Although Josh was surprised, he did not panic. Although the cavalry's mobility and impact force could be fully exerted in the wilderness, this team of cavalry only had about 3,000 people at best. No matter how great the threat was, it was limited. Not to mention, the Red Spirit also had cavalry. He immediately ordered, "Magician brigade, prepare your magic! Archers, shoot! "
Rows of archers raised their long bows and shot a rain of arrows into the sky. However, the cavalry's loss was not very big. They were all equipped with shiny silver light armor and shields. Their powerful mobility and effective defensive devices greatly reduced the lethality of the arrows.
At this time, Kaguli, who was rushing at the front, shouted. All the cavalry took out a strange bow. To be precise, it was a crossbow. They fired crossbow arrows into the sky above the Red Spirit army.
The Red Spirit army burst into disdainful laughter. The range of crossbow arrows is much closer than the bow, and it is difficult to load. What's the use of shooting arrows into the sky from such a long distance?
At this moment, the arrows in the sky that were about to be exhausted suddenly exploded. Countless smaller arrows were ejected, shooting toward the Red Spirit's front army like a second-level rocket.
This change was so sudden that the Red Spirit front army almost had no time to raise their shields. What was even more terrifying was that these small arrows could actually explode. They were equivalent to small magic bombs, but the attack range was very wide. In the continuous explosions, it was chaotic for a while with heavy casualties.
Josh's face was livid. At such a long distance, the crossbow is actually more powerful than the bow! It simply subverts the conventional law of long-range warfare. When did the Demon Realm have such a weapon?
When the front army was in chaos, the cavalry had already closed the distance. If the Red Spirit cavalry was dispatched now, they might be able to entangle and delay the opponent's advance, but Josh did not do this because the magician brigade's magic was ready. The intensive magic bombardment would become the nightmare of these eccentric cavalry.
For a while, wind blades, fireballs, icicles, and lightning rained down, interweaving into a gorgeous and colorful death net.
Under the leadership of the cavalry captain, Kaguli, the Dark Moon cavalry immediately dispersed, but many were still affected. Several galloping figures were submerged in the light of magic.
"Cavalry brigade, dispatch!" Josh seized the opportunity and gave an order. The Red Spirit's most elite cavalry brigade rushed out of the formation, wanting to annihilate the remaining Dark Moon cavalry. However, the Dark Moon Cavalry was contrary to common sense. They did not confront them. Before the other party approached, they turned around and left. However, as they ran back, they fired crossbow arrows behind them.
It was still the kind of strange crossbow arrow that could split and explode. Its killing range was very wide. In the explosion sound, the Red Spirit's cavalry fell off their horses. Obviously, the Dark Moon's cavalry did not load the crossbow arrow just now. It seemed that the crossbow could be fired more than once.
Seeing their companions falling down one by one, the Red Spirit's cavalry chased with red eyes. They couldn't wait to catch up and chop the enemy into meat sauce, but the Dark Moon's fighting style was very obvious. They just played long-range and didn't give them a chance to approach.
Josh miscalculated, and his heart was bleeding: These cavalries are the elites of the Red Spirit. They are all piled up with a large amount of black crystal coins! Now facing the Dark Moon Army who is obviously weaker than us, we actually lost so much!
In desperation, Josh had to order the cavalry to return. Although he was full of anger, the Red Spirit's cavalry still faithfully executed the order. It can't be helped. We can't catch up with them, and we can't hit them either. We can only be beaten. What can we do if we don't know how to come?
At this moment, the Dark Moon's cavalry turned back very abominably. They actually took the initiative to shoot at the Red Spirit. It was that kind of crossbow arrow again, and they had learned a lot. The formation was scattered. Even the magic of the magician brigade was difficult to cause effective large-scale damage.
A large number of Red Spirit's cavalry fell again. Not only the soldiers were furious, but Josh himself almost wanted to curse out loud. Are they done yet?
These magic crossbows were researched by Tonk of the Cloak Gang under the guidance of Master Xingxing. Each crossbow could be fired 5 times. Each Dark Moon's cavalry was equipped with 2 crossbows, but due to the high cost and limited quantity, they could only be equipped with this cavalry at present.
"Sir Josh," Rus frowned, "The opponent is very cunning. It's better to order the whole army to assault. In the face of pure power, all tricks are just illusory."
Josh gritted his teeth and nodded. He regretted deeply in his heart. If I didn't want to preserve my strength, the cavalry brigade would not have suffered such a heavy loss. At least nearly 2,000 elite cavalries were lost just now.
Although the Dark Moon won a small victory with the power of the strange crossbow, the advantages and disadvantages of the military strength of both sides were still obvious. Even if I don't take the lead, even if I suffer unexpected losses, I must kill all these reckless guys from the Dark Moon!
