Chapter 51 - March to the Terra Gorge

On the 3rd of August, after joining up with Winsland's army of 3,000 reinforcements, Yugsotus and Deucarion began to march with all their might towards the Terra Gorge. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Any enemy troops they encountered along the way were defeated one by one by them with a terrifying rain of thunder guns. There was hardly any army of Alpha with less than 20,000 soldiers capable of fighting them. So they basically encountered no resistance along the way, and the march was very smooth.

But as one of the two powerful empires, how could the Alpha Empire not have any capable army?

Near a forest less than ten kilometers away from the Terra Gorge, Lu Ming and the others encountered the first powerful army they had encountered after entering the territory of the Alpha Empire. It's the Eye of the Forest, which has 50,000 soldiers!

Although this army is not as effective as those that invaded Mirakesa before, it is also a regular army that is not weak. In the face of thunder and guns, the Eye of the Forest still exerted the strength that the regular army should have, and fought back and forth with the army of Lu Ming and others. Forcibly dragged the large army of Lu Ming and others here, and there was no way to occupy the Terra Gorge.

Faced with such a disgusting situation, Lu Ming and the others were very depressed. However, when fighting against the regular army of the Alpha Empire, Yugsotus, Diocalion and other troops did not suffer any big losses, and it was already a very good situation. So they were all thinking about how they could defeat the Eye of the Forest, the army of Alpha, and kill them to the Terra Gorge, instead of how they could retreat safely.

In order to succeed the enemy, Lu Ming and the others chose to fight a long fatigue battle with the Eye of the Forest.

Use the magic of miracles and magic to fight the Eye of the Forest for a long time, slowly depleting the number of their soldiers to achieve victory.

While this approach is somewhat successful, it is a very effective approach. At least with this method, they have already killed a third of the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest. As long as the number of soldiers on the opposing side is reduced to the same as their own, they can attack in full force and defeat the Eye of the Forest from the front.

Standing on the edge of the battlefield, Lu Ming used magic to watch the knights and the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest shoot each other with thunder guns and bows and arrows.

Beside him, Toures was complaining that this was not the proper way to use cavalry, and that it was time to charge, instead of firing at the enemy!

However, no one paid attention to her, whether it was Lu Ming, Winsland, Raman Lass, or Kemias. What is the difference between charging at this time and plunging headlong into the enemy's weapon? Rather than die, it's better to consume it slowly!

"Don't mess around, it's not the time for you to charge with the knights! When the time comes, charge however you want! Winsland, who was so annoyed that he couldn't help but stand up and stop it, and Toures continued to mess around.

Seeing that Winsland had spoken, Touris had no choice but to sit back in his position obediently, and looked at Lu Ming and the others with an unhappy look at the situation on the front line.

"I don't understand, didn't we defeat a lot of Alpha's armies before? Why are you so cautious now? Why is it that Alpha's army is not afraid of our invincible prestige along the way, and fights us without any scruples? Looking at his own Miral's posture commanding on the front line through the magic device, after a while, Touris asked Lu Ming and the others with some doubts.

"The ones we had encountered before were all ragtag armies, composed of private armies of militia and minor nobles, with very poor combat effectiveness and uneven weaponry, so we were able to defeat those armies very easily. And the current army that is fighting with us is the standing army of the Alpha Empire, and it will not go home to farm, and its only job every day is training. The soldiers trained in this way will naturally not be bad, and it is normal to have high combat effectiveness and not be afraid of thunder and gun rain! You must know that this group of elves, in addition to fighting, the only thing they know is training! ā€

The person who answered Touris was a member of the royal family who joined Winsland with Lu Ming, Tadarimus Unos. He was the cousin of Her Majesty the Regent and the Empress, and one of the most combat-ready members of the royal family, and had come to gain some military merit through this campaign, and then to govern one of the two newly-haired island groups on the L'Alleye side.

He was a confidant of the Empress and the Regent, and one of the two principalities of the island group on the sea, which had just been incorporated into the territory of the Kingdom of Mirakesa, had been tacitly granted to him.

