The paper rummaged in the dark, and Seleng Qiufeng walked through the empty streets. The announcement about the attack on an unidentified bandit in the Tosangkad mining area three months ago seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, and several The wanted orders fluttered like butterflies on the notice board. The militiamen and the guards were running around the street like headless flies, with rumbling noises, sharp whistle, and screaming through the town at night. The bell above the minaret of the central temple of the town finally echoed, and the nightmare of midnight horror, a sudden sign of panic, enveloped everyone's heads. However, in a panic-stricken atmosphere, some people were still indifferent. Shanali was wearing the uniform of the White Wing Cavalry, embracing his hands against the fence outside the city hall, and looked indifferently at a pair of young men across the street not far away. Couple is separating.

"Lonnie, take this with me. I heard that Svenfano is very cold. You can use it." The teenager in the uniform of the police uniform shoved the thick fur coat onto the carriage girl. On hand. Most of the people sitting on the carriage were gloomy and silent, only the girl was pale and grabbed the teenager's hand: "Ai Fan, won't you go with us?"

The young man smiled: "Loni, I'm a member of the Security Force. I've been ordered by Her Royal Highness to swear allegiance to this kingdom and Her Majesty the King. It is my responsibility to protect this land and protect everyone. I'll be here soon to meet you. Then again— "He pulled out his sword, and the dazzling blade reflected everyone's mind." My sword skills are among the best in the guard. Those bones are nothing. Horrible, Loni, you wait, I'll do a career like the Knights of Bryson and Count Tonigger. "

The girl looked at him with her lips tightly squeezed, and another rapid whistle sounded across the street. The teenager looked back and hurriedly patted the back of the girl's hand: "The instructor is urging us. You go to Svenfano and wait I do n’t need to worry, it ’s just some scattered Madara troops. Their main force is still in Butch over the mountain. The knights of the White Wing Cavalry have already told us that this battle is not a big deal. ”

The girl then nodded in tears.

Shanali looked back a bit boringly for a while, just glimpsing that her companion was walking out of the courtyard of the city hall with her horse and his steed, and he immediately asked: "The captain convinced them Are you? "" Those who are short-sighted. "The Knightess poked her mouth and replied somewhat indifferently. Shanali knows. This is persuasion, but I am afraid that the process of persuasion is not very pleasant-it is a shallow group of guys, and only the immediate interests in sight-he agrees with this, but they are not the same, no one has ever been It is said that the heroes of the Vatican Army are all just warriors. On the contrary, their reputation in the local area is not good. He grabbed the saddle and turned over. At the same time, I swept back, so that the cape and the sabre hanging on the waist were not on the horseback side. He turned his head and saw Rosa doing the same thing.

Both were veteran cavalry, and they had experienced the fierce war a year ago. Shanali still remembers the scene when he charged towards the endless skeleton sea. In the dark, he looked away. Wherever I look, there is only a flashing sea of ​​phosphorous fire. Such a spectacular scene makes people feel cold from the bones. It is said that during that battle, many people were slowed down by being scared. After the speed was stabbed to death. But after becoming familiar with the battle with Madara. It is gradually discovered that the fighting strength of the bone shelf is just that. The thin bone shelf is far less powerful than an adult.

It was just that the army that was unaware of fear, never tired, and never retreated, still impressed him.

Shanari touched the scar on her cheek and asked, "Where to go?"

"Go and meet with our troops." Rosa grabbed the reins and clamped the horse's abdomen a little. Shanali had to slap the horse to keep up, but suddenly a scream ran over the two men's heads, shaking the roof tiles on both sides of the street.

He looked up subconsciously.

Ai Fan grabbed his sword and turned and ran to the meeting point. The sudden scream made the teenager stop and looked up in surprise. In the vast night south of the town, countless stars were slowly rising. . These starlights rose up into the sky, gathered into a ball, and then suddenly dispersed, like a flock of birds turning down. At that moment, the boy finally understood what it was--

"hidden--!"

There was a scream of screaming somewhere. The sky rocket had fallen like a raindrop, and there were some pedestrians who were fleeing north. At the moment, the arrow rained down like a stump, and the magic was tempered. The passing cold front penetrated the fragile human body, and the soul fire attached to it was burning with oil, and the victim was turned into a human-shaped struggling fire in a blink of an eye. Only a few people who responded quickly survived, and Ai Fan was one of them. The long-term training of the security team saved his life after all. He didn't even know how he reacted, but waited until he returned. , The body has fallen over the door of a pottery workshop. He lifted his head slyly, and saw that the hanging signboard not far from the workshop door had been pierced by several arrows, and was slowly engulfed by the faint blue flame.

