Act 102 Eternity II
The Amber Sword, Act 120 Eternity II
"Knight Brund, have you seen the crack to the west? Lead the eighth echelon around from behind and surround the cavalry from the side." Freya suddenly turned around and looked at the area to the west. Broken Glacier said to Brund beside him. The broken glacier undulated across the entire snowfield, reflecting the sunlight after noon and sparkling under the ice. Brund looked at that direction, somewhat puzzled: "Why, it is impossible to pursue it from that direction. Up."
"Yes, Knight Brund, your mission is to force them to change direction and let the halflings flee north, preferably northeast," Freya replied.
"What's to the east?" Brund was stunned and looked in that direction subconsciously, but in his field of vision, the east and north were the same endless glaciers - the edges of the glaciers shone under the clear sky, It was like the edge of a mirror, hurting his eyes. He couldn't help but squint his eyes, a little suspicious.
"Brend, it's the wind." Little Pelo on the horse seemed to react, "The wind direction, the wind is blowing from the northwest."
No one present was stupid, and Brund immediately understood. He watched the ice dust raised by the wind slowly moving towards them on the glacier, and he couldn't help but be extremely amazed for a moment: the wind was blowing from the northwest, which meant That direction may be a mountain pass, while the north and east sides are most likely the direction of a mountain pass. These things were not learned in the tactics classes of the nobles and can only be regarded as common sense. However, not everyone can think of being able to be keenly aware of and use this to make judgments at this time.
"The guy in front might have noticed this early on. I don't think the other party's commander chose to flee in this direction because he left his fate to Martha to judge," Little Pello further analyzed, and he had some admiration He looked at Freya and said intermittently in the wind: "We have blocked his escape route. The other party will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Ms. Freya, do you want to force them to come back and fight us to the death?"
The girl was slightly startled. She didn't actually think so far, but she had a vague intuition that if she did this, the other party might look back. But as a commander, she had at least learned how to maintain her dignity and nodded lightly.
"I understand." Brender nodded excitedly. No one wanted to obey the command of a useless person. Especially for them, mere mediocrity is unbearable, but when they think about a perfect victory, these young people from Cruz can't help but get excited. Seriously. It can be regarded as their maiden battle.
On the entire glacier, Cruz's knights and Aloz formed a perfect suppression of the halflings. Anlek's Enhor cavalry had almost no room for resistance and was strangled on the ice. Blood flowed from the halflings. flowed from the corpses of the cavalry. In an instant it froze into a pool of red ice. The tenth echelon led by Luo Ji is in the final closing battle with the other seven echelons.
And on the final battlefield, this battle is coming to an end.
Kuwu saw a cavalry group flying a swallow-tailed flag separate from the pursuers behind them and enter the shadow of the broken glacier. Then he understood the opponent's commander's plan. He was actually waiting for this opportunity, and there were thirty-four knights guarding him. All of them are good young men among the Enhor people, and they are the most elite soldiers among the halfling cavalry of Archduke Anlek. As for the opponent's cavalry echelon, there were only about ten people. He didn't believe that four times the number was not enough to deal with these cavalry of unknown origin.
Seeing that the opponent's commander still dared to divide his troops, the halfling knight couldn't help but sneer on his face. In his opinion, Freya made a right choice, but in a sense it was also wrong - the opponent was too conceited. It's too big, or in other words, their crazy escape at the beginning successfully created an illusion for the other party, making the other party think that they were weak and could be bullied. Kuwu was very satisfied with the situation he had created, but he did not rush to order his subordinates to turn around. The halfling guard knights who were willing to fight alongside him and did not flee were all his most trusted subordinates. Steel on the blade, Kuvu waited, waiting for Brund's cavalry to be far enough away from Freya.
He cunningly pretended to continue running away, and re-adjusted his direction to the north as Freya wanted. It seemed that Knight Cruz was indeed fooled. He saw Brund's cavalry bypassing the broken glacier belt, and finally understood that he A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity awaited.
In fact, he knew very well that the physical strength of the halfling cavalry's pony was almost at its limit at this moment, and could at most support one more charge, but that was enough. Kuvu whistled, and the halfling cavalry accompanying him turned a corner on the ice field, all facing Freya and the first echelon of her men.
