Chapter 693: A Small Victory
"Old heroes are replaced by new heroes, dragon slayers who have completed dragon slaying turn into evil dragons and are attacked by heroes in old age, those Scandinavians once heroically resisted the attack of the Attila Empire on the battlefield, but in just a few years, they have been reduced to the eagle dogs of the Baltic Empire, doing what they once hated, the Attila Empire did. ”
In front of the army, Golia loudly rebuked the enemies who raised troops to attack their homeland, she had learned that her enemy this time was a Scandinavian, and after joining the Baltic Empire, she became the general of the empire and the commander of the Sixth Legion by virtue of her ability and loyalty.
"The Scandinavians were able to defeat the Attila Empire, to turn back from defeat to victory in the face of adversity, and we Urals were able to do the same, to repel these greedy invaders. ”
The Urals only refer to the intelligent race that lives near the Ural Mountains, not a unified race, and the barbarians who live here in the Ural Mountains may take a long time to give birth to a composite race after cultural edification and the germination of civilization.
"Goliath, they're ready. ”
One of the guards walked up to Golia's side and whispered.
"Very good, let's go!"
Gloria stopped her speech and said loudly, and then the mighty army, well, let's call this messy, unneatly formed, giants and goblins mixed together, gnolls with catapults on the outside, and humans with shields on the inside.
They came to the ambush point they had made before, the only remaining passage into the mountain, on either side of a narrow valley, with a commanding view below.
At this time, there was no trace of wild animal activity below, even the fish swimming in the water had left the waters, the insects and birds had disappeared early, and now the turquoise canyon was as quiet as if it were dead.
"Be prepared...... No one can attack without my orders. ”
Goliath emphasized again, because her warriors came from different races, different tribes, and the weapons they used were very different, and there was no way for them to obey orders well in such a short period of time.
So Goliath directly set a time for the attack, designated a target for the attack, and then let the army under her command play freely, as long as it can defeat the enemy, the rest is just a trivial matter.
Goliath also had no great ambitions, she only wanted to drive the invaders out of the land given to them in her homeland, and she did not think at all of using such a foreign war to improve her status and prestige, and then use such status and prestige to establish a state in the Ural Mountains.
In essence, she was a very different person from Siegel and Gorm, but she was definitely not a qualified politician, a qualified politician, or a good tribal chief.
"It looks like they've got the trap ready. ”
The Legion Commander grinned as he looked at the cliffs at either end of the valley, which looked like there was no one behind.
"Legion Commander, which of these enemies is more powerful than Atira's army?"
The herald nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.
"There's no way to compare it with the Attila Army, your way of comparing it is insulting the Attila Army, they're not that easy to deal with, those guys ......"
Halfway through speaking, the commander of the Sixth Legion was silent, recalling those past events always brought him bad feelings, although he successfully crossed the cruel battlefields, but his relatives and comrades-in-arms had become memories, even if he tried to recall, his face became blurred.
"War is never a good thing. ”
Very abruptly, the commander of the Sixth Legion shook his head and sighed.
So, why continue to join the army, lead the army, and go to war?
This sentence was almost clearly written on the herald's face, who was already an adult, but his movements and thoughts were still like that of a child, full of childishness.
"It's really because I hate war, so I want to participate in the war myself, peace is not something that can be bought just by talking, everything we have now is worth cherishing, so I am willing to go back to the place I hate for these things, and do the things I hate. ”
"Okay, it's war time, don't talk about these inconsequential things, although there is no comparison with Attila, but our opponents should not be underestimated, you should have heard the story of Attila who started to establish the Attila Empire, and then declined and split. ”
"Hmm"
"In the early Attila period, the gnolls, centaurs, orcs did not submit to her, and the bears and mammoths did not become her guards, and at that time she was the only motley army from the Ural Mountains. ”
"However, didn't Your Highness once say that a flock of sheep led by a lion can easily defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep, isn't the current situation very similar?"
"So how can you be sure that we are now facing a lion led by a sheep? Thinking about what happened yesterday, do you really think that the other party is a mediocre person?"
The herald was silent, and he searched his stomach and found no place to refute it.
"Let the caster do it, it's the third round, and we're going to take the initiative in this fight. ”
"Understood!"
This is a formal order, the herald replied earnestly, and then quickly ran to the side, conveying the order of the legion commander to the hands of those spellcasters, who followed the army casters, also known as army mages, and most of the magic they learned was related to destruction and killing.
It was still about a kilometer away from that valley, but the warriors could already feel the shaking of the earth, and in their eyes, the scene of yesterday was recreated.
The cliffs on either side of the valley began to crumble, and countless helpless warriors struggled in midair, the miserable wails could be heard clearly even from such a distance.
Those who could fly were all taking to the air, and the Thunderbirds, Wyverns, and Dragons, as well as other magical beasts that could fly, formed a very spectacular dark cloud in the sky.
But now no one cared about the dark cloud, and the warriors of the Ural Mountains who fell like rain were buried in that valley, their screams getting lower and lower, and the smoke and dust from the collapse of the cliffs obscured their vision.
"Crossbow bolts and catapults are ready, and the targets are those flying monsters. ”
In such a dark cloud, it was a waste of time to aim at the dragon, so the Legion Commander gave the order to attack at will, only asking them to launch more ammunition in the shortest possible time.
