Lord of the Oasischapter 234: complete victory of the charging heavy cavalry

Kant did not intend to let the infantrymen participate in the next expedition.

Therefore, he instructed Bandake, who was still waiting beside him, "Lead these infantrymen to light a bonfire for warmth and set up a temporary camp here. If there is any danger, I will send the cavalry to inform you to provide support."

"Yes, I understand."

Bandake nodded solemnly. At the same time, he said solemnly to Kant, "Lord Kant, please be careful."

"Don't worry." Kant's expression was calm.

Without any nonsense, he immediately got on his horse. However, before he could advance, the mage apprentices stopped him.

The leading mage apprentice said anxiously, "My Lord, we can sense the evil aura. Perhaps we can also sense those magic creatures. If possible, please lead us forward together."

"You must be joking!"

Ban dake frowned and reprimanded, "Lord Kant is leading the cavalry forward. How can you mages keep up? If you meet the enemy, you can't even ride a warhorse, you can only add to the chaos!"

What the mage apprentices could ride was a docile traveling horse.

Compared to the obedient but tyrannical Swadian warhorse in armor, they definitely could not be controlled.

Their riding skills were very poor.

This was the reason why Bandake rejected them.

"Isn't our traveling horse behind us? We'll hide behind and help sense those demonized creatures. If we encounter a large number of demonized creatures that want to ambush us, we'll be the first to discover them!"

The mage apprentices were still pleading.

He turned his head and looked behind him. Their seven traveling horses were used as working horses, carrying a lot of supplies on their backs.

These supplies were charcoal and food for the infantrymen to keep warm.

However, after hearing the mage apprentice's self-recommendation that they could sense magic creatures, Kant raised his eyebrows slightly and asked them in a deep voice, "Can you sense magic creatures? Is this real or fake?"

"It's real!" The leading mage apprentice nodded, he said quickly, "Every time they appear, they carry a strong negative energy from hell. After we are familiar with their energy fluctuations, we can vaguely sense their general situation, such as the number, distance, and information about their levels and types."

After experiencing a failed magic experiment, they no longer dared to boast about anything other than their own abilities.

Kant understood this.

After thinking for a moment, he directly waved his hand and said, "Keep up!"

"Understood!" The mage apprentices immediately saluted in surprise and ran towards their traveling horses.

They took off the supplies and threw them on the wall, then spurred their horses to follow behind Kant and the others.

"Let's go!"

Kant lightly knocked on the horse's abdomen and led the team to charge in front.

Behind them were 188 Swadian heavy calvary and seven mage apprentices riding on their traveling horses. They continued to go deeper into the ancient tunnel, allowing the sound of horses's hooves to hit the Stone Road. The rumbling sound spread out for miles like thunder.

The momentum was unrivaled!

The ancient tunnel was ten meters wide, although it was relatively narrow compared to the plains.

Even if they encountered enemies, they would still be fearless.

The narrow ancient passage extended straight without any corners or corners. It was almost the best battlefield for the Swadian man-at-arms to launch an assault!

As long as they launched an assault.

The sharp lance and the powerful warhorse would destroy everything.

Even if the demonized creatures were ferocious and terrifying, they still had to face someone.

They wanted to resist the charge of the heavy cavalry?

Perhaps they were thinking too much!

They could only rely on the complicated terrain of the mountains to survive.

Although it was a huge threat to the surrounding lords, the ones who were really slaughtered were the demonized creatures. As long as they were found in the Lord's estate, they would definitely be disposed of in a short period of time, there would also be specialized high-level knights to deal with them.

Therefore, only the demonized creatures that were slaughtered and treated as trophies could be seen, but the destroyed estate could not be seen. Perhaps a few logging and quarries were destroyed, but the Lords could start building them at any time.

If those demonized creatures died, they would really die.

Kant led his team and advanced rapidly.

They seemed to have sensed their aggressiveness and did not even see the traces of the demonized creatures.

The heavy cavalry who had been secretly on guard with their lance at all times did not relax in their hearts. Instead, some doubts appeared in their hearts. They even looked at the darkness in front of them vigilantly, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Unusual meant unusual. Unusual meant danger.

The speed slowed down.

Kant also noticed this.

Behind the heavy cavalry, the mage apprentice was hugging the neck of the traveling horse, panting heavily due to the turbulence.

It was obvious that such an intense gallop made it difficult for them, who were not good at riding.

At the back, the Swadian heavy calvary looked on coldly without any intention of helping. For them, they could not even control the traveling horse, just like the mage apprentices who were like students. There was a fundamental difference.

It was similar to the close-combat cavalry who looked down on the long-range archers and crossbowmen.

However, the mage apprentices did not care.

They also disdained to have any entanglements with these stupid soldiers who were riding horses.

Instead, they rode their horses to the front, came to Kant's side, and reported while panting, "My lord, we have sensed that there are groups of magic creatures about 300 meters ahead!"

"Well done." Kant nodded. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the silent darkness in front of him with a calm expression.

As expected.

It was so quiet that it was almost strange. It would be impossible if there were no demonized creatures lying in ambush.

