Chapter 742: Fight to the Death and Don't Retreat
Looking at the Angel Clan warriors of the Erathia Army who appeared on one of the magic screens, Jian Chen's face sank like water. [.. cOm]
For a long time, the battle between the Entagrean army and the Erathia army was either at sea or in the air, even in Bairdes, except for the first battle, the Entagrei army also used guerrilla tactics to deal with the other party at other times, and there were few face-to-face battles like now, and most of them were victorious and undefeated, which made Chen Jian always have not much concept of the real combat effectiveness of the Erathia army, which has the title of the strongest army in the mainland, and even underestimated it a little.
Coupled with the weakness of the Erathia Army in the battles in various places, Chen Jian's awe of the Erathia Army began to dissipate day by day.
Sometimes, Jian Chen even felt that the Erathia Army was actually nothing more than that.
It was not until today that Jian Chen realized that he was wrong, very wrong, and it was not for nothing that the Erathia Army could be called the strongest army in the mainland.
This is indeed an army that can make people deeply awe-inspired, and their courage, their sacrifice, have not disgraced their title of the strongest on the continent.
In the great air battle last night, they withstood the onslaught of the powerful flying units of the Ntagrean army composed of many races with only the griffin troops, and although they themselves were almost completely wiped out, they ensured the safety of the ground troops and greatly depleted the physical strength of the Ntagrean army's flying troops.
Even because the top units of the Entagre Army, such as the elites of the Dragon Clan, the Angel Clan and the Demon Clan, are mostly deployed in the flying troops, so the Erathia Army is equivalent to the air battle last night, successfully consumed the combat effectiveness of the opponent's top troops, and now these troops are exhausted after fierce battles in the middle of the night, which causes the next offensive and defensive battles, these troops are very unsatisfactory and lose all their power.
Jian Chen didn't know whether these were deliberately arranged by the opponent or unintentional, but now these are no longer important, the facts have been created, and it is useless to think about them.
Chen Jian noticed that a certain section on the far right of his defense line had been broken by the enemy, and that section of the defense line was already precarious, although he had already sent reinforcements over after discovering this, but the enemy's actions were far faster than he imagined, and the appearance of those angel warriors had a serious impact on the battle situation, and if it continued like this, even if the reinforcements arrived, it would not be able to stop the enemy's tidal attack with the angel clan as the arrow, and the loss of that section of the defense line was only a matter of time.
At this time, the troops in his hands that can be used to fight against the enemy's angel clan in this kind of melee are gone, and those top troops in his hands are dragging their exhausted bodies after fierce battles in the middle of the night, fighting hard with the enemy on other defense lines, in fact, it is precisely because of the hard work of these top troops that those defense lines can hold on to the present, the enemy's offensive is too fierce, and it also occupies the two advantages of magic and troops.
"No wonder I couldn't see the shadow of the enemy's angel clan troops last night, originally they had such a plan"
Jian Chen had a headache.
He had the intention of transferring some men and horses from Moriel's side to help, he had already seen that the enemy had put the direction of the main attack on his side, and the situation on Moriel's side was much easier than here, but Tren, the only one who could open the one-way magic portal, sent him to perform another important mission, and he couldn't get out at this time, so he had no way to transfer troops from Moryl now, if Moriel's men and horses came from the road, the daylily would be cold.
Jian Chen understood that that section of the defense line must not be lost, otherwise once the enemy opened a gap from there and attacked the camp, the entire defense line laid by the Entagri army would collapse, and at that time, if it fell into a full-scale melee, the situation would definitely turn unfavorable to the Entagri army, as long as the enemy attacked and targeted him, the emperor of the Entagri Empire, then the Entagri army would be very passive.
Whether it was out of consideration for the overall situation of the battle, or out of concern for his own personal safety, he could not let the Erathian army attack.
So he didn't think about it for too long, and made a decisive decision.
"Vikna, you take the royal guards to top me up" Pointing to the section of defense on the screen, Jian Chen turned around and gave such an order to the female elf who had been standing behind him.
The Royal Guard is composed of carefully selected elite warriors in the army, among which there are many strong battle races, and the combat effectiveness is considerable, if this army is dispatched, it will definitely be of great help to the battle situation, and it is not a big problem to block the enemy's angel troops.
As long as he gains a period of time and stabilizes the defensive line, he can calmly redistribute the opponent's forces, and it will not be so easy for the enemy to attack again.
At this time, Esrena, who is the captain of the guard, is not there, and the commander of this guard is Vikna, who is the deputy captain of the guard, but Vikna obviously does not want to accept this order, in her eyes, the duty of herself and the guard is to protect the safety of Jian Chen here, not to go to the front line to fight the enemy.
"Your Majesty's safety ......" Vikna tried to convince Jian Chen to abandon this plan, or at least try to keep half of the guards to continue guarding him, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Jian Chen, who knew what she wanted to say.
