『Chapter error, click here to report』

The strangulation battle in the air has become a nightmare for the Wyvern Sacrifice, at close range, the Driffin Knight relied on sophisticated equipment to hit these flying huge targets with blood, coupled with their own flexibility, there was no casualty in a short period of time, and the huge size of the Wyvern at this time, showing a low melee winch ability.

The Wyvern Sacrifice has actually been beaten at this time, they don't know whether to continue to stick to the mission or retreat, just blindly strangled each other with the Driffin Knights around them, but this is just to make them continue to increase the senseless death, but fortunately, the musket in the hands of the Vulture Knight quickly tilted all the ammunition out, and the casualties of the Wyvern Priests began to decline instantly, generally speaking, at this time, the Battle Regulations of the Vulture Knight are to let them return to the base to replenish ammunition and then come back to continue to kill the enemy, but today is the first attack of the Vulture Knight, and the Wyvern Sacrifice is now completely blindedFrank, who led the team, was really unwilling to give up this precious opportunity.

Maybe Mordor will mobilize the Wyvern from other places to sacrifice afterwards, but now as long as Frank can eat them, or beat them to the air again, then during this period of time, the coalition forces will have absolute air supremacy, although they don't understand the use of this air supremacy, but they understand in Mordor's perennial battles, how terrifying and effective the attack from the air is, although the vulture's ground ability may be far less than Mordor's flying dragon, but with the help of technology, they are not without ground ability, at most the effect is weaker, and it is not impossible to make up for it a few more times。

So Frank didn't choose to lead the team back, but put the musket aside and took out the extra-long cavalry, the humans who could be selected as the drowning knights were the best soldiers, they wielded these special light extra-long cavalry spears effortlessly, and were able to rely on the power of the dragon vulture to pierce the spear into the body of the target.

The riding spear is in the air, it can already be regarded as melee equipment, Frank looked at the few remaining dragon sacrifices still struggling, and left the battlefield with the dragon vulture knight who was not pursued, forming a formation on the periphery, this formation is a simple cone formation, although it is simple, but under which super long riding spear, it has become a powerful force for air impact.

"Vulture Knight, Impact!"

Frank took the lead, the figure holding a long riding spear looked particularly handsome, the Wyvern priests saw the menacing dragon vulture knight, not surprised, it seems that the people on the other side are finally willing to fight with themselves, to be honest, the battle in front only gave the Wyvern sacrifices a deep sense of grievance, the whole process has not been with the enemy, it is completely suppressed from afar, this kind of battle to fight the Wyvern sacrifices are extremely aggrieved.

But now it seems that the time is finally coming to run, those little things have run out of musket ammunition in their hands, and now they are even more bold enough to dare to face themselves directly, this situation is a complete provocation for the Wyvern Sacrifice, and the most important point is that the Wyvern Sacrifice does not believe that these little things can still defeat themselves in close combat, so the Wyvern Sacrifice also let go of the other Dryke Knights who were being hunted down, and also formed a tight formation towards the Vulture Knights, launching a counterattack.

This situation made Elby who was watching below feel dizzy, although from the air, although the number of flying dragons was much smaller, but the scale formed by the huge size was still extraordinarily large, but Elby knew that these dragon vulture knights would definitely not have only these two weapons, not to mention anything else, and it would definitely be no problem to equip the dragon vulture knights with a powder pistol for short-distance shooting.

And in fact, Elby's guess was also correct, as the two sides got closer and closer, at the moment when they were about to get closer, Frank suddenly took out a musket with his left hand, almost at a distance of twenty or thirty meters, and the dense barrage sprayed out, and the firepower of hundreds of dragon vulture knights was concentrated on the three dragon sacrifices in front, this time it was directly aimed at the huge head of the wyvern, and the dense explosive ammunition sparks splashed the flesh and blood of the huge head of the wyvern, and then fell to the ground with a wail, and a salvo killed the three wyverns, and most importantly, the first three wyverns were killed, The formation of the entire Flying Dragon Sacrifice is chaotic, and now they are even more in a vulnerable position in the face of the Dragon Vulture Knight who has the advantage of formation.

