Chapter 104: There Are Pits in the Ground
Looking at the Grace City cavalry who were still in a neat formation in the face of the sudden attack, Roger couldn't help frowning.
The cavalrymen were okay to say. As long as you have undergone rigorous training, it is not easy to be like the current cavalry in Grace City, but it can be trained.
But the wildebeest under the seat were not afraid of this sudden attack, which surprised Roger.
"It seems that this Gilles is indeed very proficient in cavalry training." Roger shook his head.
As the saying goes, shoot the man first and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first and capture the king, and the importance of the mount to the cavalry can be imagined. However, many forces focus on developing better and more powerful mounts, and neglect the training of mounts.
In other words, they habitually left the training of their mounts to the cavalrymen themselves. After all, just the expenses of being responsible for the cavalry and its mounts are already a big burden for various cities, and many Terran cities can't even afford to train cavalry.
But Gilles, who was born as a knight, clearly knew that for cavalry, the training of mounts was sometimes even more important than the training of cavalry!
The quality of the mounts is directly related to whether the strength of the elite cavalry can be fully exerted.
Therefore, the mounts produced in Grace City are not as long as they can be ridden like other cities in the Wolf Principality, but must be strictly trained by animal trainers before they are assigned to the knights.
The best mounts are given to the best knights!
That's what Giles said, and that's what he did!
The 38th-order champion knight of Grace City is the greatest guarantee for the Gilles Proud Vision Wolf Principality!
With these elite champion knights, Gilles even defeated the eighth-order paladin troops of the Dawn Church head-on in the competition, thus making a name for himself!
But it's a pity that in this wolf principality, Gilles's achievements are at most like this.
The Wild Wolf Principality is named after the Wild Wolf, and its trump card unit is the elite Dire Wolf Cavalry, so Gilles, who is obsessed with ordinary cavalry, does not receive the attention it deserves. The paladin team of the Dawn Church once intended to recruit this excellent knight leader, but Gilles was unwilling to leave Grace City, so he finally rejected the church's offer.
Perhaps Giles thinks. Only in Grace City can he make the most of his knightly commanding strengths. After all, the ace unit of the Dawn Church is the Seraphic Legion, and no matter how strong the paladin queue is, it can only act as a foil.
And now, Gilles is not bringing all the championship knights. Behind him, the eighth-order champion knights he was proud of had only dispatched a measly twenty, and the remaining eighty were all seventh-order cavalrymen.
However, Gilles believed that with such a strong cavalry, it would definitely be enough to deal with a group of "thieves".
Giles' self-confidence was not without reason.
It's these leading champion knights. Make Roger's surprise attack almost completely useless.
These champion knights were undaunted to raise their shields directly to meet the fireball, but after actually taking the attack, they were shocked to find that the power of the fireball was so insignificant.
After all, the one who sent out these fireballs was only a fifth-order fire-type elemental class, and against an elite champion knight up to the eighth order, this attack was completely painless.
And behind the champion knights, the cavalrymen who were originally a little flustered gradually stabilized after seeing the performance of the champion knights in front of them.
So, under the leadership of Gilles, the cavalry under his command immediately launched a decisive charge in the direction of the fireball that had just flown out!
Roger, who was secretly observing all this, couldn't help but grit his teeth, and immediately cast a magic spell to notify Kerr to directly launch a second wave of offensive.
After receiving the order, Kerr immediately commanded the ice elementals under his command to launch an attack on the champion knights. Thirty-five ice bullets that suddenly flew out from the side directly sealed the twenty champion knights who were charging at the front completely.
However, the ice bullets of the fifth-order ice elementals were quite limited for the champion knights of the eighth order. As soon as they froze, cracks appeared in the ice outside the champion knights.
However, the leading champion knights were suddenly frozen, still disrupting the rhythm of the cavalry charging behind them, and those seventh-order cavalry had to bypass the twenty large blocks of ice before continuing to charge.
And then there was a flurry of people flipped on their backs!
"What's going on!" Gilles, who was in the middle of the queue and hurriedly grabbed his mount, shouted angrily.
"There's a pit in the ground!" Immediately, a cavalryman replied that the young cavalryman had just been thrown off by his mount, and that he was lucky not to be seriously injured, and that a dense bush of grass had only given him some more bruises.