"This is an order for Vikna's royal guards, all of them are dispatched" He said that he looked at Vikna's eyes fixedly, and said word by word: "If you insist on not going, then I will go myself"
"Your Majesty is cautious" Vikna was taken aback by Jian Chen's words, she was interested in Jian Chen, naturally she had a lot of observations on Jian Chen on weekdays, of course, she knew that the man in front of her was definitely a person who did what he said, and if he said so, he would really do it, "Vikna took the order, but I also asked Your Majesty to agree to leave a part of the people to continue to protect Your Majesty"
As she spoke, Vikna's eyes glanced at Katarina, who was sitting on the side and was also paying attention to the development of the battle: "At the same time, we will also protect the safety of our guests together."
Being reminded by Vikna like this, Chen Jian, who was focused on the war, remembered that there were still outsiders in the tent, and immediately nodded: "You can arrange it, but you have to act quickly, you can't wait too long over there."
"Your Majesty rest assured that Vikna will not fail in her mission" Vikna answered, waved her hand and summoned several high-ranking officers in the royal guard, whispered something, then turned around and strode out of the tent, and after a while, there were various sounds of the army moving outside the tent.
The Royal Guard, dispatched.
"Erathia Army, as expected, lives up to its reputation"
Watching all this silently, the pirate princess Katarina was secretly shocked in her heart, and she, like Jian Chen, was taken aback by the sudden burst of powerful combat power from the Erathia army.
"It was so difficult for the invincible Entagre army to deal with it, and even had to send out the royal guards to rescue the emergency"
Thinking about it like this, Katarina was also a little surprised by the decisiveness shown by Jian Chen.
"This man is so bold, not only is he not chaotic in the face of danger, but he even plans to go to the battle in person, regardless of whether his style is true or not, but this trick is used to buy people's hearts, but the effect is quite good, no wonder those soldiers look at him, they are always so fanatical, and they are also unrelenting in this aspect, I really can't compare to him"
While Katarina was thinking wildly in her mind, a pair of beautiful eyes kept spinning around on Chen Jian's body, but Chen Jian, who couldn't help but remember her existence, suddenly turned his head and smiled at her: "This battle is like this, it really makes Her Royal Highness Catarina laugh."
Looking at Jian Chen's smiling face, Katarina felt a little weak for some reason, and her pretty face turned red unconsciously: "Your Majesty said that it was funny, the combat effectiveness of the Entagrui Army is really breathtaking, I can't even admire it, how dare I make fun of it?" Moreover, His Majesty should deal with it calmly and calmly, presumably there must be other back-ups, so I am really looking forward to the outcome of this battle."
She looked shy, but Chen Jian was stunned.
In Jian Chen's impression, although Katarina, the pirate princess, said that her smile was a bit of a feeling of being fascinated by death, but she had always been quite strong, he never thought that the other party would have such a side, looking at the woman in front of her suddenly becoming a shy and smiling little woman, Chen Jian was really a little uncomfortable.
How did he know that he had already become a very special existence in the other party's mind.
Jian Chen was stunned, but a pair of eyes stopped on Katarina's face, Katarina, who was unaware of her own changes, was confused by him, her face became more and more red, and her heartbeat accelerated a lot.
"Why is he staring at me like that all of a sudden?"
Katarina's mind is a little confused, high IQ but not equal to high EQ, the pirate princess, who has never had some kind of experience, was confused by the strange eyes of the man in front of her, and she didn't know what to do.
"Could it be that I have something on my face? Or did I just say something wrong? Subconsciously, Katarina reached out and touched her face, only to realize that her face was a little hot.
Her action made Jian Chen finally come back to his senses, and found that he still had the heart to think about women at such a critical moment, he couldn't help but secretly cry ashamed, hurriedly looked away, said a few polite words, and then focused on the war again, but did not find that he was changing too fast, but it was extremely unnatural, and he didn't notice that his change made Katarina's face feel a little lost.
At this time, on the battlefield displayed on the magic screen that Jian Chen was concerned about, the situation had undergone some changes.
Amy's longbow had long since been lost in a corner, and what he was carrying was an Entagrean-style scimitar, and he and his lizardmen longbowmen were already in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
After the appearance of those angel warriors belonging to the Erathia army, the defense line laid by him and Eufritin's joint efforts was disrupted, although Eufrittin and his warriors tried their best, they still could not stop the enemy who was far outnumbered by them, and those angel warriors with wings swept over their heads and pounced directly on Amy and the others in the rear.
The trebuchet, which had only time to fire three rounds, was destroyed in the blink of an eye by these fierce warriors, who then launched a massacre of the lizardmen, longbowmen, and elven archers, quickly disrupting the enemy's formation.
