393 King of Witchcraft
In a matter of moments, a large number of competition troops had appeared in their field of vision, relying on the wonderful terrain of the Five Peerless Lands and the help of the night, nearly 10,000 competition troops advanced not far in front of the Pope's legion and the camp of the ancient European family alliance before they were discovered by the scouts of the Papal Legion.
"After the dim sum, the main course will be served!"
Looking at the black-clad competition army rushing over, the black-clothed high priest couldn't help but smile slightly.
On the battlefield, the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, and now that the enemy has appeared, it is easy to deal with it.
"Notify the left and right people to dispatch!"
After giving an account to the heralds, the black-clothed high priest said to the people around him, "Now is the real battle, you should work hard!" ”
"Yes!"
Everyone saluted in unison.
In the open space three miles from the coalition camp, the two armies began their second confrontation this evening.
The formations of the two sides were almost the same, and at the moment of contact with each other, they exploded like fireworks, and the shouts of the cavalry, the neighing of the war horses, and the impact of swords made the entire battlefield a boiling cauldron.
Many of the cavalry only had time to swing their swords before they were knocked off their horses by the cavalry of both sides that came in like a tide, and the mournful sound was quickly drowned out in the trampling of the horses' hooves.
Cavalry vs. cavalry, it can be seen that the cavalry of the Pope's legion is indeed better than the cavalry of the competition army, especially the cavalry of the Pope's legion has the configuration of heavy cavalry, but I didn't expect that the cavalry art that disappeared for a hundred years was completely preserved in the Pope's legion, and it seems that the Pope still admires the ancient chivalry.
For a race army that was only lightly armoured, these guys wrapped in thick armor, riding frighteningly large horses, and moving a little slowly, were difficult to resist from the front.
However, the slowness of the hoplites was also relative to the light cavalry, and for the infantry, the speed of the cavalry was the envy of them.
Seeing that their cavalry was inferior to that of the Papal Legion, they gradually fell to the upper hand, and the infantry of the competition army began to sortie.
They advanced from both flanks and pressed against the lineup of the Papal legions.
The black-clothed high priest, who had been prepared for a long time, did not say a word, and immediately threw in his own infantry to contend with it.
Due to the limitations of the terrain, the two sides clashed on a high ground with a frontal width of less than ten miles.
These tens of thousands of troops fought together, filling almost the entire highlands.
It is precisely for this reason that the formations of both sides appear to be very thick, and it is impossible for anyone to break through the opponent's lineup at once and go directly to the opponent's main formation.
The fierce fighting caused a lot of casualties in every moment, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides had already wet the weeds on the high ground. Wet. The mutilated limbs made it difficult for the soldiers on both sides to move.
"It's so boring."
The black-clothed high priest looked at the crowded army and spoke softly.
"Yes, it seems that any stone can be knocked down by sending out a stone!"
The staff officer next to him echoed: "Why haven't the people of the left and right teams arrived at the position yet?" ”
The black-clothed high priest didn't speak, but he was secretly unhappy in his heart.
It had already been calculated, when the Race Army attacked his legion, the armies of the two ancient European families on the left and right had to be dispatched at once, and they were taken from behind.
"We won't wait," the black-clothed high priest raised his head to look at the moon in the sky of the competition, and ordered categorically, "Let the ironclad soldiers dispatch." ”
The heralds quickly conveyed the commander's order, and 5,000 heavily armed ironclads were immediately ordered to move to the left flank of the Papal Legion.
The ironclad soldiers are the absolute main force in the Pope's legions, the trump card in the hands of the black-clothed high priest, and the black-clothed high priest is improved on the basis of the heavy cavalry.
In a group of ten heavily armored horses, the knights on the horses were also dressed in thick heavy armor, and among them were four pikemen, four swordsmen, and two bowers. Crossbowmen, the power of the group when charging is amazing, there is nothing to stop on the flat ground.
"Assault!"
With the command of the commander of the ironclad soldiers, the sound of hooves rumbled, and the ironclad soldiers rushed straight to the right flank of the competition army like a torrent of steel.
At the same time, in the main general of the competition army, the king of witchcraft, Bu Fu, also said to the white-robed witch Guma beside him, "It's time!" ”
Wu Guma nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Now it's up to Master Bufu." ”
Bu Fu slowly waved the witchcraft staff in his hand, and recited extremely subtle incantations in his mouth, and the yin energy in the air began to gather, and at some point, the dark clouds also obscured the moonlight.
The right flank of the contesting army was gradually advancing, and suddenly the soldiers on the left flank of the Papal legion on the opposite side were separated to the two sides, and they were greeted by rows of steel walls, the black iron armor reflecting the light of death.
The next moment, they saw a blood-red light flash in their eyes.
Even pikemen, who were the most effective against cavalry, could not stop the enemy in front of them, because the spears that pierced the ironclad were all broken in half, and they could not hurt the opponent at all.
Pillars of blood kept surging, and rows and rows of ironclad armies were like moving steel fortresses, mercilessly crushing the resistance of the competition army.
The rumbling hooves drowned out the mournful screams of the race soldiers, and the left flank of the race army, which could not resist, began to shake and retreat backwards.
Just when the Papal legion thought that it could gain an advantage on the battlefield in this way, crushing the opponent's left flank, and then flanking the middle lane, an unexpected news came.
"Something happened to the camp! There is an enemy coming to our rear!! ”
"What?"
