The pages of paper were turning in the dark night, and the cold autumn wind passed through the empty streets. The notice about the attack by unidentified bandits on the Tuosangkade mining area three months ago seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, and several pictures
The wanted notices were fluttering like butterflies on the bulletin board. The militiamen and the police were running around the streets like headless flies, with chaotic shouts and sharp whistles ringing harshly in the night.
The whole town. The bells on the spire of the central temple of the town finally resounded loudly. The nightmare of midnight terror suddenly shrouded everyone's heads like a frightening omen. However, there was an atmosphere of panic.
Below, there were still people who responded indifferently. Shanali was wearing the uniform of the White Wings Cavalry Regiment, leaning against the wall outside the city hall with his arms folded, looking indifferently at a young couple on the other side of the street not far away who was saying goodbye.
"Loni, take this with you. I heard that the places in Svenfano are very cold and you may need it." The young man in the guard uniform stuffed his thick fur coat into the carriage of the girl with concern.
Hand. Most of the people sitting in the carriage looked gloomy and silent. Only the girl looked pale and grabbed the young man's hand: "Ivan, won't you come with us?"
The young man smiled: "Loni, I am a member of the security force. I was ordered by Her Royal Highness the Princess to swear allegiance to this kingdom and the future King. It is my responsibility to guard this land and protect everyone. Don't be willful.
I will join you soon. Besides -" he pulled out his sword, and the shining blade made everyone's hearts tremble. "My swordsmanship is one of the best among the guards. Those bones are nothing.
It's scary, Loni, just wait, I will do something like Knight Bressen and Count Tonigel."
The girl pursed her lips and looked at him. Another rapid whistle sounded from the other end of the street. The boy looked back and quickly turned around and patted the back of the girl's hand: "The instructor is urging us. You can wait at Svenfano."
I don’t need to worry, they are just sporadic Madara troops, their main force is still in Butchi on the other side of the mountain, and the knights of the White Wings Cavalry have already told us that this battle is not a big deal."
The girl then nodded with tears in her eyes.
Shanali looked at it for a while and felt a little bored and turned back, just in time to catch a glimpse of his companion leading her own horse and his war horse out of the courtyard of the city hall. He immediately asked: "Captain persuade them
"Those guys with shallow eyes." The female knight curled her lips and replied somewhat coldly. Shanali knew. This was persuasion, but I'm afraid the process of persuasion was not very pleasant - those were a bunch of
Shallow guys only have immediate interests in their eyes - he agrees with this, but they themselves are not the same. No one has ever said that all the heroes of the Vanmere Legion are righteous people. On the contrary, their local reputation
It was not good. He grabbed the saddle and turned over on the horse. At the same time, he swept back so that the cloak and the sword hanging on his waist were not pinned to the side of the horse's back. He turned his head and saw Rosa finishing the same thing.
Actions.
Both of them are veteran cavalrymen and have experienced the tragic war a year ago. Shanali still remembers the scene when he charged towards the endless sea of skeletons. In the dark night, he looked around.
There were only flashing seas of phosphorus fire everywhere. Thinking about such a spectacular scene, it makes people feel chilled from the bones. It is said that many people slowed down in that battle because they were frightened.
He was stabbed to death by a spear later. But after getting familiar with the battle with Madara, people gradually discovered that the fighting power of the skeleton was nothing more than this. The thin skeleton was far less powerful than an adult human.
However, the army that knew no fear, never tired, and never retreated still left a deep impression on him.
Shanali touched the scar on his cheek and asked: "Where to go?"
"Go and meet our troops." Rosa grabbed the reins, tightened the horse's belly slightly, and trotted out at the lead. Shanali had no choice but to pat the horse and follow, but suddenly, a scream passed over the two of them, shocking
The tiles on the roofs on both sides of the street fell straight down.
He raised his head subconsciously.
Ivan grabbed his sword and turned around to run towards the meeting point. The sudden scream made the young man stop. He looked up in shock. In the vast night in the south of the town, countless stars and dots of light were slowly rising.
.These stars rose into the sky, gathered into a group, and then suddenly dispersed, like a flock of birds descending from the sky. At that moment, the young man finally understood what it was -
"hidden--!"
There was a shrill scream from somewhere, and rockets fell from the sky like raindrops. There were some pedestrians on the street who were fleeing north. At this moment, they fell like wooden piles in the rain of arrows, and the magic was tempered.
The passing cold arrow penetrated the fragile human body, and the soul fire attached to it burned like oil, turning the victim into a human-shaped struggling ball of fire in the blink of an eye. Only a few people with faster reactions were lucky.
Ivan was one of them who survived. The long-term training of the security team finally saved his life. He didn’t even know how he reacted. When he came back to his senses, his body had fallen into a pottery room.
At the entrance of the workshop. He raised his head somewhat numbly and saw that the hanging signboard at the entrance of the workshop not far away had been pierced by several arrows and was slowly being engulfed by the faint blue flame.