In close combat, the super-long cavalry spear made up for the size problem of the dragon vulture knights in the air, allowing them to hit the enemy farther away, and the cavalry spear pierced directly into the head of the flying dragon or the sacrifice behind it, in the face of this sharp spear, the dragon priests, whether they were themselves or the flying dragon, did not have anything to block it, they could only resist hard, and then, they were stabbed through.

The surprise of this battle was absolutely fought, and the Wyvern Sacrifices fell to the ground one after another, they didn't even have a piece of leather armor, how could they be the opponents of these Dragon Vulture Knights who were armed to the teeth? Maybe Mordor would be aware of the powerful Flying Dragons in the air afterwards, but now, the Wyvern Sacrifice was only left to be slaughtered, and those Wyvern Sacrifices who rushed up finally reacted at this time, even if they were close combat, they were not the opponents of these enemies who existed specifically for the purpose of fighting.

Finally, the few remaining Wyvern Sacrifices collapsed, and they flew backwards with a wail, no longer willing to face these enemies, and in the midst of such a confrontation, in a short period of time, there were less than fifteen of the hundred Wyvern Sacrifices left, and this kind of fierce battle in a short period of time stunned everyone, especially Elbi, who almost lost his entire air power in an instant.

Even if Elby now remobilizes the air units and gathers the mounts used to transmit orders and various big shots, it will be difficult to reach the number of a hundred, and even if there is a hundred, these dragon sacrifices still do not have the ability to deal with the air enemy, and they will be sent to death if they go up, this situation Elbi is very clear, so now Elbi can only grit his teeth and look at the coalition artillery positions in the distance, bombarding his own positions unscrupulously, the treatment that the coalition forces only enjoyed yesterday happened to him at this moment。

In the face of the current situation, Elby faced the choice that Lelouch and others needed to make yesterday, retreat, hold on, take advantage of the situation and fight a decisive battle, these three choices continued to torment Elby, but no matter which decision was made, it was possible for Mordor to cause the defeat of these 250,000 people or even the entire army, and this situation could not be left careless.

The great shamans who lost almost the entire Wyvern Brigade were very wise not to jump out at this time, they all knew that the current Elbi was placed twice in a row in this day, and now it is as if he was put on the fire to suffer, it can be said that whoever comes out is ready to be used by Elby to sacrifice the flag, although the identity of the great shaman is now the same as Elby, but in fact, the situation is that they want to be shorter than Elby, with the support of the Lord of Mordor, if they really plan to take a person to sacrifice the flag, the others can really only stare dryly。

Although the orcs on the front line are extremely pitiful now, they can only blame themselves for their bad lives, after all, there are no undead people in war.

Elby's torment lasted much longer than the coalition forces, which may confirm what was said yesterday, if the situation was reversed, Mordor might not care about the glory, implying that Mordor would never choose to retreat, or that they would not choose to retreat until they felt that the gains outweighed the losses.

"If you hold on for a little longer, the trebuchet will rot after a long time, and the same must be true of the artillery, even if they have a steady stream of artillery from the rear, it is impossible to maintain such a fierce artillery attack. ”

In the end, Elby still chose the decision that every orc would choose, even if he gave up, he would not give up so easily, after Elbi made a decision, he suddenly ordered:

"Let the troops in front all spread out, spread out a little, and there will be fewer casualties!"

Even Elbi can't ignore the lives of 250,000 people, Elbi keeps reminding himself in his heart that at most, 50,000 people, as long as 50,000 people have not been killed, they will choose to retreat, Elbi is so comforting to himself, but in reality, who can resist the extravagant hope that I can turn the tables? It's just that Elbi only wants to understand one point, that is, as Elbi expected, this level of fierce artillery fire, artillery really can't last too long!

