Chapter 5: Cold Weapon Battlefield

"Lord Marquis, don't you still have 300,000 troops under your rule, and if you don't have enough soldiers, I ......"

"Needless to say, 80,000 at most, that's all."

It's not that Marquis Mark doesn't want to send troops, but he can't, and of his 300,000 troops, 200,000 have already gone to support the Grand Canyon of Hill, which is Duke Edward Hewlett's sphere of influence.

According to common sense, Marquis Mark shouldn't send soldiers to the Hill Grand Canyon, the black soil plains are about to be broken, and he still has the leisure to support others?

Marquis Mark was also forced to be helpless, the status of the duke and the marquis was not on the same level, the duke's order, Marquis Mark did not dare to refute, and there were many interests and his handle involved.

At this moment, a knight in silver armor arrived on a fast horse, and the knight in silver armor did not wait for the horse to stop, he turned over and jumped off the horse, and landed smoothly.

"Lord Mark 'Earl', Your Majesty has an order, the Black Earth Plain front is urgent, because the Count has not participated in military politics for many years, during the Black Earth Plain War, all matters are under the management of Carlos 'Legion Commander', His Royal Highness has sent 300,000 troops to reinforce the Black Earth Plain front, Earl, please return to the Holy Dragon City as soon as possible, this is His Royal Highness's personal order."

The knight in silver armor took out a short dagger studded with gems from his bosom, and when he saw it, everyone around him fell to his knees with a bang.

"You just... Call me what? ”

Marquis Mark swallowed.

"Lord Count."

Hearing this, Marquis Mark, no, it should be Count Mark who fell directly from his horse.

"Also, Lord Earl, Your Highness has personally sent someone to investigate the renovation of the Black Iron Fortress 14 years ago......"

What the Silver Armor Knight said, Count Mark couldn't hear it anymore, and his ears were buzzing, for hereditary marquises, they would not be demoted in general, unless it involved the sin of killing their heads, such as the cost of renovating the Black Earth Fortress.

The stench spread, and the 'Marquis', who was still majestic before, couldn't even stand up straight at the moment, and collapsed limply on the ground, and the officials who had been slapping their horses before took a few steps back.

Count Mark was demoted by one level after the incident, and he may even lose his head, but the status of the blood lion Carlos has risen sharply, and he has been directly transferred from the deputy commander to the regular, if calculated according to the official position of the empire, the position of the commander of the Iron Blood Legion is higher than that of the earl, and the commander of the army has the power of the army after all.

"When will the 300,000 soldiers arrive?"

Carlos took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"For a day at most, this is from the 'Hill Grand Canyon'."

"Good."

Carlos pulled the adjutant beside him and said a few words to the adjutant.

"Legion Commander, won't this be too rushed, reinforcements will arrive soon, why don't we ......"

The relationship between the adjutant and Carlos is obviously unusual, and he knows how to judge the situation very well, and immediately changed his name to the commander of the legion, without the slightest sense of disobedience.

"Don't wait for reinforcements yet, if the tribe's miscellaneous garrison fortress is a good thing, and I am most afraid that they will be destroyed from the inside of the fortress, don't forget, their purpose is to invade us."

Carlos sighed, although attacking the fortress will cause an astonishing number of casualties, and one of his orders will cause hundreds of thousands of lives to die on the battlefield, but the war has developed so far, it is no longer a matter of the death and injury rate, as the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, Carlos is ruthless enough, otherwise he will not be able to climb to this position.

"My subordinates understand."

The adjutant immediately informed his subordinates, who conveyed the order, and the army continued to advance towards the Black Earth fortress.

As the army advanced, his eyesight was extremely strong, and Su Xiao, who was in a higher position, could see the situation of the black soil border plug clearly.

At this time, the army of the tribe was stationed in front of the black soil border fortress, and unlike what was imagined, the tribe side did not use the border fortress to build defenses, but arranged troops on a highway in front of the border fortress.

In the tribal army, most of them are orcs, orcs are actually just a general term, including minotaurs, kobolds, lion-headed people and other subhuman races, in addition to the head is a beast feature, most of these races are similar to humans, but the body is taller than humans, with an average height of about 2.5 meters.

Of course, the army of the tribal side not only has orcs, but also goblins and dwarves, goblins are green-skinned, no matter how you look at it, they look like goblins, as for dwarves, their height is about 1.3 meters, although they are short, but these dwarves who like to have big beards are exceptionally stocky, and they either carry short-handled war hammers or broad-bladed axes in their hands, as for the trolls, they haven't seen it yet.

On the tribal side, most of the orcs are cannon fodder, except for the minotaurs, and the dwarves are the craftsmen of the tribal side, and their talent in forging is far greater than that of most races, of course, the dwarves are also very strong in combat power, and they belong to the backbone of the tribal side, and their combat effectiveness is only under the trolls.

As for the goblins, these guys are good at alchemy, have good magical talent and affinity, don't look at their short stature, but they are war experts, and the magic war weapons of the tribe are all from their hands.

The last troll is the finale race, although most of the troll tribe is not very good, but the innate strong body and a certain degree of demon immunity skin make them infantry killers, but the troll clan is scarce, and they will not fight until the critical moment.

In terms of troops, the tribal side is about twice as large as the imperial side, but most of them are cannon fodder orcs, and if they really fight, it is not certain who wins and who loses.

On the human side, there are weapons made by the elves, and on the tribal side, the dwarves are responsible for crafting weapons, and each has its own strengths in terms of weapons.

Airplanes~

The war horn on the Imperial side sounded, which basically means that the war is about to begin.

Rumble!

A low muffled sound came out from the rear of the tribal camp, and inside the black earth fortress, black stone chips flew up dozens of meters high, if it wasn't close enough, the explosion could not be heard at all, this should be a bomb made by goblins.

