Volume 5: King of the Mountain Chapter 260 Frostwolf Cavalry
Murphy also called over Razidanan and old knight Roland.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Razidanan, I have a mission for you. Go to Pinewood Village immediately and gather all the militiamen and bring them here to prepare for the battle."
Rachidanan (Knight Captain): "Yes, Your Highness." Rachidanan had just advanced to the elite template and was in high spirits. When he heard that another war was going to take place, he immediately mounted his horse and set off excitedly. He was also very eager for war. If he could win this battle and perform well, he might be able to advance to the hero template.
Murphy looked at Roland again and said, "Knight Roland, get ready and go to the barracks to replenish the troops. I need to leave the city in a while."
Old man Roland looked worried. "Your Highness, it's getting dark soon. It's said that there are a lot of orcs outside the city. It's not safe. Should we wait until tomorrow to set out, or gather some adventurers to go together?"
Murphy thought that he couldn't find any adventurers, as he didn't want the secret of Tongtian Peak to be exposed. Thanks to his participation in several battles during this period, his reputation had risen a lot, and now he had successfully increased his command value to 130 points, and could lead 32 level 4 soldiers.
"No need. Go to the barracks and call for 32 Knights of the North Wind to act together. We won't be afraid even if we encounter an orc patrol. Go ahead and do it."
Soon, the thirty-two Knights of the North Wind were ready to go. Murphy also rode his horse to the city gate, took a look at these fully armed Knights of the North Wind, nodded with satisfaction, said hello, and immediately rushed out of the city.
The cavalry was galloping on the snow. The Alterac horses had huge hooves. This kind of cold-zone horse was not particularly fast, but it would not be penalized by terrain slowdown when moving on snowy terrain, making it very suitable for fighting in terrain like the Alterac Mountains.
Thirty-three knights were galloping along the way. Along the way, they could see many players fighting monsters and leveling up in groups of three or five. Since the tribe occupied a large area around the Alterac Valley, there were more and more orc adventurers. In order to avoid conflicts, most of the low-level adventurer players gathered in the plateau areas around the city of Alterac to level up. This increased the density of players a lot, and also caused trouble for the monsters around the city of Alterac. The monsters spawned faster than they could be killed.
Soon Murphy led his troops out of the radiation range of the city of Alterac and entered the vast snowfield. Here, the number of adventurers immediately decreased a lot, and they were all high-level players.
After moving forward for another hour, gradually, even high-level adventurers could not be seen.
Murphy is very cautious. Now that he no longer has the Deathwing cheat, if he encounters a strong enemy, he can only rely on himself.
Just in case, he wore the Ring of Domination of Sargeras on his hand. Of course, he would not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. Using this thing in the plot events would increase the progress of his blackening. His blackening progress has now reached 40%. If he uses it again, he will become a neutral unit.
After running for a while, suddenly another group of adventurers appeared in sight, more than 30 people in total, beating up a group of snowmen.
But this time, it was an orc adventurer who showed up.
Murphy 's heart trembled, thinking, here they come, it seems that they have entered the influence range of the Frostwolf Clan.
The orc adventurers also noticed this team of human knights, and quickly dealt with the snowmen, then formed a standard battle formation, with warriors in the front, mages in the back, and auxiliary professions in the middle of the team, as if they were ready to pull up and attack this team of "elite monsters".
Murphy did not get entangled with these orc adventurers. As a prince who went deep into the deep alone, he would easily become a big gift in the eyes of the tribe, so he must not fight to the end.
It was getting dark, and he had to get to Tongtian Peak as soon as possible.
He simply led the knights to bypass the orc adventurers and galloped towards Tongtian Peak. The orc adventurers were tactful enough not to provoke him.
We encountered several groups of orc adventurers along the way. These orc adventurers usually acted in large groups of thirty or forty people. Probably because of their relatively low levels, they had to rely on numbers if they didn't want to suffer losses.
