Chapter 1018: If we don’t act now, when will we act!!!
Once Guderian escaped from the ambush range.
Received support from the army in the rear.
That would mean that Melissa's ambush was a complete failure.
Now Melissa can only let the shadow warlock take the dragon knight on an adventure.
Fortunately, the dragon knight is very powerful.
Now, relying on the dragon knights, thousands of border knights have been successfully retained.
And this moment.
What they didn't know was that the entrance to the spider mine was just ahead.
Heidi had already ambushed at the entrance with a group of spies armed with alchemical crossbows.
This spy team is small in number.
Heidi was originally in charge of the area deep in the Spider Mine.
But now the ambush circle over there has been completed.
The alchemical puppets brought by Kro were hidden in various places.
Just wait for Guderian to lure the enemy in and detonate the alchemical acid in the alchemical puppet.
Even if the gods come, they cannot escape.
Deep in the Spider Mine, just Kro is enough.
In case something happens to Guderian and he cannot complete the mission.
She personally led three thousand spies to the entrance of the Spider Pit to meet them.
Most of these spies were nobles who were previously hunted down by the commander of the Hastings Guards, Fermi, who was killed in battle.
Among them, except for the third prince who had a special status and was assigned other positions.
All the remaining nobles became spies under Heidi.
The families of these nobles all died in the siege by the evil god's army.
He has a deep hatred for Hastings and the evil god.
There is no problem with his loyalty and with a little training he can become the best fighter.
And this is also their first battle following Heidi after joining the spies.
Ambush point.
Heidi is checking the set-up alchemical crossbow.
The roar of a giant dragon coming from afar made the spies around look a little nervous.
These nobles of the Hastings resistance were wiped out in such a short time because of the attack of the dragon.
Deep in their hearts, they have an irrepressible fear of dragons.
Heidi brought them here this time to eliminate this fear.
Face the dragon and kill it!
This time, among the alchemical weapons that Heidi and her friends brought was a dragon-hunting alchemical crossbow specifically designed to deal with giant dragons.
Just shoot the dragon.
One shot and you die!
"do not be afraid."
"The so-called dragons are nothing more than a group of giant lizards."
Heidi patted the camouflaged alchemical crossbow beside her.
"These guys are specially designed to be used as weapons to deal with giant dragons."
"As long as we hit one of them, the dragon will surely die!!!"
Facing subordinates who were terrified at the sound of a dragon's roar.
Heidi spoke to comfort him.
As the leader of a spy organization.
So far, Heidi's spies have also taken on missions on the battlefield.
At this time, most of the time, the functions between arms are not so rigid.
There is no particular professionalism, they are basically all-rounders.
For example, archers who are good at archery can become sharp warriors who can break through the enemy's formation by putting on iron armor and carrying battle axes.
This method can not only solve the problem of insufficient soldiers, but also maximize the value of each soldier.
Unlike the professional legions on Blue Star, the army after the great division of labor in society often requires more professional arms to bring out the advantages of weapons.
But it is not necessary in this era.
Inspired by Heidi.
The spies who were originally fearful now looked determined.
After a while.
A huge roar was heard from the sky.
Several giant dragons flapped their wings and rushed over with a roar.
Appeared above the Spider Mine for reconnaissance.
The dragon has extremely strong eyesight.
Can easily identify whether there are ambushes nearby.
This is why the Shadow Warlock sent them out for reconnaissance just to be on the safe side.
However, the troops at the ambush point had already taken this into consideration.
Heidi and the three thousand spies were all coated with the invisibility potion developed by Lilith specifically for dragons.
Once applied, it can blend into the surrounding environment.
It can also cause visual errors on the dragon.
Can't identify them.
Three giant dragons flapped their wings and hovered in the air.
His eyes wandered around the Spider Mine.
After knowing that Alpha has a weapon that can kill a dragon instantly.
They did not land to conduct reconnaissance.
So in order to investigate more carefully.
From time to time it flies across the sky.
Looking for possible enemies in the Spider Mine.
But the outside of the Spider Mine is coated with a special invisibility potion.
Inside the Spider Mine.
All the alchemical puppets are buried in large and small mines.
The dragons patrolled for a long time but did not find any ambushing enemies here.
Then he said to the dragon knight behind him.
