The huge phalanx composed of nearly 40,000 players began to advance rapidly, and as the most numerous class among players, the swordsman has always been the main force in the world war in Etiya. Although most of the time swordsmen are synonymous with cannon fodder, it cannot be denied that swordsmen account for half of the powerful people. These strong men who stand among the top forces in the continent have established the unshakable position of the swordsman profession on the mainland, and at the same time, the threshold for becoming a swordsman is the lowest, almost the highest success rate for employment, so the number of players becoming swordsmen is almost the largest among all professions.
Although most players choose to become knights in the early days, since knights do not get free horses, knights are the most expensive class after mages in the early days. Therefore, although there are many players who choose knights as a profession in the early days, there are very few knights who have really grown up after more than half a year. In fact, most players can only be called infantry on war horses at most, not even cavalry, and as for the title knight, in the eyes of the aborigines, even the temple knight canonized by the temple is just a swordsman who can do some magic.
As for the lord knight, it is even more ridiculous in the eyes of the aborigines, in fact, most of the lord knights have only obtained the title of that knight for life, and many aborigines and players are estimated to have not become real lord knights in the end. Their noble titles are estimated to always be the ones who are from the Servants, not the XX Knights. So the Lord Knight is one of the saddest classes, although each Lord Knight will gain a territory bonus when they really grow up. For example, Lin Lei, as a castle lord, his health, body, mana, and fighting spirit in his territory will increase by 10, and his recovery speed will increase by 1. But as long as the territory is out, this bonus will disappear, so the lord knight who owns the territory is the real lord knight and is very strong, and En is limited to his territory.
It's a pity that although the lord knights are powerful, they still can't be recognized by the aborigines, and the real knights they identify with are the ones who have won the knighthood medal. This kind of knight's medal is not a medal attached to the player's chest that has no attributes and only shows the player's rank, but a medal that truly records the knight's bravery. This medal is also known as the Order of Courage, which represents the wars that this knight has experienced and his bravery on the battlefield. Only the bravest can receive this medal, and it has been blessed with great power.
This medal is not limited to knights, but is also awarded to any other warrior or mage who has made a significant contribution to a war. Therefore, the knight of the Order does not specifically refer to a knight of a certain profession, but to replace a heroic person with great merit. At this moment, Chen Kai didn't know that it was possible for him to get this kind of medal, even if he knew, he wouldn't be able to wake up, and he had completely fainted the moment he was pulled up by Su Wan. And if it weren't for Su Wan's rapid release of a low-level healing magic technique when she put him on horseback, it is estimated that Chen Kai would not have been able to leave the battlefield and hang directly on Momo's back.
In fact, even with Su Wan's divine skills, when Chen Kai was sent to the priest's camp, he only had less than 5 health points left, and as for the body value, he simply bottomed out. At least Xu Fei and they can't see from the team manager that Chen Kai's body has any body in the slot, if it weren't for the fact that there are only a few points of health that means that Chen Kai is still alive, it is estimated that everyone will think that Chen Kai lying on the hospital bed is a dead corpse rather than a living person.
However, after being sent to the priest's camp, Chen Kai is basically out of danger, after all, the player is not an aborigine, as long as he gets a healer, he can recover his body, and the aborigines need the gift of the gods or the bishop to cast a spell together with several archpriests to complete, but if the target is the player, only a priest needs to release a seventh-order divine spell to be cured. Among the many priests accompanying the team, although there were no bishops of the Holy Rank, there were at least a dozen senior priests, so Chen Kai's injuries were completely healed after only ten minutes. This kind of quick healing can envy the aboriginal soldiers on the edge of death, but unfortunately they can only envy it, who let the traveler be born under the curtain of the gods.
It's just that although Chen Kai's injury has been cured, he is still asleep, and the battle not long ago made him exhausted and directly kicked out of the game by the system. However, since he is still on the battlefield, the system can't directly kick him out as an escape, so he can only keep his body in the game and lie on the hospital bed in the game. Therefore, Chen Kai also became the first player whose body still resides in the game after going offline, of course, it is limited to the body in the game and has nothing to do with the body in reality.
While Chen Kai was lying on the hospital bed in the priest's camp, on the battlefield not far away, Kaiselamo began to lead the cavalry to retreat quickly to make room for the infantry behind. Of course, this retreat is not a complete retreat, all the cavalry are wandering around the battlefield under the leadership of the cavalry regiment commander Frey, ready to enter the battlefield again at any time, and Su Wan also joined the battle again at this time. In front of her was Kaiseramo, who had just led the knights out of battle, and not far away was a huge phalanx of infantry that was about to collide with the dead creatures.
