Chapter 778: Four in One
Upland, a land already occupied by the undead, has now been turned into a battlefield, with a total of two forces and three armies fighting in this battlefield.
Just as the Baltic Empire had guessed, the knight who had confirmed the death of Alice had reappeared on the battlefield and was in charge of the defense of Upland.
On the other hand, war, plague, and famine brought an army to the other direction of the battlefield, because the living and the dead could not be in contact for a long time, and the negative energy of the dead would erode the bodies of the living, making them weak and powerless.
The army of the Baltic Empire, led by Bud, mainly the Yaats, appeared in the other direction, and when they came to the land, each of them knelt down and kissed the land.
This is the homeland of the Yayat people, who may have lived on this land hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago, and I don't know how many generations of efforts have taken a small village to build into such an urban harbor, and become an important city that cannot be ignored in the whole of Scandinavia, the whole of Northland.
At the same time, this land is also a city that has been burned by flames, trampled by invaders, and can still hear the wailing of the unwilling at night, a city ruled by the undead and unwilling to leave for a long time.
After a lapse of many years, the long-time owners of the land, the Jeats, have returned.
With confidence to return to the land that once glorified them and carried their pain, they will take it back, drive out all the enemies, bury all the dead, and let the blazing sun shine on the land again.
From where they stood, they could clearly see the slowly moving undead over the city, and the faces of the undead had familiar faces on them.
It may have been their relatives who died in the flames, in the battles that would later be fought against the Attila Empire, or they could have died at the hands of the undead spirits of other Yaats.
No one can ignore the occurrence of such a thing, for the Jeats, it is an unforgivable sin, such a desecration of corpses, desecration of the dead, is the most hated thing of the Jeats.
There was no need for Bud to go through any pre-war mobilization, all the Yaats present were eager for the war to go on, and they were all longing for the weapons in their hands to purify the spirits of the dead, so that they could be freed and return to the world of the dead in peace.
Thus began the war, and although he had other plans in his heart, Bud had already had plans before the war, and he needed to focus on another army than the undead who were holding the city.
Far away, the attack of the Baltic Empire army was already unfolding, and countless stone balls turned into meteorites and fell from the sky into the enemy's army.
The Catapults of the Baltic Empire are the best in the entire Northland, and they have many advantages over those made by the Attila Empire in terms of technology, manufacturing methods, and materials.
The siege weapons of the Attila Empire were basically copied from the Baltic Empire, and through smuggling activities and remnants from the battlefield, they obtained the siege weapons of the Baltic Empire, and then let the craftsmen copy them.
Therefore, in terms of siege weapons, the Baltic Empire has a crushing advantage in terms of power, range, accuracy, loading ammunition, etc., or in addition to similar appearances, the two countries are not comparable in terms of siege weapons.
Obviously, the army of the Baltic Empire was the one who attacked, but because of the power of these siege weapons, the army of the Attila Empire had to choose to attack.
They simply abandoned the catapults and bed crossbows, because they were too bulky to move and carry them into the battlefield.
Unlike the methods of famine and plague, the war was very decisive, and seeing that his situation was at a disadvantage, he immediately changed his tactics, moving the whole army as much as possible, and reducing the area of the stone attack by constantly moving.
Although there is still no way to stop the attacks of those Baltic Empire troops, such losses are still within an acceptable range compared to the beatings that stand still and are passive and cannot even counterattack.
The soldiers of the Jeats were furious, eager to go into battle with the enemy, hoping to calm the anger in their hearts with the blood and death of the enemy.
However, these Yaats also knew how to restrain themselves, and they came here with the goal of victory, crushing the enemy, and retaking the land.
It's not about venting your anger
It's not about fighting the enemy
The soldiers of the Attila Empire would not pay attention to the thoughts of the Yaats, they were also holding back their anger, this time they had three knights as commanders, and they could not accept that they were still losing on the battlefield.
Keep moving forward, the companions around him are constantly decreasing, the air is filled with a heavy smell of mud and blood, and the screams in the ears make people feel upset
Even after a short period of training, the army of the Attila Empire still advocated individual force rather than the combat effectiveness of the entire army, and it was also difficult for them to connect each soldier into a single unit.
The three knights who were in the middle of the army certainly understood the situation they were facing, as the army moved, the formation of the entire army changed from dense to loose, and if a fast-moving cavalry broke into the army at this time, then it was very likely that the whole army would be cut off by the waist and cut into two.
They had never underestimated the enemy of the Baltic Empire, and they knew that the flaws they had leaked would not be ignored by the other party, and the reason why they did not attack now may be waiting for the right time.
Or they were wary of their four knights, including death, or maybe they were wary of the undead army on the other side, afraid that they would raid from another direction while they were engaged in white-knuckle combat.
The slings began to become scarce, and the faces of the soldiers of the Attila Empire became ugly, because all they had to face was a rain of arrows and bed crossbows from centaurs.
Such a loose camp is not very afraid of the attack of the bed crossbow, but it is not good for the rain of arrows of the centaurs, and judging from the fact that they can't even form a shield wall now, the attack of the centaurs will make them suffer heavy losses.
