Chapter 4 The Shield Wall
It's not easy to come up with 10 cavalrymen in such an era. Three of the knights were more than Sergeant Erwyn in stats, with men and horses wearing silver iron armor and fierce cavalry spears, and in melee combat they used battle axes, maces, chain flails and other murder weapons, and each had a sharp sword. The other seven cavalrymen were slightly less equipped, armed with the same chain mail as the infantry, but also armed with rifles and various weapons. It seems that the Lamor family is still quite powerful.
Sonia came out of the tent and saw Xiao Yan who had lifted her visor, smiled at him gracefully, and walked towards him with brisk steps.
The maiden was dressed in fine silver armor carved with the coat of arms of the sword and rose of the Lamor family, and her face was delicate in the mild sun, and her neat white cloak and gloves were spotless. The two handsome maids followed suit.
"Look good!" Sonia came to Xiao Yan and showed off her beautiful silver armor like a proud lark, "There are several layers of magic solidified on it!" Advanced Anti-Demon Shield (immune to damage spells per minute), Clean (self-clean), Primary Blessing (50% increased evasion), Wind Grace (increases movement speed by 25% and ignores low-level traps), Concealment (blends into the background color of the environment as needed to reduce the chance of being detected), but unfortunately you can't take it off for you to wear, you're too big. ”
Xiao Yan looked at Sonya's armor, and the more he looked at it, the heavier his mood became.
Oh, my God! This is all a bonus for escape, and Space has to feel how dangerous this mission is to leave so many escape skills for the chosen one.
"Main quest opens: Go to the territory of Lamour.
Special note: The group building mission has been started, and your team will be generated after the completion of this mission. The higher the completion of this world, the higher the team level. ”
The Lamor family's guard was well-trained, and Sergeant Erwin arranged the march without Xiao Yan's order. The soldiers marched forward in a strict formation, dressed neatly.
Of the 10 cavalrymen who accompanied him, 3 were canonized feudal knights, two of whom had two knights and the other had 3. These knights are all vassals under the command of Count Lamour, and Xiao Yan only has nominal command over them, and these knights are even more noble in terms of status.
The three knights looked at Sonya's eyes full of enthusiasm and courtesy, and they were not so polite to Xiao Yan, a family dog who could get close to Miss Earl. Xiao Yan once hoped to send lightly armed scout cavalry forward, but several knights blocked back without this custom, and rode away without giving Xiao Yan a chance to continue speaking.
As the captain of the guards, Xiao Yan didn't have a war horse, and walked beside Sonya with his halberd.
The road on both sides became narrower and narrower, and behind the dense woods and shrubs on both sides, I didn't know what was hidden, and from time to time there was the sound of grass and branches.
Xiao Yan approached Sonya, who was riding on a horse, and held the shield in his hand, and a wave of nervousness and uneasiness hit.
This should be an early warning of danger provided by perception. Although Xiao Yan and Sonya's perception is not high, they can still have a certain perception of danger. If it was a highly sentient figure like Galadia present, it is estimated that he would have shot an arrow into the forest, nailing the enemy in the darkness to the tree first.
The infantrymen clutched their swords, guns and shields, apparently aware that the surroundings were not safe.
The knights were just as nervous, but they couldn't get into the woods to check on their tall horses.
"Ahh
The slaughter came suddenly, a tall, slender figure leaped out of the jungle, and before a cavalryman could react, his crotch mount was so frightened that he stood up. The attacking enemy was armed with a spear, and stabbed the cavalry on his horse, stabbing him in the throat on the spot, piercing it and hanging it on the tip of the spear.
"Trolls!" The sergeant reacted extremely quickly, and it was estimated that he had been holding back the sentence, "The shield is outward!" ”
The well-trained infantry turned outward, shoulder to shoulder in a tight shield formation. The road is narrow and can only be used by a maximum of four people in parallel. The soldiers defended in two rows on the outside, leaving a passage in the middle to protect the dignitaries and wounded, and also to facilitate support.
Xiao Yan hurriedly picked up Sonya off the horse, beckoned two soldiers to guard her, and stood up to check the situation herself.
With the battle cry of the first troll pikeman, hundreds of troll warriors burst out of the bushes on either side, caught the human army on the left and right, and slammed the shields of the infantry in front of them with their tomahawks, machetes, and sticks. For a while, the ping-pong was a piece of mingling.
"Steady! Steady! Sergeant Erwin stood calmly in the middle of the line, and the infantry on the outside protected him in the middle, so that he could calmly observe the battle.
The knights and servants were besieged on all sides. On the one hand, it was because they were out of the cover of the infantry brigade, and on the other hand, their men and horses were too conspicuous, and they looked like fat meat, which attracted many trolls to go up and besiege them.
Fortunately, these cavalry are not soft tofu, the three feudal knights are even more ferocious, and their attributes are higher than those of the sergeant, although the attacks from all directions are like raindrops, but they are all heavily armoured, and for a while, the inferior weapons of the trolls can't help them.
One of the strongest knights simply threw away his shield, and held a mace in each hand to open his bow to the left and right to pick the zenith cover to smash, and the trolls who were hit all burst into brains, red and white.
Seeing that the trolls' attention was drawn to the knights, the sergeant noticed that the pressure in front of him was commonplace, and took out a whistle and blew it vigorously.
A hurried whistle sounded, and the infantrymen, who were still defending with shields, immediately raised their swords and struck forward. The trolls who had besieged before had all their strength smashed on the solid shield, and after attacking for a while, they had made no progress and were already weak, and suddenly they were hit by a storm, and they were knocked down by nearly a third on the spot.
The troll, who had suffered a big loss, slammed into the shield again, and was firmly guarded by the well-trained Romanians. Suddenly, another whistle sounded, and the infantrymen's spears and short swords pierced out from between their shields, and the trolls had no armor or formation, so they could only carry them with flesh and blood.
The untouched trolls immediately cut down half of them, and the rest looked at the corpses of their fellow clansmen in dismay, and then at the immovable iron shield wall in front of them, and they all wavered.
Xiao Yan looked at the army of the Lamor family in the queue and found that these Romanian heavy infantry had an extra temporary attribute.
"Victory is in sight: The morale of these warriors is high, and there is little chance of losing the battle. Soldiers' attack and defense are increased by an additional 5%. ”
The troll soldiers on the opposite side have one more negative attribute - the military spirit is shaken. The troll warriors hesitated and didn't know what to do, and from a distance, they could collapse at any moment.
There is even the art of hopeful qi!
