Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Battle of the Nameless Pass (Part
Translator: 549690339
The 500-meter distance was nothing but a blink of an eye for the charging cavalry.
As Female Knight Kara, a Tier 3 Guard Knight, and Tier 2 Heavy Knights formation were charging in an overwhelming force towards the Coldflame Army’s Heavy Infantry formation guarding the narrow pass, their faces showed disbelief and terror.
No doubt, without the cover and slowing down of the Longbowmen, these heavy infantry formations consisting mostly of Tier 1 soldiers would have a hard time resisting the ferocious charge of the Saint Night Iron Riders. “How is this possible? The ambushers in the woods… Have they all been taken out?” the Coldflame Army Mustache Commander exclaimed in confusion and panic.
He couldn’t believe it, thinking to himself: “The Vice Team Leader is a
Wanderer who specializes in forest warfare, and with the support of a Tier 4 Stealth spell, even those two Tier 3 Powerhouses from Saint Night couldn’t possibly kill him without making a sound!”
He couldn’t understand why his carefully designed trap had been so easily neutralized by the enemy.
“Could it be that there are Tier 4 Powerhouses in the enemy camp? No, that’s impossible! Absolutely impossible! There are only a few Tier 4 Powerhouses on the whole battlefield, all of whom are high-ranking figures. How could they appear in such a place?!”
As the Mustache Commander of the Coldflame Army had lost his wits, the Heavy Cavalry led by Female Knight Kara had already collided with the first two Coldflame Army Heavy Infantry formations at the narrow pass.
Instantly, armor shattered, blood splattered, and screams echoed continuously.
The tightly formed defense of the Coldflame Army Heavy Infantry crumbled like fragile paper, unable to withstand the ferocious charge of the Saint Night Army Iron Riders in the slightest.
Amid the massive impact, many Coldflame Army infantrymen, clad in heavy armor and holding giant shields, were sent flying through the air.
Like battered tin cans, they crashed heavily against the narrow cliffs and became clouds of crimson mist.
In just a moment, the foremost two Heavy Infantry units were scattered by the cavalry, leaving nothing but fallen bodies.
Soon after, the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Coldflame Army Heavy Infantry formations were also quickly torn apart, with wailing sounds echoing throughout the pass.
It only took a few moments for Tier 3 Female Guard Knight Kara, wielding her bloodstained lance, to appear in front of the Coldflame Army Mustache
Commander.
Only then did the Commander react, pushing aside his bodyguard and drawing his long blade, shouting, “Enemy general, listen! I am a Tier 3 from the
Coldflame Army… ”
But his words were cut short the next moment.
The Female Guard Knight’s long spear had pierced through his shining armor, a beautiful red lotus blooming on his chest representing death.
“Sorry, I’m not interested in the names of defeated generals.” Female Knight Kara coldly snorted as she glanced at the fallen body in front of her and departed without hesitation.
After breaking through the Coldflame Army at the narrow pass, she pulled the reins and turned her horse around, directing the cavalry towards their previous position for another group charge.
At the same time, a kilometer away from the Nameless Pass, Leo Ray was excitedly watching the charging cavalry in the distance while Taylor, Serena and Stella Clark returned to his side without a sound.
“Reporting to my Lord, the ambushers in the woods have been completely eliminated. ”
Taylor wiped off the few drops of blood on his armor and whispered to Leo Ray, “These enemies are all equipped with enchanted Magic Arrows. With these rare custom-made arrows, their attack power can be increased several-fold.”Fortunately, the Lord handled the situation in time, or else the
fate of Saint Night’s cavalry would have been grim.”
“Magic Arrows?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice, “Where are those arrows now?”
“Please rest assured, my Lord. The three of us have carefully hidden all the arrows in a corner of the woods. We can pick them up on our way out.” Taylor’s rough voice rang in Leo Ray’s ears once more.
“Very good, you’ve worked hard.” Leo Ray nodded slightly, his gaze focusing again on the battlefield at the chokepoint.
At this point, after several rounds of cavalry charges, the defending Coldflame Heavy Infantry had been virtually wiped out.
500 cavalrymen against 800 infantrymen, the outcome was never in doubt.
Even the Heavy Infantry capable of resisting ordinary cavalry was no match for these Tier 2 Heavy Knights.
Of course, one could also see the fallen warhorses scattered across the battlefield.
It was evident that the Saint Night cavalry had also suffered considerable losses.
“High mobility and high impact… The role of cavalry on the battlefield is indeed irreplaceable.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement on his face.
He murmured, “With just 500 cavalrymen, they can create such momentum. It seems that if conditions permit, organizing a knight’s team in the territory should be prioritized.”
And so, it didn’t take long for Leo Ray’s mixed Magic-War team to successfully pass through this chokepoint and continue their advance.
Simultaneously, Leo Ray noticed that,
after the previous fight, the Saint Night Army had lost about a middle team’s worth of light cavalry.
As for the Tier 2 Heavy Knights, other than a few dead or wounded warhorses, all of them survived, apparently not having lost much of their combat power. Speaking of which, during the journey, due to the decrease of a middle team, the temporary middle unit led by Leo Ray had moved from the rear of the central army to its left wing, next to a magic team directly under Baron Yeste. “Vice Team Leader Kara, don’t you think something is strange?”
Just after passing through the chokepoint, there was no look of victory on Baron Yeste’s face. Instead, he looked puzzled as he turned to the Female Knight Kara.
At this moment, Leo Ray was only a few meters away from the two, so he could clearly hear their conversation.
“Strange? What’s strange?”
On the other side, Kara, who had just won a battle, had taken off her helmet and held it in her arms. There was still a lingering blush on her pretty face, showing that she hadn’t fully recovered from the intense fight.
“Both the town battle earlier and the chokepoint battle just now seem too smooth for us. It’s like an unknown, powerful force is helping us from the shadows. ”
Baron Yeste spoke again with a puzzled expression.
Hearing this, Leo Ray, whose face was hidden under his helmet, couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile and muttered quietly in his heart.
“Little did you know, that powerful, mysterious force is right beside you..”
