348. Battle Array

Fifty steps, thirty steps, ten steps, five steps, and finally, the row of ghouls rushing to the front stepped into the range of the archers and mage knights, but Artoria did not immediately give the order to attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

She was still waiting for the moment when she could maximize the effect of her arrows and magic, but this moment was definitely not something that could be captured by any one person, and even a seasoned veteran would need to concentrate all his energy to grasp this moment on the battlefield.

Looking at the demons who were getting closer and closer, a little cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the knights, they didn't know why Artoria, as the commander, hadn't given the order to attack until now, obviously the demons had already entered the attack range, did they have to wait until the demons came to the front before giving the order?!

The bow knight's arrows had already trembled slightly, and the magic light in the mage knight's hand had also flickered slightly, and everyone's nerves were tense at this moment because Artoria had not given the order.

Finally, when the ghouls in the front row could see the hideous and terrifying expressions of the ghouls in the front row, Artoria's eyes instantly brightened, and she swung the Dragon Calamity Sword violently, shouting, "Attack!" ”

And those knights who had long been ready to release arrows or magic, after hearing Artoria's final order, released their right hands that were pulling the bowstring tightly, or released the magic in their hands, forming a series of destructive magic.

In an instant, a dense stream of arrows, flames, ice picks, lightning and wind blades all flew towards the ghouls in the front row.

And those who are ready to rush to the pile of people in front of them to kill, and the delicious ghouls who are good at human flesh and blood are no longer allowed to dodge because of the speed of their sprints, so even if they see these magic and arrows attacking them directly, they are completely unable to dodge, and can only grit their teeth and fight with their powerful recovery power to withstand these attacks.

But the attacks that had been accumulated for a long time and were carried out at the most effective time, coupled with the super speed at which they sprinted, it was difficult for these ghouls in the front row to withstand these magic and arrows, no matter how resilient they were.

I saw that the ghouls who were shrouded by sharp arrows didn't even make a sound of pain, and were directly pierced through the eyes, throat, heart, legs and other parts of the body by those sharp arrows.

The ghouls who were shrouded in all kinds of destructive magic were either cut off by the wind blade, impaled by ice picks, or hit by flames and their whole bodies began to burn, or they were struck by lightning, and their whole bodies were scorched black, emitting a disgusting and strange smell of flesh.

With just one attack, more than a dozen ghouls were directly damaged in the way, but the momentum of the demons' forward rush did not stop there, and those ghouls who were attacked by arrows or magic but did not receive fatal damage continued to maintain a super high sprint speed and rushed towards the knights.

After the first round of attacks, the knights with bows and mage knights quickly prepared for the second round of attacks, and sharp arrows and brilliant magical light appeared again in the hands of the knights or on the bows.

Artoria's Dragon Calamity Sword was also raised again, and at the moment when the demons stepped on the corpse of the fallen ghoul and continued to advance, he swung the Dragon Calamity Sword again, and shouted, "Second round, attack!" ”

As soon as her words fell, the high-speed arrows, the "clang" sound of wind blades, ice picks and air rubbing, and the "crackling" sound of flames and lightning scorching the air immediately echoed in everyone's ears.

In the next second, those attacks hit the ghouls in the front row again, and those ghouls who had already experienced a round of attacks before finally exceeded their recovery ability under this round of attacks, fell to the grass, and then were trampled by the later demons one by one.

After two rounds of baptism, dozens of ghouls in the front two rows of the demons have been lost, but this did not slow down the pace of the demons, but made them increase their speed even more frantically, rushing towards the knights.

Looking at those crazy demons, a slight fear faintly appeared in the hearts of all the knights, especially those knights who had not experienced the demon crusade, after seeing the ghouls who were full of arrows and their skin was scorched on one side and rotten on that side.

They all felt a little powerless against this monster with strong recovery ability. But the good military literacy still made them quickly suppress these emotions in their hearts, and they regrouped their good mood and threw themselves into the battle again.

The arrows were bowed again, the magic resurfaced, Artoria's dragon sword swung down again, and just like that, round after round, it continued to receive three full rounds of intensive attacks, but the number of ghouls lost was much smaller, and only a few ghouls fell in these three rounds.

The reason for this is that the ghouls began to consciously adjust their position in the group, with the feather ghouls keeping a low altitude, the tail and scale ghouls using their own kads to take down the flying arrows or magic, and the ghouls rushing to the front of the group to help the other ghouls fend off all attacks.

And the few ghouls who died in these three rounds of attacks were all armor wielders.

Looking at the ghouls who had already begun to make tactical arrangements, Artoria knew that it would only be a waste of arrows and magic to continue attacking from a distance, so she immediately shouted, "Shield and gun array!" ”

After Artoria's order was finished, the archers and mage knights standing in the front row quickly opened a gap that could accommodate one person, and those knights with shields and knightly swords standing in the middle of the line quickly passed through the gap and reached the front of the line.

Then they plunged their shields into the dirt, and the knights who later held their shields and knights' swords stacked their shields on top of the shields inserted into the dirt, making them look like a man-high steel wall.

After the shield wall was formed, the knights with spears who had been standing in the back row quickly came behind the shield-raising knights with their spears, and then passed their spears through the gaps between the shields, so that the sharp spear heads could emerge from the shield wall.

And those knights with bows also put away their strong bows at this time, turned to draw the knight's sword at their waists, took down the light shield that had been held on their backs, and came behind the spear knights, their eyes staring at the gaps between the shields, paying attention to the movements of the demons on the other side of the shield wall.
