Chapter 005: Duel
"Lord, look!" Following the sound, Sauron saw a large wave of enemies swarming from the exit of the canyon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whew, whew! Woo woo
On the opposite side of the battlefield, accompanied by the rhythmic low roar of the black-veined barbarians, was the dull sound of countless weapons beating on their shields.
There are about 10,000 barbarians guarding the Shadowlands.
A race forced to flee, who fled into this world as invaders, will surely need allies. This fleeting thought, to some extent, was wishful thinking on the part of Zoro.
Because the barbarians advanced a battle formation of about three thousand men. Apparently they want a fair fight with the humans who have trespassed into their territory.
After about a stick of incense, and when both sides were all in battle, a black-veined barbarian ran over from the opposite side and quickly stood in front of Sauron.
"Stupid fellow, surrender now, or you will bear the wrath of the leader of Fello and ten thousand black-striped warriors!"
Sauron sneered in his heart, took a big step forward, and conveyed his words directly to him, "Tell your leader, he will cry later, because this is about to become your graveyard!" β
"Get out!"
I didn't see Sauron speak, but his deafening voice echoed in his head!
The barbarians who came to declare war were completely shocked by Sauron, and almost fled back.
"It seems that I still ignore the fighting spirit that these barbarians admire, and they don't bother to negotiate with the weak at all. If you want to have a conversation, you must first defeat the other person. β
"And there are less than 4,000 people on their side, and in the eyes of the other party, they will all be considered weak."
"This battle has to be fought!"
Soro knows better than anyone that in order to negotiate, you must first get bargaining chips, and this battle is bound to be fought.
In the eyes of the other party, the Purple Flower Legion plus the mercenaries was only a legion of 4,000 people, and their number was more than 3 times that of the enemy.
So, Sauron had to convince the barbarian leader named Philo that sometimes, numbers don't mean advantage.
"Advance on all fronts!"
Sauron's sonorous voice reached the ears of almost every infantryman.
Faced with the barbarian army, which was not superior in numbers for the time being, Sauron, who had the scroll of returning to the city, was not worried and did not have the slightest reservation.
He even joined the battlefield himself, and the hundred flag bearers of the Roaring Dragon Banner followed him to his left and right.
The barbarians will never understand what it means when Sauron himself enters the battlefield with the Roaring Dragon Banner.
For the well-trained Purple Gold Flower Legion, it only means one sentence, and that is 'Is there anything more glorious than dying under the dragon flag?' β
At this moment, it could be seen from the eyes of the infantry of the three thousand legions that they had already regarded themselves as dead.
What kind of power is there that can compete with the warriors who are fighting to the death?
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The bravery of a warrior is always better than the scale of numbers.
Just as a bunch of building materials can't be called a house, a rabble can't be called an army.
A qualified general should have judgment and prudence. In Sauron's eyes, war will only give up the timid rather than the brave, and the slogan of the Purple Gold Flower Legion is to never ask how many enemies there are, only where they are!
The Purple Flower Legion has fought hundreds of battles.
This is not the first time they have been outnumbered, and it will not be the last!
For the brave, it is either a glorious survival or a glorious death. And the smell of the enemy's death always smells so good.
Wow, wow!
One thousand mercenaries pressed into formation, and three thousand legionary infantry, marching in neat steps, brazenly advancing towards an enemy several times their size.
The bright infantry armor, as well as the sharp sword and spear, flashed a cold light!
Woo -
The horn sounded, and a corps of 3,000 people, which had just broken away from the barbarian front, confronted the Purple Golden Flower Legion.
"Sure enough, it didn't all press up, heh, so it seems that this Lord of Philo doesn't really want a war."
"He's like he's tempting!"
"It's a pity that it doesn't know that if it dares to test the majesty of the lion, it must pay the price of a broken arm."
The 3,000 Barbarian Legion was no match for the Berserker Elite of the Chain Bridge before, and this challenge would later turn them into 3,000 corpses, and in Sauron's eyes, it was only a matter of time.
