Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 100 Imperial Cavalry, the Nation's Most Important Weapon

The exasperated forest goblin riders had no time to think about why humans had become so despicable, resorting to tactics and ambushes instead of fighting fairly. A large number of human infantrymen in glistening armor and holding spears pressed forward.

This slope is not really high, it can only be regarded as a small mound, more than ten meters high. As long as the human infantry advances once, the front line will reach the throat of the goblins.

The prisoners, freshly arrived on the battlefield, were trembling with nervousness and excitement. At this moment, they could hardly hear the clamor of the crowds, the roars of their comrades, and the pounding of their spears and the clang of armor and weapons.

They stared intently at the knights fighting in front of them, hoping to gain courage and inspiration from them.

And these majestic knights did not disappoint their expectations. Their tall figures charged in the front. The foot knights were not afraid of the spider's sharp claws. They slashed and stabbed with their weapons. In the fierce fighting battlefield ahead, sharp blades were flying everywhere.

Knight Orstein roared at the first moment of the battle: "Divine Grace Fiery Sun Shield!"

The eight-legged spider's steel-pincer-like jaws bit into the sacred shield in front of him, and the sharp jaws filled with venom shattered it directly. The severe pain made the monster roll and twitch madly on the battlefield, and the goblin tied to its back was thrown out directly.

The sacred and brilliant golden light shone on the human army formation. A goblin's despicable short spear stabbed at the human knight's plate armor but failed to penetrate the solid armor blessed by God.

As it looked astonished, the human knight suddenly stretched out his left hand, grabbed its neck, pulled it off the eight-legged spider's back, and slammed it into the ground. In an instant, its spine was shattered and its entire body was twisted and curled up.

The knight then slammed the war hammer in his right hand down on his ownerless mount. The spider's huge head, along with a large piece of flesh and bone behind its neck, was smashed directly and sank deeply into the abdominal cavity.

The forest goblin spider riders gave up their biggest disadvantage of despicable sneak attacks and directly rushed into the human steel phalanx, suffering heavy losses in an instant.

The bravery of the knights greatly inspired the courage of the criminal army. They rushed forward with spears and swords, roaring and surrounding the goblin riders.

Eighty goblin spider riders were besieged by at least three squadrons of humans. They only felt that there were human spears stabbing at them everywhere. The human infantry spears, which were more than four meters long, were stabbing at them crazily. The densely packed sharp blades were simply not something that the short spears, more than one meter long in their hands, could resist.

Their short spears are suitable for maneuvering on narrow forest paths, but not for fierce fighting on the front battlefield.

The human soldiers swung their blades wildly, and the goblin spider riders felt that each of them had to face the dense stabs of more than a dozen cold spears. The key point was that the sharp blades of these spears were almost as long as their short spears, and they couldn't even fight back.

The fierce battle lasted less than ten minutes. More than forty goblin spider riders died tragically, and the remaining spiders were completely frightened.

Someone trembled and screamed, "We think the situation is not right. The ones who died are us goblins and the cute big spiders. The humans can't resist them."

"There's a cowardly proverb that goes, 'Where there's green, there's firewood.' Run away now, and wait until the situation changes, then fight again. You're just throwing yourself to death now."

However, before they could scream and reach a consensus, on the east side of the mound, the human shock cavalry had already circled behind them.

Su Li held the sword solemnly in front of his chest with both hands. As his horse galloped, he shouted loudly, "In the name of the Goddess of the Fiery Sun, we will cleanse this world of evil and let the blood of our enemies bear witness to our victory! Forward, for the Goddess, for our territory, for glory!"

The four squadrons of shock cavalry raised their arms and shouted, "For glory!"

The cold blade gleamed brightly in the sunlight, and then the knights distanced themselves from each other. The four teams formed a wave-like attack formation and launched a violent charge towards the back of the goblin spider rider.

Su Li took the lead this time. Before the monster could turn around, he suddenly swung the sharp blade in his hand. The blazing rune sword burst out with brilliant flames, like a red-hot knife cutting directly into the cheese. The monster screamed, and even the goblin and the spider were cut into two pieces by the rune sword, and the blood from the wound and the charred organs splattered everywhere.

The wails and screams of the Goblin Spider Riders were incessant, and the knights charged in wave after wave, sweeping across the battlefield like a wave.

Their weak bodies were twisted and broken under the impact of the knights' tall horses.

The fierce battle lasted for more than twenty minutes, and most of the fanatical goblin spider riders were crushed to pieces. They rushed to the battlefield in reckless excitement and became the first to become the souls of the knights' cavalry.

