There was a sharp whistle resounding in the dense woods, and then a dense and heavy step passed by like a gust of wind, and the ground trembled, accompanied by the sound of metal crashing.
"Look, over there!"
"Those monster forwards are catching up!"
"Stop them, don't let them catch up with Ms. Veronica!"
The knights yelled, and the leader was Faina in uniform. She looked towards the criss-crossed hills and valleys, and at the junction of the mountains in the distance, a group of creatures covered with dark crystal-like shells appeared.
That is the most common type of monsters. The strength of the upper and middle reaches of the silver is very fast, only slightly slower than the empire's light cavalry. The key is that they often act as the forwards of the monster army. Once they are entangled, the main force of the monsters behind will continue to come and drag them all to death here.
From Simez to Mehhothoven, in the past two weeks, he has fought against these monsters countless times. Although the defeats were more and the less, the survivors finally gradually figured out the details of these enemies. Although the Cruz people can no longer take the courage to fight this terrifying army for a decisive battle, there is no problem with the team confronting each other.
Not to mention the elite knights of the Empire, the Knights of Folding Swords.
"As long as you don't get entangled by them." Faina instantly had a plan in her heart. She raised her sword, clipped the dragon's belly, and rushed towards the leading troops of the cluster of crystal clusters.
"Knights, come with me!"
The pioneers of the noble daughter ignited the pride in the hearts of the accompanying knights, and they shouted in unison: "Kill!"
Then it plummeted. A distance of one hundred meters passed in an instant, Faina and the dragon and the human were the first to rush into the formation of the crystal cluster. The rune formation on her armor first lit up, first with the white magic missiles, then the flame thorns: The white light beam blasted into the clusters of crystal clusters like flying needles. The clusters fell together, and the clusters that came up again hit the burning thorns that grew around Faina’s horse. The explosion was torn apart.
Faina took advantage of the opportunity to smash the sturdy crystal cluster, and then raised her left hand in the other direction. The magic circle on her hand was slightly lit, and a fireball flew out towards the dense monster cluster, tumbling. The flame exploded in the darkness, forming a bright golden ball, and the knights saw countless crystal clusters flying into the air.
The knights exclaimed. Faina's magical talent and swordsmanship were perfectly combined at this moment. If Brando were here, she would definitely shine, marveling at this young lady's growth in actual combat skills. The opening on the front of the crystal cluster was instantly opened, and the knights behind immediately swarmed in, continuing to expand the victory.
Such a scene is often staged during the battle of East Metz, but the advantages of the Cruz people often do not last for too long. The crystal clusters can use their quantitative advantages to supplement their quality disadvantages, even if the Knights of Folding Swords are individuals. The combat power is far superior to them in terms of mutual understanding, not to mention that the crystal clusters are not inferior in terms of high-end strength.
Faina knew that they had to run to play the sword-breaking knight's combat effectiveness. She tried her best to move forward and slashed all the monsters in front of her under the sword one by one. Fortunately, here is not the main force of the crystal cluster army, there is no sea. With the same number of monsters, the superiority in quality quickly took over the absolute situation.
Suddenly, Faina realized that they had successfully turned around—victory was in sight, and they just needed to work harder.
"Run, run!" Faina yelled, with a heavy gasp in her voice. The continuous battles after the night have made her exhausted. This is exactly the strategy of the crystal cluster army. Those monsters are fighting. Rigid and rigid, as if they have no brains, but behind them there is a clever will to command them. The many battles along the way from East Metz to here have already proved this.
But the knights who ran at the back could no longer escape. They were in fact exhausted. Faina watched the monsters pounce on the back of the dragon and drag the young knights off the saddle. , I felt sad for a while. She bit her lower lip, and for some reason, she suddenly thought of another face in her heart.
"Am I going to die here, hillbilly, that bad guy?"
The sword-folding knight finally ran away, and distanced himself from the army of crystal clusters chasing behind.
Faina was looking for a chance to turn around and enter the enemy line again. Suddenly a few bright flashes lit up in the darkness ahead. One, two, and three fire scars crossed the heads of the knights, leaving gold in their sight. The red afterimages, they turned their heads, just when they saw a group of firelight bursting in the cluster of monsters in that direction.
The ground vibrated, and the heat wave swelled.
This time Faina's order was no longer needed, and the knights turned their heads automatically and returned to the enemy line. The leader of the crystal cluster that had been hit hard was hard to resist. After three back and forth charges, there was no longer a monster standing on the ground in the valley.
