Chapter 736: Waiting for the charge
In the plain of Lantirio, where you can't see your fingers, the damp and cold breath lingers in this space between "heaven" and "earth" supported by huge stone pillars, and ordinary people take a breath, and they feel that their mouth and nose are full of turbid moisture mixed with a fishy smell, and the whole person's bones will be filled with a cold shiver. And now, in this empty and dark underground field, there is a hot focus, composed of shouts of killing, screams, the smell of blood, etc., as if the only light in the dark world, attracting the endless attention of hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the mountains on both sides.
And at this time, a group of drow elf riders riding the speed dragon in the crypt had slowly approached the "light", silent and awe-inspiring.
Flashes of magic suddenly appeared beside the riders, and in an instant, they disappeared. The sudden light and the appearance of strangers caused the few speedy dragons to writhe uneasily, but they were quickly soothed by their masters, and basically did not make much noise.
Lu Xi stepped out of the portal and strode towards the Drow riders. There were 1,000 drow warriors and 1,000 wurm beasts capable of tearing through the lion and tiger, but they didn't even make any loud noises, and their presence was almost overwhelming to the lowest point, and it was estimated that no one would have discovered their existence unless they were witnessed with the naked eye. Obviously, this is a group of elite troops that can make any military leader salivate, a small number of people, but as long as they are put in the right position at the right time, they can also change the tide of the battle.
In fact, all the Drow cold-blooded cavalry are such elites. It is the heart and soul of every Zall parent.
You know, the Crypt Quickosaurus is a precious species of wurm. It is also one of the several creatures that live at the top of the food chain in the dark region, and its number and strength can naturally be imagined. Successful domestication is rare. Able to use this powerful and precious creature as a mount, Drow's cold-blooded cavalry must also be a thousand-choice combat master. Martial arts, mental strength, courage, loyalty, and even a noble family are indispensable. As long as you look at the current mobilization of all the families in the entire Marassa city-state to gather no more than a few thousand cold-blooded cavalry, you can somewhat understand the preciousness and elite of this group of lizard riders.
Lu Xi asked Kyleliana for 500 rides, but the high priest gave him 1000 very boldly, and patted Lu Xi's shoulder very "boldly", and said with a smile: "I gave you one-third of my hole cards." "It made our protagonist feel a bit of alexandrite at the time.
If you want to make a lot of money, you are reluctant to invest. What is so good in this world? Lu Xi really wanted to tell this truth to the black-skinned grandmother seriously, but if he really said this, maybe the pressure would be greater than his own, and he would not give it directly, which would be very bad.
Hurricane, who stayed with the cold-blooded cavalry, shook his head helplessly when he saw Lu Xi, who was not missing arms and legs and had a smug smile on his face, but he was also relieved in his heart, revealing a relieved smile. Of course, the portal just now was opened by her own hands. As long as a spatial marker is hung next to Lu Xi, the wind can open a portal next to the other party at any time. Of course. The premise is that there are no large-scale elemental turbulence and mental disturbances around, or if the ancient space closure enchantment is as large as the Tomb of Laxis and the city of Goodeteas. In addition, the distance between the two sides should not be too far, at least not far enough to be out of the range of spatial sensing of the wind.
Of course. With Tempest's current spatial sensing ability, as long as you enter the meditative state, you don't need any large magic circles and artifact bonuses. can cover a radius of hundreds of miles; And what if there is a bonus...... Anyway, when Nanoka and Fitt had entered another subplane, Songgard was found by the wind.
Hurricane looked Lu Xi up and down again. After making sure that the other party was indeed not injured at all, he said with a smile: "It seems." It's going well. ”
"Well, it's better than I expected." Lu Xi made a gesture that everything went well: "Werewolves and minotaurs are basically completely suppressed. The Kou Tao Fish people have also left the iron bucket formation in the Red Mushroom Gorge, and it should be a surprise attack, with a total strength of about 30,000 to 40,000. After that, it's up to us. ”
"1,000 people to go to a camp of 40,000 people?" Hurricane couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sky, revealing a helpless expression, and let out a long sigh: "Although I already knew that Lu Xi was a hot-blooded fool disguised as a rational faction, but this kind of hot-blooded to the point where even Nanoka is dwarfed still makes me breathtaking!" ”
"What, what, why do you mention that natural black-red fool at such a time? Am I a thorough intellectual? Now it's 1,000 recuperated tigers stepping on 40,000 sheep that are caught off guard, and if you don't do such a good business, that's stupid. Lu Xi said seriously: "You say, that's the case, right? ”
The leader of the Drow cold-blooded cavalry, Eslena smiled brightly, "Exactly. Lord Lu Xi has already thrown Wu Xun in front of us, just waiting for everyone to pick it up. ”
"See? Hurricane, this is the real revolutionary romanticism. You, a reactionary capitalist, should really study hard. ”
Although Eslena is one of Kyleliana's maids and captain of the guard, she also regards Lu Xi and Blaster as her saviors and the object of oath loyalty, and naturally she will not violate Lu Xi's orders, and is definitely the most perfect commander of this cavalry. The black-skinned grandmother sent her over, and the support was absolutely strong.