"Sure enough, it's here!" Little Pelo's voice rang out when he saw the scene in front of him. Freya couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw the halfling cavalry turning their horses. As long as the other party ran a short distance forward, they would be close to the limit of interference magic. But fortunately, it seemed that Lady Martha was still standing beside them. aside. She raised her sword high: "Get ready to fight!"
The knights let out a restless shout and raised their shields one after another. The halfling cavalry was one of Warnd's most special cavalry. They were not heavy cavalry good at attacking formations. They rode ponies and even war dogs. The cavalry is best at medium and close combat. To be precise, they are spear-throwing cavalry.
The two sides launched a desperate charge on the ice field, and the distance gradually shortened to the point where they could see each other's tense faces - human and halfling. Suddenly, a whistle came out from Kuwu's cavalry team, and they all put their hands in their hands. Throwing his short spear forward, a rain of short spears flew dozens of meters and poured into the thin queue of Cruz Knights. However, the expected scene of people falling on their backs did not appear. The shield in the hand of the human knight suddenly unfolded one after another colorful light shields. The short spear hit those light shields and suddenly broke into two pieces and saw sawdust flying.
Kuwu's heart went cold when he saw this scene. He had not made a mistake, but as the leader of an aristocratic private army, he probably never dreamed that a low-class cavalryman like his in this world would be the most powerful empire on the continent. How big a gap there is between elite knights - this kind of ignorance must sometimes be compensated for with life.
After a round of throwing spears, the Cruzes were not injured at all. However, when the two cavalry charges faced each other on the flat snowfield, there was no second chance at all. Probably having seen the end, the morale of the elite guard knights of the Enhor people plummeted, but the pride they had accumulated in the past allowed them to brace themselves and raise their weapons.
Seen from above, the Cruz knights led by Freya looked like a thin silver blade, piercing the heart of the halfling cavalry.
"They're dead!"
When Brende saw this scene, he tightened the reins and stopped. The battle had just begun, but he had already seen the result. The blond knight said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't participate in the battle in person."
"Don't worry, that guy Anlek is not dead yet. If you clean up the battlefield quickly, you might still have a chance." A knight behind him shouted excitedly. The King of Fire once said that the cavalry is an indomitable force. Passion and fanaticism seem to be their hallmarks, and just being on the battlefield in person is enough to make these young people ready to take action.
"Ha, well said!"
The knights were talking a lot, but Brund turned around. He seemed to see a flash of light on the horizon. He rubbed his eyes and almost thought he had an illusion. The sun often causes snow blindness on the ice. It is not impossible that refracted light can sometimes cause hallucinations.
But Brender felt a little uneasy in his heart. He turned back to the others and said, "Did you see anything?"
"what?"
"In that direction, didn't you see it, it seemed like a blue light..." Brende asked with some confusion.
"Blue light?"
"No."
"Is it possible that I saw it wrong, Brende?"
Brund shrugged: "Probably." But as soon as he finished speaking, someone in the team already screamed: "Oh my god, look over there!" Brund was startled for a moment, and immediately turned around alertly, But the moment he turned his head, his expression suddenly changed.
Martha, what the hell is this...
…
The silent cave is covered with ice and snow, and the eternal ice forms the blue walls. The glaciers sink downwards, forming striped textures. In the dark cave, naturally formed holes are crisscrossed, but in this natural Among the uncanny craftsmanship, there are many artificial things piled up.
If you look carefully, you will find many cargo boxes from Cruz. The eagle emblem on them indicates that these boxes were once military supplies. On the other side, there are many wooden barrels piled up. These wooden barrels come from Wallundenburg, Lantoniland and even further places. These wooden barrels and wooden boxes are filled with all kinds of food. If anyone comes Here, you will definitely think that you have mistakenly entered the underground storage room of a frost giant.
But this is a real dragon's nest.
Although here, you can’t see sparkling gold coins, jeweled ornaments, priceless works of art, gold and silver utensils, not even the dazzling gems that dragons love most, except Food, still food. Cured beef, sausages, frozen fish, yogurt, bread, fruit and jars of honey and sweets.
But this cave, which looks like a witch's candy house, is indeed the hiding place of Star, the frost baby dragon.
