The whistling Noxian cavalry held a leather wooden shield in his left hand, a two-meter-three three-pointed cypress cavalry spear in his right hand, and was draped in an iron-inlaid battle skirt weighing more than fifty pounds.

At this moment, on the left and right flanks, a cavalry team of 1,000 men outflanked both sides of the Heidi camp like large pincers about to close, and soon caught up with the more than 5,000 Heidi soldiers who were evacuating.

Horace didn't expect the Noxians to charge so decisively, he knew very well that if he couldn't stop the cavalry, once he was caught up by the Noxian infantry behind, these five thousand soldiers would have to be explained here, and the other five thousand people in the second line of defense were laying magic traps at the moment, and there was no way to support them.

"Conan! You lead 500 men to stay behind! Be sure to hold off the opposing cavalry! ”

Knowing that this was an order to send him to death, Conan yelled without complaint.

"Who has any mana left? Follow me! ”

"For the sake of Lord Heidi!!"

"Kill!!"

Seeing that his soldiers were about to bite the tail of the Heidi, before Kree could start to charge, he saw hundreds of people swimming against the current, raising their palms in his direction.

In the next second, more than a hundred magic light arrows came straight towards the direction of the cavalry's impact, because the charging formation was too dense, the riders had no chance to dodge for a while, and more than fifty riders were directly blown off the flying horses by the magic, and for a time they fell on their backs, and there was chaos.

The momentum of the cavalry charge stalled, and several riders even began to instinctively turn their horses' heads.

With an axe snapping through several magical arrows of light that came at him, Kree glanced back at the knight who was following him, his eyes began to become bloodshot, and his reason gradually lost.

He couldn't remember the names of all the Noxian riders, but the yodelers' innate gift for emotional perception taught him that he was a respected general by humans, that they didn't fool or laugh at themselves like other yodelers, and that they were their closest comrades.

The self-proclaimed title of Cavalry General is also a recognition of the bravery of the Noxian riders, and now, so many comrades and companions have died in the inexplicable magic sneak attack.

He could accept the dignified death of his men on the battlefield, but he could not accept the death of a despicable magical sneak attack.

"Scum!! I'm going to kill you!! Sgal !!! ”

Sensing the monstrous rage from the master's emotions, Sgal, who had been a little flinched by the magic light arrow, finally pricked up his ears covered with dragon scales, and the dragon lizard quickened his pace and roared in his own way: "Gollum, Gurr, Quack!!! ”

The Magic Steel Axe glowed with blood, and the desire to kill made the Demon Steel Axe, Kree, and Sgar become one, and like a blood-colored streamer, they broke away from the cavalry behind them, and killed the Heidi mage who had just organized a resistance formation alone.

"Attack that yodeler !!"

Conan roared and gave the order, but before the Heidi mages could lock on to their targets, the blood-colored axe cracked head-on, directly cutting the first three Heidi people from shoulder to waist into two pieces, and then the dragon lizard knight rampaged like a blood-colored whirlwind, so that the heavily injured Heidi mage could no longer stand in place and cast spells.

"Why is this dwarf so strong?"

As soon as the last thought came to him, Conan lost consciousness, his head flew high, and landed decently among the piles of corpses.

In the next second, the Noxian cavalry who followed closely behind raised their spears and pierced the robed Hedi mages to the ground.

While Kree and the cavalry on the right flank were on a rampage, the cavalry lieutenant on the left flank bypassed the five hundred Heidi, who were already doomed to death, and continued to chase forward despite the magical light shooting from behind.

Further behind, Margaret's infantry quickly approached.

Pursued by the cavalry, the Heidi were in disarray, and the retreat finally turned into a rout, and by the time they had withdrawn to the second line of defense, Horace found that less than 3,000 had escaped from the 5,000 men.

Horace, whose heart was dripping blood, began to regain his strength, and seeing that the cavalry was still in pursuit, the man directly gave the order to attack.

Thousands of magic lights lost the cavalry on the left flank, and the leading cavalry lieutenant turned into a mass of broken flesh, and the sparse five hundred people fell directly to a large piece.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

As soon as the red-eyed cavalry stepped into the magic trap, they were blown into minced meat by the sudden burst of magical energy, and seeing that they couldn't do anything, the remaining more than a hundred riders finally chose to turn their horses and retreat backwards, but Horace did not let go of the cavalry, and in the attack of the magic light, the last hundred or so riders also fell to the ground and melted into a pool of blood.

