The offensive of the Entagri army was frustrated, but Moriel, who was directing the battle through the magic of the magic of the Magic Eye in the rear, was very calm, and there was no sadness or joy on his face.

She had expected this to happen, and with Catherine in charge, it would be strange if Arissanret was vulnerable.

However, the strong defense shown by Arissanrite at this moment still surprised Moriel a little, she expected that Arisret was not a bone to gnaw on, but she really did not expect that this bone would be so hard.

"Catherine is Catherine, and she really lives up to her reputation, and in a short period of time, she can run Arissanret to such a point!"

Thinking like this, Morriel was also more determined to kill this Catherine in one fell swoop in this battle, even if a character like Catherine could not be a friend, but she could not be a stumbling block to Jian Chen's conquest.

She wasn't worried that the first wave of her troops would be defeated by the enemy's counterattack, the battle had just begun, and the Erathian army was a bit of a surprise, but why did the Ntagrean army do its best?

Morrill believed that as soon as the Ntagari Army, who were still a little uncomfortable with the enemy's fighting style, came to their senses, the tide of battle would change immediately.

In fact, the battle situation is indeed changing little by little, as she thought.

Instead of being discouraged, the soldiers of the Entagri Army were aroused even more vigorously.

They began to return the color to the Erathian army.

"Steady! Steady! ”

Furious, Worzak shouted for his subordinates to form a circle to fend off the enemy's long-range attacks from all directions, and scrambled to pull out a magic scroll from the leather bag around his waist. After making sure that he had made a mistake, he quickly unfolded the magic scroll.

A dazzling ball of green magic light flew up into the sky from his hand, and immediately emitted a large amount of green smoke, even though it was daytime, this special magic ball of light was very conspicuous in the sky due to its brightness and those green smoke.

This is a magic flare that represents a request for air support.

The Entagrean Army has air power unmatched by other armies. This is already an indisputable fact, and Jian Chen has always been a guy who is good at attacking the enemy's strengths and attacking the enemy's shortcomings, so of course he will try to infinitely magnify this advantage of his side.

As for how to carry out air-ground coordinated operations more effectively in a specific environment, Chen Jian certainly took a lot of thought.

As a result, a variety of corresponding tactics and supporting contact methods were also released. Thanks to the excellent craftsmanship of the elf clan, the mass production of magic flares has also been realized some time ago.

Jian Chen ordered these magic flares to be divided into different colors and meanings. For example, the magic flares used by ground troops to request air support are divided into many types according to their colors, such as vertical bombardment, long-range attacks, air cover, and so on.

The green flare sent by Vozzak at this time represents the need for him to ask the dragon forces to assist in the attack.

In just a short time, a black dragon led a dragon team composed of a mixture of black dragons and red dragons, under the guidance of this signal flare. Came menacingly over the heads of the people of Vožak.

At this time, the good military quality of the Entagri army once again played its due role, and when they found the dilemma of Worzak and the others, this dragon team did not say a word. Without further explanations from Worzak and the others, under the command of the black dragon in the leader, they pounced on the enemy firing positions composed of many shooting holes and were attacking friendly forces with dense long-range fire.

Although the shooting holes built by the Erathian army in Arissanret expanded the viewing angle and shooting angle to the maximum, the shooting holes were only shooting holes after all, and the viewing angle was still quite limited, and the Erathian soldiers who were happily attacking Wozak and others did not notice the dragons falling from the sky. By the time they realized something was wrong, the dragons had landed in front of the shooting holes.

Their heavy bodies and huge flapping wings. Stirred up large clouds of dust on the ground, blurring the enemy's vision. Then, without waiting for the stunned enemy to react, they began to destroy the shooting holes with their golden claws, and then from these already forcibly widened shooting holes, they spewed a vicious bundle of deadly dragon flame into the enemy's position hidden under the mountain.

"Dragon!"

"Get out of the way!"

The Elasia crossbowmen and priests were thrown into confusion by this sudden turn of events, screaming and turning away from the holes that were getting bigger and bigger under the dragon's claws—not that they weren't brave enough, but that the heavy crossbows and magic in their hands were a little powerless in the face of these behemoths with amazing defenses and magic resistance.

Of course, there are a few brave warriors who try to attack the dragons directly with heavy crossbows and magic when they open their mouths to spit dragon fire, but only a few of them can succeed, and most of them are the first to be victimized.

Because these dragons of the Entagri army had long expected the enemy to have such a hand, so most of them were prepared first, and when a mouthful of dragon flame reached the throat, they quickly put their big mouths in front of those shooting holes, and the crossbow arrows that shot at them were instantly vaporized in the dragon flame, and the magic was also detonated in advance because of the attack of the dragon flame, but caused more damage to the Erathia army itself inside the firing position.

