Chapter 1660: Farce and War Drama

The well-arranged fortress in the clouds was broken through in an instant, and if it was replaced by the average level of the high-level leaders of the Gate Valve Sect, it might be at a loss now. Fortunately, the current commander, Marshal Mencius, is a son-in-law after all, and this type of person either has a skin bag or a real ability. And what is even more fortunate is that Kelmentius is neither bald nor poisonous, so he has both.

In the magic confrontation between Fang Cai and Lu Xi, he did suffer a lot of losses, but he quickly suppressed the injury. The marshal knew very well that he was not just a spellcaster, but also the commander of the whole army, and the 70,000 troops under his command needed to keep his own calm. The wives and children who need to be protected also need to keep themselves calm.

Thinking of this, he simply sat down in front of the formation, putting on a posture of never retreating. Listening to the sound of war drums and military trumpets on the opposite side, he stood still in the face of the heavy figures that came out of the fortress in the clouds.

After twenty years as the "headmaster", and now the armed force of the aristocratic united army, Marshal Mencius's prestige in the army is still very high, and his composure (coupled with the appeasement of many spellcasters' spiritual magic) quickly infected everyone, and finally stabilized his position. However, before he could seriously ponder the formation of the enemy forces on the opposite side, the situation in various parts of the battlefield had already reached his hands.

"Lieutenant General Ofant on Blue Dragon Island has reported that the rebel Sixth and Thirteenth Army Corps have all passed through the fortress in the clouds and are engaged with us. For the time being, we can stabilize our position. ”

Mencius nodded, thinking to himself that the old fellow who was on the same position as himself was indeed trustworthy.

Yes, the rabble who led the eight thousand gate lords to send private soldiers and mercenaries, and was born on the Blue Dragon Island to block the enemy's superior forces, the one named Carl Ovant, who was also a rich son-in-law, was even a few years older than Mencius, and was the son-in-law of Valentino Ovant, the last patriarch of the Ovant family who died at the hands of Oluseiro in the "White Harbor Incident".

However, we all know that after that incident that the top leaders of the whole alliance did not dare to mention, the famous Ovant family has been in a slump since then, and this Karl general naturally does not have any hard backers, and he himself is not a spellcaster, and the reason why he can climb to this point today is indeed due to ability and hard work.

It is also very fortunate that His Excellency the General, like Marshal Mencius, also loves his wife. At such an important historical juncture, he finally chose to stand with his family. In other words, he was born in a humble manner, and he can only stand with his family.

Fortunately, Marshal Mencius finally has reliable generals under his command.

"Great work! Tell him that if he really can't fight, he doesn't have to worry about the gains and losses of Blue Dragon Island, he can retreat to Fuji Island and make peace with Lieutenant General Ronia Aprest's First Army! ”

"Understood!"

"Your Excellency Marshal, Major General Elioyls on South Bird Island requests reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements? Has he already fought those two traitors? The marshal asked without looking back.

“…… No, he meant to say that his own forces were inferior and the battle situation was unfavorable. Even if he is the last man in the battle, he will definitely ensure that Nantori Island will not be lost, but considering the overall battle situation, he still hopes that His Excellency the Marshal can send reinforcements from his own air cavalry and flying puppets. ”

"Then tell him that I don't want him to fight to the death until the last soldier, but the battle on South Bird Island will last at least an hour. After an hour, he can also retreat to White Maple Island to join the Second Legion, but if he can't, he will definitely use his head to sacrifice the flag before my head is taken by Lu Xibelencaster! ”

This signal soldier was a close confidant of Ellioyls, and his face turned white with fright. I thought to myself, didn't you have a strong relationship before? Last month, my master invited you to dinner.,Last year, I also sent two beautiful winged girls to your house.,Why did you turn your face so quickly and didn't recognize people?

Of course, if this kind of inner words are spoken, it must be himself who has no brains first. The signal soldier could only hurry up and hurry away on his horned eagle.

The attitude of the marshal was correct. The current battle situation on Minamitori Island is quite interesting. You must know that the commanders of the two sides, Alexon Lundrons and Hedos Abbo on the Lu Xi side, and Elio Ils on the rebel side, are all core members of the gate valve family. The personal relationship of several people is not bad, they have played all the high-end entertainment venues of Elichar together, and even participated in the Haitian feast together a few times. If you don't do it, it's a good brother who sleeps in the same hole.