However, he did not pay any attention to his injuries, and while answering Gilles's questioning, he hurried to his mount.
The wildebeest that fell into the pit did not let out any wail. Just glanced at the young cavalryman quietly, and slowly closed his eyes.
The wildebeest, which was hit hard by the high-speed charge, would not have survived long, if not dying on the spot.
The young horseman, who had lost his beloved horse, was suddenly red-eyed. He clutched the barrel of the fallen rifle to the ground.
Roger didn't use the kind of small traps that were specific to the legs of the horses, which have long been recorded. Today's wildebeest mounts usually have some low-level earth magic attached to their shoes, which are specially designed to prevent wildebeest from stepping into the air.
However, this enchantment is only useful for some small traps, but Roger asked the ice elementals to dig a large pit that could fit the Earth Dragon Knight, and even if the Earth Dragon Knight came, he had to plant and fight.
Relying on this big pit, nearly thirty cavalrymen who could not avoid it directly lost their mounts. The enraged cavalrymen gritted their teeth and clenched their spears in their hands. With red eyes, he stared at his leader.
Although they have lost their mounts, they can still act as spearmen of the seventh order, and they are fully capable of fighting!
Gilles did not immediately respond to their request, but hurriedly cast two adventurous spells: the perspective of the earth and the perspective of the atmosphere.
Then Gilles' face was very ugly, and he found that the ground around him was actually full of craters of different sizes! At the same time, a full thirty-five Ice Elementals had gathered and were advancing towards his cavalry troops from the side, and thirty-five other somewhat strange Fire Elementals were preparing to throw fireballs in this direction!
"Get ready to attack!" Gilles shouted as his cavalry lined up. And the champion knights who broke free from the ice were the first to attack the incoming ice elementals.
The battle was soon over, and the cavalry under Gilles's command easily wiped out these elemental troops, which were only of the fifth order.
But they weren't happy at all.
Roger exhausted the strategic magic stored in the strategic treasures on his body, and he was only able to summon thirty-five elemental troops in addition to the fire and water types.
Originally, without the support of the Hero's Certificate, these elemental units were difficult to command. However, Roger still has two bosses of the Elemental Realm by his side. Rabbit and Kerr just let out their breath, and the elementals obediently obeyed.
In the face of the superiors of the same lineage, these fifth-order elemental troops could not be dishonest.
However, without the blessing of the Hero's Certificate, Rabbit and Kerr can only reluctantly command these elemental troops. To rely on these unorganized and undisciplined fifth-order troops to fight against the seventh- and eighth-order cavalry, no matter how you look at it, how unreliable. So Roger deliberately summoned some different troops.
The water system is also the ice element. The ice bomb is really useful. Fire, on the other hand, summons some pretty special elemental classes: the Flame Elemental. This fire elemental class will explode when it eventually falls!
Gilles, who did not know this characteristic, and the cavalry under his command suffered a great loss, nearly twenty cavalry mounts were killed and wounded, and fourteen cavalrymen of the seventh order were injured of varying degrees of severity.
Roger asked Rabbit and Kerr to give these elemental classes a final order to attack the mounts of the Seventh Order Cavalry!
And the champion knights did not even have a single person with a mount, at most they suffered some minor injuries.
In other words, the cavalry under Gilles was actually not a big problem, and all the losses were mounts.
The enraged seventh-order cavalry kept searching back and forth for traces of the enemy, but when the ice elementals began to charge, Roger slipped away with the rabbit and Kerr. Next, Gilles and his cavalry team are actually engaged in a battle with some "ownerless" lost elemental troops.
So, of course, the cavalry could not find anything.
Of course, Gilles didn't believe that these strange elemental beings had slipped here on their own, and the pit on the ground couldn't have been dug by these elemental beings in idle and boring, right? If it's an earth-based elemental life, it's possible to dig a hole, but it's all fire-based and water-based elemental life!
However, the Hero's Proof shows that there are no heroes nearby.
So Gilles could only suspect that someone had used some kind of treasure like the Dragon's Flute to control these elemental lives.
But this conclusion is useless at all!
