Chapter 1578: A Chaotic Battle Situation

The main force of the Sixth Army was in a rather chaotic battlefield situation at this time, which would be a headache at first glance. Of course, this is not to say that they are in a bad situation. Regardless, the Eastern Legion (before Sky Rose was rebuilt) was the only double-sped red stick that could be fought in the entire Federation.

Although the high-level of the Federation is unlikely to be full of martial virtue in the next era, no matter how unbearable Feira is, after all, there has always been the Henas Undead Council, a mortal enemy, and finally knows that even if it is a façade, it still needs to have an elite army that can fight. As a result, there was the fortress of Daroshul, which was armed to the teeth, and the Sixth Legion, which was stationed there, which maintained the stability of the eastern frontier of the Federation for decades.

Later, with the fall of the Plague King and the destruction of the Dark Sky, the Henas Peninsula also returned to the rule of the "allies". Daroshul could still serve as a transportation hub in the east, but it would be a bit inappropriate to continue to maintain a large army there...... Well, that's at least what the top federal officials claim in Parliament. As a result, a large number of officers and veterans with combat experience were either transferred to other posts or simply forced to retire to fend for themselves, and the supply of soldiers was no longer effectively guaranteed. In just two or three years, the Eastern Legion, which had more than 30,000 elite soldiers at the time of its full establishment, now has only more than 20,000 people left on the register, and half of them are fresh faces.

Many of the legion's key locations have also begun to be filled with a large number of corpses who have come out of nowhere. Of course, this is very understandable, in the past, the Eastern Army was the front line, and there were big battles at both ends in three days, and a group of nobles and gentlemen were naturally unwilling to run to this kind of place to find death. But now, Daroshur has changed from a border military fortress to an eastern transportation and trade hub, so the garrison here is naturally a big fat difference.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the morale, morale, and combat effectiveness of the military will decline.

However, the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how you say it, this is also the world's most famous army back then, and the current corps commander Asterre can also be regarded as a generation of young famous generals, and he was also the idol of the young people of the Federation before a certain protagonist and his friends made a gorgeous debut. Thanks to his efforts, the legion still retained a considerable part of the troops that could fight, about six or seven thousand people, and was divided into four flag regiments in total. He is also trying his best to ensure that the main commanders of these troops are the old brothers of the past, and he is trying his best to resist the intervention of the gentlemen and military bureaucrats sent by the central government, so he has not been polluted by this bad atmosphere for the time being.

This time, he brought the strength of the three flag regiments. This includes nearly 4,000 heavily armed infantry, 1,000 professional marksmen, 30 battle mages, and more than 100 puppets of various types plus matching spirit technicians. There was also a brigade of winged guerrillas and a squadron of eagle cavalry to serve as guerrilla scouts.

In addition, stationed in Darroshul and under the direct command of the commander of the Sixth Army, the Eastern Cruise Fleet, Astre also carried most of the combat ships, which were seven large and small warships, including the high-speed battleship Arras.

It is certainly impossible for a force of this size to carry an army of the undead, even during the height of the Black Flag Wingers in Namoa. However, at this time and that time, the high-level undead lords are basically cold, the orcs of Orgrimmar have also stopped cooking, and even the plague king and the bloodthirsty king are hanging. And the winged bandits of Namoa, after many blows, have scattered their bones all over the black earth hills, the Henas Peninsula and the land of Orgrimmar, and how many dead remnants are left is really a mystery.

According to Asterlei's judgment, even the rest of the Namoan wingers rushed over, and then counted some undead and giants who were hiding in the mountains and other demons and monsters, even if the other party had unified command and scheduling, the combat power was even five or five with the army of more than 6,000 people under his command.

The current battle situation has indeed confirmed his judgment.

An infantry force of about 1,000 men lined up in a relatively flat depression in the middle of the two hills. They are attacking a cottage built against a rock wall under the cover of a large battle puppet of the Thundering S23 type used by ten positions for attacking fortifications. These large golems, which are 2 meters tall and more than 4 meters long, resemble rhinoceros, but can switch between spider claws and pulleys under their feet. The weapon is the spiral ramming angle at the top with a very man's romantic feelings, plus a bed crossbow hanging on both sides. Overall, this big guy is a self-disciplined and capable of throwing arrows. Since it is possible to adopt a spider-shaped octopus, it is also possible to climb on mountain rocks.

In addition, five battle mages cast spells in succession under the cover of the infantry. Their hard power is actually only average, but they are quite delicately coordinated, and the timing of their spells is quite clever. As soon as the previous one's cast effect ended, the next one came with a bang. The combination of greasy and fire spells creates a sea of fire on the rock wall, and the subtle combination of earth wall spells and air fluctuations creates an effect that is almost like earthquake.

