Chapter 117: The Jedi Strikes Back
Adeline looked up the slope in shock, unable to believe what was happening in front of her. "What's going on?
"Even Ogden's cavalry is against your will, they won't watch their compatriots fight bloodily and survive on their own!" Rui struggled in the shield, not forgetting to count down the Great Sage.
Adeline looked into the distance and hesitated, the shield suddenly disappeared, and the three mages fell to the ground.
Darktide also spotted the cavalry on the high slope on the left, and the frontal attack gradually weakened, and the demons and ghouls on the left flank set up their positions to meet the cavalry on the high ground.
Ethan and Windsor stood at the front of the cavalry, and the tragic battle in front of the walls made all the cavalry angry. Windthor drew his sword and pointed forward. "Warriors, look at our compatriots, they fought bloodily until the last moment, now, it's time for them to rest, let's drive these monsters back to the Far North, honor is with you!"
"For Wallis!" Ethan held a silver spear high above his head.
"For Wallis!" the cavalrymen gripped their spears and aimed them forward.
Ethan and Windthor led the way, followed by the Holy Knights, their horses growing faster and faster, and they gradually distanced themselves from the cavalry behind them. Immediately afterward, a second wave of Ogden cavalry other than the Holy Knights began to charge, separated from the first by almost a hundred yards. Finally, there was the formation of the cavalry of Altoona and Dayton, who were likewise separated by another hundred yards from the second wave. The phalanx of three waves of cavalry quickly charged towards the valley, rushing like a wave, the rumbling hooves of horses resounded throughout the valley, and the cavalrymen brandished their weapons and shouted loudly, getting closer and closer to the dark tide.
"Wave attack, that's amazing!" Botarus couldn't help but marvel as he stood on top of the city wall and watched the spectacular charge in front of him.
Lucius nodded and gave the order to the soldiers behind him. "Prepare the hounds, when all three waves of cavalry rush into the Dark Tide Formation, it will be the time for us to charge!"
With the sound of the demon's command, a burst of bows and arrows were fired from the Dark Tide Array, and the bows and arrows sank into the first wave of cavalry, and several knights fell from their horses screaming, but this did not slow down the cavalry charge in the slightest. A second wave of bows and arrows was fired again, this time with more knights on their horses as the cavalry was already close to the dark tide. Ethan and Windsor stood out in front of the cavalry, less than a hundred yards away from the Darktide formation, and the two shouted and raised their weapons. The third wave of bows and arrows shot out scatteredly, and even the dark tide was affected by the oppressive feeling brought by the approaching cavalry, and many demons began to panic, and the bows and arrows shot were not as powerful as the first two waves. The Holy Knights shouted in unison, and their bows and arrows struck several of them, but the knights clung to the reins and pulled themselves back with all their might, but they were not shot off their mounts.
The first wave of cavalry was already in sight, the momentum of the holy knights had completely overwhelmed the dark tide at the front, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves came from all sides, and the earth seemed to be shaking. Behind the knights, the golden sunlight broke through the clouds and shot from the top of the high slope towards the dark tide, and the knights, under the cover of the sun, rushed into the dark tide's formation.
The demons and ghouls were vulnerable to the cavalry's charge, and the line was instantly overwhelmed, Ethan threw out the spear in his hand, accurately piercing the demons in his way, and then he drew his sword, and together with Windsor, he kept slashing and slashing all enemies in his path. The Holy Knight cut through the entire line of defense of the Dark Tide from the flank, and continued to charge in depth.
The formation of the dark tide was cut off from the middle, and in order not to slow down the attack on the city wall, the demons and ghouls in the rear hurriedly made up for it, but at this time, the second wave of cavalry had arrived, and the dark tide that had just filled the position and survived the first wave of attacks was instantly submerged in the second wave of cavalry.
By the time the last wave of cavalry rushed into the Darktide Formation, the Holy Knights had already crossed almost the entire battlefield, and everywhere they passed, the Darktide was overwhelmed.
"Now, warriors, take courage and use the last of your strength to kill the Dark Tide without a single piece of armor!" Botarus jumped straight from the wall with his sword in both hands, and after rolling twice on the pile of corpses, he rose and began to charge. The soldiers of Altuna behind him were infected by the king's heroic actions, and all of them seemed to have been reborn, and the fatigue of the previous moment was gone, and everyone rushed to jump off the wall and run forward after the king.
"Heroes of Dayton, we can't afford to lose to the Artoonas, release our hounds and let the Dark Tide experience what fear is!" Lucius brandished his sword and jumped off the wall, and the surrounding Dayton soldiers also drew their swords and followed the king closely.
The sound of the beast fence opening in the fortress came and went, and more than 500 huge hounds ran up the city wall frantically, and then jumped down from the city wall, stepped over the pile of corpses, and ran towards the dark tide. They were much faster than the soldiers, and in a short time they were in front of the two soldiers, and their rapid snort caught the attention of the dark tide, who was being attracted by the cavalry, and a look of horror appeared on the distorted face of the demon, and the ghoul raised his sword in vain, trying to stop the hound's onslaught. But the hound's powerful force instantly knocked down the ghoul in front of him, and his sharp teeth completely bit the ghoul's head, and then the hound raised his head and continued to search for the next prey.
For a moment, the defense line of the dark tide was completely thrown into chaos, and the demon abandoned the ghoul and fled desperately backwards, but was immediately trampled under the iron hooves of the two waves of cavalry behind. The dark tide that did not have time to escape also lost its fighting spirit, and was wiped out by the hounds and charging soldiers, and the dark tide sandwiched between the cavalry and the city wall was completely disintegrated.
The first wave of cavalry had already rushed to the other side of the battlefield, and Windthor turned his horse's head and raised his sword to the rear of the dark tide. "All cavalry relinquish, ready for a second charge!" the Holy Knight quickly formed a new formation around Wendsol and Ethan, and with Wendsol's order, they began to charge again. At the same time, the next two waves of cavalry also stopped continuing to charge laterally, but also rearranged their formation, starting from the center and right to charge towards the rear of the dark tide.
The hounds caught up with the cavalry, mingling among the horses, and tore at all the dark tides that stood in their way, and the infantry, with the last of their strength, followed the cavalry, destroying all the dark tides that slipped through the net in the charge. The entire front advanced towards the rear of the dark tide, and the offensive and defensive sides changed.
Ness stood on the rampart, excited as the soldiers began to fight back. "We've repelled the Dark Tide, have we won?"
Rui noticed the serious look on the Great Sage's face. "I'm afraid not, Ness, even I can feel it, there's something even more terrible. ”
"What is it??, Ness, looking worriedly between Adeline and Ray. "I'm afraid our mental power won't be able to destroy so many dragons anymore. ”
Adeline looked into the distance and finally spoke, "Not only dragons, but also ethereal spirits, they are here, I have been preserving my strength until now, but also in case I will fight them, now it seems that it is inevitable." ”
"Ethereal spirits, are they really that terrifying, are even the Great Sages afraid of them?" Nerfi walked to the side of the Great Sage and looked at her in disbelief.
"You'll be convinced right away. Adeline turned, her gaze sweeping over the three mages. "If I die, you must get out of here at once, remember what I said before?
Adeline's words shocked the three mages, the Great Sage was ready to die in battle, and the only five Great Sages in Wallis, each of whom was almost a demigod, was ready to meet the arrival of death when facing the Ethereal Spirit, what kind of existence was the Ethereal Spirit!
The cavalry was still charging forward, the clouds again covered the sky, and the sunlight disappeared.
