Chapter 145: Shaket's Attack
It was not easy for Hui to finally correct the opponent's cave man Shakt found that although he was not careful, he still underestimated the adaptability of this opponent.
At this time, the human lord named Jian Chen put in front of him was not a phalanx of spears that had killed the robber cavalry, but a jaw-dropping chariot formation.
Or it can't be said to be a chariot formation, but rather a simple fortress composed of all kinds of horses and weapons.
The discovery nearly caused Shaket to vomit blood.
In order to deal with a strong enemy. Jian Chen once again made use of all the carriages in his team.
During the time when they were pinned down by the harpies and the main enemy force had not yet arrived, under the arrangement of Jian Chen, the Hammondale soldiers connected all the carriages from end to end. composed of a meme. Circular walls, behind which the soldiers now hide with heavy crossbows. The body and the large amount of cargo that was not unloaded on the car provided them with excellent cover.
Since the original carriage in the previous battle was not damaged, and a lot of materials were captured by the robbers after the battle, the number of carriages in Chen Jian's team at this time was a little too much for a small army of hundreds of people. Therefore, he was able to successfully surround his defense team and monks and more than a dozen robber magicians in the carriage.
At the same time, a large number of weapons captured in the last battle were also put to use, these weapons were originally to be pulled back to Hammondale by the lord who slammed the door, and then returned to the furnace to be refined, but now they have become a sharp weapon for the soldiers to defend.
These weapons were fixed to the outside of the wall in various ways by the soldiers, and some were even inserted directly into the surface, and the dense blades would make it difficult for any opponent who tried to destroy the wall.
The information reported by the harpy that the other party had gathered all the horses together, led by the cavalry team of only a hundred people at this time, formed a strange cavalry formation with a small number of horses but as many as nearly 400 horses, which made Shakett feel a serious threat.
Shaket discovered. I still underestimate my opponent too much, this opponent is really not ordinarily difficult
。
In normal times, this kind of carriage is a simple fortress Shaket really does not pay attention, as long as the trebuchet or ballista is erected, it can bring heavy damage to the opponent.
However, because he had to run long distances to chase his opponent, Shakett did not bring any of these bulky equipment with him.
And because he was too obsessed with dealing with the enemy's spear formation, the number of soldiers he now brought with him who had the ability to attack the enemy was too small, and the ranged troops who were not good at close combat accounted for the majority.
There were also 400 cavemen infantry who were left behind to protect the enemy because they were too slow to march too early.
Knowing the power of the Erathian Empire's heavy crossbows, Shakt did not dare to rashly let the soldiers attack. He thought about it for a moment and decided to try it with magic to see if he could break through the enemy's tight defenses.
"Master Copperfield, what do you think of the enemy's defenses?" Shaket asked one of the human mages beside him.
Copperfield Magician was seconded by Shackt to the Dragon Queen in order to deal with the enemy's fire magic master, this Negan human magician has mastered water magic, and only recently joined the Dragon Queen's army.
Copperfield shook his head in response to the caveman's inquiry, "My lord." I'm a water magician.,Attacking is not my strong point.,There's only one powerful enough magic in my hand that can be intercepted.,If the enemy has a fire magician as you said.,I'm afraid my attack won't be able to do anything! ”
The magician's answer made Shaket very depressed.
By this time, the sky had slowly darkened, and Baildus's large size began to shroud in darkness.
Both Negan's army and the Emperor's army lit a large number of torches. The sparkling light of the fire sent a flash of inspiration to Shaket's mind.
Then he burst out laughing.
At the same time, Jian Chen was staying in the improvised position he had built with his carriage, riding on a flying horse staring intently at the magic screen in front of him.
All around him, monks and robber mages were rapidly blessing the heavenly griffons with all kinds of beneficial magic
The sorceress held the staff that Terrence Lockein had used, "also riding a Pegasus and staying by the lord's side."
At this time, the female magician was unusual, she took off the magician robe that signified her identity as a magician, and put on the royal leather armor with good defensive power given to her by the lord.
This high-grade leather armor, which can be adjusted according to the wearer's figure, was given to the graceful sorceress with some bad intentions after the lord confirmed that it could be given away and would not attract the pursuit of the empire.
The female mage who knew the other party's thoughts cherished this leather armor very much. But it is rarely worn in normal times, and today for some reason. But she put it on.
