Chapter 351: Evidence of the High King
At this moment, the other large armies had not yet entered the village. Leon and the Griffin Knights were speeding up, but they were still several hundred meters away from the battlefield.
A distance of several hundred meters only takes about one minute for a warhorse running at high speed.
But in this minute, Wendy was surrounded.
The sudden charge launched by Wendy did catch the three prophets off guard, but the three prophets had a large number of men after all. After a brief panic, they quickly organized a counterattack.
Just like before, the Three Prophets' troops reacted with astonishing speed.
Without any orders, hundreds of Doombringers began to move as soon as Wendy launched the charge, surrounding the Griffin Claws behind Wendy.
Although the followers led by these doom bringers seemed a little insane, they all followed the doom bringers closely - they were a ragtag army, knights or rogues from various places, and even pirates.
They probably want to protect their beloved ones...
But this is equivalent to hundreds of teams launching a siege at the same time.
If viewed from the air, the troops of the Three Prophets looked like a giant carnivorous plant, with all its petals suddenly closing at the same time.
Although the troops of the Three Prophets did not form a very complicated formation and there was no coordination between them, they had a large number of people - when there are more people than the opponent, siege is the best tactic, and they completely surrounded the Griffin Claws in a very short time.
The female explorers were obviously much stronger than the troops of the Three Prophets, and they cooperated very well and were quite resolute when they launched the charge, but their huge disadvantage in numbers prevented them from breaking through the siege of the Three Prophets' large army.
The Griffin Claws had just accelerated, but before they could gain speed, they were stopped by the human wave tactics.
The place where they were stopped was in the thousand-acre vineyard in front of the Countess's manor, and a large number of corpses fell around the female explorers almost instantly - the troops of the Three Prophets were different from regular armies after all, and those Doombringers completely brought their followers and used the lives of their followers to stop the charge of the Griffin Claws.
The Griffin Claws could only organize a defense line on the spot. The female warriors on the periphery even gave up their horses and used them as outer shield walls, protecting Alina, who had no martial arts skills, in the middle.
This is a reasonable approach when the number of people is small and facing siege. Although a large number of war horses will inevitably be lost, at least the cavalry can stabilize the situation - when they cannot charge, the cavalry actually has no advantage over the infantry.
Fortunately, these female knights are the Queen's Guard after all. They have probably been doing guarding and defense work for more than a year, and they are quite stable in defensive battles.
In addition, they have excellent martial arts and top-notch equipment - the equipment Amy got them is all top-notch, and they can barely hold on thanks to the advantages in equipment and coordination.
Only Wendatil was not stopped. The horse she was riding was so fast that she felt like a comet. Although the troops of the Three Prophets surrounded her quickly, they were unable to stop her.
In fact, even if those doom bringers were fast enough, they might not be able to intercept this humanoid Tyrannosaurus - she was not far away from Media and was rushing in a straight line, taking the shortest route to Media. With two long swords in her hands that were so fast that they could not be seen, she cut a bloody path, leaving behind broken limbs and flying heads.
Getting closer...
Medea was right in front of her, but at this time there were already a lot of people surrounding Medea.
A group of the prophet's followers stood in front of Midya with large shields, and many of them had helmet fragments blown off by Wendy on their faces.
How can one break through the shield wall alone?
But Wendatil still plunged in.
Maybe it shouldn't be called stabbing, but smashing - she simply drove her horse into a leap, jumping over the shield wall, the knife in her hand still going straight for Media!
People and horses fell to the ground and there were screams of pain, but Wendatil still broke through the defense alone!
Afterwards, the sky was filled with blood mist, and for a moment, even people could not be seen.
The blood mist dissipated in just a moment, and the tall woman riding the purebred horse was now headless!
She was beheaded by Wendatil with one blow!
Vendatil did succeed in the decapitation, and she even killed her way through Media's array.
This powerful elf who has studied martial arts for three hundred years and is a ranger instructor who has single-handedly doubled the combat effectiveness of the entire Noldor tribe is truly a powerful weapon on the battlefield. Even the three prophets cannot stop her charge.
but……
Medea's voice sounded again behind Vendatil: "Humph... What a powerful woman! But you can't kill me!"
Wendatil silently turned her horse around, looking for the source of the sound, but the sound made by Medea was very strange, as if it appeared directly next to her ear - she no longer knew where Medea was.
Moreover, her Comet Warhorse was injured in the chest and abdomen and was breathing heavily. It seemed difficult for it to charge in the same way again.
Wendatil himself also had bright red wounds on his waist and shoulders.
