There were more than a hundred enemies charging at them. Their equipment was excellent, but their horsemanship was terrible. Although the trees were sparse, many people still fell behind because they clumsily dodged the trees.
Viscount Anru's private army commander was at the front of the group. After choosing a suitable place to charge, he decisively led everyone to launch an attack. Based on his years of "combat experience", he believed that the less than 80 people in front of him would not be able to withstand the charge of these "elite private soldiers". So when they were about 70 meters away, he raised his sword high and shouted confidently, "Kill everyone! Leave no one alive! "
The soldiers who responded to him were even more murderous. But just as they shouted, "Kill! Kill! Kill! "Then, the adjutant who was closer to the commander suddenly widened his eyes.
That was because the head of the private army commander beside him … had suddenly disappeared.
Sixty meters away, Roddy slowly put down his horn bow made of dragon bone and demonic core wood.
He was not excited about killing the enemy leader with one arrow. He just frowned and looked at the "unplanned" enemies and ordered helplessly, "There's no time to wait. Send the signal and finish them quickly!"
Without waiting for Roddy to say anything, Sodelor immediately pulled out his "guardian tooth", lined up in formation, and shouted, "Dragon Spear Knights, attack!"
The sound of a sword being unsheathed instantly echoed through the forest. At the same time, a whistling arrow flew into the sky with a sharp whistle. In the next moment, Sodelor took the lead and led the team on their warhorses!
This powerful 'ghost knight' launched a unique skill of his advanced class, 'Group Charge'. With the help of his battle aura, the knights behind him accelerated at the same time. It should have taken 10 seconds to complete the acceleration process, but it was shortened to 3 seconds. The first batch of 30 knights almost started to sprint at full speed in the blink of an eye.
Among them, 26 had completed their "advancement" and became "guardian knights" like Titus. Their strength had changed dramatically. After the "Acceleration Aura", "Group Defense Aura", and "Bravery Aura" overlapped, their attack, defense, speed, and explosive power were all greatly improved. Moreover, the Battle Aura that erupted from the skill caused the grass in front of him to fall to the ground!
Roddy and Naifei stayed behind with the reserve team. Akasha had already cast more than ten types of divine incantations. At this moment, she was also sitting on the saddle, calmly looking forward.
Because it was a battle within the forest, the lightly armored Dragon Knights did not carry any lances. However, this did not hinder their terrifying lethality. The average level of the private soldiers in the so-called "Fine armor" was only Level-11. They might be impressive in the Bogdo parish, but in front of the "Dragon Spear Knights" who had advanced to Level-2 and had an average base level of Level-17, they were no different from wooden rakes on the drill ground.
"Pfft, pfft …"
In less than ten seconds, the two sides collided head-on.
In the process of high-speed charging, the weapons relied on "weight" instead of "sharpness" to cause damage. When the knights used their "Battle Aura" and crossed paths with the enemy, the scattered flesh and blood showed the terrible consequences of the difference in strength …
Viscount Anru's private soldiers had not experienced many frontal assaults at all. They had only shown off a few times when they were "suppressing bandits" or "dealing with civilians". But when faced with the real trump card team that was full of vigor and superb horsemanship, no matter how hard these people brandished their weapons, they felt like bean sprouts in a gale … They had no power to resist at all.
Most of their weapons missed because the Dragon Spear Knights were able to make reasonable judgments with their naked eyes at the moment of contact and block or dodge effectively. And when the two sides crossed each other, the Dragon Spear Knights would casually swing their longswords in their hands, and they would often separate an enemy's body from top to bottom …
The veterans were no longer like the newbies who wanted to use all their strength for every strike. At this point in time, if they could use a fraction of their strength to defeat an enemy, they would definitely not use 20 percent of their strength … Because these knights were very clear about one thing: they could never place their hopes on the so-called "reinforcements" at any time. They could only rely on themselves.
Therefore, their charge was invincible.
More than twenty out of the one hundred and twenty people in the team fell as if they had been shaved bald. Those fellows who had just finished their charge looked left and right, waiting for their orders to regroup. But it was only at this moment that they realized … that their commander had already died on the way.
The so-called morale had vanished into thin air in the face of such a devastating blow.
And just as they were about to scatter and retreat, two other cavalry teams rushed out from the forest. When these private soldiers recognized who the newcomers were, they screamed in terror —
"It's Titus!"
"Wellington is here too!"
"Run … Run!"
