Chapter 118: Cavalry vs. Black Dragon
Ethan gripped the reins with his left hand and leaned to the right, slung across his horse, and as he dodged the oncoming spear, his sword slashed across the demon's abdomen, slicing his foe in half. The Holy Knights, led by the prince and the generalissimo, had already advanced a hundred yards away, crushing the right flank of the dark tide. The other two waves of cavalry also took advantage of the momentum and broke into the dark tide formation dozens of yards away in one fell swoop. Seeing that under the strong impact of the three cavalry teams, coupled with the hounds mixed in it and the infantry behind, it seemed that the dark tide could no longer resist the attack, and gradually retreated.
Ethan slashed off the head of a draugl with another sword, and the prince raised his sword and shouted to the cavalry. "Warriors, that's it, drive the dark tide back to hell!" the holy knights shouted in response to the prince, and after a continuous charge, even these elite cavalrymen began to feel tired, and a considerable number of cavalrymen were wounded, and the prince's inspiration made them full of strength again.
At this moment, a strong cold wind blew in the sky again, and five black shadows pierced through the clouds and quickly flew towards the cavalry.
"Stop!" Wendthor commanded loudly. All the Holy Knights stopped their pursuit, allowing the Dark Tide to flee backwards. The other two waves of cavalry also stopped their advance and waited for the marshal's next instructions.
"What's that! There seemed to be someone on the back of the two black dragons in the middle. Ethan looked at the five black dragons that were rapidly approaching.
"Whatever it is, we better be prepared. Windthor turned his horse's head and gave a loud command to the knight behind him. "All cavalry will be combined and re-lined!"
The Holy Knight turned his horse's head neatly and hurried towards the cavalry in the center, and the cavalry on the right also rushed towards the middle, and the three waves of cavalry quickly converged and relined themselves in the order in which they had originally charged. All the cavalry cheered up, clenched their weapons, and prepared themselves for the oncoming formidable enemy.
Adeline saw the figure on the dragon's back, her shoulders trembling slightly, and then the Great Sage performed her flying skills, all the way over the pile of corpses under the city walls, and landed smoothly on the ground. The three mages hurriedly followed, although the Great Sage had told them not to follow, but at this moment, Adeline had no time to take care of them, she had more things to worry about.
The infantry team also stopped after the cavalry, and Elonhan and Stan nervously watched the five black dragons getting closer and closer, and the guards understood the threat better than Stan. "Be careful, knight, the two black dragons in the middle are ethereal spirits on their backs, never try to stand in front of them. ”
"That's right, two ethereals, one more than I expected. Adeline's voice rang out beside the guard.
"Adeline?!Why are you here, go back!" Elonhan looked at the Great Sage in surprise, and almost picked her up and ran back to the wall.
There was still no nervous look on Adeline's face, and her tone was calm and calm. "At this point, I have to try, I'm not sure if I can defeat them, if it's just a virtual spirit, with so many of us, maybe there is a chance to win, but if it's two, it's ......"
As soon as the words fell, the five black dragons had already flown fifty yards in front of the cavalry, the two black dragons in the middle stopped, and the three black dragons on both sides continued to fly forward, and the piercing screams pierced the air and reached everyone's ears.
"Hell, we don't have falcons anymore, and the mages are exhausted, how can we stop these dragons?" Stan muttered, clenching his sword.
Neither the Great Sage nor the Guardian answered him, and Niss arrived behind Stan. "We can help, but we can't last long. ”
As he spoke, Wendthor heard the sound of Wendthor commanding in front of him. "All the cavalry, scatter the charge, avoid the attack of the black dragon, look for opportunities, and attack in a roundabout!" After saying that, the generalissimo took the lead and rushed forward.
Having received the order from the commander-in-chief, all the cavalry began to charge again, and this time, the cavalry did not maintain a dense formation as before, but scattered and rushed forward. The black dragon flapped its wings, making the cavalry subconsciously turn their faces sideways to avoid the blowing wind and sand, taking advantage of this opportunity, the three black dragons swooped down, their sharp claws crossed the body of the cavalry, and the huge wings swept across the front, and dozens of cavalry were slapped into the sky by the huge impact, screaming and falling to the ground. The black dragon completed its first attack and roared and rose into the sky again.
