Act 179: Battle of the White Lions II

Some things are easier said than done, which is why there are so many empty talkers in the world.

On the battlefield, people fight face to face, and people warn themselves in their hearts that as long as they overcome their timidity towards death, they can easily face their fear. However, when the blade is approaching, people can often understand the god of death from the indifferent eyes of the enemy.

Lightness of step.

Your head fell to the ground, the world turned upside down in your eyes, and finally fell into dust. The battlefield was filled with darkness and decay. The symbols that represented your existence, your name, status, beliefs and family, were all reduced to dust under this sword.

There is nothingness, and there is no beginning or end after this. No one knows the world after death, because it probably does not exist.

The mountains, rivers, forests and plains are still the same color, the sun, moon and stars still run side by side. The place where you left the world is full of white flowers and greenery, but you can no longer feel it all.

Before a disaster strikes, fear will penetrate deep into the bones, and then it will chill the heart.

Although Yuta is not a young child who has just entered the battlefield,

Even though the wars between nobles and nobles in the south of Eruin are full of petty fights, as a mercenary, she has experienced life and death several times. When a person has experienced death once and bathed in the salty blood on the battlefield,

, a complete transformation will occur. Some veterans who have walked off the battlefield privately believe that it is because those who have experienced all this have released the beast in their hearts.

Yuta Bu [Chang] [Feng knew what the beast in her heart was like. At this moment, she only felt unprecedented solemnity. This solemnity was the same as when she was alone and weak, holding a long sword, and faced the beast that haunted the Chabonne Mountains many years ago.

It was exactly the same as when she was a robber. The cold wind dried the sweat on her forehead and stuck the fiery red hair to both sides of her forehead, but she didn't notice it. Her fingers were clasped tightly around the sword. This sword was given to her by the young lord.

The red crystal on the counterweight exudes a deep light in the night.

The tension in her heart comes from a heavy sense of responsibility, which comes from controlling the fate of others. She is afraid that her decision-making will send these outstanding young people to a dead end. Although they have already put their life and death at risk, who can

Does it really make sense to promise to do this? And can she be worthy of the trusting eyes they look at her?

Although Juta has long been the leader, he cannot answer these two questions.

She didn't know that she was already standing at a crossroads. Countless people had stood here. At this crossroads, human nature must overcome cowardice. Some people chose to give in, but more people suffered bruises and bloodshed.

Become indifferent, ruthless, ignorant, arrogant and crazy. Only a few people can truly see their own hearts, take that crucial step, and become the best commanders.

This is a choice on the battlefield. On this square chessboard, the chess pieces have the courage of the chess pieces, and the chess players must also have the courage of the chess players.

The mountain wind passed through the forest tops, making a soft rustling sound, as if it was a contemptuous mockery of the meaningless fighting in this world. The gods had already left, but only their children were left to hurt each other.

Skeleton fragments scattered on the battlefield. White bones were buried among the rocks. Several dark steel swords were stuck in the soft soil. If it weren't for the black rose battle flag fluttering in the evening wind, especially

Tower almost thought that this was Golan Elson's battlefield. There was no doubt that a battle had just occurred here, and the intruders were skeletons controlled by the Cruz people. She ordered Mel to crush these mercilessly.

The enemy, compared with the Madara army in the Silman Valley, these undead are not worth mentioning at all.

The battle ended quickly, and the necromancers were unable to use the sight of the skeletons for detection. Moreover, they had no line of sight to speak of, so they were probably not exposed yet, but this was nothing to be thankful for. Because the real challenge was still there.

Later, everyone knew this in their hearts.

"This is a tentative attack, and the knights of the White Legion are likely to follow."

Juta agreed with this view and nodded slightly.

Sure enough, three ghost-like white earth dragons and the White Legion knights riding on them emerged from the forest. These people were obviously the vanguard of the knights. The Cruz people did not know what was behind this silver tree forest.