The lifespan of the cannon is shorter than that of the trebuchet, at least compared to the top trebuchet on the other side of the original artillery, the artillery on the coalition side is more likely to be limited by the lifespan.

The battle became boring at this moment, while silently enduring, while constantly bombarding, the other troops on both sides confronted each other nervously, not giving each other any opportunity to expand the results of the battle or open up the battlefield, this kind of battle has become closer and closer to modern warfare, boring and efficient.

"Let the artillery finish this base, use the round firing handle, this time it looks like it will be bombed for a long time!"

Lelouch looked at the Mordor salient in the artillery fire:

"Even if I can't kill you, I'm going to shoot you crazy!"

...

An orc hiding in a cannon pit, he was wearing an ill-fitting iron armor, the sword at his waist had long since disappeared, he curled up in it, like a black charcoal, and outside was the constant artillery fire that was constantly remembered, and from time to time he could hear the loud shouts of the strong orc commander, it was another soldier who had gone crazy and jumped out of the crater.

The orc touched his hungry stomach, and he was particularly nostalgic for the black bread and meat soup mixed with some wood-cut meat sent by the logistics, although it was unpalatable, but it was able to fill his stomach.

The half-orc looked at the sky, it was time to eat again, but until now, the logistics troops from behind did not come, this was already the second day, in two days, they relied on a little dry food and food left on the dead man to hold on to the present, the half-orc thought about it and took out a piece of dry and hard black bread from his clothes, half of it was down, and stuffed it into his mouth, the rattling sound showed the hardness of this black surface, not less than brittle bones.

The artillery fire on the opposite side seemed endless, from the beginning of the bombing four days ago, to the present, the whole bombing has not stopped even for a moment, in fact, except for the first day, many people were killed, and the following days were far more crazy than killed.

"Rice is coming, rice is coming!"

The half-orcs who were eating food suddenly heard the sound that kept echoing in the distance, the sound was so pleasant in this sound full of explosions, many orc soldiers almost didn't want to jump out of the gun pit they were hiding in and ran in the direction of the sound, and then, they were blown up one by one, on the top of their foreheads, a dragon vulture knight observed the situation, and then kept waving a leading flag in his hand, passing the news to the artillery position in the rear, of course, the artillery position behind was not clear, this news was relying on nearly ten dragon vulture knights to continue to transmit。

It was with these reconnaissance that no one dared to jump out of their own artillery craters in the Mordor salient below, and as soon as they left, or the team was a little denser, they would immediately receive a large amount of bombardment.

Our protagonist half-orc has experienced it once, so knowing this time, he didn't run out immediately, but waited until the first round of heavy artillery fire and jumped out, the food he just ate brought him some strength, allowing him to run quickly, and along with this half-orc there were at least six soldiers, who were also considered surviving veterans!

At the end of the smoke in the distance, there was a large trench, the war made people progress, this trench is the best proof, when Mordor found that the crater could hide from the artillery fire, they began to dig the crater, and then they found that they could maneuver together, so they began to dig the trench again, although it was only a few days, but the entire salient, there was already an objective mileage of the trench, and the troops from the logistics generally preferred to distribute food in these places, of course, provided that they could or run here.

The protagonist orc jumped into the trench suddenly, this is where the headquarters is located, soldiers are generally not allowed to come, and it is not that no one has done this before, hoping to rely on these trenches to avoid the enemy's bombardment, but as long as the number of people gathers, there will be fire oil bombs falling in the air immediately, and the protagonist half-orcs can't forget the scene full of trench corpses.

"Hurry up, grab the food and go back to your seat immediately!"

A strong orc soldier looked up at the sky without urging and constantly looking up at the sky with anxiety, no one knew when the dragon vulture knight hovering above their heads would appear and bring them the fire oil that represented death!
