The whole world seemed to have fallen into eternal night.
The Cumberland leader watched helplessly as the camp with fire in front of him slowly disappeared from sight, but he found the direction of the attack, raised his whip and gave the horse a hard whip on the buttocks, and let the horse rush down from the sand dune.
The war horse sped up again, its hooves flying into the air, and yellow sand and a layer of white snow rose up under its feet.
The cronies who were following closely behind saw the leader speeding up, and they followed suit and started galloping.
Although this group of desert bandits from Huwan Oasis still have five senses, their sight distance seems to be deprived. They can only see a dozen meters in front, and can't hear any other sounds except the sound of their own running horses' hooves...
Completely immersed in darkness, the robbers felt a sense of panic.
However, before the throbbing in my heart was fully aroused, the tents at the foot of the sand dunes suddenly appeared. These tents seemed to have appeared all of a sudden.
The Cumberland leader was riding on horseback, leaning slightly to the left. His left foot was on the stirrup, his right foot was hooked on the saddle, his right hand was holding the saddle tightly, and his left hand was holding the scimitar with all his strength, pointing toward the left.
The camp tent on the side was cut away, and there was a "tearing" sound, and the tent with a thick layer of felt on the canvas was cut off.
Unfortunately, the veterans of the cavalry battalion inside the tent were not huddled in sleeping bags, looking like they were awake, waiting for the desert bandits to massacre them wantonly.
Six veterans of the cavalry battalion, wearing bright black full-cover armor, half-crouched in the tent without saying a word, assuming the most classic defensive posture of infantry soldiers. They held heavy tower shields in their hands, and the six of them formed a group.
A fighting team, with shields protecting everyone in the center.
The edge of the scimitar in the Cumberland chief's hand struck the shield, sparking a burst of sparks.
Before he could wipe out a cavalryman's head with his sword, he saw a sharp spear thrust out from the gap in the tower shield. The Cumberland leader quickly waved his scimitar to cut off the spear in front of him.
, but he underestimated the speed of the spear. The edge of his scimitar just happened to sweep the tip of the spear. The two weapons collided and a huge spark burst out. The arms of the veteran holding the spear shook violently and he clenched the spear.
The tiger's mouth of the spear felt a burst of pain.
He didn't let go at all. After the spear was thrust out, the spear tip deflected a little downward. The spear failed to penetrate deeply into the Cumberland leader's abdomen, but stuck to the edge of his thigh and completely penetrated the war horse.
In his chest, the Cumberland leader's horse let out a mournful cry and fell forward.
The Cumberland leader jumped up from his horse very nimbly. A huge sand scorpion appeared behind him. He pounced steadily towards the tent in front of him and slashed out again. The scimitar in his hand burst out with sparks.
.
The Cumberland leader thought that his sharp blow after dismounting would be able to kill at least one veteran, but what he didn't expect was that when his scimitar stabbed at the tent, a butcher's ax firmly blocked the scimitar.
Andrew emerged from the tent waving the Butcher. The 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure completely made up for his shortcomings in defense in battle. The magic pattern structure also provided him with some bonuses in terms of strength and physical strength. He immediately
Make him appear more comfortable in battle.
Andrew stopped a leader of the Sand Bandits. The heavy butcher's ax hit the Cumberland leader's scimitar one after another. Even though it was a scimitar blessed with magic metal, it was still hit hard by Andrew's butcher's ax.
Sawtooth.
Arousing his own "power", a giant sand scorpion was always behind the Cumberland leader, giving the Cumberland leader some strength and speed improvements.
Unfortunately, just as the Cumberland leader rushed up, he met Andrew, who had a magic pattern structure. He was forced into a panic by Andrew's fierce offensive. The Cumberland leader retreated continuously. Although he was wearing hard leather armor, he was struck by Andrew's butcher axe.
Next, several wounds were quickly scratched on the body, blood flowed out, and half of the body was immediately dyed red.
The sand bandits behind saw the leader being knocked off his horse and wanted to rescue the Cumberland leader. They did not hesitate to slow down, changed their charging formation, and chased after the Cumberland leader.
It's just that they ignored the heavily armored soldiers holding heavy shields and hiding in tents.