In addition, the people under his command are all family private soldiers, and they all belong to the same dog-legged class, so naturally there are class feelings. It's too hard to let them be ruthless in the distribution of life and death, and it's really hard for these doglegs who were probably still calling each other brothers and sisters a few months ago.

Thus, in this East-West Armageddon, which determines the future situation of the Federation, there is such a situation: the soldiers of the "rebels" rush forward in a loose formation like goblins. "Loyal and righteous rescue" (remember this is the self-proclaimed name of the noble coalition?) The archer let go two waves of arrows, and the magician threw a few fireballs and wept or something. So, after a lot of chicken feathers, how did they retreat after losing more than a dozen corpses here. In the next round, the "Federation's legal counterinsurgency army" advanced under the cover of magic and bows and arrows, and after killing five or six more "traitors", Shengsheng forced the opponent's array back ten paces.

All in all, just looking at the position of the two sides on Minami Bird Island, I really think that this is a tragic tug-of-war.

The thought of this seemingly third-rate absurd farce made Marshal Mencius feel quite congested, and he remembered even more the fifteen thousand men under the command of Dandy Lane and Gezett, who were unknown. With them, their own formation should not leave such obvious loopholes.

"At least twelve expedited military orders have been issued, but now that they can't even find anyone, what are these two boys doing? Why are young people so unreliable nowadays? Marshal Mencius bit the nail of his thumb and pressed the restlessness down.

The young man was unreliable, but fortunately, the old fellow Carl Ovant finally did not disappoint the marshal. Since the beginning of the battle, and even the most tragic battle since the beginning of this Federation War, it has begun on the Blue Dragon Island where he is located at this time.

The reason why this island got its name, everyone should have guessed it. That's right, at the time of the founding of the Federation, the founders of the Learned Alliance came to this celestial area on the first floating ships, only to find that there was an ancient blue dragon that had settled here for decades. At that time, the founding leaders, after a short discussion, felt that it was better to settle peacefully, so they gave the other party a sum of money, which was considered to be a purchase of other people's land, but this blue dragon is a rare poor ghost in the dragon clan, and there is no treasure, otherwise with the lazy personality of the dragon clan, it is very difficult to persuade people to move in large and small packages.

Of course, Lieutenant General Aovante set up his base camp at the highest point of Blue Dragon Mountain, which was where the blue dragon's lair was located back then. At the same time, he disrupted the original formation of private soldiers in the family unit by forceful means, and hit all the projection troops with a total of 2,500 people here. This includes the most capable trump card under his command, and a thousand Tarana mercenaries from Cape Storm are also stationed here.

Facts have proved that this group of fighting nations with an average height of more than 1.9 meters, wearing heavy armor and carrying long-handled machetes, and also making a good crossbow in one hand, really played a miraculous effect here.

With the cover of the fortress in the clouds, the floating ships could not pass, and the Sixth and Thirteenth Legions could only use the clumsy method of landing the camel beasts, and of course chose the batbeasts with excellent load capacity, but relatively gentle temperament and a little clumsy movements. The first to pass through the fortress in the clouds were a hundred bats and three hundred daredevils. However, as soon as these huge flying beasts burst out of the clouds and could land to drop their passengers onto the island, they were hit by the concentrated fire of the Talana crossbowmen.

The bat beast, which is mainly used for loading, is really bloodless, except for a dozen or so that were killed on the spot by being beaten into a hornet's nest, the rest were so frightened that they directly disbanded the formation, but they didn't know where to escape, and they suddenly became a mess. In the end, before the bats were completely dispersed, they only dropped less than a hundred daredevils on the island.

Fortunately, these daredevils are all veterans of the Sixth Legion, and the mages who lead the team are also serious elite battle mages who have just passed the Lich and the Necromantic Knight. They quickly formed an impenetrable circle on the island, holding on to reinforcements, repelling several waves of superior rebel soldiers who attacked them.

If it had been changed at other times, with the quality of the gatekeeper's private soldiers and mercenaries, he would have not wanted to fight for a long time. However, their commander is named Carl Ovant, who has a reputation as the "Tiger of White Harbor...... Well, that's a shameful statement.

In short, although Carl Ovant is a son-in-law, he got married after the cartographer was cold, and it is completely unquestionable true love. He doesn't have a family in law, and he is also a fierce general who has been in the army for decades, and he is actually a little more ruthless than Marshal Mencius. When he went out to fight this time, he not only let the guards carry a coffin, but also cut off more than a dozen heads on the first day of taking office, looking like "I am not ready to live anymore whether I win or lose this battle". How can ordinary gentlemen get this kind of desperate ruthless person.

