405 Turtle in an urn

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The person who appeared in the rear of the cavalry was naturally Gordon.

Royance was a good soldier, and during the march, he would naturally send scouts to reconnoiter the surrounding environment in case of ambushes. However, as a mage, Gordon's concealment methods are incomprehensible and unrevegnable to those Aldrich cavalry who do not know how to spell.

If there were mages in the cavalry - in fact, if it was a regular imperial ** regiment, any hundred team would have to be equipped with a field mage, this would not have happened.

However, the well-equipped Aldrich cavalry used to deal with weak indigenous tribes, and they did not need the cooperation of the caster to achieve their goals, so they have always operated in a pure cavalry configuration.

And this habit, which seemed completely normal in the past, will today make Royanst suffer a lot.

At this time, the cavalry of the Aldrich family, with their shields held aloof, approached on foot to a distance of about a hundred meters from the temporary fortifications. The soldiers who did not join the turtle formation, but swept around in the form of skirmishers, appeared the lone figure that appeared behind them.

"Captain, look!"

When Royanst heard the cry, he looked behind him and saw Gordon's cunning.

"Damn, it's the mage!" Royanst said viciously. He didn't ask "Why Gordon. Freeman would appear in the rear of the troops." Because there are so many ways for a mage to be able to do this. The question now is whether to go on the offensive or to give up just for the sake of one person. Retreat back.

There was not much time left for Royance on the battlefield. Braving the rain of arrows from the redstone guards and the occasional few rudimentary attack spells, Rojest only thought for a moment before deciding: "Retreat!" The siege team, carrying ladders, retreated first. The others took cover, and then, in two teams, retreated in an orderly manner. Let's get rid of that pesky mage first. ”

Killing them outright or capturing them is one of the options. Since Gordon wanted to throw himself into the net, Royanst would not be polite.

His choice is a bit conservative, but it is considered from a prudent point of view. There is nothing wrong with that.

Having dealt with the Aldrich twin siblings, Royxest knew that mages could use a particular spell in certain situations. can change the tide of battle. If you ignore Gordon and continue to attack, then after attacking under the city wall, the opponent only needs to cast a "soft mud technique". Suddenly transform the solid earth under your feet into soft, damp mud. will cause yourself big trouble.

When the time comes, the iron-clad foot cavalry will sink all the parts below the knee into the dirt as soon as they step on it, and how can they set up ladders and attack?

The Aldrich cavalry began to retreat in an orderly manner. Although in the process, they left a few corpses behind, and some cavalry were wounded, but they were harmless.

If there is sanity. Seeing the murderous retreat of the cavalry of nearly 500 people, he should definitely choose to avoid the front for the time being. But Gordon did the opposite. He activated the flying spell inside the Eagle Feather Boots. Then take off into the air.

"Hey, Captain, that idiot mage is underestimating us!" Seeing this, the adjutant of the cavalry said to Rojest gloatingly.

The cavalry captain's face, which had remained unchanged like a rock for thousands of years, also showed a contemptuous smile at this time: "Does he think that our Aldrich family cavalry team, like their counterparts in the empires in the north, will only charge on horseback as an attack method?" ”

"Lads, take out your javelins and prepare to teach that lonely lord a good lesson!" Royanst said.

"Oh!"

The cavalry who gradually withdrew from the range of the crossbows of the Redstone Guard, and the cavalry, whose defensive pressure had plummeted, roared in unison.

King of Hayven Abel. Aldrich was born as a pirate, and this elite cavalry team founded by him naturally bears some traces of piracy. One of the weapons they were equipped with was a pirate - the javelin.

When fighting on foot, these Aldrich cavalry usually use long swords and large shields as weapons, but on the back of the shields, four short javelins are hung as their means of long-range attack.

The horse can charge, the horse can attack, can be hand-to-hand combat, can also be long-range attack, "all-round", is the representative label that the King of Hyperven put on when building this elite army.

Gordon flies in the air. When he saw the Aldrich cavalry on the ground draw a javelin from behind their shields and aim it at themselves in the air, he immediately reacted.

He immediately instantaneously took a "protective arrow".

The force was strong, and the whistling sound that was not at the same level as the arrow came quickly. The cavalrymen, who had been trained to have excellent arm strength, threw javelin after javelin at Gordon. The mage did not dodge, but continued to move forward until the distance between the two sides was about fifty meters away.

Looking at the protective shield that was getting thinner because of being hit by the javelin, Gordon estimated the time and said silently: "I can hold on." ”

Then, he took out a staff from the dimensional pouch.

It was not the Nesser Staff he was used to, but another "Architect's Staff" that he bought at a great deal of money when he was in the Imperial Capital.

