Chapter 270. Recruit the Cold Creek Guards!!
"What is this?"
Chopin's attention at this time was not focused on the battlefield in front of him, but locked in mid-air hundreds of meters away.
Where, a basketball-sized black energy body was quietly levitating, and under the illumination of this black energy body, the combat power of the undead skeletons in front of them who were fighting with the line infantry had obviously been greatly improved.
Whether it is strength, speed, or reaction time, what these undead skeletons show at this time is much stronger than before, and what is even more amazing is the super recovery speed of these undead skeletons.
The spears and scimitars that spearmen and Barlake infantry slashed out with all their might fell on those undead skeletons, and no matter how shallow or deep the pit was brought out, it would not take a few breaths to quickly reunite under the light of the black energy body.
Even if it is a shot of the line infantry, as long as it does not hit the vital point such as the head and kills with one blow, even if the bones are shattered, it will take more than a dozen breaths at most, and it will be intact again.
In such a situation, the pressure on the spearmen and Barek infantry at the front can be imagined, not only in the courage to face the massive enemy, but also in the frustration of accepting that their desperate attacks would not have the slightest effect.
In this case, they must also withstand the double pressure of physical and mental pressure, and strive to resist the attack of the skeletal soldiers in front of them, and they must not slack off for a moment.
In such a fierce collision, I am afraid that if I am not careful, it will be a catastrophe.
"Have the gunners and line infantry aim at the black energy body in front of you and destroy him."
After sensing that something was wrong with the situation, Chopin also found out the reason for it as soon as possible, and then directly issued an order to destroy the black energy body, although it was not clear how the strange thing in front of him was formed and what role it had, but in any case, that thing was definitely harmful to those imperial soldiers under Chopin.
It's just that when the lead bullets that were enough to penetrate the steel plate landed on the black energy body that looked weird and mysterious, there was not even the slightest ripple on the black energy body, and then the lead bullets dancing wildly ...... Straight through the past, as for the black energy body, it was still hanging high in the air, as if it had not been affected in the slightest.
As soon as the lead bullet shuttled through, several solid iron balls with black pressure smashed on the black energy body with great precision, but the cannonballs, which had always been invincible, were directly through the black energy body like the lead bullets that passed straight through the previous ones.
Seeing this scene, Chopin was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, although it was not clear how this black energy body dodged the attack of the wildly dancing lead bullets and cannonballs, but it was generally similar to the effect of similar "physical immunity" seen in his previous life.
Chopin never thought that this group of undead skeletons would still have this hand, under the light of that black energy body, those imperial soldiers under his command were undoubtedly on the side of absolute disadvantage, and their side did not have any advantage in terms of numbers, so the balance of victory was completely tilted towards the side of the undead skeletons.
It's just that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and just when Chopin's attention was all focused on the black energy body, the artillery camp in the rear suddenly changed.
"Boom Boom T
The crazy roar like thunder, without the slightest warning, exploded in the position of the artillery camp.
All of a sudden, blood gushed wildly, minced flesh splattered, and the hellish scene unfolded in front of Chopin......
***********
Behind the skeleton army, the strange existence of the nine mages once again arranged a magic array of collective teleportation.
Only this time, standing in the center of the magic array were a full thirty burly and powerful bronze skeletons.
If the strength of the silver skeleton before was relatively restrained, then the strength of these bronze skeletons at this time is not concealed at all.
The previous teleportation of the four silver skeletons consumed a lot of precious materials, and in addition, it also cost the lives of dozens of skeleton knights and six strange mages to teleport a distance of more than two hundred meters.
It is really difficult to say which of the combat power of the thirty skeleton warriors teleported at this time is stronger or weaker than the combat power of the four silver skeletons, but the cost of teleporting these thirty bronze skeletons at this time is not only several times that of the four silver skeletons that were teleported before.
One is naturally that the number of bronze skeletons teleported this time is too much, which is basically equivalent to eight times the number of silver skeletons teleported before, and the second is that the distance of teleportation has suddenly expanded from the original more than two hundred meters to the current five or six hundred meters, although the distance has only increased a little more than doubled, but the cost of teleportation is too high.
The previous teleportation of the four silver skeletons cost the lives of dozens of skeleton knights, and at this time, what did the teleportation of these thirty bronze skeletons cost.
What no one noticed was that six invisible dotted lines were drawn out from the six-pointed star at some point, and the six dotted lines connected to only one target, which was the golden skeleton located at the top of the watchtower.
At this time, the golden skeleton did not have the kingly spirit it had shown before, but looked extremely embarrassed. His knees fell to his knees involuntarily, as if he was suffering from some great pain.
From the six dotted lines, a trace of cyan soul fire continued to pass from the dotted line to the six-pointed star array.
With the infusion of this wisp of cyan soul fire, the originally dim six-pointed star magic circle also gradually lit up, but at the same time, the originally rich cyan soul fire in the golden skeleton's eyes became more and more dim, like a faint candle struggling in the wind, and it seemed that it could be extinguished at any time.
"Smack!"
When the cyan soul fire in the golden skeleton's hollow eyes completely dimmed, the six-pointed star circle was also on the verge of activation, but it was still a little close.
And just when the nine strange mages looked at each other, a purple flame suddenly jumped out of the lake behind them, which was originally waveless, and then silently injected into the six-pointed star array.
And with the injection of this last trace of flame, the six-pointed star circle that had been prepared for a long time was finally officially activated.
"Click-"
With the sound of something shattering, the strange existence of the nine mages turned into bones fluttering in the sky in an instant, and at the same time, the thirty bronze skeletons also disappeared in unison.
