Chapter 74: The Great War (9)
This is bad news that neither Scar Sir nor Lady Sigh had anticipated. How could the northern defense line collapse?
"Are you sure you're talking about our northern defense line?" Lady Sigh grabbed the armor of the heavily armored knight and hurriedly asked, "Hurry up, you tell me everything you know, you must be meticulous, and no link can be missed!"
The heavy armored knight who was caught by the light sigh lady pointed to his throat with some difficulty, and the light sigh lady found that she had inadvertently stuck the throat of the heavy armored knight because she was in a hurry, no wonder just now, the heavy armored knight's face suddenly turned red, which was a symptom of severe hypoxia. The lady let go of her hand and said to the heavily armored knight with some apologies: "I'm sorry, I missed, but you have to tell me what the situation is like in the north." Now, is there still effective resistance in our north? What is the situation with the army so far? Has it collapsed? How many people have fled back, and the Tiger King is still there?"
In fact, what Ms. Light Sigh is most worried about now is not what the current situation of the army in the north that is blocking the apostles. Because from the beginning, Ms. Light Sigh knew that these armies were destined to have no way to hold out for how long, no matter how hard the Tiger King or Shen Lin tried, there should be no way to change this defeat. Moreover, the frontal battlefield is the main battlefield that determines the outcome of this war. As long as the frontal battlefield can be successfully concluded, when Sir Scar leads the army of the Dnorma Empire into the city of armor, I believe that the defending army of the city of armor will no longer sit idly by. At that time, Sir Scar will be able to cooperate with the garrison of the City of Armor to deal a heavy blow to the other three apostolic armies, and at that time, the final victory is not yet hand-to-hand?
But now, the situation has suddenly given birth to very serious variables, and they are two variables that are enough to affect this war and even the fate of the Denomah Empire. First of all, Xerxes was inexplicably poisoned by a poisoned arrow with the breath of death of the Lady of Light Sigh, which quickly tilted the balance of victory in the originally very anxious frontal battlefield towards the Denomah Empire army led by Serr Scar. But before they could completely annihilate the remaining apostles on the frontal battlefield, they got the bad news that the blocking army led by the Tiger King in the north had collapsed.
Judging from the speed at which this cavalry was retrieving from the northern defense line, the speed of the collapse of the northern blocking army was even far greater than the speed of the collapse of the apostles on the frontal battlefield. At this time, Shen Lin in the south has not sent back any useful news so far.
When the heavily armored knight was about to tell Lady Sigh and Ser Scar about the ins and outs of the north, Lady Sigh interrupted Lady Sigh and said to one of the heralds beside her, "Go and tell the cavalrymen to return the way they came at once and besiege the remaining apostolic army." Sir, please send an army of about 20,000 men at once to set up a defensive line at a distance of three thousand meters north of us, and please make sure that the most reliable generals can stop the apostles in the north. Draw as many mages and hoplites as you can. There are also ranged troops!" Then, the lady sighed lightly before turning to the heavily armored knight, "Quick, tell me everything you know!"
The heavily armored knight trembled and told Ms. Light Sigh all the things that had happened in the north before. At this time, Sir Scar had no more experience to listen to, and he had already personally led a few reliable generals of the Denomah Empire to the front. It's just that the current front line has been shortened to a distance of only three thousand meters from the frontal battlefield.
It turned out that the main reason for the collapse of the northern defense line was actually the decision-making mistakes of the lady and Sir Scar. From a certain point of view, the defense line of the Northern Coalition Army was broken, and the greater responsibility lies with the lady herself. Because such a deployment was proposed by Lady Sigh to Sir Scar. In fact, according to common sense, blocking all the directions that the enemy may attack is actually a very good choice. But such a choice happens to be an absolutely wrong one. Because the apostles who came to support were moving much faster than Lady Sigh had imagined, and more importantly, they were not scattered in two places, but united in one place, and rushed directly towards the defense line of the Dnomah Empire in the north.
A full 4,000 apostle reinforcements were used to attack the Tiger King and the 10,000 Denoma Empire's blocking forces. Although the ratio of the two sides seems to be 1:2.5, there is still a certain gap between the two sides. But if you think about it differently, you will feel very scary to think about it. How is this possible? How can this be victorious? This is a pipe dream!
And the Tiger King on the front line had no idea that bad luck was coming. Although he has already deployed this blocking force very well through his own experience, coupled with the addition of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, this step-by-step approach can be said to have formed a solid and airtight defense line. However, this is only for the enemy in general. Or rather, against a handful of enemies.
The Tiger King never imagined that there would be so many Apostolic soldiers coming to storm his defenses. His defense was simply too weak. Although they relied on favorable heights for defense, these apostles easily climbed twenty or thirty meters to the height of twenty or thirty meters in the face of the magic and rain of arrows of the Denoma Empire's army. Maybe the ranged troops of various races in the human world can suppress the apostles, but once they are close, then except for the barbarians of the Luohan Empire on the back and the various orc races of the orc clan tribes can also fight with these apostles hand-to-hand, the other races are crushed by the fate of being crushed.
And the current army of the Denomah Empire is no exception. The Tiger King was powerful, and he was able to kill the Apostles in the midst of hundreds of Apostolic armies while keeping himself safe, and he would not be hurt unscathed. It's just that even if the Tiger King can do this, these soldiers of the Denoma Empire's army can't do it. No matter how sharp the weapons of the soldiers of the Denoma Empire were, how strong the defenses of the heavy infantry armor were, how sharp the arrows of the crossbowmen, and how brilliant the magicians were, there was still no way to resist the apostles.
