Chapter 70. Cavalry and Knights
The silver light transformed into a bright column of light, and the tip of the eptuagint shot out, running through the entire square formation where the Aosaint Emma people gathered here.
The knights shouted wildly, their excited voices were swallowed up by the roar of magic. The Osaint Emma people who had stared at them with contempt for the past second had disappeared in front of them.
The moment the glorious halberd fell, the stimulating magic power flew up the Aosaint Emma shield guards who claimed to be tenacious and indestructible. The Aosaint Emma position, which was specially mobilized to block the cavalry and even broke up the entire support position, was declared to be destroyed with the blooming of this silver light.
The Silver Blade Knights led the cavalry team of Siliki, and came out from the entire corridor blasted out of the soldiers' phalanx by a halberd. The cavalry whipped their horses and flew past the corpses that had been blown away, and they didn't even look at them.
This halberd pierced through the entire square formation where the Aosaint Emma people gathered, blocking the array of thousands of people in front of the knights, and was wiped out by nearly half because of this attack.
And the commander-in-chief of this Osaint Emma, Bernie Rashid, from furious to panic to numbness, could only look at the cavalry that defeated his plan and left with his eyes.
He watched the scattered soldiers gathered again with expressionless expression. The adjutant leaned up with awkward face and asked him how he would make the next arrangement - the news that the frontline position was counter-breakthrough by the La Rochelles had reached Rashid's ears, and he also understood how painful the price he had paid to encircle this cavalry.
"Where is the earth dragon, where is our invincible earth dragon?"
"The Knights of the Earth Dragon... are still on standby in the rear..."
"Let the Earth Dragon attack."
"But... the La Rochelle people don't seem to be afraid of our earth dragons..."
Rashid suddenly grabbed the adjutant's collar, squirted on his face, and shouted angrily: "I said, let the earth dragon attack, have you heard clearly?"
"What does it have to do with me if the La Rochelle people are afraid? Even if the earth dragons die here, what does it have to do with it?"
"As long as you can kill more, kill more La Rochelle bastards, as long as you can kill more annoying insects!"
Slovenier still held his sword high, like a erect flag, leading the cavaliers. He lifted up his armor, and the face that was no longer as young as when he left Solconan ten years ago, wrote a more flying spirit than a young man.
He looked back and saw that in the direction they came, the crescent silver deer flags belonging to Siliki were already flying. The young commander named by the marquis accurately grasped his intentions and completed a perfect coordination with him without any communication.
The cavalry team kept running out of Xu Yuan, which slowed down. Slovenier turned his horse's head and looked at the stopped colleagues of the Silver Blade Knights. The glee on their faces had already faded away, and at this moment, only fatigue was left.
The magic power is absolutely the same frequency, and the "Sheng Kingdom" used by the power of the Knights. This was a project they have been training, but when there were still 100 people, the success rate was less than one percent. I didn't expect it to be really used in battle.
The magic load of this attack was even greater than their imagination. The knights, who had already suffered a lot of losses, could no longer hold on. At this time, some knights even sat on the horse's back and had already fallen asleep with their eyes closed.
"Alex, we'll be next..." Otiret's condition was better, but his weakness was still visible to the naked eye.
"The Silver Blade Knights no longer have the energy to participate in the next battle." Slovenier decisively: "Our goal has been achieved, Otiret, next you will lead the Silver Blade Knights to go around and repair."
"What about you?"
"Our mission has not been completed yet." Slovenil said calmly, then instigated the war horses and walked to the cavalry in Siliki in the rear. These cavalry were all looking admired on their faces at this time. They did not play any role in the previous battles. They almost watched this grand performance from the Silver Blade Knight as bystanders throughout the whole process.
“Hywood, Burton, Ocassi, Lucas, Chaplin.”
Five cavalry captains who had named him rode out of the line and bowed to him on the horse's back.
