The Silverlance Pegasus Knights, Kazimierz's elite fighting force.
High-density alloy enchanted armor crafted by top artisans, sharp staff-lances containing Spell units, the most advanced combat and Spell training, and elite talents selected from Knight Orders across the land—all contributed to the formation of this elite among elites.
Considering that Kazimierz Ranks among the lowest in population across the entire continent, the Surveillance Court never contemplated adopting Ursus's 'Brothers, I still want some numbers' human wave tactical theory. Instead, they opted for mobile warfare doctrine.
How do they mobilize? By running on two legs, of course!
Through Spell-charged charges propelled by their legs, the Silverlance Pegasus Knights, like Space Marines, undertake the most difficult and dangerous assault missions. The Knight Captains of each battle group—ahem, each Knight Order—also have glorious deeds to their names.
That Silverlance Pegasus Knight, for instance, once nearly pushed Old Man Hellagur to his limits.
Of course, the Silverlance Pegasus Knights are not enchanted warriors sustained by potions and demonic powers like the Imperial Guard. Their standing numbers are probably in the thousands, a larger force whose strength is primarily enhanced through the refinement of individual martial arts and the execution of coordinated team Spells.
Each of them is a formidable fighter, capable of fighting ten opponents, and when arrayed in a battle formation, they are unstoppable. Neither the Ursus nor the Leithanien could devise an effective way to counter them.
However, most of the Silverlance Pegasus Knights are stationed at the Haze Forest Defense Line. The Ursus would never allow them to leave their borders, and the Commercial Federation also doesn't want them to return.
After all, with guns but no food, everywhere is a granary. No matter how rich these capitalists are, they feel anxious with money in their pockets. They can only constantly tie themselves to the military through military donations and strive to amend laws through the National Assembly, hoping for the right to form private armies—the people of the Surveillance Court aren't foolish, so they naturally didn't approve it.
Of course, who wins or loses this battle, the outcome, cannot be decided now.
But even so, just a week ago, a company of Silverlance Pegasus Knights secretly bypassed all surveillance and headed to this Grand Knight Territory controlled by the Commercial Federation.
To be honest, while the Knights are incredibly loyal, asking them to abandon their posts and leave the border still causes resentment.
Especially in the Grand Knight Territory, during the busiest time in three years.
For these warriors who have been defending the frontier for years, with even time limits on talking to their families, seeing how these rich people indulge in debauchery, and how those Tournament Knights become playthings and entertainers for money, it's indeed very unpleasant—'What the hell have I been protecting?'
Especially that Margaret Nearl, the granddaughter of the greatest Silverlance Pegasus, Mars Ling Guang, who was the planner of this operation—she actually became a Tournament Knight?!
Although she indeed climbed all the way to the final, there were still dissenting voices within the Silverlance Pegasus regarding her evaluation.
They came to the safest place in all of Kazimierz, and have been constantly evacuating workers and civilians within the mobile city. What exactly was it all for?
However, when they saw the colossal monster that burst forth from the ground, tearing through steel, filled with the stench of decay and twisted flesh, with even its peeling skin continuously transforming into pale, distorted humanoid creatures, constantly emitting piercing roars, all the Silverlance Pegasus Knights' remaining doubts vanished.
That was definitely an enemy of the Knights, a great enemy of Kazimierz—no, a great enemy of this world!
"Node Adjutant, ensure Spell linkage! We are initiating a short-range charge. Focus on reinforcing defense for the energy vanguard. Our mission is to hold this monstrosity back—wear your earplugs, listen to nothing, see nothing! Remember, we are Kazimierz's spear!"
The moment he saw the gigantic monster, even Marthal, who had lived for over seventy years, fell into a brief state of shock.
He had witnessed Ursus's battle cities and Kazimierz's fortress cities shatter each other from collisions, seen the tragic aftermath of Elaphia villages massacred after Ursus's punitive camps passed through, and had more than once climbed out of piles of corpses.
But he was certain that this monstrosity before him was the most absurd thing he had ever seen in his life—the Old Ancestor said the Knight King sealed a great calamity underground, but she didn't say she sealed something this huge!
And on top of the giant beast's head, on a small platform, there seemed to be a few familiar figures, waving their hands at the Knights—no need to ask, that must be Goki.
However, the Old Knight's movements showed no hesitation. Having fought countless battles, he had long since internalized the act of charging. He raised his increasingly brilliant longsword and shield, and his body erupted with a radiance Shining like the sun.
Piercing and frantic roars, and Spell turbulence like a storm, surged towards him, but striking the Old Knight's luminous barrier, they felt like a gentle breeze.
Then, he took the first step, and the more than one hundred Crusader Knights behind him maintained their distance, splitting into several ten-person charging vanguards, and simultaneously stepped forward.
The spiritual light of Originium Arts generated around the Knights. Perhaps some of them were more suited to fire, others more adapted to ice.
But here, most Knights only needed to simply provide Originium energy, which would be adjusted by the "Node Adjutant"—they were both Knights and casters, in simple terms, a brain trust.
Finally, a Shining luminous vanguard was created, accelerating instantly to a hundred kilometers per hour like a sports car suddenly hitting the gas—these were Super Kazimierz!
Boom—!
This spacious area, approximately fifty meters high, was designed to accommodate landships, and its structural strength far exceeded other locations, which is why it was chosen as the battlefield.
Accompanied by a thunderous roar like ten thousand horses galloping—considering most of the Knights were Kuranta, it truly was ten thousand horses galloping—the Spell vanguard grew increasingly intense, with Marthal's vanguard being the sharpest.
Friction with the air caused the edges of the Spell vanguard to begin crackling, and the intense heat caused a shimmering distortion there, even the metal floor beneath their feet began to melt.
Among the countless tentacles just launched by the Star God, the Mind-suckers and big-headed dolls thrown out didn't even have time to stabilize before they were directly pulverized into minced meat by the powerful energy blast—and they were cooked.
These monsters were all transformed from recently absorbed cultists; some still retained the consciousness of casters, quickly assuming stances and summoning starlight-like radiance.
However, these Spells were so weak that before the Knights' energy vanguard, which was dozens of times stronger, these Spells couldn't even slow its speed by a single step.
A charging Knight cannot be stopped by forces of the same Rank; this is common knowledge in military science. A large charge of nearly a hundred people is even more unparalleled.
How to slow it down, and how to maintain speed, were the problems that both the enemy and the Knights needed to consider.
Undoubtedly, this impact would be unstoppable, until it, carrying immense energy, crashed into that absolutely abnormal-looking giant creature.
But, indeed, no "Mortal" could stop it, but that doesn't mean no Gods People could stop this group of presumptuous Mortals.
And these charging Knights clearly hit this Lord God's sore spot—Tucker hated these damned Knights who had Sealed him for hundreds of years the most.
"Knights—die!"
One of the enormous tentacles swept across with immense power. Although it was scorched and broken by the energy vanguard on one side, it halted the movement of that team of Knights, forcing them to re-accelerate.
But without the slightest pause, his hands converged above his head—if that coral-like head could be called a head.
Buzz, buzz, buzz buzz buzz—!
