Chapter 498: Ambush (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival Wishes Everyone)

The cavalry took advantage of their speed to break through the blockade of the rain of arrows and escape from the encirclement of the valley.

"Troe, count the personnel quickly!Report the casualty figures!" Nesta gasped slightly, in the situation just now, he still maintained the power of the domain to protect the soldiers around him, which was indeed a huge consumption.

Because of this, Nesta's prestige and status in the Shadow Knight Legion are irreplaceable.

Soon after, Troe reported: "There are now fourteen thousand five hundred horsemen remaining, of whom about three thousand are seriously wounded, about five thousand are lightly wounded, and Master Ansp has not yet returned." ”

"Ansp is a Demon Emperor powerhouse, even if he can't defeat the enemy, it shouldn't be a problem to escape. Only this time we didn't even touch the enemy's side, and we lost more than 5,000 people!"

This number was more than Nesta had imagined, and he couldn't help but clench his fists, if he hadn't noticed it early and didn't go deep into the trap, it was likely that it would have been far more than this level of casualties.

Troe frowned and said, "General, it seems that the enemy just used all high-grade magic arrows, and their armor-piercing ability is extremely strong, and our round shields have all been penetrated. ”

"All high-grade armor-piercing magic arrows?" Nesta gasped, this is not an ordinary arrow, the cost is frighteningly high, even the most elite Imperial Capital archer regiment is impossible to equip with arrows of this quality, only some legion leaders can afford to use it, the enemy is taking money to smash people......

"Some of the soldiers are badly wounded, do you want to rest in place?"

"No! can't stop!" Nesta shook her head, "march as fast as you can, and rush back to Moonlight Fortress at once, hoping that the situation doesn't get to the worst in my estimation." ”

- That Hardy, there is probably a problem, the Moonlight Fortress was easily taken before, and it already felt that something was wrong, but at that time, the time was pressed and he was in a hurry to attack Dico Town, so he didn't have time to think about it. Even if you keep a hand in advance, it may not be effective, and now you must rush to the Moonlight Fortress as soon as possible, or even retreat to the Red Shadow Territory!

Troe wanted to say something, but seeing Nesta's determined eyes, he immediately gave up his plans and ordered his soldiers to march at full speed at all costs.

After some time, the cavalry regiment had already run along the avenue to the winding mountain road, and only by crossing the two mountains in front of it could successfully reach the Moonlight Fortress.

However, at this time, Nesta, who was at the front of the team, suddenly had a premonition of extreme danger, without the slightest trace in advance, purely a warning sign of the instinct of a high-level powerhouse.

Before the word "be careful" could be spoken, a dazzling light was seen somewhere on the side.

What started out as a point of light turned into a spherical flame of flame. The flames were wrapped in a faint purple color, and there seemed to be a crackling electric glow in the middle, which was especially dazzling in the middle of the night.

Almost instantly, the flames amplified in front of the cavalry's eyes, and the devastating aura erupted with an astonishing force with a dull loud thud.

In the landslide, hundreds of cavalry within about 100 meters instantly turned into powder, and the nearby demon horses and knights flew their stumps in the huge wave of qi and were lifted away, leaving only a terrifying huge crater, faintly emitting the sound of residual energy.

"Crystal Cannon!" Nesta yelled in horror.

He had never seen a magic crystal cannon so terrifying!

Originally, Nesta was still thinking about how to hatch a counterattack and wash away the shame after rushing to the Moonlight Fortress, but this terrifying magic crystal cannon almost destroyed his confidence.

Although it was outside the power range of the magic crystal cannon just now, Nesta could feel that even with the strength of his Demon Emperor mid-stage, being hit by this magic crystal cannon would only be seriously damaged. ..., there was another white light jet from the rear, different from the previous cannonball-like explosion, this time the white light was a straight beam, but the diameter was a bit exaggerated, and it was continuous energy, wherever it was swept by the "beam", the life form was broken down into granularities and dissipated, and the beam cleared a fan-shaped position, and finally weakened and disappeared.

Nesta doesn't want to fight back at all now, only one belief: escape!

Escape with the soldiers out of range of these terrible crystal cannons!

"Cast the Shadow Charge!Spread out as much as you can, and rush back to the Moonlight Fortress with all your might!" Nesta roared, two wings appeared behind him, and an extra sword and a huge square shield flew in the direction of the Crystal Cannon.

