Chapter 5: The Battle of the Ice Fields
Early the next morning, under Charlotte's command, the Icewind Castle Legion launched a general assault.
Compared to the armies of the rest of the nations, the Icewind Castle Legion is extremely modern. Although there are many troops of various races such as drows, forest elves, minotaurs, barbarians, and hill giants, these classes are not the main force that the legion relies on the most.
The real workhorse is an army of golems and golems.
In the endless ice field, the Icewind Castle Legion takes up a position, with an army of golems of various shapes occupying the middle lane, most notably mechanical golems that imitate Alpha and Omega. The giant eight-arthropod spider resembles a fortress of war, and a humanoid golem known for its dexterity raises a great sword. In addition, those brain-opening mages have also created all kinds of strange creations, including spherical floating turrets, octopus-shaped monsters, and beast-like agility puppets......
These non-standard golems are either strong or vulnerable to design flaws, and the mages have used the war as a test of debugging, with rows of mechanical armies forming majestic formations, albeit limited by precise manipulation and not neatly formed formations. But seeing this terrifying legion, the barbarian and orc legions in the battle of the back still gasped.
The troops of all races are interspersed in the Mechamp Legion as special auxiliary units in the Icewind Castle Legion, Drow is responsible for assassinating elite officers, Forest Elves are responsible for sniping, Minotaurs are responsible for charging with the Mechamp Legion, Hill Giants are responsible for fighting the diehards, Icewind Castle Mages are in charge of the Mecha Golem Legion and are responsible for casting spells to destroy the enemy's formation, and Charlotte and other strong men are responsible for solving the enemy's high-end forces.
The Icewind Castle Legion has a clear division of labor, and everyone's face is full of confidence in victory. The mechanized legion created by magic has made the battle loss ratio of Icewind Castle's previous wars extremely low, with about 1,000 mages participating in the battle, but the mechanical golem legion has nearly 10,000. Unlike the Molten Iron Castle Rune Mage's precise operation, the Icewind Castle Mage uses a central control system to control the puppets, although the action is not precise enough, and is more controlled by the AI system set up, but a mage can often control multiple puppets, which has an absolute advantage in numbers compared to the Molten Iron Castle Rune Mage.
The two armies face each other on the ice field, and from a high altitude, the Icewind Fort Legion is majestic and mighty, and the Mechanized Legion is very sci-fi, and each unit is interspersed with the mechanical puppet legion, just like the sci-fi war in Charlotte's previous life movie.
On the other side, the barbarians and the combined orc legions fought against each other, and these warriors were bare-chested and scarred in the ice and snow. Although the army is scattered, the warriors on the verge of extinction are full of anger and hatred like trapped beasts.
The two sides faced off against the ice field, and there was a sense of tragedy and grandeur of the colonizers against the natives.
But Charlotte, as the commander of the whole army, was unmoved, and he was not good at fighting large armies, so he did not do his best, and issued orders to the Inner Ring Council.
"Attack with all your troops!"
A series of orders were issued by the commander in charge of the war, and with Charlotte's order, the Icewind Castle Corps began to operate like a sophisticated instrument.
The war is imminent, everyone's puppet control center is connected to the terminal system, and the commander of the legion gives orders on the terminal, and the instant feedback information is many times more efficient than the traditional war. With the command, the Spider Golem Legion as an assault force was activated first, and those cold steel buzzed like countless bee swarms resounding through the ice field. Creaking sounded everywhere, and the mechanical arthropods quickly clinged to the ice field, the ice shook violently, and the giant mechanical spiders swung their arthropods and charged at the enemy.
The barbarian and orc alliance roared in the sky, the bows and arrows of the northern ice fields were not easy to maintain, and the warriors who lacked long-range attack methods could only rely on brute force to throw boulders at the mechanical legion. But Icewind Castle's blows followed, with the mage's whimsical floating golem firing high-energy rays, mountain giants throwing human-tall boulders, drow and forest elves clinging to mechanical spiders to snipe with precision, and low-level mages firing fireballs......
The long-range counterattack of the barbarian and orc forces was suppressed, and the fierce warriors poured their last sip of spirit, screamed to the sky and hammered their chests, and launched a counter-charge at the Icewind Castle Legion with heavy weapons in hand.
The black tide collided head-on, bursting into scarlet waves in an instant. The Mechanical Spider Legion wields a razor-sharp crow that can cut a person in half with a single slash. Filled with grief and indignation, the alien warriors hammered the joints of the mechanical spiders with heavy weapons, and they surrounded the killing mechanical spiders like ants, and when the joints were destroyed, they climbed onto the spider's huge body and struck the center with their war hammers.
"Humanoid Golem Assault!"
The Commander of Icewind gave another order, and the message was quickly reached to the mage's control center, and the mage was ordered to begin driving the human-sized humanoid golem into battle. Although these monsters are not as good as Charlotte's scrapped Alpha and Omega, they possess considerable dexterity and strength. Puppet warriors wielding swordsmanship into the arena and work with the mechanical spiders to slay down the enemy. The enemy that had been scattered by the mechanical spider could not form an effective defensive formation, and was killed in an instant.
There is no need for the battle with Erossa, there are not many barbarian and orc troops, and most of them are berserkers with amazing brute strength. It's okay to face ordinary legions, but once they encounter a magical legion like Icewind Castle, which has accumulated thousands of years, they can't form an effective threat at all.
Charlotte, Demma, Dinah and other Inner Ring Mages observed the battlefield, and although it seemed that the victory was in hand, none of the Inner Ring Mages let up.
Yesterday, the latest news was found that the barbarians and orcs have received support from the church. Although they knew that it would be difficult to get strong support in the embarrassing situation of these two races, which could be called an old enemy, the church could be called an old enemy, and the top management of Icewind Castle did not dare to ignore it.
The new master of Tata, Illya, had a tense face, and he observed the situation for a moment. Unlike Charlotte, she is technically supposed to belong to the Academy mage. Although she has participated in many battles with Icewind Castle over the years, she will be so nervous that she will lose sleep before each battle.
Those academic mages were more or less nervous, and although they had been winning in the past two years, their comfortable habits could not be changed in a moment. But it is gratifying that because of the great benefits after the war, these mages gradually changed their conservative attitudes, and they gradually became eager for war. No, to be precise, the desire for great benefits after victory in the war.
Charlotte is happy to see this happen, and Dema and Dinah disagree, but they also admit that it is necessary to deal with future threats. The lords of the inner ring council of Icewind Castle have gradually reached a consensus, so that they have the power to suppress the ice fields now.
The scales of victory gradually tilted in favor of the Icewind Castle Legion, and at this time, the battlefield took on a new turn. A group of battle priests stepped onto the battlefield armed with maces and wielding holy lights, chanting hymns and unleashing buffs on barbarian and orc warriors, and those warriors who had fallen into a state of frenzy were blessed by divine magic, gradually regaining their sanity, and the originally powerless counterattack became an organization.
The power of the magic allowed the coalition to survive the crisis, the priests chanted the magic spells to destroy the mechanical legions, the drow warriors in charge of sniping pestered the priests, and the mage group of Icewind Castle began to exert their forces in unison.
But Charlotte and the others still didn't move, they knew that it was not yet time for a decisive battle. (https:)
