Chapter 235. An underground fortress at the end
The battle ended so easily.
Solved with a round charge.
Compared with the Ravenston Ranger and Rhodok sniper crossbowmen, it is obvious that these heavy cavalry have a more crisp and crisp way of fighting, and they are also more direct in the battlefield situation.
And so they became the victors.
Demonic creatures are several times stronger than beasts.
But in the eyes of mankind, it is only a terrible nightmare for the conscription of peasants and armed militias.
Ordinary knights with a little training of infantry can wipe out the demonized creatures that invade the territory, which shows that the combat effectiveness of these demonized creatures is not much of a threat compared to the real combat troops.
What's more, it was Kant's heavy cavalry troops, which directly crushed the past in such a small space.
It's still a heavy cavalry unit composed entirely of knight-level strength.
These demonic creatures, poor as innocent children, could not even fight back, and were impaled through their bodies with spears, swords cut their spines, and then trampled into a pile of mud by the heavy hooves of the horses.
For Kant, the battle was effortless, almost freehand.
He is the victor in the ancient passage.
The only thing that can bring threats and trouble to Kant and his troops is perhaps the murderous demonic creatures that he once encountered on the top of the mountain, which is the enemy that Kant fears.
With extraordinary powers, even demonic creatures are quite terrifying.
It is a qualitative improvement in combat effectiveness!
As for these ordinary demonic creatures, Kant reached out expressionlessly, took out a linen in his arms and carefully wiped it clean, his knight's sword that was already stained with pitch-black blood.
There was a deep disdain in his eyes.
He didn't pay attention to it at all.
In this battle, not to mention that his most commonly used [Enemy Deterrence Momentum] was not used.
Even the [Commanding Might], which is a novelty, this horn that can increase morale, is pinned to his waist.
Kant's 2 major war wonders will only be used when encountering difficult opponents.
These demonized creatures couldn't even stop the heavy cavalry charge with the status spell [Sharp Golden Blade] attached, and Kant didn't need to do this at all, and used these two strange objects to assist in combat.
Although it was simple to use, it was not necessary for Kant.
Thinking of the spells cast by the mage's apprentices, Kant turned his head to look at them, and did not hesitate to praise himself: "Good job, I need you to keep it this way." ”
"Yes, my lord!"
The mage apprentices responded immediately, and everyone's faces were even more joyful.
Kant, who belonged to the High Lord, praised them more than the king of the Einface Empire, and it was a joy that came from the soul level.
Kant's face returned to calm, and he reminded them: "Calm your mind, it's time for us to go." ”
"Understood." The mage apprentices nodded.
However, when this battle was over, the Swadia heavy cavalry, who were originally arrogant and a little arrogant, also became a lot kinder to these mage apprentices, after all, in the battle just now, they were able to exert the destructive power of the charge at a super level, which had a lot to do with these mage apprentices casting spells.
Allowing them to charge more destructively, sharper spears that pierce through enemies more easily, and slashes with swords that give them more living armor-piercing attributes.
If you encounter an enemy instead of a demonic creature, this is the guarantee of being able to break the armor!
Spells that make weapons sharper are really popular with them.
This is one of the reasons why Kant considered taking these mage apprentices with him.
Able to sense the distance and number of enemies, and can cast spells to increase the passive ability of the class, these mage apprentices are the elite class of the Einface Empire.
Although it is still immature, it has already played an important role.
"Let's go!"
Kant tapped the horse's belly and continued to lead the team.
The rumbling iron knight continued to move on.
However, as I continued to go deeper into the ancient passage, I encountered a lot fewer demonic creatures.
Lighting a fire in the middle of the way, baking the clothes that have been cooled, boiling hot water at the same time, and baking and heating up the prepared food, can be regarded as barely making a living.
It had been nearly 10 hours since they entered the ancient passage.
Nearly half a day.
However, in Kant's journey, the end of this path was not found.
It's just aimlessly moving straight ahead.
The 20-meter-wide underground river and the samurai reliefs on the stone wall next to it are still the same, and apart from the marks of the excavation overhead, there is almost no difference from the entrance road.
Same.
Kant was dignified, and the movement of the horse slowly decreased.
Holding 1 torch in one hand.
He looked at the eternal darkness in front of him, and his face was a little depressed.
Riding a horse for 10 hours is enough time to travel nearly half the distance from the sentry oasis to the desert station, but now there is still no change in this road, which makes him a little uncertain in his heart, is he encountering some kind of trick from the era of the ancient gods, lost his way, similar to a spell like a ghost hitting a wall?