"What's wrong?"
He turned around and saw a patch of weeds suddenly growing on the stone-paved street. It was the tail feathers of densely packed arrows, corpses, frightened residents who nearly collapsed, and burning wreckage, which seemed to have transformed the entire town in an instant.
Ivan stared at all this with his mouth agape at the scene of hell. At this moment, a second scream passed over the entire town, causing the ground to tremble slightly. In his field of vision, he had never seen a
The winged creature flapped its wings and flew up to the spire of the central temple of the town.
…
Gage, the knight captain of the 7th Squadron of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment, just froze there. He tried to grab his command knife several times but failed. Less than a hundred meters away in front of him, countless bones and arms were lifting.
The soil protruded from the ground, then a skull with phosphorus fire burning in its eye sockets, then the collarbone, shoulder armor and the entire upper body. Countless skeletons were crawling out of the ground one after another, shaking off the dark steel.
The clods on the chainmail, holding long bows, stood up one after another, walked forward, and walked to the predetermined position. Then they raised the long bows, and the arrows on the long bows burned with faint flames.
, as if in an instant, a complete formation of long archers appeared in front of him.
Almost all the knights seemed at a loss next to Gage, because looking in all directions, the scene in front of them was not just happening in front of them, it was everywhere in the front of the Silman Valley. Under the dark night, skeleton bows and arrows
The phosphorus fire on the hand arrows forms a continuous band of light. This band of light stretches from west to east and has no end as far as the eye can see.
But the crux of the question is, where did they come from? Where did the scouts die? How did these damn skeletons get around the defense line? Did they come from underground?
There are such heavy questions hanging in everyone's mind.
But for Gage, these issues now converge into one major question—
what to do?
When the second wave of arrows fell from the sky, Walter, the almost stunned deputy commander of the White Wings Cavalry, finally reacted. He finally realized that this was by no means harassment. Even in the Black Rose War, he had never seen this before.
There are so many skeleton archers. The dark lords of Madara like to divide their armies into small groups and command them separately. Generally speaking, a group of corpse witches usually command ten to twelve skeletons - depending on how many corpse witches the dark lord has.
Depends on the Black Knight. This battle mode is like knights leading their squires to fight. Only in large battles can you often see hundreds of corpse witches driving tens of thousands of skeleton statues
It was like a tsunami rushing towards them. That was the scene that the human army was most afraid of seeing. But fortunately, such an opportunity was very rare even for the black rose of Bromando. First of all, not to mention the thousands of corpses gathered together.
Witchcraft itself is a very difficult thing. It often requires the cooperation of many lords to do it - but this is precisely the most difficult thing to happen in Madara.
Therefore, when Walter saw thousands of skeleton shooters on the long front, his first reaction was that he had been tricked. There were at least three to four dark lords fighting side by side in front of him, and they were cooperating seamlessly. At this time, even though he was
No matter how stupid he was, he realized that Silman's passage, which seemed more difficult to attack, was exactly the direction of Madara's main attack. After realizing this, he immediately thought: What should we do now? How can we solve the current battle? What else can we do?
Can't solve it?
The only thing he was thankful for was that he was commanding cavalry. Compared with Madala's regular skeleton warriors, the cavalry at least had advantages in mobility and impact. Although Madala also had black knights, the number was too large.
Without it, it would not play a decisive role in this battle. The deputy commander quickly calmed down. Madara's surprise attack came too suddenly. These damn skeletons suddenly appeared from the ground, appearing almost instantly.
In front of them, there was no time to react, and the cavalry of a large group outside him was finished. Although those cavalry were not all annihilated from the beginning, they were scattered and dragged on the position, and they were almost unorganized among themselves.
If they are not connected from head to tail, they will soon lose the will to fight. Walter is very familiar with his men, so he does not expect any miracles to happen, but he still has two brigades.
This is enough.
"Commander!" He finally made up his mind and shouted.
Order after order was conveyed in chaos, and when the remaining two cavalry brigades in the Silman Valley were gathering to attack the left flank of the skeleton archer, just as Walter expected, the White Wings Cavalry Regiment
One group was completely in chaos. The knight commander of the first group, the golden middle knight Galin, was unlucky to be shot in the eye socket in the first wave of arrows and died on the spot. After that, the skeleton army suddenly crawled out from the ground.
When he appeared in front of them, he directly dragged the 1st Cavalry Brigade, which was in chaos, into the chaos. The battle lasted only half an hour, and the 4th Squadron was completely wiped out. The knight captain of the 7th Squadron, Gage, was killed.
Opam, the knight captain of the Eighth Squadron, was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The remaining supreme commander fell to Portland, the deputy captain of the Eighth Squadron. However, this man always had no idea and simply led the army to retreat to Owl Town, so Madara
The front of the army was completely blocked.
