Chapter 115: Terror
The troops of the fierce king Attila have always been in an offensive posture in the rear, and although they encountered a sneak attack, the speed of the counterattack was very fast.
There was no need for Attila to give orders personally, and the squad leaders below had already taken the initiative to contact the enemy.
The fierce king Attila has been in a hundred battles, and just when he hears the sound, he knows the number of opponents.
The opponent's attack this time exceeded 500 people!
"Newspaper—"
A herald hurriedly arrived and said: "Report to the general, the enemy did not know that he appeared out of thin air from that place, and as soon as he appeared, he killed more than 500 of us in an instant, and most of the rearguard troops have been scattered by them! Some squads have already begun to retreat from their edge, please give the general an order to cover!"
The fierce king Attila and the staff around him were all shocked, how could the enemy appear out of thin air again?
He looked around, there was open ground all around, there was not even shelter, how could he succeed in a sneak attack?
But the incident had already happened, and they didn't have time to investigate it in detail, and the fierce king Attila quickly ordered: "The rearguard will attack back immediately, there is no need to retreat, the flanks on both sides will outflank them from both sides, surround them in one place, and be sure to annihilate the other party!"
"The vanguard troops, all changed to the rearguard, on alert in the rear, as soon as there is a movement, you can take the initiative to attack, you don't have to wait for orders!"
The fierce king Attila gave orders in an orderly manner, but he couldn't understand that the other party only had 500 people, but he dared to attack his troops of more than 2,000 people, could there be an ambush?
After all, a force of five hundred people, even if it is a sneak attack at once, it is impossible to directly defeat his army of two thousand people, not to mention, his troops are all elite soldiers.
The fierce king Attila only felt that his vision was not good, he was vindictive, jumped up and flew up, and at this moment, the situation on the battlefield was all in his view.
I saw that the surrounded troops were covered in pale green soft armor all over their bodies, and they were also very well equipped, and the advantage of soft armor was that they were light, so the movement of this army was extremely flexible.
Around the battlefield, a quarter of their troops fell in an instant, and it seemed that these people had really succeeded in the sneak attack.
The fighting style of this army is also very changeable, after they achieved results at the beginning, they did not blindly pursue to expand the results, but retreated in an orderly manner, and for a while, the rearguard troops of the Reims Empire did not catch up with them.
At the same time, the fierce king Attila suddenly discovered that there were more than 30 magicians hiding on a slope five hundred meters behind.
The fierce king Attila was shocked, and he hurriedly asked the people around him to gather his troops and reunite the team, no longer rushing forward easily.
But as soon as his team was transferred before, the formation was already chaotic.
The troops on the flanks had been moved to the rear by him, and the troops in front were bare.
When the fierce king Attila was thinking about what the other party was doing, the other party didn't give him any chance to react at all, only to see another herald from the troops in front of him, reporting: "Report to the general, there is a monster attack ahead!"
"Monster?" The fierce king Attila was shocked, he looked from afar, and saw a huge undead army suddenly appear in the distance, and in front of this army were five fat men, two bone dragons, and more than fifty death knights riding bone war horses!
Just seeing the more than fifty death knights, Attila was shocked in his heart, he had a lot of knowledge, of course he knew that the strength of every death knight was above the fourth order, and just these more than fifty death knights of the fourth order were enough for him to drink a pot.
However, these are only the vanguard of the undead troops, and behind the death knights, there are nearly a hundred ghouls, dozens of crypt spiders, and countless skeleton soldiers and skeleton archers, which are rushing towards the troops facing the Reims Empire.
"How is this possible? How can they have so many undead troops?" the fierce king Attila was already horrified in his heart at this time.
The fierce king Attila knew that although there were a large number of these undead creatures, only the vanguard was really powerful, and the troops behind were just looking huge, but in fact their strength was not strong.
Ghouls and skeletons, but only first-order strength.
But knowing that the more than fifty death knights in front of him alone had already overwhelmed him, and his scalp was numb, how could he still have the strength to fight against those skeleton soldiers and ghouls behind?
It is such an undead army, and the troops of the Reims Empire must also be dispatched with the help of the church, the twelve bishops, and the twelve paladins will also fight together, plus the cooperation of nearly a thousand priests in the empire, it is possible to fight with the undead army in front of them.
Because the undead army has no thoughts, no souls, only passively driven, they have no pain, no feelings, and they are not afraid of death at all, so it is also very troublesome to fight.
And now, among their more than 2,000 troops, because all of them are lightly armed, they have not brought the magicians and paladins of the Holy See.
So when Attila saw such a huge army of undead, he immediately felt panic.
But at this time, it was too late to retreat, because the first two frost bone dragons had already come to the sky above them in an instant and began to release frost attacks.
The Frost Bone Dragon in the sky was originally a fifth-order strength, and the frost magic attacks it released were also at the fourth-order level.
At this time, it was still the end of summer, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the summer was scorching, but under the attack of the Frost Bone Dragon, the soldiers of the Lance Empire immediately felt like falling into an ice cellar, shivering with cold.
Moreover, under the infestation of frost, the movement speed of the soldiers decreased a lot, the movement speed was slow, and the mobility of the entire team was seriously reduced.
"General, break it into pieces and retreat!" Staff Officer Octavian was also too cold at this time, he saw that the ice dragon's frost attack had a splashing effect, so he had to let the team disperse.
It's just something he can think of, how could the fierce king Attila not think of it, of course, his first reaction was to disperse the team, and the surrounding area is also open, and it should be easy to disperse.
It's just that now, more than fifty dark knights on the other side, riding skeleton war horses, have reached their position with lightning speed.
These more than fifty fourth-order death knights were rampaging through their troops, as if they were in a no-man's land, originally this force should have been the elite of the Reims Empire, and it was also experienced in a hundred battles.
But helplessly, their opponent is a death knight who has no pain, no emotion, and only knows how to kill, these more than fifty death knights smashed the Yellow Dragon, and the vanguard of the Lance Empire, which was originally highlighted in the front, quickly became like being beheaded, and all the avant-garde troops were actually harvested by the death knights under the first contact.