Fewer than ten goblin spider riders fought tooth and nail to break free from the encirclement. Unfortunately, their frantic pursuit all morning had already exhausted the spiders' stamina. These spiders, already slower than giant wolves and warhorses, were exhausted. Facing the well-rested knights, they simply couldn't escape. Their flight simply gave the knights an opportune moment to leisurely reap the spoils.

The pursuit process turned into a game of riding and slashing, and Knight Frederick reaped the most rewards. The huge beast under his crotch was full of energy and agile, which was completely incomparable to ordinary war horses. The half-griffin's strong and huge limbs were equivalent to the galloping hooves of the horse several times, so as many as 7 goblin riders died under Knight Frederick's halberd on the way of pursuit alone.

The bright divine grace enveloped him and the tall figure of his mount. The wounds on his body were slowly healing, and even his strength was slowly increasing.

Perhaps after this battle, he will be able to stabilize at the stage of a mid-level elite knight and prepare to break through to a high-level elite knight.

On the high slope where the fierce fighting took place, the soldiers ignored the stench and filth, and waved flags and shouted wildly, cheering enthusiastically.

Victory is always the best motivation. When our side reports victory as soon as it sets out on a mission, everyone's confidence increases and the morale of the entire army is greatly boosted.

After seeing the blood, the prisoners' fear of war was greatly dissipated, and was replaced by a strong desire for glory!
Just now, the Lord personally freed a slave who had fought bravely in battle. This made all the slaves envious. This lucky guy was simply blessed with such great achievements.

Two of the chariots of the madly racing Jieya bandits fell from a high slope and shattered into pieces, sending the dazed goblins tumbling to the ground. This lucky fellow, possessing both luck and courage, roared and lunged at them with his spear, stabbing the two goblins to death before they could react. Then, covered in blood and roaring furiously, he frightened another goblin so much that he lost his arrow and stabbed him to death beside the shattered chariot.

In this way, this lucky guy successfully obtained three goblin heads.

When Su Li learned about this, he acted decisively and commended him on the battlefield. In addition to freeing him from slavery, he also rewarded him with three golden crowns.

The effect of this incentive is unparalleled. The yearning for war among the criminal army at this moment is no less than that of the violent greenskins and goblins.

War means merit, war means wealth. The weapons in their hands are already hungry and thirsty, and they can't wait to chop off a few goblin heads.

And all this did not make them wait long.

They had just finished cleaning up the battlefield about half an hour ago when the rough roars of the green-skinned orcs and the sharp clamour of the goblins came clearly from the Brienne River.

The scale of the green tide was shocking. There were two to three thousand vanguards alone, and their noisy ranks even covered the grassland and the earth.

Compared with this terrifying scale, the battle on the hillside just now was just an appetizer.

The greenskins also discovered the broken short spears and the flag woven from human skin of the Broken Toe Tribe on the bloody high ground. Above the Jingguan where a large number of goblin heads were piled up, the red flag of the Bauhinia Family was flying. Several knights wearing fine plate armor were guarding under the banner. They took down the flag of the Broken Toe Tribe as if it were garbage and trampled it hard into the bloody mud pit.

The monsters were completely enraged. Although they could not understand the art of the Peking Opera, which looked like a skull offering, there was no need to explain the provocative behavior of humans.

The orcs roared angrily to the sky, and immediately rushed forward fiercely with their swords raised high.

Behind them, dense crowds of goblins, holding short spears, jumped up and down, cursing, and without thinking, followed the orcs in charging.

Su Li stood alone on a high slope, facing the thousands of roaring, snarling monsters charging toward him. He took a deep breath, drew his flaming sword, and pointed it forward! Immediately, a vast array of armored soldiers appeared behind him. An equally impressive human force surged up from the slope behind him. Then, fluttering banners and a forest of spears flanked him, thundering toward the battlefield ahead. The cold gleam of blades and armor, meeting the blazing midday sun, illuminated the heavens and earth, awe-inspiring!
As the infantry phalanxes unfolded and lined up at the foot of the slope, the halfling archers and human archer groups arrived at the top of the slope and formed their battle formations from a high position.

The huge body of the ogre in front of the formation was the first to let out a deafening roar. Two teams of ogre warriors, holding clubs, stood in the middle of the formation. They were the first to bend their bodies and launched a fierce attack.

The huge ogre's battle axe and club suddenly smashed into the surging wave of greenskins, and four or five screaming goblins were directly knocked away.

This blow marked the beginning of today's decisive battle. The halflings and archers immediately began to fire arrows and stones. The two huge armed forces roared and charged at each other, and blood dyed the fertile plain red!
