242. Chapter 242 Stalemate and reversal
How to hide?
Elemental Master Cohen's grin froze on his face, his brain completely shorted.
Because they had been traveling through the narrow and long streets, there were only two knights who followed Cohen to arrive here - and both of them were left twenty meters behind. The rest of the knights had been dragged into a long line of hundreds of meters long, and were rushing toward this place...
So at this time, Cohen was alone and exposed to the targeting range of more than ten people.
Time seemed to pass very slowly on the battlefield. Cohen opened his mouth wide and seemed to want to say something, but when he looked at Roddy, he found that the other party had put an arrow on the bow at some point.
"Don't be so funny in the next life."
Roddy's burst arrow suddenly passed through the air. Although the "Ice Shield" has strong defense, it cannot withstand the precise strike of Roddy, the "Shield Destroyer". The arrow instantly nailed to the surface of the "Ice Shield" at a vertical angle, and then the "bang" exploded, instantly shattering the entire shield into pieces all over the ground...
With one blow, Roddy did more calmly than when facing Frances.
Cohen screamed in frightened, raised his wand and prepared to cast other spells, but before he could recite any spells, he was shot into a hedgehog in a series of muffled sounds of "PuPuPuPu".
The advanced elemental master, before he even had time to cast a fireball technique, he fell to the ground with blood spurts on his body. This scene shocked the knights who rushed over from behind. They couldn't help but pull the reins and stopped in the center of the intersection...
Roddy then made a move similar to stretching, ignored the knights, turned around and walked towards a two-story building on the side.
"Aim--Shoot!"
The command sound echoed above the surrounding buildings. Behind Roddy, the scouts holding short bows had already launched the next round of volleys, and what sounded was the exclamation and screams of the knights...
This is the advantage brought by the commanding heights "firepower suppression". Although the rate of fire of bows and arrows in the cold weapons era is not as good as that of artillery, the concentrated shooting in the cramped space is still a nightmare for melee troops.
"mean!"
"They are here!"
"Don't retreat! Go forward! Go forward!"
The cavalrymen who arrived one after another were completely in a situation of "being beaten but not fighting back", but with the advantage of armor, they did not immediately lose too much - it was just that the death of the elemental master Cohen was really effective in morale, so that the knights' advancement slowed down instantly, and they were hesitating whether to retreat or attack...
However, just as they were hesitating, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from all around them, which made the knights collectively stunned.
Originally they thought this was the second batch of reinforcements sent by the lords, but when the knights at the intersection looked around, they found that the cavalry rushing towards them from both sides and in front of them... were all strange faces.
"Enem...enemy?"
"It's the enemy!"
"Prepare for battle! Draw the sword!"
When these knights realized the problem, panic and irresistible spread - they were clearly besieging the other party, but why were they besieged by the other party at this intersection at this time?
Even several advanced knights felt like they were hit head-on by someone... They really couldn't figure out how these guys in front of them dared to "counter-encircle" them when they were surrounded by thousands of soldiers...
What's wrong with this world? Will cats be beaten by rats?
At this moment, the lords on the periphery still thought they were sure to win; the more than 1,000 soldiers who were chasing and blocking were shaking their heads and minds four or five streets away; and the more than 200 cavalrymen following behind had just stepped into the town.
Perhaps these soldiers would be able to surround the place in three or five minutes, but now... this so-called "elite force" can only helplessly face the three-sided attacks of the cavalry regiment under Roddy!
"Caval regiment, charge!"
Soderol's command sounded throughout the block, and the three cavalry teams accelerated with all their might in just twenty seconds. When these noble knights did not make any resistance posture, they burst into their scattered array!
The sound of collision and slashing suddenly rang through the streets. Although they were all cavalry riding horses, the result of standing there was almost the same as the harvested wheatgrass - in one encounter, more than ten people were directly killed in the three aspects of the attack!
The three advanced knights wanted to resist, but because they were far behind, they could only watch the team being compressed to the rear...
The effect of the orc king after his experience is undoubtedly highlighted at this time - in terms of strength, the powerful knights under these nobles are not weaker than Roddy's cavalry team, but they do not have the courage and passion of the scouts when they charge!
More importantly, they have no belief in fighting.
But the scouts and the Templars knew very well... the enemies in front of them were all subordinates of the traitors of the kingdom, and their existence shamed the glory of the kingdom!
"Kill these traitors! For the glory of Karen Kingdom!"
