The deep and drawn-out sound of the horn was rarely used in small-scale battles. Soldiers who did not have much combat experience would not even know what this sound meant. Only Wellington, who had participated in several wars, was extremely sensitive to this sound.
The enemies on the riverbank were stunned by the sudden and accurate rain of arrows. Heavy armor was widely recognized as effective against arrows, so Bussell and the others could chase after Randolf and the other Wood Elves without any scruples. But no one expected that there would be arrows so powerful that they could directly penetrate the armor and even kill Bussell who was protected by his Battle Aura!
Not only Bussell, but more than ten knights at the forefront were all hit by the arrows and fell to the ground within five seconds. This scene made people feel as though a vicious dog that was about to bite its prey had its head chopped off by an axe. Their original momentum suddenly disappeared, and even their charging speed was reduced by half!
Such a blow to the morale of the entire team was so great that the running infantrymen widened their eyes and slowed down their pace, not knowing what to do.
Shortly after, a team of 40 Cavalrymen charged out from the forest beside them.
Viscount Juan had sent out a total of fifty cavalrymen, and more than thirty of them came to chase after Wellington. After ten of them were shot dead, there were only twenty-three cavalrymen left. Facing this murderous team that had more than twice their number, Viscount Juan, who had lost the leader of Bussell, did not have the strength to fight back. They could only brace themselves and face the enemy's attack from the side.
They instinctively raised their shields to block, trying to rely on their sturdy armor to withstand the enemy's attack. These cavalrymen were the 'blood and sweat' of Viscount Juan for nearly ten years. Their equipment and training had cost a lot of resources and energy. So when facing any enemy, they had confidence that no conventional army could match up to.
This team was all Viscount Juan's hope. They were built with a lot of money, and when facing any army in the territory, they believed that they had the absolute advantage in equipment and strength.
But when the two sides came into contact, everything did not go as they had imagined.
In terms of equipment, the armor that they were so proud of was as pitiful as a beggar in front of Roddy's troops.
In terms of strength, these cavalrymen had only been trained for a few years and had never experienced a truly cruel and bloody battle. They had never faced groups of Orc Wolf Riders, nor had they faced Undead Knights riding on skeletal war horses, nor had they fought against tens of thousands of zombies surrounding a city.
They were only trained "recruits" and had not experienced the test of blood and fire.
The average level of Roddy's cavalrymen was Level 13, and the higher ones had reached Level 15. Sodelor had even advanced to Level 4 as a Specter Knight. In terms of Defense, HP, and Attack Power, they were almost twice as strong as these cavalrymen!
Under such circumstances, when Roddy's troops attacked from the side with twice the number of troops, the result could only be described in one word:
Crushing!
The whole cavalry unit was like a heavy hammer that smashed iron nails. From the moment they made contact, they suppressed the enemy's morale. With Holy Shield, Sodelor broke through the enemy's formation unscathed. The Guardian Tooth in his hand was full of Battle Aura and was very powerful. Every swing of the sword brought up a large number of broken limbs!
Their charge was indomitable, as if they had directly trampled the enemy cavalry unit under their feet.
In less than ten seconds, Viscount Juan's cavalry unit was only left with four who had not dismounted.
The absolute advantage in strength made the battle between the cavalry end in the blink of an eye. Sodelor did not stop and continued to charge towards the enemy's rear without slowing down!
There were more than 150 infantrymen following Knight Busero. It sounded like a large number, but because they had been chasing after the cavalry unit, their formation had long been stretched thin. It was impossible for them to form a compact formation to resist the charge of Sodelor's cavalry unit. Facing the cavalry unit, they had no choice but to choose to scatter to the sides and do their best to avoid the charge of this killing unit.
However, no matter how they dodged, the infantrymen were targeted by the cavalry in open areas. The result was a one-sided massacre. The cavalry unit of 40 people swung their swords and effortlessly split them apart!
Roddy's figure was mixed in the middle of this unit. He did not use his battle axe to slash, but instead, he scanned the situation on the battlefield and sniped the enemies that seemed to be more threatening. After this extremely successful charge, he immediately ordered to continue forward and quickly rescue the surrounded Harry and the others. Therefore, he did not turn back and charge a second time.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, causing the remaining infantrymen to think that they had escaped a disaster. However, before they could heave a sigh of relief, another army of more than 50 infantrymen charged out from the forest!
At the same time, Knight Wellington, who understood the reversal of the situation, led his troops in a circle and led his subordinates and the remaining knights of the caravan back to attack …
The situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. Wellington's sharp senses captured this crucial moment and forcefully changed his identity from 'being chased' to 'being chased'. He cooperated with Roddy's infantrymen and began to encircle and annihilate the enemies!
During this process of changing roles, Randolf and the other Wood Elves were the slowest to react. However, it was not their fault for being slow. It was because they were not familiar with controlling the warhorses. However, no matter how dumb they were, they could clearly see the situation in front of them. Randolf's reaction was faster and he immediately understood that it was time for him to counterattack … He shouted an order, "Dismount!" and took the lead to jump down from the warhorse. Then, he stretched out his hand and asked for a few arrows from the hunters beside him. He nocked his short bow and was ready to shoot. However, before he released the bowstring, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure beside him.
A gigantic longbow, sharp black and red leather armor, and a camouflaged cloak … Nata, who was wearing a full set of exquisite equipment, suddenly appeared beside the Wood Elves without any warning, causing them to be a little surprised.
Her appearance had changed so much that these companions who had lived with her for many years couldn't recognize her identity.
The previous Natha was lonely and separated from the group. She wasn't considered strong, but she had a stubborn personality. She was always alone when she hunted … But now, she took the initiative to appear beside these Wood Elf hunters. She raised her hand and pointed at the enemies who were preparing to resist. She said, "Advance and cover fire."
Natha rarely spoke. Many of the hunters who had lived with her for many years had never heard her speak. Therefore, when she took the initiative to give an 'order', Randolf and the others were in disbelief.
She had only left for half a year and she had changed so much?
Randolf had a lot of things he wanted to say in his heart: How much his archery had improved, how much his status had changed, what had happened in the village during this period of time and so on. However, as Natha raised her bow and began to shoot, Randolf understood that Natha represented the team that saved his people. Her words were equivalent to the order of the human named 'Roddy' …
Although Randolf didn't have a good impression of Roddy, he still saved them. So, he immediately began to shoot in groups with the surrounding Wood Elves. With their cover fire, the Wellington Knights' charge and the infantry's advance seemed to be extremely smooth. When all the arrows that they could find were shot, the battle gradually came to an end.