Not only that, but the sorceress also wore a magic talisman that the lord later gave her. In his left hand, he still holds the tribute from the Thor's giants
As far as a magician is concerned, today's Ashdamp sorceress is fully armed, and her royal leather armor and other high-level mage equipment have caused all the monks and robber mages to suffer from pink eye.
What made the eyes of the monks and robber mages blush was another robber mage who stayed by the lord's side.
The human mage named Erwin was one of only three expert-level bandit mages, and because of his expert-level earth-based magic, the lord-sama who liked to make the most of it was very generous to lend him the earth-based magic orb that had never been of much use to him in this battle.
At this time, Erwin was carefully holding this magical treasure handed down from the Age of Miracles in his hand, carefully feeling the powerful power emanating from above, his eyes straightened.
He never imagined that his humble self would one day have the opportunity to use this legendary magical treasure.
"It's time to start! Master Temple, Atmospheric Aegis. Cast it now! Elwin, sluggish**. Get ready to wait for my commands! ”
The order from the lord brought Erwin back to reality from his trance, and he began to nervously prepare for magic.
At this time, the morale of the emperor ** team was still quite high. The lord's calm appearance made the Hammondale soldiers also morale high. The monks who had seen the lord's methods were also calm. Only a dozen robber mages were a little scared by the enemy's strength, but under the influence of the soldiers around them, they were able to obey orders.
The Negan attack soon began. The first to attack was an army of archers consisting of four hundred Medusa.
Under the cover of the human infantry holding shields, these half-human, half-snake creatures slowly advanced towards the Jian Xuan position where Jian Chen and the others were.
In order to prevent the enemy's fire mages from having the opportunity to use magic to attack these Medusa, who were lined up in dense formations, Master Copperfield began to prepare high-level magic to attack the enemy at the request of Shacht. The strong fluctuations of the water-based magic elements in the air immediately attracted the attention of the female magician on Chen Jian's side.
"My lord, the enemy is about to attack with magic, judging by the fluctuations of the elements. The enemy should have a master of water magic! ”
The female magician's report made Jian Chen frown and asked, "Do you know what the method is?"
The sorceress shook her head.
"Then prepare to intercept, if it is the type that cannot be intercepted, you will directly attack the enemy's archer troops! It's a big deal to lose both! Jian Chen said fiercely, and then turned his attention to the magic screen and the battlefield.
The strength of the water magic master Copperfield is indeed good, and soon a water magic "ice bursts." The dazzling blue light emitted by the two spells that had already been formed was particularly eye-catching in the night.
Then the huge magic ice ball, which had concentrated a large amount of water element, drew a long blue trajectory in the night sky and flew towards the wall of the car under the Chen scraped cloth.
If you are struck by this magic, a large part of the carriage, which is not very strong, will definitely be destroyed. Therefore, the female magician did not hesitate to throw out a long-prepared continuous ball fireball, and the red magic fireball and the blue magic ice ball collided fiercely in the air, and the female magician's superb magic control ability was evident in this interception.
As the two magic balls exploded in the air, the red and blue magic elements that were torn apart were as brilliant as two blooming fireworks in the night sky, causing the soldiers on both sides to exclaim.
Shakett shook his head regretfully at the failure of the magic attack, although it was expected, but the caveman couldn't help but have some expectations.
But even so, his goal was achieved, due to the containment of Master Copperfield. The enemy mages were unable to inflict little damage on the Medusa, allowing the Medusa archers to get into effective range.
"Master Copperfield! Please! ”
"Leave it to me, Lord Shaket!" Copperfield nodded skeptically, then chanted the magic spell again.
At this time, the long-range troops of the two sides also began to fight, and the Hammondale soldiers, who had a longer range, took the lead, hiding behind wagons and cargo, sniping at their opponents with heavy crossbows in their hands.
Under their attack, the Negan advancing archers sometimes fell screaming, but the well-trained Negan soldiers still firmly advanced to the position assigned by Shakter.
"Shoot back, prepare!"
"Gather fire!"
At the sound of the command, the Medusas bent their bows and arrows in unison, the tips of the arrows pointed diagonally at the sky, and in front of each row of Medusa, a human soldier who flew by held a torch and lit the arrows of the Medusas one by one.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Hundreds of flaming feathered arrows flew into the night sky of Baildes with the Medusa letting go of their bowstrings at the same time, and the gorgeous and spectacular scene stunned Jian Chen, who was closely watching the enemy's movements.
