Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 187 Pocket Encounter (6)

Isaac didn't know much about magic, and what happened just now didn't seem like magic, but more like divine magic.

The biggest difference between magic and divine arts is that the performance of divine arts is very symbolic.

This may sound a bit abstract, but to put it more bluntly, when performing divine magic, if you observe carefully you will find elements with theological significance.

For example, holy emblems, divine holy lights, and that kind of thing.

Coincidentally, a palm-shaped emblem appeared in front of Viola just now.

Is that a holy emblem?
Which god?
Isaac was still thinking about countermeasures when he saw a sloping hillside not far ahead.

The horses will definitely slow down as they climb the hill, and once the cavalry slows down, their power will be greatly reduced, and Viola's numerical advantage will then increase.

Helplessly, Isaac had to swing his sword to force Viola back, then immediately turned his horse's head and led the cavalry to turn around.

Viola did not chase after them, but also turned slightly and led her troops back to the other side of the riverbank.

The painting style is very strange. It looks like someone in either team farted and they all ran away in a hurry.

Isaac turned around and joined the First Cavalry Team, while Viola reorganized her team on the other side of the riverbank, and the two sides faced each other again.

After joining the First Cavalry, there was no longer a difference in numbers between the two sides. Isaac's guards were stronger, while the cavalry belonging to Count Fran among Viola's cavalry had been chased for two days and two nights and were already exhausted. They were able to fight purely out of morale.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Although Isaac had never heard this sentence, he still understood this truth after a long military life.

"Take Princess Viola! We will end this war!"

Isaac raised his sword high and pointed it at Viola on the other side of the river:
"Charge! For the King!"

"For the King!"

The morale of his cavalrymen was boosted, and they followed Isaac and rushed towards Viola.

There are cavalry teams on both sides. If one side initiates a charge, the other side should normally also charge. Otherwise, whether it stands still or moves to the side to escape, it will suffer a serious blow.

However, Viola unexpectedly did not launch another charge. She did not even make any arrangements. She just watched Isaac getting closer and closer with an expressionless face.

This abnormal situation gave Isaac a bad feeling. At this moment, the warhorse was already charging at full speed. The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. If he stopped rashly, many of his own people would be trampled to death.

The distance was already very close. As long as they crossed the beach several dozen meters wide, Viola would be right in front of them, facing the sharp edge of the cavalry.

But just as Isaac rode his horse onto the beach, a gust of wind mixed with wet vapor blew from the side.

Isaac glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw muddy water rushing down the river on the other side.

Upstream of the front beach is the Thorhane River, which is connected to the Sailing City, and further ahead is the Half Moon Fort.

In order to cut off the connection between Half Moon Castle and Sailing City, the Subia Demon Kingdom Army built a dam in a shallow part of the river.

But the dam was built during the dry season in spring, and now it is summer, with abundant rain and a large amount of accumulated water flowing into the river.

Did she seize this opportunity and blow up the dam?

The timing is so perfect!

But then again, even though there was a flood, it wasn't enough to wash away Isaac and his troops.

After all, this foreshore is just a tributary of the Thorhaan River. Even if the dam is blown up, the amount of water flowing into the tributary will be very small, and the water flow will only increase from the original level of just covering the ankles to the level of covering the calves.

The turbid river water mixed with gravel and other debris had no effect on the army. If it were the infantry, their progress would definitely be hindered in the turbulent river water that covered their calves, but horses have long and thin legs, and the river water did not have much impact on horses, after all, the water was too shallow.

Isaac was about to laugh wildly to mock Viola's miscalculation when he suddenly noticed that the horse's forward speed had slowed down significantly.

Only then did he remember that horses are different from humans. When they see the surging river, they will unconsciously slow down instead of speeding up and rushing forward.

At this moment Isaac heard Viola say:
"Attack the troops when they are halfway across the river."

Before Isaac understood what she meant, he saw Viola wave her hand and countless arrows shot from behind. The cavalrymen who slowed down due to the sudden rise of the river water were shot off their horses one after another, and screams continued for a while.

Isaac was also given special attention. He used his sword to block several arrows. Looking back, he saw many of his men lying in the mud and screaming. Some even fell off their horses and were washed away by the rushing water, and were getting farther and farther away.

"General! Retreat! The Second Cavalry reports that the enemy is reinforcing us!"

"But! She's right in front of us!"

Isaac was extremely unwilling to give up, as he was just missing the last few dozen meters.

He took off his longbow and shot an arrow at Viola on the other side of the river.

The latter didn't even use his sword to block the arrow. It was as if the arrow hit an invisible shield and was bounced off with a ding.

"General!"

"I got it! Retreat!"

Isaac angrily threw the longbow into the water, took out the horn and blew it, then fled from the foreshore after leaving behind a dozen corpses, turned around and ran further away.

Viola did not chase after him, but just sent him off with another wave of arrows.

It seemed that Viola had a great advantage, but in fact she only had 400 soldiers with her, and even with Count Fran's exhausted cavalry, there were only more than 800 soldiers.

Isaac's cavalry was also heading in his direction to join him, and if he chased them rashly, he would most likely encounter their reinforcements.

Viola's reinforcements could not arrive so quickly. These more than 400 people were all her cavalry, and the rest were all infantry, and they could not catch up at all.

Besides, there is no need to chase after it.

The goal this time is to rescue Count Fran. As long as this goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how many enemies we kill.

Watching Isaac and his army disappear in the thick mist and rain, Viola wiped the rain off her face and turned back to Count Fran and said:

"Sir Fran, it's dangerous for us to stay here."

"Your Highness, you are right. The enemy cavalry may come back at any time. Please follow me to Half Moon Castle."

"No, please return to Half Moon Castle immediately. I will send someone to contact you when it is safe."

"But, but Your Highness, you are going to...?"

"I have been in Leon territory all this time."

Count Fran was stunned:
"Wasn't the Canyon Road blown up?"

When Count Fran first heard the news, he thought that Lord Leon was afraid of being attacked, so he directly cut off the roads in and out of the territory. He never expected that Viola had been hiding in the Leon territory all this time, so close to him.

"It was blown up, but... that's a long story. I'll tell you the details later. My knights will escort you back to Half Moon Castle, and the rain curtain sent down by the king will also protect you."

Your Majesty?

Count Fran didn't react for a moment and wanted to ask more questions, but after Viola finished speaking, she rode her horse and led her men towards the Spine of the World Mountains.

Then Count Fran saw a scene that he would never forget.

When the last cavalryman belonging to Viola entered the canyon, a pair of huge hands as big as mountains fell from the sky. They skillfully grabbed rocks and blocked the entrance to the canyon. They were even very considerate and poked a gap next to the blocked entrance with their fingers, leaving a way for people to enter but horses and carriages to pass through.

This action is like a child building a castle with sand, but if the piled rocks are almost level with a mountain, it will be very visually impactful.

The canyon road, which would take months to clear even if an army was mobilized, was easily blocked by this pair of huge hands. Then they would clap their hands, making a loud sound like thunder, shake off the dust on their hands, return to the sky, and disappear without a trace.

Count Fran was shocked, but then he remembered what Viola had just said and suddenly realized something.

He knelt on one knee and faced the canyon.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, did you see that? Our God is paying attention to Your Highness, the Princess. He has returned!"
