In the lowland of blood skeleton Valley, the eagle king standing on the unknown highland did not pay attention to the figure of the dragon roaring away in the air, but focused on another part of the battlefield.
Knight Byrne.
These soldiers, who ride "horses" (elves don''t have such livestock), are fully armed, use long knives, swords, spears, crossbows, arrows and arrows to fight. They can actually watch the compatriots in the front row turn into blood in the sea of rotten corpses and demons, and still remain unchanged - shouting slogans and calmly die.
If this is the only way, it will not make the eagle king look at you; But if you can keep discipline and obey orders and commands when you die calmly... It''s a little scary.
He saw with his own eyes that the small cavalry with dark blue hair and two short swords was not angry after defeating his first round of attack, let alone directly leading the soldiers to continue the charge; Instead, they formed a team in situ, gathered the defeated soldiers, reorganized the formation, and retreated step by step to the top of the slope to support the infantry in the back row.
It''s true that you don''t mess up when you''re on the battlefield, don''t be surprised when things change, have your own judgment, and don''t advocate the arrangement and arrangement of the commander, and accurately convey the orders to the most grass-roots soldiers
Even the best warriors, that''s all.
"Are you still in the mood to appreciate the enemy?"
A sharp, sarcastic voice sounded in the eagle king''s ear: "the only trump card in your hand that can compete with the dragon has been extinguished."
Diabo, the "last shadow" among the four evil gods.
"It doesn''t matter. It has completed its mission." the eagle king smiled indifferently and didn''t care: "because it... The enemy''s dragon has also been seriously injured and can no longer cover their fragile defensive positions."
"They... Probably less than 10000? I have 300000 soldiers who are not afraid of life and death."
"It''s 270000."
Luton, the "unbeliever" of the four evil gods, couldn''t bear to say: "just now, many were affected, plus they were buried by avalanches and defeated by cavalry... No less than 30000."
"That''s dozens of times more than them!"
The eagle king''s mouth was a little confident: "besides, this is the blood skeleton Valley in the glacier wasteland. There are dead bodies buried everywhere. There is no shortage of troops - if necessary, I can pave a road to leave the blood skeleton valley with the corpse of the rotten corpse demon!"
"If so... What are you going to use to fight the Empire, your Majesty the eagle king?" the sour Diabo deliberately emphasized the word "Your Majesty":
"Alone, to meet the remaining ten dragons and the sworn Knights of the Empire?"
"Maybe, maybe I should go to the emperor''s capital, the nest of the Holy Cross running dog, and ask the emperor to surrender to me, so as to end this absurd and great war."
"Impossible, the Holy Cross is not consciousness, and there is no concept of surrender." Luton - "the last shadow" said: "if you do this, the only end will be..."
"Can only be completely erased - I know, just joking, don''t take it seriously."
The happy eagle king even had a joking Leisure: "of course, the most important thing now is to capture the blood skeleton Valley as soon as possible and block these respectable opponents in front of me..."
"Kill them all!"
…………………………
"Imperial man, prepare for war -!"
Exeter, the Earl of anger castle, stood with his sword in hand and commanded the battle in the front of the infantry array. He stared at the tide under the highland, and thousands of rotten corpse demons.
boundless!
Count Eckert could not help sighing - if he could, he would prefer to command the cavalry, which was what he was best at; Up and down Byrne, only the Knights led by the western mountain rock castle are good at waving big swords and stepping on the earth to fight with the enemy.
Unfortunately... The protagonists of the battle of blood skeleton valley are not destined to be cavalry. Once the infantry line collapses, it means that the whole battle is completely over; Only thousands of defenders have to be slaughtered.
"Crossbow, three hundred steps - ready!"
Heavy catapults behind the front began to operate; There are at least ten engineers in front of each crossbow. Under the command of officers, they carry alchemical bombs and steel crossbows and arrows, which are orderly and orderly placed in the firing position.
"Shoot --!"
In the uniform roar, the rotten corpse demons in the front row fell down like wheat in rows - in the sharp howling like ice crack, the hit rotten corpse demons immediately turned into pieces and scattered to the ground.