"Alpha's knights are fleeing in this direction."
"He must be trying to hide by taking advantage of the terrain of the Spider Mine."
"There are numerous paths in this mine."
"In the depths, there are still a large number of spider monsters."
"If we let them escape in, it will be more than ten times more difficult for us to annihilate them."
"We must stop them in front."
"I request that some dragons ambush in this direction in advance."
"Intercept the Alpha Knight who is trying to escape into the Spider Mine."
The dragons are subordinate to the God of Red Flame and naturally know the importance of this battle.
They are few in number and can only bring out their advantages at the most critical moment.
And now!
It's the most critical moment.
Although this action is a bit risky.
After all, there are only more than a hundred dragon knights.
With such a small number, they are trying to intercept a legion of tens of thousands.
It's somewhat suicidal.
So when this suggestion was brought to the Shadow Warlock.
Naturally it was rejected.
At this time, the Shadow Warlock was commanding the Dragon Knight to fly over continuously.
Breathing dragon flames.
Burning the border knights.
Shadow Warlock is cautious.
Hundreds of dragon knights did not attack together.
And six are sent out each time.
Randomly pick a location to attack.
Even in the border knight corps, there are still a large number of alchemical crossbows.
But faced with such shameless tactics.
But they could only passively take the beating.
All the border knights who tried to stop and resist were annihilated by the evil knights who caught up with them.
The last short 90 miles.
Guderian's border knights have lost more than three thousand because of the dragon.
"Spider Mine!"
The shadow warlock, who had just led the dragon knights in a successful attack, heard the report from his subordinates.
His face was slightly stern.
He knows the place.
Rich in high-quality iron ore.
The Alpha Kingdom sent all captured prisoners to the Spider Mine.
After it dies, it will be thrown to the Warcraft spider to eat.
After hundreds of years of excavation.
The mine was completely depleted of high-quality ore.
The remaining part of the mineral vein is deep inside and is occupied by a large number of spider monsters.
It is a famously dangerous place.
Over the years, only some adventure groups and mercenaries would go deep into the Spider Mine to search for some higher-value ores.
As for the Grand Corps, it had never been there.
However, the Spider Mine can accommodate at least 100,000 troops.
The mine tunnels are intricate and complex.
There also seems to be a top-secret tunnel leading to Alpha's border city.
"So, the Spider Mine is their escape route."
"Once you get in, you can successfully escape."
In order to keep them.
There is nothing wrong with the suggestion of interception.
but!
The Shadow Warlock knows it too.
To intercept such a legion would mean facing their frenzied attack.
Hundreds of dragon knights are very powerful.
But this knight corps still has more than 7,000 knights.
Plus a large number of magic crystal warriors.
Fall to the ground to harden the steel.
Even a legendary dragon knight would find it difficult to win.
In the end, even if it was successfully intercepted.
There is a high probability that all of his dragon knights will be wiped out.
As the Holy Son of the God of Red Flame.
How could the Shadow Warlock not know that his own God wanted to destroy Fang Yuan first and then the Evil God.
If all these dragon knights were wiped out.
Not only could the god's plan not be completed.
There is also the possibility that after destroying Fang Yuan, the evil gods will unite and target him.
So this is good advice.
But the Shadow Warlock refused to carry out.
only!
How can we stop this cavalry regiment from entering the Spider Mine?
This became a headache.
Just at this time.
A dragon knight who was familiar with the Spider Mine and was once a powerful adventurer suddenly spoke.
"Your Mightiness."
"We can go deep into the spider mines and lure out those spider monsters from deep inside."
"Let these monsters intercept them."
"Over the years, there are probably hundreds of thousands of spider monsters in the spider mine."
"If a beast tide is formed."
"Don't even mention a mere 7,000 knights."
"Even if there were 100,000 border knights, they would be overwhelmed by the spider beasts."
Hear this advice.
The shadow warlock's eyes suddenly lit up.
"My boy, this suggestion is really good."
"Kill with a borrowed knife."
"Not only can it minimize our losses, but it can also easily annihilate the enemy."
"You know where the monster spider is."
"You know, if we all left."
"The Border Knights will soon reach the Spider Mine."
"Do not worry."
The dragon knight patted his chest.
"Back then, I was awarded the title of Adventure King."
