Chapter 59: The Cavalry Guard Charges, Surprised By The Mermaid
Blue Moon City itself is located near Blue Moon Lake.
The distance is less than ten kilometers in total.
Riding on the swift wind horses.
After ten minutes.
Rennes and the others successfully arrived at Blue Moon Lake.
A huge lake, stretching as far as the eye can see, appeared before Rennes.
A gentle breeze blew, causing ripples on the lake's surface.
Under the sunlight, it reflected a soft blue and white light.
It looked very beautiful.
And on the shore of Blue Moon Lake.
Fish-headed creatures with standing feet, continuously building houses with mud and stones.
At the same time, there were a large number of fishman warriors holding stone spears and bone spears, guarding the surroundings.
A rough estimate.
The number of these fishmen is approximately around two thousand.
Obviously, this is not the entire fishman tribe.
There are still many fishmen staying below Blue Moon Lake.
While Rennes was observing these fishmen.
The fishman soldiers also noticed Rennes and his group of unexpected guests.
"Goo!~ Gugula goo! (Fishman language: Humans have come, kill them.)"
Led by an elite fishman.
Hundreds of fishman warriors rushed towards Rennes.
Seeing this scene.
Rennes remained calm, showing no intention to take action.
These fishmen are too weak.
Leave it to his subordinates to handle.
"Guard Cavalry, prepare for a wall charge."
Ramon, the knight captain behind Rennes, drew his knight's greatsword from his waist and turned to give orders to the others.
Receiving the command.
In less than a second, more than twenty elite knights controlled their warhorses, forming a straight line formation centered around the knight captain.
"Charge! Crush them!"
After arranging the formation, the knight commander, Lamon, had a solemn expression. He raised his sword with one hand and gave the order to attack.
In the next second.
More than twenty intermediate knights simultaneously activated their fighting spirit and infused it into their swift wind horses.
Rhythm! Rhythm! Rhythm!
Accompanied by a neigh, the swift wind horses seemed to be injected with stimulants, accelerating madly.
The more than twenty fully armed knights moved in perfect unison, resembling an indestructible wall.
They charged towards the fishman warriors rushing towards them.
Their momentum was extremely terrifying.
While the fishman warriors seemed numerous, they were actually like scattered soldiers.
Relying solely on brute strength.
They were actually at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
Ten seconds later.
The knight guard collided with the fishman warriors.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
In an instant.
Blood splattered.
The knight guard was like an invincible war machine.
With an overwhelming force, they slaughtered all the fishmen in their path.
After this wave of charges.
More than half of the hundred or so fishmen were dead or injured.
The elite fishman warrior leading them had his head chopped in half.
"Gugugu~ Gugugugulaji (Fishman language: These humans are very strong. All civilians return to the lake and report to the High Priest. Other warriors, follow me.)"
Seeing that nearly all of his hundreds of soldiers were almost wiped out in a single encounter, the fishman leader, who had been sitting pretty, was both shocked and angry.
Immediately, he led the remaining three hundred fishman warriors and charged directly towards Rennes and the others.
The remaining over one thousand civilian fishmen, responsible for construction and material collection, quickly jumped into the Blue Moon Lake, disappearing without a trace.
"Charge!"
Seeing more enemies continuously pouring in, Knight Commander Lamon decisively rallied all the knights and launched another charge.
However.
The result this time was not very good.
"Jigula~ (Fishman language: Damn humans, die!)"
Understanding the powerful impact of the human knights charging forward, the fishmen leaders naturally couldn't just stand by.
Without hesitation, they immediately raised their harpoons and fiercely threw them towards the leading knight, Ramon.
As an 8th rank marine warrior.
This fishmen leader used a throwing skill, launching harpoons with a power that was definitely not inferior to a magic siege crossbow.
It might even be stronger.
Woo!~
A piercing sound broke through the air.
In less than two seconds, this powerful harpoon arrived in front of Ramon.
Feeling the threat of death.
Ramon instinctively raised his round shield and used a blocking skill to defend himself.
The harpoon, accompanied by a powerful impact, directly pierced through the steel shield and struck Ramon.
Sending him flying off his warhorse.
However.
With the double cushioning of the shield and the knight's chest armor, the power of this attack was greatly reduced.
Coupled with the fact that the knight captain, Ramon, is a 6th rank knight with a strong physique.
Even if he was knocked off his horse, he only spat out a couple of mouthfuls of blood.
He still retained considerable combat ability.
After recovering, Ramon stood up, brandishing his greatsword, and madly slashing at the fishmen surging around him like a tide.
On the other side.
Without their leader.
The momentum of the other twenty-plus knights was hindered.
After charging into the enemy formation.
They were quickly surrounded by a large number of fishmen, and their charge came to a halt.
Seeing the knight guard in a predicament, Rennes didn't hesitate to take action.
Drawing the storm greatsword from his waist, he struck at the fishmen leader.
Swoosh!
A crescent-shaped deep blue sword energy shot through the air.
Instantly cutting the aggressive fishmen leader in half.
At the same time, it also killed more than ten elite fishmen warriors around him.
One!
Two!
Three!
...
Afterwards.
Rennes unleashed over ten storm sword qi attacks, killing all the elite fishmen in the crowd.
"Gurgle gurgle! (Fishman language: This human is a monster! The captain and the leader were all killed by him! Let's run away!)"
Seeing their commanding officers all killed, the remaining two hundred fishman warriors immediately lost morale.
Their eyes filled with fear.
They all turned around and ran towards the direction of Blue Moon Lake.
Rennes no longer needed to participate in the remaining matters.
A soldier without fighting spirit is like a lamb.
The knight guards kept charging and killing indiscriminately.
In an instant, blood flowed like a river.
If this situation continued,
It is feared that only a few of the remaining two hundred fishman warriors would be able to run back to Blue Moon Lake.
However.
Just at this moment.
A beautiful voice filled with intense anger came from the direction of Blue Moon Lake.
"Stop!"
The next second.
The water on the surface of Blue Moon Lake parted on its own.
Thousands of fishman warriors walked out from it.
With a menacing momentum.
Leading them was a beautiful lady holding a staff.
She had a hot and graceful figure, delicate fair complexion, and deep blue eyes like the surface of the sea.
Most importantly, her lower body was not legs, but a fish tail.
Clearly, she was an extremely rare mermaid!