In the last era, there was a proverb that fits the situation very well. That is, one force will drop ten. The meaning of this sentence is that no matter how high your attack skills are and how block your attack speed is, in the face of absolute power, all your skills and speed are just children's games. I don't know if the Tiger King knows such a proverb, after all, he is also an old monster who has survived from prehistoric times to the present. Tiger King should also understand this reason.
The Tiger King now feels very helpless, so much so that no matter how the Tiger King rushes out in the apostle's community, there is no way to change the situation of the battle on the battlefield of his brother.
In addition, I don't know what the situation is on the frontal battlefield, so the Tiger King is now even more worried. What's more, when the Tiger King felt a little exhausted, the Tiger King gnawed a hard bone. And this hard bone is naturally a high-level apostle.
The Tiger King looked at the high-ranking apostle who had dodged more than a dozen of his successive attacks. No need to be a little annoyed. It was a very thin-looking apostle, and he was not even as tall as the average soldier of the Denomah Empire. Moreover, as an apostle, his appearance was so ugly that the Tiger King couldn't help but feel sick. It's just that this disgusting and ugly, and very short apostle, is actually a high-level apostle, showing an ability that makes the Tiger King unbelievable.
"Who are you, standing in the way of loneliness. ”
"Hehehe, I didn't expect those two brutes to trick me here, and I didn't expect to catch a heavy rain. Tell me what you are, brute. What animal can actually speak?" the high-ranking apostle grinned and looked at the Tiger King, as if he was very interested in him.
"Lone is not an animal, Lone is the king of tigers. "The Tiger King saw that it was impossible for such a high-ranking apostle to solve it in a short period of time. And now there is no way to get out. Now there is only one way to confront this high-ranking apostle. While praying that the soldiers of the Denoma Empire could support themselves as much as possible, the Tiger King was still seizing the opportunity to see if he could achieve a one-hit kill on this obscene-looking high-ranking apostle. "What are you?"
"I, hey, hey, hey, I'm an apostle, yes, yes, of course, maybe you see I'm different from the other apostles, it's because I'm not a pure-blooded apostle. "The high-ranking apostle did not shy away from revealing his secret in front of the Tiger King, which seemed to the Tiger King, probably because this high-ranking apostle regarded the Tiger King as an animal that was about to be killed by him. "Of course, I am not another foreign race that has been conquered by the purebred apostles. I'm half-blood, hehehe, I have the blood of an apostle and a crusher in my body. The Crusher, hehehe, it's the big, big, wall-to-wall thing, hehehe. I should be big, but I don't know what's wrong, so small, hehehe. ”
"Are you blocking Lone's path just to tell Lone your dirty secret?" This made the Tiger King feel very disgusted. "Lone is not interested in hearing you reveal your past as a half-breed, and if you don't want to die, make way for Lonely. ”
But this high-ranking apostle didn't care about the Tiger King's disdain in the slightest. "Hey, hey, if you think you can beat me, you can try. It's just hehehe, even if you can defeat me, those humans will be hopeless. Hey, hey, look, why can you talk? And what's lonely, is that what I mean?"
The Tiger King stared at the high-ranking apostle who made him feel sick, arching his back high, and his tail standing up high. If Lady Sigh was there, she might have reminded this high-ranking apostle that this was a sign that the Tiger King was preparing to attack with all his might.
Sure enough, the Tiger King quickly moved. However, the Tiger King did not directly rush towards this high-ranking apostle that disgusted the Tiger King, but pretended to rush towards this high-level apostle, but immediately reversed his direction and rushed towards the battle group of the apostle and the army of the Denomah Empire.
The Tiger King's move made the high-ranking apostle slightly stunned, but immediately smiled: "Hey, hey, you can't hide from me, I'm going to pester you here, and when those beasts kill all your beasts, then you won't be able to escape." Obviously, although this high-ranking apostle was very disgusting, he still knew that it would be difficult to defeat the Tiger King if he relied on himself alone. Even if it can be defeated, it will take a long time. Therefore, instead of fighting a war of attrition with this very powerful animal, it is better to wait for work and let the Tiger King kill those beast apostles to consume his physical strength, and at that time, wouldn't it be much easier to kill the Tiger King himself?
The Tiger King didn't have time to think about this at this time, he was now trying to save the lives one by one in the Apostolic Array. But he's just doing it alone. The strength of the soldiers of the Denoma Empire is too different from that of the Tiger King. "Evacuate quickly! Evacuate the battlefield! Report this to Lady Sigh and Lord Scar, and let them prepare as soon as possible! Our defense line has completely collapsed! Run, hoplites stay, and join me in a fight to the death with those apostles!"
After hearing the Tiger King's order, the army of the Denoma Empire began to retreat in an orderly manner under the command of mid- and high-ranking officers. And when he heard that none of the heavily armored soldiers who remained were cautious and collapsed, he felt hopeless. Instead, some hoplites took off the armor that constrained their movements, revealing their muscular muscles. Now that it has reached the stage of fighting for life, there is no need to leave any more leeway. "Take care of our family!"
These brave hoplites, still in armor or not, were covering the retreat of their comrades at the cost of their own lives. And several magicians also volunteered to stay on the battlefield. They don't have the ability to teleport in space like Viren, and staying behind means death. But they still don't regret it in the slightest. Because only if they stayed, their comrades would be able to retreat gloomily.
