The Birren Hill began to slow down.
A knight riding a tall black horse appeared on the unprotected deck of the battleship. He raised his hand and pointed towards the surging waves below, and hoarfrost and ice spread to the deck and hull. The sea surface was freezing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The fluctuating sea water turned into solid ice, thrusting towards the coast like a sharp blade, presenting him with an icy road leading to the enemy's throat.
The sailors of the Brunhil retreated in panic, looking at the unnatural scene in front of them in disbelief, wondering if they had drunk too much rum and were still sleeping.
The knight turned back and said to the cavalry team behind him: "The target is Naila von Kuimantha, a young man with silver hair. Look for his family crest and find him."
The cavalrymen took the order in unison, and Gilles de Ace, who led them, asked: "Captain, are you sure you want to attack them alone? There are many enemies."
The knight raised the corners of his mouth slightly under the shadow of his visor:
"That's just right. My bloodthorn is hungry."
The knight rode the black horse on his crotch and jumped down, making a loud sound on the frozen sea that went straight into the heart, hitting the hearts of the people of Odessa hard. He held the reins in his hand, shouldered the lance filled with blood and purple smoke, and rode across the frosty road toward the shore. His riding skills are extremely skillful, and he also displays an unshakable leisurely quality in his assault. It seems that he is just here to hunt, and his prey is the wizards present.
The moment they saw this figure, the hearts of all Odessa people trembled with the low whine of the waves. They rushed the carriage out of the bunker and rushed towards the road.
Neferti was also brought into the carriage. She didn't know where her brother was sent in the chaos. She was protected by several people and got into a carriage. She lay on the glass and looked around with her eyes exposed. She saw the surging sea under the clouds, the frozen ice road and the black knight.
She found this scene beautiful for no reason. The withering chill contained the aura of destroying everything, which made her both fearful and yearning. Neferti even had a vague feeling that the rushing knight had a familiar aura that she could not escape.
A group of cavalry wearing only breastplates also jumped from the deck one after another, followed behind the knights, stepped across the frozen ice and rushed to the shore.
"This...how can his spiritual energy be so powerful? Could that battleship be for him..."
Professor Lafayette did not expect this scene to appear. Not long before their convoy left the military camp, the knights had already landed on the coast, followed closely by the armored cavalry.
"Don't be afraid!" the professor cheered up and shouted, "Evacuate at full speed. The terrain on the shore is complicated and they won't be able to get through in a short time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first three armored cavalrymen who landed had already formed a cone-like formation behind the knight. Unlike regular cavalry, they do not carry lances, but instead carry rare heavy muskets and enchanted bows. The leading knight suddenly accelerated and turned into a streak of bloody lightning that separated from his men, passed through layers of obstacles, and roared with the strong wind.
The wizards of Odessa fell into a panic at this sight.
"Why so fast!"
"The leading knight is approaching at three times the speed of the subsequent team!"
"How is this possible in the ruins! Is this something a human can do?"
The knight did not attack the convoy directly, but used the cover of terrain and buildings to approach, and soon disappeared from sight. The people of Odessa could feel death and destruction coming, but they didn't know where it was coming from.
The extremely nervous Odessa wizards suddenly lost their target. They searched confusedly, but the enemy disappeared like a reflection in the water...
"Where is the knight?"
"I can't find a trace of his existence."
Now that Beyelan's attack has arrived, hiding has lost its meaning. After just joining the garrison, Odessa's wizards had no shortage of troops.
"It's gone? Why is it missing? Haven't you already deployed detection methods in this area!" Professor Julian decided that he could not delay any longer and gave an order loudly, "Deploy a wheel-shaped mobile defense array on open terrain! Direct cover The cavalry comes forward! Don’t delay our team and evacuate immediately!”
After giving the order, the extraordinary wizard began to charge and activate the offensive and defensive accessories, talismans and scrolls he carried with him. Others are doing similar things. They are scholars and experienced wizards, and they have participated in many battles. All wizards and extraordinary people were making preparations silently, just like the plan.
During the battle in Odessa, five extraordinary beings led by Seydlitz died one after another in a short battle. It is extremely rare for such a dense group of high-ranking strong men to die in battle. The subsequent investigation found that they strictly abided by the battle regulations and made full preparations. They were on high alert in the center and rear of the solid infantry formation, and there were many others around them. Extraordinary guard.
