Chapter 510: Chaos and Turmoil
Chapter 510 Chaos and Turmoil
These soldiers, who looked like ordinary people, suddenly twisted and swelled up after stepping into the river, as if they were foaming. Immediately afterwards, a crystal ball of ice spread out near them, and soon it became a piece and protruded out of the water, forming a wide ice bridge along the remaining piers.
At the same time, the artillerymen in front were all twisted and turned into monsters one after another. They were wrapped around the cannon and formed various strange shapes, some like eight-legged spiders, some like caterpillars, and some like beetles. The ... carrying cannons in various ways, as if grotesquely shaped tanks were heading towards the opposite side along the ice bridge.
The human army on the opposite side was dumbfounded. They thought they were just ordinary rioting rebels, but they didn't expect to encounter such a strange situation.
Originally, this blocking force was not an elite force, it was just an ordinary local garrison force. It was okay to deal with some rebels and mobs, but it did not have a strong will to fight in the face of a real strong enemy, especially those 'monster chariots' are hideous. It was huge, almost like a devil in a dream, and instantly lowered the morale of the defenders, and even some recruits were trembling, and the rifles in their hands were unsteady and dropped on the ground.
The commander of this troop did not expect this to happen. His expression was serious, his brows were furrowed, and he muttered to himself: "Damn, that **** didn't say that the enemy is these monsters!"
"Sir, what should we do?" the staff officer next to him asked in a low voice, with a slight tremolo in his voice, obviously also very scared.
The commander glanced at the soldiers nearby. These were his guards, and they were considered elite troops. They were all frightened enough, and those ordinary soldiers were even more talked about. As the commander of this unit, he knows the virtues of his subordinates very well, and he also knows how much free wages he usually eats. The training is also three days of fishing and two days of netting, expecting them to fight against those ugly and ferocious monsters! Do not make jokes…
"I ordered..." The commander bit his lip and finally gave the order: "The entire team retreats and sends someone to contact the opposite side. This is a misunderstanding."
"Yes sir!" Everyone nearby who heard the order breathed a sigh of relief, and conveyed the order at an unprecedented speed, for fear that a little late, some soldiers would be too nervous, or the guns had misfired.
From the perspective of Duke Frau, the ice bridge has not yet extended to the other side, and even Duke Frau and Major General Hyam are ready to bombard the ice bridge with artillery.
Unexpectedly, the troops on the opposite side were suddenly in chaos, crowded and packed.
"Huh? Your Highness, they seem to be retreating." Major General Hyam's keen sense of smell and experience on the battlefield, he sensed the enemy's movements the first time they changed.
Duke Fra also nodded: "It is indeed necessary to retreat, forget it, regardless of them, we will act according to the original plan."
"Yes, Your Highness." Major General Hyam agreed, and did not speed up the progress of the ice bridge, but slowed it down a little, leaving enough time for the opposite side to retreat.
The army of more than 40,000 people retreated in a disorderly manner. If at this moment, Duke Frah speeded up the attack, he could almost 100% defeat the opponent. However, Duke Frau has no interest in these fish belly troops at all. It is the luck of these people that they can escape from the range of the sacrificial circle, and there is no need to kill them all.
After crossing the Gilbasa River, the closest distance between the two troops was less than 300 meters. The transformation troops did not seem to see more than 40,000 people not far away. The human troops who retreated from the river were downcast, with fear in their eyes, and at the same time they were glad that they did not need to fight such an enemy.
Those transformed people have also returned to human form, and the transformation state consumes a lot of spiritual energy. These transformed people have no divine power core, and there is no way to maintain their transformation for a long time.
At this time, in the city of Ferul, more than 100 kilometers away, a force of more than 20,000 people was digging the trenches with a numb expression.
This is not far from Ferul City, and you can clearly see a huge translucent light curtain that goes straight to the sky encompassing Ferul City. The light curtain stretches across the outskirts of the city, forming a clear-cut scene. Outside the light curtain are normal buildings and streets, but the inside has turned into a rubble. Destroyed in an instant, the soul wailed, slammed into the light curtain frantically, revealing a twisted and hideous face.
These troops who are still guarding here have received orders from their superiors to establish defense lines on the spot.
By this time, most of the soldiers have been scared and stupid, and they have no idea what is going on in this world? Is it the end of the world? Or the punishment of the gods to humans? Their brains were blank, like walking dead. They didn't even know who the so-called superiors were, but they were just numb and mechanically executing the so-called orders.
