Chapter 740: Underestimating the Enemy
Chapter 740: Underestimating the Enemy
Looking up at the various magical lights that flickered in the sky from time to time, listening to the roar of magic from time to time in the distance, Yufritin, who was sitting on the ground and gently wiping his battle axe with a cloth, had a worried face on his face.
He was worried about Meng Gila.
The Entagri Empire does not prohibit interracial marriages, so when it was decided that he wanted to join the Entagri Empire, the dwarven knights plucked up the courage and decided to boldly confess to Meng Ryla.
He remembered the moment he had been born in his tent the other day.
"Well, Meng Gila, although I am a stupid and sluggish dwarf, I often do stupid things, and I snore very loudly when I sleep, which is a bit annoying, but I am very good at making tea, and my carving skills are also very good, so ...... So...... So I thought, maybe...... Possible...... Probably you'd like to...... Willing to ......"
Although he was fully prepared, but when it came to the end, the dwarf was still nervous and a little panicked, and the words he had originally thought of were all forgotten the moment he saw Meng Tingla's clear eyes, and as a result, even he himself felt like he wanted to slap himself twice.
What am I talking about?
The dwarven knight groaned in his heart, and now that he had really failed to get home, he felt that he was really a fool at this moment.
However, it was obvious that the human woman, who was sitting in the dwarf's tent and leisurely drinking the hot tea made by the dwarf himself, and from time to time stuffing handfuls of dried fruit into her mouth, understood what the dwarf was trying to say.
She stopped her movements and looked at the dwarf expectantly, hoping that the dwarf would finish the rest of the words, but her expression made the dwarf stutter completely, and as a result, he sat there and was willing for a long time, but he couldn't finish the sentence, and his face was even more red, although it was the depths of winter, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Stupid dwarf" muttered in private, knowing that she couldn't count on the other party, Meng Gila smiled helplessly.
"Hey, Everrytin, if you are willing not to continue to live in that damp and gloomy underground in the future, but to use your craftsmanship to build me a beautiful big house on the ground, I can't consider your request, you understand?"
The dwarf, who didn't know what to do, didn't react to what the other party was talking about for a while, and he subconsciously responded: "The underground is not all damp and gloomy ......."
Then he suddenly understood: "Really? Meng Tingla, is what you said true? ”
The dwarf jumped up and grabbed Meng Gila's hands across the table, his eyes were full of ecstasy, but because he was too excited, the strength in his hands was obviously too great, and the result was a lot of complaints and angry eyes from the other party, so the dwarf was frightened and hurriedly let go of his hand.
"Clumsy guy, if you're always like this, I think I'll have to reconsider what I just decided, what if you do the same to your children in the future?"
Rubbing her sore hands, Meng Gila said annoyedly.
This sentence made the dwarf lose his mind again: "Later? Child? ”
Seeing the dwarf first stammering and then starting to giggle happily, realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have said, Meng Tingla's face couldn't help but turn red.
"It seems that stupid people are contagious"
Muttering a word, Meng Gila was angry and ashamed, eager to press the stupid dwarf in front of her who always worried her to the ground and beat her severely.
So the relationship between the two was so determined, but the two didn't have time to experience some more of the happy feeling of finally getting their wishes, but the fierce battle made it rare for the two to even meet each other last time.
Because Chen Jian pulled out all the silver Pegasus knights and jungle guardians in this Jungdagre army, and formed an air formation, led by Meng Gila, to join the non-stop air raid on the Erathia army, while Eufritin's was to take the forest dwarves to help build the defense line around the camp.
By this evening, Everyfretin hadn't been able to talk to Meng Gila for four or five days, and the non-stop air raids made Meng Gila always come and go in a hurry, and when she stayed in the barracks, she also seized the time to rest, and the dwarven knights themselves spent most of their time on the construction site, and sometimes they didn't see each other for a whole day.
Tonight's loud noise made Everettin understand that the crucial decisive moment in the war in the Hammondale area had finally arrived, he and Meng Gila had predicted such a battle before, watching their own flying forces unprecedentedly large-scale sorties, although they knew that they had the advantage in the air, but Everettin's heart was still unstoppable.
At this time, the sky in the east had begun to white, and before I knew it, it was dawn, and Eufritin, who felt something, put away the shiny battle axe that had already been wiped, and pressed his right palm on the ground with a solemn expression.
Dwarves like to live underground, which gives them a unique sensitivity to the earth, and many experienced dwarven warriors can detect the movement of their enemies through subtle changes on the ground.
From his right palm, which was clinging to the ground, Euffreytin felt an almost imperceptible jolt, confirmed his guess, and stood up.
"The enemy came over one last time to check the equipment and prepare for battle"
With his roar, a large number of heavily armed dwarven warriors stood up and began to enter the predetermined line of defense in high spirits.
