Ten miles away from Myer Lake in southern Stryer County, hundreds of carriages were lined up in two rows, waiting there quietly. A burly knight stood at the forefront of all the carriages.
He was seen looking into the distance, waiting for the smoke rising in the distance.
Of the hundreds of carriages behind him, every five was tied to each other with long iron chains, which were set up at a height that was difficult for horses to cross.
This is the method that Milinda came up with to hinder the bloody fox's escape.
Hundreds of carriages lined up. They are connected with each other by iron chains, which can at least temporarily prevent the blood fox from escaping.
As long as these iron chains can hold the Blood Fox back for a while, the powerful power of the Magic Corps can cause them to suffer extremely heavy losses.
These carriages would buy her valuable time.
As for the Knights of the God of War, Milinda would never use them unless absolutely necessary. After all, they were the only pursuit corps in her hands. It's up to them to clear the battlefield.
In a thorn forest next to Lake Myer, Milinda was patiently waiting for Trod's return.
She wanted to know when the blood fox would arrive here.
Although Milinda also has magicians under her command, and although the beautiful daughter of Sheriff Hasiu is lying contentedly on her simple marching gun, Milinda has no intention of sending magicians to detect the whereabouts of the blood fox from the air.
She wasn't going to alert anyone now.
There are many sharp-eyed guys among the blood foxes. If they find someone spying on them, they will run away even more tightly.
Milinda, who had everything prepared and was waiting for the blood fox to fall into the trap with a net, did not intend to take the risk.
Knowing how to wait and being able to make your subordinates know how to wait is one of the abilities that a good general must have.
Milinda did an excellent job in this regard. She seemed so relaxed in front of everyone, and she was even interested in seducing the beautiful daughter of the county magistrate. This really made everyone shake their heads and sigh.
However, in this way, the atmosphere that must have been extremely tense was relaxed a lot because of Milinda's appearance.
In addition to the upcoming battle, people's topics are more about Commander Milinda's tyrannical strength and weird preferences.
And this is exactly the image Milinda strives to create in the eyes of those people.
"Is it appropriate for me to come in now?" A hoarse and deep voice came from outside the tent.
"It's not like Mr. Trode has never seen it before. Please come in," Milinda said.
The ugly and terrifying evil mage opened the door and walked in. When he saw the girl lying on the bed, he said with a terrifying smile: "Aren't you afraid that the captain of the magic mercenary group will be weak when the time comes? Can’t you command the battle?”
"Don't worry, I have many ways to make my ** woman get up and work. Your employer should be very clear about this." Milinda said with a smile.
"It's just that you have to lie in bed for at least a few days afterwards, right?"
"Of course it is necessary to rest more after the victory." Milinda replied.
"You didn't come here just to talk nonsense to me, right? When will the blood fox arrive here?" Milinda asked directly.
"You'd better use your methods quickly. The blood fox will definitely arrive in the afternoon. You need to at least be prepared now."
"Afternoon? You just told me now." Milinda said with some dissatisfaction.
"The Blood Fox originally turned around and headed towards another supply point. I finally managed to get ahead of them and destroy that supply point."
"Another supply point? Why did the Blood Fox choose that place? It can also replenish the water source. There is no reason not to choose this place. Have we been exposed?" Milinda said to herself in confusion.
"I can't answer this question for you," Trode said.
"So, how many troops does Blood Fox have now?" Milinda asked
"There are less than 3,000 people. The time Mr. Enleco and I joined forces, the results were really good." Trode said
"So where is Mr. Enleco now? Do you know?"
"He is following your Excellency's instructions and is waiting sixty miles away behind the blood fox."
"Excuse me, please run again. Please ask Mr. Enleco to appear immediately after seeing the smoke ignited and block the right rear side of the Blood Fox Thief. As for sir, I will leave the left rear side to you. Please."
Hearing this, Trode said "I understand."
After saying this, the evil mage exited the tent.
When he walked out of the tent, he heard sounds like "Oh, oh, so sour, so sour." "Little darling, get up, get up quickly." behind him.
Listening to this, Trode shook his head and sighed, then turned into a ball of smoke and disappeared into the air.
In the wilderness, Enleco was lying comfortably in the skeleton chariot. Through his rational heart, he could see everything around him. From the mental fluctuations coming from the front, Enleco could clearly feel Arrive, those blood foxes have reached the extreme of exhaustion and fear.
Regarding these, Enleco can imagine that if there is a menacing undead regiment like his own chasing behind day and night, any army will become such a mess. Not to mention, the Blood Fox had suffered such a tragic blow before that.