However, so many extraordinary beings could not find the enemies who attacked them. They were torn out of the formation and destroyed, and died faster than the collapse of the infantry phalanx.
The wheel-shaped mobile defensive formation is a tactical formation used in open field maneuvers that was popularized after the Odessa incident, and it is not the first of its kind. A long time ago, in order to protect important but relatively fragile casters, command groups, and supplies, marching queues would choose to deploy their forces in large-scale vigilance and multi-layered attack formations in high-speed operations. The deployed troops are like the rings of a tree, and high-efficiency defense is achieved through the rapid maneuvering of troops at each level.
The outermost layer of the wheel-shaped mobile defense is a dozen light cavalry in groups of two. They were deployed within a radius of several kilometers outside the brigade and constantly maneuvered. After discovering the enemy, they did not need to engage in combat but shot arrows enchanted with flash into the air to warn the brigade headquarters.
In the middle circle are several elite cavalry wandering in squads. They are called "direct cavalry" and are led by extraordinary people. They will intercept the enemy as soon as possible, blocking or delaying them from entering the formation. Speed and reaction are the key to direct cover cavalry warfare operations. If the gap cannot be blocked in time, the enemy will penetrate right into the core of the marching column.
In the innermost circle are the important personnel and materials under protection, the high-level wizards who are responsible for battlefield communication control and command, and the Extraordinary team that serves as the core combat force. These powerful wizards have extraordinary perceptive abilities and can use their familiars patrolling at high altitudes or atmospheric mirrors to examine the battlefield and issue targeted orders.
The wizards of Odessa had only five carriages when they left Medini, but the light cavalry and direct cover cavalry had already been deployed in the military camp. After they merged with the convoy, they headed northeast quickly. The cavalry was scattered around, opening a huge reconnaissance and warning network. As soon as Beyelan's cavalry landed, several teams of fine cavalry rode out and rushed towards the suspicious direction.
Professor Lafayette glanced uneasily at the attacking cavalry: "The aura of this knight is strange and terrifying. Which knight of His Majesty is he, or is he the incarnation of some shadow?"
Professor Julian was also worried. The headmaster of Metini is one of the few demigod spellcasters in the world. However, throughout the entire plan, he remained noncommittal, neither interfering nor providing support.
If a big shot like him takes action, it should be easy to destroy the Beyelan troops in front of him.
"Target found."
A report suddenly came from a group of direct-covering cavalry: "We found him! At 8 o'clock, the speed is amazing. He is not invisible and can be seen visually, coming towards us! Three other cavalry are approaching from behind him."
"There is no invisibility..." Professor Julian was stunned for a moment, "Go up to him, don't be reluctant to fight, just interfere with him!"
The cavalry squad leader received the order and took out the enchanted bow from the saddle: "Aim at the knight and shoot them into a sieve!"
"Oh~ The response is very fast. You are worthy of being the elite of Odessa." The knight who was leading the way tapped his dark golden helmet lightly and scanned the psychic signal in front of him. He left his men behind, and the black horse galloped between heaven and earth, like a refraction across the sky.
"Psychic energy ripples from three death pathways have been detected, and the sealed object is being activated." Before contact was made, Minos had already passed on the warning.
The knight didn't answer and quickly moved toward the side and rear of the convoy. He didn't have the slightest idea of stopping, and activated his other magic ring while making a high-speed detour.
The high-level sealed artifact "Kazni's Miracle" captured from Odessa's extraordinary wizard Seydlitz has been activated by his spiritual power.
"Alatas, recreate the miracle of the Khazni Temple for me!"
Six weapons - long sword, throwing spear, halberd, battle axe, war hammer and flail - appeared in sequence, like six comets shining and taking shape. They are hanging in mid-air, and each one is a sacred vessel or sealed object that has left its mark and name in the world.
Soon, they returned to the Ring like stars.
Kazni's miracle has been activated.
The Lord of the Rings summons the breath and soul of ancient weapons, and then uses a large amount of spiritual energy to create the almost illusory form of the mysterious weapon.
