Chapter 324 The melee begins
The elf cavalrymen were equipped with melee weapons, which they had noticed long ago, but Li Ce had never had the opportunity to see them use them before.
Now that the battle has reached this point, they finally have the chance.
The sword blade was long and narrow, and it still shone brightly under the not-so-strong light of the early morning.
At the same time, perhaps it was the powerful airflow wrapped around their bodies that was taking effect, but the elf cavalry's horses seemed to be running faster than usual. The horses' galloping movements were inexplicably light, as if a gust of wind was passing by, and they directly killed the velociraptors.
The velociraptors were horrified upon seeing this, and hurriedly, relying on the velociraptors' advantage of being able to run, jump and dodge flexibly, jumped to the sides, trying to resolve the threat from the frontal charge.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, the elf cavalrymen holding knights' long swords cut their throats and pierced their hearts in an extremely light and calm manner! There was no frenzy when regular cavalry troops launched a charge, and only a light and easy manner was presented.
This scene undoubtedly brought a huge impact to Li Ce and others.
The charge of Li Ce and his men was a purely mindless one. After their war horses gathered speed, they basically did not need to think about anything and did not need to perform any unnecessary operations. They could just crush their opponents from the front in the simplest and most brutal way.
But from Silk's charge, Li Ce could clearly see the opponent's control and skills! Of course, he didn't have time to dwell on this now. After Silk's elven cavalry opened a path for them with a charge, Li Ce and Drogo hurried to follow.
During this period, the raptors who attacked from both sides were frightened by the scene, but they did not forget their duties.
All I heard was the leading swift dragoon uttering a strange sentence.
The tone was very special, as if it was a completely unfamiliar language to them.
But the lizard man who shouted that sentence seemed extremely excited.
After hearing this, the other dragoons also started shouting. The fear in their hearts disappeared with the shouting, and what remained was full determination.
The velociraptors on both sides quickly pressed forward, and the powerful airflow wrapped around each elven cavalryman provided them with a certain degree of protection.
The strange crystal weapons of the velociraptors stabbed towards them, but were all deflected by the strong airflow. Even some of the lizardmen lost their hold on their weapons and were blown away by the airflow.
But all these things could not stop their next actions. Those slogans seemed to have a special magic, making them more courageous and fearless! They launched an attack on them one after another!
You know, the Lizardmen are not just any ordinary soldiers. Relying on the destructive power brought by the charge and the iron spears in their hands, they can give the opponent a fatal blow relatively simply and brutally.
But on the other hand, once the cavalry loses the power of the charge, they lose speed and the situation falls into a melee. Then the individual combat power of the Lizardmen will be obviously stronger than them. At the same time, the advantages of the flexibility and speed of the velociraptors will be fully reflected in this melee.
This is also the main reason why they always retreated after one strike and never fought to the end, because they did not want to get involved in a melee with the Lizardmen, which is also a way of playing to their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses.
However, with the change of tactical thinking, this tactical style that tends to be more focused on guerrilla warfare is difficult to maintain.
At the same time, the velociraptors in front of them were undoubtedly aware of this. At this time, these guys were already dragging them into the melee at all costs! Facing the velociraptors' actions, the elven cavalry, led by Silk, as the pioneers, were the top priority.
The airflow wrapped around them can, to a large extent, ensure that the elven cavalry will not lose speed even if they have a certain degree of head-on collision with the enemy.
But obviously, this airflow cannot last forever.
The start of the melee caused the pressure that the air barrier had to withstand to rise sharply, and soon it was completely dissipated in the high-frequency attack.
As soon as the air barrier dissipated, the elf cavalry obviously lost speed, and the entire cavalry team was affected.
Seeing the opportunity, the opposing dragoons roared and launched a more ferocious siege, further intensifying the melee.
"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that these lizardmen are even more difficult to deal with than before?!"
In the melee, Zhou Chongshan, the most powerful general under Zhou Xu, showed his prowess and asked this question after stabbing a velociraptor to death with a single shot.
In combat, Zhou Chongshan has always had a sharp intuition and would never attack without a purpose.
Almost at the same time when Zhou Chongshan said this, Silk, who also swung his sword to kill a velociraptor, also frowned and said...
“I feel the same way.”
As he spoke, three more velociraptors rushed towards him.
The individual combat power of these lizardmen is indeed extraordinary. In terms of physical fitness alone, they are probably even better than the elves. Almost at the same time when the melee started, the entire battle situation before their eyes began to change.
With another swing of the sword, he took the life of a raptor, while the other two raptors were about to rush in front of him.
Before he could think about it, a series of difficult tones came out of Silk's mouth.
At the same time, the knight's sword in Silk's hand emitted a sky-blue light. With a swing of the sword, the gust of wind that was stirred up immediately turned into a sharp blade in the whistling sound, and cut one of the velociraptors in half on the spot! From the velociraptor to the lizardman, the entire cut was so smooth that it was almost numbing. It was enough to show how sharp that wind blade was! However, Silk, who had launched such an attack, did not even have time to be proud. He immediately swung his sword to parry the crystal spear that stabbed from the other side.
"Logically speaking, they should be in poor condition due to the accumulated fatigue after not getting enough rest for such a long time. What's going on with these lizardmen?"
Obviously, the current situation has completely exceeded Li Ce's expectations, and he is a little confused about what is going on.
During this process, Ye Jinghong, who was in the back, keenly noticed a clue.
"Something's wrong. The blood of those lizardmen seems to be evaporating continuously and turning into something like mist, which is being absorbed by the living lizardmen!"
