Chapter 165: Gathering

In the military tent at the center of the fortress, Lu He sat calmly at the head of the tent, his eyes slightly closed.

A strong magical power surrounded him.

At a certain moment.

Large spider web-like patterns quickly appeared on his skin, which were like cracks and showed a faint red color.

The patterns lasted for a few breaths and soon disappeared again.

Qi and blood flower protection spell.

A first-level defensive spell, engraved flesh and blood runes on the skin, using the blood and qi of the body as the energy source, forming a powerful defensive force field around the body.

Although he has only recovered to the strength of a high-level apprentice now, he still has the foundation of a first-level wizard, and he can still cast some simple spells after spending some time.

Many people will die in war.

Lu He is afraid of death and does not want to die, so he prepared defensive spells on himself in advance.

In addition, he also prepared some other back-ups. Even if he meets a sky knight, there is no doubt that he cannot beat him.

But escaping is definitely no problem.

Although it may not be needed, it is better to be prepared.

"Captain, the cavalry regiment has been assembled."

"Captain, the knights have been assembled."

Brigadier General Andre and Colonel Eugene came to the meeting room and reported to Lu He who was sitting on the chair.

Lu He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two people who were already wearing heavy black armor, and nodded slightly.

It took less than half an hour from the time he issued the order to the time the two assembled the troops.

This speed, placed on the earth in the era of cold weapons, can definitely be called the world's first cavalry.

"Zoro... why did you suddenly assemble the troops?"

Andre did not call the commander of the legion, but asked in the tone of an elder.

He was a little worried that Zoro was a teenager, assembling troops to show off and play around, because he did not receive any intelligence about the enemy's abnormal mobilization.

As for the scout, he thought it was normal for the enemy's spies to appear near the military fortress.

"Peter City seems to have some ideas about me, so let's go and see." Lu He explained with a smile.

He found clues from the peeper's memory.

The peeper was Scott, a sergeant of the reconnaissance company of the Third Legion of Peter City. He received an order from his superiors two days ago to come here to confirm whether he was in the Black Stone Fortress.

There were three other people who came with him, but Lu He only found Scott just now.

He felt that this behavior was abnormal. Why did they send so many people to confirm whether he was in the fortress?

He was not a treasure, so why was he so excited?

Since he wanted to know so much, Lu He planned to tell them in person that he was here.

Conquer the enemy and conquer your own people at the same time.

In preparation for the subsequent explosion of troops, it is difficult to control the first-level extraordinary, after all, he himself is only the first level.

He can use spells to control their life and death, but he cannot control their thoughts and bodies, especially large-scale control, which is impossible in a short period of time.

In the past two days, he has been simulating the idea of ​​the Pale Seal's complete control of the soul in his mind.

Although he has not done experiments in reality, Lu He knows that it is highly unlikely to work, because the soul of a first-level extraordinary is not as simple as that of an ordinary creature.

One or two is fine, but more will definitely not work.

Of course, it’s not that the Pale Seal spell is not working. You have to know that the Pale Seal is likely created by the ancestor.

He couldn’t imagine how high the ancestor’s rank was, anyway, it was higher than the sky, so how could the spell created by the ancestor not work.

The fundamental reason is that he himself can’t do it.

“Let’s go.”

Lu He stood up, and his mental power instantly covered his whole body, fine-tuning every inch of his flesh and blood to achieve the best condition.

He didn’t wear armor, or most knights wouldn’t choose to wear armor.

Because ordinary armor is very fragile for knights, not much better than paper. After wearing it, not only does it not have a protective bonus, but it will affect the flexibility of the body.

Moreover, the knight’s transformed body is very powerful, stronger than ordinary armor.

Unless it is that kind of enchanted armor, it will be useful.

However, enchanted armor is rare and valuable. The Soros family, which has been passed down for more than 300 years and has produced two powerful sky knights, only has two sets, and one of them is damaged.

It was the suit that my father wore when he died. I didn't bring the other suit, so I couldn't wear it even if I wanted to.

...

At this time, the infantry regiment had completely taken over the defense of various locations in the Blackstone Fortress.

Every knight attendant or cavalryman in the legion wore armor and gathered in the square of the fortress with weapons.

Woo woo woo!!!

The powerful horn sounded, the iron chain was pulled and retracted with the wheel, and the thick city gate slowly opened.

Small groups of knights or cavalrymen moved quickly but orderly out of the city gate.

They were wearing black armor, with only a pair of cold eyes exposed outside. The lines of the armor were hard, and the joints were ferocious thorns, full of violent aesthetics.

The soldiers of the infantry regiment standing on the city wall looked at the rolling torrent of armor below and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Infantrymen are naturally shorter than cavalrymen.

In the era of cold weapons, the crushing of cavalry over infantry was particularly obvious. Although the situation is better now that infantry has muskets, they are still overwhelmed by cavalry.

After all, cavalry has horses, while infantry does not, and the impact of the two is incomparable.

"Is this the power of the cavalry group?"

A newly enlisted infantryman couldn't help but tighten his musket in his hand, muttering to himself.

The older officer next to him had a complicated expression, and finally sighed heavily, saying earnestly:

"In the field, the cavalry regiment is the winner of the war. Most of the time, our infantry is just auxiliary, doing some things such as defending the city, chasing, relying on terrain to block, etc."

"Sir, it's not the same as before. The knights are already on the decline, and the weapons in our hands are getting stronger and stronger. I believe the future belongs to us infantrymen!"

The young soldier looked stubborn and continued to refute:

"I believe that one day in the future, our infantry regiment will be the main force to determine the outcome of the battlefield."

"Haha, our artillery is!"

Young people, the commander sighed in his heart, if there were no powerful extraordinary people in the cavalry, they might have been eliminated long ago, but the reality is not the case. The existence of extraordinary knights allows the knight class to still firmly dominate the world.

Lu He took the lead, followed by five knights including the half-elf Celya.

Next to him were the twenty or so family knights he brought with him.

Behind them were a thousand knights and two thousand cavalrymen.

The number of people exceeded a thousand, covering the sky.

Three thousand cavalrymen plus twice the number of war horses marched between heaven and earth in a marching formation, so majestic that from a distance they looked like a black cloud rolling up from the earth.

…

The town of Kafri.

Today's weather was good, with no clouds in the sky, and the sky was like a pure blue curtain.

A gray-crowned goshawk flapped its powerful wings, swooped down from the sky, crossed the heavy city wall, and landed on a towering black watchtower with its wings flapping.

A soldier untied the information tied to the goshawk's feet. When he saw that the information was written on a black cloth, his face changed instantly, and he immediately turned around and left, rushing towards his superior's position.

Less than a few minutes later.

The quiet town of Kafri began to become restless, with the roar of war horses, the sound of the assembly of military bugles...

Various sounds were heard incessantly.

Not long after, the iron chain at the castle gate was released.

Before the drawbridge was completely lowered, a heavily armored knight had already leaped over on a fierce warhorse and rushed out first.

Then the second, third, fourth...

Soon.

More than 2,000 cavalrymen belonging to the Third Legion assembled on the vast plain in front of Kafri Town.

Similarly, Bol did not send out the infantry regiment. Faced with the situation where a large number of extraordinary people were rooted in the cavalry regiment, the infantry formation would be easily broken in the open field.

Once broken, it would be a one-sided massacre.

It would be better to put the infantry in the city. They can defend the city and provide support, and play a greater role.

The only way to deal with the cavalry is to have cavalry.
