Chapter 227: The Double-Sided Iron Rider (I)
Chapter 227: The Double-Sided Iron Rider (I)
The voice of the storm bear was like a rough piece of wood. There is also a mess of stubble, which is extremely harsh in the silence of the night.
On the magic chariot in front, the magician glanced at the alchemy telescope and said to the officers who got up: "It's the heavy cavalry, let's prepare to set up the alchemy crossbow." ”
This is a high-level swordsman who is an officer, and they went to the magic chariot to receive alchemy crossbows, a total of four, and set them up in front of the camp, but behind the camp, they were guarded by two black iron sword saints.
The speed of the heavy cavalry in the distance is extremely slow, and their war horses are also one in a hundred, even so, before any heavy cavalry launches a charge, they must conserve their physical strength, and the war horses are not good, and they must not even wear equipment after the distance from the enemy has reached a certain level.
The heavy cavalry was very lethal, but not maneuverable enough.
The figures in the distance became clearer and clearer, almost two hundred. The two hundred heavy cavalry did not wait for Saleen's team at the scheduled ambush location, so they had to ask the magician to send flying puppets to investigate again, but found that Saleen's response had only crossed the Red Clay Ridge, so they immediately stopped and rested.
The thieves had crooked noses. But there was no choice but to let the heavy cavalry rest and move east again.
With such a toss, the heavy cavalry, which had been recuperated, had lost its sharpness and became cautious.
Salin stood up, and the ten senior swordsmen behind him had already passed past him, setting up alchemy crossbows in front of the camp. The power of this alchemy crossbow is large and small, and the power is great, and one arrow is enough to penetrate the triple magic heavy armor. Those who have little strength are all sharpened by arrows.
These ten sword masters erected it, but it was a weapon in the army, alchemy heavy crossbows. This alchemy crossbow was only available to the royal army, and anyone else would be hanged if they were caught.
If the enemy is a light cavalry, it can be accelerated from a distance, and the swordsmen will naturally not calmly set up alchemy crossbows, but the heavy cavalry should cherish the horsepower, even if it is a heavy cavalry riding a demonic beast, it must start to accelerate within a certain distance.
Salin felt that his cold vision had improved again, and he could see clearly from eight hundred meters away without the need for an alchemy telescope. As the cavalry accelerated, the smoke and dust on the ground suddenly flew up, and the horses' hooves made a heavy sound, as if a giant was striking the earth with a hammer.
If Salin was an ordinary soldier beside him, he would have been so frightened by this momentum that his hands and feet were sore, and he couldn't move. Those ten high-level swordsmen were also extremely uncomfortable. Barely fine-tuning the alchemy crossbow. Just shoot.
They are elites, and according to common sense, they will never launch the alchemy crossbow at its farthest range, but will wait for someone to get close to about two hundred meters before attacking. Because it takes a long time for alchemy crossbows to install crossbow arrows, generally speaking, in the face of cavalry, there is only one chance to fire.
The advantage of the alchemy crossbow is that it is extremely penetrating, and the middle one dies instantly.
"Don't fire, wait for my orders. Salin let out a loud shout, his voice tinged with a wonderful rhythm. Although he is not good at spiritual magic, it is still easy to crack the enemy's spiritual attack, after all, he is a fifth-level great magician, and the enemy is just using the power of armor.
The ten senior swordsmen seemed to wake up from a dream, and they were all in a cold sweat.
Magic Remount!
Saleen stared at the two hundred iron horsemen who were getting closer and closer, and began to get serious. The magic heavy cavalry originally only existed in theory, because in order to train the magic heavy cavalry, these soldiers must have two conditions, first, if they are from a magic apprenticeship, they can calmly mobilize their mental power, so that the magic armor can take the initiative to play a role. Second, the soldiers themselves must be at the level of a junior swordsman.
It's not particularly difficult to achieve these two things, but the difficult thing is that an apprentice magician, unless the teacher abandons him, this apprentice basically will not go to learn swordsmanship and give up magic.
It is easy to find thirty or fifty such people in each country, but it is obviously impossible to form a flag group. Rex has more than 1,000 magic apprentices, and only about 10 of them can become magicians, but even so, none of these apprentices plan to give up their careers and learn swordsmanship.
The two hundred cavalry in front of him are obviously the magic heavy cavalry in theory. Everyone can mobilize the attributes on the magic armor and take the initiative to attack, because it is the sonic attack that affects the enemy's spirit, and this attack has already started eight hundred meters away.
Such a heavy cavalry can be broken in one blow in the face of any battle formation. Unless...... Unless the enemy is a group of magicians.
Salin's camp is not only home to a group of magicians, but also two magic chariots. Except for the ten high-level sword masters who were slightly affected at the beginning, the rest of the people, this low-level spiritual attack had no effect at all. Even Storm Bear was only stimulated to a rare murderous aura in his eyes, muttered, and lifted his more than three-meter-long single-edged horse slashing sword.
The magicians resting in the car noticed that something was wrong, and immediately more than a dozen magic spells were launched from the car and blessed the ten swordsmen. Saleen also blessed Storm Bear with a water-streaked shield.
