The cold snow flakes danced in the wind, hitting the metal armor with a slight rustling sound, and then slid down.
After rescuing Lily and her son, the Northern Knights adjusted their formation and lined up on the hillside again.
They also knew that simply running away was not a solution at this time. The horses under their crotch were already exhausted and could no longer run long distances.
Under the dim and gloomy sky, they formed an array, inserted their shields into the ground, and then stepped down hard, burying the lower half of the shields in the frozen soil. Then they raised their spears and placed them between the shields.
Several witches from the North began to practice casting spells. The dark and thick clouds in the sky began to move, and the snow particles in the wind became denser and denser, covering them like snow fog, making it difficult for the outside world to see clearly.
The Northern warriors standing among them were like ice sculptures, silently watching the gradually approaching 'Rose Knights'.
The fiery red cloak was particularly eye-catching on the pure white snowfield. The lances pierced straight into the sky. When approaching the hillside shrouded in snow and fog, these upright lances began to lower as if receiving an order, facing straight forward. A deep red cold light began to bloom at the tip of the lance, and the overflowing red color wandered in the dim snow and fog, like a faint red ribbon.
In their sight, those blurry figures were getting closer and closer. When the distance was only a few hundred meters, these Rose Knights finally saw their opponents clearly.
The metal shields were half buried in the ground, and the bottom was already firmly frozen. The thick ice seemed to grow under the shields, making the line look like a city wall. They stood with their backs to the hillside, with three layers of shield walls stacked on top of each other, and their sharp spears were pointed outward.
Just as the Rose Knights began to accelerate at full speed, a short spell sounded from the front, followed by dense ice arrows raining down.
The ice arrows were carried by the storm and blew towards them, causing the knights in the front row to freeze instantly and then shatter into small pieces, which then spread layer by layer to the back.
"Triangle Formation: Comet Charge!"
Darcy shouted loudly at the head of the cavalry formation, and then the knights behind him began to change their formation. They gathered together in groups of three, and then countless triangles formed a huge sharp arrow formation.
The crimson magic power continued to gather towards the top of the three men, and then a scorching red light bloomed at the tip of the lance. The heat wave emitted from it broke through the cold wind coming from the front, and then turned into a scorching airflow and spread to the back.
The ice on the armor began to melt, and the cavalry, enveloped in the stream of fire, rushed forward like a huge flaming comet, unstoppable.
Faced with the powerful attacking cavalry, the witches cast spells again, and ice arrows shot into the ground in front of them, directly forming countless ice spikes tilted forward to block the charging cavalry.
"Useless." Darcy growled, then took the lead and directly crashed through the ice spikes in front of him, and crushed them with the Black Nightmare warhorse under him.
Then, the sound of countless ice blocks breaking rang out on the battlefield. Those fiery cavalrymen crushed these fragile ice spikes like chariots. Now there was no obstacle between them and the enemy's line.
The crimson lance, carrying a whistling momentum, suddenly pierced into the cold shield, piercing through it layer by layer. Both the shield and the warrior behind it were easily penetrated by it.
Even the sharp spears that were aimed at them were easily broken and cut off by the charging cavalry. Although the two crossed each other for only half a second, this time was enough for these Rose Knights to find gaps and flaws.
They are the elite among the elite, the most top-tier knights of the Imperial Family. Every member is above Sequence 5, and they cannot be stopped by ordinary military formations.
In the crimson heat wave, the knights in the front row broke up the formation and slashed it, while the Rose Knights in the back leaped directly, skipping over the fighting position of their front row comrades, and stabbed their lances directly into the back row of the Northern formation. One by one, the fragile archers and witches were directly pierced by the lances that suddenly attacked.
Then, they continued to rush to the back of the hillside, chasing the fleeing mother and child, like an endless stream.
Shrouded in snow and fog, hundreds of northern knights were protecting Lily and her son as they galloped northward. They had thought that the team behind them could buy some time, but they did not expect these cavalrymen to break through so quickly and violently.
In just a moment of confrontation, the formation of nearly two thousand people was torn apart and penetrated.
In the endless snow and wind, the team began to race with the pursuers behind them in the howling wind and snow, and the distance between them was shortening step by step, becoming precarious.
"It still doesn't work."
Thousands of meters above the sky, where no one could see, on the back of the thick clouds, a figure in a snow-white robe sighed softly, as if surprised by the fighting power of this knight order.
"This is already the most elite knight order. With the addition of Darcy, such strength is difficult for even the brave and fearless knights of the North to deal with."
At this time, two more figures in white robes slowly descended from the sky, landed beside this figure, and stood in the air with him.
"These Northern Knights come from all over the place, and they've had too little time to get used to each other. Furthermore, their strengths vary widely. It would be fine if they were given a month or two to adjust, but that's clearly not an option right now."
"If we want to stop or defeat this knight order, the Death Moon Knights under Duke Raven will probably have to take action personally, but that would be tantamount to declaring war between the North and the Empire."
"So now, we can only make some small changes so that they won't kill the queen and prince so quickly."
"But I must remind you that such methods must be as covert as possible, leaving no traces, and not be excessive. Although we sages are not afraid of those witches, we must not violate our principles."
