Act 102: Eternity II
"Knight Brende, do you see that crack in the west, you lead the eighth echelon to bypass from behind and encircle the cavalry from the side. Freya suddenly turned her head, looked at the broken glacier to the west, and said to Brende, who was beside her. The crumbling glacier undulated through the snowfield, reflecting the sunlight after noon, glittering beneath the ice, and Brende looked in that direction, a little puzzled: "Why, it is impossible to catch up from that direction." β
"Yes, Knight Brende, your task is to force them to change direction and let the halflings flee north, preferably northeast." Freya replied.
"What's in the east?" Brende was stunned, and subconsciously looked in that direction, but in his field of vision, there was an endless glacier to the east as well as to the northβthe edge of the glacier shimmered under the clear sky, like the edge of a mirror, and pierced his eyes. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, a little suspicious.
"Brende, it's the wind." Little Pelo, who was riding on a horse, seemed to react, "The direction of the wind, the wind is blowing from the northwest." β
No one was stupid, and Brende understood at once, and he watched the ice dust raised by the wind slowly move in their direction on the glacier, and he couldn't help but marvel at it for a moment: the wind was blowing from the northwest, which meant that that direction could be a mountain pass, and the north and east sides were most likely in the direction of a mountain pass. These things have not been learned in the tactical class of the aristocracy, and can only be regarded as common sense, but at this time, they can keenly perceive and use this to make judgments, but not everyone can think of it.
"The guy in front may have noticed this early on, I don't think the other party's commander chose to flee in this direction because he left his fate to Lord Martha," little Pelo further analyzed, he looked at Freya with some admiration, and said intermittently in the wind: "We blocked his retreat, the other party will definitely not sit still, Ms. Freya, you want to force them to come back and fight us to the death, right?" β
The girl was slightly stunned. She didn't actually think that far away, but she had a faint intuition that if she did this, the other party might turn back. But as a commander, she had at least learned how to maintain her majesty, and nodded slightly.
"I see." Brende nodded a little excitedly, no one wanted to follow the command of a waste, especially for them, mere mediocrity was intolerable, but the thought of a perfect victory was imminent. These young people from Cruz couldn't help but get excited. Seriously, it's their maiden battle.
Across the glacier, the knights of Cruz, together with Aloze, formed a perfect suppression of the halflings, and the Enhor cavalry under Anlek barely had any room for resistance, and were strangled on the ice, blood flowing from the corpses of the halfling cavalry. In an instant, it freezes into a pool of red ice. The tenth echelon led by Luo Ji and the other seven echelons are in the final finishing battle, and in the final battlefield, this battle is about to come to an end.
Kuvu saw a cavalry with a swallowtail flag split out of the pursuers behind him and enter the shadow of the broken glacier, and understood the other commander's intentions. He was actually waiting for this opportunity, there were thirty-four guards and knights around him, all of them were good young men among the Enhor people, and they were the most elite soldiers in the halfling cavalry of Grand Duke Anlek, and there were only a dozen cavalry echelons on the other side. He didn't believe that four times the number was not enough to deal with these cavalrymen of unknown origin.
Seeing that the other commander's commander dared to divide his troops, the halfling knight couldn't help but show a sneer on his face, in his opinion, Freya had made a right choice, but it was also wrong in a sense - the other party was too arrogant, or their initial frenzied escape successfully created a false impression on the other party, making the other party think that they were weak and could be bullied. Kuvu was pleased with the situation he had created, but he did not rush to order his men to turn around, and the halfling knights who were willing to fight alongside him and did not scatter and flee were all his closest subordinates, and good steel was used on the blade. Kuvu is waiting. Wait for Brende's cavalry to move far enough away from Freya.
He cunningly feigned that he was on the run, and reoriented himself to the north, as Freya had wished. It seems that the Knight of Cruz has been fooled, and he sees Brende's cavalry bypassing the broken glacial belt, and finally understands that he has a golden opportunity to wait.
In fact, he was well aware that at this moment, the pony physical strength of the halfling cavalry was almost close to the limit, and at most it could support one more charge, but that was enough. Kuvu whistled, and the halfling cavalry accompanying him made a turn in the ice field, all facing Freya and her first echelon.