The firing positions that were still echoing with the cheers of the soldiers of the Erathia Army just now turned into a dragon fire hell full of screams and moans, although these firing positions designed by the dwarves built many facilities for the soldiers to hide in response to the attack of the dragon flame, but the internal space was too narrow, and the soldiers were huddled together in a panic, as a result, these facilities basically failed to play a big role, and a large number of crossbowmen and magicians of the Erathian army fell under the attack of the dragon fire in the crowd. As a result, Wozak and others have been liberated from the enemy's long-range fire suppression.

"Onward! Advance! "Breathe a sigh of relief. Wožak immediately came to his senses again, roaring and directing the crowd to rush towards the target location again, and above their heads, more green flares rose into the sky from different positions.

The other ground attack forces of the Entagre Army have also begun to ask for support from the dragon forces.

The tide of battle began to change. The Ntagrei army, which was originally suppressed, in turn took the initiative on the battlefield.

"The first line of defense is almost overwhelmed, Your Majesty!"

Inside Alexandret, deep in the depths, somewhere, an archangel warrior belonging to the Erathian Army whispered to Catherine.

"I see!" Catherine sighed softly and said without looking back, "Pass the order." Each department decided on its own timing of retreat and retreated to the second line of defense according to the original plan! ”

The archangel warrior answered, turned and gave the order.

From the beginning of the battle until now. Catherine's eyes never left the few magic screens in front of her, in fact, she didn't need her subordinates to analyze the current battle situation according to the feedback of the battle situation everywhere, and then report to her, she could also see from these magic screens that the first line of defense was indeed about to be untenable.

And not only could she not hold it, but the first line of defense also fell much earlier than she expected, she originally thought. The first line of defense could be held for at least half a day, but now, not long after the start of the battle, this line of defense is about to completely collapse.

Disposable rolling wooden squirts. It was true that a lot of soldiers of the Entagre Army were killed and wounded, and they immediately lost their effectiveness, and most of the carefully designed and built firing positions were also destroyed because of the large-scale sweep of the dragons of the Entagre Army, Catherine knew that if it were not for the passage connecting these firing positions and the interior of Arissanret, it was also specially designed, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if necessary, it could be completely sealed by some mechanisms. Perhaps the Ntagrean army will be able to penetrate directly into the interior of Arissanret from these firing positions.

Finding that the battle situation was unfavorable, Catherine simply abandoned the first line of defense. Even the pre-arranged plan to send surprise troops to the ground to launch a counter-charge in the hope of retaking a potentially lost position was ordered to be cancelled. She now understands that as long as it is a battlefield exposed to the sky, in the face of the Nta Gree army with absolute air superiority, the chances of the Erathia army winning are too low.

Sometimes, retreating is to be able to fight better, and giving up is not necessarily cowardice, but a kind of bravery, these truths, Catherine knows very well.

As Catherine's orders were conveyed and the battlefield began to shift from the outside of Arissanret to the inside, more and more of the Elassian soldiers abandoned their original positions, they retreated into the alternate passages, and with the help of the deliberately created favorable terrain, they fought hard to block the incoming Entagre troops, and then blocked these passages one by one with various mechanisms that had been set up for a long time, not only killing and wounding a number of enemies, but also preventing the enemy from using these passages to attack the interior of Arissanret.

This situation made many soldiers of the Entagri Army angry and scolded, they never imagined that they had finally taken down those firing positions that had made their side suffer so much, and they would have to face such a situation, many soldiers of the Entagri Army who fought bravely followed the enemy into those passages, only to be buried alive by the enemy with various mechanisms.

In some places, there were even cases where soldiers on both sides were buried alive by these mechanisms at the same time, and the soldiers of the Erathian Army, who had been defending at the other end of the passage, found that the friendly troops defending in front of them were entangled by the enemy and could not retreat in time, so in order to ensure that the enemy would not be allowed to attack the inside of the fortress, they brazenly activated the mechanism and buried all the friendly and enemy troops in those death passages.

The fighting was fierce.

However, this did not happen to Vozzak and his party, because they had no intention of attacking from those firing positions due to their special mission, and after receiving the support of the dragons, they continued to advance towards the target location according to the original plan.

It's just that their battle is not easy, and it can even be said that it is even harder.

Because what they are attacking is not a death passage where people can be buried alive, but it is a main passage with more organs and stronger defenses.

