A'dar put down the telescope suddenly, his face flushed with excitement. He forced himself to take a deep breath and think calmly, then turned around and yelled at the messenger.
"Send out our cavalry! Send out the [Ade-Fine Division]! We must keep all the enemies here today!"
…
The strong wind blew on my face, and the three-lion flag fluttered loudly above my head.
Under the flag, the lion of Sintra galloped at the front of the team.
Heifeng was at least a head taller than the warhorse beside him, which allowed everyone in the cavalry team to see Lann's back and his griffin cloak fluttering in the air.
At this moment, he seemed to have turned himself into a flag.
There were no other Cintrians around Lann, but the cavalry of Rivia, Lyria and the Aedirn troops surrounded him. Helela was the closest to Lann, and until now she couldn't believe that she was involved in such a crazy plan.
Between the horse hooves and the flying dust, she began to recall the plan that Lann had proposed in the tent.
…
In Lan's opinion, the simplest, most direct and most effective tactic was to attack the enemy camp head-on and then capture the general and flag. However, considering the huge gap in strength between the enemy and us, Lan was worried that the coalition forces would be defeated before he could enter the enemy camp.
And considering the acceptance capacity of Queen Mivi and Demave III, Lann still plans to use a more clever method - teleportation combat.
This [Teleport] is not the [Teleport] of Lann's own system skill. Since Lann has never been to Rivia and set up a teleportation point, he cannot use the system's long-distance jump function.
This [Teleport] refers to the warlock's [Portal] magic.
But this leads to a new problem: Warlocks cannot know the exact location of the enemy commander. Magical reconnaissance is not feasible because Nilfgaard's camp must be equipped with warlock troops, who will be prepared for these methods and even counterattack.
Therefore, they could only resort to a relatively dangerous method: sending out harassment troops and engaging in low-intensity clashes to induce the Black Army to enter combat status, so as to make the Nilfgaardians raise the largest general's flag and boost morale - this flag would usually be deliberately hidden by A'dal, after all, who would place the position of the commander in such a conspicuous place when setting up camp?
The upright flag is the location of the portal.
In order to avoid a premature general attack, the armies of Demaevi and Mivi had to lag behind the harassing troops in front appropriately, waiting for the right moment when the Nilfgaardians were completely in chaos, and then charge forward with the entire army to achieve the greatest results and strive to defeat Nilfgaard in one fell swoop.
This means that the harassment troops separated from the main army are actually "bait" to some extent. And it must be a bait of sufficient weight to survive the initial probing of the Nilfgaardians and lure the Nilfgaardian camp into full action.
So Lann joined in and raised his own three-lion flag. Miwei and Demawi sent their most elite warriors to support Lann.
This is the general plan for this operation.
…
Helela swallowed her saliva. She knew that Lord Lannister had the ability of a warlock and could return to the camp at any time, but the others did not. Maybe today was the day for her to be loyal to the king.
The sound of horse hooves rumbled, and a cavalry unit broke away from the Nilfgaard camp and galloped towards the three lions. From their angle, they could already see the enemy, and the silver sun flag fluttering in the wind made Helela pale.
Lan was overjoyed.
With such a special flag, it is certainly not an ordinary unit. This is the [Ade Finn Division], which means "Great Sun" in ancient language. It was originally affiliated with the Third Legion of Nilfgaard and was sent out to support the Eastern Army, which is mainly composed of infantry, to fight against Aedirn and Mevi together.
This is one of Nilfgaard's heavy cavalry units. In the future, they will work together with several other cavalry units of Nilfgaard to achieve the great reputation of Mahakam heavy infantry.
However, before that great defeat, the Ade Fein Division had always been one of the trump cards of the Black Army.
There were not many cavalrymen in front of them, only about 2,000 men, and the Third Army should have only sent a part of the Ade Finn Division as support. But even so, the faces of the soldiers behind Lann began to turn pale.
Their loyalty made their bodies still strong, but they could not stop the fear from rising. It was this team that defeated the coalition forces of Aedirn and Lyria with a crushing force a few days ago!
More importantly, they had already mastered the intelligence of Nilfgaard and knew that there were four similar cavalry units under the Third Legion of Nilfgaard!
From here, we can see how rich Nilfgaard is. At this moment, only Lann in the harassment team began to get excited. It is also a good choice to annihilate some of the heavy cavalry here first.
