Chapter 221: Three Cavalry Charging Formation (I)
The distance of ten miles was not too far for the horses of Rollin and the Radiant Knight, but in order to save horsepower and for secrecy, the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, which delayed some time, so it took more than an hour to keep up with the dark team.
When they saw their opponents, the Radiant Knights were all taken aback, and Vichy said, "Sure enough, it's an undead, there are so many!" ”
Several of them were hiding in the woods, and through the cracks in the trees, they could see a large group of undead moving silently in the thin mist.
The outermost appearance was ordinary, although the body had begun to decay, but the body was still clothed, judging from the costume, they were all civilians, men and women, old and young, they staggered forward, roughly estimated, the number was more than two thousand.
Inside, there are the undead soldiers. These undead soldiers didn't have much flesh on their bodies, no different from skeletons, they wore simple leather armor and held weapons in their hands, and they numbered at least five hundred.
Compared to the casual rambling of ordinary undead, these undead soldiers are much more neat and orderly.
In the innermost position, there is also a squad of twenty people, these are undead knights.
These cavalrymen were different, and through the gaps in their armor, they could see that they had flesh growing on them, but the flesh was dry and gray, as if it had dried up. These people were riding undead war horses, and they were all bubbling with black gas, and they could feel their strength lightly.
The one in the lead is also an undead knight, the black qi on his body is much thicker, and the battle armor on his body is also much thicker, especially in the middle of his hand, there is a blood-glowing rune on the spine of the sword. Evil and dark magic emanates from the runes, and just looking at it can make people feel uncomfortable all over the body.
After observing for a while, Santos said, "There are no necromancers in the team. That Dark Knight is the boss! In his hand is the rune sword that necromancers are best at refining! It can be equipped with this weapon. He's definitely very strong. ”
From Santos's point of view, this undead knight is indeed called powerful, because the level of the Radiant Knight is around level 28. But from Rollin's point of view, the power of this undead knight leader seems very ordinary.
Zhi Brain sent back the message of the leader.
Innocent (Elite)
Level 33 Dark Knight Boss
Estimated strength: 320
Skill: Rune Thrust, Devour.
Luo Lin was slightly surprised, not because of the opponent's strength and combat skills. Rune Spike and Devouring the Undead are both classic skills of the Death Knight, and Rollin has encountered a lot in his previous life. Not at all. For Rollin, his 320 points of power are no longer in his eyes. As for the other Death Knights. The average level is only 25, which is not terrible.
He was surprised by the guy's name: Innocent.
This guy named Innocent is not simple, and it doesn't look like a big deal now, but he will still grow. If you don't kill it now, in the future, this guy will be the leader of a legion and become a powerful undead at level 39.
This is not a lie, this has already happened once in a previous life. This Innocent is not only strong in his own right, but also quite capable of commanding, and in the confrontation with the Allies, there are at least six Allied Grand Knights who died at his hands.
This is really the elite of the army of the undead.
"Captain, it seems that they are heading in the direction of White Deer Town. What to do? A knight asked.
Less than five miles ahead is White Deer Town, and there are at least a thousand people in that town, and these undead have passed. Needless to say, that town will definitely be as Rollin said, everyone in the town will be destroyed, and all will be transformed into undead.
Santos frowned and gritted his teeth: "We will go back to the north immediately and inform the archbishop of the situation." As for White Hart Town...... We can't save them! ”
There were only five of them. Even with the addition of Lord Rollin, it is six. And there are more than three thousand five hundred undead in front, although most of them have low combat power, but there are still twenty undead knights, they can't be opponents at all, and rushing forward is to send them to death.
As a radiant knight, if you can do it, of course, it is the right thing to do, but in this situation, there is nothing you can do.
It's not that I don't want to save it, but I can't save it.
"But......" Wei Qi wanted to retort, there are so many people in the town, the six of them, if they plan properly, they can at least delay and buy time for the people in the town to retreat.
"No, the big picture is important!" Santos shook his head firmly, the current situation, informing the archbishop that it was important to immediately prepare the corresponding defense in the north.
Vichy tried to speak, but eventually gave up, knowing that Santos had done the right thing. This time, they really couldn't do anything.
But just as the Radiant Knights were about to turn their horses away, Rollin, who had been silent, spoke.
He pointed to the leading Dark Knight in the distance: "That guy is the head, it is said that most of the undead have no intelligence, there must be a commander to restrain them, if we can kill that leader, maybe we can save White Hart Town." ”
"Sir, we are too few of us to succeed." Santos shook his head: "And the letter must be sent back." ”
"I know." Luo Lin smiled slightly: "But it should be enough for two people to send the letter, one to send to the archbishop, and one to Bailu Town, then there are three of you left." If there are three people covering behind my back, I think it's worth a try. ”
The reason why he insisted was not entirely out of good intentions, Luo Lin thought that he was definitely not a good person with great mercy and compassion, if this trip was really dangerous, he would definitely run away immediately, but this opponent was really not strong, and Zhi Brain also gave a task.
