Chapter 456: Knights Charge
Before dawn.
Wren, who was meditating in the tent of the camp, opened his eyes, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. The ground shook slightly, with very little amplitude, and it should have come from at least ten miles to the north, and it was not caused by the centaurs in the barracks, which was at least a movement of several thousand people running together.
He got up and walked out of the tent, a small patch of fish belly white just lit up on the eastern horizon, and it was still some time before dawn.
A breath of hot air came out of his mouth, and it disappeared in the cold wind of Congartro.
The barracks stationed in the southwest corner of Kingsland stretched along the banks of the Blackwater River, and groups of centaurs on the night guard patrolled outside the camp, looking at the city wall two miles away, and the guards above were still watching the camp, and everything looked normal.
Wren waved open any door and stepped in, appearing high in the sky.
He glanced into Kingsland City, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Cadegar and Cleos appeared next to them, both of them dangling in the air, apparently aware of the anomaly. The eyes of the three of them fell on the north gate of Kingsland, and at a distance of more than ten miles, under the half-black and half-white dawn, they saw that the drawbridge over the moat had been lowered, and thousands of cavalry riding the gray and white giant wolf rushed out.
"The Knights of the Ice Wolves of the Brandon Family. ”
Wren's brows furrowed slightly, a little confused.
Located in the northern part of Congatro, the Duchy of Brandon is the largest of the Seven Duchies, accounting for a quarter of the entire kingdom, but it is also the coldest, with ice and snow all year round, and most of the area is uninhabitable vast tundra, with a population of less than three million.
From the lords to the commoners, the people of the Principality of Brandon believe in Yuriel, the "God of Winter and the North Wind", and it is rumored that this god was an ice wolf born in the bitter cold land before ascending to the gods, so his followers also called him the "wolf god", with the wolf as the emblem totem.
The harsh environment and the worship of the wolf god have created a strong folk culture in the Duchy of Brandon.
With the smallest population, they have cultivated the largest transcendent legion in Congatro, with nearly 4,000 members of the Ice Wolf Knights, all of whom have fused the blood of the Ice Wolf Wolf, called the "Ice Wolf Swordsman", and each of them has an Ice Wolf companion and regards it as their own brother.
Duke Brandon and Marc had a close friendship and were close friends who grew up together, so they stood firmly by Mark's side, and they were also one of the main promoters of the destruction of the Drogon Fort dynasty back then.
As early as ten days ago, Duke Brandon led the Ice Wolf Knights into Kingsland.
Wren had thought that Marc was going to defend Kingsland and not get out.
Now it seems that Marc does not want to fall into passive defense battles, and seems to want to take the initiative.
The entire Ice Wolf Knights poured out, but that's not all.
There are more cavalry behind these ice wolves, they are riding war horses, the number is about two thousand, judging from the messy equipment and different varieties of war horses, this is not a formed knight order, more like a temporary patchwork of cavalry, as a supplement to the ice wolf knights.
The Ice Wolf Knights went out from the north gate and gathered in the clearing opposite the moat to re-queue. At the same time, there are also a large number of transcendent beings gathering at the west and south gates of Kingsland.
"Is this going to be a decisive battle?"
Wren wondered in his heart, who gave Marc courage?
These more than 5,000 cavalry looked imposing, but they were still at an absolute disadvantage in front of the Dragonborn army, and the centaur army alone could offset them.
The Golden Lions of the Danse family are stationed at the south gate, and this line of defense is difficult to break through.
"Two Speakers, it's time for us to prepare. Wren spoke, turning back through any door. The entire camp has been awakened, the voices are boiling, the horns of centaurs are blowing, and they are rapidly assembling, and the extraordinary legions of the major families are also lining up.
In the middle of the camp, Emily was drowsy because of pregnancy, and her face was still a little relieved and dazed.
But when she saw the three speakers, she suddenly sobered up.
"Wren, two Speakers. Emily said quickly, "Valrogan has just received information from the spies, and Marke's army has all been dispatched, and it seems that they are going to fight us in a decisive battle!"
"I saw it. Wren nodded, "The Ice Wolf Knights and two thousand cavalry are gathering at the north gate, and there are also movements at the west gate and the south gate, and it is possible to open the city gate at any time and kill and besiege from three directions." ”
Emily sneered.
"If Malk relied on Kingsland's Red Dragon Array, it would be more difficult to defeat him, and since he came out on his own, it would be even better. She calmly analyzed: "Our army has the advantage in strength, even if it is a three-sided attack, we are not afraid." ”
"Lifsqing, Dolangqing. ”
Emilys ordered, "You lead the Riverbend Legion, the Serpent Venom Legion, and the extraordinary armies under their respective commands, totaling 6,000 men, to block the South Gate. Remember, don't get too close to the walls and get within range of the Red Dragon Circle, and wait for the enemy to come out before besieging them. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. The two of them answered in unison.