Gordon had prepared a total of four of these staffs, which were originally intended to be used to build mage towers or to repair and strengthen his territory. Today, however, in the special terrain of the Isthmus of Cork, it can be of great use, easily annihilating the most elite troops of the proud King of Hywen in one fell swoop.

As he recited the command, the earthy Architect's Staff in his hand immediately began to glow with a yellowish-brown magical aura, as if dust and wet earth were swirling around the staff.

He was condescending, braving a continuous javelin attack, pointing down with his staff.

An earthen wall about 100 meters wide that stretched across the entire Isthmus of Cork began to rise.

This miraculous scene stunned the cavalry of the Aldrich family, and many of them even forgot to attack. Holding a javelin, he holds a throwing posture, like a living sculpture.

"What's going on!" Royanst couldn't believe his eyes. Someone was able to build a city wall in the blink of an eye with his own strength.

He heard that it was called Gordon. Count Hyven of Freeman. is a five-ring mage. And the twin young masters of the Aldrich family are also five-ring mages. Rogenst, who had seen the strength of Hensel and Greda, didn't believe that he was a fellow five-ring mage, why was there such a big gap in strength!

But the reality had to make him believe it.

Don't look at Gordon just using the magic prop of the "Architect's Staff" to create this earthen wall, and think that this is just a trick by external force.

Actually, how to use a magic item. And to fully unleash its strength, for a spellcaster, it is also a subject that cannot be ignored.

In "Ancient Era". "Using a magic device" is also a skill.

Casters who invest more in this skill will be able to use more powerful magic devices and will be less likely to fail. If you want to use an artifact, you'll have to put a lot of effort into it. Other than that. The same magic device. A person with a high skill in using magic devices will be able to wield more power than a person with a low skill.

Although Gordon did not deliberately invest in this skill, he still accumulated level 15 skills by reading various books through Guò with the advantages brought by the system. Therefore, when he uses the Architect's Staff, he can quickly cast the spells stored in the staff, and do what he wants. Molded into an earthen wall that blocked all the enemy's retreats.

While the elite cavalry of the Aldrich family were shocked by Gordon, the Freeman soldiers were located on the earthen wall in the distance. but put on a commonplace look. Xie Ona sharpened the blade with a whetstone while quietly bowing her head and contemplating something. The five retainers were chatting leisurely together, as if the battle between one man and five hundred men not far away had nothing to do with them.

Sigrid was surprised by the leisurely, wild-like atmosphere. Impatient, she couldn't help but run over and ask, "Are you still spending time here?" Isn't the most important thing to do now to go to the aid of Lord Count Freeman? No matter how powerful he is, he can't deal with a full five hundred elite cavalry! ”

Chuck, who is now the captain of the Freeman family guard, saluted the female knight before saying slowly, "Don't worry, Miss Sigrid. Other mages may not be able to deal with five hundred elite cavalry alone, but our lord can—under certain conditions, of course. ”

Chuck didn't realize that his tone was imitating Gordon, and he continued, "You may still have doubts in your heart. But for those of us who have experienced the brutal war between the Orcs in High Rock City, and those of us who have witnessed how the Lord has created one miracle after another, it is a matter of course for the Lord Lord to destroy these cavalry of the Aldrich family. ”

"Please wait and see. Our job is to clean up the mess for a while. "Yang Qi. Sharp Ear added.

With that said, Sigrid had to suppress the urge in her heart and continue to watch the battle from the city walls. There's no way she's going to get out on horseback alone.

At this moment, the female knight saw that Gordon was moving again.

The staff that had been depleted by the mage** technique suspended in the air was casually thrown away, and then a new staff of the architect was taken out of the dimensional bag.

He did this because after the initial shock, Roxest came to his senses and gave the most correct order: "Stop the attack, immediately climb over this earthen wall, and retreat!" ”

The battle-hardened cavalry commander knew very well that Gordon's sudden creation of this wall that blocked his entire retreat was definitely not just for the sake of shock. He wanted to block the entire 500-strong army in the narrow area of the Isthmus of Cork, and then ......

Although he didn't know what method the other party would use, the thought of that mage wanting to annihilate a whole five hundred people on his side, Royanst, a ruthless butcher who didn't know how many people's blood had on his hands, shuddered in his heart. He made a quick decision and gave the order to retreat.

Although it is the elite cavalry of the Aldrich family, it is now the strongest army in the entire Haiwen Peninsula. It is indeed a very humiliating thing to retreat without a fight, and to be frightened by a mage and flee. Maybe when you go back, you will be scolded by the King of Hyven and punished for missing the fighter.

However, this result is at least a hundred times better than the total annihilation of the army and the loss of life.

Gordon didn't expect that Royancest, a group of proud generals with the aura of "the strongest army on the Haiwen Peninsula", would be so decisive in admitting to evacuate. He could only take out an architect's scepter again.