Hearing the news, all the generals looked back, and sure enough, there was chaos in the camp, and the shouts of the soldiers left behind could be faintly heard.
Then several detachments of sergeants rushed out of the camp and rushed towards this side. And there were some riots in the rear of the Papal Legion.
"High Priestess, there are skeletons behind us!"
A cavalryman galloping from the rear reported to the black-clad high priest with a trill.
"Skeletons?"
All the generals were shocked, and they had never fought such an enemy.
They are all experienced in a hundred battles, and they have encountered any kind of enemy, but this is the first time that this legendary undead underworld creature opponent has encountered it.
As a kind of witchcraft, summoning skeleton soldiers to fight for themselves, there are many wizards who will successfully practice, but they can only train a few skeleton soldiers, if they can train more than ten skeleton soldiers, it is already very remarkable.
Because the raw materials for training skeleton soldiers are very rare, people who need to have a foundation in force die under the murder weapon due to accidents, so that such dead bodies can be used to train skeleton soldiers.
Another reason is that summoning skeleton soldiers requires strong magical power, and after summoning them, controlling zhì skeleton soldiers also requires strong magical power as a base.
It was only in the mythical age of legends that a powerful sorcerer led an army of skeletons into battle, and since then, there has never been such a situation.
Skeletons can now only be seen in very small battles, but these are generally small groups, small groups of battles, and even most of them are individual battles.
"How could there be a sudden appearance of a large number of skeletons?" Many generals are secretly frightened in their hearts.
It happened that after the black-clad high priest led his troops to meet the competition army, the papal legions that remained in the camp began to clean up the battlefield that had just ended.
They sent the wounded soldiers for treatment, sorted out the corpses of the soldiers belonging to their own side, and prepared them for burial according to the example of the dead, and piled the corpses of the competition army aside.
Because the bodies of the soldiers on both sides were mixed together, this work was carried out for a long time.
While the Papal legionnaires were busy, an unusual turn of events suddenly appeared.
A gust of wind blew, and the skin and flesh on the corpses of the soldiers of the competition army piled on the side actually began to melt, turning into pools of blood and flowing down, and all the skin and flesh on the ground turned into blood, which was very fast.
By the time the soldiers of the Papal Legion discovered this strange situation, many of the corpses had already turned into snow-white skeletons.
The terrible thing is not worth it, the melted blood water also contains highly poisonous, whether it is a human or animal, as soon as it touches it, it will immediately die, and this blood water does not store in the air for much time, and soon turns into a cloud of yellow smoke and spreads.
Knowing that the Popal legionnaires were powerful, they hurriedly dodged, and at this time, a thousand corpses had completely turned into the skeletons of Bai Sensen, and the weirdness of the scene was like Senluo Hell.
A strange wind swirled on the flat ground, and then split into thin black gas and burrowed into the noses of those skeletons.
When the physicians and priests in the Papal Legion heard of this strange thing and rushed to this place, the skeletons had already risen from the ground and turned into a thousand terrible skeletons.
At first glance, I saw thousands of skeleton soldiers brandishing swords at him, and it was absolutely deceitful to say that I was not panicking.
The soldiers of the Papal Legion fled in all directions. By the time the soldiers who stayed behind in the camp organized themselves to kill these sudden enemies, the entire camp had been thrown into chaos by this group of skeleton soldiers.
However, at this time, as if they had received some order, these skeletons suddenly turned around, got out of the battle, and went to the outside of the Papal Legion camp, aiming at the rear of the Papal Legion that was fighting against the competition army.
"Damn sorcerer!"
The black-clothed high priest's brain was spinning rapidly, there was such a terrible sorcerer in the army of the competition army, who could create a place of five uniques, and could also command an army of skeleton soldiers, and things were becoming more and more difficult.
The rear of the Papal Legion was violently charged by the skeleton soldiers and began to shake.
To be honest, in the face of the skeletons wielding snowy weapons, many Papal legionnaires really didn't know what to do. It seems that the kung fu learned on weekdays is based on flesh-and-blood humans, and for this lifeless creature of the underworld, many tricks are useless.
Anyone with knowledge of witchcraft knows that skeleton soldiers are undead witchcraft creatures, and the most effective way to deal with them is naturally to use sacred sacrifice methods to counteract, for example, the sacrificial techniques used by the pope's white-clothed sacrifices can destroy skeleton soldiers.
As a warrior who can only attack physically, if the force reaches a certain level, it is natural that he can also give the skeleton soldier enough damage to break it to pieces.
But if the force cannot reach this level, and the warriors who have no experience in dealing with skeleton soldiers, then the damage to skeleton soldiers cannot be seen at all.
Now the soldiers of the Papal Legion were the last case, after all, most of them had never encountered skeletons, let alone how to deal with such undead witch creatures.
Faced with the sound of running and the bones shaking as if they were about to disperse, they could only wave their weapons wildly and chant God's name in their mouths.
"The whole army is rushing forward!!"
The black-clothed high priest pointed sharply ahead and gave orders to the left and right.
"Forward??"
The entourage soldiers on the left and right were all stunned, and now it was clear that the lineup in the rear was tight, and the black-clothed high priest actually had to issue an order to attack forward.
It should be that all the reserves in his hands and the soldiers of the main formation can be transferred to the rear to face the skeleton soldiers in order to stabilize the position, how can the black-clothed high priest, who has always been a last resort, ignore the safety of the rear formation?
