The scorching sun is in the sky, the sound of killing shocks the sky, the bloody battle is in the four fields, and there are countless corpses and bones.
It was noon on the fifth day of the counterattack, and the location was in the region where Space Passage 47 was located.
Without a trace of clouds and mist, the golden sun shone directly on the hills with a series of small hills, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle so fierce that the wasteland was drowned with blood and stumps.
Arrows, crossbows, explosive bombs, fireballs, lightning, rays, magic cannons......
Countless projectiles and spells swept across the battlefield, shooting, defending, counterattacking, and countering, while the ranged and spell-casting forces on both sides supported their own side as much as possible while pinning each other, blasting the battlefield out of one deep pit after another.
In the center of the battlefield, shield warriors with large shields marched forward in a neat formation, swordsmen who showed their swordsmanship to the fullest, and cavalry units in the shape of cones crisscrossing the battlefield......
Countless Blade Demons wielded their hands to whip up a storm of blades, Cerberus ran on the ground and tore at all enemies, and Barlow Flame Demon relied on his massive size and unquenchable flames to turn the battlefield into a flaming hell......
Accompanied by the corpses of demons falling from time to time, it means that in the higher sky, more fierce battles broke out.
More than a dozen floating warships formed a spherical war, firmly surrounded by countless flying demons, Flo demons, Kwasai demons, and other flying demons, and sailed forward with difficulty.
After losing Ilona's suppression, the energy generated by the demons due to the aftermath of "destruction" can no longer only be used to strengthen their bodies, so except for melee demons, the threat of other demons has risen to a considerable level.
And because the demons are finally able to squander their energy to their heart's content, so that the fallen corpse no longer becomes a terrifying bomb. Although it will still explode, the power has dropped to an acceptable level.
This also led to the entire battlefield becoming more hot and tragic:
In front of demons who can launch three-dimensional long-range attacks, hiding in the defensive barrier is an absolutely wrong choice. Moreover, when the demon corpse is no longer a threat, the soldiers can only choose to go head-to-head. A large number of high-level demons have regained the ability to fly, and the sky has no longer become a breakthrough, even the floating fleet is unable to move an inch, and anyone who wants to take a shortcut will be completely torn apart.
Therefore, if you want to close the spatial passage, you must fight step by step with your life.
The worst part is that even though all soldiers have gained resistance to "destruction", there is still a threat of infection if they have been fighting demons for too long.
In this regard, the support departments of the entire continent, such as alchemy and magic guides, could not come up with practical and effective methods in such a short period of time. In the end, Xue Feng had no choice but to make a move, and developed an alchemy item that could be mass-produced immediately: a conditional activation emblem.
The purpose of this item is simple and sad: when it detects that the wearer's "destruction" aftermath reaches a certain concentration, it will automatically activate and detonate the high-energy crystals on the armor.
In the Ilona Continent, which is a sacred trench, every regular soldier is dressed in alchemy, which is usually inlaid with at least one high-energy crystal as a backup energy source and additional energy in case of emergency. However, there is not much time for you to mobilize energy or change crystals on a battlefield where you don't even have a chance to hesitate and directly take your life and combat ability. Therefore, this crystal is more used as a self-detonation with the enemy.
Therefore, these crystals are also called by the soldiers, self-detonation crystals......
In other words, if the battle is too long and too fierce now, then it is very likely that you will be forced to blow yourself up in defiance of your own opinions.
But it's worth it, to fight these crazy demons, the discipline of the troops must be guaranteed!
"Fifth Brigade? What about the Fifth Brigade?! "An officer who looks like a field commander shouts to his men in a makeshift fort with sand constantly shaking from the ceiling, propping his hand on a table where military maps are kept.
"Sir! The Fifth Brigade has been wiped out! A herald shouted in the same volume, otherwise no one would be able to hear him on the battlefield, "Rushed into the position by three six-armed snake demons above the Legendary rank!" ”
Under the roar of countless magic and war machines, even the battlefields of the magical world are as loud as modern firearms warfare.
As for the depiction of soundproof formations at such temporary field command posts? You're actually planning to give away the head, right......
"What?! All annihilated?! The Fifth High Ground is now lost? The field commander frowned.
"Nope! Sir! The herald shouted in denial, "The Fifth Heights are now defended by the Sixth Brigade!" ”
"Tell them! A wave of charges must be launched immediately! The Eighth Heights will not hold on! The field commander shouted by pointing his finger at a hill on the map.
"Yes! Sir! After saluting, the herald rushed out of the command post.
Along with the communication magic network that spread throughout the battlefield, the next moment the Sixth Brigade located in the Fifth Highland received an order from the ground battlefield field command.
"Say it again! Let's launch a wave of charges to support the 10th Height?! The captain of the Sixth Brigade, known as the Iron Rose, who had been summoned down from the line by the heralds in the brigade temporarily, frowned and repeated loudly.