As the future Grand Duke, Tadarims differed from his brothers Aman Korsa and Aman Carlton in that he was upright, self-motivated, willing to prove himself, and willing to trade his military exploits for land, the favor of his cousins, and the Wolf Pack Council. He wants to use his ability to prove that he is capable and qualified to obtain his seemingly insignificant principality on the sea, and make everyone who disagrees with him shut up.

Such a completely different personality from Aman Korsa quickly allowed him to integrate into Lu Ming and others and get a certain right to speak.

In addition, the 3,000 soldiers brought by Winsland were also sent to Tadarims by the Empress and the Regent, so he also had command of the troops here. It's just that he can only command the more than three thousand people he brought.

Hearing Tadarims' explanation, Touris thought about it carefully and couldn't help but think that it was still possible. After all, the combat effectiveness of the standing army is much higher than that of the militia, even in Mirakesa!

But then she asked, "And when will we start charging them?" If this continues, their reinforcements will be coming! ā€

Lu Ming touched his chin and adjusted the picture of the magic device with his hand, and when the picture changed to the picture of the soldiers shooting arrows on the other side of the Eye of the Forest, he counted the number of enemy troops slightly, and then turned around and said to Touris and the others: "Three hours later, start a full-scale charge!" After more than ten hours of fighting, we finally had a chance to win! ā€

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Touris suddenly became excited, and began to ask his personal guards to let the stormtroopers who had been resting long enough to cook on the fire, eat their stomachs, and wait for the time for them to appear!

However, at this time, Raman Lath asked Lu Ming and Kemias with some confusion, "Why don't we just kill them?" Why choose to charge and put the soldiers in unnecessary danger? ā€

"The elves are not fools, they know that our goal is to occupy and seal off the Terra Gorge, which is why they choose to fight us here. And because most of our soldiers are infantry and archers, they are not suitable for fighting cavalry, so they will obediently shoot at us. But when they are sure that they will be defeated, they will definitely choose to retreat to the Terra Gorge to fight us with the militia there. The answer to her was Kemias, the elf who knew the best about how to make elves.

It's just that her explanation didn't make Raman Rass clear up his doubts, but instead made one more doubt.

"Then why don't they just fight us over there with the militia legion?"

Faced with this question of Raman Lassy, Kemias sneered and said, "Because they are arrogant! ā€

"Arrogance?"

"They are a standing army, and they are several times larger than ordinary militias in terms of weapons and equipment, so they look down on militiamen with low combat effectiveness and poor weapons and equipment, and they are not willing to share their exploits with them. So as you can see, they'd rather fight alone and shoot at us for more than ten hours than fight side by side with those militias! When he said this, a hint of self-deprecation flashed in Kemias's eyes, which made Lu Ming and the others fall into silence.

-----------------------------------

Relying on the two miracles of thunder guns and sunlight healing, the soldiers under the command of Lu Ming and others consumed countless alchemy potions, and in more than thirteen hours, they forcibly killed nearly half of the enemy soldiers alive by shooting at the enemy, giving their companions the opportunity to charge the enemy with all their might!

At this time, they had nearly 3,000 dead and wounded.

Although it is said that there is an unimaginably powerful miracle of recovery such as sun healing, those who are killed directly by a fatal blow such as the head with an arrow cannot be saved by this miracle. Therefore, these more than 3,000 people were all victims who were shot by an arrow from Ifa's soldiers, and died before they could use a miracle.

However, it was precisely because of the heroic battle of more than 3,000 people that the others had the opportunity to completely defeat the army of the Eye of the Forest.

After confirming that the enemy could participate in melee combat with the same number of soldiers as his own, Lu Ming, Raman Lath, and Winsland immediately ordered the whole army to attack and charge the Eye of the Forest!

In this way, Tourres, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately mounted his war horse, drew his sword, pointed in the direction where the Eye of the Forest was, and shouted: "Charge!" ā€

Immediately almost all the cavalry launched a charge in that direction, and in an instant, the ground shook, and the sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder.

Twenty-five thousand cavalry charged at the same time, the sound was so terrifying that ordinary people would be frightened just by seeing it, but the soldiers of the Eye of the Forest were completely different, they threw down their bows and arrows one by one, picked up their spears, and stood in a row, waiting for the battle.

They formed a phalanx and pointed their spears at the knights of Mirakaiza, ready to show the people of Mirakesa with their determination the strength of the warriors of the Elven Race and their loyalty to the Elven Empress!

