"What is the commander of Madara doing?" Valerie, the knight commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, was indeed thinking about this problem as well. She raised her head, and the radiance of magic illuminated the transparent battlefield. On the other side, the skeleton army was doing something.
A strange move. This army is slowly turning, but the movement is so slow, delaying like a dying old man. It is almost impossible to turn the front back to them and launch an attack before the cavalry arrow arrives. Madala's
The left wing was still exposed to the direct threat of the two Eruin cavalry brigades, and she could even tell that even if her attack passed between them, they would not have time to turn around and surround them.
This is an excellent opportunity.
But Valerie saw that the skeleton army was dispersing, as if they were deliberately making a way for her. If this scene happened to the human army, then according to the description in the cavalry drill, the opponent must have collapsed, and the remaining
Just drive them forward like ducks. But the female knight captain felt a strong sense of vigilance in her heart, because in front of her was an undead army, and it was impossible for the undead to have their morale collapse unless they were
What happened to the corpse witches who drove away these skeletons from behind?
Could someone be attacking this Madala army from behind? This lucky thought just flashed through her mind, but the sudden appearance of things in her field of vision immediately made her heart sink.
She saw that behind the opening, some tall figures suddenly appeared. They were not bulky corpse monsters and Crusader executioners, nor were they black knights with a ball of soul fire burning under their armor. They were some
The weird rider looks like a skeleton on horseback, covered in dark chain mail. Leaning on a long spear, the horse under him is also skinny, and the whole is shrouded in a tattered vest. Such a rider
A few appeared at first, but as the gap became larger and larger, their number gradually became terrifying.
Valerie's eyes widened in surprise. She saw a whole cavalry appearing behind those densely packed skeleton archers. It was definitely not a black knight, because there couldn't be so many black knights. Those skeleton riders were standing next to each other, facing each other.
It was almost a mile wide and dark, like a city wall. "Slow down and turn!" Valerie felt as if a sharp thorn had been pierced into her heart, and she suddenly understood what it was. Skeleton Knight,
On Madara's side, new troops appeared that they had never seen before.
A sharp whistle suddenly sounded on the other side of the battlefield. Valerie glanced over there and knew that Vance had also seen those weird riders. They reacted quickly. Although they didn't understand the strength of the other side, there was one thing.
To be sure, there are more opponents than you. And much more. If the speed of those skeleton riders can keep up with them, even if their combat effectiveness is extremely weak, it will also be a disaster for the White Wings Cavalry Regiment.
Because although they are sharp, they are also fragile. Once they are dragged down and an army of tens of thousands of skeletons surrounds them, there is only one end.
That is defeat, and then being transformed into the same kind as those monsters.
After the Golan-Elsen passage lost their cavalry, there was no defensive force from the Silman Valley to Kurk. It is equivalent to saying that the entire Golan-Elsen was opened for Madara.
At the gate, Valerie was covered in cold sweat, and she could hardly imagine what the result would be. It would be almost a replica of the Black Rose War, and it might even be worse. Because the Southern Army is still in Ampelsel, if Golan-Egypt
Ersen failed, and Karasu was the only one left in the entire southern border.
The White Wings Cavalry were obviously aware of their situation. These experienced riders turned one after another. The two cavalry turned very fast on the battlefield, but in Valerie's opinion, it was a little worryingly slow. She saw
The skeleton riders were trotting and starting to accelerate, and the entire army was as uniform as a huge machine. At this time, the female knight leader finally realized how terrifying this cavalry was, and then she thought of another bad news.
, that is, this cavalry may be the same as the black knight, and does not have the concern of the endurance of the war horse.
Her heart suddenly became cold.
At this time, she could only place her hope on the command of Deputy Commander Walter. But what made her very uneasy was why the commander had not yet given the order to retreat. Could it be that he planned to bury the entire White Wings Cavalry?
Here, just to prove how terrifying this Madala army is. Valerie turned back anxiously and looked towards the hills to the north, hoping to wait for the expected signal, but unfortunately, the north was silent.
At this moment, a scream suddenly passed over the entire battlefield, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads. In their field of vision, they saw strange flying creatures passing above their heads.
…
The town has been plunged into a sea of flames. Looking around, there are blazing blue flames everywhere. In addition to this, the White Wings Cavalry Regiment or the temporary defense line of the security team has been destroyed on the street. There are corpses everywhere.
, wearing militia uniforms, white-winged cavalry uniforms, or police uniforms like him, but the only thing they have in common is that they are covered in blood and have lost their breath. Ivan's eyes only stared at these corpses for a short moment.
After staying, he slowly crossed these areas. A small group of other members of the security team were following behind him. He had just learned that their instructor had died at the hands of the monster that first flew to the church steeple - and
I also know the name of that thing: Dread Spirit. But there is even worse news. It is said that Butcher's 1st Cavalry Brigade has been completely dispersed in street fighting, and Commander Portland has also been killed. Now the 1st Cavalry
The brigade has ceased to exist in name only, and the remaining people are just like those who followed them. They have no will to fight, and the only thought left is to survive.
