Chapter 338: Killing the Coconut Gold Knight
"Sir, they seem to be coming out!"
Shortly after the fire appeared at the dock, Ike, who was squatting in the front, suddenly whispered an excited reminder to Gervis.
Gervis looked towards the gate of the camp and saw that the suspension bridge was slowly being lowered. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It would be better if these members of the Coconut Gold Knights came out. Only by getting rid of them could Gervis plunder the shipyard and Gibb Town without any worries.
"Ike, take your guards and go to the front to prepare quickly. Calculate the enemy's speed and fire!"
For this revenge plan, Gervis prepared a total of 20 loaded grenades, which was a huge investment and almost used up all the gunpowder produced during the time Gervis went to Rose Castle.
Ten grenades have been buried twenty meters ahead. When the Coconut Gold Knights charge, those grenades will be detonated first. The second group of Ik and others will throw a total of eight grenades by hand. This will not only ensure that the opponent's charge is ineffective, but also eliminate the enemy to the greatest extent.
After receiving Gervis's order, Ik took four or five people and quickly ran to the roadside ahead. The ten grenades were not buried in the soil, but were placed side by side on both sides of the road, and the fuses were deliberately lengthened.
"Spearmen, form a formation on the spot!"
Gervis and his men all came on ships, so naturally they had no horses. Therefore, if the infantry wanted to fight against the cavalry, the only way was to form a formation with spearmen, so that they could have a chance to withstand the cavalry's raid.
There is a grenade ambush ahead of Gervis, and Gervis is confident that he can withstand the cavalry's charge.
Following Gervis's order, the slave spearmen quickly began to form a formation. Although due to casualties and injuries, the original 50-man spear phalanx now had only 45 people, Gervis had no choice but to reduce the number of people in the last row by one or two. This was not a problem, except that it would look a little uglier. Gervis also planned to see if there would be a chance to fill the gap later.
Boom!
"Follow me and rush out. All enemies who dare to attack us will be killed without mercy!"
Gervis formed his formation and prepared for an ambush, and the gate of Nem's camp was also fully opened. As the drawbridge was placed heavily on the ground, Nem, wearing full body armor, let out a loud roar and led the way out.
Although the Lakin family is hateful and greedy, it must be said that they have invested a lot in the Coconut Gold Knights.
Among the hundred-man brigade of the Coconut Gold Knights, there are ten titled knights, and Nem himself is also a beginner-level silver knight. It is for this reason that he was sent to guard the dock.
The other nine titled knights are also quite powerful, including one high-level bronze knight, three mid-level bronze knights and five junior bronze knights.
"kill!"
As Nem took the lead and rushed out, all the coconut gold knights behind him also drew their swords and filed out of the camp gate. In an instant, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and the momentum was mighty.
"Hold on!"
"Hold on!"
This was the first time that Gervis faced an attack from a group of knights. Looking at the charging war horses that were rolling in like a torrent of steel, Gervis felt as if he would be torn to pieces by the enemy in the next second.
Fortunately, Gervis had experienced more than a dozen battles of varying sizes, so he was not frightened to the point of turning pale. He was still able to remain calm and speak to comfort his subordinates.
Of course, Gervis could only appease his personal guards and himself. The slave soldiers and Gandalf showed no fear at all in the face of the dozens or hundreds of cavalrymen charging at them. Their faces were calm, as if there was a group of sheep in front of them.
"80 meters! 70 meters! Ignite!"
In order to find something to do and not feel so depressed, Gervis simply calculated the charge speed of the Coconut Gold Knights. Originally, he wanted Ike and others to start the fire themselves, but now Gervis chose the right time and gave the order.
The time calculated by Ik was almost the same as that of Gervis, so after Gervis gave the order, he lit the fuse of the grenade without any hesitation. After lighting the fuse, Ik and others quickly ran to both sides of the spear formation and took out their own grenades from their waists.
"Longbowmen, shoot!"
Whoosh whoosh!
The longbowmen had already drawn their bows and drawn strings, and upon hearing Gervis's order, they immediately shot out a wave of arrows.
"Shoot three waves quickly, then switch to long sword fighting!"
Whoosh whoosh!
A few breaths later, the longbowman shot another round of arrows. When the arrows fell into the charging team of the Coconut Gold Knights, Gervis finally saw obvious damage.
I saw that there were already seven or eight horses in the charging team with no one on them, apparently they had been shot by arrows and fell off their horses.
The two rounds of arrows used by the longbowmen were mithril arrows. Even though the coconut gold knights were wearing iron armor, they were still no match for the mithril arrows.
