Chapter 76: The Great War (11)
At this time, the Tiger King was faced with a difficult choice. That is, whether to persist here until the end, or to go to the top of the 36 plans. In fact, there is not much need to stay now, and the few hoplites who are still holding on in the end are already fighting a decisive battle with countless apostle soldiers who are twice their size with the determination to die. At this time, I am afraid that even if the Tiger King asked them to leave here with him, it would be unrealistic.
The first is that they don't seem to have the will to go now. Most of their comrades-in-arms have died on this battlefield, and the death of their comrades makes the only thing these hoplites think about in their hearts is revenge, if they can't kill the apostle, they don't have the ability, but if they can kill an apostle, then it's not as simple as pulling a cushion. It would be very difficult to kill an apostle in itself, and if they were able to kill the apostle this time, it would be a profit for them.
And judging from their performance, they don't want to leave at all. All the remaining hoplites besieged the city for a war, strengthening their own defenses while constantly killing and wounding the Apostolic soldiers. It's already a matter of good enough luck for them.
However, it is also impossible for them to kill all the apostolic soldiers. No matter how many apostolic soldiers they were able to kill, they were doomed to never get out alive. They now numbered only seventeen or eighteen hoplites, and yet the apostles numbered three thousand, seven or eight hundred. That's the reality.
This is the reality, even if on the surface, this war is extraordinarily tragic, but the adjective of its one-sided slaughter is more appropriate. About 10,000 soldiers of the Denoma Empire faced 4,000 apostle soldiers, but the result of the war was that more than 2,000 soldiers of the Denoma Empire were killed in battle, and the soldiers of the Denoma Empire who evacuated here were not so lucky to guarantee that they would survive in the subsequent hunt. However, the apostles have only been killed and wounded in battle for less than a hundred. This is the reality, this is the gap between the two sides, and such a gap cannot be reversed by having a tiger king.
The Tiger King is certainly powerful, even if any kind of middle-level apostle can't last ten moves under the Tiger King's hands, but when the Tiger King faces the high-level apostle, then the Tiger King's life has already been tested. As if just now, the Tiger King simply didn't have the extra energy to help those soldiers of the Denoma Empire. Because he could see that the high-ranking apostle was waiting, waiting for the Tiger King to consume his physical strength excessively because he was exhausted, and when that time came, the Tiger King would lose his strength due to the excessive consumption of physical strength. And when that time comes, the high-level apostle wants to kill the Tiger King, isn't it an easy thing?
Therefore, the Tiger King made a choice very decisively. That is, leave quickly. No matter what desperate situation the remaining hoplites faced, the Tiger King had to focus on fleeing for his life as if it didn't exist. If you stay here, you will only die here with those hoplites of the Denoma Empire, and now the Tiger King definitely does not want this.
"Take care, guys. "After the Tiger King made a feint attack on the high-ranking apostles, while the high-ranking apostles were dodging, the Tiger King escaped from here. After silently reciting to the hoplites who were gradually all killed, by the time the high-ranking apostle had just reacted, the Tiger King had already run away.
The high-ranking apostle didn't chase either, just stared at the back of the Tiger King with a sneer, and grinned: "Hey, hey, let him go." Hey, what's the use of being fast, when our army is assembled, hey, hey, that's when these human beasts will completely collapse. But, hey, hey, hey, we're going to stay here and rest. Let the brutes who want to see our jokes die themselves. ”
This is indeed the idea of this high-ranking apostle, and the decision that this high-ranking apostle is making now may be one of the biggest mistakes made by the apostles in this battle to defend the armored city. He was not a pure-blooded apostle, but a mixed race of apostles and foreigners, and the impurity of his bloodline made him vastly different from normal spring-blooded apostles in terms of body shape and appearance. This also caused the other pure-blooded apostles to be very disdainful of him, a half-blood apostle, although he was also a high-level apostle, but even some middle-level apostles under his command completely disobeyed his orders, let alone other high-level apostles.
In the entire army of the Apostles besieging the City of Armor, there were a total of five high-ranking Apostles. Xerxes and this High Apostle who had died in battle were two of them, and the other three were all under the control of the other Apostle and this High Apostle, except for one with the remaining Apostle army who was always on guard against the besieged Armored City.
However, although they were all high-ranking apostles, all the other four apostles, including Xerxes, who had already died in battle, were dismissive of this obscene-looking apostle. Moreover, after receiving the news of the enemy attack on the western battlefield, the remaining three masters and apprentices quickly made the right deployment.
That is, the three thousand or so apostles left behind were gathered together and evacuated to a kilometer away from the City of Armor, keeping an eye on the movements of the City of Armor. Since it was the army of the Denoma Empire who came to support the defenders of the armored city, as long as those defenders were not fools, they would definitely send troops to cooperate with the troops of the Denoma Empire outside. And at that time, if the apostles did not have a reserve force, then they would definitely lose this war. So, the one who remained was the most powerful of all the five apostles. In the event that Xerxes' area was attacked by the Dnomah Empire, the remaining three apostles formed a team to support Xerxes. This apostolic team numbered four thousand in total, but the apostles handed over to this disgusting high-ranking apostle were only less than five hundred. The remaining more than 3,500 apostolic soldiers were all in the hands of the other two high-ranking apostles.
