Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    There was less than a day left before the war song, but this journey was even more difficult for Larov than before.  Ever since Bert's mission to attack the demon patrol failed, it was obvious that the demons already knew that there was an Atak team on this road.  There are very few demons outside the Warsong Capital. Most of them have left the Warsong Capital and gone to hide in places far away where no one knows.  But this small group of demons was determined not to let Ralof and the others return to Warsong City safely.

    The number of this demon clan is very small, only one hundred and fifty people.  But almost everyone has a horse, and they all carry extremely powerful longbows.  Their horses come and go like the wind, have pure black eyes, and purple-red fur.  Perhaps their mission is to stay and observe the movements of the "Zealous" Legion outside Zhangedu, so they have such equipment.

    Of course, they are also likely to be used as cannon fodder to slow down the movement of Atak's army.  In any case, in the face of these horse archers, no one will safely mobilize the army and expose the people in the mountains and plains outside the city to the killing range of arrows. In this way, the demon's plan will be successful.  .

    "Shenxiao himself was given up, so he has no fear" Roland pierced the heart of a demon with a sacred spear. When the light element disappeared, the opponent's blood spurted out.  Not long ago, this demon was brave enough to stay and use his own blood to ensure that others could escape safely.

    "Annoying bastards." Jessdown slapped his hair with his dueling sword in a very graceless manner. "They take turns harassing each other for more than ten minutes, then go back to the camp to replenish their arrows, and then continue to attack, endlessly.  ¡­¡±

    They just used bows and arrows to fight back, successfully killing many demon horse archers and forcing them to return.  But within five minutes, before the rest could even end, another one appeared on the distant horizon of the flat snowfield.

    Larov glanced at the tired faces of the soldiers worriedly. From last night to now, everyone has to stay vigilant even when sleeping. Fortunately, the demons also need to rest, otherwise they will really be overwhelmed.  They need a good sleep and a peaceful meal before they can complete the rest of the journey.

    "Keep going." Ralof sighed, the same was true for the Spode Empire's horse archers.

    Strong bows and crossbows, galloping horses, superb archers, and heavy maces form a cavalry archer of the Spode Empire.  The most powerful period in the history of the Atak Empire was the Trajan dynasty. During that glorious time, the iron cavalry of the Atak Empire drank their horses under the Silver Scale River in the Reit Empire and galloped on the Star-Moon Plains of Megtz.  , passed through the volcanoes of the Dark Empire, and entered the square of the Tomb of Heroes of the Defens Empire However, the proud heavy cavalry were defeated by the horse archers of the Spode Empire.

    There are not many fixed cities in the Spode Empire, and the flat grasslands provide countless hiding places.  Atak's army occupied the capital of the Spode Empire, but found it deserted. They roared and searched on the grassland, but did not find even a single Spode man.  When they returned to the camp in frustration, they found that the supply line had been cut off.

    Then, when the main army was drowned by arrows pouring down like a torrential rain in the valley, and after Trajan himself was hit by dozens of arrows and died, the Atak army signed the contract in embarrassment and fled back to the Atak Empire.  .

    As time goes by and thousands of years have passed, it is now increasingly difficult for the Spode Empire's cavalry to function.  The introduction of heavy armor, more powerful magicians, and the popularity of blood and anger have made the archers no longer show off their power.  Moreover, other countries are also constantly developing cavalry to counterattack. The heyday of cavalry is over.

    But now, Larov and the others are still unable to defeat the demon horse archers.  Although they have mental power detection that can prevent sudden attacks by horse archers, the constant harassment from the demons makes it difficult for them to move forward.  Moreover, Larov and the others are constantly showing up with soldiers who are unfortunately hit by arrows, and the number of opponents seems to be increasing.

    "There are more than just these people." Lear murmured to himself, "I'm listening to Xue and Tiantian. There are at least four hundred demons nearby. They have gathered together, but they are just increasing in number, causing the demons who are coming one after another.  the illusion.¡±

    "If what Lear said is true, we will be very unfortunate." Jestang frowned, and he smashed an arrow with a fireball.

    "Before we arrive at the Warsong Capital, they will definitely launch a general attack with all their strength." Bert speculated, "Otherwise, their efforts will be in vain. The demons have been dragging our strength, just to be able to attack once and for all."  Sex destroys us.¡±

    "Well, they retreated," Bert said.

    "I hope this is because other Atak troops have come to help us" Roland whispered, "maybe it's the Knights of Faith, maybe it's the 'Zeal' army."??, maybe the Knights of the Wind.  "

    "Speaking of the Wind Knights, I haven't seen Georgelf for a long time." Bert interjected, "He is a good person."

