Riding and Slashing

Being chased by nearly [-] Fallen cavalry is quite troublesome. Although Roland is not a road idiot like Anson, and he grasped the route very accurately, he still made some mistakes.

Roland's precise control of the route was actually a mistake.

He shouldn't run in a straight line—those fallen warhorses don't need to rest. When running in a straight line, they can charge at the highest speed all the way. If the distance is a little longer, ordinary horses can't run them.

On the contrary, it should lead Egrem to change directions and take the 'zigzag' route, because the fallen warhorse, like the fallen one, has lost most of its flexibility, and its reaction and turning are very slow, so it can rely on constant flexible changes to get rid of it they.

But it was only after being chased for several miles that Roland discovered this situation, and it was too late to make adjustments... because the Gatum horse his own troops rode was already quite tired after the five-mile continuous high-speed sprint.

As a result, Roland only led Aigrem six miles away, and had to shoot a loud arrow to call for reinforcements.

His troops were overtaken.

Li Ang and Lisa Dilan discovered the loud arrows shooting into the sky in time, but when they led their troops to respond, Roland's troops were already entangled.

Roland himself is extremely skilled, and he is not easily affected by Agrim's spells, so nothing happened to him.

But his soldiers were in big trouble.

Together with Irano, these fighters from the Raven Realm were a bit difficult to face the Fallen Cavalry—their attacks were not lethal to the Fallen.

Although their archery skills are not bad, it is more difficult to accurately shoot through the brain of the fallen man - even if they shoot correctly, their strength cannot penetrate the black helmet of the ghost of the fallen man.

Not to mention hand-to-hand combat, even the muscular men of the Silver Hand couldn't defeat the Fallen in hand-to-hand combat, and these mediocre fighters from Ravencrows were naturally no match.

The only thing worthy of praise is their courage.

Almost every warrior was fighting for their lives, trying to hold back the fallen army so that Roland could escape from here.

Roland's recruitment of subordinates mainly depends on character, and most of his subordinates indeed have good morals that are willing to sacrifice.

But it was precisely because of this good character that Roland did not escape alone - the sacrifice of his subordinates gave him plenty of time to escape from the battlefield, but he turned back twice to rescue his troops...

Sometimes kindness is a sin.

Because kindness will make it difficult for people to stop when they are done, and it will easily cause greater losses.

When Li Ang arrived with the Noldor, more than half of Roland's men had been killed or injured.

There are about a thousand fallen cavalry currently present, and there are also many fallen cavalry approaching in the distance. They should have fallen behind when chasing Roland before.

And Roland himself was being besieged by some fallen ghosts, and beside him were the former Dawn Knights brought by Leonard.

Another group of Fallen who lined up relatively closely was circling behind, and they should be preparing to complete the encirclement.

Li Ang didn't see where Egrim was. It was probably mixed with the ghosts of the Fallen—the group of ghosts surrounded by the Fallen were densely packed, and it seemed that the whole team was emitting black mist.

When a group of Fallen ghosts move together, it can be difficult to tell who is Ulgrim, since they all look the same.

Riding the same horses, wearing similar helmets, and all monsters with skinless flesh and big eyes.

People do look pretty much the same when they lose their skin.

The only difference is the armor on their bodies - many of them are the armor they wore before losing their souls, and some of them are still wearing Dawn Knight armor.

But the problem is that their armor and helmets do not match, and many fallen people even have two different gloves...

In other words, Egrem must have changed the equipment of these ghosts of the fallen. It is estimated that it is just to minimize the loss of the ghosts of the fallen, and it does not consider whether it is complete or not.

This is a demon who only pays attention to practicality, and can kill those with obsessive-compulsive disorder...

This made the team of Fallen Ghosts look like a mess of equipment, but it made it even more difficult to tell which one was Egrem.

Perhaps, every Ghost of the Fallen can be regarded as Egrem, because the black mist has been surging in the queue and can completely cover that group of Ghosts of the Fallen.

This may be Egrem's way of fighting - it can switch its body at any time, trying to catch it on the battlefield, unless it kills the ghost of the fallen until it is the last one left.

Roland's troops were already intermingled with the fallen ones. Even if the rangers of the Noldor had excellent shooting skills, they were not suitable for long-range attacks. If they wanted to save him, they had to charge directly.