The knight's psychic powers are far less powerful than the mysterious lord of Sequence 5. What he can summon each time is only the spiritual projection of a weapon in reality, and the duration is also measured in seconds. Each weapon has its own characteristics, and you need to wait an hour after using it before it can manifest again.
But even this is enough!
A strange throwing spear appeared in his hand - the ancient sealed item "Zircon". This throwing weapon has no stable shape. When it is held in the hand, it is like a flashing arc of light. It keeps buzzing and trembling, and it is about to be let go at any time. It is the weapon used by ancient heroes to fight against dragons. It can fly through the sky and penetrate dragon scales.
Once thrown, Zircon will be attracted to the target's psychic energy. The stronger the target, the more amazing its accuracy and lethality.
This is one of the most powerful throwing weapons he has mastered, specially prepared for the enemy's Extraordinary commanders.
"Then let you see my power!" The knight raised his spear and used the speed of his horse to point directly at the incoming Odessa cavalry captain.
"This position?" The captain of the Odessa team looked at the enemy and saw the enemy raising his gun. "Are you kidding? It's still three times beyond the normal range!"
"Boom!" There was a sudden explosion in the sky, and the cavalrymen who were galloping on their horses and the wizards who were running nervously couldn't help but look up.
Neferti also looked out of the car window. She saw a crimson arc of light, flying high across the sky and falling straight down. The strong men of Odessa on nearby carriages exclaimed:
"what is that!?"
"Lightning?"
"Could it be sky fire!"
The red arc flashed across an unimaginable distance. Amidst the incredible screams, the Extraordinary team leader led by the Hidden Cavalry first sensed the danger of piercing the bone marrow and almost tearing apart the soul. He immediately searched from a horizontal perspective and found nothing. . He immediately realized that it might be a projectile long-range weapon, and when he looked up, he still didn't find it. Only when he was enveloped by the chill of despair and the scream of falling did he find an arc of light falling in the direction of the dome.
The arc light penetrated his breastplate and penetrated directly from the back because the penetrating power was too strong. The squad leader fell off his horse, and before he hit the ground, his chest was already shattered into droplets.
"Ah——! Captain, the captain has been killed!"
There was an incredible commotion immediately in front of the cavalry. They watched as the commander who was already a Sequence 7 fell off his horse and split open.
"How did it hit?!"
"Is the enemy's distance from us more than three times the range of the Beyonders?"
The direct cover cavalry immediately caused an incredible commotion. Their enemies were still far away, making it impossible to understand what means they used to attack.
They shouted in the echo crystal, but they were already far away from the communication guarantee distance of the convoy. The noisy noise had blocked their calls, and no instructions came from the direction of the convoy headquarters. Before they could make any actual response, there was another heart-rending and terrifying explosion in the sky.
This time, Griffith embodied a silver halberd. He and the enemy cavalry were confronting each other head-on. The distance between the two sides was shrinking rapidly, and they were already within the throwing distance of the halberd.
The silver halberd showed an electric silver color in his hand. It was as slender as an arrow shot from a long bow. It came out with a roar, then accelerated upwards with an incredible trajectory, and then dived downwards. As it approached the ground, the beam was already as fast as lightning. It swept down from mid-air and attacked from the side. The cavalrymen who were charging were completely unprepared, and two more cavalrymen were stabbed and rolled off their horses on the spot.
"All assault!" The remaining Odessa cavalry collectively gave up on mounted shooting and drew their sabers and shouted in despair, "Charge over and fight him in close combat!"
"Very decisive." Griffith turned the horse's head to avoid the impact of the assaulting cavalry team. He pulled it sideways and took out the blood thorns that were already waiting for him in the gun bag, "but it was of no use."
"Gil, the long-range support is left to you!" He accelerated his horse and rushed towards the center of the enemy's vehicle formation to launch an assault.
"Captain, follow the order!" The assault team leader who was following him from a distance had already led people back to the flank of the Odessa cavalry team. He looked at the retreating commander and the enemy in front with unquestionable trust. Then he said to his companions, "Dismount and snipe, don't get in the way of the captain."
The two cavalrymen following him immediately dismounted. They took off their heavy muskets and longbows from their saddles and fired a volley at the hussars passing in front. As three explosions were heard, the knights of Odessa neighed. The three cavalrymen were shot over immediately, disrupting the impact of the riders behind them.