As for the hit rate? He doesn't need to think about the hit rate, and he doesn't feel that so many enemies gather together, and there will be a situation where they will miss, and if they can't hit the front one, they can hit the back one, and they can hit the stomach without hitting the neck.
The Ural coalition army was in a state of confusion, the chain of command from top to bottom tended to be paralyzed, there was no one to command, no one to follow the command, no dead people struggled to pull themselves out of the dirt, and then they did not even care about weapons and equipment, and quickly left the place.
Thankfully, they left early, and a few minutes later, a second wave of blows descended on the chaotic land, the same color as yesterday eroding the collapsed ruins, and everything enclosed in rocky dirt.
[Earth Shake and Mountain Shake] and the magic of [Turning Mud into Stone] can achieve very good results in such a special environment
The warriors of the Sixth Legion suppressed their desire to cheer, and they took advantage of the chaos of the other party to attack the flying monsters as much as possible, and the more they killed at this time, the fewer casualties they would have in the future.
Sometimes being able to fly is the biggest advantage, and no one wants to be in a place like a mountain where you have to maintain your balance and avoid rolling off the mountain, and on the other hand, you have to deal with enemies attacking from the sky.
"Well, pay attention to defense, the enemy attack is coming. ”
The Legion Commander looked at the battle situation that seemed to have an advantage with a solemn face, and he reached out and picked up the weapon that was set aside.
His sixth sense was frantically alerting, as if something terrible was happening in the land shrouded in smoke and dust, like a small animal that would subconsciously run away before an earthquake came.
It wasn't just the legion commander who felt this anomaly, all the spellcasters in this army, and at least half of the warriors began to prepare in earnest.
"You guys ......"
Gloria was covered in red dirt, half of her clothes were left, one of her left hands hung limply, and the other hand was carrying a long knife.
She didn't expect that the tactics she had used last night would be used by the other party on her body today, and the army would be severely damaged by a single attack, and there were very few intact soldiers who could stand as far as the eye could see, and the rest had been buried in the rocks below.
At this time, the ground shook again, and Goliath held on to her long knife to keep her body from falling, and not far behind her, the hard rock began to crumble, and a large hand reached out from the broken rock, and behind it crawled a dusty hill giant.
Subsequently, the other hill giants also climbed down from the ground, and for darlings like them, neither [earth shaking] nor [turning mud into stone] could really hurt them.
"Build a defense directly in front and buy time for the retreat!"
Golia's eyes lit up and she said quickly.
The hill giant, who received the order, scratched his head first, then walked to the front, stretched out his hand and patted the ground vigorously.
Walls of hard stone rose from the ground, joining together in a matter of seconds, forming a wall that blocked the entire valley behind.
At the same time, the monsters that were flying in the sky also began to increase their altitude under the orders of Golia, hovering at heights beyond the reach of crossbow arrows and stone bullets, and occasionally spitting acid and fireballs to bombard the Sixth Legion.
Because of the distance, it is difficult for these attacks to get hits, and even if they do, fireballs that can only light candles and acid that can only corrode clothes will not cause much harm.
"This game is the dragon slayer who has won and willingly degenerated into a dragon. ”
Goliath took a few deep breaths, waved her hand, and refused the guard's support.
After the hill giants had built up their defenses, they came to the rescue, softening the rocks beneath their feet and getting out all the warriors buried underneath.
Unfortunately, many of the soldiers have been killed, and many of them were trapped in the stones and suffocated, and some were guaranteed to be intact, and only those with blood stains on their mouths and noses were crushed with their internal organs.
There are very few people who survive, only about one-fifteenth of what they used to be, but these are powerful warriors, and it is precisely because of their strength that they can survive in such an environment.
"Gloria, what should I do?"
Her close guard was lucky to survive this time, but his forehead was smashed by a stone, and blood flowed all over his face, and even if he smiled, it looked extremely hideous at this time.
"Let's retreat!"
Goliath bit her lower lip, her mouth filled with the rusty smell of blood, full of unwillingness.
was simply defeated like this, with heavy losses, her heart was full of anger, but in the burning of this anger, she still maintained a trace of calm, so that she could clearly judge what she should do at this time, which is the most correct choice.
The stone wall built when facing is very strong, but it is absolutely impossible to withstand the opponent's attack, and the corresponding to [Turning Mud to Stone] is [Fossil to Mud], so that the pure stone wall only needs one magic to break directly.
Moreover, with the demoralized and chaotic army under her command now, no matter how you look at it, there is no way to fight, but temporarily retain the living force, and go back with these elites, she still has the possibility of making a comeback.
"I said it, let's retreat!"
Looking at the warriors who didn't make any moves, Goliath emphasized once again that it was the guard who was the first to make a move, he began to carry an injury, and then took the lead to leave in the other direction.
Gradually, the others began to follow, and the Hill Giants and Goliath were at the end, guarding against a possible surprise attack from the enemy, but until they actually completed their retreat, the surprise attack did not appear.
"It looks like it's been put on the table. ”
There was no victorious expression on the face of the commander of the Sixth Army, and next to him, the other warriors also had serious faces, and the enemy who did not know where to hide let them waste their best chance of pursuit.
"However, it seems that there are still some things in our intelligence that have not really been heard clearly, and this battle may not be the small fight we imagined. ”
The one who gave them a sixth sense warning just now, and made them feel the crisis, must only be an enemy above the legend, and they are still the strongest among them, because only the strong can make the strong feel jealous.
