On December 23rd, the battle situation on the outskirts of Ice Cave City did not start at the first time. www.biquge.info In the war, Ou Ze and Dane, who have always been relatively active, did not do anything on this morning.

But that doesn't mean they don't move. On the contrary, in the camps on both sides of them, the movement of troops was extremely frequent, the armies were given orders, all kinds of war equipment were pulled up, and the soldiers who had something to do went to do things, and the soldiers who had nothing to do began to wipe their weapons.

After eating in the morning, the soldiers were told that they were going to fight a decisive battle with each other today.

The atmosphere was solemn, but Dain's troops were all elite troops. And the main army led by Ou Ze has also gone through the baptism of countless wars. The solemnity before the big war makes people panic, but it is not so much that the soldiers are psychologically unbearable.

And as long as the war starts, the blood is surging, and the opponent on the other side wants you to live and die, no one has any mind to think about anything else.

Just after noon, Dane and Ozer's army drove out of their respective camps. And the fighters of Army Group North between them were also in full swing.

Both sides are old opponents who have fought on the battlefield, and the scouts are not dry, not to mention the air cavalry team that each has in the sky, which can also be a pair of eyes staring at the opponent in the sky. No matter what kind of move there is, no one can hide the situation under their noses.

Dane is not surprised by this, this decisive battle will be dignified, that is, it is just a competition to see who can fight better and who can survive longer on the cruel battlefield.

The familiar sound of the horn sounded, and it was Ozer's army preparing to attack.

A moment later, one of the griffons flying in the sky reported that the army of 27,000 men of the governor of Oze had begun to press on the army group north.

Dane was happy with that.

Ozer didn't dare to fool Dane in this regard, especially after the two of them had a direct exchange the night before. Under Dane's tough attitude, if Ou Ze really played a trick at the moment of the decisive battle today, Dane would really turn around and leave with his troops as he said.

Now that Ozer has done it, Dane won't continue to stop where he is.

He personally stepped on the back of the wolf warrior and led his soldiers who were already ready for battle, out of the camp, and headed towards the enemy in the same way.

On the outskirts of Ice Cave City, a huge battle slowly kicked off the climax. This war, even in the history of Schindlaire's 100-year war, may be the largest.

Kangli's Northern Army, after fighting for so long, still had 38,000 soldiers left; Ozer had twenty-seven thousand in his hand, and Dane had five thousand in his hand. The total number of troops of the three parties has exceeded 70,000!

Perhaps, Schindlaire has fought wars with more participants, but none of them are as big as the current one. The number of people participating in the battle is one thing, and the most important thing is that the 70,000 horses and horses of the three parties combined are all elite warriors.

The arrows rained down like locusts, and under the archers of both sides, Ou Ze's main force had already exchanged hands with the Northern Army.

The fierce battle has begun!

And Dane, at this moment, also ran into his opponent.

Standing in the way of his troops was a large line of legions. More than 10,000 soldiers, standing in front of Dane.

"Crossbowman loaded!"

"The artillery front fires!"

"Ranger troop shooting!"

Three orders were given in a row, and the respective ranged units began to attack.

At the forefront of Dane's legion were nine guns lined up. After firing a volley, nine openings were torn out in the enemy's phalanx.

The lethality of alchemy cannonballs to the human body is simply too terrifying. The impact of the shell explosion was enough to blow the soldiers at the center of the explosion to the bones. The shock wave that spreads out to the surrounding area, and the shrapnel that collapses with the explosion, can cause considerable lethality.

But the enemy is not without the means to respond.

Before the second round of shelling from Dane's artillery front, the same enemy bombardment came.

That's a dozen big fireballs!

In the midst of the enemy's formation, on the three wooden platforms that stood high, each stood a few black-robed warlocks. These warlocks come from the famous Shadow Warlock Regiment, and they were bred for the sole purpose of being mobile turrets in war!

Obviously, as warlocks who can initiate large fireballs, they can play a more powerful role in war than just artillery.

Perhaps, the power of the Great Fireball is not much stronger than the Alchemy Cannonball explosion, and it may even be slightly weaker. However, the attack spells unleashed by the warlocks were much more accurate than the gunners' attempts to aim and calculate the projectiles fired by the naked eye.

Under the arrival of more than a dozen large fireballs, nine artillery pieces were baptized, two of which were directly damaged, and although the other seven guns were not destroyed, the artillery crew could not survive the power of the flames, and suffered heavy casualties.

Dane's face was gloomy.

In the previous two days of fighting, he had not seen the enemy's Shadow Warlock attack him. But I didn't expect that today, at the beginning of the battle, it was not in the heat at all, and the people took out the trump card in their hands.

This caught him by surprise.

The Warlock's spell bombardment, the casting distance is relatively long, almost the same as the artillery, after the artillery crew has been washed, Dane must come up with some means to counter the opponent.

Those warlocks also did not want to stand on the high platform and fire their cannons all the time. Otherwise, let them feel at ease one by one The big fireballs will be smashed down, and this battle will not have to be fought.

Dane couldn't just stand and be beaten, letting other people's fireballs smash it. You know, he also has a team of mages in his team.

Dain's mage group, even if there are two mage towers behind as support, but a lot of resources are invested in the magic workshops of Komira and White Wolf Castle, and the number of mages in Dane's army is actually not very large.