"Save mana! Remember to aim when casting spells! ”

Under the counterattack of the Heidi, Alice had to stop the offensive and began to gather the team.

Originally, he wanted to use the magic trap hidden on the ground to drag the Noxians here, but Horace saw the roaring explosion again, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

Due to misestimating the trajectory, several crossbows shot directly into the area of the magic trap, and the furious fire element detonated a large area of land, blowing up more than a dozen large and small craters, and the magic traps used to block the attack became completely ornamental.

Horace didn't dare to bet on how many alchemical ballistae the enemy had, and seeing that the second line of defense was not working as well as it should, knowing that his men would never be able to experience a second rout, he gave the order to retreat to the Karyas anvil.

Knowing the truth of the poor Kou Mo chasing, due to the heavy losses of the cavalry, Alice did not have the intention of continuing to persecute, and also chose to withdraw his troops from Mingjin, no longer dealing with magic traps, but simply cleaned up the battlefield and withdrew to Fort Northumbr.

……

The tents had been reduced to ashes, the Heidis had retreated to the north, and the siege of Fort Northumbre had been lifted.

The Emerald Leader Support Corps held a simple military meeting.

Sitting on the first seat and letting the middle-level generals below discuss spontaneously, Alice frowned and said nothing.

Obviously everything was going well in the war, but Alice always felt that something was wrong.

However, Kree scolded the shameless way of the Heidi, and angrily leaned the big axe against the base of the wall, and Kree sat down on the barstool and took off his hat, and slammed it on the table, and the murderous yodelers made the other generals shut their mouths.

"These hedgehog people who don't have the guts to fight us head-on at all! Their strange energy magic doesn't seem to need chanting and magic circles at all, it can be triggered directly and can't be guarded, we need more cavalry! Hard armor that can withstand their energy magic is also needed! As long as they can rush in front of them, they will only become lambs to the slaughter! ”

"The Black Guard's armor may be able to withstand the Heidi's magical attacks, but our horses can't carry the weight of the Black Guard, and we can't outrun the lightly armed Heidi mages on our legs."

"Lord Edmund, I don't know if there are any mages in the Black Rose who can attach a magic shield, at least to be able to resist three attacks by Heidi's magic."

"Yes, yes, but unfortunately this kind of magic doesn't last too long, and we can't apply a magic barrier to too many people, it's just that dozens of people have a barrier that makes no sense, it's better to save mana and defend against attacks by releasing a massive barrier......"

"I heard that in addition to the mage legion, the Heidi people also have a legion composed of ordinary people, but unfortunately our enemies are not those with swords, but mages who can't touch the edge at all......"

Listening to her subordinates discussing the post-war summary, Alice was suddenly stunned.

"You say, why did the Heidi deliberately leave the mage legion behind us to deal with us? Was it to capture Fort Northumbr? ”

The generals were stunned for a moment, and some didn't quite understand what Alice meant.

"I mean, including the tents and traps that the Heidi deliberately left behind, it seems that from the purpose alone, they just want to inflict enough damage on us, and the intention to capture Fort Northumbr is very strong, and those remote mages alone can't take Fort Northumbr, so what's the point of their harassment?"

"Alice, you mean, they're dragging their feet? However, with our forces alone, it is impossible to go to Xuelai Fortress to relieve the siege, at most, it is to harass the supply line of the Heidi people north of the Caryas Anvil, and it is useless for them to mobilize a mage army of 10,000 people to deal with us, but they will lose their troops like today.

When Margaret's reinforcements arrive, the Dalmo Plains are so big that there will be no second force that will be our evenly matched opponent, so there is no point in delaying time. ”

In the entire legion, only Kree called herself and the captain by name, knowing the nature of the yodelers, and Alice didn't care about this small offense, she only felt that she was about to grasp a key point, like a film that could be broken as soon as she was stabbed, but she was always in a state of probing in the fog before she was pierced.

"That's where it doesn't make sense...... Kree, I need your cavalry to scout the situation near Fort Northumbr. ”

"No problem, I'm still unsatisfied."

Picking up his hat from the table and putting it on, Kree shouldered his large axe.

"If I find an enemy, I will chop it down with my axe......"