"And if you want to get the Adventure King, you have to go to the Spider Mine and find a spider egg of the Spider King."
"Entering the Spider Mine is as easy as going home for me."
These words made the Shadow Warlock look sideways.
“I didn’t expect there was such talent.”
"Somebody come!"
"Yes, go tell Melissa about this plan."
"We entered the Spider Mine ahead of time."
"Draw out the monster spiders and form a beast tide."
"Intercept the Border Knights."
"As ordered!"
The dragon knight soared into the air and disappeared in the air in an instant.
Melissa received the news immediately afterwards.
"what?"
"Spider monsters, form a beast tide to intercept!!!"
Looking at the dragon knight who had disappeared in the distance.
Melissa had a bad feeling.
However, facing the Shadow Warlock's decision, even Melissa, with her status as commander, could not help but question the decision.
There is still no way to intervene.
"In order to avoid unnecessary complications."
“They must be dealt with as soon as possible.”
Melissa looked at the border knight.
The two sides are already very close.
After saying this, Melissa raised her lance.
The border knights are now like lost dogs.
Even Melissa's cavalry was tired.
But relying on the advantage in numbers.
These defeated border knights were nothing in her eyes.
This time.
Melissa is going all out.
"Give me the order."
"Forward 8000, remove your heavy armor immediately."
"Light pursuit!!!"
"Hold them and don't let them escape."
"The cavalry on the right wing have rested enough. They should also take off their armor and abandon their baggage."
"Only a knight's sword."
"Go around and try to block them."
“The main force is close behind.”
"Yes!"
Melissa's tactics were correct.
The Border Knights first fought several battles and then were chased by the Dragon Knights for so long that they were already at the end of their strength.
They had no power to resist the lightly armed cavalry that was chasing them.
Good thing!
The Spider Valley is right before our eyes.
Most of the border knights have already rushed in.
Melissa, who followed closely behind, did not hesitate.
They led their troops and rushed in together.
Next up was Melissa’s main army.
"Leave some people behind to guard the entrance to the valley."
Melissa was defeated several times.
Become extremely cautious.
Even now victory is in sight.
There is no relaxation at all.
When some knights were left behind to guard the mountain pass.
The cavalry on both wings, armed only with knight swords, rushed to the flanks of the border knights first.
Soon, a part of the border knights were stopped.
In a moment, he was killed by these cavalrymen armed with knightly swords.
Because it's too easy to kill.
When Melissa saw this, she felt it was not real.
Just when this thought came to mind.
Guderian swung his lance violently, and the cavalry behind him rushed forward and killed all these lightly armored cavalry.
But when he did this.
The cavalry who were originally fleeing had to stop at this time.
Melissa is strong.
There was already a look of surprise on his face.
"Good good."
"It seems you are not going to run away."
"So!"
"Here is where you will be buried."
Looking at Guderian standing with his back to the battle.
Melissa's eyes began to show excitement of upcoming victory.
The words fell.
Heidi, who had been lurking at the entrance of the valley, slowly stood up and swayed in the direction of Guderian.
The dragon knight suddenly rushed into the depths of the mine, disrupting their plans.
And Guderian's exhaustion was beyond her expectations.
Now the entire battlefield is in chaos.
Good thing!
Melissa's cavalry corps has entered the valley.
At this time, Heidi naturally made Guderian's safety her top priority.
Her standing up also sent a signal to the three thousand lurking spies.
Get ready to take action!
At this time, Guderian, who was surrounded by Melissa, also saw Heidi standing up on the hill in the distance.
He spoke slowly.
"Yes, there is only one person who can survive here."
"But this person is not you."
"It's me!!!"
Melissa didn't expect that Guderian would still have such confidence when he was about to die.
It was a pity that he was not the first Saint Son to fight Fang Yuan.
Otherwise he should know.
When he thought he had won.
That is when you are about to die.
"Humph!"
"My main cavalry controls the entrance."
"Tens of thousands of cavalry surrounded you."
"Deep in the Spider Mine, there are hundreds of Dragon Knights!!!"
"In this situation, you tell me how to lose?"
Melissa's voice was calm, her tone full of confidence.
Guderian raised his head and looked in the direction of Heidi.
Then he shouted loudly.
"Not now."
"How long do we have to wait!!!" (End of this chapter)