As for why there is no collapse and escape, it is because these soldiers have long been controlled by soul magic, just like the original barbarian tribe.
Hours later, the striker of Duke Frau appeared on the distant horizon.
At this time, the defenders of Ferul City had just finished digging the trenches and had not had time to establish further firepower points. It was too late now. The officer immediately ordered to enter the trenches to prepare.
Watching Duke Frau's army laying out a few hundred meters away, a voice suddenly rang out through amplification magic: "Duke Frau, are you going to betray the kingdom? You are His Majesty's younger brother, the duke appointed by the kingdom. , it is still too late to surrender, the merciful Your Majesty will forgive you!"
"It's Marquis Hildo!" Major General Hyam heard the voice of the caller.
"Let's start! Whoever prevents me from resurrecting Isabel must be ready to face death." Duke Fra said with a blank expression, the reason why he came here is to borrow a node of the sacrificial circle, from which Intercepting the spiritual energy of the sacrificial circle and using it to complete the ritual of resurrecting his wife, no one can stop him at this point...
in the east of the void world.
The first city wall of the Eastern Fortress still failed to withstand the impact of the army of millions of undead. After the fierce battle, it was completely lost, and the human army retreated to the second city wall in the fortress.
In less than three days of fighting, the loss of the human legion of the Eastern Bulwark exceeded one-fifth, and the undead legion of the Spider Queen also launched a fierce attack in the rear.
Although the spider queen's undead army is far less numerous than the ghost king's army, the west of the eastern barrier is far less easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, the constant bad news from the human kingdom makes the hearts of the defenders fluctuate. Desperate emotions spread, and the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Eastern Barrier fell.
Moreover, at this time, the major lords of the undead kingdom received orders from Princess Mulesina at the same time.
In an instant, if millions of undead gather to the east barrier as crazy as the locust swarm, this time it is not the undead lords who go their separate ways, but the wishes of Princess Mulesina. In a short period of time, more than five million undead troops have gathered to the east. barrier.
Originally, when the human defenders saw the undead army under the city wall, whose size had been reduced to less than half of the original, they could still hold hope for victory in their hearts. But just this morning, in the direction of the rising sun, with the first rays of sunlight, an undead army appeared on the horizon, and then there was a black line that couldn't see the edge. .
Moreover, just above the undead army, a terrifying bone dragon appeared!
After the transformation, the bone dragon Mahabam, who was completely advanced to the natural disaster grade, became larger, almost 120 meters long. The huge bone wings spread out to cover the sky and the sun, and the bones were surrounded by dense, like a real powerful spirit. can.
Above Mahabam's head, Princess Mulesina was wearing a long and elegant dress, holding a long golden staff with a cold expression, standing on the platform between the two rows of dragon horns above the head of the bone dragon.
"Soldiers, this is no longer a war between humans and the undead, let's get out of the way! You have proved your courage and belief, and this will not damage your honor." Princess Mulesina stared blankly at the people below. The fortress, the moment Mahabam and her appeared, the battlefield fell into a strange silence, and the fighting stopped abruptly.
The human soldiers standing on the walls of the fortress and fighting **** battles looked at the behemoth in the sky and the powerful and beautiful woman like a **** with complex expressions.
According to reason, in this void world, the endless war between the human kingdom and the undead kingdom originates from this woman, and they should hate it, but at this moment, seeing Princess Mulesina with their own eyes, some of them are afraid, some are yearning, Some are silent, some worship, but very few dare to show hatred.
"Okay, everything is over!" The top commander of the Eastern Bulwark sighed, adjusted the military cap on his head, and said in a leisurely manner: "I order, stop resisting, and open the city gate!"
"Squeaky" The heavy cast iron city gate slowly opened with the help of gears and huge bearings.
More than ten years later, the easternmost fortress of the human kingdom has opened its doors again, but this time, it is not the undead army that slaughtered everything, but the undead army that passed through in an orderly manner, not long ago. The two sides in the desperate battle seemed to have become friendly forces at this moment, and the humans standing on the city wall watched the endless stream of undead pass through the eastern barrier as if there was no end.
After Princess Mulesina's undead army passed the eastern fortress, they immediately merged with the spider queen's army and marched towards the hinterland of the human kingdom...