"If you find the enemy, you must evacuate quickly, everything is based on safety, this is the order!"

Pouting, Kree waved his hand.

"Okay, okay, you're the boss, you have the final say."

……

In the middle of winter, at noon.

The unsettling aura of war spread from the border line of the [Kingdom of Norsland], so that the soldiers of the [Meteorite Fortress] close to the Black Iron River nervously held spears and short bows in their hands, and watched a hideous black dragon go up the river, in the fluttering banner, the general Anthony recognized the meaning of the [Winged Sword], and hurriedly wrote an urgent letter, using the magic carrier pigeon as the letter carrier to send it to the royal capital [Moon Rim City].

The generals of the Kingdom of Norsland understood that the owner of the Black Dragon was a neighbor in the southwest on the plains of Noxachi, both belonging to Noxus, but it was a unique and independent territory.

The jade collar produces many court luxuries that the upper nobles like to use, and it is also a territory blessed by the gods and blessed by angels, the silver dragon knight, and the name of the demon lord Lyster is known to everyone, especially the gold coin of the jade collar is engraved on the front of the lord's handsome honor, which makes countless young ladies crazy, and even caused a frenzy of collecting jade collar gold coins in the past few years.

Whether it is the Emerald Collar or the Lyist, it is the favorite topic of communication among the ladies of the court, thanks to this, Anthony knows very well what it means for the Emerald Collar to send troops.

The [Angel Dance] in the royal house is a rare treasure to worship and appreciate in the eyes of most people, but in Anthony's view, the Angel Dance means that the divine power is absolutely crushing manpower, and he is willing to tell the story of the gods for his children before going to bed, but he is absolutely unwilling to face the gods on the battlefield.

A few kilometers away, because of the high terrain, you can see the endless convoys, but Anthony can't see how many troops there are on the convoys, only the black pressed armor is very conspicuous.

"No one is allowed to leave the fortress without my orders!"

After giving the order, Anthony left the fortress tower, and he had more important things to do before receiving specific news from the king.

More than forty large ships carrying soldiers, horses, grain and grass were heading towards the upper reaches of the Black Iron River, and with the blessing of magic, there was no need for oars, and the boats carrying more than 300 people could easily break the waves, leaving the scenery on both sides far behind.

At this moment, Margaret did not wear the heavy magic steel plate armor, but wore the lady's general's robe designed by Trisley, the clothes were ringing in the cold wind, but the woman was not moving.

The middle-aged woman with a majestic face just stood quietly looking at the eastern sky, squinted her eyes after the breeze blew, and glanced at the adjutant vigorously.

The female adjutant on the side consciously lowered her head and retreated, leaving time for the woman who held the supreme authority.

After the female adjutant left, Margaret sighed softly, revealing a little loneliness.

She hadn't seen her man for five years, and Margaret often spent the silent night thinking about everything that had happened in the past, thinking about the hugs the man had given her, thinking about the promises she had made to herself, and every time she woke up in the cold night, the man was not by her side, which made her wonder if the man would never come back, which seemed to have become her dream demon.

Even the Nightblade Slayer who traveled to the continent of Ionia to find news of the lord did not get any effective information, and even the Snake Assassin Alliance admitted that they had never seen a noxians riding dragonbirds and looking noble, so such terrible information does not mean anything, but it can also say something.

In fact, although the high-level leaders of the jade collar do not say it, they have this unspoken speculation in their hearts.

No one knew what was going on on the other continent across the Sea of Watchmen, and no one dared to pat their chests to guarantee that the mighty Lyster would be able to walk the rest of the world unharmed.

The reason why the Emerald Collar, which has no legal heir, has not gone into trouble is only because the man left his mask when he left, and the other woman put the mask on and made herself live like a man.

This is a full five years.

It's about to be its sixth year.

Margaret could not imagine the terrible scene of the people of the Emerald Lords knowing that their lord was missing forever without blood, and the woman did not want to imagine that the battlefield had already sharpened her into a cold iron man, like the armor she wore.

In this world, except for that man, no one can shake half of her emotions.

The woman was only very sure that after this rescue of the Vakur Warband, she would gradually transfer power to young Alice, and then she would lead the elite legions of the Emerald Lords to form a fleet across the oceans and set foot on another land that had never been set foot before.

Anything that stands in the way of her finding her man will be her undying enemy.