However, Enleco did not catch up with the band of thieves who were being chased by him and eliminate them in one fell swoop. Judging from the current situation of the blood fox, with these skeleton cavalry in his hands, as well as the flaming skeleton demons transformed into It is not impossible for the one hundred and eight undead killers to annihilate all the blood foxes. The current blood fox is no longer the sturdy and brave blood fox at the beginning. Running on the run has already completely weakened his fighting ability. consciousness.
The reason Enleco didn't do that was entirely because of Miss Milinda's intention.
Enleco really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this lady was selling in the gourd.
Although the lady claimed that in order for the people of Stryer County to have strong confidence and determination in rebuilding their homes, the people of Stryer County must use their own strength to defeat this group of thieves who were raiding their homes. This must be done for the sake of Stryer and Kaoqi.
But how Enleco thinks, Miss Milinda is thinking about all this for herself.
Enleco didn't care too much about this. Enleco had never considered whether the credit should go to him. He had no interest in continuing the drama of the imperial envoy in Kaoqi. He just wanted to get rid of all the troubles as soon as possible, and then return to his hometown and live his original boring but quite relaxed life.
After sorting out his thoughts, Enleco slowly stood up from the chariot. He could already feel the strong magic fluctuations coming from the distance.
That should be the magic mercenary group, which is gathering and storing magic power, preparing to launch explosive magic. This was his invention a month ago, and he didn't expect that it could be officially used now.
Enleco concentrated all his mental power on that place in the distance, and he could clearly feel the abnormal concentration and fluctuation of magic energy. He could even recognize the person who was presiding over the magic circle from the slight differences in these fluctuations.
In the distance, in each magic circle, the fire and wind magic energy was slowly and orderly concentrated in the center of the magic circle under the combination of several magic mercenaries. And they are arranged into specific magic combinations in a certain order to form powerful explosive bombs. The magician who presides over each magic circle carefully adjusts the generation of explosive bombs and the set of twelve spells in the center of the magic circle as the launching device.
This is the core of the explosive magic circle. It cannot be sloppy at all. A sudden misordering of the spells may cause the magic energy stored in the magic circle to detonate in advance, which would have disastrous consequences.
Therefore, those who preside over these magic circles are formal magicians.
Enleco carefully identified the energy fluctuations of each magic circle. From the fluctuations, Enleco felt that too much fire energy was condensed in it. On the contrary, the wind elements were extremely thin. What happened? Enleco was a little confused. The power of the explosive bomb was definitely indescribable, but how to launch it? It's amazing that such a small amount of wind energy can push the explosive bomb about ten meters at most, but the power of an explosive bomb covers a range far beyond the radius of ten meters. Configuring the magic circle in this way is simply an act of suicide.
Enleco couldn't figure out whether those magic students simply didn't understand the knowledge he imparted, but it was impossible. I remembered that when they left, they were already able to launch explosive bombs skillfully, so it wouldn't be all bad. They must have regressed together, but judging from their proficiency in gathering magic elements and the quality of magic explosive bombs, they should have improved a lot than before.
Then maybe it's because you care too much about the power of the explosive bombs, so you ignore the reserve and configuration of the launch energy, but this is impossible. One or two people can make sense, but if everyone does this, it would be a bit weird.
Just when Enleco was confused about this, he suddenly felt a dark and gloomy magic wave under the ground quickly flying towards here. He was very familiar with this kind of magic wave. The evil mage What does Trode have to tell himself this time? Judging from the direction he came from, Miss Milinda must have asked him to convey something to her.
Just as Enleco thought.
A thick smoke emerged from the ground, and then the evil mage Trode appeared in front of Enleco.
Trode looked around for a long time, and he admired the posture put up by Enleco very much. This was simply an army of the undead.
It seems that this kid is more qualified to be called an evil mage, Trode murmured to himself.
"What orders does the eldest lady have?" Enleco asked
"Ah, she told us to wait until she sends the beacon signal. At that time, we will surround her from both sides. It's just a surround. There is no need to do anything else. Do you understand this?"
"I understand, I understand." Enleco nodded repeatedly and said, what else did he not understand? For this Miss Milinda, he became more and more understanding.
The fierce and competitive former Paladin lady has been waiting for such an opportunity, an opportunity to show her strength to the world. How could she allow herself to get involved
Fortunately, Enleco didn't care too much about this. Some time ago, he had already been in the limelight, but the result was that the more limelight he had, the more troubles he had. In the end, Enleco didn't want to do anything anymore. The limelight was coming, and he just wanted to stay there. It would be better if nothing happened.