"Sure enough!" Seeing the scene in front of him, little Pelo's voice rang out. Freya was relieved to see the halfling cavalry turn their horses' heads, as they would be close to the limit of their magic interference by running a short distance, but fortunately, it seemed that Master Martha was still on their side. She raised her sword high: "Ready to fight!" β
The knights let out a restless cry and raised their shields, the halfling cavalry was one of the most special cavalry of Vauld, they were not heavy cavalry that were good at shock formations, these cavalry on ponies and even war dogs were best at medium and close combat, to be exact, they were spear throwers.
The two sides launched a decisive charge on the ice field, and the distance gradually shortened to the point that they could see each other's tense faces because of tension - human and halfling, and suddenly there was a whistle from the cavalry of Kuwu, and they all threw their short spears forward, and a rain of short spears flew dozens of meters and poured into the thin line of Cruz knights. But the expected scene of people turning on their backs did not appear, only to see the shield in the hands of the human knight suddenly unfold one after another colorful light shields, and the short spear hit those light shields, and immediately broke into two pieces of sawdust and flew.
Kuwu's heart was cold when he saw this scene, he didn't make a mistake, but as the leader of a nobleman's private army, he probably never dreamed of how far a cavalry like his in this world could be compared with the most elite knights of the powerful empire on the continent - this ignorance sometimes had to be compensated for with life.
The Cruz were unscathed in one round of spear throws, and on a flat snowy field, when two cavalry teams charged opposite each other, there was no second chance at all. Probably having seen the end, the morale of the elite Guardian Knights of the Enhor people plummeted, but the pride they had accumulated in the past made them raise their weapons head-on.
From above, the Cruz knights led by Freya looked like a thin silver blade, piercing the heart of the halfling cavalry with a sword.
"They're dead!"
When Brende saw this, he tightened his reins and stopped, the battle had just begun, but he had already seen the results. The blonde-haired knight said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't participate in the battle in person." β
"Don't worry, isn't that guy Anlek still dead, if you clean up the battlefield quickly, maybe there will be a chance." A knight behind him shouted with some excitement, the Lord of Fire once said that cavalry is an invincible class, blood and fanaticism are like their signs, just being on the battlefield is enough to make these young people ready to move.
"Ha, that's a good point!"
The knights were talking, but Brende looked back, he seemed to see a flash of light on the horizon, he rubbed his eyes, almost thought that he had a delusion, the sun on the ice often makes people snow blind, and sometimes the refracted light is not impossible to hallucinate.
But Brende felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he turned back to the others and said, "Have you seen anything?" β
"What's that?"
"Don't you see it in that direction, it looks like a blue light......" Brende asked, a little confused.
"Blue light?"
"Nope."
"Could it be a mistake, Brende?"
Brende shrugged, "Probably." But as soon as he finished speaking, someone in the team was already screaming: "Oh my God, look over there! Brende was slightly startled, and immediately turned his head vigilantly, but the moment he turned his head, his face changed instantly.
Martha is on it, what the hell is this......
β¦β¦
The silent cave is covered with ice and snow, the eternal ice forms the dark blue walls, the glacier sinks downward, forming strips of texture, and the dark cave, the natural formation of holes criss-crosses, but in the midst of this natural magic, there are many artificial things.
If you look closely, you'll find many cargo boxes from Cruz, with eagle emblems on them indicating that they were once military supplies. On the other side, there are barrels from Wallendenburg, Lantoniland and beyond, filled with all sorts of food, and anyone who comes here will think they have strayed into the underground storage room of some frost giant.
But it's a real dragon's nest.
Although here you don't see glittering gold coins, you don't see jewels, you don't see priceless works of art and gold and silver utensils, and you don't even see the dazzling gems that dragons love to be, except for food. Cured beef, sausages, frozen fish, yogurt, bread, fruit, and jars of honey and sweets piled together.
But this cave, which looks like a witch's candy house, is indeed the hiding place of the frost dragon Star.