In this case, the soldiers could only continue to move forward, and launched a fierce attack like a violent tide, and they must completely submerge and destroy the small reef that only showed one foot.

It was at this time that the follow-up login troops also arrived. Of course, Major General Asterlei, who had learned a lesson, could not give the enemy another chance, except for more soldiers, there were even a hundred air cavalry directly under Lu Xi, that is, the group of guys equipped with small cavalry guns.

Yes, this is the kind of heartbroken Stinger A that can be launched on the back of a griffin or even a horned eagle.

The number of cannons was small, only five, but the first salvo caught the Talana mercenaries on Blue Dragon Mountain by surprise, killing twenty people on the spot, and the dense and extremely high hit rate of arrows was also frustrated. Taking advantage of this opportunity, more than 1,000 soldiers successfully landed and quickly opened up a beachhead.

The pragmatic Red Thunder Light didn't feel that there was any loss of face in asking Lu Xi for help. Otherwise, let the magician ride the horned eagle to do the fire cover? How many spellcasters do you think there are in this world while holding the reins while still having stability on such an undulating, flickering and high-speed moving platform?

The casters of the noble army of Blue Dragon Mountain hurriedly spread their shields, but they didn't let their own formation and firepower positions be knocked out by the other party. On the other hand, there are more and more legionnaires who have landed on the island, and the private soldiers who are fighting are finally unable to support it.

At this time, Karl Ovant, who was about to turn seventy, led two hundred heavy cavalry to leave the base camp of Blue Dragon Mountain, and condescendingly charged at the soldiers on the beach.

Yes, the federation, the country of the arcane law, has a heavy cavalry formation, but it is useless at all, and it is completely a guard of honor and ceremonial tasks in peacetime. However, we also all know that the Alpha Gate Valve is forced to die in a group to save face and suffer crimes, since it is an honor guard, the people, vests, clothes and weapons must be the best, anyway, there are only two hundred people, and this cost can still be paid.

Even the honor guard was dragged onto the battlefield, and the situation of the gate valve faction at this time can also be seen. It's just that here, at this moment, they really work wonders. What you must know is that these honor guards do not have experience on the battlefield, but they are all one in a million, and the training in peacetime is indeed quite strict, and they have long carved the concept of discipline and organization into their bones, in fact, they already have a skeleton of elite soldiers. And under the leadership of the "Tigers of White Harbor", they did break out at this moment with a shuddering blood bravery.

The legionnaires on the beachhead were badly wounded, and in just one minute more than a hundred died from their guns and sabers, or from their horses, and many more wounded. The army of the Cold Weapon Era, even a well-known strong army, could not bear this kind of loss, and there were signs of collapse for a while.

Fortunately, at this time, the more well-trained air cavalry saw this, turned the muzzle, and fired a round of uneven fire at the chaotic junction of the two armies.

On a real battlefield, a decisive and responsible commander would not give up a fighter for the reason that "there is a possibility of accidentally injuring friendly troops". And the leader of this group of air cavalry was none other than Valerius's second son, Yarg, an excellent young officer with courage and resourcefulness.

At this moment, it was really revealed how deadly it was to have only blood and training but lack of experience, and the honor guards were not aware of the dangerous approach at all, and even if they did, there was no way to get rid of it. The cannonball fell into the dense crowd and knocked more than twenty knights off their horses in an instant.

Karl Ovant blew a whistle and ordered a retreat, and the cavalry hurried out of the battlefield. At this time, the crossbowmen on Blue Dragon Mountain stabilized their positions and began to shoot again. This time, they fired with precision and named the remnants of the beachhead one by one.

All in all, such a tug-of-war went on several rounds in a row. After more than an hour of fighting, when there were more than 1,000 dead on both sides, the Sixth Legion and the Thirteenth Legion had only landed more than 3,000 people on Blue Dragon Island, which finally stabilized the battle situation, but it was still far from completely defeating the other side.

As for the group of guys on the other side of South Bird Island, whose acting skills are not as good as those performed by a certain store...... Well, don't mention it.

At the same moment, on the central battlefield on Skybridge Island, Liszt and Elliott, leading more than twenty battle mages, had also completed their magic circle.