The cooperation of five experienced battle mages, coupled with thirty or forty crossbowmen, crushed the hundreds of winged men on the rock village to the point that they could barely raise their heads. Akdina almost clapped her hands when she saw it in the sky.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, if the Federation infantry wants to break through the city, it is actually a matter of time.

If this single battlefield could represent the whole story, the Sixth Legion might be on the verge of an epic victory, right? But the problem is that the scale of the battlefield in front of you is actually quite large, and it is divided into many plates for some reason. The siege of the rock village is just one of them.

At the mouth of the valley in the depression, there were also about 300 federal soldiers stationed outside the valley. Their opponents are a group of undead. Mostly skeletons and zombies, and even a small number of ghouls, at first glance there should be more than two thousand. It seems to be quite numerous, but compared to the undead army in its heyday, it can only be regarded as a local patrol. You know, low-level undead like skeletons and zombies, even a necromancer apprentice who has only been a beginner for a year can awaken and manipulate more than ten of them - if they can't do it, they will have to be made into a corpse witch by their own mentor a long time ago.

If we look closely, we can see a few sneaky black-robed figures on the hillside behind the undead camp, which should be necromancers. In addition, on the mountain road behind the side of the hillside, three strange warriors in heavy armor, wearing exaggerated overlay helmets, carrying blood-red rune swords, and exuding an ominous aura all around them, were charging towards a phalanx of the Union Army. Despite being heavily armored and on a mountain trail, it doesn't seem to affect their agility at all.

This is clearly the Necromantic Knight. However, although these people are still pompous and well-equipped, their armor and battle robes are dirty and dusty, and the cloaks used to play handsome behind them are only strips of cloth. It's obviously a few powerful undead lords who can ride a thousand, and the bitter aura that makes people feel sad is really coming.

Maybe they slipped through the net in the Battle of Henas back then, right? At that time, he fled to the mountains and hid in it to gnaw the sand for several years, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why he was forced to become this virtue.

Of course, no matter how hard they work, the combat power of the three necromantic knights should not be underestimated. Although there are hundreds of elite soldiers on the federal side, as ordinary people, once they are entered by the transcendent, they may really be completely destroyed by others.

As a result, the charge of the Necro Knights was quickly stopped. There are five magicians coming out of the crowd, and looking at the way they are wearing chain mail inside their robes, they must also be the kind of martial arts faction.

Sure enough, three of them, with their steel skins and lion's hearts, greeted them. Looking at their stance and weapons, one should be good at using "magic boxing"; A person who sends a string of standing swords should be a master of sculpting magic, and should be good at swordsmanship; The last warrior of average size was a little burly, and he directly pulled out a blade formed by flame condensation on the staff of his hands, and rushed to the front with a roar.

The remaining two who didn't rush forward looked a little thinner, which was more in line with most people's perception of a spellcaster. They stood in place, but summoned a bird-like phantom beast and two ghost wolves, respectively, and outflanked them from the sky and the mountains on either side.

The five mages and the three necromantic knights suddenly became a mess, and they probably couldn't tell the winner for a short time. As a result, the phalanx infantry on the mountain road was temporarily liberated. Their commander also seemed to be quite decisive, and on the spot he ordered the whole army to turn, and rushed directly down the hillside towards the battlefield in front of them.

This is also a battlefield of considerable scale, with about 2,000 members of the Federation fighting against three times the number of undead on their own side and more than 500 Black Flag Wingers who are harassing the sky. It's hard to tell the winner for a while, but when the liberated soldiers add to the battle, maybe it will become the heaviest weight in the left and right battles, right?

But just look, some of these soldiers rushed down the enemy's flank, directly through the weak defense line of the skeletons, and rushed into the corpse witch group in the rear. These weak spell-casting undead were quickly chopped down to rotting pulp. Several of the necromancers who were mixed in were quickly killed, and their heads were raised high. It can be seen that these few are not lichs yet, otherwise why would the skeletons over there fall to death as soon as they were hacked to death?

The soldiers who did not rush down the mountain lined up on the mountain road and began to shoot at the wingmen in the sky.

The winged people are better than being able to fly with a certain amount of mobility, but unfortunately they are all so poor that they are called Hanako, the cork bow in their hands is short and brittle, most of the arrows are also steel arrows, and many arrow clusters are bald, and I feel that even rats can't shoot to death. The Federation archers, on the other hand, were all strong bows and crossbows, and with the cooperation of magic, the Black Flag Wingers were scattered like frightened sparrows.

The Wingmen weren't the only ones who came, but most of them were higher up, wrestling with seven large and small warships, the Wingmen guerrillas on the Federation side, and the Eagle Cavalry.

