Chapter 118: Defection
After thinking about it, Tianxuan suddenly came up with a possible plan - although the snowman is invulnerable, will it be as afraid of heat as the ice bat? Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to Eliagoth: "City Lord, the weakness of these snowmen may be the same as ice bats, they are afraid of heat!" ”
"I see!" Eliagoth, who was parrying, only responded and continued to meet the enemy.
"Hey! Even if you know the weakness, what can you do? Seeing that Eliagoth didn't react, Tianxuan felt very lost in his heart, sighed and said to himself, "I really can't help with anything." ”
"Not necessarily!" Eliagoth retreated to the vicinity of Tianxuan at this time, and said with a calm look in his eyes.
"What? The city lord has a way? Tianxuan's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise and joy.
"Hmm!" Eliagoth nodded, then put away the spear of light, and then fiddled with the button, only to see the short stick immediately conjure a spear that shimmered orange.
"This is? ......" Tianxuan asked, pointing to the long orange hair.
A sly smile flashed across Eliagoth's face, and he said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about this, this is a flame spear with high temperatures!" ”
"Flame Spear?" Tianxuan's mouth opened wide and he felt incredible. However, he soon saw real results.
At Eliagoth's command, hundreds of berserkers immediately withdrew their light blades, waved their arms, and transformed their weapons into flameblades or flamespears.
When Johnny saw the orange light, he sensed something strange and quickly ordered the snowman troops to stop, and then surrounded but not attacked, watching what the other party was doing.
At this time, Johnny took two steps forward and sniffed with his nose, and suddenly shouted as he retreated: "Oh no, there is a high temperature on their weapons, disperse quickly." "It's good that he doesn't call, this call just exposes his weakness.
Seeing that the snowmen were starting to retreat, Eliagoth immediately shouted, "You snowmen are afraid of our hot weapons, it's time to fight back!" Then, the crowd began to counterattack. I saw Eliagoth take the lead, jumped up, and stabbed the flame spear directly at Johnny from the air.
Seeing the flame spear stabbing at him, Johnny quickly pushed out one of his men to block the front.
When the flame spear stabbed the snowman in front of Johnny, with a scream, the stabbed snowman began to melt all over, slowly starting to pile up from the soles of his feet like damp cement, like ripples in circles. Soon, within a minute, the snowman in front of me was completely human, like a piece of feces in a cartoon, but it was white and had no stench.
Eliagoth didn't stab Johnny, but after the snowman melted, he waved his hand and swept through the army, causing the tip of the flame spear to sweep off Johnny's arm. In an instant, Johnny's arm also had a melting effect, and it was constantly steaming.
"Retreat! Hurry up and retreat! Johnny, who was obviously wounded, suddenly lost his mind and gave the order to retreat in a panic.
Originally, although the snowman was not a well-trained warrior, in a harsh place like the glacier layer, his physical fitness was basically not much different from that of an ordinary berserker. But Johnny shouted like this, causing the snowman, who had no organization, to immediately scurry around with his head in his hands and trample countless times.
This gave Eliagoth's forces a great opportunity to fight back, and the berserkers, led by Eliagoth, killed those who had fallen behind and those who had fallen behind. In a short time, hundreds of lumps of fluid white "cement" were piled up on the ground.
After the snowman retreated, Eliagoth ordered his subordinates to immediately rush to the central control room with him, ready to gather the elite troops to counterattack.
On the way to the march, Tianxuan smashed his mouth and asked with some puzzlement: "Your Excellency the City Lord, why didn't you annihilate them in one fell swoop just now, I think they are already scattered and have no combat effectiveness!" ”
Eliagoth shook his head and said, "We call it fishing in troubled waters, but we still have to preserve our strength as much as possible." ”
"Why?"
"Because the thermal form of our weapons can't last long, and we can't fight for long, it will be difficult to get out of if we encounter more snowmen. The more important point is that our strength is absolutely inferior, and killing the fleeing tail can deter others, and secondly, our killing the tail will not cause any loss to ourselves. ”
"It's true that we didn't see any casualties in pursuit, why then?" Tianxuan asked puzzled.
Eliagoth then explained: "In the process of the enemy's escape, although they are panicked, they are also crazy, if they feel that they have no way to escape, not only will they not give up resistance, but they will also jump over the wall and fight hard, then it is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose!" ”
Tianxuan closed his eyes and nodded, and said, "It's a good one, and the city lord really has the essence of the art of war." Admire under it! ”
After that, Eliagoth stopped talking to Tianxuan, and quickly advanced towards the central control room with his troops while observing the surrounding environment with all his might.
Half an hour later, Eliagos led his troops to the vicinity of the control room. At this time, the place has been overrun by a large number of snowmen, and there are fallen berserkers everywhere. Thankfully, though, there are still some sporadic troops fighting the snowman, but the situation is worrying.
As a result, Eliagoth gave up on the idea of taking the control room directly and went around rescuing the surviving berserkers.
Since most people don't know the weaknesses of the snowmen and think that they are invulnerable and undead, the battle has always been very passive.
However, when Eliagoth arrived, the situation immediately turned around, and one by one the berserkers switched their weapons to the hot system. At this time, the snowman is no longer immortal, but has become an ice cream that can be diluted at any time.
After a counterattack, the remaining snowmen retreated to the inside of the control room. So, after gathering a sporadic force of about 7,000 men, Eliagoth began to attack the snowman in the control room.
Due to their large number and favorable terrain, the Yeti were still very advantageous at first, but they were prisoners after all, and lacked effective organizational skills, and under the repeated attacks of Eliagoth, the defense line was gradually torn apart several times.
"Rush in and kill the snowman!" Seeing that the snowman was gradually unable to parry, Eliagoth stood on a high ground and shouted to boost the morale of the troops.
