Chapter 4: Betrayal
Shortly after Tenardiye's army had formed its formation, the Gistato's army, which had been finally identified as 900, led by Eleonora Veltaglia, the "Wind Queen of the Silver Flash", and Tagler Wilmud Warun, the "traitor", rushed straight ahead. And after the battle began, Lin Xuan ushered in the first conceptual impact of the inhuman combat power of another world.
Arrows, ineffective.
Mu Ran looked at the scene in front of him, the arrows shot from the Tenardiye army, and when they were about to fall on the head of the Gistato's army, the silver-haired and red-eyed battle queen waved the blade in his hand, "Ellifar!" The wind swirled a whirlpool around her, and the arrows that struck the Gistatos fell feebly to the ground under the tease of the wind.
There is also that Warun, who is basically one arrow and one person, and there is no false shot, which makes Lin Xuan wonder if his eyes have been replaced by some high-precision calibration instrument.
The first faction quickly collapsed under the ravages of Ellionora and Volune, and the battle damage on the opposite side remained incredibly small. Followed by the second formation, relying on the knight charge under the advantage of terrain, and the huge numerical advantage, it was possible to curb the momentum of Gistato's advance, but the next scene made Lin Xuan almost scold.
The brass-colored earth dragon, under Zion's orders, ignored the enemy and rushed into the battlefield. Because it was from the back of the second formation, it can be said that there were definitely many more dead Brunay troops than the Gistato's army, not to mention the impact of the formation being scattered. Lin Xuan turned his head and saw Zion's rampant smiling face.
"Hahahahaha. Die—Volune! I want you to pay! ”
Suddenly, a shout rang out from the other corner of the battlefield. It was the knight of the Gistato, who made a great detour around the battlefield and attacked the flank of Tenardiye's army. Under pressure, the knights of the Tenardier army, who were charging head-on, stopped their advance.
"Can it be any worse?" Lin Xuan pulled out his long sword, and if he didn't do it at this time, he would have to wait for death, but there was movement on the side of the earth dragon.
"Elifar—" The long sword in her hand shone with a blue-white glow as the silver-haired and red-eyed warrior screamed.
The wind howled, wrapping around the blade. The light drew the shape of a spiral, rolling up a small hurricane, which continued to twist and be compressed to the extreme, turning into a raging storm blade.
"Atmospheric Cut!"
In response to the downward swing of the sword, the Wind Blade slashed from the air to the ground. The sound of the wind vibrating the eardrum coincided with the dull sound of an object popping open and cracking. The Earth Dragon had a sword and a spear, as well as scales that could not be pierced by any knife, but at this moment its scales and claws were all shattered, and its body was split in two, flying backwards. The remnants of the Earth Dragon, completely destroyed, lay on the ground, carving deep cracks into the ground, and the knights of the Tenardiye family all froze in shock.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan didn't have any luck mentality, and while readjusting his judgment on the force value of this world, he also began to prepare for the back road, and even the knights on the flanks were ambushed.
He was temporarily arranged to be a member of the Warlord because he saved Zion, so Lin Xuan had a certain degree of free passage, but he avoided the bad situation of being trapped in one place, so Lin Xuan directly followed the frightened Zion and rushed back to his own camp from the front, but he didn't expect to hear another bad news.
"Enemy troops appear in the rear!" The scout reported in a panic. Zion asked in horror. "What about the number of people? What is the number of people? ”
"The sun has begun to set in the west, so it is not clear to see. However, judging from the riding shadow, there are about two thousand. ”
Lin Xuan gasped, and finally made up his mind in his heart. Quietly walked behind Zion, but at a time when everyone was temporarily distracted, he didn't attract the attention of others.
“……… Two thousand? Let the person in front of you step back! "For a long time, Zion made a stupid decision.
"Lord Zion, we should hold on to the current situation. Although the Gistato's army had 2,000 men, they could not defeat us in an instant. As long as we hold out until the Cavaliers break through the enemy forces in front of us, we will be able to achieve the final victory! ”
"Shut up!" Zion, with a fierce look on his face, beat his subordinates desperately admonishing. The arrow wound on his hand ached, and what little calm Zion had had completely disappeared. "You say insist!? Didn't you guys fail to hold out in front of them during the Battle of Dinant!