The corpses of crystal clusters covered the valley. The knights stopped and mounted one after another to rest. Some people fell to the ground as soon as the saddles of the Earthwalker dragon fell to the ground, as if they had no strength to stand up.
However, some people searched for something in the corpses of the crystal clusters. Some crystal clusters have magic crystals accompanying them. For the mage, it is an important means for them to restore their spiritual power at this moment.
The night wind blows down from the ridge, blowing away the embers and gunpowder smoke on the battlefield, the tattered flag of the Knights of Broken Swords is flying with the wind, Faina also jumped off her mount, leaning on the ground and the dragon is strong. Resting on her right hind limb, she opened the kettle and saw that on the hills in the distance in the dark, several wizards in silver robes were waving to them, beckoning them to catch up.
That was the Grey-robed apprentice of the Buga. Faina's confused mind recalled what had happened before, although on the battlefield of East Metz, I don't know which Buga once supported it with strategic spells. They and the dragon, but she did not expect that the leader of the lawwalker of the secret realm, Luo An, would personally come here to meet them. That is one of the twelve wizard leaders of the Silver Alliance, a legendary character. It is said that he was in Eruin some time ago. He was injured, but it seemed that he was almost healed now.
Faina couldn't think of what it was like to hurt such a terrible existence. The first thing she thought about was whether it was related to that bad guy. But this time, the daughter of the daughter really got it right. During the adventure with Brando to the Dead Frost Forest, Roan was injured because of Star’s "Tsar Bomb", but he is strong, but only a few. The old wounds have been restored by the month.
There was also a golden dragon with Luo An. Faina recognized the mature blond man who turned into a human image One of the few dragons.
The Buga didn’t know how to convince Veronica and the prince’s eldest son that they chose to take the southern foothills of the Alkas Mountains, through the road of the Alkas region, and enter the Wilderness of the Four Realms. However, in this way, it is inevitable to encounter the army of crystal clusters. The consecutive encounters that came overnight were extremely hard, and the remaining morale of the Cruz people was almost exhausted.
It is for this reason that several dukes did not dare to let the private armies of the nobles go behind, lest they collapse when they are chased by the tail of the crystal cluster, and as a result, the Black Legion and the Broken Sword Knights had to stay and break the queen. .
Fortunately, there is the assistance of the Buga, otherwise the battle will have been won.
Faina took a deep breath, and the cold air soaked into her lung lobes, irritating her almost to cough out. She glanced at the distance, a figure flashed from the gray-robed Buja mage, and ran in this direction quickly. The figure carried the robe and ran to her from far to near, and then swooped and plunged into her arms. inside:
"elder sister!"
"Elise," Faina said harshly, "Why are you here?"
"Sister, I want to help you," Elise raised her hands: "Look, my sister, I am also a magician, and even Buja people praise me for having a talent for casting spells."
"Naughty, you should stay with the teacher, that's where you should go!"
I probably didn't expect Faina's reaction to be so intense, and the little girl's eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist: "Sister, I... I worry about you, and my father and brother... How can I stay behind by myself? "
Faina feels soft, how often, how could she not be like this. She recalled the encounter with that bad guy in the ring of trade winds. At that time, she didn't think she was savage and willful, only that the hateful hillbilly was so annoying.
But now that I think about it, those are such warm memories.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her sister's long blonde hair. Both brother and father are on another battlefield, and all of Mehtophan's power has been invested in this escape battle that determines the survival of the empire, and what he does is to protect those who want to protect.
"Elise, be obedient, I am not dangerous at all here, but you can't distract me, you know?"
"Really, sister?"
"Of course, I am the most proud disciple of Teacher Veronica, a genius of the empire, how could something happen here? If you don't believe me, ask them."
She cast her gaze on the folded sword knights. Although she was not a member of the folded sword knights, most of the folded sword knights were trained by the sword master of the blue sword. Comment.
Fayna could only sigh in the face of these lazy guys. In fact, she was lying. The army had just entered the outskirts of Alka. Historically, the empire once had an encounter with the wind elves and the Faenza people. During the battle, the terrain here is open, which is very convenient for the army of crystal clusters to pursue, at least after passing the Odos Pass, it can be said to be safe.
Before that, there are at least a few tough battles to be fought, and no one dare to say, who can support it to the end.
