Chapter 553: The Decisive Battle of Broken Dragon Peak (5)
Grom and Pearl's forces are already fighting the undead. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With little to probe each other, the undead army launched an attack on Grom's set up defense.
With more than 10,000 demons, it is difficult for them all to be thrown into battle at once on this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain road. This is the advantage of terrain selection, as the side that can choose the battlefield, of course, Grom can't find a flat place that is conducive to the enemy's numerical advantage to fight the enemy, it is purely looking for death.
But despite this, Grom's life has not been much better.
Originally, he discussed and estimated the result with Pearl that he should be able to defend against the undead's attack here for two to three days.
However, he apparently underestimated the strength of the undead troops.
The most powerful weapons of the undead are, of course, their sheer numbers; But that doesn't mean that the undead army can't organize an elite force with a strong average strength.
For example, this team that is currently attacking Grom's defense.
That's a team of Death Knights with more than two hundred in number!
At the front of the battle line, Grom released the Kukaron Warriors, who had an average combat power that was the strongest in his hands right now. However, this legion, which is a formidable legion in the face of most enemies, is almost as good as paper under the onslaught of the Death Knight.
The obstacles that Kukaron's forces were able to do to the onslaught of the Death Knights were minimal. Especially, when the other party's Death Knights attacked, the one who took the lead was still Seffield himself.
Rushing to the front, Seffield, under the swing of the Scarlet Devil's sword, no one is his unanimous enemy. No matter how brave the orc warriors were, they roared and tried to attack the mighty death knight, but the end result was to no avail. Almost in the blink of an eye, the magic sword slashed and stabbed, and all four or five orcs who approached were killed.
His nightmare beast stepped over the defense line, and suddenly there were hellish flames boiling all over his body, and the expanded flame ring directly burned more than a dozen orc warriors to charcoal, and the charred corpses were all pushed away by the power of resisting the fire ring.
The Death Knights, who followed behind Seffield in a wedge-shaped formation, maintained a tight formation, followed behind the leader, and continued to slash and slash the orcs next to them.
A brave warrior like Kukaron, under the hands of these death knights, he can't even support a round. Unless six or seven Kukaron warriors come up at the same time and cut off the nightmare beast's legs, or the orc warriors throw the Death Knight off their mounts at the cost of their lives, they will have a chance to kill a Death Knight.
And even so, the Death Knight who had lost his mount stood on the ground, even if he was surrounded by a dozen or so people, he could hold on for a while with a giant sword, and kill four or five people before he was hacked to death.
To be able to eliminate a Death Knight at such a great price is a very cruel thing for Kukaron's troops.
Later, the Centaur Raiders and Elven Ranger were not watching the show, their arrows were shooting frantically at the knights.
However, the results are so low. Beside the Death Knights, along with their mounts, it was as if they were protected by a layer of dark power, which was difficult for arrows to penetrate. Even if they were hit continuously, the power of the dark protection on the Death Knights' bodies was weakened, and some arrows could break through, but under the protection of the black armor that covered the Death Knights' bodies, it would be difficult to have any effect.
In the time between the Death Knights charging into range and their rush into the formation of the Kukaron Warriors, the Ranger and Centaurs, the two famous marksman troops, had already thrown three rounds of fire in a row. These two long-range troops combined are almost 2,000 people, however, with so many arrows fired, there are only two or three death knights who are really killed by them.
As far as the current situation is concerned, there are only six or seven hundred warriors under Grom, and the continuous battles have always been the vanguard of this army, and it is not easy to maintain such a large number of people until now. However, even these elite warriors who have experienced a hundred battles, under the impact of the death knights, not only can they not stop the other party, but even the battle loss ratio is very exaggerated - if the Kukaron warriors want to destroy a death knight, they will have to pay at least twenty people themselves.
This means that even if all the Kukaron warriors are exhausted, they will only be able to destroy about thirty death knights. However, there are now more than two hundred Death Knights charging with Seffield!
These death knights, breaking through the interception of the Kukaron warriors, only paid the price of five or six knights. And Kucaron's casualties are in the hundreds.
Not even Kukaron could stop the Death Knights' charge, let alone the orc infantry and sword dancers who followed Kukaron's forces.
The number of casualties is widening.
Seeing that these death knights led by Seffield were rushing towards the long-range troops in the rear, Grom immediately made a decision and prepared to take action himself.
He was accompanied by more than fifty mammoth-man warriors. These mammoth warriors may still be a cut behind the Death Knights in a heads-up - especially the charging Death Knights, but when they are accompanied by a large number of Nightblade Leopard Cavalry, they should still be able to help somewhat.
As for the invincible Seffield himself, Grom decided to deal with it himself.
The two teams quickly collided, and the mammoth warriors suffered heavy casualties that this force had never encountered since its inception the moment they came into contact with the Death Knights.
In the past years, the main opponents of the Warsong Clan were basically other orc tribes in the Eastern Wasteland. In the face of the group charge of the mammoth warriors, the army of those ordinary orc tribes basically had no way to resist.
However, this no longer applies at the moment. More than fifty mammoth warriors died at the hands of the Death Knights as soon as they first came into contact with the enemy. At the same time, the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry, who rushed forward with the mammoth warriors, rushed into the melee range after handing out the Whirling Moon Blade in their hands, and killed hundreds of people in an instant.
Such a result can be called tragic, when did Sindelaire suffer such a loss in the war?
