Immediately, Leo Ray did not hesitate, and to avoid arousing suspicion from the surrounding soldiers, he simply opened his mind talk.
He then said, “Taylor, Serena, Stella, you three go clean up the hidden archers in the woods. Remember, don’t let either side notice you.”
“Understood!”
On the other hand, the three subordinates surrounding Leo Ray whispered in unison.
It goes without saying that Serena and Stella, wearing invisibility cloaks, moved with speeds equal to Tier 4 Powerhouses, and with the added invisibility effect, they were free to come and go as they pleased.
As for Taylor, the Tier 5 Powerhouse, he quietly moved to the edge of formation from the rear of the team.
Taking advantage of everyone’s attention on the Coldflame Army opposite them, Taylor disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Soon, under the protection of the remaining two subordinates, Gideon Black and Scarlett, Leo Ray focused his gaze back on Baron Yeste and Female Knight Kara not far away.
At this moment, the two were discussing something at a central army position several dozen meters away.
Without Taylor’s simultaneous translation, Leo Ray couldn’t hear the specific
conue11L.
However, from the slightly excited expression on Kara’s beautiful face, it could be seen that the two might be having another dispute about the best tactics to attack the bottleneck.
“I really wonder how they managed to make it this far through the previous battles.”
Shaking his head helplessly, Leo Ray looked towards Alexander Montgomery and the other temporary middle team soldiers nearby.
He saw everyone’s faces filled with anxiety, and many people’s foreheads covered with sweat.
Those light cavalry who had lost their horses even had trembling hands gripping their broadswords.
It seemed that the bloody battle last night had deeply ingrained the fear of being dominated by the Coldflame Army.
After a while, Baron Yeste and Female Knight Kara finally finished their discussion. From the smile on Kara’s face, it was clear that she had the upper hand this time.
At this point, the middle-aged messenger in the central army raised a green flag, signaling their cavalry unit was ready to charge.
At the same time, Female Guard Knight Kara, who had returned to the front of the five cavalry squares, raised her lance and began the final encouragement before the attack.
“Stand tall and proud, warriors of Saint Night! Smash their shields, sever their blades, bring them death and destruction!”
Upon saying this, the heavily-armored Kara, clad in black armor and a black helmet atop her war horse, pointed her lance towards the enemy formation a kilometer away and roared, “Charge!”
Boom!
Instantly, 500 battle-hardened warhorses began to move forward under the control of their riders, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly. The sound was truly astonishing.
The deafening noise caused everyone’s ears to buzz.
On the other hand, Leo Ray, who was at the central army’s flanks, squinted his eyes and watched everything calmly.
There was no doubt that this was his first time witnessing a real cavalry charge.
As the cavalry advanced, Leo Ray noticed that at the beginning, under Kara’s leadership, the speed of the five cavalry formations was not fast, only maintaining a trot.No wonder, currently, the distance between the enemy and us is still over a thousand meters.
If we start a high-speed charge now, I’m afraid that by the time our cavalry gets close to the enemy formation, the horses would already be out of energy.
Boom…
Accompanying the neighing of the horses and the rumbling sound of hooves hitting the ground in unison.
Looking at the gradually retreating figures of the five cavalry formations, Leo Ray, who was buzzing from the vibration, couldn’t help but show a hint of excitement.
“Is this a cavalry charge? Just witnessing it from behind already feels so powerful; if facing it head-on, I’m afraid the sheer pressure would be enough to scare the enemy soldiers.”
“I have to say, it’s exactly like what I saw in the movies in my previous life. This combination of light, shadow, and sound creates a much more thrilling experience than watching a 4D movie.”
With this thought, Leo Ray simply lifted the protective face of his helmet and continued to observe.
Since his attention was entirely focused on the battlefield ahead.
He didn’t notice that his action just now caused the massive sword on his shoulder to slide down and almost sliced off Alexander Montgomery’s ear and half shoulder, which nearly made the latter’s heart jump out of his throat.
At this point, the five cavalry formations in front had already advanced to about 500 meters away from the enemy’s heavy infantry formation, which was on high alert at the entrance of the chokepoint.
Then, due to the narrowness of the mountain pass, the cavalry formations that were lined up in a horizontal row began to change from horizontal to vertical, forming a new snake formation.
Immediately, under the leadership of Female Knight Kara, the heavy cavalry formation, all the cavalry almost simultaneously kicked their silver spurs hard into the abdomen of their horses.
The next second, accompanied by the neighing of the horses in pain, the real charge began.
Instantly, 500 cavalry tightly gripped their lances and rushed towards the enemy formation not far away like arrows.
Five minutes earlier, the unknown pass.
“Captain, it seems the Saint Night bastards are about to charge over, our ambush troops in the forest should be ready to make a big move, right?”
Inside the center army formation in the passage, a Coldflame Army heavy infantry captain said to a mustached Coldflame Army commander beside him.
“Of course, the 200 longbowmen in the forest are my elite troops, all equipped with enchanted armor-piercing arrows and ice arrows that can slow down the enemy. Even tier 2 heavy knight armor can be easily penetrated.”
On the other side, with a proud expression on his face, the mustached commander continued: “Furthermore, the deputy captain, who is at the peak of
Tier 2, is personally leading the team. I’m afraid one volley of arrows would be enough to take out one of the enemy’s cavalry formations.”
It’s worth mentioning that he had even taken out the extremely valuable Tier 4 magic scroll from the bottom of his chest in order to carry out this ambush smoothly.
Afterward, the mustached commander’s face showed a murderous aura: “As long as we let these cavalry enter the pass and use the hidden archers in the forest to slow them down, we can quickly take advantage of the narrow terrain and surround them. Cavalry without mobility are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.”
Once we completely consume their cavalry, it’s only a matter of time before we take out all of their mages, as their range is not as long as our longbowmen in the forest.”
“Captain, you are wise!”
Hearing this, the face of the heavy infantry captain revealed a sly and flattering expression: “Captain, there is a Saint Night town ahead, so shall we follow the old rules when we get there?”
“Hehe, just make the arrangements.” Upon hearing this, the Coldflame Army commander stroked his mustache with a sinister smile, full of confidence.
However, before they could celebrate for long, as the Female Knight Kara-led cavalry formations approached, they started to panic and look at each other in confusion.
Their hidden trump cards in the forest seemed to have inexplicably failed to ignite..
