Chapter 498: Ambush (I Wish Everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
Remember for a second
The cavalry took advantage of the degree to break through the blockade of the arrow rain and escaped the encirclement of the valley.
"Troai, quickly count the number of casualties and report the number of casualties." Nesta gasped slightly, maintaining the power of the domain to protect the surrounding soldiers under the situation just now, which really consumes a lot of money.
Because of this, no one can replace Nesta's prestige and status in the Shadow Knights.
Soon, Troy reported: "There are still 14,500 cavalry left, of which about 3,000 were seriously injured and about 5,000 were slightly injured. Also, Lord Ansp has not returned yet."
"Ansp is a strong demon emperor. Even if he can't defeat the enemy, escaping should not be a problem, but this time we didn't even touch the enemy's side, and we lost more than 5,000 people."
This number is more than Nesta imagined, and he can't help clenching his fists. If he hadn't noticed it early and hadn't gone deep into the trap, it might have been far more than this level of casualties.
Troy frowned and said, "General, it seems that the enemy used all high-level magic arrows just now. The armor-piercing ability is extremely strong, and our round shields have been penetrated."
"All of them are high-level armor-piercing magic arrows?" Nesta sucked in a breath. These are not ordinary arrows. The cost is terrifyingly high. This kind of quality arrow, only some legion leaders can afford to use, the enemy is taking money to smash people...
"Some soldiers are seriously injured, do you want to rest in place?"
"I can't stop." Nesta shook his head, "March as fast as possible, and immediately rush back to Moonlight Fortress. I hope the situation doesn't reach the worst level in my estimation."
——That Hardy, there is probably a problem. Before the Moonlight Fortress was easily taken down, it felt a little wrong, but at that time, the time was pressing to attack Dicko Town, so I didn’t have time to think about it. Even if I reserved a hand in advance, it may not be possible. It worked, now we must rush to Moonlight Fortress as soon as possible, or even return to Chiyou Territory
Troy wanted to say something, but when he saw Nesta's firm eyes, he immediately gave up his plan and ordered the soldiers to march at all costs.
After a period of time, the cavalry regiment ran along the road to the winding mountain road. As long as they climbed over the two mountains in front, they could reach the Moonlight Fortress smoothly.
However, at this time, Nesta, who was at the forefront of the team, suddenly had an extremely dangerous premonition. There was no trace in advance. It was purely an instinctive omen of a high-level powerhouse.
Before saying "be careful", I saw a dazzling light lit up somewhere on the side.
At first it was just a spot of light, and then it turned into a ball of flame wrapped in a faint purple color, and there seemed to be a crackling electric light flashing in the middle, which was especially dazzling in the middle of the night.
Almost instantly, the flames magnified in front of the cavalry, and the aura of destruction erupted with an astonishing force with a dull loud noise.
In the landslide, hundreds of cavalrymen within about 100 meters instantly turned into magic horses and knights nearby, and their stumps fluttered in the huge air wave. There is a faint sound of residual energy
"Magic Crystal Cannon" Nesta roared with horror
He had never seen a magic crystal cannon with such terrifying power.
Originally, Nesta was still thinking about how to plan a counterattack after arriving at the Moonlight Fortress to wash away the shame, 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 if he was hit by this magic crystal cannon, even with the strength in the middle of his demon emperor, he would be seriously injured.
Another blast of white light came from behind. Unlike the previous cannonball-style explosion, the white light this time was a straight beam, but the diameter was a bit exaggerated, and it was a continuous amount of energy. Anything swept by the "beam" Everywhere, the living bodies are broken down into particles and dissipated. After the beam clears a fan-shaped position, it finally weakens and disappears.
Nesta doesn't want to fight back at all now, there is only one belief: escape
Take the soldiers out of these terrifying magic crystal cannons
"Launch the ghost charge as far as possible, and rush back to the Moonlight Fortress with all your strength." Nesta roared, two wings appeared behind him, a long sword and a huge square shield in his hand, and flew in the direction of the magic crystal cannon. go
Originally, as the head coach, I couldn't move lightly, but the situation is urgent now, and Ansp is not here. As the only demon emperor with flying ability, he must go to destroy the biggest threat of the magic crystal cannon.
