Idle game leads to another world

Chapter 187 Pocket Encounter (6)

Isaac didn't know much about magic, and the situation just now didn't look like magic, but more like divine arts.

The biggest difference between magic and divine arts is that the use of divine arts is very symbolic.

This may be more abstract, to put it more bluntly, when performing divine arts, if you pay attention, you will find elements with theological significance.

For example, holy emblems, holy auras and the like.

Coincidentally, a palm-shaped emblem appeared in front of Viola just now.

Is that a holy emblem?

Which god's?

Isaac was still thinking about countermeasures, and at this time he saw a sloping hillside not far ahead.

The hillside will definitely slow down, and once the cavalry slows down, the power will be greatly reduced, and then Viola's numerical advantage will be expanded again.

Helplessly, Isaac had to swing his sword to force Viola back and then immediately turned his horse's head to lead the cavalry to turn.

Viola didn't chase, and also turned slightly to lead the army back to the opposite side of the river beach.

This painting is very strange. It looks like someone in the two teams farted and they all ran away in a hurry.

Isaac turned around and joined the first cavalry team, while Viola reorganized the team on the other side of the river beach, and the two sides faced each other again.

After joining the first cavalry team, there was no difference in the number of people between the two sides. Isaac's guards were stronger, and the cavalry belonging to Count Fran among Viola's cavalry had been chased for two days and two nights and was already exhausted. They were able to fight just now purely because of morale.

The first effort is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted.

Although Isaac had never heard of this sentence, Isaac, who had a long military life, still understood this truth.

"Capture Princess Viola! We will end this war!"

Isaac raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at Viola on the other side of the river beach:

"Charge! For the king!"

"For the king!"

The morale of the cavalry under his command was greatly boosted, and they followed Isaac to rush in the direction of Viola.

There were cavalry teams on both sides. If one side launched a charge, the other side should also charge normally. Otherwise, whether standing still or moving to the side to escape, they would be severely hit.

However, Viola unexpectedly did not launch another charge. She did not even make any arrangements. She just looked at Isaac getting closer and closer with an expressionless face.

This abnormal situation made Isaac have a bad premonition in his heart. At this time, the warhorse had already rushed at full speed. It was like an arrow on the string that had to be shot. If he stopped rashly, many of his own people would be trampled to death.

The distance was already very close. As long as he crossed the front beach several dozen meters wide, Viola would be in front of him and face the sharp edge of the cavalry.

But at the moment when Isaac rode his horse onto the front beach, a gust of wind mixed with wet water vapor came from the side.

Isaac looked with his peripheral vision and saw the turbid river water rushing along the river on the other side.

The upstream of the front beach is the Sorhan River, which is connected to Qihang City, and further ahead is the Half Moon Fort.

In order to cut off the connection between the Half Moon Fort and Qihang City, the Subia Demon Kingdom Army built a dam in the shallow part of the river.

But when the dam was built, it was the dry season in spring, and now it is summer, with abundant rain, and a large amount of accumulated water flows into the river.

Did she see this opportunity and blow up the dam?

This timing is too accurate!

But then again, although it was a flood, it didn't actually wash Isaac and his troops away.

After all, this front beach is just a tributary of the Sorhan River. Even if the dam is blown up, the water flowing into the tributary is very small, just from the original water flow that can only cover the feet to the level of covering the calves.

The muddy river water mixed with gravel and other debris had no effect on the army. If it was infantry, they would definitely be hindered in the turbulent river water that covered their calves, but the horses had long and thin legs, and the river water did not have much impact on the horses, after all, the water was too shallow.

Isaac was about to laugh wildly to mock Viola for her miscalculation, but suddenly found that the horse's forward speed had slowed down greatly.

He remembered that horses were not like people. When they saw the surging river water, they would unconsciously slow down instead of speeding up to rush forward.

At this time, Isaac heard Viola say:

"Attack them when they are halfway across the river."

Before Isaac understood what she meant, he saw Viola wave her hand and shoot countless arrows from behind.

The cavalrymen who slowed down due to the sudden rise in the river water were shot off their horses by arrows, and screams continued for a while.

Isaac was also given special attention. He blocked several arrows with a long sword. Looking back, he saw that many of his men had fallen into the mud and screamed. Some fell off their horses and were washed away by the rushing water, and they were getting farther and farther away.

"General! Retreat! The second cavalry reported that the enemy is coming to reinforce us!"

"But! She is right in front of us!"

Isaac was very unwilling, just the last few dozen meters away.

He took off his longbow and shot an arrow at Viola on the other side of the river.

The latter didn't even use a sword to block it. The arrow was like hitting an invisible shield and bounced off with a ding.

"General!"

"I know! Retreat!"

Isaac threw the longbow into the water angrily, took out the horn and blew it, and fled from the front beach after leaving more than a dozen corpses, turning around and running further away.

Viola didn't chase him, but just released another wave of arrows to send him off.

It seems that Viola has a great advantage, but in fact, she only has 400 soldiers around her, and only 800 soldiers including the exhausted cavalry of Count Fran.

And Isaac's cavalry is also rushing to join him. If you chase them rashly, you may encounter reinforcements.

Viola's reinforcements can't come so quickly. These 400 are all her cavalry. The rest are all infantry, and they can't catch up at all.

Besides, there is no need to chase.

The goal this time is to rescue Count Fran. As long as this goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many enemies are killed.

Watching Isaac and his army disappear in the thick water vapor and rain, Viola wiped the rain off her face and turned back to Count Fran:

"Sir Fran, it's dangerous for us to stay here."

"Your Highness, you are right. The enemy's cavalry may come back at any time. Please come with me to Half Moon Castle."

"No, please return to Half Moon Castle immediately. I will send someone to contact you again when it is safe."

"But, but Your Highness, you are going to...?"

"I have been in Leon territory all this time."

Count Fran was stunned:

"Didn't the canyon road get blown up?"

When Count Fran first heard the news, he thought that the Lord of Leon was afraid of being attacked, so he directly cut off the road in and out of the territory. He never thought that Viola had been hiding in Leon territory all this time, so close to him.

"It was blown up, but... This is a long story. I will talk about the details later. My knights will escort you back to Half Moon Castle, and the rain curtain sent by the Lord will also cover you."

Lord?

Count Fran didn't react for a moment and wanted to ask more questions, but Viola rode her horse and led her people to the direction of the World Spine Mountains.

Then Count Fran saw a scene that he would never forget.

When the last cavalryman belonging to Viola entered the canyon, a pair of huge hands like mountains fell from the sky, skillfully grabbed rocks and stuffed them into the entrance of the canyon road, and even very considerately poked a gap with his fingers next to the blocked entrance, leaving a way for people to enter, but horses and carriages could not pass.

This action is like a child building a castle with mud and sand, but if the piled rocks are almost level with a mountain, it will be very visually impactful.

Even if the army is mobilized, it will take months to clear the canyon road, which is easily blocked by these big hands, and then they will clap their hands to make a violent sound like thunder, shake off the dust on their hands and return to the sky, disappearing without a trace.

Count Fran was shocked, but he remembered what Viola had just said, and suddenly realized something.

He knelt on one knee, facing the canyon.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, do you see? Our God, He is paying attention to Your Highness, He has returned!"
