Chronicles of Ryan the Wizard

Chapter 355 Homecoming (2)

Orlando took the lead and ran toward the Clay cavalry group 300 meters away. The heavy cavalry launched a charge. It had to adjust for a certain distance to allow the horses to reach their maximum speed from a stationary state, and then maintain this speed to crash into the opponent’s. Cause the greatest lethality in the position.As an experienced commander, Orlando naturally does not rush at full speed at the beginning. He does not hurriedly pick up his beloved horse, and let the horses step on small steps to maintain a balance. Not a fast forward speed.

In the distance, the feather arrows fired by the Clay cavalrymen were like rain. They flew toward Orlando. They bounced off the golden armor on Orlando and fell to the ground, while Orlando was like in the back garden of their home. Walking through the dense rain of arrows like a walk in the drizzle.

Behind Orlando, the 500 holy knights were exactly the same as Orlando did. The dull and messy horse hooves of the whole team came and went one after another, and then these sounds slowly integrated together.When the entire royal knight traveled about 50 meters, all the horses under the holy knight’s seat had already stepped on the same shattered steps as the horse riding in Orlando. The messy hooves were gone, replaced by A neat, rhythmic rhythm, like a snare drum struck by an infantry phalanx as it advances.

If it weren't for hearing it personally, no one would believe that a whole 500 horses could do this while running, even those Clay herders who had been riding on horseback for a lifetime.

The sound of horseshoes became louder and louder, and it was getting closer and closer to the Clay fighters.Originally, the Clay fighters didn’t take Orlando and them very seriously, because the difference in the numbers of the two sides is too big, 500 to 10,000. As long as the commander with a more normal mind, I’m afraid they will flee in the first place. , Or leaving a small number of troops desperately to cover the evacuation of the large troops, but Orlando even launched a charge without hesitation.

The leaders of the more than 10,000 Clay light cavalry showed a contemptuous expression on their faces. He whispered: "Hey, it's called undefeated, is it really blown from the mouth?"

However, even though the cavalry leader said so, his eyes still looked at Orlando and the charge, because according to the heavy cavalry charge process, they would jog at the beginning and then gradually accelerate, generally about 200 meters away from the target. When the speed is increased to the highest point, then through this 200-meter full-speed sprint, forcibly assault the opponent's formation, and the cavalry leader has to take his cavalry, and always keep a distance of about 200 meters from those knights. , Shooting while running, and when these knights are exhausted, it is time for them to fight back.

After Orlando's 500 holy knights have fully integrated into their own rhythm, they began to manipulate the horses to speed up. The assault formation formed by the entire holy knights under the leadership of Orlando has gradually become a sharp triangle. At the forefront of this triangle, It was Orlando himself, who held the gun.

When Orlando was running fast, a golden halo suddenly appeared on the body. This golden halo was relatively thin at the beginning. It was just floating in Orlando for the trial, but as the horse under Orlando's speed increased, This golden halo is getting brighter and getting thicker, and finally becomes a beam of light rising into the sky.

After the golden beam of light flew high, it splashed around like a fountain, spilled down, and spilled on all the sacred knights behind Orlando. Every sacred knight bathed in a golden halo also emitted a bright light. Halo, and keep flashing.When all the holy knights were enveloped in this golden yellow, the light that was originally just bright golden yellow became stronger and stronger under the sharp flicker, and finally turned into a dazzling light, reflecting the dark earth It's like the day.

The leader of the Clay light cavalry stared at the holy knight 200 meters away in surprise. Because it was already dark at the moment, and the dazzling light gleamed in the distance, the eyes of these Clay people who were watching were inevitably affected. Many people are temporarily blind.The leader thought this was a unique skill of the Royal Knights, but then again, if it hits the general infantry phalanx, the sudden flashing of such a light will really make the soldiers who concentrate on forming the gun formation dizzy.

Seeing the Royal Knights enter the area 200 meters away from its own, the chief of the Clay cavalry gave orders to shoot while running. The cavalry of the Clay also pulled up the reins of their horses, preparing to steer the horses to turn around. But at this moment, the mutation happened.

The golden light on the 500 Royal Knights led by Orlando suddenly mastered. The Cavalry of the Clay clan no longer saw the originally clear knights in the light, and those lights were changing rapidly, and soon formed A mighty lion, this lion stretched out its limbs, ran forward with all its strength, and uttered a silent roar up to the sky.