Li Ang did not hesitate, taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield, and the number of Fallen cavalry here in Egrem was not large, so he directly led the team to charge - there is no way, the gate of the abyss is still on Roland, without this Shit, the whole plan goes bankrupt.

Moreover, Roland must be rescued before the fallen fallen cavalry who are behind approach, otherwise the gap between the enemy and our forces will become wider and wider.

Perhaps Egrim was indeed quite afraid of the Noldor elves, and the group of Fallen ghosts emitting black mist did not fight, and the other Fallen also separated their hands to form a defensive formation after Li Ang charged.

Li Ang's heart sank a little - there were nearly a thousand fallen cavalry, facing the more than 400 Noldo troops, the difference in strength was more than double, but Egrem actually took a defensive position?
Obviously, Egrim was well aware of the fighting power of the Noldor troops.

But Li Ang has already ordered the charge, so he can only charge to the end - if he can't charge through the enemy's formation, he will be surrounded and beaten after being forced to stop.

The impact of the Noldors is actually not that strong, because they are all lightly loaded and fast horses, and their weight and potential energy are not too big.

But the Noldor rode lightly, at least with great speed and great agility.

Leon also didn't intend to command the Noldor like he commanded the Pendor Lancers, in fact he didn't command at all, and he gave the task of leading the troops to Lisadilan.

And he himself took a few masters as the front row stormtroopers.

These masters are actually the four Twilight Knights in the Noldor army.

Wendy brought over 400 Donodo fighters, four of them were Twilight Knights, and two of them were old acquaintances of Li Ang, Sai Deren and Neuer.

Sai Deren has actually become a resident of White Hart Castle - he is now in charge of the security of the Noldor Trading Market.

And Neuer is the captain of the Noldor mercenaries sent by Islandil to earn extra money, and he is also the captain of the patrol.

The other two Twilight Knights are also patrol captains. There are three Noldor patrols, each from three tribes.

Several twilight knights guarded Li Ang's left and right, and the five knights were in the shape of arrows, forming the forefront of the cavalry charge.

A group of fallen cavalry formed a row, and after slowly driving their horses around, they faced Li Ang.

"Through them!"

Seeing that the enemy turned slowly and did not have time to accelerate, Li Ang ordered to penetrate head-on.

With an extended lance in his left hand, he stabbed a fallen man in the neck and knocked him off the horse.

The lance snapped.

Afterwards, Li Ang backhanded his sword and slashed at the fallen horse that had lost its owner.

The head of the fallen war horse flew up while the two horses staggered, and the bloody horse fell down.

Everyone fell down, but there was no hissing or screaming, and the fallen man with a half spear hanging around his neck was not dead!
It even stood up unsteadily, and the half of the lance around its neck swung back and forth as it turned around, almost sweeping the two Noldor Rangers behind from their horses.

"Don't get entangled with them! Kill as many horses as you can!"

Li Ang glanced back, and shouted to the Noldor behind him.

It really can't be entangled, because the fallen are not easy to be killed, they must be beheaded, and it is not worthwhile to fight hand-to-hand.

The Noldor all used swords and shields. Although the Noldor swords were top-quality and powerful, they were short weapons after all. When fighting cavalry, it was difficult for short weapons to cut off the opponent's head.

There is only a momentary chance when two horses pass by each other, but this chance is too rare, because the fallen will also raise their shields to protect their heads.

The fallen are not undead, they just lost their flexibility, but they still have fighting consciousness.

Only those fallen warhorses are easier to be attacked - the position of the horse's head is closer to the front, and with the speed of the charge, it is possible for the Noldor to cut off the opponent's horse's head with a single sword. I can't catch up.

Li Ang drew another sword in his left hand, and now, he holds two swords in each hand - Dragon's Fang in his left hand, and Griffin Sword in his right.

Going to the battlefield without a shield is actually a bad habit, but Li Ang really doesn't like to use a shield...

Fortunately, the Fallen lacked long-range attack methods, so it was no problem without a shield.

These walking dead have lost their flexibility and slow response, so they may really not be suitable for using bows and crossbows.

As for melee combat... it's useless to bring a shield - Sai Deren on Li Ang's left is holding a shield, but his shield only received a sword from a fallen ghost, and then flew out...

His shield is not just held by hand, but is tied to the forearm by a belt, which is usually not so easy to release.

