542 The Wandering Black Knight
"What do you mean?"
The captain was a little distracted by Scarface's strange look, and couldn't help but look away, and before waiting for an answer from the other side, he heard the thin man behind him shouting again: "It's cavalry!" The cavalry of Jincheng has come to pick us up! ”
When the soldiers around the captain heard this, they couldn't help but perk up, and they all looked south, and sure enough, they saw a cavalry team marching quickly in this direction.
The cavalry is the unique formation of Jincheng, that is, the central ring city, each cavalry team is led by a knight of the six rings, and the professionals of the seven rings are the leaders of the cavalry squad, and even if it is an ordinary cavalry, it also needs the strength of the eight rings to be selected.
And the mount of the Jincheng cavalry is also a kind of war beast specially cultivated for many years, this kind of war beast called the earth dragon is far larger than the ordinary camel beasts such as the wildebeest, and the limbs are thick, the charging speed is extremely fast, and has a very high weight-bearing capacity and endurance, equipped with a specially built "dragon armor", just like a charging chariot, under the command of the cavalry, it can easily slaughter the gray beast, and even when a cavalry group charges, even the group of black beasts have to avoid its edge.
Of course, what really makes the Jincheng cavalry able to become cavalry is the size of these earth dragons themselves, as well as the equipment that has spent a lot of resources to build.
After several generations of cultivation, these earth dragons have a natural resistance to gray mist, and can move freely in the gray fog for dozens of minutes without being affected by the gray mist.
At the same time, the dragon armor equipped on the Earth Dragon's body also has a certain ability to repel the gray fog after special treatment, allowing the Earth Dragon's safe activities in the gray fog to be extended to several hours.
The armor on the cavalry has also undergone the same treatment, which can make them more energy-saving and prolong the combat time when they are active in the gray fog.
As for the tinder...... If the fire was useful, the cavalry would not be unique to Jincheng.
It is true that the fire has a stronger ability to repel the gray mist, but the essence of the fire is a miniaturized stronghold fire, even if it is an ordinary fire, it is no different from the stronghold fire in the way it works.
In other words, these tinders, whether permanent or normal, should actually be fixed somewhere, such as when camping in the gray fog.
And the fire can play a role when the user moves, but it is only because everyone will not travel fast in the gray fog, and it will have little impact on the shelter formed by the fire, if it is replaced by a high-speed cavalry, it can only form a temporary gray fog channel behind the cavalry, but it cannot protect the cavalry itself.
Limited by the birth rate of the earth dragon and the special materials required to produce equipment, the number of Jincheng cavalry has always been small, unless it is an extremely important mission, they will only be dispatched when the Kuroshio outbreak in Jincheng will slaughter the ordinary gray beasts and weaker black beasts in the Kuroshio, slow down the advance of the Kuroshio, so as to reduce the pressure on the frontal defense line.
As for why the cavalry is here......
The captain touched his chest, and under his armor, a small wooden box was hiding, and if it was because of this, it should be considered an extremely important task, right?
Thinking so, the captain looked up at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer, but he felt that something was wrong, and the team sandwiched between him and the cavalry had their backs to them and put up a defensive position!
"That's not right! This is not the cavalry of Jincheng! ”
When these cavalry got closer and closer, the captain finally realized that something was wrong - the cavalry of Jincheng would definitely not be more than three meters tall!
Although the mounts of these cavalry are similar in size to Earth Dragons, with a height of more than two meters at the shoulder, the knights on their backs are just as tall! If you convert it to the height ratio of a normal person's riding position, the height of these knights is generally more than three meters!
"Array! Ring ......"
The captain's order was just halfway shouted, but was interrupted by the thin man behind him: "Brother! There are also on the right! ”
The captain hurriedly turned his head, but saw that there was also a cavalry galloping from the west!
"Damn it, everyone! Deploy forward! ”
The captain turned to the right, the long sword in his hand pointed directly at the cavalry in the distance, and the warriors around him also moved, without the interference of the storm, the movements of these warriors were fast and orderly, and the original circle array turned into an arc-shaped shield array in an instant, facing the knights from the west.
The only exception was the thin man, who had been sitting behind the captain and surrounded by many warriors, but now that the warriors had spread out to form a shield formation, he took the opportunity to retreat backwards, until he reached the center of the corner formed by the two teams, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk, waste."
A joking voice came from overhead, and the thin man was startled, and hurriedly raised his head, but what entered his field of vision was a face that was split in half!
"Ah——!h
The screams rang out, and the captain hurriedly turned around, only to see the thin man lying at the feet of the scarface freak with a frightened face, and he had fainted, while the scarface freak was still expressionless, but his hands were lightly pressed on his face, not knowing what he was doing.
However, the captain no longer had the heart to pay attention to his waste brother, and not far to his left, the cavalry had already rushed into the protection range of the Tinder, and he finally saw the appearance of the cavalry.
The knights wore tattered black cloaks and their faces were hidden under their hoods, but they could still see the black metal masks by the faint light source, and the only hands that were exposed were also wearing pure black metal fists, and the joints of the fists were covered with barbs, which looked extremely hideous.
These knights wielded greatswords and war hammers, which were like toys in their hands, and the mercenaries who stood in front of them were like toys in their hands, and in front of the whistling greatswords and maces, those mercenaries were like rag dolls, and they were easily knocked out.
The defense line on the south side was cut through, but the young leader was still in front of these knights, and the flames burned on his body, and even the long sword in his hand was like a flame condensed, illuminating a large area around him.
In the firelight, the captain could see the knights' mounts as if they were enlarged horses, with short, dark and lustrous hair, but their eyes glittered with blood.
"Is this the Black Knight?"
The captain remembered what the young leader said before, but he was not half happy in his heart, in the face of such a group of powerful monsters, no matter how he struggled, the final outcome might only be death......
