Chapter 602: Its Secret (12)
The cruelty of war never needs to be described too much, and anyone who has experienced war can understand it.
The glory it brings will always be attained by only a few. And even if most people survive, all they can get is emotional numbness and a large area of psychological shadows.
On the battlefield at this moment, flesh and blood are flying, and it can be used very well for propaganda against war.
But it's obviously not enough, because the real battle has just begun!
Just when the Imperial soldiers were desperately trying to climb the city wall, behind those Kingdom soldiers with magic weapons, a huge beast suddenly rushed out, it was a giant wolf, a giant wolf almost as tall as a human!
Every giant wolf has fist-sized eyes, sharp claws, and flashes of Youlan's light, and almost every blow can take away a human life.
The number of giant wolves is hundreds, if it is in a face-to-face conflict, this can be used as hundreds of knights at most, even if it is stronger, it is also stronger, and in the face of the grouped legion, it has long been overwhelmed by waves of people.
But now they are waiting for work, and suddenly attack, but they killed the Imperial army by surprise, and they turned on their backs!
Shout!
It was the sound of a long arrow breaking through the air again, and a particularly huge gray wolf was directly pierced through the throat!
Incredible marksman!
"Whew!"
The wolf king roared, and it was exactly his heir who died, and the giant wolves began to pounce on the imperial warriors even more frantically, and some of the giant wolves had scarlet eyes in them, and they would even pose a threat to the kingdom army, but at this time, no one cared about this!
In just a quarter of an hour, there was already a thick pile of corpses on the city wall, and more than half of the hundreds of giant wolves died, and almost all the rest were injured, and their ferocity was greatly reduced.
Relying on the superiority of magic weapons, relying on the help of wolves, and the support from the sky, the kingdom army simply kept ten times as many enemies out of the city wall as the enemy ignored the terrain and went straight to the city wall.
But this is already the limit.
In a quarter of an hour, the high-intensity fighting, not to mention the losses, even the surviving Kingdom warriors were about to reach the limit of their physical strength! In the previous battle, every Kingdom warrior had to face more than twice as many enemies, and all of them were fighting as if they were carrying a heavy mountain on their backs!
With the Giant Eagle Knight, a few wizards who occasionally made a move, a giant wolf, and even a bunch of monkeys from the woods on the side outside the city later, in this case, the Imperial army is still moving towards victory little by little, and the Kingdom Army, which seems to have a slight upper hand at present, has actually stepped into the abyss of death.
Rumble!
The huge ice ball smashed down to the bottom of the city, and everyone within a hundred meters was frozen almost instantly.
Arthur struck again, inflicting huge casualties, but this was no longer enough to stop the fanatical Imperial soldiers!
Victory is in sight!
With 30,000 against 6,000, at least half of those 6,000 people are weak militias, even if the enemy has all kinds of strange methods and terrible beasts to help, as long as they ensure that their side occupies an absolute momentum, how can they lose!
The sorcerer's methods had shaken the confidence of some Imperial soldiers, but in the end, they persevered and wanted to pick the fruits of victory at their fingertips!
Arthur's hands were wrapped around the power of the frost, and his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was hesitating.
Not many people observed this scene, but someone finally observed it, and Arthur's purpose was achieved.
"He can't hold on!"
Far from the battlefield, someone thought so.
"Arthur", of course, can hold on, normally speaking, he must be in a dilemma at this time.
And that's what Arthur needs!
This war has just begun, and the success or failure of the war does not lie in the victory or defeat of the moment, not in the victory or defeat in the face of the empire, and even in whether he can challenge the whole world with his own strength!
Lynch! Lynch is the key!
Outside the chessboard, the eyes of the chess players are always staring at the outside of the game, looking at the opposite side.
"Withdraw!"
Arthur didn't think about it, and immediately made the most correct decision.
30,000 soldiers are not enough for him to retreat, but that must borrow the power of Ling Qi, or expose many hole cards in advance, the gains outweigh the losses, and this is just a game, the beginning of the game.
There are obviously five or six wizards of unknown strength behind the other party, regardless of the factors of disagreement, completely standing on the position of the indigenous Arthur, there is no need for him to fight the other party in this place at this time!
Sakarandi is important, the best fortress and barrier in the Territory, but not so much that "Arthur" will gamble everything.
As an aggressor, Arthur has always had the consciousness of an aggressor, and he has always followed the script more strictly, in which he is a powerful and ambitious spellcaster.
Archduke Thor has been in business in Sakarandi for decades and has long been popular.