Look at the black flag winged people who look like sparrows in the grain field, there are seven or eight thousand of them. The remnants of the winged bandits in the 100,000 mountains of Namoa may have already come to take up arms.

However, bandits, to put it bluntly, the more people there are, the more they can't fight. Having lost the command of the Undead Lords and Orc Overseers, and the loss of many prestigious leaders in the Necromantic War, the organization and morale of the Black Flag Wingmen have long since disappeared, and their fighting spirit has fallen to the point where they can compete with the lower limit of the goblins. Not to mention seven or eight thousand whining winged people, even if it is ten times more, I am afraid it will be difficult to threaten the array of seven floating warships.

In fact, it was precisely because of this that the winged bandits flew around the battleship like flies, shooting from a distance with their cork bows. However, these wooden pole arrows, which were scattered with clusters of arrows, could hardly hit the target, and fell far away. They simply didn't dare to approach at will. If it weren't for the fact that the main target of the fleet was not them, this group of bandits would have fled like a flock of frightened birds.

Of course, given the organization and morale of the Black Flag Wingers, there should still be some pretty strong commanders and terrifying Warlords. Otherwise, it should run out before it was hit.

Winged people aside, it was not them who really sang the protagonist in the battle against the Federation's floating fleet, but five super-sized zombies.

Zombies, naturally, are the zombie empty whales that once appeared in the Battle of Farrahals. Back then, it was a mess of the entire Federation Mobile Fleet. However, now, the Federation has also asked the truth about these big guys from the mouths of the captured necromancers - first of all, this kind of big guy is quite difficult to refine, and the processing and maintenance of corpses and the level of the necromancer's magic power, magic micro-manipulation ability, and various modification surgeries are examined. And every big empty whale needs at least one necromancer above the average to operate nearby.

It is said that the undead lords have been developing the technology of transforming the empty whale zombie for more than 50 years, and they are holding back the riot to farm, hoping to save a super-large empty whale fleet to sweep the sky and the sea. However, after spending so many years, I have saved more than 100 heads, and almost all of them have been spent in the Necromantic Battle.

The big zombie with five empty whales, with a rock-like texture on the body skin facing the fleet on one side, this is the body protection stone skin technique - after all, it is too difficult for the other party's mage to add steel skin to such a big guy.

While the zombies were bombarded from a distance by seven warships, they opened their huge mouths and spat out one after another balls of liquid that emitted a foul smell like oversized green thick phlegm in the direction of the battleship. It can make ordinary people vomit on the spot just by its appearance and smell, but that's not all. The phlegm ball suddenly exploded in the air, and then a large string of highly poisonous flying insects popped out of it, hula-la-la, and pounced on the fleet.

These flying insects were the living weapons that the early necromancers liked to use, and the reason why they have been eliminated in recent years is because they are really not as powerful. Even if three or five heads hit a samurai in armor and exploded, they would not be able to kill the other party.

But this time, the group of necromancers who escaped from Henas may have brought out all the inventory. This dense poisonous insect is like a plague of locusts, and it makes people's scalps tingle.

For a time, the fleet turned out to be difficult to approach. You can only use a variety of broadside weapons and magic crystal cannons to clear the attacks of flying insects at a long distance, and by the way, use a guide cannon with a longer range to make up for two hits on the body of the big zombie. Unfortunately, this sophisticated weapon has not yet been popularized on a large scale in the Federation, and most of the guide guns purchased from Northern Industries are used in the red, blue, and black of the White Ship and the Noble Combined. And the Eastern Fleet only installed three doors on the Arras during this period. For a while, it was difficult to break through the defense line of this group of empty whale zombies.

In addition, on the hill directly below the air battle site, there were the remaining Federation infantry, about 1,500 people. Everyone is a well-trained soldier and a burly figure, and at first glance they are the most elite group. With the cooperation of ten battle mages and more than fifty war golems, they attacked a mountain from land.

The hill was located directly behind the Sky Whale Zombies, on a relatively flat mountain platform. There were one or two hundred people of all sizes on the platform, and a large flag was erected on it. And the layers of defense along the mountain downwind of the platform also look quite complicated, what gray dwarves, goblins, cavemen, kobolds, can be called the evil race of miscellaneous soldiers, together there are three or five thousand people.

This is, of course, a hopeless rabble, and on the frontal battlefield, there may be more elements that add to the chaos. Fortunately, it is now a defense, and its own side has a strength advantage or a terrain advantage, and for a time it really stabilized its position under the onslaught of the federal army. These demons and monsters, who have always been used as cannon fodder by their respective masters, shouted excitedly, feeling that they were about to be super-god.

And at this moment, standing under the banner, the commander of the "Hundred Tribes Volunteer Army" looked at this chaotic battlefield, and began to be complacent for a while.