Obviously, the evil mage Trode is not a guy who likes to be in the limelight.
"You seem to be more and more fond of using necromancy now," Trode said.
"Yes, necromancy magic is indeed very convenient. It doesn't cost much magic power and is very powerful," Enleco said
"I hope you're not lost in necromancy," Trodd sighed.
"Lost? What do you mean?" Enleco asked in confusion.
"Necromantic magic is indeed powerful, but have you ever thought about why I was called an evil mage instead of a necromancer? Why necromancy magic is so powerful but there are so few people who practice it? Why have I never heard of the powerful necromancer? The spiritual army’s fight against the human army.”
Enleco felt extremely strange when he heard what Trode said. Indeed, he had never heard of a large amount of necromancy magic being used on regular battlefields. He waited for Trode's further answer.
"Necromantic magic is indeed powerful, but it has a fatal weakness. As for what the weakness is, I can't tell you. Hey, after all, one day the two of us are likely to become mortal enemies when the two armies are fighting." Trode sighed after saying this. One breath.
"Precisely because necromancy magic has such a fatal weakness, what I really use to defeat the enemy is some strange side witchcraft, which I learned from traveling around the world. I don't even know the principles of many witchcraft, or even what system they belong to. I can't tell the difference, but I can use it, so that's okay. Therefore, I am busy experimenting with magic all day long, just to find out their mysteries and organize them systematically. Those witchcraft are evil in the eyes of ordinary people. It’s okay.”
"Another point, you may not know at all, that people who practice necromancy magic will become increasingly lack of vitality because they need to adapt to the mental fluctuations of necromancy magic, and eventually become a thinking zombie, just like me With this appearance, the more powerful the necromancers are, the more terrifying and ugly they are. But humans are not zombies after all, and humans cannot survive without life, so powerful necromancers are rarer than other types of mages."
"It's just that you are the only exception. I have never seen spiritual energy that feeds on resentful spirits. It's a pity that I worked so hard to become a demon ghost, and you just absorbed it. You don't seem to need to adjust your mental fluctuations. You can easily cast necromancy magic."
After hearing Trode's big words, Enleco guessed that the reason why he was so different might be because of the monster Most. It seemed that he had a chance to ask Most for advice. See what new insights you can gain from it.
But before that, there was a question that made Enleco feel extremely strange. He asked: "Mr. Trode, why did you learn necromancy?"
"Me? I had to learn necromancy magic. Back then, I was almost killed by someone. Fortunately, I was mistaken for a corpse and thrown into a burial pit. Originally, I thought I was definitely dead. No. I thought that there was a person waiting there, who saved my life. However, at that time, I was already blind, all my hands and feet were gone, and many of my organs were even mutilated. The person who saved me said that if I could survive, that would be enough. It was a miracle. But I was disabled and could only wait to die, and I was not willing to do so. Therefore, I turned to learn necromancy. You should know that necromancy can graft other people's organs onto the body. That's why I Reasons for learning necromancy.”
"Did you take revenge later?" Enleco asked
"Hi...No, that person was killed by someone else. Hi...Maybe you don't believe it, but actually, I didn't think about revenge. There is no personal grudge between me and that person."
"There is no grudge, and he wants to kill you?" Enleco couldn't imagine this.
"You should be able to imagine, because you are very similar to me now, but you didn't think about it carefully," Trode said.
Enleco still didn't quite understand what the evil mage said. He continued to ask: "Then who saved you? That person was waiting in the bone pit in advance. Did he know that you would be thrown in? Could it be that he colluded with the people who harmed you?"
"No, no, you know that person, he is my teacher Meron," Trode said.
"No," Enleco shouted, and the answer was beyond his expectation.
"My teacher can predict everything. He also gave me the booklet with elementary necromancy magic."
"Isn't that the same as Mr. Meron indirectly training you to become a necromancer? Isn't this completely inconsistent with his status as the spokesperson of the God of Wisdom?" Enleco found it difficult to understand this.
"Necromantic magic does not represent evil. Do you know what the highest achievement of necromancy is?" Trode said.
"The highest achievement?" Enleco has never considered the highest achievement of necromancy magic. Necromancy magic is completely different from ordinary magic. It should be said that necromancy magic is not in the ordinary magic system at all, and necromancy magic belongs to another system. A special and unique magic system. Therefore, there should be no ultimate forbidden spell in necromancy.
