Volume 6: Turmoil (Remastered) Chapter 67: Another Battlefield (5)

"Crusader Formation!"

"Priests, Holy Light Shelter!"

"Mage, brush the spirit mark!"

"Paladin, Aura of Resistance! Then brush the crusaders with the Holy Judgment! ”

"Archers, what are you doing? What about the viper mark? What about spikes? ”

"Priest, brush up the blood of the crusaders, you don't have to worry about the rest!"

"The cavalry charged from the right! Mage, five meters to the left of the target, flames exploding! ”

One order after another came out of Mikael's mouth, and then quickly executed according to the command level, from the time the order was issued to the final execution, the difference would never exceed three seconds.

Watching these elite players of the Angel's Covenant lead those NPC soldiers to the ground with the ease of hitting wooden targets, even Matthew had to lower his arrogant head.

Cena was already speechless by the shock, compared to these Angelic Covenant players, the Sixth Legion was more like a group of militia!

"Front rotation! The mage recovers for 30 seconds, the priesthood, sings the hymn, and after 45 seconds, the Holy Light Shelter is canceled! Mikael gave the order and nodded to Lexington beside him.

"Second Cavalry Brigade, follow me!" Lexington shouted to the cavalrymen who had not participated in the battle, and soon, one hundred and sixty elite knights, led by forty players, quickly assembled into a marching formation of five people, led by Lexington, bypassed the crusaders in the array, and headed forward.

In fact, the tactics of the Terrans are very rigid, and the mode of melee resistance, priest milk staying, archers and mages output over and over again is very monotonous and boring compared with the division and encirclement of demons and the mobile combat of elves, and players who are initially exposed to this tactic are easy to get bored.

But many times, it's rigid tactics that make the most difference, especially for Terran armies.

Under normal circumstances, in a complete human legion, the number of first-order and third-rank halberdiers and fourth-order and fifth-rank crusaders is the largest, and they are responsible for the frontal confrontation of the entire legion, followed by the second-order first-rank crossbowmen, who are armed with military weapons. The number of crossbowmen often accounts for one-third of the entire legion, which is the largest firepower output of the human legion, followed by the fifth-order second-rank priest responsible for healing and protection, and finally a small number of third-order second-rank high-level griffins, these beasts that can dive from high altitudes are not only the best scouts of the legion, but also a killer weapon used to assault the enemy's back row at critical moments.

As for the sixth-order cavalry, it is impossible for ordinary human legions to appear, and the legions that can appear cavalry are either high-speed legions that emphasize mobility, or they are elite legions of human beings, after all, the number of sixth-order troops is small, it is not easy to cultivate, and it is a waste to allocate them to ordinary legions.

However, considering the danger of the core area of Sky City, Raphael did not mix according to this standard configuration, there were no halberdiers at all, and the front row of the entire legion was all undertaken by the higher-grade Radiant Crusaders, and these Radiant Crusaders with the blessing of the Holy Light were more powerful than ordinary Crusaders in terms of combat effectiveness and resilience.

The archers and mages who are the main striking force are made up entirely of players, and the ranged players drawn from the elite group of Angel's Covenant are enough to take on the role of firepower, and they do it better.

Priests are also all served by players, and compared to the Priests of the Fifth Order, the Priest player's skills are more effective, and they are more able to discover which soldiers on the avant-garde front need to be treated, which is something that a Priest who is an NPC soldier cannot do.

Therefore, the combat method of the entire directly subordinate First Legion is what Qinna saw, with two hundred elite knights as the vanguard, ordinary void creatures were wiped out by these moving humanoid fortresses without even seeing the main force of the legion, and once they encountered cavalry like the Void Walker who relied on the vanguard and couldn't destroy it, it was the turn of the main force of the legion to follow.

The Crusaders lined up in a horizontal formation, and with the blessing of the buff and aura released by the players in the rear, the Glorious Crusaders, who were already thick and thick-skinned, became a solid steel wall, firmly blocking those void creatures from the battle line, followed by the salvo of mages and archers as the main firepower output, and if it was not enough, there were also motorized bed ballistas in the rear, such as the arm-thick bed crossbow is not the kind of bow and arrow that can be easily broken, once this thing is launched, It's not hard to open a skylight on a Voidwalker.

When the battle is over, the second group of elite knights sets out to take over the work of the strikers, while the first group of elite knights retreats to rest, regain their strength and health, and take charge of guarding the siege equipment in the rear.

