Charging is the most powerful form of cavalry attack, with the huge impact of horses running, their long swords can easily tear through the enemy's leather armor, their spears can even pierce a few centimeters thick plate armor, and once the number of cavalry becomes huge, when they charge, it will be an absolute nightmare for people.
Although ten cavalry is not much, and the terrain in the village is not spacious and flat enough, if their fighting spirit is high enough to launch an attack side by side in pairs, even if Velot already has the strong physique of a level 4 warrior and has a defense blessed by divine arts, it will be difficult to retreat with his whole body, as for Austin, his small body can only hide.
However, what they want is not to win, but to catch a sufficient number of girls to deal with the people above, with the advantage of horseback, they can easily get rid of the people who get in the way, so why fight to the death?
As a result, this gave Austin a chance, the special mage's casting speed was very fast, and the target he chose had just turned the horse's head and kicked the horse's belly, but before he could rush out, the 'acid missile' had already flown in, and it was too late to dodge sideways, so he could only bear this spell attack.
Although it successfully hit the target, the 'Acid Missile' is only a zero-level spell after all, and it may cause fatal damage to ordinary people, but for people who are wearing leather armor and may be professionals, it is just a stumbling after being beaten, and the leather armor is corroded by acid. Some of the acid that had spilled fell on the horse's rump, causing it to jump in panic and delay the 'robber''s retreat.
At this time, Velot finally rushed to the 'bandit', jumped high, pounced on him, and knocked him off the horse, the strength of the paladin should not be underestimated, and he did not give the other party a chance to struggle and resist at all, and subdued him and knocked him unconscious in two simple strokes.
Seeing that some of their companions were caught, the 9 'robbers' who had already run out in front of them turned their horses around and slowly gathered together, they still had the advantage, and they were not afraid to fight Austin and Velot, they just didn't want to waste time and energy before.
"Austen, watch out for them to charge, wait until you find a place to hide and find an opportunity before you strike. Velot said to Austin as he threw the 'robber' he knocked unconscious into a nearby unoccupied house, and then shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone find a place to hide, and run as far away as possible, it's dangerous here." "
The holy warrior has always been synonymous with kindness and justice, and the villagers next to him have long recognized the identity of the Velot Holy Warrior, and they are constantly thanking the gods in their hearts for finally sending rescue soldiers, and at the same time, they also obediently disperse, adults holding children, and women helping the elderly, all away from this place that is about to become a battlefield.
And Austin, who has just made a contribution, hides faster than anyone else, this is a habit developed when he is a gangster, so that when he sees that the momentum is not good, he will immediately think about how to protect himself, and Velot's reminder is just so that he can do it openly.
In order to avoid the charge of the 'bandits' and to be able to support the battlefield at any time, the clever Austin went around to a private house, quietly climbed onto the roof, and bowed down to try not to attract attention.
At this time, the 'robbers' had laid down the maiden who had been tied hand and foot on horseback, and lined up in two columns, except for the tall 'robber' at the front, who wore a unique antler helmet, and was alone in a row, and the rest of the people were in groups of two. The infinite battle intent began to rise in the bodies of these nine 'robbers', which belonged to the iron-blooded aura sharpened on the battlefield, and it was definitely not the momentum that ordinary robbers who robbed homes and robbed the road, and the holy warrior Velot, who was locked by them, also erupted with a powerful momentum on his body, and it intensified, and even climbed to the level of being able to confront the nine 'bandits'.
The formation of the 'robbers' was ready, they flapped their horses and began to accelerate, from slow to fast, from sparse to dense horses' hooves, their long swords were drawn, and the leader actually let go of the reins completely, and held the hilt of the sword with both hands, his slash would definitely be extremely powerful!
Velot's face was full of solemnity, he first blessed himself with the most customary divine technique 'Guardian Shield', and then raised the long sword branded with the Holy Emblem of Tyr that the Holy Samurai of Justice is equipped with, and another divine weapon 'Sharp Weapon' was also used, only to see a hazy light flashing on the sword, and the divine skill had taken effect, temporarily greatly improving the sharp attribute of the long sword in his hand.