They should be thankful, because this time the Baltic Empire's army, which was commanded by Bud and was dominated by the Yeats, did not have formed centaur units except for the centaurs who were necessary to act as scouts.
Again, the elves did not appear in the army, because Alice and Semiramis had conceived that Bud would be able to regain the land and win the war, and the two of them were not willing to put their precious elven archers into the war.
As the distance between the two sides approached, the soldiers of the Attila Empire sensed a strange feeling, and they sensed that the enemy they faced this time was very different from what they had usually encountered.
It's not that the enemies have become weaker, but that when fighting them, it feels much easier, so easy that they don't need to charge against all kinds of terrible attacks.
Such an unreality even gave these soldiers the illusion that they were dreaming, they had never felt that the hope of victory had appeared in front of them, and they only needed to gently reach out to get the key to victory
The soldiers of the Attila Empire had not tasted such a sweet wine for a long time, and since the Baltic Empire had launched its invasion war, they had not won any victories to boast of
The distance between the two sides has become closer and closer, and the shamans in the army have begun to prepare the magic of [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy], and fight with the magic of [Bloodthirsty Thaumaturgy], and the soldiers in the Attila Empire have become accustomed to such tactics.
No rain of arrows
There is no magic
In this way, they easily rushed in front of those Baltic Empire soldiers, rushed in front of those Yaats, and they seemed to be able to feel the touch of the blade in their hands cutting into their flesh.
Even the war has begun to have doubts, is this army in front of him really the army that rubbed him to the ground frantically and had no way to resist
"War. ”
"War. ”
Plague and famine shouted at the same time on the side.
They glanced at each other, and both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes
"Wait, wait, wait, there is no way to confirm the situation. ”
"Let death wait, the army we are facing now. ”
It's too weak
War raised his hand and shook it, his face did not become relaxed, but more solemn, the change of things was very different from what he had guessed, he still couldn't believe that what was in front of him was the strong enemy they were facing.
For this reason, he intends to slow down and wait a little longer, although this may lose a certain amount of results, but it is better to lose a certain result than to lose the victory in hand.
When the few of them discussed, the armies of the two sides directly entered the stage of white-knuckle warfare, the most brutal and fierce, and at the same time represented the stage when the war could enter the end.
The soldiers of the Baltic Empire did not form a formation, or their formation was so loose that it could not be formed, so they slackly held their weapons and waited for the enemy to approach.
This made the soldiers of the Atila Empire suspect that the enemy they were facing was not the strong enemy of the Baltic Empire, but the weak of the United Kingdom, the weak who had only courage and strength but no fighting power.
What happened then did terrify the soldiers of the Attila Empire, who did not expect that the fish-belly soldiers, who looked not much different from the United Kingdom, would do such a thing.
The soldiers in the front row, expressionless, clenched the double axe or double-edged sword in their hands, stepped forward, and directly entered a state of madness under the surprised eyes of the enemy.
Those who can become soldiers of the Baltic Empire army are enough to be called elite soldiers, and being able to enter the madness independently, control the madness, and improve their own strength is the simplest criterion.
The other soldiers did not know that they had not experienced the years of war with the Yaats, and that Beowulf had used such simple and crude tactics to repel the attacks of the Atila Empire again and again.
At that time, it was still the time when the Attila Empire was at its strongest, the orcs were still there, the giants did not rebel, the centaurs were loyal, the gnolls were willing to be cannon fodder, and the four knights gathered together.
Like a whirlwind, the frenzied soldiers rushed directly into the crowd of enemies, their sturdy and sharp two-handed weapons in their hands, easily harvesting the lives of the enemy at this time.
Powerful and sharp, each Yaat has turned into a terrible reapering scythe, and reaping life is as easy as reaping wheat in a ripe field.
The face of the war became very ugly, he did not expect that after many years, he would encounter this traditional combat method of the Yeats on the battlefield, and it was still a powerful version.
After the first batch of warriors are about to end, the warriors behind will follow closely behind, maintaining the continuity of attack, as long as the enemy cannot block the attack of these Yaats who have gone berserk, then the battlefield can easily become a one-sided slaughter.
"Famine!"
War cries out.
The tacit understanding between the two does not need to say too much else at this time
Famine picked up the weapon in his hand and began to spread his power on the battlefield
The power that makes the body feel hungry, makes the body's consumption increase, and seems to be unable to be used directly in battle, in a way, is indeed the nemesis of the madness of the Yaats
An increase in consumption will result in a decrease in frenzy duration
The arrival of hunger will weaken the frenzied Yaats
The power of the famine was inconspicuous, but its impact on the war situation was truly impossible to ignore
The rhythm of the Yaat's attack began to be disrupted, and they had no way to connect and attack like a continuous tide
After the famine, it was the plague that struck
His strength weakened the starving Yaats even more, and their bodies began to feel dizzy, and the weaker ones could not even hold their weapons
Although it could not be fatal in a very short period of time, it was enough to affect the entire battle situation
The addition of the last war further improved the combat capabilities of those soldiers in the army
The situation soon reached a stalemate, and gradually tilted in favor of the Attila Empire, as had happened on the peninsula many years earlier
War, pestilence, famine plus finally death
The power of the four together is completely revealed at this time
