Whoosh! Whoosh!~~
Following Valoran's command, two continuous, melodious horn blasts sounded.
Rustle, rustle!
Clang, clang!
Behind where Dicken and the others were being rescued, in front of the ambush points on the left and right sides of the forest destroyed by the Wood Dancer and the suicidal cavalry, thick, long ropes buried underground were pulled up.
Rows of thick wooden stakes, facing the direction of Dicken, Koma, and the other Frey Family cavalry, were pulled up from the ground by ropes,
pointing diagonally at the Frey Family cavalry who were preparing to retreat, directly cutting off their escape route.
"Stop!"
Riding his horse to where Dicken and the others, who had been urgently bandaged and helped onto their warhorses, were, Koma waved his hand to stop the Frey Family cavalry behind him.
Looking at the rows of sharp wooden stakes that were clearly impossible to break through by force, he looked anxiously towards the center of the cavalry formation that had charged as a group,
hoping that Duke Forrest would relay a command and tell him what to do next.
Duke Forrest was indeed thinking about how to deal with this ambush within an ambush by the enemy.
After quickly thinking, he gave his on-the-spot judgment to the messenger: "Order the entire army to turn around and charge again...
This group of enemies cannot withstand our iron hooves! Pierce through their formation and decapitate the enemy Commander!"
"Yes, Commander!"
After Duke Forrest gave the order, Koma instantly felt as if he had gained a backbone.
He immediately acted as a mid-level Commander, directly ordering the entire army to turn around and prepare for the final charge.
When all the Frey Family cavalry had turned around, Koma then discovered,
that tens of thousands of Tiger Party infantry had surrounded them from the other three directions.
This overwhelming formation brought immense pressure to this group of Frey Family soldiers, numbering only over seven hundred.
Moreover, they were constantly squeezing the space for the Frey Family cavalry to maneuver. If they hadn't just happened to turn around at the very back, they wouldn't even have had enough distance to accelerate before charging.
There are still so many enemies?
It feels like charging into a thick city wall. Can we really pierce through their formation?
Whew! No time to think about this!
Just as Koma was incredibly conflicted and preparing to charge desperately regardless of the cost.
A grey icefield wolf quickly ran out of the forest on the right side, arriving later but hitting the encircling force directly in front of Koma.
Ah!!!
This grey icefield wolf instantly caused casualties among more than a dozen Tiger Party infantry, and also caused a small commotion.
But for the tens of thousands of Tiger Party infantry, the impact of a grey icefield wolf was like a slight ripple in a pond, completely insignificant.
The Wood Dancer, who had transformed into a grey icefield wolf, also realized this, so she gave up killing the enemy and turned to run directly towards Duke Forrest, who was in the center of the Frey Family cavalry.
Anyway, the command her master had given was to protect this human; the other humans were completely unimportant.
So she was now preparing to break out alone with Duke Forrest.
Hmm?
Just as the grey icefield wolf was about to approach the Frey Family cavalry, she seemed to sense something and looked up at the western sky where Grus was located.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In the sky, a small black dot was growing larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Roar~~~
Its sound was heard before its person was seen!
A high-pitched Dragon roar sounded in the sky, instantly attracting the attention of tens of thousands of people at this ambush point.
Like a highlight moment, it naturally has to be presented in a fitting way!
Ela, wearing a black hooded robe and a mask of a demonic artifact, was seen leaping down from Arrax's back.
As she rapidly fell to a distance of thirty to forty meters from the ambush point, she instantly floated in the sky as if weightless.
Crack, crack, crack!
Several disposable demonic artifact masks, serving as magic storage devices, floated out of Ela's robe out of thin air, and then shattered one by one.
A large amount of faintly visible translucent mist quickly integrated into Ela's body, and her eyes instantly shone like stars.
If Jacaerys were here, he would know at a glance that Ela was about to unleash a big move with this stance!
After a period of high valyrian chanting, the air above the ambush point immediately began to distort and deform.
Of course, the Tiger Party infantry were not made of wood; while Ela was chanting, they continued to encircle under the Commander's command.
But this made their formation even more concentrated, making it more convenient for Ela's magic attack.
Cold knowledge: When air rapidly moves from a high-pressure environment to a low-pressure environment, it absorbs heat, causing the trace moisture in the air to condense into ice.
Although this process is a long one, usually from liquefaction to water droplets and then to ice.
But in this world with extraordinary power, magical magic can greatly shorten and enhance the time required for this process.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Above the foremost Tiger Party infantry, sharp ice shards half a meter long appeared one after another, and then suddenly plummeted from high in the sky.
Puff, puff!
Sharp ice shards carrying gravitational potential energy directly split open the heads of the Tiger Party infantry.
Moreover, the power of this magic, which cost Ela a lot of magic, was far more than just this.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
When the bodies of the Tiger Party infantry who were pierced by the sharp ice shards fell to the ground, these ice shards directly melted.
Along with many other ice shards that fell on the open ground, they turned into a huge circular ice crystal ground at the feet of the still-living Tiger Party infantry, and spread outwards at high speed.
And then...
Puff, puff!
When this circular ice crystal ground, like an ice domain, stopped spreading, countless glittering ice cones, long and short, suddenly pierced out from the ice crystal ground.
These glittering ice cones, intertwined in a completely irregular manner, instantly pierced the hundreds of Tiger Party soldiers covered by the circular ice crystal ground into sieves.
Ah, ah, ah!
Most of the Tiger Party soldiers in the circular ice crystal ground died instantly, while a small number of lucky ones who did not die screamed and wailed continuously.
Hoora, hoora!
