Chapter Seventy-Eight: Incredible Defense
Zachary smiled and glanced around his companions, then turned his gaze back to the monsters, and he gently drew his sword, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"Second Cavalry Squadron, ready for battle."
The soldiers immediately stopped what they were doing, drew their long swords and held them in their hands, and began to urge the horses under their crotches to keep up with Zachary.
The sound of clattering horses' hooves resounded over the snowy field again, and Hersman and Scrooge hurriedly looked up to see Zachary leading his men like a gust of wind towards the monster that had begun to move in this direction.
Immediately after a battle, Hersman and Scrooge were seizing every minute to get their soldiers to rest and prepare them for the weapons they had used in the battle.
So at this time, the two of them suddenly saw Zachary rushing towards the monster with his light cavalry, and the two of them were a little incomprehensible.
"What does he want to do?" Hersman and Zachary had only met today, and although he had heard of the young man Reiner who was favored by his sweetheart, he didn't know each other, so he turned his head and looked at Scrooge beside him suspiciously.
Hersman knew that His Royal Highness, the third prince of the orc kingdom, had been with His Royal Highness the eldest princess Amber and Zachary during this time, and had a good relationship, and he knew a little more about Zachry.
It's just that Scrooge also shook his head with a puzzled look at this time, he didn't know what Zachary wanted to do, but he knew that Zachary would not act rashly, and would not make useless actions that wasted his soldier's physical strength.
"I don't know, let's see, Zachary won't do stupid things, what goal he should have."
Hersman nodded expressionlessly, and since he couldn't get an answer from here, he didn't ask anymore, just quietly watched Zakary's back to see what he was going to do.
The speed of the Ledian war horse was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, Zachary had already rushed in front of the monster with his soldiers like a gust of wind.
The sudden movement of the human beings made those monster leaders cautious, and then with a roar of rage, a group of ordinary monsters separated from the large group and rushed to this side.
Although Zachary was a little surprised that these monster leaders had learned to divide their forces and try to be, he didn't pay much attention to the group of monsters that had been separated.
With a direct tug on the reins, he took the soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron to a turn, and very deftly avoided the monsters that rushed towards them, and rushed directly to the side of the monster group.
"Crossbow ready!"
The soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron silently pulled out the crossbows and crossbows they had twisted during their rest, then held their horses tightly with their legs, placed one hand on the quiver, and raised the crossbow with the other to face the monster, waiting for Zachary's order.
"Target, Demon Tree, three waves of continuous shooting!"
"Ready—"
The soldiers immediately pointed their crossbows at the dozen or so monsters that were also particularly conspicuous among the huge monsters, even if there was a distance of nearly 100 meters, the war horses were still galloping at high speed, and the soldiers of the second cavalry squadron were not worried that their attacks would fail, because the opponent's more than ten meters tall body was too easy to aim, and with their archery skills, it was difficult to miss.
Zachary squinted and estimated the distance, until he was only a dozen meters away from the outermost monster who rushed to the front, and the opponent could pounce on him with just one blow, he kicked the war horse under his crotch and swung the long sword in his hand.
"Put!"
Hum -
The air in the vicinity seemed to be evacuated, and the strings of the crossbow continued to vibrate at an extremely high frequency, filling the surroundings with a low sound of air vibrating.
The arrows shot out quickly, and from the hands of the soldiers of the Second Cavalry Squadron, who had been less than formed after the previous battle, they shot towards the dozen or so magic trees.
Then more than 400 cavalrymen put down their bows and crossbows at the same time, skillfully took out arrows from their quivers, loaded them, nooses, and shots, and more than 400 people were like a person, neat and orderly, and their movements were so concise.
Zachary, who was at the forefront, had just twisted his horse and passed past several monsters, and the sword qi had just swept out of his hands, and the soldiers of the second cavalry squadron had already completed three waves of consecutive fire.
In an instant, arrows flew in the air like locusts.
The soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron, who followed Zachary as he pulled the reins and allowed themselves to pass by the outermost monster, drew a beautiful arc on the monster's flank while manipulating their horses to follow Zachary's movements, while keeping their eyes on the feathered arrows in the air.
When hundreds of arrows fell on more than a dozen demon trees, and the huge bodies of the demon trees were covered by dense arrows, the soldiers of the Second Cavalry Squadron didn't know if they were ringing in their ears or if there was really such a sound, they seemed to hear a rapid jingling sound in their ears.
But when this illusion passed, all the soldiers turned into dumbfounded expressions, and they watched in disbelief as the dozen or so monsters continued unaffected, and the arrows that fell on them fell from the cracked and thick body of the demon tree like a shot of steel.
Even though an arrow pierced through the outermost bark of the Demon Tree, it was evident that it had only pierced slightly, and with the slow but violent footsteps of the Demon Tree, it shook off the Demon Tree and fell to the ground.
This result was a little difficult for the soldiers of the 2nd Cavalry Squadron to accept, and they even had the urge to shoot all the arrows in the quiver on their horses, but Zachary had already led them through an arc on the snowfield, and turned their backs to the monster in the original direction, so that the soldiers could only suppress the impulse in their hearts.
And after seeing the results of Zachary's cavalry's attack, Hersman and Scrooge understood what Zachary was doing.
Testing the defenses of these newly emerged monsters, the results were so shocking that the powerful crossbow had no effect at all on these monsters transformed from cedar trees, and could not penetrate the outer bark of the opponent at all.
When the time comes, will the soldiers under his command be able to break through the defense, the answer is obviously easy to see, so Hirschman and Scrooge both have solemn expressions on their faces.
"Prepare yourself, Your Highness Scrooge, we may need to be killed, or I can't imagine what will happen if these monsters rush into the soldiers."
However, after a while, the expression on Hirschman's face returned to his previous calm, but Scrooge could tell from his tone that the young man of the Tanif Empire was not as calm as his face looked.
After returning with his cavalry to the previous dirt slope to join up with Kuhn, who had remained here, Zachary set his sights on Scrooge and Hersman in the center.
I've tested the monster's defensive characteristics, and I don't know if you're ready, but the next battle will be tougher than we thought. (To be continued.) )
