Chapter 462: A War Without a Victor (I)

In May 1357 of the Valley Calendar, a piece of history destined to be remembered, and also an important part of Zhang Cheng's crazy plan, was finally staged on the plain ten kilometers away from the walls of Neverwinter.

The expeditionary force from Waterdeep City has now converged with the guards of Neverwinter, lined up in a neat phalanx, ready for a fierce battle.

In particular, the sheer size of the mage group and the ecclesiastical organization was enough to plunge most of the enemies into utter despair.

That's why there's not a single city on the entire West Coast that dares to rival Waterdeep.

Even though they knew that they were about to face the wielder of the Shattered Demon Crystal and a powerful black dragon, they still had no intention of backing down, and instead of hiding behind the wall and shivering, they chose to take the initiative and prepare to defeat the enemy directly and head-on.

Of course, Luskan's army is not bad, and it is even stronger, with more than 10,000 cannon fodder composed of monsters alone.

Under the hint of the shattered crystals, they are not only fanatical, but they will never have to worry about morale, even if they are all dead, they will not disobey their master's orders.

After all, the south of the Spine of the World is not the desolate tundra of Icewind Dale, and for a powerful mage, it is easy to find various goblins, orcs, half-orcs, and gnolls tribes if they are willing to spend some time, and then use the power of the Shattered Demon Crystal to control their leaders and make them use for their own use.

In addition, the church of Bane, the god of tyranny, has also sent many priests and dark guards to join it, intending to take the opportunity to expand its influence.

All in all, this war is no longer a contest between the two cities of Waterdeep and Luskan for supremacy in the Northlands, but more about faith and the gods hidden in the shadows.

Standing on a high platform made of trees and dirt, Deltagar looked at the neatly lined enemy on the opposite side, suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, "My dear friend, what do you think we should do with Neverwinter after this war is over?"

"Of course ruined it! I hate this city! I hate that old guy who flaunts goodness and justice all day long!" said Yaru Taras without hiding his hatred for Neverwinter.

"What about you, Respected Lord of the North Tower?" Deltagar didn't know what he was thinking, and turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng.

"I think it's a waste to destroy it. If you don't mind, you can leave this city to me to renovate, and I promise it will be a bridgehead for our assault on Waterdeep in a few years. Zhang Cheng quietly gave another answer.

Perhaps others would think that Delta had a very high chance of winning and taking Neverwinter, but as the mastermind behind it, he knew very well that the other party had no hope of victory at all.

After the Grand Commander led his army through the Winterless Forest, Gar, who had been waiting for a long time, led his monsters to capture Luskan, and the dragonman mages and lichs of the Arcane Brotherhood's lair joined forces to take control of the Mage Tower.

In other words, this seemingly powerful army in front of them has actually lost the support of the rear, and no matter what the final outcome of the war is, what awaits them will be defeat.

"Since you love the city, it'll be yours when we defeat the forces of Waterdeep. With that, Delta nodded at the herald.

The latter understood this, and immediately raised a huge trumpet and blew it down with all his strength.

Woo-woo-woo-

With a muffled voice echoing over the plains, Luskan's army finally began to move.

I saw thousands of soldiers with longbows running out from behind the phalanx, quickly forming three rows, and then took out arrows, drew their bows, and shot them at the sky.

Normally, such a distance is clearly far beyond the maximum range of the longbow.

But then, magical rituals led by low-level mages and apprentices make up for the shortcomings.

After a brief chant of the incantation, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared out of thin air, blowing all the arrows high, drawing a graceful parabola, and when it reached the highest point, it rained down on the combined forces of Waterdeep and Neverwinter like a raindrop.

"Raising the Shield !!!!!!"

"Raise your shield!"

"Raise your shield!"

......

The officers of Waterdeep City spotted the arrows falling from the sky and immediately issued corresponding orders.

Moment!

Thousands of shields were pieced together to form an airtight shield wall.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang......

Although there were still a few arrows that passed through the gaps and caused minor damage and confusion, most of them were blocked by shields, and only two dozen wounded were quickly dragged to the rear for the priest to heal.

"Hahahaha! What a stupidity! It only took a rain of arrows for them to gather their soldiers together. ”

Instead of being annoyed, Delta laughed happily when he saw this, and held up the Shattered Demon Crystal to bask it in the midday sun.

About a few seconds later, a dazzling white light fell from the sky, directly plowing out a clearing in the middle of the formation of the alliance forces of Deep Water City and Neverwinter, and all the soldiers who came into contact with it were all vaporized in an instant, and their armor and weapons were also honored into dark red molten iron, and its terrifying power immediately made many soldiers shake in their hearts.

"Long live the great Delta!"

"For the glory of the master!"

"Charge !!"

"Kill all these humans!"

The monsters, who had long been unable to resist the desire to kill and destroy, immediately attacked the enemy in chaos like crazy.

The trolls who rushed to the front, completely ignoring the sharp spears and short swords, jumped up and tore through the formation.

Their terrifying regenerative abilities, even if they are chopped into a dozen pieces, can be quickly pieced together, and some parts that have been separated for too long will even slowly turn into another smaller, independent entity.

To really kill this, you need to use fire or strong acid.

Unfortunately, Waterdeep may be wealthy, but it can't equip every soldier with enchanted weapons or alchemical items like Blazing Gel.

Although many of the trolls were killed by officers armed with flaming swords, many more rushed in, causing a lot of trouble for the soldiers in the front row.

Before they could finish off the terrible trolls, the ogres who followed them swung their sticks and tossed the entire phalanx to pieces.

The Great Goblin and the Gnoll quickly plunged into the middle to kill, and in less than ten minutes, more than 200 Waterdeep soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

There is no doubt that Delta is clearly better at exploiting the monsters' innate strengths than the idiot-like Akar Kessot.

For example, he will let the hard-to-kill trolls rush in front to attract firepower, and for example, let the powerful ogres destroy the formation, in short, he will not use the stupid tactics of adding fuel to give the enemy a chance to destroy his own living force like the former......
