Chapter349 The iron-blooded female general who wants to find a man
The Noxian cavalry whizzing past held a leather wooden shield in his left hand and a two-meter-three-meter three-pointed cypress lance in his right hand. He was wearing an iron-trimmed battle skirt weighing more than fifty kilograms. Although he had followed him on horseback since childhood,
Some of the barbarian riders who grew up in high school are still incomparable, but the pedals are enough to make up for the gap in riding skills between the two.
At this moment, a cavalry force of a thousand people on the left and right flanks surrounded the Heidi camp on both sides like a pair of pliers about to close, and soon caught up with the more than 5,000 Heidi soldiers who were evacuating.
Horace did not expect the Noxians to charge so decisively. He knew very well that if the cavalry could not be blocked, once the Noxian infantry behind them caught up, these 5,000 soldiers would have to answer the question.
Here, the other five thousand people on the second line of defense are currently setting up magic traps, and there is no way to support them.
"Conan! You lead five hundred men to stay behind! Be sure to hold off the opponent's cavalry!"
Knowing that this was an order to die, Conan yelled without any complaint.
"Who has any mana left? Come with me!"
"For Lord Heidi!!!"
"Kill!!"
Seeing that his soldiers were about to bite the Heidi's tail, before Kled started to charge, he saw hundreds of people swimming upstream and raising their palms in his direction.
The next second, more than a hundred magic light arrows came straight towards the direction of the cavalry's attack. Because the charging formation was too dense, the riders had no chance to escape for a while. More than fifty riders were directly blown off their horses by the magic.
, and for a time, people were thrown off their feet and it was chaos.
The momentum of the cavalry charge stalled, and several riders even began to instinctively turn their horses' heads.
With an axe, he knocked away several arrows of magic light that were coming towards him. Kled looked back at the knights following him, his eyes began to become bloodshot, and his sanity gradually disappeared.
He couldn't remember the names of all the Noxian riders, but the yordle's innate talent for sensing emotions allowed him to know that he was a general respected by humans, and they did not regard him as other yordles.
They are the closest comrades in arms who can fool or make fun of them just like everyone else.
The title of General of the Cavalry is a self-proclaimed title, but it is also the recognition of their bravery by the Noxian horsemen. But now, so many comrades and companions have died in an inexplicable magic sneak attack.
He could accept his men dying honorably on the battlefield, but he couldn't accept dying from a despicable magic attack.
"Scum!! I'm going to kill you!!! Skaar!!!!"
Sensing the monstrous rage from his master's emotions, Skaar, who was initially flinching from the magic light arrow, finally raised his ears covered with dragon scales. The dragon lizard quickened its pace and roared in its own way: "Guluhuhu"
Hooooo!!!!”
The magic steel ax glowed with blood, and the desire for killing made the magic steel axe, Kled and Skaar merge into one. Like a bloody stream of light, they broke away from the cavalry team behind them and fought alone towards the newly organized cavalry.
Heidi mages in resistance formation.
"Attack that yordle!!!"
Conan roared and issued an order, but before the Heidi mages could lock their target, the bloody ax came down and directly chopped the three Heidi people in the front into two pieces from their shoulders to their waists.
Then the dragon lizard knight rampaged like a bloody whirlwind, leaving Master Heidi with heavy casualties no longer able to stand still and cast spells safely.
"Why is this dwarf so strong?"
As soon as the last thought came to his mind, Conan lost consciousness, his head flew up high, and landed gracefully among the piles of corpses.
The next second, the Noxian cavalry who followed them raised their lances and impaled each of the Heidi wizards wearing robes on the ground.
While Kled and the right-wing cavalry were killing people, the cavalry lieutenant on the left side bypassed the 500 Heidi people who were destined to die and continued to pursue forward despite the loss of magic light from behind.
Further to the rear, the infantry led by Margaret quickly approached.
Under the pursuit of the cavalry, the Heidi people's formation was completely chaotic, and the retreat finally turned into a rout. When they evacuated to the second line of defense, Horace found that out of the 5,000 people, less than 3,000 had escaped.
Horace, whose heart was bleeding, began to regain his strength. Seeing that the cavalry was still chasing, the man directly gave the order to attack.
The loss of thousands of magic lights caused heavy losses to the cavalry on the left wing. The leading cavalry lieutenant turned into a ball of broken flesh, and a large piece of the sparse 500 people fell directly.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
As soon as the red-eyed cavalry stepped into the magic trap, they were blown to pieces by the sudden burst of magic energy. Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the remaining more than a hundred riders finally chose to turn their horses and retreat, but Hela
Si did not let go of the cavalry. Under the attack of the magic light, the last one hundred or so riders fell to the ground and merged into a pool of blood.