In this case, we must give everyone a brilliant victory......
"Have you already eaten and rested?"
"According to your instructions, all of them have been rested and ready to fight." Tricht struck the emblem on the armor on his chest with his fist, and saluted a very paladin, but very unimpressive military salute. Since he was the escort and guide sent by Sharah to himself and the wind, it was only natural that he was captured by Lu Xi.
Anyway, this non-mainstream in the drow is a paladin, not only can he fight, he can carry it, but he can also milk. The so-called knights. Naturally, there is only a mount, regardless of whether it is a horse or a lizard. to the best of your ability. What's more, this Zhuoer is a good person with a very positive outlook, and he is also a gift to himself. Then just give him a military feat.
It seems that in Lu Xi's eyes, those tens of thousands of Kou Tao fish people are simply a group of people who can walk and military merit medals, and they are not a dish that needs to be dealt with seriously at all.
The guards brought over an unmanned speed dragon, and Lu Xi turned over and jumped on it. The ferocious dragon felt the breath of the drow that was familiar to the human and not to itself, and shaved its feet a little frantically, but when the rider's mental power had a direct communication with its soul, it quickly became honest. After getting the mount, Lu Xi took the spear handed over by the guards and weighed the quality of the weapon. Then I lifted it up with a very professional movement and drooped naturally.
The spears used by the Drow Elven Cold-Blooded Cavalry are not the same as the disposable spears used by most humans and Elven cavalry. The tip of the spear is long, with blades on both sides, and two rows of sharp barbs that can not only pierce through, but also be used to slash and block. The reason why this weapon is designed in this way is also to take into account the factors of reality. The speed of the speed dragon is naturally not slow, but after all, it is still not as good as those that run on the grassland all year round and are well nourished. The weight of the sturdy war horse is far inferior to the former. In this way, the impact kinetic energy that the speed dragons can exert when charging is naturally not satisfactory. On the other hand, there are few flat terrain in the dark regions such as the Lantirio Plain, which allows cavalry to launch a group charge.
And so it goes. The weapons needed by the Drow Cold-Blooded Cavalry were not disposable spears like human knights, but one that could be used to charge, slash, engage in hand-to-hand combat, and even dismount. Uh, a multi-purpose weapon for foot combat under the lizard. This is the current unique weapon that is somewhere between a sword and a gun.
It was the first time Lu Xi had used this weapon to participate in actual combat. But he won't be timid, anyway, this thing is in the category of "guns". He also wanted to take the opportunity to experiment with the effects of the Champion Knight's submachine gun technique. If it's really not easy, it's too late to draw the sword if you lose it...... Well, take a closer look at this spear is actually still of red quality, it is definitely a boutique specially created for the senior officers of the cold-blooded cavalry, and it is a pity to lose it.
"Let's go! Stay in formation! He raised his spear and gave orders in a deep voice to those around him.
The 1,000 cold-blooded cavalry quickly got up and mounted their mounts, quickly and silently approached the noisy battlefield in the distance. In terms of the concealment of the march, the claws of the swift dragon are indeed far superior to the heavy iron hooves of the war horse, not to mention, there is also a commander who is hanging.
(System: Your commander's army is well formed and resists the continuous onslaught of the superior enemy.) Whether it's defending or marching, the formation is not chaotic, unlocking the skill "From the Forest Formation", to upgrade to level 1, you need 10000 experience points, Yes or No? )
This is the system information that jumped out when Lu Xi just took 3,000 blue friends to force down and beat 5,000 fat and strong minotaurs and werewolves in a strict queue. I was busy fighting a war just now and didn't have time to study it, so now I can naturally take a good look at it.
(Skill: Jungle Platoon Level 4, Army Platoon Regroup Speed +15%, Concealment +4 for Ambush and Secret March.) )
At this time, even Lu Xi guessed that his war skills, the so-called "Storm March", "Towering Guard" and "Fire Attack", plus this Raushzi's "jungle array", clearly came from Sun Zi Siru's "Wind Forest Volcano".