Trode obviously saw Enleco's confusion. He explained: "For thousands of years, human beings have been learning and using the four elements of magic taught by the legendary gods. As for other magics, little research has been done. This situation lasted until five hundred years ago, but due to the prophecy in the legend, the twelve magic emperors of the ancient magic empire began to conduct research on various strange magics in order to obtain eternal life. Among them, necromancy magic was able to use One of the ways for people to live forever. According to legend, the research on necromancy magic was finally successful, and the magic that can obtain immortality was indeed invented. There is even a legend that the twelve magic emperors were not eliminated, and there were indeed some among them. Has eternal life.”
"The ultimate in necromancy is eternal life," Enleco murmured to himself.
"Not only that, necromancy magic is also life magic. Sometimes, it is more useful than sacred magic. You should be aware of this," Trode said.
"I never thought of this." Enleco fell into deep thinking.
He suddenly remembered what Mados once said. All gods are the same. Whether it is the God of Wisdom or the God of Hades, they are all part of the order of this world. Maybe the same is true for magic. All magic exists. It is a part of the power in this world. There is no good or evil in this part itself. It is just the way of using this power that determines whether the consequences they cause are good or evil.
Unknowingly, Enleco had a new understanding of magic, and Trode could obviously guess what Enleco was thinking in his mind. He accompanied Enleco silently, staying in the silence. On the desert grassland.
On the vast grassland, there were only three of them standing there silently, the two most powerful magicians and a war horse, and beside them, going back and forth, busy working were a large group of people without The dead spirit of life, all this seems so strange.
On the edge of the lake at the other end of the grassland, the young magicians were also busy, but this place was full of life.
Most people are carefully covering the magic circle with grass evenly, trying not to be discovered until they have an effect. The person who supervised this work was the knight known as the monkey. No one had sharper eyes than him, and Milinda ordered that all cover-up work must be able to deceive the monkey's eyes. This is done because there is likely to be someone with the same keen eyesight in the enemy camp.
Farther away from here, the magician responsible for drawing the magic array is working hard to arrange another fifty magic arrays. This time the magic array is actually used to launch explosive bombs, unlike the more than one hundred magic arrays. This magic circle is just a trap that triggers an explosion.
That's what Miss Milinda ordered. She said that in this sniper attack on the Blood Fox, the magic corps' chance to really kill the enemy was at most the three to four rounds of explosive fire at the beginning of the battle, and its lethality was only the third. One round of launch can provide some protection, but the subsequent rounds may not have much effect. The number of enemies is far greater than our own, so how many blood fox thieves can be eliminated in the first round has become the key.
To this end, all the magic mercenaries studied for a whole day, and finally improved the magic circle that could only be used once. However, although it can only be used once, it can fire six explosive bombs stored in it at the same time. The power is quite amazing, but the accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Fortunately this kind of thing doesn't require much accuracy.
However, this improved magic circle is not very stable. It often triggers no response or breaks out unexpectedly. Only at this time did all the magicians admire from the bottom of their hearts how powerful their little imperial teacher was. This kind of improvement should be a piece of cake in his eyes. All the magicians secretly sighed at this.
Although everyone was worried that the magic circle would catch fire, fortunately, this disaster did not happen.
Under the monkey's organization, everything is hidden under the thick grass. This guy taught everyone how to make the grass paving so that the area under it is exactly the same as the surrounding grassland, and there are no flaws at all. This guy sure has his way.
As for the magic arrays arranged in the distance, all the magic arrays were covered with the same grass, and many holes were dug around these magic arrays. There were several magic mercenaries squatting in each pit, and their heads were also covered with thick straw.
Although they were treated like this as a magician, no one complained about it, because in their opinion, the female imperial envoy was really smart, and even the idle knights under her were all very good at it. not simple.
What's more, this Miss Milinda has a special charm. Her beauty attracts every man who is willing to sacrifice his life for her, and girls cannot escape from her hands. All the pretty girls among the people have slept in the bed of this female imperial envoy, and without exception, they have become slaves captured by this charming lady, and they are even more obedient than slaves. This made all the men curious and envious. How did the beauty do this? It would be great if she could learn how to use both hands. This thought kept spinning in the minds of all the men, but there was no Who has the guts to really try it? After being together for such a period of time, they had already experienced the amazing strength of this supple-looking young lady.
