Chapter 399: Invasion of the Continent
They didn’t have to wait too long for this day. After only half a month, another energy channel slowly took shape in the edge of the world.
It was the first time for the cavalry team led by Silk to enter the energy channel, and the feeling was quite magical.
You can feel that the energy that makes up the energy channel is constantly flowing like water.
"We don't know when the energy channel will close. The faster we move, the better!"
Just as Silk was looking around, Drogo's voice came from the front.
Before they knew it, the centaurs led by Drogo had already put some distance between them. Seeing this, Silk did not dare to delay, and with a command, a group of elven knights galloped and chased after them at the fastest speed.
Following the energy channel, Drogo, Silk and the others didn't know how long they had been running. The next second, they saw a bright light in front of their eyes, and a strange world suddenly came into their sight.
In the world's edge area of the Lizardman Continent, although the other side also has garrisons deployed, the Lizardmen on the opposite side obviously do not think that they have the courage to take the initiative to attack. The patrol soldiers who are on duty are all a bit careless in their performance.
The next second, they were startled by the centaurs and elf knights who suddenly rushed out of the energy channel.
"Don't worry about them, just follow me, let's get out of here first!"
No matter how lax the border defense on the opposite side is, they are 100% at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
Not to mention that once their presence is discovered, the Lizardmen's forces will be mobilized quickly. By then, their situation in this plain area will be quite bad, so the best strategy is to leave quickly.
In just a short while, the lizardmen who had reacted had already blew the horn, adding a sense of urgency to their actions.
Drogo and Silk's eyes quickly swept around, and they could see that within their field of vision, there were already swift dragoons rushing out of the Lizardman camp.
There was no need to think too much, these velociraptors were coming for them.
At the same time, the pterosaur riders on the opposite side also quickly took off, which doubled their pressure.
With that kind of situation, if they weren't careful, they would probably be killed right here.
Although Drogo and his companions had been here once before and had some experience, to be honest, there was not this kind of scene when they came here last time.
At this moment, a team of velociraptors had already rushed to the path they had to pass. It seemed that a head-on conflict was inevitable.
Silk subconsciously wanted to activate the air barrier to break through, but was stopped in time by Drogo.
"Don't use the air barrier. This is our trump card for the return trip later. We will most likely rely on this move to break through the lizardmen's blockade and return. If we are exposed in advance and the other side is prepared, we will be in danger."
After saying that, Drogo quickly checked the number of the dragoons. There were about ten in total, so he could still handle it.
"Focus and follow me closely! Let's just charge straight in!"
Drogo's arrangement was completely inconsistent with Silk's original idea, but at this critical moment, Silk did not hesitate and directly chose to trust Drogo's judgment. This was also the trust they had cultivated in their previous long-term training.
Holding their breath, they quickly approached the team of velociraptors that were blocking their way.
From some of the opponent's small movements, Drogo was able to guess that the opponent wanted to jump away the moment he approached, and then attack them from the side.
This is also one of the most commonly used tactics of the dragoons.
But the lizard people were obviously unaware that, in response to this move, their Great Zhou cavalry had been conducting targeted training throughout the winter.
At that moment, Drogo measured the distance with his eyes and found the right moment. He caught the moment when the velociraptors on the opposite side were about to jump sideways to dodge. With a roar, the centaurs' four legs burst out with amazing propulsion, allowing the centaurs led by Drogo to rush in front of the velociraptors in one breath! "Kill!!!"
Amid roars, the iron spears with explosive momentum easily pierced through the bodies of the opposing dragoons. The whole process was smooth and they did not feel any hindrance at all.
With blood splattering and bodies flying out, the opposing dragoon squad collapsed almost instantly! With Drogo as the spearhead, facing the interception of the enemy dragoon squad, they directly crushed them from the front with the most brutal attitude!
"call--"
After letting out a long breath, Silk's palms, which were tightly gripping the weapon and reins, began to sweat.
Although they had performed actions like this countless times in training.
But this is the first time to conduct actual combat.
Under normal circumstances, the Centaurs headed by Drogo have the strongest instantaneous explosive power.
If they hadn't known the tactics in advance and concentrated their minds to prepare themselves mentally, Silk and the others might not have been able to keep up with the sudden acceleration.
Looking back at the pterosaur cavalry squad that had turned into corpses, Silk quickly came to his senses, then bent his bow and shot two tracking arrows at the pterosaur riders who were chasing him from the air.
After using these two arrows to hold back the pterosaur riders' subsequent pursuit, they continued to accelerate, following Drogo and the others, and left this area as quickly as possible.
"This is one of our hiding places. It looks like the lizardmen on the other side haven't discovered this place yet. We should be safe for the time being here."
At this moment, they had already hidden in a woodland.
Drogo and the others breathed a sigh of relief, took off the animal hide water bags on their backs, and replenished themselves with water.
During the break, Silk walked over to Drogo and asked...
"What do we do next?"
Faced with this question, Drogo looked around.
"Gather some resources nearby, and spend the first night here in peace."
“…”
This was obviously not what Silk had expected.
Seeing what Silk was thinking, Drogo spoke again...
"Do you remember what the king told you before? The Lizardmen already know we are coming, so while they are strengthening the guard there, they will definitely send troops to look for us."
"Maybe there are pursuers outside now."
"That is to say, even if we do nothing now, we can still achieve the goal of containing the Lizardmen's forces."
Having said that, Drogo changed the subject.
"Of course, according to the king's intention, we will not really do nothing, but we have to reduce the frequency of action because the arrows we brought are very limited."
"Once a battle breaks out, our arrows will be used up and our weapons will be worn out, which will not be conducive to our long-term operations here."
