Chapter 763: Behemoth Enters

The infantry was advancing as fast as they could, and after this battle, the Attila Empire had discovered the inferiority of the heavy infantry, which was too poor in terms of agility and mobility.

Not all attacks can be blocked, and some attacks are much better at dodging than fending, and in a beach landing battle like the one now, speed is actually a very important thing.

In addition, when the heavy infantry encounters the kind of enemy with shields and strong skills, they will be easily played by the opponent because of their bulky bodies, especially in white-knuckle melee where they cannot maintain a formation, especially in white-knuckle melee where they cannot maintain a formation.

In the previous battles, the Baltic Empire actually found such a problem, in the battle with the elven sword dancers, especially in the environment of street fighting, they were completely helpless, watching the enemy send weapons into their bodies through the gap between the armor and the armor, feeling the pain of foreign objects entering the body.

However, the construction of light infantry is still a matter that needs to be considered in the long run, and the selection of light infantry is also worth considering, and there are not many suitable for the role of light infantry within the empire.

Gnolls and Werewolves, for example, are more suitable, but on the one hand, they are really not strong in melee combat, and on the other hand, letting them as light infantry is wasting their talent for high mobility, and letting them deal with highly mobile enemies such as centaurs is the right thing to do.

Elves, for example, have sword dancers who are indeed very good light infantry, which is basically recognized throughout the Northlands, but the Empire prefers to make all elves archers or spellcasters, because they have a talent for both that is enviable but helpless.

After getting rid of these races, what remains is human, although the talent of humans in each race is a little mediocre, but it definitely does not include the humans of the Northlands.

The humans in the Northland have the possibility of being mad, and the humans who have gone berserk are the ones who even dare to attack dragons, and even trolls and ogres dare to fight alone, so it is indeed very suitable for them to be light infantry.

These are the things that need to be considered later, and now that the war has begun, the troops of the Baltic Empire are crossing the river at a rapid pace, along the road that had been prepared last night.

On the other hand, the Attila Empire is frantically pouring ammunition, and stone-throwing and crossbow arrows are the two most lethal attacks, especially the stone balls thrown by ogres and trolls, and the hit rate and lethality cannot be ignored.

In the battle with the Baltic Empire, they learned to replace the catapult catapult and the stones used to throw large units with stone balls, but there was no way, in the previous battle they were brutally abused by the cyclops, and the pain must have been flexible.

To be honest, being attacked by the enemy with their own tricks is indeed a not very good experience, and the progress of the Attila Empire to the soldiers of the Baltic Empire is definitely not a very good experience.

However, the elves' attack made the opponent's attack directly mute, and today the elves were different from yesterday, and did not adopt the tactics of salvo fire, they each standard bed crossbows and catapults, and used the method of projectile to pursue.

The extremely high hit rate and powerful magic arrows made the soldiers of the Attila Empire miserable, and even the trolls and ogres could not withstand such an attack, and began to retreat slightly, as for the bed crossbow and catapult, they could only stand in place, helplessly burned into charcoal ashes by the flames.

The elves have now become the most threatening class in the Baltic Empire, and at the same time, there is no way to solve the problem, there are heavy cavalry on the opposite side, and centaurs and gnolls have not come to the other side to entangle them like yesterday.

In this way, the Baltic Empire adopted a steady and steady tactic on the second day, even more conservative than on the first day, at least on the first day they tried to defeat the enemy's army to get more results, but today it was completely as if they only needed to land on the other side and gain a firm foothold.

This kind of steady and steady style makes the Attila Empire very uncomfortable, and there is a certain gap with the Baltic Empire in terms of combat effectiveness, but now the other party is still fighting in such a steady and steady way.

Let the heavy infantry block the front, let the rear let the ranged output behind, and at the same time arrange the highly mobile cavalry on the flanks, without putting in the caster, you can basically only take a frontal combat method.

If it goes on like this, it must be their own side that will collapse first, whether it is famine or plague, they have made such a judgment, but despite this, they did not change their tactics in the first place.

Because they know that this kind of long-range strike of the elves will not last, what they need is to maximize their advantage as much as possible while the elves are resting, and give as much damage as possible to the enemy who is crossing the river.

However, the Baltic Empire was advancing a little faster than they expected, and more than 30 Baltic Empire soldiers had already appeared here, sticking their shields into the ground, and the soldiers in the second row put their shields on top of the first side, and spears stretched out from the gaps in the shields, and from a distance, it looked like a layer of turtle shells.

The tinkling sound kept ringing, and even with the loot obtained yesterday, the metal arrows from the Baltic Empire could not break through this layer of defense.

Only a bed crossbow and a slingstone can open the gap in this layer of defense, but it is quickly filled by the warriors behind it, and their defense is very rhythmic, even if it is an attack like a sling, it can unload the power to the ground and resist it.

The heavy infantry was so difficult when it formed a formation, and seeing more and more Baltic Empire soldiers appear on the river bank here, the commander of the Attila Empire could not bear it.

The ground began to shake, and several behemoths slowly advanced in sight, even with a river separating them, and the heavily trained soldiers were in a commotion.

In front of them were a few slowly moving hills, and there was no mistake about it, it was one of the ace armies of the Attila Empire, the mammoth giant, and there was no defense that could resist the charge of these mammoth giants so far.