    "Ah, I know him." Roland smiled, "I fought him five times a year ago, and I lost four. His 'Piercing Dragon' can directly pierce and shatter my hammer of confession.  , and he is so rich. The weapons, armor, and even the horse's armor are all mixed with a lot of God King fine steel, which is too much to handle. Even if he reduces his power to Qinghui level and replaces it with  Even with armor and weapons, it would be difficult for me to defeat him.¡±

    "I want to fight him." Bert was eager to give it a try.

    Roland pointed to a scar on his shoulder armor: "This is caused by the shock wave that erupted when the 'Piercing Dragon' collided with the Hammer of Penance. Even though the collision place was far away from me, I was still injured.  Arrived. And Georgelf himself, enveloped in the scope of the shock wave, was unharmed, which is really touching."

    "Did I say something just now? Oh, the weather is nice today." Bert said.

    Bert turned to the side. He put Georgelf aside and began to blame himself again.  After all, if they had not failed to eliminate the demon patrols, the demons would not have known of their existence, let alone harass them day and night.  If Bert worked harder, he might be able to annihilate the demon patrol Now everyone might have arrived at Warsong City.

    "I have to find a way to remedy this." Bert said in his heart.

    Hanno and the other soldiers who participated in that battle thought so too. Larov only said a few words verbally, and strengthened the discipline training of the guards without punishing them too much.  Therefore, they now want to pay for their mistakes at all costs and let go of the heavy guilt in their hearts.

    "Listen!" The sword spirit suddenly let out a sharp whistle, "All the demons are probably here, coming from all directions, trying to surround us! There are a hundred people on the west and south sides, and eighty people on the north, who are cavalry. And on the east  It's fifty infantry, but it's also the furthest away from us." As soon as its voice fell, Larov gave the order to rush eastward without hesitation.

    He placed pikemen on the flanks and behind to counterattack the demon cavalry.  The others ran to the east with all their strength. If they were surrounded by the cavalry, it would be a dead end.  The Sword Spirit's detection range is very wide, so they get early warning and get about three minutes of safety time before being overtaken by the cavalry.

    "Let our cavalry go first!" Ralof shouted, "Hanno! Defeat those demon infantry, listen, prove that your time has come. I hope that when we get there, we will see corpses everywhere.  Demons!"

    "Understood! Boys, follow me." Hannuo's blood boiled. They wanted to defeat the demon infantry as soon as possible, so that others would not be blocked by the infantry and could concentrate on dealing with the cavalry.

    "Coming!" Burt galloped, and the Atak cavalry formed a "U" shape after making up for the cavalry tactics.  This formation is good for dealing with infantry that outnumbers your own.

    At this time, they no longer cared about cherishing their horsepower. They ran with all their strength. After about a minute, they already saw the demon infantry.  The demon infantry looked very surprised. They thought that the Atak people should still be marching slowly to prevent themselves from being caught off guard by the archer brother.  How did the Atak cavalry in front of them know the demons' plan?  Because they were not prepared, the demon clan's formation was not tight, leaving many gaps between people.

    "Atta-ke!" Hanno roared, holding the spear in place with the barrel pointing slightly downward.

    "Atta-gram! Atta-gram!" The long spears were clamped under the armpits, tilted slightly downward, and a cold light suddenly appeared.  One of the most terrifying scenes in the war is that of a group of cavalry with their spears cocked and leveling their spears during a charge.  Countless spears turned from upright to flat, which meant that within ten seconds, the enemy's shrill wails could be heard.

    "Ah¡ª¡ª" When the two teams came into contact, five or six demon infantrymen were stabbed to death or knocked away in an instant.  At the same time, when the spear shattered, crisp "snap" sounds also continued to sound.  The rider clamped his legs tightly to barely ensure that he would not be taken off the horse by the reaction force.  When the cavalry charged, there were countless examples of tragedies in which many people fell over due to the huge counterattack force.  This situation did not improve until the invention of the stirrup.  In this way, the rider can shift his attention from maintaining balance and more to charging with the lance.

    "Long sword!" Hannuo roared, and the Atak cavalry dropped the broken spear, pulled out the long sword at the waist, and slashed at the demon infantry.  Every time Bert's bloody sword was swung, it would bring up a bloody mist.  He drove his war horse to dash left and right, disrupting the demon clan's formation, and faced the enemy bravely.  When your companions are surrounded by demon infantry,At this moment, Bert will rush to the rescue.  When several demons gathered to defend, it was his turn to go over and knock down the enemies one by one.
