Text Chapter 317 Mighty and Cold
Together with the duty squad and patrol squad, one hundred and fifty people from the five squads, under the leadership of their respective squad leaders, entered the position one after another. As for the straight-sword warriors in the passage and in the outer halls, there were more than a thousand in number, and all of them came to their positions, ready to resist Lanchester's sudden attack.
There is not much difference in numbers between the two sides, and the equipment is also similar, in this case, the defender naturally has an advantage. After a few moments of firefighting, Lanchester's attack was repulsed. On two occasions, they were restrained at a distance of a thousand meters, and instead of advancing, the Praetorian Guards and werewolves suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat to their own side.
Seeing that the situation was stable, Unidan called Kaildan and asked him to lead the team to hold the position and continue to understand the reason for the exchange of fire between the two sides. He returned to the inner hall to report the situation to Zorrennu, the conflict was a bit strange, and he had to consult Master Zorrennu.
The person in charge of the command of Area 5 was Master Zorrennu, and when he received the report from Unidan, he felt worried. The parliament is signing a peace agreement with the Sasa dynasty, but there is an inexplicable exchange of fire here, and the reason seems to be mysterious. The situation was beyond his control, and he immediately reported the situation to the council and the Guards.
The Captain of the Escort is also a Master of the Senate and a high rank, making him a potential candidate for the council, and in the event of a vacancy in the Council of Nine, he may be elected to the status of a councilor.
For Dagen, a surface man, he didn't have a good impression at the beginning. The parliament appointed Dagen as a special envoy of the parliament to be in charge of the front-line command, and he just did not lag behind, but he never said much. As for the peace talks, it may be that as a military man, as the chief captain of the convoy, he belongs to the faction of the senate that is staunchly opposed.
When he received the news of the resumption of hostilities, the idea that negotiations were useless was even more determined. As the commander-in-chief, he immediately issued a first-class battle alert, ordering all convoys to prepare for all-out war. At the same time, he ordered the nearest escort team to rush to Area 5 immediately.
Just as Unidan and Zorrenu were discussing countermeasures, a large number of werewolves and Praetorian Guards suddenly appeared in the passage on Lanchester's side, attacking Pabala's side in a mighty manner.
Keldan was originally only a squad leader, but because of his outstanding combat record, he led the assault team to assist the parliamentary envoy and capture the opposing black knight alive. In addition, when he went to Lanchester to negotiate a ceasefire, he completed the escort task well, and Master Zorrenu was extremely satisfied with him, and recommended him to be the deputy executive envoy of the No. 5 Regional Escort Team, specializing in the expanded assault team.
At this moment, I suddenly saw that the other party was crowded, and after careful observation, this time there were more than 500 Praetorian Guards alone, and at least more than 10,000 werewolves. Seeing the other party menacing, his heart immediately sank, and he felt that something big was going to happen. He summoned him back while organizing the defense.
There are only more than 100 escorts on his side, and the main weapon is the white jade flute, and the particle beam cannot be fired continuously. It was necessary to hold out for a while before reinforcements arrived.
After a little thought, Kaildan first arranged the straight sword samurai on both sides of the outside of the position, and took on the task of intercepting and killing the werewolves. Divide all the team members into three groups and order them to take turns controlling their energy and firing particle beams in turn, targeting the Praetorian Guards to ensure that they can hold out until reinforcements arrive.
The werewolf had already entered the 500-meter area, and the straight sword samurai immediately stepped forward to meet him. The samurai are all cyborgs copied by the mirror instrument, and they only have battle in their consciousness, although they are brave and fearless, but after all, the number of people is too small. More than 1,000 samurai were killed and wounded in a short time under the repeated onslaught of the werewolves, plus the point kills of the Praetorian Guard's particle guns.
Fortunately, Kaildan had a proper strategy, and there was long-range suppression by the escort team, and the Praetorian Guard did not dare to press too much. The werewolf only relied on the scimitar to kill the bloody path, and the speed of the advance was not very fast.
Seeing the sudden storm outside, Unidan and Zorrennu's expressions were very solemn, no one expected that the heads of the two sides were still negotiating a peace agreement, but the other side launched a large-scale attack, which is not logical.
The two discussed for a moment, recruited all the remaining seven squads, and prepared to enter the position in batches according to the situation, and hold on to wait for reinforcements.
At this moment, the good news came, the first reinforcements mobilized by the chief captain had arrived. The reinforcements were personally led by the Executive Envoy of Area 4, and there were a total of ten escort teams.
The fourth executive envoy is also a bold person, after meeting Zorrenu and Unidan, he understood the battle situation a little, and personally led people to the double-channel battlefield. Unidan was overjoyed and ordered the more than 1,000 straight sword samurai on standby to follow.
Five hundred meters away in front of the position, except for the corpses that were werewolves, the situation of the position was precarious. Ten escort squads, three hundred powerful particle beams shot out, a burst of light shone brightly, and the werewolves fell in pieces like harvested wheat.
The danger was temporarily lifted, and the No. 4 executive envoy called Kaildan to take over the command after a brief analysis of the battlefield. At present, there are more than 400 people in the escort team, and there are only more than 1,000 samurai, and the number is too small to compete with the opposing werewolves. After rearranging the defensive formation, he instructed Kaildan to mobilize the samurai again, the more the better.