The remaining two cavalry brigades were immediately exposed to the attack—
When Walter saw such a scene on the high ground, he was so angry that he almost wanted to curse. He had dragged Opam out and chopped him down many times in his heart, but unfortunately his anger was of no use at the moment. It was too late to take back the order at this moment, and he could only count on it.
Madara's reaction was not that fast, and she could not turn around on the battlefield in such a short period of time. Or maybe her subordinates were better and could withstand one or two waves of attacks. As long as they entered the position of the skeleton archers, then the next step would be
It's easy to handle. They are cavalry, and the opponent is just infantry.
If this was during the Black Rose War, maybe the White Wings Cavalry would have collapsed, but fortunately it has been a year since that war. This year is left for everyone who has experienced that terrible war to lick their wounds.
.Those terrible undead are now reduced to ugly skeletons in the hearts of the veterans, and are no longer synonymous with death. In addition to being dull and fearless, they are even worse than ordinary human soldiers, without the fear from the source.
, that Black Rose of Bromando is just a slightly special opponent.
Walter thought of this and pursed his lips, "Bless Martha, it's not just Madara who has changed with time." He thought silently in his heart.
This is indeed the case.
Groups of lighting magic exploded on the battlefield, illuminating hundreds of thousands of advancing cavalry and the last distance between them and Madara's skeleton army. Among the slowly advancing cavalry, the magician
One by one, they are flying up from behind the knights, leaving their horses and floating in mid-air. Although their spells will expose the white-winged cavalry to the range of the skeleton archers, the cavalry are preparing for the final accelerated sprint. In
It is almost impossible to carry out such tactics in dark conditions. Although there are legends that some cavalry may be able to do it, the commanders of the White Wings Cavalry Regiment thought that their subordinates were capable of this.
Vance, the knight commander of the 2nd Cavalry Brigade, felt that one good young man on horseback was passing him one after another. In fact, the entire 2nd Cavalry Brigade was in a state of acceleration. The distance was less than a hundred meters. It was the first cavalry brigade.
The cavalry commanded by Valerie was further ahead than them. Their mission was to open a passage in the sea of skeletons so that they could pass through and kill the corpse witches behind them who were driving away the skeletons. He suddenly felt a lightness on his body.
——This is a sign that wind spells are working on him and his horse. Thanks to all kinds of strange magic, their cavalry can charge in such rugged terrain at night, and these tactics are all
It was summed up in the War of the Black Rose.
Before that, the kingdom's army had been following the experience gained from the first holy war. It was old-fashioned and rigid, and was actually not suitable for wars between people.
The war is fair to both sides. The Madara in front of him may be more powerful than before, but they are not static. "We'll see, damn skeleton!" He waved his sword excitedly, and the cavalry
Tactics is the greatest invention in the history of civilization. When you personally participate in it, there are galloping horses and armor-clad knights on the left and right, holding swords in both hands. All of these move forward to form an irresistible torrent of steel.
, every participant seems to be personally controlling this extraordinary power, and the feeling is absolutely addictive.
For Vance, there is no difference.
The rain of arrows began to rain, and they landed on the armor with little impact. The cavalry horses were not close relatives of the pack horses, and the tamed monsters were closer to the close relatives of the unicorns in terms of blood, but they did not have them.
Those relatives in the forest are so powerful, but they are far superior to ordinary beasts. Therefore, the impact of the arrows is reduced by the thick armor and then transmitted to them, causing minimal impact.
The knights at the front had already begun to make strange noises.
At this distance, we have to prepare for the spells, the corpse witch's spells. But the magicians behind are also ready to take action. This is the last level. Once it is broken through, there will be an army of skeletons without resistance in front of them. In the black
During the War of the Roses, few armies dared to attack the sea-like army of skeletons head-on. But today is different from the past. The mysterious cloak covering this army has long since faded due to the accumulation of time after the war, especially after participating in
For the veterans of the first war, there are only skeletons in front of them. Old and new hatreds are right in front of them. They are holding their breath to teach each other a lesson. The junior officers are also shouting to encourage the new recruits.
Everyone knows one thing very well, they are a cavalry force, and the opponent is just infantry. No matter whether the attack fails or not, the infantry cannot pursue the cavalry.
The only thing you need to worry about is not to be held back.
And there’s the Black Knight——
But fortunately, the skeleton army was very scattered, and the opponent's commander seemed inexperienced. And Vance didn't see the shadow of the Black Knights. The Black Knights and their nightmare horses were very conspicuous in such an environment, and they didn't care.
They would be hidden somewhere. The entire valley was open and the nearest hills were a thousand meters away. There was no need to worry about them suddenly appearing. Vance looked around and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The only thing that confused him was.
The expected spell strike did not arrive.
"What are the commanders of Madara doing?" He was a little confused and couldn't help but raise his head and look in Valerie's direction: "They have almost missed their last chance..."
