The Amber Sword

(Book friends, please vote for Black's new book, "Disaster Comes." He's not much ahead of the new book. Thanks for your help.

The page turned loud in the dark and the Thurling Autumn wind crossed the empty streets, and the announcement that the Tosancado mining area had been attacked three months earlier by unidentified bandits seemed to have been drawn by an invisible hand, fanning its wings like a butterfly on the bulletin board along with several wanted warrants. Militias and guards are roaming the streets like flies without heads, screaming loudly, pointy whistles, thundering the town at night. The bells above the central temple spire of the town finally swept over everyone's heads as the locals swung back and the nightmare of midnight terror flashed with a disturbing omen. However, in an atmosphere of panic, there are still those who are frightened, and Channelly, dressed in the uniform of the White Wings Cavalry Regiment, leaning against the walls outside the City Hall, looks indifferently at a young couple not far from the street, separated.

“Lonnie, you take this. I hear Sven Fano is cold. You can use it.” Juveniles in security uniforms shoved thick fur coats into the hands of young girls in carriages with concern. Most of the people in that carriage were silent and silent, only the girl was pale and grabbed the teenager's hand dead: "Ivan, aren't you coming with us? ”

The teenager laughed: "Lonnie, I am a member of the Guard, ordered by Her Royal Highness to swear allegiance to this kingdom and to His Majesty the future King. It is my responsibility to protect this land and protect you, and I will be with you shortly. And besides --” He pulled out his sword, and the blade of the blade shook in his head was cold, “my swordsmanship was one of the best in the guard force, and those bone skeletons were nothing to be afraid of, Lonnie. Wait, I'll do something like Knight Bryson and Count Tony Gehl. ”

The girl stared at him with her lips tight, another hurried whistle sounded across the street, the teenager looked back and quickly turned her head to pat the girl on the back of her hand: “The instructor is rushing us, you wait for me in Sven Fano, don't worry, it's just some sporadic Madara army, their main force is still Butch on the hill, the knights of the White Wings Cavalry have told us a long time ago, this battle is no big deal. ”

The girl nodded in tears.

Chenery looked back a little bored and caught a glimpse of her companion walking out of the courtyard in the city hall with her own horse, and he immediately asked, "Did the captain convince them?” 'Those light-hearted guys. ”The knight leaves her mouth open and answers coldly. Chenery knew that this was persuasion, but I'm afraid the process of persuasion wasn't very pleasant —— it was a shallow bunch of guys, with only immediate interests in their eyes —— and he agreed with that, but they didn't try it on their own, and nobody ever said that the good guys in the Van Meer Legion were warrior generations, but, on the contrary, they had a bad reputation locally. He grabbed the saddle, rolled over and swept backwards with his hand, so that the cape and the sword hanging between his waist were not on the horseback side, and he overturned and saw Rosa doing the same thing.

Both of them are old cavalry, they both went through that fierce war a year ago, Chenery still remembers the scene when she launched her attack on the infinite skull sea, in the night, looking at, eyes everywhere only a sparkling sea of phosphorous fire, such a spectacular scene, think about it makes people feel cold from the bones, in that battle, many people are said to have been stabbed by spears because they were scared to slow down. But after familiarizing themselves with the battle against Madara, it became apparent that bone skeletons were much less powerful than an adult human being.

However, he was impressed by the army, which was not afraid, was not tired, and never retreated.

Chenery touched the scar on her cheek and asked, "Where are you going? ”

“Meet our troops.” Rosa grabbed the reins, clamped the belly slightly, and ran out first. Chenery had to catch up with the horses, but suddenly, a tsunami swept over their heads, shocking the tiles on the roofs on both sides of the street.

He raised his head subconsciously.

Ivan grabbed his sword and was turning to the rally point. A sudden tsunami stopped the teenager and looked up in dismay. The southern part of the town was in the dark, and the light of countless star points was slowly rising. These stars rose halfway up into the sky, clustered together, and then suddenly scattered, like turning birds, and at that moment, the teenager finally understood what it was ——

“Cover-! ”

Somewhere there was a terrible scream, the rocket had fallen like a rain point, there were some pedestrians fleeing north in the street. At this moment, it fell like a stump of wood in an arrow rain. The magically quenched cold arrow penetrated the fragile body, and the attached soul burned like oil, turning the victim into a struggling fire group. Only a few of the faster responders survived, Ivan being one of them, and the long training of the Guard ultimately saved his life, he didn't even know how to react, and by the time he returned to God, his body had fallen on the doorstep of a pottery workshop. He raised his head slightly and saw a hanging sign not far from the workshop door that had been pierced by several arrows, slowly swallowed by the dark blue flames.