Before the Mahakam heavy infantry comes out, let me test the weight of these guys first!
…
As if sensing the panic of the soldiers around him, Lann sighed slightly. He suddenly regretted not bringing House with him. Otherwise, it would be good to let this guy shout something to boost morale at this moment, which is his specialty.
"Livians, Lyrians, Aedirnians——" I can only do it myself.
Even though the horses' hooves were deafening on the battlefield, the lion's roar still reached everyone's ears accurately. It was very brief and powerful.
"This is the army that drank the blood of your comrades not long ago, and it is also the butcher who is killing your compatriots and destroying your homes!"
From this distance, one could already see the fall of the capital of Livia not far away, and the eyes of the Livians in the team were the first to start to turn red.
Lann flipped his left hand, and several alchemical glass bottles appeared in his hand. The various colored potions inside emitted different faint lights.
Although Jielong prepared a complete set of magic potions and a large number of decoctions for Lann, Lann's battles had never needed the support of these external items. But this time was different. This was a serious confrontation with a complete army as the main force, and Lann needed to be fully alert.
"Now, your king and your queen have given you the heaviest mission. In the history books that follow, it will be recorded that it was your swords that cut off the Nilfgaardians' route of advance, marking the turning point of this war; it was their screams under your swords that marked the beginning of Nilfgaard's defeat, making the southern army's ambition to march north become empty talk - this will be an epic poem comparable to the Battle of Sodden Mountain."
Pulling out the Sword of the Lady of the Lake with his right hand, Lann seemed to be holding a torch in his hand. Not bothering to bite open the wax seal, the arc of light passed through the air, and Lann swung his sword to directly cut off the bottlenecks of all the alchemical glass bottles.
"And there is only one thing you need to do now - that is to follow me closely." Lann roared, "I will lead the charge!"
He tilted his head back and took in various potions and decoctions. Even if an ordinary demon hunter had superhuman poison resistance, this dose would still be fatal. Only Lann's [Potion] skills gave him the poison resistance to allow his body to quickly digest the effects of these potions.
[Advanced Mapore Forest]: Increases adrenaline regeneration speed.
[Advanced Petri Potion]: Increases the strength of the seal, extends the duration of the seal, and increases the chance of the seal's special effects appearing.
【Advanced Swallow Potion】: Continuously recover from injuries.
[Hakna Decoction]: After releasing the magic power, the injuries of the body will be restored.
[Ancient Deer Head Essence Decoction]: After each release of a seal, the corresponding magic recovery speed is increased.
In addition to the above-mentioned magic potions, Lan also drank the usual [Advanced Thunder] to enhance physical strength and [Advanced Owl] to speed up magic recovery.
Lann suddenly felt his heart beating like a drum. He knew without looking that veins were bulging on his forehead and around his eyes, and his face was as pale as a ghost.
He sighed inwardly, regretting that he did not activate the [Addiction] skill in the second mutation, otherwise Lann felt that he could fight against the high-level vampires alone.
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and at this moment no other sound could be heard.
The enemy's footsteps are getting closer and closer, and there is no other choice at this moment!
"Black Wind." Lan En patted his old friend, "Charge!"
The black horse neighed loudly with excitement, and its suppressed wildness was completely released. In an instant, it turned into a gust of wind and carried Lann across the three-lion flag, surpassing all the knights and leading the way to the front of the team!
The enemy's face can already be seen, that is the face that the people of Cintra have always wanted to chop into pieces!
Lann suddenly raised his left hand, pouring a huge amount of magic power into it——
[Igni Sign·Pyromania·Magic Explosion]!
A wall of fire suddenly opened up in front of the Nilfgaardians, and without warning, enveloped the hundred heavy cavalrymen at the front of the team. All the people and horses turned into torches, and let out hellish roars in pain.
This is a flame that can ignite even steel!
This tragic scene made the cavalry behind them stunned for a moment. The flames burned their skin, but the black-clad soldiers felt terrified. The death of the soldiers in front was just a small matter. The real bad thing was that the horses were frightened!
The well-organized vanguard team suddenly became chaotic. The high-speed galloping war horses collided, bit, and trampled on each other. The high temperature and burning pain made them unable to distinguish between friend and foe. At that moment, no one knew how many horses fell to the ground and turned into roadblocks, and how many cavalrymen were tripped and thrown out of the air, and then trampled into meat paste.
