Chapter 667: Elven Mercenary

Heavy clouds obscured the sunlight and tumbled, and the whole world was darkened.

The whirring wind was constantly blowing, and the fluttering flags were fluttering......

An old man in a bright red gown and a red bishop's crown was standing on the hillside, looking solemnly at the sky.

In his hand, he was clutching a golden sun badge.

It is the symbol of the Lord of Eternity.

I saw the old man looking at the dark clouds in the sky, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became deeper and deeper, and then he said in a heavy tone:

"The forces of evil have overshadowed the stars, and today's battle ...... I'm afraid it won't be easy. ”

As soon as the words fell, accompanied by a loud laugh, a majestic and vicissitudes of life voice took over the topic:

"Hehe, Lord Niklas, you have overthought it, three times the troops, many days of siege, today must be the end of Otto!"

It was a tall, middle-aged aristocrat who spoke.

He was dressed in a shiny knight's armor, with blond hair and blue eyes, and a high hooked nose that made him look a little more stern, while the double lion banner held high by the guards behind him and fluttering in the wind indicated his identity.

It was the marshal of the Imperial Crusade Army, Duke Rosen, who was reprimanded by the Empress for the Wells family some time ago.

The old man in red glanced at Duke Rosen lightly, and his calm and incomparably deep gaze made the powerful Duke unconsciously suppress his laughter.

"Your Excellency Duke, don't be careless, have you forgotten the Battle of the Peach Grove?"

The old man said lightly.

Duke Rosen's face froze slightly.

Peach Grove is the name of a place on the western border of the Maple Leaf Territory, where he had led his army to engage the army of Bertto on the border once a month and a half ago, and it can be said that he returned defeated......

That battle was simply a shame for the Rosen family.

"It was an accident, and I didn't expect Otto to be able to summon a fallen war beast, and I don't know where he got these descendants of the Titans......"

Duke Rosen gritted his teeth.

After speaking, he narrowed his eyes again:

"But...... The biggest loss of the day was actually the conscripted mercenaries, and the main force of my Guards Legion did not suffer major losses, but now with the full support of the Church, the addition of the Knights of Judgment, and the heavy spears and ballistas I have drawn from all over the world this month, even if Otto has a war beast, he is by no means an opponent! ”

After speaking, he looked down the hillside, stretched out his arms, and said with some pride:

"Lord Niklas, don't you think so when you look at such an army?"

And after saying that, he turned around again and said respectfully:

"Of course, the war between the worlds will be resolved by our nobles, and if it really appears above the supernatural power, please ask Lord Niklas to take action."

The old man nodded slightly, his expression solemn and reverent:

"Of course, my lord will not sit idly by and watch the innocent lamb be devoured by evil......"

Duke Rosen's expression was even more excited, he laughed out loud, looked into the distance and said:

"Then let's put an end to this senseless rebellion together!"

Listening to his determined words, the old man also followed his gaze.

As far as the eye can see, under the hillside, there is an endless army.

After the reorganization, with the Red Armored Third Guards Regiment as the main force, the conscripted mercenary regiments as the vanguard, and the Eternal Church Knights of Judgment in white as the elite army of 100,000!

In the middle of the procession, there were a series of hideous chariots, each ten meters long.

It was a round of heavy weapons of war that specialized in dealing with large demonic beasts—heavy spears and ballistas.

The banner continued to flutter in the army, and the deafening footsteps came slowly as the army marched, like thunder.

Such a large army can only be deployed in the flat and fertile plains.

I saw that the huge imperial army was like a huge red torrent, and like an open giant net, surging towards the distance.

On the other side, there is a silver-gray army that seems to be much smaller in number and is obviously at a disadvantage......

It was the army of the Frontier Berotto, which was only a third of the number of the Red Torrent.

They were lining up in defensive formations, guarding behind a monstrous beast that was as large as Beamon.

In the howling wind, the two torrents finally met.

Fight...... Begin.

The mercenary regiment in the vanguard roared into the army of the Frontier Boss, their discipline was far inferior to that of the regular army, but the years of fighting gave them a strength significantly higher than that of ordinary armies, and the strength of each of them was above the black iron median.

On the border side, although the strength of the army was slightly weak, the neat defensive formation weakened the advantage of the imperial army.

