Act 178 The Battle of the White Lion I

In the forest at dusk, people stood up and their horses neighed, and the roars of the dragons resounded through the forest. It was like a huge monster clashing in the forest. It made people feel uneasy when they heard it, and the White Legion was among them. The Earthly Dragon Knights felt as if arrows were flying towards them from all directions, and they didn't know how many men and horses were ambushing them in the dark, so they had to choose to retreat temporarily. . .

The setting sun crossed the long and long ridges and swayed into the valley. The sky and the earth were filled with orange-red color. Juta's long flame-like hair looked extremely dazzling in the setting sun. After she opened the long crossbow and shot several arrows in succession, she saw The pioneer knight of the Cruz people began to retreat and immediately ordered the young wizard beside him: "Quick, act according to the plan!"

"Captain, you have to give me a break." Crewe was so tired that the sweat on his forehead was like a waterfall. He couldn't help complaining loudly: "Do you think this kind of large-scale illusion can be used just as it says, let alone two people?" indivual."

"Don't talk nonsense. This is an order. If you can't do it, I will chop off your head with a sword."

Crewe couldn't help but curse in his heart, completely ignoring that the person who made this plan was Mel, whom he had praised before. However, despite the curse, he still recited the curse as quickly as possible - he put the staff in his hand As soon as he raised his head, a hazy army suddenly appeared under his command, just like the mist in the mountains that gathered out of thin air. In the mist, the men raised their backs and their horses neighed, outlining the outline of a cavalry ready to go. Crewe shivered and maintained The staff in his hand was sweating like rain, and the army also passed through the forest parallel to the retreating Cruz knights, killing towards the flanks of their large group of men.

The hesitation distance is at least two to three hundred meters. Through the thick woods and dim light, the panicked Knight Cruz didn't have much time to confirm the authenticity of this cavalry. When they saw this cavalry outflanking them, they couldn't help but be frightened. There was obviously a large army ambushing in front of them. If this cavalry were to outflank them and cut off their retreat, wouldn't they all be killed? I have to explain here, even though they were escorting thousands of skeletons, they actually had little combat effectiveness. Unless the number is really in the tens of thousands, Madara always counts tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers on the frontal battlefield in order to avoid being noticed. What they are escorting is only a group of this skeleton army. If the tens of thousands of skeleton army are here, it will be almost the same.

Without thinking, the leading knight immediately shouted a warning to the other side of the forest. At the same time, he took out a signal bomb from the bag under the saddle. With a raise of his hand, the magic runes in it were activated, and a dazzling flare was shot into the air with a bang.

The red and dazzling light slowly rose over the valley, like a bouquet of fireworks, blooming in mid-air——

Sir Marjorie raised his head, and this eye-catching light was reflected in his eyes. Doing the same thing as him, there were dozens of knights around him, all of whom were looking up at the sky, but the horse It only took Ruoli a moment to react. He immediately turned around and waved his hand. Roaring: "There is an ambush, back to back, form a formation, Argent, Pierre, let those skeletons move to guard against the cavalry attack!"

I have to say that as the frontline legion of the Cruz Empire,

The performance of the knights of the White Legion was perfect. They didn't panic at all. They seemed to take action in an instant to form a circular formation. The huge earth-moving dragons fell one by one under the tameness of these excellent riders. The body allowed them to level the spears, and with a soft bang, a row of spears stood up in the forest.

The named knights came out one by one and began to form a team for the skeletons. In fact, they did not need to do anything. The undead had no morale and would not panic due to the surprise attack. Under the orders of the controller, they The marching formation quickly became tighter, and rows of rows gathered together to guard against possible cavalry attacks. The knights in charge of the whole team found that their only role seemed to be to be a good flag bearer, and to serve as a flag bearer for each skeleton column. Just mark the location on the battlefield.

Within ten minutes, a completely orderly and rigorous array appeared in the forest——

Seeing this scene happening from a distance, several young people from Eruin had obvious expressions of surprise on their faces, even the proposer of the plan, Mel himself, was no exception - you know, in a war Developing a combat plan is only one aspect, but whether the script goes as planned is another aspect. This is related to many factors, and it is not just genius that can solve the problem. For example, some commanders are cautious, and some commanders are cautious. Reckless, in a situation where both the enemy and ourselves are unknown, in fact, many ever-changing situations on the battlefield can only be left to Lord Martha to decide.

