Chapter 296: The Mainland’s First Capture of the Flag (Part 1)
A’dal suddenly put down his telescope, his whole face flushed with excitement. He forced himself to take a deep breath and think calmly, then turned his head and yelled at the messenger.
"Send out our cavalry! Send out the [Ad Fein Division]! We must keep all the enemies here today!"
-
The strong wind blew in the face, and the Three Lions flag roared fiercely overhead.
Under the flag, the Lion of Sintra is at the forefront of the procession, galloping on horseback.
Black Wind was at least a head taller than the horse beside him, which allowed everyone in the cavalry team to see Lann's back and his griffon cloak flying in the air.
He seemed to have turned himself into a flag at this moment.
There were no other Cintra people around Lann. Instead, he was surrounded by the cavalry of Livia, Lyria and the Aedirian troops. Heilela was closest to Lan, and until now she couldn't believe that she was involved in such a crazy plan.
Between the horses' hooves and the flying dust, she began to recall the plan Lan En had originally proposed in the tent - ... the
two
armies faced off, penetrating the enemy's camp head-on and then killing the generals and capturing the flag was the simplest, according to Lan En's perception. The most direct and effective tactic. However, considering the huge gap in strength between the enemy and ourselves, Lann was worried that the coalition forces would be defeated before he could break into the enemy camp.
And considering the acceptance capabilities of Queen Miwe and Demavi III, Lann still planned to use a more clever method-teleportation combat.
This [Teleport] is not Lan's own system skill's [Teleport]. Since Lan has never been to Livia and set up a teleport point, he cannot use the system's long-distance jump function.
This [Teleportation] refers to the Warlock's [Teleportation Gate] magic.
But this raises a new problem: the warlock cannot know the detailed location of the enemy general. Magical reconnaissance to determine the enemy's position is not feasible, because Nilfgaard's camp must be equipped with warlock troops, and will be prepared for these methods, and may even counterattack.
Therefore, we can only use relatively dangerous methods: sending harassment troops and conducting low-intensity confrontations to cause the black army to enter combat status, so that the Nilfgaardians can put up the largest flag to boost morale. ——This flag would be deliberately hidden by Adal in normal times. After all, who would put the general's position so conspicuously when setting up camp?
The handsome flag raised is the location of the portal.
In order to avoid an early general attack, the armies of Demavi and Miwe should properly lag behind the harassing troops in front, wait for the right time for the Nilfgaardians to completely riot, and then charge with the whole army to obtain the greatest results and strive to defeat the Nilfgaardians in one go. Forgaard.
This means that the harassing troops separated from the main army are actually "baits" to a certain extent. Moreover, it must be a bait of sufficient weight that can survive the initial temptation of the Nilfgaardians and can induce the Nilfgaardian military camp to completely move.
So Rann joined in and put up his own Three Lions flag. Miwe and Demavi sent their most elite warriors to Lann as support.
This is the rough plan for this battle.
...
Hereira swallowed. She knew that Duke Lannister had the ability of a warlock to return to camp at any time, but others did not. Maybe today is the time to be loyal to the king.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and a cavalry unit was seen leaving Nilfgaard's camp and galloping towards the Three Lions flag. From their angle, they could already see the appearance of the enemy. The silver sun flag fluttering in the wind made Heileila's face turn pale.
Lan En was overjoyed.
With such a special flag, it is naturally not an ordinary army. This is the [Ad Fein Division], which means "Great Sun" in ancient languages. It was originally affiliated with the Nilfgaardian Third Army. It is now sent to support the infantry-based Eastern Group Army to jointly fight against Aedirn and Mi. Wei.
This is one of Nilfgaard's heavy cavalry units. In the future, they will join several other Nilfgaardian cavalry units to make Mahakam's heavy infantry famous.
But before suffering that big defeat, Ad Fein's division had always been one of the aces of the Black Army.
The number of cavalry in front of them was not large, only about 2,000, and the Third Army probably only sent part of Ad Fein's division as support. But even this made the soldiers behind Lan start to look pale.
Their loyalty kept their bodies strong, but the fear still rose. It was this team that destroyed the combined forces of Aedirn and Lyria a few days ago!
More importantly, they had already mastered Nilfgaard's intelligence and knew that there were four more similar cavalry units under Nilfgaard's third legion!
From here we can see how rich Nilfgaard's family background is. At this moment, only Lan among the harassing team was getting excited. It would be a good choice to annihilate part of the heavy cavalry here first.