The spears thrust out one after another, immediately causing the sand bandits to flip over. The scimitars in the hands of the sand bandits were slashed out, and when encountering the thick tower shield, they were unable to harm the veterans at all.
Since the veterans of the cavalry battalion were hiding in the tent, when the sand bandits encountered the tent, they would naturally instinctively go around the sides of the tent. Therefore, the veterans of the cavalry battalion in the tent were not affected by the sharpest impact from the front by the war horses, and they were wearing full body armor.
Covered armor, the robber's scimitar slashed on the shield or armor, causing very limited damage to the veterans. On the contrary, these robbers were picked off their horses by the veterans with spears.
After just one charge, fifty or sixty bandits fell on the battlefield. The empty-backed horses fled in all directions in the camp, and torches fell into the ground for a while.
The bandits from Huwan Oasis couldn't even penetrate the camp. A large number of sand bandits were trapped in place by the veterans who formed a phalanx. In order to stabilize the situation, the sand bandits quickly approached the Cumberland leader and tried to
Join him together and rush out of the camp at one go.
The veterans held up heavy tower shields to surround the sand bandits in Huwan Oasis. The spears in their hands were thrust out frequently, and the sand bandits fell down from their horses.
Seeing that his men were as fragile as tissue paper in front of the heavy armored infantry, the Cumberland leader finally realized how the desert bandits in the Sweetwater Oasis disappeared out of thin air.
At this point in the battle, the Cumberland leader could only pin his hopes on the other three bandit groups.
He gasped, barely blocking Andrew's overwhelming blow, and coughed up some more blood in his chest.
I thought that even if the sand dune they were on was a little far away from here, it would be time to come to the battlefield!
I just didn't expect that except for the sand bandits from Huwan Oasis, there were no bandits from other allies in the camp.
Surdak lit up the 'Halo of Power' in the camp, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back. When he formed a formation to fight against the bandits, he felt that the power under his feet was constantly being replenished. The veterans originally only had the upper hand.
Now the desert bandits have been defeated.
Suddenly, everyone in the camp was in a state of uproar.
The Cumberland leader stared with blood-red eyes, expecting the bandits to come from other directions, but the sound of intermittent fighting came from the distance, which made his heart suddenly feel cold...
The battlefield seems a bit far away from here...
…
Chief Lowell led a group of desert bandits to attack the camp under the dunes from the west.
Holding torches in their hands, they rushed into the camp without seeing any obstacles along the way.
Darkness fell, shielding their vision within fifteen meters. Holding torches in their hands, they shuttled between the tents in the camp. After picking up several tents, they discovered that the tents were filled with fodder for war horses.
One of the robbers threw the pine oil torch in his hand into the tent with a long opening. The hay inside the tent was immediately ignited by the fire, and flames burst out.
Although the flames came out of the tent, the surroundings were still completely shrouded in darkness, and the sight distance seemed to be deprived.
The fire started, and the blazing flames made the horses afraid to approach. Before the robbers could light other tents, all the tents around here were burning.
Many bandits were riding horses and crowded into the camp. They were using machetes to cut open the tents, which were just filled with some hay. When they saw that the tents outside the camp had been burned, they suddenly realized that they
He was actually trapped in the camp, with flames burning all around, and the frightened neighing of war horses was heard frequently.
Leader Lowell quickly raised his machete in the air, preparing to gather all his bandits together, but only then did he realize that the bandits who were a little further away could not hear his call...
Just when he hesitated a little, a fine steel arrow flew past his eyes. With a 'pop' sound, it passed through the forehead of a robber's hand. The whole body fell straight on his back and fell off the horse. The robbers around him were all stunned.
Looking at this scene in shock, I was speechless for a moment.
"Rush out first..."
Chief Lowell shouted to the surrounding desert bandits.
The surrounding bandits immediately responded, and together with Chief Lowell, rushed towards the direction where the fire had not yet started.
However, during this process, some robbers continued to fall off their horses. The sharpshooter hidden in the darkness seemed to be very principled. He almost only shot robbers on horseback, but never harmed the horses.
When Chief Lowell wanted to rush out of the camp, he discovered that the tents were poorly arranged. If the bandits wanted to rush out, they had to go around the camp with fire everywhere...
