Chapter 291: The Battle of the Riverbank (I)
They're coming!!
Looking at the signal flying high in the sky, Charlotte was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so fast. From the point of view of distance, the fastest force now is only just the beach of the Guò Landa River Valley, and the only thing he can think of now is that the other party must have been prepared for this, so he was able to organize an army to counterattack in such a short time, and now he only hopes that the number of the other party is not too much, otherwise, this attack will probably be stillborn.
It's just that when Charlotte got the exact information about the other party from the magic communication, the star of hope of the Shining Gold Empire even wondered if he had heard it wrong for a while.
"Forty people?"
"Yes, my lord!!"
On the other side, the hoarse roar of the cavalry squad leader reached Charlotte's ears with a rumbling sound. I don't know what's going on over there, but it's a race against time, and he doesn't have time to ask those boring questions.
"Who are they?"
"It's all girls, at least it looks like they should all be seventeen or eighteen years old, adults, these little girls are so powerful, we need support, they can spell ............!"
It seems that this is the personal guard of the lord mentioned in the information. However, the forty people still made Charlotte breathe a sigh of relief, he originally thought that the other party had already arranged the army and waited for him to crash into it. Now it seems that the other party is obviously in a hurry, with such a marching speed, it is not difficult to gather forty knights, Charlotte herself can do it. So he didn't think much about it. Instead, the communication was quickly cut off, and then he pulled the herald next to him. Yelled at him.
"Immediately send the order down and ask for the second. The third and fourth columns rushed to the exit of the river beach as fast as they could, and then proceeded according to the original plan. At the same time, tell the mages who are pretending to be gods and ghosts, just say that the target has appeared, and let them go to reinforcements immediately!! ”
"Yes, Your Excellency!!"
Hearing Charlotte's order, the herald nodded, and then hurriedly turned to leave. And it was only at this time that Charlotte was barely relieved. Then he looked at the dark valley shadows in the distance, and a curious question suddenly appeared in his mind——— how powerful can those girl knights be?
If Charlotte had asked this question in the communication, the Commando Captain would have told him very seriously, it was very, very, very powerful.
At first, when the assault team was attacked, he and Charlotte were startled, but later found that there were only forty people on the other side, and they were relieved. In his opinion. There are nearly 200 cavalry on his side, and there is no pressure to deal with forty knights. And their purpose is not to destroy the enemy in front of them, but to break through the obstacles and continue to advance. As for these forty girl knights, they naturally have a brigade behind them to deal with. In his opinion, it was as simple as that. And it's a flat river beach. Best for cavalry charges. Even if there is any ambush behind, they don't have to worry about being intercepted here. Because of this, the commando leader quickly ordered his men to start charging.
And immediately after. He saw a scene that he would almost never forget.
I saw that in the face of the galloping cavalry brigade, the faces of the girl knights on the war horses did not change. He neatly pulled out what looked like a magic staff, and then gently moved forward. The next moment. The commando leader watched as a wall of thorns hundreds of meters long and four or five meters wide suddenly grew out of thin air on the originally empty river beach, blocking their path. And those cavalrymen didn't expect that a wall would grow out of thin air in front of them, and they were caught off guard and crashed into it. For a while, people turned over on their backs and fell into a piece.
And before the people behind could react, they saw those girl knights stretch out their hands again, and this time, with their movements, dozens of dazzling fireballs pierced the sky like this, roaring and crashing into the wall of thorns, turning it into a wall of fire in the blink of an eye. Naturally, the cavalry who were stuck in the walls of thorns were roasted along with their horses. As for the cavalry behind, although they wanted to try to rush through this sea of fire, their war horses didn't seem to intend to sacrifice their lives to "know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains", no matter how their masters beat and scolded, they didn't dare to take half a step forward——— no wonder, in the face of flames that were seven or eight meters high, even people trembled in their hearts. What's more, this is not a mortal fire, but a pure fire from the Elemental Coke Realm, the flames condensed by magic can be more powerful and threatening than the flames of the mortal world, and those war horses are naturally reluctant to try it.
In this way, hundreds of well-armed cavalrymen were dragged by forty knights on the bank of the river, unable to advance half a step. He definitely didn't believe this kind of unbelievable thing before, but now that he saw with his own eyes how easily the forty girl knights blocked their way, the commando leader had to admit that there were indeed some things in this world that were so unreasonable. Now he could only hope that the mages and large troops behind him would come faster, and the other party was obviously not only a knight, but also a mage——— but also a very powerful mage. This kind of guy who pretends to be a ghost, just leave it to those guys who also pretend to be a ghost to deal with, anyway, he has no hope.
"Flowing water, turn into a sharp blade!!"
