The Amber Sword: Act 218 The Battle of the River Bank (2)
The 218th Battle of the River Bank (Part Two)
scouts in the forest crossed the river one after another, and news about all aspects of the military of Pallas Knight came back. Brando young Wizard attendant Ciel is now wearing robe, holding magic staff standing on the sentry tower, looking far north, and then looking back behind him, saying: "The downsizing is more serious than expected, and the scout loss rate for the north Above 40% to 50%. These are all veterans of ample experience. Within three days, we lost at least 50 people, and there were three times more wounded. "
At the end, he added: "If I'm Lord Thane's, then I'll just roll over and run."
"So you are not Lord Thane." Elven Princess in silver armor glanced at him and replied indifferently. Medissa wore a spire top helmet unique to Silver Elf, with a small face wrapped in it, lips tightly pinched and looking heroic.
"He has cleaned up our scout, is there any conspiracy?"
"Maybe not, simply because Pallas knew that we had Troglodyte in hand, he didn't want to be attacked on the flank during the fight. He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Knight Minteye." Medissa replied.
"It's really hard to deal with." Ciel shook his head, his brows were almost frowning: "I don't know if it can be dragged on for three days."
Radnor army has arrived --
"Someone in the forest!"
The first reflection appeared in the forest. A Knight wearing a armour appeared in the forest across the river. Later, more troops appeared behind him. The Knight severely inserted the flagpole in his hand into the soft mud within the earth on the riverbank under his feet, and a Emblem flag with a blue background opened up against the wind.
Pallas' Hound family emblem.
"To the north and east ...!"
"A lot."
Soldiers in red and blue robes rush out in the forest, with no fewer than a thousand people. "They are going to siege?" Ciel saw an archer shooting an arrow far away from the Gris River. arrow(s) was about fifty steps away from the earth wall and fell on river bank weakly.
Medissa shook his head, the other side was measuring the distance. They may attack it tentatively, but they should observe it for a while before that.
As the youngest Princess of Silver Elf, Medissa has not experienced much warfare compared to other ethnic groups. The atmosphere before the war not only did not make her nervous, but there was a familiar kind, but there were too few enemies.
Too few enemies, Silver Elf Girl shook his head.
Medissa is not wrong. At this moment, it is far above a hill a kilometer away. Pallas stands on horseback like a sharp sword. The Grudin's most trusted family member was surrounded by Knight. He pressed the hilt of his sword, and his eyes in the sunken eyes were gazing at the distant river bank as if he were hawkish.
Pallas' is the oldest of all Grudin family members. Although they have a personal relationship with Knight Minteye, the age of the two is very different. Knight Minteye is in its prime, but Pallas already is white. The old Knight can be said to have gone through hundreds of battles. Although his fame can't be transmitted as far as Ampere Searl and Bucce, among Trentheim's Barbarian Tribe mountain people, it is a character that can stop children crying.
The Gris River ferry is nearby, and Pallas has been here once or twice before. He remembered that the opposite bank of the river was a flat grass field, but the scenery he saw now made him suspect that his already old-eyed dazzling -- lush forest completely covered the ferry. Only the shallows that extended from the other side of the forest to the estuary proved that they had come to the wrong place. This season is the season when the Correct Gris River has the lowest water level. Even infantry can cross the icy river and cross the river from the shallows of the Gris Ferry. There seems to be fortifications in the forest in the distance. The sentry towers on the treetop layer can prove this. -- is just when there was a forest here. Pallas remember that the last time I came here was just two or three years ago, but the forest on the other side It doesn't look like it can grow between two or three years.
The towering ancient tree requires at least two or three people to hold together, and it is more than ten meters in height, let alone two or three years.
"There is a fortress across the river, and the sentry said that he saw an earthen wall. This forest at least shows that the rumor that Druid is serving the rebels is true." An aide said beside Pallas.
"Druid has a way to make the forest become like this in a short period of time? Is this Illusion spell or a forest transplanted from elsewhere?" Pallas saw the forest in front of it, and it was clearly a primitive forest, easy to defend and hard to attack, It would be incredible if Druid had such ability; even if this forest was transplanted from other places, it would not be easy to plant it in a short time. Although he has not seen Magic, most of the spells exhibited by wizard are fleeting. Although powerful, they are not unacceptable.
But this forest is just in front of it. The area stretches for at least ten miles, and it really appears in front of them. It is neither Illusion spell nor illusion.
The people around Knight didn't say anything. Druid is a mysterious group. No one can say what they will do. Even in most legends, whether Druid will perform spell or not will say two things, one saying that Druid is good at domesticating animals to fight for them, and another saying that Druids will become a powerful animal fight, like Lycanthropes same.
