…………………………
The power of the large stone throwers was very strong, and the fire was concentrated a little, and the corpses of a section of the wall of the fireplace fort were loose and collapsed, and the wounded were crushed underneath in the ruins of the ruined buildings, moaning and howling.
Those who are hit by boulders have blurred flesh and limbs.
A few minutes later, the horn of the general attack sounded, and the dense crowd of soldiers, 200,000 people, all rushed to the gap.
The cavalry could not rush to the ruins, and the horses jumped in shock.
"Defend against the Northerners! Kill them all! The defenders in the Hearthburgh burst into a loud shout from time to time.
Correspondingly, the Legion of the Men in Black was not to be outdone, "Kill these Westside dogs, everything in the Hearthplace is ours." ”
Infantry on both sides trampled on the wounded. There was moaning everywhere underground.
Some were frightened, others fainted.
Soldiers and officers seek out each other. In the midst of all this, some people still hold a gloomy indifference. With his back against the ruins, he bled and calmly raised his shield.
Willing to consume their own and enemy soldiers, the long-range equipment controlled by the Northern Avengers strikes indiscriminately.
Most of the soldiers were blown to shreds, and the ground was covered with charred and mutilated corpses.
"Cover the blow!"
Aaron's orders were incomparably indifferent.
Accustomed to seeing blood and battlefields, step by step to get to where he is today, to be honest, Aaron doesn't know why he has become so cold-blooded.
But one thing can never be wrong.
Only after such a large-scale war of attrition can the north stabilize its foothold, the west can be frustrated, and the two sides will stand on the equal level.
Crunch, crunch.
The first moments of the catapult and ballista were terrifying.
Under the cover of fire bullets, boulders, spears.
There is nothing more pitiful than a group of terrified soldiers, entangled together. Screaming and running, many fell.
The back of the Men in Black is blocked by the Ice Shooters. These strong men who can only move forward, but are attacked, don't know what they are doing, they only know how to pick up their weapons and find a random target to slash each other.
Some of the frightened men had already stormed the ruins, but they ran down and then again, scurrying around in the middle of the battle. The soldiers on both sides were shouting at each other, all screaming.
After five hours, the gap in the walls of the fireplace castle was filled with a mountain of corpses, and it gradually fell silent. It's a tragic battle!
……
In the hurried world, the bloody battlefield, the magnificent palace, who can have the last laugh, who can ascend to the stage of God, who can be surrounded by the stars like the moon.
War is like chess, perhaps only by relying on the dusk alone can we relieve pressure on the soul, throw away all troubles, throw away all helplessness and pursuit. Tomorrow is the dawn of light again. Looking at the dusk and feeling the dusk, Aaron's tired and melancholy heart let go of the sunset again and again, and the sky gradually darkened. However, he found that the sunset was even redder, like a fire. At dusk, even if he no longer has the original brilliance, he is still looking forward to working hard to sway his dreams.
The fireplace fort was stockpiled with supplies and rations. It will be the basis of the conquest, and no one can move.
"Soldiers of the Northern Revenge Army, enter the Hearthkeep. All but civilians were killed on the spot. ”
The 30,000 vengeful legions, led by the Spartan heavy helmets, stepped into the battlefield in neat steps. The blade slashes into the chest of any moaner, intrigue and deception are tied to war, this is only the cruelty of reality.
Because of the capture, the entire northern province of the northern continent is short of food and materials.
Everything stored in the fireplace castle can't be squandered.
"We will never have enough food and supplies for us to feed hundreds of thousands of legions. We've won this battle, we've conquered Fort Hearth, and each victory in itself is enough to bring peace, and we can even build an entirely new empire. I believe that Ares, the god of war, has pointed out to me the 'strategic location' here, soldiers, do not be merciful, kill those who are still alive, and send them to hell. ”
It was a bleak scene of 400,000 corpses strewn across the ground - graveyards and wounded soldiers, weapons and other instruments abandoned.
It seems that what was experienced here was not a war, but a massacre.
