Chapter 2: Champion Charge

Dust, dust from the sky flew over the vast plains. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The Lucian cavalry at the forefront had raised their speed to the highest - the heavy cavalry charged forward in an invincible formation. Neither the surrounding obstacles nor the enemy could hinder their footsteps in the slightest, let alone change their course.

Their speed, posture, and momentum like a torrent of steel are all expounding a few words: mighty, powerful, and never going back! Whenever they appeared on this battlefield, the morale of the Lucia Kingdom army would rise, because they believed that under this invincible iron horseman, nothing could stop the Lucian Kingdom's army.

In fact, after the Knight of Ovaltine saw the champion cavalry regiment of Nalucia for the first time, even with his strength, he couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for the army he led.

The name of the champion cavalry regiment of the Kingdom of Lucia means that these riders have won at least the cavalry tournaments held by the nobles of the baron rank.

In various riding competitions, in order to win the favor of the noble lady or a large prize, these riders have played countless boring games of charging at each other on a narrow field and then stabbing each other in the chest with long poles. After countless such grinds, their marksmanship often becomes extremely proficient.

Of course, this is also like a screening, and the weaker members are either killed on the spot or later withdrawn from the ranks due to injury. The best of the best formed a champion cavalry regiment in each of the military districts of the Kingdom of Lucia.

This makes it possible to look at the entire Western Continent, except for the human cavalry of the Lucia Kingdom, the cavalry of no other race or country can reach this level in large numbers. Lucia also relied on these formidable cavalry forces to outperform most nations—after all, formal knights, though powerful, were few in number. The appearance of this ace army also represents the determination of the Lucian people.

With the strength of the Ovaltine Knight, as long as he chooses to retreat, those champion riders will indeed not be able to stop him. But this time, it was not only the Ovaltine knights who were raided by that group of cavalry, but the three of them. Even if they robbed Barrett and ran, what would they do if there were still more than a hundred Bolemm cavalry alive? Not to mention the caravans that move together.

It was precisely in the face of this kind of enemy that the Boreham Rangers, who were originally skilled in archers and horses, had to humiliately abandon their hedging plan with the enemy, and instead used the carriages brought by the Boreham caravans to form a formation to protect themselves.

The plates are painted with fire-retardant paint and are connected from end to end. Finger-thick metal clasps form heavy, sturdy chains that reinforce the plates with iron bars that allow them to withstand stronger impacts and more slashes. The X-shaped iron ribs shine with their own unique metallic luster on this black charcoal-like wooden board.

Just as the cavalry were within 50 feet of the formation, a stream of filthy mud suddenly poured out of the ground, enveloping the area in front of them.

The sorcery covered the ground with an acidic slime as thick as mud. The slurry is sticky, and it takes at least twice as much effort to advance into any area with corrosive bore effects. Additionally, for every 5 feet of a mob that has a corrosive mire effect entered, it takes 1-6 Acid damage. Mobs that stand on the Corrosion Mire and don't move will also take 1-6 Acid damage for 6 seconds.

The 20-foot radius of the corrosive mire was the greatest help Rielly had provided right now—in fact, she hadn't learned the spell herself, and it was the Rangers' pre-prepared inventory that was working now. The 20-foot radius of the prototype area was not large, and the champion knights who could not bypass it immediately pulled the reins and leaped on their horses.

But what awaited the riders was the real trap - the second Corrosion Swamp appeared under the horses' hooves almost as soon as they landed, and in an instant the horses let out a series of neighing sounds. Their casualness slowed down - but even at this time, the riders were able to control the horses and gallop forward. That riding skill really deserves the word 'champion'.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The loud sound was accompanied by the shaking of the carts, which was the impact of the cavalry on the cart formation. Fortunately, the strengthened array was able to withstand the impact of the corrosive mire - but there were still people who were bleeding from the sharp tips of the rifles, and there were still people who were knocked off the carriage and trampled into flesh by the horses' hooves.

"A hundred yards ahead, intensive shooting!" This was the order from an observer behind a low wall in the middle of the formation. This was followed by a "buzz! Airplanes! Airplanes! The bowstring vibrates with "Whoosh! Sou! Sou! The bolt of the crossbow broke through the air.

The dense rain of arrows is like a missile with eyes, and under the guidance of observers, it means to shoot wherever it is -- this is the result of the policy of giving priority to quality and elite troops. What's more, with the scroll activated by the Mimic, the number of these arrows doubled out of thin air after flying away from the formation.

The success of this precise coverage strike created a noticeable gap between the vanguard units that had already made contact with the Rangers and their own follow-up units.

Blood flowers burst out, and cone-shaped crossbow arrows fell densely from the sky. "Tuk! Sincere! The sound of the bolt digging into the ground rang out, and the arrow plunged deep into the ground, splattering tiny clods of dirt and dust.

Also under this rain of arrows, "Huh! Laugh at! The sound of the armor being pierced kept coming to mind. And with "Poof! Burst! The sound of metal entering the flesh, the Lucia soldier in the charge looked so fragile in front of the powerful crossbow arrow.

The ground was already scarlet, and the screams came and went. The rest of the soldiers suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and they all bypassed this forbidden area of life.

This made the offensive of the Lucia Kingdom suddenly become a little weak. The offensive that should have been like a surging tide wave after wave was vividly cut out by a rain of arrows in the middle.

And the group of soldiers on the carriage held halberds more than one person high, and they also fought with these Lucia cavalrymen who were the first to contact in front of them.

The height of the body makes up for the distance between the horse's back and the ground, and the difficulty of exerting force is also inseparable from the cavalry on horseback and the infantry standing on the wooden plank.

