In the forest at dusk, people stood up and their horses neighed, and the roars of the dragons resounded through the forest. It was like a huge monster clashing in the forest. It made people feel uneasy when they heard it, and the White Legion was among them.
The Earthly Dragon Knights felt as if arrows were flying towards them from all directions, and no one knew how many men and horses were ambushing them in the dark, so they had to choose to retreat temporarily.
The setting sun crossed the long and long ridges and swayed into the valley. The sky and the earth were filled with orange-red color. Juta's long flame-like hair looked extremely dazzling in the setting sun. After she opened the long crossbow and shot several arrows in succession, she saw
The pioneer knight of the Cruz people began to retreat and immediately ordered the young wizard beside him: "Quick, act according to the plan!"
"Captain, you have to give me a break." Crewe was so tired that the sweat on his forehead was like a waterfall. He couldn't help complaining loudly: "Do you think this kind of large-scale illusion can be used just as it says, let alone two people?"
indivual."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is an order. If you can't do it, I will chop off your head with a sword."
Crewe couldn't help but curse in his heart, completely ignoring that the maker of this plan was Mel, whom he had praised before. However, despite the curse, he still recited the incantation as quickly as possible - he put the staff in his hand
As soon as he raised his head, a hazy army suddenly appeared under his command, just like mountain mist gathering out of thin air. In the mist, people reared their horses and neighed, outlining the outline of a cavalry ready to go. Crewe shivered and maintained
The staff in his hand was sweating like rain, and the army also passed through the forest parallel to the retreating Cruz knights, killing towards the flanks of their large group of troops.
The hesitation distance was at least two to three hundred meters away. Through the thick woods and dim light, the panicked Knight Cruz didn't have much time to confirm the authenticity of this cavalry. When they saw this cavalry heading towards them
When they were outflanking one side, they couldn't help but be scared out of their wits. There was obviously a large army ambushing in front. If this cavalry were to outflank them and cut off their way back, wouldn't they all have to explain here? Don't look at what they were escorting.
Thousands of skeletons actually have little combat effectiveness. Unless the number is really in the tens of thousands, Madara always puts tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers on the frontal battlefield in order to avoid being noticed. They escort
It's just a group of this skeleton army. If the tens of thousands of skeletons were here, it would be almost the same.
Without thinking, the leading knight immediately shouted a warning to the other side of the forest. At the same time, he took out a signal bomb from the bag under the saddle. He activated the magic runes in it with a raise of his hand, and shot a dazzling signal into the air with a bang.
A dazzling signal flare is coming.
The red and dazzling light slowly rose over the valley, like a bouquet of fireworks, blooming in mid-air——
Sir Marjorie raised his head, and the eye-catching light was reflected in his eyes. Dozens of knights around him also made the same move. Everyone was looking up at the sky, but the horse
Ruoli reacted in just a moment. He immediately turned around, waved his hand and shouted angrily: "There is an ambush, back to back, formation, Argent, Pierre, let those skeletons move to guard against the cavalry attack!"
It has to be said that as the frontline legion of the Cruz Empire, the performance of the knights of the White Legion was perfect. They did not panic at all, and seemed to take action in an instant to form a circular formation. The huge earth-moving dragons were
Under the tameness of these excellent riders, they lowered their bodies one by one so that they could level their spears. With a soft sound, a forest of spears stood up.
The named knights came out one by one and began to form a team for the skeletons. In fact, they did not need to do anything. The undead had no morale and would not panic due to the surprise attack. Under the orders of the controller, they
The marching formation soon became tighter, with rows of troops gathering together to guard against possible cavalry attacks. The knights in charge of the whole team found that their only role seemed to be to be a good flag bearer, and to serve as a flag bearer for each skeleton column.
Just mark the location on the battlefield.
Within ten minutes, a completely orderly and rigorous array appeared in the forest——
Seeing this scene happening from a distance, several young people from Eruin had obvious expressions of surprise on their faces, even the proposer of the plan, Mel himself, was no exception - you know, in a war
Formulating a combat plan is only one aspect, but whether the script goes as planned is another aspect. This is related to many factors, and it is not just genius that can solve the problem. For example, some commanders are cautious, while some commanders are cautious.