There are many internal passages in Arishanret, but of course there are some major passages, and the others are attached to these main passages. The Erathian Army was intending to hold on to Arissanret, intending to contain the enemy, rather than bury themselves alive, so of course they couldn't have designed some traps for these main passages like those inconsequential passages. It can be used for complete closure at any time.

Therefore, they painstakingly designed and built many defensive facilities on these main passages, a large number of lethal traps and traps, the existence of these defensive facilities and trap mechanisms, although it could not allow the Erathian army to be able to do a single pass in these passages, but it also reached the level that it could be outnumbered, and it was not so easy for the Entagre army to capture these main passages.

The node that Wozzak and the others are trying to overcome. It's right inside this main channel, which means that the channel before reaching that node. They had to take them all.

It's definitely a life-and-death mission.

Wozak and the others finally managed to enter this passage with a relatively wide entrance, and they had not gone far before they were once again suppressed by long-range attacks from all directions.

"There are so many firing positions built in the passage!"

Wožak's eyes were bursting with fire.

He knew that this mission would be difficult, but he never imagined that this mission would be so difficult, and the enemy's defensive strength was far more terrifying than the information he had obtained.

Worse. Due to the design of the interior of the tunnel, he couldn't call on the dragons to help him because of their size. There was no way to enter this passage at all, which meant that he had to use, and could only use, the forces that the ground forces could provide, to remove all obstacles in his path, including those built in the mountains, which only showed shooting holes. But there was no way to know the enemy's firing positions about the internal situation.

Not only that, but they also have to face all kinds of traps designed by the Dwarves of Enlos to see and not see. and a counter-charge that the enemy's elite units could launch at any time.

At this time, in the rear of Vožak and others. More Entagre troops entered the passage, and the troops responsible for attacking this passage were of course not only Worzak and others, but Vozzak's force was only a small part of it, according to the original plan, they were used as spearheads, they were elites, they were vanguards.

But now, once again, they were pinned down by the enemy, unable to move, and even the other troops behind them were crowded in the passage and could not move.

This situation really made Wozzak feel depressed.

"Think of a way! Pull these nails out! ”

With these humanoid meat shields of Thor trolls, although everyone can't move forward, they don't have to worry about self-protection for the time being, Wozzak let the Thor trolls form a human wall in front of them with the giant shields, and gathered some magicians to help the Thor trolls fight against the enemy's magic attacks, and then gathered a few officers and some nimble guys to hold a live meeting, and the cats gathered in a circle on the ground to study tactics.

"Try it with a magic attack?" A human officer took the lead in proposing, but it was immediately rejected by everyone, although the magic level of the Erathia army is not high, but the number of priests who can do magic is really a lot, and it can only be humiliating to use the magic power of the Entagri army in the passage to fight against them.

Later, several plans were proposed, but they were all rejected one by one, and everyone felt at a loss for a while.

"Can we only attack?" Vožak gritted his teeth, the enemy was under intense fire, and the price to be paid for a strong attack was too high.

"Why don't we try this?" While he was getting annoyed, one of the dwarven officers suddenly pulled out an iron cylindrical object and said, "This thing is not very large, and if it is accurate, it should be able to throw it into those shooting holes!" ”

Everyone knows this thing, it is a grenade that has just been equipped in the army recently.

The power of this grenade has been proven in the previous battle of the Entagre army against the kingdom of Bracada, and now it has begun to be officially equipped with the Entagri army, which is very popular with the soldiers, but due to the problem of production, the number is not much.

"Who has so much strength at such a distance? Such an accurate head? "Immediately there was an objection.

The dwarven officer scratched his head.

Because this is indeed a problem, the range of the Erathia Army's heavy crossbow is of course much farther than that of a grenade thrown by brute force, and the range of magic is the same, although the current location of everyone is not in the limit range of heavy crossbow and magic, but it is not close, and it is indeed not easy to throw a grenade into the shooting hole of the enemy's position at such a distance, or it can be said that it is impossible to achieve.

However, there are no absolutes in the world, and everyone was a little depressed, when they suddenly heard an urn and a voice said, "Or, I'll try?" ”

Wozzak looked up in the direction from which the voice came from, and saw a large green face looking at him expectantly.

It was Thor's Troll Shaka, one of the squad leaders of the Hulk's troop that Worzak had brought in.

Looking at Shaka's eager expression, Wozzak's eyes lit up.

He had seen the throwing ability of the Thor's trolls, and similarly, the strength of the Thor's trolls had long been famous.

"Okay, try!" The young barbarian nodded heavily, and everyone was a little excited.

Shaka grinned, also full of energy, and immediately stretched out his big hand in front of the dwarven officer who had just proposed: "Give me a few!" ”
