Chapter 66: The Great War (1)
This apostolic army never imagined that the originally good accumulated combat experience would be combined with the torture and torture of those poor human beings. didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, he became the target of torture and killing.
This rain of arrows came very suddenly, and before these apostles had any time to react, about three or four hundred apostolic soldiers who did not react at all died under the rain of arrows. When the first wave of arrows stopped, the various low- and middle-rank apostle officers began to organize a defensive formation in front of their grandmother.
But the funny and sad thing is that until now, they thought that this attack was coming from the city of armor not far from them. As a result, this strategic mistake caused them to delay the best time again. And this wave of attacks is no longer a rain of arrows. It's magic.
When it comes to magic, these magicians in the Denoma Empire also have their own opinions. After so many wars, the mages who had been through the previous wars with Lady Sigh with the Apostles and the Lava Lords began to have a more thorough understanding of their magical abilities.
In this day and age, the magic of individuals seems to them to be insignificant. Maybe there are many excellent magicians in this era, but in the era when magic is not mature, no matter how strong an individual is, it will not play a decisive role. Even if it was Viren, no matter how powerful that magical magician was, he was the only one after all. Compared to other magicians, Viren is more like an existence that does not belong to this level.
So, after several days of discussion, the magicians made a decision after a long discussion. And it was this decision that precisely determined the direction of the magic world of the Denoma Empire, after countless years, although there were no banner magicians in the Denoma Empire, they were recognized as the top three magical forces in the entire continent. This is because during this period of time, they have taken a completely different path from other magicians. That is, to abandon the so-called individual magic, and instead go to the path of combined magic.
The most outstanding of these magicians is only barely at the level of mid-to-upper qualifications. There has never been a magician who has surpassed Viren. Many magicians only have a single magic, and it is rare for a magician to be good at two types of magic at the same time, let alone good at multiple magics.
However, the fact that an individual does not know more than one spell does not mean that several mages combined are not good at multiple spells. Among magicians, once one adds up to one, it is no longer as simple as equaling two. And what about more of the combinations? The sum of the more will be more than the sum of the original masses. Because of this, the Denoma Empire after the war moved towards a new system of magic. But who would have thought that this would be enough to affect the magic pattern of the entire world, and it would actually start from this war?
When the phalanx of the Apostles at the back of the City of Armor was attacked by magic, the careless low-level and mid-level apostles realized that they had misjudged the direction at all. At the very end of the line, rows of apostolic soldiers fell as if they had been cut grass. Moreover, the corpses of these dead apostolic soldiers also took on a variety of poses. Some were directly blackened by the flames, and some simply melted into the snow because of the freezing magic. What's even more tragic is that the corpses of many of the apostle soldiers are directly invisible, because they have all been swallowed into the ground. At this point, the magic was only halfway through.
It's just simple, ordinary magic. Because these magic basically don't require much chanting and preparation. Even the level of magic itself is very low, and it is the most elementary magic. But when dozens or even more magicians gather together to cast such a spell at the same time, it is very powerful.
The apostles, who had not yet reacted, had just barely formed a relatively normal formation from the combined blows of the previous magic and the rain of arrows. The dazed apostles lined up in several rows, and the two or three hundred rare apostle cavalry began to rush towards the main formation of the Denoma Empire.
After Lady Sigh and Sir Scar looked at each other, Sir Scar drew the sword he wore at his waist and ordered his hand, "Spare the apostle cavalry, leave them to the melee troops and crossbowmen to deal with!" Let the cavalry behind you be ready to stand by, we will soon be using them!mages and archers, continue to disrupt the formation of the apostles, we will completely disrupt their arrangement before we charge!"
After saying that, Sir Scar quietly asked the lady with a sigh, "Ma'am, are you sure that the apostles are very strong?" ”
"They are the most inexperienced ordinary soldiers. The lady smiled and continued, "Fortunately, the city of armor is the place where they train. I reckon all the Apostolic soldiers besieging the City of Armor were these novices. Of course, as for those middle and high-ranking apostles, I don't know very well. However, I believe that we can still deal with the frontal enemies without any problems, especially after seeing their performance just now, and I am even more confident that we can defeat them. I just don't know what the situation is on the Tiger King and Shen Lin's side?"
"Don't worry, ma'am. Both of them are very special beings. The Tiger King is still an old monster who has lived for so many years, and he has several times more experience than all of us combined. The only thing you might be worried about is just Shen Lin, I heard that she is still from the prehistoric era, but it is true that there is still less experience, but don't worry, I have arranged for my best men to assist her, so you still don't have to worry. ”
The lady looked at Sir Scar with a smile and chuckled: "Sir, I think you should actually know that Shen Lin is not an excellent commander in terms of experience or command ability. No, she's not even a commander. So before leaving, I had already communicated with her, and her role on the battlefield was to kill as many enemies as possible, and she would only be good at it on the battlefield and not so interested in it. ”
Sighing lightly, Sir Scar's heart suddenly opened. Sir Scar himself didn't want Shen Lin to command this war. Although it seems that the flanks do not have to withstand the main frontal attack of the Apostles and are slightly easier than the main force of the Dnomah Empire, this is not the case. After all, it was not only the more than 3,000 apostles who besieged the armored city, but a full 14,000 or 5,000 people. Even we don't know the exact amount. And the most preliminary estimate of the apostles is that there are as many as four or five high-ranking apostles. Once the two sides rushed to support, it would be very difficult for the blocking armies on the north and south sides to stop it. What's more, if a situation unfavorable to the Denoma Empire arises on the frontal battlefield, a certain number of cavalry troops from the north and south sides need to be transferred to the frontal battlefield to support.
