Slime Cultivation Game

Her voice was very gentle, and she didn't mean to be hostile to Leo and Kallen, it was as if she really cared about their safety.

But her words conveyed another meaning - Kallen and Leo had little battlefield experience, and if anything went wrong, the Duke's entire plan would be ruined.

If it weren't for the cursed amulet that Kallen had received from her before, Leo would have really been fooled by her appearance.

But now, this disguised lady looked like a clown in Leo's eyes.

"Your Excellency Duke, I am willing to go to the battlefield in place of Kallen and Leo. Let our generation do the work of our generation." Joanna said as she walked to the side of Duke Telsk and patted him gently on the back.

The Duke looked at her, then at Kallen, and said thoughtfully: "Leo, what do you think, do you want Lady Joanna to go to the battlefield instead of you two?"

"Your Excellency the Duke." Leo bowed and saluted: "I think Madam Joanna is worrying too much. Since I am willing to stand up, I am ready to die on the battlefield."

"My soul and body belong to the North. If I die on the battlefield, it will be a worthy death. I only hope that I can chop off a few more heads of Night Demons before I fall!"

"For glory and for the North, I am willing to go to the battlefield!"

As soon as Leo finished speaking, the generals' loud laughter suddenly rang out in the tent:

"Hahaha, great! This is the man from our Northern Territory!"

"That's right, hahahaha, we have another iron-blooded warrior in the North!"

"Knight Leo, you must go all out, and I will support you!"

These old generals of the Duke all looked at Leo with admiration and burning eyes.

After learning about Leo's performance on the journey from Winterhold south to north and then to join up with the Black Cavalry, they already had a liking for this promising young man.

And last night, Leo personally commanded and completed the surprise attack on Winter City, winning a great victory. All in all, he has completely won the recognition of these generals.

On the contrary, it was Lady Joanna's inexplicable "concern" that made everyone unhappy.

"In that case, then it is settled." Duke Telsk made up his mind: "Leo, Kallen, the vanguard of this decisive battle will be left to you two."

The army sets off.

Lady Joanna took advantage of the last bit of darkness before dawn to walk outside the camp, took out a carrier pigeon and released it.

"Hey, Leo, Kallen, why do you two want to die?" Her heroic face was full of satisfaction: "Since you insist on stealing Logan's credit, then die on the battlefield."

"Under the curse I gave you."

That's right, Lady Joanna's original plan had two parts. If the Duke didn't send Kallen to the battlefield, she would have Logan's cronies besiege the Night Demon and take all the credit from his son;

If the Duke insists on letting his daughter take charge, then use the amulet given to Kallen before, combined with the hidden chess pieces laid before, to kill Kallen.

Let her die in the war without anyone knowing.

Unfortunately, Lady Joanna did not expect that Leo had already seen through the spell she prepared...

Chapter 114: Mrs. Stellar is Never Wrong

"Leo..." The Northern Princess sat astride the horse, her heart trembling.

Although she was of noble status, this was her first time participating in a battlefield of this scale, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

She was wearing the special heavy armor of the Duke of the North. The heavy armor had two layers. The first layer was close-fitting soft armor, which maintained the wearer's sensitivity while providing protection for the joints.

The second layer is a set of pitch-black heavy armor enchanted with arcane magic, which is impervious to swords and spears, and indestructible, covering all parts except the joints.

The combination of the two sets of armor can protect the wearer's safety to the greatest extent.

Of course, this is only the maximum extent. If a fight really breaks out, something bad will happen if you are not careful.

"I'm here..." Leo rode side by side with her: "Don't worry, we will win... Kallen, you should stay behind and I will lead the charge."

"No, Leo, this is not just your war, it's mine too." Kallen shook her head stubbornly, her eyes determined: "The children of the North should die on horseback. Besides, I also hope to experience this war with you."

"Humph, don't say such unlucky words." Shikoti walked over, leading the horse: "If you really die, then I will be your master alone, hehehe."