However, such sacrifices are also worthwhile. In any case, the Death Knights were under attack from the Mammoths and Nightblade Panther Cavalry, and they had to stop their tracks, unable to continue their charge. Moreover, they also suffered the largest casualty figures since the beginning of the war. Under the onslaught of orcs and elves, regardless of casualties, more than two dozen death knights were pulled down from their nightmare beasts.
But that's it.
On the line of defense that was overwhelmed by the death knights, a large number of undead had already poured in. A considerable number of flesh and blood golems and black knights poured through the gap in the line of defense cut by the death knights, fighting with the Kukaron warriors and the orc infantry who had not yet recovered their senses. The gap in the defensive line was widened, and the orc warriors and elven sword dancers were caught in a bitter battle that could hardly be reversed, even with the long-range support of the rear's constant rain of arrows.
The entire defense line was already crumbling, but the most terrifying thing was the Death Knights who were wreaking havoc behind the line.
Of course, the combination of mammoths and the Nightblade Panther Cavalry stopped the death knights, but this is not the end. Of course, those death knights could not maintain a charging formation, but the knights who had stagnated still had very strong combat effectiveness, one by one the huge mammoths were killed, and one by one the heroic elven cavalry spilled blood on the battlefield. These death knights are just around the corner when they kill all the orcs and elves.
However, the undead are not satisfied. While the Nightblade Leopard Cavalry and Mammoth Warriors were already struggling to hold on, another group of enemies also crossed the battlefield in front of them and broke through directly here.
It's a vampire with bat-like teleportation, and a ghost army that can avail and float in mid-air!
As a result, the orc and elven troops, which were already on the verge of collapse, seemed to have no ability to turn the tables around. All the power they can use is already on the field. However, the superiority of the enemy is as devastating as if it were withering and decaying.
Pearl and the Elven Ranger she directly led, as well as the Centaur Raiders who had been temporarily deployed under her command, were on the verge of grinding their fingers from the bowstring, but while the Elves and Centaurs were still able to maintain their accuracy and increase the speed and frequency of their shots, they were still unable to prevent the collapse of their troops.
Originally, it was estimated that he would be able to hold on for three days, but now, before the thirty minutes had passed, under the onslaught of Seffield's army, there was an irreparable defeat.
Now, the most sensible thing to do is to retreat.
When failure becomes an irreparable end, then it should be wiser to flee as many people as you can and retain your strength as much as possible.
However, the orcs themselves are not a sane race.
Just as Pearl was about to give the order to retreat, the centaur raiders couldn't help it. The high-ranking ranger watched with his own eyes, the centaur commander, threw down the magic bow in his hand, drew a scimitar from his waist, and howled towards the battlefield where defeat was assured!
Then, all the other centaur raiders, following their commander's lead, raised their scimitars, lowered their bows and arrows, and rushed down the battlefield!
"A bunch of maniacs!" Pearl cursed, she didn't even know what to do now.
Obviously, there is no way for the centaur troops who have already rushed out to call back. These guys, if they really want to rush, can run faster than most of the light cavalry in the world.
As soon as Pearl gritted his silver teeth, he also let it go.
She shouted, "All rangers! Shoot with all your might! Cover our comrades! Fight to the death! ”
Anyway, she still had some sense, and knew that the Ranger unit was the greatest help to the battlefield by shooting from a distance, and that it would not be like the centaur troops, wielding a scimitar to go up and cut people, which was for people to chop.
However, despite the Ranger's efforts, and despite the fact that the centaurs had already rushed into the battlefield with their sabers, it was still of little use to the current situation of the war, and at most it was only a matter of delaying the complete collapse of Sindlaire's army.
Even the strongest point on Hindlaire's side, the orc chief Grom, is completely at a disadvantage.
He took the mammoth and the nightblade leopard with him to kill the group of death knights. While his troops were engaged in a fierce battle with the Death Knights, he confronted Seffield after cutting down a Death Knight in three moves.
The duel between the two legends has produced huge power fluctuations, and even the powerful death knight does not dare to approach the place where the two legendary powerhouses are fighting.
However, what seemed to be a very fierce battle turned out to be a complete disadvantage for Grom.
The power of purple evil, the power of green plague, and the power of blue frost all continued to gush with the dance of the scarlet magic sword in Seffield's hand. In the duel with the Death Knights, the storm of blades whirled by the Grom Tomahawk is powerful, but in fact it is the side that is constantly being corrupted.
The orc chieftain, who was already wounded, was actually struggling to hold on under Seerfield's magic sword. Not to mention, the nightmare beast named Ravel is also a very difficult thing to deal with.
Ravel, with his explosive personality, kept trying to bite Grom with his big mouth full of flames. At the beginning of the battle, Grom didn't pay much attention to this guy, but after being bitten and the very difficult black flame on the wound continued to erode into his body, Grom knew how difficult this guy was. He didn't dare to let Ravel take a bite anymore - it would be fatal!
Originally, in the confrontation with the death knight Serfield, Grom was at a disadvantage, not to mention that the mounts of other people were all of the legendary level, plus Grom himself was injured. With all these factors, he is certainly no match for the Death Knight.
In Seffield's hands, the Warsong Chieftain had only lasted a short time, and its body was already covered with wounds.
Even if he turned on the ability of legendary rage, it was only able to temporarily pull back these disadvantages, and it was not enough to turn the tables at all.
What's more, he has hole cards, how could Serfield, who is also of the legendary rank, not have it?
Grom had a vague realization that this would be his last battle.
