Lord Highlander

  Chapter 677 666. The battlefield separated by darkness

  Darkness falls

  The whole world seems to have fallen into eternal night.

The leader of Cumberland watched helplessly as the burning camp ahead slowly disappeared from sight, but he found the direction of attack, raised his whip and lashed the horse's butt, allowing him to rush down from the dune. The horse speeded up again, the horse's four hooves flew into the air, and yellow sand and a layer of white snow were raised under its feet.

  The cronies who followed closely behind saw the leader speeding up, and followed closely behind.

  Although these desert robbers from Huwan Oasis still have five senses, their vision distance seems to be deprived. They can only see a dozen meters in front of them, and they cannot hear any other sounds except their own running horseshoes...

   Completely immersed in the darkness, the robbers felt a little panic.

  However, this throbbing in the heart has not been fully stimulated, and the tents at the foot of the sand dunes suddenly appeared, and these tents seemed to pop out all of a sudden.

The leader of Cumberland was riding on horseback, with his body leaning slightly to the left, his left foot on the stirrup, his right foot hooked on the saddle, his right hand firmly holding the saddle, his left hand holding the scimitar with all his strength, and pointing towards the left The camp tent on the side was cut away, only a "tear" sound was heard, and the tent with a thick layer of felt on the canvas was cut off the spire.

  It's a pity that the veterans of the cavalry battalion in the tent are not huddled in their sleeping bags, showing a look of not waking up, waiting for the desert robbers to slaughter wantonly.

Six veterans of the cavalry battalion wore black full-coverage armor and squatted silently in the tent, posing the most classic defensive posture of infantry soldiers. They held heavy tower shields in their hands, and the six of them formed a group. A fighting squad, with shields protecting everyone in the center.

  The edge of the scimitar in the Cumberland leader's hand touched the shield, sparking a burst of sparks.

Before he could wipe off the head of a cavalryman with his knife, he saw a sharp spear protruding from the gap in the tower shield. The leader of Cumberland quickly swung his scimitar to cut off the spear in front of him. , but he underestimated the speed of the spear a little bit, his scimitar blade just swept to the tip of the spear, the two weapons collided together, a huge spark burst out, the arm of the veteran holding the spear shook violently, and he gripped the spear tightly The spear's jaw felt a pain.

He didn't let go of his hand at all. After the spear came out, the trajectory of the spear point was a little bit downward. The spear could not be poured into the lower abdomen of the Cumberland leader, but stuck to the edge of his thigh and completely penetrated into the horse. In the chest, the warhorse of the Cumberland chief uttered a mournful cry, and fell forward.

The leader of Cumberland jumped up from his horse very nimbly, and a huge phantom of a sand scorpion appeared behind him, pounced steadily on the tent in front, and slashed out again, the scimitar in his hand burst out with sparks .

  The leader of Cumberland thought that his sharp blow after dismounting from his horse could kill at least one veteran soldier, but he didn't expect that when the scimitar stabbed at the tent, the scimitar was firmly blocked by a butcher's axe.

Andrew waved the butcher and got out of the tent. The 'Earth Shield' magic pattern structure completely made up for his shortcomings in defense in battle, and the magic pattern structure provided him with some bonuses in strength and stamina. Immediately Make him appear more comfortable in battle.

Andrew stopped a leader of the Sand Bandits, and the heavy butcher's ax slashed on the Cumberland leader's scimitar one after another. Even if it was a scimitar blessed with magic metal, it was still cut like a knife by Andrew's butcher's axe. jagged.

   Inspired his own 'momentum', a huge sand scorpion was always behind the leader of Cumberland, increasing the strength and speed of the leader of Cumberland.

It's a pity that the leader of Cumberland just rushed up and met Andrew with the magic pattern structure. He was forced into a panic by Andrew's fierce offensive. The leader of Cumberland retreated again and again. After a while, several wounds were scraped open on his body, and blood flowed out, immediately staining half of his body red.

  The sand bandits behind saw the leader was knocked off the horse, and wanted to rescue the leader of Cumberland, so they did not hesitate to slow down, changed their charge formation, and chased after the leader of Cumberland.

   It's just that they ignored the heavily armored soldiers holding heavy shields and hiding in tents.

