Chapter 448: last blow
Seeing the Synthetic Beast Corps devouring the bodies of their comrades, the Thracian soldiers couldn't bear it any longer.
The soldiers of the Mountain Legion were better, but the soldiers who originally belonged to the left and right flanks were emotionally unstable because of the defeat. After being stimulated, they could no longer restrain their emotions, roaring, roaring, and rushing out desperately. .
After losing the battle, they endured it.
Taking refuge in the Mountain Legion, they endured.
Nearly breathless after being beaten by the monstrous big dogs, they endured.
But they can't stand the sight in front of them, they can't watch their friends and relatives die and be eaten by monsters!
Seeing that the synthetic beasts began to tear apart and devour the corpses of the Thracian army, the strings in these soldiers' brains finally broke, and the pressure that had been accumulating until now finally broke down the dams built by reason, sending them into a frenzy. .
Of course, there are also many soldiers who are not mad, but the opposite. Seeing those monsters tearing and devouring the bodies of their comrades, they were frightened and apprehensive. Even in the camp of the mountain army, their hearts were full of fear, and many people were even slowly retreating.
On the city wall of the Iron Chain Fortress, Duke Cyrus watched this scene and said with a sneer: "Whether it's rushing up or retreating, it's all over. After this battle, they are just a burden to the Mountain Legion."
"The premise is that they have to survive." Aaron said coldly, "I wasn't sure if they dared to go all out before. But now... I have absolute certainty that they will die as soon as they come up. How many!"
Duke Cyrus nodded: "Synthetic beasts are good at melee combat, and they can quickly recover and even become stronger by devouring corpses. They have already suffered heavy losses, and even positional warfare can only be defended by the assistance of the Mountain Legion. Now they actually take the initiative. What's the difference between rushing out and being sent to death?"
He thought for a while, and then said, "I'm a little hesitant now. I don't know if I should hope they are alive? Or should I hope they die?"
"Dead, of course," said Aaron. "Dead Thracians are good Thracians, aren't they?"
The Duke of Cyrus smiled: "You are right, dead Thracians are good Thracians!"
The officers on the wall also laughed.
"Master is right!"
"Dead Thracians are good Thracians, that makes perfect sense!"
"I'm going to pass this on as a motto!"
They were in a good mood, but the Thracians were in a bad mood.
Seeing the remnants of the left and right armies either charging wildly, or flinching, Duke Pidutz couldn't help but feel discouraged even though he was mentally prepared.
(I knew I wouldn't be with them! Or I could just split up with them, even if I came to the fortress by myself, it wouldn't be like this!)
He sighed secretly and ordered the troops not to attack, to be on guard and maintain the front line.
The mountain legion's specialty is defense. As long as the central army is firmly held, this battle will not be defeated. As for those who rushed out...he really couldn't care less.
After a while, the Thracian army who charged furiously and the synthetic beasts became a group.
Just as Aaron and Duke Cyrus said, when they fought each other, the Thracian army was completely vulnerable in front of the synthetic beasts.
The vitality of synthetic beasts is too strong, and most Thracian troops have no way to inflict real fatal wounds on them. No matter how angry they are, how desperate they are, and how they swing their weapons with all their strength, at best they will leave a few deep wounds on these monsters that have grown to the height of their chests. These wounds look hideous and terrifying. It is absolutely deadly on humans, but for them, it is just a small injury that can be recovered after retreating to eat a few bites of meat and resting a little.
On the contrary, the damage caused by the synthetic beasts to the Thracian army is real, and there is no discount at all.
So, just a few minutes later, many of the Thracian troops who rushed up and desperately fell.
Seeing this scene, the nobles from all walks of life became anxious, and came to Duke Pieduc one after another, asking him to send troops to rescue them—those who dared to rush out were the elites of their respective armies. If even this group of people is lost, they don't talk about fighting with others. If there is a bandit in the territory, they may not have enough strength to destroy it.
But they couldn't see Duke Pieduts at all. The Duke had already issued a strict order that no one, except the messengers, should approach the podium without being summoned. Violators would be killed without mercy!
The strictness of the "mountain" army is well known to the Thracian nobles. In the face of the murderous Pieduc family guards who drew their swords, not even a noble dared to take the risk to see if they would really attack.
As a result, they could only watch the hot-blooded men who rushed up to them fall down one by one in front of the monsters who seemed to be immortal, and turned into food for the monsters.
After a while, in addition to the wind on the battlefield, there was only the sound of synthetic beasts biting, eating and roaring.
Watching them tear and devour their comrades one after another, the left and right armies turned pale, and they were completely unable to raise their fighting spirit, and many people even lay on the ground and vomited. Even the soldiers of the Pieduc army were frowning, their hearts heavy and full of unease.
They are not blind, and naturally they can see that after these monsters devoured another batch of corpses, their strength has been improved again.
Facing the previous monsters, they were already quite stressed. Although the number of monsters is much smaller now, their strength has improved a lot... In general, I am afraid that the battle will be more difficult.
As they guessed, when the synthetic beasts finally ate all the corpses of the left and right armies, their bodies had grown to the point where they were close to ordinary adult men. Their strength has become much larger than ordinary people, and their physical defenses have also been greatly improved. When they re-charged the Pieduts army's position, even though the Pieduts army was well prepared, they were used to their strong bodies. It was knocked back again and again, almost unable to stabilize the battle line.
What's more terrifying is that after they knocked back the Pieduc army, they also dragged away the corpses of the previously killed monsters, and then swaggered to eat them and became stronger.
"Sir, this is not the way to go!" On the podium, the staff whispered, "Although it can stand it now, if those guys continue to grow bigger and stronger, it will be difficult to stabilize the battle line. At that time If they rush in, of course our people are not afraid of melee, but those who retreated before... are afraid of bad things!"
Duke Pieduc's face was sinking: "Then let them get out of here!"
"Now...they dare not leave our camp."
"If you don't want to leave, let their guards also go to the front line to stabilize the front line with our people!"
The staff's eyes lit up and immediately conveyed the order.
Faced with the critical situation, the nobles had no choice but to send out the guards who had been guarding by their side.
On the city wall of the iron lock fortress, seeing that the brightly armored and well-equipped guards also joined the front line and stabilized the front line again, the officers of Mo Lai were not worried at all, but laughed.
"The Thracians are out of luck!"
"Even the guards are on, they are desperate!"
"Fighting with a bunch of dogs, how funny!"
Among the laughter, only Duke Cyrus remained serious. He stared at the inextricable battle again, and drew his sword coldly.
"Brev Sellers!"
"Yes!" Brave answered loudly.
"The Thracians' combat power has reached its limit. I order you to lead the First Army of the Commonwealth Cavalry to attack the Thracian positions head-on and give them the final blow!" said Duke Cyrus murderously. Come back with the honor of breaking the mountain', or don't come back!"
Brave smiled, his smile full of confidence: "Yes!"