From this point of view, the soldiers of the Baltic Empire are indeed elite, they did not collapse in the face of these mammoths, but waited for orders from the generals.

The mammoth is still a difficult problem to solve at this time, and other methods are indeed difficult to solve except for aces like the dragon giant.

The Dragons did not appear on this battlefield, as the most mobile and combat-ready army in the Baltic Empire, the Dragons were maintaining order in the newly occupied lands of the Baltic Empire.

Especially some stubborn people who are unwilling to surrender and join the Baltic Empire, they are now hiding in some uninhabited forests, and in the face of such an enemy, it is undoubtedly very efficient to use dragons to clean up.

Although there are no dragons, there are giants here, and although they are not the tall giants such as cyclops, frost giants, and hill giants, the hordes of ice giants are still enough to deal with giants like mammoths.

Not to mention that the Baltic Empire has always regarded the Attila Empire as an imaginary enemy, and every Baltic knows that the Attila Empire was the greatest enemy and the most difficult enemy before the unification of the Northlands.

And if you talk about the military strength of the Attila Empire, the mammoth of the Attila army is also a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, like the tactics commonly used in the Baltic Empire, the mammoth giant elephant and large-scale magic are difficult to deal with.

As for the dragon troops, after the Baltic Empire has its own dragon troops, there is no solution, at least there is no need to face the threat from the sky, and the key can be placed on the ground.

Now it's too late to let those heavy infantry come back, and with the size of a mammoth, it can directly cross this river, rush to the other bank, and attack those elven archers on the other bank.

The target of the mammoth must be the elven archers, because these elven archers on the battlefield are the problems they have no way to deal with and solve, and they are almost unsolvable.

Mammoths don't need to worry about being attacked by the sea tribes who are in the river, because with the attacks of those sea tribes, they can't break through the skin and fat of these giant beasts.

The Ice Giants began to cross the river, and the soldiers of the Attila Empire tried to stop them, but they did not have the ability to stop them, most of the bed crossbows were destroyed in the attack just now, and the rest did not have time to turn around.

Not to mention the catapult, the slow speed of the catapult is impossible to hit, even if it is lucky, it will be directly shattered by the ice giant with the weapon in his hand.

These Ice Giants are equipped with heavy weapons, their size and strength can exert the power of these heavy weapons, and if they are facing enemies of their size, they also need the destructive power of heavy weapons.

As they walked, the ice giants took off the javelins they were carrying behind them, each of them was equipped with five short javelins, which could exert extremely terrifying lethality at close range, even the dragons did not dare to get too close to these ice giants, they were afraid of the attack of these javelins.

The trolls and ogres had already begun to retreat slightly, and at this time, seeing the ice giant's movements, they turned around and retreated completely regardless of it, they had already seen the ice giant's eyes and knew that they had become the target of the other party's attack.

However, at the same slow speed as the trolls and ogres, the next moment they completed their turns, the Ice Giant's attack was already coming, and almost every javelin hit successfully.

Within the borders of the Baltic Empire, races like the Ice Giants have always had certain privileges, but in turn, these races need to pay more to the Empire in exchange for these privileges, such as more training.

Longer training than others has given these giants better fighting skills, and if they are allowed to meet other members of their species in the wild, they can easily achieve the final victory, even if they do not rely on their equipment and weapons.

Because of the life force of ogres and trolls, such javelins could not take their lives unless they hit the vital point, but in a short time, they were out of the battlefield.

The other trolls had already avoided it, they didn't want to get in the way of the Ice Giant, and they didn't want to get involved in a direct battle between the Mammoth and the Ice Giant.

The mammoth didn't pay any attention to the ice giant, because few of the mammoths that ran could stop them, not even the ice giants.

The armies of the Attila Empire began to make way for the mammoths that were charging behind, and the ground shook louder and louder, and the hills grew larger and larger as far as the eye could see.

On the Baltic Empire's side, the Ice Giants are already waiting for the river, and they must find a way to stop these mammoths, and only if they stop will they have a chance of winning.

With a kilometer to go, the Ice Giant pulled out his javelin, thrust it hard into the soft ground, and then, under the captain's command, began to throw.

It is not possible to deal with creatures like mammoths, it is not possible to attack them directly, only by attacking their bodies can they inflict heavy damage on these giant beasts, especially the belly hidden under thick hair and fat, where the skin is the weakest, and can easily hurt the internal organs of these giant beasts.

When the mammoth beast was still five hundred meters away from the ice giant, all the javelins had been thrown, and each mammoth beast had several javelins stuck in its back, but the hair, skin, and fat that really penetrated were all stuck in the muscles, and could not really cause damage to the mammoth beast.

Despite this, it is still clear from the roar of the mammoth that the Ice Giant's attack still had some effect, and they succeeded in provoking the mammoths and increasing their speed even further.

Five hundred meters may be a bit far for other races, but like a mammoth in charge, it's a distance that can be crossed in a second or two.

After the ice giants threw all the javelins, they took the tower shield about the size of their body, and hid their whole body behind the tower shield, looking like they were defending with all their might.

The running mammoths showed hideous expressions, as if they had seen these ice giants being knocked by them and vomiting blood and falling to the ground, or pierced by their long ivory, hanging on them as the most beautiful trophies, or the most perfect feats.
