Chapter 785: Absolute Gap
The gnolls and werewolves that surrounded them like a tidal wave began to stop howling, and they fell quietly to the ground, neatly moving out of the way that would allow the carriage to pass.
It wasn't neat, it wasn't well-trained, but the actions of these gnolls and werewolves had made all the Yaats present come true, and they might have been too lucky to be more lucky.
The girl on a white horse appeared in front of them unhurriedly, her face expressionless, reminiscent of the long, bitterly cold winter of the entire Northland.
"Attila!"
Budd clenched his teeth and called out the girl's name, a nightmare that all the Jeats could not forget, an enemy engraved in their souls.
If it is peacetime, this is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Attila leaving from the royal palace will be the best goal of the Baltic Empire, the best shortcut to victory in this war.
Without Atila, the Attila Empire would collapse in a very short time, just as the Scandinavian Empire without Siegel would fall overnight.
But now, no one could have predicted that Attila would appear here, and no one could have imagined that this war about Upland would put her in such a dangerous position to leave the safety of the royal city.
Attila didn't answer Bud's words, she looked calmly at the army in front of her that had made her invincible to defeat in every battle, and looked at these unusually embarrassed soldiers.
Are you planning to persuade you to surrender?
Bud was speculating in his heart that he had already begun to think about how to reply to the words, how to use this answer to buy more time without provoking the other person.
With the capabilities of the intelligence services within the empire, now the situation about this war has come to Jutland, appearing on the desks of Alice and Semiramis.
Maybe at this time, Alice has already begun to organize the legend, and on the way here, the Baltic Empire will not watch this army be annihilated like this.
Such losses should be avoided as much as possible if they could be avoided, and no one wanted to see such uncontrolled surprises occur when the Baltic Empire was already on the verge of victory.
It is very unrealistic to delay time, to delay the support of Alice and others, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to cross the Baltic Sea and appear in this land of Uppland in such a short time when the main plane cannot use teleportation magic.
However, Attila did not give him time to speak and communicate, and directly waved his hand, signaling the gnolls and werewolves to attack, no matter what time it was, Atilla did not like nonsense.
The gnolls and werewolves charged directly, and they didn't use the slings or javelins to attack from a distance first, as they normally would, because they all knew that there was not much time left for them.
They knew that such an approach would result in extremely heavy casualties, but they valued more than casualties to be able to annihilate these enemies here and achieve victory.
There are many reasons why the gnolls and werewolves want to win this battle, the main of which is that Attila is behind them.
They hope that through this battle, their abilities will be valued by Attila, and they hope that through this attention, they can get more say in the Attila Empire.
The gnolls and werewolves on all fours quickly charged towards the place where the Yeats were, they did not carry out the most basic defenses, and only hoped to be able to enter the stage of white-knuckle combat as soon as possible.
The Yaats attacked with bows and crossbows, and the central caster turned the surrounding ground into a muddy swamp as fast as they could, using it to slow down the enemy's advance.
The Yaats have given up attacking with javelins, as they save more stamina than javelins.
Their stamina had been almost exhausted in the previous retreat, and even enemies like the Gnolls and Werewolves, who were usually dismissive, could now cause them problems.
However, whether it is the swamp or their bows and arrows, the damage and delay to the gnolls and werewolves are extremely limited, in order to be able to win this battle, the Attila Imperial army that came here are the elite of the elite, have rich combat experience, and know how to deal with the problems faced at this time.
The mud under their feet could not stop their progress, and the arrows of the Yeats were blocked by the small shields in their hands, which were small round shields much smaller than ordinary shields, and at the same time increased their flexibility.
For these experienced soldiers, flexibility is more important than both defense and attack, as flexibility means that they are able to dodge, giving them the possibility of crushing the enemy without taking damage.
They were indeed elite, but the Yayats were also not fuel-efficient, and in order to gain the possibility of capturing the city of Uppland, the Yeats in this army were also battle-hardened.
Under the caster's control, the swamp began to shake, causing the running gnolls and werewolves to stop and retreat in the other direction.
It is impossible for them to turn away, and in such a battlefield, leaving their backs to the enemy in such an unguarded manner is undoubtedly a stupid choice like suicide.
As soon as they left the confines of the swamp, they saw that countless mud had gathered into a humanoid shape, and the caster had used the mud in the swamp to create a clay golem.
These golems are rarely crafted, as they are insignificant other than their ability to regenerate on the land, and their bulky bodies and slow speed make them often overlooked by their enemies.
However, at this time, the appearance of these clay golems made up for the Yeat people's defenses, making it impossible for jackals and werewolves to cross like an impregnable wall.
In this regard, the gnolls and werewolves did not hesitate too much, and launched a direct attack on these clay golems, which have a good regeneration ability, as long as they stand on the ground, they can continuously use the soil to repair their broken bodies.
However, as a construct of the clay golem, their regeneration ability is also limited, to defeat this kind of golem, there are two easiest ways to defeat this kind of golem, directly destroy the core of the golem or cause damage beyond the speed of the golem's regeneration.