Milinda's tyrannical strength also gave her improvised subordinates strong self-confidence. Now in their eyes, the female imperial envoy in front of them has become the second leader who can be trusted. If you think of Enleco, the first leader, with his lazy temperament, his love of teasing students, and his overzealous enthusiasm for magic research, perhaps Miss Milinda can be more trustworthy.
This view exists even among the goddess believers. Milinda has gradually become the best candidate to replace Dad. Although everyone can see that Milinda is not as motivated as Dad. Others have the spirit of dedicating everything, but it seems that the other imperial envoy does not have this spirit. Compared with Enleco's laziness, this lady is obviously much more diligent. What's more, at least this lady doesn't have the heresy of another imperial envoy that is unacceptable to all goddess believers. Goddess believers are more accepting of Milinda's weird habits. Especially after two of the beautiful female believers were hung up by this young lady, all the goddess believers were even more surprised. Anyway, this does not conflict with their beliefs. The goddess's teachings do not prohibit same-sex love. .
Because of this, the goddess believers also work extremely hard. All the containers are filled with "holy water of life". Each warrior is assigned a pot of such holy water. This is used for first aid. A pot of holy water Although it cannot heal wounds, it can save people's lives.
It is precisely because of this pot of holy water that all the soldiers are in high spirits and have high morale. After all, this is equivalent to giving them extra lives. Nothing can make all those charging on the battlefield feel more at ease than this.
All the soldiers were waiting patiently in the supply point that had been completely emptied with high morale. The originally narrow exit has now been dug into an open slope.
The soldiers all held a seven-meter-long spear tightly in their hands, and carried three spears on their backs. They had been practicing hard for many days for today, what signal to wait for, when to rush out, what formation to attack in, how to throw the spear in their hands in the first wave, how to use the spear to deal with the Blood Fox's cavalry. How to open the two wings and seal the blood fox's attack line, under what circumstances it is necessary to protect the magic corps, and how to make way for the cavalry to quickly pursue the fleeing enemy.
All this has already been deeply imprinted in their minds, and they are now waiting for the signal to attack.
In the tent in the center, Milinda and her knights were sitting there quietly, no one made any sound. In front of them, the monkey was lying on the ground and patiently listening to the sounds from the ground.
"Here comes the blood fox, head, this is not good, they are very scattered." The monkey said suddenly.
Milinda frowned upon hearing the news.
"This way, if these guys trigger the mechanism, all their efforts will be wasted. Even if those magic circles are not triggered, when they enter the supply point, everything will be exposed."
Everyone looked at Milinda, waiting for her idea.
"What's the formation of the Blood Foxes like? How fast are they traveling?" Milinda asked.
"A group of about 300 people in front came quickly, and a group of more than 1,500 people behind them dragged on for a long time. There was also a group of 600 people on the right behind them, spread out widely. Others There are two to three hundred cavalrymen far and near, all walking in separate formations." The monkey replied.
"It seems there is no way to follow the original plan. Young Master, send a signal to Enleco and Trode to come closer according to the original plan and drive the thieves group here. Monkey, you go take charge of the convoy and ask them to come quickly and block the road. .Old Ka, you go and command those knights, remember to charge more and don’t be reluctant to fight. Your main responsibility is to guard that end of the lake, don’t let the blood fox escape from there, if the blood fox intends to eat you and chase you hard. , then you lead them here. The others follow me, monkey, you are by my side, as my eyes and ears, point out the guy who is responsible for commanding, and let me deal with it. "
"Sister-in-law, what if they each run for their lives?"
"Then there is nothing we can do. Let's kill as many as we can. But I don't think they will do that. They will split up and run for their lives. It will be difficult to cross the desert. We can only take a gamble. It is impossible to win in a war. 100% sure of victory. Let’s do our best. If there are no problems, everyone is ready to take action.”
As soon as Milinda's order was given, everyone took action.
A beacon slowly rose, which was lit by the battle mage Nagu himself. More than two hundred knights directly under the church lined up close to the lake shore. In front of them, a burly middle-aged knight was riding a horse with such majesty. He is the knight Milinda calls Lao Ka who is responsible for leading these knights to fight.
Looking at the Blood Fox Thieves group who were slowly approaching in the distance because they noticed the lit beacon fire, the knight slowly pulled out the long sword hanging tightly on the saddle. The bright sword body reflected dazzlingly under the sun. of light.
Following his movements, other knights drew their weapons one after another, the most common of which was the war hammer, which was the favorite weapon of the God of War. In addition, there were also many people who used battle axes, and few used long swords. Not everyone has the ability to use it. And on the right arms of these knights, there is a huge shield hanging. On their left shoulders also hung another shield.