Before the Mahakam heavy infantry is born, it's up to you to try the strength of these guys first!
...
Seemingly sensing the fear of the soldiers around him, Lan sighed slightly in his heart. Suddenly I regretted not taking House with me, otherwise it would be nice to have this guy shout something to boost morale at this moment. This is his specialty.
"Livians, Lyrians, Aedirnians -" they can only come by themselves.
Even though the horses' hooves on the battlefield were deafening, the lion's roar still accurately reached everyone's ears. Very brief and very powerful.
"These are the troops that drank the blood of your comrades not long ago. They are also the butchers who are killing your compatriots and destroying your homes!" From
this distance, we can already see the fall of the capital city of Livia not far away. The Livia people in the team His eyes started to turn red first.
Lan turned his left hand, and several alchemy glass bottles appeared in his hand. The various potions inside gave off different glimmers.
Although Jeron had prepared a complete set of magic potions and most decoctions for Lann, Lann had never needed the blessing of these external objects in his battles. But this time it was different. This was a serious confrontation with a complete army as the main force. Lann needed to be mentally alert.
"Now, your king and your queen have given you the heaviest mission. It will be recorded in subsequent history books: It was your sword that cut off the Nilfgaardians' path and started the war. The turning point; it was their screams under your swords that kicked off the defeat of Nilfgaard, making the Southern Army's ambition to go north empty talk - this will be an epic comparable to the Battle of Sodden Mountain." Pull out your right hand
. The Sword of the Lady of the Lake, Lann seemed to be holding a torch in his hand. Too lazy to bite open the wax seals, arcs of light streaked through the air, and Lan swung his sword to cut off all the necks of these alchemical glass bottles.
"And there is only one thing you have to do now - follow me closely." Lann roared, "I will take the lead in the charge!" He raised his head and poured
various potions and decoctions into his throat. Even if an ordinary demon hunter has superhuman poison resistance, such a dose would be enough to kill him. Only the poison resistance brought by Lann's [Magic Potion] skills can allow his body to quickly digest the effects of these potions.
[Higher Maboli Forest]: Increases the adrenaline regeneration speed.
[Advanced Petri Potion]: Increase the strength of the seal, extend the duration of the seal, and increase the chance of the special effects of the seal appearing.
[Advanced Swallow Potion]: Continuously restores injuries.
[Hekena Decoction]: After releasing the magic power, the body's injuries will be restored.
[Ancient Deer Head Essence Decoction]: Each time the seal is released, the corresponding magic power recovery speed will be increased.
In addition to the above-mentioned potions, there were also the conventional [Higher Thunder] to increase physical strength, and [Higher Owl] to speed up the recovery of magic power. Lann also drank it together.
Lann suddenly felt his heart beating like a drum. He knew without looking that the veins on his forehead and around his eyes were protruding, and his face was as pale as a ghost.
He sighed secretly in his heart, but it was a pity that he didn't activate the [Addiction] skill in the second mutation, otherwise Lan felt that he could challenge the high-level vampires alone.
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and no other sounds could be heard at this moment.
The enemy's footsteps are getting closer and closer, and there is no other choice at this moment!
"Black Wind." Lan En slapped his old friend, "Charge!" The
black horse neighed loudly with excitement, and the suppressed wildness was completely released. In an instant, it turned into a gust of wind and carried Lan En across the Three Lions flag and beyond. He gathered all the knights and led the way to the front of the team!
You can already see the enemy's face. It's the face that the people of Sintra want to chop into pieces!
Lan suddenly raised his left hand, pouring a massive amount of magic power into it -
[Igni Sign·Pyromania·Magic Explosion]!
A wall made of flames suddenly unfolded in front of the Nilfgaardians, shrouding the hundreds of heavy cavalry at the front of the team without warning. All the men and horses turned into torches, roaring like hell in pain.
This is a flame that can ignite even steel!
This tragic situation made the cavalry behind them stunned for a moment. The flames burned his skin, but the black-clad army only felt terrified in his heart. The death of the soldiers in the front section was just a trivial matter. What was really bad was that the horses were frightened!
The orderly forward team suddenly became chaotic. The high-speed horses collided, bit, and trampled each other. The high temperature and burning pain made them unable to distinguish between friend and foe. At that moment, no one knew how many horses fell to the ground and turned into corpses. Roadblocks, how many cavalrymen were tripped and thrown out of the air, and then trampled into pulp.