Gnolls and werewolves have no choice but to destroy the Golem's core, as this is the fastest and least labor-intensive way, and it is not difficult to do this, as long as the nimble gnolls attract the attention of the golem and create opportunities for the other companions.
They had the ability and tacit understanding to do so, and even though the clay golems had the caster's control, their bulky bodies couldn't handle the nimble gnolls.
Bud twisted his lips tightly, he was now searching in his mind for a solution to the dilemma in front of him, and even in such a desperate time, he did not give up hope.
The Gnolls continued to charge forward after taking out a few clay golems and opening a gap in the bronze wall.
The remaining clay golems, struggling to move their heavy parts and moving their heavy bodies, could not keep up with the speed of the gnolls and werewolves, and could only watch them come to the perimeter of the defensive circle.
At such a close range, the gnolls and werewolves finally suffered casualties, and the small round shields in their hands blocked all the damage, and they looked very weak and vulnerable in the face of the axes thrown by the Yeats at close range.
Despite this, there were still sporadic gnolls and werewolves who broke through the improvised defensive circle built by the Yaats and successfully entered the circle to engage them in a brutal white-knuckle battle.
The battle between the two sides began, and Bud had to leave the front line and come to the place where the spellcaster was, the most heavily guarded center of the entire army, and even if it was breached, it would be the last place to be breached.
Energetic gnolls and werewolves didn't begin to gain the upper hand
Because their opponents, those Yaats, have the support of spellcasters, so that even in a weak state, they can still exert good combat effectiveness and still be able to hold out for a long time.
The casters have stopped casting spells themselves, they need time to rest and prepare for the powerful Attila as a result, and now the support for the front-line soldiers comes from the magic scrolls that have been made.
These magic scrolls are all materials that are mass-produced in the Empire, and they were originally used on the battlefield as a war preparation, and it can be said that every time the Empire goes on an expedition, the so-called advantage comes from the accumulation of money.
Seeing the stalemate on the battlefield, Atila's eyebrows casually raised, and next to her, the quiet statue-like herald nodded, and conveyed her order.
The Baltic Empire's army has the support of spellcasters, and the army of the Attila Empire also has spellcasters, who can also provide magical support to gnolls and werewolves on the front line, erasing the gap caused by enemy spellcasters.
The Yeats are still so difficult to deal with, whether they were under the leadership of Beowulf or after joining the Baltic Empire, they are worthy of attention on the battlefield.
Even if you are too tired to speak, and you have been seriously injured enough to be injured, you may jump up and die with your weapon in the next second.
However, there are still disadvantages, and even in this world of gods and magic, there are still some things that cannot be changed by the will alone.
After all, the power of magic is still limited, at least in the hands of these spellcasters, their power is limited, and even if they still have magic scrolls, their bodies cannot continue to support the power of magic.
The number of people began to decrease, the intensity of resistance began to decrease, more werewolves and gnolls entered the circle to fight them, and the enemy's combat effectiveness increased.
They picked up the Jutland weapons that had fallen on the ground, and used them to attack the Jeats, which could easily break through the Yeats' defenses.
The gnolls and werewolves, with the support of the spellcasters, spent two hours clearing out the Yeat soldiers on the periphery, and they surrounded the casters in the middle, but did not immediately attack.
No one spoke
But everyone understands what the other means
Choose to surrender or choose to die here
There is no need to think about this, whether it is spiritual or material, these casters will not choose to betray
Spiritually they could not accept the betrayal of the Baltic Empire, but materially they were afraid of surrender, and if they surrendered, their families in the empire would be treated harshly, and they would be ostracized by the entire class, even the slaves would look down on them, and there would be no place for them in the whole Northland.
In the end of the battle, it is another matter if they die in battle, they will be able to receive compensation from the Empire, and their families will be treated favorably by the Empire, just as there are talented people among their offspring, and the Empire will provide them with sufficient educational resources until they can grow up to be independent.
Glancing at each other, they saw the determination in the eyes of their companions around them, a determination that was determined to die.
The gnolls and werewolves on the periphery also noticed their movements, and without the slightest hesitation, they launched a straight attack, and at such a close distance, the flying axe can play an unexpected role.
They didn't rush into the charge, because they had to face the caster, an enemy that should never be taken lightly, and even if the distance between the two sides was very close, the caster still had the possibility of defeating them, even if they were now facing a caster who had already been through the battle and was not in the state.
The dirt began to turn to soft mud, the air was compressed into the shape of a wind blade, hot fireballs flew in midair, and soul-infused armor charged at the enemy with weapons in hand.
The gnolls did not choose to resist these attacks, they retreated a certain distance, and then a rainbow of neon light descended from the sky and swallowed everything.
When the light gradually dissipated, all that was exposed was the huge crater, and the casters who had been there were gone, and even the legends in them had lost any signs of survival.
The gnolls and werewolves did not delay, and they began to quickly collect all the loot they could take, as they could not be sure when the enemy reinforcements would appear.
After an attack, Attila turned and left
She couldn't stay outside for too long, as that would increase her risk of being ambushed by the legendary forces of the Baltic Empire, even with the power of Attila and facing a double-digit siege by Legends, including Alice.
The chances of her surviving are low.
