Kant did not intend to let the infantry participate in the subsequent investigation.
Therefore, he told Bandak who was still waiting next to him: "You lead these infantry to light a bonfire to keep warm, and set up a temporary camp here. If there is any danger, I will send cavalry to notify you for support."
"Yes, I see."
Bandak nodded solemnly, and at the same time said solemnly to Kant: "Lord Kant, please be careful."
"Don't worry." Kant said calmly.
No nonsense, he got on the horse immediately, but before he could move forward, the mage apprentices stopped him.
The leading mage apprentice said eagerly: "My lord, we can perceive evil auras, and maybe even those demonized creatures. If possible, please lead us forward together."
"joke!"
Bandak frowned tightly, and reprimanded: "Master Kant led the cavalry forward, how can you mages keep up, if you encounter enemies, you can't even ride war horses, you can only add chaos!"
The only thing the mage apprentices can ride is the docile traveling horse.
Compared with the obedient but violent Swadian armored horse, it is absolutely uncontrollable.
Their riding skills are very poor.
This is Bandak's reason for rejecting them.
"Isn't our traveling horse just behind? We hide behind and help perceive those demonized creatures. If there are a large number of demonized creatures that want to attack, we can be the first to spot them!"
Master apprentices are still asking.
Kant frowned.
Turning his head and looking behind, the traveling horses of the seven of them were used as pack horses, carrying a lot of supplies on their backs.
These supplies are charcoal and food for the infantry to keep warm.
However, after hearing the self-recommendation of the mage apprentice, saying that he could perceive demonized creatures, Kant raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked them in a deep voice: "Is it true or false that I can perceive demonized creatures?"
"Really!" The leading mage apprentice nodded, and quickly said: "Every time they appear, they carry a strong negative energy of hell. After we are familiar with their energy fluctuations, we can vaguely perceive their general situation. Such as numbers, distances, and information on class types."
After experiencing failed magic experiments, they no longer dare to boast about things other than their own abilities.
Kant understood this.
Thinking for a moment, Wei Wei waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"
"Understood!" The mage apprentices immediately saluted in surprise, and then ran towards their traveling horses.
He untied the supplies and threw them by the wall, and rode his horse to follow behind Kant's group.
"let's go!"
Kant tapped the horse's belly lightly and led the team to the front.
Behind them are 188 Swadian heavy cavalry and 7 mage apprentices riding traveling horses, continuing to go deep into the ancient tunnel, letting the sound of horseshoes beating on the stone road, the rumbling sound spread like thunder for several miles.
The momentum is unrivaled!
The width of the ancient passage is 10 meters, although it is relatively narrow compared to the plain.
But you can still drive as fast as you want.
Even if you encounter an enemy, you are also fearless.
The narrow ancient passage extends straight without any turns or corners. It is almost the passage prepared for these Swadian heavy cavalry, and it is the best battlefield to launch a charge!
Just launch the charge.
Sharp spears and powerful horses will destroy Laku.
Even if the demonized creatures are ferocious and terrifying, they still have to face each other separately.
Want to resist the charge of the heavy cavalry group
Maybe I think too much!
They can only survive by relying on complex mountain conditions.
Although it is a huge threat to the surrounding lords, it is these demonized creatures that are really slaughtered. As long as traces of these guys are found in the lord's territory, they will definitely be dealt with in a short time. There will be special senior knights to deal with it.
Therefore, you can only see the demonized creatures that were slaughtered and used as trophies, but you can't see the destroyed territories. Maybe a small number of logging fields and quarries were destroyed, but for the lords, they can be built at any time.
Those demonized creatures are really dead when they die.
Kant led the team to advance at a high speed.
It seemed that they were aware of their aggressiveness, and they didn't even see any traces of demonized creatures.
The heavy cavalry, who were still carrying their spears at all times and secretly vigilant, did not relax their minds. Instead, they were somewhat puzzled, and they looked at the darkness ahead vigilantly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Unusual means abnormal, abnormal means dangerous.
Slow down.
Kant was also aware of this.
Behind the heavy cavalry next to him, the mage apprentice was hugging the neck of the traveling horse, panting heavily from the bumps.
Obviously, such a fierce gallop made it difficult for them who were not good at riding.
The Swadian heavy cavalry at the back watched with cold eyes and did not mean to help. For them, they couldn't even control the traveling horse, just like the students of the mage apprentices, there was an essential difference.
Similar to melee cavalry, looking down on ranged crossbowmen and archers.
But the mage apprentices didn't care.
They also disdain to have any entanglement with these stupid soldiers on horseback.
Instead, he rode his horse to the front, came to Kant's side, and reported heavily, "Lord Lord, we sense that there are groups of demonized creatures about 300 meters ahead!"
"Well done." Kant nodded, squinting at the silent darkness ahead with a calm expression.
Sure enough, he didn't expect it.
It was so quiet, almost eerie, it would not have been possible without the ambushes of demonized creatures.
This is the sixth sense of the military.