"Save mana! Remember to aim when casting!"
Under the counterattack of the Heidi people, Alice had to stop the offensive and began to gather her team.
Originally, he wanted to use the magic trap hidden on the ground to drag the Noxians here, but Horace once again saw the roaring exploding crossbow, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.
Several crossbows misjudged their trajectory and shot directly into the area of the magic trap. The violent fire element detonated a large area of land and blasted out more than a dozen large and small potholes. The magic trap used to block the attack was completely destroyed.
The decorations.
Horace simply did not dare to bet on how many alchemical ballistae the enemy had. Seeing that the second line of defense did not play its due role, and knowing that his men would never be able to experience a second defeat, he issued an order to Kalya.
Anvil's order to retreat.
Well aware of the principle of not pursuing enemies when they are in trouble, Alice had no intention of continuing to press due to the heavy losses of her cavalry. She also chose to pay the money and retreat her troops. Instead of dealing with magic traps, she simply cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew to Northenburg.
…
The continuous tents have turned into ashes, the Heidi people have also withdrawn to the north, and the siege of Northenburg has been lifted.
The Emerald Territory Support Corps held a simple military meeting.
Sitting at the head of the table and letting the mid-level generals below him discuss spontaneously, Alice frowned and said nothing.
Although everything was going smoothly in the war, Alice always felt that something was wrong.
Kled, on the other hand, scolded the Heidi people for their shameless fighting style. He angrily leaned the ax against the wall. Kled sat on a high stool, took off his hat, and slapped the hat on the table with murderous intent.
The intimidating yordle made the other generals shut up.
"These hedgehogs who are less courageous than fleas don't want to fight us head-on! Their weird energy magic doesn't seem to require chants and magic circles at all. It can be triggered directly and is hard to guard against. We need more cavalry! We also need to be able to
Hard armor to resist their energy magic! As long as you can rush in front of them, they can only become lambs to be slaughtered!"
"The armor of the Black Guard may be able to withstand the magical attacks of the Heidi people, but our horses cannot bear the weight of the Black Guard at all. With our legs alone, we simply cannot outrun those Heidi wizards who travel lightly."
"Sir Edmund, I wonder if there is any mage in Black Rose who can add a magic shield. It must be able to resist at least three attacks from Heidi's magic."
"Yes, there is. Unfortunately, this kind of magic can't last too long. We can't apply a magic barrier to too many people. It's meaningless to have a barrier for dozens of people. It's better to save mana by releasing a large-scale
Barrier to resist attacks..."
"I heard that in addition to the mage army, the Heidi people also have a legion composed of ordinary people. Unfortunately, our enemies are not those with swords, but mages who can't touch the edge at all..."
Listening to her subordinates discussing the post-war summary, Alice was suddenly stunned.
"You think, why did the Heidi deliberately leave the mage army to deal with us? Is it to capture Northenburg?"
The generals were stunned for a moment, some of them didn't quite understand what Alice meant.
"What I mean is that including the tents and traps deliberately left by the Heidi people, judging from their purpose alone, it seems that they just want to cause us enough damage. Their intention to capture Northenburg is very weak.
Those long-range mages can't take Northenburg at all, so what's the point of their harassment?"
"Alice, what do you mean, they are stalling for time? But with our strength alone, it is impossible to go to Xuelai Fortress to relieve the siege. The most we can do is harass the Heidi supply line north of Kaljas Anvil. They
For this reason, mobilizing an army of 10,000 mage troops to deal with us is simply useless. Instead, we will lose our troops just like today.
By the time Margaret's reinforcements arrive, the Dalmo Plain is so big that there won't be a second force that can become our evenly matched opponent, so delaying this time is completely meaningless."
In the entire legion, only Kled calls himself and the legion commander by their first names. He knows the nature of the yordles well. Alice doesn't care about this small offense. She just feels that she is about to grasp a key point, just like
A thin film usually breaks when it is poked, but until it is broken, it is always in a state of looking for flowers in the fog.
"This is where it doesn't make sense...Kled, I need your cavalry to investigate the situation near Northenburg."
"No problem, I still have some unfinished ideas."
Picking up his hat from the table and putting it on, Kled shouldered his big axe.
"If I find an enemy, I will chop it down with my axe..."