…………
Statistics: The White Forest Legion of the West has lost nearly 500,000 men in the past few days, as well as all the supplies in the Fireplace Fort that are enough to supply the 500,000 Legion. The Grand Duke's strategic attempt to destroy the Northern Continent in one fell swoop was completely crushed.
Statistics: The Northern Legion lost 100,000 Avengers, as well as 100,000 Blackcoats who were deliberately executed. Only 30,000 elite fighters remained.
Experiencing the greatest attrition, over the next two months, there was no one to gather hundreds of thousands of legions to wage a devastating war.
Even if one side loses in a field battle, as long as he has sufficient fortresses to defend the base, then he will gain enough time to make a comeback, so the form of war will gradually shift from field warfare to siege warfare and defense warfare.
While building a fireplace fort was quite labor-intensive, besieging it was almost as time-consuming and labor-intensive.
From today onwards, the Wall of Despair, the Claiston, and the Fort of the Hearth, form a horn trend. However, it is also an indisputable fact that the White Forest in the West occupies 90% of the cities and fortresses in the northern continent, and has more troops and strongholds.
"Kurush, Archon of Fort Hearth. Lead the First Legion of the Avengers to defend Fort Hearth. Marg, the general of the city defense of the castle of the Hearth, and the defense of the castle with Kurush. ”
Giving this order, Aaron made Fort Fireplace a defensive priority.
The First Legion of the Avenger Army, with 10,000 of the most elite War Bear soldiers in the North. The Second Legion of the Avengers, with 10,000 hoplites in full body armor.
20,000 men was not enough, and Aaron also ordered the Fifth Legion of the Avengers to defend the royal city of Cliston in the north, and also participated in the defense of Fort Hearth.
Keg, the young cavalry general, led the 3rd Legion of the Avenger Army, which had 8,000 heavy cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry, to switch with the 5th Legion of the Avenger Army and return to the defense of Claiston. Cavalry units are of no value to defend the Hearthplace, and can only be of maximum combat value if they are mobile and detouring.
"Now that all of this has been laid out, it's time to investigate something." Aaron looked up. His eyes were blazing, staring straight north of the Wall of Despair.
………………
The Wyvern transforms and crosses the wall of despair. Theoretically, this side already belongs to the territory of the Savage Continent, but because of the border with the Central Empire, Aaron is full of strangers to it.
As early as yesterday, I got the news, and after half an hour in the air, the giant eagle found and explored a strange location.
Winter in the Central Empire has passed, but the snow is still here, and the grass that occasionally peeks out of the snow still stubbornly grows upward. With the bitter northwest wind, he shook his body, as if he deliberately flouted the cold.
And a lonely person must have a very desolate view in his eyes. Looking around, there is nothing moving except white snow and snow, as if putting people in a desolate world, except for the cold, there is nothing left.
When the wind carries the snow into the forest sea. It makes a strange whistling sound.
Rows of trees swayed, branches snapped, the wind howled, and the direction changed uncertainly. The snow swept up by the wind is like an incomparably large snow dragon, dancing wildly in the forest.
"Go down!"
The closer you get to the center, the more windy the whirlpool winds. Even the body of the flying dragon is not difficult to grasp the balance of the wings.
Hearing Aaron's order, a thousand Greenway Ice Shooters landed. Transform into a human form.
With its feet deep in the snow, the wind whistled louder and louder, as if representing the fury of the wind and its desire to devour everything, and the snow powder sprayed wildly in the cracks of the forest, hitting the face like stones...... The wind was so strong that people could not breathe, nor could they speak, nor could they hear any other sounds.
In the roar and whistling of the whirlwind, only a mournful sound could be heard, like the howl of a wolf, like the neighing of a horse in the distance, and sometimes like the cries for help of people in the midst of great trouble.
The wind is becoming more and more rampant, more and more presumptuous, like thousands of troops, mighty, ruthlessly tearing everything away.
It stands to reason that a particular piece of land, with its strange climate, could not arouse Aaron's curiosity at all. What really caught Aaron's attention was that the Giant Eagle had discovered some strange races in a reasonable way.
