A sharp whistle echoed in the dense woods, and then a burst of dense and heavy steps passed by like the wind. The ground shook, accompanied by the sound of metal hitting.
"Look, over there!"
"The vanguard of those monsters are catching up!"
"Stop them, don't let them catch up with Ms. Veronica!"
The knights shouted, and the leader was Faina, who was dressed in military uniform. She looked towards the criss-crossing hills and valleys, and at the junction of mountains in the distance, a group of people covered with dark crystal-like carapace appeared.
creature.
That is the most common type of monsters. The strength of the middle and upper reaches of Silver is very fast, only slightly slower than the light cavalry of the Empire. The key is that they often act as the vanguard of the monster army. Once they are entangled by them, the ones behind them will
The main force of monsters will come in a steady stream and drag them all to death here.
From Simez to Mehotofen, in the past half month, I have fought against these monsters countless times. Although I have lost more and won less, the survivors have finally figured out the details of these enemies. Of course, the Cruz people can no longer
I can't find the courage to fight this terrifying army in a decisive battle, but there is still no problem in a small team confrontation.
Not to mention that those present were the elite of the Imperial Knights, the Knights of the Broken Sword.
"As long as you don't get entangled with them." Faina instantly made up her mind. She raised her sword, clamped it in the belly of the dragon, and rushed towards the vanguard of the crystal clusters.
"Knights, follow me!"
The noble daughter's leading role ignited the pride in the hearts of the accompanying knights, and they shouted in unison: "Kill!"
Then it poured down. A distance of a hundred meters passed by in an instant. Faina and her dragon were the first to rush into the formation of crystal clusters. The rune array on her armor lit up first, followed by white magic missiles.
Then came the flame thorns: white beams of light shot into the clusters of crystal clusters like flying needles, and the crystal clusters all fell down. The crystal clusters that came up again hit the burning clusters around Faina's horse.
On top of the thorns, it immediately exploded into pieces.
Faina took advantage of the situation and knocked over a relatively strong-looking crystal cluster with a sword, then raised her head and left hand in the other direction. The magic circle on the gauntlet lit up slightly, and a fireball flew out towards the dense cluster of monsters, churning.
The flame exploded in the darkness, forming a bright golden ball. The knights saw countless crystal clusters being lifted into the air.
The knights let out a burst of exclamation. Faina's magic talent and swordsmanship were perfectly combined at this moment. If Brando were here, his eyes would light up and marvel at the growth of this young lady's practical skills. Crystal Cluster
The opening in the front opened instantly, and the knights behind immediately swarmed in, continuing to expand their victory.
Such a scene is often staged in the battle of East Metz, but the advantage of the Cruz people often does not last long. The crystal clusters can use their quantitative advantage to make up for their qualitative disadvantage. Even if the Knights of the Broken Sword
The same goes for their combat power and mutual understanding, which are far superior to them. What's more, in terms of high-end strength, the Clusters are not inferior either.
Faina knew that they had to run in order to unleash the fighting power of the Folding Sword Knight. She moved forward as hard as she could, killing all the monsters in front of her one by one. Fortunately, this was not the main force of the crystal cluster army. There was no sea.
With the same number of monsters, the quality advantage quickly took over the situation.
When her vision suddenly became empty, Faina realized that they had successfully turned around and were in sight of victory, and they just needed to work harder.
"Run, run!" Faina shouted loudly, with heavy breathing in her voice. She was exhausted from the continuous battles after nightfall. This was exactly the strategy of the crystal cluster army. When those monsters were fighting,
They are rigid and rigid, as if they have no brains. But there is a brilliant will behind them commanding them. The many battles along the way from East Metz to here have already proved this.
But the knights running at the back could no longer escape. In fact, they were exhausted. Faina watched helplessly as those monsters pounced on the back of the dragon and pulled the young knights off the saddle.
, her heart felt sad for a while. She bit her lower lip tightly, and for some reason, another face suddenly came to mind.
"Am I going to die here, bumpkin, that bad guy?"
The Broken Sword Knight finally started running and put some distance between himself and the crystal cluster army chasing behind him.
Faina was looking for an opportunity to turn around and rush into the enemy's formation again. Suddenly, several bright flashes lit up in the darkness ahead. One, two, and three fire marks passed over the heads of the knights, leaving golden marks in their sight.
With the red afterimage, they turned around just in time to see balls of fire exploding among the cluster of monsters in that direction.
The ground shook, and heat waves rolled in.
This time, Faina's order was no longer needed. The knights automatically turned around and returned to the enemy's formation. The vanguard of the crystal cluster, which had been severely damaged, was no longer able to resist. After three back and forth charges, the battlefield in the valley could no longer be seen.
