The spear and halberd units were first concentrated, beginning to redeploy.
The musketeers stood by where they were, most holding their side swords, while a few had found long spears and heavy halberds from the bodies.
Jeska's battalion remained outside, it wasn't their turn to enter the large square formation yet.
Winters saw everything, anxious at heart; this was the moment when the large square formation was at its most vulnerable, even more so than before.
What was worse, the thundering sound of hooves rose again.
Hundreds of black-armored cavalry charged out from the Red River Tribe's main formation, heading straight for the Paratu square formation.
Leading the charge was the Barbarian Chief in red armor, only now on an even more conspicuous red warhorse.
More and more Herder cavalry followed the black-armored cavalry out of their main formation.
The Red River Tribe's cavalry from the main formation—the Herders' reserve forces—also joined in this charge.
