Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
A sudden sound of war drums came from the rear of the collapsed lizard man. Several male lizard man soldiers with strong physique and thick limbs came out carrying a huge war drum with a diameter of more than two meters. On the drum is an old lizard man with colorful feathers. He holds a dead wood Scepter in his hand. At the top is a large humanoid skull inlaid by some means.
The skull is a bit like an ogre, because it has a single horn on its forehead.
The fur used by the drum seems to come from the consumption of cattle, because Murphy saw that the side is decorated with dark brown hair, and there are a series of skulls hanging around the drum, which is not human, but half elf skulls.
Weird! Cruel!
"It''s the shaman priest!" Murphy''s face sank.
With the lizard shaman priests appearing on the battlefield, the soldiers who had been demoralized to collapse actually reorganized the front line, while the soldiers who had fled before took up arms and gathered together again. The old lizard shaman hammered the drum with his withered arm, and the deep and hoarse war song sounded in a rhythm that Murphy had never heard before!
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The rhythm of the war drum is more and more high pitched, while the old lizard priest standing on the war drum is still beating the war drum madly. It is shouting and shouting, and suddenly gives out a very sharp high decibel scream!
Boom!
Boom!
The heavy footsteps Murphy heard before suddenly sounded again. The lizard soldiers who reorganized the battle line gave out a burst of cheers and shouts, while the half elves who were besieged in the village were full of despair, and their morale fell into depression for a time.
"Reinforcements!"
Murphy frowned, did not hesitate to order the front of the silver shield Army Infantry down.
Beyond Murphy''s expectation, he did not expect that the enemy reinforcements would come so soon, and it seemed that there were a lot of them.
Woo!
The bleak bugle sounded.
The soldiers of the silver shield army, who were fighting with the lizard soldiers, began to retreat, while the Greek heavy infantry led by Murphy, who were hidden in the dense forest, also formed a square array and stepped on the battlefield. Long spears, cold wind, no drums of high pitched, slightly desolate in the horn sound, the Athenian army stepped into the battlefield, silent and speechless, with neat steps, only the sound of weapons collision, just like the rhythm of heavy metal musical instruments!
At first it was just a trial fight, but now it has turned into a positive confrontation.
Realizing that the reinforcements were not the only thing, the besieged half elves have hope again, but now everything has nothing to do with them, because this duel has evolved into the first confrontation between Athens and the lizards!
Following the lizard shaman priest, the enemy''s reinforcements also entered the battlefield. In front of them were heavy infantry with heavy weapons (hammers, axes, spears). They were tall and strong, advancing in a loose front similar to the barbarian fighting style. Then came the light infantry equipped with simple weapons such as swords. Their physique was slightly smaller, but they were also two heads higher than human beings. At the end of the line were archers, mainly composed of female lizards.
Ow! Hector! Hector!
With the arrival of reinforcements, the morale of the scattered lizard soldiers was high. Instead of besieging the semi elf village, they gathered in front of the battle, waving weapons and howling at the Athenian army.
Touch!
Touch!
Heavy footsteps from the flank of the battlefield sounded, with the lizard shaman priest more and more frenzied drumming, three monsters appeared on the battlefield. They are about 1.5 meters in width, nearly 3 meters in width, more than 7 meters in length, and have very strong limbs. Their mouth is full of tusks. They look more like an enlarged version of a prehistoric giant crocodile!
"Giant lizard!" Altoria''s face was heavy, and she held her hand to Murphy.
But to her surprise, the appearance of the giant lizard and the arrival of a large number of reinforcements did not shake the man. His expression was still calm, and his eyes looking at the battlefield were as calm and firm as ever. Inexplicable, even her slightly flustered mind also settled down.
This man really has a special temperament to influence others in the battlefield!
……
The appearance of the giant lizard made the morale of the lizard soldiers almost burst. They held their weapons high and howled and provoked the Athenian army.
However, the quiet silence of the enemy made the general of these lizards feel a little uneasy. Although he tried to attack the morale of the enemy again and again, he did not attack immediately because the enemies were so calm. Calm to almost weird general, just like ignoring their large number of people, as well as this giant lizard such as the war beast. They are still boring step forward, strict discipline, line neat, without the slightest noise, just like a whole general!
"Flagman!"
When the lizard''s morale was about to burst, Murphy finally gave the order.
The flag bearers of the two wings of the army rushed out, and the infantry of the silver shield army retreated from the battlefield divided into two parts to protect the two wings of the Greek spear square array. As the battle goes on, the center of the battlefield is the corpse of a lizard warrior, and some lizards who have been pierced by heavy javelin are wailing, but no one will pay attention to them at this time.
The enemy''s drums were still loud.
There was a sneer on Murphy''s mouth. He raised his hand and pressed it down heavily!
war drum?
The Athenian army never needed any drums!
With Murphy''s hands pressed down, the Greek heavy infantry raised their shields and spears, and then smashed them together!
——Bang!!!
The sudden loud noise makes the lizard priest who is in a state of madness like taking some medicine shake his hand, and the beat of the drum is in a mess, and people are swaying in the wind. The loud sound of the collision of shield and spear formed an echo on the battlefield, which immediately suppressed the lizard man''s excited and frenzied howl.
silent!
Before that, those lizard soldiers who were excited because of the arrival of reinforcements seemed to be strangled by life. Their weapons were still held high in the air, but the half howl in their voice was stifled, and then they were choked alive.
People also like a general stand in a daze.
Altoria always pays attention to the changes on the battlefield. After the initial shock, she doesn''t know why to see the lizard man''s expression at the moment. She suddenly wants to laugh.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
One, two, three.