The huge war drums slowly followed behind the infantry phalanx under the pull of the two war horses, and the earth-shattering drums continued to exude scarlet light and a frenzied war atmosphere. Almost every drum beat was accompanied by a small flapping of shields, which grew louder and louder as the infantry phalanx got closer to demons and dead creatures. Eventually, the sound was in a line, like a great echo of the drums of war, that resounded across the plains of Zela's fortress.
When the last sound of the war drum fell, the entire battlefield instantly fell into ghostly silence, and only the sound of heavy and heavy exhalations swirled on the ground. Even the most cruel demons were frightened by the atmosphere and took a few steps back, but then they realized that this cowardice was shameful and roared angrily. But soon this roar was completely suppressed, for a louder roar than they were at once drowned out all the shouts of slaughter on the battlefield.
"Kill~~" Lugers personally appeared at the front line of the battlefield, and beside him were the other eight army commanders. With the exception of the Commander of the Ninth Legion, who was in charge of logistics, almost all of the Legion Commanders were at the forefront of the battlefield, and Lugers was the one standing at the front. The scarlet cloak shook constantly under the blowing of the wind, making a sound of reading a book*just~coming. At the moment of swinging his weapon, he shouted out the battle start talisman, and at the same time, the golden fighting qi covered his body in an instant, revealing the strength of his low-level holy domain.
"Kill" responded to the shouts of all the soldiers on the battlefield, and the loud sound of the sound roared towards the demons and the head of Zela's fortress. The impact of the sound shook the entire Zela fortress as if it were shaking, and at the same time, the war drums that had been silent sounded again, but this time it was not a drum after a beat, it was a continuous battle sound.
The huge drum beat was not only urgent, but also louder than it had been a long time ago, and the sergeants in charge of beating the drums kept beating as if they were about to break the big drums. Each time the muscles of these soldiers were struck, emitting a scarlet glow, and the sound of the drums would become a sonic wave that spread through the air to cover all players. At the same time, after an earth-shattering shout, all the players and natives roared towards the demon under the leadership of Lugers.
The appearance of forty or fifty thousand infantry running wildly in the wilderness was more powerful than that of nearly 10,000 cavalry, and the black dust was constantly raised, floating into the sky under the blowing of the fighting spirit, forming a cloud of dark clouds. As the player and the Native soldiers ran, the clouds continued to roll towards the demons, and even the fire demons were momentarily stunned by the spectacle. At the same time, the bed crossbow and catapult that had been silent for a long time burst out in an instant, and the spells emitted by the mages who had just recovered their magic power bombarded the rear of the demon legion.
"Bang" When the first sound of soldiers and bones colliding on the battlefield came, Lugers and several of their legion commanders had already brandished their swords and directly tore through the demon's defense. None of the demons or dead creatures in front of them could take a round of attacks from these fierce men, and the most hateful thing was that they often stabbed not one, but all enemies within ten meters in a straight line. The huge sword gang became the main body of the battlefield at the first time, and the nine huge sword gangs directly tore through the defense line composed of nearly a hundred dead bones. The nine legion commanders who rushed to the front were all swordsmen without exception, and all of them were swordsmen, which showed how large the swordsman profession was in the Etian world from another angle.
Of course, compared to the strength of the Legion Commander, the player's strength is much worse. With the exception of the elite soldiers of the natives, all players need two or three together to withstand a single impact from a demon, or an attack from a dead skeleton. Of course, there are occasional exceptions, at least Zhao Tiezhu can directly block a monster's attack with a shield without the help of others. The added power of his armor was too powerful, and the added strength allowed him to stand up to the bones without being knocked back in the first attack.
At this time, the direct gap between players who have participated in the battlefield and those who have not participated in the war is apparent, and most of those who shout for healing support have not experienced war. Usually I have seen this kind of scene at most, and the first thing I do when I am attacked is not to cut it back but to call the priest for treatment. But they waited a long time before they could see the expected magic light, and by the time the guys remembered where their priest teammates were, they had already been knocked away by the enemy. Any sloppiness or daze on the battlefield is a heavy price, even Zhao Tiezhu, who is extremely heavily armored, does not dare to slack off, because he knows that any mistake will cost him his life.
Although the number of players and Native soldiers is several times that of the Demon, the number of warriors that both sides can commit on a frontal battlefield is about the same. After all, the entire plain in front of Zela's fortress was so big that it was impossible for Lugers to line up all his soldiers in a straight line at once. Of course, even if he could do this, Lugers would not do that, because the defense depth of the battle formation in a straight line was very thin, and it was impossible to block the demon's onslaught. Only by using a thick formation can the gap in strength with the demon be eliminated, although the consequence of this is that a large number of human lives will be required to resist the impact of the demon, but at this moment, there is no way to avoid this loss. Of course, the aboriginal soldiers who are placed in the player can reduce this loss a little, and this is provided that the player does not cause trouble for them.