Mission Release: Stop the undead army and save White Hart Town.
Reward: 50,000 experience; Charisma +10.
50,000 experience is no more, no less, which is equivalent to a small half of Rollin's upgrade, but the leader charisma is a good thing. Until now,. Rollin's charisma has accumulated 50 points, and this thing is really useful. When training soldiers, he was always able to win the loyalty and love of the other party, saving him a lot of effort.
Moreover, if an elite of the undead army like Innocent does not kill at this time, when will it be?
But the Radiant Knights were silent, in their opinion, following this lord's charge, it was definitely a situation of nine deaths, and there was not much difference between sending them to death. Everyone is afraid of death, and the Radiant Knight is no exception, before he could have left the land in a bright and bright way, but now he has to take a risk, and no one will be willing.
"What? Are you afraid of the darkness? Rollin smiled slightly, but there was already a hint of sarcasm in this smile.
Santos shook his head: "No, it's a senseless sacrifice......"
"Lord, I'll go with you!" A knight opened his mouth and interrupted Santos's words, and it turned out to be the only noble female knight in the team, Vichy, who had no hesitation on her face, turned her horse forward, and followed behind Rollin.
Santos's face turned blue, the female knight's unauthorized actions were simply slapping him in the face, but she did not violate the teachings of the Lord of Light in doing so, and he couldn't refute it, taking a deep breath, Santos nodded and ordered: "Rachels, you go back to the north to report the news!" Aino, you go to Bailu Town to report the news, and let the town's priest lead the militia hall, and the ordinary people will retreat immediately. Rayson, join me in charging behind Lord Rollin! ”
He was the captain, of course, he couldn't retreat, although he was a little timid in his heart, thinking that this was completely sending him to death, but he could only bite the bullet.
At this moment, he felt that these nobles were very annoying, these guys were a little unrealistic and idealistic, whether it was Vichy or Lord Rollin, they were all like this, they could obviously live, why bother with a hot head and force this responsibility on their shoulders?
But when he thought so, Vichy's thoughts were completely reversed, and although she didn't think Santos had done anything wrong, she really looked down on him.
The Knights of Radiance, who are to fight against darkness, cannot watch them kill civilians and remain indifferent.
If you run away and retreat this time, you will definitely feel uneasy for the rest of your life. Rather than this, it is better to fight to the death to make your faith pure and immaculate.
As for Lord Rollin, she thought the fellow was quite good, very heroic, very merciful, merciful, a truly noble knight. To be able to die with such a person this time is not a bad ending.
Rollin could see Santos' dissatisfaction at a glance, but he could understand it, knowing that this was human nature, and no one wanted to die for nothing.
He began to lay out the plan: "Remember, we don't charge directly, it's too dangerous to do so. My plan was to draw out a part of the opposing cavalry and disrupt the formation before starting to really charge. So, there is one person who has to be the bait. ”
"I'll go!" Santos spoke, knowing that the bait was the least dangerous because his horse was fast.
"Okay." Luo Lin nodded: "Wei Zi, Lei Sen, the three of us are hiding next to us, and after the other party's formation is chaotic, we will charge towards the leader with me, and we will succeed or fail!" ”
"Yes!" The two knights nodded together, Vichy's face eager, but Rayson hesitated.
"Alright. We are ready! ”
Santos quietly walked around to the other side of the woods, and when he saw Luo Lin's ready-to-go gesture, he immediately rushed out on his horse, the power of light was full of light, and his whole body was glowing, and he yelled at the undead army: "Evil undead, die!" ”
With a roar, he took off his bow and fired an arrow at one of the Death Knights in the undead army.
"Poof" The dark knight stretched out his sword to block the arrow, but he didn't expect the opponent to shoot the arrow very fast, and another arrow had already flew, hitting his chest at once, and the power of light poured in, burning the body of the death knight, the knight screamed, turned over and fell off the horse.
At this time, Santos stabbed the hornet's nest, and the head of the death knight, LinkedIn Northen, let out a roar: "It's a servant of the evil god, you, you, you, you chase him and kill him!" ”
For a while, some of the ordinary undead, nearly half of the undead soldiers, and eight death knights split up and chased after Santos.
Luo Lin nodded secretly when he saw it, this Innocent is really not an ordinary undead, in the face of this situation, he can still stay calm and maintain his defensive strength, not bad.
However, this is enough, in this way, the defense force around Innocent is half thinner at once, as long as these undead are some distance, that is when they are charging and attacking.
Rollin waited patiently for this moment to come. (To be continued) R580