"You! Humph!" Karen knew that she couldn't win the argument with Miss Shikoti, so she snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"Okay, stop it, Shikoti, what does Frey want you to do?" Leo felt a headache and had to change the subject.

Before the war started, the Saint of Order came to see Leo, but because of military preparations, he had no time to spare, so he had to send Shikoti over.

"Frei said that she must talk to you in person about this matter. She plans to come to you after the battle." Shikoti tilted her head: "Master, I don't like that woman. The smell of her makes me uncomfortable."

"Is that so...Okay, I got it." Leo nodded and raised the whip: "Then, tie cotton cloth to the horse to eliminate the sound! Let's get ready for the decisive battle."

Loud sounds of fighting rang out from the walls of the royal city. The Night Demon's attack almost broke through the wall of the south gate of the royal city.

This siege has been going on for five days.

The resistance in the royal city was not as fierce as expected. In other words, the soldiers in the city walls wanted to resist, but their commander did lack excellent command qualities.

Just the tactic of three teams taking turns to attack the city was enough to completely frustrate Logan, who was completely at a loss for a response.

If the situation continues at this rate, the fall of the royal city will only take two or three days.

After that, the Night Demon Army will be able to defend the royal city and fight against the central reinforcements of the Dawn Empire.

And the thousand-mile supply line that was built with great effort can continuously migrate succubi, vampires, trolls and other creatures from the dark land into the north, and the purpose of this holy war will be achieved.

But the commander-in-chief in the military tent, Calvaro, always felt uneasy.

He always felt that there was something he hadn't taken into account.

Calvaro put down the human book in his hand and asked the adjutant beside him: "Is Logan still the commander on the city wall?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Are you sure our poison has killed Duke Telsk?"

"I am sure, Commander, our people saw him fall in the auditorium with their own eyes."

"Well, is there any news from Winter City?"

"Nothing unusual has been reported. Don't worry, sir. Madam Stella is a seasoned rose with thorns. With her around, even if something happens behind Winter City, she can help us delay for enough time. We have already won this war."

"..." Listening to the adjutant's words, Calvaro rubbed his temples without saying a word.

It went smoothly. It was so smooth.

Whether it was the help of the ancient dragon, the cracks in Marian Wall, the fall of Winterhold or the destruction of Winterfell, everything went too smoothly, so smoothly that Calvaro didn't feel a trace of reality.

Even though everything was in his plan, his intuition still told him that something dangerous was about to happen.

The intuition of danger on the battlefield is the instinct of an excellent commander, and Calvaro is willing to trust his instinct, even if it will slow down the siege by a few days.

"Pass the order down. Have the soldiers come back first and organize the formation. All the crossbows, catapults, and spellcasters in the rear army should turn around. Also, send a contact signal to Stella. I want to know the current situation in Winter City."

"Yes..." Although the adjutant felt that the commander was being too suspicious, he had no complaints and was ready to pass on the order.

But unexpectedly, the herald had already rushed into the tent.

"Commander-in-chief, the Black Cavalry! The Black Cavalry appears behind us!"

"What? Impossible. Didn't we force the Black Cavalry into the royal city?" The adjutant stepped forward and grabbed the herald by the collar.

Another herald rushed into the tent: "Commander-in-chief, the Black Cavalry is less than two kilometers behind us!"

"You guys!" The adjutant was furious: "Why did we only find their traces when we were so close?"

"No, I don't know, sir!"

"So fast..." Calvaro was stunned for a second, then he immediately regained his senses: "It's cotton cloth. They wrapped cotton cloth around the horses' hooves, so there is no sound... Asshole, it's too late, the rear army will become the front army, let the spear team go first, and slow down their charge!"

"Call back our cavalry. We must not let the Black Cavalry speed up!"

As he spoke, Calvaro put on his armor, lifted the tent and walked out.

The Night Demon commander, who had been calm and composed since the beginning of the war, showed a look of panic for the first time.

The Black Cavalry came too suddenly, too suddenly in fact.

What a coincidence indeed.