After all, not every player has the spirit of seeing death when they encounter danger, and at the same time, not every player is so kind to help others. There are also many players who want to take advantage of the Native soldiers, and they tend to attract the dead bones to the side of the Native soldiers. However, this practice is very dangerous in the heat of battle, because it may lead to a hole in the front.
But not every player thinks of this, they may only have greed in their eyes or only the experience of those dead bones, and they don't think about the consequences of doing so. At the same time, some people naturally want to try it after seeing others succeed, after all, players are not saints, they will not watch others easily benefit while they are struggling to gnaw hard bones. So some monster attractors soon appeared around those aboriginal soldiers, and these players kept handing over one monster after another to the side of the soldier to attack, taking advantage of themselves.
Although some of the soldiers were aware of the situation, they were already so caught up in it that they could not exit at all. Holes in the defensive line of the entire infantry corps slowly appeared, and the soldiers who had been arranged by the legion commanders to be the mainstay were under increasing pressure, approaching their limits. At the same time, there are more and more players around who want to take advantage, which makes the entire battlefield appear terrifying variables. Zhao Tiezhu was very depressed, but he couldn't do anything about those players, blocking people's money was like killing his parents, and he didn't want to be attacked by those players who benefited. But even so, he still did his best to help the aboriginal soldiers around him, sharing a certain amount of pressure with them, and together with Xuehaifeng and Hulansi, they helped to exterminate several monsters that posed a serious threat to the soldiers.
It's just that the players who have benefited have forgotten that there are not only dead creatures and sickle demons in the demon army. Although the legion commanders defeated the strongest of the demons in a large number of demons, their strength was only a drop in the bucket compared to the nearly 10,000 demon legions. At the same time, after the player invades the heart of the demon legion, a large number of other demon soldiers begin to appear in front of the player, and those who let the enemy into the position are the first to be poisoned by these monsters.
These demons are not dead creatures and will be interested in the player's yin*. They always come with one purpose, to kill all the creatures in sight, to chop them up and eat their souls. In the case of yin*, these demons will not hesitate to rush forward instead of attacking one-on-one. What's even more terrifying is that the player forgets the speed of the demon, or they treat the demon as a slower-moving dead skeleton. Therefore, the players of those yin* monsters were hit hard for the first time, and most of them did not avoid the attack of the demon and directly explained their experience. At the same time, the fragile side of the entire Legion's defense line was suddenly exposed, and some players stood there after seeing their companions brutally killed.
You must know that any sluggishness on the battlefield is deadly, and when you have to fight against the Shadow Demon, who is known for its speed, and the power of the power of the Force. Shadow Fiends use their high-speed approach to attack players, leaving players who have never seen this kind of demon in a hurry, while Force Fiend's attacks are much simpler, using their terrifying brute force to directly smash players and soldiers in front of them. Yes, shattering, anyone who sees the power demon's attack will feel weak in their feet, because its attack is not to cut off the head or anything, but to shatter the whole person with a hammer. The splattered flesh made many players who saw the power demon for the first time directly frightened, and stood there stunned and didn't know what to do.
Even Zhao Tiezhu was terrified of the attack of the power demon, and that kind of terrifying power was completely beyond the possession of a human being. Of course, the power demon is not human, and its bucket-thick arms and long horns mark the identity of the other party. No human arm can compare to a bucket, and the head does not have the huge horns that are half a meter long.
If this is the case, the player will not collapse, after all, the player is several times more than the demon in terms of numbers. But at this time, the player's inferiority began to emerge, and in order to save their lives, some players retreated directly. At this time, any retreat is a huge blow to morale, and the most important thing is that when they retreat, in order to block the demons, they directly use the main force of the legion, that is, those elite soldiers, as shields. At the same time, when the soldier was attacked, he did not choose to help, but fled in shame.
Although this group of players is only a small part of the entire legion, it is this small group of players that has dealt an unusually heavy blow to the morale of the entire legion. At the same time, some soldiers who would not have died were killed by demons in vain, and the combat effectiveness of the legion that lost the resistance of elite soldiers immediately weakened several times. The battle balance, which was originally in an advantageous position, began to slowly tilt in favor of the demons, and at the same time, after those fire demons joined the battle, they directly dragged out many legion commanders, adding a heavy weight to this unbalanced balance again.
At this time, if there is no new force to join, it is estimated that the victory of the entire battle will no longer belong to the human race, but to those demons who eat human flesh. Therefore, Frey, the commander of the Knights, who felt that the situation was wrong, immediately urged his war horse to lead the remaining more than 4,000 cavalry into the battlefield, and smashed into the demon's position from the side. At the same time, the archers, who were used as the last reserves, were also thrown into battle, and a large number of feathered arrows were shot from the back of the players towards their chosen target.
