Chapter 132: Lady with a Light Sigh (86)
Later, I didn't think it was strange. Isn't the magic that Viren had unleashed before much more brilliant than these? And Viren's magic was not only gorgeous, but also terrifyingly lethal. Now the magic of these magicians still needs to see the effect.
Gradually, the apostles, who had been at the forefront all the way, did not break out of this belt of ice and snow of death. The snow that fell more and more heavily on the ground and in the sky first became so trapped that they could no longer move, and then the snow that fell from the sky became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into hail the size of a head.
In the absence of any cover, the death of hail to the human body is absolutely fatal. Especially with such a hail the size of a human head, it is obvious that even these apostles cannot afford it. The apostles did not like to wear shields very much, and most of them even carried two-handed weapons. They probably think it's a cowardly act to be defensive. But now it is the direct cause of their deaths.
The helmets of these apostles were not strong enough to withstand the force of such a large hailstorm falling from the sky, and when the hail came into contact with the heads of the first unlucky ghosts, the weak helmets could not defend at all, and dozens of apostles' heads were smashed in one moment. Some of the hailstones were so large that they smashed the heads of some of the apostles, and the headless entities fell to the ground under the dual effects of inertia and magic, and then remained motionless.
I have to say, these magic are really powerful. It seems that we undead should learn more of this kind of magic, and no longer limit ourselves to traditional witchcraft. Only with the development of diversification can it be possible to survive in this complex world.
Due to the attack of the spell, the apostle who rushed to the front suddenly came to a standstill. But the apostles in the back didn't know what was happening in front of them and still rushed forward, and this caused the apostles in front to not only be attacked by magic, but also pressed under the feet of the apostles behind, and gradually, they were trampled into a ball of flesh.
The magic array set up by these magicians alone has caused casualties of at least one or two hundred apostles, and although the effect is not as powerful as Viren's magic, it is still a good start to our war.
"Crossbowmen, rain of arrows!Magician, recover the magic energy immediately, after recovery, you don't need to ask me directly, attack directly!Infantry, protect at the front of the crossbowmen, the signal corps is ready to send a signal to the cavalry on both sides, and when I give the order, the cavalry must disperse the apostles from both sides. ”
By this time, the apostles had gradually come out of the initial confusion. Although they have been attacked by magic, they are still elite orthodox apostle armies after all, and they are not the same as other apostles after all. After all, the magic array is only a magic array, and when its energy is exhausted, it will no longer pose a threat to those apostles. After frantically kicking away the bodies of the dead apostles, the other apostles came back at us like a tidal wave. Although they don't like to ride mounts very much, they are still quite fast. Therefore, it is imperative that the vulnerable ranged units need the protection of the infantry. But unfortunately, for the sake of mobility, I did not let the hoplites come with us. Now, in the event of a head-on encounter, the safety of the crossbowmen and mages in the back row depends on these infantry.
"Tiger King, you and the infantrymen are protecting the back row, is it okay?"
"No problem!" the Tiger King jumped to the front of all the infantry without saying a word, and roared at those who rushed over. This is really the roar of the overlord. All the apostles who launched the attack were subconsciously stunned, even their commanders. And this also gives the two classes of bows and crossbows the best opportunity to play. The feathers of arrows hung over the heads of the apostles like a large dark cloud. This is the effect of the Wizard using a magic bonus. In fact, a large part of the arrows were fabricated out of thin air using a method similar to illusion, and they had no combat power. But just from this point of view, it is indeed very psychologically stressful. If it were me, I would have been devastated to see so many arrows falling from the top of my head.
At this time, I was not idle, and I also shot a rain of arrows with the double crossbow in my hand. It's just that unlike the rain of arrows from the crossbowmen, I'm all real.
Some of the apostolic soldiers found that the arrows fired at them were not harmed when they pierced their bodies. Although they didn't understand what it was, they knew that some of the arrows had no effect on them at all. So they simply had the courage to continue rushing at us, and when they saw me shoot arrows again, they thought it was another illusion that was useless, and simply blocked the vital part of their head with their hands and rushed towards us. However, I am the lady of the sigh.
The apostles who rushed in the first row did not realize to death that this time they were greeted not by fake arrows, but by real deadly crossbow arrows, surrounded by pitch black. It only takes one to kill an apostle instantly, not to mention the fact that I have shot at least hundreds of crossbow arrows this time.
As if harvesting wheat, the first three rows of nearly a hundred apostles fell in pieces. Only then did the apostles in the back row discover that these crossbow arrows were not an illusion, but the embodiment of a real Grim Reaper. But whether they rush or not, they will die, or they might as well rush straight ahead and maybe they can pick up a life, and then retreat? Every apostle behind them is a firing squad, and as long as they dare to escape, they are happy to kill one of their own companions. The apostolic army has never been able to have friendship, and there can be no future.
It's just that they will soon be greeted by a wall of fire. These walls of fire were released as soon as the magicians rested. Although not fully prepared, the magic created by a few magicians is still lethal enough. I have just experienced the double baptism of hail and arrow rain, and the result is not easy to face the scorching flames. If it were an ordinary enemy, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago. But they are, after all, not ordinary enemies, but orthodox apostles. Although almost two-fifths of the people are dead now, they still rely on their courage to keep rushing towards us.
