Chapter 181, the scuffle that ended abruptly
Olivia keenly noticed that although the power of the Great Prince's demi-artifact was extremely terrifying, the second shot he had just released was obviously not as wide as the first time he used it, and the black concentration did not seem to be as deep.
It seems that there is a limit to the number of times this artifact can be used per day. After all, it's just a demigod artifact, and if it can be used indefinitely... The Great Prince only needs one person to wear this glove to unify the Six Kings Continent.
After the eldest prince Taryn used the second shot, his expression was obviously stagnant. Apparently, this demigod also had an anti-devouring effect on his body.
The knight chief beside him asked with concern, "Your Highness!" Are you alright? After using it twice in such a short period of time, you have to pay attention to your body! ”
Yes. The name of this demigod is "Desolation".
You don't need complicated spells or magic to use it, you just need to wear it and pronounce those two words, and the demigod will drain the user's energy and physical strength to complete the release.
Therefore, the number of times an artifact is released per day depends on the strength of the user. In other words, if this demigod weapon falls into the hands of an ordinary person, he will definitely be killed by the glove if he can't use it for a single shot.
And even if it is as strong as the Great Prince of Sunflower, it can only release two consecutive rounds in a short period of time. If he forcibly releases the third shot, he will put his body in a state of detachment. That's not what a commander should do when two armies are at war.
He adjusted his breath a few times, pushed the knight chief away with his hand, and said softly, "I'm fine, let the infantry on both wings spread out around and surround this strange cavalry force of the enemy." The banshees in the sky don't pose much of a threat as long as they block their attacks. ”
"It's Your Highness!"
The chief knight led the order to retreat, and soon commanded a thousand infantry to open the formation and spread out to the two flanks.
These infantrymen were armed with long swords and round shields, which were originally intended to provide cover for the cavalry. But now most of the Iron Rhino Cavalry are not riding, so their mission will change immediately.
The Great Prince's adaptability is still quite good, which is why he has been able to confront the gray pigeon across the river for a long time.
Suddenly, outside the forest, not far from the center of the battlefield, a violent explosion was heard.
The eldest prince turned his head to look at it, and his heart jumped! Wasn't that the baggage force he left outside the Demon Forest to take care of? Does the other party still have extra manpower? Cut off your own back road?
You must know that although the hundred people left by the eldest prince outside the Demon Forest are not many, they are responsible for guarding the daily necessities and food needed by the army.
If this team of 100 men loses, then it is a sign that he will not be able to fight here for long. Unless he can capture Eagle Stream Canyon and the Demon Eagle Fort in two days.
If you are dragged in this forest by the enemy, you can only be slowly eaten away by the other party.
"You, you, and you, send out five hundred people! We must not allow the enemy to cut off our logistical supplies! ”
"It's Your Highness!"
Taryn ordered a few of his guards and gave them another five hundred soldiers.
In this way, the knights in this town were instantly reduced by half.
The pressure of the Dark Demon Army who was fighting him head-on suddenly lightened! Olivia hurriedly seized the opportunity to gather the people around her.
The black iron dwarves who had no muskets pulled out their pistols pinned to their waists and continued to shoot at each other. This was something that the eldest prince did not expect.
The pistols were so small that they didn't have the same rate of fire as those long-handled muskets, but they were not as powerful. At close range, it can deal some damage to the knights of the Iron Rhinoceros.
Olivia's command flag waved again, and she knew that the explosion that had just come out must have been the success of the orc forces led by Jason.
And perhaps the first desolation that the Great Prince just used is likely to melt away the trap set by Spider Meloyd.
In this case, it is no longer useful for the spiders to hide in the shadows and set traps, and they must be thrown into the battlefield as soon as possible.
Seeing the centaur's banner, the intelligence leader of the Demon Eagle Castle, hidden in the shadows of the forest, stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips.
The fingers of her hands twitched slightly, and the little spiders rushed densely into the battlefield.
Of course, they don't go directly into the battlefield and crawl into the enemy's body to bite, in that case, just a few thousand people can trample most of these little spiders to death.
Their goal is to make cobwebs, enough cobwebs! A wall of cobwebs has been erected around this barren battlefield.
The spiders are very fast! In a few moments, a circular wall of cobwebs weaved around the forest.
Meloyd stood on a large tree overlooking the middle of the battlefield. She couldn't help but secretly praise in her heart, what a powerful artifact!
This corroded barren battlefield is 2 kilometers in diameter!
With a flick of her fingers, she controlled the direction and shape of the spiders' webs.
Soon, the web was completed, and he controlled the spiders to burrow into the ground one by one.
"Okay.... You can all be buried here~"
The corners of Meloyd's mouth curled in a bewitching arc, and then disappeared into the dense canopy.
The eldest prince who took off his gloves raised his long sword and took the lead in killing Olivia, who kept waving the flag.
He also saw that this rare centaur was actually the commander of this team. If he can catch her, then he has already won half of the battle.
The eldest prince led the knights around him to knock the Dark Demon Army warriors who tried to block the way.
He's going straight to Olivia!
The centaur put away the command flag and stood proudly in place, without the slightest intention of dodging.
Because she had faintly seen that on the ground not far from her face, dense spiders had retreated into the ground. There is obviously an extra vacuum!
