Vendathir's combat power is indeed terrifying. Faced with the siege of more than twenty Xingar enchantresss, not only was she not injured, but she actually killed several of them in just a few seconds!
She kept moving quickly to dodge left and right, using the shield in her hand to cover the low. She rarely took the initiative to attack, and only thrust out a sword after each successful block.
Her swordsmanship looks very strange. The Noldo Rune Sword in her hand is always stabbing, with few chopping movements, and no fancy moves. But every time she takes a shot, a witch falls down.
Moreover, the direction of each stabbing was not the direction she was facing - almost every sword struck in the east and west.
The shield in her hand was not held in front of her, but kept tilted sideways. It seemed that the position she held was a little high. But in fact, her body's center of gravity was lowered, and the shield protected her entire head and face.
And her sight was always hidden in the shield, so the enemy definitely didn't know where she was looking.
This posture seemed strange, but the actual combat effect was extraordinary. More than twenty temptresses did not harm her at all.
And at this time, she had already stabbed half of the more than twenty temptresses to death.
The remaining temptresses knew that they were no match for Vendathir, so they gave up the siege and dispersed to the outside.
On the outer battlefield, the enemies had formed a semicircle and formed a shield array to surround them. The rangers had begun to retreat while firing arrows to suppress them.
But at this time, a cavalry galloped from behind these young rangers!
--This was indeed an ambush designed by Fruuz Slaver Group. The camp was a bait, and those temptresses pretending to be girl rangers were also bait.
Now they saw two hundred young Noldo Ranger, and half of them were Noldo maidens. It should be that all the ambush troops had been dispatched.
If this cavalry of more than 300 people breaks into the ranger array, and the surrounding Xingar spearmen and temptresses swarm them, their numerical advantage will be magnified in the melee, and they will probably be able to capture many more girl rangers.
The Xingar riders who were speeding over had greedy eyes in their eyes, and they all smiled ferociously, as if they were imagining the life of being a rich man in the future...
But just when the cavalry started to accelerate, a loud arrow shot into the sky.
Afterwards, two troops were killed from both sides of the battlefield - Isildur's Noldor warriors stood up from the grove to the south, while Li Ang's soldiers stood up from the bushes on the hillside where Li Ang was hiding.
Isildur himself was also in Li Ang's army. His Noldor warriors were led by three Twilight Knight. They divided into three teams in a rapid charge and appeared behind the Xingar encirclement. They formed a front and rear pincer attack with the young rangers.
The Noldor warriors did not rush into the enemy formation, but stood dozens of meters behind the enemy, and then quickly threw their bows and arrows.
As for Li Ang and Isildur, while the cavalry formed a formation and charged at speed, they led their troops behind the young rangers under Vendathir and faced the cavalry charging over three hundred meters away.
The situation on the battlefield has reversed again.
"Her skills are really impressive... if she knows we are using her as bait later, will she beat me up?"
Li Ang saw that the cavalry had not yet entered the shooting range, so he asked Isildur next to him.
"It's hard to tell, she has never had a good temper..."
Isildur took off the bow, put an arrow on it, and curled his lips.
"Um? If she attacks me later, can you protect me?"
The lord turned his head and took a look from afar. Vendathir was running towards this direction.
"My swordsmanship is far inferior to hers... Anyway, this counter-ambush plan was made by you, it's none of my business..."
Isildur shrugged regretfully, looking like an irresponsible scumbag.
Li Ang rolled his eyes and said with a sad face, "Isildur, Your Highness, you can't harm your comrades like this..."
When they made the final plan, they did not tell Vendathir-because Vendathir would not obey anyone's orders.
When Risadiran first discovered the enemy's location, Li Ang thought there might be an ambush, so he kept his troops far away and hid in the woods without getting closer.
But Vendathir didn't trust the lord yet. After seeing the enemy, this lady felt that she shouldn't waste time and planned to attack directly. This straightforward woman heard from Risadiran that there seemed to be a few girls in the enemy's camp, so she was probably too anxious and impatient.
Li Ang originally planned to persuade, but Isildur obviously knew Vendathir very well, so he signaled Li Ang not to try, in order to avoid being beaten...
