The enemy in the valley soon discovered a new group of adventurers, and Sir Lorakas, who was sitting in the military tent and presided over the overall situation, waved his hand easily and sent out two cavalry squads, a total of 20 people, he felt that with the cover of the black mist, he only needed to rush from different directions a few times, and he could annihilate those daring adventurers, just like he had dealt with the previous groups.
The sound of horses' hooves could not be concealed in such a narrow valley, especially the dense sound of many horses running together, it was difficult to hear it, and the rock walls around the valley could also produce echoes, even making this sound as powerful as thousands of horses.
Austen's party, who were not deaf, immediately sensed that a cavalry was charging at them, and the team quickly shrank. Austin and Ryan the Archer were protected in the middle as ranged forces. In front of him is the shield warrior Dogran, whose height of more than two meters makes people feel tall and reliable even after kneeling down with a shield. Behind him was Velot, who was also in a defensive stance with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. Kalianlu, Coyote, and Bloody Eyes are distributed on both sides, and their weapons have their own characteristics, Kalianlu's short sword is pocket-sized, and Coyote has a pair of cold claws on his hands, and Bloody Eyes uses two short spears that can be spliced.
"It's coming!"
Because of the interference of the echo of the valley, they did not discover it until the cavalry rushed into the area illuminated by the 'Heavenly Light', and it was Karenlu who stood in front of the soldiers, and the cavalry chose the side that looked the best to break through because of their good sight.
Originally, Austin was going to strike immediately, trying to disrupt their charging formation with a spell, but when he saw that the enemy was not only fully armed himself, but also his horse was covered with a cloak made of iron sheets, he immediately dispelled the idea. His 'Acid Missile' can't melt through iron armor. And his most mysterious and weird missile spell, he didn't want to waste it like this. So he chose to trust his companions.
Never underestimate a woman!, Karenlu confirmed this sentence with her own actions. She leapt into the air like a fluttering butterfly, then swung her dagger with a beautiful whirling slash that easily decapitated the stunned looks of her enemies.
Ryan's support arrived, and his arrows shot through the eyes of a horse with such precision that the horsemen on horseback fell to the ground before they could react.
In the blink of an eye, two enemies fell in a row, and their attacking formation was out of order.
In addition to Doglan, Velot, and Austin did not move, continuing to guard against possible dangers in other directions, coyotes and Bloodeye also rushed into the already chaotic cavalry. The coyote bent down and burrowed under the horse, stabbing the unprotected horse's belly into fist-sized holes with its sharp claws, and bringing out a large mass of yellow, yellow, green and green intestines by the way. Bloodeye's combat method is very simple, combining two short spears into a spear with spikes at both ends, and by virtue of its length, it stabs the enemy's neck one at a time.
Once the cavalry's charge advantage is lost, it is really not enough to see in front of the adventurers who are several levels above them. A whole group of cavalry, 10 people, was killed in just two minutes.
The other group of cavalry who had been ordered to come had chosen the direction where Velot was going to charge, but when they saw that their comrades were easily spotted and slaughtered, they immediately discovered the problem: the enemy was not affected by the black fog at close range!
So, they resolutely abandoned the action of sending them to their deaths, and blew the whistle that would only be used in emergencies, informing Sir Roracas that the enemy was too tricky. However, they did not stand still, and in order to prevent the adventurers from going further into the valley, they galloped around in confusion, so that the other party could not grasp the direction of the next wave of attacks, and successfully pinned Austin and his party to the spot for the time being.
Sir Rorakas, who was sitting in the tent, heard the whistle and immediately slapped the table and shouted, "A bunch of rubbish!"
"You take a team of cavalry and a team of crossbowmen to support, and you must take them down. Anger alone would not solve the problem, and after a moment's thought, he sent his most trusted guard, and temporarily put a small group of crossbowmen in his possession under his command.
After Austin and the others waited in place for two or three minutes, they didn't wait for the other party's impact, and quickly understood the enemy's plan, if the 'Heavenly Light' did not have a duration limit, of course they would not be in a hurry, and they could slowly deal with the enemy, but the holy warrior's divine skills could only last for half an hour, and they couldn't afford it!
After a brief discussion, Dogran took the lead and opened the way in front, and they continued to maintain a group formation, following behind and slowly moving forward, always staring at the left and right rear.
'Whoosh~'
In the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, several sharp strange sounds suddenly sounded.
The sound was so special that the adventurers and the paladins immediately recognized the sound of the crossbow bolts tearing through the air, but Austin was not alert when he had the opportunity to touch the thing.
"Austin, get down. The paladin raised his shield and yelled at Austin, who had not yet reacted.
"Huh?" Austin froze for a moment, then immediately heeded Vellot's reminder and crouched up, hiding herself between them.
His teammates didn't have any objection to this, after all, low-level spellcasters are extremely vulnerable, and they rely more on their teammates' protection before mastering spells that can effectively block long-range physical attacks, such as 'Protective Arrows' and 'Force Field Shift'.
The others are all veterans, and this round of crossbow arrows is not dense, more than a dozen arrows are scattered and aimed at different people, some are successfully dodged by slightly sideways, and some are cut off before they reach people, and they fall to the ground weakly. "Hurry forward, I'll get out of the way. The shield warrior Dogran raised his huge tower shield with both hands, which was a man high, and without saying a word, rushed forward with the shield on his head.
There must be more than one round of crossbow arrows, and if the opponent's cavalry cooperates with the attack, no one on their side can guarantee that they can avoid all of them without any mistakes, and the rest of the people immediately rushed to the depths of the valley under the leadership of Dogran, trying to ensure that the formation was not chaotic.
"Brothers~~ Rush!" Seeing this, the enemy launched a new round of charge at the right time, while the crossbowmen did not stop at all, and continued to look for various tricky angles to shoot at Austin and a few people.
In the process of rapid movement, Austin and the others unexpectedly appeared a defensive gap that allowed the enemy to take advantage of, and Velot fell behind in order to block a few crossbow arrows shot from behind. After all, it was only put together temporarily, and it was inevitable that there would be some deficiencies in cooperation.
Anyone can fall first, but now the holy warrior can't fall first, the 'celestial light' above his head is the key for everyone to be able to act in the black fog, so the pace of the team's progress slowed down as a whole, and the most agile Karenlu and coyotes hurriedly went around the back to cooperate with the paladin to resist the enemy's entanglement.
But the enemy's offensive was not completely over, and suddenly another group of cavalry was killed on the left flank of Austin and others, and they roared towards Austen and Ryan in the middle of the ranks.
"Oops!" The others were too busy to support Austin and Ryan, and could only watch as the cavalry rushed at them and raised their swords at them.
As a professional who also relies on flexible skills to eat, archers generally master several melee martial arts and body skills in addition to their clever archery skills, and it is not the first time that Ryan has dealt with the inevitable hand-to-hand combat, he quickly flashed to the side, first avoiding the enemy's direct edge, and then rolled around, and he arrived at Dogran's side, he was temporarily safe!
Austin chose to face the enemy head-on!
The enemy at the front was still happy, thinking that the person dressed as this spellcaster was so frightened that he couldn't even dodge, he could even imagine the bloody scene of the other party splitting in two under his sword, but the next moment, when the purple light in Austin's eyes appeared, everything began to reverse!