The Shadow Charge can generally only be used once a day. If you want to use it, the magic circle will consume a lot of life force of the knights and mounts. However, the situation at hand is urgent. wipe out all
Although the power of the two magic crystal cannons is terrifying, they all have the common problem of magic crystal cannons, that is, due to the huge amount of energy released during the cooling period, they must rely on the magic array to cool down, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the power and explode.
Nesta's figure hadn't reached the position of the magic crystal cannon, and he felt a strange wave of spiritual shock coming. The pain in the brain was so severe that it seemed to be split. A black shadow, two faint blue lights in his hand struck like lightning
When Nesta was in a hurry, he shrank his body and put the square shield in front of him, only to hear the constant "ding ding" sound. He didn't know how many attacks he blocked the enemy in an instant, and the shield in his hand could hardly be held steady.
Nesta was secretly shocked, the shield slammed, and a shield slam forced the opponent away, followed by his right hand.
His long sword stabbed towards the shadow, and a terrifying black flame appeared on the long sword, with a strong aura of destruction, it was the black flame, the strongest attack talent of the Lucifer family.
After the black figure floated, the blue light that seemed to be a double blade in his hand began to rotate, forming a force field similar to a vacuum. The action is extremely fast, taking advantage of the strength on the opponent's sword to use old, the blue light is like a long snake around a tree, coiling over the long sword and instantly swept to Nesta's throat,
Nesta hurriedly raised her head and narrowly avoided it. She quickly blocked the shield in front of her. The moment the shield covered her body, her ribs and lower abdomen felt numb at the same time, as if she had been electrocuted. Then came a cracking drama. pain
The magic crystal cannons in the distance shot out terrifying rays of light again, and there were actually more than two. Although the cooling time was a problem, the power was too terrifying. Wherever they went, the lives of the soldiers of the Shadow Legion were quickly harvested. Many soldiers have already rushed into the mountain road, and escaped the scythe of the god of death under the cover of the terrain.
The deaths of the soldiers made Nesta look stunned, but the opponent in front of him was stronger than himself. In addition to his terrifying strength and speed, he also possessed that terrifying divine impact ability. Even leaving is a problem
This raid was a complete failure, and the cavalry regiment suffered heavy losses. The Moonlight Fortress in front may be in danger, and the remaining soldiers must be led out of danger.
As soon as he thought of this, Nesta's whole body burst out with an astonishing aura, as if he was about to take a desperate blow, but it was a feint, and the wings on his back burst into flames, so that the two talents of Black Flame and Holy Light Wing were forcibly merged for Ness. The tower's current strength is quite dangerous. The internal organs have been severely damaged due to the backlash, but the effect is also quite obvious. The wings have only fluttered far away.
Nesta's flight speed suddenly accelerated several times, and the black shadow holding the blue-light double knives couldn't catch up with the pupil of the left eye and suddenly turned into a golden color, and a beam of golden light burst out, hitting Nestanes who flew far away Tower snorted, ignoring the injury, but instead used this strength to fly away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"If it's on the ground, it's no wonder this guy can run away." Hei Ying waved the blue knife in his hand angrily, making a hissing sound of slashing the air.
Following the terrain of the mountain road, Nesta reluctantly gathered the remaining soldiers and rushed towards the Moonlight Fortress. He did not ask Troy, who was seriously injured, to report the casualties, because only by visual inspection, he could judge that the soldiers who followed were no more than 5,000.
The loss this time is far beyond imagination. What is aggrieved is that the enemy has basically no casualties except for the very few killed by Ansp Taking advantage of the terrain and light to a certain extent, the cavalry have powerful maneuvering, but they cannot play their own advantages at all. Only those who are passively beaten, especially the terrifying magic crystal cannon, must report it to the regent. Your Highness
The opponent's attack just now was very strange. The last blow seriously damaged his spiritual power and body at the same time. Nesta drank a bottle of healing potion and tried his best to suppress the injury in his body, and finally led the soldiers to cross the two mountains. The road in front of you is wide open, and you can see the brightly lit Moonlight Fortress in the distance, especially shining in the darkest hours before dawn.