"If an enemy is discovered, you must evacuate quickly. Safety is the first priority. This is an order!"
Pouting his lips, Kled waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, you are the boss, you have the final say."
…
In the middle of winter, at noon.
The unsettling atmosphere of war spread out from near the border of the Kingdom of Northland, causing the soldiers of the Meteor Fortress next to the Black Iron River to nervously hold spears and short bows in their hands as they watched a ferocious black dragon swim up the river.
Among the waving flags, General Anthony recognized the meaning of the "Winged Sword" and quickly wrote an urgent letter, using the magic carrier pigeon as the letter carrier to send it to the royal capital "City Around the Moon".
The general of the Northland Kingdom understood that the owner of the black dragon was a neighbor in the southwest on the Nocmooch Plains. They both belonged to Noxus, but it was a unique independent territory.
The Emerald Territory produces many palace luxuries that upper-class nobles like to use. It is also a territory blessed by gods and protected by angels. The names of the Silver Dragon Knight and the Demon-faced Lord Lester are known to everyone, especially
The lord's handsomeness and honor are engraved on the front of the gold coins of the Jade Collar, which has made countless girls and ladies crazy, and even caused a craze for collecting the Jade Collar gold coins in the past few years.
Whether it is the Emerald Territory or Leicester, they are the favorite topics of communication among the palace ladies. Thanks to this, Anthony clearly understands what it means for the Emerald Territory to send troops.
In the eyes of most people, the [Angel Dance] collected in the royal family is a rare treasure for worship and appreciation. In Anthony's view, the Angel Dance means the absolute crushing of human power by divine power. He is willing to do it for
Children tell stories about gods before going to bed, but they are absolutely unwilling to face gods on the battlefield.
A few kilometers away, due to the higher terrain, he could see a continuous stream of transport ships. However, Anthony could not see how many troops were on the transport ships. Only the black armor was very conspicuous.
"No one is allowed to leave the fortress without my order!"
After giving the order, Anthony left the fortress tower. He had more important things to do before getting specific news from the king.
More than forty large ships carrying soldiers, horses, grain and grass were sailing upstream of the Black Iron River. With the blessing of magic, no oars were needed. The ships carrying more than 300 people could easily break through the waves and separate the two sides of the river.
The scenery is far behind.
At this moment, Margaret was not wearing heavy magic steel plate armor, but was wearing a lady's general's war robe designed by Trishley. The hem of the dress was clanking in the biting cold wind, but the woman was as motionless as a mountain.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The middle-aged woman with a majestic look just stood there quietly and looked at the eastern sky. After the breeze blew, she squinted her eyes and looked blankly.
He glanced at the adjutant.
The female adjutant on the side consciously lowered her head and stepped away, leaving time for the woman who held the supreme authority.
After the female adjutant left, Margaret sighed softly, showing a bit of loneliness.
It had been five years since Margaret had seen her man. Margaret often thought about everything that had happened in the past in the silent nights, the hugs the man gave her, and the promises he made to her. Every time in the cold night,
When she woke up, the man was not by her side, which made her wonder if the man would never come back. This seemed to have become her nightmare.
Even the Night Blade Killer who went to Ionia to look for information about the lord did not get any effective information. Even the League of Assassins of the Local Snakes admitted that they had never seen Noxus riding a dragon bird and looking noble.
People, such terrible information can't explain anything, but it can also explain some problems.
In fact, although the senior officials of the Emerald Territory did not say anything, they had this unspoken guess in their hearts.
No one knows what is going on on the other continent across the Sea of Watchers, and no one dares to pat their chests and guarantee that the powerful Lester will be able to walk safely in other parts of the world.
The reason why there has been no trouble in the Jade Territory without a legal heir is just because the man left his mask behind when he left, and the other woman put on the mask and lived like a man.
I wore it for five full years.
It's about to be the sixth year.
Margaret couldn't imagine what a terrible scene it would be like if the people of the Emerald Territory knew that their lord had disappeared forever without blood. The woman also didn't want to imagine that the battlefield had already turned her into a cold iron man.
Just like the armor she wears.
In this world, except for that man, no one can shake her emotions in the slightest.
The woman is just very sure that after rescuing the Vakul Chapter this time, she will gradually transfer power to young Alice, and then she will lead the elite legion of the Emerald Territory to form a fleet across the ocean and embark on another land that has never been seen before.
The land you set foot on.
Anything that hinders her from finding her man will be her unrelenting enemy.