Reckless, in a situation where neither the enemy nor we are known, many ever-changing situations on the battlefield can only be left to Lady Martha to decide.
At this time, the young knights on Eruin's side couldn't help shouting in their hearts: Martha bless you!
"Don't relax, this won't take too long." Yuta is a mercenary captain after all. At this time, he did not forget to pour cold water on these forgetful young people: "If you say no later, you will have to fight in a bloody battle. If you can
How long this Cruz army can hold off depends on your ability."
But several young people were obviously a little excited, thinking that the Cruz people were nothing more than that, and did not take much of what she said. Yuta knew what they were thinking, and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, she was not optimistic about the subsequent battle. The Cruz people
The performance was better than she expected. The combat quality displayed by these foreign knights is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary armies. Even the White Lion Guards under the lord she saw in Tonigel may not be stronger than this, and even worse.
Slightly inferior.
Cruz is Cruz, the spirit of the empire cannot be compared to a small country like Eruin.
But she also knew that she couldn't give any more words of advice at this time, the military morale was available, and she would not do anything to hurt morale, but she didn't know how long these young people could survive. She looked at Mel, the man from Wang Li
The young men at the Knight Academy also frowned slightly, but overall they were much less worried than she was.
At least the Cruz people are already on the move. Changing formations on the battlefield is not an easy task. Even if they find something wrong, it will take at least ten minutes to make a new decision, plus the time to readjust their formation. Drag them here.
One hour is more than enough, but that is not enough. You must use the terrain to fight with these knights as long as possible. Yuta glanced at the sunset. In his heart, he just hoped that the sun would go down earlier. After dusk, the Cruz people wanted to find out what was going on in the mountains and forests.
With so many people, it's not that easy.
In fact, the moment the vanguard knights of the White Legion rushed out of the forest, Maroli and the knights around him had already discovered the anomaly. Unlike those knights who fled back in desperation, they could judge the current situation more calmly.
Regarding the situation, what Marjorie was worried about was how many people were in front and which force they came from? Is it the army of Ludwig's nobles? Or the Black Legion? Or the army in Port Fatan? He was thinking about this issue.
Until the rumble of horse hooves sounded in the forest.
"The sound of horse hooves?" Sir Marjorie was slightly startled, thinking of light cavalry. This is not surprising at first. In this kind of terrain, light cavalry is easier to deploy than heavy cavalry. For example, his dragon knights
We can only defend passively, but the problem is - the sound of horse hooves is too dense.
For a knight like him who is experienced in the military, it is like instinct. He can judge the enemy's direction, approximate size, and even speed and other factors from the sound of footsteps and horse hooves, although there are not many factors.
Accurate, but there is generally no problem with the guess. The familiarity with war has long penetrated into the blood of these professional knights, and Maroli quickly realized the problem. Such a dense sound of horse hooves meant that there was at least one light cavalry in the forest.
Rush forward quickly in a tight formation.
This is so unreasonable.
At this time, the priest accompanying him also reminded him in time: "Mr. Knight, look at the cavalry in the forest." A priest who seemed to be no more than 20 years old pointed to the direction of the forest and said to him: "That cavalry.
The cavalry doesn't look real. It's most likely an illusion caused by a spell."
Marjorie was not familiar with magic, but this sentence was enough for him. He immediately realized that he had been fooled. "That cavalry is fake, be careful of the enemy's tricks!" he yelled angrily.
Before he finished speaking, the army that came through the fog suddenly dissipated, like a diffuse mist, dissipating invisible in the forest.
At this time, everyone realized that they had had a false alarm.
"Oops," next to Yuta and others, Crewe couldn't help but screamed, and shouted in shame and anger: "The spell has failed, someone has lifted my spell!"
He looked like he had just been fished out of the water. He was naked, but he was dripping with sweat. After casting these two spells, he was completely unable to move, and he was supporting the Silver Silver Tree beside him.
Breathing heavily.