"what happened?"

He turned his head, and it seemed like a weed suddenly appeared on the stone-covered street, the tail feathers of the densely erected arrows, the corpse, the scared and nearly collapsed residents, the burning wreckage, it seemed to instantly turn the whole town For the scene of hell, Ai Fan stared at it all in stun. At this time, a second shriek swept across the entire town, shaking the ground slightly, and in his field of vision, a winged creature he had never seen before flapping his wings and flew up. Above the minaret of the central temple of the town.

...

The white captain of the 7th Squadron Cavalry Captain Gage was so rigid. He tried to grab his command knife several times but got nothing. Less than a hundred meters away in front of him, countless bone-arms were lifting the dirt and protruding from the ground, then the skull with phosphorous burning in the eye sockets, then the collarbone, shoulder armor and the entire upper body. Countless skeletons are crawling out of the ground one by one, they shake off the clods on the black heavy steel chain mail, holding a long bow, one after another stand up, walk forward, and walk to Intended location. Then he lifted his longbow, and the arrows on the longbow burned a faint flame, as if in an instant, a complete longbowman position appeared in front of him.

Almost all the knights seemed overwhelmed by Gage, because looking to all directions, the scene in front of them was not just in front of them, everywhere on the front of the entire Silman Valley. Under the night, the phosphorous fire on the skull archer's arrow formed a continuous band of light. This strip of light runs from west to east and can't see the end at a glance.

But the point is, where did they come from? What about scouts, where did those guys die? How did these **** bone shelves bypass the line of defense? Did it come from underground?

Everyone had such heavy questions in their hearts.

But for Gage, these issues now converge into a major problem-

How to do?

When the second wave of arrow rain fell from the sky, the deputy head of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment, Walter, finally reacted. He finally realized that this was not a nuisance. Even in the Black Rose War, he had never seen so many skeleton archers. The dark lords of Madara like to divide the army into a small team and each team directs. Generally, a group of corpses is usually in charge of ten to twelve skeletons-depending on how many corpses and black knights under the Dark Lord. This battle mode is like a knight leading their servants to fight. Only in large-scale battles, often you can see hundreds of corpse witches driving tens of thousands of skulls to face you like a tsunami. That is the scene that the human army is most afraid to see, but fortunately, this way Opportunities are rare even for the black rose of Bromanto. It is very difficult to gather thousands of corpses in the first place. It often takes many lords to work together-but this is precisely the most difficult thing for Madara to happen.

So when Walt saw thousands of skeleton shooters on that long front, the first reaction was that he was being played, at least three or four dark lords were fighting side by side and cooperated endlessly. At this time, even if he was stupid, he realized that Silman's channel that seemed more difficult to attack was precisely the direction of Madara's main attack. After realizing this, he immediately thought: What should we do now? How to solve the current battle? Can it still be solved?

The only good thing in his mind was that he was commanding cavalry. Compared with the regular skeleton warrior of Madara, the cavalry still had at least one advantage of mobility and impact. Although Madara also had black knights, the number was too high. Less, it cannot play a decisive role in this battle. The deputy head calmed down quickly. Madara's raid came too suddenly. These **** bones suddenly appeared from the ground and appeared in front of them almost instantly. There was no response time at all. The cavalry of the brigade was over. Although the cavalry were not wiped out at the beginning, they were scattered to the ground, they were almost unorganized, they were not connected end to end, and they would soon lose their will to fight. Walter was very familiar with his men, so No miracles will be expected, but he still has two teams.

This is enough.

"Passing orders!" He finally made up his mind and yelled.

Orders were conveyed in chaos, and when the two remaining cavalry corps in the Silman Valley were converging to attack the left flank of the skeleton bow archer, as Walter had expected, the White Wing Cavalry Regiment A large squad has completely fallen into chaos. The first brigade knight commander, the golden middle knight Galin, was shot unlucky in the eye socket in the first wave of arrow rain and was killed on the spot. After that, the skeleton army suddenly climbed out of the ground and appeared in front of them. Among them, the first cavalry brigade was dragged into chaos, but the battle lasted for half an hour, the fourth squadron was completely destroyed, the seventh squadron captain Gage died, and the eighth squadron captain Opam was seriously injured and unconscious. The rest of the top commander fell on the head of the eighth squadron's deputy captain Portland, and this person was always unconvinced. He simply led the army back into Owl Town, so the army of Madara lost all obstructions.