Because of the siege, the main forces of the Night Demon were all near the walls of the royal city. Also, due to his three-shift strategy, the soldiers in the rear were all tired soldiers who had just been replaced.

The result of such an army facing the most elite heavy cavalry in the North can be imagined.

Although there are many night demons, at this moment, they have become a bloated burden.

"Prince Tersk..."

Calvaro gnashed his teeth, realizing that he had been tricked by the King of the North.

But knowing this will not have any effect on the war situation.

"Give me my equipment!" Thinking of this, Calvaro turned over and mounted the giant-toothed lizard.

"Sir!" The adjutant said anxiously, "You can't go to the front line. It's too dangerous over there!"

"If the king doesn't move first, how can his subjects follow him!" Calvaro's eyes widened with anger, and he snatched the spear from his adjutant's hand: "Pass my order, meet the enemy! We must not let the Black Cavalry charge, we still have the advantage in terms of manpower. If we drag them into the quagmire, we will still be the winners of this war!"

While giving orders, he raised his spear and rushed to the rear.

In the direction that the spear was pointing, Leo put down his mask, gripped the lance, and leaned forward slightly.

The flags of Tersk Territory continued to flutter, and five thousand black-armored heavy cavalry came against the wind...

Chapter 115 Let Everything End

Five thousand heavily armored black cavalrymen galloped wildly across the plains.

The tactics used by the heavy cavalry of the Tersk Territory are the tactics of spellcasters cooperating with charges.

Even though there were only 5,000 people, there were still about 1,000 spellcasters chanting for the knights during the charge, releasing a large number of buff spells while pouring fireballs and lightning into the Night Demon army.

The Night Demon army had just retreated from the front line of the battlefield. Both the soldiers and spellcasters were exhausted and could only hide behind their shields during the first round of long-range attacks.

This also ensured that the Black Cavalry's charge speed was not affected in the slightest.

Five thousand fast-moving black cavalry, each holding a seven or eight meter long knight's lance, were like the god of death returning from hell, charging straight into the rear of the Night Devil.

In the face of this black wind sweeping across the north, any resistance is futile.

It was Leo's first time leading a charge, and he was a little nervous at first.

But at this moment, surrounded by such a terrifying army, all his nervousness disappeared.

Kill, kill them all, kill all these damn enemies, leaving no one alive!

This was the only thought left in his mind.

"Raise your shield, don't be afraid, buy time for the caster! Block them! Slow them down for me--ah!"

The Night Demon officers roared at the top of their lungs, trying to boost the morale of their soldiers in this way.

But Leo wouldn't give him that chance.

The "Invisible Thorn" just obtained from Madame Piercing came in handy at this time!

[Invisible Thorn (Legend) (Growable):]

[You can create sharp invisible spikes in the space where your focus is. Such spikes cannot be seen by the naked eye, and the target with lower spiritual vision than you cannot capture it by perception. ]

[Targets killed by the spikes will quickly rot and become scarlet nutrients, increasing the power of this skill until the next advancement.]

[The lethality of the spikes depends on your spiritual vision attribute. It should be noted that the more spikes you summon, the greater your consumption. ]

In such a battlefield, those night demons who look like commanders are simply the best targets for the "Invisible Thorn".

Leo looked at the Night Demon commanders as he charged.

Their bodies were pierced by spikes that came from nowhere. They fell to the ground in an instant, bleeding all over, and turned into corpses at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A few night demons with higher spiritual vision than him were so frightened by the sudden piercing attack that they fell off their horses.

Therefore, the Night Demons, who had finally mustered up the will to fight, fell into infinite fear when they saw their officers dying for unknown reasons.

This fear became the last straw that broke the camel's back for these soldiers.

Rumble!

The thunderous sound of horse hooves finally penetrated into the Night Demon's rear army.

The roars and collisions made these exhausted Night Devil soldiers tremble. They were afraid, they struggled, and they wanted to run...

But, they had no way to escape.

They fired misfiring fireballs and weak arrows, but they were meaningless to the demons before them.