The Water Shield is more resistant to magical attacks than Ice Armor, and absolutely does not affect any of the actions of the blessed person. Salin's shield of water streaks has now become supernatural, a thin film of water attached to the body of the violent bear, changing form freely with his movements.
Two hundred magical heavy riders, all dressed in fuchsia armor. Reflects a bleeding glow in the starlight. These armors are rare large-leaf armor, and it looks like they must be triple armor. The cavalryman's helmet is a Fourth Dynasty style, all closed, and the eyes are made of two polished crystals.
The soldiers inside can see through the crystal and observe things from far away, with the same effect as an alchemy telescope. It's just that this kind of equipment requires the user to be at least a magic apprentice, while the alchemy telescope can be used by anyone.
The weapon in the heavy rider was a long-outdated riding spear, about four meters long, and it appeared to be slightly shorter. Saleen saw that the conical spear head was inlaid with purple crystals, and it was obvious that it would shoot magic. Even if it's just first-level magic, it's too annoying.
Seeing such expensive equipment from the enemy, Salin was even more sure that there was some huge force behind this gang of thieves, even the Holy See was not surprised.
The Holy See is divided into three parts, and the part that the Pope is responsible for will definitely not collude with thieves, but the Inquisition will definitely do it.
However, Salin is not worried, although this place is very close to Tangulas, but the border is actually an enclave of the Tangulas Empire, and the Holy See does not attach importance to it, and there is only one red-clad church in the entire enclave.
The swordsmen's bodies were blessed with several layers of magic, and they were no longer affected by the sound waves of the enemy, so they quickly adjusted their breathing and waited for Salin's orders.
Rex didn't move at all, she was in the carriage. Still meditating.
400 meters, 300 meters, 200 meters......
"Shoot!" Salin calmly gave the order to attack.
With a terrifying range of eight hundred meters, this alchemy heavy crossbow produced by the Imperial Royal Family is an absolute weapon for killing. No matter how strong the enemy's attack is, it doesn't mean that you will ignore the attack of the Alchemy Heavy Crossbow. This thing was originally made for siege and is ridiculously expensive. Generally speaking, a flag regiment is equipped with only five bodies.
At a distance of two hundred meters, the alchemy heavy crossbow was indestructible, and Salin did not dare to connect it even if he blessed the shield with ten layers of water ripples. Even if the magic shield can't be broken, the alchemy crossbow still has an indefensible attribute, heavy hits. This all depends on the magician's own physique to resist.
Saleen is not yet a magician, and his calculation speed cannot exceed the firing speed of the alchemy crossbow. And the firing of magic is orderly and easy to calculate. And the attack of the alchemy crossbow is disorderly, and a miscalculation is death. The four alchemy heavy crossbows prepared by Rex were obviously more than that, the four crossbow arrows flew out with a whimper, and the swordsmen quickly dismantled the bracket of the alchemy heavy crossbow and replaced them with new weapons in their hands.
These weapons were all cross-spears, which were originally the exclusive weapons of the broken cavalry, and the horizontal blades were extremely sharp, and they could cut off the horse's hooves with a slight hook.
Four one-meter-long arrows spun and flew out, and the surface of the arrows caused a black air current, and the sound became more and more strange. The speed of these four arrows was too fast, and the distance of two hundred meters was in the blink of an eye, and the knights in the front row were shot one after another before they could react.
Poof, quack......
The swirling metal arrow shattered the knight's magical armor, creating a huge hole in his chest, passing through the knight's body and continuing to fly backwards.
These crossbow arrows are also blessed with three spells: Sharp Arts, Armor Piercing, and Elemental Canceldown. These spells are all intermediate-level magics that are temporarily blessed, and only people like Rex, who have several great magicians around him, can easily use this tactic.
Four arrows pierced the bodies of six people in succession before falling to the ground. More than twenty magic heavy riders tumbled and fell to the ground, and the rest of the heavy riders were startled, desperately speeding up and rushing towards the camp.
They were also too worried, and with a heavy crossbow that could shoot through six sets of magic armor, no army would have much equipment. It is more expensive than some high-end magical armor.
Rex's two elite swordsman battalions only had a hundred, half of them were in Bitterwater County, and the rest were in Metatrin City.
The swordsmen retreated slightly, allowing the magic chariot to move forward, and in the magic chariot were two fifth-level mages and two fourth-level mages. The magicians that Rex brought with her this time had followed her since she was six years old. This is Qin Yin's court mage system, and the royal family will have mages to follow.
Losing a tenth of your strength, this is just the beginning. The mage on the magic chariot observed the distance, and at a position of a hundred meters, a dragon wall was suddenly released.
The only type of earth-based magic that can be instantaneous. When this magic was first created, it was originally intended to resist floods. However, it is also very effective against heavy cavalry. An earthen wall suddenly appeared, more than two meters high, across the position where the cavalry was advancing.
The heavy horse in front of him was just a rein, and the extremely heavy war horse actually crossed the two-meter earthen wall and continued to rush forward.
The earthen wall is more than two meters high, and even the light cavalry dare not jump over it. And the heavy cavalry wearing magic armor actually flew over like a feather.
They were greeted not by the ground, but by a dense network of stone spears.