The cavalrymen turned around on horseback, raised their throwing spears and threw them at the black dragon, several of which stabbed the black dragon in the abdomen, but did not cause much damage to them. After charging forward for a few dozen yards, the cavalry reined in the reins, turned their horses' heads and began to charge back against the black dragon.
The black dragon screamed again and swooped down, and the cavalry in front of them raised their throwing spears again and threw them at the black dragon, they did not dodge the black dragon's attack at all, and threw the throwing spears with all their might, and then the dragon claws swept over their defenseless bodies, and the cavalryman's entire stomach was torn open and he fell off his horse. The cavalry in the back row drew their short bows one after another, and with the sound of the bowstring flicking, dozens of bows and arrows shot towards the black dragon. The black dragon seemed to feel the pain, and hissed as it rose into the sky again, this time with a dense network of arrows on top of their heads and abdomen.
The cavalry turned around, and the third head-to-head confrontation with the black dragon began, and the cavalry who still had the spear in his hand resisted the strong wind brought up by the black dragon in front of him, and threw the spear in his hand with all his might, several of the throwing spears pierced into the head of the black dragon at the front, one of them hit his right eye, the black dragon roared, fell from the sky, and pressed the cavalry who was dodging under the huge body, these cavalrymen saw that they could no longer avoid death, so they simply held the sword in their hands tightly and raised it upward, hoping that they could give the black dragon the last trace of damage。
The other two black dragons finally swept past the ranks after flying dozens of troops, and the cavalrymen with bows and arrows leaned down to avoid the attack, then turned on horseback, drew their bowstrings and shot at the black dragon's abdomen. The slower black dragon had almost no place to shoot arrows on its belly, and its entire abdomen was full of arrows, and the black dragon was almost unable to fly fast, and could only levitate in the air with difficulty.
"Good chance, that black dragon can't dodge our arrow of light. Nerfi and Niss raised their wands, and after a few seconds, two tiny arrows of light flew forward, and the black dragon watched as the arrows of light pierced into his body, but he couldn't dodge them. Although the two light arrows were not very powerful, they were light magic after all, and the black dragon was also traumatized by the cavalry, and his already scarred body finally could not support his huge body and fell heavily to the ground.
The cavalry rushed forward again, and Windsor took the lead in reining the reins and turned the horse's head again. "There's only one left, and this time, let's send him to hell!" the generalissimo raised his sword and took the lead in rushing forward.
The cavalry had run out of spears, and the archers fired arrows at the oncoming black dragon, but this time the black dragon was clever and charged at the cavalry with his hardest head closed. The black dragon swooped down to the same height as the cavalry, and the huge impact caused all the cavalry in its path to be knocked to the ground. Wendthor took a deep breath, found the right opportunity, and grabbed the dragon's wings the moment the black dragon swept past him, and the generalissimo pierced the wings with a sword, using this as a support point, and climbed onto the dragon's body.
The black dragon knocked most of the archers to the ground, and only then did he flap his wings and rise into the sky, only to realize that there was a man standing on his back. Windthor didn't give him time to react, and the generalissimo staggered and ran to the top of the black dragon's head, raised his sword with both hands, and stabbed it down with all his strength. The sword pierced deep into the black dragon's massive skull, and a painful roar resounded through the sky, and the dragon's body began to shake violently, trying to shake the humans off its body. Wendthor knelt on the dragon's head on one knee, his hands clutching the sword tightly, and no matter how much the black dragon shook, he couldn't bounce him off. In the struggle, the black dragon's strength was gradually exhausted, the speed of the wings was getting slower and slower, and the body began to slowly fall.
"Well done!" Lucius shouted and ran forward.
"What's that?!" Stan was running forward and saw a flash of light from the two dragons behind him flying quickly towards the falling black dragon, the knight realized the danger, but it was too late, Wendthor on the back of the black dragon let out a scream, shook off the dragon's head, and fell from a height of dozens of yards.
