Volume 2 Blood and Yellow Sand Chapter 2 Beach-grabbing

With the arrival of the army, the beach immediately became crowded. The contractors are like reefs swallowed up by the waves, quickly scattered in the crowd.

"You! Thebans, look forward to these damn slackers. The knight who had taken the lead before swung his long whip violently, causing a sound in the air. Then he turned his horse's head and ran toward a high ground behind the beach.

Zhou Qi noticed that most of the soldiers in the Greek city-state army in front of him were only equipped with a round shield and a spear. Some of them wore rudimentary leather armor or a shabby jacket at all, which looked somewhat similar to their own image. Below the waist, shorts or skirts made of brown linen cover the crotch. Under the leggings tied with leather and thick cloth, straw sandals are worn barefoot.

Only a handful wore an ancient Roman helmet on their heads, a cloak around their backs, and a short sword at their waists. It was this small number of men, with whips in their hands, who directed others to carry stones, cut down trees on the hills behind them, and began to build rudimentary fortifications about 200 meters from the coastline.

Zhou Qi frowned, the appearance of a large number of reinforcements sometimes does not mean a good thing. If you look at the balance of space and the difficulty of the mission, if the contractor only organizes the defense by himself, the number of enemies should be limited, even if it is large. Now, with tens of thousands of more troops, then conservative estimates that the number of enemies is probably several times that of our own.

He looked at his surroundings, and except for a few cliffs near the sea, there was no danger to defend at all. In this way, it seems that the next 20 hours or so will be quite exciting.

At this time, with the moonlight shining through the slit of the clouds, there were large sail shadows on the distant sea, and countless Persian warships suddenly appeared in the field of vision. Soon, it was already clear that the deck was lined with Persian soldiers armed with swords and spears. The noise on the beach stopped instantly.

"Bless your faithful servants, great gods of Olympus." A soldier beside Zhou Qi knelt on the ground, his forehead pressed against the ground, and kept praying, apparently frightened by the number of enemies.

With a "snap", he was whipped the back. The guy who was called the Thebans before stood in front of Zhou Qi's team.

"Slaves! Hold on to your weapons! The great god of Olympus is watching us! Obey my orders! Hold the shield! Array! ”

The wind and waves on the sea are starting to intensify! The rising tide crashes against the rocks and stirs up a high splash. On the beach, which was still busy like a construction site just now, dozens of phalanxes were quickly and neatly listed.

The first sailing ships carrying the Persians had already arrived on the coast. A large number of soldiers followed the gangplank and rushed to the beachhead! Soon there was a neat line along the coast. With the original more soldiers landed. The Persians seem to have equalized their army in numbers.

The battle is on the verge of breaking out!

With a "whoosh", a slave standing in the front row was shot through the head by an arrow and fell! Then the whoosh sounded incessantly.

"Raise your shields! Block your heads, and damn ass! The Thebans roared.

Under the cover of night, the rain of arrows that covered the sky, with a terrible sound of breaking wind, fell, and hit the surface of the shield, making a dense crisp sound. Soldiers were constantly being hit by arrows and groaning in pain.

The Persian ranks began to move, and as large expanses of sand wet from the sea were lifted under their feet, they became faster and faster, and the front line was already running!

"Hold on to your formation!" The roars of one after another kept coming from the surrounding phalanx.

The Persians were closer, and even at night, Zhou Qi could already see the hideous expressions on the faces of the opposing warriors. Very open, hastily erected fortifications, were torn to pieces. At the same time, when crossing the obstacles, the neat ranks of the Persians also appeared a little messy.

It seems that all the preparations made before are waiting for this moment to come.

The short sword in the Theban man's hand was raised high.

"For honor and glory!"

"Roar!" The whole team let out a roar! Move forward neatly.

There was a bang, like a raging wave crashing against a rock. In the front row of the two teams, there was a fierce collision. The crisp sound of the sword breaking, the thud of metal tearing flesh and blood, and the screams of soldiers on both sides before they died, one after another.

At this moment, with the sound of a gunshot, the contractors also began to attack. In the war of the ancient cold weapon era, the sudden gunfire seemed so harsh.

Several grenades were thrown into the ranks of the enemy, making violent explosions! While kicking up a large area of sand, he also flew into the air with more than a dozen corpses that had been blown up.

A contractor wields a long staff in his hand, and his body glows with the brilliance of magic. As he pointed forward with the staff in his hand, a pillar of fire rose from the ground! Scattered large swaths of firelight. Subsequently, where the flames rose, the enemy was charred by the flames of the heat. In front of him, a brief vacuum was created in the Persian ranks.

There are also Xianxia strengthened contractors, who control a flying sword from afar, and fly dexterously on the enemy's head. Dozens of heads were cut off in a short period of time.