Otherwise, he had already advanced such a long distance, how could he not encounter the slightest building, even if it was a huge karst cave, or there were traces of collapse, so that he could know that he was not spinning in place!
Of the 30 torches brought, there are 20 left.
In the entire heavy cavalry force, only the torch in his hand was used as a guide, and the last one was used as the finish.
Otherwise, they will lose their light, and they will be completely lost in this darkness.
The mage apprentices followed closely behind Kant.
Seeing that his lord slowed down the pace of riding his horse, he tightly wrapped the linen mage robe on his body, and shivered a little on the horse's back, and he couldn't even take care of his numb legs, so he hurriedly asked in a trembling voice: "Big... My lord, what's wrong... We... We do not perceive the enemy ahead. ”
"That's not the reason." Seeing that they were frozen so miserably, Kant couldn't help frowning: "I'm wondering if I should go back, after all, we have gone too far along this road." ”
"Back... Get back? The mage apprentices looked at each other in a trembling manner.
They all saw the joy and surprise in each other's eyes.
Not to mention them, even the Swadia heavy cavalry behind them, there is already an extra layer of frost between the eyebrows under the helmet, and the chain armor all over their bodies is extremely cold, and they can't bear the cold underground.
They all want to go back.
But I never dared to say this idea.
Now that Kant proposed, they all nodded subconsciously, with a little helplessness on their faces, and there was a kind of helplessness from the heart about this ancient road that did not know where it led.
The environment here is harsh, colder than the night in the Naren Desert.
"In that case, let's go back."
Kant rubbed his eyebrows.
He had been deep into the ancient passage for so long, and he was not mentally prepared.
Similarly, supplies are insufficient.
It's better to go back and explore again after preparing more supplies.
But just as Kant was about to turn the horse's head, the mage apprentice led by him swallowed and spit, trembled his throat, and said with some surprise: "No... But... My lord, it's a long way ahead... We perceive what appears to be... There's a very... A very evil being..."
"Very evil." Kant frowned.
"It's... Yes. "That mage apprentice has been frozen to the point where he can't even talk too much.
But he forcibly closed his eyes, and after carefully perceiving it for a moment, he reported back to Kant: "I can be sure that very evil being... Just about a kilometre away... But... But it seems that the life is very bleak! ”
"Bleak?" Kant's brow furrowed even tighter.
It's a short distance from a kilometer away.
It doesn't take more than ten minutes to get close.
He decided in his heart, and ordered these mage apprentices and heavy cavalry in a deep voice: "All cheer up, light a bonfire, replenish your strength, and we will go over and have a look later, if we don't find the evil existence that the mage apprentice said, which has been dimmed, we will return quickly!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone responded, and reluctantly turned over and dismounted, but their movements became stiff, obviously the long galloping of horses, and the cold environment, made the blood in their legs not smooth.
As you walk, you can light a bonfire with firewood and charcoal, and the warmth will dispel the chill in your body.
Place the frosted water bladder around the campfire and bake it hot.
Everyone quickly shared the food, and also fed the horses who accompanied them with forage and hot water, and finally made full preparations, and after regaining some vitality, they got on their horses again, and with the drive of Kant, they quickly rushed towards a thousand kilometers ahead with torches, all of them intended to fight quickly, and immediately retreated without finding the situation.
However, their thoughts were obviously miscalculated, even Kant didn't expect that as the distance approached, a trace of white light would appear in front of the eye, although it was faint, but it was still with a perceptible light!
This made them, who had already adapted to the darkness, immediately aware of it suddenly.
If there is light, then there is an outside world!
They were finally about to leave the ancient passage and find a new exit.
"Wait!"
But Kant directly raised his hand and signaled everyone to stop advancing.
The violent sound of the horse's hooves suddenly disappeared.
Everyone stopped their march and looked at the little light ahead with solemn faces.
It was a 5-meter-high, 10-meter-wide exit, which could be called one with this ancient passage, but the so-called light was not real sunlight, but tiny glowing moss and mushrooms, growing in the huge karst cave at the end of the passage, densely packed, forming a faint light, similar to the light of the moon at night.
And in the faint light, a magnificent fortress was standing there, nearly a thousand meters away, Kant could still clearly see that the fortress was built in the cave and rock wall, with arrow towers and towers.
It is a fortress no less than the castle of "Drehem"!
"What's going on?"
Kant narrowed slightly.
He gradually got used to the faint vision in the distance, and his face was a little solemn: "I thought it would be surprising enough for the appearance of demons, but I didn't expect that there are even dungeons now?" ”
That's right, the fortress ahead.
It is built underground, completely relying on the natural space of the cave and the mountain...
Dungeons!
