Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 253 - 247: Charge! Cavalry Troops!
Chapter 253: Chapter 247: Charge! Cavalry Troops!
The siege battle had reached its most crucial moment. Under the assault of the Bimong Giant Beasts and the Half-Beasts, the elves within the Black Dragon Castle were already on the brink of collapse.
Yet at this critical juncture, reinforcements for the elves arrived unexpectedly!
The reinforcements came from both the south and the north, one from the direction of the Dark Canyon and the other from the Elf Forest, specifically flanking from the mountainside.
The number of elves from each direction exceeded a thousand, and beneath them were all kinds of Demon Beasts!
Not only that, the equipment on them was far more splendid than that of the elves in the Black Dragon Castle, and even their aura was much more powerful.
*This... these were two fully armed elite Elf Cavalry units!*
*"Elves! Are there really more elves? Just how many elves have gathered in the Elf Forest?"*
Watching the sudden charge of the Elf Cavalry towards the Half-Beasts in a pincer movement, Lionheart King Imsh was in a daze.
The besieging Half-Beast Army also noticed the approach of elves on both sides, causing a slight disturbance...
*No one expected the elves to have additional forces.*
*And cavalry at that!*
*In the age of cold weapons, a cavalry charge was already a terrifying presence.*
This was equally true in the Segis World, where extraordinary powers existed!
*The combination of elves and Demon Beasts was definitely not as simple as one plus one equaling two.*
The beasts, which were allowed to be used as mounts by players and selected for the assault units, possessed Bronze-level power themselves.
Upon signing a contract, they could communicate seamlessly with players through the game system.
Complementing each other, the strength of the Cavalry players increased significantly.
Along with organization and scalability... novelbuddy.cσ๓
*These players had become a formidable force.*
On top of the city walls, players who were struggling to defend the city saw the cavalry units charging against the setting sun, and their spirits lifted:
"Ha-ha, reinforcements are here!"
"It’s the cavalry! It looks magnificent from the walls!"
"Time to counterattack!"
"Charge! Kill those Half-Beasts!"
They cheered loudly, and their morale surged.
In contrast, seeing these new enemies suddenly attacking, the Half-Beast army fell into an uproar, and their offensive briefly faltered.
On the battlefield, nothing was more feared than having the opposing side’s reinforcements arrive during a prolonged battle.
Not to mention that this was an elite cavalry unit composed of Demon Beasts and elves!
The torrent of Demon Beasts charging at high speed was already a frightening force. Even the strong Half-Beasts turned pale in the face of such an assault.
Some of the Half-Beasts on the outermost perimeter couldn’t help but start to dodge left and right, seeking to evade the elves’ charge.
However, it was already too late.
The Cavalry players, either excited or with fierce expressions, listened to the majestic and inspiring charge music specially prepared for them by Eve. Waving their weapons, they shouted and in the lead of Boxed Meal and Fried Tomato, rushed into the Half-Beast formation like a pack of mad dogs...
The sight of the cavalry charge was incredibly exhilarating.
Especially when watched from a city wall that already had a high vantage point, it enhanced the experience!
All players participating in the defense task were stunned by the scene before them.
They saw the two vast player forces from the south and north, raising clouds of dust with their deafening battle cries, crossing the mountainside from both sides and slanting into the Half-Beast army...
They were like two surging torrents or sharp knives, carrying waves of smoke and dust, with a momentum like that of a rainbow, piercing fiercely into the faintly chaotic Half-Beast Army!
In an instant, the formation of the Half-Beast Army was immediately scattered by the cavalry charge!
"Thrilling! This is war! Spectacular!"
On the city wall, Dema watched the charging player cavalry on the slope below. The magnificent scene made his blood boil, his heart swelled with passion:
"Previous games were so lame! Truly, cavalry is a man’s romance! I’ll tell everyone about the war scene in the ’Elf Kingdom’!"
The background music of the game had reached its climax.
Watching the mountain-moving cavalry charge, Dema even felt his adrenaline pumping crazily.
"Brothers! Let’s go together!"
Excited, he, thrilled, shouted, picked up the epic broadsword he had snuck back from the sentry post last night, laughing heartily, and charged valiantly towards a Bimong Giant Beast entangling with the players.
