The sound of the arrow breaking through the air was sharp and sharp.
Emerging from the faint smoke was a rush of light cavalry. But different from normal cavalry, this is a cavalry composed entirely of archers. After they approached the battlefield, they flew away quickly, moving back and forth in an arc of a month and a half, and did not approach.
"Keya people! It's Keya's shooter!"
The Count of Plitany was stunned for a moment, and then a certain fear immediately swept his heart.
Ghostly cavalry, elusive march, green-eyed Keya shooter!
Legrand's longbowmen are unparalleled in the world, and the Keya archer is the one who comes out on top among Legrand's archers.
The kingdom of Kya depends on its archers to keep the kingdom alive in the chaotic feudal conquests. However, it was the battle after the death of William III that really made the Keya shooter known all over the world. Not long after William III died of illness, the famous warrior queen followed in her husband's footsteps. Legrand suddenly lost her beloved king and queen, the princes and princes rebelled, and the lords fought endlessly.
It was once seen that after the news of the death of the warrior queen Illinois came out, a mysterious archer quietly left the Keya Mountains and went straight to the royal city. They marched in the morning mist and dark night, like ghosts.
There is speculation that they are going to ask the Legrand royal family for an explanation.
They entrusted their beloved queen to Legrand, whom William III had promised Keja to treat her well. They could not accept the news of the Queen's sudden death, suspecting that she had been assassinated. If the royal family of Legrand dared not answer for the truth of the queen's death
If they hate each other, then they will ask the Legrand royal family for an explanation.
It was a hazy morning when they arrived in the royal city of Metzl.
When the Duke of Buckingham mounted his horse in front of the mansion, an arrow flew out of the morning mist and rubbed his ear and nailed it to the gate of the Duke's mansion. Two men in grey robes stood on the roof opposite. No one knew what the two gray robes and the Duke of Buckingham were talking about, and they disappeared from the royal city as mysteriously as when they came.
When it reappears, it is on the battlefield.
The Duke of Buckingham led his troops to fight against the Blasey Expeditionary Army. The noble rebels approached the king's city. General John, who was under sixteen, hurriedly led the troops to fight, just when everyone thought that the king's army would be defeated. A cavalry arrived, all without armor, rushing and moving like ghosts, shooting arrows with astonishing speed, each arrow must take a life.
The aristocratic rebels were killed with fear, and they fled in disarray.
Wang Jun greeted the reinforcements that suddenly appeared at a critical moment. When he wanted to express his gratitude, he found that they were all dressed in gray cloaks, and their faces were hidden under the hoods.
In the face of General John's question and thanks, the archer leader took off his hood and raised the longbow in his hand coldly:
"For the Queen!"
"For the Queen!"
The gray-robed archers raised their long bows together, then turned and left as quickly as they had come, without any intention of staying to accept any reward.
They both have their signature green eyes.
They are the Kaya, the Kaya shooter.
They were likened to "shadow spirits" by their enemies, and they came from the mountains of Coya, where the two great rivers of Legrand originate. What frightens the enemy is that they move quickly and always appear in the deadliest places on the battlefield, at the most critical moments. The father of the Count of Plitani was killed by the brown feather arrow of the Keya Archer, and when he saw the gray-robed Archer galloping back and forth in the smoke, an ominous foreboding swept his heart.
An ancient fable once told a story about three generations of grandparents who died under the same fate, and now that ancient fate befell the Count of Plitany.
"Watch out! Watch out for these—"
He shouted hysterically.
The Balin column mercenaries didn't understand his fear immediately, and they even thought that the support army that arrived was ridiculous—what a cavalry without even armor could do.
However, the Count of Plitany was terrified as if he had seen some kind of demon.
"Watch out for them!"
While raising the shield in his hand, the count tried to back his horse.
His voice stopped abruptly, and the horse neighed in fright.
An arrow pierced his throat.
He leaned back from his steed and fell into the dust, with all his ludicrous ambition and greed.
The Bahrain mercenaries quickly paid the price for their contempt. The Keya shooters who arrived at the last minute caused a lot of casualties to the mercenaries on the battlefield. All the mercenaries who wanted to cross the suspension bridge were shot through their throats by arrows, and the corpses soon piled up a hill on the suspension bridge entering the city.
"It's reinforcements!"
On the city wall, the mercenaries who had sneaked in had been hacked to death by the gathered soldiers. When they saw a cavalry suddenly appear, the soldiers cheered up and shouted excitedly,
"Kill it out!"