For heavy cavalry, this was fatal. Their charge should have been the enemy's death horn, but now it became their own death talisman in the chaos.
And what about their enemies?
Lan flipped his left hand, took out a huge lance from the [Inventory], and drove directly into the middle of the Nilfgaardians with terrifying power.
The lance made of Taomu exploded into a shower of flowers with a huge impact as soon as it hit the heavy cavalry; Lan's opponent's breastplate shattered in response, and blood and flesh spattered, as if he had been hit. The giant's head-on strike was mixed into the rain of shattered lances.
Lan En's body didn't even tremble, and Hei Feng's steps became even faster.
He casually threw the handle of the gun aside and knocked an unlucky guy off his horse and trampled him into a pulp. Lann quickly took out another lance, and then started over and over again -
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"!
Muffled sounds like the shattering of alchemy bombs echoed one after another in the Nilfgaardian formation. Lann forcibly crushed a flesh-and-blood passage in the heavy cavalry formation!
At the same time, the coalition forces of the two countries behind him also began to formally engage in close combat.
Nilfgaard's heavy cavalry had lost momentum, but what about their enemies? The war horses under their crotches were at the peak of their strength.
The crackling of lances became more frequent, louder, and more musical.
Lan threw away another broken gun handle in his hand, and began to think about whether he should ask the dwarves of Mahakam to make him a full-metal lance, or even more simply, get a key axe, gun, and hook. A spear, a knife, or even a halberd?
The demon hunter's sword is really not suitable for immediate combat.
However, the charge operation could come to an end at this moment. He had already built up momentum, and the morale of both the enemy and ourselves had reached a satisfactory level. Lann estimated the distance between himself and the enemy's Silver Sun Flag Sword, and it was enough to use the skill.
He patted Heifeng who was stepping down and said, "You can play for a while by yourself. Pay attention to safety."
Heifeng stepped on the chest of a fallen heavy cavalry into the back, then tilted his neck and crushed the enemy's horse's head. . After finishing the work, he snorted, as if urging Lan to walk quickly and lighten his load.
Lann chuckled, and his body was enveloped in bright emerald light.
【flash】!
The next second, Lann's eyes were suddenly covered by thick chaotic energy. When his vision became clear again, a face with a black winged helmet appeared in front of him.
And Lann was stepping on the head of the opponent's horse. Under the influence of the time delay attached to the skill, Lann could clearly see the lines on the opponent's face extending bit by bit in the direction of panic.
This is the flag officer of Ad Fein's division.
The sword of the Lake Lady, as bright as a torch in the dark night, drew an arc of astonishing length and passed away in a flash. Then a "click" sound was heard, and the flag officer's mount, body, and flagpole behind the flag officer, At this moment it breaks into two sections.
Accompanied by the sound of "crash" in the wind, the Silver Sun flag was unfolded for the last time, knocking down several unlucky cavalry, and being trampled deeply into the soil by the unstoppable hooves of the horses.
"Lan Lannister Leanne!"
He faintly heard a voice shouting. Lan looked around and saw a man wearing an officer's high-grade armor, who should be the commander of the cavalry. Lann's appearance, armor, weapons, etc. are so iconic, and the Nilfgaardian officers on the front line must have a list of enemies they "must recognize".
Immediately, I saw that all the Nilfgaardians, centered on the cavalry command, turned and rushed towards Rann. This was not easy for the charging heavy cavalry, which shows the quality of Ad Fein's division. high.
It's a pity that Lann appeared too suddenly, and the time at which the troops were at hand-to-hand contact at the front was too short. There was no information transmitted at all when the cavalry charged, so the Nilfgaardian commander and the cavalry around him could only see faintly. In the light of the fire, I had no idea what was happening ahead.
They'll find out soon enough.
And Lann, who had personally experienced the joy of killing a general and capturing the flag, was also satisfied. He was behind the enemy now, and he didn't have to worry about accidental injuries without teammates around him.
He turned around and stopped slashing with his sword. He ignored the heavy cavalry that was rushing towards him like a chariot and just slapped the ground with his left hand.
The magic power plunged down a large level in an instant, but then rose back up at the same speed under the influence of the potion.
[Alder Sign·Alder Sweep·Bearing·Magic Explosion]!
The soldiers who came from the warm south saw the cold of the north for the first time. This was the first and last time.
