Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 730 The Knight's Mission

"The lines of the Second Legion have collapsed!"

Azike thumped in his heart, and all the senior generals of the Amasir army beside him got up immediately after hearing this.

"The Thunder Lion Army's front line collapsed? Didn't they meet with far fewer Ao San Emma people than us? Why did they collapse first?"

"Nora, it's really a wrong choice to hand over the flanks to unreliable allies. If we knew about it, we would send some people to take over their positions!"

"Don't be funny, we're too busy ourselves—how many people are left in your unit? Franklin?"

"Me? Damn it, my people are always at the front, and the reserves are almost empty..."

All of a sudden, there was an uproar in the barracks.For the main barracks, which has been under high tension, such chaos is unimaginable.

But this is precisely the embodiment of the seriousness of the situation.

Azike paced back and forth for a few steps, his head ached from the noise of the high-ranking generals in the audience, his brows were furrowed, and he suddenly shouted: "Quiet!"

Suddenly, the entire barracks fell silent.

"Memphela." Atzke glanced across the crowd, and then began to count people from among them.

"exist."

"How many arrow reserves do our archers have? How many people have enough physical strength?"

"After the battle on the front line, the archers didn't take part in the battle too much." Meng Feila replied, "The large army was on standby to attack the Earth Dragon Legion, but the Earth Dragon didn't charge for a long time... The physical strength of the archers It should be quite abundant, and the reserves of magic potions and arrows are also quite sufficient."

"Remove half of the people and go to the south to garrison, beware of the Ao San Emma rushing from the south. Ask the scouts to block the entire south. I want to know how many people they have, what kind of military configuration they have, and why they defeated the Second Army in one fell swoop. of."

"understand!"

Meng Feila didn't say much, turned around and ran out of the tent quickly.A silver deer leapt to her body, carried her quickly to the camp where the archers were stationed.

"Su Geer." Atzke did not stop his order, and continued to point out orders - in the entire Amathir army, even Cyril may not have the right to speak in front of him, let alone others Professional level or others.

The professional-level mage immediately stepped forward, and before Atzke could speak, he said, "I know, my task is to lead the mage to the south to consolidate the position, isn't it?"

"Zimmerman will go with you, and if that's not enough, Haber will also go with him." Atzke took a deep breath, "I think there are two professional-level mages here, which should ensure that the position will not be destroyed. Is it easy to attack and break?"

"Put it on me." Su Geer nodded, and then walked out of the barracks.

"Besides that..." Azike glanced at the crowd again, finally raised his head, and said calmly, "Who is willing to lead the troops to garrison the south?"

None of the generals showed timidity on their faces, and almost all of them wanted to take a step forward to accept this task, but Atsk's words that followed made most of them stop.

"Preconditions, one, professional level, two, I will only give you 500 people-this is the most troops we can draw."

500 people, the number of enemy troops is unknown, and the configuration of arms is unknown, and most of the 500 people are not as elite as the Pansen Shield Guards—if the Austrian Saint Emma troops from the south outflanked With the existence of the Earth Dragon Legion, there is almost no difference between the 500 people and those who died.

Azike knew this clearly in his heart, but this was indeed the last force he could draw.

If these 500 people are taken away, the front line of defense will also enter a highly tense state.Without the rotation of follow-up troops, once a gap is pierced in the front, it may lead to the collapse of the whole line.

As soon as he said this sentence, most of the generals stopped.

They are not timid, but they do not meet the first, hard conditions of the professional level.

And still standing in front of everyone, there are only two former professional-level fighters of the Amasir Nature Guard Army, and Shell, who was promoted to the professional level not long ago.

The two soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay. They were about to receive the order when the female voice from Shell sounded first:
"Let me go."

Atsk's eyes fell on her.

"Amathir's Red Thunder", a cynical female mercenary, such a label was still slapped on this young lady of the Khiva family who ran away from home a year ago, but now, a year later, she is already The cornerstone of the Siliki army is the sharpest blade among them.

Azike stared at her, the corner of the latter's mouth was raised, still wearing a slightly frivolous smile, but his eyes were full of dignity.