Media had probably never seen a sword as fast as Vendatil's, so her reaction was indeed slow, and it was normal for her to be beheaded by one blow.
But the prophet’s fighting power is not weak either, and she can exchange her life for injury - as long as all the Doombringers are not dead, Media will not die!
As strong as Wendatil was, she was in trouble and had lost her target. She had no choice but to fight and retreat, gradually moving towards the center of the battlefield - the girl who looked like a little girl was very conspicuous on the battlefield, and she was attacking Wendy.
At this time, Sersi had the body of a little girl, riding on a tall warhorse that was completely incompatible with her, and wielding a three-meter-long machete. The scene looked very strange.
But Wendy was already so overwhelmed by the little girl that she was even forced to give up her horse.
Her strength was far from comparable to that of the three prophets, and Cersei had been forcing her to fight head-on - the long-handled machete swept across a large area, she didn't dare to take it head-on, and it was difficult to dodge while riding a horse, so she had to give up her warhorse and rely on her flexible body to deal with it with difficulty.
In the melee, the grenades she carried with her were useless.
At this time, Leon finally rushed into the battlefield with the Griffin Knights, but only the Griffin Knights and Griffin Servants arrived - only these 300 or so were cavalrymen, and those new recruits from the Drunkards could not ride horses...
"Lord Leon, please keep it safe for me! It will be a witness to our glory!"
As he rode forward, Dallion approached Leon, slowed down Leon's horse, and then handed him an object.
Perhaps because he saw that Leon's injuries had not yet healed, Dallion thought that Leon should stay in the rear - this was the chivalrous concept he had been taught since childhood.
Li Ang took a look at the thing in his hand, it was a ring.
The ring of High King Kavala.
Then, without waiting for Leon to react, the spurs under Dallion's feet hit the warhorse's belly hard, and the horse neighed and increased its maximum speed.
"Griffin Knight!"
Dallion shouted, rushing towards Cersei with his sword swung.
“Witness our glory!!”
The Griffin Knights behind him let out a unified battle cry, which was a sign that the Griffin Knights were launching their final charge, allowing everyone to witness their courage to never retreat on the battlefield.
It was so more than three hundred years ago, and it is still so today.
Although the Griffin Knights were small in number , their charge looked much more imposing and powerful than the one Wendy had led the female explorers to launch before.
This is probably the value brought by hundreds of years of inheritance.
The same charging method, the same weapons and equipment, and their technical level might not be as good as that of the female explorers, but the Griffin Knights just broke through the army of the three prophets and cut off a large part of the prophets' followers who surrounded the female soldiers.
Moreover, Dallion managed to rush to Circe's side.
This was mainly due to the help of Bridesh who was following closely behind him - Bridesh had been following Darion all the time, and when she reached the vicinity of Cersei, she waved her hand and fired two javelins, successfully killing Cersei's horse.
This queen’s skills are not top-notch, but she is very smart on the battlefield and is good at creating opportunities for her friendly forces!
At this moment, Dallion got the best opportunity - Circe fell off her horse right in front of him. Without the horse, the three-meter-long long-handled sword was a burden, especially in the hands of a child who was only 1.2 meters tall at most. No matter how strong the power was, it could not exert its power!
Dallion took advantage of the horse's speed to lean over and slash, knocking Cersei to the ground with one sword!
But then, he also fell headfirst to the ground - the moment he fell, Cersei swung her sword horizontally and chopped off Dallion's horse's legs!
But Dallion was lucky. It was not that the horse stumbled, but that the horse's legs were directly lost. Dallion fell to the ground under the action of inertia, and the horse's body without legs still moved forward with a strong impact force, knocking over several doom-bringers in front of him.
At the same time, Bride behind him threw two more javelins, which hit Darion's side and blocked other enemies who were about to besiege Darion.
The power of Bao Daisi's javelin should not be very great, certainly not as strong as those of the Shadow Centurions of the Bacchus Empire, but it is very timely and accurate, and she can throw with both hands at the same time.
Dallion took the opportunity to sweep half a circle with his ebony sword on the ground, just cutting off Cersei's foot. Then he stood up and grabbed Cersei on the ground to use as a shield - who asked Cersei to use a child's body? A ten-year-old girl doesn't weigh much, and now she has no feet...
Then, Cersei was hit by two hammers by her own men, and one of her hands seemed to be broken...
Then, Wendy rushed over and dragged Dallion back.
Fortunately, Wendy knew Dallion...
Cersei was still held in Dallion's hand at this time. One of her hands was broken, both of her feet were missing, and the shoulder on the other side was completely broken by Dallion. She must have completely lost her combat effectiveness.