Have you forgotten that terrible defeat! And, more! What if the enemy has other Einsatzgruppen in addition to the 2,000 cavalry in the rear! Will you be able to endure it and persevere to the end? ”
In the end, the order was carried out, and the cavalry, which had a chance of victory, was crushed and suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of the enemy's warriors, so that the situation on the battlefield was completely in the hands of the Gistato's army.
Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates, Lin Xuan remembered this sentence.
After several decision-making mistakes by Zion, the Tenardiya army had reached the end of its rope. Under the protection of 50 knights, Zion quietly retreated to the rear of the battlefield, unexpectedly greeted by enemy generals.
"Volun!" Like the wail of a defeated dog, Zion, who saw the face of the comer, shouted frantically.
"It's come to this, don't think you can escape" The man known as Voru was also less than 20 years old, with red hair and a black longbow that exuded an ominous aura in his hand.
What follows is a meaningless conversation, in which one side accuses the other of being a traitor and leads a different team into Brunay. The other side accused the other of invading their territory for no reason, mutilating civilians, and finally ended the conversation with Zion's death.
"The people? What people. They're just mushrooms after a rain. No matter how much you kill, it won't be long before it grows out on your own, is it necessary to care so much? Hearing this, whether it was the enemy on the opposite side or the knight behind him, without exception, showed a disgusted expression, this kind of thing, even if everyone acquiesced, would not say it on such an occasion......
Just when Lin Xuan was about to incite everyone to charge and break through, Zion was very naïve and asked Warrunn for a duel.
"Fight it out, Volune! This is my one-on-one with you, and since I've caught up, you won't run away! Unexpectedly, Warun accepted the duel.
Even if he is not optimistic, Lin Xuan can't do it at this time.
Theoretically, bows and arrows cannot appear in a formal duel, not to mention the long preparation time, and a shield alone is enough to withstand all bow attacks. However, this world is a world that completely subverts Lin Xuan's original concept, and Lin Xuan knew it after seeing the strength of that battle queen. So, he was not surprised when Zion's shield was pierced by Warun with three arrows to the same point, and he was quietly retreating as everyone rushed to the rescue—even if he didn't save him, he would have come back.
Sure enough, under the protection of several knights, the injured Zion retreated to the side of the wyvern, "You guys keep it for me!" Pushing away the supporting knight, Zion covered his wounds with a hideous face and climbed up the wyvern. Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes and quickly followed, "Report to Lord Zion, I have something important to report, a ...... about that Warun's weakness" His right hand held the hilt of the sword on his waist.
"What? Say hurry, I'm going to-"
The silver-white blade sank through the cracks in the armor, but when it burst out from behind, it was stained with scarlet blood.
"You ......" pulled out his sword with all his might, and threw Zion to the knights who were about to rush up. With his left hand, he pulled the rope that was tied to the dragon's body.
"Obtain Wyvern (Pseudo) and activate the mount system"
"Open the mount system in advance, reward skill: Psychic communication (disabled)"
Telepathic Communication (Disabled): Can give simple commands to mounts within a radius of 1000 meters
"Get your first mount early and reward +50 mount loyalty"
The successive prompts made Lin Xuan's movements stagnate, but the angry knights below would not let go of this opportunity.
"Kill him!"
"Kill this traitor!"
The turmoil in the rear made the army in front begin to move backwards, and before he had time to observe carefully, Lin Xuan pulled the rope in his hand hard, "Fly!" ”
"Huh" The huge wings suddenly opened, and the soldiers around them who tried to climb up flew away, and the huge dragon claws stepped the ground, and in the dust in the sky, the huge body leaped up.
After fixing his body against the oncoming wind, Lin Xuan looked down. The archers below desperately shot the arrows in their hands towards Lin Xuan, but without exception they were blown away by the strong wind brought by the wave of the dragon wings, and farther away, there was a melee area for the knights of the two countries.
Lying on the back of the flying dragon, Lin Xuan gave the flying dragon an order to fly at a height of 500 meters from the ground in his heart, and looked directly below with a gloomy face. There was no news of the end of the battle for a long time, and Lin Xuan couldn't stay away from the commander, "Tsk, it's not ...... dead"