Although Gilles's troops did not lose much in strength, especially the champion knights of the eighth order were all fine. But the seventh-order cavalrymen who lost their mounts can't just be thrown here, right?
So there is only one choice in front of Gilles: retreat!
Twenty Rank 8 Champion Knights alone were not enough to ensure Gilles' safety, so Gilles could only retreat.
And Giles' retreat will definitely not be able to catch up with Roger and his party in a short period of time.
Watching Gilles hesitate for a long time, he finally chose to retreat, and Roger, who was hiding far away and observing with the [Eye of True Knowledge], finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't look at him in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, he is full of confidence, in fact, Roger has no bottom in his heart.
After all, all he could use was seventy elemental troops.
Of course. If Kerr and Rabbit were given all their might, killing Gilles and his cavalry shouldn't be a problem. However, Kerr and Bunny Eight have returned to the Elemental Realm.
Don't look at the fact that Rabbit and Ke'er can easily bully the ninth-order ghost dragon, that's just because the ghost dragon is a bachelor.
Against the eighth-order champion cavalry and seventh-order cavalry who have the blessing of Gilles's various heroic auras, they are as strong as rabbits and kerr, and they definitely have to fight hard.
It really made Rabbit and Kerr desperate. After that, Roger and his party had to pass through most of the Wolf Principality with a wanted warrant on their backs! If there is danger at that time, can Roger and the others let His Royal Highness the Prince be on top alone?
So after thinking about it for a while, Roger decisively decided to pit Gilles, and then withdrew.
Regardless of whether Gilles will continue to pursue after losing these mounts, he is much less threatening due to the loss of many men.
Joining His Royal Highness Prince Robin, who was waiting in the town, Roger and his party finally went north with ease......
That's weird!
Giles, who was cheated by Roger, returned to Grace City and decisively raised the bounty of Roger and others! The bounty that has been doubled twice is even so high that the adventure groups and mercenary groups to which the Church of the Gods belong are tempted.
As a result, the large army chasing after the butts of Roger and the others changed from Gilles's cavalry to adventurers and mercenaries who were a hundred times more difficult to deal with!
Relying on the strength of Kerr and Rabbit and His Royal Highness the Prince. Roger and his party finally escaped all the way from the siege of adventurers and mercenaries all the way to the northern border of the Wolf Principality.
Because of the strong strength shown along the way, the "Phantom Arrow" and "Phantom Sword" Ranger Sodick incarnated by His Royal Highness Prince Robin is completely famous, and even the rabbit has won the reputation of "Red Lotus Swordsman", as well as Kerr's "Variety Magician".
Sodick, a ranger with the titles of "Phantom Arrow" and "Phantom Sword", is confirmed as a legendary powerhouse of the new generation. And the two burning swords of the rabbit, whose strength has always been at the peak of the twentieth level, are also impressive, and the strange and endless variety of water magics of Kerr, who is known as "Variety", are also eye-opening, and even the Tower of the Nine Rings has a water system great magician who is going to come to apprentice.
Regardless, the journey has finally come to an end.
After a lapse of two months, Roger and his entourage finally came to the border of the Wild Wolf Principality.
Looking at the fortress at the border, Roger confirmed to His Royal Highness Prince Robin again: "Are you sure that the generals of the steppe elves have come outside the border?" ”
His Royal Highness nodded, and was about to activate the Heroic Evidence in his chest, but was stopped by Roger.
"Let me do it!" Roger raised an eyebrow at his eldest brother, "It's always you who are famous, and it's time for us to be in the limelight." ”
The fireball on Roger's shoulder also flicked his tail and nodded at His Royal Highness the Prince.
In the past two months, fighting side by side has made the relationship between Roger and his party a few grades better, at least now Roger dares to joke with his eldest brother Sako.
Without waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to answer, Roger directly activated the evidence of heroism on his body, and the strong force of nature suddenly burst out!
Just like when it was taken down, it takes a lot of time to reactivate the Hero's Proof, and it makes a lot of noise.
Sensing the presence of heroes nearby, the border fortress of the Wild Wolf Principality immediately raised an alarm, and various troops quickly gathered.
But before they could make a move, there was movement outside the border.
Roger could feel that two powerful heroes were rapidly approaching.