The experienced Earl Grey gave the order immediately after the Keya shooter arrived on the battlefield.
"What the hell is going on with these damned guys?"
The leader of the mercenary outside the city gritted his teeth in hatred for these gray-robed men who suddenly came out. The army that was attacking the city was shot from behind and from the left, making it difficult to defend in a hurry.
At this time, the besieged Puton County defenders took advantage of the situation to kill themselves from the city, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed, and they became the one who was attacked by both inside and outside.
"Get out first."
The head of the trial bureau swung his sword to cut off an arrow that was shot at him, and the tiger's mouth was shaken to the point of numbness.
The gray-robed man who shot the arrow maintained the posture of drawing the bow, and pulled the bowstring contemptuously towards him across most of the battlefield.
The plan had failed, and the Bahrain mercenaries did not want to continue casualties. The horn sounded, and the troops gathered together and began to retreat.
Earl Grey did not lead his troops to pursue him. He stood in front of the city gate, watching the enemy retreat, and heaving a sigh of relief.
The horses hooves stepped, and the Keya shooters who arrived at the critical moment slowly gathered over and stood opposite the soldiers in Puton County. The corpses were piled up on the drawbridge in front of the city gate, and each corpse had an arrow precisely inserted into its throat. Soldiers in Puttonshire applauded the extraordinary reinforcements with admiration.
"By His Majesty's order, come to support."
The gray-robed shooter who had just provoked the chief of the trial bureau took off his hood. He was a young man with gray hair and green eyes.
Dyer glanced at his father, and found that his father seemed to be prepared for the appearance of the shooter.
"For Legrand's glory."
Earl Grey raised his fist and tapped his breastplate.
Keya's archers parted, and from among them came a man who looked like a scholar, who was not wearing a bow and arrow. He nodded to Earl Grey, said the same "For the glory of Legrand", and then said, "Come in, this is not the place to discuss."
Soon the soldiers were left to drag the bodies from the city gates and raise the drawbridge again.
The Korya archers followed the maesters and chiefs into the city of Proton, and Dale and Shinri found them as silent as ancient trees, each face hidden under the hood. This makes people think of the Keya Mountains in the south of Legrand. They are like the legendary elves who haunt the shadows of ancient forests. They are born to be the darlings of bows, arrows and wind.
…
"The dragon trainers will arrive in two days."
By candlelight, the Bachelor's first sentence was heart-pounding bad news.
"Really? How are you sure?" Dale couldn't help asking.
The bachelor was not angry at his faux pas, he smiled slightly: "Because I saw it."
"He's an astrologer, Dale."
Earl Grey reprimanded slightly, he was actually looking at the legendary ghost-shaped leader of the Keya Archers and the bachelor who had a very high status among them.
Some of the mysteries that shrouded Keya's shooter faded slightly. If Keya has excellent astrologers, then it makes sense that they can often appear at the most critical moments of the battlefield. It's just that astrologers have always been controlled by the Holy Court, and how did Keya's astrologers grow up.
"My teacher is Her Majesty the Queen."
Seeing his doubts, the maester reached out and pulled out a necklace of primitive craftsmanship from his collar. Holding the necklace, he looked respectful and pious.
"The Queen always protects her subjects."
Queen of Koya, the warrior queen of the year, Illinois.
This is already a somewhat unfamiliar name for young people, but for the generation of Earl Grey, it still has an extraordinary meaning today.
"The queen protects Legrand." He said, not necessarily looking relieved, obviously still remembering that the master said that the dragon trainer will end in two days, "I must admit that Keja has Legrand the best The archer, but unfortunately - even with you, we can't defeat the black dragon."
"Yes, so we need to hold on."
Koya's astrologer answered.
…
Shortly after the Koya Archers entered the castle, the rebels rectified and re-encircled the castle. This time, they learned the lesson from not long ago, instead of rushing to attack the castle, they dug trenches around the castle, blocked it, and trapped it in place.
The mercenary leader organized the siege almost gnashing his teeth, and the Keya archer almost took his life with an arrow. Although the head of the trial bureau swung his sword to block him, the arrow still took one of his eyes.
He wrapped a bandage over his head, and his only one eye remained gloomy and vicious looking out at the damn castle.
The massacre warning was issued in the early hours of the morning, and it was shot with a sharp arrow at the head of Puton Castle. The Baling column mercenaries warned the people of Puttonshire that if they did not surrender by noon, it would be the next Hered City - no, more thoroughly than Hered City.
