Most of the Dragons scattered on the battlefield were at the outer perimeter of Eiffta's trench. If the cavalry were to attack, the dragons would be the first to be attacked. It was the first time in their lives that the Dragons saw humans who dared to charge at them on horseback. Hence, they did not know what to do.
On the Magic Tower, the three Dragons had already arrived at the top, looking down at this absurd yet real scene. Roddy was the one who knew the most and had personally participated in the planning of this "encirclement". He immediately realized what was going on and said bluntly, "The Viper Cross must have misjudged the situation due to the illusion and wanted to take advantage of the situation to secure victory."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cannons of Eiffta's camp suddenly fired in unison. From the top of the tower, the impact of the cannonballs landing on the cavalry formation could be clearly seen. Although the "Viper's Protection" could not block the crystal cannons, it could greatly suppress the impact of the cannons. Moreover, the cavalry did not form a group and attacked in small groups. The lack of cannons in Eiffta's camp immediately became obvious …
Even the powerful double-barreled crystal cannons had limited damage to the cavalry. After two rounds of firing with the cannons, they had only killed over two hundred enemies, and the enemy had already rushed to within two hundred meters.
However … before coming into contact with the Eiffta soldiers, the cavalry first had to face the dragons that covered the ground.
"How arrogant."
Victor said in a flat tone, but the chill that suddenly swept out instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. The "Frost Mirror Aura" slowed down all the cavalries within a kilometer. Victor's action also meant that the dragons had declared war on the Viktor clan.
The Frost Dragon Race at the front seemed to have received an order. They turned their heads and shot a large wave of dragon breath at the cavalry. At the same time, they raised their dragon claws and began to block the cavalry that advanced under the "Viper's Protection" like swatting flies.
At the same time, Crupus's "Wall of Illusion" caused a large number of cavalry to tighten their reins in panic. Countless horses could not withstand the force and broke their legs, falling to the ground. Pukasto raised his hand and created a huge trench that was three meters wide and more than ten meters deep outside the trench. Many cavalry and infantry that were advancing at the back could not dodge in time and fell into the trench.
"This is the first time I've seen a human charging at Dragons."
Pucasto sneered. His words were also telling Roddy the reason for the Dragons' attack — Dragons would not take the initiative to participate in human battles, but if someone took the initiative to attack Dragons, then there was nothing much to say.
Seeing the cavaliers who dodged the Dragons and all kinds of spells approaching the camp, Sally, who had been watching from the side, looked at the gigantic viper brought by the Viper's Protection. She thought for a moment and raised her left hand.
The three vipers materialized and climbed onto the Viper's Kiss in her hand. The next moment, the image of the scepter reverted to the form of three coiling snakes, and the vast aura of the scepter shook violently along with Sally's ordinary Illumination Spell!
An invisible wave spread down from the top of the tower. When it came into contact with the snake shadows of the Viper's Protection, the originally ferocious snake shadows stopped in an instant. Then, without hesitation, they turned their heads and bit at the cavaliers beside them!
The Dragons' spells had already caused the cavaliers to suffer greatly. Now that the "Viper's Protection" suddenly turned against them, they were like waves slapping on the beach, all of them stopped a few dozen meters away from the camp …
The power of the wave was too strong, causing the expressions of the few lords to change. They already knew that Sally had a divine scepter in her hand, but the power of a "divine weapon" in the hands of a mortal didn't make them think much of it. However, this simple "Illumination Spell" made them realize once again that Efferta, their master in name, was far more than just a "vase".
The reason behind this was very simple: no matter how powerful the demigod level Dragons' spells were, they still had to abide by the "laws" of this world and couldn't overstep them. But any of Sally's divine spells, even if they didn't have much power, were cast on the "laws" of this world. In other words, even if Queo used all his strength to cast a shield, Sally could easily break it with the power of the scepter.
They originally thought that they were the strongest force on the continent, but in terms of the level of spells, these demigod level lords were actually a head lower than Sally who had the scepter …
Realizing this, the three lords finally realized that Roddy's Efta force was on par with the Dragons, and it wasn't "climbing up the social ladder" at all.
The moment Pope Dai Ze disappeared from the illusion, his heart was like dead ashes. The cavalry he led were now trapped in front of the wall of illusion. No matter what scrolls or dispel magic the Pope used, there was only a burning wall of fire in front of him. And the terrifying thing about this illusion was that the soldiers who tried to force their way through would really be 'burned'.
