Chapter 687: Rhythm Master
After challenging Rhodes in front of him, the two of them went to the space created by the Phantom Orb underground, and each led an army into battle, with John commanding his cavalry team. And Bilan's Heart chose a ground force composed of a mixture of mercenaries and guards, of course, Bilan's Heart has just arrived here, and has no prestige among the soldiers at all. Therefore, the actual commander of this unit is Marfa, and the heart of Bilanxin only needs to be responsible for giving orders and then handing them over to Marfa to carry out. But even so, John was confident enough to destroy this force, and his cavalry regiment was well-equipped, and had undergone many difficult tests and trainings, and was completely obedient to his command and orders. But on the other hand, there is nothing on the side of Bilan's heart, although there is Marfa by her side to assist, but her subordinates are just ordinary city guards and mercenaries——— if it is the elite group of Marfa and Thor, then John may still play the drums, but at the moment, these city guards and mercenaries, he still doesn't pay attention to them. Even if they were able to enforce the ban, what would they do? The gap in strength is so big, with one charge, presumably they will be completely defeated.
"Mr. Rhodes, is there really no problem?"
Standing on the valley next to her, looking at the two armies facing each other below, Li Jie couldn't help but ask with some uneasiness.
"Do you want Miss Heart to familiarize herself with it first, and then start fighting in a few days? Now like this, she doesn't have a tacit understanding with those soldiers at all, in case there is any accident..............."
"Don't worry, Lizzie."
However, before Lijie could finish her words, she saw the little bubblegum sitting cross-legged next to her waving her hand, and then she pursed her lips and looked at the battlefield below with a little dissatisfaction and ridicule.
"Don't look at Sister Xin's appearance. She's the worst of us, hmph, she doesn't know what Lu Dao is thinking, but she actually has the most bad water in her stomach, and compared to those rookies who are scary when the battle situation is chaotic, the quality of these soldiers is already good. As long as they can be obedient, John will wait to be played to death by her. ”
"Hahh..............."
Hearing the little bubble gum's answer, everyone couldn't help but show a little confused expression, they looked at each other, and they could see each other's doubts, puzzlements, and at the same time a little expectation. After all, among these people, Marfa and Thor are veteran warriors, and they have long been accustomed to command and fight on the battlefield. And Joey and Lando have been working out for so long. It's basically the same as a veteran. As for Labis——— it's a complete hilarity.
But no matter who it is, at this time, looking at Bi Lan's heart, he couldn't help but look forward to it, after all, being able to be so highly praised by Little Bubble Gum, and Rod was also full of confidence next to him, which showed that the woman in front of him must have some ability. But......... How on earth was she going to defeat John and win in such a short period of time with an army that she had never mastered before?
Under the gaze of the crowd. Blan's heart remained lethargic, riding on a short, thin horse. The body sways slightly from side to side from time to time. At the same time, the heavy and gorgeous book in her hand was now spread out in front of Bi Lan's heart, while the woman was holding the book in one hand and gently rubbing the corner of the page with the other. Her eyes were lowered and her eyes were obscured, making it impossible to see her expressions and thoughts.
John and his cavalry regiment had now formed a charge formation on the gentle slope of the valley, and the sun was shining down from the sky behind him, shining on the plains and valleys. This was the most favorable terrain for cavalry, and from the compact triangular charge formation in front of him, it could be seen that John was quite capable of controlling his subordinates.
"How do we do it? Miss Heart? ”
Marfa narrowed her eyes and looked ahead, but the bright sunlight made it impossible for him to see what John and his cavalry were really doing. Although he has gathered his guards and mercenaries. But the woman who sat leisurely on horseback remained silent, did not say anything, but allowed herself to gather the soldiers, although these guards and mercenaries were quite obedient, but ———it was not herself who had to be tested this time.
“………………… Hmmm..............."
In the face of Marfa's answer, Bilan's heart did not react immediately, instead, she lowered her head like that, the fingers of her right hand lightly touched the page, and after a moment, she snorted indistinctly and spoke.
"Defensive formation, spread out on both sides."
"Expand?"
Hearing Bilan's answer, Marfa couldn't help but be stunned, he turned his head and glanced at the sparse hundred or so soldiers beside him. Squinting his eyes and looking at the well-equipped and well-formed cavalry regiment above, he couldn't understand the rhythm of what Bilan's heart wanted to do, originally a hundred infantry were already very difficult against the cavalry. This unfolds again, how to fight?