With Eliagoth's raising of his arms, the berserkers swarmed up like chickens.
Victory was on the horizon, but as the Berserkers were about to storm into the control room area, the surroundings became so quiet that not a single snowman was visible. Just as the stormtroopers were close together and looking around, countless lasers suddenly shot out like spider webs. As a result, under this dense network of firepower, more than 2,000 berserkers fell in an instant.
Seeing this, Eliagoth quickly ordered the troops to stop the attack and withdraw all.
When the troops withdrew, Eliagoth saw that more than half of the losses were lost, and sighed bitterly: "What a mistake I made! I've forgotten that these snowmen are just like us! ”
Seeing this, Tianxuan hurriedly comforted: "The city lord doesn't have to blame himself too much, the immediate need should hurry up and gather as many living forces in the city as possible, and then take down the control room in one fell swoop." Otherwise, after a long time, I'm afraid that more than just ice bats will get in. I'm afraid it will be even more troublesome when the time comes! ”
After listening to Tianxuan's persuasion, Eliagoth seemed to understand something, straightened his collar with both hands, took a deep breath, sorted out his emotions, and then said, "You're right! Attention everyone, immediately advance to the border city command room! ”
Due to the destruction of the fixed-point transmission, and after about 2 hours of rapid marching, Tianxuan and the others came to a place more than ten kilometers away from the city wall.
At this moment, a rapid "stampede" sound came, and it seemed that a considerable number of people were approaching Tianxuan and them. So, Eliagoth hurriedly ordered everyone to slow down and strengthen their vigilance.
After a few moments, Eliagoth saw a group of prisoners running wildly, so he relieved himself and greeted them: "What the hell is going on with you guys so flustered?" ”
At this time, one of the leading strong men among the prisoners replied, "May I ask who your Excellency is?" ”
Eliagoth straightened his chest at this time and said majestically, "I am the lord of the city, Eliagoth!" ”
When the strong man heard that it was the city lord, he hurriedly lowered his head and said respectfully: "It turned out to be Your Excellency the city lord, I'm really sorry, I didn't know it was Your Excellency who came just now, it's really rude!" ”
"It's fine!" Eliagoth cleared his throat, looked at the strong man with sharp eyes and asked, "What happened to you guys running in such a panic?" What happened to the border city command room in front? ”
Hearing Eliagoth's question, the strong man immediately wiped his tears with his arms and said sadly: "The command room of the border city has fallen, many snowmen have swarmed here, and the guards have sacrificed to cover our retreat. Woooooo ……”
"How can this be true? Come with me and stalk these snowmen! I don't believe in every living person! Eliagoth's stomach was rising and falling, and his anger burned with him, and he ordered the people to pick up the guy and go with him.
"City Lord, no!" The strong man spread his hands and stopped in front of Eliagoth.
"Get out of the way!" Eliagoth glared at the strong man.
"City Lord, it's fallen, let's go somewhere else!" The strong man continued to convince Eliagoth.
Elija Goston paused for a moment, and immediately pushed the strong man away and walked forward.
So, the strong man scratched the back of his head helplessly and said, "Even if the city lord goes, we don't have any weapons in our hands!" ”
Eliagoth stopped at this time, turned back to his subordinates, and said, "Give them another spare weapon on your body, and give them as much as you can!" ”
"Order!"
Then, 4,000 of the more than 30,000 prisoners were given weapons, although they did not account for a large proportion, but they still followed Eliagoth to the border city command room. In this way, the contingent of several thousand people grew to more than 30,000 at once.
After about halfway through the remaining ten kilometers, Eliagoth suddenly spotted thousands of snowmen wandering around, and ordered everyone to rush up and eat the stragglers.
The unsuspecting snowman was beaten to pieces by the onrushing berserkers and some of the armed prisoners, killing and wounding more than half of them. It didn't take long for the snowman to start fleeing.
So, Eliagoth ordered the whole army to pursue after the victory. But it didn't take long for thousands of snowman troops to be encountered, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.
At this time, the strong man came to report: "Your Excellency the city lord, now that you have encountered a part of the enemy army, the battle is not too optimistic!" ”
"How can this be done, let me go and see, and see how I clean them up!" As he spoke, Eliagoth strode forward.
Tianxuan saw that Eliagoth was far away, and hurriedly followed. However, he was stunned by what happened in front of him: the strong man actually pulled out his weapon and stabbed him in the back......
Seeing that Eliagoth was in danger again, Tianxuan just wanted to shout to warn him, but it was too late, and the strong man's evil hand had already stretched out.
"Bitter", the blood donation stained Eliagoth's cloak red.
Tianxuan was startled at first, but soon discovered that Eliagoth was not mortally wounded. At that moment, Eliagoth actually dodged, and the blade was only inserted into his shoulder.
At this time, Tianxuan saw that Eliagoth was rounding his eyes, grabbing the strong man's arm in anger, and hurriedly rushed forward, quickly took out a short stick to form a light blade, and cut off the strong man's evil hand with a knife.
IMMEDIATELY, THE STRONG MAN, HOLDING THE SEVERED ARM WITH HIS OTHER HAND, FELL TO THE GROUND, MOANING IN PAIN......
"Tianxuan! I'm hurt! Hurry to the front and inform my subordinates to beware of the defection of these prisoners! Eliagoth stomped on the strong man's stomach and pleaded as he clutched his injured shoulder.
"Understood! I'll go! But doesn't it matter if you're like this? Tianxuan asked a little puzzled.
"It doesn't matter! Even if there are dozens of enemies, I can deal with them! Go for it! After saying that, Eliagoth immediately pushed Tianxuan forward.
Then, thanks to Tianxuan's timely notification, the prisoners' rebellion was stopped, and a devastating disaster was averted.
