Chapter 1042
Xiong Yingwang, standing on the unnamed high ground in the valley of blood corpses, did not pay attention to the silhouette of the giant dragon roaring away in the air. Instead, he focused his attention on the other side of the battlefield. one place.
Byrne Knight.
These warriors who are riding "stalled horses" (elves do not have such domestic animals), fully armed, using long swords, lance throwing spears, and crossbow arrows and bows, can actually watch the front row. Compatriots turned into blood in the carrion magic sea, and still face doesn't change-shouting slogans, and go to death calmly.
If this is the case, it will not make dignified Xiong Yingwang look sideways; but if you can maintain discipline and obey orders and instructions when you calmly go to death... it will be a little frightening.
He saw with his own eyes the little black cavalry with two daggers and black hair. After defeating his first round attack, he was not angry, let alone led the soldiers to continue the charge; instead, they formed the team and gathered up. The defeated soldiers then reorganized their formation and retreated step by step to a high slope to support the infantry in the back row.
While not being chaotic in battle, not being surprised at everything, while having your own judgment, you will not be proficient in the arrangement and arrangement of the commander, and the order will be accurately conveyed to the most basic level warrior. It is really...
p>Even the best warrior is only this.
"You are still in the mood to appreciate the enemy?"
tart and mean, a mocking voice rang in Xiong Yingwang's ears: "The only thing in your hand that can be with the giant Dragon's contending trump card, but it has been scattered ashes and dispersed smoke."
Diabo, the "ender" in the four Evil Gods.
"It doesn't matter, it has completed its mission." Xiong Yingwang indifferently smiled, seemingly indifferent: "Because it...the enemy giant dragon has also been seriously injured and can no longer cover their fragility. It’s an unbearable Defensive Array."
"They...probably don’t even reach 10,000, right? I have 300,000 warriors who are not afraid of life and death."
"It’s two One hundred seventy thousand."
Luton, the "unbelievers" of the Four Evil Gods couldn't bear to say: "There were a lot of people who were affected just now, plus they were buried by avalanches, and were crushed by cavalry...no less than 30,000. "
"That's dozens of times more than them!"
Xiong Yingwang's mouth is a little confident: "What's more, here is the valley of blood skeletons in the glacier wasteland, where dead people are buried everywhere. There is no shortage of troops—if necessary, I can use the carrion corpse to pave a way out of the Valley of Blood Skeletons!"
"If so...what are you going to use to fight the empire? , Your Majesty Xiong Yingwang?" Diabo of tart and mean deliberately emphasized the word "Your Majesty":
"Be alone, go to meet the remaining ten giant dragons in the Battle Emperor country and kill The vows of immortality, Knights?"
"Maybe, maybe I should walk to the Imperial Capital alone-the lair of the holy cross's lackeys, asking the emperor to surrender to me, to end this absurdity and greatness War."
"Impossible, the Holy Cross is not consciousness, and there is no concept of surrender." Luton-"The Ender" opened the mouth and said: "If you do this, the only The end of the game can only be..."
"It can only be completely wiped out——I know, just joking, don’t take it seriously."
The happy Xiong Yingwang, even There is leisure to joke: "Of course, the most important thing now is to capture the Valley of Blood Skeletons as soon as possible, and block this group in front of me, worthy opponents..."
"All kill them all. !"
…………………………
"Imperial people, prepare for war——!"
Count Eckert's sword in the Castle of Fury Li Li, personally stood at the forefront of the infantry array and commanded the battle, staring at the tens of thousands of carrion demons who had already attacked like a tide under the high ground.
boundless!
Eckert count couldn’t help sighed then said—if he could, he actually wanted to command the cavalry, that’s what he was best at; up and down Byrne, only the Western Rock Fort was headed The Knights are good at wielding big swords and fighting enemies with their feet on the ground.
Unfortunately... the protagonist of this Battle of the Blood Skeleton Valley is not destined to be the cavalry. Once the infantry line collapses, it means that the entire battle is completely over; only thousands of defenders have to be Such a massacre ended.
"Ballistas, three hundred steps-ready!"
The heavy ballistas behind the line began to operate; each ballista had at least ten engineers in front of them. Under the command of the officer, they carried alchemy bombs and crossbow arrows made of steel, and placed them in the launching position in an orderly manner.
"Shooting——!"