If it is a human army, it will not continue to try to attack the Highlands in the face of such heavy casualties; But the rotten corpse devil is not human, not even "living"; Still unmoved, stepping on the debris all over the ground, he continued to rush to the top of the hillside.
A hundred steps!
In the continuous bombardment and explosion, the count of fury castle with an iron blue face suddenly raised his right hand and waved it down. The crossbow men immediately came forward, formed a front in front of the infantry array, and poured arrow rain on the rotten demons high underground.
Generally speaking, the arrow weapon can cause little damage to the rotten corpse demon, which is far less than the effect of chopping, but... That''s just "usually"
"Boom --!!"
Flames dance!
All the arrows of the blood skeleton Valley garrison have been soaked in a powerful igniter - not to mention touching the flame, even if they are exposed to the air and rub violently, they can be ignited directly.
In the continuous flame and roar, the defenders of blood skeleton Valley standing behind the shield wall can only see large tracts of fire, smoke and flying snow.
If that''s really "flying snow"
Thirty steps!
The screaming rotten corpse demons rushed out of the flame and rushed fiercely to the seemingly thin front of the defenders.
"Meet the enemy --!"
The roaring count of Eckert picked up the halberd and smashed the first rotten corpse demon into broken ice particles under the protection of the shield wall.
"Long live the Empire --!!"
Under the roaring "black wall", the cold and snowy halberds stabbed out like straw and smashed into the swarming rotten corpse demons like gears.
The sharp halberd blade split their shoulders and heads, the sharp halberd tip penetrated their trunk, and the iron clad shield withstood their charge and bumped them back.
Icy claws penetrated through the gap between the shield walls, tore off the guards'' armor, pierced their faces and crushed their throats... There was no sound in the dead shield wall, and the fallen soldiers never stood up again. The soldiers in the back row held up their shields and changed their positions.
"Long live the Empire --!!"
The uniform cry echoed over the blood skeleton valley.
After withstanding the first round of attack by the rotten corpse demons, the Legion soldiers at the forefront began to change rows very skillfully - the seriously injured retreated to the line, and finally, the slightly injured and the uninjured rotated, replacing the soldiers in the back row to the front and erecting a new "shield wall".
In a sense, this orderly "platoon changing" tactic is the fundamental reason why the "black wall" of the Empire has more endurance than ordinary heavy infantry.
However, such tactics generally have two preconditions - first, they must have absolute flank protection;
There is no doubt that there are cliffs on both sides of the hillside and trenches dug by the defenders; There is no need to worry about the flank until the rotten demons fill the trenches full of barbs or fill the cliffs.
Secondly, it is an array for defense rather than attack, which can provide treatment and weapons replacement for replaced soldiers.
This is no problem. The highlands of the two hillsides are the defensive positions of blood skeleton valley. The Garrison has operated for several days. What can be done has been prepared, and even the route of gradual retreat has been prepared.
If you look closely, you can even see a short "snow wall" in front of the first column of the garrison array, which is only Knee High - all built with condensation and covered with ice and snow.
This thing was used by Loren to make fortifications to resist the charge of centaurs during the war of the great green sea. The effect is reliable; A short wall is enough to counteract the impact of most of the rotten corpse demons climbing up.
And this seemingly "thin layer" wall has another function.
fire lane.
"Catapult, fire --!"
Dozens of dark shadows passed over the shield wall and hit the rotten corpse demons;
The bow and crossbow men standing in the back row also put down their crossbows and arrows one after another. They became "bullet throwers" and roared and threw one pottery pot after another onto the rotting corpse demons who were still swarming.
At the moment of hitting, the crisp pottery jars burst one after another, and the yellowish brown liquid scattered like water.
"Igniter, launch --!"
Boom!!!!
Beyond the parapet, there is a sea of fire.
The flame is like water in essence, raging madly and devouring in the rotten corpse demon - there is no scream, let alone wail; The rotten corpse demon wrapped by the flame turned into scorched fragments in an instant; Scattered and burning fragments continue to devour the next target.