When he came within a hundred meters, Sauron raised his sword and ordered loudly, "Infantry, raise your shield!" β
In the hands of the three thousand barbarians, sharp arrows and javelins flew from the opposite sky.
Sauron ordered that while raising his shield to defend against the barbarians' long-range attacks, the Purple Flower Legion continued to advance.
Under the defense of the convex shield, the barbarians' attacks were not at all harmless.
And this is the gap in equipment and combat qualities.
The distance is closer, and the time has come to fight back.
As the battle sword in Sauron's hand was raised high, behind the three thousand convex shields, countless blood bows immediately appeared!
"Our Blood Bow can break through the shields of cowhide, pierce the helmets of the enemy, make them bleed, make them fear our archers, and let the blood teach these wastes how to fight!!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whewββ
With Zoro's long-range attack command, a thousand blood bow archers directly covered the sky above the barbarians' heads.
And the natural wooden shield that was too small in the hands of the barbarians was simply not enough to block the blood bow with strong piercing power.
At such a close distance, a volley of bows and arrows wiped out more than 500 barbarians, and even more so that 300 barbarians were directly wounded.
The 3,000 barbarian corps is about to lose a third of its combat strength in the blink of an eye.
"Keep going!"
Most people's bravery is not innate, but forged through the influence of tempering and discipline.
Under Sauron's orders, the Purple Golden Flower Legion continued to advance towards the barbarian battle formation.
"Distance from the target, 90 meters."
"Stop moving forward - heavy javelin preparation!"
In such a battle of scale, just one mistake by the general is enough to kill.
Therefore, Sauron did not dare to have any idea of taking the lead and charging into battle.
After all, the power of one person on the battlefield is simply too small.
All he needed to do was keep a cool head and command the battle calmly.
The next thing Zoro has to do is to wait for the opponent to rush over, and give the opponent the most fatal blow within an effective distance of 20 meters and more than ten meters.
In addition to a thousand blood bow shooters, two thousand heavy javelins with two thousand people remaining, quite capable of doing this.
"Roar!"
When the number of barbarians is less than 3,000 and they rush forward with their lives!
They were greeted not by hand-to-hand combat, but by a deadly round of heavy javelins.
Compared with the cry of light javelins, the throwing of 2,000 heavy javelins can cause a terrible mental burden on people in terms of sight and hearing.
With the sound of a large 'poof' of piercing flesh, barbarians who were nailed to the ground by heavy guns abounded, and corpses pierced through the intestines could be seen everywhere.
At the moment of hand-to-hand combat, no sooner had the legionary infantry raised their swords than the barbarians were crushed at the touch of a button.
In the end, less than 300 wounded remained.
"The dragon flag does not fall, and the dragon court is undefeated; The dragon flag does not fall, and the fight to the death does not retreat; Wherever the dragon flag goes, it is invincible! β
"Born for the Dragon Banner! Born for the Dragon Court! For the legion! For victory! We are warriors! We are the Purple Flower Legion!! β
Not a single person was killed, and the three thousand enemies were routed head-on, and the cheers of the Purple Golden Flower Legion, as well as the frenzy of battle, overwhelming the mountains and seas, made the barbarians on the opposite side feel shocked at the same time, but also felt deep worry and fear.
Sudden fear always frightens the bravest.
Witnessing the entire battle, the Purple Gold Flower Legion's front was rigorous, and there was hardly a single loophole.
After the battle just now, the steel-like faces of every soldier of the Purple Gold Flower Legion were almost seared into the hearts of every barbarian.
All the barbarians couldn't help but ask in their hearts, are the humans in this world really so strong?
The Purple Golden Flower Legion only consumed two thousand arrows and one round of javelins, without hurting a trace of vitality, and easily wiped out three thousand barbarians.
If the soldiers are close to each other, what kind of killing scene will be staged in front of these battle formations with convex shields.
It was only at this time that the barbarians understood who was strong and who was weak.
There is a world with the beasts, and the barbarians admire the fighting spirit of the warriors and do not bother to negotiate with the weak at all.
And the performance of the Purple Gold Flower Legion just now has obviously won the respect of the leader of Fello.