However, the belt tied to Sedren's left forearm broke under the blow of the Fallen!
In fact, the Noldor Enchanted Shield was of good quality and was not damaged at all.But Sedren's left hand was obviously numb from the shock, and he shook his head in horror after doing two stretches on his side.

The difference in strength was too great, and the shield couldn't stand it. Sedren's forearm was not fractured or dislocated, so he was already considered as a Twilight Knight.

Li Ang wielded two swords, rushed to the front and slashed all the way, but nothing went wrong.

His movements are much faster than those of the Fallen, and the two swords in his hands are extremely sharp national treasure weapons, and the result is good if he fights fast and slow.

The Dragon's Fang was indeed wasted in the hands of Gregory IV, and this sword should be used on the battlefield.

Not long after, Li Ang led the team to kill through two waves of Fallen who were intercepting head-on, and there was no obstacle between him and Roland.

"Roland, keep up with the troops!"

While approaching Roland, Li Ang shouted loudly.

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, Roland fell off his horse—unfortunately, at this moment, Roland's horse was hacked to death.

"Throw me the code!"

Li Ang reacted quickly, knowing that the cavalry that was charging could not stop at this time, and Roland lost his horse and couldn't keep up with the large army, so he could only use the gate of the abyss to lure Egreme away!
"Don't run in a straight line!"

Roland yelled loudly, and threw out the Heresy Codex with a wave of his hand, but Li Ang had a sword in both hands, so it was difficult to catch it.

He simply stretched out his sword and strung the code onto the sword.

"Egreme!"

Li Ang yelled, and rushed across the battlefield with the sword in his left hand, and chopped down a fallen man beside Leonard with his right hand along the way.

The Ghost of the Fallen who had been watching the battle finally reacted. This army began to speed up silently, but it didn't rush towards Li Ang, but towards Roland in the middle of the battlefield!

Egreme is very cunning!
"Egrem! Don't you want this thing?!"

Li Ang roared loudly, the dragon's fangs provoked the heresy and lifted it high above his head, the cover and a part of the parchment were pierced by his sword, and the pages of the gate of the abyss made of ebony jingled on the sword .

"Roar……"

A dull roar came from among the ghosts of the fallen, and the sound shook the whole field.

Seeing that Li Ang was holding the code of law with his sword, as if he was going to destroy the gate of the abyss, Egrem seemed really anxious.

This roar may be some kind of instruction, probably to mark the target. Following this roar, the fallen troops began to turn collectively, and the fallen who were besieging Roland also rushed towards Li Ang.

Moreover, that dull roar seemed to have magical powers, and it could cause harm to people from a long distance. At this time, Li Ang felt dizzy as if he had been hit on the head by a giant hammer, and stars shot out in front of his eyes.

Roland's subordinates were more or less affected, and Leonard even fell directly under the horse.

This is Egrem's soul spell?

Can hit a person's soul across hundreds of meters, or attack in a large area...

With this kind of skill, human troops can't fight it at all!Fortunately, I didn't fight it head-on!

Li Ang turned his head to look. Fortunately, the Noldors were not affected in any way.

Egrem didn't make such a roar again. It is estimated that such a large-scale spell consumes a lot.

"Lisa Dilan! Shoot left and right!"

Li Ang shook his head, and there was still a dull pain between his brows. Instead of turning his head back, he picked up the heresy code with his sword, and rushed forward as if holding a banner.

It seems that what the prophetess Midea said is correct. Leon has evil thoughts in his heart, and his soul is not pure enough. It is indeed not suitable to be close to Egreme-Roland is hardly affected. While the fallen people turn their heads to surround Leon, Roland solves the problem. They killed the enemies around them, and helped Leonard and the others back onto their horses.

The fallen troops began to flank Li Ang, and the Noldo rangers behind them could finally use their horsemanship and archery skills, mainly shooting arrows towards the left and right sides, slowing down the speed of the fallen cavalry's flanking, and avoiding the team being trapped.

Egrem's ability to command troops without sending orders is quite terrifying, and almost all the fallen cavalry followed the best route to encircle them.

If you look down from the sky, Li Ang's team looks like an extremely fast centipede, being surrounded by swarms of ants from all directions, and these ants will also consider the amount of advance, and will move ahead of Li Ang!
"All to the right!...All follow me!"