Then Isildur suggested to get closer for reconnaissance before taking action, and then quietly discussed countermeasures with Li Ang alone - His Highness is not a reckless man.
So the lord took Vendathir with him to investigate closely, but Vendathir's attitude was still to directly launch a surprise attack - in this case, we had to let her go, and Li Ang and Isildur would handle the rest.
"Archers come forward! Hold still!"
This is the voice of Li Ang.
"Covering fire! Infantry on standby!"
At this time, more than three hundred Xingar riders had already entered the 100-meter sprint distance, and some of the Xingar riders at the front were already holding lances and planning to charge into the formation.
"Ladies, turn back and obey Lord Li Ang's orders for now!"
Isildur obeyed the instructions of Li Ang at this time - His Highness obviously understood that there can only be one voice on the battlefield.
So he asked all the female rangers to turn around and face the direction of the cavalry, and follow Li Ang's command.
Then he led the female rangers and started shooting arrows continuously.
Isildur's archery skills are probably among the best in the entire continent. He is almost using a very casual posture to continuously draw the bow, and the shooting speed is extremely fast - it feels like he has no aim at all, but after every arrow, an enemy will inevitably fall.
The archers and rangers released two rounds of arrows. Under the covering fire, about forty riders fell off their horses. The horses without their owners were wandering around in the battlefield, blocking the progress of some Xingar riders in the back row.
"Free fire! Infantry on standby!"
More than a hundred enemies in the front row were still charging at high speed, the sound of horse hooves rumbled, and the ground could already feel the vibrations, but Li Ang still shouted for the infantry not to move.
Only the archers and Noldo Rangers were shooting at the enemies in the front row, causing another twenty casualties in the short distance where the enemies charged.
"Archers, stand back! Stand up your shield! Raise your spear!"
It wasn't until the enemy was only a few dozen meters away that Li Ang gave the final order.
The archers gave up their positions in the front row, and the infantry stepped forward, thrust their large shields into the ground, and pointed their spears at the cavalry diagonally.
When the guns were set up, the Xingar rider was less than thirty meters away from this not-so-large front line.
At this distance, the horror and despair in the eyes of the riders in the front row were extremely clear...
The Xingar riders must have been feeling very sad during this thirty-meter-long final stretch of life - if they had known that a long conflict formation of the human army would appear here, they would certainly not have rushed over like this...
But now, no matter whether the riders are willing or not, their speed has reached the highest level, and the distance is only thirty meters. No matter how good the horsemanship is, they can't stop the horse in this situation.
A few riders did try to slow down or turn, but in fact this was suicide - there were other cavalry behind and beside them, and as a result, rear-end collisions and horse collisions occurred continuously, which actually affected their formation.
In addition, Isildur led the rangers to shoot at high speed. In the end, only a few dozen riders rushed to the front of the formation, and only a dozen or so were able to rush into the formation side by side in the front row - and they did not have horse armor.
The cavalry finally roared in despair and took over the battle. Blood filled the air, the men fell on their backs, and the screams of the men and the neighing of the horses were heard together.
Fully sixty groups of large shields and spears stood in front of the formation. Most of the riders and their horses were stabbed through. It was only the impact of the horses that caused the infantry in the front row to pay the price of several injuries.
It wasn't until the cavalry from the back row rushed in that two enemies successfully broke through the shield formation and rushed into the formation. However, one of them was stabbed to death by Vendathir who just arrived, and the other had his head chopped off by Li Ang.
And Li Ang took advantage of this opportunity to get an uninjured horse Dexia Warhorse.
At this time, there were more and more corpses and ownerless horses on the battlefield. It was difficult for the Xingar riders to form an array and charge, and they all turned and circled.
It was impossible for them to rush into the formation, so they had to shoot at each other instead.
But Noldo Ranger's shooting skills are obviously much better than them, and they can still cause considerable damage to them even though they are hundreds of meters away.
The Dexia Bow of the Xingar riders was obviously not strong enough, and in this case the projectile effect was also very small. In order to make full use of the Dexia Bow in their hands, these Xingar riders got closer and began to accelerate in circles, seemingly to shoot from close range.
Seeing Vendathir looking at him with evil eyes, the lord mounted his horse and rushed out of the array.
