The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

Chapter 521 Capture the Flag

The chaotic battlefield was filled with smoke and dust rising into the sky.

In addition, Reina had already thrown the cavalry into the battlefield, and the cavalry was coming from the side and behind, so it was in a blind spot.

If they hadn't turned around a lot as they were about to leave at this moment, they still wouldn't be able to see this.

After Count Ani turned around and saw it, he hurriedly jumped down from the watchtower with Parame, regardless of who the cavalry was.

The magic cloak of the Wings of Flight automatically triggered the levitation spell, bringing the two of them to the ground smoothly.

After landing, Count Aini felt at ease and quickly deployed his defenses to prepare for retreat.

When I was watching from the watchtower just now, I could see that it was a very fast team, obviously cavalry.

Although Aini's personal cavalry were all defeated in the hands of the knight commander who was trusted by him, he also trained a group of high-level infantry.

The lowest level of this group of infantry is level 6, and at least half of them are free folk.

Although recruiting soldiers is more loyal, only free folk can wear equipment other than the basics.

Magic equipment may not be much better than whiteboard equipment in terms of offensive and defensive attributes, but magic equipment has special effects and can cope with more scenarios.

For example, each of Rena's troops was as if they were covered with steel plates. They did not neglect their defensive capabilities and could not attack any soldiers, no matter they were mid-level or high-level soldiers.

Except for a few types of soldiers such as berserkers who ignore defense, other warriors need to be equipped with armor-piercing weapons.

Among the infantrymen trained by Aini, 1,500 were specially selected with the best talents, and mixed with half of them to recruit soldiers. They passed the training ground at great cost and were promoted to the highest level.

These 3,000 infantrymen and 1,000 berserkers are treated as killers, and their treatment is even better than that of the Guards Cavalry, because these people are used as death squads.

In addition, Aini is accompanied by 1,000 sword masters and 1,000 royal guard captains.

The Sword Master's Wind Step is very easy to use and can be used for covert protection. Although his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the 8th level Sword Master in the stronghold, he is very good in single combat or dealing with assassins and the like.

As for the royal guards and the captain of the guard, they are the real core of defense.

These guys are very difficult to train even at the same level. Among Aini's 3000 cores, only these royal guard chiefs are still mainly 6th level royal guards.

There was no way, these royal guards devoted all their limited offensive capabilities to defense.

Not only are they extremely good at using shields, with armor and health that far exceed those of the same level, they are also particularly good at blocking, and have the special ability to bear damage for friendly forces behind them.

It can be said that as long as they are around, no one can harm the protected person behind them.

Even this time, it would not work if the person leading the cavalry charge was the ninth-level fearless knight Tahan.

Tahan, who switched to an offensive stance, did not move with the large army.

It can be said that the real core of the entire Qingfeng Legion is not Reina who leads the army, but Tahan, Xu Lai's confidant and the only 9th-level knight.

Xu Lai upgraded so many heroic knights just for Tahan.

But this time, Tahan did not bring a large number of heroic knights, but left half for Naaru.

He himself only brought 188 heroic knights, plus 11 holy light knights, a total of 200 people.

The Holy Light Knight is to provide protection for the heroic knights, but he himself does not need any protection.

With Reina's defensive effect and the fearless knight's damage reduction effect, he wasn't too worried even if it was a spell attack. Physical attacks could not cause him any harm at all.

Moreover, the fearless armor can not only help him absorb damage, but also convert the absorbed damage into attacks.

Therefore, Tahan would not use sacred armor for himself. Invincible not only helped him block the attack, but also reduced his damage in disguise.

The 200 of them left the main force early and circled most of the way before appearing behind Aini and the others out of sight.

The grassland environment is really not suitable for setting up ambushes. The knights around Aini have been cleared out long ago. As long as he still has hundreds of cavalry for reconnaissance, Tahan will not get so close.

Although Reina is good at bringing down the enemy, she still has to complete the tasks assigned by Xu Lai.

Therefore, considering that Aini had enough troops to split into two groups, she formulated a tactical policy early on to use herself to attract large enemy troops and allow Tahan to surprise and behead them.

Unfortunately, the battlefield situation changed very quickly, and Lena also did not expect that Jimmy would come out to disrupt the situation, forcing her to have a head-on decisive battle with the enemy in advance.

As a result, the enemy's morale was quickly defeated. From her perspective, the enemy was clearly in a retreating posture.