Amid the uniform roar, the carrion demons rushing in the front row fell down like wheat in a row-screaming like ice cracks In the sound, the carrion demon that was hit was shattered into pieces and scattered into one place.
If it were an army composed of humans, in the face of such a large casualty, it would not continue to try to attack the high ground; but the carrion demons are not humans, or even "alive"; they still remain unmoved. The fragments of the ground continued to rush towards the top of the hillside.
A hundred steps!
Amidst the endless strikes and explosions, the green-faced Fury Castle count suddenly raised his right hand and waved downward. The crossbowmen immediately stepped forward, formed a line in front of the infantry phalanx, and poured arrows on the carrion demons high underground.
Generally speaking, arrows, such weapons, do little damage to carrion demon energy, far inferior to the effects that can be caused by slashing, but...that's just "usual"...
"Boom————!!!"
The flames dance!
The arrows of the Defenders of the Blood Skeleton Valley are all immersed in powerful ignitant—not to mention that they can be directly ignited even if they are exposed to violent friction in the air.
In the endless flames and roar, the defenders of the Blood Skeleton Valley standing behind the shield wall could only see large swathes of fire and smoke, as well as the continuous splashing of snow.
If it is really "Flying Snow"...
30 steps!
The screaming carrion demons rushed out of the flames, and aggressively rushed to the seemingly thin line of the defenders.
"Face the enemy——!"
The roaring Eckert count picked up the battle halberd and smashed the first carrion monster under the protection of the shield wall. Broken ice particles.
"Long live the empire————!!!"
Under the roaring "black city wall", the icy battle halberd pierced out like straws, row by row It smashed into the carrion demons who swarmed like a gear.
The sharp halberd blade split their shoulders and heads, and the sharp tip of the halberd penetrated their torso. The iron-clad shield withstood their charge and forcibly knocked them back.
The ice-like sharp claw penetrated through the gap between the shield walls, ripped apart the armor of the defenders, pierced their front door, crushed their throats... the deadly shield There was no sound inside the wall, and the fallen soldiers never stood up again. The soldiers in the back row propped up their shields and changed their positions.
"Long live the empire————!!!"
The uniform shouts echoed above the valley of blood skeletons.
After resisting the first round attack of the carrion demons, the Legion soldiers standing at the forefront were very skillful and began to change platoons-the severely wounded retreated to the end of the line, with light and no injuries. The soldiers rotate, the soldiers in the back row are moved to the front row, and the new "shield wall" is re-supported.
This kind of orderly "platoon change" tactics is, in a sense, the fundamental reason why the empire’s "black city wall" has extraordinary endurance for heavy infantry.
But such tactics generally have two prerequisites-first, they must have absolute protection from the flanks;
There is no doubt that there are cliffs on both sides of the hillside. There are trenches dug by the defenders; there is no need to worry about the flanks before the carrion demons fill up the barbed trenches or pile up the cliffs.
Secondly, it is out of defense rather than offensive arrays, which can provide treatment and replacement weapons for the replaced soldiers.
This is no problem. The highlands on the two hillsides are the Defensive Array, which the Defensive Array of Blood Skeleton Valley has been operating for several days. Everything that can be done is ready, and even the route of the gradual retreat has been prepared properly. .
If you look carefully, you can even see a short "snow wall" that only reaches the knee position in front of the first row of the defending army's phalanx-all made of condensation, with Covered with snow and ice.
This thing was used by Loren to make fortifications during the Battle of the Great Green Sea to resist the charge of the centaur. The effect is trustworthy; a short wall is enough to offset most of the carrion demons who climbed up. Our impact.
And this seemingly "thin layer" wall has another function.
Fire line.
"Ballista, fire--!"
Dozens of black shadows passed over the shield wall and hit among the carrion demons;
The crossbowmen standing in the back row also put down their crossbow arrows and acted as "grenadiers", roaring vigorously to throw one after another clay pots at the carrion demons who were still swarming.
At the moment of hitting, the crisp clay pots made a cracking sound, and the yellow-brown liquid scattered like clear water.
"Firelighter, launch——!"
Boom——————! ! ! !
Beyond the retaining wall, there is a fire sea.
The flame is like substantial water, raging crazily in the carrion demon, swallowed-no screams, let alone wailing; the carrion demon wrapped in the flame instantly turned into scorched fragments; scattered The burning debris continued to swallow the next target.
