Chapter 61: The Abomination of the Battlefield 1
Simon's legion of the undead is like a rising tide, and at the top of the army is the Skeleton Legion as cannon fodder. This is a common tactic for the undead when fighting, using the large number of skeleton legions to consume the opponent, and then using the elite troops to win in one fell swoop.
However, unlike ordinary cannon fodder, these skeletons are obviously strengthened, and their bones are tighter, not gray and white like ordinary skeletons, but like metal with an ominous pale black.
Nowell ordered the Mystic Mage and the Lich to strike spells within range, and Charlotte, knowing that the military formation was inexperienced, temporarily handed over command to Nowell. Generally speaking, spell strikes should be applied to the enemy's elite troops, but this time the battle was not for victory, but for delay, and was inevitably carried away by Simon's huge army in waves, and Nowell had to use the precious spell power in advance.
It worked, and the mages cast area-of-effect spells, all of which worked to great effect, though they were different.
Bursting fireballs blast dense skeletons like cannonballs, lightning chains destroy them to bone, and transformational spells cause skeletons to crash into bulging terrain...... The powerful magic power caused the ant-colony skeleton army to suffer heavy losses, and before the opponent could get close to Nowell's military formation, the originally dense formation had become sparse and full of loopholes.
"Don't you do a spell counter?" asked Simon in the other side's formation.
"Let him fight. Simon clearly saw the weakness of Nowell's tactics, "I'd rather see how many mages those mages have lost their magic pools." ”
Simon looked at the front line and saw his skeletal corps crash headlong into the ghoul avant-garde on Nowell's side, shattering in rows like waves crashed by a reef. But Simon remained unmoved, and once again threw the remaining Skeleton Corps into battle at once.
The initial battle line was still relatively solid, and under the continuous bombardment of the mages, the disorganized skeleton legion had a numerical advantage, but did not pose too much threat to the ghoul legion. After the ghoul army gradually adjusted to the pressure of the front, Nowell began to order the mage troops to control the loss of the magic energy pool, and the spell bombardment that greatly helped the front gradually became scarce.
It was also from this time that the pressure on the front increased suddenly, and the loss of the originally reef-like ghoul army increased, and the line was repelled by the continuous attacks of the skeleton army.
Looking down from above, the front lines of both sides were firmly moving towards Nowell's side, and although the ghoul army did not collapse, it was still powerless in the face of a large number of enemies.
Charlotte subconsciously looked at Nowell, who held the reins in his hand and made a metal crunch from his gauntlets. Even if she is not good at military formation, Charlotte, who has been educated as a noble knight, is not ignorant.
To some extent, war is like a life-and-death game, where both sides keep turning over their cards, but unlike the general game, the rules of the game are that whoever finishes the hole cards in their hands first, who has a much greater negative.
Nowell already had one more hand than his opponent, and he played a valuable mage card in his hand but couldn't turn the tide of the battle, and if he turned over his hole cards now, he would undoubtedly be at a greater disadvantage. Because when it comes to the number of cards in his hand, he is already at an absolute disadvantage.
However, good generals have the same quality, that is, they can predict the development of the battlefield situation and give decisive and correct orders before the upheaval, so as to offset the delay from the transmission of orders to the actions of the corps, and invest the right forces in the right place on the battlefield at the right time.
Lawrence, the former Northern Lion, is one of them, as are the rising stars of the Western Eagle Brent and the Silver Dragon Queen Vivien Leigh.
Now, it seems that Nowell is not bad either. After only a split second, Nowell gave a new order.
"Order the Gargoyle Legion to attack the opponent's forces from the air!"
As soon as Nowell gave the order, the gargoyle army in the military formation flapped its wings and soared into the air. These monsters are said to be the grave keepers of the tombs, and they usually turn into stone statues to recuperate, but when they fight, their stone-made flesh can take on a new vitality and tear future enemies to pieces.
Fifteen hundred gargoyles rose into the air, small in number, but far superior in average strength to the Skeleton Legion as cannon fodder. These monsters are immensely powerful, each carrying a ton of rocks in a special heavy backpack, and the weapons they carry can be exchanged depending on the target of the battle, but against the fleshless skeleton army, the boulder is undoubtedly the best weapon.
They hovered overhead like crows announcing death, throwing stones at each other. The stone fell from the sky and smashed down on the skeleton legion with unparalleled potential energy, and the blow caused by the skull legion instantly made everyone turn on their backs. They took turns throwing stones, and then they turned back in formation, until all the reserves were empty, and then they fought like goshawks to the ground, tearing the weak skeletons to pieces.
With their help, the originally shaky battle line was finally stabilized, but Nowell did not have the slightest excitement, and he looked even more cold under the black demon armor.
Although it seems that they are evenly matched at the moment, Charlotte understands that they are on the verge of collapse. The only things that Nowell's subordinates can still use now are the Charlotte group of Mysteries, Lichs, and Blood, the Black Knights, and the Death Knights, who are the last elite. Other than that, only Wycliffe can be considered a deterrent strategic unit.
Simon also sensed Nowell's decline, and he sneered and ordered the zombie army to be thrown in again. These monsters are infinitely powerful and flying, and they are completely different from the walking corpses in the undead in the first place. They brutally pushed away the Skeleton Legion as an ally, and ran headlong into Nowell's ghoul line, if it weren't for Nowell's decisive dispatch of the Black Knights Legion to support after seeing the changes in the battlefield, I am afraid that the battle line would have collapsed at the touch of a button.
The two sides fought on the battlefield for nearly two hours, and the short days of the Far North were coming to an end, and the battlefield was filled with splinters of bones and rotten flesh, and mutilated and severed limbs everywhere, bloodier and more tragic than any war Charlotte had ever seen.
On Nowell's side, the ghoul's battle loss ratio is close to seven layers, the black knight's battle loss ratio is also close to five layers, and the gargoyle is slightly better, but it is also close to three layers.
With such a huge battle loss ratio, it would collapse on any elite class known in the human world. But these undead are not afraid, even if their kind around them fall one by one, they still insist on wielding weapons to fight on the battlefield. This kind of intense war has completely subverted Charlotte's previous concepts.
And Simon is like a frog boiled in warm water, constantly adding fuel to the fire, even if he has an absolute advantage, he does not put his troops into a desperate position. In addition to observing the situation on the battlefield, he and Chris have been staring at Charlotte and 'Claire', and it seems that they are quite jealous of the high-end forces on Charlotte's side, and they want to complete the battle after defeating Nowell's army.
This battle was fought directly from day to night. (https:)