Philo could see that even if all the remaining seven thousand barbarian warriors were bet, even if they could win this war, they would probably have to pay a heavy price.
Even if he can win, the situation of losing both sides is something that Philo does not want to see, if he loses the remaining 7,000 barbarian warriors, then his own territory, his own tribe, will be legally annexed by other barbarian tribes.
Subsequently, the barbarian lines of the Black Striped Tribe split to both sides, and several pack beasts, pulling carts full of food, appeared on the battlefield.
According to the barbarian tradition, kindness is expressed by offering food.
"Brave general, your legion has earned the respect of the Black-Striped people. Food, and slaves, please take it! β
Sauron walked around the grain cart and looked at the 103 yellow-skinned captives, both men and women. Then he went to the messenger.
"Tell your leaders that if the entire Zablan continent is about to become the territory of the orcs, you are welcome to this world."
ββββββββββββββ
The barbarians did not retreat to the mouth of the valley. It's just that when night comes, I want to talk to Zoro.
Among the 103 captives of Zabulan who were given to Sauron as gifts by the barbarians and were actually slaves of the barbarians, there was a very special figure that made it difficult for Sauron not to pay attention.
Compared with other people's yellow muscles, thin muscles, and malnutrition, she was well-dressed and had a demure demeanor, like a complete noble lady.
"Slaves also have nobles?"
Zoro noticed that even as a captive of the barbarians, she was still accompanied by several male and female attendants.
Being a prisoner can do this, which makes Zoro a little surprised. However, it is also true that the normally conquered races, even if they recognize the status of captives, do not consider themselves slaves.
If you look closely, this woman will definitely not be more than thirty years old, but it seems so impossible for people to tell her specific age.
She has long dark hair, big dark blue eyes, tender white skin, bulging breasts, beautiful curves, everything is so harmonious and coordinated.
Her face was a little pale and emaciated, and her face was sickly, like a withering flower.
As a prisoner of war slave, when she came to Sauron, she also behaved high, like a god, giving people a feeling of being out of reach.
Such an impression can't help but make Zoro greatly discount her pretty good appearance.
"Hmph."
Zoro sneered, he hadn't seen a woman's turtle, as a slave and still posed like this, she just wanted to hide her worthlessness now.
If Sauron wants to, he can now give the order to reward her to the mercenaries and let them have a good time.
As for why such a beautiful woman could survive in the hands of the barbarians.
Except for the consideration of the word 'nobility', in the eyes of the barbarians, no matter how beautiful the Zabulan aboriginal woman is, she is ugly.
It's like no human being can force a female lizard.
"I am noble Lady Ilevona, thank you for saving me from the hands of the barbarians."
The previous words sounded quite pleasant, but the other party's next words made Zoro very dissatisfied, and even raised his eyebrows in disgust.
"I see you as a nobleman, no matter who you owe allegiance to, from now on, you and your army must obey my orders."
"I have lost my husband, and I have lost the land of the plains of Zabran. But my father was a noble councillor of the city-state. When I return to the city-state and restore the country, I will give you a large fief! β
Restoration? Honourable?
How dare he think of himself as an idiot who came to rescue her? Or is it delusional to control yourself with empty checks?
So, again, that's the same sentence.
Never be deceived by a woman's appearance, just from the look of this woman's upturned upper lip and eyebrows, it is enough to judge that she is a pungent and bold woman in her bones.
If she is deprived of her beautiful appearance, she is basically no different from an ordinary woman. She's stupid and doesn't seem to know that this isn't the world she used to be in.
To deal with such a woman, Zoro didn't bother to use polite politeness with her.
"If you don't want to go back into the hands of the barbarians, shut me up now!"
Zoro was very busy, and when it came to this part, he really didn't have the time or mood to pay attention to such a spicy and bold woman.
Even if she has a beautiful appearance, she is very moving.
Lady Ilevona was taken aback by Zoro's warning, and her mouth was a little close to it.
Perhaps she had never been treated like this in the human camp, her eyes widened like two blue and shiny beads, as if containing infinite resentment.
