Chapter Sixty-Eight: Flame Soldiers
Early in the morning of the second day, the whole army woke up one after another, and after exercising early and having breakfast, they entered the [Fire City] at nine o'clock in the morning when the sun was shining. Because of the terrain, www.biquge.info could only build pontoon bridges and march at the same time, and the vanguard could accommodate up to 20,000 people. There are still 170,000 troops stationed outside the [Fire City], and the energy source is constantly replenishing the troops.
There are no Flame Beasts in the City of Fire, on the contrary, the frequency of encounters with the wandering Flame Humanoids is outrageous, and there are Flame Figures wandering around aimlessly around the ruins after each flame is burned. When the flame humanoid sees a living person, it will let out a roar, sending flames in this direction and rushing towards the living person.
The vanguard first threw a wave of water bags to hit the weakness of the flame humanoid, and then rushed up to surround and fight, and wiped out the lone flame humanoid in three or two blows. As for the charred black corpse after being eliminated, with Haotian's acquiescence, he threw it into the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake.
Along the way, a pontoon bridge was built outside the Fire City for the army to pass through, and the scattered flame figures were also removed. Then, on the surface of the lake leading to the center of the [Fire City] rose a wave of flames, which were blazing flames burning on the water, and the army could not get close at all. Relying on the water provided by the water bag to beat the flame human form is enough, and it is wishful thinking to extinguish such a fire.
At this time, Haotian came out. There are a total of 5 [Quartet Level] in the coalition army, including Haotian, Karina, Gramon, Alice, and Asya, but only Haotian can use the water system. Although it has only been a month since he entered the [Quartet Level], under the guidance of Shui Ling'er, he can already use the [Great Flood].
Escorted by the Magic Knights, reach the flames on the lake and clear the clearing.
Haotian stood in the middle of the clearing and began to chant and cast spells.
"Haria, Walter, Walter, Walter, Walter, Gelfin." 【*The Great Flood】
As soon as the incantation began, magic and water vapor surged around Haotian; In the middle of the incantation, the water around Haotian had been flooded by the water gushing out of the ground, and the lake water on the lake behind him began to surge and rush; When the incantation could be completed, as Haotian pointed forward, the water condensed by the magic power and the water on the lake behind him all boiled forward, and they continued to pounce on the surface of the lake of flames.
"Whirl, boom, boom", "snort"
Fire and water collide, water vapor evaporates, and clouds and mist shroud.
Near the front line of the fire and water battle, the water vapor gave Haotian, the Magic Knights, and the surrounding soldiers a sauna.
The lake of flames, the natural defense line of the [Fire City], disappeared little by little under the continuous washing of the [Great Flood]. Make way to the former Papal Palace.
Haotian sweated profusely to maintain the [Great Flood], and the amount of water condensed by the magic power was quickly exhausted, but the abundant water around the [Great Flood] was maintained, and Haotian consumed his spiritual power to control the thick water flow to rush forward wave after wave on the flames in front of him.
When the Papal Palace came into view, the flames on the surface of a lake thousands of meters wide in a straight line were extinguished. Haotian breathed a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground with a pale face.
"Send 10,000 men up there to test it." Haotian gave instructions.
The vanguard continued to build pontoon bridges and transported 10,000 people to the main square in front of the Papal Palace.
This is the largest open space in the [Fire City], because it used to accommodate all the residents of the Water City to listen to the Pope's preaching, and the land here was very large and expanded, which can accommodate 100,000 people.
After the 10,000 troops went ashore, they maintained their vigilance and slowly walked towards the original Pope's Palace, and now it should be said that it is more suitable to say that it is the [Fire Spirit Palace].
The 10,000 people haven't walked 200 meters yet.
With an imaginary dull sound, the tall main gate of the [Fire Spirit Palace] slowly opened, and a group of flame humanoid soldiers wearing armor and holding spears or wearing long knives walked out of the gate.
Unlike ordinary flame humanoids who have lost their sense of self, these flame humanoid soldiers still retain some consciousness, and the armor and weapons on their faces are also retained and strengthened in the process of flames. They only obey the orders of the Fire Elves. It's the Fire Elf Knights today.
In the past, the four elves were surrounded by corresponding elemental creatures, and the high-concentration elemental environment around the four elves was suitable for the survival of elemental creatures, and the elemental creatures were loyal to the elves and guarded the elves.
However, the fire elves were defeated and sealed at the bottom of the lake, and the fire elements loyal to the fire elves died one by one due to the loss of the environment with a high concentration of fire elements. This may be the reason why the Fire Elves are hostile to Progenitor Primemir and humans.
The seal was supposed to expire on the sixtieth day of the double moon of incurrence, when the concentration of the elements increased greatly, the four elves were able to exert greater strength, and elemental life was more likely to be born. However, the fire elf broke the seal in advance, and not many elemental lives were born around, and the strength was greatly reduced, so the fire elf would think of transforming the human soldiers into flame humanoids to make up for the lack of combat power.
The first wave of flame humanoid soldiers numbered about 1,000, only one-tenth the size of the human temptation force. Then, the battle began. The flaming humanoid soldier charged at the human soldier in fiery armor, wielding a spear and knife entwined in flames.
The human soldier throws the hydration bag at the flaming humanoid soldier.
The "pop" and "snort" hydration bladder exploded on the surface of the Flame Soldier's armor, revealing a portion of the armor underneath. Then, moments later, flames erupted from the flame humanoid's body and covered the armor again.
The hydration bladder doesn't work?
In the moment of astonishment and astonishment of the human soldiers, the flame humanoid soldiers unwaveringly slashed into the human soldiers. Attacked by the flame humanoid with a flaming weapon, the flames ignite from the point of contact, and after a slight contact, the flames will heat the weapon to the point that the human soldier cannot hold it.
The human soldier's attack on the flame humanoid was mostly fended off by the flaming armor, and the wooden arrows struck at most before being incinerated; The long metal knife could not cut through the flame armor, but caused the soldier to be blistered on his hand.
The morale of the human soldiers was extremely low after one death after another, and it was difficult to kill a single flame humanoid soldier. Deserters began to appear. 10,000 human soldiers were beaten back by 1,000 flame humanoid soldiers.
Haotian and the others, who were watching the battle from the rear, frowned, worried about how to deal with the armor of the flame humanoid soldiers. Orders were given to dismantle the nearest sections of pontoon bridges and allow the vanguard to swim back from the lake.
The soldiers, who received the order, jumped into the lake with great joy.
The flaming humanoid soldier hurled fireballs into the lake from the shore, smashing into puddles of water, which were quickly healed by the lake. As long as they do not get a direct hit, under the protection of the lake, the soldiers will not be burned to death by fireballs. The lake also blocked the pursuit of the flame humanoid soldiers, and it seemed that they were still afraid of water.
In the end, the vanguard of 10,000 temptations brought back more than 6,000 people, and nearly 4,000 were killed by 1,000 flame humanoid soldiers. According to reports, only thirteen flame humanoid soldiers were killed, all of them paid huge casualties, splashing water to expose the parts of the armor without flames, and then concentrating on attacking the armor, and finally injuring the flame humanoid inside, and then splashing water to defeat the flame humanoid soldiers.
The offensive was suspended today, and Haotian, Alice, Shelfield, Asya and others got together to discuss how to respond.