  The spears pierced out one after another, and suddenly the Sand Bandits were turned on their backs. The scimitars in the hands of the Sand Bandits slashed out, and when they met the thick tower shield, they couldn't hurt those veterans at all.

Since the veterans of the cavalry battalion were hiding in the tents, the sand robbers would instinctively go around to the sides of the tents when they encountered the tents. Therefore, the veterans of the cavalry battalion in the tents were not hit by the most severe frontal impact of the horses, and they wore full body armor. The bandit's scimitar cut on the shield or armor, causing very limited damage to the veterans. Instead, these bandits were picked off by the veterans with spears.

   Just one charge down, fifty or sixty robbers fell on the battlefield, and the horses with empty backs scattered around the camp, and the torches fell to the ground all at once.

The bandits from the Huwan Oasis couldn't even penetrate the camp. A large number of sand bandits were trapped by the veterans who formed a phalanx. In order to stabilize the situation, the sand bandits quickly approached the leader of Cumberland, trying to Join him together and rush out of the camp in one go.

  The veterans held up heavy tower shields to surround the sand robbers in the Huwan Oasis, and the spears in their hands were stabbed frequently, and the sand robbers fell from their horses on their backs.

  Seeing that his subordinates were as fragile as thin paper in front of the heavy armored infantry, the leader of Cumberland realized at this time how the desert bandits in the sweet water oasis disappeared out of thin air.

  The battle has entered this moment, and the leader of Cumberland can only pin his hopes on the other three-way bandit group.

  He panted heavily, barely blocking Andrew's devastating blow, and coughed up some more blood in his chest.

  I thought that even if the sand dunes they were in were a little far away, it was time to come to the battlefield by now!

   I just didn't expect to see any bandits from other allies in the camp except for the sand bandits from the Huwan Oasis.

Surdak lit up the 'halo of power' in the camp, which became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's camel. He formed a formation and fought against the bandits, only to feel that the power under his feet was continuously replenished. The veterans had just gained the upper hand. Now it can be regarded as beheading the desert robbers.

  Suddenly, the camp was full of people.

  Cumberland leader stared at the blood-red eyes, looking forward to the robbers coming from other directions, but the sound of intermittent fighting came from a distance, which made his heart feel cold for a while...

  The battlefield seems a bit far from here...

  …

   Chief Lowell led a team of desert bandits to attack the camp under the dunes from the west.

   Holding torches in their hands, they rushed into the camp without seeing any obstacles along the way.

  Darkness fell, blocking their vision within a range of fifteen meters. Holding torches in their hands, they shuttled between the tents in the camp. After picking up a few tents, they discovered that the tents were filled with horse fodder.

  A robber threw a pine oil torch in his hand into the tent with a long cut, the dry grass inside the tent was immediately ignited, and the flames burst out.

   It's just that although the flames in the tent came out, the surrounding area was still completely shrouded in darkness, and the visual distance seemed to be deprived.

  The fire started, and the raging flames prevented the horses from approaching. Before the robbers lit the other tents, the tents around here were on fire.

A lot of bandits rode horses and huddled in this camp. They were cutting apart the tents with machetes, which were just filled with some hay. He was actually trapped in the camp, surrounded by flames, and the frightened neighing of war horses came out frequently.

  Leader Lowell quickly raised the scimitar in his hand, preparing to call all the robbers under his command together, but only then did he realize that the robbers who were a little further away could not hear his call at all...

Just when he was a little hesitant, a fine steel arrow flew past his eyes, and with a 'pop', it passed through the forehead and between the eyebrows of a robber, and the whole body fell off the horse straight on its back, and the robbers around Watching this scene in astonishment, he was speechless for a while.

   "Rush out first..."

  Leader Lowell shouted to the surrounding desert robbers.

  The surrounding bandits responded immediately, and together with Chief Lowell, they rushed towards the direction where the fire hadn't started yet.

   It’s just that during this process, some robbers continued to fall off their horses. The sharpshooter hiding in the dark seemed to be very principled. He almost only shot the robbers on horseback, but never hurt the horses.

  When the leader of Lowell wanted to rush out of the camp, he realized that the tents were poorly arranged. The bandits had to go around the burning camp if they wanted to rush out...