There is less than one monster still standing on the ground.
Layers of corpses covered the valley. The knights stopped and got off their mounts to rest. Some people collapsed on the ground as soon as they got off the saddle of the dragon, as if they no longer had the strength to stand up.
However, there are also people who are looking for something in the corpses of crystal clusters. Some crystal clusters are accompanied by magic crystals, which are an important means for mages to restore their mental power at this moment.
The night wind blew down from the ridge, blowing away the embers and smoke on the battlefield. The tattered flag of the Knights of the Broken Sword fluttered in the wind. Faina also jumped off her mount and leaned against the dragon.
Resting on her right hind limb, she turned on the kettle and saw several mages in silver robes waving to them on the distant hills in the darkness, beckoning them to catch up quickly.
That was the grey-robed apprentice of the Buga people. Faina's confused mind recalled what had happened before. Although on the battlefield in East Metz, she didn't know which Buga people had used strategic spells to support them.
They were with the dragon, but she did not expect that Luo An, the leader of the Secret Law Walkers, would come here to meet them in person. He was one of the twelve wizard leaders of the Silver Alliance and a legendary figure. It is said that he was in Eruin some time ago.
He was injured, but it seems that he has almost recovered now.
Faina couldn't figure out what kind of situation could harm such a terrifying being. The first thing she thought of was whether it might be related to that bad guy. But this time, the wealthy lady really guessed it right.
During An's adventure with Brando to the Deathfrost Forest, he was injured by Star's 'Tsar Bomb'. However, he was very strong, but his injuries were all healed in just a few months.
There was also a golden dragon accompanying Luo An. Faina recognized the mature lady with blond hair who turned into a human form and was called Aksha Lopez. She had fought alongside the Cruz people in East Metz and was one of the few who escaped by chance that day.
One of the giant dragons.
The Buga people somehow convinced Veronica and the eldest son of the emperor to choose to take the southern foothills of the Alkash Mountains, through the Alka region, and enter the wilderness of the four realms. However, in this way, they will inevitably encounter the crystal cluster army.
The successive encounters throughout the night were extremely hard, and the remaining morale of the Cruz people was almost exhausted.
It is for this reason that the Dukes did not dare to let the private armies of the nobles walk behind, lest they collapse when being pursued by the crystal clusters. As a result, the Black Legion and the Knights of the Broken Sword had to stay behind to break up the rear.
.
Fortunately, there was help from the Bugas, otherwise the battle would have been decided.
Faina took a deep breath, and the cold air soaked into her lungs, irritating her so much that she almost coughed out. She glanced in the distance, and a figure flashed out of the gray-robed Master Buga.
Running quickly in this direction, the figure held the robe, ran towards her from far to near, and then swooped into her arms:
"elder sister!"
"Elise," Faina said sternly, "Why are you here?"
"Sister, I want to help you," Elise raised her hands: "Look, sister, I am also a magician. Even the Buga people praise me for my talent in casting spells."
"Nonsense, you should stay next to the teacher, that's where you should be!"
Probably because she didn't expect Faina's reaction to be so violent, the little girl's eyes immediately became mist-filled: "Sister, I...I'm worried about you, my father and brother...how can I stay alone?"
later?"
Faina's heart softened. There had been a time when she was not like this. She recalled her encounter with that bad guy in the Ring of Trade Winds. At that time, she did not think that she was unruly and willful at all, only that he was hateful.
The country bumpkins are so annoying.
But now that I think about it, those are such warm memories.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her sister's long golden hair. Her brother and father were on another battlefield, and all of Mehotofen's strength was devoted to this escape battle that determined the life and death of the empire. What he did was exactly the same.
It's to protect those you want to protect.
"Elise, listen, I'm not in danger at all here, but you can't distract me, you know?"
"Really, sister?"
"Of course. I am Teacher Veronica's most proud disciple and a genius of the empire. How could something happen here? If you don't believe me, just ask them."
She set her sights on the Knights of the Broken Sword. Although she was not a member of the Knights of the Broken Sword, most of the members of the Knights of the Broken Sword were trained by the Blue Sword Saint. The young people laughed and did not respond to Miss Qianjin's boasting.
Comment.
Faced with these lazy guys, Faina could only sigh. In fact, she was indeed lying. The army had just entered the outskirts of Alka. In history, the empire had a conflict with the wind elves and the Faenzan people here.
The terrain here is wide and open, making it very convenient for the crystal cluster army to pursue. At least it cannot be said to be safe until it passes through the Ordos Pass.
Before that, there are at least several tough battles to be fought, and no one dares to say who can last until the end.
