Act 100 Eternity I
The Amber Sword, Act 100 Eternity I
At the moment when the dragon roars, the mountains shake. The Min'er people said that the dragon's shadow swept across the plains, and the wind brought by its wings would blow for a day and a night. When Aloz spread his wings and was still several miles away, the strong wind was already raging through the mountains and forests. The pennants on the spear points of the halflings on the ice field were ringing fiercely in the wind, and they were baring their teeth and claws, but the darkness that gripped their hearts was boundless fear.
"Dragon!" Someone screamed, and the neat team spread out on the snowy field. Seeing that he could no longer control the team, Kuwu had no choice but to escape to the northwest with the guarding knights around him. In the blink of an eye, Aloz was flying over these tiny creatures. She lowered her head, and a huge shadow enveloped the team of hundreds of people. Her golden eyes reflected the fleeing halflings. With her Interested, she first chose the small group of people to the south. About twenty or thirty halflings riding ponies were escaping into the crystal forest on the hillside. But how could Aloz give them this opportunity and lower his head directly? Breathing out a mouthful of golden flames.
A large ball of fire fell from the sky and landed on the glacier, instantly engulfing the halflings who were still running and turning them into ashes. The flames continued to burn on the solid ice, and even the ice layers made a sizzling sound as they melted layer by layer. , exposing the black igneous rocks below. These rocks that had been melted thousands of years ago were once again turned into lava in the flames. White water vapor rose up, rising tens of meters into the sky.
The scorching flames seemed to pluck the excited heartstrings in the little female dragon's heart. She let out a scream, vibrated her wings and raised them high. The flames spitting out of her mouth were like a golden sword plowing through the glacier and burning into the forest. among. Turn those icy forests into blazing pillars of fire. But it's not over yet. Her golden eyes are locked on another team, but this time she doesn't intend to continue spitting fire. Even a giant dragon can't spit out flames endlessly. That's just a fairy tale. It's just a mortal's delusion about dragons. Aloz rose high like an arrow, then swooped towards the halfling team, and she passed over their heads. The strong wind was like a sharp blade, blowing the halflings to pieces with a swipe. Some knights were even torn alive from their horses by the huge wind pressure. It hit the hard ice and rolled dozens of meters before coming to a stop. The impact had already caused the brain to burst.
Aloz looked at these unfortunate guys. She felt more and more proud, as if the sullenness she had felt before was completely vented, and she let out a clear and crisp laugh in mid-air, but to outsiders, this laughter only sounded like a deafening muffled thunder. The little female dragon circled in mid-air and landed heavily on the glacier. She stretched out her sharp claws to grab the ice to stabilize her body. The huge impact caused her to tear out a piece of flying ice on the ice. The ice chips left more than a dozen deep claw marks tens of meters long.
As soon as Aloz turned around and swung her tail, she swept away the halfling cavalry rushing at the front. She turned around and stopped in front of these little things. She stretched out her claws and slapped away a rider who couldn't stop the car. Her sharp claws were like four of the sharpest steel swords made by dwarves. With one stroke, she disemboweled the knight. Then she He lowered his head and swallowed the little thing in one gulp, including the man and the horse.
The dragon is not the incarnation of justice in any legend——
The halflings of Enhor who belonged to Anlek seemed to finally understand that there was no hope of escape.
So they all angrily picked up their spears and attacked. Although they were as fragile as children in front of the dragon, these halflings were not good men and women. They were first of all Alek's private soldiers. They had been on the battlefield and killed Extraordinary veterans, both soldiers and civilians died at their hands. Once on the battlefield, they are all desperate desperadoes. It's just that even the undead may not have the courage to fight the dragon.
Aloz looked at these tiny creatures and couldn't help but want to yawn. She casually cut off a few thrown spears, then raised her claws and beat the halfling cavalry that rushed forward into pieces one by one. , just like whack-a-mole, at the seventh shot, the halflings finally collapsed, turned around and ran away, crying and peeing.