After the lion transformed from the golden light roared, the charging speed of the entire Royal Knights changed strangely. Their speed had already reached the speed of normal horses, but the moment the lion roared, the holy knight Our charge speed has accelerated more than ten times.

Under the leadership of Orlando, the entire holy knight’s assault route was slightly changed, and a small arc was drawn. In just a few seconds, it crossed a distance of 200 meters and forcibly entered from the side. In the Clay cavalry group who had not had time to run.

At the moment when the holy knights broke into the Clay warrior, the golden light disappeared. Orlando and his 500 subordinates were revealed. 500 sharp spears stabbed into the Clay cavalry. In the body, coupled with the impact of the speedy running, the corpses of those Clay fighters who had no protection on their bodies were put on the spears, and then they stabbed the Clay fighters behind, and then Their bodies were also worn on the spear...

The heavy cavalry charged with terrifying speed broke into the light cavalry position that was completely unprotected, just as if the wind blows the branches, and immediately destroyed the latter’s looser formation. The light cavalry formation of the Clay was completely destroyed. The shock formation of the Holy Knight easily ploughed a crack. Any Clay light cavalry warrior who stood in the way of the Holy Knight’s assault was not pierced on the battle spear raised by the Holy Knight, and then could not withstand the huge impact. The force turned into fragments, that is, the man and the horse were immediately hit and flew, and then fell heavily to the ground, and then was trampled over.

Ten seconds later, Orlando and the Holy Knights only felt the pressure on their hands lightened. They had broken through the formation of more than 10,000 Clay light cavalry. Orlando lightly pulled the reins and took their men around in a circle. , And pointed the horse's head at the chaotic Clay light cavalry.

The leader of the Cavalry of the Clay was shot under the horse by Orlando in the first charge, and he did not know how many times he was stepped on him. At this moment, he did not even have any dregs left, and lost the command of the Clay fighter. They seem to be very flustered, they can no longer take care of the mission of their own trip, but subconsciously urge the horses according to their own ideas, wanting to run around.However, in the first charge of the Holy Knight, only 3000 Clay light cavalry were killed at most. The remaining 7000 Clay warriors were not able to disperse quickly. On the contrary, because of everyone’s direction. Interference, leading to chaos in the formation, and entangled together.

Orlando certainly won't miss such a good opportunity, so the lion transformed by the golden light roared once again, and the holy knights turned into the cold north wind, as if blowing away fallen leaves to harvest the Clay warriors again. Life, although Orlando led only 500 holy knights, less than one-twentieth of the opponents, but like a lion driving the edelweiss in the formation of the Clay clan, although the opponents are numerous, But they can only drive their horses to escape. Although there are a few brave Clay fighters who want to work hard, how can they stop the assault of the holy knights that have merged into a whole with their personal strength?

When Orlando once again penetrated the position of the Clay cavalry, he slowly controlled his horse and stopped slowly.Seeing the Clay cavalry fleeing in the distance, Orlando lifted the mask on the helmet, revealing a slightly exhausted face. Although the enemy's same enemy is extremely powerful, the energy that can be consumed is quite large, not to mention the use of Orlando. Fighting the holy knight's unique skill "Roar of the King" even consumed a lot of his physical strength.

In just 3 minutes, Orlando led the Holy Knights to charge seven times against the Clay cavalry positions, causing at least 8,000 casualties of opponents. Those Clay fighters who were able to flee around, Most of them were on the periphery, so they managed to escape.

The painful screams of the Clay fighters and the neighing of the horses before their deaths were heard on the battlefield. The enemy's such huge damage was caused by Orlando's 500 subordinates. This can be called a brilliant Victory, but Orlando didn't mean to be happy at all. Instead, his heart was very heavy.

The Clay Clan, who had always succumbed to it, sent troops to stop his party from returning to the imperial capital at this critical moment. Was it coincidence or premeditated?Orlando has no way of knowing the answer.If it is the latter, it means that there are spies of the Clay clan in the Thor Fortress, and the status is not low, and the Clay clan attacked his party at such a sensitive time. What is their purpose?

Orlando shook his head lightly, leaving these meaningless thoughts behind. The top priority now is to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible. It has been seven days since Fernando XIII was killed, and his return journey will take at least two days. Three nights, time is running out, what else is waiting for that distant dark place?