Every officer and soldier present sincerely hoped that their compatriots on the north and south sides would help them stop the soldiers who rushed to support them as long as possible. But everyone knows that the defenders in these two directions are still under the greatest pressure. It's just that what can be done now is to pray.
Simply so, until now, the development of the battlefield has shown a direction in favor of the Deloma Empire. The circle was finally formed. And the real end of those apostles also officially begins now.
This was probably the last magnificent performance these apostles had ever seen. Speaking of gorgeous performances, it is when ice and fire, light and darkness, chaos and order together compose a song of doomsday, if you don't care that this song of doom brings a gorgeous death dance to the apostles, just from the scene it still looks very gorgeous and colorful. There are no words to describe this gorgeous scene, and you can associate it with the most beautiful scene in your heart. However, I am afraid that the apostles who are in the center may not feel that way.
The performance lasted less than two or three minutes, but it took the heaviest toll on the apostles. Flames, flames in a row. The frost made the land that was originally covered with snow covered with ice and snow again, and frozen countless apostles forever. Countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, each of which would scorch groups of apostles, and in the face of the most tyrannical lightning, no mortal thing could escape this punishment. Even the breeze that usually blows slowly has become a murderous weapon at this time, cutting off the flesh and blood of the panicked apostles from their bodies one by one. This is the death sonata sung by the magicians of the Denoma Empire, this is the nightmare of the apostles.
All kinds of magic swept through the apostles' array like a tide, and the scale of its coverage was so large that even those cavalry who had broken away from the main force of the apostles were also affected by the fish pond, and the apostolic cavalry, which was already scarce in number, passed through this death sonata, and the last two rows of fifty apostle cavalry suddenly turned into a part of this death sonata.
This was followed by a second rain of arrows from the archers. The Apostolic Army, which had been completely disrupted, was once again greeted by a rain of arrows, only this time, some of the Apostolic Army, which had accumulated some experience during the siege of the Armored City, began to attack with their own weapons, shields, and even the flesh of their dead companions. So this time, although the rain of arrows still caused some damage to those apostles, it didn't get the same effect as before. And at this time, those apostle cavalry were finally less than five hundred meters away from the main formation of the Denoma Empire.
The imminent arrival of the Apostle cavalry made Sir Scar's heart slightly nervous. As a veteran military strategist with a wealth of combat experience, Sir Scar knew that once these apostle cavalry were close, it would be difficult to resist the hoplites and pikemen who did not have much experience with the apostles. If you want to completely kill these rushing apostle cavalry, you must rely on the crossbow archers who have not moved all the time.
Unlike archers, these crossbowmen don't have that long range. Even with the blessing of the magicians' spells, their crossbow arrows were helpless against the apostolic army thousands of meters away. And if the crossbowmen want to attack, they must have no obstacles in front of them and their comrades. And after the shooting, they also need to get cover as soon as possible to avoid losses. However, with the blessing of the magicians' spells, these crossbowmen can increase their chances of attacking. After firing the first wave of bolts, they still have plenty of time to reload and fire a second one. Moreover, the Shanghai caused by this second time is far bigger and more terrifying than the first time.
The power of crossbow arrows is far greater than that of bows and arrows. Even though the bow and arrow can increase the damage with the force of the fall, it can still defend against the attack of the bow and arrow with a shield or, as the apostles do, a weapon and the corpse of their own companions. But crossbow bolts are different. The straight crossbow bolt will pass through all the obstacles encountered in front of it, even the armor of the Apostle and the mount under the crotch cannot resist.
At the command of Sir Scar, hundreds of crossbow bolts struck the Apostle's cavalry with an indomitable momentum. Many of the apostle soldiers could even vaguely feel a black oppressive thing rushing towards them in front of them, and they couldn't feel anything. Countless apostles were shot off their mounts, and many mounts died. After a baptism of crossbow arrows, there were only a hundred apostle cavalry left, which were already very scarce. However, considering that their mounts were also capable of inflicting damage on the army of the Denoma Empire, this group of apostolic cavalry could not be spared.
So, the second wave of crossbow bolts came. At this time, the apostolic cavalry was less than a hundred meters away from these crossbowmen. Some of the crossbowmen were nervous, but when they saw their resolute companions beside them, they became fearless again. I only heard countless "whoosh" sounds in the air, and the crossbow arrows collided head-on with those apostle cavalry again.
The closer you are, the more damage you do. With the blessing of the magicians, the crossbow arrows were fired again, so that all the remaining apostle cavalry was once again drowned in a rain of crossbow arrows.