Lao Ka slowly raised the long sword above his head and waved it in a circle against the wind.
According to Lao Ka's command, all the knights formed a team of six and arranged diagonally to the right in the Falling Moon Formation.
As the Blood Fox Thieves Group in the distance got closer and closer, the knights could already clearly see the face of the person sitting on the other side. A series of frightened faces appeared in front of the knights.
Although the Knights were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, facing those exhausted opponents, the Knights felt no fear at all. The appearance of the thieves group in front of them was really miserable. They were covered in mud and dust, and they looked helpless. The horses also looked weak. The team of more than 300 people was arranged loosely. Although they also held bright swords in their hands, most of them did not have shields.
Seeing the blood fox slowly approaching, Lao Ka swung his long sword forward, then turned his sword sideways and slapped the horse's butt hard. The war horse rushed forward, and the knights behind him also did the same. The horses galloped forward in a neat line.
When they approached the Blood Fox Thief, Lao Ka took the lead and shouted loudly to kill, and the knights also followed suit and shouted loudly. Suddenly, there were waves of strong murderous intent on the grassland.
Compared with their high morale, the Blood Fox thieves were much worse. Although most of the thieves also raised their swords to resist, some turned around and ran away, and those who resisted obviously had no choice but to fight. Now their minds are not thinking about killing the enemy at all. They were more worried about the looted treasures resting on their saddles.
Lao Ka led the knights like an extremely sharp knife and quickly inserted into the group of thieves and swept past. Each knight used the shield on their right arm to cover most of their body, and with the huge impact of the horses, He waved the weapon in his hand so hard.
There is no shield to protect themselves, and most of the weapons used are scimitars, so they are unable to withstand the powerful impact of the knights. The Blood Fox thieves are not familiar with this kind of head-on attack. In addition, their morale is not good. High, so in just one charge, he left more than a hundred corpses and fled in panic.
Seeing the blood fox running back for his life, Lao Ka did not pursue him. After all, his responsibility was to guard the lake shore. Miss Milinda had not ordered him to pursue it.
While resting for a while, Lao Ka counted the results of the battle. One hundred and fifteen corpses were lying on the ground. There were no casualties on his side, only two were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. A war horse was lost.
Lao Ka is quite satisfied with such results.
The thieves who fled quickly reported their defeat to leader Sibel. Like all losers, these blood fox thieves naturally exaggerated the number of opponents. So what Sibel heard from them was that there were about two thousand heavily armed heavily armored knights stationed in front.
Sibel didn't believe what his men said. If there were more than two thousand people, these guys would not fight them at all, so there were at most five hundred people.
But even if there are only 500 people, it is still a very troublesome thing. Normally, I may not be afraid, but now my brothers are hungry and tired. Let alone fighting, they don't even have the strength to escape.
Therefore, in this situation, facing five hundred enemies, it is also a tough battle that may not be winnable.
Therefore, if possible, try not to fight. Thinking of this, Sibel ordered his men to take a detour and not go to the supply point. He would skip this and go directly to the next supply point.
Before he could give the complete instructions. The men behind him were so angry that they reported to him that there was an extremely terrifying army of skeletons chasing him from left to right.
Hearing the skeleton army, many thieves were so frightened that they almost fell off their horses. During this period, skeletons have become the most frequent visitors in their sleep. When many people fall asleep, these scary things are sure to appear.
For them, nothing is more terrifying now than a handful of bones.
Therefore, upon hearing the news, many thieves ran away without waiting for Sibel's orders.
Those thieves had nightmares every day, and Sibel was not the same. So when he heard that the skeleton army was chasing after him, he panicked and led his personal guards to run forward. There is no hope of taking the long way around. We can only pray that there are not many troops at the supply point, so we can still rush through there.
There was no one to command or lead. All the thieves were running forward desperately. Only the road ahead had no enemies yet, and this was a vast prairie. The thieves were sure that even if there was an army blocking them in front, they would still have to escape if they wanted to. I'm sure I can get around it.
And on the vast grassland, there is no need to worry about encountering an ambush. It is also difficult to set up an ambush in such a place.
Just as the thieves were struggling to escape, they suddenly saw hundreds of large vehicles in the distance, lining up in a long line, slowly advancing here like a big net.
The thieves didn't take this kind of obstruction seriously, and they continued to flee forward as if flying.
Suddenly, countless to dark red firelights burst out from the ground, each firelight was wrapped in five or six bright blood-red fireballs the size of watermelons. Hundreds of fireballs were flying wildly in the air.