Where the angels passed, Amy could only watch his people and those elves fall in pieces, these opponents were not at all they could deal with, he turned his eyes to the dwarf before, hoping that the dwarf who performed well could help him, but found that at this time the dwarf had also fallen into a bitter battle, self-protection was insufficient, and where was the spare strength to help him.
The collapse of the lizardmen longbowmen and elven archers made the attack of the Erathia army very unresistant, and countless Erathia soldiers climbed over the earthen wall and joined the battle.
Swinging the knife and slashing down one of the Elasia spearmen again, Amy was knocked to the ground with a shield by a crusader attacking from the flank, and the sword in his hand was also wrenched away with a long sword by the opponent.
Seeing that the opponent's sword was raised high above the top and stabbed heavily, Amy roared unwillingly, and a big tail quickly twisted the opponent's right foot and pulled it, making the opponent almost lose his balance.
Then without waiting for the other party to stabilize his figure, Amy rolled on the ground a few times regardless of the image, and picked up a short sword that someone fell to the ground without knowing it, and hurriedly got up.
But these did not change the fate of his failure, although his archery skills were good, but his martial arts skills could only be regarded as mediocre, and his opponent at this time was a crusader who was famous for his outstanding martial arts, so in just one round, he was beaten off the short sword in his hand by the opponent who attacked again.
"It's over" watched the other party slash at his neck with a sword, and Amy, who knew that he could not avoid it, finally closed his eyes in despair, and then in the sound of steel impact, he felt some warm liquid splash on his face.
But there was no pain in his neck that was cut, Amy opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that the long sword in the crusader on the opposite side had already stopped in mid-air, and it didn't hit him at all, on the contrary, the crusader's neck was inlaid with an extremely sharp short axe, which broke through the relatively weak armor on the crusader's neck with amazing force, and cut deep into the flesh and blood under the armor. The crusader's head had been cut off almost entirely, and red blood was spurting from the wound like a spring.
The mortally wounded crusader fell hard, and Amy couldn't make out the expression on the other man's face because of the helmet, but he could see the unwillingness, anger, and horror in the other's eyes through the gap in the helmet.
Without thinking, Amy reached out and snatched the long sword from the opponent's hand, and forced back another Erathian soldier who was approaching him with a flurry of swings, and then he saw out of the corner of his eye that a group of warriors in golden armor had appeared on the battlefield at some point.
"Could it be the legendary Imperial Warrior Troop?"
After seeing the armor patterns of these warriors, Amy couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"Are reinforcements coming?" He looked back, but was surprised to find that the large reinforcements he had imagined had not appeared, and the Imperial warrior troops who had joined the war group were only a few hundred.
"Focus on you idiot"
Amy was startled by a loud shout, and when she turned her head again, she saw a tall figure in golden armor pass over her, and slashed an Elassian soldier with a spear into her with an axe to the ground.
"The enemy is right in front of you, do you dare to be distracted and look around for your life?" The tall figure continued to slash and slash the enemies around him, and at the same time scolded without looking back, Amy was shocked to find that this guy had already let go of three soldiers of the Erathian Army in just the time he had said such a sentence, including a crusader who was extremely difficult in Amy's eyes.
"I owe you my life," Amy shouted loudly, waving her sword and joining the fight again, the voice of the other man seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.
"It's two lives Amy" the tall figure laughed, and put down another crusader in his hand, "And the throwing axe just now, don't forget, if you don't die at the end of the battle, you will invite me to drink old Kobe's tavern"
"Wozzak?" The lizardman finally knew who the other party was, his tall stature, and that familiar voice, reminded him of the trip to Negan that made him unforgettable, and the new friend he knew at that time, "It turned out to be you"
But at this time, Wozzak did not have time to deal with him, and an archangel set his sights on the fierce barbarian.
This archangel is extraordinary, obviously an experienced battlefield veteran, and such an opponent even Wozzak has to fight with 120,000 points of spirit to deal with it.
Worzak and the others were not the reinforcements assigned by Chen Jian to reinforce this defensive line, they were stationed on another defensive line nearby, but the fighting there was far less fierce than here, and after Wozzak found that the battle situation here was a little bad, he rushed over with his Imperial warrior troops on his own initiative.
It's just that Wozzak didn't realize that the judgment he made on the spot had a crucial impact on this battle, because it was precisely because of their participation and fighting that this section of defense defended by Eufrittin and Amy and others was never completely broken through by the Erathian army before the royal guards and other reinforcements sent by Chen Jian arrived.
"Courage, Responsibility, Honor"
In the midst of his roar, Wozzak finally swung the archangel warrior who was entangled with him into two pieces with an axe.
"Courage, Responsibility, Honor"
More voices appeared on the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Erathian Army were surprised to find that the indomitable offensive of their Angel Clan troops was blocked by the newly appeared enemies wearing golden armor.
(I'm going back to Hammondale, Gongzi and Jian Chen need everyone's strong support, let's give us more motivation)
