The sound of shouting and killing faintly came from the other side of the mountain.
The knights in heavy armor were climbing shallowly to the top of the mountain. They raised their heads and looked through the gaps in the metal mask to see the boundary between the blade-like cliff and the sky. , The white mist sprayed out of the mouth was intertwined in the cold air, and from time to time there were stones rolling down the mountain stream under the feet, making a sound of rustling.
The armors of these knights are quite different from the heavy and practical armors of the Cruz people. The knights are all wearing long white cloaks. Under the cloaks, the cross and wild rose patterns on the breastplate appear and disappear with the knight's steps.
The knights couldn't help turning around to grab their companions, winding through the steep mountains like a thin black line.
Step by step, his gaze gradually climbed upwards, until a messy gust of wind swept across the top of the mountain, blowing the cloak up, and the knight walking in the front subconsciously grabbed his cloak with his backhand.
Shocking shouts rushed toward his face.
All the sounds on the battlefield seemed to have been amplified thousands of times in an instant, the long sound of the horn, the drums banged, as if every blow was beating in the heart, and the army was rolling like a torrent with thunderous sounds.
The battlefield of the Odos Pass is fully displayed in front of everyone-on the open slope, the only remaining knight of the Cruz people is attacking the black crystal cluster army, and layers of deep purple appear in the ocean from time to time. The flash of light, wave after wave, as if the wind swept across the sea.
Looking down, the entire battlefield of the Odos Pass has been completely intertwined. The black and red torrents are separated from each other. Various flags are flying in this ocean, and they are swallowed by a wave from time to time. The colorful nobles The coalition is being defeated, and the heavy infantry of the Cruz people is like a mainstay in the center of the entire battlefield, welcoming the repeated impact of the crystal cluster army, like an unbreakable reef in the raging waves.
Cruz’s only hope is their heavy cavalry, hoping that the heavy cavalry concentrated on the right flank can completely defeat the army in front of them before the main force of the crystal cluster comes.
However, there is not much time left for them.
The knight raised his head, thick clouds hung from the horizon, and on the ground where the gloomy sky and the horizon of East Metz were connected vaguely, a black ocean was spreading to the place where he could see.
He opened the metal mask, and the moonlight was shining deep in his eyes.
The knight turned his head.
The knight behind him had already raised a banner.
The silver swallowtail flag was raised high in the gale.
A shadow flew over everyone's heads, spreading its wings, with a bony wingspan of more than 20 meters, and flew down into the valley with the black-armored knight with a spear on its back.
Skull dragons flew out from between the steep mountain peaks one after another. They flew above the knights from the left and right, and the shadows continued to slide across the top of the mountain.
"Should we believe them? Lord Rodriguez?"
The knight shook his head: "I never believed in cunning dark creatures, but now we can't control them, to execute the orders of the Pope."
"Blow the horn—"
…
Faina can’t remember how many times she has entered the enemy line. Although she is a student of the commander of the legion, she is not as good as other people at the moment-covered in blood, almost all of her own, under the armor I don't know how many wounds there are. When the exhaustion came up, the secretion of adrenaline began to decrease, the pain came like a tide, and the cold sweat began to seep out. The bitter cold wind from the mountain pass, and it was cold to the bone marrow.
Her magic spear had been lost, left on a middle-sized crystal cluster, and could not be pulled out. The spear penetrated the core of the monster and directly nailed it to the battlefield. Then she put on her saber to fight against the crystal clusters. After hacking two small crystal clusters to death, the fine-quality shimmering long sword broke with a choke.
A cluster of crystals rushed up.
She roared, and tried her best to insert the broken sword into the crystal pupil of a crystal cluster, and the crystal cluster fell backward with a sharp scream. But after losing her long sword, she immediately faced a desperate situation. The crystal clusters that came up overturned her Earth Travelling Dragon. After losing her balance, she fell heavily to the ground, and then the Earth Traveling Dragon overturned. With a cry, I felt my legs immediately lose consciousness.
Tears flowed out all of a sudden, and she couldn't stop it. She knew that her leg had been broken, but fortunately, the dragon did not completely press her down, otherwise this creature weighing nearly ten tons would be needed in an instant. Her life.
But it's almost the same.