Looking at the phalanx posed by the soldiers in the Eye of the Forest, Lu Ming, who was also in the charging ranks, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, raised the Aries Holy Scepter, Lu Ming couldn't help but say that it was a soul spear that hit several Alpha soldiers in the phalanx, killing them in an instant.

However, as soon as a few soldiers were killed here, a few soldiers over there immediately filled up their seats, which were almost exactly the same as the places where the elven soldiers who were killed by Lu Ming before, the knowledge they posed, and the location of their weapons!

Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but praise in his heart that the training of the Eye of the Forest was strict, which was enough to train soldiers to look like this, which was very enviable. But praise is one thing, fighting a war is another.

As one of the first people to enter the enemy phalanx, Lu Ming slammed the Aries Holy Staff in his hand the moment he entered the enemy army, which was directly a flange sword, and without saying a word, he slashed several Alpha soldiers who attacked him to the ground.

Moreover, after entering the phalanx, he used several soul guns and vortex soul blocks in a row, wounding and killing the surrounding Alpha soldiers, so that they had no way to get close to Lu Ming, and could only watch Lu Ming kill his companions with a magic spell.

In this way, for a while, Lu Ming became the person who killed the largest number of enemy soldiers after launching a charge.

But soon he was overtaken by Raman Pull.

Raman Raz, who has the blood of the Zerg, has four arms, and except for the hand that holds the reins, the weapons held in the other three hands are all sharp blades. With each slash, he was able to cut through the armor of the Alpha soldiers, slicing their bodies apart. Not to mention, one of these three weapons is the Blue Flame Sword that can be used as a magic catalyst.

In just a few minutes, she had killed about thirty or forty Alpha soldiers, leaving the others far behind.

Seeing this, Kemias, Tourres, and Tadarims were not to be outdone, and they all made a lot of effort and fought on the battlefield. The soldiers who got the Eye of the Forest thought that these enemy commanders had some kind of enmity!

No matter how many there were, after Lu Ming slashed several enemy soldiers with the Flange Sword, he killed the location of the commander of the Eye of the Forest, and completely handed over the troops and the enemy army to the Lamanrass and the others.

Seeing Lu Ming killing towards his side, the commander of the Eye of the Forest couldn't help but sneer, carried a spear shining with thunder and lightning, slapped his horse, and killed Lu Ming.

Without waiting for the other party to kill him, Lu Ming raised his hand and shot a soul gun, which directly attacked the eyebrows of the elf clan commander.

Such an attack forced the commander of the Eye of the Forest to pull the reins and let the horse run to the side, avoiding the attack of the soul gun.

But at this moment, Lu Ming did not hesitate to urge the horse to kill him. When the distance was about the same, a soul sword slashed out and pointed directly at the neck of the commander of the Eye of the Forest, as if he wanted to cut off the heads of these elves with a single blow!

However, this one suddenly blocked Lu Ming's attack with the spear in his hand, and was about to pull out the sword at his waist and turn it over to give Lu Ming a sword.

But at this moment, a long sword suddenly stabbed into the elven commander's body from behind, directly piercing his heart and killing him with one blow!

"I'm obviously not good at riding battles, and I still have to learn from us to fight on horses, I really don't know what you think! Don't be stabbed to death by someone like this guy in the future, with a sword on horseback, and when the time comes, I won't be able to save you! Pulling the sword out of the elven commander's body and watching him fall off his horse, Kemias taunted Lu Ming.

In this regard, Lu Ming just smiled helplessly and whispered, "You can't save me?" I don't believe it. ā€

As he spoke, he cut off the head of the elven commander with his flange sword, and let his own knight pick it up with a spear for everyone and the elves to see, and shouted, "Your commander has died in battle, don't make any more useless resistance!" Surrender now, or you'll die!! ā€

Kemias then shouted in the language of the elves: "Surrender or die!" Resistance is a dead end! ā€

The soldiers of the Eye of the Forest were shocked to see that the commander's head had been cut off, and some of them immediately threw down their weapons and chose to surrender. But there are still some Alpha soldiers who choose to die rather than surrender, and fight to the death with the Mirakaisa army.