As soon as the two sides fought, it was a tragic fight.

The mighty shouts of killing sounded, and every second someone fell, and every second, there were follow-up soldiers rushing to the front under the coercion of the army to fill the vacancy of the predecessors.

And suddenly, with a series of roars, the giant beast on the border side moved.

They thumped their chests and rushed into the array of Imperial troops, their unscrupulous movements, hideous and terrifying size, making them like unstoppable mountains, crushing all the beings in their way into pulp.

It wasn't until a crack broke the air, and one after another flaming spears shot out of the Imperial army, that they ended their madness.

It was the heavy crossbow of the Imperial Army.

The crossbow attack was like a signal, and the ranged attack began.

The longbowmen and crossbowmen began to throw, and the mage groups on both sides began to grant various buffs to each other's warbands......

For a while, the entire battlefield shone brightly, and was shrouded in colorful magical light, and at the same time cruel, there was a different kind of dreaminess.

In a world of supernatural powers, the transcendents have significantly greater staying power than mortals.

Not to mention all kinds of almost plug-in buff magic, which also allows the warrior to fight back even if he is certain to die......

Therefore, the battle is by no means a matter of moments and a half.

The whole battlefield is like a cruel meat grinder.

Looking at the quagmire of battle, the nobles on the hillside showed satisfied expressions.

As a side with a large number of people, as long as there is no rout and hard work, the final winner must be them.

This is already a good performance under the premise that the rebel side has a war behemoth.

After all, no matter how strong the heavy crossbow is, it is impossible to easily kill those big men with thick skin and flesh.

However, Cardinal Nick Lans, who was also watching the battle on the hillside, served as the supreme leader of the Eternal Church side and the superintendent of the Imperial Army, looked at the battle in the distance, but raised his eyebrows in surprise:

"Which mercenary group is in the southwest? The combat power is so strong? ”

Hearing his slightly surprised question, the nobles focused their eyes on the southwest side of the battlefield.

I saw that there, the rebels had completely broken through the defensive line, and a group of mercenaries with the same armor as the imperial army, but with extremely strong weapons, were scurrying around the rebels, almost killing them......

What's more, it seems that there are still twenty or thirty mercenaries entangled a war beast, and they are playing it around, constantly leaving scars on its body, and it is about to grind to death little by little......

After noticing the mercenaries' red armor and the weapons that were obviously more ornate than the mercenaries around them, the nobles had strange expressions.

They subconsciously looked at Duke Rosen, who was the leader, but Duke Rosen's expression was a little uncertain.

"That's an elven mercenary group from the Elven Forest."

He said with an unnatural expression.

"Elves?"

Cardinal Niklas's expression flashed with surprise.

He glanced at Duke Rosen, remembered something that had caused a stir some time ago, and a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes.

Then, he asked meaningfully:

"You used the summoning idol of the goddess of life?"

"No, they weren't summoned by the idols, how could we, as servants of my lord, use those things, in fact they were called into the war before the war began......"

Duke Rosen shook his head.

"Unsolicited call-up?"

Niklas raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, and they don't ask for much, they just need to be given armor ......."

Duke Rosen replied.

As he spoke, he sneered again:

"Although these elves are very hateful, they are still cannon fodder...... Yes, they're the craziest mercenaries I've ever seen. ”

The cardinal nodded slightly, his gaze continuing to patrol the battlefield.

And when his eyes noticed the other corner of the battlefield, his brow furrowed slightly:

"What's going on there?"

The nobles followed his gaze again, and saw that the Imperial army was rapidly routing on the side of Cardinal Niklas, and on the rebel side, a group of soldiers began to rush into the Imperial army in turn and kill them......

Of course, the Imperial Army is numerous, and after the mercenaries and soldiers in the front are killed, someone in the rear will soon make up for it, but even so, the situation of being pressed and beaten almost from one side is also very conspicuous on the entire battlefield, second only to the elven mercenary group that is crazy and wants to die.

It's just that when the nobles saw those "rebels" wearing rebel standard armor and the equipment in their hands were gorgeous, their expressions became more strange than the other.

They couldn't help but look at Duke Rosen one after another, and the imperial marshal who commanded the army seemed to have an even more ugly expression.