This is how the First Army fought, rigid, but calm! Slow, but sturdy! The entire legion seemed to be transformed into an unstoppable steamroller, crushing those void creatures along the way, and approaching the tower of the control center step by step.

As for those hero-level void creatures, it is not unheard of along the way, but once these are encountered, the hero-level void creatures that are enough to severely damage the entire Sixth Legion can only flee in a hurry in front of the first legion directly under them, regardless of the combat power of hundreds of sixth-order and fifth-grade elite knights, just the full fifty motorized bed ballistas, and one salvo is enough to hit a heroic-level void creature hard.

Even if it's a void creature, in the face of this kind of prey that can't bite and is full of thorns, it can only give up, the existence of heroes already has a lot of wisdom, and they are not stupid, they can't do it here, won't they run to other places to hunt, this is not an online game called Yamaguchi Mountain, obviously a hero but like a puppet, honestly standing in the room waiting to be pushed over by the player.

"Where are we located? What about the progress of the Second Legion? Mikael asked.

"It has penetrated 1,700 meters into the inner city, and the Second Army Corps reached the fourth calibration point fifteen minutes ago, and if nothing else, it should now be about two kilometers away in a straight line to our northwest." Pompey, who was the deputy commander of the legion, replied.

"Seventeen hundred meters?" Chenna was startled, because in the short time it had been since they had walked together, the First Legion had already advanced a distance of more than 1,200 meters, which was even faster than the speed at which the Sixth Legion had advanced in the inner city.

As a mage, Nora smiled and said, "It's normal, don't look at the speed at which we don't move, but each battle is not long, so there is more time for marching, unlike you, at least half an hour of an hour is spent on fighting." ”

Chenna nodded, she had to admit that Nora was right, in order to kill as few people as possible, the player legion often subconsciously adopts attrition tactics, which invisibly wastes more time, while the first legion has no such concerns, even if it is an elite knight of the sixth order and five grades, it is just a more extravagant consumable, in the case of a certain price, the first legion can make a decision very quickly, and those NPC soldiers will strictly obey the order, even if it will cost them their lives.

"What about the attrition?" Mikael thought for a moment and asked, "And supplies!" ”

"The command system at the grassroots level is still in good condition, and up to now, a total of seventeen squad leaders and two squadron leaders have been killed, and the number of soldiers has been reduced by no more than seven hundred, including six hundred and thirteen Radiant Crusade and fifty-two elite knights." Pompey replied, "Three of the motorized bed ballistas are damaged and cannot be repaired, and eleven of them are slightly damaged, and it is estimated that after two more battles they will have to give up, in terms of materials, thirty of the eighty supply vehicles brought have been consumed, mainly bed crossbows, which are consumed too quickly, according to the current number, each bed ballista has an average of only forty rounds of ammunition, and the catapult is in good condition, only one has a slight problem, and the others are intact." ”

Advancement is not all smooth sailing, many void creatures have a variety of strange characteristics, some are physical immunity, some are magical immunity, and in the face of these strange enemies, even Mikael, many times it is not foolproof.

"Have the soldiers lost more than two percent? It seems that the core area is more dangerous than we expected! Mikael said, "Change the formation, the motorized bed ballista advance to the Chinese army, integrate all the elite knights into the forward troops, and then transfer a thousand people as the support of the forward troops, and the non-heroic enemies will no longer be put on the side of the main force of the legion to deal with, and the forward troops will deal with it themselves!" ”

"Do you want to divide the troops? In this way, although the propulsion speed goes up, the loss will also be greatly increased! Pompey said with a grimace.

"I can't care so much! In two hours we had to go another kilometer to the seventh mark, where we had to clear a safe area! I'm worried that something will go wrong! ”

"Something went wrong?"

"According to the arrangement of the staff committee, the clean-up work of the outer city will end today, and the thirty-seven legions originally used to clean up the outer city will enter the inner city to clean up, and at that time, those void creatures will undoubtedly be oppressed to the core area, if we continue to grind, the pressure will be greater and greater, rather than struggling in the end, it is better to fight for greater losses, reach the seventh calibration point as soon as possible, and join the second army to set up a defensive position, in that case, maybe we can hold on longer!"

That's right, it's just that it lasts longer, not to mention Mikael, even Raphael never thought that relying on two legions could completely open the way into the control center and maintain it, Mikael, all they have to do is to keep this channel in their own hands for as long as possible, at least before the void creatures in the core area regain the upper hand, send enough troops into the control center.