The level of the Dragons' spells was so high that these people's brains would cause their bodies to feel the corresponding sensations, which could even lead to death.
Dai Ze understood that his decision this time was completely wrong. He could only forcibly gather the nearby cavalry and immediately put up the flag of "retreat". In this situation, there was no point in fighting to the death. Dai Ze turned his horse around and began to escape. At the same time, in order to avoid the possible bombardment, he deliberately took a snake-shaped escape route.
The "Wall of Illusion" didn't cover a large area. After retreating for more than 30 meters, the surrounding scenery returned to normal. Dai Ze saw the infantry formation that was moving forward at the back and hurriedly adjusted his direction, passing through the middle of two of the squads.
The terrifying bombardment at the frontline had already caused the infantry to hesitate. Now that they saw the flag of their commander turn around and escape, the morale of these temporarily armed infantry immediately collapsed. Without the need for the bombardment, the scattered squads began to run in all directions …
Dai Ze had already cast all the divine spells in the scepter, so his troop's speed was much faster than the other cavalry. At the same time, all of them had a faint golden halo and shield around them. After running for 300 meters, a small caliber shell from Eiffta's camp landed on the side of the troop. But under the protection of the strong and dense shield, only one knight in the troop was blown off his horse. The others were still safe and sound and continued to move forward. This scene made Dai Ze feel slightly relieved.
However, before running for 500 meters, he suddenly saw a huge circular pattern on the ground in front of him.
"This is …"
Dai Ze, who was on horseback, suddenly turned his head and found that this pattern was caused by the light shining from the top of the Magic Tower. No matter where the whole troop went, the circle with a diameter of about 50 meters followed like a shadow.
Dai Ze suddenly had an ominous premonition. At the same time, he realized that the chaotic sounds of cannons on the battlefield had all stopped.
On Eiffta's "fort", the cannons that could still fire were quickly adjusting the direction of the barrels. The soldiers used their rangefinders to track the constantly moving pattern in the distance. The platoon leaders' urging voices were continuous.
"Don't calculate ahead, aim at the circle and fire! If you miss at this distance, I won't forgive you! "
"Squad Two is ready!"
"Squad Three is ready!"
"Fire!"
Like thunder, hundreds of shells did not aim in all directions this time, but collectively flew towards the escaping troop more than 600 meters away.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
The troop of more than 40 cavalrymen was instantly drowned in the flames of the explosion.
The three lords standing on top of the Magic Tower watched this scene. Although they did not say anything, they obviously had the same doubts. If they were the ones standing there, would they be able to withstand this wave of bombardment?
They could dodge it, but if they were to take it head-on, their shields would definitely not be able to withstand this round of bombardment. As for how many shells their bodies could withstand … Their feelings were no different from Queio's.
"It is very difficult for humans to compare with demonic creatures in melee combat. I believe that all the lords must have a common understanding of this. Therefore, in the future, when facing the demonic army, this battle method will replace the simplest human wave tactic. "
Roddy felt like he was Stark at the beginning of Iron Man, showing the power of tactical missiles to others. The dense black mushroom cloud was now in everyone's field of vision, making the best footnote for his words. "This tactic, I call it 'firepower coverage.' Simple, crude, but effective. "
The smoke dispersed. Pope Dai Ze, who had been covered in shields and BUFFs, had completely disappeared along with his guards and deputies.
"In the future, Eiffta's army will be equipped with more crystal cannons. There will be models with larger caliber, stronger firepower, longer range, and more accurate models. Not only will it be used on the army, but it will also be used on the air force and navy. The demonic invasion is probably not limited to land creatures. The ancient beasts are the best example. To be able to attack the enemy from all directions and cause a destructive blow, this is my vision for the future human army. "
This was actually the military system of the earth's army, sea, and air forces. However, he would not talk about strategic weapons and satellites at the moment. Just the appearance of firearms was enough to make these dragons realize that the era of change had arrived. The three lords in front of him were silent for a long time. Finally, Pukatos spoke, "How did you think of these things? The High Elves have controlled the Rechargeable Crystal for more than 200 years, but I have never seen them make something like this. Do you remember? "
He turned to look at Victor, who shook his head. "The Rechargeable Crystal of the High Elves has made great progress in magic formation technology, but most of them follow the arcane system, only greatly enhanced and improved. They are mainly energy attacks. I remember that before the war, long-range physical attacks had just appeared. "