“What's the matter? ”

He turned back, and the streets covered with stone slabs seemed to suddenly give rise to a weed, the tailfeather of a dense numbness arrow, the corpse, the frightened almost collapsed inhabitants, the burning debris, as if instantly turning the whole town into hell, Ivan stared at it all. And at this time, the second tsunami swept over the entire town, shaking the ground slightly, and in his sight, a winged creature he'd never seen whistled its wings, flying over the spire of the town's central temple.

……

White Wings Cavalry 7th Squadron Cavalier Captain Gecky was so stuck there, he tried to grab his own knife several times, but they all grabbed a blank. Less than 100 meters away in front of him, countless white bone arms are lifting the dirt out of the ground, then the phosphorus burning skull in the orbit, then the clavicle, the shoulder armor and the entire upper body, countless skulls are crawling out of the ground one after the other, shaking the dirt blocks on the armor of the sinking understeel lock, holding a long bow in his hand, one after the other standing up, walking forward, walking to a predetermined position, then raising the long bow, the arrows on the long bow burning a bunch of ghost flames, as if for a moment, just in front of him a complete long archer position appeared.

Almost all the knights seemed overwhelmed by Gecky's side, as he looked in all directions, and the scene before him did not just happen in front of them, in front of the entire Hillman Valley, everywhere. Under night, the phosphorus fire on the arrow of the skeleton archer forms a continuous light belt that runs from west to east and cannot be seen to its end.

But the question is, how did they get here? Where did those guys die? How the hell did these skeletons get around the defensive line? Did it come from underground?

Everyone has such deep questions in their hearts.

But for Gecky, these questions are now coming together as a major problem ——

What should we do?

When the second wave of arrow rain fell from the sky, Walter, deputy commander of the White Wings Cavalry Corps, who was almost frightened, finally reacted, realizing that it was in no way harassment. Even in the Black Rose War, he had never seen so many skeletal archers, and Madara's dark lords preferred to divide their armies into small teams, each commanding one another. Generally speaking, a group of corpse witches usually commanded ten to twelve skeletons - depending on how many corpse witches and black knights they had under their command. This pattern of battle is like a knight leading their squire to battle, and only in a large battle can you often see hundreds of dead witches driving tens of thousands of skeletons to face like a tsunami, which is the scene that the human army is most afraid to see, but fortunately, such opportunities are rare even for that black rose in Bromando, and first of all, not mentioning the fact that bringing thousands of dead witches together is a difficult thing in itself, and often requires a lot of lords to work together to do it —— but this is just one of the hardest things to happen in Madara.

So when Walter saw thousands of skeleton shooters on that long front, the first reaction was to be fooled, with at least three or four dark lords fighting side by side and working together. At this point he realized, even more foolishly, that this seemingly more difficult passage for Hillman was precisely the direction of Madara's main attack, and immediately after realizing that, he thought, "What now? How do we solve the current battle? Can you fix it?

The only thing he was fortunate enough to command was the cavalry, which had at least one advantage in mobility and impact over the regular skeleton fighters of Madara, who, although also black knights, were too small to play a decisive role in the battle. The deputy chief soon calmed down and Madara's raid came too suddenly, these damn bone skeletons suddenly appeared from underground, almost instantly in front of them, with no time to react at all, and a large cavalry outside him was finished. Though not all of them had been exterminated from the outset, they had been dragged dispersed into positions, virtually unbuilt and disjointed from each other, and would soon lose their will to fight. Walter was familiar with his men, so he would not expect any miracles, but he had two more battalions.

That's enough.

“Herald!” He finally made up his mind and shouted.

An order was passed out in chaos, and as the two remaining cavalry battalions in the Hillman Valley were gathering to attack the left wing of the Skull Archer Archer, the first Battalion of the White Wing Cavalry had been completely plunged into chaos, as Walter predicted. First Battalion Cavalry Commander, Golden Medium Grand Cavalry Galin was unluckily shot in the first wave of arrow rain and killed instantly. After that, Skull Army suddenly climbed out of the ground and appeared in front of them, dragged the first cavalry battalion directly into the chaos. After only half an hour of battle, Fourth Squadron was wiped out. Seventh Squadron Cavalry Captain Gecky was killed. Eighth Squadron Cavalry Captain Opam was seriously injured and unconscious. The remaining Supreme Commander landed on Eighth Squadron Lieutenant Portland. This man had no idea, and simply led the army into Owl Town, so Madara Army was completely unblocked.