At the same time, Arrax, who had already flown to the very back of the Tiger Party soldiers to cover their retreat, also opened its blood-red mouth.
Scorching Dracarys poured out of its Dragon mouth, and the panicked Tiger Party soldiers on the ground, whether infantry or cavalry, were ignited into torches.
A minute ago, the Frey Family cavalry were in a desperate situation.
A minute later, relying on two people and one Dragon, they directly reversed the desperate situation.
Seeing this, Duke Forrest grinned, and then shouted loudly to the messenger: "What are you waiting for? Charge with me, don't let this group of damned bastards escape!"
After receiving Duke Forrest's command, Koma immediately felt as if he had eaten a calming pill.
He raised his long sword high, swung it fiercely towards the front, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, charge!"
After overcoming the panic just now, Koma then realized.
Although the tens of thousands of Tiger Party infantry attacked from three sides, the dense formation with heads everywhere indeed looked very intimidating.
But in reality, except for the six to seven thousand troops directly in front who were attacked by the magic used by Lord Ela, which was composed of well-equipped Tiger Party infantry mixed with local militia.
The nearly ten thousand enemy troops on the left and right sides, from their appearance, were purely Volantis civilians who had been pulled in to make up the numbers.
Most of them were only wearing simple leather armor, and a few didn't even have leather armor, just wearing their old clothes,
holding wooden boards as shields and wooden spears as lances, shouting loudly and attacking with the large encircling force.
Yes, these nearly twenty thousand Tiger Party soldiers on the left and right sides, except for the supervisory troops at the very back, were all Volantis civilians pulled out of the surrounding towns by Valoran.
"What... what are these?
The Dragon is here too? What about the promises made by those damned R'hllor followers?"
Valoran, standing on the hill, watched in stunned silence as that large area of ice shard domain suddenly appeared in their relatively elite infantry unit.
His mind was blank, and he had no idea how to deal with this situation next.
The reason why Valoran risked coming up with the daring tactical plan of abandoning the city for a field battle and ambush.
Was actually because the Red Priests of the Volantis Red Temple had come to him, wanting to unite with him to clear out the minions of these Otherworldly Gods.
But Valoran had absolutely no idea that before he could even see clearly what had happened, his elite Tiger Party infantry unit, which he had placed at the forefront, had been reduced by at least one-fifth by that ice cone domain.
Tap, tap, tap!
The Tiger Party infantry were now too shocked to move, but the Frey Family cavalry would not just stand there foolishly.
As Koma's command was given, over seven hundred Frey Family cavalry charged towards the enemy directly in front.
Bang, bang, bang!
The Frey Family cavalry charging as a group were like a heavy truck, directly plowing a road full of blood and corpses through the crowd of Tiger Party infantry.
And at this moment, Ela's eyes in the sky had dimmed, completely lacking the star-like brilliance they had just before.
That big move of the ice shard domain just now had indeed exhausted most of her magic.
But she still had combat capability, because if she only wanted to kill ordinary people, she didn't need very advanced magic.
After exchanging glances with the enemy Commander on top of the hill from a distance, a smile appeared on Ela's face,
Then she quickly chanted a sentence, lazily stretched out her fair right hand, and pointed it at Valoran on top of the hill.
Whoosh!
An ice crystal spear condensed out of thin air beside Ela, and then, this beautiful and deadly ice spear shot towards Valoran with a whistling sound of breaking air.
As soon as Ela started chanting, Valoran, standing on the hill, had been alerted.
So when he felt a strong sense of threat in his heart, he chose to trust his intuition and directly rolled off his horse.
Rip!
Neigh~~
Just as Valoran jumped off his warhorse and rolled on the ground to dissipate the force, an ice crystal spear, like a piece of ice sculpture art, directly pierced through the warhorse's abdomen, and the sharp, blood-stained spear tip protruded a large section from the warhorse's back.
Valoran's mount let out a short and urgent cry of pain, and then directly collapsed to the ground and died.
It was also fortunate that he jumped off the warhorse in time, otherwise he would have been killed by this ice crystal spear as well.
Hmph, not slow to react! Let's see how many shots you can dodge!
Ela saw Valoran's action of jumping off his horse to save himself, her heart stirred, and she flew towards Valoran's direction.
Bang, bang, bang!
The Frey Family cavalry continuously cut and slashed through the Tiger Party infantry unit, and in such a short time, they had already cut and killed nearly half of the Tiger Party infantry.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Swish, swish, swish!
Just then, the trebuchets and Volantis archer unit behind the hill launched an indiscriminate covering attack on this battlefield.
Bang, bang!
Hiss, hiss!
In the close-quarters combat between the Frey Family cavalry and the Tiger Party infantry, these heavy stones and sharp arrows basically did not miss their targets.
Large numbers of Frey Family cavalry and Tiger Party infantry were instantly killed by the stones and arrows on this battlefield.
Ela in the sky also saw that the enemy Commander not only didn't escape, but also attacked his own people indiscriminately.
"Heh, still want to take some people down with him before he dies?
Humans are truly too evil!"
Rip!
Three ice crystal spears condensed consecutively beside her, and then shot towards Valoran below.
Puff!
After dodging the first ice crystal spear, Valoran was directly pinned to the ground by the other two ice crystal spears and died on the spot.
Moreover, not everyone was as willing to die as this Volantis Tiger Party official.
As soon as he died, his soldiers immediately knelt down and surrendered, and the remaining more than ten thousand Volantis civilians knelt down even faster.
Thus, Jacaerys's eastern expedition path had no more obstacles, with only the isolated Volantis, with only one-tenth of its troops remaining, standing alone! (End of this chapter)
