The Amber Sword

A sharp whistle echoed in the dense woods, followed by a dense, heavy stride swept by like a wind, the ground trembling with the sound of a metal impact.

“Look, over there! ”

“Those monsters are catching up! ”

“Stop them and don't let them catch up with Ms. Veronica! ”

The knights shouted, "The leader is Faina, dressed in a uniform." She looked across the staggered hilly valley, and at the far point of the mountain-to-mountain junction, a group of creatures covered in dark, sunken crystalline crusts appeared.

That's the most common category of monsters, upstream power in silver, fast, only slightly slower than the Empire's light cavalry. The point is that they tend to act as the vanguard of that monster army, and once they get caught up in it, the main force behind them will keep coming and dragging all of them down here.

From Simez to Mekhotophen, countless times over the past six months, the survivors have finally figured out the details of these enemies, despite how many victories and fewer defeats they have won. While the Krutz can no longer muster the courage to wage a duel against this horrible army at the moment, the squad is no problem.

Not to mention the elite, folding knights of the Imperial Knight.

“Just don't get caught up in them.” Fiina had a plot in her heart, and she raised her sword, a dragon belly, and rushed to the lead troops of the cluster.

“Knights, come with me! ”

The nobleman Jinjin's forefathers lit up the pride in the accompanying knights, who cried out: "Kill -! ”

And then it went straight down. Hundreds of meters passed by, Fiina with the dragon first rushed into the formation of the cluster, the grammar array on her armor first lit up, first the white magic missile, then the flame thorn: the white beam of light swept into the cluster as if it were a flying needle spur, the clusters poured down one piece together, then the clusters that jumped on the top of the burning thorns that were clustered around the Fiina horse, immediately blowing apart.

Faina sliced a sword over one of the seemingly magnificent clusters, then raised her left hand in the other direction, the formation on her guard slightly lit, a fireball flew out towards a dense cluster of monsters, the flickering flames exploded in the dark to form a bright golden sphere, and the knights saw countless clusters lifted over the sky.

The knights marveled at the perfect blend of Faina's magical gift and swordsmanship at this moment. If Brando were here, he would be amazed at how this young lady has grown in battle skills. The mouth on the front of the cluster opened instantly, and the knight behind him swarmed in and continued to expand his victory.

Such a scene often occurs in East Mets' wartime, but the Cruz 'strengths often do not last long, and the clusters can complement the qualitative weaknesses with quantitative strengths, even if the Knights of the Folds are far better than them, both individually and tacitly, not to mention in high-end strength.

Faina knew that they had to run in order to play the Knight of the Folds. She tried to move forward and cut all the monsters in front of her head under the sword. Good thing this is not the main force of the Cluster Army. Without such monsters as many as the sea, the superiority of quality quickly took over the absolute situation.

All of a sudden, Faina realized that they had succeeded in turning around - the victory was on the horizon and only needed a little more effort.

“Run, run!” Fiina shouted loudly, with a loud gasp in her voice, that she had been exhausted by successive battles after nightfall, which was precisely the strategy of the Cluster Army. Those monsters were rigid in battle, as if they had no brains, but there was a wise will behind them to lead them, as evidenced by the many battles along the way from East Metz to here.

But the last knights could no longer escape, they were in fact exhausted, and Faina watched as the monsters crashed onto the back of the dragon, pulling the young knights off the saddle, and her heart darkened for a while. She bit her lower lip tightly and somehow suddenly remembered another face.

“Am I gonna die here, hillbilly, that bad guy? ”

The Folding Knight finally ran away, distancing himself from the clusters of armies chasing behind him.

Faina was looking for a chance to turn around and kill back into the enemy formation, and suddenly a few bright flashes were lit in the darkness ahead. One, two or three fire marks crossed the heads of the knights, leaving a golden red debris in their sight, and they turned around and just as they saw a cluster of fire bursting in that direction in the clusters of monsters.

The ground shook and the heat swept.

Farina's orders are no longer needed this time, and the knights turn around automatically and kill back into the enemy line. The already heavily traumatized Cluster Leader is harder to resist, and after three strikes back and forth, no monster standing on the ground can be seen on the battlefield in the valley.