"It doesn't matter, it's none of your business, Kru, you did a good job. They should have noticed that it was the priest who accompanied the army who took action." Yuta comforted him: "Then you hide aside and rest.
Restore your magic power and stay away from the battlefield, we will attract their attention."
Although Crewe was very weak, he couldn't help but jump up when he heard these words. Although he had been cursing before, he knew very well that the next battle was the most dangerous. If he wanted to hold back this Cruze cavalry,
, not only do you have to make the other party unclear about how many of them there are, but you also have to make the other party feel pain. This will definitely be a tough battle, and it may cost you blood and lives.
Anyone here could die here, and he was certainly no exception.
"I want to be with you, and you can't even think of leaving me behind." He retorted loudly.
"A wizard's first priority on the battlefield is to be wise and protect yourself." The beautiful female mercenary leader shook her head gracefully, her red hair like an unfolding flame, and she said to the young wizard with a smile.
"This..." Crewe suddenly found that almost all his companions were on the side of his captain, and couldn't help but stare: "You..."
But before he could finish his words, he felt someone hit him hard behind him, his vision went dark, and he fell down immediately.
Mel reached out to catch him, then raised his head and gave Juta a wink.
"We have to have someone send a message to the lord. This task will be given to him. You go and place him and make a magic mark on the tree——"
Mel nodded, turned around and disappeared in front of everyone.
After he left, Jutta drew his sword, turned around and said calmly to the young knights in front of him: "Don't look at me with such a tragic expression. We are not going to die. What are you afraid of? What are you looking forward to?
What? Before this day, did you ever think that you would be galloping on the land of the Cruz Empire and fight against the world's number one opponent like the White Army? Some of you may sleep here forever, but no one dares to laugh at you for this.
You, because your opponents are so powerful and respectable, but once you succeed, our names will be heard throughout the land of Warnd after today."
The young man's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly. The burning flame was a gambler's determination and endless desire and pursuit of victory.
"Remember your names, we are the White Lion Guard. It was the lord who gave this name to you. He has never failed, and so have you." The sword in the hand of the female mercenary captain made a flash in the sunset.
The bright arc points forward, like a straight belief, indestructible and shining: "Follow me and let this lion show its claws."
The young knights responded loudly and shouted in unison: "Fight for Eruin, the glory is on me, and the glory is my sword!"
Under the setting sun, the mountains seem to have slept forever.
Sir Marjorie made his own judgment immediately.
The number of enemies will not be too large, otherwise there is no need to make such a mystery. The opponent's purpose is obviously to try to keep themselves here. This is not an ambush, but an interception. But the question is how many people are involved in the interception. If there are not too many, then
He could choose to force a breakout, but if there were too many, he might get a bloody head-on collision.
He immediately fell into hesitation.
The empty valley lay open in front of the Cruz people, like a gaping mouth, behind which was full of unknowns and uneasiness.
"Sir Knight, it's time for you to make a decision." After the crowd separated, a middle-aged man in a robe came out from behind and said to Marjorie: "The people in front are obviously stalling for time. They may be
Waiting for reinforcements, we can't stay here for too long."
Sir Marjorie looked back at this man. This man was as pale as a vampire and so thin that he could be blown over by a gust of wind. Sir Marjorie looked back at him and glanced at a dark crystal in this man's hand.
Ring couldn't help but nodded: "Don't worry, Master An Xili, we will definitely send you to Wallach safely."
The man smiled contemptuously: "You don't need to call me a master. I know who I am. I'm not urging you, but I just want to remind you that we don't know where the people in front of us come from yet."
Which force, under such circumstances, had better make a quick decision to avoid long nights and dreams."
Sir Marjorie nodded slowly, then looked at his knights.
"Let's make a tentative attack——"
"etc."
"What's wrong?" Sir Marjorie asked with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"It's better to let my skeletons do it. It's not cost-effective to waste the noble knights of the empire on testing, and my men were originally used for this, so they deserved their death." The man rubbed his ring and replied slowly.
.
Ma Ruoli was very angry that this man compared human life with cost-effectiveness, but she also knew that he had good intentions, so the look on his face relaxed slightly, and he nodded.
