Volume 1 – Showers Chapter 111: The Horn of Counterattack
"Commander! Look, Lord Nostra has killed the last trebuchet of the enemy, but he is trapped by the enemy and can't rush out, and his griffin can't hold on! Christopher Robin exclaimed.
"Do we still have a surplus of Eagle Fighters? Let Master Griffinhardt send them out, and you must save Piaghi! ”
Giver said.
"Sorry, Commander, all the Eagle Fighters have taken to the skies, a small number of lost griffons are serving as archers, and the rest are supporting Lord Nostra. In order to take out the trebuchet, Lord Nostra did not hesitate to risk his life. Christopher replied helplessly, this is their griffon leader, he feels a little difficult to say, but Christopher will still do it if it should be maintained and beautified.
"Damn Piagi! Is this what a commander should do? He's not a charging knight anymore, he's the commander of a unit! I asked him to kill the trebuchet, but I didn't let him kill himself again! On my orders, the gates were opened, and the cavalry charged at all costs to rescue Piagi. Gevilll was furious, his hands clenched into fists.
"What! Commander! Open the gates? The herald shouted in surprise.
"Yes, yes, you heard it right. Open the damn gates! It's about to run out anyway. Rather than wait for it to fall, we would rather open it ourselves, and our cavalry would be able to accelerate from the main road of the fortress for some time. At least ... ”
Before Giver could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a soldier who broke into the lookout: "Sir! General Kona's reinforcements are coming! Visible to the naked eye! Moreover, according to the battle situation from the front, some of the enemy troops have already begun to attack the toxin! ”
"What! It's been a long drought! Bow mushrooms worked! General Jon's reinforcements are here, too! However, I suspect that General Jon must have arrived with the cavalry first. Tell General Jon to rest for a while, and then go out of the city to kill after the second trumpet. Give me a trumpet! After clearing the walls of the city walls, open the gates and clear the way for the cavalry charge. Igniting the wolf smoke, the griffon-led cavalry covers and flanks from the jungle on both flanks! ”
Gvir gave many orders in one breath, and seven or eight heralds and heralds dispersed to give orders, which seemed much more orderly than the previous panic. Giver was very satisfied with the high morale.
The toxins of the Bow Mushroom gradually exploded among the Tangnes army, and the soldiers of Zanmir and Griffin were not at risk of being infected by the poisonous spores of the Bow Mushroom due to the fact that they had previously consumed a meal infused with the juice of the Swing Flower, let alone from contact with the blood and body fluids of the infected.
Many of the Tangnes soldiers suffered from sudden abdominal pain during the fight, and they were weak and dizzy. At first, it was just one or two people bending over and clutching their stomachs in pain, but then the pain intensified. Under the onslaught of other complications, the soldiers of Tangnis fell like wheat. Some of them rolled back and forth on the ground, some foamed at the mouth and passed out, and some were cut down by the entangled soldiers before they could all the symptoms develop.
"The enemy is evil! This is Ella's punishment for the Tangnis mongrel! "Divine punishment, this is divine punishment! God is on our side! Brothers, kill! "From time to time this voice spreads among the soldiers of the Zamir and the griffons.
"There are no gods, everyone is just controlled by fate. Still, it's not bad, it's just poor creatures who don't know. Forget it, it's not bad, it's finally boosted morale, right? Luke. Pete wiped the blood from Rook's dagger and muttered to himself.
"Violeta, how are you resting?" Old Griffinhardt asked, riding on his griffin, but in an imperative rather than a question.
"My lord! Alas... Well, I know, go get our young Piagge back, right? Violetta was reluctant.
"Yes, you guessed it right, Violeta. After all, there is no way to do it, Piagge is the person I am going to leave for Luke, it is a pity that he is dead now, but I will have to beat this young man more in the future. Courage is good, but as a knight his courage is unmatched, and as a commander he behaves stupidly. I'm not too comfortable leaving such a Piagge to Luke. Old Griffin Hart said regretfully.
Violetta didn't speak, but mounted her broomstick and flew in the direction where Piagi Nostra was besieged. Some of the Targanis archers saw a witch on a broomstick flying towards them and fired at Violeta. Violetta drew her wand from her collar and waved it, and all the wind seemed to come alive. Some of the arrows that were clearly lacking in strength were blown away by the air currents that swirled around Violeta's body, while those that were powerful and fast were dodged by Violeta's ornate broomstick manipulation skills.
While dodging enemy attacks, Violetta attacks with her wand. She doesn't just fly at high altitudes, sometimes, she also flies with her broom very low or even close to the ground. Best of all, she was forced down from the air by a powerful arrow fired from an enemy army, and she slipped close to the ground to dodge the stabs of two spearmen, before two ice blades slashed their necks.
When Violetta was back in the air, their heads fell to the ground with incredible expressions. The incision in their neck was smooth and neat, leaving not even a trace of ice ballast.
