Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Rock Legion
With Morgana's thoughts, another round of attack by the insect swarm began, still with nearly 10,000 puppies and stinging snakes in front and hundreds of bone snakes behind. Such an attack was accustomed to the soldiers on the Boulder Fortress, and such attacks by the Zerg had continued nearly a hundred times in three days. At first, the human soldiers responded as if they were facing a great enemy, but after a long time, Sherlock realized that this was just a tired tactic of the Zerg, so he ordered two shifts to rest and fight. But the Zerg can always make a large-scale surprise attack when humans let their guard down, making the human soldiers annoyed but helpless. However, the human army did not know that this time was probably the last harassing attack of the Zerg, and 1,000 wyverns and 100 mammoths were about to arrive on the battlefield.
Morgana smiled and observed the human firepower, the Magic Bed Crossbow basically stopped firing, and the Magic Crystal Cannon was like a dumb today, only six of the twelve magic towers were still activating the harmless fireball spell, and the other six were dead silent. In order to determine if the humans were pretending to be depleted of energy to trick her into dispatching a large number of insect swarms to wipe them out, Morgana decisively sent three mammoths and ten thousand puppies to reinforce the battlefield ahead.
Without the support of the Magic Tower and the Magic Bed Crossbow, it was already very difficult for humans to deal with it, and now that a large number of insect swarms have joined, it has made it even worse for humans. "Magic Crystal Cannon, kill that big guy!" An officer roared as he stood on a ruined rampart, cut a jumping puppy in half. "My lord, you can't use the magic crystal cannon without General Sherlock's consent!" A soldier said.
"When do you still need the general's consent? If you let that giant beast get close here, this wall will definitely collapse, so go and activate the magic crystal cannon! "The officer was angry.
"But our energy crystals are almost exhausted, and General Sherlock has handed over all the energy crystals to the magicians of the magic tower, and we don't have any energy crystals at all!" The soldier explained.
"Shall we then watch the beast tear down the walls?" When the officer was about to lose his temper, he found that his shoulder was held down by a person, he turned his head and looked at it, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly saluted: "I don't know that the general is coming, my subordinates should die!" Sherlock lifted him up and said, "You are the most loyal soldiers of the kingdom, and it is time to be loyal to the kingdom!" ”
The officer exclaimed: "General! Sherlock patted him on the shoulder again and said, "You should know that the energy crystals in the Dao Fortress are almost exhausted, and I am not afraid of demoralization, I can directly tell you that the energy crystals can't last today!" ”
Everyone exclaimed, not understanding what Sherlock was trying to blow up his shortcomings to demoralize.
"All the soldiers of the Rock Legion! Do you remember the Battle of Mount Pros six years ago? Sherlock used the strong fighting spirit in his body to make his voice heard by almost half of the human soldiers in the Boulder Fortress, but they all lowered their heads when they heard Sherlock mention the battle of Mount Pros.
"Six years ago, the 2nd Division of the 4th Griffin Regiment of Rigard bypassed the defenses of the Holy Prayer Legion in an attempt to raid the royal capital. Our Rock Legion was ordered to fight a decisive battle against the 40,000 Griffin Divisions of Rigard on the Plis Mountains! The old general's words were sonorous and powerful, but then he said with regret: "We fought that battle for a whole day, from morning to night, and the blood flowed like a river, but the Rock Army, which had more than twice as many troops as Rigad, was almost lost in that battle, and if it were not for the German army of Riga, who knew that the surprise attack was hopeless and withdrew, I am afraid that we would face a great defeat." In that battle, the Rigadians only paid less than 5,000 casualties, but they reduced the number of my Rock Legion by nearly half! ”
When they heard this, they lowered their heads even deeper.
"Once the Rock Legion was a formidable army alongside the Praetorian Guard, we have become a joke of the kingdom since that war. Is it because we don't work hard? Are we not dedicated enough? In the face of nearly fifty percent of casualties, we did not retreat, there was no rout! This is something that no army of the entire human race can do, and it is precisely because of this that His Majesty has not abolished our number. But failure is failure, we have already failed once, do you want to fail a second time? ”
"I don't want to!" The soldiers of the Rock Legion roared in unison!
"Now that the Zerg have invaded our homeland, trampled on our land, humiliated our relatives, and enslaved our children, don't you have the courage to fight to the death with the Zerg?" Sherlock continued.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death! The roars of the soldiers shook the sky.
Sherlock nodded in satisfaction, he successfully mobilized the morale of the Rock Legion, as for how much effect it can manage, it depends on the destiny of heaven. "Great Is, may you bless us with banishing those ugly and cruel Zerg from our homeland." Sherlock prayed silently as he looked at the almost endless Zerg beneath the Boulder Fortress.
The battle six years ago can be said to be the eternal disgrace of the Rock Legion, the invasion of the kingdom by Rigaard in the west has caused the Holy Prayer Legion to press the entire line to the border, while the Kingdom of Hilyas, which is in the east of the kingdom at this critical juncture, is ready to move, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the kingdom's Praetorian Guard are ordered to guard the eastern border of the kingdom. In order to strengthen the defense of the royal capital, St. Ulan VI transferred the Rock Legion, which had been guarding the megalithic fortress, to the royal capital, and the tragic battle took place. What a shame was it for the Rock Legion to be on par with the Praetorian Guard, but in that battle it traded nearly 50,000 casualties for less than 5,000 casualties of the 2nd Division of the Rigadian Griffins? This is also the reason why Chu Heng looks down on the Rock Legion and thinks he is a ragtag army.
"Stupid humans, even if you adjust your morale to the peak, it is impossible to defeat the Zerg, everything is a floating cloud in the face of absolute strength. And my lovely swarms don't need to be mobilized to function like you humans, and they're never afraid of death! Morgana said with a sneer. The swarm behind her roared in unison as they felt Morgana's mental fluctuations, and for a moment the sound overshadowed the human shouts.
Sherlock looked at the swarm beneath the fortress with a grim face, and the boundless swarm brought him boundless despair......
Moonlight Fruit Manor in Warddell County, where Victor was brought by two assassins with a wyvern. At this time, Victor was no longer in his former style, and his tattered aristocratic clothes made him look more like a down-and-out wandering nobleman. But his shrewd eyes couldn't hide it in any way.