Seeing this scene, all the soldiers of the imperial side were already furious, and what the legion commander Carlos feared the most happened, the tribe side was blowing up the Black Earth Fortress from the inside.

Once the fortress is blown out of a large gap, even if the Imperial side succeeds in retaking it, it will face endless commotion from the tribal side.

It seems that the tribal side also knows that the imperial side will definitely make unremitting efforts to recapture the fortress, so as the invaders, they simply do not defend this place and directly destroy the fortress, and then the tribal army rushes out of the territory of the empire, breaks into pieces, and wantonly destroys, then the empire will suffer.

Knock, knock, knock......

The deafening sound of war drums came from the rear of the Imperial army, and a giant clan about ten meters tall was holding a drum hammer in his hand and striking a giant drum with runes on the surface.

Hearing this drum, Su Xiao's heartbeat began to speed up, and the speed of blood flow increased.

[You gain the buff effect of 'Predator Legion War Drums', Movement Speed +5%, Strength +1, Stamina +1, Pain -20.] 】

It was a huge buff, and as the drums sounded, the Imperial soldiers began to march forward in unison.

Crash. Crash......

With the beating rhythm of the war drums, the steps of more than 100,000 people agreed and made a sound like waves.

The drums beat faster and faster, and so did the footsteps of the soldiers, slowly changing from trampling to trotting, and finally to galloping.

"Warriors, kill all the weak Imperial Army."

Su Xiao heard an angry roar in front of him, but he was in the crowd of the imperial army, and he didn't see any tribal army.

As a plain war, there are no tactics at all, only battle formations.

The spearmen in front of the Imperial Army charged quickly, aiming their spears at the enemy, and the rows of spears formed a horizontal line, which was the result of several years of training.

The two armies converged like two rushing currents facing each other, and just as the spearmen at the front were still three meters away from the Tribal army, they suddenly stopped.

Buzz~Buzz~

The frequency of the war horn changed, and the spearmen turned sideways neatly, and a shield soldier with a tower shield in his hand rushed out from behind.

Bang!

A large platoon of shield soldiers holding nearly two-meter-high tower shields stood in front of the spearmen, and the tower shields met the enemy, and spear halberds poked out of the gaps in the tower shields.

The two armies collided together, and the cannon fodder orcs in front of the tribal army were pierced by spears like strings of sugar gourds, and the blood instantly stained the ground at the intersection of the two armies red.

The sound of flesh being pierced was continuous, and the screams were endless, and if there was a person who was not strong-willed, the mere hearing of this sound would make the soul scatter.

Judging from the preliminary confrontation, it was obvious that the Imperial Army had the advantage, but the strength of the tribal side was too much.

The clanging of weapons collided in a row, shredded flesh splashed, blood spilled, shouts of killing rushed to the sky, this is the battlefield, the battlefield is purgatory, there is no humanity, there is no use of sympathy, the only thought is to kill the enemy.

After two minutes of fighting between the two armies, the heavy shield soldiers in the front row of the Imperial Army were broken, and the soldiers of both sides gradually gathered together in an interspersed shape, and the chaotic white-knuckle battle began.

Su Xiao, who was in the middle of the front of the imperial army, still didn't see the enemy, there were too many soldiers on both sides, and he couldn't hit him for a while, but it was very fast.

Sou~

The whistling sound of breaking wind came overhead, and Su Xiao subconsciously lay down, he couldn't pretend to beep on the battlefield, he would really die.

Rumble!

A green glass bottle the size of a water tank fell 100 meters away from Su Xiao, and as soon as the glass bottle hit the ground, it exploded, and the green flames spread rapidly to the surroundings.

Call~

Where the green fire passed, the imperial soldiers instantly turned into ashes, the ground was vitrified, the sour smell diffused, the green fire spread for dozens of meters and then drifted, the ground presented an oval glass surface, about fifty meters in diameter, and the armor and weapons melted into molten iron could be faintly seen on the vitrified ground.

Su Xiao immediately stood up, and a kobold with a scimitar stained with minced meat in his hand rushed towards him screaming, and he finally saw the enemy.

The dragon slashing flash was in front of him, Su Xiao took a step forward, the knife flashed, and the scimitar in the kobold's hand was cut off, and the kobold was cut in two at the same time, and he was directly killed in seconds.

[You kill the Horde Army Inferior Infantry: Kobold.] 】

[You gain 10 Paradise Coins.] 】

[Your talent 'Soul Eater' is activated, permanently increasing mana by 6.] 】

……

Judging from the current situation, in less than ten minutes, the Soul Eater can devour 200 mana, and the health and mana he recovers from killing enemies will be even more.

Talent Effect (Passive): After killing the target, it will permanently capture 1~30 mana points, and restore the same amount of mana and health (if you permanently increase 30 mana after killing an enemy, 30 mana and health will be restored).

Tip: Each world spawn can capture up to 200 mana points, if the capture of mana reaches the upper limit, the Soul Eater will be fully activated, and the recovery effect after killing the enemy will be increased by 50% (if you have successfully captured 200 mana points, the corresponding amount of mana and health will still be restored according to the enemy's strength after killing, and the recovery effect will be increased by 50%)).

As soon as Su Xiao killed a kobold, he immediately felt more than a dozen unkind glances.

"There is an enemy general here, kill him!"

More than a dozen cannon fodder orcs rushed towards Su Xiao, and the human soldiers beside Su Xiao subconsciously stayed away from Su Xiao without discipline, this was actually the way to survive on the battlefield.

Su Xiao kicked the orc corpse under his feet, he had never participated in a large-scale cold weapon war, and he found that although it was dangerous here, it was very good, the strong smell of blood and the screaming of killing were stimulating his nerves, and a smile appeared on his face.