What's more, most of the mages cultivated in the mage tower are also some research-oriented and scholar-type mages. In terms of spell casting level and spell casting skills, they are certainly not bad compared to those shadow warlocks on the other side, but the types of spells they master, as well as the way they cast spells, are not so suitable for the situation of war.

However, it is not impossible to use it against those warlocks.

What's more, Dane is not without other ways.

In the middle of Dane's military formation, three squads of eighteen griffons flew into the sky!

Among the enemy troops who saw the griffons, there were also batriders who rose up to deal with it. However, the Northern Army once again made a mistake in judgment.

Previously, the largest number of griffin cavalry in Dane's army was in the Battle of Mihe City. At that time, there were nine griffons in Dane's army.

The three principals of Army Group North, Galvin, Anders, and Hackett, received the news from that time. They had sixty batriders to the west, ready to fight Dain's griffons.

They didn't expect much of the battroons to take out Dane's griffons, either. They just wanted to be able to intercept it a little bit, so that the griffons didn't pose too much of a threat to the warlocks on the high platform.

However, to the surprise of the generals of Army Group North, on this day, the number of griffons that Dane lifted into the sky doubled!

Sitting on the west side of the army and leading 10,000 troops against Dane was Hackett, one of the three giants of Army Group North. His face turned green when he saw that there were twice as many griffons as he had expected.

Sixty batats, that's for the nine-headed griffons. But if it's eighteen griffins, it's not sixty bats that can stop it!

Eighteen griffins, in a fairly neat formation in the sky, charged at one of the towers that carried the Shadow Warlock not far away!

The griffons twisted into a rope were quite tightly formed, and they did not give the enemy any chance to take advantage of them, and those batriders had no choice, even if they knew that they could not stop these griffons, but they were forced to face the difficulties due to orders from behind.

The results of going forward are terrible.

In a face-to-face effort, the griffin cavalry didn't even use a big killing weapon like the Storm Hammer, just urging the griffons to pounce and bite, and more than ten large bats were either bitten off their heads by the griffins, or their wings were torn off, or some part of their bodies were scratched, all in all, all of them ended badly.

The Batriders, who lost one-sixth of their numbers in an instant, had little effect on the griffons. When they were numerically superior and intended to besiege, two or three batriders went up at the same time, which could only be said to be temporarily entanglement of one griffon cavalry. But when the griffon cavalry is determined to break through, these big bats have no good way to deal with it - in the air, the strong and powerful griffons are not known to be many times stronger than the speed of the explosion of short flights.

When the griffons turned their heads, accelerated sharply, and charged towards the tall wooden towers, the batriders could only chase after them in vain, and they couldn't catch up at all.

The griffin cavalry's goal was quite uniform, and it was Dain's order. He wouldn't be greedy enough to let the eighteen griffons attack the three Warlock Towers separately. Although the enemy's air power is relatively weak, the warlocks on those towers are not some little lambs who have no ability to resist. Gathering all the griffons together in one point and attacking the same tower in one place is the best way to deal a powerful blow to the enemy.

When the griffons broke through the Batriders' defenses and swooped down on the tower, the warlocks on the tower reacted in time.

On top of this tower, which was targeted by the griffins, stood six warlocks. They cast spells separately, and three of them blasted out three fireballs, aiming at the gathered griffon cavalry; The other three teamed up to summon a dark purple shadow shield, not large, but just enough to cover the tower.

Hackett, who was watching the battle from behind, smiled, knowing that Dane's griffin cavalry was in trouble. At the same time, he also sighed that the Shadow Warlocks he brought with him were worthy of being a team of elite spellcasters specially trained for war, and they reacted quickly and made quite reliable choices.

Three fireballs were enough to blow up the momentum of the griffons' collective charge; The shadow shield released by the trio was enough to temporarily keep the griffons at bay. Next, the warlocks on the other two towers will also use the power of spells to strike at these big guys who pounce from the air, and the batriders who will catch up will also play a role. Archers on the ground can also be selected to shoot at the griffons as they swoop.

As long as these griffons are temporarily entangled around the Warlock's Tower for a while, then they are likely to suffer heavy damage from the blows that come one after another!

If we can clean up these griffins, then Hackett will be so happy! Looking at the appearance of the batriders who easily crushed their own side just now, you can know how much trouble these powerful air cavalry are.

It's a pity that soon, Hackett couldn't laugh anymore.

In front of the griffins, a large amount of azure arcane energy was fanning. When the three fireballs blasted up, they were quickly annihilated when they touched these blue arcane energies. A fireball the size of a basin was torn apart, as if it had fallen into ice water, and it was quickly dissolved without a trace.

"Flame Protection Enchantment! Damn it! Hackett yelled. With a grim face, he watched as the griffons were not affected by the fireball in the slightest, and rushed directly above the shadow shield.

Then, they slammed headlong into the shadow shroud!

One griffin was knocked to pieces, two griffons were hit hard, three, four...... When the fifth griffin slammed down with all its strength and slapped the shadow shield with its claws, this layer of purple-black energy protection was directly split apart!

At this moment, the six warlocks standing on the tower all had snow-white faces, and their hands and feet were at a loss! They were now completely exposed to the sharp talons and beaks of the griffons, and the lances of the cavalry. And the griffons that would swoop down on their faces when they were faced with the next breath were so fragile that they couldn't even do a single spell, not a single movement.

Killing six casters with no casting chance is not much harder for a griffin than it is to kill six sheep. In just an instant, the six war warlocks who were extremely difficult to cultivate were all killed!