"It's coming"
In another part of the defensive line, Amy, the lizardman who was lying on the ground and listened with her ears to the ground for a long time, was also in good spirits.
"Give me the energy to take revenge on those bastards of the Erathia Empire, this is a great opportunity that you can't catch in Titalia, if anyone dares to give me no anger, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people"
At this time, Amy, who was already a mid-level officer, shouted loudly, and around him, there were thousands of lizardmen longbowmen wearing the chain mail of the Ntagrean Army, who had only been transferred from the Titaria swamp by Chen Jian a few days ago - now, the so-called Titalia Liberation Army, in fact, like the mercenary army led by Meng Gilla, had become the Jungtari Army, and it was only a matter of time before it was officially reorganized.
Being able to participate in such a big battle made Amy inexplicably excited, you know, in the Tytaria Swamp, he was already going crazy.
Under the siege of two powerful enemies, the necromancers did not want to start a full-scale war with the now stronger and stronger Entagri Empire at this time, so naturally they would not provoke the Tetaria Liberation Army supported by the Entagri Empire, and the Entagri Empire was also happy to maintain this situation in order to further absorb more swamp dwellers to take refuge; The Erathian Empire did not have so many scruples, but due to the position of the Taylasian Liberation Army, the two sides could not meet, and they could not fight if they wanted to.
So during this period of time, although the warring parties in the Titaria swamp are in full swing, there is nothing to do with the growing Taylaria Liberation Army, Amy takes people all day long, that is, drills and drills, and is so energetic that there is no place to vent.
So now that she has the opportunity to participate in the battle of Hammondale, Amy almost laughed at her big mouth in a bad mood.
In response to Amy's mobilization, the lizardmen were very excited, and it was most appropriate to describe the lizardman longbowmen led by Amy at this time with morale like a rainbow.
On the other side, the barbarian Worzak and his group of Imperial warriors are also full of fighting spirit.
"Head, follow you, the big scene continues," the minotaur Dur howled in excitement.
Originally, after the end of the battle of the city of waterfalls, the Entagre army was invincible in the forests of Turalea, and the elves fled into Eli when they saw that the situation was not good, and this group of militants all thought that in the next period of time, they had nothing to do, and they could only sit in the forest and listen to the battle situation of Hammondale from time to time and drool, but they didn't expect Wozzak's luck to be surprisingly good, Catarina, the princess of the Ragner pirates, was appointed by Christine to meet with His Majesty the Emperor in Hammondal, but a group of people actually caught up at the most critical moment and came to the battlefield of Hamondale.
"Luck is coming, you can't stop it," Wozzak was also happy to close his mouth, "But say it in advance, I'll give me a little more leisurely when the fight starts, don't care about hitting and rushing, I will lose my life casually, I want to save money for alcohol, and I can't use this way Old Kobe's tavern is enough to accommodate us people"
The barbarian's words drew a cheer from the crowd, for they knew that the barbarian would have a solid drink after the war at the now famous old Kobe Bryant.
Similar scenes were playing out all over the Ntagrean Army, and they had been waiting for this battle for too long.
It's just that no one realizes that the battle they are about to face will be far more difficult than they imagined.
The Erathian Army is, after all, the Erathian Army.
This army can be called the strongest army of the Big 6, and it has been famous for so many years, of course, it has its advantages.
They have the courage of the Ntagrei army, and they will not be defeated because of a temporary predicament, on the contrary, the more difficult the moment, the more powerful their combat power will often burst.
It's not so easy for anyone to defeat them.
When the sky finally dawned, after a rapid march in the middle of the night, the Elasia army finally reached the camp of the Entagri army.
At this time, the strength of the ground forces of the Erathian Army was still quite well preserved, but the price they paid for it was also extremely heavy, in order to cover the ground forces from the enemy's attack, Inheim almost finished all the griffins in his hands.
It was a brutal air battle that even the battle-hardened Inheim had never seen before, and the enemy had the upper hand, both in quantity and quality.
Dragons, angels, and demons of the Entagri Army wreak havoc in the air, and the magicians of the Entagri Army armed with magic wands set off waves of magic frenzy in the sky from time to time, countless poisonous scorpion lions and harpies, as well as the gargoyle troops that the Entagri Army had not used before, and the silver Pegasus formation that split from the Farouk Army, all of them became the spokesmen of the Grim Reaper on this night.
This was an air battle without any suspense, and the defeat of the Erathian army was already doomed at the beginning of the war.
But the Erathian army did not back down from this.
The griffons, under the command of the griffin knights, went forward to follow up the fearless and far more powerful enemies in the sky in a hopeless battle, and then fell like a meteor shower on the land of Hammondal, the first dense flock of griffins, as the Elasia army advanced, the number kept decreasing, and now, there is not much left.