Clearly, there is a sea of fire ahead, and the rotten corpse demons in the back row are still frantically stepping into the flames; They were either bumped into a ditch or pushed off a cliff; The flame... Became an insurmountable barrier in front of them and the defenders of blood skeleton valley.
Of course, on the contrary, the defenders of blood skeleton Valley can''t launch any counterattack before the flame goes out.
Count Eckert breathed a sigh of relief - this "fire wall" could buy the defenders of blood skeleton valley about a quarter of an hour''s rest; A quarter of an hour... Enough for the cavalry to come back for reinforcements and get the castle floating city to its reservation.
The next thing to do is to repeat the previous steps, beat the rotten corpse demons again and again, and then cycle back and forth; The enemy''s strength may be unlimited, but it is impossible for the evil gods opposite to feel no pain when thousands of people are finished regardless of the consequences.
Then, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then fight the devil completely.
Of course... If there are reinforcements.
After deciding to fight in the blood skeleton Valley, Ike didn''t send messengers to duanjie mountain fortress for help, but there was no news, including two Bain knights, a demon hunter and five Hussars; Even after the first supply, there were no troops or messengers from the fortress of duanjieshan.
In other words, the fortress of duanjieshan at present is likely to be besieged by the Azores elves, and all roads are blocked by elves warriors.
Under such circumstances, unless the fortress miraculously defeated the Azores two days ago and immediately led at least 20000 troops north, the defenders of blood skeleton Valley could not get any assistance at all.
But such a miracle... It''s impossible to think about it
There was a bitter smile on count Eckert''s mouth, but it was soon forgotten.
"The whole army is in place to rest and guard!" the count of anger Castle turned his head and shouted at the infantry behind him: "Bowman, keep gathering fire once a minute, ready..."
At the moment when the arm was waved down, a burst of cold suddenly hit.
"Hoo --"
The cold wind mixed with dust was like a cyclone rising steeply on the ground. The first column of Legion soldiers almost immediately dragged the count of fury Castle back to the shield wall and gritted their teeth against the shield.
In an instant, the air waves stopped.
The count of fury castle, with a frown, carefully pushed away the shield wall in front of him and stared warily at the opposite side of the low wall.
The sea of fire went out, leaving only bits and pieces of residue still burning in the ashes.
But the screaming rotten corpse demons didn''t rush up as recklessly as just now.
Standing in the sea of fire was an old man with white hair and beard, dragging his axe upside down.
He was naked, covered only by ragged linen pants and seemingly decaying leather belts, barefoot, and his strong body stood among the embers like an iron tower; Drooping his head, but staring at every move across the street.
Chest, is a scar like cross shaped black mark.
Behind him, even the nearest rotten corpse devil "hid" ten steps away from him.
"I''m quigo, the attendant of the ''tyrant'' govait. I extend my most sincere greetings to you who have been appointed enemies by the great four gods!"
The next second, he suddenly raised his head and looked like a dead man, which shocked all the defenders of blood skeleton Valley, as if he had been stared at by some terrible beast!
He raised his battle axe, stepped on the embers under his feet and walked towards the shield wall step by step. As if he had entered a deserted place, he swung his battle axe high and aimed it at the count of anger Castle who was still in fear
Chop down.
"Dang --!"
The two short swords crossed into a cross shape held the axe blade of the Tomahawk at the last moment.
"Here we are!"
The thin gray pupil boy gasped heavily, but he still couldn''t help raising the corners of his mouth: "finally... This time the weapon didn''t break into ice!"
Before he recovered from his shock, Ike, the Earl of fury castle, heard a loud bugle sounded at the foot of the hillside and thunderous hoofs.
In the roar of cavalry charge, the rotten corpse demons fell in pieces and were divided into pieces.
The Byrne knights who defeated the rotten demons'' first attack are returning!
"Who are you?"
Looking at the young man blocking his axe, the evil god apostle asked directly and coldly.
Then Lucian answered more directly than he did:
"The man who killed you!"