And then got swatted away with a palm...
Dema wasn’t the only one who got excited.
In fact, seeing the charge of the three-thousand-strong cavalry player unit, nearly all the defensive players erupted with excitement.
Even Li Mu grabbed his Magic Wand and joined other players in a melee against the Half-Beasts climbing the city wall.
Everyone attacked the Half-Beasts with the frenzy of a chicken on adrenaline, launching a wild counterattack!
The Cavalry players had chosen their angle wisely.
Previously, to avoid the Black Dragon Castle’s catapult, Lionheart King Imsh commanded the Half-Beast Army to spread out, resulting in nearly half of the troops not having climbed the slope of the castle, instead surrounding it from the bottom.
Moreover, as the main attackers, the Half-Beasts with Silver-level power and ten Bimongs concentrated near the Black Dragon Castle; those at the base of the slope were weaker.
*This decision was made to reduce casualties, but at this moment, it provided the Cavalry players with the best target to attack.*
They didn’t charge the Half-Beasts climbing the slope but targeted those at the base of the slope.
With this charge, the outer perimeter of the Half-Beasts at the base of the slope instantly collapsed!
The collapse of the outer forces immediately triggered a surge of the Half-Beast Army towards the slope, leading to further disorder in the entire formation...
"Damn it! Sound the horn! Order the army to stabilize the formation!"
Witnessing the heavy casualties of his army under the cavalry charge, Lionheart King Imsh turned livid and angrily ordered.
The horn slowly sounded, and the Half-Beast Army began to struggle to change formation.
However, it was already too late.
The Cavalry players, having completed a round of charges, did not stop.
They turned direction and once again charged towards the Half-Beast Army that was reshaping its formation!
The first wave of charges had already instilled fear among the Half-Beasts, and this second wave further tore their formation apart!
"Damn Elf Clan! Do you really think I’m easy to deal with?!"
Watching his ever-collapsing outer forces, Lionheart King Imsh’s eyes turned red.
"You guys continue besieging the castle. Gel, call up three Bimongs and my personal guard, and follow me to tear these Elf Cavalry apart!"
He roared angrily, ordering his trusted subordinates to continue directing the siege of the castle. Then, he drew his Lion Heart Sword, mounted his Bimong Giant Beast, along with three other robust Bimongs and his elite guard, and charged at the outer Elf Cavalry.
The Elf Cavalry was indeed formidable.
But Imsh also noted that their level wasn’t very high.
Since the outer Half-Beasts couldn’t withstand them, he, as a Gold-level High-level Professional, would take four Silver Bimongs and reorganize the outer forces to rip these damned long-eared creatures apart!
Let them see what it means to be crushed by a High-level Professional!
Accompanied by a loud horn, the Half-Beast Army changed its formation once more.
This time, Lionheart King Imsh, riding a Bimong Giant Beast, personally led an elite force towards the players’ assault team!
Lionheart King Imsh’s judgment was correct.
Compared to the elite of the Half-Beasts, the players were ultimately a bit lacking in strength.
The Half-Beast forces launched a downhill charge from the slopes, with Imsh, the Gold Professional, pressing at the front. The once-mighty player cavalry was immediately setback.
Lionheart King Imsh, riding his Bimong Giant Beast, charged into the Elf Cavalry, trampling the cavalry he encountered...
For a moment, the casualty rate of the players’ assault team soared.
"Hmph! Nothing special!"
Seeing the elves beginning to fall into disarray, Lionheart King Imsh sneered.
Just then, the sun finally set.
The entire Dark Mountain Range became shadowed.
Suddenly, Lionheart King Imsh heard a rustling sound again.
The ground trembled faintly, as if something was continuously approaching...
"What is that?"
Lionheart King Imsh looked up, his expression puzzled, yet inexplicably a bit uneasy in his heart.
*However, his puzzled expression soon froze.*
From the direction of the Dark Canyon...
A group of hideous large spiders, flanking a terrifyingly large spider, charged at the Half-Beast army!
Dusk had arrived, and darkness descended.
The Earth Cave Spiders of Spider Queen Rose set out.