The heavy horn sounded, and the Red Spirit army began to adjust their formation quickly to prepare for the assault.
While paying attention to the battle situation, Jía had been looking for Chen Rui who rushed out just now. The strange thing was that she never found him. Hearing the sound of the opponent's horn, she knew that the real test was coming, and the cavalry's magic crossbows were about to run out. She immediately ordered the cavalry to retreat quickly.
In the sound of the horn, the Red Spirit army rushed over like a black tide. Although the morale of the Dark Moon had been greatly encouraged in the previous small victory, it was inevitable to show a trace of uneasiness in the face of an enemy that was more than twice their own.
At this moment, Josh suddenly sensed something and looked into the air. In his sight, a group of black dots were rapidly enlarging. There were actually nearly a thousand of them. Josh and Rus were shocked at the same time. They said in unison, "Wyverns!"
So many wyverns? Could it be … the Dark Moon's Air Legion?
Impossible! It is impossible for a general estate to have so many wyverns. Let alone the Red Spirit, even the capital's only dragon cavalry legion is only 1,000 people! How can a desolate and poor place like the Dark Moon have an entire dragon cavalry legion?
Could it be that the battle between the 2 armies has alarmed a large secret wyvern tribe in the surrounding area?
"There are people on the wyverns!" Josh's eyesight was even better than Rus, and he exclaimed.
The wyverns quickly proved the suspicions of the 2 Demon Emperors with their actions. Strange things fell from the wyverns' backs and fell into the charging formation of the Red Spirit army, and they suddenly burst open.
This was not a drizzle like the previous exploding arrows, but a magic explosion with a large area of destruction. For a while, sparks splashed everywhere, and the ground shook. In just a few rounds, the Red Spirit army, which was in a dense state of charging, suffered heavy casualties. The speed and high speed of the wyverns made it impossible for the archers to effectively kill them.
The team of mages immediately launched an attack on the wyverns. However, the wyverns were extremely powerful. A few swoops had scattered the team of mages. Some mages were swept by their poisonous claws and died on the spot, while others were grabbed and thrown from a high altitude, their tendons broken and their bones fractured.
The air force and the army were indeed not on the same level.
However, no matter how strong the wyverns were, their numbers were limited after all. Facing the tens of thousands of Red Spirit soldiers, in addition to killing, it was more of a deterrent effect. The Dark Moon army did not expect that they still had such a powerful air force hidden on their side. All of them showed excitement in their eyes.
When the Red Spirit army fell into chaos and panic, and the morale of their own side rose to the peak, Jía finally issued a decisive order to charge. The arrow formation of the Dark Moon army began to charge forward.
The previous battle still had the elements of skills and probing. Next was the real hand-to-hand combat. The Red Spirit's morale was continuously hit, especially when they were constantly attacked by the wyverns in the air. The morale of the army was shaken. On the contrary, the Dark Moon's morale was high. Coupled with the excellent equipment that Jía forged at great cost, they actually faintly gained the upper hand for a while.
Josh didn't expect the scene to be completely unexpected. He knew that he must solve the biggest hidden danger of the wyverns in the air. He immediately soared into the air. Just as a wyvern swooped over, the marks around Josh's body flashed with a strange light, exuding a terrifying chill. He swept past the wyvern.
The wyvern and the knight on its back quickly froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. The wyvern could no longer flap its wings. It fell to the ground from mid-air, and its body shattered like an ice sculpture.
The powerhouse of the Demon Emperor realm had the ability to fly in the air without the support of magic. Rus on the other side had the bloodline talent of flying, [Holy Wings]. He waved the greatsword wrapped in flames in the air, and the black flames hit a flying wyvern. The wyvern howled miserably and instantly turned into ashes.
Jía had been paying attention to Josh's actions. Seeing that Josh and Rus, the 2 Demon Emperors, finally made a move, she knew that there was no Demon Emperor on her side who could match them except her. If this continued, the wyvern legion would be destroyed, and the battlefield would be reversed. She couldn't care about the danger at the moment. Two pairs of black wings appeared behind her, emitting a faint light, and she flew toward Josh.
Josh was already prepared. He pointed his finger, and a cluster of ice flame flew toward Jía. Jía's purple pupils instantly turned black and white. A snow-white long sword appeared in her hand. She drew a sharp light arc and slashed at the ice flame. The ice flame was split into two.
"Oh?" Josh was slightly surprised, then he showed a firm expression, "I didn't expect Princess Royal Highness to have reached the Demon Emperor realm. Unfortunately, you are only the early stage of the Demon Emperor, and your actual combat experience is too poor. You are not my opponent."
