Chapter 45: Attack in the Rain

The rain fell without warning, caught in the cold wind that had not yet subsided, and after several sways fell on the marching procession. Although the whole body was soaked, no one dared to slow down. The prince's order was for them to rush to Oloboa at noon the day after tomorrow, and if the enemy was allowed to take the lead, it would be in a great crisis.

The clothes on his body were all soaked, and although the cold was no longer in Naxi's sense, the sticky feeling was still very annoying. Originally, the magician had been picked up by carriage, but Naxi gave up his seat to one of the wounded. Stronger than those knights, he didn't care about the rain in front of him. Looking at the somewhat confused rain scene, Naxi's eyes also became a little confused. He didn't know exactly how long the rain was going to be.

Looking at the somewhat strange sky, Naxi suddenly noticed that the clouds above his head were a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. This thought flashed through him, and Naxi, who had not found the source of the abnormality, set his sights on the front of the group.

At the forefront was the cavalry led by Perrault, a cavalry battalion of only 200 men that made up only one-sixth of the large force. Although the number is a little small, Perrault firmly believes that with the knights of the Maple Leaf Knights, all difficulties will be solved. You must know that once the charge is launched, nothing can stop the cavalry.

It has been ten years since he took over the leadership from the previous regimental commander, and he is very strict with his subordinates in his daily training, and this time is no exception. Along the way, he kept urging the men of the other regiments to keep up with him, which made the horseless infantry feel extremely difficult.

Although Perrault's urging made the troops tired from the rain, they shortened the journey by about a day, and if there was no accident, they would have arrived at Olobois in the evening. In Perrault's vision, they could have an extra day to put Olobois in order.

Just as everyone was trying their best to catch up with the cavalry, some unexpected changes suddenly appeared in the misty rain scene.

In the spring rain that swayed with the wind, there were suddenly many black spots, and the dense black spots fell faster than those scattered raindrops. When someone sees them for what they really are, it's too late.

Caught in the rain were countless arrows. The first round of firing took a toll on the marching team. Some of the soldiers were nailed to the ground by arrows before they could scream. More soldiers scurried around in a panic dodging arrows, and the otherwise neat ranks suddenly became a disarray.

"What's going on?" Perrault felt the panic behind him, and when he saw that his men were already in disarray, he couldn't help but shout, "Attention! This is an enemy attack! Infantry shield, take good precautions." Cavalrymen, pack up your gear and turn around to find out where the enemy is hiding. ”

All the cavalrymen put on their helmets, pulled down their masks, and took out the idle cavalry spears. Dressed in armor, they were not afraid of the rain of arrows in front of them. They still clanged and fell on their bodies, like the raindrops that had fallen before.

While dodging the rain of arrows, Naxi is also trying to save the people around him. The deflection field he opened as wide as possible sheltered ordinary soldiers who had no effective armor, and he was also looking for which direction the arrow was coming from.

"Damn how there are archers on a rainy day, there must be something wrong with this!" Seeing the infantry in the distance being wounded by bows and arrows one after another, Naxi instructed the magicians who had already dismounted, "You guys hold this position, I'll go and see what tricks the enemy is playing." ”

The cavalry running on the muddy path was not as chic as it used to be, and they had to carefully control their speed. to avoid slipping and falling to the ground. Perrault knew that the arrows were fired from the nearby slopes, and that as long as his cavalry rushed up, all the problems would be solved.

Naxi also led a group of infantry with shields to the slope, and Naxi, who could deflect arrows and magic, rushed to the front, and the star mistake in his hand also turned into a flickering spear of light under the effect of magic attachment. Although it is not advisable for the battle mage to lead the charge in this case. But in order to reduce casualties, he still chose to go to the front.

Sure enough, all the fame was on the slope that the Bohemian reinforcements could not see.

In this place where the Bohemians could not notice, a dense enemy army was assembled. The surrounding array of spears blocked the knights' charge, and the brigade of archers who were still firing arrows were protected by the arrays of spears. Perrault's cavalry failed to rush up the hill, but Naxi led the advance of the enemy first.

Look at the flickering spears of light that are constantly wielding in the crowd. An old man in the Bavarian formation squinted at Naxi, who was constantly fighting, and said with a little surprise: "Isn't it Yefaran's magician, how can there be a war mage?"

This old man is none other than the blood mage Guise who accompanied the army. After everyone was settled, he and several Blood Mages joined Theodos' command. In order to confirm whether the blood mages are really as mysterious as the legend, the Bavarian coach specially arranged them in this ambush.