The key is that her troops are all blocked by Aini's abandoned sons, and they will never be able to break through in a short time.

As for Aini, in addition to the infantry guards, there are also a total of 40,000 to 50,000 main troops nearby.

These troops were both chasing Jimi's troops and retreating while taking advantage of the situation.

Although he is somewhat disconnected from Aini because of this, he is still nearby after all.

This also means that once Tahan misses a hit, he will immediately be surrounded by endless soldiers from the opponent. .

It is not that easy for 200 riders to break through an army of 50,000, even in a magical world with heroes.

If in order to win this battle, the Fearless Knights, which Xu Lai valued most, was compromised here, then she would probably never get the chance to lead the army independently in the future.

Reina couldn't help but frown, and ordered Brandi not to worry about the rear, and charged towards the Aini flag at full speed.

However, Brandy led the infantry. The infantry's defensive capabilities were relatively strong, but their offensive capabilities were relatively weak.

After thinking about it, Reina simply let the direction follow her and rushed out at full speed from both sides of the infantry.

The troops that had already started to collapse became even more serious after being suppressed by such a strong force.

However, near them were the cavalry led by Joseph and Nalu. Even if these people wanted to run, they could not run on four legs.

Naru and the others don't have to do anything. They only need to rely on their speed to crush and impact back and forth. They can trample many of these broken soldiers to death by themselves.

"Surrender and avoid death!"

At this time, under Reina's signal, the charging knights shouted the slogans they had prepared long ago.

Anna led the priest and began to receive and treat the surrendered soldiers.

There is no way to recruit soldiers. After they have fled for a period of time, even their former owners need to recruit them again, or let them become wild monsters.

But most of the soldiers recruited under Aini came from recruitment and employment, and at least half of them were affiliated with other nobles.

Most of these people have no loyalty to Aini. They are just limited by the strict laws of the empire over the years and the influence of the temple, so they dare not rebel easily.

Otherwise, if the conditions on Xu Lai's side were so good, and the battle was slightly sluggish, most of the soldiers with civilian backgrounds might have already thought about how to defect.

However, no matter how stringent the law or how great the impact, it is not as important as survival.

The morale had been emptied, and even the recruited soldiers had collapsed. Why didn't they surrender?

Fortunately, the recruited soldiers were constantly being dispersed. Otherwise, the only one or two thousand soldiers left in Reina's hands would not be able to suppress so many surrendered troops.

There was no other way. The two cavalry teams in Reina's hands had to be split up and used. One team was used to cover up and drive them away, and used the scattered recruited soldiers to attack the troops in the rear whose morale had not returned to zero.

The other team was used for intimidation and patrolling, and was no longer able to support Tahan.

It's a pity that in order to prevent the priests and priests' healing spells from becoming ineffective, Reina still did not equip the magic ball.

Otherwise, when Aini jumped from a watchtower dozens of meters high, he might have died on the spot.

Aini was not thrown to death, but his life was definitely not easy either.

With the flag waving, he discovered that only a handful of troops turned around to rescue him.

Some people really didn't see it and just chased Jimmy for who knows how far.

Some used the excuse of pursuit to chase instead of escape. After all, judging from the information they received, Aini might be in serious trouble this time.

And even if Aini himself could escape this time, he would not dare to boss them around after losing his troops. Instead, he would have to rely on them even more.

And they themselves don't need to cling to Aini's not-so-thick thigh.

When Jimmy chose to rebel before, apart from Ani who felt humiliated, everyone was equally baffled.

They couldn't figure out why Jimmy would betray Aini and choose an unknown advent hero, even though this advent hero had just shown his strength.

Now they do have some regrets. They regret that they still follow Aini to seek death despite knowing that it is definitely not easy for an advent hero to possess an artifact like the Doomsday Blade.

After a lot of trouble, not only the soldiers accumulated after the battle with the orcs were lost, but even the old man lost a lot.

The key is not to know whether Xu Lai will care.

With the strength shown by the female elf today, she might not be able to capture too many cities, but capturing one or two major cities shouldn't be a big problem.

At this time, the only ones who are willing to work hard for Aini are probably Aini's confidants.

At this moment, if no one comes to rescue, it can only mean that Aini has failed as a person and has no one trustworthy.

Even if someone came to rescue them, the charging speed of this group of knights was too fast and astonishing.

The troops blocking their front were almost all made of paper, and they shattered into pieces as soon as they were pushed over.

But the enemy's speed didn't feel like it was decreasing at all after breaking through all the obstacles.