Originally, as the boss, he couldn't move lightly, but at present, the situation is urgent, and Ansp is not there, as the only Demon Emperor powerhouse with the ability to fly, he must go to destroy the biggest threat of the magic crystal cannon.

The Shadow Charge can only be used once a day, and if it is overused, the magic array will cost a lot of life force to the knights and mounts, but the situation in front of them is urgent, and if you don't make a quick decision, the entire cavalry legion will be wiped out by the terrible magic crystal cannon.

Although the power of those two magic crystal cannons is terrifying, they both have the common problem of magic crystal cannons, that is, the cooldown period. Due to the huge amount of firing energy, it must rely on the magic array to cool down, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the power and explode.

Before Nesta's figure flew close to the location of the magic crystal cannon, he felt a strange mental fluctuation impact, and the pain in his brain was incomparable, as if it was about to crack, and his body was in the air, and a black shadow had appeared in front of him, and two faint blue rays in his hands hit like lightning.

When Nesta was in a hurry, his body shrank and he held the shield horizontally in front of him, only to hear the "ding" sound constantly, and in an instant, he didn't know how many attacks he blocked from the enemy, and the shield in his hand was almost unable to hold it steadily.

Nesta was secretly frightened, the shield swung violently, and a shield strike forced the opponent away, and then the long sword in his right hand stabbed towards the black shadow, and a terrifying black flame appeared on the long sword, with a strong aura of destruction, which was the strongest attack talent of the Lucifer clan, Black Flame.

After the black shadow's figure floated, the blue light in his hand that seemed to be a double knife began to rotate, forming a vacuum-like force field, and the black flame on the long sword was involuntarily sucked into the force field and crushed apart. The movement of this black shadow was extremely fast, taking advantage of the old liliang on the opponent's sword, the blue light was like a long snake around a tree, coiling over the long sword and instantly swept towards Nesta's throat,

Nesta hurriedly raised his head, narrowly avoided it, and the shield in his hand hurriedly blocked in front of him, and at the moment when the shield covered his body, his ribs and lower abdomen were numb at the same time, as if he had been shocked, and then there was a sharp pain like a crack.

The magic crystal cannon in the distance once again spewed out a terrifying light, there were more than two, although the cooldown time was a problem, but the power was too terrifying, and everywhere it went, the lives of the Demon Legion soldiers were quickly harvested. Fortunately, many soldiers had already rushed into the mountain road, and under the cover of the terrain, they dodged the scythe of death.

The death of the soldiers made Nesta's eyes tremble, but the strength of the opponent in front of him was still above him, in addition to having the terrifying liliang and speed, he also had that terrifying mental impact ability, and if he continued to fight, he was afraid that even leaving would be a problem.

This raid was a complete failure, and the cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses, and the moonlight fortress in front may still be in danger, and the remaining soldiers must be led out of danger!

As soon as he thought of this, Nesta's whole body erupted with an astonishing momentum, as if he was going to strike desperately, but it was a false blow, and the wings on his back burst into flames, so forcibly fusing the two talents of Black Flame and Holy Light Wing is quite dangerous for Nesta's current strength, and his internal organs have been damaged a lot because of that kind of backlash power, but the effect is also quite obvious. The wings flapped, and they had already flown away. ..., Nesta's flight speed suddenly increased several times, and the black shadow holding the blue light double knife couldn't catch up, the pupil of his left eye suddenly turned golden, and a beam of golden light burst out, hitting Nesta who was flying away. Nesta snorted, ignoring the injury, but flew away with this liliang acceleration, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"If it's on the ground, it's weird if this guy can run away!" the black shadow angrily waved the blue knife in his hand, making a hissing sound of slashing through the air.

Followed by the terrain of the mountain road, Nesta reluctantly gathered the remnants of his army and hurried towards the Moonlight Fortress, he did not ask the seriously wounded Troe to report the casualties, because just by visual inspection, he could tell that there were no more than 5,000 soldiers following.

The losses this time are far beyond imagination, and what is even more aggrieved is that the enemy has basically no casualties except for a very small number of anspoons, from the bow and arrow ambush in the valley to the later magic crystal cannon, the ambush of the dark moon has made the greatest use of the advantages of terrain and light, and the cavalry has strong mobility, but they can't give full play to their own advantages at all, and they can only be beaten passively. Especially with that terrifying magic crystal cannon, you must report it to His Royal Highness the Regent!