"Let's get started."
But before Marfa could think clearly, Rhodes on the side had already given the order to start the battle, and when he heard Rhodes' order, the canary next to him stretched out his hand, and soon, a brilliant fireball flew into the sky, marking the beginning of the battle.
"The whole army is ready, charge!!"
Seeing the fireball in front of him, John raised the spear in his hand, looked at the infantry troops on the plain not far away, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he swung it hard, and then rushed out of the spear, and behind John, the cavalrymen who had been waiting for a long time immediately shouted in unison, and then leaped down the hillside like a sloping torrent, and rushed straight to their target.
"Defensive formation, deploy!"
Seeing that John and the others had already rushed over, Marfa no longer hesitated, and immediately raised his sword and shouted.
Although the strength is not as good as the player, but at this time, the discipline of these soldiers under Marfa is perfectly displayed, after hearing Marfa's order, they did not hesitate at all, and there was no doubt, and they quickly divided into three columns and lined up, forming a narrow defensive line. By this time, John's cavalry was already in sight.
“……………………!!”
See this scene. The onlookers couldn't help but hold their breath, and looking down from above, they could see the huge gap between the two. John led the charge, while behind him, the cavalry rallied closely in his center, gathering in a tight formation and stabbing straight forward like a sharp blade.
On the other hand, there is another side. Bi Lan's heart sat on a small horse diagonally, hanging from the side of the soldiers she commanded, looking as if she was completely a passerby passing by and watching the soy sauce, but Marfa, who was in a hurry at the moment next to the woman, looked more like the commander of this army.
"Huh?"
I don't know if it was because Marfa didn't understand exactly what the heart of Biran's order was, but by the time he had the infantry set up their defensive formations and pull away, John's cavalry had already charged two-thirds of the way. Seeing this strange scene in front of him, John couldn't help but be stunned, he had been fighting for so many years, and he had never seen a change in the formation and so slowly. When he had already rushed to the front of him, he set up a defensive formation. What's the use of that?!
"Rush!"
Looking at this scene in front of him, John didn't think much about it, and quickly gave the order, and under his order, the cavalry team accelerated again! Finally, the two sides met!
"Bang!!"
Without the slightest stagnation, John's cavalry easily tore through the defensive formation that had just been hastily assembled. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty soldiers were knocked out of the air, although they were in the phantom space. They don't die from fatal injuries, but bruises are inevitable. And now, they who were judged by the system to be "dead" naturally fainted to the ground, unconscious.
John's impact was like a sharp sword tearing through the veil and easily dealt a hard blow to Bilan's heart, and for a moment not only the defense line was torn apart, but even the surrounding soldiers began to waver, and their formation began to become messy. Seeing that if you come again and be charged by the other party, there will be only one way to die. Seeing all this, Marfa also frowned, and just when he turned around and was about to say something to the woman next to him, he saw that Bilan's heart raised his head at this time. Glancing in front of him.
"Forward, forward."
Forward?
Marfa only felt that this order was really strange, and everyone had beaten us through, so what's the point of us moving forward? If Marfa is a player, I'm afraid I have to complain now about whether Bilan's heart can't keep up with the network speed and delay in giving an order? But at the moment, Marfa was obviously not in the mood to complain, he hurriedly cheered up, and yelled for the soldiers to continue forward, although Marfa's order was inexplicable, but the soldiers still rushed forward. And Bi Lan's heart was still hanging leisurely behind, looking at the chaotic formation in front of him, completely relying on long-term training to maintain the overall formation in front of him, even Marfa couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, but Bi Lan's heart didn't say anything.
"It's still too reluctant."
Looking at the development of the battle situation in front of her, Marin couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, she led the Demon Legion and the reformers to fight so many battles in the Flower Field, and she also had some understanding of the battle situation. At the moment, the army on the side of Blan's heart is completely at the end of the crossbow, although they can barely keep it intact, but Marlene also knows very well that as long as John beats them through these people, the whole line will collapse immediately. Originally, cavalry had an advantage over infantry, but now that she did this, no matter what Miss Bilanxin wanted to do, I am afraid it would be difficult to succeed.