"Hell...... It seems that it is also an elven mercenary group, and it seems that Otto has also summoned elven mercenaries there...... These damn long ears! ”

He scolded.

Cardinal Niklas was speechless for a moment.

"Your Excellency Duke Lawson, perhaps you should let the elves deal with the elves to reduce our consumption."

He said lightly.

Duke Rosen glanced at the nobleman who was in charge of organizing the mercenaries and arranging the battle positions of the mercenary group:

"Sir Bair?"

His voice was a little dissatisfied, with a hint of questioning.

And Sir Bair's face turned pale, and he smiled slightly bitterly:

"No, Lord Duke, Lord Bishop, these cunning long ears asked not to fight with the elves when they were recruited, otherwise they would not go to war, and not only that, but they said that they would also accept the invitation of the border lord......"

Nicholas:......

Duke Rosen: ......

Looking at Duke Rosen's somewhat unsightly expression, Sir Bair hurriedly said:

"But don't worry, Lord Duke, after this battle, I will definitely gather all the elven mercenaries that can be summoned, and I will definitely not leave another chance for the rebels."

"Do you want to have another battle after this battle?"

Duke Rosen glared at him.

Sir Bair touched his nose in embarrassment, and then his expression was grim:

"Nope! This battle is about to annihilate the rebels! ”

"That's pretty much it."

Duke Rosen nodded slightly.

Then, he looked at the battle situation again, and when he saw the widening gap in the southwest that was opened by the elven mercenaries, his expression flashed slightly:

"It's time."

"Inform the Knights of the Guards and the Knights of the Inquisition, unravel the hidden magic, and charge from the southwest!"

With Duke Lawson's order, an accompanying mage immediately sent a magic signal towards the sky.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves, like a tsunami, began to sound on the battlefield.

Accompanied by the billowing dust, a large force of cavalry troops suddenly appeared on the southwest side of the battlefield, each cavalry and the horse under him were fully armored, wearing red cloaks, and the four-meter-long knight's spear in his hand flashed with cold light.

It was the Empire's armored heavy cavalry troops, and each cavalry had at least the strength of the black iron superior, and the proportion of silver strength reached an astonishing quarter, of course...... Most of them have been promoted in the past few years.

The mounts under them are also xenomorphs mixed with the blood of Warcraft, but looking at the strength of the mounts, they are at least third-order or even fourth-order Warcraft!

This is the strongest military branch of the Holy Mania Empire, and it is also the hole card of the entire empire sweeping across the continent, for the third legion of the Imperial Guard alone, there are more than 10,000 such armored heavy horses!

In addition to the tens of thousands of armored heavy cavalry, there are also about 3,000 knights on white horses.

They were also fully armoured, with a faint glow of holy light, and were armed with shields and knightly swords with the symbol of the sun.

That is the Eternal Church's Knights of Judgment, every Knights of Judgment has the strength of silver, and the knights who serve as captains have at least reached the upper silver rank, and there is no shortage of powerful existences of the gold rank!

Knights of the Inquisition...... It is the main force of the Eternal Church to eradicate heresy and evil gods, and rarely participates in secular wars on weekdays, and only after the Frontier Boss announced the expulsion of the Eternal Church, the Church uses this power.

Although they are not heavy cavalry, everyone has also practiced divine arts while practicing martial arts, which can be regarded as double cultivation, not to mention that every horse under them is a dragon scale horse with dragon blood, and the effect of collision and trampling is more terrifying than that of heavy knights.

With a combined bonus, they are more powerful and agile than the heavy cavalry......

This total of 13,000 elite cavalry is the biggest hole card for Duke Rosen to annihilate the rebels this time!

Thousands of horses galloping, the momentum is monstrous.

I saw that the cavalry troops like mudslides rushed into the battlefield under the frightened gaze of the rebels, and inserted them into the heart of the rebel formation like sharp blades!

In just an instant, the rebel army, which was in a stalemate with the Imperial army, collapsed......

"Victorious ......"

Duke Rosen smiled with satisfaction.

However, at this time, an evil and cold aura suddenly descended on the battlefield.

I saw that among the rolling clouds, a huge hand suddenly stretched out to cover the sky.

The giant hand fell from the sky and slapped towards the side of the Imperial army......
