Chapter 156 The Watcher and the Poison Blade.
After receiving the message from the Dragon Prince Judith that Tyrion had mounted the war horse that no one could tame, Imrik nodded to express his understanding.
Looking at the sky in the distance that seemed to be getting darker gradually, I thought to myself for a while.
I don’t know who the Witch King will send to snipe me, and I’m looking forward to the appearance of a suitable fool.
.........
The war came as promised. The war with a total number of more than 300,000 people did not start with a deadly battle. Both sides would first conduct a period of reconnaissance and search to find the enemy's weak points, and then take the opportunity to launch an attack.
Eltharion was doing this. Because of the scarcity of Yrysian cavalry, Imric specially divided two hundred men from Saffre's silver-helmet knights into his command to cooperate with him on the left wing. of combat.
The watchman on the war horse is leading a team of hundreds of knights to patrol the hills on the left side of Fennoir Plain. He did not choose to ride the Storm Wing. This operation was only to detect and intercept the enemy's scouts. If he rode Instead, the gryphon will reveal its whereabouts.
"Prince, there is a Druchi army approaching, it should be the vanguard." Knight Yris next to him said what he found.
The Watcher thought about it and realized that it was not difficult to annihilate these vanguards. He still had great confidence in his own strength, not to mention that the newly acquired weapon in his waist greatly increased his strength.
"Destroy them."
Following Eltharion's order, everyone raised their lances. These silver-helmeted knights may not have the martial arts and brave fighting will of the Dragon Prince, but a hundred years of training have still made them the heroes of Ulthuan. The backbone of the cavalry.
The watchmen who were charging forward saw the vanguard force, which consisted of more than 200 people. It seemed that they planned to explore the situation here first and then set up camp and wait for the troops from behind to arrive.
After seeing the blue and white steel team in the distance, Druzi's commander immediately asked everyone to prepare for battle. The plains made the field of vision extremely wide, and the hard land also caused the sound of hooves when the horses were running to be transmitted far away.
Hundreds of fearful spearmen raised their shields and spears. They had resisted the impact of these fancy cavalry countless times, and then thrust their spears into the throats of these arrogant Assurs. Produced by Hagrid Ge Leif's excellent black armor can provide effective protection, and the spear in his hand can also pierce those useless Ysrama silver armors.
After the watchers saw those Druzi starting to form a formation, they did not choose to let the silver helmet knights stop. Instead, they raised the magic sword and the eye of the storm began to condense the magical wind in it. Invisible winds began to flow in It was wrapped around it, and the runes on the sword shone with cyan light.
A shock wave composed of a hurricane was released under Elsarion's sword. The roaring wind carried huge power and impacted on the Druchi. Although it did not cause much damage, it was enough to disperse their formation. This is the heavenly magic storm technique.
Under the magic of Elsharion, the defensive formation that Druzi quickly formed dissipated in an instant. The Silver Helmet Knight naturally would not miss this opportunity. The lance made of the trees produced in Avalon will never be broken. Stabbing the Druchi soldiers who tried to stand up after falling to the ground.
The trampling of the war horse and the attack of the rider soon made him disappear from this world forever.
But Drucci did not panic. After being attacked, a second line of defense was formed immediately. Those with swords and spears were fighting with the silver-helmeted knights. The smaller number of knights was vaguely surrounded. Propensity. Elsarion swung out the eye of the storm, and the sword blade did not rub the Druchi's neck, but a head had already fallen into the position of the resisting Druchi with blood dripping.
A Druchi on a war horse wanted to sneak attack the somewhat out-of-touch Prince Yris, and raised his sword flat behind his back, as if he was about to pierce his heart immediately.
But the watcher didn't look back and swung the Carmen spear in his left hand in an arc toward the back. This weapon given by a friend could guide the wind of magic while maintaining the function of the spear itself - fast and deadly.
Druchi, who made a sneak attack, was hit in the neck by a spear, and his eyes were still open before he died. He never expected that Asul's martial arts would be so terrifying, even in an extremely noisy and chaotic environment like the battlefield. Accurately judge attacks from the rear.
After a successful close contact, the two sides started a hand-to-hand fight. As a low-level or middle-level noble of Ulthuan, the Silver Helmet Knight had received various military training since he was a child. Even if he used a lance in a zero-distance contact battle, he would still be able to use a lance. Extremely deadly, and these people have been sent to Caledor Rest for training and equipment replacement in the past two years. As well as Eltharion killing the enemy commander in one fell swoop and receiving spell support from time to time, it didn't take too long. Time will take care of this vanguard army.
As he used the eye of the storm to cut down the last Druzi soldier who was still resisting tenaciously, Elsarion did not look as happy as the others, but instead frowned.
The strength of this vanguard army was much weaker than he imagined. Even though he had not actually participated in the war between Asur and Druchi, his years of study had taught him what kind of combat effectiveness Druchi should have. , is this just a cannon fodder unit that wants to attract the attention of the Asul coalition and focus its attention here? Just as he was thinking about this encounter, a voice interrupted his thoughts. The silver-helmeted knight's voice
sounded very urgent, "Prince, there is a Druchi cavalry approaching on the left!"
Forcibly interrupting the restless mind, he looked at the place where the voice said. Sure enough, there was a hundred-man level cavalry approaching, but it was not a cold lizard troop. However, the sophisticated equipment and orderly formation showed that this troop was not Like the Dark Rider, he will only be responsible for reconnaissance and harassment.
They were galloping in on all-black war horses. The fangs exposed from the lips of those war horses and the spikes appearing on their bodies all showed that they were deeply affected by chaotic energy.
The watcher used magic to enhance some of his vision. He looked carefully at the strange Druchi cavalry, and a somewhat familiar face appeared in his eyes.
Italis!
He knew this famous former Itaean noble, and even learned a few tricks from Italis when he was invited to Lothern by Tyrion and Teclis.
Hold the Eye of the Storm tightly in your hands, this guy's head will be a glorious trophy, and the friendship between Yris and Caledor will be stronger.
"Everyone turn left and prepare to charge." The
watchman's tone was cold, but the silver-helmeted knights who knew his character well knew his determination. They picked up their lances and started to charge head-on with the enemy on the plain.
