Chapter 1042 (1/2)
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.