Knowing that he would be affected by the spell, Li Ang stopped fighting. He handed his sword to Neuer, and asked the Twilight Knight to hold two swords and take on the task of opening the way.

During the charge just now, Li Ang saw that the fallen horse's turn and reaction were slow, and he led the troops to make various rapid turns.

Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, irregularly.

But on the whole, it seems that it is actually going in a circle, gradually heading towards the expected battlefield in the process of constantly changing directions.

The twisting and turning trajectory had an effect. The fallen warhorse really couldn't keep up with this flexible change of direction, and the amount of advance considered by Egreme didn't work. Gradually, all the fallen cavalry fell behind.

Roland and his men didn't waste another chance this time. After getting the opportunity to break through, they rushed out from the opposite direction, avoiding the main battlefield.

The wind is getting stronger, dark clouds have covered the sky, and the sky is getting darker.

In the clouds, some flashes of light can already be seen faintly.

Thunderstorm is coming.

But Li Ang couldn't keep the troops running at high speed, or the horse would be overwhelmed.

After running for two miles, you have to slow down, wait for the Fallen troops behind to catch up, then use acceleration to change directions, and then slow down.

Li Ang wasn't sure if he could lure Egrem under the giant tree within the given time, and he wasn't sure if he could hold Egrem under the giant tree until the thunder struck.

It is up to man to plan, but heaven to accomplish. This sentence is especially evident at this time.

The galloping cavalry brought grass clippings all the way, and the horseshoes rumbled, plowing out a black mud behind them.

The hillside was very close, and the sparse water droplets had begun to fall, and the sky was almost completely dark. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it seemed that dusk had passed.

But just after Li Ang led the team up the gentle slope, Egrem's army of fallen people stopped chasing...

A large group of fallen ghosts stopped at the foot of the hillside, as if they were observing something, or they might be waiting for the fallen behind.

Li Ang frowned. He realized that Egrem might have sensed an abnormality—after being led to run for more than a dozen miles, no matter how hard he tried to grab the code of heresy, he would always feel abnormal.

After all, it was seduced once not long ago, and it didn't chase Roland blindly at that time.

However, seeing that the time to eliminate Egrem is at hand, how can we stop it?

Li Ang lit a fire on the top of the hillside. It was a large pile of firewood prepared in advance. The raw materials were the branches and leaves of the trees that were sawn down in the morning. Under the tallest giant tree, a 20-meter-diameter fire was formed. Wood pile group.

And the heresy code was thrown onto the giant tree by force.

Two Noldor elves stood on the branches of the giant tree, and they stuck the Codex in the middle of the trunk at least 40 meters above the ground, which was the pass where the tree had been struck by lightning.

"Aigrem, do you want the gate of the abyss? Come here one-on-one! You can save it by defeating me!!"

Li Ang put his hands together and shouted loudly.

The thunderstorm is approaching, and sparse water droplets are falling from the sky, but these water droplets have no effect on the prepared bonfire. The flames quickly swallowed the trunk at the bottom of the giant tree. The two Noldor elves on the tree came from the side A big horizontal branch jumped down.

Li Ang lit this thousand-year-old giant tree on fire.

He also added a bucket of oil to the fire in front of Agram.

The fire roared up, the flames were more than three meters high, and the gloomy sky was illuminated again.

The heresy code was placed on a high place that was difficult to reach.

Of course, this was not a random idea, everything was just going according to plan.

Of course, the pages of the Gate of the Abyss made of ebony are difficult to damage, but being difficult does not mean that they cannot be burned at all—as long as the fire lasts long enough, and as long as the temperature of the flame core is high enough, the ebony will also melt.

And this giant tree itself means a large amount of high-quality fuel - if the giant tree with a diameter of seven meters at the bottom is allowed to burn, it will not burn out for three days and three nights.

But the current situation is a bit later than Li Ang expected - the lightning can already be seen in the clouds, if you don't lead Egreme under the tree within a few minutes, you will miss the lightning strike!
"Roar……"

The huge roar came again, and Li Ang's mind became dizzy again.

Then, Egreme finally spoke: "Stop! That's the gate of heaven! You can't destroy it!"

The voice sounded charming, husky, deep, but magnetic.

but……

Heaven's Gate?

Isn't it the gate of the abyss?