***********
Having been attacked by the silver skeletons that were suddenly teleported over, Chopin was naturally worried that the other party would use a similar method to deal with the artillery under him, so he had already set up a special defense around those artillery before the collision began.
It's just that the rift in time and space was torn again, and Chopin's previous arrangements and defenses were of no use at all.
In the crack of the black press, thirty bronze skeletons jumped out of it without the slightest warning.
After the line infantry in ambush around them discovered the surprise attack of these guys, they immediately aimed their black muzzles at these bronze skeletons, but before the wildly dancing lead bullets could hit them, these guys burst out at a perverted speed.
At this moment, the soul fire in the hollow eyes of each bronze skeleton was burning wildly, and with the rapid decrease of the soul fire, the movement speed of a famous bronze skeleton was also increasing wildly.
As soon as these thirty bronze skeletons appeared, they rushed towards the dozens of cannons scattered around them at the fastest speed, as if they had been rehearsed countless times.
An artilleryman looked at the bronze skeletons rushing over, but he didn't have too much fear, their main duty was naturally to fire artillery, but this did not mean that they did not have the slightest combat power.
Looking at the bronze skeletons surging in front of them, the gunners also pulled the trigger of the black pressure flintlock pistol in their hands one after another.
Only this time, the "bang" sound expected by the gunners did not appear, and was replaced by a thunderous roar.
After a bronze skeleton approached the cannons, he did not hesitate to release all the power in his body in an instant.
"Boom Boom-"
All of a sudden, the sound of explosions, like the roar of artillery fire, continued to sound in the artillery camp.
A bronze cannon that seemed to be extremely strong was destroyed almost instantly, and as for the gunners next to them who were just flesh and blood, how could they block the surging power, under the impact of this huge force, in an instant, the bodies of all the gunners turned into a pile of minced flesh.
The color of blood spread wildly in an instant.
***********
Chopin's original attention was all on the battlefield in front of him, but the sudden loud roar in the rear made him subconsciously turn around and look, and this look, the original anger in Chopin's eyes turned into the color of blood that burned everything in an instant.
The roar of a series of shells like falling shells made the artillery camp behind change in an instant, and the dust dancing in the sky was like a rising dragon, covering the area in a blur.
And when the rising dust gradually fell, there were only ten of the original forty artillery pieces left, and as for the remaining thirty guns, they were either directly shattered or completely deformed.
Fortunately, the four 24-pounder Guards infantry guns did not suffer any damage, but some stood out between the damaged guns.
"These damn guys, how dare they......"
At the same time that Chopin was extremely angry, the mysterious consciousness at the bottom of the lake obviously also noticed the damage of these cannons, and then he was also relieved, but the discovery soon after made this mysterious consciousness almost spew out a mouthful of old blood......
**********
Chopin's side did not have a large number of artillery as backup, while the undead skeleton side had the blessing of a black energy body, and the gap between the two sides also expanded to the maximum in an instant.
In the face of undead skeletons several times their own, no matter how brave and fearless these imperial soldiers were, they still had dual limitations in physical strength and spirit, and at this time, under the impact of this completely unequal force, the imperial soldiers were also retreating.
After perceiving the severity of the battle situation ahead, Chopin's expression gradually returned to calm, and then he recruited with great calm.
And this time, the troops he recruited were not unique to the French Empire, but the former trump card of the British Empire - the Cold Creek Guards!
"Cold Creek Guards Regiment: Officially known as His Majesty's Cold Creek Guards Infantry Regiment, it is part of the British Army Guards Division and the Royal Guards Division. The regiment is the oldest regiment in the English regular army, and was founded in 1650 by George Munch in Cold Creek on the Scottish border, hence its name. ”
"Recruitment Price: 800 Energy/Gold."
"Number of recruits: 120."
In the Empire's war, the Cold Creek Guards were unique to the British Empire, and in the history of the British Empire, this unit was also famous.
In its 360-year history, the regiment has been awarded 13 Victoria Cross, 1 George Cross, and 117 combat exploits, which is enough to see how glorious the Cold Creek Guards Regiment once was.
The Cold Creek Guards Regiment was born during the English Civil War, and according to the orders of Oliver Cromwell, George Munch drew five companies from each of the two regiments to form the George Munch Infantry Regiment in 1650.
In 1661, the Munch Regiment was reorganized into the Lord's General's Guards Infantry Regiment and joined the Royal Guard. When Munch died in 1670, the regiment was renamed the Cold Creek Guards Infantry Regiment.
During the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, the Cold Creek Guards Infantry Regiment defeated the French army in Egypt. In 1807, the regiment was sent to Copenhagen. In January 1809, the ship was shipped to Portugal to join the Duke of Wellington's troops. He then took part in the Battle of Waterloo as part of the 2nd Guards Brigade, repelling a ferocious French attack outside the Hogumont estate. This defensive battle is considered the greatest achievement of the regiment and is even commemorated annually with ceremonies. Wellington himself praised after the battle: "The successful end of the battle of Hogumont marks the opening of the door to victory." ”
Since its establishment, the Cold Creek Guards Regiment has experienced countless battles, and they have also suffered huge losses, losing almost all of its members on two occasions, but the strength of the Cold Creek Guards Regiment is undoubted.
As the ace of the British Empire, those players who love the whole war in later generations like to compare it with the old French guards when they mention the Cold Creek Guards.
In order to alleviate the current situation, Chopin recruited a full five Cold Creek Guards in one go, and with the addition of these six hundred living forces, the battle situation slowly stabilized.