"Now, you will be the main executor of the second phase of the counterattack plan. You will be the best support for the counterattack and the most important part of the position." Slovenier looked at these cavalry with a bright look, and the breathing of the five cavalry captains could not help but be quick. Slovenier had not previously explained these attack plans to them, and Siliki's cavalry team was just blindly following Slovenier's command, but just following the actions of the Silver Blade Knight.
At this moment, the leader of the Silver Blade Knights who were in Siliki was assigned important tasks to them - they became the core of the plan!
"Looking back, as you can see, our counterattack troops have compressed the Osaint Emma people together. The Osaint Emma people will gather at the southern end of the front line and become the last obstacle to our counterattack."
"All we have to do is to rush in and dismantle their resistance." Slovenier glanced over the faces of the cavalry and asked loudly: "Is there any problem?"
"No problem, sir!" The five cavalrymen were all shocked and then replied loudly.
"Then Siliki Cavalry, now, go with me!"
Slovenier suddenly instigated his war horse, and the war horses rushed out like arrows, passing through the cavalry formations. The remaining cavalry turned their horses and followed Slovenier and rushed to the battlefield again.
They quickly saw the battle situation clearly, and La Rochelle's flag continued to advance from the north to the south, while soldiers in the position kept arching out of the position.
Under such a squeeze, the Osaint Emma people gathered more and more like gathering ants. Their commanders were obviously not competent enough and did not give the front-line team the next instructions in time, so that they inevitably gathered together.
Their formation has completely collapsed, but this collapse is only temporary. As Atsk emphasized countless pre-war analysis, Osaint Emma's military literacy will quickly reorganize after collapse and restore effective combat power.
Although the La Rochelle people have gained an absolute advantage at the moment, the Osaint Emma people who are grouping together will gradually ineffective the attack of the La Rochelle team. When these Osaint Emma people recover, they will respond to the La Rochelle people with a surging counterattack.
A rod and a rifle had already been raised. Slovenier watched his offensive and was choosing the most suitable time for the attack. However, the outermost cavalry captain Heywood rushed over, and reported:
"Sir Slovenier, I see the Earth Dragon Legion of the Osaint Emma people! They are heading to the combat area!"
"Earth Dragon?!" Slovenier was surprised - he thought that the Osaint Emma people had long put the ace earth dragon on the battlefield ahead, but he didn't expect that they would be stingy until now to use the earth dragon.
But now is also the moment when the earth dragons can exert their power - the battlefield is now extremely chaotic. While the Osaint Emma people were compressed into a group, the La Rochelle people who counterattacked were also crowded? Once the Earth Dragon Legion broke into the La Rochelle's position from the flank, the damage caused...
"Will Atsk notice the earth dragon?" Slovenier turned his gaze to the direction of the position, looked at it for a moment, and then realized that even if Atsk noticed this now and then transferred the troops targeting the earth dragon to the front line, he would definitely not be able to catch up!
Now the only one who can have an impact on the ground dragon is the only group of cavalry that is on standby on the battlefield and ready to break into the "trump card" at any time!
But rushing towards the earth dragon with cavalry? What's the difference between this and a moth to a fire? What's more, to disrupt the final resistance of the O'Saint Emma people, the breakthrough of Slovenier's team is crucial...
Slovenier was hesitating, but heard Heywood's voice come again:
"Sir Slovenier."
"Huh?" He looked at the cavalryman in his thirties in front of him. His long and slim face with a mustache looked quite characteristic of La Rochelle's northeastern race. His blue eyes were full of hesitation, but he was extremely firm.
"I, I'm willing to lead the team to lead the earth dragon away."
He stammered, as if the tone of a student who had made a mistake, but he spoke the most heroic words.
Slovenier was stunned.
He looked at the cavalry captain, who was not very outstanding in the Siliki army. Even the cavalry captain was inherited because of the previous captain's death in battle. As the deputy captain, he inherited it.
