Chapter 1985: Chapter 1115: Turbulent Battlefield_2
However, even though the incident was sudden, the soldiers of the Grim Kingdom were highly trained and quickly followed the commandersâ orders. The infantry raised their shields and advanced, while the archers retreated without any major panic.
Accompanied by dense and orderly footsteps, the Grim military formation consisting of 50 legions quickly reorganized, focusing mainly on the direction of the attack by those Tie 5 Powerhouses.
Yet, as the Grim soldiers, filled with fierce aura, stood ready, those sudden powerful figures had long disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, a dense rumbling sound abruptly erupted from the side of the opponentâs army.
As it caused the earth to tremble, it also shook the hearts of every Grim Kingdom soldier; it was the sound of cavalry galloping.
âWhere did these cavalry come from?â
William immediately recognized that the crisis was rapidly approaching and the numbers were extraordinarily large.
He suddenly turned his head towards the direction of the sound.
In Williamâs clouded pupils, the first thing reflected was a cavalry troop on special mounts.
All those cavalry were clad in black heavy armor, carrying black lances, and their mounts were noticeably stronger and larger than ordinary horses.
Solid, powerful limbs with a brown body like a small mountain, plus a large head akin to that of the Dragon Clan, the result was self-evident.
These were the armored ground dragons, demonic beasts of the sub-dragon species, renowned for having the strongest ground impact!
âCould it be the Coldflame Kingdomâs ace unit, the Earth Dragon Knights Corps?
Williamâs old face was full of disbelief, murmuring to himself.
Apart from leading with the Earth Dragon Knights Corps, there were at least five or six other cavalry troops from the Coldflame Kingdom behind them, enough to tear a large gap in the unsuspecting battle formation, putting the Grim Kingdom in a passive position instantly!
âHehe, Your Majesty the Saint King, leave the next part to me. The Supreme provided me with a few trump cards; these cavalry alone are no match for us.â
Scotâs wrinkled face was full of composure. He casually took out a radiant earth-yellow magical scroll and headed towards our cavalry troops.
At the Grim Kingdomâs hurried defensive formation forefront, this old bishop directly activated the scroll.
Accompanied by a shocking surge of mana, towering peaks rapidly burst from the ground, blocking the chaotic Grim military formation and our cavalry.
Since our cavalryâs charge speed had reached its limit, coupled with the unexpected appearance of those towering magical peaks.
In the face of surprise, even the puppets couldnât turn their horses in time and had to crash into them unwillingly.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The dull sounds of twisting armor and shattering stones rang simultaneously.
Although the summoned golem puppet soldiers didnât scream in agony, the losses were heavy before the unmovable peaks.
The knights in front collided with the peaks and quickly shattered into nothingness. Though some knights in the middle halted the charge in time, they were thrown by the unaware knights behind them. A scene of chaos and broken bodies unfolded.
In the blink of an eye, our seven legions of cavalry hadnât yet reached the opponentâs forefront but had already lost combat capabilities and vanished.
âHahaha, indeed, a trump card bestowed by the Supreme Lord!â
Having sharply sensed our cavalryâs defeat, Saint King Williamâs old face revealed a twisted smile, grinning: âWhat is the Earth Dragon Knights Corps in front of my Grim Kingdomâs potent warriors but mere trash?â
Hearing Williamâs laughter, the enemy soldiers who initially were terror-stricken now showed mocking expressions, beginning to cheer and rejoice.
But before the Saint King and others laughed for three seconds, on the other side of the Grim Kingdomâs camp, the thunderous sound of advancing hooves reverberated again, followed by terrifying shouts and despairing screams.
Just as our cavalry blocked by the peaks now appeared intact on the opponentâs unguarded side, like a sharp sword blade swiftly cutting into the enemyâs formation, appearing unstoppable.
âWhat is going on?â
Seeing this scene, not only was Williamâs old face still showing a trace of contempt, but even Scot, who had just leisurely returned, was also shocked with wide eyes.
âThe Holy Lion Prince anticipated your defenses; the initial cavalry charge was just an illusion manipulated by Your Majesty Ester!â
In the panicked enemy formation, the first Commander Perry of the Earth Dragon Knights at the forefront, his wheat-colored face full of sharpness, shouted: âSince you sought to bring war and blood to Coldflame, you must also be prepared for retaliation!â
Saying that, Perry shook the lance in his hand, pierced a Grim Kingdom general full of murderous intent who attempted to charge, and continued leading the team deep into the enemy formation.
Sure enough, as Perry and others charged into the enemy formation, those cavalry remnants intercepted by the peaks all turned illusory and quickly disappeared completely.
âWhat? The cavalry units blocked by the peaks were just fake illusions?â
Saint King William immediately understood the situation and began to exchange glances with Scot.
Accompanied by resounding battle cries and screams, our seven legions of cavalry formed an arrow-shaped charge, already tearing through nearly half of Grim Kingdomâs military formation.
However, because the enemyâs formation was deployed in a disciplined manner, with numerous barriers like chevaux-de-frise amidst their ranks, plus the slowed impact of our cavalry, advancing became increasingly challenging.
âThey are already at their last stand, eliminate them!â
Seeing this, Saint King William quickly began redeploying, launching a siege upon our cavalry.
Meanwhile, the gap torn open was quickly filled by the Grim Kingdom soldiers who rushed to reinforce, gradually enclosing our cavalry in the center of the vast enemy formation.
âWith a few legions of cavalry, you dare try to shake my potent warriors? Itâs simply overconfident!â
With a grand gesture, William ordered: âCrush these arrogant cavalry to dust!â
As the Grim soldiers loudly responded with shouts, preparing to aggressively besiege our cavalry trapped in the center, the fierce spell Weiguang reflected a sky full of arrows, already flying toward the Grim Kingdomâs military formation.
Due to the opponentâs soldiers entirely focusing on our cavalry surrounded in the center.
Thus, they were completely unprepared for the arrows and spells swiftly approaching from behind, quickly falling in screams, with the thick scent of blood spreading across the battlefield.
âNot good, it seems the cavalry was just bait from the opponent!â
Scot reacted extremely swiftly, quickly speaking to William: âYour Majesty, quickly spare some forces to deal with the opponentâs long-range attacks!â
Upon hearing this, William nodded repeatedly and shouted urgently: âWhere are Grim Kingdomâs knights? Quickly go and destroy the opponentâs long-range forces!â
Upon his command, the symbolic urgent horn of charge from the Grim Kingdom immediately sounded, and several Grim cavalry deployed on the flanks launched a charge, pouncing toward our long-range summoned puppet legion.
But before the imposing opponent reached close, the galloping hooves were already stuck in gooey mud, unable to move, clearly having fallen into our magic traps.
âThese idiots actually fell for such a coarse trap!â
Seeing the knights fail in their offensive, Saint King William clenched his fist fiercely.
If it were his elite Royal Knights, they clearly wouldnât be so easily thwarted, but those valiant knights had already been turned into mutated giants now frantically sieging.
As Saint King Williamâs face bristled with rage, Leo Ray led with an elite vanguard, and infantry charged toward the core of the enemyâs formation on the battlefieldâs other side.
