Dawn of the Grey Tower

Quadrupeds are mostly heavier than their sized human counterparts, mainly because they have four fulcrums to support their bodies, allowing for more leeway in both skeletal structure and muscle distribution. Not to mention a horse, a creature that itself is much larger than a human being. It is normal for a real horse to break the knight's leg when it falls.

And this situation becomes a disaster when the warhorse is still wearing armor. Before it falls, it is a disaster for the enemy, and when it falls, it becomes a disaster for the rider. So what if the flesh and blood were removed, and the weight of a horse-like armor was used as the object? Will things be better?

In theory, such a situation would be much better than hitting the leg with the vest together, but the difference might be just the difference between a comminuted fracture and an ordinary fracture.

Even the shattered armor pieces during the fall may become a blade, cutting through the unprotected body of the rider and causing more serious damage. However, there is another premise of this matter, that is, there is no armor including horses, and it can run like a living horse.

There was smoke and dust all over the training ground, but the dull crashing sound that I imagined never came. Atta and Kailas stared at the cloud of smoke. After all, their eyes were not the magic vision of the mage. They couldn't see through the particles in the air. They could only wait quietly for the smoke to dissipate.

The smoke and dust always cleared, and the wind in the hallway carried them away, revealing what lay beneath. It was a heavy full-body armor, not like it was worn by humans, because no one could move normally with it on. He thought it was the heavy armor worn by heroes who had no common sense in poets who babble about after drinking. Just standing there made people feel its weight and thickness.

"That's the horse just now, right?" Atta frowned and said in a very uncertain tone. She had to admit that even after all the incredible things she'd been through with Cheese, what was going on in front of her was still puzzling.

Keras licked his teeth with his tongue, showing a complicated expression, "Oh, this is the worst, I didn't expect to meet him here. But yeah, it all makes sense."

"What makes sense?" The female swordsman was still in a state of confusion. She didn't understand why her companion showed a sudden realization. This incomprehension became more serious as the armor began to approach them.

"I'll explain later, get him done first. Be careful of the metal on him. Those metals are part of his body. Armor, warhorses, weapons, they can turn into anything."

Kailas said with a rapier made of sand grains upside down. To deal with this kind of heavy armor, either swing the warhammer with great force to stun the person inside, or use a spear or a rapier to penetrate the weak link of the armor. As a swordsman, the latter is more favored by him.

"I can't see magic in him, he's not a mage." The female swordsman adjusted the posture of holding the sword, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone, which might be because she faintly noticed something.

"Of course not, he was just a mistake, a joke. A bad joke." Kailas finished speaking, as if he didn't want to talk about it any more, and rushed straight towards the armor.

This obviously followed the opponent's wishes. Thick armor was not suitable for chasing, but it was very suitable for attacking. The weapon in the armor's hand changed from an axe to a dagger, and it looked a bit shabby because it didn't match the clothes on him.

But this does not prevent the cold light on the blade of the dagger from shaking people's minds. When the cat fairy's footsteps approached, the short sword was very natural, and even slashed towards him in a random manner.

This blow, Kailas can dodge, not only can dodge, but also can launch four different counterattacks. In the past, he would do this when facing a bulky enemy whose size was much larger than himself. He would close the distance, fight close to himself, and use the opponent's body as his fighting field. His arms and thighs could all be used as fulcrums for the black cat to move flexibly.

Facing the enemy this time, Kailas did not choose such a radical tactic. He raised his body, swung his sword sideways, and used the blade of the Sand Sword to receive the opponent's slash. The purpose of this is to test the strength. During the fight, strength can change many things, and being able to have a preliminary judgment on the strength of the opponent will undoubtedly be beneficial to the subsequent battles.

"puff!"

A strange sound sounded, and it was not the sound that two weapons should have when they intersected. The cat fairy's figure stopped, and then rolled to the side for a long distance before stopping. He lowered his head and glanced at the weapon in his hand, and saw that the sword of sand spread out from the place where it intersected with the opponent's blade, and the body of the sword was less. Nearly two-thirds!

The sound just now was the sound of a sharp blade sweeping across the sand. This is so weird.

In fact, Keras had thought many times about the occurrence of a similar situation. After all, the idea of ​​forming a weapon from sand was not reliable. It seemed only natural that it would disintegrate when it collided with a metal weapon.

The Sword of Sand is a magical weapon. In Cheese's words, the individual components of this weapon are not real sand. Those sands are actually aggregated together after being fixed into a certain form. It seems that a series of processes from melting casting to quenching in weapon forging have been completed in an instant, and they are directly integrally formed.

Therefore, in actual combat, the hardness and flexibility of the weapon transformed by the Sand Sword will not be inferior to that of metal.

But it shattered. It was usually a child's toy made of mud and water. It was beaten back into a mess of sand by the slashing of the dagger. It was so quick that Kyles didn't feel the pressure on his arm.

This is likely some sort of protective mechanism for the Sword of Sand, a self-aware weapon that chooses to remove the force of the collision in this near-self-destructing fashion, preventing its owner from bearing its consequences.

It is a pity that since he obtained the sword of sand, Kailas has never communicated with the weapon as clearly as he did at the bottom of the sand cave. .

That ritual allows goblins and native lands to converse with rocks, and from that to obtain vague but precious information. But those attempts did not respond after all, so in the face of the current situation, Kailas could only make a judgment.

"It's incomparable, don't fight with him."

In fact, Kailas will try to evaluate the opponent's strength, entirely for Atta, due to the size of the problem, the cat fairy has long given up the method of winning by force when fighting with humans and humanoids, but Atta is not the case.

In fact, because the female swordsman has half the blood of the fairy, her physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. She will also make good use of this in the past battles and win the battle with unexpected strength.

"Understood." Atta replied softly, then swallowed a small breath of air, her body lowered, holding swords in both hands, and rushed towards the armored man at a very fast speed.

The dagger lay on the path of the female swordsman. Atta's ankle suddenly exerted force, jumping like an antelope in the mountains, turning the direction of inertia, easily bypassing the blade, and coming directly to the opponent's side.

Flakrag swung horizontally against the opponent's ribs with a perfect arc, touching the strange armor.