It was as if a moment ago they were full of enthusiasm and wanted to fight for Eruin, but the ideal was beautiful, but the reality was too cruel to accept, and each of them was taught a cold lesson almost immediately.
The only thing that gave Ivan some comfort was that Loni's carriage had left the town before the battle started. It was said that the White Wing Cavalry was fighting outside the town, so she and the rest of the family should be able to reach Svenfano safely.
But what will happen after that? Even he himself doesn't know. There are so many skeletons in Madara, and the town is almost full of monsters. Now the young man is very doubtful whether they can survive.
The group of people walked along the unfamiliar town like beggars on the run, and they were stopped before they had gone very far. A fierce battle was taking place on the only street leading out of the town, and Ivan quickly
It was clear that the two warring parties should be Madara's skeleton and the town's militia. It was basically a one-sided massacre. When they arrived, there was no one alive on the scene. The corpse witch was killing the fresh corpses.
Aroused, the soldiers who were fighting for Eruin one moment were staggering and drawing swords and slashing at them covered in blood.
"It's Laura and the others, they're all dead." A member of the security team said with an ugly look on his face.
Ivan's face also changed. These militiamen were all townspeople who usually kept their heads down but now turned into something else. He couldn't help but glance at the sneaky corpse witch at the other end of the street.
, gritted his teeth.
"What bad luck, there's a corpse witch!" Vice-captain Ma Dong spat. He pulled out his sword and said, "We have to find a way to kill it before we can move forward. You find a way to attract the attention of those monsters. I'll kill that guy.
The corpse witch's power lies in its cane. As long as I chop off its arm by surprise, this battle should be easy to fight."
Ivan glanced at him and felt that he was not so optimistic. "Be careful." He reminded: "Pay attention here. There were at least three to four teams of militiamen before. This is the only way to the outside of the town. They are
Responsible for the aftermath."
"so what?"
"The instructor told us that a corpse witch can lead ten to twelve skeletons. It cannot kill so many people."
"That's not necessarily the case," Ma Dong shook his head: "These militiamen have little combat effectiveness in this situation. They are no better than us and are not professional soldiers."
Seeing that he couldn't listen, Ai Fan had no choice but to shut up. He turned around and gestured to the others, indicating that they would attack with him so as to attract the fighting power of the corpse witch. The distance between the two parties was only fifty meters, and he was actually not
Don't worry too much about the frontal battle, because they have more people, and the corpse witch can only summon two or three corpses in a short time. Ma Dong is right, in this case, the militia has to fight several people.
At a discount, sometimes they could even be killed by a few skeletons, because they were already scared out of their wits. But the skeleton archers hidden in the burning buildings caused them huge trouble, and nearly half of their casualties were
They all happened to these two skeleton archers. Fortunately, although the battle did not go smoothly, at least the corpse witch's men still fell to their hands one by one. At this time, Ma Dong finally seized the opportunity, and he
The man quietly walked through the shadows under the building on the other side and approached the corpse witch without anyone noticing. However, just when he drew his sword and prepared to strike the final blow, something unexpected happened.
"Ma Dong, be careful!" Ivan suddenly shouted. He had never been worried about Ma Dong's plan, so he always paid attention to that direction. But just when he saw Ma Dong preparing to take action, a black shadow suddenly appeared.
Falling from the sky.
This scene is too familiar, this is how their instructor died.
Ma Dong reacted at the last moment, but the deputy captain of the security team had no time to make any move. There was a loud crash and a huge creature fell from the sky with countless tiles and fell on him, grabbing his arm.
Shoulders, the sharp claws pierced directly between his collarbone and shoulder armor, lifting him up from the ground. Ma Dong let out a painful scream, and only then did others see the appearance of the monster clearly - it looked
It's a bit like a shrunken bone dragon. Its body consists of only bones without skin. Two balls of soul fire are burning in a pair of eye sockets on its huge head, like two beams of light. It has sharp teeth.
, the only difference from the Bone Dragon is that it has an obvious and sharp beak at the front of its mouth, "Fear the Spirit!" Someone screamed and recognized the identity of the monster, but this sentence could not save Ma Dong, Fear the Spirit
He pecked his head down and bit the vice-captain's head into pieces. He twitched and his whole body collapsed like a deflated rubber ball.
The fearful spirit pecked Ma Dong to death, immediately threw the body away, then raised his head to look at the others, and let out a terrible scream at them. Ivan only felt a coldness in his body, and his mind seemed to be blank, but the people around him
Others obviously reacted faster. A member of the security team let out a scream, turned around and ran, but before he could run a few steps, a ball of green light hit his back, and his whole body suddenly swelled up and exploded into pieces.
Blood mist.
This scene woke everyone up, and there was also a corpse witch present.
And it cannot be underestimated at all.
Ivan watched helplessly as the monster raised the skeletal staff towards him. He wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't move his body even one step.
"Loni——!"
