Chapter 117 Silver Steel Cavalry

At the end of July, a team set out from the Lingyu Sect in a floating giant boat and headed north to Luojing.

“Wow, what a spacious place.”

Yu Tingyu looked at his new bedroom excitedly and touched around curiously. On the floating boat, each disciple assigned a bedroom, while Yu Tingyu lived in the same room with Luo Lan Hill.

Lorran Hill, who was standing beside him, looked up at the ceiling about three meters and the painted wooden furniture around him. He felt that the floating giant boat in the east was not much different from the west, but the shape was larger.

The floating giant boat they are riding in is said to have been customized by Yanxingmen several years ago. It can accommodate nearly a thousand people in a living space. There is also a rich storage warehouse inside, which can carry a lot of things.

The giant floating boat is shaped like a sperm whale, with an oval belly below and several pavilions standing above, like a bridge.

During this period, Lolan Hill also asked Senior Brother Gu Lie curiously why the floating boats in the east are much larger than the airships in the west. Gu Lie explained that this is because there are more monster resources in the east.

The skeletons of some giant monsters or sea beasts are made of dragon bones, and they are matched with corresponding inscriptions, which can carry more and are larger at the same time. In addition, there are also some tall ancient trees in many lucky lands in the East that can be used to build ships. The quality is better, so the performance is better.

The fact that Western airships are not big is not because of insufficient technology, but because of the lack of corresponding materials, the country of Oz, which was a thousand years ago, had made sky warships with all its strength, and no one has surpassed them to this day.

After finishing the inquiry, Lolan Hill unknowingly remembered several former roommates.

—————

Two years ago, the Western Continent, the Apocalypse Fortress.

The golden fields are covered with yellow grass roots and soil. The autumn sun shines on the earth, and the smell of dry and dry leaves drifts into the distance with the wind.

Bang.

An ankle wearing iron armor stepped across the ground, stepped on the straw on the ground into the broken soil, and then lifted it up to reveal obvious footprints.

A group of fully armed soldiers marched on the earth, wearing armor of various styles, coated with aristocratic heraldry, and resisted halberds and crossbows on their shoulders, marched towards the west side of the golden field.

These army of Canghong Empire step by step across the borders established by the seven kingdoms of Xuehua, and then came to the Apocalypse fortress and began to garrison.

Nearly 200,000 troops began to build camps, digging ravines to prepare for long-term combat, and the bonfires for cooking at dusk were connected together, almost illuminating half of the sky.

At the Apocalypse Fortress, a Clancia general and officer looked at the scene with a telescope and started discussing.

"According to the report of the intelligence personnel, this is probably only their vanguard. After the camp is built, the subsequent siege artillery will gradually enter the field. Later, when Cangcui and others are ready, about 2 million troops will gather at the border."

"And this is only their first mobilization. If the situation is better, the nobles in Cangcui have put aside their guard and worries, and more elite private troops will enter the field, and the forest elves may also participate." An officer said worriedly.

"If we estimate the recruitment ratio of the 'Black Bow Battle' hundreds of years ago, Cangcui could finally recruit a large army between 4 and 6 million. In the last war, they collected more than 3 million, and now the population is almost twice that of that year, so there are more soldiers available."

"It's really terrible. It's worthy of being the most powerful empire in the Western Continent." An elderly general sighed.

"How do you reply in China now?"

"His Excellency Pullman, the Star Leader, issued a call to his country and his allies."

"The major legions stationed in Crancia will come here, many of them have experienced the war with Hanshuang, with about 1.5 million of these legions. Later, the three capitals of Black Rock Autonomous Provinces sent 100,000 infantry to go south, the orcs will mobilize 300,000 legion soldiers to support, the six provinces of Velga will convene 300,000 troops, and the Falcon will convene another 100,000 cavalry to support, and the 300,000 troops originally stationed in the fortress can finally gather 2.6 million troops." The officers on the side reported the current intelligence.

"2.6 million is such a lucky number, exactly the same as the 'Black Bow Battle' back then." An officer smiled.

"But this time we have to face is probably twice as many enemies as we were back then." Someone said worriedly.