The opponent's attack just now was very strange, Zuihou's blow caused his mental power and body to be seriously damaged at the same time, Nesta drank a bottle of healing potion, tried his best to suppress the injuries in his body, and finally led the soldiers over the two mountains, the road in front of him was open, and in the distance, he saw the brightly lit moonlit fortress, which was especially shining in the darkest hour before dawn.

Due to his previous experience in the middle of the ambush, Nesta did not dare to slack off, and ordered the soldiers not to let down their guard and be ready to fight at any time.

"Which general of the Shadow Legion is it?" the fortress guard, who noticed the arrival of the cavalry, had already shouted, and looked warily at the cavalry not far away.

Nesta did not let his guard down at this inquiry, but became more suspicious that he had led his army to Dico Town, and now that he had returned defeated, how could the Moonlight Fortress get the news so quickly, and these people did not look like the group he had left behind.

"I'm Nesta. Nesta replied loudly and at the same time issued a code signal for the soldiers to prepare for battle, this is the rear of the fortress, the defense is much weaker than the front, and it can break through the enemy blockade with minimal cost and flee back to the Red Shadow Territory.

"General Nesta, please wait, I'll report to Lord Kanita now!"

This answer stunned Nesta, and soon Kanita's familiar figure appeared in front of her: "Is it General Nesta?"

"Lord Canita! it's me!" Nesta breathed a sigh of relief, ordering the soldiers to disarm.

"Remove the guards and let the general's team in!" Kanita hurriedly ordered.

Nesta led the exhausted cavalry into the fortress, and it was clear from the light that many of the cavalrymen had arrows stuck in them, most of them wounded.

Kanita frowned and said, "General, I just received a report from the scout, there was a fierce battle on the side of the mountain ahead, and the light of the magic crystal cannon, guessing that the general is fighting the enemy......

"Alas!" Nesta sighed bitterly, "it was I who was oversight, and was in a hurry to go to the town of Dico, and as a result, I fell into an ambush by the enemy, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses, and I will ask His Highness the Lord Regent for his guilt." ”

"There is an old saying in the demon world, victory and defeat are commonplace, the general should not be too depressed, I believe that this shame will be washed away by the general's blood and victory. ”

Nesta looked at Kanita with a hint of appreciation in her eyes: "That's right, thanks to you this time, Lord Canita, when you came, did you see the cavalry I left behind to defend and the Neyinghadi arranged by Lord Zhuoche?"

"I was about to report this to the General, when I received a signal from the General and hurried to the Moonlight Fortress, I found Hadi and the cavalry of the Shadow Legion fighting, and all of them died heroically. After I took down Hadi, I found that this person turned out to be a fake, and the internal response laid by the imperial capital and my father was all discovered by the enemy, which was purely a trap laid by the Dark Moon General. It's a pity that I arrived here too late, the march of the general's cavalry regiment was too fast, and the scouts couldn't catch up with ......"..., "Your speed is fast enough, if it weren't for you, maybe the Shadow Legion would have suffered even greater losses." "Originally, Kanita was just a lord's son in Nesta's eyes, but now it seems that she really has some ability, "Darkmoon's preparation and intelligence capabilities are far beyond my expectations, and she also has very terrifying weapons, this fortress can't stay for long, the enemy's pursuers are likely to arrive soon, we must evacuate as soon as possible." ”

"The general is right, I just received a report from the scouts that the enemy has assembled and are heading towards this side. However, the soldiers of your legion are not lightly injured, and the distance from Mordor Town is too far, if you rush directly, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support, so let's go to the Bloodmist Valley where I am stationed first, where there are enough supplies to take a good rest, and the army of Dark Moon will retake the Moonlight Fortress at most, and will never dare to enter the territory of Chi You. ”

Nesta looked at the scarred and exhausted Legionnaire and agreed, "Until then, it's best to destroy as much of the magic array and defenses as possible in the Moonlight Fortress. ”

"Don't worry, General, I've already arranged it. Kanita smiled confidently: "And that captive Hadi, after returning to the Valley of Blood Mist, the general can interrogate him carefully, and there may be an unexpected gain." ”

At the mention of Hardy, Nesta's eyes flashed with murderous aura and nodded: "Then without further ado, let's set off immediately, evacuate the Moonlight Fortress, and head to the Bloodmist Valley!"

Soon, Nesta quickly left the Moonlight Fortress with the remnants of the army and the men and horses of Chiyou, and headed for the territory of Chiyou.

ps: I sincerely wish all my friends all their wishes come true, the whole family is safe and healthy, and thank you for your support!