When Kuwu turned around, he happened to see such a scene. Those were his tribesmen. His heart ached like a knife, but he knew that those people would not be able to escape. The giant dragon was just a cat playing with a mouse. The wind whistled in his ears. He held on to the reins tightly and leaned on the horse. The surrounding scenery quickly retreated from both sides, but he had no intention of retreating into the forest. Instead, he kept retreating along the snowfield to the north. . The two teams before were attracted by the terrible dragon because they were in a hurry to retreat into the forest. Dragons are very shrewd creatures, but most mortals only remember their savage side, but Kuwu knew this very well, so he led his guard knights to escape this disaster.
He no longer expected to survive this battle, but Kuwu knew very well that at least before dying, he must first find the hibernator temple and at least seal out the frost young dragon. This is what he can do Grand Duke Anlek said the last thing he did. But things were not that simple. The big-eared halfling turned around, and a silver light flickered on the horizon reflected in his field of vision.
The heroic girl on horseback is directing hundreds of knights to chase along the glacier. The Valkyrie is wearing Eruin's knight armor, with two cloaks flying behind her like wings. Behind her, she has experienced After the two incidents with the dragon and the heroic horse, Cruz's knights finally reluctantly accepted the fact that this girl became their temporary commander. This has nothing to do with Freya's leadership ability, but strength on the battlefield can indeed determine many things. Soldiers value force, and only those with strong fists can become the boss. This is an eternal truth.
The knights of the Knights of the Broken Sword rode fluorescent war horses, sweeping across the ice field like a rolling snow wave. Unlike the halfling ponies, the hooves of these heroic war horses did not sink into the snow at all. , as if flying on the snow, incredibly fast. Freya divided the knights into echelons, showing a diagonal distribution from left to right. She directed them to rush down the mountain forest, then advance northward along the west side of the snowfield, and soon caught up with the first fleeing halfling cavalry. .
"Luo Ji——! Others continue to move forward. Don't slow down!" the girl shouted, her voice spread far through the silver level's strength and echoed on the battlefield.
What Freya shouted was the name of the female knight with a somewhat thin face. This name made Luo Ji frown. The female knight even raised her head and glanced ahead, but did not answer. She felt a little uncomfortable being commanded by others. But as a soldier's obedient nature, she still drew her sword with a clang and shouted: "Tenth echelon. Prepare to attack!" The knights behind her responded in unison, and the sound of drawing swords was heard for a while, Knight Cruz raised his sword high. The bright sword blade reflected an undulating line of light on the snowy field.
Looking down from above on the snowfield, a slanting black line was advancing rapidly. It passed a scattered fleeing team and swallowed the team into the left wing. The tenth echelon of Cruz knights slowed down, but the other nine echelons continued to move forward. Freya lay on the horse and glanced back nervously, but she was quite satisfied with what was happening now - Broken Sword The knights of the Order were very tactically skilled and executed her tactics almost perfectly.
Freya seemed to finally feel relieved, and she raised her head. At this moment, the style of the future Valkyrie seemed to finally shine with a strange look on this girl from the countryside of Butchi. Her eyes were shining, she drew back her long sword and pointed it forward, and ordered firmly: "Third, fourth , the fifth echelon breaks away to the east, and the second, sixth, and seventh echelons launch a free attack. The eighth and ninth echelons are responsible for the finishing touches!"
"Everyone else, follow me!"
Under Freya's order, the battlefield immediately changed. The Cruze knights suddenly dispersed like a pack of wolves, running towards their respective goals, forming a faint momentum of encirclement - although they The enemies to be encircled were many times their number—but there was a giant dragon chasing the halflings as well. There is no fear in anyone's heart. What's more, they are proud Cruz elites, how could they bow to the hillbillies of Eruin? Even without Aloz on the field, they can still proudly launch a desperate charge against these halfling cavalry.
Freya's tactics showed results almost immediately, and Anlek's halflings finally met with disaster. These Cruz Knights were much more purposeful than the more playful Aloz, and what they executed was originally the wolf. Group tactics, like a group of winter wolves forming a small team, drive their prey forward and continue to kill those who fall behind. If any halfling cavalry tried to break out of this net, the eighth or ninth echelon Cruz knights following behind would immediately kill all their hopes.