Carter's roar sounded, and on the chaotic battlefield, all the scouts responded to the word "Kill!"
This is a force that makes the scalp tingling, and the momentum of the knights who struggle to resist is instantly suppressed!
They were not wooden men, they were all swinging their swords and trying hard to resist the attacks of the scouts. But somehow, these knights could not have any idea of "seeking victory" in their hearts, but instead thought of retreating...
"Can't retreat! Go forward! Bounce out!"
"Kill them all! There are more people in our country!"
The three advanced knights finally experienced more wars. While shouting out these words of stable morale, they rushed to the front line and kept a close eye on the pressure of the attack.
"Block the way out and compress forward!"
Soderol shouted and killed the approaching knight with a sword, then rushed to the front of the battle formation, leading the team to forcefully squeeze the line that had just stabilized...
There was no hesitation or luck on the battlefield. As soon as Soderol cut off the two of them, he was blown by the advanced knight in front of him. With a "bang", Soderol was almost shocked to his horse with a "war energy" that exploded!
The gap in strength is insurmountable, especially in such a head-on battle.
But even so, Soderol gritted his teeth and held the sword, clamped the horse's belly and rushed forward again to the other party-but this time, the appearance of the "Sacred Shield" allowed him to easily withstand the opponent's attack...
The subsequent lights instantly made the morale of the cavalry regiment surge - Akasha released the "holy shield", "recovery technique" and "primary healing technique" almost at all costs, and then tore the scrolls apart, descending the curse on the knights who were struggling to resist the siege...
Fear, chaos, fatigue... The combat power of the knights blocked at the intersection was suddenly weakened a lot. Originally, they had some morale of resistance, but as someone in the team turned around and fled because of the "fear" curse, the morale of the entire team immediately dropped to the bottom!
In the siege of the crossroads, from a tactical perspective, it is the standard "three circumferences and one": this terrain can not only "amplify" the pressure of charge from three directions, but also leave a retreat so that the enemy will not fight to the death in despair.
The defense line began to become precarious. If it weren't for the three advanced knights' struggle to support it, they would have collapsed long ago.
But precisely because of their existence, this battle that should have ended directly gradually fell into a stalemate - this situation was also the first time this cavalry regiment had a "draw" with the enemy in a face-to-face battle...
From outsiders, although these cavalry regiments that have not yet been advanced are worthy of praise, such a record is definitely a shame for scouts who have experienced countless battles!
But there is nothing to do about this. Although there are only three advanced knights, no matter who they are, they can only rely on the "holy shield" to defend against their long swords, and they don't even have the chance to counterattack.
Time passed, but the situation became increasingly unfavorable to Soderol and others. A soldier who had already searched in the distance noticed the movement here and shouted loudly to let more soldiers surround him...
"Stand it! They will die if they hold on for a while!"
The advanced knights realized the turning point of the battle and immediately shouted loudly, trying to boost morale.
The compressed defense line began to rebound, and the knights, who had been weaker for several points, pushed the scouts' front out little by little, and the knights who suffered "fear" debuff also came back to their senses after the effect faded and joined the battle group again...
Every second passed, the situation was turning around by one minute.
But in the noisy battlefield, everyone forgot one thing - the guy who led them here was missing.
“Talent Bar.”
In the shadow, Roddy added the upgraded new talent point to the "Enhanced Concentration Shooting" again.
At this point, "Enhanced Concentrating Shooting" has undergone four talent enhancements, and the effect is "reduce casting time by 4 seconds and increase the maximum damage value by 40%.
Level 2 "Concentrating Shooting" itself increases basic damage by 12%, the 4/5 "Intensified Concentrating Shooting" talent increases by 40%, while the "Hawkeye Ring" increases by 25% again - after all, the total damage bonus actually reaches an astonishing 77%!
Epic [Frost Thorn] raised, Roddy pulled out the only "explosive arrow" left in the quiver, and the faint light appeared on his wrist when the "Hawkeye Ring" was opened...
When the "Spiritual Shooting" that takes 6 seconds to release time is reduced to 2 seconds, this skill will completely begin to undergo a qualitative change.
On the battlefield, an advanced knight who had just defeated Carter suddenly turned his head. He was two levels higher than Roddy and instinctively sensed the crisis, but his body was riding on the war horse, but his dodging movement was hesitant for half a second because of the shaking.
However, it was just this moment of hesitation... His chest was blasted open by a "explosive arrow" in the next moment!