The Blood Mages, led by Gith, have indeed demonstrated their ability to impress those around them, and they have created weather that can control the rain at will, laying a firm foundation for this ambush. At the same time, with the correction of magic, the accuracy of the arrow has been dramatically improved.

The appearance of Naxi surprised Gith very much, and he remembered that they had suffered a lot from war mages. If the Legaliser's search team has a War Mage, the Blood Mage will most of the time choose to retreat. War mages with the assistance of magicians usually have supernormal virtues, and blood mages do not dare to fight with them.

The flickering spears of light quickly tore through the thin line of spearmen, and Naxi's movements were so fast that the reserves behind didn't even have time to catch up to plug the gap. The screams of the enemy were incessant, and in the chaos of blood and stumps flying, Naxi rushed directly to the magic array that was still in maintenance.

"Stop him, quick!" shouted Guise, clutching his wand in his hand, ready to meet Naxi's magic.

I saw that after he lightly sprinkled the two vials of blood, the mysterious chant began to spread around. By using the specially treated blood as a conductor, the blood mage can make greater use of the power from the magic web.

"Prepare to swallow everything, sink the earth!"

Carrying this acceleration magic, Naxi suddenly felt a limp under his feet, and almost fell to the ground. With great difficulty, he found that the space around him had been surprisingly distorted. The solid ground seemed to become soft, and it was as if I was about to sink into quicksand.

"Damn!" Naxi could only retreat backwards, and as he retreated, he also grabbed the two soldiers who were about to rush forward.

"Can't go any further, it's a big magic trap. In the shortest time to get out of trouble, Naxi turned around and rushed up from behind, shouting, "There are magicians on the other side!"

Perrault, who had just rushed up, was admired for being a magician who could lead the team to break through the enemy's defenses, so his warning was adopted: "All cavalry bypass this damn trap and destroy the enemy's archer array in a roundabout way!"

As a result of Naxi's quick advance, the whole situation on the hillside was now in disarray, and the spearmen who were defending elsewhere were desperately rushing to the gap, and the archers were becoming fearful, and the arrows in their hands were not as sharp as before. The Bohemians, who had been suppressed down the slope, took advantage of this gap to rush up the hillside.

Looking at the scene that had become a mess, although Guise was sure that he could deal a heavy blow to the Bohemia in front of him, he would definitely be injured by mistake if he made a rash move at this time. When he first arrived, he didn't dare to make such a ruthless move, and he had already missed the most important opportunity in hesitation. He looked at the commander with a blank eye, hoping to give him a clear order.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that Birch, the main general who led the ambush with the attack just now, said slowly: "Order a retreat, the few rounds of shooting just now have already made the damn Bohemians suffer a big loss, and they have earned enough, there is no need to continue to consume with them." Archmage Guise, you are responsible for covering the retreat of the large army. ”

Seeing that the main general had already given the order to retreat, Guise could only summon the two companions who were still maintaining the weather magic array to cast magic together to stop the Bohemian entanglement.

The dark clouds that hung over everyone's heads suddenly vanished, revealing the long-lost sunshine. But no one paid any attention to the sudden light, and the mixed formation of cavalry and infantry tried with all their might to attack the spearmen line, which had already broken out in some formation. But some sudden magic prevented them from continuing to expand their victory, and Perrault and Naxi could only watch as their enemies calmly retreated under the protection of magic.

It was impossible to continue the attack, and most of the insurmountable trap magic was laid in front of them, and there were also a lot of directional magic coming head-on. Perrault was indignant at this somewhat aggrieved man, he raised the knight's spear in his hand and threw it violently at the retreating enemy, and the knight's spear instantly nailed the two unlucky eggs to the ground,

"You cowards, treacherous villains, have the ability to fight me in a decent manner next time!" Perrault shouted at the retreating enemy troops.

Birch, who was retreating, was equally unhappy.

An ambush that was supposed to wipe out reinforcements was not achieved due to some subtle changes, and Birch couldn't help but feel a little regretful. However, when he thought that those three magicians had such incredible abilities, he suddenly felt that the subsequent battle should be much better than before.

Guise was thinking about the spear-wielding figure, he didn't expect to run into a mage. You must know that when Diodos told him, he didn't make it clear that there was such a existence as a war mage in the opposing formation. If I had known this news earlier, I might have been able to prepare some magic that could curb the mages.

But it's good that I finally know now. (To be continued......)