There were so many enemies ambush, so they were also deploying their actions carefully. Finding that the Cruz people were more cautious than expected, Yuta's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his sword and shouted:

"rush"

She knew that she couldn't give the other party too much time to avoid them figuring out her side's truth and reality. There was no room for regret at this moment. Even if it was a mistake, she would stick to it.

The short-byte command contained a special power. The young knights from Eruin were like a bolt of lightning, launching a strong attack. The wind in the mountain pass was always extremely cold, with random grass swaying between the rocks and gravel blowing in the direction of the wind.

Then, facing all this, the Cruz people looked shocked. The heavy cavalry always had an overwhelming advantage when facing the light cavalry. In their opinion, these people rushing towards them were really crazy.

But they are professional soldiers after all. They reacted after just a moment of shock. They set up their spears and prepared to fight. This series of actions on the ground dragon was almost an instinctive reaction. Originally, these knights should have come to conduct fire reconnaissance.

If the vanguard discovers an ambush by the opponent in any direction, they should immediately withdraw and alert the main force behind them. However, they find that there are not many enemies and they are probably the opponent's scouts, so their first reaction is to meet the enemy.

This series of judgments caused them to miss the best opportunity to distinguish between facts and truth.

Although they don't think they will lose.

Jutta maintained the leading position in the charge. She could already feel the pressure brought by the huge body of the ground dragon in front of her. Especially when the distance between the two became closer and closer, she could even see each other clearly.

The huge, gleaming gray-brown eyes, with vertical ridged pupils that resemble cold-blooded animals. There is a knight sitting astride the Earth Dragon's high and smooth back. I can't see the Cruz man's face clearly, but he is familiar with it.

Fang Zheng raised the three-meter-long dragon spear and stabbed her.

Juta's emerald-like eyes shrank deeply into a single point, and the glistening light reflected the head of the spear coming towards him. The head of the spear hit the horse's neck heavily, making a series of crisp sounds of broken bones, but in the

Before that, Juta had instinctively jumped up from the saddle, and the horse fell under her feet and rolled down the mountain stream with a whine.

She passed by the Earthly Dragon, and with a backhand, she firmly grasped the metal buckle on the opponent's saddle in mid-air. The Cruz knight was slightly surprised, but not too shocked, and he backhand

He drew out the cavalry heavy sword of the White Legion. It was more than an cubit and a half long, with a short blade and a thick edge. The blade was weighted, so it was swung with great force, like a black cold moon, striking at Yuta.

.

Most people can't change direction in the air, but this is obviously an exception.

A red long sword suddenly appeared in Juta's hand, "flame!" she yelled angrily, and a dazzling flame burst out from the tip of the long sword she was holding tightly. The knight had no time to react, and was swept away by the flames.

"Ah!" The knight let out a shrill scream, and the heavy sword in his hand flew out and flew towards Yuta.

Yuta ducked sideways, and the sword flew past her cheek.

"Her weapon!" The knight's companion finally noticed the change in the battle situation here. He tightened the reins and tried to turn the behemoth he was sitting on, hoping to come to support his companion.

But how could Jutta give them this opportunity? "Mel, hold them back!" she shouted, and at the same time kicked the knight's chest, which was burned beyond recognition. Because the earth-moving dragon knight was fixed on the saddle with a belt,

He was sitting on the seat, so this kick only made the opponent's body stagger.

This is enough.

She had landed firmly on the back of the dragon. She reached out to grab the knight's helmet and forced him to raise his head back to expose his weakly protected neck. Then she slit the opponent's throat with a sword, spraying out steaming blood.

It splashed out and covered her buckled gloves and wrists. Yuta's face remained unchanged, she sheathed her sword and struck hard with her backhand, cutting off the straps that were holding the knight's thighs and calves in place, and threw them from the ground like trash.

Xinglong's back was lifted.

The remaining Cruz knights couldn't help but get angry when they saw this scene, and roared: "Damn it!"

They immediately abandoned Mel and others, turned their spearhead and attacked in this direction.