"I'll leave it to you. Go to the rear and order 500 people to go. You can match the troops as you like." Atzke reached out and took a token, and threw it at Shell, who grabbed it, then turned around, and turned his head. He left the barracks without returning.

Everyone watched Sher's figure disappear outside the curtain door, and when they looked at Atsk again, the latter was raising his eyebrows and glaring at them unceremoniously: "What are you still doing in a daze? Go and lead the team to hold the front line Huh? Do you need me to teach you how to do it?"

The soldiers didn't dare to talk to each other, and they all lowered their heads and got out of the barracks. In the blink of an eye, the barracks was empty, leaving Atsk alone.

He turned around and bent down on the table, and drew a long blue line on the southern part of St. Hytel's northern defense line where they were stationed.

They are fighting to defend the position. The terrain built by the earth elemental mage is an important condition for them to hold on. The ravines and high walls can effectively block the advance of the Ao San Emma. If what they are defending is a mountain, then Through the high ground advantage brought by the mountain itself, their defense will undoubtedly be much easier.

It's a pity that the geographical advantage cannot be obtained at will. Even if there are a large number of earth elemental mages, it is impossible to pile up a mountain with such an exaggerated length and height.

If you have to say it, their defense is somewhat similar to the street fighting after the city wall is breached.

At this moment, the place on the map representing the first line under the city wall has been filled with red crosses representing the deaths of our soldiers.

His eyes fell on a group of troops represented by blue squares outside the front line.

That's their cavalry.

Atzke has absolute confidence in their cavalry, whether it is the Silver Blade Knights, Petrified Monitor Lizard Cavalry, Forest Guards, Amasir Cavalry, cavalry is the absolute dominant unit in Amasir, and the wide plain It is extremely suitable for cavalry training, and the abundant pasture can also supply excellent horses.

It has been nearly half a day since the battle. If it is correct, the cavalry should have fought head-on with the opponent's cavalry, and a result has been drawn.

"The remaining troops of the Austrian Saint Emma... If the Earth Dragon Legion is not counted, the actual strength is basically the same as ours. In terms of battle damage, our army is still far superior to the Austrian Saint Emma..."

"If the Silver Blade Knights still have enough combat power, poke in from this direction—"

He drew on the map with his fingers, muttering to himself constantly, then made up his mind, and took out a palm-sized magic spar from his bosom, engraved with complicated patterns on it, the moment his fingertips touched it, the whole A magic spar lit up.

This is a product from the Lurea Research Institute, an alchemy prop that is said to be able to achieve long-distance communication. The principle is to transmit information in the same fluctuating magic "channel" through the same engraved lines.

The disadvantage is that this device is not a finished product, but a test product, the effect is not stable, and it consumes a lot of magic spar.

But for Atsk, this is the best way for him to contact the Silver Blade Knights far away from the position at this time.

At the same time, on the snow field northeast of the military camp.

The snow covering the barren land had turned into puddles of mud due to the trampling of the horses. The strong war horses fell to the ground, and together with their masters, they closed their eyes forever.

Alex Slovenier reached out and grabbed a handful of dirty snow, raised his head, and wiped the snow on his face to wash off the blood on his face.

They had just finished a battle with the cavalry of Al St. Emma, ​​and the result of the battle was not optimistic.

The number of cavalry from St. Emma exceeded their imagination—God knows how those transport ships transported thousands of horses to the Adler area. The number of enemy cavalry was almost one and a half times theirs. Number disadvantage.

In such a disadvantaged situation, Alex Slovenier gave the order to divide the troops, let the forest guards and Amasir natural guard cavalry go around, and the Siliki cavalry led by the Silver Blade Knights launched the first After a wave of charge, after confronting the cavalry of Ao San Emma, ​​the forest guards launched a second wave of charge, pinching the cavalry of Ao San Emma who had no time to adjust.

The tactic was very successful, but it only erased the disadvantage of their numbers, followed by ruthless melee fighting, with people falling and horses falling constantly; La Rochelle's, O Saint-Emma Yes, the corpses fell on the ground, the ground was stained red with blood, and the battle armors were stained red, it was hard to tell who belonged to whom.

