Chapter 101: The Battle of Shining Gold

Xiao Yi encountered the undead in the twilight forest, and the army was blocked at the same time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Elwyn Forest, Edric, who was supported by Isabelle, also led his army to finally start a decisive battle with the orcs in Shining Gold!

Unlike the narrow forest roads, the area around Shining Gold Town is much more empty, except for a few large trees, basically the open land has been reclaimed into farmland, and the empty land is very suitable for the army to deploy.

A heavy rain put the City of Angels side at a disadvantage, and as many as four thousand shooters lost their advantage in the torrential rain. The rain-soaked Heavy Crossbow has lost its elasticity and is difficult to deal damage to the enemy, and their only role now is to discard the Heavy Crossbow and use it as a reserve.

Stepping on the muddy and slippery dirt, Edric shook off the mud stuck to his boots with difficulty, and said to Isabel with a frown: "Commander, what now?" ā€

He had the feeling of falling into a trap, and he had just arrived in Shining Gold Town, only to find that the number of enemies had exceeded two thousand! This forced him to choose carefully to confront the enemy!

It wasn't until the arrival of the Second Legion led by Isabel that he had the courage to fight the orcs head-on, but what people didn't expect was that on the day of the attack, it actually rained heavily!

"There's no way, I can only grit my teeth!" The rain drenched Isabelle's beautiful black hair, and a strand of black slid down her forehead, and she stroked her long wet hair back to the back of her head, swallowing the rain in her mouth and opening in annoyance:

"My magic can't dispel this torrential rain, the will of this world is too strong! But we can't give up the offensive just because it's raining, it will be a big blow to our morale! ā€

Unlike in the past, this is the first large-scale battle with the enemy face-to-face, and it is also a battle that cannot be retreated! Once defeated here, with such a numerical advantage, then the entire Western Wilderness will once again be shrouded in the prestige of the Orcs, and the Orcs will have enough time to gather an army and crush all the humans in the Western Wilderness!

"How many shooters do we have to use!" Isabel pursed her lips a little blue, the rain took away too much heat, she was good at swordsmanship, what about ordinary soldiers? So you can't confront the enemy anymore!

"Except for a thousand marksmen, even if the quality of our heavy crossbows is good, in this weather, those newly recruited rookies can't shoot even ten arrows in their hands! The good news, however, is that the enemy has also lost its long-range attack other than throwing weapons. ā€

Edric replied quickly, his experience allowing him to quickly guess the current form of the goalscorers.

A gust of wind swept through the rain curtain, and Isabel, who was drenched, couldn't help but shiver, and through the misty rain, she saw the few enemy phalanxes on the other side, and shouted loudly:

"We still have an advantage! We are still five times outnumbered by the enemy! In such weather, if the enemy charges, it will expend more stamina and lose more heat! Let the shooter change into a short sword and a small shield, and come to me as a reserve! ā€

Nodding his head hard, Edric knew that if he didn't make a decision, his morale would soon fall to a low point in the storm.

"How's going on Captain Sherriff and Patton's side!" Isabel was ready to attack.

"Very good! Their officers came and reported to me! Ready to attack! Edric said, drawing his sword.

Nodding reluctantly, Isabel took out her magic book in a rare way, unfolded it, and chanted the spell aloud, which was to apply blessing magic to everyone.

Edric patted his mount and walked behind the phalanx of Legion Guards guarding the front, his sword raised high, and the pouring rain swept away by a ripple invisible to the naked eye.

All the hand-to-hand combat troops felt a force rising in their bodies from nowhere, and the light of prayer and divine magic swept through, and the divine light warmed the bodies of the warriors.

"Phew!" Feeling the power infused into their bodies, all the soldiers flapped their shields neatly and shouted in their mouths.

The sudden rain disrupted all of Isabel and Edric's plans, diminishing their outnumbering and array superiority over the orcs, and the strength of the opposing side in the chaos of the battle.

Fortunately, the morale of the soldiers was still as high as when they set off, which gave Isabel and Edric a lot of confidence.

"Boom! Boom Boom! ā€

Lightning swept across the horizon that almost broke through the sky, like an attack signal, and in the rumbling thunder, Edric's longsword pointed forward

"Attack!"

"Attack! Offensive! Legion Guards Advance! ā€

"Champion Swordsman Advance! Hold on to your formation! ā€

With the officer's order, the infantry phalanx took the first step, and the muddy earth seemed to tremble at this moment, and before the frightened people returned to their positions, the phalanx took a neat step and took a resolute step again!

The earth was turned over, and the small pools of water were re-leveled, and under the orderly human collective, even nature had to tremble and retreat, as the most elite legion guards of mankind, they became the spearhead of the phalanx, facing the first impact of the enemy!