As for why the same high-ranking apostles were treated completely unfairly? The reason is very simple. How could a pure-blooded apostle let a half-blood apostle come and compete with them? The remaining three pure-blooded apostles wished that this high-ranking apostle of half-blood would die on the front line like this. This is why, as a high-ranking apostle, he can only have a few hundred apostle soldiers at this critical time, while the other two high-ranking apostles who came with him can only have more than 3,000 apostle soldiers.
However, the other two high-ranking apostles still underestimated the abilities of the half-blood apostles and overestimated the strength of the Dnomah Empire, a force used to stop them. Unexpectedly, a few hundred apostle soldiers could defeat the entire 10,000 Denoma Empire army. If the Tiger King knew that the apostle who defeated him was just the defeated apostle, I wonder what the Tiger King would think after knowing about it?
How could the half-blood apostles not think of this? In addition, although the surprise of this war caused hundreds of apostle soldiers to defeat the tens of thousands of troops of the Denoma Empire, they themselves suffered two or three hundred losses. This was already a terrible loss, equivalent to the loss of half of the Half-Blood Apostles' troops. So at this time, it was no excuse for the half-blood high-ranking apostles to stay and recuperate.
The Tiger King, on the other hand, seized this time to join up with the armies of the Denoma Empire who were retreating first. Seeing that the original army of tens of thousands is now less than half of the number left, the Tiger King's heart has never been so lost. This was the first time the Tiger King had suffered the biggest defeat when he had commanded so many troops. In the hundreds of thousands of years of the Tiger King, the Tiger King has never suffered such a tragic defeat.
Fortunately, however, the Half-Blood Apostle did not lead his high-ranking Apostles to pursue them. So, in a panic all the way, the Tiger King finally took the army of more than 4,000 Denoma Empire and Sir Scar and his 10,000 Denomah Empire troops to converge.
After seeing that the leader was Sir Scarred, the Tiger King's hanging heart suddenly returned to calm. It seems that they have already learned of their defeat in the north in advance, and have made arrangements in advance. And Sir Scar's heart is also happy. I thought it was a defeat in which the whole army was annihilated, but I didn't expect that under the leadership of the Tiger King, the army of the Denoma Empire, which was about 4,000 alive, would be able to come back alive.
"I'm sorry, sir. Although he couldn't see the expression on the Tiger King's face, Sir Scar could still see the guilt in the Tiger King's heart. "I didn't expect that Lone failed. Your empire has lost most of its troops, many of them elite hoplites, and a few mages. This is Lone's responsibility, and you can punish Lone in any way according to your military law. ”
Sir Scar didn't care about this, but was relieved, "It's okay, Tiger King. Stopping the apostles itself is a very difficult task, and it is a victory for you to hold out for so long. By the way, what's up ahead?"
The Tiger King lowered his head and began to ponder: "Their high-ranking apostle has been dispatched. It seems that there is only one appearance, but this high-ranking apostle is very cunning, and he has not fought with Lone head-on, but wants to use other apostle soldiers to consume Lone's physical strength. In addition, the large number of apostolic soldiers, and the surprise attack, caused us a great defeat. However, Lone was puzzled that after defeating us, the High Apostle did not come after us. I don't know why. ”
Sir Scar ordered the retreating Denomah Empire troops to return to the frontal battlefield to recuperate. At this time, the dust had settled on the frontal battlefield, and now the army was mending the wounded apostle soldiers under the leadership of Lady Sigh. Make sure that none of the apostles will be able to leave the battlefield alive. Meanwhile, Sir Scar wants to work with the Tiger King to analyze how powerful the enemy they are facing.
"High Apostle, are you sure there is only one High Apostle?"
The Tiger King nodded and said with great certainty: "Moreover, that is not a simple high-level apostle. As far as Gu knows, among the apostles, the number of high-level apostles is very rare, and they are basically occupied by pure-bred apostles. However, it is not excluded that there are some alien races who have been successfully elected as high-ranking apostles after many tests. It's just that this high-ranking apostle is a little strange, he tells Lone that he is a hybrid of a pure-blooded apostle and other races in the apostle world. So, Lone thinks that the reason why he alone led the army to attack us was because he was ostracized by the other High Apostles. ”
Sir Scar slapped his face and suddenly realized: "It turns out that for this reason, everyone, all on alert, it looks like we are going to face a group of difficult apostles!"
The Tiger King was a little confused: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Sir Scar said to the Tiger King with a solemn face, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid there is not much time left for us. We're going to be the outpost of the enemy in no time!!We need you to stay and fight with us!" Then, Sir Scar found a Ranger and ordered, "Go find Lady Sigh at once, and tell her to come to the aid as soon as possible." Also, let the ladies not forget to contact the defenders in the City of Armor. We need to work with them to defeat this enemy!"
Hearing that he was going to stay, the Tiger King was not surprised. The current war is like the ever-changing situation, and any situation can happen. Moreover, they were several kilometers away from the frontal battlefield, and no one could say what would happen at this time. So, Scar Jazz took this one of the best options. In this regard, the Tiger King has no opinion. "Don't worry, Lone will fight with you. After a short period of rest, the Tiger King's body has also recovered to a certain extent. Once again, in the center of the Dnomah Empire's army, the Tiger King's heart was even more nervous than before.
"Your Excellency the Tiger King, we may no longer be facing the apostles you met before. It was another wave of apostles. Moreover, this time, there may not be more than one high-level apostle, but more high-level apostles!"
