Chapter 574: White Knight
Duke Leanne sat straight on his horse, his eyes piercing through the formation, watching the enemy who was getting closer and closer in his sight. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he was very sure of today's victory, when the big war was about to really break out, Duke Li'an couldn't help but look back. After all, for Duke Lean, his previous understanding of the Scarlet Knights was really too little and too little.
As the commander of the whole army on the side of the great prince at this moment, Duke Li'an did not choose a relatively safe position in the back, but was in the middle of the shield array and the archer phalanx at the forefront.
At this moment, the phalanx of archers was spreading out in an orderly manner behind Duke Lean, making way for a very wide road.
These archers are holding longbows, this longbow has a long range and great power, but there is also a disadvantage that it is easy to consume the physical strength of the archers, because they have only shot three waves of bows and arrows in just one minute, these archers have temporarily lost the ability to continue shooting, and must rest for a while.
With the retreat of the archers, the cavalry phalanx behind was revealed, which contained all the more than 7,000 knights of the Scarlet Knights, looking at the war horses like a tide and spears like a forest, the cavalry stood side by side with solemn faces, and a pair of bright red armor reflected bursts of blood red under the light of the fire, which looked like a quiet sea of guns and blood, which was extremely shocking.
At this moment, these elite knights of the empire waited quietly, like a blood-colored beast waiting for the master's order, baring its fangs when the time came, tearing the enemy to pieces!
The Duke was finally reassured by this magnificent military appearance, so he turned his head and continued to look at the enemy in front of him.
The Silver Wing Knights who rushed to the front were less than a hundred paces away from the shield array on the front line of the Blood Knights, and Duke Lean could even see the existence of the other party through the light of the torches in his own position, and saw the knight in silver armor and silver armor, as well as the extremely few white knights in the middle of the silver knights.
White Knight? When did the Silver Wing Knights have such a white knight unit? Duke Leanne was immediately alert.
What made the Duke even more strange was that these white knights looked like there were only about twenty or thirty people, and they didn't have any armor on their bodies, even now that the Silverwing Knights were separated from the Chinese army alone, they were actually not conspicuous among the hundreds of vanguards, and if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't even be able to detect their existence.
Moreover, these white knights did not gather together, but completely dispersed and disappeared among the Silver Wing Knights, and only one white knight could be seen every five or six Silver Wing Knights.
With his years of experience in battle, Duke Leanne immediately smelled of conspiracy.
"Where is the archer?" Duke Lian raised his hand and shouted, "Shoot down those white knights!" ”
Behind Duke Lean, forty archers drew their bowstrings at the same time.
Different from ordinary archers, these forty archers are the top archery in the Scarlet Knights, not only can they all pull out super strong bows that ordinary archers can't pull at all, but also the accuracy of archery is far better than that of ordinary archers, and it is not an exaggeration to praise them for "piercing Yang in a hundred steps".
The strong bows in their hands are all specially made by the Empire, the bowstrings are made of extremely strong monster leather bands, the arrows on the bowstrings are much thicker than ordinary arrows, the arrows are made of penetrating pure gold, and the arrows are also smeared with poison that can see blood and seal the throat.
How strong are these marksmen? For example, it is clear that most of these sharpshooters are ordinary people, and only a few of them can enter the ranks of cultivators, and they are also the lowest level of cultivators at the first or second level of cultivators.
But this is such a group of people, even if they don't use poisoned arrows, the bows and arrows shot from their hands can easily shoot any beginner-level cultivator to death, and it is even possible to kill an intermediate cultivator with a single arrow!
And after using poisoned arrows, the arrows they shot could even threaten the lives of sixth-level mid-level peak cultivators, or even high-level cultivators!
As an excellent commander, Duke Lian of course knows very well the truth of making the best use of things, so these marksmen did not participate in the three volleys just now, they have been waiting for orders behind Duke Li'an, just to exert their most powerful power at this time!
During the day, these marksmen can shoot at least 300 paces away with their super attacks and marksmanship, and even at night when their vision is limited, a distance of 100 steps is more than enough for these marksmen!
"Shoot!" At the Duke of Lean's command, forty bows and arrows departed one after another, and shot towards the vanguard army that was charging towards the Silver Wing Knights.
These forty marksmen are worthy of being the top elite of the empire and the continent, all forty bows and arrows are extremely accurate towards the white knights who are mixed with the silver wing knights, and even some white knights are locked by two or three arrows at the same time, but none of the silver wing knights are aimed at these arrows at all!
Duke Lean stared at the forty arrows representing death with bated breath, as a commander, the most taboo thing is that there is a sudden situation on the battlefield that he cannot control, as long as these white knights are shot, then he has nothing to worry about!
But the next moment, the accident that Duke Lean had feared happened.
The white knights had apparently noticed the swift arrows and reacted immediately.
"All of them are in formation, and the shield of the guardian is guarded!" A long howl suddenly came from the mouth of a white knight who was extremely tall and conspicuous even among the thousands of horses.
As soon as the white knight's words fell, all the white knights shouted in unison, and the sky-high white holy power gushed out from their bodies, converging into a huge white ball of light above the sky.
At the moment when the white ball of light had just converged and formed, countless rays of white light shot down from the ball of light, forming a huge white shield of light in front of the cavalry vanguard of the Silver Wing Knights, enveloping all the knights, including the White Knight and the Silver Wing Knight!
"Ding, ding, ding!" Forty arrows hit the shield in a row, making a series of sounds, but none of them could penetrate the shield and hit their target!
"Hell!" Duke Leanne gasped, and finally understood the origin of these white knights on the other side.
"This is the chastissman of the church!"