The Greek heavy infantry, holding high their spears and shields, beat out their own drums with the same rhythm!
——"Keep up one''s momentum, and then decline, three and exhaust."
At the moment when lizards were at their height and craze, the "war drum" belonging to Athens instantly choked their high taxi breath in their stomachs, then stifled them, and finally they were stifled by internal injuries!
Three.
Not much at a time, not much at a time.
The Greek heavy infantry stood their shields in front of them, then held their long guns tightly. They didn''t drink high, didn''t shout, and didn''t howl excitedly because they suppressed the enemy''s momentum. They are as silent as ever, just like those Spartan soldiers standing on the battlefield. They stare at the enemy in front of them and march forward with their comrades in arms.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of footsteps made the lizard soldiers feel depressed. The silence of the enemy was like a huge stone in their heart.
On the battlefield.
The Athenian army advanced in silence.
Six hundred steps.
Five hundred steps.
Four hundred steps.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer, and the Athenian army stopped before entering the archer''s range.
"Drink!" The Greek heavy infantry yelled, put their shields on their chests, and aimed their long guns at the suspicious enemy.
……
The girl has been observing and shocked. Until now, she knows what is discipline and what is real army! Her eyes involuntarily looked at the man standing on the battlefield. She finally understood why Athens could defeat the orcs several times as much as herself, and finally understood why Athens rose so fast!
This man
This is his army!!!
to be sonorous!
Murphy drew his sword from his waist, pointed to the slightly uneasy lizard soldiers, and roared, "the God of war is watching us!"
"We are invincible!"
"Power and glory!"
Silent, silent, silent for a long time the Greek soldiers issued a roar!
An invincible momentum swept across the whole battlefield. The soldiers stepped forward with high morale, and their neat steps made the earth tremble. Their eyes were firmly fixed on the enemy, holding the long guns in their hands, and approaching step by step.
I feel uneasy.
Not only did the lizard soldiers feel uneasy, but even the giant lizards were in turmoil as if they were facing a prehistoric beast.
It can''t be delayed any longer.
Otherwise, the army may collapse without attack!
The generals of lizards are very sensitive to this. The morale of their own army has been completely suppressed by the huge momentum of the enemy. If they drag on like this, the soldiers will not have any sense of war. Although it was shocked by the strict discipline of the enemy, it did not think that its army would lose to these weak human beings. Although there was a gap in equipment, it surpassed the enemy in both physique and number.
What''s more, I have shaman priests and the powerful giant lizards.
However, the generals of the lizards did not notice that their shaman priest had been abruptly interrupted by the battle drum ceremony, and then was captured by the huge momentum of the Athenian army. At the moment, he had vomited blood and fell on the ground.
……
---------------------------
800 Greek heavy infantry vs 1500 lizard warriors!
There are not many archers on both sides. After a few waves of arrow rain, the two sides entered a fierce hand-to-hand fight.
The powerful strangulation ability of the Greek phalanx begins to work!
After the wings were protected by the infantry of the silver shield corps, the Greek heavy infantry were able to deal with the enemies in front of them. After learning the strength of the silver shield infantry before, the lizard soldiers also consciously began to avoid the solid rock like silver shield infantry on their flanks, and tried to defeat the enemy''s front line from the front with tall men and horses.
But soon, the bloody facts will tell them how stupid it is to defeat the Greek phalanx from the front!
The high jackals try to do this, and they become corpses.
The orcs tried to do this, and they became corpses.
These lizards are no exception!
The army of Athens grew up in the blood of jackal war, ORC war and large-scale extermination. The blessing of the temple of war, under the whip of the God of war priest, carries on the arduous Spartan training, the blood and sweat has been able to carry capacity! These Athenian soldiers have long grown into real elite!
They are the professional soldiers of this era! And the most professional army!
Their existence is to deal with the war, in order to win!
……
The fierce melee is still in stalemate. For a short time, the lizard soldiers will not understand how fantastic it is to defeat the Greek infantry square from the front. But when they react, the war is almost over.
"One by one, who will solve the problem at the end first and give it to whom."
The battle on the battlefield does not need Murphy to command any more. The experienced Centurion will arrange the battle mode of the whole army. Murphy handed over the command to the new general on one side, then looked at altoria beside him and said in a deep voice: "these giant lizards are too big. If we let them attack the infantry array, I''m afraid our losses will be very serious, so we must solve them before they enter the battlefield! "
"The game?" Altoria''s eyes were so bright that she couldn''t help thinking about it.
But she quickly nodded excitedly, holding her hand on the floor. She is a very strong girl. Although she seems to be a little natural sometimes, it doesn''t mean that she just admits defeat. In fact, when facing Murphy, a strong man, she always seems to be stuck in her heart. Today has the opportunity to redeem the inferiority, raises eyebrows, the idea is accessible, cannot help her in the heart is not slightly excited.
She has. Although there are many restrictions on the use of its powerful power, the sword itself is extremely sharp.
The girl had foreseen her victory now.
This time, the priesthood of war did not go with him. Although the Spartan conqueror brought him, he had the extraordinary power to quickly kill the giant lizard. At present, only Murphy himself and the girl around him were able to do so. Looking at the girl''s slightly excited appearance, the twinkling light in her eyes and her unyielding stubbornness, Murphy shook her head and gave a smile.
Then, he picked up three heavy javelin, the whole person just like a quick cheetah general leap out!
"Cunning man!"
Obviously, because of reverie in her heart, the girl who has been slow for half a beat quickly keeps up with her.