Cluster layers of corpses covered the valley, the knights stopped and sat down to rest. Some people fell down and the saddle seat of the dragon was softened to the ground, as if they no longer had the strength to stand.

But there are also people who are looking for something in the remains of the clusters, and some of the clusters will be accompanied by magic crystals, which is an important means for magicians to regain their spiritual power at this moment.

The night wind blew down the ridge, blew away the ashes and smoke on the battlefield, the broken and rotten flag of the Knights of the Folding Sword flew with the wind, and Faina also jumped off her mount and rested on the firm right rear limb of the dragon. She opened the kettle before she could see it in the hills in the middle and far away of the darkness. Several magicians in silver robes were waving at them, indicating that they were hurrying to catch up.

It was a Buga apprentice in a grey robe, and Fiina recalled what had happened in her confused mind. Although she did not know that it was the Buga who had supported them and the dragon with strategic spells on the battlefield in East Metz, she did not expect the leader of the secret lawyers, Rhoan, to come here to receive them personally. It was one of the twelve wizard leaders of the Silver Alliance, the legendary figure, who was said to have been injured in Eruin some time ago, but it looked almost healed now.

Faina couldn't figure out what was going on to hurt such a horrible existence, and the first thing she could think of was if it had anything to do with that bad guy. But this time Miss Thousand Kings was quite right, Roan was injured in an adventure with Brando to the Dead Frost Forest because of Starr's 'Tsar Bomb’, but he was strong, but the district had been wounded again for months.

There was also a golden dragon accompanying Roan, and Faina recognized the mature woman, Aksharopea, who had become a human figure and fought alongside the Cruz in East Metz, one of the few giant dragons fortunate enough to escape that day.

The Buga did not know how to convince Veronica and the Crown Prince to take the southern foothills of the Arkash Mountains and enter the Four Realms through this road in the Arca region. However, this inevitably leads to encounters with the Cluster Army, which has been struggling extremely hard at night, and to the virtual depletion of the only remaining morale of the Krutz.

It is precisely for this reason that several dukes did not dare let the nobles' private armies walk behind them, lest they collapse when pursued by the clusters' tails, and as a result the Black Legion and the Folding Knights had to stay behind.

Fortunately, there is assistance from the Buga, otherwise the battle will be won separately.

Faina took a deep breath and the cold air infiltrated her lungs, irritating her almost coughing up. She glanced at the distance, a shadow flashed in the Buga magician of the gray robe, rushing in this direction, the shadow carrying the robe, running from far and close to her, then a flying head stuck in her arms:

“Sis! ”

“Elise,” Fiina said harshly, "what are you doing here? ”

“Sister, I want to help you,” Elise raised her hands: “Look, Sister, I am also a magician, even the Bukas praise me for my gift of magic. ”

“Bullshit, you should stay with the teacher, that's where you should go! ”

It was about unexpected that Fayna's reaction was so intense that the little girl's eyes immediately covered with mist: “Sister, I... I'm worried about you and my father and brother... how can I stay behind alone? ”

Faina had a soft heart, when did she ever taste otherwise? She remembers meeting that bad guy in the rings of the wind, when she didn't think she was rude at all, she just thought that the vile hillbilly was so annoying.

But now that I think about it, those are warm memories.

She reached out and rubbed her sister's long blonde hair. Both my brother and father were on separate battlefields, and all of Mehotofen's power was invested in this escape battle to determine the life and survival of the Empire, precisely to protect those who wanted it.

“Elise, listen, I'm not dangerous here, but you can't distract me, okay? ”

“Really, sister? ”

“Of course, I'm Veronica's proudest disciple, an imperial genius. How could anything happen here? Ask them. ”

She turned her eyes to the Folding Knights. Although she was not a member of the Folding Knights, most of the members of the Folding Knights were cultivated by the Blue Sword Holy Hand. The young people laughed and did not comment on Miss Qianjin's self-bragging.

In the face of these lazy guys, Faina can only sigh. In fact, she is lying. The army has just entered the periphery of Arca. Historically, the Kingdom of God had a war here with the wind elves and the Fanzans. The terrain is wide and easy for the cluster army to chase, at least not until after passing through the mouth of Odos.

Until then, there are at least a few hard wars to fight, and no one dares to say who can sustain them until the end.