In fact, the charging speed still dropped, but Tahan and the others were getting closer and closer to Aini, but Aini felt that the opponent was getting faster and faster.

In a hurry, Aini didn't care about looking for any magic, and instinctively released a slow magic.

The effect of the slow method is obvious. It reduces the basic movement speed, so even the acceleration effect brought by charging is weakened a lot.

Tahan is not a hero, nor is he a mage. There is no good way to remove the effect of the slow magic.

Fortunately, there are 11 Holy Light Knights in the team, and the holy armor of each Holy Light Knight can cover 18 units.

And this unit, including Tahan, only has 189 people, and there is still room for mistakes for 9 people.

Tahan was very particular about the arrangement of the Holy Light Knights, basically ensuring that everyone could be covered.

After becoming invincible, neither slowness debuffs nor damage spells can take effect anymore.

The knights, who already have strong defenses, can no longer take any damage for one minute after being invulnerable.

Now, all enemies in front can no longer form an obstacle.

They didn't even have the ability to resist. If they were a little slower to dodge, they would be trampled directly by the war horses.

"Mage, please stop them immediately."

There were also a thousand royal guards and captains surrounding him, but looking at the invincible cavalry, Aini panicked from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, Parame didn't dare to delay. He quickly took out a scroll from his arms while chanting spells.

He knew that one or two spells could not stop the opponent. At this time, he could only tear the scroll and fire two spells in succession.

Unfortunately, in their rush, they all ignored the failure of the slow spell just now.

Sure enough, Paramei's two powerful spells, an enhanced version of the Burning Sky Wall, and flames that were more than ten meters high, failed to affect the knights at all.

The remaining Hellfire is even more ridiculous. Not only did it fail to affect the knights, but many of our own soldiers were burned to death by the huge Hellfire.

Compared with the enemy's attack, dying under one's own attack has a more fatal impact on morale.

Of course, Aini no longer cared about losing that bit of morale. Seeing that two consecutive spells failed to stop the opponent, he chose to let the royal guards take the initiative to intercept.

He hoped that these royal guards could buy him more time so that subsequent troops could arrive to support him.

But the royal guards, who he had high hopes for, were fine against ordinary infantry, but against the heroic knights who were in an invincible state and whose attacks were multiplied by 4 or 5 times by charging, it was like an ant blocking an elephant.

On the wide grassland, 200 knights were divided into 4 rows and 50 columns, charging forward in parallel.

The royal guards blocking the front fell down in rows. The two in front were like mowing grass and had no impact at all.

However, they used their own lives to offset the damage accumulated by the knights with their speed.

By the time the knights get close again, they won't be able to pick up the speed yet.

Once caught in a melee, the knights will be unable to increase their speed, and will never be able to gain attack bonuses again.

However, seeing that more than 600 of his own royal guards could only resist the enemy for about half a minute, Aini was completely desperate.

Although Tahan and the others' invincible time has ended, Aini only has more than 300 royal guards around him.

As they got closer, Aini, who was good at using cavalry in combat, still didn't know what kind of people were rushing towards them.

They were 8th-level heroic knights and 8th-level holy light knights. Not only were they of a higher level than the more than 300 royal guards of his own, but the bonuses from the heroes were also greater than what Aini had given them.

Therefore, a rational analysis shows that he and the more than 300 captains of guards are unable to resist these knights.

Then, the only way is to find a way out of here before the enemy beheads you.

Aini's HP is quite high and his defense is very thick, but no matter how thick the defense is, it cannot withstand the charging cavalry.

Fortunately, Reina was not equipped with a forbidden magic ball, which allowed Ani to let Parame use the teleportation spell to take him away at this life-or-death moment.

It's a pity that Parame can only take away a few people, but almost none of the captains of guards carefully trained by Aini can be taken away.

Moreover, although the Aini people are gone, the flag representing him is still there.

In a hurry, Aini didn't care about his flag. Anyway, as soon as he left, the soldiers who lost the blessing of his attributes would be even less likely to be the enemy's opponent.

Besides, he has already escaped, and it is obviously impossible for the troops here to recover.

Just because he doesn't know that he can't recycle it doesn't mean that others can't either.

Tahan charged forward, and with the ignored defense effect brought by the giant beast flag, even the seventh-level guard captain was like paper.

But no matter how fast he rushed, he could not catch up with Aini after all. He only had time to stab the knight holding the flag to death with a hasty shot. (End of chapter)