Sure enough, as if to confirm Marlene's expectations, John led his cavalry team around the plains, regrouped into a murderous attack formation, and once again rushed from behind towards the troops under Brin's heart. This time, if Bilan's heart doesn't make any adjustments, then it will be a complete failure.
"Stop, assemble, turn around."
Although the situation was extremely critical at the moment, Bi Lan's heart was still not the slightest nervous, she lowered her head, stared at the page in her hand, and then opened her mouth to give an order. Hearing her order, Marfa also hurriedly ordered the soldiers who continued to advance to stop and gather together, and at this time, Bilan's heart issued another order that made Marfa speechless.
"Gathering, overlapping triangular charge formations."
Charge?
Hearing this word, Marfa couldn't help but be stunned, he felt more and more that this young lady's order was simply too unreliable, in fact, from the very beginning, Marfa felt that this young lady's performance was completely a rookie. The reaction to the battlefield was not fast at all, and the order was even given after someone else had finished attacking. And now he misjudged the situation, his side has lost more than 30 people, even if he gathers and charges, what can he do? They're infantry, and they're cavalry! It would be nice if you had pikemen under your command, but here they are all ordinary infantry. Gather and knight against the charge? Isn't this looking for death?
Although he was slandered in his heart, but because Rhodes had already spoken first, even if Marfa had more dissatisfaction in his heart, he could only do it according to the orders of Bilan's heart at this moment, this time Marfa's speed was very fast, but the result was almost the same as just now——— when he sorted out the formation, John's cavalry was already close at hand.
"Hahh..............."
Seeing this, many people sighed, in their opinion. The end of the matter is already doomed. John had already broken up the army of Birlan's heart in a charge before, and if it was broken through again, then the defeat of Blan's heart could be completely determined............ It's almost a sure thing.
And at this critical moment, I saw that Blan's heart was still on the verge of falling asleep, and she rode on horseback, little by little, like the lethargic students in the classroom who forced themselves not to sleep, until the hooves of John's cavalry. had already come to her——— at this moment, Bi Lan's heart suddenly raised her head.
"Rush."
She only said one word. And then nothing was said again.
"Rush!!"
Although I don't know what this young lady is thinking, but now Marfa also admits it, even if she loses, she will happily go up and lose and finish! It's better than being killed without even having the strength to fight back! Thinking of this, Marfa raised her long sword and swung it forward vigorously!
The two triangles collided with each other. In the eyes of everyone, John's cavalry easily smashed the infantry vanguard under Blue Heart, and then, as long as they beat the opponent in front of them again, then it was all over. But...............
"Huh?"
Anne's eyes widened in surprise. Looking at the scene below, and beside her, everyone's faces also changed slightly.
I saw that John, who had the advantage in the first encounter, did not penetrate the other party as he did before, but they themselves became confused, the originally tightly integrated formation now looked as if it had become a pot of stirred hot soup that was constantly rotating, originally in order to maintain the speed of the charge, there was a certain distance between the cavalry, but now, they have completely lost this "safe distance", from time to time you can see the front and rear horses and knights colliding together, someone wants to dodge, But he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, and those lucky ones didn't collide and the knight was no better. The loss of speed was equivalent to the loss of the most threatening threat, and in this chaotic, crowded formation, the cavalry could not even turn around, so they were swarmed by the infantry, dragged off their horses, and then completely leveled.
To put it simply, it's as if two triangular blocks collide together, and then "pop" and disintegrate, and all the pieces of the bricks are mixed together.
In just a moment, the victory was reversed, the tall size of the war horse and the heavy armor of the knights did nothing in this narrow melee, but the flexible bodies of the infantry exerted their great power at this time, they flexibly dodged the attacks of the knights on the war horses, and fought with them on the other hand.
"What the hell is this ...............?"
Looking at the chaotic situation in front of them, no one could figure out what was happening, and they couldn't understand how John's cavalry charge would not be able to penetrate the makeshift defensive lineup. And at this time, Rod also stretched out his hand and made a gesture to the canary.
"Alright, that's the end of it."
Soon, another fireball flew into the sky and exploded. And then, the battlefield that was originally a melee gradually stopped. Rod walked down the valley and toward the battlefield in front of him. The crowd followed, looking at all this with curiosity and bewilderment.