"... Your city walls will be overthrown, your streets and buildings will be turned to ashes by dragon flames, and men, women and children will die without a place to be buried..."
This is a terrible warning.
Fleeing from elsewhere, the people who had witnessed the black dragon were desperate. Refugees escaped quietly from the castle again, but they were trapped behind the trenches. The Bahrain mercenaries did not intend to accept any surrender. They surrounded the civilians, stabbed them to death with long spears, cut off the heads of the refugees, and threw them under the castle of Puton.
This kind of tragedy happened not far from the castle, and it was a slaughter that was deliberately shown to them.
The guards could not hold on, and the Keya archer gave a return salute when the mercenaries in Balin came to throw their heads—
They precisely shot and killed the mercenaries who stepped into the range.
After that, the Balin column mercenaries were no longer near the city walls.
At noon, the sun hangs high in the sky, there are no clouds, and the sun is so dazzling that it already reveals the breath of midsummer. The refugees crowded on the streets in Puton City suddenly gave out a cry of horror, only to see a dark shadow coming from the distant sky. Long Ming sounded like a muffled thunder, with a deterrent like a declaration.
The black dragon hovered in the sky, and then landed on the open space in front of the city gate with a strong wind.
The flags rattled and were almost snapped.
The dragon trainer stood on the back of the dragon, and he politely said to Earl Grey, who had a cold face on the city wall: "Mr. Earl, you have one last chance to surrender."
"Otherwise we'll turn this place into a - fuck!"
The mercenary leader drove his horse to the side of the black dragon. He took the words of the dragon trainer. Halfway through his words, a sharp arrow shot down from the city wall.
Heilong fluttered his wings, and the wind swept away the arrows, but even the mercenary leader and his horse slapped the ground.
"You have exhausted our patience, bastards." The mercenary leader got up and drew his sword, "You will all fall to the ground today."
Chief Keya replied with another sharp arrow.
The dragon trainer sighed regretfully. He jumped off the black dragon swiftly and released the chain in his hand: "Go, Honey."
The black dragon flapped its wings slowly, and it raised its head and neighed.
Red dragon flames spit out.
"Honey!"
The dragon trainer turned his head abruptly, and Long Yan changed direction at the last moment and sprayed towards their right side. Some of the mercenaries who stood too close didn't even have time to scream, and disappeared in the dragon's fire. He almost thought that the black dragon was out of control.
The next moment, the dragon trainer realized that the black dragon was not out of control, but defending himself!
A giant spear was thrown into the air, and the spear shone with dazzling light.
It was an impossible weapon for humans, it was so heavy and huge, it was like the bone spear carried by the legendary giants, which they used to pierce the throat of the mammoth.
Long Yan failed to burn it up, it just flew out and fell into a hand with an iron glove.
The black dragon roared lowly and angrily, his wings raised high, and his hideous vertical pupils stared into the distance.
This time, the people who exclaimed were replaced by mercenaries from Balin Column.
"Has the gates of hell opened?"
They backed away subconsciously.
The ground trembled, rolling on the surface like a muffled thunder. The terrifying army of the ancient beasts appeared in the smoke and dust. It was the terrifying cavalry that could only exist in the nightmare, and the heavy cavalry of Gulendi would also appear docile like lambs in front of them. Each piece of armor weighs several thousand today, and mortal war horses can no longer support such heavy armor, and those who wear this hideous armor are pale skeletons.
Just like the muttering of the mercenaries, the gates of hell seemed to open.
The dust-covered army walked out of the shadows and came to the world with murderous intent.
On the city wall, under the city wall, everyone was shocked on the spot by the army composed of skeletons and heavy armor, and no one made a sound.
Keya's shooter stared closely at the knight at the front of this nightmare cavalry. He was small compared to the skeleton cavalry behind him, but he was the one who led the cavalry to arrive.
The Keya archers, who were able to indifferently harvest life on the battlefield, heard their heartbeats suddenly quickening, and they clenched their long bows, so nervous that they could barely breathe.
The knight jumped out, raised his hand and took off his helmet.
The dark hair came down - hell, she's a woman!
A beautiful and almost fierce woman.
The dazzling sky light fell on her armor, drawing a dazzling brilliance. She came with an army of tens of thousands of horses, and Long Yan threw it on the ground to burn, and the firelight reflected her dark green pupils.
The archers of Keya raised their long bows high, and the silent, gray-robed archers gave a deafening cheer.
"I hear—"
In their cheers, the black-haired female knight raised the arc knife and pointed it away.
"You want to slaughter my people?"