In the face of such a formation, some of the newly recruited recruits were still a little panicked in their hearts. Hundreds of vicious apostle monsters screamed and rushed towards them, and no matter who they were, they were still a little terrified in their hearts. It's just that veterans will bury this timidity deep in their hearts very sophisticatedly, rather than showing it like a recruit. Fortunately, there are not many apostles who can rush at them now. But I also know that the real battle is only the beginning of the real battle now.
The rain of arrows and magic attacks lasted for four rounds. By the time the apostles rushed to a distance of less than fifty meters from us, there were probably only about two hundred apostles left. However, at this time, the range of the crossbowmen had reached the limit, except for the crossbowmen, who could fire a crossbow arrow from time to time, the archers had to retreat because the attack distance was too close to try to find a good angle and position to attack.
A few seconds later, the Tiger King was shocked by another burst of shouting, and then said to the infantry behind him, "Come with the Lone!" and then jumped towards an unlucky apostle, whose head was completely separated from his body by the time the Tiger King landed. Tiger King, if you don't make a move, it's enough, and once you make a move, it's extremely deadly.
Then the infantry who followed began to fight with the apostles. But it was at this point that the gap came out. These infantry can be regarded as the elite troops of the Denoma Empire, but compared to these apostolic soldiers with pure-blooded blood, there is still a huge disparity in strength between them. It's only natural to change that one first. Humanity and the Apostles, in any case, are a gap that cannot be bridged in the short term.
No matter how hard the infantry attacked, in front of the apostle's strong body, these sword and shield men still fell in pieces. It often took five or six soldiers to work together to kill an apostolic soldier. No, the fighting power of these apostles is still too strong. "Tiger King!" I shouted, alerting him to the battle damage, and immediately flew into the air and condescendingly shot an arrow at the apostle in the back row. I'm worried about accidental injury.
The battle was going on very anxiously. However, human forces are generally not suitable for hand-to-hand combat, so when they are close to these apostles, a Denoma Empire's sword and shield soldier is killed every second, and the apostles will often fall after being besieged by Denomah soldiers for a minute or even longer. For us, that's a disadvantage.
"Herald, let the cavalry attack!" I jumped behind the group of apostles and shot arrows at them. And a red smoke bomb also rose into the sky. This is the signal to call the cavalry.
Immediately after, I heard rumbling rumbling from both sides behind me. This is undoubtedly the great movement created by the heavy cavalry. They are the only ones who have the ability to turn the ground into a big earthquake. I knew that at this time, the armies of the two mortal enemies, which had been entwined, were now about to separate. And the apostles had clearly noticed that there was a voice behind them that did not belong to them at all. Some of the apostolic soldiers who had not yet rushed to the front line turned around, but they were horrified to find that hundreds of human cavalry had been speeding towards them at some point.
Cavalry has always been the most skilled in hand-to-hand combat in the human world. Its powerful defense and relentless attack power make it the ace of the human world. Even when fighting with other races, these cavalry are the best class of troops to conquer cities for the human world. It can be said that the heavy cavalry is also the only class of troops in the human world that is specially designed for close combat.
However, in normal times, many heavily armored cavalry ended in defeat in face-to-face encounters with the Apostles. Although the Apostles did not have much impact, compared to the bulky heavy cavalry, the Apostles were very good at using their agility to dodge the impact of the heavy cavalry and then attack the heavy cavalry from the flank. Because the apostles knew that if they were stabbed by the knight's spear of the heavy cavalry, then their lives would definitely be in danger.
Therefore, in peacetime against the heavy cavalry, the apostles will give full play to their advantages and defeat the heavy cavalry. But now it's different. Now the apostle has already damaged most of the wounds, and now all the troops are fighting with our soldiers, and they can't get out of it at all. Although there were a few apostles who were prepared to form a loose line of defense against the heavy cavalry. Of course, I'm definitely not going to give them that chance.
"Tiger King!" I shouted, "Attack from behind!" magician, once you have recovered your energy, attack in the back row!"
The Tiger King nodded at me, then walked behind the apostles, and after turning around and sweeping down a large number of apostles, he combined with the attacks of several mages to completely collapse the defense line formed by those apostles. And at this time, the cavalry had just arrived.
Hundreds of cavalry carriers rushed towards the apostle with thunderous force, and the cavalry in the front row was the most dangerous, but now it was the most enjoyable. Because now almost every knight in the hands of the cavalry in front of him had several apostles on top of the body of the knight's spear. It's hard for them to be so happy in normal times!
The apostles, who had been attacked on their backs, finally collapsed. I was already attacked by the magic array, then there was a rain of arrows between me and the crossbowmen, and then the hand-to-hand combat between the sword and shield men. Although these soldiers also suffered great losses, after all, they could not match our outnumbered men. Gradually, the scattered apostles began to appear, and they finally became afraid. Hahaha, they finally arrived scared.
"Pursue five hundred meters!" Looking at the apostles who had already appeared defeated, I drank: "Crossbowmen, stop attacking for the time being, and prepare to charge up! Magicians too, prepare the maximum magic you can use! Infantrymen, keep fighting, the cavalry are ready to leave the battlefield at any time and prepare for the next charge! Remember, we are only pursuing five hundred meters!" After thinking about it, I continued: "Tiger King, use your most powerful strength, kill as many of them as you can! Don't hesitate, don't be soft!" We want them to know how terrible we are!"