Bodies were scattered on the battlefield. Seeing that there was no hope of escape, some halflings had to turn around and launch a desperate charge. They were all tough mountain people, but unfortunately their opponents were also the best academics of the Cruz people. Even though they had little actual combat experience, There are shortcomings, but the strength of the average gold downstream is enough to make up for any gap.
Almost all the Cruz knights had made gains, and the second to tenth echelons quickly fell into a melee, but only Freya was still moving forward. She focused on the team that was far away at the front. She didn't know that it was Kuvu and his escort knights, but she knew very well that the other party must be an excellent commander. Freya almost from the beginning Paying attention to this team, from the time Aloz entered the battlefield until now, almost every choice made by that commander has been the most correct.
The other side didn't make a single mistake.
Kuvu was running northward along the edge of the glacier. The pony took full advantage of this terrain. Wild ponies were born on the cold and windy plateau, and often had to pass through the ice gaps between valleys. Foraging for food farther away and finding cracks in the glacier seems to have become their instinct. But on Freya's side, although the heroic war horses can float on the ice and move forward, they can't really fly after all. If the ice breaks, everyone will die, so the future Valkyrie has to be cautious.
The two sides chased and escaped, and in the blink of an eye, a mile or two passed by, and undulating ridgelines appeared on the ice field. Freya frowned, feeling a little anxious in her heart. If she went forward, she would break out of the interference area where communication magic was prohibited. However, she was anxious in her heart, and Kuwu was not having a good time either. When he looked at the guys behind him, The war horse didn't seem to need physical strength, and the mount he and his escorting knights sat on were already overwhelmed.
The outcome must be decided within a short period of time.
Such thoughts flashed through their minds almost simultaneously.
Freya gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on the reins, but Brenda beside her could no longer hold back. Although seriously speaking, he no longer has any prejudice against this commander. It is difficult to say that commanding in such a battle is outstanding, but Freya has maintained the necessary decisiveness of the commander from beginning to end, and so far she has still She has not made any mistakes, which shows that she is at least calm enough and able to analyze, which are the essential elements of a good commander. However, like Freya, Brund also realized that if they continued to pursue, their mission might fail.
"We have to find a way to push them to a dead end." He yelled intermittently against the wind.
Freya was startled for a moment, then nodded. This is actually her own idea, but the terrain of the ice field is changeable, so how to choose the right one is a difficult problem.
"Little Pelo, we should go that way!" Brende turned around and shouted to someone next to him. Freya knew that young man, a top student who graduated from Saint-Ebozon - this thin young man may not be suitable to be a soldier, but it is said that his graduation grades were high enough to make everyone who graduated with him at the same time jealous. Eyes become red.
Freya herself is an academic and knows exactly what this means.
But little Pelo shook his head: "The terrain of the snowfield is too complicated, and luck is a big factor. If you want me to tell the truth, I can only say that I can't judge. I can only gamble on luck. Look at Master Martha. Have you favored us?"
He said this in the wind and shrugged.
Everyone's heart sank, but they also knew that this was not an excuse. "Knight Nimesis," Brende turned his head to the other side. He knew that the knight beside Princess Eruin. Compared with Freya, Nimesis was the best in the first phase of the Royal Knight Academy. Graduates already famous: “What do you think?”
But Nymesis didn't change her expression. She didn't even look back. She stood upright in the wind and snow like a javelin. She just replied lightly: "Listen to the commander."
Brenda choked.
But everyone's eyes have fallen on Freya. The girl from the countryside of Butchi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously tightened her grip on the reins. She bit her lip but did not say a word of rejection.
She raised her head and glanced at the northeast... That’s it for today. I’ll go to the book review area to answer questions later. I’m so tired, just roll around and ask for monthly tickets. Tomorrow your daily update of Ten Thousand Strong Baboons will be back. )RQ