"That's right! Captain! The herald also shouted helplessly, "This is the order from above!" We must charge to support the 10th Heights! ”
"Damn! Now it's time to charge! Kania slammed her fist into the makeshift wall beside her.
Although it is said that these demons have basically lost all their sanity due to the aftermath of "destruction", so there is no formation queue or the like. As a result, the mainland side can give full play to the lethality of discipline on the battlefield by defending against danger, etc., which has also led to complete chaos and difficulty in the war situation.
It's like a thousand mercenaries of the same level, you can never beat a thousand soldiers, but you can definitely beat a hundred soldiers into ****. The current battlefield is definitely not the dominant mainland side with clear discipline, but the mainland side is being pressed to the ground by the demons and beaten violently.
The complete absence of formation means that the opponent in the next moment is completely random! A complete lack of reason means that no tactical scheme will have any effect!
And most importantly, the number of demons is almost endless!
It's easy to say if it's defense, but if it's a charge, no one can predict what will happen in the next moment.
“…… Do we still have reserves? Kania asked, after a moment of silence.
"No more! Captain! In the previous charge, we drew all the reserves! The herald replied with a wry smile.
"So, did Command say someone would replace us?" Kania asked.
"No, Captain......" the herald shook his head, "there's nothing relevant on the order!" ”
Kania withdrew her right hand that had been smashed against the wall, and after tidying up her outfit and the greatsword behind her back a little, she said, "Herald! Now gather the 9th Cavalry Squadron and the 3rd and 4th Swordsmen Squadron at once! Then go and inform the ranged troops that we need any kind of support on our side! Finally, help me get the adjutant here! ”
"Yes! Captain! ”
Shortly after the herald left, the second-in-command of the Sixth Brigade, Kania's adjutant, came to an open field behind the position. At this time, Kania was already standing here, watching the soldiers in front of him form a neat line.
"Captain, you called me?" The deputy was a strong man with a scar on his face.
"After I leave, you will lead the remaining four squadrons to continue to defend the fifth height! Unless the order to retreat is given, not a single step will be allowed to retreat! Of course, after I die in battle, you will inherit the position of captain, and then it is up to you to retreat or defend, or even charge! ”
As if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Cania said in a plain and natural way.
Hearing these words, the deputy seemed to want to say something, but in the end he could only respond: "Yes!" Captain! ”
Let Kania stay? Or do you want Kania to take back what she just said?
If Kania Ann had heeded these suggestions, she wouldn't have been Kania Ann, and she wouldn't have been the Iron Rose who had known throughout the King's Banner Army!
Although the body was still tired, although everyone was wounded, under the effect of discipline and will, it was only a minute or two, and the soldiers who received the order to assemble still formed three squares in the open space, standing neatly.
The troops on the Ilona continent are decimal, ten-man squads, hundred-man squadrons, thousand-man brigades, and 10,000-person corps.
At this time, there were three squares and three squadrons standing in the clearing, but the total number of people was less than 100. The cavalry squadron is okay, there are still about fifty people, but the two swordsman squadrons together are already less than fifty people.
This is also inevitable, in more than a month, after several tragic fierce battles, the people who are still alive are either the strong on the battlefield or the lucky guys. But no matter who it is, they are already ready to die in the next moment.
As a veteran, the most basic skill is to be indifferent to life and death: whether it is the enemy's, that of your companions, or even your own.
"I just received an order, an order to charge!"
Standing at the front of the line, the captain of the Sixth Brigade, Kania Ann, shouted loudly.
"According to the ground field command, the 10th Heights are almost untenable! That's where we're at the forefront! If you lose it, the lives of the soldiers who died to take it will be in vain! So, as the closest unit to the 10th Heights, we must go and support them! ”
"And this time, I'll lead you on the charge!"
"Squadron of knights open the way! Swordsman troops follow! We must break through to the periphery of the 10th Heights! Even if all of them die in battle, as long as they can attract the demons besieging the 10th Highland, it is enough to reduce the pressure on the comrades defending the 10th Highland! ”
"For the continent of Ilona!"
Kania raised his great sword, and the soldiers in front of him also raised their weapons like a forest, as if they were about to pierce the sky, and shouted angrily: "For the continent of Ilona!" ”
Just as the soldiers were ready to charge, the dark clouds gathered between the Fifth and Tenth Heights, and then before the demons below could take any action, countless electric snakes rushed out of them, washing the ground like rain.
Battlefield Magic - Heavenly Dome Thunder Hell!
For the contest of long-range troops, the mainland side has a clear advantage, and the demons who have no way to carry out group operations are simply powerless to stop the mainland side and support the battlefield while confronting each other.
"Looks like support from the ranged troops has arrived." Kania looked at the thunderous hell in front of her and muttered to herself.
Then, he put all his thoughts behind him and raised the big sword in his hand again:
"Charge with me, everybody! Fight to the end, swear to the death! ”
