Chapter 68: Cavalry

The so-called observation deck is made of local materials and cut wood, similar to the audience stand used for knights' competitions. In addition to seats for gentlemen, for practicality, observation decks are also specially built on both sides to facilitate viewing of the forest.

Condition.

Now these were all burned. When the princess arrived under the escort of the imperial guards, she saw the auditorium that had been burned to the point where only the wooden frame was left, and corpses scattered everywhere.

Everyone nearby died, whether they were soldiers or lumberjacks, the elves treated them equally. Among the victims were even a few women and children who had not had time to escape. These were the families of the lumberjacks, who came with their children to give to their husbands.

Rice, that's all.

Who can they threaten?! Are you crazy! The more she knew how far the elves could see, the more Victoria became filled with hatred. The elves clearly knew who had the sword and who didn't, who was a woman and who was a child, but...

To kill them all.

Baron Smith, a local landowner, stood in front of the body of a woman, lowered his head and drew a Spear of Terra on her chest. The woman protected her child until she died, keeping the child under her body. Over-protection actually caused the child's death.

Babies under one year old may die of suffocation due to their mother suffocating them.

It was difficult for Victoria to regard Smith as a model gentleman who cared about his subjects. A man who owned a dungeon and a full set of torture instruments was not a good person. The baron was probably worried that the matter would spread and no one would dare to come.

"Get the bodies of these people..." Before Victoria could finish her words, the guard standing next to her was hit by an arrow. The arrow was blocked by the gorget, and the person who was hit by the arrow was as surprised as the people around her.

Victoria failed to see the follow-up, Lancelot stood up in front of her, and the other guards immediately moved to surround the princess. Victoria could only see a group of backs covered in red cloaks.

The knight had a loud voice, shouting to protect the princess, and even suppressed the "swish, swish" sound of the arrow flying over.

The guards' armor is top-notch, and the soldiers can keep up with ordinary knights, but people always have to leave their eyes open for observation. But the elves like to shoot inward along the gaps in the face armor, making the guards afraid to raise their heads. If the distance between the two sides is not real,

It was far away, and the gap was so small that the guards would have to suffer heavy casualties.

Victoria and the Baron were guarded in the center, and they were surrounded and ran towards the place where the horses were tied. The tower of the castle was within sight, and it only took a few minutes to climb on the horses.

However, humans can see it, and so can elves. A helpless horse that is tied up and cannot run is a better target than a knight in armor.

After only two rounds of volleys, none of the dozens of horses could still stand. After all, animals are tougher than humans. Some horses fell down and kicked their legs and struggled, but they couldn't go anywhere with the drag of the rope.

Victoria watched helplessly as her maroon mare was shot down and then got up until she could no longer move.

"Prietorian Guards!" Lancelot and his men had enough tacit understanding. He only needed to shout and turn back, and naturally several people were separated to accompany him.

"Please, Lord Baron, escort the princess!" The knight raised his shield and formed a small line of defense with the people who volunteered to stay, standing between the princess and the woods.

Lancelot used his remaining eyes to confirm that the baron was running towards the castle with the princess? Victoria was not carried away and had to stay and live and die with her subordinates. As long as the princess was safe? It was the duty of the guards to even die.

Why not?

No matter how good the elf archery is, there is no way he can snipe the princess at a distance of more than a thousand steps. If you want the princess, you have to show your face to me. As expected, the shooting stopped. Jazz risked lowering his shield? He saw it at the edge of the forest.

Horses? There's one behind almost every tree.

Very good? I have always wanted to fight the elves face to face. He looked around and wrote down every face and name. Several subordinates greeted him. All the guards came from the upper-class families in the capital. Most of them knew each other.

"Get ready!" Jazz pulled out his sword and raised it high, not only for his own people to see, but also for the opposite party to see.

Don't they all say that elves have good eyesight? I hope their sense of honor is as good as their eyesight? Don't act like a coward when dealing with several people.

As he wished? The elf cavalry walked out of the forest, and the leader was holding a pennant. Lancelot could not see clearly what was painted on it. He only saw the flag waved hard towards him. At this moment

It was as if the entire forest was alive. The elves were wearing green scales, horses and green blouses. From a distance, it seemed like the trees were moving.

Lancelot had been holding back his words for a long time, but when the situation came to an end, he suddenly didn't want to say anything. What's the point? Everyone will die in the end anyway. The charging elf cavalry was already a hundred meters away, but his thoughts were absent from duty.

Entering the killing field surrounded by skeletons.

He didn't mean to be a coward trying to survive, but the circle was crowded with people, and Lancelot was so crowded that he couldn't move even before he could swing his sword. He was forced to watch the skeletons massacre his soldiers, and more and more blood spattered.

The screams became less and less,

Until it was gone. When he was approaching the critical moment of life and death, there were too many dead people pressing on him and he could not move. But the dead people did not block his mouth. He could still shout and call those damn skeletons to come over and give him a sword, so as not to survive alone.

of shame.

I am a coward, I am disabled, why should I continue to live?

The elf's helmet has a unique style. The top of the helmet is high and pointed, leaving only a slit for the eyes, and a slit from the bridge of the nose to the chin. If you can see so clearly, you are not far from death. The ending is

It was obvious that the elf lowered his spear, and the sun shone on it. The elf and his horse were shoulder to shoulder, and the earth trembled. But he and his men were less than ten men, and they only relied on swords and shields. How could they resist on the flat ground?

cavalry.

People are so weird, they think they only want to die, but when death is really close at hand, Lancelot hesitates.

Turn around and run away, like a rabbit, being knocked down by an elf and then trampled to death by a horse, or standing still, being knocked away by a horse and then trampled to death by a horse. The outcome is actually not bad, the judgment is only up to the person involved.

At least before I die, I want to make sure that the princess is safe... The knight turned back for the last time to look for the princess. What he saw was not Victoria's back, but a large group of knights galloping on horseback. The leading knight held up the mask.

The well-known Imperial Eagle dances in the wind and makes a hunting sound.

The elf stared at the princess, and the people in the castle stared at the elf. That's it.

Before being involved in the melee between the two groups of cavalry, Lancelot ran down the road with his men and found a small raised earth slope next to it. The knight was in no hurry to leave. It was his duty to protect the safety of the princess.

Rather than fighting on the battlefield. But considering all the embarrassments caused by using one eye to see people and things these days, he has a personal grudge to settle with the elves.
