sixty-six
The aftermath of the chaotic sea of spells over the battlefield bombarded the battlefield, snow and stumps, smoke and flames, thunder and lightning, and ice and snow. The euphoria aroused by the Minotaur warsong made them ignore the aftermath and crush the human soldiers in the trenches like bulldozers. Guderian desperately swam among the trenches to break the back of the soldiers, but he couldn't do anything. Every second, every moment, every trench, the human warriors are falling. This made Guderian's eyes red with grief, and no matter how many minotaurs he cut down, it would be useless.
Achilles had been looking for Guderian since the horn sounded for the withdrawal of the troops, and finally found the Minotaurs who were single-handedly stopping a trench in a trench crowded with countless minotaurs and continued the pursuit.
"Guderian, retreat! The enemy's mage regiment is coming!" Achilles shouted in the confusion to Guderian, who was surrounded in a trench dozens of meters away. Just killing the red-eyed Guderian, where can he hear it in this noisy battlefield? Even if he could hear it, how could he be willing to retreat like this? Except for the trench where Guderian appeared, the condition of the human soldiers in the other trenches was very tragic, and they had no better way than to use death squads to stop the onslaught of the minotaurs.
Achilles looked at Guderian's condition, and then at the situation on the battlefield, and had no choice but to abandon Guderian - the situation in the other trenches, after the death of the second lieutenants who led the death squads, fell to the ground and were slaughtered! Achilles had no less anger and sorrow in his heart than Guderian. You must know that although the dragon guards are nominally led by Guderian, in fact, Achilles has been training and teaching them for the past few months. Achilles' heart is dripping blood!
Just as Achilles gritted his teeth and left, a fierce red glow shone in the sky - dozens of meteorites the size of a carriage were being summoned along with the flames, and it seemed that they were attacking indiscriminately in the direction where Guderian was!
The Minotaurs fearlessly surrounded Guderian and fought him as hard as they could. Several times Guderian tried to cross their heads or ravines, but was shot back by their heavy crossbows. Guderian had no choice but to keep charging in the direction of the human camp in the encirclement. But how could the enemy let him succeed? The corpses everywhere showed their courage and determination. The meteorites in the sky express their will to die together.
Guderian sensed the anomaly in the sky at the first time, but he had no way to break through. He was supposed to stop them from pursuing the warriors, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by the enemy instead.
Guderian calmed down with a swing of his slasher, which he had snatched from the enemy after his sword had been broken in battle. I think that the high-ranking warrior bull head that he killed before may be just a decoy to lure a strong man like Guderian......
At this life-and-death juncture, Guderian did not have the slightest reservation, and the path he traveled was all about fallen minotaurs. However, the minotaur couldn't kill it no matter how much he killed, but he was hit by several crossbow arrows in his shoulder and back. In order to hold Guderian back, the Minotaurs did not give Guderian any respite, and they roared angrily and rushed towards Guderian in pairs, one wave fell and another wave rushed up. In this narrow trench, Guderian had no chance to dodge, and the meteorites were already slamming down with a dazzling red glow......
The meteorite that reflected the entire sky reddened the entire sky made the archmages on the human side stunned and anxious, and they all saw that Guderian was besieged on the battlefield and was within the range of the meteorite impact. Just in a circle, they were also surrounded by the enemy's archmages and dragged the Flawless clone. Surrounded by Natasha's eyes, she ignored the lightning, fireballs, and ice around her, and flew in the direction of Guderian...... However, how can her speed be worth the speed of a meteorite?
"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!", ...... More than a dozen violent explosions drowned out Guderian and the Minotaurs in a radius of hundreds of meters. Fire, snow, and smoke covered the area, and the entire battlefield paused for three or four seconds before recovering. Natasha's figure disappeared into the snow and fireworks after the explosion.
The battle continued, and the Dragonguard and the Eagle Guard, under the direct command of Marshal Odin, withdrew all those who could be withdrawn. Those who can't retreat are still making their last struggles in the dense enemy. The minotaurs' steps and war songs continued, and their onslaught had reached the beneath the hills where the humans were stationed.
Although the battle between the human mage group and the enemy mage group is not as fierce as in the sky, it is related to the life and death of countless ordinary soldiers. In order to avoid the aftermath of the battle in the sky, both sides invariably separated a part of the mages to hold up their protective shields to resist when the aftermath of the battle in the sky fell on their own troops. For the rest of the part, Zhan did his best to cause all kinds of trouble to the other party.