At this time, the broken Ao San Emma dragon flag was at the feet of Alex Slovenier, and the horse's hooves had trampled back and forth so that the dragon shape on it could not be seen.

The victory belongs to them in the end, but the price is extremely heavy.

Not to mention ordinary cavalry, even the knights of the Silver Blade Knights suffered a lot of casualties. These nearly one hundred rebellious nobles who followed Jane Christine to leave Solconan ten years ago and went to the frontier, can still There are less than 50 people standing completely.

Slovenier caressed his beloved horse, stopped suddenly, and took out a palm-sized magic crystal from his chest.

He held it in his hand, and after closing his eyes for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and said:

"Otillet." He called the deputy captain, and the female knight tied the bandage on her chest tightly, and stood up with difficulty, "What's the matter? The task of chasing it has been handed over to Senshu Guard."

"It's not chasing." He shook his head and said, "We have a new mission."

"A new mission?" Ottilett's eyes also fell on the magic spar, and he immediately understood, "Atzke ordered it? What does he want us to do?"

"Gather the troops, and then..." Slovenier's eyes flashed coldly, "Break into the battlefield from north to south, and then stab in from the back of Austrian Saint Emma."

The tiredness in the female deed's eyes immediately disappeared, and she waved her arms vigorously, "Then what are you waiting for?"

She whistled vigorously, and a beautiful mare in heavy silver armor ran up to her.She turned on her horse, then took out the horn and blew it vigorously:
"Woo - woo!"

On the plain, the Siliki cavalry who were healing, resting, comforting their horses, and crying all stopped their movements.

They listened attentively to the sound of the horn, then got on their horses one after another, and gathered towards the place where the horn sounded.

Ten, twenty, one hundred, two hundred...

The cavalry unit, which had more than 1000 men when it participated in the war, now has less than 500 men left.Many of them were still wounded, a hand was injured, or their faces were covered with bandages, and they were in a state of distress, like a defeated army.

But when they gathered in front of the female knight who blew the horn, and the army was naturally assembled, those feelings of embarrassment were swept away before their high-spirited momentum.

Slovenier held the reins of the horse, walked to the front of the team, and then turned the horse's head towards the direction of the battlefield.

Then, he drew his great sword, held the hilt with one hand, and pointed straight ahead:

"charge."

"Give them a grand back rush!"

War horses flew out like arrows from the string, and the mud was kicked up high, splashing on their armor and faces, and the hoofs of the horses were like thunder, roaring on the plain.

This is exactly their mission as cavalry - to defeat the enemy's cavalry, and then assist their own infantry to win the final battle!

They leaned on the horses, and these companions, who were even closer to them than their colleagues, snorted and responded to their masters with the ups and downs of running. They will carry out their will and run to the point of their swords.

It is also telling these cavalrymen, don’t worry about their physical strength, just charge - these Amasirs are not the only ones bred in this land, and they are also fattened and strong with rich pastures .

Here, too, is the land they are going to guard!

They were advancing at an astonishing speed, and no one could have imagined that this was a cavalry team that had just experienced a bloody battle.They were so fast that the cruising Ao San Emma scouts had already rushed into the battlefield in front of the line of defense before they had time to report!
"Charge, charge!"

Slovenier heard a hoarse shout that was still in the voice change period behind him.He turned his head and saw the youngest little Hunter, who was once an attendant knight of the Silver Blade Knights, holding a spear in his hand, and was shouting loudly:

"Charge, charge!"

"Good shout, Hunter, louder!" Slovenier shouted high-spiritedly, and Hunter, who was encouraged, was even more delighted, and shouted loudly:
"Charge, charge! Siliki, charge, Silver Blade Knight, charge!"

"For Amathir, for La Rochelle!"

And on the high platform in the distant position, Azike tiredly saw the smoke rising from the side of the battlefield, closed his eyes, and said softly and firmly:
"Horror."

"Counterattack."