Obviously there is already a fire sea in front, and the carrion demons in the back row are still stepping into the flames frantically; or being knocked into trenches or squeezed off the cliff; the flame... An insurmountable barrier stood in front of them and the defenders of the Blood Skeleton Valley.
Of course, on the other hand, before the flame goes out, the Blood Skeleton Guards are also impossible to launch any counterattack.
Eckert count relaxed —— This "wall of fire" may give the bloodskeleton defenders about a quarter of an hour to rest; a quarter of an hour...enough to wait for the cavalry to come back for reinforcements and let the Horn Fort Floating Void City arrived at the reserved spot.
The next thing to do is to keep repeating the previous steps, knocking down the carrion monsters again and again, and then infinite cycle; the enemy’s strength may be infinite, but this is thousands of things regardless of the consequences. Wan is over, and it is impossible to make the opposite Evil God not feel distressed at all.
Then, wait for the reinforcements to arrive, and then completely fight the monsters.
Of course...The premise is that there will be reinforcements.
After deciding on the decisive battle in the Blood Skeleton Valley, Eckert did not send messengers for help to the Duanjieshan Fortress, but included two Byrne Knights, a Fiend Hunter, and five Hussars. Inside, there was no news; even after the first replenishment, no army or messenger from the fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain had appeared.
In other words, the current fortress of Broken Boundary Mountain is very likely...also under siege from the Azores elves, and all roads are blocked by the elven warriors.
Under such circumstances, unless the fortress miraculously defeated the Azores two days ago, and immediately led at least 20,000 troops northward, the Blood Skeleton Guards simply could not get any assistance.
But such a miracle...I think it is impossible to think about it
A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Act Count's mouth, but it was quickly forgotten.
"The whole army rests on the spot, be on guard!" Fury Castle count turned his head and shouted at the infantry behind him: "Bowmen, keep the fire set and shoot once every one minute, prepare..."
As soon as the arm was swung down, a burst of coldness suddenly hit.
"Hoo——————"
The cold wind mixed with dust is like a cyclone on the ground. The Legion soldiers in the first row almost immediately dragged the Fury Castle count back. After reaching the shield wall, he gritted his teeth and held the shield.
In an instant, the air wave gradually stopped.
Brows tightly knit's anger fort count cautiously pushed away the shield wall in front of him, staring at the opposite side of the low wall vigilantly.
The fire sea went out, leaving only the bits and pieces of residue still burning in the ashes.
But the screaming carrion demons didn't immediately rush forward desperately like just now.
Standing in the fire sea, is an old man with hair and beard all white holding his two-handed battle axe upside down.
He was naked, with only ragged linen pants and a leather belt covering his body that looked decayed. He was barefoot, and his sturdy body stood in the embers like an Iron Pagoda; his head was lowered, but Staring at every move on the other side.
On the chest, there is a cross-shaped black mark like a scar.
Behind him, even the nearest carrion demon "hides" ten steps away from him.
"In Xia Quego, I am an attendant serving the tyrannical Govayt. I extend my sincerest greetings to all of you who have been appointed as enemies by the great four gods!"
The next second, he lifts the head abruptly, his icy gaze as if watching a dead person, shocked all the blood skeletal valley defenders, as if they were being stared at by some kind of terrifying wild beast!
He raised the battle axe, stepped on the embers under his feet, step by step, and walked towards the shield wall, as if entering a man’s land, he raised his battle axe with both hands, aiming at it, still in horror. The count of Fury Castle among them......
Slammed down.
"Clang————!"
The two daggers that crossed into a cross shape, at the last moment, held up the blade of the battle axe.
"Hurry up!"
The skinny gray-eyed boy was panting, but he couldn't help but cocked his mouth: "Finally... this time the weapon did not become The ice is broken!"
Count Eckert, Fortress of Fury, who has not recovered from the shock, heard a loud bugle ringing under the hillside, and thunderous horseshoes. Voice.
In the roar of the cavalry charge, the carrion demons fell in pieces, all split up and in pieces.
The Byrne Knights who defeated the carrion demons' first attack are coming back!
"Who are you?"
Looking at the youngster blocking his battle axe, the Evil God apostle coldly asked directly.
Then Lu Sien’s answer was more direct than his:
"The one who killed you!"