"Yes, the number of enemies is twice as large as the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua in the past is also more powerful and more than twice as powerful as the Seven Kingdoms of the past. We must believe in the inevitability of victory, but we must also be more cautious in tactical terms."

"Didn't Lord Sage say that back then? He despises the enemy strategically and attaches importance to the enemy tactically." The general patted the young officer beside him.

The officer took a deep breath and comforted his nervousness.

"Yes, Lord Sage is right. We are walking step by step, and we will continue like this in the future."

"Play the trumpet. While the other party is not stable, give them a warning first and let them see our brave warriors." The veteran pressed the brim of his hat and raised his rough palm.

"Yes, General Seg!"

A whimpering horn sounded, and then the gate of the fortress opened, and cavalrymen who were ready to go came out one after another.

They were wearing extremely neat and full-coverage armor, and even the horses were covered with platinum hangings. They held their long spears in the palm of their hands and stretched straight towards the sky, like a sharp sword, and the pennant flag below the spear tip fluttered in the wind.

These are members of the Knights of Clancia. Each of them is well-trained and the official members are above Sequence 3. They are also the backbone of the current Clanci runner-up, performing various national tasks.

The horse's hooves trampled on the dry soil, and there were still scattered wheat straw and grass roots in the harvested wheat fields. They were carried up as the cavalry gradually accelerated, and bursts of dust were raised.

The earth was beaten like a drum face. The initial sound was slower, but the sound behind it gradually became louder and denser, and became more and more rapid, making people frightened.

The Canghong Empire army stood behind the temporary barrier, raised long spears and pointed them into the sky ahead, and conscripted soldiers faced the enemy nervously.

Although they had never fought with the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, they had heard of the name of the West Wind Cavalry in the past. Now, Crancia has fully accepted the territory of the West Wind, and the use of cavalry shocks is also expected by many people.

Looking at the steel fence spreading over the horizon of vision, the commander of the army held up the broadsword and then swung it down heavily.

"put!"

Swish swish swish-

The dense crossbow arrows shot out from behind, like black rain, briefly covering the sky, and then shooting down.

Bang bang

The powerful enchanted crossbow arrows were directly immersed in the shield, bringing blood flowers, and a muffled sound came out of the steel armor, and then some cavalry or horses were shot down.

"Resonate with the array!" Clancia's cavalry command rushed to the front and shouted loudly.

Platinum-gold patterns lit up on the armor, and then the core of the war sequence began to run at high speed. Countless magic powers were transmitted to all directions, like a sophisticated and complex circuit network, connecting rows of cavalry troops, and then a thin golden light covered the armor.

The arrow rain continued, and the enchanted crossbow arrows broke through the air, hitting the raised shield, hitting a wave of Mars, leaving sharp scratches, and then bounced to the ground and were stomped off by the heavy iron hooves of the cavalry.

"Tsk." Looking at the scene in front of you, the commander of the Canghong Empire gritted his teeth and spat, then waved his hand urgently, allowing the thorny mages behind to prepare.

Back then, Cangcui suffered a lot on the cavalry of the west wind, so naturally she studied how to deal with it. The horses originally set up in front of the camp were suddenly wrapped around thick thorn vines. There were long black thorns around these vines, which tightly connected the horses, and the roots below were deeply penetrated into the soil to strengthen the facilities that blocked the cavalry.

Then, steel chariots hidden behind the military formation were slowly pushed out. These chariots had sharp corners like triceratops in front. After putting down the wheels behind them, they formed a solid steel fortress. At the same time, a 5-meter-long dragon spear was also set up from behind the body to kill enemies who dared to attack.

Faced with such a strong front line, generally speaking, frontal impact is not a good choice, and side impact is the best. However, about 200,000 troops of the Canghong Empire are arranged horizontally. If you want to reach the rear, you have to bypass the extremely long detour. At the same time, there may not be no defense on the side and rear. In this way, it is better to have a rapid and direct impact.

Times have never stopped progressing.

If Cangcui was facing the cavalry of the former West Wind at this moment, perhaps this defense would be effective, but these cavalrymen holding cavalry spears had scattered and stomped the golem walls of the frost united united. At this moment, they would be a bit underestimated when facing such resistance.

