279.If our iron hoof continues to move forward... (Page 1/2)
The terrain of Scarlet Keep is plain.
There are not many mountains nearby except for some hills. This endless flatness once shaped the most prosperous area of Transia. However, successive disasters have made this place more and more withered..
But on the other hand, it is also beneficial to fight a war on a land that has been repeatedly ravaged. It means that the two warring parties do not have to think more and can just fight to their heart's content..
The serenade barrier of the Scarlet Castle in the distance is being restored. Under the illumination of the Astral Creation emitting purple light above the head, it can be seen that the scarlet barrier has gathered to two-thirds, covering most of the ruins of the entire city, allowing the jackal to The turbid current composed of human vanguard can no longer easily cross the place guarded by loyal and brave men..
However, the remaining one-third facing the west is still anxiously fighting, and the chaotic and violent wave of gnolls is attacking their last hope of breaking the city..
Once the Serenade barrier is closed again, they will lose the possibility of stepping here forever..
But like the tide crashing against the rocks.
No matter how crazy they are, they are still unable to take another step forward. The battlefield is so wide, and the gnolls' numerical advantage cannot be used at all when the serenade barrier gradually closes..
“The vampires have won.”
The vulture knight Valander put down the telescope in his hand. This vulgar but brave knight looked at the battlefield in the distance with displeasure. He complained to his companions who were ready to go.：
“We were still late. We wanted to give that cunning Murphy a favor, but now even without us, they can still defend their ruined city..”
“Think on the bright side, my lord..”
Next to Wallander, a hussar captain who was as tall and strong as him grinned and said:：
“This proves that the Blood Vulture clan is still strong despite suffering heavy losses. Hasn't the Count already decided to form an alliance with them? Who would find a group of cowards and weaklings to form an alliance?？
When the black disaster is coming, the stronger they are, the better it is for us, just like two weak wolf packs can once again dominate the forest when they merge..”
“With Transia being like this, what's there to be thankful for about becoming the wolf king here?？”
On the other side of Knight Valander, his wife was only half a head shorter than Valander. Madam Sunny, who was like a "giant", tied up her braid, put the flying-winged battle helmet on her head and put the horse on her back. The fierce long-handled sword used for war is held in the hand.
she said disdainfully：
“Whether it is them or us, we are all lone wolves licking our wounds now. The first step to rebuild the wolf pack is to have another fight when both sides are weak to choose the wolf king..
They're stronger than us and you think that's a good thing, stupid men.”
The contempt from the hussar think tank made the surrounding knights very embarrassed.
Well, as the mixed descendants of mountain people and barbarians, the Xiko Winged Cavalry inherited the bravery and strength of both sides, but wisdom never seemed to belong to them, and they didn't feel they needed those things..
Just like the brain！
It’s not that they don’t have it, they’re just too lazy to use it, so they maintain a high quality of 90% new, and are extremely smooth enough to ensure that any knowledge can slide smoothly from the surface of the brain without leaving a trace of wisdom..
“Mount up! Prepare to charge！”
The embarrassed Eagle Knight cannot be angry with his wife, not only because she is still pregnant with their first child, but also because he is a good man who respects his wife.
Well, of course it has a little to do with the fact that he probably won't be able to defeat him if he really takes action..
Mrs. Sunny is a genius among the Xi Ke Hussars..
Her martial arts and riding skills were personally taught by the previous Earl of Siko and cavalry commander. As a forest priest inherited by the mountain people, Mrs. Sunny can also use some ancient natural psychic combat skills, which makes her what she is today. The best of the remaining hussars.
However, a smart woman would never embarrass her man in front of outsiders, so Mrs. Sunny quickly got on her horse and pulled down the helmet mask to cover her face..
Knight Valander patted his horse and said "Cold Wind"”.
He stepped on the stirrups and turned over to mount, and then received the lance he was good at from his knight apprentice. Because his height reached an exaggerated 2.5 meters, Wallander's lance was still three meters long, but he was still used by him. Hold it in your hand like a stick.
Standard hussars not only have lances for charging, they also keep a long sword for slashing on their backs and two armor-piercing hammers in their horse pockets. After the reforms of the previous hussars commander, they were originally used as The long-range armor-piercing crossbow has also been replaced by a more practical short-barreled bombardment gun..
When performing special missions, such as using 500 knights to attack 20,000 gnolls tonight, a terrifying tactic that seeks death, they will also place some additional alchemical bombs in their horse pockets for killing and retreat cover during the reunion..
So many weapons have to be carried by war horses, and the war horses themselves are also heavily armored. This is enough to prove that these winged cavalry horses only look like horses.
Inside they are almost something else entirely.
In the ancient legends of the mountain people, the source of these war horses called "Shadow Mane" is said to come from the elves of the Castile Peninsula. In those legends whose authenticity is doubtful, these war horses were adopted by the elven druids. Tamed in a special way specifically for the elf rangers to ride on.
It was just a beautiful encounter that they fell into the hands of the mountain people..
But this does not prevent hundreds of years later, because of the existence of the shadow-maned war horse with super endurance and load-bearing capacity, the terrifying unit of Xiko Winged Cavalry was born..
“Move forward slowly! Charge preparation！”
Knight Valander gave orders in a loud voice.
He urged the majestic companion on his crotch to let it stroll forward. The other knights also took off their camouflage in the night and followed the commander in a row, slowly accelerating forward..
The silver-gray plate armor of the hussars reflected a strange light under the purple light of the Astral Creation, as if they were covered with a dark cloak..
They followed the advance of the large group very silently. The 500 heavily armored knights advanced at their own pace under the leadership of 20 captains who acted as guides in front..
They have to prepare their formation before the wall charge is fully launched, and their horses also need some time to "warm up", passing nearly a kilometer of road from cantering to sprinting, and then entering the three stages of acceleration with full impact..
This is also the only shortcoming of the Shadowmane Warhorse..
Their own weight makes it difficult for them to activate instantly like the Witch Hunter's Demon Hunting Horse. It takes them a while to really charge up, but please believe that once they fully charge up, this continent can stop them. There are very few things.
For at least the past three hundred years, the "collision tests" between the Xiko Hussars and countless enemies have been carried out until now. The Hussars still proudly maintain a record of complete victory..
Of course, this is limited to face-to-face warriors charging and fighting. For the pioneering legion, they were afraid of their impact and used the pathetic psychic plague like cowards, stealing victory from these brave heavy cavalry. That happened two years ago. Another bad story.
Even though two years have passed, whenever I think of the scene when the hussars who were known as "Never Retreat" were defeated on the day of the fall of Xiko City, the Wallander Knights, who are the sharp targets of the charge, will still surge up. ashamed.
He knew that the memory of shame would accompany him throughout his life, and he could also be sure that this shame would also affect the hearts of all the brothers and sisters who were following him at this time..
That was the first time they escaped from the battlefield before the battle was over！
Even if it was the last order of the old count.
Between battle and duty, they chose duty, but at the same time they also became the cowards they despised the most..
After they lost their city and retreated into the mountains and forests, they still fought the invaders on their own land for two years. In addition to being unwilling to give up their hometown, I'm afraid there was also the element of shame. Take effect.
Everyone kept silent about what happened that day, as if it had become a taboo for this last wing cavalry..
This includes Wallander himself and his wise and powerful wife..
But there's no escaping those things！
Especially when they face war again, a responsibility they must shoulder, the torture from the past is undoubtedly a kind of torturous pressure..
If not properly adjusted, this pressure will turn into anxiety and ultimately resistance and fear..