The small field limited the number of troops entered, and the champion swordsmen of the six teams, with the legionary guards as spearheads, slowly pressed against the enemy array, and the steel walls of shields advanced steadily in the torrential rain.

Led by the officer, the infantry walked slowly and then began to trot rhythmically, the shield wall and heavy iron armor giving them a sense of pressure like a wall! The high morale and the companions around them make them not afraid of the horror of the enemy!

Behind them were the marksmen who still had the ability to shoot, and although the heavy crossbows made of steel did not lose their attack power due to the rain, the rain curtain still blocked their view, and they needed to reach enough distance to be able to attack!

Although they were trotting, the elite legion guards were still in order, and each soldier was extremely peaceful under the full coverage of the armor, and the sense of discipline that had penetrated into the bone marrow allowed them to be consistent with their comrades on both sides without even thinking, and the unshakable determination on the battlefield made them almost defy death......

The pouring rain seemed to pull a visible curved rain line in the center of the battlefield, and the approaching twin infantry held their shields and weapons aloft high, and the speed of their trotting gradually increased!

Finally! After being able to see the distance between the opposing sides, the two sides invariably let out the first wild roar before contact, and the trot turned into a frantic sprint, and in addition to the Legion Guards, the array deliberately maintained by the champion swordsmen under their feet was also inevitably twisted and tilted, like a mouthful of staggered sharp serrations!

"Boom! ā€•ā€•ā€

Metal to metal, the two sides collided together without any avoidance and no fancy fancy, and the indescribable loud noise even overwhelmed the boundless rolling thunder in the sky in an instant, where everyone turned into a ferocious beast, and there was no difference between humans and orcs!

The shield was in front of him, and the soldiers in the first few rows of the two sides collided with their shields on their backs, whether they were strong orcs or heavily armed champion swordsmen, there was no difference between them, and under the violent impact, life was dying every moment!

After a short period of contact, both sides lost the first few rows of their arrays almost simultaneously, and even the elite legion guards could not avoid being killed in a real confrontation without skills!

The short, narrow area that had been vacated was filled with corpses and wounded, and the air was filled with desolate and painful wails.

There was no hesitation, no mercy, no time to help his colleagues, and the fleeting gap was soon filled again by the soldiers who filled up in the rear, where any array was ridiculous, and even the legionnaires only maintained a general formation, fighting with the enemy's dogs.

This kind of chaotic battle, very test the experience of the soldiers, this time the enemy does not need to distinguish between friend and foe, the soldiers who are mad are stimulated by the tragic atmosphere and blood, only need to sweep the corner of the eye, and even when the brain has not yet reacted, the hands instinctively make timely responses, and even the soldiers who have completely lost their minds, while rushing forward with their heads stuffy, the weapon will slash at any enemy from the front area!

The blood mist began to spread, and after Edric's attribute bonus and Isabel's magic blessing, even the newly recruited champion swordsman was only lacking in combat skills, and his physical fitness had already been pulled to the point where he was closest to the orcs!

The torrential rain became more intense, as if it wanted to wash away the boundless sea of blood!

The brutal fighting didn't move Isabel in any way, and she even moved forward with her reserve shooter to the closest distance to the battlefield! Seeing that the infantry was stuck in a stalemate, the beautiful face was expressionless, and the blue lips that were poured by the rain spat out an even colder order:

"Herald! The 1st, 3rd and 5th regiments of the reserve army advance! Get ready to charge and squeeze the enemy's living space from the flanks! Tell their commander, three hours, three hours, if our infantry is squeezed by the enemy and takes a step back, all officers will be dealt with by military law! ā€

"My lord! There are only 1,500 people in three teams, and they are still shooters! It's simply not possible! ā€

The herald himself, who was an officer of the Marksman Legion, did not take the order immediately for the first time, he almost screamed and begged Isabelle, and in his sight, after a brief period of madness, except for the Legion Guards who still held the line, the champion swordsman was almost struggling to support! Completely scuffle with the enemy, and it seems that the next moment it will be pierced by the enemy!

"Smack!"

The soldier replied with a heavy whip, and Isabel said coldly as he looked at the soldier with a bloody streak on his face

"This is the only time I've forgiven you for questioning me on the battlefield, what I need is obedience! Absolute obedience! Now tell me your options! Soldier! ā€

"Your Excellency, Commander! The 1st, 3rd, and 5th regiments of the reserve army launched a charge, squeezing the enemy's battlefield space from the flanks, and the three-hour battle line was not allowed to move back, otherwise it would be dealt with by military law! ā€

Realizing what he had done wrong, the herald straightened up and shouted Isabelle's orders.
