Lord of Glory

Chapter 285 Nightingale’s Raid

As the saying goes, soldiers are more valuable than speed. . COM Not long after the humans of the entire continent jointly declared war on the elves, the Elf Queen Windsor, who had no idea what chivalry was, knew that when the human armies gathered together, she would never be an opponent. Before Nubia and Ai Xinzhe's troops on the border began to gather, they immediately blew the horn of aggression called justice, and a total of fifty thousand elite elves rushed towards the border of the Nubia Kingdom like lightning.

However, the king of Nubia and the clone of Paladin was also a prophet. After the elven army swept several cities and villages with overwhelming force, Nubia's famous Nightingale Light Cavalry gathered 20,000 people from across the country and rushed to the battlefield. At this moment, in the territory of Nubia, on a hill. The densely packed Nubian light cavalry moved forward like waves.

These light cavalry were armed with a spear, a sword at their waist, and crossbows and quivers on their backs. Wearing a layer of chain mail and leather armor on the outside. Except for key parts and the helmet, there is almost no protection from plate armor. And the mounts are all brown ponies with outstanding endurance. When they learned the news of the elves' invasion from the king, they immediately came as quickly as possible and with the lightest equipment. And through the sentinel sent out before, we learned that thirty miles away was the vanguard of the elven army. Five thousand Silver Spears, Centaur Legion.

And the leader of this hurried light cavalry was an officer. The long beard, the weathered face, and the firm eyes show the fearlessness in this man's heart. He looked up at the sky, raised his hands and took off the light round helmet. Her long black hair fell loosely on her shoulders. I saw his eyes narrowing. Raise your hand and shake it. The flag bearer behind him immediately waved the Nightingale flag of the Nubian Kingdom. The cavalrymen who saw the flag signal immediately reined in their horses quietly. They turned over and dismounted in unison. With a tacit understanding, they began to check their equipment and scoop out the prepared fodder to feed the war horses.

"General Ke Duer, the centaur army is very close to us. Should we start the ambush now?" At this time, a knight wearing nightingale light armor stepped forward and took off his helmet, facing the solemn expression of Ke Duer. General Duer asked. The latter just nodded and said: "The elven forward centaurs are coming fiercely. If the foot army encounters the centaur army, the end result will be annihilation. So this time we must win by surprise and hand over the centaur army directly here."

The adjutant, who looked understanding, suddenly frowned. He glanced back and forth and saw no one else. He lowered his voice and whispered in Kodu'er's ear: "General. The news of the elven army's invasion belongs to your Majesty. But the one in front of us is There is no news at all at the outpost. How could His Majesty know so quickly?" "Huh? You have to understand that if you want to live a long time, you can't just talk about some things. Because sometimes, words can kill people more than others. The sword is quicker."

The adjutant looked at the general with sharp eyes. He was also startled and lowered his head, not daring to say anything. General Koduer, who snorted softly, turned his head and looked at the road in front of him that seemed to be embedded in the forest. He murmured uneasily: "Why should we take this road? Marching on such a road will not be very big." Are you delaying your trip?" A feeling of uneasiness was quietly enveloping General Kodu'er. Although he led the Nightingale Light Cavalry to win countless battles. But having never fought against an elf before, he felt increasingly uneasy facing an enemy with no information.

Soon after, a centaur legion wearing silver armor on the upper body and cloth robes on the lower body held a long spear and carried a huge shield in the other hand. The streamlined silver-white helmet he was wearing had white tassels fluttering in the wind. Just stepping on the heavy horse hooves in such a uniform manner. Walking on this forest road. Although it is very subtle, the remaining scarlet blood stains can still be seen on the armor and spears of these well-equipped centaur knights. Obviously, the Centaur Legion had just ended a fight not long ago. Time was so tight for them that they didn't even have time to take a break and wipe their armor. …,

However, while marching like this, the centaur leader who was walking in front suddenly stopped and stepped on his four hooves unnaturally. There was a solemn look on the man's face, and he blew out a breath from his nostrils, exploring wildly. The slight smell in the air. "Chief?" a female centaur next to him asked doubtfully. But as soon as he finished speaking, the centaur with a beard suddenly roared angrily and waved his hand fiercely, swinging the shield, only to hear a crisp sound. A sharp crossbow arrow was intercepted by the shield. Before the female centaur next to her could react, the leader suddenly raised his spear. He raised his shield in front of him, turned around and yelled at the centaur behind him who was instantly alert: "Human! Enemy attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, densely packed Nightingale light cavalry riding ponies suddenly appeared from the hills on both sides in the distance. It's like the top of the mountain is shrouded in a black veil. The light cavalry, which was four times more numerous than the centaurs, heard General Codour's roar, which echoed through the forest: "Fire arrows! Shoot these ungrateful bastards to death!" As soon as the words fell, these two men Wan's light cavalry immediately took out the crossbow from behind with great skill. After quickly pressing the crossbow bolt, he neatly raised it and pointed it at the centaur who saw them in the distance and became frightened and confused!

"Raise your shield! Charge forward and stab these despicable humans to death!" The centaur leader heard the sound of triggers being pulled one after another in the distance, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs. These well-trained centaur legions were just stunned for a moment, and immediately found their backbone in the leader's words. He immediately raised his shield in front of him. At this moment, the sky suddenly dimmed, and only a large swishing sound was heard. Like a strong wind blowing against the face, the rumbling sound of flowing arrows instantly occupied the entire listening range of the ears.

A large number of powerful crossbow bolts hit the shield, making an aggressive sound like a woodpecker. However, even if the centaur has such a large shield, it is not foolproof under such a dense rain of arrows. Because the next moment, screams and cracks sounded throughout the entire army. The rain of arrows goes as quickly as it comes. When the strong wind that hit my face disappeared. The leader put down his shield and looked at the densely packed crossbow bolts stuck on the shield. He turned around and saw many of his compatriots lying on the ground bleeding, their four hooves trembling in pain.

Finally, the leader's eyes turned red. Fiercely waving their spears and pointing at the Nightingale light cavalry on the distant hill, they shouted: "Catch them while they are loading their arrows! Avenge our fellow tribesmen! Avenge our brothers and sisters!" After roaring, the leader took the lead. When they saw the leader doing this, the centaurs roared angrily, formed a steel jungle with their spears, and rushed towards the Nightingale Knight on the hill quickly and mightily!

"Load the arrows and prepare for the second volley. The solemn expression of Koduur gave the order. In just the first round of volley, the Centaur killed and wounded five hundred troops. One-tenth of them died at once. And to their Morale was greatly affected. According to the calculations of Coduer, who has been fighting all the time, after these centaurs approached their dangerous distance, they could have fired three volleys. By then, there would be many casualties, and the wounded centaurs rushed downhill. With Poe's huge disadvantage, they can naturally attack from above and directly crush and destroy these low-level creatures that don't know how to fight. Of course, the premise of all this is that the centaurs can maintain their formation without escaping before they rush forward.

Thinking of this, Kodur, who had a solemn expression, had a smile on his face. It seems that these alien races that were driven out of Middle-earth are not as powerful as the myths say. Or is he just too powerful? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