Now the reminders from the mage apprentices just proved his guess.
Pulling out the slender knight sword at his waist, Kant turned his head and said in a dignified voice: "Rest for five minutes, after five minutes, start preparing for battle, directly enter the charging posture, and crush them!"
"Yes!" Many Swadian heavy cavalry answered simply and forcefully.
But these five minutes of rest were not wasted.
With the light released by the burning torches, they were all quickly checking the armor and weapons on their bodies. They straightened their helmets and fastened the linen gowns outside the armor. Each of them was wearing a fan-shaped shield with his left hand and a 2.5-meter-long shield with his right hand. With a long spear, he looked at Kant in front of him with a stern face.
At the end of just five minutes, they were ready, waiting for the order of their lord, and they could brazenly urge the armored horses under their crotches at any time, and entered into a destructive and violent charging posture.
After more than ten years of hard training and life-and-death fights on the battlefield, this has almost become their instinct!
"go ahead!"
Holding the knight's sword tightly, Kant rode his horse forward.
Horseshoes tap lightly on the stone pavement.
The sound in the ancient passage became noisier as it slowly accelerated.
In less than 50 meters, all the Swadian heavy cavalry had already started to accelerate, and the sound of horseshoes hitting the stone slabs began to echo in the ancient passage like rolling thunder.
Even the rushing sound of the underground river was completely covered up.
At the same time, in the darkness deep in the ancient passage, the growl that appeared as if it sensed something was wrong.
Demonic creatures are in ambush.
But in a short distance of 300 meters, the Swadian heavy cavalry had already entered the posture of charging with all their strength. The roaring thunder rang out from the feet of their horses, and with a violent impact that swept everything, they instantly entered the peak charging moment. The sharp spear hangs down directly, and the sharp tip of the spear is facing a position less than half a meter from the ground.
As long as an enemy appears in this position, the sharp and strong tip of the spear will instantly pierce through the seemingly tough, but actually flesh and blood bodies of several demonized creatures under the blessing of inertia and strength!
And this is not the beginning, nor is it the only one.
Just behind the 188 Swadian heavy cavalry, the mage apprentices raised their staffs.
"Sharp Golden Blade!"
Following a few words in a low voice, golden light instantly bloomed between the staffs.
And enveloped the heavy cavalry in the front row.
Even the darkness dissipated a little, and one could vaguely see the demonized creatures lying in ambush with their eyes closed a hundred meters away. They all stood up grinning, opened their scarlet eyes, and started attacking frantically.
But that's the picture for a brief moment.
"For Swadia!"
The Swadian heavy cavalry in the front row roared.
The tip of the spear in his hand was just on the sharp tip, and it was already dyed with a faint golden light at this moment.
And they didn't seem to notice.
It's just that when charging, the two sides approached extremely quickly and staggered.
The sharp spear cut into the cold butter like a hot knife, easily pierced through the supposedly tough fur, tore the muscular muscles, and stabbed directly in the back, bringing the horror of the charge Power, continued to stab fiercely into the body of the demonized creature behind, and pierced through it again in an instant!
A series of close to 3 demonized creatures finally became too heavy to be stable, so they could only let go of the spear, pull out the sharp hand and half sword with the backhand, and slash wildly from top to bottom.
"Sharp Golden Blade!"
But in the rear, the golden light reappeared in an instant.
Another mage apprentice raised the staff in his hand, whispered a few words and used his spell slot.
Although they have not experienced actual combat, the Enfase Empire, as a military power, has provided a lot of military training for these mage apprentices, otherwise there is no way to use ordinary troops to compete with other races.
And how the mage apprentices release spells at the critical time is the most important thing in training!
The golden light shone.
On the frontmost battlefield, in the hands of nearly 20 Swadian heavy cavalrymen, a faint golden light suddenly appeared on the half-sword that was still slashing, and when it was cut down, it easily split the tough scales , Even the fragile spine bones will be cut off directly, a fatal blow!
The sound of horseshoes rumbled, and they were covered in armor to their calves. They were top-notch warhorses that had been honed in battlefield killings. These Swadian armored warhorses strode forward fearlessly, knocking away any demonized creatures that stood in front of them.
The sharp fangs and claws could not harm these war horses at all.
Although the linen cover was torn and tattered.
Occasionally, a small amount of the tight rings on the chain armor have been torn off.
But the war horses did not suffer any casualties, they still ran forward furiously, knocking down the demonized creatures in front of them, and at the same time stepped on them with their whole body weight, trampling those seriously injured demonized creatures like a pile of mud!
The torches flickered by the charge were shaking, and the light changed from dim to almost dark.
Wait for the full end.
The burning of the torch became stable.
The light illuminates the surrounding scene.
It is still the ancient passage deep in the ground, and the eternal darkness at the end, but the scarlet and green eyes of the demonized creatures are gone, only the snorting of the horses, and the rapid breathing of the riders.
In addition, behind him, the miserable howl gradually weakened.
complete victory.