The white cloak and horsehair rose and fell rapidly in the wind, forming a rolling white ocean. The silver steel helmet had already been pulled down. Everything in the field of vision was only the enemy formation in front of the gap. The spears were then put down, reflecting dense star light in the sun.

As the magic of the war sequence injected into the inscription of the rifle, the entangled golden patterns spread and bloomed, and the colorless flames burned from the tip of the gun, turning it into a hot soldering iron.

"The impact of the sun!"

The commander in the front row shouted loudly, and then a conical vortex formed by platinum flames shot out, directly burning the blocking thorns and turning them into ashes. Then, thick rifles directly hit the steel chariot, melting gold through the iron, lifting up countless debris and blood. The soldiers resisting behind let out loud crying and wailing, and some ran out in panic, with semi-cooled metal debris on their bodies rolling on the ground.

Throwing down the broken cavalry, these white-helmet knights pulled out the long swords at their waists, then continued to attack, and continued to kill the enemy troops that were resisting and running.

For a moment, the war horses neighed, and the sound of weapons fighting everywhere. Thanks to Clancia's craft improvements and the captured large number of Rurn's alchemists, the weapons and armor they used are now all good products after enchanting, which are far from comparable to the soldiers recruited by the Canghong Empire.

The long sword that was swung from time to time, its hilt was straight, like a cross. There was a spherical counterweight ball behind the handshake, and it was also engraved with a star pattern surrounded by wheat ears, symbolizing the national emblem of Clancia.

[Silver Steel Cross Sword] (Silver-level, rare): Excellent products after obtaining the skills of frost joint and alchemist. Currently, it is mostly equipped with Clancia's cavalry legion. It is used as a sub-weapon and is the third-generation standard equipment of Clancia. It comes with [Sharp Lv3] [Tough Lv.2] double enchantment, and the center of gravity ratio is in line with the human body's force engineering. It is a classic design after several years of improvement.

Scream—

The sharp sword quickly passed through the atmosphere, and a silver curved arc appeared briefly in the sunlight. Then it was cut off the neck opposite and brought a big head. Even if it was blocked by iron armor, it would look like nothing and cut it out of a smooth gap.

Blood gushed from the neck and flowed down the gap in the armor.

Facing the scorching sun, knights in silver armor were interspersed at high speed in the dispersed military formation. The sharp sword in their hands turned around, bringing silver arcs, and then scattering blood.

After the front was dispersed, the soldiers behind began to disperse and stepped on the ground in panic. Even the supervisors behind the army could not stop the decline after the defeat. They could only sigh and follow the rolling crowds to retreat.

Under the sky with the scorching sun, the white gold cavalry swept across the enemy formation like silver lines, bringing countless surging blood, and death spreads immediately.

In this battle, about 60,000 soldiers of the Canghong Empire were killed on the spot, 80,000 soldiers voluntarily knelt down and surrendered, and in the end only about 50,000 soldiers fled back to the country.

At night, black-clad cavalry holding torches parade the battlefield, like scattered lights on the ground. Their armor was covered with black coats, their faces were covered with black cloth, and their slender iron guns were held in their hands, checking the bodies, and they checked the possible living mouths.

A general riding a horse came to this wilderness and gradually stopped his horse and looked down at the piles of blood and corpses around him. The four black knights who were accompanying him stood not far beside him, guarding him.

Not long after, a black knight with a torch came over, and the sound of ticking horse hooves was particularly crisp and clear in the night.

"Report to General Covid, the battlefield in the East District has been inspected, and 23 surviving soldiers were found, and the rest were confirmed to be dead."

"Okay." The general's dark eyes were shining with flames, and he continued to command in a low voice.

"Let the white robed priests come over and burn the bodies."

"Yes, General." The black knight saluted solemnly, and then called on several companions to run towards the fortress.

Not long after, priests with white cloth faces stepped into the battlefield during the day and fell down the special holy oil of the holy land at the corpses. Then a fire rose and burned the hills made of corpses.

On a cold night, such white flames were lit outside the Apocalypse Fortress. The sparks and smells of the bodies burned to the unknown distance with the night wind.

On the fortress, the generals watching the battle looked below, and the unscathed flames swayed and brightly the earth.

"I don't know how many people will be buried in this war. The life that has passed away today is just the beginning of everything."