This was the sixth sense of a soldier.

Now that the mage apprentices had reminded him, it proved his guess.

Pulling out the slender knight sword on his waist, Kant turned his head and said in a solemn voice, "Rest for five minutes. After five minutes, prepare for battle. Enter the charging posture and crush them!"

"Yes!" Many of the Swadian heavy calvary answered firmly.

However, these five minutes of rest were not wasted.

Using the light from the torches, they quickly checked their armor and weapons. Straightening their helmets, they tied up the linen robes outside their armor. Each of them had a fan-shaped heater shield in their left hand and a 2.5-meter long lance in their right hand, they looked at Kant coldly.

After a short five minutes, they were ready and waiting for their lord's order. They could drive their armored warhorse at any time and enter a violent charging posture.

After more than ten years of hard training and life-and-death battles on the battlefield, this had almost become their instinct!

"Advance!"

Holding the Knight's sword tightly, Kant urged his horse forward.

The horseshoe lightly knocked on the Stone Road.

The sound in the ancient passage grew noisier as it slowly accelerated.

In just less than 50 meters, all the Swadian heavy calvary had already urged their horses to accelerate. The sound of the horseshoe knocking on the Stone Road began to reverberate in the ancient passage like rolling thunder.

Even the splashing sound of the subterranean river was completely covered.

At the same time, in the darkness of the ancient passage, there was a low growl that seemed to have sensed that something was wrong.

The demonized creatures were lying in ambush.

However, in the short distance of 300 meters, the Swadian man-at-arms had already entered the posture of charging at full force. The rumbling thunder sounded under the feet of their warhorse. With a violent charge that swept through everything, they instantly entered the peak charging moment, the Sharp Lance drooped down directly. The awe-inspiring tip of the Lance was pointed at a spot that was less than half a meter above the ground.

As long as an enemy appeared in this position, the sharp and sturdy tip of the lance, with the support of inertia and strength, would instantly pierce through the seemingly tough bodies of several demonized creatures that were actually still flesh and blood!

And this was not the beginning, nor was it the only one.

Right behind the 188 Swadian heavy calvary, the mage apprentices raised their magic staffs.

"Sharp Golden Blades!"

After muttering a few words in a low voice, a golden light instantly bloomed between the magic staffs.

Moreover, it enveloped the heavy cavalry at the front row.

Even the darkness was dispelled a little bit. The demonized creatures that had their eyes closed and were lying in ambush a hundred meters away could be vaguely seen standing up with their teeth bared. They opened their scarlet eyes and began to attack crazily.

However, this was only a short moment.

"For Swadia!"

The front row of the Swadian heavy calvary roared furiously.

The tip of the lance in their hands was on the sharp tip of the lance. At this moment, it was covered with a layer of faint golden light.

However, they did not seem to notice it.

However, when they were charging forward, the two sides were closing in on each other at an extremely fast speed.

The sharp lance was like a hot knife cutting into cold butter. It easily pierced through the tough fur, tore through the strong muscles, and directly stabbed out from the back, bringing with it the terrifying power of charging forward, it continued to fiercely stab into the bodies of the demonized creatures behind, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through them again!

After approaching three demonized creatures in a row, they were unable to stabilize due to their weight. They could only let go of the lance and pull out their sharp hand-and-a-half swords, slashing wildly from top to bottom.

"Sharp Golden Blades!"

But behind them, golden light reappeared in an instant.

Another wizard apprentice raised the staff in his hand and chanted a few words to use his spell slot.

Although they had not experienced actual combat, as a military power, the Emfath Empire had a lot of military training for these wizard apprentices. Otherwise, they would not be able to fight against other races with an ordinary army.

And how the mage apprentices cast spells at the critical moment was the most important part of the training!

Golden light flashed.

On the battlefield at the front, the hands of nearly twenty swadian man-at-arms, which were still swinging their swords, suddenly emitted a faint golden light. The moment they slashed down, they easily cut through the tough scales, even the fragile backbone was about to be directly cut off, a fatal blow!

The hooves of the warhorses rumbled and shook. The warhorses that were fully armored to their calves were top-class warhorses that had been tempered by the battlefield. These warhorses that were fully armored charged forward without any fear, knocking away any demonized creatures that blocked their way.

Those sharp fangs and claws could not cause any damage to these warhorses at all.

Although there were flax outer layers that were torn and ripped apart.

Occasionally, some of the tight shackles on the chain armor were torn off.

However, the warhorses did not suffer any casualties. They continued to run forward in a frenzy, crashing down the demonized creatures in front of them. At the same time, they used their entire weight to stomp down on the heavily injured demonized creatures, turning them into a pile of mud!

The torches swayed as they charged forward. The light turned from dark to almost dark.

When it was over.

The torches burned steadily.

The light illuminated the surroundings.

It was still the same old tunnel deep underground, and the darkness condensed from ancient times at the end. However, the scarlet and green eyes of the demonized creature were gone. Only the snorting of the warhorse and the rapid breathing of the riders could be heard.

In addition, the miserable howls behind them gradually weakened.

Complete victory.