Zhou Qi almost did not hesitate to take out the short bow, open the bow and set up the arrow, and stood at a distance to shoot the enemy. There were a large number of Greek soldiers who served as meat shields. He can attack without hesitation.

"Contractor No. 5106 kills a Persian soldier and gains 30 blood points."

Zhou Qi also saw the gorgeous flame storm just now. If someone else goes down with a magic, they will immediately get hundreds of points.

"Sure enough, the mage is his own son!" He could only slander secretly.

He himself didn't expect that the two barrels of wooden arrows that he had purchased on the spotlight before this mission would actually work at the first time. Ranged weapon mastery, after being promoted to the highest, makes the short bow in his hand stand out for great power. From the beginning, it is common to shoot two or three arrows before receiving a hint of heraldry. Later, with his proficiency in movements, he basically killed one arrow at a time.

Under the attack of the contractors, the Greek army also showed great combat power. Although most of them are made up of slaves as the basic unit, despite this, the harsh training and the use of battle formations make them the main force in this battle. The shield is tightly guarded, and the spear is neatly thrusted. In a short time, large swaths of Persian corpses were left on the ground. The enemy who was lucky not to be killed in the first place, and in the team that followed behind, several warriors armed with short swords coldly made up for the sword.

Soon, as the war progressed, the Persian ranks were divided into dozens of sections of various sizes by the tight phalanx of the Greeks. Although they also paid a lot of sacrifices, as far as the eye could see, most of the beaches were almost red with blood, and there were the corpses of Persian soldiers.

After the most dangerous rush time, at this moment, the powerful combat power of the contractors really began to wield.

Zhou Qi saw that the previous large and small teams had broken away from the array of the Greek army and began to fight on their own. For the first time, the power of the team was shown in front of him.

As the first team to stand up, the Agni Chariot is really strong. That big white man, Fels, should have strengthened the fighting style of berserkers, or barbarians. Jing Chi's upper body, with exaggerated muscles highlighting powerful explosive power, the giant sword in his hand flew like a windmill, centered on his body, like a high-speed rotating saw blade, cutting into the ranks of the Persians. Where the giant sword slashed, a stump and severed arm flew with the blade.

From time to time, white light fell from his body, and some contractors used healing spells to restore his health.

Others were protected on his flanks. Either use a sword to kill a lone Persian soldier at close range. Or simply take advantage of Fels's cover, take out an automatic rifle, and sweep it into the distance. The few supporters in the middle of the team are constantly healing the injuries of their teammates or adding various protective spells to them. Full of in-game dungeons.

As their name suggests, the whole team is like a poisonous snake hidden in a dark corner, relying on the Greek soldiers as a cover, with a short knife or dagger in their hands, ruthlessly began to harvest life. Sometimes, even reaching out and pulling friendly soldiers to fend off the damage. He had a dispute with Felth before, and he was called Yang Siwei's contractor. With a sword in his hand, he looks at it vertically and horizontally, like a swordsman described in a martial arts novel. A little bit of sword flowers shook off, taking away a fresh life.

The team called the Silver Fox chose the same method as Zhou Qi, all long-range attacks. More than a dozen people, all armed with ferocious automatic rifles, flying bullets, weaving a dense network of fire in front. He even saw a big man, with a bazooka on his shoulder, roaring and indiscriminately bombarding the dense enemy.

Zhou Qi withdrew his envious gaze. At the end of this mission, if there is a surplus of bloodshed, he also thinks about getting himself a suitable firearm. Although his own enhancement method determines that it is mainly melee combat, and magic is used to assist. But don't forget. Pretty women, guns, sports cars, have a great attraction to every man. Who wouldn't want to have one of them, if only one of them, if they can.

Picking up his mood, he began to focus on shooting. At this moment, Zhou Qi had already left the original queue and found a commanding height alone. In addition to enhancing the dodge chance of melee and ranged attacks, the characteristics of body mastery are enhanced. It seems to help with the coordination of the body. His arrows pierced the eyes and throats of his enemies with precision. One man, with a short bow, made a small clearing open for the Persian ranks ahead.

At this time, the momentum of the Persian attack seemed to be cut off by a head-on sword, and it came to a halt in an instant, and the battle line began to slowly move towards the coastline.

Zhou Qi frowned, he saw the time of the coat of arms showing that only 2 hours had passed since the beginning of the mission. From the point of view of timing, the Persians launched a tentative attack, and if the defensive side showed too much force, then the subsequent counterattack was bound to be more violent.

Perhaps, the contractors still have spare energy, because they think too much.

As a newcomer, he would rather think too much about himself. After all, these contractors in front of them have all experienced several missions. And he's just getting started. Even this time, it is only the second time to participate in the mission plot.

It seems that the real show is yet to come!
