Chapter 464: The Knights' Edge
Of course, after becoming the Sunwell, this restriction has been relaxed a lot compared to before. In the past, as long as the blood elves left the Abandoned Land and moved a little away from the Sunstone, their spellcasting ability would be greatly weakened, and if they went a little further, they would lose the ability to cast magic.
Now that Yu Fei's soul has occupied the Sunstone and evolved into the Sunwell, the restrictions are not so strong. Even if the blood elf magician is thousands of miles away from the Scarlet Mountain, he will not lose the ability to cast chaos spells.
After careful consideration, Yu Fei also speculated on the reason for this change.
The original Sunstone, the mysterious power it possessed was sealed in a small piece of stone. Although the mysterious power that escaped from it gave the blood elves the ability to cast magic, this kind of restraint could not really affect much.
After the elves built it into the Sunwell, the mysterious power contained in the Sunstone no longer escaped slightly as before because of the change in the storage place.
The beam of light that spurted out from the Sunwell is actually the source of power for the blood elf magicians now. If they really find a way to hide or suppress the beam of light, the blood elf magicians' ability to cast spells will not disappear, but it will definitely be weakened to a certain extent.
Considering these, and the fact that he could not make any changes to the beam of light he shot out, Yu Fei gave up this idea. And this also made his original body, the Sunwell, in the demon world, easily become the target of public criticism.
There is no way, the huge changes in the blood elves are obvious. Although there are many more military training buildings on the Blood Mountain, only the Sunwell is unique and the most conspicuous. Who would not pay attention to the Sunwell if they coveted the possible benefits on the Blood Mountain?
The greed for the Sunwell made the four demon kings not hesitate and directly issued an order to attack. Of course, the troops of the demon nobles took the lead, and their direct troops were to collect the fruits of victory in the back.
However, to the surprise of the Demon King and the demons, the demons' front army had just begun to advance and launch an offensive, but the blood elves also launched an attack, rather than the defensive counterattack they imagined.
The two thousand bloody knights, except for the shield cavalry and the protection knights as a guarantee to protect the rear long-range troops in case of emergency, all the rest activated the charge skill, and the lances were forward to directly hit the demon army rushing forward.
From the top of the battlefield, the situation seemed to be clear at a glance-although the troops of the demon nobles were scattered and fighting on their own, and their fighting will did not seem to be very firm, but their number was dozens of times that of the bloody knights.
Although the bloody knights formed a strict front arrow formation, they seemed extremely thin in terms of number, just like an iron nail-or a big nail to penetrate a steel shield.
The demons also looked coldly at these bloody knights who rushed towards them without hesitation, and their hearts were full of mockery and anger. The mockery was naturally the bloody knights' overestimation of their own abilities; the anger was that they and others were all underestimated.
However, this full of disdain and anger turned into astonishment when the demon front army and the Blood Knights actually engaged in battle.
Collapse at the first touch. Only this word can describe the situation of the demon nobles' troops when facing the Blood Knights' long-distance charge and attack.
There was already a sense of arrogance in their hearts, and seeing that less than 2,000 Blood Knights were recklessly attacking tens of thousands of demons, even the demon soldiers in the front row did not take the charging Blood Knights seriously.
However, these demons who did not take the Blood Knights seriously were not much stronger than the Blood Knights. Most of the demon soldiers were weaker than or equal to the strength of ordinary Blood Knights.
As for those Lancers and even Blood Rage Knights, only elite demons and demon nobles could match them. The Blood Knights' front arrow formation was spearheaded by Blood Rage Knights and Lancers, so how could those ordinary demon soldiers resist?
Moreover, in order to cause more casualties to the demon army before the demons put away their underestimation of the enemy, the few Blood Rage Knights at the front even activated the Blood Rage form while charging, which increased their own attack power.
With one side going all out and the other side being arrogant and underestimating the enemy, it is not so difficult to understand that the demons are about to collapse at the first touch.
The first attack of the Blood Knight after the charge has a very high attack bonus. This attack can be fatal to those demon soldiers whose strength is equal to or even worse than that of the average Blood Knight - especially when they do not pay attention to the Blood Knight.
Even in the first round of the Blood Knights' charge, two demon earls and a demon marquis fell under the Blood Rage Knights' lances. The lancers also made contributions one after another.
There are less than two thousand Blood Knights, but the casualties caused by the first round of attack alone are more than two thousand. After the charge bonus, the attack not only killed the first demon it hit, but often penetrated the body of a demon and hit the demon behind it.
Except for some unlucky scarlet knights whose first attack hit a larger demon, so that they could not kill multiple demons with one shot, the rest of the scarlet knights had more than one demon corpse hanging on their lances.
But this kind of killing was not enough to frighten the demon nobles. What really frightened them was the death of the two demon earls and a demon marquis. Looking at the bloody knights who were rushing in the front and were full of blood, many demon nobles were afraid.
Even the few demon dukes looked solemn. In their opinion, although the bloody knights had not reached the legendary level, the attack after the bloody knights activated the bloody form and charged at a long distance was enough to threaten them.
Fortunately, the charge of the bloody knights required distance to accumulate power. After rushing into the enemy formation without room for maneuver, they lost the powerful damage at the beginning. The elite-level lancers can still rely on the long spear thrust skill to output, while the ordinary-level bloody knights can only get rid of the demon corpses on the lance and switch to general attacks.
Fortunately, the bloody battle characteristics of the bloody knights destined that this type of soldiers not only had one attack after the charge, but also had strong ability to continue fighting. Bloody battles can allow the Scarlet Knights to restore their own physical strength by causing damage to the enemy, which is equivalent to the effect of the blood-sucking aura.
What's more, it's not just the Scarlet Knights who rushed into the enemy formation.
Thousands of sword dancers also followed the Scarlet Knights and attacked the demon army. Among them, the twenty sword masters who formed a team almost entered the demon formation at the same time as the Scarlet Knights rushed into the demon army.
Well, in fact, the demon nobles' troops don't have any formation. Each demon noble is a small group, and even in the face of the blood elves' counterattack, there is no intention of uniting. There is no way, they originally had no friendship, and the mutiny and melee during the march made every demon noble guard against other demon nobles.
And this small group combat formation gave the sword masters an excellent convenience to implement the decapitation tactics. After a quick glance, the twenty sword masters first set their sights on the demon earls.
The demon nobles who responded to the four demon kings' call for conscription were all above the level of earls, totaling more than 100. After a melee on the road and the escape of some demons, the number of remaining demon nobles was just over 100.
Among them, there were more than 70 demon earls, the largest number. The rest, there were more than 20 demon marquises, less than 10 demon dukes, and Illidan, the undercover.
It can be said that the demon earls are equivalent to the grassroots commanders in the human army. Of course, in this scattered army, the demon marquises and dukes are only grassroots commanders, but their own strength is much stronger than that of the demon earls.
According to the tactics that Yu Fei had formulated at the beginning, the 20 sword masters locked onto the demon earls at the first moment they rushed into the enemy camp.