Regardless of special means, unless all the residents of the city are killed, or at least five years, the residents here are subtly accepted by the new ruler and the new governing style, otherwise it will be difficult for the city to be used for its own purposes.
This time, the large-scale war spells prepared by the other party were also miraculous, which Arthur did not expect.
If he wanted to destroy this spell completely, he would have to consume at least a fifth of his mana.
Counting his previous shots, this is more than two-thirds of his total strength.
This may not be much for Ling Qi, but for Arthur, it is a dangerous number!
It is definitely not a wise thing to do it with the last force when the enemy is eyeing you, and if the evil results are not obvious, it will attract unnecessary suspicion!
One, two, three, different levels of purpose, different levels of warfare, need to play a good role at different levels, Arthur knows it all!
Stop at the war, stop at Arthur, he should have done that, and he did.
Of course, even if he was ready to abandon the city completely, he didn't plan to let all these soldiers die here, let alone make the empire feel better, this was not necessary, and it didn't meet his needs!
He plays Arthur well, but in order to attract Lynch, he also has to take a little risk, that is, he has to show enough value to deserve the attention of the other party!
In the sewers of Sakarandi's city, countless voices were heard.
Soon, the gates of the city fell, but the Imperial army could not cheer at all, because there was a black torrent pouring out from behind it!
Rat-plague!
Each mouse has the size of a cat, blood-red eyes, which makes people feel cold, and short dagger-like teeth that can tear through weak leather armor!
The wizard on the other side was stunned when he saw this, and then his expression changed drastically.
This is no ordinary rat, but rat tainted by the power of voodoo, with a deadly plague!
Witchcraft, this is complete black witchcraft, he never thought that Arthur, who was as powerful as Arthur, would study such vicious witchcraft!
One hundred thousand giant rats poured out in one go, directly causing the Imperial army to blow the horn of retreat.
It's not that they can't win, it's that there's no need for the fighters to die in such a place. Human beings are intelligent beings who know how to use various tools and means. Even this terrible rat plague can be easily expelled with the right means!
The terrifying rat tide took over the kingdom's army and began to fight with the Imperial soldiers who were fighting and retreating.
Except for the overwhelming giant rats that brought heavy casualties to the soldiers in front at the beginning, once the army stabilized, those terrifying dense rats were actually vulnerable at all.
No matter how powerful they are, they're still rats!
On the side of the kingdom's army, the warriors who fought bloodily and did not change their faces, and at this time, they were also a little colorless when they saw the rat plague.
Although this disaster is the gospel of their own side, it is not unseen before, and they still have relatives when they see the tragic situation of those imperial soldiers at this time.
If it was pure elemental power, it would have brought destruction and casualties, but it would only have left them in awe.
But this method, which is obviously more like the legendary black magic, is even more terrifying!
Arthur in the sky didn't care about this, and immediately gave the order for the entire army to evacuate Sakarandi.
If it weren't for the sake of drawing out Lynch, there would have been no need to fight this battle at all, and there would have been no need to fight like this. Until now, it seems that the kingdom army has taken advantage of it, and it has to bloodlet the imperial army before leaving, but in fact, this has no practical meaning at all.
There are many generals in the empire, and this loss is nothing at all, but it is the Kingdom of Neiva, which lost nearly a thousand veterans in this battle, which directly made the kingdom hurt its muscles and bones, and this time it also consumed a lot of hole cards and back hands!
Whether it is a giant wolf or a giant rat, it is used elsewhere, if it is not like this, in a frontal war, desperate and desperate, it will definitely have a greater effect.
Now, not to mention that these means are completely wasted, it is indeed a bit of a quick success.
These means themselves are obviously telling others that in terms of the kingdom, Arthur's command, in addition to the trio, there are other more powerful wizards!
This level of control and guidance over animals is simply beyond the limits of the strength shown by the beast whisperer.
This will obviously make more people vigilant, and even some wizards who originally kept on the sidelines may therefore stand on the opposite side of the Arthur Group!
There is a lot of vigilance among wizards, and that kind of vigilance can easily turn into hostility, which is the norm among wizards.
Bloodline relatives, if they are not decisively separated, they are all destined to meet each other in the end, not to mention ordinary strange wizards, or in the case that there is really a potential threat and it is worth being vigilant.
If you just get the help of some ordinary wizards, at Arthur's level, this is certainly an unprecedented thing, but as long as the wizards who help Arthur are not so powerful, or even barely powerful, such as the level of a trio, it is nothing.
But if an extremely powerful wizard stands with Arthur, it will really be even more intolerable to the rest of the wizards, and it is urgent!