At the chanting of the incantation, the arcane power contained in the staff was unleashed again. It acts on the earth beneath your feet. With a loud rumbling noise and a magnificent dusty landscape, the earthen wall that Gordon had just built suddenly rose four meters upwards. The whole reached a height of eight meters.

The foot cavalry of the Aldrich family, who had just set up the improvised siege ladder on the city wall, looked at the earthen wall that grew high like bamboo shoots after the rain, and first stood on the spot, and then cursed.

Even Royancest. was also forced by this sudden change to almost fall into a state of rage.

"Ahh He roared. With blood-red eyes, he stared at the mage floating in midair.

Because Xie Ona led everyone to build the earthen wall that blocked the cavalry's southward passage was only four meters high, so in order to hurry, Royanst only ordered his subordinates to hurry up a batch of simple siege ladders five meters long. He felt that the margin of one meter he had left was enough.

After Gordon used the first Architect's Staff to raise an earthen wall about four meters high, Rojest was shocked. Although there was vigilance in my heart, I didn't have much sense of crisis. Still thinks that the battle is under their control. Because the tools in his hands are enough to pass through the obstacles created by the mage, guò, and escape safely.

But when Gordon used a spell to raise the earthen wall to eight meters again, Rojest was desperate to see that his siege ladders had become waste because they were not long enough.

With a wild roar, Royanst temporarily suppressed the manic emotion in his heart. He saw that Gordon began to chant the incantation again, preparing to cast the next spell, and knew that if he didn't hurry up and find a way, then the entire five hundred people would really have to be completely explained to the Isthmus of Cork.

The captain of the cavalry carefully looked at the earthen wall in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Quick, soldiers, take up your weapons, use them as hoes and start digging hard, the soil is very soft and not strong, and our siege ladder is not long enough, then dig a path with your hands!" ”

Gordon heard Royanst's shout in mid-air, and he couldn't help but admire the other party a little. In such a succession of setbacks, he was still able to keenly capture the favorable conditions in the environment, which is indeed remarkable.

It is easy and quick to create earthen walls using the "Clay Sculpting" stored in the Architect's Staff, but the downside is that the strength of such walls is very low, and they can be easily destroyed by external forces.

But how could Gordon not take this into account?

The cavalry on foot had already begun to dig frantically as if they had been frightened, and the earthen walls were soon gnawed into dents by various tools, and if no measures were taken, it would not be long before they were dug through.

Gordon unhurriedly took out five scrolls from the dimensional bag.

"Sure enough, it's good to have money, you can squander it casually, and the five-ring magic scroll can be taken out and used in five or five pieces." Gordon crackled the sheepskin scroll in his hand before he began to chant the incantation.

The Aldrich cavalry dug through the walls like marmots, but Gordon was quicker at extracting spells from magic scrolls.

"Turn mud into stone."

Gordon raised his hand and pointed at it, and the magic energy shot into the earthen wall. The original yellow-brown wall, a section of the spell, instantly turned into a gray color.

The foot cavalry who were digging hard in this section, the long sword used as a hoe in their hands, suddenly hit the hard object, making a crisp sound of "gong", and even burst out of sparks.

The soldiers, whose arms were numb by the force of the feedback, were surprised to see that the soft and loose yellow-brown soil in front of them suddenly turned into a hard and dense rock.

"What's going on?"

There are so many incredible things that have happened today that these soldiers can only respond with such weak questions.

A series of "banging" sounds rang out. The cavalry on foot, who were digging their heads, kept encountering the same thorny problem: an entire section of the fragile earthen wall improvised by spells had been completely reduced to a solid stone wall.

Every time I responded, I was called Gordon. Freeman's mage was completely cracked, and Roxest was already in a state of panic. The self-confidence in his heart that he had accumulated because of years of victory had completely collapsed today, at this very moment.

"Captain, what are we going to do?" The adjutant asked anxiously.

Even though Gordon had not yet begun to attack in earnest, these cavalrymen were already keenly aware of the impending danger.

The subordinate's questioning brought Royance back to reality from his stunned state. He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Since there is no way to retreat, let's attack." The way to life lies ahead! The mage thought that he could play with us with careful preparation and careful planning, but we had to tell him the truth that in war, things that cannot be controlled can happen at any time! ”

Gordon saw that the cavalry under his feet had picked up the siege ladder again and began to attack forward: "Once again, the cavalry commander made the most correct choice. But even if he tried to fight in a desperate situation, he was doomed to fail. ”

Having trapped the best cavalry under the command of the King of Hyven, Gordon finally began to attack.

He pulled out a vial of Essence Poison from his mage's robes and began chanting the incantation. (To be continued......)