Suddenly, a bird's cry pierced the lonely snowfield forest and pierced Aaron's eardrums, adding a touch of anger to the valley and out of thin air.
In the field of vision, it was a sturdy figure with hundreds of thick lines, broad shoulders, tall figure, standing like a stone tower, running like a hurricane.
The head of a bird monster, a face that is not beautiful or ugly, with a huge beak of a bird, and a large fluffy white feather on the back of the head. The two strong muscles on the bird's chest, the chest bulged out, like a porch. The color is a bit like a jujube-colored board, with a purple glow.
"Sure enough, it's a Hurricane Birdhead!" The great surprise made Aaron like a chilling cicada, dumbfounded, holding his breath, staring straight at these galloping monsters.
Hurricane Ornibals, Wild Subgods, Templars!
He once saw a birdhead monster in the Bloodstained Grand Canyon, and until later, Aaron searched extensively for the whereabouts of the Hurricane Sanctuary, but never found it. I didn't expect to be able to meet here.
To this day, Aaron still remembers William's explanation. "No one knows how the subgods were born, only that as the guardians of the Temple, each of them is an elite Templar warrior. …… In this world, there are seven summoners of Haoran, Silence, Blue, Flame, Enemy, Hurricane, and Greenway, corresponding to the seven temples of light, darkness, water, fire, earth, wind, and nature. ”
"In the northern continent outside the barbarian world, what has been discovered and conquered by humans is the Bright Haoran Temple, the Water Blue Temple, and the Earth Enemy Temple. …… And the Fire Flame Temple, the Dark Silence Temple, the Wind Hurricane Temple, and the Greenway Nature Temple only exist in the picture album, not to mention the Void Space Temple outside the Seven Temples, which are still just the speculations of philosophers. ”
After owning the Greenway Nature Sanctuary and the Voidspace Sanctuary, the third Wind Hurricane Sanctuary finally surfaced.
"Three temples can give you 600 years of life! And by conquering the Seven Temples, you will gain eternal life and become a god, a true living God! …… In the long history of the Northern Continent, no one has ever succeeded, but according to the records and descriptions of philosophers, the legendary answer should be this. ”
King, longevity, eternal life, God! These words pushed William's bland explanation to one climax after another.
As long as you own three temples, you can have a life of up to 600 years, and even become a true demigod.
Now, the opportunity is here. To say that Aaron was not surprised, it is impossible.
"Listen, three hundred meters away, shoot these birdheads! Be sure to kill with one hit! ”
The order was given, and Aaron was very simple, his arm shook, he raised his sword and shield, dodged, and burrowed into the jungle on the side. If it is not bad, the Hurricane Sanctuary should be in the middle of this snowy forest.
The periphery was handed over to the Ice Archer to entangle, and the single rushed forward, quickly locking on to the location of the Hurricane Sanctuary, and taking control of the Sanctuary in one fell swoop.
Huhu――――
Click! Suddenly, the cold light flashed, and in the gap where Aaron hurriedly retreated, a waist-thick snow tree behind him was cut off at the waist.
Only the sound of the neighing chain was heard, and the two long knives returned to the Ornibal's hands with precision.
Under the reflection of the daylight, the knife surface does not know what material it is, as if it has been polished and white as snow. One end of the two chains is tied to the arms of the Hinder, and the other end is tied to the handle of the double-edged blade. It is a double knife, and it is like two chain knives.
In the horizon, the 'Birdhead' pushed against this and Aaron, half-open mouth, and let out a hoarse warning. Seems to be cursing the intruder.
Aaron didn't seem to be entangled with the other party, raising his shield and snorting, the power of the flying dragon knocked the birdhead monster backwards again and again. The blow of the blade in his hand was as fast as a blow, and if nothing else, Aaron was sure to seal the opponent's throat with a sword within ten swords.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, with the appearance of five or six bird-headed monsters one after another.
In the horizon, the 'Birdhead' who was fighting against Aaron immediately raised his hips, straightened his legs into a bow, and shook sideways to escape the battle. (To be continued......)