…
Shanali silently closed her eyes for Rosa. The last moment the female knight was alive, she stared straight at the sky with nothing in her eyes. The corpse witch opened a big hole in her chest, and the original appearance could no longer be seen inside.
Only a bloody mess was left. Without saying a word, he took off his military uniform and covered her with it. They had known each other for a long time, experienced the Black Rose War together, and even participated in several countless battles. They were also among the most numerous in the cavalry regiment.
A veteran, he also held the rank of non-commissioned officer. He originally thought that this was just a small border conflict, but he didn't expect that he would end up dying here.
Although he has experienced many such separations and separations over the past year, he still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart at this moment.
There are some new units in the skeleton on the opposite side, such as the Dread Spirit. This kind of thing has only appeared on the battlefield of Karasu before. Why did it suddenly appear in the army of the dark lord south of Butchi? The number of corpse witches is also rare.
Rosa would not have died if she hadn't misjudged that there was another corpse witch behind the corpse witch and the fear spirit. Shanali just wanted to curse at this moment, what on earth were those damn scouts doing.
He looked at Rosa's face, studied it carefully for a while, and then slowly walked through this section of the street. The streets were full of mutilated bodies, and some were well preserved. However, they all had one or two arrows stuck in their bodies. But
He suddenly stopped and saw a familiar face in the pile of corpses. It was one of the young lovers he had seen before. "Poor guy." He thought to himself, but walked over anyway. "That's right.
If you are destined, at least I will let you die with dignity." He thought so and wanted to drag the other party's body from the ruins.
But as soon as he held the other person's hand, he was startled - there was a temperature and a pulse. "This guy is not dead yet." He suddenly reacted, hurriedly pulled the boy down with more force, and then patted him hard.
Patted him on the face.
When Ivan woke up, he first saw Shanali's blood-stained face. He remembered that he had actually seen this person before, standing with a female knight at the door of the city hall, looking arrogant. "
I didn't expect you to be dead too..." He replied in a daze. "You're dead, idiot!" Shanali slapped him, "Get out of here, I'll count your luck, you still want to see your little girlfriend.
, just cheer me up."
"I'm not dead?" Ivan seemed to wake up from a sudden shock: "Really?" After saying this, tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Shanali looked at this worthless boy lying there with tears streaming down his face. He couldn't help but want to kick him, but after hesitating for a long time, he sighed and just looked back at Rosa. "Okay, man.
Man, show some courage." He stretched out his hand and grabbed the other person: "There is no one alive in the town now. You still know the way? Take us out of this ghost place."
Ivan looked at him blankly and nodded quickly.
…
Valerie understood that the White Wings Cavalry Regiment was completely destroyed. But she still didn't understand why the deputy commander didn't react at all until the end, unless he had already escaped, but that was almost impossible. She watched helplessly
Watching the skeleton knight pierce the spear in his hand into her chest, all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away. She raised her head with difficulty and looked around. The skeleton knight's corpses were piled up in layers around her.
But unfortunately, this is meaningless, "I'm going to become one of them." She thought to herself.
Vance is dead, Valerie is dead, and the remaining White Winged Cavalry are disintegrating, but countless fearful spirits are killing their hope of escape in the sky. Such a terrifying picture is formed on the entire battlefield at this moment, with dots of stars all over the mountains and plains.
The light of the soul fire is advancing, and the skeleton army is driving the remaining humans to run away, but they will eventually be caught up, because whether it is a war horse or a human, it will never be possible in a competition of endurance.
It is the opponent of the undead.
Ivan looked at this scene blankly.
He originally thought that the catastrophe in the town was just a part of the war. But now it seems that there is no war anymore, only massacres are left. Shanali also looked gloomy, the White Wings Cavalry Regiment was over, and he was more serious than Ivan.
He knew this, but he didn't understand why the battle was like this. At least the second and third cavalry brigade should be able to escape, right? Even in the worst case scenario, if the third or second cavalry brigade is left behind, at least
He could also escape a cavalry brigade, but now it was all over. He could almost imagine that what was left in front of Madala's army was the smooth Golan-Elsen passage, and the southern border was all over.
And even the two of them may not be able to escape from the undead that fill the mountains and plains.
"We...what should we do?" Ivan looked at the gentleman knight and couldn't help but ask in a low voice. The horse he sat on belonged to Rosa. He was not used to riding horses, but the current situation had no choice but for him to get used to it.
Fortunately, I learned equestrian skills when I was in the police force, otherwise I would have to be tied to a horse now.
"Go east." Shanali replied gloomily: "The hills to the east are our only chance. There are still some bandits and robbers there. I hope they will take us in."
Bandits and robbers.
Ivan subconsciously glanced in that direction. He remembered that there seemed to be such a group of people, but they were the main trouble for the militia and patrol cavalry and had little to do with the guard. "They seem to be from Tosankad.
Are they real desperadoes? Will they take us in?" He couldn't help but ask. "Robbers or undead, you choose one." "Robbers." The young man replied without hesitation.