The holy warrior silently recited the prayer and assumed a posture of confronting the 'bandits' in the charge.
Arrogance, this is the evaluation of the holy warriors by the 'bandits', although it can be seen that this holy warrior is very powerful, at least he must have the strength of a level 4 professional or above, but facing the charge of a group of cavalry head-on, this is looking for death!
Now is it! Taking advantage of the fact that the 'robbers' were fully focused on Villott, Austin, who was lying on the roof, keenly seized the opportunity and launched his second and final 'acid missile' of the day against the head of the 'robber' who rushed to the front. His previous experience had made him realize that attacking the 'bandits' directly would not be able to deal the desired damage unless he could hit the unprotected face, and that it was better to attack the horses, which would disrupt the formation of the charge when they were frightened.
Although the leading 'bandit' didn't expect that the hidden spellcaster would climb onto the roof and cast the spell from a height, but when he saw that it was still the green spell that exuded a sour smell, he was not worried at all, even if he hit?
But soon, his smile froze, and the 'acid missile' did not hit him, but flew to the head of his mount, because he could not reveal his identity when he came out on a mission today, and the horse had no protection, such as a helmet and so on, if he was really hit, the result could be imagined, he wanted to control the horse to deviate from the head, but unfortunately he held the hilt of the sword with both hands at the same time, and could not pull the reins.
In desperation, the leader of the 'bandits' had no choice but to slash the long sword that had infused him with all his strength towards a zero-level spell, thinking that as long as the formation of the charge was not chaotic, even if he didn't have time to attack this turn, the holy warrior would be overwhelmed by the brothers behind him.
Seeing this, Velot couldn't help but smile a little, Austin's support was too timely, and without the threat of the person at the front, he was more likely to deal with the past round of charges.
To everyone's surprise, the spellcaster hiding on the roof of the house cast another spell, which was a strange gray missile, and the target was still the horse's head. How could he cast another spell so quickly?
But time did not allow them to figure it out, and the strange missile that even Austin did not know what effect it would have had landed on the target's head, and there was no explosion, no light and shadow, and even the slightest impact could not be felt, and the missile was submerged in the horse's head.
Austin was stunned for a moment, but in the next second, he turned to surprise, the horse fell directly to the ground, without any scars, but as if it had been drained of its soul, there was no breath of a living creature at all.
The leader of the 'robbers' on the horse was naturally not happy, although he abandoned his horse and jumped up at the first time, he still fell hard when he landed, and rolled several times before stopping, and the others also panicked and tightened the reins in an attempt to stop the horse, and the formation of the charge completely collapsed at once.
Of course, the paladin is not a stubborn person, and he will not wait for the opponent to readjust his condition before he goes up, and beating the water dogs is what he should do when his side is not superior in numbers. Velott seized the opportunity, rushed forward with his sword, and killed the two 'robbers' who were huddled together too late to disperse. He had no mercy for these wicked people who dared to rob people in broad daylight, and he wished to let them be judged by Tyr at once.
Something is wrong with the development of things, the originally confident 'bandit' leader immediately turned on his face, seeing that his side was first stunned by one, and then killed two, plus he only had seven people left, and the other party was indeed not damaged at all, except for consuming a few spell slots of the insidious spellcaster, he was not sure of Austin's level now, that missile was too weird, level 1, level 2, or level 3?
If that is a level 3 or higher spellcaster, then he must have a lot of spell slots, no, such a passive beating will make the brothers all planted here!'The 'bandit' leader no longer hesitated, picked up his long sword, made a throwing gesture, and threw the caster aiming at the roof.
A sharp blade with a sharp sound that pierced the air brought Austin back to his senses, and he subconsciously fell backwards, ignoring the possibility of falling off the roof, and activated another unique level 1 spell 'Secondary Fire Shield' of himself as quickly as possible.
Although the fiery serpent that emerged from his body managed to 'swallow' the flying blade and melt it into a pile of molten iron, Austin was still very embarrassed, and as expected, he fell from the roof of the house and fell strongly, and his 'secondary flame shield' caused more trouble, and most of the houses in the village were made of wood...
