The Witcher: From the Academy of Knights

Chapter 136 War Elephant Charge
The sky in the distance gradually turned white, and bright light fell on the earth.

Fels, the Duke of the Western Territory, did not show up on the battlefield for a long time. Orens couldn't bear it anymore, and even ordered the army to charge.

In the sky, a huge black shadow passed by.

Behind the army, Sauron's eyes flickered. By sharing his vision with Lal, he tried his best to search for the traces of Fels, the Duke of the West.

However, nothing was found.

The [-] troops from the Western Territory were assembled in the Wind's Rest Plain. However, Fiers, as the coach, seemed to have no intention of participating in the war at all.

"What the hell does he want to do?"

Sauron's eyes flickered, and suddenly his heart moved. Through Rale's vision, he spotted a familiar figure behind the Western Territory Army.

"Norma Ross?"

Sauron narrowed his eyes slightly, and recognized that the skinny old man, who looked like a mummy, was the quasi-wizard Normaros of the Tower of the Dead.

The Duke of the West was nowhere to be seen, but Normaros appeared on the battlefield.

"Not right!"

There was a throbbing in Sauron's heart, and a dignified expression appeared on his face. The appearance of Normaros obviously represented some layout of the Duke of the West Territory.

Rumble!
Just as Sauron was thinking, there was a tremor from the ground, and from the rear of the Western Territory Army, two behemoths appeared on the battlefield.

"Is that... a war elephant?"

Orens' pupils shrank, looking at the giant beast sent by the Western Territory Army, with a serious expression on his face.

The huge beasts like hills are two gray-black elephants, with curved tusks like blades, and every time the huge elephant feet trample on the ground, they make a trembling sound.

"Humph!"

Orens snorted coldly, and said, "Has Phils lost his mind? Just two war elephants, do you think they can decide the outcome of the battle?"

While speaking, he raised the cross sword in his hand.

In this world, on the battlefield, the strong can often dominate everything. When Orens was a high-ranking knight, he once killed creatures stronger than war elephants.

Just two war elephants are not enough to make him feel intimidated.

On the battlefield, the sound of drums shook the sky, and the two armies charged and began to fight each other. The war elephants might not be considered a threat in the eyes of senior knights, but to ordinary soldiers, they were a disaster.

Rumble!
But he saw two war elephants rampaging, and wherever they went, soldiers were trampled into a pulp. Seeing this, Lan Nuo, the white wolf knight, flashed eager luster in his eyes.

The next moment, Lan Nuo rode away.

"Death to me!"

The White Wolf Knight raised his hand and raised a spear, and threw it at a war elephant in the distance. With the fierce sound of breaking through the air, the spear hit the war elephant.

However, the two war elephants seem to possess unusual defensive capabilities.

Even the spears thrown by the high-ranking knights couldn't pierce their skin, but instead slid to the ground with a puff.

"Damn beast!"

An ugly look appeared on Lan Nuo's face. Although he was a senior knight, he was not good at long-distance attack, and the power of the spear he threw was limited.

"Get out of the way, I'll come!"

Orens shouted loudly, then raised the cross sword in his hand, and the life seeds in his body exploded, rushing towards a war elephant like a god of war.

Ahead, the war elephant let out a low growl.

However, it raised its long nose and waved it like a whip. The surrounding soldiers dispersed one after another, and only Orens jumped up.

brush!
The cross sword slashed like an afterimage, and the sharp sword light cut off the elephant's trunk in an instant, but no blood flowed from the wound.

Instead, it was a black liquid with a foul smell.

Orens' heart sank.

The war elephant had its nose cut off, but it didn't show any pain at all. Instead, its gray pupils showed a cold luster.

"very good!"

In the distance, there was a strange smile on Norma Rose's face, as if he had finally waited for the time, he murmured an obscure incantation.

The next moment, strange incantations appeared on the surface of the war elephant whose nose had been cut off.

"Father, get out of the way!"

Sauron felt that a magic power was about to erupt in the war elephant, so he shouted loudly, and at the same time rushed to Orens at the fastest speed.

Bang! !

The war elephant transformed by Normaros' witchcraft swelled like a giant whale, and then burst open suddenly, and the strong impact spread like a wave of air.

On the battlefield, soldiers from both sides had already been fighting together.

With the explosion of the war elephants, both the soldiers from the Western Territory and the soldiers from Night Crow City suffered equal injuries and suffered heavy casualties.

However, Orens, who was the closest, was the first to bear the brunt.

The terrifying impact of the explosion seemed to be enough to destroy everything. Even a great knight could hardly escape under such destruction.

"cough!"

As the air waves surged, Orens stepped back one after another. He raised his head with difficulty, but saw a white bone shield appear in front of him at some point.

Under the impact of the war elephant explosion, the bone shield was shattered.

"Fortunately we caught up."

Sauron breathed a sigh of relief, holding the bone wand tightly in his hand. If he hadn't summoned the bone shield in time when the war elephant exploded just now, Orens would have been seriously injured even if he didn't die.

However, even with the bone shield, which blocked most of the impact, Orens was slightly injured.

However, this injury is not enough to make the big knight lose his combat effectiveness.

"Is it the means of a wizard?"

Orens' face was slightly pale, and there was a trace of fear in his heart. For him, the threat of war elephants was not too great.

But the explosion just now almost seriously injured him.

"Damn kid, spoil my good deeds!"

In the distance, Norma Rose's face was gloomy. When he saw the bone wand in Sauron's hand, there was an undisguised killing intent in his eyes.

The next moment, his mind moved.

Another war elephant stomped on the ground, rampaging on the battlefield, but this time, the soldiers who aimed for the elephant to blew themselves backed away.

Not only the army under Orens' command, but also the soldiers of the western border.

The damage caused by the explosion of the war elephant was an indiscriminate attack. Even the great knight could not bear it. Ordinary soldiers would be wiped out in an instant if they had no time to dodge.

"Father, something is wrong!"

In the same place, Sauron's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice: "Duke Fels is not on this battlefield, and the iron cavalry of Stormwind City did not show up either!"

Orens' face was as gloomy as water.

Now that the situation has developed, he still can't see that he has fallen into Fiers' trick. Although the other party has assembled the army in the Wind's Rest Plain, he has no belief in a decisive battle.

On the contrary, none of the elite troops under Phils took part in the battle.

"Moon Mountain City!"

Gritting his teeth, Orens thought of a possibility. If Phils hadn't appeared here, then his target might be Yueshan City.

There is the retreat route of Orens, if captured, he will fall into a situation where he is surrounded by enemies.