Fortunately, most of the battles were on foot, so the team of knights led by Murphy would not be entangled as long as they did not get too close.
As the sky gradually darkened, the surroundings became gloomy. The accumulated snow reflected the cold moonlight. The night wind was howling, and the chill was biting. There was a bleak atmosphere between heaven and earth. Suddenly, a row of black spots appeared on the hillside in the distance.
The black spots approached rapidly, and when they were still about a hundred meters away, pairs of green eyes of wild beasts could be seen.
It's the Frostwolf Knight!
There are about fifty people in total.
Murphy secretly thought that it was not good and he finally met them. He didn't waste any words. Although those orc adventurers could be easily shaken off, these Frostwolf cavalry were not so easy to get rid of.
If we don't defeat them, we will definitely be entangled.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Knights of the North Wind, listen to my command and prepare for battle!"
"yes!"
The knights quickly changed direction and rushed towards the wolf cavalry.
The team of fifty Frostwolf Knights also rushed over with howls.
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Wall Charge Formation - Double Row!"
The Knights of the North Wind quickly changed their formation, with one row in the front, holding lances and forming a tight formation, like a row of spears charging head-on, and another row in the back, holding cavalry swords, ready for a melee.
Upon seeing this, the Frostwolf Knights immediately changed their formation and dispersed to both sides. They had no intention of engaging the enemy head-on, but instead planned to use their numerical advantage to encircle them from both sides.
Murphy thought to himself that this was not good. The greatest advantage of human knights was the length and power of their lances, which allowed them to charge head-on.
Once involved in a melee, they will often be at a disadvantage, so the general pattern is to charge once - create distance - charge again - and repeat this process. It is obvious that the opponent has learned how to deal with this tactic.
If it were a large-scale battle, it would be difficult for the enemy to resolve such a large-scale charge, but in this small-scale battle of dozens of people, as long as the wolf knights dispersed left and right, they could offset the power of the lance charge.
"First row, don't stop, keep moving forward, second row, follow me!"
Murphy drew out the Storm Binder, and the sword dragged directly on the ground, causing bursts of flying snow. He led the sixteen knights to charge towards the wolf cavalry on the right wing. At the moment the two sides met, he swept out with a sword, and the wolf knight also swung out the sword in his hand.
Puff! As expected, the longer guy has the advantage. Murphy slashed the wolf knight with his sword, -1712 (speed bonus damage 77%)!
The force was so great that it almost cut the wolf knight in half.
Another sword was swung, but the second target's mount jumped to the right and dodged.
Instead, the wolf knight took out a casting net and swung it out suddenly. With a snap, the net landed on Murphy and caught him right in the middle.
This is a skill unique to the Wolf Rider. It throws out a net, catches a target and freezes it in place for five seconds. If the strength attribute is high enough, the immobilization time can be shortened by breaking free.
As soon as Murphy broke free, another net was thrown towards him.
Damn, this requires unlimited internet!
Murphy looked up and saw
Those Frostwolf Knights had already started a melee with the surrounding North Wind Knights, with the Frostwolf Blades versus the Cavalry Swords, and with the advantage in numbers, they chased more than a dozen North Wind Knights everywhere.
Five or six Frostwolf Knights surrounded him, but they did not rush up to fight with swords. Instead, they kept throwing out nets. It was obvious that they wanted to use the net-throwing skill to trap him here and take the opportunity to get rid of his men.
Damn, do you really think I’m a pure melee profession?
Dragon Feast Spell——Pure Flame of Arandal!
Murphy took a deep breath, and a huge dragon head appeared out of thin air in front of him, spewing out a breath of flame.
The six wolf riders were only a few meters away and were sprayed directly. Amid screams, three Frostwolf Knights were burned to death instantly, and the remaining three turned around and ran away in fear.
You still want to kite me? What a dream.
Murphy kicked his horse and charged forward wielding the Storm Binder.