At this moment, accompanied by a loud chant, the next moment, I saw that the river on the beach but not above the surface of the foot suddenly stood upright like a wave, and then rolled and shot down on the wall of fire in front of me, only to hear a "stab" sound, accompanied by white steam, the originally burning wall of fire was suddenly extinguished. Seeing this scene, the commando leader was stunned for a moment, he turned his head, and then saw several figures flying towards him in the sky.
It's the mage group, and they've finally arrived!!
Seeing these figures, the commando leader couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although it was only a few minutes, but it seemed to him that it had been a long time. On more than one occasion, Charlotte stressed to them the importance of time, asking them to take control of most of the Pasus before they could react. But I didn't expect to be unfavorable, and I encountered such trouble just after I started. But now the trouble will finally be lifted......... Come to think of it. He didn't hesitate and raised the long sword in his hand again. Swing forward.
"Quick!! Don't hesitate to rush over now!! Hurry!! ”
Hear the commando leader's order. The remaining cavalry quickly regrouped, and then, once again, they rode their horses and began to charge forward.
But no one saw it at the moment, on the other side of the steaming white riverbank, in front of the young knights, Jenn was standing. He stared at the looming figure across the white steam, and could even hear the crisp sound of horses' hooves trampling the river and the cobblestone beach. However, there was not a trace of solemnity in front of Jenn, on the contrary. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a charming smile peculiar to the nobility.
Then, Jenn stretched out his hand and put it on his waist, his slender fingers slowly went up, holding the cold hilt of the sword——— at this moment in his waist, a total of two long swords were hanging, and above it was the blue sea light that Jenn had been using. And below is the Sword of the Shadow Moon that Jenn had managed to unseal with great difficulty. It's just that now this long sword is completely no longer the original cock silk appearance of the auction house, its hilt and scabbard are condensed from heavy shadows, floating with the breeze, and from time to time you can see a touch of brilliance emerging from the depths of the shadows. Condense the darkest beauty of the world.
Jenn reached out and grasped the hilt of the azure light for a split second. His momentum changed suddenly. The originally ethereal aura turned into cold and biting energy at this moment, and even patches of blue ice crystals appeared beside Jenn. The hoarfrost spread quickly under his feet, freezing the surrounding qiē.
Then. Jenn gripped the hilt of his sword, drew his sword, and swung it forward.
As Jenn unsheathed his sword, the water on the beach seemed to be attracted by something, rolling and receding in the direction of Jenn. Like the ebb tide of the waves. But when Jenn swung his sword at the hand, the river rushed towards the galloping cavalry like a galloping army of thousands of horses, as if they were soldiers summoned by the corresponding general.
If it was just ordinary river water, then it was not a threat to these cavalry. But what everyone didn't expect was that the river water began to condense rapidly as it roared and fluttered, and soon formed one after another extremely sharp icicles, stabbing towards the enemy in front of them.
So the cavalry, which had managed to organize and gallop again, once again suffered exactly the same tragedy as before. The difference is that their "predecessors" rushed headlong into the wall of thorns and were burned to death by the flames. And they were stabbed to death by crashing directly into the barrier formed by those sharp ice spikes. You must know that they were moving at full speed before, and they did not expect such an obstacle in front of them. Not to mention the fact that there was not a flat wall on the other side, but a death trap made of sharp ice spikes that mercilessly pierced the bodies of the cavalrymen, skewering them together like jerky. As light cavalry in pursuit of speed, these cavalrymen did not wear heavy armor, but wore leather armor, which also made them almost defenseless in surrender when faced with the attack of ice spikes.
"Elemental Domination! The other party has a legendary powerhouse with elemental specialization!! ”
Seeing this scene, the mages floating in the sky suddenly cried out in surprise, they were not those stunned young people who couldn't do anything but fight with their eyes black. Everywhere, the caster is a scholar first and then a mage. The opponent can manipulate such a water element to launch an attack with a gesture, and there is no magic power fluctuation, then the only explanation is that the opponent is a powerhouse in the legendary realm specializing in the water element!
This is no longer what they can deal with!
Thinking of this, several other mages immediately stepped out of the way and looked behind them. And there, the archmage strode out. He clenched the spear in his hand and stared coldly at the figure of the man on the bank of the river——— also as a legendary powerhouse, he felt the breath released by the other party the moment Jenn made a move, which was undoubtedly the power of the legendary realm. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the other party was so young.
And......... This force seems to be a little different from the previous sneak attack on you.........
Thinking of this, the archmage frowned, and then he spoke.
"You go help those waste cavalrymen, I'll deal with that guy!"
As he spoke, the archmage raised the spear in his hand, and the violent wind currents swirled around the spear with his movements, turning into a turquoise whirlwind.
And almost at the same time, he saw the young nobleman raise his head and smile at him. Seeing his expression, the archmage suddenly felt alarmed.
Not good!!
At this moment, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, completely engulfing the archmage's figure. (To be continued......)
