Chapter 36: A Brutal Battlefield
In the Brocken Mountains, the Legion of Fire Mist Warriors who were shrinking from the far side to attack the Brocken Fortress was divided into two main parts. The "Sebalisius Group", which marched from north to south, was commanded by the general "Zophie Sebalisius", while the "Beluwald Group", which was marching from east to west, was commanded by the lieutenant "Aurora Archer" Carl Beruwald.
In contrast, the "Mourning Bell" did not choose to refuse the battle behind closed doors when facing this unprecedented group of raiders, but gathered all the forces except the fortress guards to launch a field battle on the gently sloping plains.
This group of Fire and Mist Warriors can be roughly divided into three parts: the left wing troops are a member of the Jiuyuan Balance, the vanguard general "Yankai" Ullikum, the middle lane troops are also a member of the Jiuyuan Balance, the vanguard general "Burning Dust Pass" Sokel, and the right wing troops are reinforcement corps, each with their own formation.
The policy of the war, made by the prime minister of the Nine Scales, the 'Sage of the Ox Bone', Dayong Furnace Moro, was that while Ullikum's left flank forces confronted the Sebalisius group approaching from the north, Sokel's Central Army was responsible for meeting the Beluwald group from the east, and the reinforcements were to carry out mobile operations to support the Central Army.
The cries of the overwhelming soldiers were like huge waves, and the flames of different colors flew everywhere, making them seem too real compared to the illusion, almost as if they were about to be imprinted in people's eyes.
The two sides were in the thick of a fierce battle, with the "Beluwald" group under the Fire Mist Warriors Corps being blocked by the troops of the vanguard general "Burning Dust Pass" Sokel, while the other unit, the "Sebalisho Group", was completely exposed to the onslaught of Ullikum.
"Pathetic props! I'm going to smash you to pieces with the 'Nessa Mallet'!" â
On the chaotic battlefield, around the vanguard general "Iwakai" Ullikum, a hurricane wrapped in dark blue Mars rolled up.
In the darkness of the night, it was as if a wall had been built to envelop the giant's body, which was drawn from all over the battlefield with swords and guns, flattened helmets, rusted armor, and iron blocks mixed with even the cannonballs just now. They were entwined with each other, and gradually turned into a rushing stream that shimmered with cyan brilliance, and the iron that floated in the air continued to accelerate and began to spin violently.
The power that shook the earth stretched with the stretch of Ullikum's palm, and in the sound of the atmosphere collapsing, the broken force exploded, and then the roaring shock wave spread, penetrating a distance of hundreds of meters like a bamboo, and the earth that was caught in it was invisibly crushed into the finest dust.
Then, 'Iwakai' Ullikum's triumphant freedom method, "Nesa's Mallet", fell like an avalanche on the heads of the Fire Mist warriors who remained on the battlefield.
A single blow is not just speed and mass, the Iron Fury, enhanced by the "power of the zĂ i", crushes a part of the dense forest and the raiders lurking beneath it into dust.
"Long live the 'Bell of Mourning'!"
"Long live Admiral Ullicum!"
"Bring the traitors to the ground!"
"Bite and smash the props to be destroyed!"
At this time, among the demon army that was shocked by Ullikum's blow and roared away from the iron, a demon flower that wrapped the face of the beautiful woman in the center flew lightly onto the giant's shoulder, and spoke in a soft tone:
"General Ullikum, please save your strength, the enemy general has not appeared, you must be vigilant."
"Even if the props have any conspiracy, I'm 'Yankai' Ullikum won't even move my eyebrows!"
The iron giant 'Yan Kai' Ullikum, who boasted of the corner of the strongest "Nine Scales" of the "Mourning Bell", didn't even look at the demon flower on his shoulder.
The next moment, in front of the eyes of the attacking giant, three rays of light flashed through the jungle. Colorful flashes of light turn into high-speed fireballs, which are the primary method of making the flames hostile and using explosions to defeat the enemy - "flame bombs"
For a moment, Ullicum raised his steel arm and protected the demon flower. Although he was hit by the fire bullets one after another, his advance did not stop, and the giant, who was almost surrounded by an avalanche of flames, still led the demon army forward.
In the heat, the demon flower gasped slightly and asked the white two-headed monster bird painted next to it.
"Excuse me?"
"Human artillery fire is nothing but dust to me, not to mention protecting my comrades-in-arms, which is where my 'Yankai' Ullikum accusation lies, there is no need to say thanks!"
The Iron Giant's expression did not change in a single bit, his tone was heavy, and he continued to stride forward, the forest of oak and beech trees trembling low in the midst of a great roar, mingling in the aftermath and lurking beneath the branches.
In the far corner of the woods where the 'Iron Mallet of Nessa' exploded, looking at the battle in the distance, Zofie landed on the ground and drew a cross on his chest. Although it has been a long time since I quit my clergy, I have never been able to break this habit.
"Although I have long known that the real fight will not develop as expected, it still makes people unhappy."
"Isn't it exactly what you have planned, just wait, and victory will be ours." Facing his contractor, Wu Thunder God replied in a mocking tone.
"In return, weren't we chased and scattered? This time, it wasn't the heroes of the battle against the Serpent of the Rites...... With the minimum number of soldiers who had been put together to fight the Bell of Mourning head-on, it was absolutely impossible for these completely inexperienced cruspers to hold out until the battle was won. â
Zofie sighed, looking at the battlefield obscured by the dust kicked up by the "Nesa Mallet". Countless flames erupted around it, and the sound of angry cries and screams shook the heavens and the earth.
"How many people died there?"
Most of the crusaders who were temporarily called in before this war were new to the contract and had not yet mastered their skills, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they were rookies. Some of the people with acceptable skills have been configured as captains, but in the end they are still a crash corps. It is impossible to compare with the sharp military strength of the "Nine Scales", which has been rampant in a hundred battles.
Regardless of this, the morale of the "disciples" was also extremely high, and they were inspired by the new era that might be created by the "feat" promoted by the leader "Assis, the weaver of the coffin", and fought to realize it.
Zofie, who was promoted as the general because of his rich combat experience and outstanding leadership skills, had to make up for the gap in combat power between the two sides and had to resort to a strategy: using a strong attack to cover his own two generals to carry out a surprise attack and decapitation operation. But the brutality of the war was beyond Zofie's expectations.
"Let's hope Karl-Beluvald can complete his mission, after all, Karl's aurora is completely restrained by the giant rock of Sokel."
In the chaotic battlefield, Zoffie sighed helplessly, looking with expectant eyes at the place where the "Beluwald Group" marching from east to west and the Chinese army under the command of the vanguard general "Burning Dust Pass" Sokel were fighting.
