Chapter 1350: The Reversed Situation
"Reporting to the Lord, another grand army has arrived under the cover of night—the final force, the Dragonborn army!"
As Sean's words fell, Leo Ray and his companions noticed.
Behind the Flower Fairies, another glow of marching light lit up, coming from the direction of Dragon Armor City.
Judging by the speed, it would take less than five minutes for the Dragonborn army to reach the battlefield where the fierce battles were ongoing.
Seeing this scene, everyone opened their eyes wide, without a shred of relaxation.
As the last formidable force to appear, the Dragonborn army undoubtedly became the biggest variable on the battlefield.
If they have already allied with the Flower Fairies, both sides would be evenly matched again. If they choose to join with the other two, then the Flower Fairies are likely doomed.
Realizing this in their hearts, everyone at the Fortress shifted their focus back to the Flower Fairy army whose Absolute Defense Barrier had been breached.
Especially Crisis, her fair face was filled with intense tension. If their army were truly annihilated, the Flower Fairies would soon vanish from this land of the survival of the fittest.
At the focal point, the Flower Fairy army had clearly lost many soldiers after their Absolute Defense Barrier was broken. Their formation was thrown into chaos by magic explosions and a rain of arrows.
However, the soldiers of the Flower Fairies were evidently well-trained. They quickly reformed their lines and began swiftly moving towards a nearby mountain range to attempt to occupy advantageous terrain.
Due to the fast flying speed of the Flower Fairies, they were significantly ahead of the Troll army and Minotaur vanguard units, who were still covered by their respective Absolute Defense Barriers, hindering their movement further.
As for the Golem Puppets, including the giant oxen, their massive bodies also limited their speed. The remaining Giant Flower Knights hindered their advance further.
So it didn't take long for the nimble Flower Fairy army to almost break free from the pincer attack of the Trolls and Minotaurs.
Of course, this escape came at a great cost—broken battle flags, magic wands, and shattered magic robes lay all over, wings littered the ground, and corpses lay strewn about, so much so that even on the other side of the Giant Valley, where Leo Ray and others were at the Fortress, the intense smell of blood quickly reached them.
"Despite such a cost, if they can truly seize the high ground, the Flower Fairy army might regain some initiative on the battlefield. After all, that mountain range is exceedingly winding and rugged; ordinary Trolls and Minotaurs would find it challenging to climb in a short time."
Shuert squinted his old eyes and analyzed.
"Indeed, for the light-footed Flower Fairies, ascending the mountain isn't difficult. Even Troll and Minotaur magic-type strong persons with their bulky bodies would find climbing speed severely limited."
Broy adjusted the crown atop his head, echoing, "Utilizing the terrain advantage to avoid close combat, while maximizing their magic advantage, is indeed the most wise approach for the Flower Fairies currently."
"It's not just that; the Flower Fairies doing this might also be because they've noticed the imminent arrival of the Dragonborn army."
Crisis furrowed her brow, pondering for a moment, then quickly said, "But whether it is to hold and wait for the Dragonborn reinforcements or to prevent the Dragonborn's potential betrayal, is currently unknown."
"You're correct, but the Trolls and Minotaurs likely won't allow the Flower Fairies to easily approach the mountain range and climb to the peak."
Leo Ray's eyes narrowed slightly as he spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, the Trolls and Minotaurs will soon initiate a new action."
Just as Leo Ray's words fell, the Trolls and Minotaurs, growing further from the Flower Fairies, indeed launched new movements.
The flanks of both armies simultaneously kicked up dust, with massive contingents of Troll cavalry and Minotaur cavalry raising their lances and battle flags, breaking away from the main formation. Like giant pincers, they rapidly moved to encircle the Flower Fairies.
In an instant, the cavalry of both sides, numbering around 10 Legions, galloped with thundering speed like hunters spotting their prey, shouting excitedly, causing even the earth to tremble crazily.
Amidst the swirling dust, Leo Ray focused his gaze.
The Troll cavalry came in various forms, including both Wolf Riders and Terrain Dragon Riders, evidently from different Troll tribes, while the Minotaur cavalry were all mounted on a kind of rhino-like demon beast, their formation equally impressive.
It can be said without exaggeration that, apart from a few special units like the Coldflame Kingdom's Terrain Dragon Knights, human cavalry with the same strength would be no match for these cavalries—the difference in mounts is too great.
"I have searched carefully, aside from a few Terrain Dragons, there are no suitable beasts in the Human Domain for mass cavalry mounts; ordinary horses and the limited number of mutated horses are clearly no match for these foreign race cavalry."
"It seems I must find a suitable mount to equip my cavalry with, to truly unleash their combat potential. Of course, utilizing alchemy puppet mounts like the White Knights is also a fine option."
As Leo Ray contemplated this, under the charge of the Troll and Minotaur cavalry, the distance the Flower Fairy army painstakingly created was rapidly closing again.