This was fatal to the heavy cavalry. Their charge should have been the death horn of the enemy, but now it became their own death warrant in the chaos.
And what about their enemies?
Lann flipped his left hand and took out a huge lance from the [Inventory], and with terrifying power, he drove it directly into the middle of the Nilfgaardians.
The moment the mahogany lance collided with the heavy cavalry, it exploded into a rain of flowers under the huge impact force; the breastplate of Lann's opponent shattered, and blood and flesh splattered, as if he was hit head-on by a giant, and mixed in the rain of shattered flowers from the lance.
Lan's body didn't even tremble, and Heifeng's pace became even faster.
He casually threw the gun handle to the side, knocking the unfortunate man off his horse and trampling him into a pulp. Lann quickly took out another lance, and then repeated the process again -
"Boom", "Boom", "Boom"!
Muffled sounds like alchemical bombs exploding rang out one after another in the Nilfgaardian army formation. Lann had crushed a bloody tunnel in the heavy cavalry's cavalry formation!
At the same time, the coalition forces of the two countries behind him also began to engage in close combat.
The Nilfgaardian heavy cavalry had lost their momentum, but what about their enemies? Their best horses were just gathering their strength to the fullest.
The sounds of lances exploding became more frequent, louder, and more melodious.
Lann threw away another shattered gun handle in his hand and began to wonder whether he should ask the dwarves of Mahakam to make him a full-metal lance, or even a more advanced axe, lance, or even a halberd?
The demon hunter's sword is really not suitable for immediate combat.
However, the charge could come to an end at this moment. He had already made a name for himself, and the morale of both the enemy and himself had reached a satisfactory level. Lann estimated the distance between himself and the enemy's Silver Sun Banner Sword, and it was enough to use his skills.
He patted Heifeng under his crotch and said, "Play by yourself for a while, be careful."
Heifeng kicked a heavy cavalryman who had fallen to the ground and pushed his chest into his back, then he tilted his neck and crushed the enemy's horse's head. After he was done, he snorted, as if urging Lan En to walk faster to lighten his load.
Lann chuckled and was enveloped by a bright emerald light.
【flash】!
The next second, Lann's eyes were suddenly covered by thick chaotic energy. When his vision became clear again, a face wearing a black winged helmet appeared in front of him.
Lann was stepping on the head of the opponent's horse. Under the effect of the time delay attached to the skill, Lann could clearly see the lines on the opponent's face extending towards the direction of fear little by little.
This is the flag officer of Ade Finn's division.
In the dark night, the sword of the Lady of the Lake, as bright as a torch, drew an arc of light of astonishing length and flashed away. Then, a "click" was heard, and the flag officer's mount, the flag officer's body, and the flagpole behind the flag officer were all broken into two at this moment.
With a rustling sound in the wind, the Silver Sun flag fluttered one last time, knocking down several unfortunate cavalrymen, who were trampled deeply into the mud by the unstoppable horses' hooves.
"Lann Lannister Rhaanron!"
Lann heard a voice shouting faintly, and he looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing high-grade officer armor, who should be the commander of this cavalry. Lann's appearance, armor, weapons, etc. were too iconic, and the Nilfgaardian officers on the front line must have a list of enemies that they "must recognize".
Immediately, we saw that all the Nilfgaardians, led by the cavalry commander, changed direction and rushed towards Lann. This was not easy for the heavy cavalry in the charge, which shows the high quality of the Ade Finn Division.
Unfortunately, Lann's appearance was too abrupt, and the close combat time at the front was too short. There was no information transmission at all when the cavalry charged, so the Nilfgaardian commander and the cavalry around him could only see faint flames and had no idea what was happening in front.
They will find out soon enough.
Lane, who had personally experienced the joy of beating generals and capturing flags, was also satisfied. Now he was behind the enemy and did not have to worry about accidental injuries without any teammates around him.
He turned around and stopped swinging his sword. He ignored the heavy cavalry that was charging towards him like a chariot and just slapped the ground with his left hand.
The magic power dropped sharply in an instant, but then rose back at the same speed under the effect of the potion.
[Alder Seal·Alder Sweep·Bone-piercing·Magic Burst]!
The soldiers coming from the warm south experienced the coldness of the north for the first time. This was the first and last time.
