Chapter 569 - Knight Formation
Chapter 569 Knight Formation
Since they often fought alongside wizards, head commander Bodley knew how powerful a Fire Enchantment was.
Abel was only a beginner wizard, but Fire Enchantment was an intermediate spell. This meant that it would take up Abel twice as much mana since the spell was supported by the magic staff.
Although using Fire Enchantment to support the knights would add to Abel’s war glory, it was far less than Abel using a spell to kill an orc himself.
Abel Fire Enchantment could massively increase the power of the entire team. Although head commanders could use their attributed combat qi, they could not sustain it for long.
Therefore, head commanders would still use their normal attacks in a battle like this. However, with the Fire Enchantment, even their normal attacks would fire attributed abilities.
“What magic staff is that?” K3308 asked with admiration. Although he was wearing a full body of magic gears, he did not have anything above his rank. Any intermediate magic gear was more valuable than beginner ones.
“It’s just a fire magic staff!” Abel replied. He was a little confused about why k3308 had asked a question like this. What was wrong with him?
Wizards would rarely ask other wizards about their gears or attributes. This was because a Wizard’s gear was part of their abilities. It should be kept as a secret. Sometimes, they would not even tell their best friends.
K3305 saw that k3308 was about to keep asking, so he quickly interrupted “k3516, you have a lot of mana huh?”
“Its nothing. I only have this!” Abel put away his Leaf Magic staff and took out his Harry Bow again.
Originally the Harry’s Bow didn’t mean much to Abel anymore, but since he had gotten the sight and analyzing power of the piece of world stone, he could unleash Harry’s bow potential to the max.
It was just like when he was fighting Drillmaster Layard; his sight and analyzing power allowed him to spot every little loophole in his enemy’s movements, letting him kill with each blow.
“I’ll tell you how this will end. They will beg for my mercy, but I will deny them. My wildness is the best testimony!” Head Commander Bodley grunted, and the entire team began to get excited. The warhorses also neighed along with his voice.
The knight formation accelerated straight towards the line of wolf riders when they were 800 meters away.
All the wolf riders had dropped the wood they were carrying. They didn’t even start building yet. If they had a camp, the battle would be much easier. Also, since their sky eye had been killed, their entire plan had been disturbed.
“Spread out!” The ruling wolf rider captain yelled.
Immediately, every wolf rider captain began leading a team of wolf riders. A team of 6 wolf rider captains was responsible for protecting the 10 deities.
All of a sudden, 1000 wolf riders divided themselves into 10 groups and scattered, each following their leader. They could avoid the knights’ charging by doing this. At that moment, the mount wolves were at full power.
Abel didn’t know the spell range of deities, but he thought they would be at around the same range as wizards. The most powerful deities shouldn’t have a range of more than 100 meters.
His Harry’s bow could shoot more than 200 meters, which was twice as far as the deities.
Abel had his gaze fixed on a particular deity with a Bone Armour spell. 3 shields made up of bones surrounded that deity. Although to other people, the bone shields might seem quite far apart, Abel could see that they were dancing in mid air, forming a force field.
No matter which angle he attacked the deity, the strike would be blocked by those shields until it scattered.
Of course, Abel had calculated this in a flash of a moment, so he quickly shifted his attention to a wolf rider.
The horseback deer under Abel was trained to correspond to the knight formation. It moved perfectly even without his control. It didn’t care that he was a newbie at all.
Abel saw those wolf riders were moving quick, so he grew desperate. There was no way this horseback deer could catch up, so he asked, “K3305, do we have anything faster?”
“Don’t worry. Humans are known for our formation and gears!”k3305 replied gently.
Abel noticed the knights were approaching the team of 100 protecting the deities. Normally the wolf riders could drag out their distance with the human with their speed, but this team had 10 deities dragging them down.
Although the knight’s war horses were not as good as Mount wolves. They had always been living with humans and were nourished by the knights’ combat qi. They could go neck to neck with a mount wolf in a short distance. They were just not as flexible.
Most importantly, the knights had their Knight’s charging formation. It was the scariest formation in the entire Holy Continent. It could further accelerate war horses for a short period of time. Once it was unleashed, almost no force in the world could stop them.
Abel had never experienced being in a knight formation before, so he lowered his Harry’s bow and watched.
The team of 100 wolf riders suddenly changed their direction and speed towards the left of the knights. The wolf riders all held up their bows, and large amounts of arrows flew towards the knight formation.
“Block!” Head Commander Bodley’s voice was enchanted by combat qi, so everyone could hear him clearly, despite the screams and shouts.
The knights in the left wing held up their shields in unison, and a white glow of combat qi shot up. This glow from their shields began to gather into a giant shield, blocking all the incoming arrows.
By that point, the knights were 50 meters from those wolf riders, but the wolf riders took a turn again. They knew they could only distract the human knight formation, not attack it directly.
“Left, 3 turn!” Head Commander Bodley yelled.
All the knights on the left had their right hand weapons secured on their saddle, so they all quickly took out a short spear. Afterward, a white steam of combat qi rushed towards the team of 100 wolf riders.
While the spears flew out with combat qi, Abel noticed they were all made out of iron. They were all made by dwarfs, and it was filled with armor piercing patterns.
Just as expected, the team of 100 wolf riders all began to grunt and unleashed their own combat qi. But still, not all of them could block this spear attack. 8 wolf riders dropped dead.
The spear attack did not stop. The next rounds followed, disrupting the 100 wolf riders’ formation.
As the knights on the left wing were attacking, the knight formation began to shift. With a little turn, the knights on the left wing shifted forward right after their speed attacks.
“Glory life!” Head Commander Bodley yelled.
Afterward, all the other knights yelled as well “glory life!”
Abel felt a huge driving force pushing, or more wrapping his horseback deer forward towards the team of 20 men down wolf riders.
With the knights on the left wing as a blade, all the knights took out their long spears again with flashing combat qi. All of a sudden, all the knight’s combat qi gathered. Their formation had shifted, and now they were ready to charge.