Just when the blood foxes were shocked by the sight before them, they had not yet reacted.
All the fireballs exploded in an instant. The fireballs that were still flying in the air immediately turned into countless flames and covered the sky after the explosion. The fireballs that fell to the ground directly exploded a pit in the earth.
The huge roar and the flames everywhere suddenly pulled the blood foxes into the terrifying hell-like scene again.
But this time, they felt even more overwhelmed. They didn't even know from which direction the enemy appeared, let alone how many there were in the opponent.
And the hundreds of carriages that were slowly approaching cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of the thieves.
Caught in a sea of fire, surrounded by thick smoke, the blood foxes did not know for a moment the extent of their losses, but the fear they had accumulated for a long time had exploded.
The thieves fled in all directions in disarray. Many people were so disoriented that they didn't know where to escape.
The battlefield was chaotic, horses collided with each other, and some thieves even drew out their scimitars and cut their companions in front of them in two.
The war horses were also frightened by the sudden roar and fire from all directions. Many horses jumped and tumbled wildly, throwing away the masters they carried on their backs.
Only a small part of the thieves who fell off their horses were lucky enough to escape from the fire, and most of them were either trampled by their companions' horses or burned alive in the raging fire.
And those thieves who were lucky enough to escape the fire had to face another terrifying scene that made them tremble.
In the air, dozens of fireballs that were exactly the same as before were dragging long plumes of smoke and drawing perfect arcs to shoot towards here.
Seeing this scene, the Blood Fox certainly knew that there were enemies in that place and could not break through.
The current thieves could no longer organize an effective attack, so although they all knew that magicians were still quite afraid of cavalry raids, none of the thieves was willing to go up and die, and all of them chose to flee.
And all of this is tantamount to providing a living target for the Magic Corps. Fireballs that continuously spewed out furious flames fell next to the blood fox thief. Each fireball turned at least three or four blood foxes into burning human-shaped torches.
And all this adds countless shadows to the hearts of the blood foxes. They fled in panic.
Most of them chose the nearest direction to escape danger. Unfortunately, they encountered soldiers who were lined up neatly from the supply point and rushed out to grab the dragon.
The seven-meter-long spears in the hands of these dragon soldiers were a nightmare in the eyes of the cavalry even in normal times, not to mention that now the blood foxes have no fighting spirit at all. If they can avoid it, they will definitely choose to avoid it.
Unfortunately, the opponent had no such plan. The infantry team of more than a thousand people in front of them was divided into six groups and stretched across a front line several hundred meters long. Although the formation seemed a little thin, it seemed that it could not resist the cavalry attack at all. But interception is extremely effective.
But the Blood Fox obviously never thought about breaking out, they were only thinking about escaping.
Just when they were confused about how to break out, the opponent's first wave of attacks had already begun.
For the cavalry, the attack of the infantry shuttle is no less damaging than that of the archers. A well-trained infantryman can throw the shuttle in his hand more than a hundred meters away, and the impact of the shuttle is enough to penetrate heavy armor.
What's more, the current blood foxes don't even have the most basic defensive equipment, and even large pieces of dry and hard mud splashed on the ground can cause harm to them.
More than a thousand deadly spears easily pinned hundreds of blood fox thieves to the ground, including their horses and men.
Seeing their comrades struggling in pain on the ground, but unable to die for a while, and wailing miserably, the frightened blood foxes were willing to flee back to the blazing fire. Maybe breaking out from other directions would be a better way.
Just as they were hesitating, the second wave of attacks came again.
Facing the deadly shuttle targets flying in the sky, the blood foxes pulled their horses and turned away. They desperately had to escape back into the fire. Those thieves who unfortunately escaped relatively slowly were pierced by shuttle marks as dense as raindrops, and hundreds of dead souls were once again added to the grassland.
Those thieves who fled from other directions also had a hard time. They first had to dodge the explosive fire attacks that would fall from the sky at any time, and at the same time they had to break through the knights blocking them in front.
In normal times, the blood foxes would not pay any attention to the light armored knights in the vassal towns of the Kaoqi Kingdom. They have their own way of dealing with it.
But now, these majestic knights on war horses are undoubtedly the biggest headache for thieves.
Fortunately, there are not many opponents. The blood foxes scattered and fled in all directions.
Milinda frowned when she saw the blood foxes running around on the grassland. It seemed that it was impossible to annihilate them all without leaving a single one. Let's kill as many as we can.
