Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 114 Charge and Counter Charge
Holding a kite shield in one hand and a torch in the other, Ethan Garcia, the deputy knight commander who galloped at the front of the team to guide his subordinates, was almost the only one present who remained calm.

"Don't change direction! Fuck me and rush straight towards the platform!" He raised his kite shield to defend against potential enemy projectiles, and ordered hoarsely while turning his head.

——Garcia is very clear that speed is the pulse of the cavalry, and distance is the lifeline of this small battlefield!

The knights of the "Pride of the South" have one and only one goal: to approach the platform as quickly as possible, and then use the rockets and magic scrolls that have been prepared, and then burn this simple camp made of wood and stones to nothing!
Whether it was the flaming arrows wrapped in linoleum, the flame scrolls carried by several elite knights, or the two mid-level mages borrowed from the mage group, their already limited attack range was inevitably hit by the violent east wind. the weakening of

Because of this, they must rush faster and approach the platform in a shorter time;

Any extra fuss and wasted time are absolutely unforgivable—

——The flaming heavy arrow that suddenly struck from outside the field of vision just now has already given Deputy Knight Commander Garcia an ominous premonition:

This inconspicuous camp does not seem to be a soft persimmon without resistance as the Duke of Houston promised before...

Garcia, who is well versed in the principle of "lateness leads to change", immediately decided to catch the opponent by surprise as quickly as possible: for every extra minute or second the enemy gets for preparation and evacuation, the destructive power of rockets and fire magic will will be quickly weakened!
It's a pity that Garcia's order from Deputy Knight Commander was a bit late.

In many cases, going to the battlefield is very similar to entering the bridal chamber:

Instinct always comes faster than rational thinking here.

After Jifeng Jianhao appeared on the stage and before Garcia's Deputy Knight Commander gave the order, the "Pride of the South" Lancers who rushed to the front had already staggered with their horses because of the momentary panic and confusion;

As a result, even the entire assault team was like a grasshopper boat sailing along the water, suddenly encountered a head-on wave, and suddenly stagnated.

And this has two secondary effects:

For one thing, because the speed of the front team slowed down and the rear team kept the same speed, the stormtroopers, who had maintained a reasonable density like a textbook before, suddenly huddled together, watching the five vicious magic porcupines , crashed into it like a certain brand of electric car with brake failure.

Second, the Lancers of the front team finally had time to spare, and by the light of the torches, they carefully looked at the black shadows of the porcupines rushing over.

Then, they were puzzled to find that behind the black buttocks of Jifeng Jianhao, there seemed to be a few cheerful...

……Mars?
The breath of fire poured into his nostrils.

……

On the roof of the Horned Eagle Manor, which has become a temporary frontline headquarters, Xia Houyan held up a "Dark Moon Glazed Telescope" obtained from Luna Village, and satisfactorily admired the fire 400 meters away from the platform.

The spine and arrows who bumped into the Phoenix Terrace these days have fully utilized their internal organs, fur, and thorns, and the remaining skeletons and remnants of meat are not idle. Time-limited Skeleton Porcupine.

But at the beginning, he didn't intend to use this group of undead monsters for military purposes:
A few days ago, Mayor Joel, who was in charge of the agricultural team, reported to him that since most of the livestock brought from Eagle's Rest died on the migration road, the recent farmland reclamation and ditch digging felt a bit stretched——

In addition to the existing potato-growing areas, the current progress is not satisfactory because there are no cattle for plowing and soil transportation. It is necessary to reclaim a new farmland before planting wheat in the spring.

Xia Houyan pointed out at that time that Jifeng Jianhao's strength and endurance should not be inferior to that of cattle, right?
Therefore, in the past few days, "skeleton porcupines pulling the plow to plow the land and dragging the cart to transport the soil" has become a unique spectacle in the Shuangfengling area.

However, after the enemy's situation was discovered this morning, these skeleton porcupines were quickly donated by the agricultural team for military use.

Originally, Clement meant that once the enemy launched a charge, he would use these skeleton porcupines ambushing at the edge of the camp to give the enemy a head-on blow—not to cause much damage, but to slow down the opponent's attack. Horse speed, weakening its impact;
But inspired by the "Molotov rocket", Xia Houyan made an impromptu idea and asked Kobe and the others to fill the remaining vine fuel into the oil bag, fix it in the stomach of the porcupine whose internal organs had been emptied, and then Lead wires were tied behind the porcupine's tailbone.

The "Porcupine Bomb" was thus completed.

The moment the undead porcupine with the "goods" in its belly hit the stormtrooper, the fuse on its tail also burned to the end at the same time, and immediately exploded into five huge fireballs!

Looking at this spectacular scene on the rooftop, Xia Houyan suddenly felt in a trance that the land of cracking souls under the night also had a unique atmosphere of Afghanistan filled with gunpowder.

However, to his regret, the fuel oil made from the fruit of the vine tree is only fuel oil, not nitro explosives.

The five flaming, castrated skeleton porcupines looked like soul chariots. Although they licked the closest enemy knights with their fiery tongues, their killing range was limited to this.

This "Red Skull" porcupine death squad (although it is dead), the biggest effect is not to kill the knights of the "Pride of the South", but to completely break up the sprint formation of this group of regular knights!
Even after professional training, the horses under the "Pride of the South" knights still have a natural fear of the scorching flames——

——When several running fireballs galloped forward and crashed into the core area of ​​the cavalry, the knights of the "Pride of the South" suddenly became a mess amidst the shrill neighing of their horses, and turned their backs on their backs!
Some were thrown off their horses by their own horses, and then suffered a heavy horseshoe on the face;
Some mounts couldn't suppress the panic, and the result was that they ran into the lance of their colleagues with the horse;

There are also a large number of "Pride of the Southern Territory" knights, who were even led around in circles by their horses, and fled westward with their backs to the Phoenix Terrace...

"Now they should give up!" Master Kobe clapped his hands on the wall, looking at the purgatory on earth 400 meters away, his old face flushed with excitement.

Ya is already calculating in her heart, based on her contribution in this battle, can she ask the lord for an honorary title for fun?

However, the Xiahou official next to him put down his binoculars, remained silent and did not answer, and even frowned.

Master Kobe's heart tightened suddenly.

"Things don't seem to be that simple." Master Laurie took the binoculars from the hand of the lord, just glanced at them briefly, and shook his head while biting his teeth.

Master Kobe looked up following Master Laurie's gaze, and was immediately dumbfounded——

——A cavalry team of 50 or [-] people suddenly sprang out from the chaotic and scattered fire field, and then left behind their companions, like a cold and arrogant blade piercing the blood-red night, they continued to sprint towards the Phoenix Terrace. Come!

Master Kobe suddenly recognized that the leader of this cavalry squad was the enemy leader who was holding a kite shield torch and leading the team to the front!
This group of knights was able to stand out from the crowd of ugly colleagues. Not only did they successfully appease the mounts in the purgatory-like fire scene, but they did not even have the slightest fear or hesitation, so they devoted themselves to the road of charge without hesitation, and welcomed the glory of the battle!

This is the most fanatical fighter, this is the undisputed elite!

The death knight Clement hurriedly picked up his great rune sword, and ran downstairs with a bang.