Violetta didn't take action against the Tangnis soldiers who had been poisoned by the bowing mushroom venom, he only shot at the ones who were asymptomatic. After all, her purpose was to save Piagge from the enemy's encirclement. Earlier, on the broomstick, she could clearly see Piaghi's griffon lying on the ground, unable to even struggle. Piaghi, as an eagle fighter, loses 70% of his strength without the griffin. When surrounded, Piaggi's superb archery skills could not be used at all.
The non-commissioned officer of this group of Tangnis soldiers was shrewd, and in the face of the commander of a hawk fighter, he did not give the order to rush up, but ordered the soldiers to compress Piagi's range of movement step by step. When the griffin beneath Piagi didn't even have room to turn, Piagi's archery skills were completely ineffective, and he could only draw his sword and swing it left and right.
However, although Piagi was brave, he forced back the besieging enemy troops several times, and even killed more than a dozen people. But that's about it. The enemy's non-commissioned officer ordered the spearmen to stab the griffin one by one, but the griffin's sharp claws had no effect in the face of such an attack. When the griffin fell to the ground, the Tangnis began to use the same method against Piagi again.
This tactic reminded Violetta of coyotes. This kind of eternally hungry group predator uses this bloodletting style to drain the physical strength and blood of the prey. When the enemy is exhausted, eat the prey alive.
Violetta shuddered at the thought of this, she didn't like the way this stinky thing ate and the hunting tactics. However, the enemy's encirclement net was very dense. The enemy has a cunning commander, this non-commissioned officer is very powerful, and he fires arrows that are very threatening and at tricky angles. The arrows he fired repeatedly pushed Violetta back from the sky, and each time it came from the afterglow of Violeta's eyes.
Violetta tried to find the commander and decapitate him, but it wasn't easy. She had to maintain a high-speed flight in order to survive in front of such a team. However, she saw that the enemy was not going to kill Piagzi for the time being. She understood that it was a decoy—a bottomless decoy. As long as Piagge doesn't die, there will be a constant rush to the rescue - unless their commander abandons him.
It's embarrassing. If you send a small number of troops, you will not win, and if you send a large number of troops, it will destroy the formation, involve energy, and will also affect the overall situation. The only advantage option is to send a few skilled men into the encirclement and then kill them out, or rescue them from the air.
Therefore, this small battlefield that is insignificant compared to the overall situation has become a millstone, a millstone that consumes flesh and blood. Perhaps, Piagi's ability to take out those trebuchets was a deliberate attempt by the enemy's commander to lure the commander of the Eagle Fighter to lead the charge himself.
Violetta herself applies this tactic, and at a very young age she learned to make a small flying insect trap with a little glowing magic and the secretions of Happy Leaf. The soft glimmer of magic combined with the warm heat and the special aroma of the Happy Leaf attracted the little flying insects. They were cautious at first, but as the trap swayed, they gradually lost their breath - there was always a poor little thing covered by her little cloth bag, and then placed on the plates on which the other boys were eating. When the boys were so frightened that they cried, she laughed triumphantly and flicked her fingers at their heads.
Violetta felt angry, she felt like she was in this tactic, except that Piagge was the secretion of those happy leaves, and she herself was the poor little thing about to be covered in a net.
She has always been the only one who plays with others, how can she accept others humiliating her? Yes, she thought it was a humiliation, and it made her seem so pitiful, so weak—like women who can't control their own destiny.
In this life, she has only suffered one thing, and that is losing to Lena Vance in a love duel. Since then, she has sworn that no one can underestimate her - this is a woman who always has to take advantage of the situation and then balance the situation.
"Humph! Good tactics! She sat on her broomstick and tapped her throat with her wand, and her voice resounded throughout the area. The decoy tactic, which is often used by hunters – is also what they love to use. The commander of this brigade was originally a hunter, right? Then you must also know what the consequences of using decoy tactics are when you encounter truly powerful beasts and monsters. ”
"What do you mean by that witch, Sir?" An archer asked.
"This means that when you use bait tactics against a beast that is too much of your ability, the only consequence is that not only will the bait be eaten, but you will also lose your trap. If it's a haughty predator, he'll taunt you, but if you provoke it, the hunter will become prey. ”
As he spoke, he saw Violetta rise to a very high height—a height that an arrow would never reach. She didn't know what spell she was chanting, and a burst of fiery mana poured out from all around her, gradually enveloping her broom and her whole body.
"Damn! We've her off, and I don't think it's a good thing! Abandon the bait and retreat everyone! Everyone retreats at once! Dlux yelled frantically, and then ran away.
Piaghi saw Violeta's actions and was so frightened that he immediately threw away his sword. Knowing this, he felt that it was useless to run, so he hurried to find his griffon corpse, and brought a few more words about the corpse of the Tanganis soldier, hiding himself well underneath to avoid being swept away by the powerful shockwave. The corpse was able to withstand the temperature of the flames in the center of the magic, and what the Tangnis didn't know was that the real horror was the shockwave of the magic.
"Pay the price. Flame Fall. ”