At this time, the young knights on Eruin's side couldn't help shouting in their hearts: Martha bless you!

"Don't relax, this won't take too long." Yuta is a mercenary captain after all. At this time, he did not forget to pour cold water on these forgetful young people: "If you say no later, you will have to fight in a bloody battle. If you can How long this Cruz army can hold off depends on your ability."

But several young people were obviously a little excited, thinking that the Cruz people were nothing more than that, and did not take much of what she said. Yuta knew what they were thinking and couldn't help but sigh. She was actually not optimistic about the next battle. The performance of the Cruz people was beyond her expectation. The combat quality displayed by these foreign knights was definitely not comparable to that of ordinary armies. Even if they were The White Lion Guards under the lord she had seen in Tonigel were not necessarily stronger than this, or even slightly inferior.

Cruz is Cruz. The spirit of the empire cannot be compared to a small country like Eruin.

But she also knew that she could no longer give any words of advice at this time. The military morale was available, and she would not do anything to hurt morale. She just didn't know how long these young people could survive. She looked over at Mel. The young man from the Royal Knights Academy also frowned slightly, but overall he was much less worried than she was.

At least the Cruz people were already on the move. Changing formations on the battlefield was not an easy task. Even if they found something was wrong, it would take at least ten minutes to make a new decision, plus the time to readjust their formations. It was more than enough to drag them here for an hour, but that was not enough. We had to use the terrain to fight these knights as long as possible. Juta glanced at the sunset. They just hope that the solar energy will set down the mountain as soon as possible. After dusk, it will not be so easy for the Cruz people to figure out how many people are in the mountain forest.

In fact, the moment the vanguard knights of the White Legion rushed out of the forest, Maroli and the knights around him had already discovered the anomaly. Unlike those knights who fled back in desperation, they could judge the current situation more calmly. Situation, Marjorie was worried about how many people were ahead. Which force does it come from? Is it the army of Ludwig's nobles? Or the Black Legion? Or the army in Port Fatan? He was thinking about this problem until the rumble of horse hooves sounded in the forest.

"The sound of horse hooves?" Sir Marjorie was slightly startled, thinking that it was the light cavalry. This is not surprising at first. In this kind of terrain, light cavalry is easier to deploy than heavy cavalry. For example, his ground dragon knights can only passively defend, but the problem is-the sound of horse hooves is too dense.

For a knight like him who is experienced in the military. It's like instinct. From the sound of footsteps and horse hooves, one can determine the enemy's direction, approximate size, and even speed and other factors. Although I don't say how accurate it is, there is still no problem in guessing. The familiarity with war has long penetrated into the blood of these professional knights, and Maroli quickly realized the problem. Such a dense sound of horse hooves meant that at least one light cavalry was rapidly advancing in a dense formation in the forest.

This is so unreasonable.

At this time, the priest accompanying him also reminded him in time: "Mr. Knight, look at the cavalry in the forest." A priest who seemed to be no more than 20 years old pointed to the direction of the forest and said to him: "That cavalry. The cavalry doesn't look real. It's most likely an illusion caused by a spell."

Marjorie was not familiar with magic, but this sentence was enough for him. He immediately realized that he had been fooled. "That cavalry is fake, be careful of the enemy's tricks!" he yelled angrily.

Before he finished speaking, the army that broke through the fog suddenly dissipated, like a diffuse mist, dissipating invisible in the forest.

At this time, everyone realized that they had had a false alarm.

"Oops," next to Yuta and others, Crewe couldn't help but scream, and shouted in shame and anger: "The spell has failed, someone has lifted my spell!"

He looked like he had just been fished out of the water. He was covered in sweat, but it was all dripping with sweat. After casting these two spells, he was completely unable to move, supporting the Silver Silver Tree beside him. Breathing loudly.

