Chapter 488 Dawn
Those pairs of green eyes gave the night sky a strange light and shadow, and the entire atmosphere of the scene became eerie and terrifying.
Of course, the dragoons led by Gruul didn't have the energy to feel the atmosphere at this moment.
Gruul's previous hasty retreat order, coupled with the sudden attack by the Skeleton Soldiers, caused many of the Dragoons to panic and the scene was in chaos.
Looking at the horrifying scene in front of him, Diak, who had been chasing the opposing velociraptor troop all the way back with his Centaurs, now had a look of disbelief in his eyes.
The impact of the scene before him was so great that it made his scalp numb.
This was a situation completely beyond his imagination.
After seeing the size of the opposing cavalry unit, Diak was really unsure and thought he would be defeated.
Who would have thought that the king of the Great Zhou could have turned the situation around by himself? Thinking of this, Diak looked at Drogo with a bit of surprise.
Feeling the gaze from Diack, although Drogo felt puzzled and didn't know what was going on with the other party, he still raised his head proudly, which did not affect his pride at all.
At this moment, on a simple sentry tower in the garrison camp, a soldier was waving the flag repeatedly.
Ordinary soldiers would definitely not be able to see clearly in such an environment, and the Centaurs were obviously not among them.
So that banner is just for them to see.
"The King ordered us to join the cavalry and seize the opportunity to launch an attack on the opposing Swift Dragon Cavalry!"
After understanding the meaning of the flag, Drogo reacted immediately and took action with the Centaurs led by Diak.
Under the cover of night, the centaurs did not need torches for lighting, so it was very difficult for the Great Zhou cavalry led by Zhou Chongshan and Silk to find them.
But on the other hand, it was easy for Drogo to find Zhou Chongshan and the others.
After all, they were on standby outside the camp and didn't dare to run far.
After the two sides met up, they immediately took action without any nonsense.
The number of velociraptors was indeed a little beyond Zhou Xu's initial expectations. Although the sudden attack by the skeleton soldiers temporarily pinned down the enemy, the enemy's scale and strength were still there, and the skeleton soldiers could not hold them back for too long.
The current battle has reached the most critical point. Next, it depends on whether their Great Zhou’s cavalry and the Centaurs can seize this opportunity and successfully inflict heavy damage on the opposite side!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard. The cavalry troops that were nearby were now coming very fast!
At the same time, Gruul, who noticed the movement here, his face changed suddenly. Needless to say, he already realized what was going to happen next.
"Crush them!!!"
Drogo let out a battle cry, and crushed the skeleton soldiers that were in his way! Maintaining his unstoppable momentum, he crashed into the velociraptors who had not yet stabilized their position.
In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere! Along with shrill screams, they turned into ruthless killing machines, and launched a crazy back and forth attack on the chaotic battlefield!
In the era of cold weapons, there is no doubt about how lethal a cavalry group charge was.
It is no exaggeration to say that a well-executed charge is enough to change the course of an entire battle! Although the Dragoons were larger in size, they were completely trapped in the attack by the Skeleton Soldiers and could not extricate themselves. How could they compete with Drogo's group charge? The enchanted iron spear in his hand kept piercing the enemy's body, and the hot blood splashed directly on Drogo's face, but his expression did not change at all.
By now, the high-intensity fighting had made Drogo's entire state numb, and even his brain had basically stopped thinking and became blank.
My ears were buzzing from so many screams that I could no longer hear what people were shouting around me.
But it didn't matter. For him, as long as he continued to pierce the enemy's body with the enchanted iron spear, there would be no problem! The battle was still going on, but the skeleton soldiers had quietly left the battlefield.
It was not only because too many skeleton soldiers were completely crushed by the cavalry of both sides during the fight, but also because the power of mantra consumed by Zhou Xu in the process of using "beast soldier control" to forcibly control the armored dragon to fight for him was obviously beyond the original plan.
In addition, there were so many velociraptors in front of him, and in order to ensure that he could hold the enemy back, he had to pull up more skeleton soldiers at once.
Due to various factors combined, he had consumed a large amount of mantra power, and his sustained combat capability was significantly reduced.
But it doesn't matter, after all, he has almost done what he wanted to do.
He let out a long breath. He was not exhausted yet. He left himself some energy to observe the battle situation and give commands when necessary.
Without the control of the skeleton soldiers, the pressure on the remaining dragoons was significantly reduced.
Of course, these lizardmen themselves might not have noticed this change at all. Many of them had been stunned by the crazy charge of their Great Zhou cavalry. When they saw the chance, they immediately fled in panic and had no energy to think about anything else.
At this moment, Zhou Xu didn't need to give any orders. As soon as the enemy fled, Drogo and his men started chasing them, and they habitually changed their weapons to bows and arrows.
But unfortunately, the long fight had almost made their hands numb. Even an archer like Zhou Chongshan had lost his accuracy.
After a few missed arrows, Zhou Chongshan simply put the bow and arrow back on the saddle and gave up the idea.
In the plains, their war horses have advantages in endurance and straight-line speed over the opponent's velociraptors, so they don't have to worry about not being able to catch up.
"We'll lead the team!"
Perhaps fearing that something might happen if they were too late, the elven knights led by Silk quickly rushed up from the back of the team.
The actions of Silk and the others made Drogo look dazed for a moment.
It was because it was late at night and the human cavalry and the elven knights had unclear vision, so the entire battle was basically led by the Centaurs.
He was surprised when Silk rushed over.
It was not until he caught a glimpse of a faint glow in the distant sky out of the corner of his eye that Drogo reacted.
"It's dawn..."