Of course, this decision was not driven only by anger, because Yuta, who had captured the Earthly Dragon, was now the biggest threat to them. The scout cavalry alone did not pose a threat to heavy knights like them, but they were also sitting on

The rider on the back of the earthly dragon is different. Moreover, this woman also shows first-class strength.

What's more, she also has a fantasy weapon in her hand.

In this level of battle, this weapon is the power that determines the outcome of the battle.



Sir Marjorie is waiting for the results of the battle from the front. He doesn't know how many enemies there should be behind the forest. Judging from the previous performance, there shouldn't be too many, but no one dares to guarantee that war is not gambling. Maybe this is just to confuse them.

What about means?

Therefore, he still carefully sent out a few vanguard groups, and asked the large troops to follow closely. The free time was just enough for the skeletons to reorganize the group. The false alarm just now was really a waste of time. He faintly felt that something was wrong.

I couldn't help but subconsciously look in the direction of the Wallachi mountains. In that direction, a huge fireball was gradually sliding under the horizon. On one side, the dark blue sky was up, and the moon Timis outlined a silvery white silhouette.

It's getting late.

He turned around anxiously. In front of him was a dark sea of ​​silver trees. It was actually not very thick. Fog had begun to form among the trees. The shadows were dim and silent. The only sounds that echoed in his ears were the rustling footsteps and the movement of the ground.

The dragon's heavy steps and silent darkness are more like a terrifying monster, waiting for its prey.

"Why hasn't anyone come back yet?" He finally couldn't help but ask. This kind of uneasy waiting in silence was really suffocating.

"All the skeletons sent out are dead." The middle-aged man dressed as a wizard said in a deeper voice: "But they were not destroyed quickly. The other party may really be short of manpower."

"But my people haven't come back yet." Sir Marjorie replied with a frown.

"They probably can't come back," the middle-aged man replied with a frown, "but we can't be dragged here by them." He glanced back: "My servants have been organized, it's time to give orders.

Yes, Commander."

Ma Ruoli looked at the shadowy forest again, and hesitated for a moment. He knew that what the other party said might be right. The other party dared to delay their pace here because of insufficient manpower, which meant that it was probably an army.

Elite soldiers, if this is the case, then the vanguard he sent out may really not come back.

But if he guessed wrong, then a wrong order would ruin the entire army. Maybe he would not regret his own death, but if the secret fell into the hands of the other party, he would shudder just thinking about it.

But he couldn't stand still, that uneasy feeling always lingered in his heart.

On the other side of the forest, the last earth dragon fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Next to the huge body of the earth dragon, Yuta was covered in blood. The two young men were also seriously injured. Only Mel's condition was

It's slightly better, but it's also a bit disappointing.

This battle did not last too long, but it was considered a long battle for Yuta and others. The strength of the knights of the White Legion was outstanding. Apart from Yuta, Mei was the most outstanding among the young people.

Er is far behind. If Yuta hadn't killed one of them first, and relied on the advantage of the weapon in his hand and the deterrent power of the explosive crystal, I am afraid that even if he finally captured this vanguard cavalry, he would have to pay a heavier price.

The cost and casualties are unavoidable, and it may not be possible to prevent the other party from reporting to the large forces.

Fortunately, everything is quite satisfactory. The Cruz army has been moving very slowly until now, which at least shows that everything they have done now is worthwhile.

But procrastination is not endless after all.

It seemed that the commander of the Cruz people had finally made up his mind. Mel narrowed his eyes and could already see the dense banners of the Cruz Knights behind the Shining Silver Forest starting to move forward slowly. Although the undead army behind them did not display any flags, they

Presumably he should follow closely behind, maybe even go ahead.

"They are coming." Mel replied somewhat dryly. Although he was determined to face death from the moment he became a knight, it was only at this moment that he realized that he might not be fully prepared.

It's not out of fear or cowardice, but out of unwillingness.

How could he die in such a place?

Jutta remained silent and just nodded quietly.