But on the contrary, they also inflicted considerable losses on the enemy, and exchanged their own sacrifices for the safety of friendly troops.
But is it really worth it?
Inheim asked himself this question all the way, and he didn't think it was a battle that had to be fought.
But now, he has no other choice, an order is an order, and he is a soldier.
The flight force is over, Inheim knows that he has completely lost air supremacy, if this battle cannot be won, then only the Erathia Army of ground troops remains, in the face of the enemy's strong air superiority in the future, only a complete defeat, unless there are reinforcements, otherwise Hammondale, he will definitely not be able to hold.
But Inheim also understands that he is not without opportunities.
At the heavy price of almost total annihilation of the flying troops, he pulled his ground troops quite completely in front of the enemy's camp, and the enemy's flying troops also suffered a lot of losses after fierce fighting in the middle of the night, and they were already tired at this time, and the magic of the enemy magicians was also very little, and the enemy's once powerful air superiority ceased to exist for the time being, and in terms of ground forces alone, the Erathia army still had an absolute advantage in strength at this time, not to mention, He also put most of his forces in the direction of this main attack.
Of course, on the other hand, his soldiers were no longer as physically strong as the enemy who was waiting for work after most of the night, and the enemy still had defensive and terrain advantages, but he could only choose to trust his soldiers, and he also had another advantage, that is, the priest troops of the Erathian army were still full of magic at this time.
Inheim didn't believe that the enemy was capable of turning the entire battlefield into a magical immunity space, the battlefield was so large, and he planned to attack the enemy's camp in several ways, he didn't believe that the enemy could cover everything.
And for the enemy's various means of defense, he also made corresponding arrangements, what he needs to do now is a race against time, as long as he can break through the enemy's large camp before the enemy's flying troops can breathe, then the victory belongs to the Erathian Empire.
Or it can be done in another way.
As long as an elite army can break through to the enemy's camp and capture or kill the Chen Jian as the Emperor of the Ntagri Empire, it can also bring victory to the Erathian army.
For this reason, he didn't even let the small number of Angel Clan troops in his hand join the tragic air battle last night, and these strong warriors were the trump cards he used to implement the slashing tactics.
Success or failure, in one fell swoop.
Amid the sound of the loud horn, the ground troops of the Erathia Army, who had just arrived at their destination, did not even take a breath, and shouted and attacked the camp of the Entagre Army from several directions.
The morale of the Erathia army at this time is not lower than that of the Entagri army, which has been pressed and beaten by the enemy before, so that the soldiers are holding back a fire in their hearts, and now they can finally fight the enemy head-on, they are all fighting bravely, and the fighting and sacrifice of the griffins last night also greatly stimulated the soldiers, they want to avenge these brave allies.
The sound of killing shook the sky.
The crusader warriors raised their shields, and together with the cavalry who had abandoned their horses, with their heavy armor, rushed to the front line, and behind them were densely packed with crossbowmen armed with heavy crossbows, and priest troops who had already prepared magic, spearmen guarded the sides, and their firm steps made the ground tremble.
"It looks like a bad fight."
Looking at the battlefield images displayed on several magic screens in the tent, Katarina was secretly surprised by the strength and momentum displayed by the Erathian army.
She peeked at Jian Chen, and now Jian Chen finally put on a solemn look at this time.
"It seems that the situation is also a bit unexpected by this man."
Judging from the other party's demeanor at this time, the pirate princess made such a judgment.
Chen Jian was indeed a little surprised at this moment.
He originally thought that his own flying troops would definitely be able to deal a fatal blow to the enemy in the course of the enemy's march.
But this is not the case.
The tenacity of the Elasia griffons was far beyond his imagination, and due to the desperate efforts of these griffins, the Entagre Flying Force was unable to accomplish his intended strategic objectives, severely damaging the enemy's ground forces, and even failing to achieve their goal of weakening the enemy's magical power and crippling the enemy's priest forces.
Chen Jianxian himself made two mistakes, one was that he was too confident in the combat effectiveness of his own flying troops, he relied too much on this immature tactic, and the other was that he miscalculated the combat effectiveness of the enemy's flying troops, these two mistakes made him invest most of his magic power in last night's air battle, and now, the enemy has the upper hand in magic power because the magicians of the Entagri Army have exhausted their magic power.
This is a very bad situation, although the dragon king's divine power is powerful, it is impossible to make all the battlefields of Nuoda into magic immunity space, and the enemy is divided into several directions to attack, so that in those places where the dragon king's divine power cannot be taken into account, the enemy's magic advantage will be quite obvious, and the strength of the enemy's ground forces is intact, which also gives the Entagri army the upper hand in terms of strength.
"A little too underestimated"
Seeing the Erathia Army surging towards the defense line of the Entagre Army like a wave on the magic screen, Jian Chen's brows furrowed.
