Chapter 24: The Knight

Many times, the balance of victory and defeat will tilt for unexpected reasons, as is the case now. Originally, the guards and cheeses in the camp had been overwhelmed by the huge number of cavemen, but because of the appearance of this unexpected team, the morale on the battlefield was instantly different. For experienced fighters, this is often the beginning of a game-changer. The gradually high morale was directly reflected in the combat ability of the soldiers, and the originally passive situation began to change, and the battle on the camp wall quickly subsided, and everyone on the battlefield turned their attention to those sudden fighters.

"There's a big guy killed!with only a sword!it's a knight!," Jack shouted. He saw with his own eyes that the vanguard of that team had used a single sword to cut off the head of a caveman man. Although this is due to the inertia of horsepower, killing the opponent's leader with a single sword in a melee requires the striker to have a good grasp of all aspects such as speed, strength and angle of the shot, and there is no doubt that only specially trained knights can do this calmly.

As we all know, knights and cavalrymen are different, or they have nothing in common except that they both have mounts. A knight not only has to train swordsmanship, but also to learn how to skillfully control his mount, although other classes often ridicule that the knight who loses his horse is just a little infantryman, but as long as the knight is on horseback, their superb combat skills are enough to make them play several times the value of other troops. Combined with the different weapons they are equipped with according to the needs of the battle, they have a terrifying impact that ordinary cavalry cannot match.

However, compared to cavalry or other types of troops, the real knight training is very long and arduous, and this is also accompanied by high expenses, whether it is the breeding of war horses, special knight armor, or spears, knight swords and other special combat weapons, the high combat power of knights is directly proportional to the difficulty of their training. Therefore, even in the entire kingdom of the blue lion, there will be no more than three hundred knights with the title of knight who can be supported, and they often appear on the battlefield as the vanguard of the warband or the blade that reverses the defeat, playing a decisive role. As such an ace class, it's hard to imagine appearing in a cave in the Dragonspine Mountains.

"The sword and hammer symbol is the Knights of the Hammer!"

As the knights approached, the symbols on their banners could be recognized, and the knights' swords and warhammers crossed on a blood-red background told their identities, the Knights under the Archduke of Hammer, the owner of the Duchy of Hammer and one of the closest people to the center of power in the Greylion Kingdom. Although the territory is not bordering, this does not prevent the Frost Guardians from recognizing their insignia, after all, as the second largest knight order in the kingdom, the Knights of the Hammer are second only to the Kingdom Knights of the Greylion Kingdom.

This was the first time Cheese had seen a knight in the secular world, and although he had seen the word knight in various documents or even novels, the mage had truly seen the most desirable warrior of his time. Dressed in full knightly armor painted in bright red oil paint, and even the horses under their crotches were draped in a layer of light armor, these warriors resembling iron cans were like killing machines, and with only thirty men, they rushed through the far outnumbered enemies, and for the cavemen who lacked a spear to form a weapon, these knights' defenses were simply desperate. Due to the distance of the opponent, these knights did not use the same signature cavalry spear, but used a one-handed broadsword to fight, although the one-handed sword is lacking in strength compared to the two-handed sword, but the horsepower of the knight makes up for the lack of weapon weight, not to mention, these cavemen are basically naked, with flesh and blood against the blade, the consequences can be imagined.

"Oh my God, I'm not mistaken! The gods are above, is it Lord Heather who rushes to the front?" The exclamation of the "monkey" instantly attracted the attention of the others, if the appearance of the Knights of the Hammer brought hope, then the female knight who rushed to the front gave people the feeling of shock.

The swordsmanship like flowing water, simple and deadly, the quick moves and receivings are suffocating, and the long sword in the female knight's hand is like a poisonous snake in the desert, swallowing death and thirsting for blood. And her tacit cooperation with the war horse also made it difficult for the enemy's attack to touch the corners of his clothes, this knight with a cluster of red mane on the top of the helmet was like a Valkyrie, wantonly harvesting life in the enemy formation, and everywhere the war horse went, splashed with red blood mist. Cheese never thinks that killing, especially killing with swords, has any ornamentality, in the mage's opinion, the most effective and deadly attack should be the pursuit of cold weapons, but watching the battle of the female knight, Cheese felt for the first time that wielding the sword would also produce beauty, the arc crossed by the sword light can also be like the rhythm in the music, every chop, stabbing is like some kind of sacrificial dance, even if the person is on horseback, but her movements are not restrained, this is the performance of equestrianism and swordsmanship to reach a certain high level.

"Roar!" The appearance of the knights naturally attracted the attention of the cavemen, although they were caught off guard by the opponent and killed a leader, but the other two cavemen also reacted at this time, they let out a deafening roar, and a faint layer of gray light flickered on the surface of their bodies.

"It's Stoneskin! those big hairs are angry!" Hahn said loudly, looking at the source of the roar.

When these guys enter a state of anger, their skin will instinctively tighten and harden, and its hardness will become comparable to that of the original stone, and it is difficult for ordinary iron weapons to damage them, which is the real reason why these big guys can become the leaders of the caveman group. Generally, when the Frost Guardian encounters this situation, it will temporarily back down, and plan to besiege and kill the big man in small teams, and three or four groups of soldiers cooperate with each other to distract the big guy, so that it can look forward and backward, and then rush up to kill the big guy when his energy is exhausted. When the cavemen were tired, they had difficulty maintaining their stone form, and the soldiers could approach them and find a way to kill them.

However, the knights who had already rushed to the camp wall did not seem to think so, I don't know if these knights did not understand the horror of the stone skin or if they had confidence in the blade in their hands, but these hammer knights turned their horses' heads and charged in the direction of the big man with their backs against the camp wall, as if they were preparing to meet the two angry caveman leaders head-on.

"Crazy, all crazy, they want to deal with those two big guys head-on!" Jack said.

He wanted to warn the other party of the danger of stone skin. But the female knight at the head of the group had already raised her hand and raised her knight's sword, and as she pointed her sword at the two caveman men who were rushing wildly, the whole team of knights launched a second charge! The ordinary cavemen had already been killed by these red Grim Reaper, and they pushed each other to make way for a passage.

And so a dramatic scene happened, with their backs to the wooden walls of the camp, the knights charged at the two roaring monsters under the watchful eyes of their enemies and comrades. The result of their collision was not only related to their own lives, but also to the lives of all the residents of Sweetwater Town in the camp, at this moment, whether it was the guards of Sweetwater Town, the warriors from Frost, or the mage in gray robes, they all unconsciously held their breath, waiting for the moment when the two clashed.