This sentence was not bragging. Jía had just used the power of [Heart of Light and Dark] and [Holy Wings] to slash the ice flame, but the hand holding the sword trembled faintly because of the power of thunder and lightning contained in the ice flame. However, she did not hesitate and flew straight toward Josh.
Josh's flying ability was the combination of the Demon Emperor realm and the magician's [Flying Spell], but it was not as fast as the [Holy Wings]. Once Josh got close, even if Jía's strength was far inferior, she would fall into an extremely passive position.
Josh had rich combat experience. Of course, he would not let Jía approach so easily. The symbol in his hand shone brightly. Jía felt an invisible shock coming toward her. She blocked with her sword, and she was blown away by the powerful shock wave. She finally stabilized her figure in the air.
At this time, Rus' figure had appeared behind her like a ghost. The greatsword with the terrifying [Dark Flame] slashed down. Jía was in a power vacuum period, so she couldn't avoid it.
At this moment, a figure instantly appeared beside Jía. This powerful sword slashed on the blue light shield that appeared at the same time, but it only left a faint crack. The [Dark Flame] seemed to be absorbed by the light shield.
This was a man in a cloak. A strange mask was faintly visible on his face, and his true face could not be seen.
Rus was taken aback. He slashed again, but he still couldn't break the light shield. The cloaked man had opened his 5 fingers and aimed at him. Rus knew that it was bad, so he quickly retreated.
3 huge light balls were ejected one after another toward Rus. If he didn't see the opportunity early, he would have been hit.
It's him!
The mysterious powerhouse who launched the assassination previously!
Seeing the familiar light balls, Rus and Josh understood at the same time. Immediately afterward, the figure pulled Jía and teleported again to avoid Josh's [Ice Storm].
The blue transparent shield looked a little familiar to Josh, but he still didn't associate it with a human. Not to mention that it was impossible for the human to appear here, even if he was real, it was impossible for him to withstand Rus' 2 swords that contained [Dark Flame].
On the other hand, Jía's eyes widened in an instant. Double teleportation! Protective shield!
The impression is too deep!
It's that guy!
The enemy who once sneaked into the Dark Moon Palace, stole the God-Eating Mask fragment, and peeped into my biggest secret. He is also the biggest enemy of the Lucifer Royal Family-Don't! Si! Bu!
This enemy, who had disappeared without a trace, actually appeared at this time and inexplicably saved her.
There was a strong murderous intent in Jía's eyes. The long sword in her hand stabbed toward the cloaked man without thinking.
Although Josh and Rus were also enemies, the battle with them was only an internal struggle of the Fallen Angel Empire. The Beelzebub Royal Family was the biggest hidden danger of the entire empire. As a descendant of the Lord of Midnight Sun, he would never betray the entire empire for some benefits. Even if he saved me just now, there must be a conspiracy. No matter what, this biggest enemy must die!
The long sword in Jía's hand tightened. It had been caught by the opponent with his bare hand, and she couldn't move an inch for a while. Jía's eyes quickly began to turn black and white. She was obviously going to use the strongest power of [Heart of Light and Dark].
"Stupid woman!" The cloaked man said, "Do you still remember? These 3 words!"
The familiar voice fell into Jía's ears like being struck by thunder. This "stupid woman" was what she said to herself in the council hall of the palace last time …
This was one of her secrets. Only that man knew, understood, and understood.
No! Can! Can!
"A few hours ago, I thought I had forgotten these 3 words, but now, the memory in my heart is clearer than ever. In any case, you should remember a certain promise. "
— Next time, when I say these 3 words, you can't kill me.
This was her promise at the beginning.
"If you want to know the truth, survive this battle. Then, I will wait for you in a place that only you know." A subtle voice sounded in Jía's ears. As soon as the words were spoken, the cloaked man had turned into a wisp of smoke and flew toward Josh.
Jía took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the horror and doubts in her heart. Yes, survive! Then wait for him to answer personally!
No matter what, I have to know that answer!
Princess Royal, who had made up her mind, put aside all the distracting thoughts. She stood in the air and pointed the long sword at Rus in front of her. An unprecedented powerful momentum burst out.
Rus and Jía were both early stage of the Demon Emperor. Although they had more experience and strength, they did not dare to neglect. 2 pairs of black wings also appeared behind them. The greatsword was placed in front of their eyebrows. With a whoosh, the black flame burned.
Without the restraint of Rus and Josh, the wyverns began to attack the Red Spirit's army crazily again. The rear army and the middle army of the Red Spirit became the target of intensive attacks. The battle entered a stalemate, and it was in a stalemate for a while.
From this situation, the outcome of the battle between the leaders of both sides in the air would determine the outcome of the entire battle.