The remaining two cavalry brigades were immediately exposed to attack vectors--

Walt was so annoyed when he saw such a scene on the high ground that he had dragged Opam out and chopped it many times, but unfortunately his anger was of no avail. It is too late to retrieve the order at this moment, and we can only hope that Madara's response is not so fast, and he cannot turn on the battlefield in such a short time. Or his own subordinates are better, able to withstand one or two waves of attacks, as long as they enter the position of the skeleton archer, then the next step is easy to handle. They are cavalry. The opponent was nothing but infantry.

If this is the Black Rose War, maybe the White Wing Cavalry Regiment has collapsed, but fortunately it has been a year since the war, and this year is left for everyone who has experienced that terrible war to lick the wound . Those terrible undead are now reduced to ugly bones in the hearts of veterans, and are no longer synonymous with death. In addition to being rigid and fearless, they are not even as good as ordinary human soldiers. They have no fear from their roots. The black rose of Bromanta was just a slightly special opponent.

Walter thought of it. He squeezed his lips, "Bless Martha, time has changed more than Madara." He thought silently.

This is indeed the case.

Balls of lighting magic exploded on the position, shining a clear light on the last distance between the hundreds of marching cavalry fronts and the army of Madara skulls. Among the cavalry troops marching slowly, the magician One after another, they flew from behind the knight, left the horse, and floated in midair. Although their spells expose the White Winged Cavalry to the range of the Skeleton Archer, the Cavalry are preparing for the final accelerated sprint. It is almost impossible to develop such a tactic in dark conditions. Although there are legends that some cavalry may be able to do so, the commanders of the White Wing Cavalry Regiment boast their ability.

Cavalry Captain Vance of the Second Cavalry Brigade is feeling that one of the good guys on horseback is surpassing himself. In fact, the entire Second Cavalry Brigade is accelerating, less than a hundred meters apart. It is the first Cavalry Brigade. . The cavalry commanded by Valerie was a little bit ahead of them. Their mission was to kill a passage in the sea of ​​skeletons so that they could kill the witches who drove the skeletons behind him. He suddenly felt light— -This is a symptom of the effect of wind spells on him and his warhorses, thanks to all kinds of strange magic. Their cavalry can charge in such rough terrain at night, and these tactics were summarized in the Black Rose war.

Until then, the kingdom's army had followed the experience gained from the first jihad, being old-fashioned and old-fashioned, in fact not suitable for wars between people.

The war is fair to both sides. The Madara in front of them may be stronger than before, but they are not static. "Look and see, **** bones!" He waved his sword and cavalry with excitement. Tactics is the greatest invention of civilization ever. When you take part in it, there are war horses, armored knights, and knights with two-handed swords. All these things go forward to form an irresistible steel torrent. Each participant seemed to be driving this extraordinary power in person, and that feeling was absolutely addictive.

For Vance, it makes no difference.

The arrow rain began to fall, and it dinged on the armor with little effect. The cavalry's war horses were not close relatives of the steeds, and the tamed monsters were closer to the unicorns' close relatives, but without them Those relatives in the forest are so powerful, but also far beyond ordinary beasts. Therefore, the impact of the arrows is reduced by the thick armor, and then transmitted to them, causing minimal impact.

The knights rushing ahead were already making strange noises.

At this distance, it is necessary to prepare for the spell, the corpse's spell. However, the magicians at the back are also ready to shoot. This is the last level. Once they break through, the front is a skeleton army without resistance. In the Black Rose War, few armies dared to attack the skeleton army like this, but the mysterious coat worn on this army has faded because of the accumulation of time after the war, especially in the past. For the veterans who participated in the first war, there are only bones in front of them, and new hatred is in front of them. They take a sigh of relief to teach each other a lesson. The lower officers were also shouting and cheering on the recruits. Everyone knew one thing. They were a cavalry, and the other party was only an infantry. Regardless of the impact failure, the infantry could not pursue the cavalry. .

The only thing to worry about is not to be dragged on.

There is also the Black Knight--

Fortunately, the Skull Army was scattered, and the commander of the opponent looked inexperienced. And Vance did not see the shadow of the black knight. The black knight and their nightmares were very conspicuous in this environment. Regardless of where they would be hidden, the entire valley was open, and the nearest hills were thousands of kilometers away. Don't worry about them suddenly appearing. Vance glanced around, finally relieved.

The only thing that puzzled him was.

The expected spell strike did not arrive.

"What is Madara's commander doing?" He was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look up to see Valerie: "They are almost missing their last chance ..."
