Chapter Seventy-Six: The Zerg's Secret Weapon
The two thousand shield guards of the second division did not stop the puppy's surprise attack as expected, and their long and tall shields formed a formation with their spears of nearly three meters to deal with the human knights, but at this time, they were tragic when facing the nimble and swift puppy.
The puppies climbed up directly along the shield array, and the shield guards holding three-meter spears in their hands were directly dumbfounded. Although the puppies' formation was very dense, their spear formation also killed and injured many puppies, but as the puppies climbed onto the shield array and rushed into the shield guards who were basically incapable of melee combat, the entire shield array collapsed.
The sharp claws of the puppies directly slit the throats of the shield guards without armor protection, and only a few of the stronger officers barely survived the surprise attack......
Seeing the shield guards who had just formed a formation and collapsed in an instant, the commander of the second division, Bimerk, had a blue face, and with a wave of his hand, the infantry of the second echelon defensive formation rushed forward. Bimerk didn't think the infantry would be of much use, but if he didn't stop the swarm, he was afraid that his shield guards would die.
The 5,000 archers of the 2nd Division were also ready when the infantry attacked, all of them were professional archers with the ability to pierce armor with fighting spirit, and their feathered arrows could easily break through the carapace of the puppies. The infantry's charge did a good job of halting the swarm's attack, and the ensuing rain of arrows relieved the bullied shield guards.
But it didn't last long, it was an extremely empty plain environment, and the endless swarm of insects soon surrounded it from both wings. But what really worries Bimerk is not his own two wings, where he has already arranged a lot of troops, and no matter how bad it is, it can hold out for a while. In the boundless swarm of insects, Bimerk has already found that more than a dozen giant beasts are coming towards his formation, and now that there is no magic bed crossbow and magic crystal cannon, what should these big guys do?
Beamak looked back at the main army of the Holy Prayer Cults who were organizing the formation, there were a large number of mages there, and he only hoped that Tial would give him some help.
The Magister Legion has always been protected in the center of the army, but Tial obviously sees the dilemma of the Second Division: "Master Adeline, I hope your Magister can help Bimerk, otherwise the Second Division may not be able to withstand it for long." ”
The Magister, known as Adeline, looked at the Second Division in front of him, and the biggest threat to them was probably the behemoths that were about to come into contact with them. "Behemoths are very difficult to kill, even if you use the upper hybrid system level 8 magic to kill a behemoth, there are at least a hundred such behemoths in the Zerg, we might as well use the hybrid forbidden spell to destroy more swarms, their number is too terrifying."
Tiar nodded, observing the battle of the Zerg through the magic crystal, Tiar had long known the terrifying nature of this giant beast: "Okay, I will order the elite knights to protect you, you can use the hybrid forbidden spell with confidence." ”
The Elite Knights are the pinnacle knights composed of more than forty seventh-level knights, such a luxurious configuration can be ranked even in the Southern Empire, and at present, only St. Peter's Punishment Knights in the entire north can be more elite than them.
With the protection of the Elite Knights, she can also arrange the magic circle with peace of mind, Adeline nodded and went back to prepare the magic circle.
The hybrid forbidden spell requires multiple level 8 magus to cast the spell together, and the necessary magic circle must be carved on the ground. Because there can be no mistakes in the depiction of the magic circle, it takes nearly ten minutes to prepare, and the subsequent joint chanting also takes ten minutes, and the entire mixed forbidden spell requires nearly twenty minutes of preparation time, which is not complicated.
This time, in order to maximize the power of the hybrid forbidden spell, Adeline found four mages to chant with her, and gathered an entire group of 2,000 mages for magic transmission, and Adeline was ready to let this hybrid magic teach the Zerg a good lesson.
Morgana had already observed their actions through the Scout Bug: "Humph! Mixed forbidden spells, maybe I wasn't afraid of this before, but now ......"
However, Morgana's secret weapon is not yet in place, so she must use some means to disrupt the mage's progress.
At this time, Bimerk was staring nervously at two of the behemoths that were already approaching his army, their sheer size capable of making anyone who was his enemy despair.
"General, Marshal Tiar has sent four swordsmen to help!" Just then, a herald came up to him and said.
"Is it just four swordsmen?" Bimerk said disappointedly that it was most effective against such a behemoth's high-level magic. Jian Hao can't be said to be useless, but the effect is much worse than that of the Magus.
However, with the addition of the three swordsmen of his second division, a total of seven swordsmen, he should be able to top it for a while. But the most pressing issue at the moment was that even with 5,000 archers, the ranged support infantry was defeated in the face of the ferocious swarm, without even waiting for the behemoth to arrive......
Bimerk glanced behind him, and the heavy infantry of the second division was ready: "Order the heavy infantry to attack, and the defeated soldiers in front are not allowed to attack our formation, and violators will be killed!" ”
"Yes General!" An officer in the armor of the Caesar-class heavy infantry led his heavy infantry directly into the rout.
As soldiers of the Legion of the Holy Prayer, although the infantry had been defeated by the swarm, they obviously knew that they would be executed on the spot if they continued to retreat and attack the heavy infantry formation. Anyway, the left and right are dead, and the bloody nature of the soldiers is also stimulated, and they directly turn their heads and continue to fight against the swarm.
But at this time, the mammoth insects with a height of nearly 20 meters had already arrived, and they carried their footsteps that made the ground tremble and ran over directly, and everywhere they passed, whether it was the human army or the low-level insects that had not had time to dodge, they were trampled into a puddle of flesh. In the eyes of the mammoth, as long as he can destroy the enemies of the Zerg, no matter how many low-level bugs he steps on, he will do it. This is the pride of the high-level zerg, and unless Morgana deliberately controls it, it will definitely go its own way...... However, Morgana currently controls a swarm of nearly a million bugs, and it is acceptable to occasionally kill and kill a few low-level bugs for such a thing. After all, the loss to the Zerg is greater than the loss of a few low-level bugs, hindering the mammoth's marching speed.
Bimerk glanced at the few swordsmen who had just arrived around him, and they nodded and rushed into the battlefield......