He didn't really want to avoid Vendathir, but he wanted to reduce the losses of his own troops and friendly forces.
After getting the horse and holding the lance left by the Xingar rider, the lord's combat effectiveness may have increased several times.
For the Noldor, bows and arrows are the weapons that best exert their combat effectiveness.
But for Li Ang, he is the complete version on horseback.
As soon as he got on the horse, the lord raised the speed of the horse to the limit - this was actually very tiring, because a high-speed sprinting horse could only last for one minute.
But it doesn't matter, the lance can only last three seconds...
Anyway, there are horses and lances all over the place now, so there is no shortage of equipment at all.
But instead of confronting those Xingar riders, the lord rushed into the enemy's team from the side.
Yes, Li Ang is now just like sneaking into the team of Xingar riders who are riding and shooting in circles, but instead of chasing behind the team, they keep shuttling among the enemy team.
Holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, he is still the same as he was in the arena.
His purpose is not to kill the enemy - the Noldor's bows and arrows are more efficient at killing the enemy. His purpose is to disrupt the enemy's formation.
He was wandering around in the middle of the enemy team. The enemy would be hacked to death by him if they tried to use bows and arrows to mount and shoot, and shooting Li Ang would easily injure friendly troops by mistake - but the Noldos could still shoot the enemy because Li Ang was not on the side facing them, so there was no need to worry about inadvertent injury.
The enemy can't defeat Li Ang with lances or sabers. Attacking each other on horseback in this high-speed motion in the same direction is actually equivalent to a one-on-one duel and cannot form an encirclement.
What the lord is best at is single combat.
As a result, the riding path of hundreds of Xingar riders was disrupted by the lord alone. The neatly circling team of Xingar riders became chaotic and scattered. The only way to solve this problem in the team was to disperse.
After this breakup, the routes overlapped and hindered each other, and coupled with the ownerless horses running around on the battlefield, the riders gradually became unable to form a formation.
As more and more cavalry were shot to death, the Xingar riders finally collapsed, and the remaining dozens of riders turned around and fled far away.
The flight of the cavalry directly led to the complete collapse of Fruuz Slaver Group.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Xingar spearmen and temptresses faced a hail of arrows from both front and rear. Although it was difficult, their losses were not particularly heavy - both the spearmen and temptresses had metal round shields, and this large arc-shaped metal shield was quite effective in preventing arrows.
Moreover, they still had six to seven hundred people, and they were quickly retreating and rearranging their lineup, intending to rely on their local numerical advantage to counter-encircle the two hundred Noldor warriors who were attacking behind them.
If they can really execute it well, they may still not be able to turn defeat into victory, but at least they will have the ability to retreat while fighting - because after engaging in a melee with the Noldor who are surrounding them, the young rangers in the front cannot fire arrows at will.
However, the cavalry ran away at this time, so many Xingar spearmen also began to flee the battlefield.
On the contrary, those Xingar enchantress were more determined, but they could only hold on for a few more seconds - when the spearmen all started to run for their lives, the temptresses had no choice but to run away as well.
"Vendathir, you can pursue the enemy..."
The enemy had been completely defeated. Li Ang rode back to Vendathir and looked at the female hero who looked not so good.
"Lord Li Ang, are you using this method to let me see the cunning of human beings?"
Vendathir looked unhappy. "I admit that your judgment and tactics are correct, but the problem is, you didn't tell me!"
Li Ang turned around and glanced, Isildur was far away...
"Well, this is actually the idea of His Highness *** Dill... He said that your martial arts skills are rare in the world and can withstand any strong enemy. And your brave and strong character is as obvious as your beauty, which is enough to attract the enemy to you without any disguise. So we finally decided that you will face the enemy openly and openly, and I will carry out this cowardly ambush..."
Li Ang flattered Li Ang with a smile, and let Isildur take the blame - in fact it was Isildur who suggested it, but the final tactic was determined by Li Ang...
"I'm not stupid enough to distinguish between tactics and cowardice, Lord Li Ang! I saw your brave performance, and I also know that you are trying to prevent us from losing money, but I don't like to be kept in the dark... Hum, I will accept your command in the future, but I hope you can tell me all the arrangements!"