Sure enough, when the local cavalry rushed to a distance of less than twenty meters in front of Olivia, the horse's hooves suddenly emptied and fell forward sharply!
The eldest prince was shocked! The big black horse he sat down reacted very quickly, and when his front hooves were out of balance, he actually relied on the force of his hind legs to make his body jump high!
And the eldest prince jumped off the saddle by taking advantage of the jumping height of the war horse.
He grasped the hilt of his sword with both hands and slashed it from the sky!
Olivia also saw that the blow was good, she didn't dare to carry it hard, and her body turned to the side flexibly.
The eldest prince slashed down with a sword, directly opening a crack five or six meters long in the ground.
The giant sword in the hands of the centaur flips, and everything is transverse! The target is none other than Prince Tyranny's neck!
The eldest prince missed the blow, and suddenly his neck shrank, and his body turned to the side in a slightly embarrassed way.
Although this dodge trick may seem indecent, it is very effective in actual combat.
The centaur flipped his wrist again, and the broad-bladed sword whistled and slashed at him again. And the eldest prince stabilized his figure, knelt on one knee, and slammed the long sword in his hand forward!
With a bang, the first collision between the two sides was completed after each took a step back.
Olivia's heart was actually shocked! Because she was a centaur, the four fixed hooves of the horse could remove most of the momentum from her in a collision of the same force. But even so, the other party still forced himself to take a step back! So in other words, this Sunflower Great Prince is actually far stronger than himself in terms of strength!
At this moment, the Iron Rhino Knights, who had received orders from the Grand Prince to assault the surroundings, found that their feet were getting heavier and heavier, until they could no longer walk.
Looking down, the ruins at the edge of the forest, which had been barren, were covered with cobwebs? Slimy cobwebs!
"Where did this come from? So many cobwebs? Damn it! ”
An Iron Rhino Knight slashes away with a cobwebs wrapped around his feet like a sword. Though where his sword passed, the cobwebs broke with it. But after only one step forward, he once again fell into a quagmire.
Not far in front of the quagmire of iron rhinoceros, the Dark Demon Army, which was originally retreating, stopped one after another, and raised their ** or muskets to start shooting at them.
The knight of Tiexi Niu couldn't understand why these pig nets only stuck to him until he took his last breath. And not stick to each other?
Just as Olivia and the Great Prince Taryn were confronting each other, suddenly an old but still loud voice sounded not far away.
"Grand Prince Tyranny!"
Taryn wondered if there was anyone here who could call his name?
But when he looked up, he found that he saw Lord Ova, the chief priest of the court in his father's palace!
His heart jumped violently, and he lost his voice: "Huh? Grand Priest!? How did you end up here? ”
Yes, no matter how powerful the Duke of Sunflower is in the northwest, no matter how prominent the prince's identity is, he really doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of this old man. After all, even his father, Holger III, was also the coming-of-age ceremony of the abbot of this lord.
Olivia also turned her head to look, and saw that the old priest she had forcibly left in the Eagle Castle was walking into the battlefield accompanied by Captain Kret, with a wooden staff.
With the raised right hand of the Great Prince, all the Iron Rhino Knights also stopped moving.
Olivia waved the command flag at the right time, and the Dark Demon Army also retreated, gathering together.
A scuffle actually stopped after the old man's words.
The Grand Prince bowed slightly to the Grand Priest of Ova and nodded.
"Why are you here?"
But the old man didn't give the eldest prince face, only to see him knock the wooden staff in his hand on the ground a few times, and said angrily: "This sentence should be asked by the old minister!" Your Highness, your father, our King Holger III is not dead! Are you so eager to trade force for the throne? Blatantly sending troops to your brother's territory, what the hell do you want to do!? ”
Taryn was stiffened by the other party's words, yes... Although military operations within the kingdom's territory were not allowed, there was no shortage of military friction between him and Philip, as well as between Philip and other minor nobles.
His father also turned a blind eye to these things, after all, Holger III had said that his heir must be a well-versed overlord.
But what the Archpriest of Ova said was even more correct. The old king is still alive, and he is not seriously ill or in danger. Then the two sons in his territory have already met each other, which is indeed not normal.
Just when the eldest prince wanted to say something, he found that a soldier in the rear of his army squeezed through everyone and ran towards him.
The soldier ran to Tyron and whispered in his ear for a while.
The eldest prince's face changed suddenly! The hand holding the sword nearly dropped it to the ground.
But now on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, he suppressed the shock and anger in his heart with great perseverance, and took a deep breath.
The Grand Prince looked at Grand Priest Ova and Olivia again.
"Lord Ova, you're mistaken. We're just exercising. I want to help my brother's army mature as soon as possible. So you see, I brought only three thousand people. You're right, even if it's just a drill, it will only make outsiders who don't know the truth see the joke, then... I'm going to go back to my territory now. If you return to the Imperial City, please greet my father on my behalf. ”
After the eldest prince finished speaking, he turned over and rode on the black horse, waved his hand, and left without looking back?
Olivia also knew that the other party insisted on leaving, and she couldn't keep them at all. He raised the flag and asked the Dark Demon Army to get out of the way.
However, a hard melee that was about to enter the white-hot ended abruptly and ended inexplicably.