She turned her head to the knights behind her and the church knights led by Lao Ka who had just returned and ordered: "Now form a group of three, try not to get too far away, otherwise we will lose one of our own people in this situation." It’s meaningless. Remember, the targets we are dealing with are horses, not the thieves themselves. Horses are a big target, and their protection is weak, making them easy to obtain. However, without horses, it is difficult for the blood fox to escape back to the desert, and it is also difficult to escape our pursuit. .”
After saying this, she raised her voice and asked: "Do you understand?"
"Understood." Hundreds of knights replied at the same time, and the passionate and high-pitched voice spread far away.
As the shouts fell, Milinda led the knights and charged towards the thieves.
The knights carried out Milinda's orders extremely thoroughly, and their targets were all locked on the war horse.
It may not be easy to deal with people, but there will be no trouble with war horses without any defense. Milinda's order quickly achieved the effect she expected.
The thieves fell off their horses one after another. The blood foxes who did not fall unconscious on the spot picked up the treasures carried on their horses and fled. Until now, they are still unwilling to give up these heavy and cumbersome things.
The grassland was littered with injured horses neighing in pain.
Attacking a war horse was originally a very shameful act for a knight, and it was far from an upright contest. Fortunately, the knights under Milinda never paid attention to the knight's charter, and the church knights who gradually became familiar with them We are beginning to be able to accept this somewhat out-of-the-way combat idea. Fortunately, the military god's teachings are not as rigid as the goddess's teachings, so it is not difficult for everyone to accept them.
In the distance, those magic mercenaries were even more energetic. Those vehicles strung together with iron chains were finally serving their purpose.
They make it impossible for the blood foxes to pass smoothly, so it is inevitable that many thieves will gather there, and these are undoubtedly the best targets for the explosive fireballs. Almost every bombardment was fruitful.
This excited the magicians.
Fires were ignited everywhere on the grassland, and beacon smoke spread across the earth.
Trode and Enleco floated in the air, watching all this silently.
The two of them had no intention of participating in this one-sided battle. Now that the outcome was determined, there was no point in joining them.
"Your magic mercenaries are very effective," Trode praised.
"I didn't expect it to actually work," Enleco said.
"Aren't you being modest?" Trod was indeed a little surprised by this.
"Believe it or not, I originally just wanted to try to see if I could teach more ordinary people how to use magic, and at the same time, I also wanted to improve the social status of some people I care about."
Hearing these words, Trode looked at Enleco in surprise. After a long time, he sighed and said: "I can't understand you more and more. I really don't know what you are thinking about. These words , you'd better not tell other magicians, they will be jealous to death. If they know that this great magical achievement in their eyes is just something you created out of selfishness, I can't imagine it. How violent will they react? You are definitely a unique and strange character in the magical world."
Listening to Trode's words, which he didn't know whether they were praise or criticism, Enleco felt extremely funny. He didn't expect that his image in the eyes of others was like this. He said casually: "Unique, absolutely impossible to talk about, You don’t know, but I’m much more normal than my teacher.”
"No way?"
"Do you know what the Holy Water of Life was originally developed for?" Enleco said mysteriously.
"Isn't it your companion Bertina...Yes, yes, such a profound magic cannot be invented by that little girl, I can't guess..."
"My teacher, Her Royal Highness Princess Kris, is a very lazy person. She invented that magic for the convenience of washing clothes. That magic was originally used for washing clothes."
Hearing Enleco's answer, Trode was so surprised that he almost fell from the sky.
Trode considers himself to be absolutely superior to most magicians in his knowledge of magic. He studied under Meron, and studied the God of Wisdom's divine descending technique in his early years. Later, he switched to studying necromancy magic, and also collected And learn some other miscellaneous magic. Therefore, even Meron cannot compare to him in terms of his knowledge and experience.
Because of his in-depth study of sacred magic in his early years, Trode is very aware of the significance and value of the Holy Water of Life. At the same time, he had a deep understanding of the difficulty of inventing and using this kind of magic, so it was difficult for him to understand that the original intention of inventing this great magic was just to wash clothes.
Only now did Trod understand deeply how powerful the magic power of the Kingdom of Sophie is. It turns out that they have already reached the point where everything is overflowing. Behind the orthodox magic culture of Sophie for nearly a thousand years, a new generation of magic has emerged. I have met some strange magicians who do not think according to the ordinary way of thinking and have no restraint at all. The little magician in front of me is one of them. And his teacher must be even more amazing.