Due to the previous experience of mid-future, Nesta did not dare to neglect, and told the soldiers not to put down their defenses and be ready to fight at any time.
"Which general of the Shadow Legion?" The fortress guard who noticed the arrival of the cavalry had already shouted, and looked at the cavalry not far away with wariness.
Nesta didn't relax his vigilance at all because of this question. Instead, he became suspicious. He had led the army to Diko Town before, and now he has retreated. How did the Moonlight Fortress get the news so quickly? And these people don't look like the team they left behind
"I'm Nesta," Nesta replied loudly, and at the same time issued a signal to let the soldiers prepare for battle. This is the rear of the fortress. The defense is much weaker than the front. It can break through the enemy's blockade at the least cost and escape. Back to Chiyou Territory
"General Nesta, please wait a moment, I will report to Lord Kanita now"
Nesta was startled by this answer, and soon, a familiar figure of Kanita appeared in front: "Is it General Nesta?"
"Lord Kanita is me" Nesta was really relieved and ordered the soldiers to disarm
"Remove the protection and let the general's team come in" Carnita quickly ordered
Nesta brought the exhausted cavalry into the fortress. It was clearly visible under the lights. Many of the cavalry had arrows stuck in their bodies, most of them were wounded.
Kanita frowned and said, "General, I received a report from a scout just now that there was a fierce battle on the side of the mountain ahead, and the light of the magic crystal cannon. I guessed that the general was fighting the enemy..."
"Alas," Nesta sighed sadly: "It was me who was oversight and rushed to Diko Town. As a result, I was ambushed by the enemy. The soldiers suffered heavy losses. I will ask His Royal Highness the Regent to apologize."
"There is an old saying in the devil world. Victory and defeat are common affairs. The general should not be too depressed. I believe that this shame will be washed away by the general with blood and victory."
Nesta looked at Carnita with a hint of admiration: "That's right, thanks to you this time, Your Excellency Carnita, when you came, did you see the defensive cavalry and the cavalry I left behind? Mr. Zhuoqi arranged for Hardy?"
"I was about to report this to the general. I received a signal from the general. When the fire came to the Moonlight Fortress, I happened to find Hadi and the cavalry of the Shadow Legion fighting. All those cavalry sacrificed heroically. After I took Hadi, It turned out that this person was a fake, and the enemies laid out by dì dū and my father were seen through by the enemy. This was purely a trap laid by the dark moon. Unfortunately, I arrived here too late. The march of the general’s cavalry regiment was too fast. Chase
Can't make it in time..."
"Your speed is fast enough. If it weren't for you, the Shadow Legion might have suffered great losses." In the eyes of Kanita Nesta, he was just a lord's son-in-law, but now it seems that he is really capable. , "Darkmoon's preparation and intelligence capabilities are far beyond my expectations, and it also has very terrifying weapons. This fortress can't stay for a long time. The enemy's pursuit is likely to arrive soon, and we must evacuate as soon as possible."
"The general is right, I received a report from the scouts just now that the enemy has already assembled and marched towards this side, but the soldiers of your legion are not seriously injured, the distance from Mordor Town is too far, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support if you go directly. , I'd better go to the Blood Mist Valley where I am stationed first, there are enough supplies there, you can take a good rest, the dark moon's army will at most regain the moonlight fortress, and will never dare to enter the territory of Chiyou"
Nesta looked at the scarred and exhausted legionnaires and agreed: "Before this, it is best to destroy the magic circle and defense facilities of the Moonlight Fortress as much as possible."
"Don't worry, General, I have already made arrangements." Kanita showed a confident smile: "And that prisoner Hadi, after returning to the Blood Mist Valley, the General can interrogate it carefully, and there may be unexpected gains."
Mentioning Hardy, Nesta flashed murderous intent in his eyes and nodded: "Then it's not too late, let's set off immediately, evacuate the Moonlight Fortress, and head to the Bloodmist Valley."
Soon, Nesta left the Moonlight Fortress with the remnant soldiers and Chiyou's troops and headed for the territory of Chiyou.
