"What is the commander of Madara doing?" Valerie, the knight commander of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, was indeed thinking about this as well. She raised her head, and the magical brilliance illuminated a transparent battlefield at the other end of the battlefield. The skeleton army was doing it. A strange move. This army is slowly turning, but the movement is so slow, it is delayed like a dying old man, it is almost impossible to turn the front of the cavalry back to them and attack before the arrival of the cavalry, Madara's left wing is still exposed in Egypt. Under the direct threat of the two cavalry brigades of Luin, she could even judge that even if her attack passed between them, they would not have time to turn around to surround them.
This is an excellent opportunity.
But Valerie saw that the skeleton army was dispersing, as if deliberately making a way for her. If this scene happened to a human army, then according to the description in the cavalry code, the opponent must have collapsed, and the rest is enough to drive them forward like a duck. But the female knight commander had a strong vigilance in her heart, because there was an army of undead in front of her, and the undead could not have their morale collapsed, unless something went wrong with the corpse witches behind them driving away.
Is there someone behind attacking this Madara army? This fluke thought just flashed in her mind, but what suddenly appeared in her vision immediately made her heart sink.
She saw that behind the opening gap, some tall figures suddenly appeared, not heavy corpses and crusaders, nor black knights burning a fire of soul under the armor, they were some A weird rider, like a skeleton on a horseback, covered in dark chain mail, with a spear, the horse underneath is also skinny, covered in a tattered waistcoat, such a rider. A few people appeared at first, but as the gap got bigger and bigger, their numbers gradually became terrifying.
Valerie's eyes widened in surprise and saw that a whole cavalry appeared behind the densely packed skeleton archers. It was definitely not a black knight, because there could not be so many black knights. Those skeleton riders were standing next to each other. It was almost a full mile wide and dark, like a city wall. "Slow down and turn!" Valerie felt like a spike had been pierced into her heart, and she suddenly understood what it was, the skeleton knight, and Madara had a new unit that they had never seen before.
Suddenly a sharp whistle sounded on the other side of the battlefield. Valerie took a look there, knowing that Vance had also seen those weird riders. They reacted quickly. Although they didn't understand the strength of the opponent, there was one thing. To be sure, that is that the other party is more than himself, and much more. If the speed of those skeleton riders can keep up with them, even if the combat effectiveness is extremely weak, then it is also a disaster for the White Wing Cavalry regiment.
Because although they are sharp, they are equally fragile. Once they are dragged, when tens of thousands of skeletons surround them, there will only be one end.
That is defeat, and then be transformed into the same kind of monsters.
After the Golan-Elsen Pass lost their cavalry, there was no defensive force from the Silman Valley all the way to Kurk, which means that the entire Golan-Elsen opened the Madara Cave. At the door, Valerie was covered in a cold sweat and could hardly imagine what the result would be. That is almost a replica of the Black Rose War, and it may be even worse, because the Southern Army is still in Amperel. If Goran-Elson fails, Karasu will be the only thing left in the entire southern border.
The white-winged cavalry were obviously aware of their own situation. These experienced horsemen turned one by one. The two cavalry turned extremely fast on the battlefield, but in Valerie’s view, they were slow and impatient. She saw The skeleton riders were trotting and began to accelerate, and the whole army was neatly aligned like a huge machine. At this time, the female knight commander finally realized the horror of this cavalry, and then she thought of another bad news, that is, this cavalry might have no worries about the endurance of a horse like the black knight.
Her heart suddenly became cold.
At this time, one can only hope that Walter's deputy commander will command. But what makes her very disturbed is why the commander has not given an order to retreat. Could it be that he intends to bury the entire white-winged cavalry here, just to prove how terrible this Madara army is. Valerie turned around anxiously and looked to the hills to the north, hoping to wait for the expected signal, but unfortunately, the north was silent.
At this moment, a scream suddenly passed over the entire battlefield, and everyone couldn't help but raise their heads, and a strange flying creature appeared in their field of vision.
…
The town has been plunged into a sea of flames. Looking around, there are blazing blue flames everywhere. Otherwise, the white-winged cavalry regiment or temporary defense line of the garrison that has been destroyed on the street is full of dead bodies. He was wearing a militia uniform, a white-winged cavalry uniform, or a garrison uniform like him, but the only thing in common was that he was covered in blood and had lost his breath. Ai Fan’s gaze stayed only on these corpses for a short while, and then slowly crossed these areas. Other members of a small squadron were following him. He just learned that their instructor had died on that end. Flew into the hands of the monster on the church steeple—and also knew the name of the thing: fear of spirits. But there is even worse news. It is said that Butcher’s 1st Cavalry Brigade has been completely broken up in the street fighting, Commander Portland has also been killed, and now the 1st Cavalry Brigade has survived in name only, and the rest of the people are fighting. Just like them, there is no will to fight, and the only thought left is to live.