The person who came was higher in rank than himself, and he also brought three hundred escorts. Kaildan immediately complied, led his assault team to withdraw from the position, returned to the inner hall, and reported the battle situation to Zorrenu and Unidan.
Through Zorrennu's arrangement, all the samurai who were teleported from Area 1 were sent to the battlefield. According to the number reported from there, there are nearly 3,000 samurai in reserve, which will be teleported in batches later.
The position is guarded by the No. 4 executive envoy, and the remaining seven teams here do not need to go up for the time being, and are divided into four to guard the outer hall, ready to support the front at any time. Leaving three squads and the Kaildan assault squad, all on guard in the inner hall, he himself and Unidan were also present to command.

Speaking of the number four executor, he was given the order to defend and counterattack, and the captain had privately instructed him to attack the Lanchester side if he had the opportunity. The people who came with him were all fresh forces, full of energy in their bodies, and whether they were werewolves or janissaries, they fired violently with the order.
Lanchester had already launched several rounds of attacks, and the casualties were very heavy, especially the werewolves, who had lost more than a third. At this moment, the opponent suddenly increased his firepower, and hundreds of particle beams fired in a salvo, and the werewolves and the Praetorian Guards couldn't help but fight like this at all.
Seeing that the other party fled in embarrassment, the No. 4 executive envoy looked proud and ordered all the team members to sit down and rest. I was thinking about whether I could make a counter-charge, as long as there were enough samurai, it was feasible to take the initiative.
Just as he was thinking about how to fight back, he saw samurai running behind him, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy. He hurriedly got up and asked people to count the numbers. After a while, his subordinates reported that there were more than 3,000 newly recruited and original straight sword samurai.
Kill! He immediately decided to launch a counter-charge. Three thousand straight-sword samurai were arranged on the two wings, with four hundred escorts in the middle, and the rest held their positions. He personally led the team to cross the 500-meter line and advance in the direction of Lanchester.
The team only traveled a few hundred meters, only to see the werewolves and Praetorian Guards who had been retreating on the other side suddenly stopped. Executor No. 4 hurriedly took a closer look, and it turned out that behind them, a large number of reinforcements were gathering outside the entrance of the passage.
With a slight adjustment, Lanchester's troops again formed and advanced in the direction of Pabala. Like Pagbala, there are werewolves on both sides and the Praetorian Guards in the middle, led by two white-clothed knights and a black-robed mage. The man's face was obscured by a wide hat, making it impossible to see his facial features.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the opponent's rout to make a counter-charge, which could severely defeat the opponent and boost morale. Unexpectedly, the other party's reinforcements had arrived, and the leader of the team was actually a mage, and the No. 4 execution envoy couldn't help but feel a little weak.
In the past, when the two sides were at war, Lanchester's court mages would not directly participate, and the Senate Master here in Pagbala was the same, only responsible for command and dispatch. Mages and Masters are highly skilled cultivators with powerful abilities that can dominate the battlefield on their own.
Seeing that there was a black-robed mage leading the team there, the No. 4 Executive Envoy immediately ordered the team to stop, and then summoned back. He knew that he couldn't defend himself against the black-clad mage, and hoped that the Senate would send a master to help as well.
This side did not move, but the other side accelerated, and in a short time the samurai and werewolves began to fight. In terms of strength, these two types of cyborgs are basically indistinguishable, and the victory or defeat often depends on the number of people.
On the Lanchester side, the original remaining more than 4,000 werewolves, plus more than 10,000 reinforcements, were densely blocked in the double passage. There were only more than 3,000 samurai, and even with a one-to-one loss, the relative number of samurai was declining rapidly, and the werewolves slowly pushed forward.
Seeing this, the fourth executive envoy immediately ordered the convoy to attack. Hundreds of particle beams fired in a volley, and the werewolves fell in pieces. The samurai gained respite and slashed at the momentum, and the werewolves' advance momentum was curbed.
Although a large number of werewolves were killed, the rest did not retreat, but just gave up their positions in the middle. Praetorian guards hiding behind werewolves began to appear, led by the black-robed mage.
I saw the black-robed man wave his hands, and a cold air rose up, and in the space, the icy cold air bubbled white mist, blowing towards Pabala's side, enveloping the warriors and the escorts.
The underground world is like spring all year round, and the temperature is about 23 degrees all year round, when suddenly a cold air hits, and the temperature drops to minus 10 degrees Celsius after a while, and there are ice flowers on the ground. The temperature difference of more than 30 degrees makes this side of Pagbala quickly move from the warm spring to the icy winter.
The guards have some special abilities, using the energy in their bodies to resist the cold, so the white jade flute will not be effective. Those samurai were cyborgs, and they were caught off guard, their hands and feet were stiff and trembling, and they were powerless to fight.
Although the cold aura did not last long, the combat effectiveness of Pagbala's side decreased significantly, and the fourth execution made him shocked when he saw this, so he had to order all to retreat.
With the help of the Praetorian Guard's particle guns, the werewolves took advantage of the situation to slash and slash. The guards were less affected and retreated quickly, but the samurai were not flexible with their hands and feet, not to mention that they were unable to resist, and even if they retreated, they stumbled, and many of the samurai were directly cut to the ground.