When Sally received the signal from the Whistling Arrow, she immediately rushed over from the Meer River. At the same time, the barbarian soldiers who had been hiding earlier also rushed over, fully armed.
At this point, there were about one hundred and seventy troops gathered here. Viscount Anru's private soldiers who had tried to ambush Roddy were, without a doubt, surrounded like dumplings.
A long-planned "assassination" had been resolved just like that. But after the battle that lasted for more than twenty minutes, the people who had gathered together did not look happy at all.
"After careful observation, it's Viscount Anru's men."
"Reckless …"
Roddy's face darkened. Although these enemies could not escape the fate of being executed, this unexpected ambush had directly disrupted his plans.
His trump card had been exposed in advance, and the location of the battle had changed. Now, the troops were going to set up an ambush again?
"Big Brother Roddy, is this the end?"
Naifei did not like bloody scenes. She twisted her buttocks and let the warhorse move closer to Rody's side.
"No … this is not the end, Naifei. From now on, be more vigilant. Pay attention to any abnormalities in your surroundings —"
Roddy's serious words made Naifei realize the severity of the situation. She nodded and glanced around. Suddenly, she said, "Big Brother Roddy, there seems to be something strange above us."
"What?"
Roddy was stunned for a moment. Thinking of Naifei's ability, he immediately activated his "Demon Hunter Vision" to take a look …
"No … no!"
*****
"I don't know if they have started …"
On the other side of the forest, Viscount Sienna was looking in a certain direction expectantly. He had little interest in hunting. At this moment, all he could think of was the heroic figure of Sally Duke …
Compared to her, those mediocre women had really wasted half of his life!
"Those fanatics won't hurt her, will they? I don't want to see such a noble get hurt … "
As he sighed, he tried to ask Kason about it. However, Sienna's reply was also very simple. "I don't know."
"Anything can happen on the battlefield. If possible, I don't recommend you to take the risk. Just wait patiently, Young Master Sienna."
As a Family Sorcerer, although Kason was self-conscious, he still had to think about his heir. However, Sienna had no interest in listening to his advice. He was completely focused on Sally. "Then how should I intervene in this battle? After Roddy and Sodelor are killed? Then it's best if I knock Sally out. That way, I'll be the first person she sees when she wakes up. When that time comes, hehe … "
Kason was extremely annoyed by Sienna's "hero rescuing the damsel in distress" act. Therefore, after a few perfunctory words, he simply shut his mouth and did not say anything else.
Just then, an injured reindeer galloped past them. Viscount An Ru's party was in hot pursuit of it. Sienna had his men stop the reindeer while he rode his horse over to greet An Ru. Then, they started chatting amiably.
However, behind the seemingly lively exchange of pleasantries, both of them were secretly paying attention to the same direction …
"Viscount Anru, you truly live up to your name. I hope that you'll be the winner today."
"Viscount Sienna, don't be so humble. This —"
Halfway through their conversation, a blinding red light suddenly bloomed from afar!
"Kaboom!"
Four to five seconds after everyone turned their heads to look, a deafening explosion ensued. It was not just one explosion, but five in a row!
Sienna and Anru looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces. They felt guilty and could not say anything for the time being. At the same time, they were also wondering about the meaning of the explosions.
Only Kason, who was beside them, was shocked —
"Five explosions … This elemental fluctuation, it's a 'Meteor Storm'?!"
After confirming that this spell was nicknamed the "Battlefield Incinerator", he immediately realized that this was definitely something that only the "Viper Cross" would do. But … it was supposed to be an "assassination" …
Now that a spell comparable to a Forbidden Spell had been unleashed — how were they going to clean up this mess?
As the echoes of the explosions gradually faded, a golden light flashed before everyone's eyes again!
This time, it was not the sound of an explosion, but the sound of a holy prayer. When they looked up, Sienna and the others could vaguely see a huge shadow floating in the air through the gaps in the trees.
It was a golden cross decorated with crossed roses.
"Holy Seal?! Why would the holy seal of the 'Rose Cross' appear here?"
The 'Holy Seal' was a battlefield "summoning order" unique to the Church during the "Holy War". Its appearance meant that the "Rose Cross" had troops nearby …
After Kason's exclamation, Sienna, who was beside him, immediately realized that something was wrong. Although he was lustful, he was not the least bit slow when it came to business. At this moment, he was only stunned for half a second before he cursed, "Damn it —"
"This is a trap! She knew it all along! "