Vendathir said expressionlessly, she was not angry. It seems that praise is useful after all. No matter how old a woman is, she also likes others to praise her.
"Of course, it is my honor to have a comrade like you, Ms. Vendathir."
Li Ang nodded with a smile, and then pointed at the Noldo Rangers who had already started chasing. "Go and take care of them quickly, don't let them chase too far."
Facing the retreating enemy army, Vendathir and Isildur led their men to pursue the enemy.
Li Ang didn't give chase. He was inspecting the trophies and prisoners of war, and then discovered a troublesome situation - the captured Noldo maidens rangers were not here.
Most of the stolen Noldor equipment is not here either.
And the enemy's leader, Fruuz, is also not here!
A witch among the prisoners of war explained the situation.
Fruuz had already left from the west with a team of about twenty people a few hours ago.
This large force was arranged by Fruuz to stay here and try to see if any Noldor would chase them out.
If there are and there aren't too many of them, then set up an ambush and try to capture another group.
If there are too many Noldos and it's difficult to fight, just block them for a while and then run away - anyway, the Noldos don't dare to chase too far, this is already human territory.
This can at least delay time and ensure that Fruuz returns with the loot.
Li Ang's judgment of Fruuz is correct. It is indeed difficult to deal with a person with a nickname like "shameless".
It seems that Fruuz himself must be tracked down quickly. If Fruuz escapes to Xingar... trying to save people on the enemy's home field, it will be really troublesome.
But the problem is that Noldo Elves can no longer continue the pursuit.
Except for Li Ang, the other lords would probably start drooling and attack if they saw so many Noldo maidenss. Noldo maidens, a local product, has held its value better than gold in the past three hundred years. If you catch one, you can make a fortune!
And the captured girl ranger must be rescued immediately. If it's too late, something unexpected might happen. What if she is sold...
Fortunately, a lot of horses were obtained now, Li Ang quickly asked his cavalry to collect the horses.
Neither Vendathir nor Isildur pursued them too far. After killing most of the fleeing enemies, they returned to the vicinity of Shield Wind Fortress.
"Your Highness Isildur, I must fulfill my promise first, and then we will discuss how to cooperate with you when I come back."
Isildur nodded to express his understanding. He could not be as unconstrained as Vendathir. As the leader of the Aino Family, he had too many things to consider, and he could only take his time in everything.
"Ansen, go back and tell Amy to free up the temporary prison and let those Baxian do hard labor. By the way, tell those Baxian that if no one comes to redeem them, they will have to do hard labor for the rest of their lives!"
"Vendathir, I will let Ansen take your people back to White Deer Fortress. I have a cornfield behind White Deer Fortress. I will designate the nearby forest as your activity area. You will also be provided with a large camp in the city-- Of course, you don't mind if I tell the truth, it's actually a temporary prison I just built a few days ago... You go and stay first, and if you have any needs, just tell Ansen, and Ansen will help you complete the camp reconstruction. I will lead a team to rescue people - what I said will definitely be fulfilled."
The lord quickly explained the affairs, while Ansen stood beside him and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Lord Li Ang, if Risadiran can follow you, then of course I can too - I am his teacher."
Vendathir shook his head and said that he would go with him to save people.
"Then, you must promise to obey my instructions."
Li Ang stared into Vendathir's eyes. "And first of all, you have to dress yourself up like a human, otherwise you will attract countless coveted eyes."
Li Ang doesn't think that with Vendathir's personality, she can lurk in the shadows like Risadiran, but this kind of action does require her fighting power.
Vendathir hesitated for a second, then nodded. "I promise to listen to your arrangements, captain."
With such a master-level thug, the lord would certainly like her to be in the team all the time, but unfortunately, there was no prompt for her to join the team.
It seems that this master is just joining the team temporarily, and she will not easily become someone else's subordinate - maybe she will not be loyal to anyone.
Subsequently, Ansen took most of the troops and two hundred young Noldo Ranger from various ethnic groups to clean up the battlefield and returned to White Deer Fortress.
The lord, with about fifty cavalrymen, twenty of whom were new recruits, and all the horses left behind by the Xingar riders, pursued them westward at full speed.