He had not received special training and was not qualified to contact the products produced by the Lurea Institute. He was just an ordinary cavalryman.
However, he spoke such fearless words.
As if he noticed Slovenier's hesitation, Heywood stammered his lips, suddenly straightened his waist, clenched his fist and hit his heart hard, and then shouted:
"Western, the Seventh Cavalry Team of the Siliki Army, the Cavalry Captain Heywood, is willing to lead the Seventh Cavalry Team to block the Earth Dragon!"
"Please give me the order!"
His high shout attracted the attention of the cavalry around him, and everyone showed surprise, but no one spoke much.
Slovenier looked at him quietly, staring straight into his eyes, and then slowly spoke:
"Knight Haywood."
"I order you to lead Siliki, the Seventh Knights, to block the Legion of Osaint Emma. May the starlight shine on you."
Heywood was stunned for a moment after hearing this title, then punched himself hard in the heart again, and shouted: "Heywood received the order!"
He didn't say anything more, turned his horse's head and ran towards his own queue, and then heard his shout: "To the Seventh Knights belong to, follow me to stop the Earth Dragon Legion!"
No cavalry hesitated, and the cavalry team of less than a hundred men immediately instigated the war horses and rushed towards the observed origin of the Earth Dragon Legion.
And Slovenier looked at the battle ahead again, and it was already the time for them to charge.
"Look at the Seventh Knights." He said calmly, watching the Seventh Knights go away with the cavalry, and then he once again drew his sword and raised it high.
The cavalry behind them understood that this was a signal of their attack.
“Siliki!”
The cavalry behind him all raised their spears, held their breath and focused their minds, and as the war horse in front of them moved forward, they mobilized the mount under their crotch. The speed became faster and faster, and finally they all started running.
And Slovenier's loud attack command sounded over everyone as the sword swung:
"charge!"
———————
The southern end of the Amasir army's defense position.
Sogel Winkler, Memphira and Sher von Shiva, who came from Atsk, had arrived at their garrison area and began to build temporary defensive positions.
The defense of the southern end itself is almost equal to that of the No. 1. They originally focused on the enemies from the east, but they did not expect that the position of the Second Legion would be first to be broken through.
The scouts had been sent out and were collecting enemy intelligence on the plains to the south. Memphira stood on the built platform, constantly watching the situation in the south with Hawkeye technique, and from time to time he had a few conversations with several other Silicki's professional level below.
"Zimerman, are the trenches and low walls built?"
"It's ready, but with the remaining magic of my mage, I can only provide a 50-meter-deep cover, and I can't provide more support."
Zimmerman said, calling out several earth element giants from the ground, "I will focus on the defense on the east side so that the archers can concentrate on the west side."
"No problem. Where is Sher? Are you already familiar with the new position?" Sogel asked again.
"The defense has been completed," replied Sher, "so...when will our enemies arrive?"
As she said, her eyebrows kept stirring, "I'm very curious. What kind of troops can break the defense line of the Second Legion in one breath - after all, it was the position we personally participated in the construction. How could it be so vulnerable? I can't accept it."
"More importantly, the number of Osaint Emma attacking the Second Legion is definitely less than that of our side... I even doubt whether the Osaint Emma summoned some giant monster and crushed the defense line of the Second Legion."
"Bao, babe, don't crow's mouth." Sogel spat a few times and was about to retort when a cold voice came from his ear:
"Don't make a noise."
"Memphira?" Sogel raised his head, saw the elves on the platform look extremely ugly, and his expression became serious: "Did you see it? What exactly is our enemy?"
The Elf Captain's face appeared a little confused, and then hesitated:
"Yes...I don't know what to say, but our enemy should be...human?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the scouts shouting in the position:
"There are giants in the team of O'Saint Emma!"
"Giant? How can a giant get Amasil?" Sogel thought they were joking, but when he looked to the south again, he was stunned-
Because on the southern plains, huge bodies were slowly walking towards them.
