Lord of Glory - Chapter 285

[Chapter 285 Nightingale’s Raid]

As the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast. . COM When the entire continent declared war on the elves together, the Elf Queen Windsor, who did not understand chivalry at all, knew that when the human army gathered, she would definitely not be an opponent. Taking advantage of the fact that Nubia and Ai Xinzhe’s army on the frontier did not start to gather, they immediately blew the horn of aggression called justice, and a full 50,000 elite elves charged towards the border of Nubian Kingdom like lightning.

However, the king of Nubia, the clone of Paladin is also a prophet. After the elf army was smashing down several cities and villages, the nightingale light cavalry, which was well-known in Nubia, had gathered 20,000 national strength and rushed to the battlefield. At this moment, in the territory of Nubia, on a hill. The dense Nubian light cavalry marches forward like waves.

These light cavalry, armed with a spear and a long sword on their waists, carried crossbows and quivers on their backs. Wearing a layer of chain mail with leather armor over it. Except for key parts and helmets, there is little protection from plate armor. The mount is also a brown pony with outstanding endurance. When they heard the news of the elf attack from the king, they rushed in with the fastest speed and lightest equipment. And through the sentry sent out before, I learned that thirty miles away, is the vanguard of the elf army. Five thousand silver spears, Centaur Legion.

And an officer headed by this hurried light cavalry. The eight-legged beard and the weathered face, full of firm bedside eyes, showed the fearlessness in this man’s heart. He looked up at the sky, raised his hands and took off the light round helmet. The long black hair was limply scattered on his shoulders. I saw his eyes narrowed. Raise your hand and shake it. The flag bearer behind him immediately waved the nightingale flag of the Nubian Kingdom. Those cavalrymen who saw the semaphore immediately restrained their horses quietly. Turn over and dismount uniformly. With great tacit understanding, he began to check his equipment and scoop out the prepared hay to feed the war horse.

“General Kodur, the Centaur Legion is already very close to us. Should we start an ambush now?” At this moment, a knight in Light Nightingale stepped forward and took off his helmet. General Doerr asked. The latter just nodded his head and said, “The elf striker centaur is aggressive. If the walking army meets the centaur army, the end will only be wiped out. So this time we must make a surprise victory and directly explain the centaur army here.”

The adjutant with a look of understanding suddenly frowned, glanced back and forth for no one else, lowered his voice and said in Keduer’s ear: “General. It is Your Majesty who heard the news of the invasion of the elf army. But we are in front of us. The post didn’t even have any news at all. How could His Majesty know so quickly?” “Huh? You have to understand that if you want to live long, you can’t just talk about some things. Because sometimes, killing someone is better than killing someone. The sword is fast.”

The adjutant looked at the general’s sharp eyes. Also startled, he lowered his head and dared not speak. General Kodur, who snorted softly, turned his head to look at the road in front of him that seemed to be embedded in the forest, and muttered uncomfortably: “Why do you want to take this road? This kind of road marching will not be very great. Are you procrastinating?” A feeling of unease was quietly looming over General Kodur. Although he led the Nightingale light cavalry to win countless victories. But he, who had never fought an elves before, felt more and more uneasiness when facing this enemy who had no information.

Soon after, the centaur regiment in silver upper body armor and cloth robes carried a long spear and a huge shield in the other hand. The streamlined silver-white helmet he was wearing had a white tassel fluttering in the wind. So neatly and uniformly stepping on the heavy horse’s hoof. Walk on this forest road. Although very subtle, the remains of crimson blood can still be seen on the armor and spears of these well-equipped centaur knights. Obviously, the Centaur Legion just ended a fight not long ago. Time was so tight for them that they didn’t even have time to take a break to wipe off their armor. …,

However, during such a march, the centaur leader who was walking in front suddenly stopped his hooves, and his four hooves stepped on it unnaturally. The man’s face showed a kind of solemnity. The slight smell in the air. “Leader?” A female centaur beside her asked suspiciously. But as soon as he finished speaking, the bearded centaur suddenly roared and waved his shield fiercely, only to hear a crisp sound. A sharp crossbow arrow was intercepted by this shield. I saw that the female centaur next to him hadn’t reacted yet, and the leader fiercely held up his spear. He raised his shield in front of him, turned his head and shouted at the centaur who was on alert behind him: “Human! Enemy attack!”

As soon as the words fell, from the hills on both sides in the distance, there were suddenly a dense number of Nightingale light cavalry riding pony horses. It was as if the top of the mountain was shrouded in a layer of black veil. The light cavalry, which was four times more numerous than the centaurs, heard General Keduer’s roar, resounding in the forest: “Send arrows! Shoot me these nondescript bastards!” Wan’s light cavalry immediately took out the crossbow from the back very skillfully, and after quickly pressing the crossbow, they neatly raised it and aimed at the centaur who saw them in the distance, and was in a panic!

“Raise your shield! Rush up and stab these despicable humans to death!” The centaur leader immediately shouted loudly as he heard the sound of pulling the trigger one after another in the distance. These well-trained centaur legions were only slightly taken aback, and immediately found their backbone in the leader’s words. Immediately raised the shield in front of him. And at this moment, the sky suddenly dimmed, and only a large swishing sound was heard. Like a gust of wind, the rumbling sound of arrows instantly occupied the listening range of the entire ear.

A large number of powerful bolts hit the shield, making a sound like a woodpecker. But even if the centaur had such a large shield, under such a dense rain of arrows, it could not be foolproof. Because the next moment, the entire army immediately resounded with screams and cracks. Arrow rain, come and go quickly. When the gust of wind that was blowing towards the face disappeared. The leader put down his shield and looked at the densely packed crossbow bolts on the shield. He looked back and saw that many of his fellow clansmen were lying on the ground with blood, their four hooves shaking in pain.

Finally, the leader’s eyes turned red. The nightingale light cavalry slammed his spear and pointed at the distant hills and shouted: “Rush forward while they are shooting arrows! Avenge our kinsmen! Avenge our brothers and sisters!” After roaring, the leader took the lead. They galloped up and saw what the leader did, the centaurs also roared in anger, holding spears to form a steel jungle, rushing towards the nightingale knight on the hill quickly and mightily!

“Arrow, prepare for the second salvo. The dignified Keduer gave the order. Just in the first round of salvo, the centaur killed and wounded five hundred troops. One tenth of them died at once. Morale took a big hit. According to the calculations of Kodur, who has been fighting all year round, when these centaurs approached their dangerous distance, they could fire three salvos. At that time, there were many casualties, and the hit centaurs rushed downhill. Poe’s great disadvantage, they can easily attack from the top, directly crushing and destroying these low-level creatures who don’t know how to fight. Of course, the premise of all this is that the centaur can maintain the formation and not flee before rushing forward.

Thinking of this, the dignified Keduer showed a smile on his face. It seems that these alien races who have been driven out of Middle-earth are not as powerful as the myths say. Or is he just too powerful? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come (.) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
