Although the Kuite troops were bitten by the Nilfgaard people, they were still able to maintain a tight formation and slowly retreat.
But that was the end of it. There was really no room left to dispatch spearmen to fight against the armored cavalry.
Even if there were only twenty riders, this charge would be enough to disrupt the formation that an Craite Clan had worked so hard to maintain.
The Drummond troops on the opposite side obviously realized that they would rather disrupt their formation and let the soldiers rush to support them.
However, judging from the distance between the two sides and the speed of the troops, it was obvious that Drummond's troops were too late to rescue them.
But at this moment, Crach heard a reliable voice that reassured him.
"Master Crach, the troops continue to evacuate, leave those cavalry to me."
Lynn, who was in the crowd, killed the approaching Nilfgaard person with one sword, and his gloved left hand outlined the gesture of Signs.
"Axii."
The three horses at the front of the menacing Branden Cavalry suddenly seemed to have their brains shut down, and the horses stumbled in unison.
Since the front and both wings of Kuite's troops were besieged by Nilfgaard's infantry troops, Branden Cavalry adopted a wedge-shaped charge formation instead of a wall charge.
The result was that when the three cavalrymen who were the arrows fell down, a chain reaction was triggered. The cavalrymen following them were tripped one after another, and the formation was instantly disrupted.
Even if the remaining cavalry were not involved because they were on both sides of the wedge formation, it would still be impossible for them to charge again.
The morale of Quite's troops and the Drummond troops who came to support them was greatly boosted, but the morale of the Nilfgaard people dropped due to this.
"It's magic."
"There is a warlock among the enemies?"
Exclamations came one after another, and the Nilfgaard people who besieged Kuite's troops were hesitant. The offensive no longer had the same wave after wave as before.
Earl Tulius, who was on the flagship deck in the distance, couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw this scene.
"Did the Druid take action?"
Earl Tulius is well-informed, and his vision and knowledge are naturally different from those of ordinary soldiers.
He knew that among the major families in the archipelago, there were no warlocks to assist them, but druids instead.
Moreover, the druids of the islands are different from the warlocks of Northern Kingdoms.
Northern Kingdoms's magicians hold important positions in the courts of various countries, but they are not the king's subordinates and will not obey all the king's orders.
In particular, they will refuse orders to participate in war.
However, the Druids will intervene in the war between the islands and foreign enemies when necessary.
That's the difference.
Earl Tulius didn't consider it as a witcher, because most of the witchers were active in the north, and School of the Viper, whose only base camp was in the south, would not release Signs's muggles.
Even when the usurper emperor sent troops to destroy the School of the Viper base camp, he just thought that demon hunters were only good at assassination.
Of course there is no way of knowing, but in fact, witchers also have the ability to cast spells.
Besides, even if he knew, he wouldn't believe that it was the demon hunter who could cause all this.
Because it can release Signs that targets three targets at the same time, it is completely beyond the capabilities of most demon hunters.
Lynn prevented the cavalry from blocking it, and the Kuite troops finally successfully merged with Drummond's troops.
Drummond's troops divided into two teams, bypassed the two wings of Quite's troops, and continued to fight with the Nilfgaard people in place of Quite's troops.
The tired Quite troops passed through the middle of Drummond's troops and retreated into the fence first.
The archers who retreated behind the fence first climbed onto the arrow tower behind the fence, spreading death to Nilfgaard's rear military formation.
Lynn, who withdrew with Kuite's troops, also climbed onto an arrow tower, took out the Kovir longbow from the magic pattern leather bag, and unleashed a hail of arrows.
His shooting speed is much faster than that of ordinary archers. Often when others shoot one arrow, he has already shot several arrows, and his accuracy is astonishing. He can always penetrate shields and armor, killing Nilfgaard people to the maximum extent.
However, he does not deliberately pursue killing with one shot. If he fails to kill with one arrow, he will not use the last hit.
This is of course not because he is soft-hearted or unwilling to take action, but because the screams of the enemy's wounded soldiers can weaken the enemy's morale.
It would be better if the enemy sent people to drag the wounded soldiers down. One wounded soldier would at least tie down several enemy manpower.
"Ternacian!"
Berger was startled and looked at his companion who fell to the ground, with an arrow in his neck and empty eyes. He was obviously dead.
Although only people from the capital who were born in City of Golden Towers could hold important positions in the military, the empire never forgot to give some priority to people from the provinces.
For example, when a baby needs to be filled in, the empire will give priority to provincial people.
However, in order to prevent mutiny, the conscripted provincials were usually disrupted.
Berger and Ternacian, who grew up together since childhood, were lucky enough to serve in the same army.
But now, the childhood playmate fell to the ground like mud, leaving Berger feeling like his mind went blank. He couldn't believe that he died in a foreign country like this.
"Berger, you dirty and despicable provincial, don't embarrass Nilfgaard Army! Come on!"
There were shouts from other people beside him, and Berger woke up as if from a dream.
Having passed the recruit training, he knew that Nilfgaard Army's military management was strict. If he continued to stay in place, or even showed the slightest hint of being a deserter, not only would he be executed, but his relatives far south would also be implicated.
Thinking of this, Berger shouted and followed the others, rushing towards the enemy in front.
With the support of Drummond's troops, the Quite troops finally retreated behind the fence to regroup and rest, and then Drummond's troops also began to retreat.
"Madman"Lugos personally led a dozen elite soldiers to cut off the rear, allowing most of Clan Drummond's soldiers to pass through the planks erected on the trench in front of the fence.
Finally, all other planks were removed, leaving only one plank.
Gerd took off the two tied together from his waist, Lynn gave him Superior Dancing Star and Superior Dragon's Dream Bomb in advance.
Dragon's Dream will leak gas, and the flame generated when Dancing Star explodes can both ignite the gas and fuel the fire.
Gerd kills a Nilfgaard soldier closest to him with one sword, and then throws it towards the place where the enemy soldiers are most concentrated.
The next moment, the flames burst out and instantly engulfed the figures of dozens of Nilfgaard soldiers around them.
The scene of screams and misery was chilling.
Gerd gained strength and killed several more enemy soldiers. While the enemies nearby were frightened, he shouted to "Madman" Lugos.
"It's now, Master Lugos, leave quickly!"
"Madman" Lugos did not dare to delay and hurriedly led the remaining men through the only wooden plank.
