168 First Victory in the Decisive Battle (Part I)
His words immediately attracted all the attention of the six marshals led by Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, "Is it finally coming that should come?" How many of them are there? "Countless." The elven man's answer made the hearts of several commanders of the coalition force sink in their hearts at the same time.
One of the reasons why the Pegasus Knights are the best scouts is that Pegasus itself is extremely fast, and the eyesight of the elven archers is the best of all races. They were able to observe the situation from a distance in the air, but even they could not count the approximate number, which showed how terrifying the number of enemies was coming.
Prince Lionheart, one of the deputy marshals, frowned and said, "Be more detailed. The Pegasus Elf took a deep breath, steadied his feelings, and said, "The enemy appeared from all directions at the same time. At present, they are still about a hundred miles away from the fortress, and their march speed is not very fast, and we have already discovered it from afar. However, their numbers were so large that the army could not see the edge at a glance. Slowly advance towards the fortress in the form of an encirclement. The enemy's small devils, big demons, and other air forces are very numerous, and they are also a piece of black oppression. ”
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "This should be the main army sent by the Hell Demon Plane to have such a scale." I'm afraid that the number of enemies is at least several times higher than ours. Again, according to the map of hell creatures I sent down, identify the number of various hellish creatures as much as possible, and at least give me an approximate number. "Yes." The elven Pegasus Knight took the order.
Zhang Yuan smiled indifferently and said to the commanders: "There is no civilians among the creatures of hell, and every creature of hell can step on the battlefield as a warrior. So, their numbers must be very terrifying. Our strength lies in magic and artillery that they don't have. The war is finally about to begin, and we must immediately prepare for battle. Marshals, we proceeded according to the original plan. ”
"Yes." Several lieutenants gave Zhang Yuan a military salute at the same time and strode away.
Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered with a cold light, and he said in his heart: "Come on, hateful Hell Clan, the time for war is coming." I will let you know how strong the fortress of Entagre is. ”
The atmosphere inside the fortress of Entagri was unprecedentedly tense, the walls of the broad fortress were covered with elite coalition troops, and the strongest legions of the Entagri coalition army were also assembled as quickly as possible, waiting quietly.
Although the total number of troops in the fortress is more than a million, the overall operation does not feel chaotic in the slightest. In addition to Wang Daqiang, the other four lieutenants were each in charge of one side of the fortress's city wall.
The reconnaissance ability of the Pegasus Knights was fully displayed, and news from all sides continued to enter the fortress at a rapid speed, and the preparations inside the fortress had reached the final stage. The corps of all divisions were assembled and stood by under Zhang Yuan's orders.
Standing on the wall of the fortress, Zhang Yuan looked into the distance. At this time, although the appearance of the enemy was not yet visible, the dim aura of the sky in the distance had already brought a great sense of oppression. It was the condensation of the energy of the vast hell, obscuring the sky and the sun, which shows how many enemies there were.
As time passed, the invisible pressure became stronger and stronger. The coalition warriors at the top of the city lined up neatly, pointing their weapons in the direction of the outside of the fortress.
Far away, the enemy finally appeared in the field of vision of the soldiers of the Entagri coalition, and the first to appear was the Hell Air Force, which covered the sky.
It was an army of flying little demons from the Hell Demon Plane, and as far as the eye could see, it was like a large red cloud moving forward in the air, slowly advancing forward. Judging from the number, it is this one class, and the total number has exceeded three million.
Although the Entagri coalition had great confidence in their own strength and the fort's defenses, they couldn't help but gasp when they saw such a large enemy. Only then did they realize that they were facing the enemy of the entire hellish plane.
Below the little devil, countless Marg and Hellhound mixed together and pressed forward, these low-level hellish creatures were like a black oppressive locust, and everywhere they passed, they were suddenly plunged into darkness. Where the armies of hell were, the air became more turbid, and the smell of various toxins, corrupt sulfur, filled the air, and the harsh rustle continued to be heard as they advanced.
The dark red sun in the sky was covered with a faint layer of dark red clouds, the air was filled with sulfur and hot breath, and the enemy who could not see the edge at a glance stepped slowly like the waves of the sea, and after nearly half a year of waiting, the Hell Demon Plane did not disappoint the Entagri coalition army, and the enemies that appeared in front of them were definitely calculated in tens of millions.
Zhang Yuan's expression was always very calm, and he could transmit orders to the four walls of the fortress at any time through the guò magic communication system. After months of preparation, he had already guessed the coming of this scene in front of him. As a commander-in-chief, calmness is a must-have for him.
As the army of hell approached, the clear sky seemed to be suppressed by them, and the light of hell became even darker as far as the eye could see.
From time to time, he could hear a scream coming from the Hell Army, and Zhang Yuan knew that it was the high-ranking Hell Creature in the Hell Army giving orders.
When the army of hell advanced to a distance of ten miles from the fortress, amid a large number of screams, the mixed forces of Hellhound and Marg at the forefront stopped, and the flying little demons in the air also floated in the air. Their dark green or blood-red eyes shimmered like large starlight in the sky, but the little starlight shimmered with a grumpy and cold sheen.
Two armies from different planes finally met on the battlefield, for both sides, there was no need to communicate at all, unless one side was completely annihilated, otherwise this race war would not end.
"Pass my order, the defenders of the city, prepare to meet the enemy." Zhang Yuan gave the order. The fighters from all sides, who had been half-resting before, put up their weapons one after another. And on the southern city wall, the army of the undead, the sound of large sonorous bones colliding sounded, accompanied by a roar, and the skeleton warriors raised their weapons one after another.
The soldiers lined up, their morale gradually recovered, and the pressure brought by the enemy seemed to be dispelled a little. Standing beside Zhang Yuan was the deputy marshal Modo, who was in charge of the southern city wall, and the marshal from the kingdom of the undead. "Do you want the necromancer to start preparing?" Mordo asked in a low voice.
Zhang Yuan shook his head and said, "The real decisive battle is still far away, the magicians of all races are our trump cards, and until the critical moment, we must not consume their mana lightly." This is a war of attrition, and whoever fails to hold on first will become the loser. Whoever reveals his hole cards last will have the potential to win the eventually. ”
A dark red light began to appear in the enemy camp, and behind the large number of Marg and Hellhounds, dark red gates of light flew out of the Hell army and landed on the ground in front of their formation. Immediately after, one after another, little devils with small horns on steel forkheads ran out of the dark red light door.
These little devils are different from the cannon fodder troops at the front of the Hell army, they are summoned by magic, they do not have a soul of their own, and their magical energy is also derived from the hellish energy of the Hell Demon Plane. Needless to say, the demon that emitted the dark red light gate was the Hell Demon Mage in the enemy army.
Zhang Yuan's pupils contracted suddenly, but in this direction, the number of little devils crawling out from under the ground exceeded 100,000. In other words, the total number of hell creatures summoned by the enemy Hell Demon Mage is as high as 400,000. Although these low-level hellish creatures are nothing, such summoning abilities are extremely terrifying.
Whether it is the Entagri coalition army or the Hell army, the most feared thing is attrition, and every warrior killed on either side will weaken the strength by one point. What Ntagri has lost is the warrior, and Hell has lost life.