But she was not dead yet, and she made a strange sound towards Dallion: "Buzz!!"
But Dallion seemed to have no reaction at all: "Bullshit!"
He raised his hand and wanted to throw Cersei to the ground.
"Don't kill her!"
Wendy stopped Dallion: "If she dies, her soul will escape into other enemies' bodies!"
Dallion was stunned for a moment, then threw the bloody little girl to Wendy and rushed to the front again to block other enemies.
Wendy no longer went to the front line, but grabbed Cersei and pressed her to the ground, and found a horse blanket to wrap her up like a dumpling.
This not only restrains Cersei, but also stops her bleeding to prevent her from dying from excessive blood loss.
"Are you a Noldor elf? But a Noldor elf shouldn't have such a strong ability to suppress magic... Who are you? Who are you?!"
Circe stared into Wendy's eyes and shouted in panic.
She couldn't struggle out of Wendy's hands - her hands were useless, and her feet were gone. The little girl's legs were short to begin with, and with her head pinned down, she couldn't reach it no matter how hard she struggled. Even if she had great strength, she couldn't exert it through the air...
"She is a goddess..."
A voice came from behind Wendy.
Turning around, Wendy saw Leon.
A smile suddenly appeared on the cold face of the underage girl, but then she was deeply anxious: "Li Ang! You are back! But why are you here? You should leave here, there are too many people..."
"I can't leave. They are really many..."
Li Ang pointed to the west, which was the direction he had just come from.
He followed Dallion, and the direction he came from was surrounded by the prophet's followers again.
Although the Griffin Knights charged with great momentum and were not surrounded, they were outnumbered after all and could only charge in arcs in a cutting and peeling manner, unable to control the entire battlefield.
However, the situation on the battlefield has improved a lot now, with the Griffin Knights slicing away at the periphery, the female explorers forming a formation in the middle, and Vendatil not far to the side can single-handedly pull off a large group of enemies.
Bao Daisy has now joined the female explorers. She has quickly won the respect of the female soldiers with her combat wisdom and has begun to dispatch personnel.
This was probably her habit as a queen... She couldn't help but start commanding on the battlefield...
Alina is good at strategic planning, Wendy has not yet learned battlefield command, Amy may have some experience in battlefield tactics, but Amy is not here - in other words, the female soldiers actually lacked a battlefield commander before.
The appearance of Bao Daisi just filled in this missing link.
Bao Daisy's command level is very good. Under her command, the female explorers not only stabilized their position, but even pushed forward a bit.
This powerful female soldier unit probably met a reliable battlefield captain.
But Bao Daisi was almost drooling when looking at this army - this was the perfect female knight in her mind, strong, brave, obedient, and a proper Queen's Guard!
Leon did not interfere with Bao Daisi's command because he himself was unable to command the female explorers.
These female soldiers were Amy's guards. Most of them had little contact with Leon. Only the members of the Griffin Sword who had initially followed Milgan knew Leon, and their relationship was not good - they had fought with Leon and had had many of their companions killed by him.
The battle situation gradually became stable, and the large army outside the village finally came in.
The first to enter the village were Jocelyn's troops and the Dusk Knights.
Both of these troops were dressed in black, and looked more like evildoers than the three prophets' troops...
But they were pretty ruthless towards the followers of the Three Prophets, and the Knights of Dusk seemed pretty good at dealing with the Doombringers.
This is probably because they know the details of the three prophets better.
"Sir Li Ang, I never thought you would come back... But you know you can't kill us, and there's no need for so many people to die or be injured here... We can cooperate with you and follow your arrangements!"
At this time, Circe suddenly requested a ceasefire.
"I'm not Ulric... You're Circe, right? I haven't forgotten that you lied to me..."
Leon tore off a piece of rag from his body, rubbed it and stuffed it into Sersi's mouth: "Who would cooperate with someone who has deceived them? Shut up!"
"Hey... wuwu... wuwu..."
Circe tried to say something, but Leon slammed the cloth into her mouth.
And at this moment, something strange happened!
There was definitely nothing special about the piece of cloth itself, but the strange thing was that when Leon touched Sersi's mouth, a bright golden light suddenly appeared on his hand!
A griffin with golden light flew out from his hand, and then pecked at Cersei's forehead!
Cersei suddenly fell silent!
"This is... magic! Don't you know magic?!"
Wendy stared at Li Ang with her eyes wide open.
Li Ang's eyes were also wide open, but he was looking at his own hand. The Supreme King's ring on his hand was glowing.
