Chapter Fifty-Six: Destroying the Withering and Decaying

That morning, a convoy of three hundred puppet knights left Richard's territory and traveled down a remote path to Deep Rock. For a caravan, such a guard force can be said to be too strong. In the Bloodstained Lands, even the Red Cossacks would not easily provoke such a caravan.

After a while, several horsemen appeared on the road, their whole bodies wrapped in dark cloaks, apparently not wanting to be discovered. The cavalrymen rolled over and dismounted, carefully examining the wheel prints on the road. After reading this, they galloped away.

A dragon fly hid in a big tree not far away, and saw it all.

Sitting in a van, Reilly said to Richard, "Those scouts are very sophisticated, and they seem to be tried and tested. ”

Richard smiled and nodded, and said, "It's coming pretty fast." ”

When the convoy reached a deserted area, Reilly stood up from his seat and said, "Prepare for battle, the enemy is coming!"

Before the words fell, a feeling of vibration came from the ground beneath his feet, and it became stronger and stronger. Both Richard and Reilly knew that this was a sign that the cavalry brigade was approaching. As a result, Reilly issued an order to the puppet knights to form a charging formation.

As soon as the side was ready for battle, a group of cavalry rushed out at the foot of the mountain. In the blink of an eye, a full eight hundred cavalry appeared in front of Richard's convoy. The men wore a dark cloak over their armor to conceal the style of the armor while hiding their faces in a pulled up hood.

This is a group of old and spicy elite cavalry, and their every move exudes a faint murderous aura. Seeing Richard come out of the carriage, the knight at the head looked happy, slowly raised his right hand, and then clenched it into a fist. In the Kingdom of Redwoods, this is a very common order, which means killing all enemies.

Obviously, the target of these cavalry was Richard.

The cavalry divided into two teams and slowly approached Richard's ranks, gradually exuding a strong murderous aura. They want to use their momentum to oppress their prey and make it panic, thus making victory easier.

Ray used his magic to amplify his voice and said, "Don't say anything about who your dad is for a while!"

The knight leader heard the meaning of Reilly's words, and his face was instantly covered with the color of pig liver. However, this taunt did not disturb the knight leader's will to fight, he waved his hand vigorously, and shouted: "Assault the whole army, kill them all for me!"

Seeing the cavalry on the opposite side begin to speed up, Reilly tore open a magic scroll and unleashed his enhanced version of the Curse of Slowness.

In the next moment, the speed of the cavalry suddenly decreased by three percent. The knight leader's face changed drastically, for a cavalry like them, speed is life! Reilly just released a low-level spell, which reduced the attack power of this group of cavalry by fifty percent.

Then, Reilly unleashed his ability to calm down, instantly summoning thirty fireballs and shooting them at the cavalry on the opposite side. This is not a third-level fireball technique, but a sixth-level beaded fireball!

The knight leader's mouth grew sharply, and his eyes were full of fireballs flying in the sky. He frantically ordered his cavalry to halt their advance, but it was too late to give instructions to evade.

Fireballs fell in the desperate eyes of the cavalry, and the originally neat team was blown to pieces. A huge wave of fire suddenly rose in front of the convoy, constantly devouring the lives around it.

In just a moment, one-third of the attacking cavalry had been reduced to ashes, and the remaining two-thirds were trying their best to control the frightened horses. Faced with the terrible casualties in front of them, they were completely enraged. Before the remaining flames could be extinguished, the cavalry rushed out again.

Although Richard was shocked, he did not forget that this was a war that could not be delayed, and he soon issued a series of orders in his consciousness.

With a crackling sound, the other wagons were torn apart by sharp axes, and teams of grenadiers jumped out of them, then threw their axes at the cavalrymen who had not yet recovered from the chaos. At this distance, the power of the throwing axes is comparable to that of a crossbow, and if they are hit, a huge wound will immediately appear on the body of the cavalry. Under such an attack, the chain mail cast in steel is also useless.

At the best attack distance, a hundred throwers threw five rounds of throwing axes at the fastest speed, and only those who were there could appreciate how terrifying the stormy attack was. The cavalrymen could no longer describe how they felt, and under the baptism of the five wheels of throwing axes, they lost more than a hundred of their companions.

The knight leader looked resolute, and he loudly ordered the cavalry to continue the charge, aiming directly at Richard.

"Wise choice, but it won't change your outcome. Reilly slowly raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.

In the next moment, three hundred puppet knights slaughtered the enemy on the opposite side, and the four Dawn Knights rushed to the forefront! At this time, the puppet mages and puppet priests under Reilly also released their auxiliary spells, making the knights in the front row shine.

Like a dinner knife cutting butter, Reilly's knights instantly broke through the enemy cavalry's formation, beating them to the ground. The Knight Leader was killed by the mighty Knight of the Dawn in a single blow, and his cavalry was even more unbearable, facing puppet knights who were far superior in rank and equipment to their own, and these people were not even able to make a decent counterattack.

When the last cavalry fell, the curtain came down on the short but fierce battle.

Next, Richard and Reilly began to command their men to clean up the battlefield. In this battle, all the 800 cavalry who attacked were killed, but they failed to kill any of the puppet knights. Railly was not at all surprised by such a result. The puppet knights not only have the strength of level 10 or above, but also have a full set of sophisticated equipment, if they can't crush these ordinary cavalry, it will be strange.

Upon lifting the cloak to conceal his identity, Reilly discovered that the cavalrymen were all dressed in elaborate armor. Although they have no enchantment effect, they are also the most top-notch of ordinary equipment. Strictly speaking, the armor of these cavalrymen should be counted as plate armor, but their joints are designed as chain mail, which combines defense and flexibility, and weighs much less than ordinary plate armor.

Reilly playfully said, "There's no badge or anything like that, but this armor ......"

"The Knights of the Eagle Banner belonging to the Duke of Glasburg. Richard added.

Although they had not been in the Faro plane for a long time, they had experienced dozens of battles large and small, and their retinue was familiar with the work of cleaning up the battlefield. Under Richard's orders, the throwers stripped the cavalrymen of all their valuables, including the inner armor. In aristocratic societies, such desecration of corpses could easily cause public outrage. However, since the other party pretended to be a robber, Richard treated him as a bandit, which is why he knew the identity of the other party but did not say it.

The recovered weapons and armor filled all the wagons, and there were more than a hundred intact war horses, which was a big gain. The corpses of the cavalrymen were tied with ropes and dragged away by their horses.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Richard returned to the territory with his team, leaving only the Throwers behind.

Erin asked curiously, "Richard, why didn't those soldiers who threw axes follow?"

Richard smiled and said, "They're going out to eat." ”

"Oh. Erin nodded, not thinking much about it. In her opinion, most of the throwers were going out hunting.