But Pallas quickly called the accompanying Wizard to explain the problem to them. The older wizard was surprised when they heard that the forest in front of them appeared out of thin air. Druid can accelerate plant growth. , But definitely not so powerful.
The opposite side can build such a large forest in a short period of time, or it means that the number of Druid owned by the other party is amazing. Or it means that the Druid who works for the opponent is at least the level of the Druid master of Sky Circle. Master Druid is similar to the leader of Wizard in Silver Alliance. To say that there is such a person existence under Brando, Pallas does not believe it, so he asks: "How many Druid do you need to build such a forest in a few months?" >
"A few months !?" wizard screamed, and almost walked away without turning around: "For a few months to build such a forest, at least thousands of people will be spellcast together."
"Thousands? This is impossible. The rebels don't have thousands in all." Knight countered.
"It means that the opponent has Druid master existence, or a ring consisting of thirty High Druid. The ring is a unit used by Druids. The ring consisting of thirty High Druid is already not inferior in a real army. "wizard replied gloomily.
"This is not right. If the other party is so strong, they still use it to sit here?"
"Is it impossible for this forest to be Illusion spell?" Pallas interrupted the dispute and asked with a little knowledge of Magic. The wizard actually thought of this, but before he had time to speak, the deputy on the side shook his head.
"Our soldier already has tried, at least all of the foregoing are true."
"Ten miles along the river, it's just that the already in front is not easy." After hearing wizard, he shook his head.
"Can you attack with fire?" someone asked.
"The other party has so many Druids, they can be easily extinguished even with fire attacks. Don't forget, they are the guardians of the forest and are far more skilled at dealing with fires than you." wizard replied.
"Anyway, try it anyway," Pallas calmly made the decision: "Let the soldiers prepare fire arrows for a tentative attack. Regardless of success or failure, they will camp in place and let Grizzly Bear Shire's Knight prepare to start cutting trees . "
...
Radnor army has moved.
A row of soldiers emerged from the forest, wearing grey-green shirts, holding shields, and no longer having swords around their waists. The back three rows hold halberds, and the long grey pennant hangs on the tip of the spear.
There are three connected knight's shire to the north of Trentheim, Pallas' family emblem is a hunting dog, Raleigh's family emblem is a grizzly bear, and Crue's family emblem is a silver full moon, so at this moment the flags raised by the soldiers on the opposite side are round. month.
"I thought that such a large forest would scare them." Ciel shook his head. Although Druids contributed valuable Magic seeds, he almost completed this line of defense around the clock, but time was still too late. In fact, this forest is only a virgin forest at a distance from the fortress. The latter are all made by him using Illusion spell.
The soldiers from the Crue collar slowly moved forward. Their wings followed a large group of ragged clothes, wearing a thick leather armor, holding a sharp axe and a shield of Barbarian Tribe mountain people. The three armies slowly crossed the river from the shallows. Seeing approaching Gris ferry.
"What does Lord Thane say?" Ciel raised his hand and was preparing to order.
"'It's just noble with shield infantry and halberds who can't reach even the first-order troop type. Just solve it. Will you need to ask me? Stupid!'" Medissa replied in imitation of Brando's. .
"1st order troop type? What the **** is that?" Ciel eyebrow is almost wrinkled together. It seems that the Lord Thane has always liked to say strange things. The last time he was in Rydenburg, the theory of what lvup was I haven't figured it out yet, what is this first-order troop type?
But at this time he already didn't have time to think so much, because the Crue infantry back row, the Radnor archers came out in a row, and all of these professionally trained longbowmen were the elite of Pallas. They held a long bow and used arrow(s) to draw a trench in the ground. They unzipped the skin around their waist and poured the liquid in the trench.
"It's oil, fire arrows!" Silver Elf Princess's face changed.
A Fire Dragon ignited in the forest, and the human soldiers already at this moment already raised their long bows, with long arrows burning on them. With a call in the forest, bowstring simultaneously trembled -- the next moment, almost everyone in the forest saw a cloud of fire flying into the sky, reflecting the mid-air into a blood red, and then the cloud of fire stopped at the highest point, smashing its head and covering its face .
"fire arrows!"
With a scream, fire arrows screamed and banged into the forest. Fortunately, the trees were extremely dense. Most of the arrow(s) were blocked by treetop branches. Only a small part fell into the mercenary through the gap. In the camp.
fire arrows has almost no direct killings, but there is almost no expression on the face of Pallas watching from a distance. He is waiting for the follow-up effect and will soon see it.
The longbowmen are raising their longbow, and the second wave of fire arrows is already on the string. ,