"It doesn't matter, it's none of your business, Kru, you did a good job. They should have noticed that it was the priest who accompanied the army who took action." Yuta comforted him: "Then you hide aside and rest. Restore your magic power and stay away from the battlefield, we will attract their attention."

Although Kelu was weak, he couldn't help but jump when he heard these words. Although he had been cursing before, he knew very well that the next battle would be the most dangerous. If he wanted to hold off this Cruze cavalry, he would not only have to make the opponent unclear about how many of them there were, but also make the opponent feel physical pain. That's right, this will definitely be a tough battle, and it may cost you blood and lives.

Anyone here could die here, and he was certainly no exception.

"I want to be with you, and you can't even think of leaving me behind." He retorted loudly.

"A wizard's first priority on the battlefield is to protect himself wisely." The beautiful female mercenary leader shook her head gracefully, her red hair like an unfolding flame, and she said to the young wizard with a smile.

"This..." Crewe suddenly found that almost all his companions were on the side of his leader, and couldn't help but stare and said: "You..."

But before he could finish his words, he felt someone hit him hard behind him, his vision went dark, and he fell down immediately.

Mel reached out to catch him, then raised his head and gave Juta a wink.

"We need someone to send a message to the lord. This task will be handed over to him. You go and place him and make a magic mark on the tree -"

Mel nodded, turned around and disappeared in front of everyone.

After he left, Jutta drew his sword, turned around and said calmly to the young knights in front of him: "Don't look at me with such a tragic expression. We are not going to die. What are you afraid of? What are you expecting? What? Before this day, did you ever think that you would gallop on the land of the Cruz Empire and fight against the world's number one opponent like the White Army? Some of you may sleep here forever, but no one dares to laugh at you for this. You, because your opponents are so powerful and respectable, but once you succeed, our names will be heard throughout the land of Warnd after today."

The young man's eyes couldn't help but shine brightly. The burning flame was a gambler's determination and endless desire and pursuit of victory.

"Remember your names. We are the White Lion Guard. It was the Lord who gave you this name. He has never failed, and so have you." The sword in the hand of the female mercenary captain made a flash in the sunset. The bright arc points forward, like a straight belief, indestructible and shining: "Follow me and let this lion show its claws."

The young knights agreed loudly and shouted in unison: "Fight for Eruin, glory is in me, and glory is my sword!"

Under the setting sun, the mountains seem to be sleeping forever.

Sir Marjorie made his own judgment immediately.

The number of enemies would not be too large, otherwise there would be no need to make such a trick. The opponent's purpose is obviously to try to keep him here. This is not an ambush, but an interception. But the problem lies in how many people are involved in the interception. If there are not too many, then he can choose to force a breakout, but if there are too many, then he may hit his head and get bloody.

He suddenly fell into hesitation.

The empty valley lay open in front of the Cruz people, like a gaping mouth, behind which was full of unknowns and uneasiness.

"Sir Knight, it's time for you to make a decision." After the crowd separated, a middle-aged man in a robe came out from behind and said to Marjorie: "The people in front are obviously stalling for time. They may be We can’t stay here too long while we wait for reinforcements.”

Sir Marjorie looked back at this man. This man was as pale as a vampire and so thin that he could be blown over by a gust of wind. Sir Marjorie looked back at him and glanced at a dark crystal in this man's hand. Ring couldn't help but nodded: "Don't worry, Master An Xili, we will definitely send you to Wallach safely."

The man smiled contemptuously: "You don't need to call me a master. I know my identity clearly in my heart. I'm not urging you, but I just want to remind you that we don't know where the people in front of us come from yet." Which force, under such circumstances, it is best to make a quick decision to avoid long nights and dreams."

Sir Marjorie nodded slowly, then looked at his knights.

"Let's make a tentative attack——"

"etc."

"What's wrong?" Sir Marjorie asked with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

"It's better to let my skeletons do it. It's not cost-effective to waste the noble knights of the empire on testing, and my men were originally used for this, so they deserved their death." The man rubbed his ring and replied slowly. .

Ma Ruoli was very angry that this man compared human life with cost-effectiveness, but she also knew that he had good intentions, so the look on his face relaxed slightly, and then he nodded.