At this moment, John no longer has the majesty just now, but looks embarrassed and confused, his helmet was knocked off in the battle just now, and his hair is messy like a chicken nest, although John can barely ride on a war horse, but at this moment look at his expression to know the way. He was hit hard.
How so?
Others may not be able to understand why John will lose, but John himself knows very well that it is true that when he first led the charge to tear through the defense, and by the time of the second attack, he had similar thoughts to Marfa. There is no tacit understanding of the army. There are no subtle commands, and the commands of the Heart of Blanc are simple, and there is no point in attacking. However, it wasn't until the Queen's Heart, when Blanc's Heart ordered the infantry to charge, that John finally realized what she was hiding behind her back.
On the surface, the combat power of the two sides is not on the same level, but Bilan's heart has done something that makes John extremely frightened.
She interrupted her rhythm!!
It is also known that there is a rhythm on the battlefield. This is a kind of momentum, a subtle, indescribable existence. It's like John's cavalry, they may still be a group of people at the beginning of the charge, but gradually they will merge as one, as if they were one person. Breathe together and run. Forward, even the movements are almost identical. It is this sense of rhythm that connects them like glue and merges into a whole.
Brin's charge was rough, but her timing was subtle, and John could feel it the moment he made contact with the other party. The original cohesion and rhythm of integration were broken in an instant, it was like a person dancing with great energy, but at this moment, someone knocked on him with a stick, interrupting his beautiful and coherent dance. The same is true of John's cavalry, which originally cooperated tacitly. Maintaining a consistent rhythm is disrupted, and in its place is utterly chaotic. Not to mention that the dazzling sunlight in front of them also made them miss the opportunity to adjust at the first time, and even under the illumination of the sun, John and the others couldn't see the enemy in front of them clearly, which made them fall into this quagmire without even being able to retreat, and the ending was already doomed.
Thinking of this, John couldn't help but shudder all over his body, he stared blankly at Bilan's heart, silent. It was only now that he understood the meaning of those strange orders given by the heart of Bilan. The reason why she was able to break through easily at the beginning was not that she was too slow to command and react, but that she was using this to test and understand her offensive rhythm! She then ordered her soldiers to charge forward, then turned around, using the sunlight to shield their senses from making adjustments. And the slow completion of the previous formation was not due to the poor command of Bilanzhi, think about it carefully, when these two formations were completed, they were the moments when he had already rushed in front of the other party, and at that time, even if he wanted to make any changes, it was too late, so he could only break into it!
Although the sun shining on him was so warm, John felt like he was falling into an ice cave, and he felt a fear that he had not felt for a long time. If it was really on the battlefield, I am afraid that by this time, I would not even know how Lu Dao died. Is it just a team of soldiers with no special training, just a few ordinary orders, to get to this point? Not to mention, although it is easy to say, it is very difficult, almost impossible, to know the rhythm of someone else's attack and find that changing interval to interrupt it in a rapidly changing battlefield. And the young lady in front of her can do it so easily............
"How? John? ”
Rod's voice sounded, and it was only then that John realized that he had come to him, which made John hurriedly turn over and dismount, and respectfully saluted Rod. Then he looked at Bilan's heart with a little fear, and then he bowed his head deeply.
"I lost, Lord Rhodes."
This was the end of the battle, and most of the people except John didn't understand what was going on, only a few veterans such as Thor and Marfa saw the doorway, and they were also in awe of Bilan's heart, and of course they knew how difficult it was. But this is not the most important thing, the important thing is that before Bilan's heart has done all this, they don't see that Bilan's heart wants to interrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm in the slightest. Her seemingly random attacks at first glance blinded everyone, and that alone was enough to be admirable.
Since John did not object, the matter was naturally settled. And just when Rhodes and the others left the phantom space satisfactorily and returned to the training ground located underground, they unexpectedly saw Agapy's trace.
"What's the matter? Agavi? ”
Looking at the sea elf maid who kept swinging his tentacles, Rhodes asked curiously. Hearing his inquiry, Agapì stretched out her two arms, lifted the skirt of her tentacles, and bowed slightly to Rhodes before speaking.
"Yes, master, there was a report just now that Miss Seven Love and Mr. Walker have returned."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Rod's eyes lit up. (To be continued......)