Retreating to the hills, Marshal Odin had tears in his eyes, looking down on the battlefield in this twilight. The occasional explosions in the sky, the flashing fire, and the electric light reflected off the snow all over the mountains, made the situation of the entire battlefield clear at a glance.
"Order: Repel them! Retreat in the middle of the night! Withdraw the El Niño and Maginot lines!" the old man's voice was full of unwillingness.
"Yes!" the guards commanded.
Guderian is still alive. When Natasha rushed into the fireworks and landed on Guderian's location in his memory, Guderian was in a daze. Within a radius of more than 100 meters, it was smashed into more than a dozen soil pits of different sizes three or four meters deep. These pits form a larger one. Guderian was standing at the bottom of the pit in the center of the pit, and at his feet was a corpse—Fortan Julis! The snow that had been blown up by the impact was spilled all over the sky except for what had been evaporated. The minotaurs who surrounded Guderian were reduced to a shaken of charcoal, except for the bones.
"Guderian......" Natasha rushed up and hugged Guderian as soon as possible.
"......" Guderian hugged Natasha who rushed over, still staring at the lich corpse at his feet. He didn't understand how the Lich could be here, but he knew that the Lich had turned into a corpse on the ground in order to save him.
At that time, Guderian was ready for death. When those meteorites came with raging fire, Guderian had already given up resistance, and even thought in his heart: Father, I'm sorry! Natasha, see you in the next life...... It was at this moment that a distorted shadow enveloped Guderian, who was then pulled into a void and dark space. After about a dozen seconds, Guderian reappeared in his old place—the heat was still rolling in the air, and the terrain around him had become unrecognizable. After Guderian returned, before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the corpse of Fortan Julis, and Natasha also happened to arrive.
"Guderian?" Natasha asked softly when she saw that Guderian was unresponsive and broke away from Guderian's embrace.
“...... Master, are you dead?" Guderian swelled with a great grief. Although they had not known each other for a long time and did not know each other very well, Fortan Ulis had already created an admirable image of an elder in Guderian's heart. Moreover, despite being in the dark, this elder has never bowed to fate and the evil thoughts in his heart, and has saved his and Natasha's lives.
Natasha noticed Guderian's gaze, and followed Guderian's gaze - the lich's not-so-tall body was wrapped in charred black robes and curled up at Guderian's feet, half of the skinny head was gone, only the charred edges and the hollow skull cavity remained.
"Master......" Natasha squatted down with her hands over her mouth, tears falling from her eyes.
Guderian squatted down with tears rolling in his eyes.
“...... No, the master won't die...... He has transformed the lich, and he will not die without destroying his soul!" Guderian swallowed his grief, not knowing whether to comfort himself or Natasha.
Natasha listened to Guderian's words, stopped her tears and looked at Guderian with a look of hope.
“... It must be so!" Guderian affirmed himself.
"Well, the master won't die. Natasha also affirmed herself.
The snow had already dispersed, leaving only scattered black smoke rising within a radius of more than 100 meters. The roars and charges outside, the explosions and flashes in the sky, woke the two of them up. Guderian and Natasha hurriedly collected the lich's corpse, and Guderian carried him behind him, charging towards the human camp under the cover of a dirt pit and snow.
"I'm going to heaven to help...... My detachment, they struggled even more. At the edge of the pit, Natasha and Guderian stopped and hid. At this time, the pit was approaching the side of the enemy camp, and there were already enemies exploring the edge of the pit.
"Good. I rushed over with the master. They weren't prepared, I could, trust me. Guderian pinned the lich's body behind him. As long as he was taken by surprise, Guderian was confident that he could still rush through the dense enemy formation in front. was surrounded before, and it was the enemy who desperately stopped Guderian's every movement and every breath, so that Guderian could not break through at all. Coupled with the dense individual heavy crossbows all around, Guderian had no way to dodge waves of crossbow arrows in the air. And this will be different, rushing from behind the enemy, they simply do not have time to react. Even if he reacts, Guderian is already far away, so what can he do?
"Okay! Natasha nostalgically stroked Guderian's cheek, then glanced at the lich's body before applying a shield to herself and flew away.
As Natasha took to the air, Guderian took a step and rushed with the lich's body on his back and the dense furrow of enemies in the trench ahead...... As long as you rush over, it is a human camp......