Wren secretly praised Emilys for her thoughtfulness, and the South Gate was the most critical exit, and it was necessary to surround it with the most trusted people.
Needless to say, Duke Fischer was extremely loyal after his surrender, and he fought conscientiously without the slightest double-mindedness, and Prince Dorang Morth arrived with his family army only last night, this Chosen One was a legendary high-ranking snake whisperer, reaching level seventeen, and his strength was slightly inferior to that of Duke Fischer, but his loyalty was even more unquestionable, and he had been serving in secret for many years.
The two legendary lords took their armies and took their orders.
Emilys continued to issue one order after another, and still let the five thousand centaurs in front, in the direction of the south gate, ready to support the Danse family at any time.
Dylan Lauberdir followed behind the centaurs with three thousand transcendents as the last line of defense.
Emilys was left with only half of the Scale Guards and the Wizarding Order, as well as Wren's Spearwing Knights and Ultramarines.
Speaker Kadegar waved his hand to cast a spell, and the image of the north of Kingsland appeared.
The Ice Wolf Knights and two thousand cavalry had assembled, and the Ice Wolves at the front began to advance, and they slowly ran west along the river bank, preparing to cross the river at a location in the northwest corner of Kingsland.
The width of the North River is smaller than that of the Blackwater River, and with the ability of the Ice Wolf Knights, it is easy to freeze a certain section of the river and choose the place that is most beneficial for them to cross the river.
Then, in front of you is a horse Pingchuan, just accelerate to the south and meet the Dragonborn army head-on.
Wren took a look at the flat terrain.
Kangatro is a short season of the year for farming, less than four months, and there are large tracts of farmland outside the west of Kingsland, which have been harvested as early as last month, and the fields are frozen and unobstructed within a hundred miles.
This is an excellent battlefield for cavalry combat, and is best suited for mass charges.
"I let the Knights of the Spear Wing take the lead and break them up. Wren came up with the idea.
The Knights of the Spear Wing claim to be a knighthood, but in fact, their combat mode is not at all the same as that of traditional cavalry.
From the day when machine guns and submachine guns were "invented" by themselves, the vast majority of the knights in the world could be swept into the dustbin of history.
Although this time only one company of spear-winged knights was brought with them, a total of one and fifty people, their combat effectiveness could definitely not be measured simply by numbers. If you don't take into account the enemy's high-end combat power and spellcasters, this company's Knights of the Spear Wing can even sweep through the ground legions of the entire Congatro Kingdom, nothing more than consume some more ammunition and time.
With a single charge, the Knights of the Spear Wing will be able to cut the Ice Wolf Knights in half, leaving the rest to the Golden Lions or Centaurs.
This can greatly reduce your own losses and maximize the results of the battle.
"No!" Emily shook her head unexpectedly, took out her voice sheet and ordered: "Dinglaji, let the Golden Lion Regiment go north to meet the enemy and confront the Ice Wolf Knights head-on." The centaurs would follow them, and Simon would be besieged by Prince Dilan's men. ”
A few seconds later, Din Laj's response rang out: "Yes...... Your Majesty. ”
His voice was hesitant, but he did so.
Everyone looked at Emilys, she didn't hide her thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Whether the Dans family really surrenders depends on this time." The Golden Lions have always claimed to be the First Knights of Congatro, outnumbering the Ice Wolf Knights twice as many as themselves, and this is a good opportunity for them to prove themselves. ”
"What if we lose both?" asked Valrogan.
When he asked, he saw Emily sneering on her face, and immediately understood that losing both sides was not exactly the result she wanted? He sighed in his heart and said worriedly: "I'm afraid Duke Dans will disobey." ”
Emilys said lightly: "The centaur army is closely following the Golden Lion Regiment, if he dares to disobey, then even the Danse family will be equalized." ”
Everyone around her had different faces, and only then did she deeply understand her hatred for the Dans family.
After half a minute, there was no further news from Din Laj.
In the illusion of the spell cast by Cadegar, the camp of the Danse family outside the south of Kingsland City moved, and the Golden Lions began to move, and one by one the Lionheart Knights stepped on their horses and moved north in a queue. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but Duke Danse still accepted the order and showed his loyalty.
Emily raised an eyebrow, a little surprised.
"Count him in general. ”
At this time, the vanguard of the Ice Wolf Knights had already arrived at a river, and hundreds of ice wolves opened their mouths to spew out cold breath, freezing the river surface piece by piece, forming a hundred-meter-wide ice surface in less than half a minute, and the wolves stepped on the thick ice to cross the river.
Once ashore, the Icewolf let out a wolf howl and began to slowly pick up speed.
A few miles away, the warhorses of the Golden Lion Regiment also launched the prelude to the charge.
At the speed of the two knights, it only took less than two minutes to meet each other, at this time, a roar of eagles sounded in the city of Kingsland, and a large group of snow eagles flew into the sky in the dawn, and in just a dozen breaths, hundreds of snow eagles formed a dark cloud and flew towards the camp where Emilys was.