"Kill! Kill them all!"
Nem also heard the screams from his men behind him. He was a little confused because his subordinates were wearing two layers of armor, one layer of chain mail and an extra layer of thinner iron armor. Although this thin armor could not be compared with the armor worn by the titled knights, it was enough to defend against attacks from ordinary arrows.
Even if some of the arrow feathers could penetrate, they would not lose their combat effectiveness on the spot and fall off their horses, but that is what happened.
Seeing that he was still more than thirty meters away from Gervis's spearmen formation, Nem roared and rushed towards the spearmen formation at full speed.
Although the spear formation in front is densely packed and quite scary, the number of people is too small. With just one charge and after four or five horses are lost, the cavalry in the rear will definitely be able to break through the enemy's formation, and then it will be a one-sided massacre.
As for his own warhorse, Nem was not worried at all. His warhorse was covered with heavy armor, and the opponent's spear could not hurt his warhorse at all.
"Closer, closer!"
Nei Nu was becoming more and more excited, with a ferocious smile on his face. If the enemies had dispersed earlier, they would have needed more time to deal with them. But in the current situation, they would be able to directly trample a large number of them to death with their war horses in a while!
"kill!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just when Nem was riding his warhorse to within about 20 meters, he suddenly felt something explode beside him. The dazzling white light and the earth-shattering explosion made him a little dazed, as if he had been struck by a bolt from the blue.
"What's going on? Is it thundering? No, the sky is clear tonight!"
Then, Nem felt his center of gravity go empty and he fell forward. It was obvious that the horse under him was injured and had fallen to the ground.
Behind Nem there were screams, horses neighing and people howling, it was extremely chaotic.
"Guards, light the grenade and throw it!"
However, Gervis felt that this was not enough, because now only the Coconut Gold Knights charging in the front were damaged by the explosion, while the Coconut Gold Knights in the back were still intact.
Boom! Boom!
This time the sound of the grenade still resounded through the sky and earth, exploding in the middle and rear sections of the cavalry team. All of a sudden, on this rough dirt road, there was another round of people and horses falling to the ground.
Nem and the others were already numb, because just a moment ago, they could only hear a buzzing sound in their ears, and all other sounds seemed to have disappeared. They could see the people around them constantly shouting and screaming something, but they just couldn't hear the sound clearly.
"Lancers! Forward!"
"Everyone else, charge and kill them all!"
While Nem was still a little overwhelmed, Gervis did not hesitate and shouted out orders one after another.
"Father, hurry up, let's go and take care of those title knights while they are still confused!"
When Gervis was about to rush out, he saw Gandalf standing beside him in a daze with his mouth open.
"well!"
Facing hundreds of cavalrymen charging towards him, Gandalf did not even frown, because he had seen such scenes many times and it was nothing.
But the shocking explosions just now made Gandalf dumbfounded. What the hell was that? Such power made him terrified. He could tell from the miserable condition of the cavalry over there.
The elite cavalry, which originally numbered nearly a hundred people, lost more than half of their men in the explosion just now. Although most of them fell off their horses and were trampled to death by other horses, they were the Coconut Gold Knights, wearing the best armor and riding superior war horses.
"kill!"
As Gervis roared and rushed forward, Gandalf quickly put aside the countless thoughts in his mind, drew his sword and quickly rushed forward.
"kill!"
Although what followed was not a one-sided massacre, it was also a favorable battle, and the elite brigade of a hundred people of the Lakin family was wiped out in a very short time.
Because of the power of the grenade, most of the knights of the Coconut Gold Family were defeated, and even four or five famous knights who were rushing in the front were knocked over and stunned on the spot.
Gervis rushed forward with his fighting spirit at full force, and used a critical strike with a sword, quickly killing several bronze knights whose heads were still confused by the shock wave. Then he ignored Nem and directly joined the battle with other ordinary soldiers.
Naturally, Gandalf dealt with Nem. Nem was a Silver Knight. Although he was also affected by the explosion, he was wearing heavy full body armor and his injuries were not serious. He immediately fought with Gandalf.
But it was obvious that Nem was no match for the experienced Gandalf. The two fought for five or six minutes before the winner was decided.
At the last moment, Gandalf blocked Nem's sword and kicked him in the abdomen. After Nem fell to the ground, Gandalf took advantage of the situation and pressed directly on Nem, inserting the tip of the sword through the gap in Nem's full body armor at the neck.
Thanks to "山上明月清风" for the reward!!!
