Chapter 1084: Chapter 664: Unexpected Strong Enemy (Part 1)_2 Chapter 1084: Chapter 664: Unexpected Strong Enemy (Part 1)_2 “Compared to the light cavalry, the plate armor on the assault cavalry is indeed thicker, but it’s no match for the lances. And their narrow teardrop shields are intended for fighting infantry and blocking arrows, not for defending against the impact of lances.”
Witnessing this scene that obviously defied common sense, Leo Ray rubbed his eyes, and pondered: “Besides, considering their roles in close combat, the lances of the assault cavalry are typically shorter than those of the light cavalry… No matter how you think about it, they shouldn’t have such a crushing advantage.”
In his confusion, Leo Ray glanced at Burt and Joshua beside him, only to find that they, too, were puzzled and seemingly unable to comprehend the situation before them.
From the overall energy fluctuations emitted by the two camps, there seed to be almost no difference, so it could not be attributed to a disparity in strength.
“What on earth is going on? What kind of technique did the White Knight employ to achieve such a miraculous effect?”
Watching the vicious assault cavalry effortlessly breaking through the enemy’s ranks, the confusion on Leo Ray’s face beca more apparent.
“My Lord, I’m sensing a very familiar energy fluctuation!”
Olivia, who still looked a bit weary, approached and exclaid in astonishnt.
“Why haven’t you gone to rest yet?”
Realizing that Olivia, along with Serena and Stella, were still behind him, Leo Ray was equally surprised.
“I wanted to watch the battle alongside My Lord. Since My Lord is still working hard for our territory, how can I go back and rest?”
Olivia giggled shyly, then quickly regained her composure: “Anyway, My Lord, that very familiar energy fluctuation is coming from my teacher!”
“Your teacher? Coldfla’s Illusion Master Brocade Winthrop?”
Upon hearing this unexpected piece of information, Leo Ray couldn’t help but pause.
Leo Ray had already conducted a thorough investigation of Coldfla’s number one illusionist.
This man’s strength was at the Tier 4 eight-Star level, and he was recruited by the Coldfla Royal Family as a court illusionist over a decade ago.
According to Ariel Watson, due to his unrestrained personality, he would only stay in the Royal Capital for a short period each year to complete so tasks assigned by the Royal Family, fulfilling his obligations as a court illusionist.
For most of his ti, he was roaming the four corners of the world, often showing up in wilderness ruins.
“I didn’t expect Illusion Master Brocade Winthrop to appear in the camp of the Great Prince. I assu he was brought as a trump card, along with the White Knight, right?”
Looking enlightened, Leo Ray murmured to himself: “Since energy fluctuations of the Illusion Master have appeared on the battlefield, this miraculous situation can be easily explained. It must be the result of his use of a group illusion, I suppose? The true identities of those assault cavalry are most likely heavy cavalry, then.”
“Exactly, My Lord.”
Olivia nodded in affirmation and responded: “My teacher’s research on illusions is even more in-depth than that of the Illusion Realm, and the energy flow on the battlefield is inherently chaotic. Thus, it’s not impossible to conceal the truth perfectly.”
“I see.”
Leo Ray stroked his chin, nodding thoughtfully.
As Olivia had said, the chaotic energy flow on such a large battlefield severely limited the perception of the powerful.
Moreover, he and his subordinates were positioned at the top of a hill, quite far away from the battlefield below.
It was therefore not surprising that even Taylor and Red Night, who had the sharpest sense of perception around him, had failed to detect anything out of the ordinary.
“However, this is after all the result of a combination of many complex factors. If the distance was slightly shorter, or under ordinary circumstances, Taylor and Red Night’s keen perception would still easily uncover what is going on. After all, the strength of this Illusion Master, no matter how powerful, has not reached the Tier 5 level.”
Feeling slightly reassured, a sense of gravity appeared on Leo Ray’s face once more.
Regardless, the fact that there was a powerful illusionist hiding in one of his enemy’s camps would inevitably be a very troubleso matter.Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this.
The First Prince’s cavalry, like a bamboo-splitting force, had completely penetrated the opponent’s formation.
Because there was a distance from the central army.
Therefore, those unstoppable “Assault Cavalry” soldiers were surrounded by colorful magic ripples like water waves.
Imdiately after, what appeared before everyone was a group of heavy cavalry wearing heavy armor, even their horses covered in tightly wrapped armor!
On the armor of these heavy cavalry, there were traces of their opponents’ blood, and many had discarded their lances after repeatedly penetrating their opponents, drawing their heavy swords at their waists instead.
The “Heavy Cavalry” deployed in the middle, almost unhard, revealed their original appearance as assault cavalry.
“It’s the effect of illusion magic, isn’t it?”
Watching this magical transformation on the battlefield, Burt pondered in amazent, “It seems that the White Knight has preempted the opponent’s judgnt and deployed the heavy infantry, which had been subjected to group illusions, on both sides of the team in advance.”
“Things are getting more and more interesting.”
Leo Ray took a slow deep breath of the increasingly bloody air, focusing his ever hotter gaze on the battlefield below.
The heavy cavalry that had penetrated the opposition and the almost unhard assault cavalry had already turned their horses around, shouting war cries and launching a second charge against the disordered Second Prince’s front army and left-wing light cavalry.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Second Prince’s right-wing cavalry, which had been stopped by the marsh, had been almost wiped out under the fierce attack from the First Prince’s left and right-wing cavalry.
At this point, the situation on the battlefield was quite clear.
Although at the beginning of the battle, the Second Prince’s forces took the lead and gained a significant advantage.
But, after having suffered from the White Knight’s marsh and illusions, two consecutive tactics.
The ten thousand light cavalry of the Second Prince, originally prepared to launch an all-out attack, were now like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with only ti standing between them and complete annihilation.
Looking at the chaotic Second Prince’s cavalry troops in the center of the battlefield and the twisted corpses everywhere, Leo Ray took a deep breath.
Fortunately, these were the opponent’s forces; if his own soldiers had suffered such a heavy blow, the hope of victory would beco increasingly slim.
“That being said, forcing both sides to use these hidden cards is undoubtedly a fortunate thing for ; otherwise, it could very well be my own soldiers falling.”
Looking at the fierce fighting between these two noble forces on the battlefield below, Leo Ray fell into contemplation, “Now, the balance of victory has completely tilted in favor of the First Prince’s forces led by the White Knight.”
“On the other hand, the Second Prince’s forces, led by the mysterious commander, still have ten thousand cavalry and the remaining forces in the camp. If they retreat now, those in the muddy terrain and the residual forces in the camp will definitely be annihilated by the White Knight.”
“It’s not hard to see that although the mysterious commander leading the Second Prince’s forces has been defeated, he must be planning so counterasure, right?”
Thinking about this, curiosity appeared in Leo Ray’s eyes as he said leisurely, “I wonder what kind of hidden card the mysterious commander of the Second Prince can play? It’s really quite intriguing.”
At this mont, Leo Ray was well aware.
As he had thought, the more severe the confrontation between these two parties, the more advantageous it was for him.
Moreover, the more hidden cards both sides revealed, the better it would be for him.
“Let’s see what actions the mysterious commander of the Second Prince will take under such unfavorable circumstances.”
Leo Ray squinted, staring closely at the increasingly intense battlefield at the foot of the mountain.