Faina looked desperately at the crystal clusters coming up. Her legs were pressed under the corpse of the Earthwalker, and she couldn't get it out in a short time. The companions had already gone. The knight could not stop on the battlefield and stay. There is only a dead end for her.
"elder sister-"
She seemed to hear her sister Elise calling her name anxiously in the army, but how could that be possible, it was impossible for Elise to see her in the chaos army at such a distance.
What's more, even if she saw it, how could she hear Elise's voice? The heavy knight's front line was at least a few miles away from the Buga's wizard group.
But when she heard this voice, tears still couldn't stop streaming down. She straightened up desperately and looked desperately to the back of the battlefield-as if she wanted to see her sister, brother and father there.
I'm sorry, I'm going to die...
At the last moment of her life, Faina's mind first appeared in the pale and gentle face of her mother who died of illness, and then this face disappeared into the darkness, replaced by a vigorous and calm face. Faces.
The sharp minions tore her armor in an instant, Faina felt that she was flying high, everything in the world seemed to be spinning, the feeling was actually light and fluttering, as if everything had lost its weight.
Then she felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, her vision seemed to be covered by blood, and a roll of tiredness swept over her.
Then, there was darkness.
Silent, silent darkness.
"Damn it, hillbilly..."
…
Veronica's face was sinking, and she firmly grasped Elise's arm. The latter cried and called her sister's name, but soon became hoarse, and even her voice became hoarse. The strength to howl.
She watched as her sister's figure was submerged by the crystal clusters, her small body seemed to have lost all of her strength in an instant, and she knelt down weakly and fell on her knees between the icy sand.
The female corps was expressionless. As the commander of this war, she could not show the slightest vacillation, but Faina’s accident made her want a sharp sword to pierce her heart, making her lips color, They are all a little whitish.
At this moment, all she could do was to gently lift Elise up, and quietly embrace the little girl who had been crying into tears in her arms, without saying a word, waiting for the heavy cavalry to bring the battle. The final result.
Whether it is hope or despair.
Elise wailed loudly in her arms.
Time is running out.
The army of crystal clusters was encircling from Mehhothoven. A dozen or so miles away, one could feel the tremors of the ground, and the small stones were beating on the ground, as if to indicate something.
The Cruz people’s reserve light cavalry stood high on the hills, silently, while rows of knights were looking back on horseback, a black line had appeared between the undulating hills of the sky.
The nobles have an earthy face.
Many people are turning their heads. For the first time, the mound is shaken, and some people are already limp on the ground.
Veronica held Elise quietly. She did not draw her sword for the first time on the battlefield, and the knuckles of her hands were a little pale. After decades of military service, she actually felt her hands tremble, because this war was destined to bury the fate of the Cruz people.
"Prince Gilt, what did we do wrong?"
"Why should we punish us like this?"
Someone is already questioning the wind in grief.
"It's over, it's all over, the empire is over!"
Some people are desperate, but some people are full of courage. Little Pello looked at Elise, who was crying almost unconsciously, with some pity for Faina’s death. She was a good girl, but he didn’t think that death was worth sighing, because it was a kind of death. A knight deserves it.
Unlike other people, he witnessed the desperate and tragic battlefield in front of him, without much fear in his heart, and some only had boiling blood and full of fighting spirit.
What's the fear of death? The glorious battle, the horse leather shroud, is the return of the soldiers.
Thinking of this, Little Pello strode to Veronica and said loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, Teacher, order the light cavalry to attack. We have no chance, we can only make a living from death."
He said loudly: "I'm not afraid to die, but I want to fight!"
Veronica turned her head and looked at him. Little Pello is the son of Sir Lowston. He was a member of the Knights of the Folding Sword. He also fought alongside Brando and Freya during the First Battle in the Dead Frost Forest. Eluin was also removed from the Knights of Folding Swords. At this moment, Veronica reappointed him to replace the dead Viscount Losca as the commander of the light cavalry reserve, which is precisely because he values his outstanding cavalry command talent.
And, fearless courage.
"At least the Cruz people still have the courage." Veronica replied.
Her voice followed the wind from the battlefield far away.
The originally agitated light cavalry legion turned out to be a sigh, everyone on horseback looked sideways, as if they had gained courage and strength from these words.