It was as if they were full of enthusiasm to fight for Eru just a moment ago, but the ideals were beautiful, but the reality was so cruel that it was unacceptable, and they taught each of them a cold lesson almost immediately.
The only thing Ivan felt a little relieved was that Lornie's carriage had left the town before the battle began. It is said that the White Wing Cavalry was fighting outside the town, so she and the rest of the family should be able to reach Svenfano safely. But what will happen after that, even he himself doesn't know. There are so many bones in Madara, almost all the monsters in the town, and now the boy is very doubtful whether they can keep it.
The group of people walked out like beggars who had escaped along the town that had become unfamiliar, and they were stopped after not going too far. Fierce fighting was taking place on the only street leading to the town. Ivan quickly distinguished that the two fighting parties should be the bones of Madara and the militiamen in the town. It was basically a one-sided massacre, waiting for them to rush out. By the time there was no one living on the scene. The corpse witch was awakening those fresh corpses. The warriors who fought for Eru at the first moment, the next moment they were covered in blood shaking and drew their swords at them.
"It's Laura and the others, they are all dead." A guard said with a somewhat ugly expression.
Ai Fan's expression also changed. These militiamen were all townspeople who would not be able to see them, but now they became something else. He couldn't help but glance at the sneaky corpse down the street. , Gritted his teeth.
"Unlucky, there is a corpse witch!" Deputy Captain Ma Dong sipped, and pulled out his sword, "We have to find a way to get rid of it before we can move on. You guys find a way to attract the attention of those monsters. I went to kill that guy. The power of the corpse witch is on its cane. As long as I cut off its arm by surprise, then this battle should be very easy to fight."
Ai Fan glanced at him, not feeling so optimistic. "Be careful." He reminded: "Be careful here. There were at least three to four militias in the past. This is the only way to the outside of the town. They are responsible for breaking it."
"so what?"
"The instructor told us that a corpse witch can lead ten to twelve skeletons, but it can't kill so many people."
"That's not necessarily true," Ma Dong shook his head: "These militiamen are not as effective in this situation. They are not as good as us, and they are not professional soldiers."
Seeing that he couldn't hear him, Ai Fan could only shut up. He turned his head and gestured to the others, indicating that they would attack with him, so as to attract the fighting power of the corpse witch. The two sides are only 50 meters apart. He is actually not too worried about the frontal fight, because there are more of them, and the corpse witch only evoked two or three corpses in a short time. Ma Dong was right, the militia. In this case, the combat effectiveness has to be discounted, and sometimes they can even be killed by a few skeletons, because they are already scared. But the skeleton archers hidden in the burning building caused them huge trouble. Nearly half of their casualties were caused by the two skeleton archers. Fortunately, although the battle did not go smoothly, at least the corpse The witch’s men still fell into their hands one by one, and at this time Ma Dong finally seized the opportunity. He quietly walked through the shadow under the building on the other side, and approached the corpse witch without knowing it. , However, just when he drew his sword to make the final blow, the sudden change occurred.
"Ma Dong, be careful!" Ai Fan suddenly shouted. He has not been worried about Ma Dong's plan, so he always pays attention to that direction. When he saw Ma Dongzheng preparing to take a shot, a group of dark figures suddenly appeared. Falling from the sky.
This scene is so familiar, that's how their instructor died.
Ma Dong also reacted at the last moment, but the deputy captain of the garrison had no time to make any actions. There was a loud bang. A behemoth had fallen from the sky with countless tiles and fell on him, grabbing him. On his shoulders, the sharp claws pierced directly between his collarbone and shoulder armor, lifting him from the ground. Ma Dong let out a painful scream. At this time, other people could see the monster's appearance—it looked a bit like a shrunken bone dragon. Its body was composed of only bones and no skin, and a pair of eye sockets on its huge head were burning. The two groups of soul fire are like two beams of light. It has sharp teeth. The only difference from the bone dragon is that it has a clear and sharp beak at the front of its mouth. "Fear of the spirit!" someone uttered a sound. Screaming, recognizing the identity of the monster, but these words did not save Ma Dong, and he pecked his head down and bit the head of the deputy captain to pieces. He twitched, and the whole person was like a vent. The puffed ball slumped down.
Fearing pecked Ma Dong to death, immediately threw the body away, then raised his head to look at the others, and uttered a terrible scream at them. Ai Fan only felt cold for a while, and his mind seemed to be blank, but the other people around him were obviously quicker to react. A member of the security team screamed, turned and ran, but he hadn't run a few steps before. The green light hit his back, and the whole person suddenly swelled and exploded into a mist of blood.
This scene awakened everyone, and there was also a corpse witch present.
And it should not be underestimated.
Ai Fan saw the monster raising his bone cane to himself. He wanted to avoid it, but he couldn't move his body in a single step.