The so-called "forest" refers to the formation or march of the army, the formation and soldiers must be as neat and straight as the woods, to put it bluntly, this shows that the organization and discipline of the army are directly related to combat effectiveness. Similarly, an army that is elite enough to use the Kao language of "Qi Xu Rulin", whether it is a secret march or an ambush to carry out a sneak attack, is of course more difficult to be discovered by the enemy.
Lu Xi is now looking forward to whether he will jump out of a big move called "Wind Forest Volcano" if he is full of these four skills, well, or when he reaches level 5, he will jump out of a big move called "Wind Forest Volcano", such as the attack and defense speed of the whole army will be increased by (9) times after being released. You know, when our protagonist played Monkey Ambition, this sharp skill was a must-learn.
Of course, he also wanted to see if the system gave him this grandson Siru was a castrated version of the color tiger family, or the original version of his grandson. Whether it is "moving like thunder" or "difficult to know like yin", he is looking forward to it.
It's a pity that the skill points have been used up, and the current experience points are only enough to upgrade the "Jungle Queue" to level 4.
He thought about it for a moment, and then used his remaining experience points to upgrade the "Crimson Aura" to level 3. This kind of powerful combat skill from the champion knights of the Red Knights back then is said to be the most suitable for charging into battle, as for what kind of suitable method, Lu Xi really wants to see it.
While thinking about it, Lu Xi continued to approach the battlefield with his friends. He didn't stupidly lead everyone directly into the battlefield, but slowly spared a circle, carefully kept the whole army out of the opponent's line of sight, and finally led everyone slowly to the nearby gentle slope.
The natural environment of the pit daddy in the dark region gave Lu Xi's tactics the greatest bonus. Even monsters with dark vision can't see far away. As a result, whether it was the werewolves and minotaurs who were in the melee, or the Kou Taoyu people who were rushing over, they never discovered the existence of this group of cold-blooded cavalry.
But on the other hand, Lu Xi's "God of War True Eye" allows him to easily capture the nearby enemy situation. By the time he could already catch the traces of the main force of the Kou Tao Fishmen with the naked eye, the cold-blooded cavalry had already ambushed them and took the opportunity to rest for a while.
Without his command, all the cavalry turned over on the dragon's back one after another, in an orderly manner, like a group of machines that were precise to the microsecond. The ink-coated spear could not reflect any metallic smoothness in the faint moonlight, but it was like a poisoned sword hidden in a sheath, inconspicuous, more dangerous and deadlier.
Lu Xi took out the kettle and drank the golden herb wine inside, took a deep breath, and felt that he had lost a lot of physical strength and recovered, so he opened the holographic map of the "God of War True Eye" again, and looked for the location of the enemy's general, the so-called Fishman King Xia Kui, through the enemy's dense points of light.
The Koutao Fishmen are creatures with a level of intelligence comparable to that of goblins, but they always give birth to individuals with gifted spellcasting abilities and advanced intelligence. And with these relatively powerful individuals in the ethnic group, the fish-man society in the dark region has formed a primitive civilization with a little order and social structure.
Since they are goblin-like creatures, their march is bound to be chaotic, but the fish-man king Xia Kui should be surrounded by the most elite guards, including a large number of spellcasters and intelligent fish-man "noble soldiers", and the march should be much stricter than that of ordinary fishmen.
Lu Xi knew that 1,000 horsemen against 30,000 or 40,000 people, although he had already occupied all the innate advantages, the gap in numbers was not so easy to make up. He had a way to drive the other party like a flock of sheep, but he couldn't inflict fatal damage on it, as long as a guy like King Xia Kui existed, and gave them a little time, he could always reluctantly gather the army again.
In that case, let's decapitate. Kill the fish-man leaders, including King Xia Kui, and let these amphibians who have lost all their leadership ranks feel like they have encountered natural enemies just by thinking of the drow elves. Without the nobles, the fishmen would naturally have scattered their armies, instinctively running back to their caves and pools, shivering, and even the Crypt Lords would not be able to find them one by one and catch them into battle.
What's more, the scattered fish people will spread fear and panic to the ears of all monsters, even the most fearless monsters, will hesitate. In this way, the drows of Marassa will have an innate psychological and morale advantage before the battle begins.
His gaze scanned across the hologram, then stopped in one direction. After a few seconds of silence, Lu Xi smiled.
"Have you found the location of the Fish-Man King?" Tempest asked with a smile. Although he was asking a question, his tone was close to affirmative.
"It's inevitable."
"So, just rush down?"
"No, wait a little longer, wait until that guy is in range of our maximum charge." Lu Xidao. (To be continued......)
