Chapter 279 Battle of the Knights
"what--"

Looking at the comrades who were knocked down with a hammer, the knights of the coalition army who were surrounded by the enemy couldn't help but gasp, and an emotion called fear arose in their hearts.

About half an hour ago, they chased the Winster cavalry to this place, and then they were attacked by the enemy. When the two armies charged, the strange cavalry equipped by the enemy caught them off guard. Strike, the opponent's lances are much longer than theirs. At the moment of the battle, the enemy's lances hit them first, and the huge impact directly shot down many knights and fell heavily to the ground. Before the fallen knights got up, the horses following them stepped on them, trampling them to death.

If the momentary defeat in the battle was just the beginning, then the ensuing battle would be an unending nightmare.The maces and maces wielded by Winster knights are extremely powerful, and you will suffer very serious injuries just by being hit. No matter how many layers of armor you wear, it will not help. Miserably, your skull will shatter from the blow, and your blood and brains will splatter out.

When he came back to his senses, the comrades who were still resisting in front of him were all killed by the enemy and fell off their horses. Beside him, there were only a dozen knights holding weapons to confront the enemy. There were more than 300 knights and more than 200 knights. The coalition army of ordinary cavalry was slaughtered by the enemy within more than half an hour, and the casualties they caused to the enemy were only a dozen knights and more than a hundred light cavalry.

"The knights on the opposite side, surrender, we will treat you preferentially according to the noble law!"

At this moment, there was a voice of persuasion from the crowd on the opposite side. Listening to the other party's words, there was a commotion among the coalition knights who were still fighting. Most of them never wanted to face such a bloody massacre again. The brains and blood, as well as the heart-piercing screams, all stimulated their senses and nerves.

"Let's surrender. The Winsters have no hatred against us. We don't need to fight to the death."

Some of the coalition knights said that his words quickly aroused the echoes of others, but a knight from the Kingdom of Meganis pointed at those echoing people and shouted loudly: "Do you still have the spirit of knights in your heart? As a knight, how can you shamefully surrender to the enemy? We should fight to the end and defend the honor of being a knight!"

His reprimand made everyone bow their heads and remain silent. However, at this moment, the knight who first offered to surrender suddenly slashed his sword at the knight of the Miganis Kingdom, and at the same time cursed: "What kind of broken chivalry, old man! It was lost hundreds of years ago, I don't want to die in this crappy place because of your shitty chivalry!"

Although his sudden attack was dodged by the knights of the Kingdom of Mijanis, he did not continue the attack. Instead, he rode his horse directly out of the crowd and ran towards the Knight of Winster on the opposite side, shouting at the same time: "I am Osun Knights of the Kingdom, surrender, I am willing to surrender!”

With his beginning, those knights who had been scolded and lowered their heads in shame raised their heads one after another. Regardless of the roar of the Meganis knight, they also rushed out at the pace of No.1. With the first one, there is After the second, third, and fourth, in just a few breaths, only the knight of the Miganis Kingdom and two other knights who were unwilling to surrender were left among the allied knights who were still resisting.

Looking at these three people, the commander of the imperial knights' brigade sighed secretly, raised his right hand, called the names of the two people beside him, and said, "Let's go together, as knights, send them on their way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the three people headed by him rode out of the queue. The three picked up relatively complete lances from the ground, and at the same time signaled the three coalition knights opposite to pick up the lances, and the latter reacted quickly. Come over, each picked up a lance, and the surrounding knights gave up a large open space for the six to duel.

Riding his horse and standing in the charging position, the brigade commander Zoran took a deep breath, took out a silver-plated cross from his arms, held the cross in his hand, bowed his head and whispered a prayer, and ended Finally, he kissed the surface of the cross deeply before putting it back into his arms, and then put down the visor on the helmet, leaving only a small viewing hole to see the outside.

"In the name of God!" Zoran raised his lance and said to the two knights beside him, "Charge!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the three riders began to trot, and the knights of the coalition army opposite them also urged their horses to run. After a few seconds, the speed of the horses was increased, from trotting to normal running. The sound of footsteps beat on their hearts like war drums, making them subconsciously clenched the lances in their hands.

tread--

tread--

tread--

Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, everything around him seemed to be slowed down several times, and the drum-like sound of horseshoes was also slowed down. When the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters, he spit out the words he had been shouting. Angrily, he roared: "Riding the gun flat! Charge!"

"In the name of the father!"

“In the name of the Father!!!”

The moment the battle roar sounded, the two sides put down their lances almost at the same time, and the three imperial knights clamped their lances under their armpits, and launched the most violent charge to the enemy!At the moment when the six cavalry staggered, the lance shattered, and the horse turned on his back. The knight who was hit by the lance screamed and fell off the horse. The huge impact directly shattered their bones!
Tread-tap-

After a round of staggering, the two sides exchanged positions, but there were only four knights sitting on their horses. Looking carefully, only the Miganis knight was left on the coalition side, and the other two It was lying on the ground in pain, spitting blood, and the people around rushed in and dragged them out, leaving a clean battlefield for those who could still fight.

On the coalition side, although the Miganis knight was still able to fight again, his body was obviously severely injured. His hand holding the shield kept shaking, the shield in his hand also had cracks, and his face was pale.

"He is a qualified knight." Zoran said in a low voice, and at the same time stopped his subordinates who wanted to fight, rode his horse forward, and shouted at the man: "I am Zoran, the commander of the Second Empire Knights Brigade , Zoran Tremblay, tell me your name, honorable knight."

"My name is Vinicius Pereira, Lord Tremblay." Knight Miganis said in a somewhat flamboyant tone. It can be seen that he is enduring physical pain.

"Surrender, respected Your Excellency Pereira, I will treat you with the highest standard." Zoran said.

"That's impossible. As an honorable knight, you should die on the battlefield instead of being imprisoned in your cage, anxiously waiting for the judgment."

"In that case, then I will fight you personally." Zoran said with full respect, and then took the lance handed by the knight behind him, and seeing that the knight of Miganis also picked up the lance handed by others, he said Drive the horse and start running.

Just like a repeat of what happened just now, the speed of the two riders was getting faster and faster, and they lowered their lances when they were less than ten meters away from each other. A few seconds later, the two riders crossed and the lances broke. Cavalier Vinicius couldn't dodge in time, was hit by the oncoming cavalry gun, groaned in pain, and fell heavily from his horse...
