Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 156 The Warden and the Baneblade
Imrik nodded in understanding after receiving the news from the dragon prince Judith that Tyrion had mounted the war horse that no one could tame.

Looking at the sky that seemed to be getting darker in the distance, I thought to myself for a while.

I don't know who the Witch King will send to snipe me, and I look forward to a suitable fool appearing.

…………

The war came as promised, and the war with a total number of more than 30 people did not enter into a deadly battle at the beginning. The two sides will first conduct a period of reconnaissance and search to find the enemy's weak point, and then take the opportunity to launch an attack.

Eltharion is doing this. Because of the scarcity of the Yris cavalry, Imrik specially divided 200 people from the silver helmet knights of Saffrey into his command, so as to cooperate with him on the left flank. battle.

The watchman on the horse is leading a team of hundreds of knights to patrol the hills on the left side of the Fennoire Plain. He did not choose to ride on the wings of the storm. This time the operation is just to scout and intercept the enemy scouts. Griffins will reveal their whereabouts instead.

"Prince, there is a Druzzi army approaching, it should be the vanguard." The Iris knight next to him told his discovery.

The watcher thought about it, and it was not difficult to wipe out these vanguards. He still had great confidence in his own strength, not to mention that the newly acquired weapon on his waist greatly increased his strength.

"Break them down."

Following Eltharion's order, everyone leveled their lances. These silver-helmed knights may not have the martial arts and brave fighting will of the Dragon Prince, but a hundred years of training has made them the backbone of the Ulthuan cavalry.

The watchmen who were charging ahead saw the vanguard army, there were more than two hundred people, and it seemed that they planned to find out the situation here first, and then set up camp to wait for the army from the rear to arrive.

After seeing the blue-and-white steel team in the distance, Commander Druzzi immediately got everyone ready to fight. The plains provided an extremely wide field of vision, and the hard ground also caused the sound of horses' hooves to be heard far away.

The fearful spearmen of hundreds of people raised their shields and spears. They have resisted the impact of these fancy cavalry countless times, and then pierced the spears into the throats of these arrogant Asur. Produced by Hagrid Ge Rafe's excellent black armor can provide effective protection, and the spear in his hand can also pierce the useless silver armor of Iselama.

When the watchman saw those Druzzi starting to form formations, he did not choose to stop the silver-helmed knights. Instead, he raised the magic sword Eye of the Storm and began to condense the magic wind in it, and invisible winds began to flow Wrapped around it, the runes on the sword shone with blue light.

A shock wave composed of a hurricane was released under Eltharion's sword, and the wind carried a huge force in the whistling and impacted those Druzzi's bodies. Although it did not cause much damage, it was enough to disperse their formation. This is the heavenly magic storm spell.

Under Eltharion's magic, the defensive formation quickly formed by Drucci dissipated in an instant, and the Silver Helmet Knight would naturally not miss this opportunity. The lance made of the trees produced by Avalon would never break. Stab those Druzzi soldiers who fell to the ground and tried to stand up.

The trampling of the war horse and the attack of the rider made it disappear from this world soon and forever.

But Drucci didn't panic. After being attacked, the second line of defense was formed immediately. Those with sharp swords and spears were fighting with the silver-helmed knights, and the few knights were vaguely surrounded. Propensity.

Elsarion swung out the Eye of the Storm, and the blade didn't touch that Druzzi's neck, but a head had already fallen into those who were resisting Druzzi's position along with the blood dripping.

A Druzzi on a horse wanted to sneak attack the somewhat out-of-touch Prince Iris, and raised the long sword flat on his back, as if it was about to pierce his heart immediately.

But the watcher swung the Carmen spear in his left hand backwards in an arc without looking back. This weapon presented by a friend can guide the wind of magic while maintaining the function of the spear itself—quick and deadly.

The sneak attacking Du Luqi was cut in the neck by a spear, and his eyes were still open angrily before he died. He never thought that Azul's martial arts would be so terrifying, even in the extremely noisy and chaotic environment of the battlefield. Accurately judge the attack from the rear.

After successful close contact, the two sides started a hand-to-hand fight. As a low-level or middle-level nobleman in Ulthuan, the Silver Helmets grew up receiving various military training. It is extremely deadly, and these people have been sent to the Caledon resting place for training and replacement equipment for nearly two years, and it didn't take too long for Eltharion to kill the enemy's commander in one fell swoop and provide spell support from time to time. Time will get rid of this vanguard.

After using the eye of the storm to cut down the last Druzzi soldier who was still stubbornly resisting, Eltharion did not look happy like the others, but frowned instead.

The strength of this vanguard is much weaker than he imagined. Even though he has not actually participated in the war between Asur and Druzzi, his years of study have let him know what kind of combat power Druzzi should have. , Is this just a cannon fodder unit that wants to attract the attention of the Azul coalition forces and focus on this?

Just when he was thinking about this encounter, a voice interrupted his train of thought, the voice of the silver helmeted knight seemed very urgent, "Prince, there is a cavalry of Druzzi on the left approaching!"

Eltharion forcibly interrupted his restless mind, and looked at the place where the voice said. Sure enough, there was a hundred-man cavalry approaching, but it was not the Cold Ones, but the excellent equipment and orderly formation indicated that This army will not be only responsible for reconnaissance and harassment like the dark rider.

They are galloping on all-black war horses. The fangs exposed from the lips of those war horses and the spikes that appear on their bodies all indicate that they are deeply influenced by chaotic energy.

The watchman strengthened some vision with magic, carefully looked at the somewhat strange Druzzi cavalry, and a somewhat familiar face appeared in his eyes.

Itaris!

He knew this famous former Itain nobleman, and even learned a few tricks from Itain when he was invited by Tyrion and Teclis to Lothern.

Hold the eye of the storm tightly in your hand, the guy's head will be a glorious trophy, and the friendship between Iris and Caledor will be stronger.

"All turn left and prepare to charge."

The watchman's tone seemed cold, but the silver-helmed knights who were familiar with his character knew his determination. They picked up their lances and began to charge the enemy head-on on the plain.