"Snow Eagle Guard!"
Valrogan said quickly: "More than four hundred snow eagles, all of the Etis family has been dispatched. "There are only about six hundred snow eagles in the entire Etis family, and more than two hundred were killed in the Duchy of Lauberdir last time, and the rest are all here.
"Sicarius, go kill them. Wren gave the order.
"Yes, boss!"
The Ultramarines had been riding on the Fire Dragon for a long time, and they had not taken off, just waiting for the Snow Eagle Guard to appear.
With the wind howling, forty-eight fiery dragons soared into the air, facing nearly ten times as many enemies.
"Roaring ......"
A few dragon roars rang out in the sky.
Borchi, Aegon, Galadelos, and Sindara all revealed their true dragon forms, their wings covering the sky and the sun, exuding a terrifying dragon power that swooped down on the more than 400 snow eagles.
This is the strategy set before, the Snow Eagle Guard is handed over to the Extreme Warband and the Dragon, and the Air Force is better off letting the Air Force deal with it.
Dada......
Dense gunfire rang out over Kingsland, and the Ultramarines opened fire first. In just a few seconds, a snow eagle let out a wailing and fell, but this was only the beginning, the range of Rambo's spear far exceeded that of the Eagle Song Hunter, and every second the snow eagle was shot, blood and feathers were spilled all over the sky.
Wren observes the battle in the sky and notices that something is wrong.
There are a few survivors of the last battle in the Snow Eagle Guard, and they must be well aware of the range of Rambo's spear, but they are still fierce and high-speed ultramarines, using the lives of their companions as meat shields, just to be able to close the distance and let the fire dragon and the ultramarines into the range of their bows and arrows.
This requires a huge price, with the firepower of the Fire Dragon and the Ultramarine, it may not be able to rush in front of it, and the Snow Eagle will die.
Not to mention that there are four powerful dragons, and approaching is tantamount to looking for death.
However, the Snow Eagle Guards completely ignored these.
The wings of the snow eagles lit up with white light, and they accelerated their flight, frantically pounced on the ultramarines from different directions, as if they were just trying to see the enemy before they died.
"Don't fight, distance yourself right away. ”
Wren noticed that something was wrong, and although he didn't know what the problem was, he decisively ordered the Ultramarines through Primordial Symbiosis not to easily give the Snow Eagle Guards a distance to contact.
Doing so will affect the effectiveness of shooting enemies, but safety is paramount, and every Ultramariner is precious and cannot be risked.
When the Ultramarines received the order, they immediately let the Fire Dragon activate the "Flame Flutter", and the wings ignited with red flames, and the speed increased dramatically, and they all climbed towards the sky, and instantly flew out of the aerial encirclement of the Snow Eagle Guards, widening the distance to a safe enough distance.
A burst of cyan aura almost grazed the fire dragon's feet and landed in the air.
The alarm bell rang in Wren's heart.
He didn't recognize what kind of spell it was for a while, but judging from the fluctuation of magic power, this was at least a seven-ring spell, and the aura was like a cone, enveloping a huge range, if it weren't for the sudden acceleration of the fire dragon, at least two-thirds of the fire dragon would be hit by the spell.
Wren spotted the caster at a glance.
The other party was hidden on the back of a snow eagle, and his whole body was covered in hazy light and shadow, and the will of truth saw through the light and shadow, revealing a wizard wearing a gray robe and a mask on his face, and the mask had no features on it, and it was impossible to distinguish its origin.
The soul eye cannot penetrate the mask and cannot see the face, but it can see through the soul of the other person.
Legendary high-level, eighteenth-level elemental envoy!
"This man is handed over to me. ”
Kaidejia also saw through the stealth technique of this legendary wizard, snorted, the figure disappeared, and the next second appeared not far from the snow eagle, stretched out his hand, the whole snow eagle exploded into a blood flower, and the eagle song hunter on his back died instantly.
The elemental envoy of unknown origin was forced to appear, his eyes full of fear, and in an instant, an arbitrary door flew in, and the figure disappeared again.
Cadegar flicked his staff and flashed in pursuit.
Two legendary high-level wizards started a spell battle in the sky, and the Snow Eagle Guards lost their protection, and the formation was immediately chaotic, and they were shot by the Ultramarines who took advantage of the range advantage.
To the west of Kingsland City, the Ice Wolf Knights and the Golden Lion Regiment charged in opposite directions, and their speeds reached their respective peaks.
The ground rumbled as if there had been a city earthquake.
The sun in the east showed its head, and the first rays of sunlight shone down, and the two sides in the charge could already see the faces of the enemy, and a tragic collision was about to take place.
At the last moment, the Ice Wolf Knights, who were running at high speed, suddenly separated on both sides, giving way to a passage in the middle.
The Golden Lions passed through unharmed.
