Chapter 751: Chapter 497: Battle Before Dawn (Part 1)_1

At this moment, Leo Ray’s eyes narrowed slightly, watching the group of Ice Knights that looked like a sharp blade capable of cutting through iron and mud, aimed directly at the heart of the Saint Night Siege Corps. He nodded in satisfaction.

This sudden attack was obviously very successful.

Of course, in order to better control the situation, Leo Ray was not idle at this time either.

Instead, he rode on the white giant wolf, along with Ariel Watson and his other subordinates, following the Ice Knights’ footsteps from neither far nor near.

At present, the battlefield was chaotic, and continuous shouting and killing resounded. Combined with the fact that the lowest strength of this group was at the Tier 3 Peak Level, capable of fighting against a hundred enemies, the opponents naturally couldn’t detect them.

Speaking of which, due to the siege battlefield being a somewhat steep and open hillside area, Leo Ray simply ordered the Ice Knights to charge forward, crazily sprinting down the slope.

Admittedly, although there were only 18 Ice Knights, their Tier 3 Peak Level strength, coupled with their sharp ice lances and thick ice armor, was unstoppable when they charged down from high ground against the unprepared Tier 1 Saint Night Army.

As the mighty Ice Horses galloped, the soldiers at the rear of the Saint Night Siege Corps were knocked around.

In the process, numerous soldiers were sent flying into the air by the sheer force, causing the situation to become extremely chaotic.

For a moment, the astonishing sight of soldiers soaring through the air, as well as the increasingly strong smell of blood, constantly bombarded the nerves of the opposing soldiers.

At the forefront of the battlefield, the enemy’s long-range soldiers who were currently attacking the Coldflame Fortress’ defenders saw this and quickly retracted their formation under the command of their commanders, retreating to a defensive position.

However, due to the other Saint Night soldiers in the rear chaos like headless flies, many of the long-range troops at the forefront of the Saint Night Army were blocked by their own people and couldn’t move back at all.

On the contrary, exposing their rear to the Coldflame Guardians on the fortress made the Saint Night Army’s archers and mages suffer heavy losses.

In short, under Leo Ray’s surprise attack, the well-organized Saint Night Army was undoubtedly caught in a pincer and instantly thrown into chaos.

Seeing this scene, Ariel Watson, who was beside Leo Ray, couldn’t help but take a deep breath of the cold, blood-scented night air.

As a knowledgeable and experienced member of the Coldflame Royal Family, she immediately recognized that these Ice Knights were powerful advanced alchemy puppets.

“I didn’t expect this guy to have 18 Tier 3 Peak Level alchemy puppets on him. These things are extremely expensive and rare alchemy products. Even I only have six Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses…” Ariel Watson continued to ponder, as stars flickered in her eyes.

Most crucially, this guy managed to stir chaos in a legion of tens of thousands of soldiers with just 18 knights, which was simply incredible.

On the other side, the 18 Ice Knights under high-speed movement quickly pierced through the enemy’s formation and galloped down the mountain.

As a result, the Saint Night soldiers who were initially scattered quickly reassembled into new battle formations.

This scene made Leo Ray, who was following not far away, raise his eyebrows slightly.

He thought to himself, “Although the damage caused by these 18 Ice Knights is limited, my main purpose is to disrupt and attract the attention of the Saint Night Siege Corps, so that the Red Devil’s plan of tying down the small fortress would fail.”

“As long as this goal is achieved, my plan will be perfectly successful.”

Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, an angry roar resounded through the Saint Night Army’s camp: “All withdraw from the attack range of the fortress, and eliminate those detestable knights first!”

Immediately after, the massive Saint Night Siege Corps divided into two parts.

Apart from a portion that guarded the city gate from a distance, the rest all turned to face the Ice Knights who were speeding down the mountain.

In an instant, a row of drawn longbows aimed at the silhouettes of the fleeing Ice Knights.

At a glance, the road leading down the mountain had already been covered with rows of abatis and spikes arranged by the Saint Night Army, completely blocking the 18 Ice Knights’ escape while also slowing their speed significantly.

As for the current terrain, which was still steep, the Ice Knights’ horizontal movement would undoubtedly be greatly affected.

Not far away, the Saint Night archers in the front row prepared for their attack, looking at the knights’ hazy silhouettes and cold smiles appeared on their murderous faces.

These obstacles were initially set up to prevent the cavalry from rushing out of the Coldflame Fortress, but now they had unexpectedly been used here.

Upon closer observation, the numerous Saint Night archers had several elite Tier 2 middle teams among them.