The remaining two cavalry battalions were immediately exposed under the assault arrow--

Walter was so angry to see such a scene on the highlands that he had dragged Opam out many times in his heart, but unfortunately his anger was not helpful at the moment. It was too late to reclaim the order, and he could only hope that Madara would react less quickly and not turn on the battlefield in such a short period of time. Or better yet, one or two of his own men can withstand a wave of attacks and just kill into the skeleton archer's position, so it's done. They are cavalry, and they are only infantry.

If this is the Black Rose War, maybe the White Wings Cavalry has collapsed, but it's a good thing it's been a year since the war, and this year is reserved for everyone who's been through that terrible war to lick their wounds. Those terrible dead spirits in the minds of the veterans are now just ugly bone skeletons, not synonymous with death, and they are not even as fearless as ordinary human soldiers, without the fear of their roots, the black rose of Bromandow, which is just a slightly more special adversary.

Walter thought about it, holding his lips, "Martha bless, time is not just changing Maddalene.” He thought silently in his heart.

It is true, too.

A group of lighting magic blew up on the position, illuminating hundreds of marching cavalry sharp arrows and the last distance between them and Madara Skull Army. In the slow marching cavalry, the magician was flying one after the other from behind the cavalry, leaving the horseback, floating in the middle of the air. Although their spell exposed the white wing cavalry to the range of the skull archers, the cavalry was preparing for a final accelerated sprint, and it was almost impossible to carry out such a tactic in dark conditions. Although there were legends that some of the cavalry might be able to do so, the commanders of the white wing cavalry were complacent about their subordinates.

Second Cavalry Battalion Cavalry Chief Vance was feeling that the good boys on the horseback of one horse over the other were outpacing himself, in fact, the entire Second Cavalry Battalion was in an accelerating state, less than a hundred meters apart, the first cavalry battalion, the cavalry commanded by Valerie was a little closer than they were, and their task was to kill a passage in the sea of skeletons so that they could get rid of the skeletons behind the massacre, and he suddenly felt lighter -- a sign that wind magic worked on him and his horses, thanks to all sorts of strange magic, so that their cavalry could strike at night in such a rugged terrain, and these tactics were summed up in the Black Rose War.

Until then, the army of the Kingdom had been guided by the experience gained from the first Jihad, old-fashioned and archaic, and in fact unsuitable for warfare outside the human race.

The war was fair to both sides, and the Madara in front might be stronger than ever, but they weren't the same, “Let's see, goddamn bone skeleton!” He waved a long sword with some excitement. Cavalry tactics are the greatest invention ever invented by civilization. When you are personally involved, the front and back are Mercedes-Benz horses and knights covered with armoured, two-handed swords, all of which form an irresistible steel flood forward, it is absolutely addictive for every participant to feel as if they are personally harnessing this extraordinary power.

And for Vance, it doesn't make any difference.

Arrow rain began to fall, Tinker Bell fell on the armor, with little effect. The horses of the cavalry were not close relatives of the horses, and the monsters of taming were closer to the unicorns in descent, but not as powerful as their relatives in the forest, yet far more than ordinary beasts. As a result, the impact forces on the arrows are mitigated by thick armor and then transferred to them, with minimal impact.

The knights in the front have started making strange noises.

At this distance, it's time to prepare for the spell, Corpse Witch spell. But the magicians in the back are ready to go, and this is the last level, and once broken, the irresistible Skull Army is ahead. In the Black Rose War, few armies dared to strike so positively against a skeleton army like the sea, but today, in different days, the mysterious coat worn on this army had long since faded because of the accumulation of time after the war, especially in the case of veterans who had participated in the first war, there were only bone skeletons in front of them, new hatred was in front of them, and they held their breath to teach each other a lesson. The junior officers are also shouting and exhaling the recruits. Everyone understands one thing: they are a cavalry, and the other is just an infantry. Infantry cannot pursue the cavalry, whether the impact fails or not.

The only thing to worry about is not to be dragged down.

And the Black Knight...

Fortunately, however, the Skeleton Army is dispersed and the other commander appears to have little experience. And Vance didn't see the shadow of the Black Knight, who was so prominent with their nightmare in such an environment that he didn't care where it was hidden, the whole valley was wide open, and the nearest hills were kilometers away, don't worry about their sudden appearance. Vance took a look and finally relieved herself.

The only thing that made him wonder.

The anticipated spell strike did not arrive.

“What's Madara's commander up to?” He was a little confused and couldn't help but look up in Valerie's direction: “They're already missing their last chance...”
