Chapter 240 Instructions
After a long time.
Earl Merlin moved his eyes away from the smoothed sand table and looked at Grand Duke Kunstan who was smoking a Bailu Yulong cigar in boredom.
"We can't afford to lose. This battle is related to the survival of the Grand Duchy. Even if His Highness Yingyan is full of confidence, we still can't take it lightly." Earl Merlin covered his gray temples with his hands and said casually.
Grand Duke Kunstan was surprised for a moment, then responded: "We have made all preparations, and we will win this battle!"
"I know what you rely on, but this reliance is like poison wrapped in sugar, delicious but not pleasant..."
"Listen, Earl Merlin." Grand Duke Kunstan interrupted Earl Merlin rudely, "I don't want to continue arguing. In any case, I don't want to deprive you of your command, but you must also understand that you are no longer the chief executive!"
Earl Merlin was calm: "I understand."
"I respect you and give you enough preferential treatment. I also hope that you can respect me as a grand duke." Grand Duke Kunstan stared at Earl Merlin and tried his best to suppress his breathing.
"Respect the old man?" Earl Merlin chuckled, but did not dwell on it. "I will respect you, Your Highness, just like I respect the former grand duke."
Grand Duke Kunstan snorted coldly: "It's the best!"
In the headquarters tent, there was a long silence again. An old man and a young man smoked cigars silently, thinking about their own thoughts.
Seeing that the cigar was half burned.
Grand Duke Kunstan finally ran out of patience and asked, "I hope to be on the battlefield, even if I am among the Dragonblood Knights."
"Why bother? Knights fight to achieve success, but you don't need them." Earl Merlin said.
Grand Duke Kunstan insisted, "I want to be with the knights."
Earl Merlin wanted to persuade him again.
Grand Duke Kunstan said directly, "Didn't you do that during your reign? You told me that my grandfather, the dragon knight Quentin III Shadow Flame, was also a knight who led the way and fought for the first place in every battle!"
He squeezed his fingers holding the cigar hard, and the front half of the cigar ash broke off directly: "I want to inherit my grandfather's will. Only in this way can I get the recognition of His Excellency Shadow Flame!"
"Heh." Earl Merlin chuckled with an unclear meaning.
He wanted to tell Grand Duke Kunstan the truth. The reason why his grandfather led the way was because he was a fantasy beast knight and a flying dragon knight very early, and finally became a dragon knight. He had the ability to lead the way.
But Grand Duke Kunstan himself has remained a "virgin" so far. He has neither contracted a phantom beast nor been recognized by a wyvern.
Why is he so naive to think that he can be recognized by the Shadow Flame Dragon by leading the way?
Is it because of poor eyesight? Can't the Shadow Flame Dragon really see such big white eyes?
Unfortunately, he couldn't say such words. If he said more, he would really become enemies. So Earl Merlin sighed and finally nodded and agreed: "You are the Grand Duke. I have already retired. I can't stop you if you want to fight."
"Very good!" Grand Duke Kunstan smiled and walked out of the headquarters tent without looking back.
...
Charge!
Endless charge!
The resonance of the legion made the fighting spirit in each knight's body boil like a steamer, echoing and resonating with each other, forming a huge whole, constantly improving the combat effectiveness of each knight, and condensing them into a rope.
Russell is no longer a recruit. He has long adapted to the fighting style of the Knights, and now he has been promoted to a phantom beast knight.
The energy in his body was mellow and long-lasting, and he was not afraid of the sequelae of exhaustion after being engulfed by the resonance of the legion.
"Polly, are you afraid?"
"No, Russell, we can use the Phantom Dream Escape Technique at any time." Pauly communicated calmly in her mind.
Russell smiled and responded in his mind: "Yes, we have proved that the power of the snow giant Da cannot suppress the Phantom Dream Escape Technique, and the power of the Shadow Flame Dragon cannot suppress the Phantom Dream Escape Technique either."
If not, Russell would not step into the battlefield so happily. He cares about his own safety more than anyone else.
"And the facts also prove that Ice Cream is just young and cannot compete with the Shadow Flame Dragon. When it grows up, its dream power will definitely exceed the power of the Shadow Flame Dragon... Ice Cream is a more powerful dragon, and I want to create my own country. How can I be trapped here!"
For a while, Russell was full of ambition.
He just wanted to get through this battle, and then slowly develop it, and accompany the little dream dragon to the peak of life.
"Chirp!"
The cry of the clay dragon Ross came from the sky.
In the distance, there were cries of other wyverns, responding to each other and weaving into a symphony of dragon roars.
Russell turned his head and looked over. The heavy snow was flying, which greatly blocked the view of the entire battlefield, but he could vaguely see that there were more than a dozen wyverns circling and flying in the sky, fighting in coordination with the Knights.
"Command, scatter arrow formation!"
"Command, scatter arrow formation!"
"Command, scatter arrow formation!"
The Knights' Commander's order, accompanied by the knights' relay roars, quickly spread from the front of the team to the end of the team.
Eric also roared loudly: "Command, scatter arrow formation!"
Boom!
The more than 30 knights in the support formation quickly separated to the left and right. Eric led one team to the left, and Russell led one team to the right.
Instantly, the entire Knights of the Glowing Valley switched to the left and right, and then cut into the snow demon army in front like a scalpel. The knights thrust their spears forward, picking up the iron-skinned snow ghosts one by one.
With just one charge, the group of snow ghosts that had originally gathered together was cut into three.
"Command, turn around, sharp arrow formation!"
"Command, turn around, sharp arrow formation!"
"Command..."
After the Knights broke through the group of snow ghosts, new orders had been passed. The two groups quickly made a big circle, turned 360 degrees and merged into one, charging again with the knight formation of the sharp arrow formation.
While the group of snow ghosts that had been cut into three pieces had not had time to gather together, they went straight into the group of snow ghosts on the left.
The knights in the front team thrust their spears and stabbed the snow ghosts, knocking them down; the knights in the middle drew their swords and swung them, cutting the snow ghosts into pieces with flying swords; then the knights in the back team crushed the snow ghosts' heads and quickly took away the ice hail beads.
Russell was also one of the team that took out the ice hail beads. His swordsmanship was fast and accurate, and Baoli's wind-walking technique was free and easy. It can be said that the ice hail beads taken out by one person were better than those taken out by the entire support formation.
One by one, the ice hail beads, like glass marbles, fell into the bag on his waist, making a jingling sound.
"Instructions, the four teams in front, back, left and right spread out to fight the snow demons!"
"Instructions, front, back, left and right..."
The battlefield was barely cleaned up, and the instructions from Baron Roman in front were passed on.
Russell tightened the mouth of the bag and quickly joined the support formation, but he did not charge at the snow demons in the snow ghost group, but rushed to the scattered snow demons to prevent the snow demons from joining together and interfering with the battle between the four teams in front, back, left and right and the snow demons.
"Poke, poke hard, Baoli!" Russell touched Baoli's mane, while hunting snow demons wantonly, and comforted himself softly, "We are not greedy, and the snow demons will be killed by others!"
Having said that.
But in Russell's heart, it is inevitable that he is eager to try.
Although he and Xiao Menglong have hunted many snow demons together, they have never fought against a snow demon head-on in reality, which is a pity.
"There will be a chance..."