However, after the initial failure of the assault, the cavalry lost their charge and replaced it with a sword. It was already destined that they would not take advantage of anything in this confrontation with the halberders.

It's not just a long weapon like a halberd. Whether it's a heavy weapon like a two-handed greatsword; or a shield in one hand, and a one-handed sword or flail in the other; There are also a large number of users in the car array. Their job is to make up for the blind spots that long weapons can't reach.

There is a clear division of labor between the various weapons, and each person participates in the battle with the type of blade that he is best at. The key to effectively killing the enemy on this front lies in overall coordination, and orders and prohibitions are enforced.

The spear and shield, long and short, are closely combined, giving full play to the effectiveness of various weapons. After dismounting, the Rangers of Boram were like parts in a giant meat grinder, frantically harvesting the lives of the Kingdom of Lucia.

Soon, however, the situation was broken in favor of the Boreham Rangers. The 'great white sharks' that lurked among the fish finally showed their sharp teeth like the world.

The sudden acceleration of the run allowed them to quickly overtake their comrades beside them. The powerful force easily pushes away all the creatures that stand in front of him.

Then one of them leaped over the breastwork and rushed to the board - broke through, was breached! The defensive line of Boreham Territory was breached one after another on Lucia's side under the raids of those elite officers.

The huge body of the other party seemed clumsy, but in fact, the heavy blades in their hands, whether it was a giant axe or a large sword, were extremely delicate and imposing when wielded. I don't know if it's because of the ethnic style or local characteristics, this group of elites in the army of the Lucia Kingdom are all five big and three thick, not to mention that their bodies are like a low wall.

What's more, the swiftness of these guys is a huge contrast to their size. I saw that they left the horse's back and exerted force under their feet, and their steps changed, and their figures changed suddenly. The blades danced in the air, staggered in an instant. Before many soldiers in Bolim's territory could respond adequately, they broke their weapons in two, and their entire lives lost their luster.

"The pikes are out of line, stabbed. The shield group retreats. With such a shout, the chill of that bit was like a poisonous snake bypassing the opponent's attack and taking the head of the opponent - at the moment when the man with the two-handed greatsword had not had time to taste the results of his battle, the five huge and incoherent spear flowers that were quickly shot out had bloomed at the same time. The dazzling white arc of light took his life like a devastating one.

At the same time, the warrior who was originally on the carriage with a weapon for short- and medium-distance soldiers retreated one after another. And on the flat ground, the spear of the pole followed the pace of his master's advance, and launched an offensive against the first line of defense, which had almost been lost. The sonorous and determined steps of these pikemen and the unmistakable shouts of the pikemen were so striking in the chaos of the battlefield.

Under the dazzling sun, the tip of the spear glowing with cold light is truly like a snow-white wave rushing forward. The neat movements formed after thousands of tempering were like a brilliant silver-white training, exuding a fierce murderous aura towards the enemy soldiers who kept crossing the car formation.

However, in the face of more and more enemies, the Boreham commanders, who were almost unable to use the advantageous line of defense of the board cart for a short time, finally tasted the power of the crowd tactic.

Although he had just used his weapon to completely bring down an enemy, in the blink of an eye, two more people had climbed over the low wall of carriages and planks.

But even so, the low wall was still doing its job - it effectively blocked the passage of Lucia's soldiers, and even more so to isolate the impact of their proud cavalry troops on the other side of the wall. As a commander, Knight Bapti knew it was time to open a hole card. The long sword in his hand waved loudly: "The first and second phalanxes squat down to avoid."

"Boom......" came the dull sound of the bowstring trembling. On the metal ballista, arrows the size of spears turned into black rainbow light and rushed out. The spear-like arrows were sharp and sharp, shimmering with the coldness and coldness of metal.

The Lucia soldiers, who had just climbed over the low wall and had not yet gained a firm foothold, suddenly had their hairs raised. The veteran, who was crawling on the battlefield and going back and forth in the pile of dead people several times, felt a chill rise from the tail vertebrae. It was as if a sharp sword hung above his head, and a terrifying sense of crisis filled his heart.

"Bang......" A dull sound sounded, and arrows more than three feet long pierced the wooden low wall before everyone could react. The sturdy ebony walls clicked like tofu, leaving only large holes the thickness of bowls.

Some soldiers were shot in the head, and the blood mist exploded; Some soldiers were cut off at the waist and separated from each other, and although some were only lightly rubbed, a large piece of flesh and blood was also taken down from their bodies - it can really be said that what a "miserable" word!

In the end, before everyone could react, the arrow was plunged into the distant earth. The tail of the arrow that exposed the earth swayed and trembled, making a buzzing and vibrating sound.

If you observe it from the air, this densely populated battlefield looks like it has been "cultivated" by an iron plough and has been swept away by a huge monster with its own claws, and it is really bloodstained. Within this range, any soldiers of the Lucia Kingdom who did not have time to dodge were all flying in the screams.

However, the great power means that the reload shot is slow. The hand-held light crossbow can also be multi-handled by one person, and there is a clear division of labor between winding and shooting. But even with its compact design, the large Salem merchant group would not have been able to take the attitude of the large Boreham merchant group - even if they wanted to strengthen their own defense capabilities during the war, they had to consider the perception of the regime near the trade route.

So much so that after this round of thunderous blows, the necessary wait had to be made. In daily life, this time is not short, but it is not long. But on this battlefield, any fleeting fighter plane may decide life and death.

Fortunately, at this moment, a fireball suddenly fell in the crowd in front of the convoy, and then the smoke rising from the corrosive mire was instantly ignited, further enhancing the power of the fireball. As the raging orange-red heat wave continued to roll in, the Lucian cavalry in the vicinity was not dismounted. Whether it was the champion rider who took the lead or the auxiliary cavalry later.