Raphael doesn't think that there is only one energy center in that tower waiting for her to put the holy fire in, who knows how powerful the void creatures are occupying it, look at the core area, just now more than fifty hero-level existences have been discovered, saying that there are no legendary-level legendary-level void creatures in the tower, Raphael will not believe it if he is killed.

"Can't you ask His Highness Raphael to send some reinforcements?" China said, "Although the soldiers have lost a lot, His Royal Highness Raphael still has a lot of elite troops in his hands, right?" Can't another part be sent to reinforce us? ”

Mikael glanced at Chenna: "Those elite troops are used to clean up the control center, how can they be wasted here, if they had that spare strength, they would not have sent two legions in the first place, but three legions!" ”

A look of shame appeared on her face, but she chose to remain silent.

"Just do as I say!" Mikael clapped.

"Do you need to inform the Second Legion?"

"No!" Mikael waved his hand, "Odellus is not a fool, if he can't even think of this, then it can only be said that he is not capable, and the covenant of angels does not raise waste!" ”

With the order, the entire First Army Corps quickly adjusted.

Two hours later, the First Legion, which had lost more than a dozen bed ballistas and nearly a thousand soldiers, finally arrived at the predetermined meeting point, which was an open space surrounded by a circular water tank with a diameter of more than five meters. It has to be said that the ancient magic skills have indeed reached the point of magic.

At this time, a simple fence had been erected in the clearing, and the edge of the wall was next to two empty sinks, and various traps had been laid at the bottom of the sinks, and it was clear that these traps would become a nightmare for those void creatures.

"Haha, you're late, Mikael!" A sturdy male mage holding a thick log staff walked towards Mikael and the others, this man who looked more like a warrior than a mage was the leader of the second legion directly under the Angel Covenant, Otereth, the leader of the Angel Blade Guild under the Angel Covenant, after the original Angel Blade President defected because he was bribed by other guilds, Oterus, who was the vice president, took over the position of the leader of the Angel Blade.

His profession is a rare battle mage, which is better at hand-to-hand combat than ordinary mages, and they strengthen themselves by using the power of magic, in some ways, battle mages are more similar to warrior monks.

"According to the time, I wasn't late, it's just that you were lucky to be early!" Mikael said expressionlessly, "Looking at this situation, the Second Army did not suffer too much loss? ”

"It's just the personnel, the loss of siege equipment and materials is too great, but I think you must be much better than me in this regard!" Perhaps it is because the two have always been in a competitive relationship, and in this case, even without discussion, they can guess each other's decision, "How?" I'll send people, you will send materials! ”

"No problem!" Mikael nodded, "How long are you going to stay here?" ”

"Camila is behind with the main force, it would be good to be able to hit the Cloud Sky Tower (that is, the tower that controls the center) today, we have to hold on here for at least two days, and the hell knows how many people will survive in the end!"

"Two days? So His Royal Highness Raphael hasn't left yet? Mikael was taken aback, "With these troops and supplies alone, two days are impossible!" ”

Odellus smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Those wastes that will only drag their feet!" I said I couldn't trust that damn staff committee, they actually asked His Highness Raphael to move forward with the shelter to the junction of the outer and inner cities under the pretext of clearing the inner city! ”

"No wonder! It will take time to re-set up shelters and clear safe areas, move forges and logistics reserve warehouses, and without His Highness Raphael in charge, those bastards don't know what tricks they will come up with! Mikael said hatefully, "Damn! ”

"There's no way around it! Those bastards want to reap the benefits, but they don't want to bleed, and the core area is difficult to beat, so they refuse to go up, and now we see that we have to monopolize it, and they draw ladders, it's just a bunch of scum! Speaking of these things, Otellus became angry, "Look at it, those guys will clean up the inner city from tomorrow, maybe they will deliberately drive those void monsters towards us, they want us to die cleanly, the strength of the Angel Covenant will be greatly damaged, and then the benefits of the core area of Sky City will be divided by them." ”

I don't know if I didn't pay attention or didn't care, Odellus didn't care that China and Matthew were also around, and scolded the bastard guild who wanted to hurt people with a single mouth, which made China not embarrassed.

"Trust His Highness Raphael! I don't think she's going to sit back like this! Mikael stopped Oedellus from cursing.

"That's it! I'll arrange the defense, you hurry up and take someone to repair those engineering equipment, there is not much time left for us to rest!" ”
