Ark: The Cycle of Light and Darkness

The moment the first batch of about 300 vanguard troops entered the city, the sound of horse hooves sounded not far outside the city.

Levi did not choose to wait for everyone to enter the city, not even the vanguard.

Everything is going according to plan

【cavalry! It's the cavalry! 】

The first wave of impact is always the most severe, even if the vanguard army has a numerical advantage.

Levi is extremely good at timing. When the city is broken, it is when the opponent's psychological defense is at its weakest. When a supposedly safe environment is broken by a sudden attack, a series of fission reactions will occur.

And this is exactly what Levi needs.

Pulling out the Tang Dao from his waist, the accelerating galloping horse roared past, cutting off the first enemy that rushed into the city gate. The troops following Levi also followed suit. For a moment, blood spattered, There were screams and falling to the ground everywhere

【Don't panic! There are only a few hundred people on the other side! 】

Finally, after a slight confusion, the vanguard army came back to their senses.

At this time, Levi was rushing into the crowd and killing people wantonly. After hearing the words from the opponent's camp, he seemed to think of something and smiled slightly. Then after a strange whistle, the hundreds of cavalry immediately began to accelerate, using The movement speed of the horses threw away the vanguard army that was about to react.

【Stop chasing! It’s important to seize the city! Those guys are just bluffing to buy time! ]

Seeing that his men still wanted to pursue, the commander who gave the order at the beginning quickly stopped him: [Don't forget our mission! After taking down Bernburg, aren't those troublemakers just grasshoppers in our hands? 】

However, his pride did not last long.

Because Lei Wei's hundreds of cavalry stopped not far from the city gate, just across the distance between the vanguard and the middle army, they seemed to want to make a second effort.

【not good! Come to town quickly! ]

The captain gritted his teeth: [These guys, it seems they want to try again!...Go to the city first, and then rely on the city gate to consume them! 】

In a sense, the commander's judgment was correct.

The power of the cavalry relies on the speed of running. Without the speed of running, it will lose many advantages - just like Levi once used traps and stumbling ropes to reduce the impact speed of the cavalry. Relying on the city gate that can be defended, the same It has such effect.

However, is Levi's purpose so simple?

The reason why we needed to use snagging ropes and traps was because the number of cavalry possessed by the opponent was enough to threaten the entire army. And now Levi has more than 500 cavalry at best.

It is the soldiers of the Fourth Legion who have such tactical qualities. If it were the cavalry from other legions, the unexpected attack just now would have resulted in dozens of casualties.

【Haha, these guys hesitated! Enter the city gate and close it! No matter how fast you tell them, it's useless! 】

Seeing that Levi did not rush forward immediately, a trace of pride flashed in the eyes of the captain who commanded the vanguard. It seems that Regulus Harvey is at this level. After all, anyone who encounters this situation may have no choice but to surrender.

It is not easy to organize the first surprise attack.

At this moment, the captain was fearless. The city was captured and the city gate was closed.

Although he was a little regretful that he could not catch Regulus Harvey personally, he knew his level and had no hope at all. With less than three thousand vanguard troops and cavalry in hand, the casualties alone would be enough to make him unable to hold his current position.

Moreover, although they cannot capture them personally, this group of cavalry will only be destroyed if they encounter the incoming army. When the time comes, they will be rewarded based on their merits, and at least they will be able to get some marginal credit.

Thinking of this, the captain smiled and looked at Levi, who was still hesitating not far away.

Levi also got off and looked at the dead captain with a smile.

————Dividing line————

【Have you entered the city first?! 】

Julius looked down upon the Halstein soldiers' uncooperation from the bottom of his heart. After all, obeying orders and prohibitions should be a must-have quality for an army.

【Report sir! There is a reason for this! 】

Seeing his commander frowning slightly, the scout did not dare to hide anything and told the story of the captain's experience.

【In other words, this army only came out to harass the city when it was broken?】

【exactly. ]

The scout nodded and said: [Their purpose seems to be to stall for time. The casualties in facing hundreds of cavalry directly are still relatively high, so our officers just rely on the favorable location.……】

【etc! 】

As if he noticed something was wrong, Julius was stunned for a moment, and then his expression suddenly changed.

【not good! The messenger! Stop the vanguard from entering the city! 】

However, time is already too late.

With a loud roar, the dark night sky was instantly illuminated by the sky-high firelight.

The steaming flames on the ground were accompanied by explosions that shook the earth and the mountains. Under bursts of fire, deafening roars came from the earth, and huge smoke and dust rose into the sky.

At this moment, Julius's expression changed drastically, but a smile appeared on Levi's face.

A hint of a cruel smile.
