Chapter 102 Adventurer Alliance Vs. Crusaders (1)

Receiving the attack order, the vanguards of the Crusaders, that is, the armoured knight squad started moving.

The knights in Full plate armour and tower shields along with the halberd in their hands moved together in a horizontal line. They gave off a pressure as if a wall of iron itself was approaching close.

Dont shoot yet. Arrows and attack magics wont have much effect on them anyway.

Kurono spoke to the adventurers that were standing in front of the fence with long range weapons like bows in their hands.

The heavy armoured knights had already stepped on the bridge and were clearly inside the range of the bows but Kurono still did not give the order for attacking.

It must be the enemys squad with the strongest defence. As far as we know, there should not be any squad more heavily equipped than them.

Standing beside Kurono wasnt Lily but the eldest of the elf sisters, Irina.

All three sisters were gathered here and were pouring their magic in their bows [Sylphlight] to fire at the approaching enemy.

By sending the heavy armoured knights first, they would probably use the infantry to attack next. They must be using them in place of castle siege weapons. Well, if its those knights, they definitely can breakthrough both the wooden fence as well as the barbed wire.

If they allowed those knights to approach like this, the main gate would be easily toppled and it will open the path for the next squads.

If the gate was broken through, they will be unable to stop the enemy who possessed immense numbers and Alsace would fall by noon.

It seems they are fortified with light magic. Alsoa defensive light magic has also been deployed it seems.

Then neither arrows nor attack magic would have much effect like this. They really have an iron wall like defence right now.

In Kuronos original world, the era of armours ended with the introduction of guns.

Even if someone covered himself in iron, he wont be able to stop a bullet. If guns became the mean weapon of the enemy, then armours would end up only as a decoration.

But with the help of magic, bullets could be deflected in this world.

Their advance would be difficult to stop with just the firepower of the Adventurer Alliance.

Fiona had told Kurono about such ranks of armoured knights that use composite Union magic to obtain an extraordinary defence.

These heavy armoured squads were able to completely defend against long range attacks to compensate for their slow movement speed.

Then what could they do? How could they stop such a squad that possessed such an immense defensive ability? It was a situation that would make everyone else think that it was over but,

Kurono, youre laughing.

Yeah.

Kurono was laughing.

Well I cant help but laugh. I really didnt think that such an amateur tactic would actually go so well

The knight squad had approached them much closer on the bridge. The sound of their steel heels as they marched could be heard by every adventurer here. Yes, they were currently exactly in the middle of the bridge.

Do it. Blow up the bridge.(kurono)

.

.

.

The moment he heard that sound, Norz suddenly regretted a lot of things in his mind.

Why did he make them advance through the bridge without even checking thoroughly?

Why did the enemy choose a place like this that was surrounded by rivers to make their last line of defence?

Why, at the last moment, had he underestimated them and thought that there would be no trap?

But all these thoughts were now too late. Thats why they were called as regrets. No matter how much he regretted it now, the lives lost would not be returned. Yes, the heavy knights that fell into the river would never show their silvery splendour ever again.

*DODON!!*

The sound of explosion roared.

Im, impossible

Norz, as well as the troops waiting alongside him could not believe the scene for an instant.

The bridge on the river was supported by numerous thick pillars that would not crumble no matter how many carriages drove over it. That could be seen from a single glance.

Theres no way it would have collapsed from the weight of those knights.

But those pillars had easily crumbled and collapsed along with the exploding flames that blew up.

By the time they realized it, it was already too late. The enemy had laid some kind of trick on the bridge no doubt.

Cutting some important parts, or maybe they weakened the structure itself and then destroyed the bridge at the perfect timing through the use of some kind of remotely controlled magic.

To explode something through magic like this, they either needed to draw a magic circle or attach a magic item or they could infuse energy inside a rod beyond its limit etc etc. As long as they had time and magicians, it was not impossible to do it.

This is impossible!!!

Norzs shout was drowned out by the thunderous crumbling sound of the bridge.

The pieces of the bridge blew up and scattered in mid air as the armoured knights pathetically fell below.

These knights could defend against arrows, flames, lightning with their high defence but against the flowing deep river, they were totally powerless.

The tough and sturdy armour as well as the defensive light magic, both were useless if they were completely drowned. But due to the immense weight of their armour, it was impossible for a human to re