"Lornie!"
…
Shanali silently closed Rosa's eyes. At the last moment of her death, the female knight stared straight at the sky, empty. The corpse witch had opened a big hole in her chest, and the original look was no longer visible inside. Only a piece of blood remains. He didn't say a word, took off his uniform to cover her. They have known each other for a long time, have experienced the Black Rose War together, and even participated in several great battles. They are also a number of veterans in the cavalry regiment, so they are also serving as veterans. With the rank of noncommissioned officer, I thought it was just a small border conflict, but I didn't expect to be here to live and die.
Although he has experienced this kind of life and death a lot this year, but at this moment, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
There are some new units in the bone shelf on the opposite side, such as the fear of spirits. This kind of thing has only appeared in the battlefield of Karasu before. Why did it suddenly arrive in the army of the dark lord south of Buči. The number of corpse witches is also rare. If it hadn’t been wrong to estimate that there is a corpse witch behind the corpse witch and the fear spirit, Rosa would not die. Shanali wanted to swear at this moment. What are the damn scouts? What to do.
He looked at Rosa's face, studied it carefully for a while, and then slowly walked through this section of the street. The street was full of mutilated bodies, some well-preserved, but with an arrow or two stuck in him. But he stopped suddenly, and saw a familiar face in the pile of corpses. It was one of the young couples he had met before. "Poor." He thought to himself, but he walked over, "Yes. It's destined, at least it will make you die decently." He thought so, trying to drag the opponent's body down from the ruins.
But just as he held the opponent's hand, he was shocked-there was temperature and pulse. "This guy is not dead yet." He suddenly reacted, and hurriedly pulled the boy off, then patted his face vigorously.
When Ai Fan woke up, he first saw Shanali's bloodstained face. He remembered that he had actually seen this person, standing with a female knight at the gate of the city hall, with an arrogant expression. "I didn't expect you to die too..." he replied dazedly. "Fuck you, idiot!" Shanali slapped him, "Hurry up and get me out. If you are lucky, if you still want to see your little girlfriend, please cheer me up."
"I'm not dead?" Ai Fan woke up like a Ji Ling: "Really?" Tears couldn't stop streaming down after speaking.
Shanali watched the hopeless boy lying there in tears, and couldn't help but want to kick it, but after hesitating for a while, he sighed, and just turned his head and glanced at Rosa. "Okay, the masculine man show his spirit," he stretched out his hand and grabbed the other person: "Now there are no people living in the town. You know the way, and take us out of this ghost place."
Ai Fan gave him a startled look and nodded hastily.
…
Valerie understood that the White Wing Cavalry regiment was all over. But she still didn't understand why the deputy commander still didn't react at all until the end, unless he had already escaped, but that was almost impossible. She watched as the skeleton rider pierced the spear into her chest. The strength of her whole body seemed to be lost. She raised her head with difficulty and looked around. The skeleton knight's corpses were stacked on top of her.
But unfortunately, this is meaningless, "I'm going to become one of them." She thought to herself.
Vance is dead, Valerie is also dead, the remaining white-winged cavalry is dispersing, but countless fears are strangling their hope of escape in the sky, forming such a terrifying picture on the entire battlefield at this moment, scattered all over the mountains and plains. The light of the soul fire is advancing, and the skeleton army is driving the only remaining humans to flee, but they will eventually be overtaken, because no matter whether it is a horse or a human, it will never be possible in a competition of endurance. It is the opponent of the undead.
Ai Fan stared at this scene blankly.
He thought the catastrophe in the town was just part of the war. But now it seems that there is no war anymore, and only massacres are left. Shanali also looked gloomy. The White Wing Cavalry regiment was over. He knew this better than Ivan, but he didn't understand why the battle was like this. At least the second and third battalions should be able to escape, right? Even in the worst case, after leaving the third or second cavalry brigade broken, at least one cavalry brigade can be escaped, but now it's all over, he can almost imagine that the remaining Golan in front of the Madara Army is a map of Golan. -The Elson Passage, the southern border is all over.
But the two of them may not be able to escape from the undead men in the mountains and plains.
"We... What shall we do?" Ai Fan looked at the knight and couldn't help but whispered. The horse he sat on was still Rosa's. He was not used to riding, but he was not used to the current situation. Fortunately, he had learned horsemanship during the guard team, otherwise he could only be tied to a horse now.
"Go east." Shanali replied gloomily: "The hills to the east are our only chance. There are some bandits and robbers there. I hope they will take us in."
Bandit robber.
Ai Fan glanced in that direction subconsciously. He remembered that there was indeed such a group of people, but they were the main trouble for the militia and the cavalry, and had little to do with the garrison. "They seem to be from Tosan Kad. They are real desperadoes. Will they take us in?" He couldn't help asking. "Robber or undead, you choose one." "Robber." The boy replied without hesitation.
…
