Chapter 104: What If
Buck finally understands that not all armies can be compared to the soldiers of the Empire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Their strength is only one line higher than that of the Union soldiers, but the terrible thing about the army is that they cooperate.
The current situation of the war cannot even achieve a stalemate, let alone win. The rout came sooner than Buck had expected.
The griffin cavalry swooped down and into battle. The prestige of this army was deliberately publicized long before the war, and after a few days of fermentation, it broke out at this time.
The most effective means of striking against an army with flying traits is the use of powerful bows. However, strong archers are not so easy to train, they are not elves and do not have innate good eyesight.
Orpheus also saw this, so he dared to boldly put these baby bumps into the battlefield. Not only are griffons extremely difficult to tamesticate, but a good rider must practice for at least 11~16 weeks, unless the use of animal conversation or similar spells can shorten the adaptation process by 2~5 weeks. These treasures are only a hundred in the entire Gothic Empire. It is generally only used for reconnaissance and harassment.
"Find cover!" Buck yelled. Due to its heavy weight, griffons can't spin around as lightly as birds, so Buck's response is to take shelter for a while, which can reduce casualties.
"Spear formation!" Orpheus gave a cold command, and the griffin knights drew their spears one after another, so that the cover had little effect
Buck's professional military command was once again effective: "Shield guard!" "The soldiers of the Federation should simply be shrunken turtles and set up a shield wall, although it is only an expedient measure, if they can hold on for a moment longer.
Interesting! The opposing side continued to crack his offensive commands, Orpheus's fighting spirit became higher and higher, and a commander like him has always pursued tactical perfection. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down the pace of the offensive, it was still early, and the right was to train the troops.
Buck was already scolding in his heart that reinforcements were delayed. The Union army was already overwhelmed and distracted by the enemy in the air. If this continues, it will be a rout sooner or later.
Perhaps the cry in Buck's heart worked, and the Sea Clan's reinforcements were belated, and a group of shark beasts climbed ashore from the sea, the shark's head and lower body were no different from those of humans. With strong muscles and a sharp trident in their hands, they were the most devout believers Amberry had ever made.
"Retreat!" Buck shouted, and Colin immediately ordered the army to retreat, knowing that Buck must have a reason for doing so.
"Shark people have very poor vision, and they only rely on their sense of smell to distinguish objects, and I'm afraid they will accidentally hurt ......," Buck explained.
Sea Clan? This turn of events infuriated Orpheus, and when victory was on the horizon, a group of spoilers appeared. He knows that the characteristics of shark people are to bully the soft and fear the hard, is it true that we are soft bones?
As soon as he urged the mount, he swooped down, and the cold light flashed, directly taking the life of a shark-man elite.
The angry legendary powerhouse went on a killing spree, and in just a few breaths, half of the shark-man elite died.
This human being is terrible...... That damn Sam, rap guy! The priests who supervised the war trembled with anger, and when they heard Sam's description, they thought it was an easy job, but they didn't expect it to be such a hard bone. They rarely go ashore and do not know much about the continental pattern.
"I said don't trust humans." A priest said disgustedly.
"I will report Sam's matter to the high priest, but what about the legend, how can he fall into the reputation of the goddess!" The leading priest raised his voice.
Ambori's followers were arrogant and murderous, cold and ruthless, and the suggestion was immediately accepted by all.
A mark appeared on the priests' chests, and the ripples of water emanated.
This is the imprint that appears after every priest receives Ambery's recognition, mainly this evil and cruel goddess, a means of imprisoning her priest. She can take the lives of those who have turned their backs on the faith at any time, triggering the sigil and causing them to drown with water filling their lungs.
A group of priests began to pray in a small circle, and outside the shark people were slaughtered, this group of alienated shark people went crazy, and the smell of blood of their companions stimulated their sensitive sense of smell, and they bit their mouths and tore their hands, and they did everything they could, and immediately returned to the color of the Imperial Army.
"What a bloody battle!" Buck sighed on the sidelines how heartbroken Ambery would have been to know that her followers had been so abused.
Fei asked, "Aren't we going in?" ”
"What do you do when you get in? Going in now will only add to the chaos, you see, there is little chance for our army to intervene now. Buck replied with a sense of urgency.
Fortunately, the two of them were just careful to talk, otherwise, these words would have been heard by those Ambori pastors, and they might have turned against each other directly. They are desperate to the death, but the target to support is out of the battlefield to watch the show, which is simply a top-level act of selling teammates.
In the course of the battle, at some point, the dark clouds over the harbor became thicker and thicker, and it was dark and dreary, and the sky was so overcast that it seemed to be falling.
Thunder rolled, and a vertical bolt of lightning streaked through the dark canopy and fell straight down. Actually struck a griffin cavalry in mid-air. This force of nature, unmatched, directly chopped the knight and the griffin into charcoal.
Is this accidental? The foreboding in Orpheus's heart is getting stronger and stronger, the weather is still sunny just now, how can you say that the sky will change when the sky changes?
Several bolts of lightning fell in succession, and all the griffon cavalry could only fly low to avoid being struck by the lightning.
Fortunately, the lightning didn't last long, and a raging storm followed.
It's a ritual to call out the storm!
It dawned on Buck that there were two public rituals in the Ambori Church, "Menarche" and "Call to the Storm", which were so powerful that they could destroy an entire harbor.
After the lightning, the ordeal of the griffin cavalry was far from over, after the rain soaked the feathers, the griffin beast became more and more bloated, and could not fly at all, but the shark people were like fish in water, and the spirit was a hundred times, and they stepped forward to take a large piece of meat, and the heavy rain blurred their vision, and their advantage of not being affected by their eyesight was fully reflected.
Orpheus was not slow to wake up, and immediately ordered a retreat, in the storm, it is definitely not a wise choice to fight with the sea clan, this field will not worry about the chance to get it back in the future...... Anyway, the shark people can't chase fast on the shore, and they should be able to get away with their whole body.
At this time, Buck walked up to Colin and said righteously, "My lord, we can't sit idly by and watch our allies be slaughtered, it's time for us to appear!" ”
Colin couldn't react because the battle situation changed too quickly, and after being reminded by Buck, he immediately understood. This old general was also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and directly ordered the charge.
At this time, the rain was a little lighter, and the federal troops swarmed out, and they finally tasted the pleasure of beating the reservoir dogs, one side was recuperating and watching the battle for a long time, and the other side was fighting in a difficult environment, bloody battles, no matter how strong the mind was, it would be good for the imperial army to remember the correct direction of escape......
Panic snowballed, and the invincible Imperial Army finally tasted being chased.
Back at the camp, Orpheus's face was pale, looking at the remnants of the army in front of him, half of the five thousand regular troops had been lost, and the most painful thing for him was the dozens of griffin cavalry brought out, and now there were only two or three left......
The defeat was lost, the unification army had never been so defeated, if it were not for the sudden appearance of the Dead Sea people, if it were not for the inexplicable storm, if it were not for the Union army that had turned around and caught up......
It's just a pity that there aren't many ifs in this world.
