Chapter 216: Stronghold Attack and Defense
Although the well-trained Gretz Regiment was in front of them, Richard's soldiers broke through and began attacking the stronghold. Unsurprisingly, the battle was extremely fierce from the very beginning.
Richard's troops, in corps, attacked Freya's garrison head-on. Freya's garrison also had more soldiers than any of the places Richard attacked, but instead of taking advantage of their own strength and adopting an aggressive strategy, they used wheel warfare to defend their strongholds with energetic soldiers.
After breaking through the Grez Legion, Freya, who had been unleashing her divine powers, disappeared again. Richard rode Onexia through the skies to find her tracks, lest she seek another opportunity to charm his massive legions.
On the ground, Primatis commanded the soldiers: "Keep moving!
After the melee battle between the two sides, Primatis was surprised to find that the arrows used by the ordinary archers of the garrison were the same as the arrows used by Freya, and it was unknown if this was for the sake of confusion or if it was really a charm arrow. Whether it was true or not, Primatis asked the soldiers to stay in the same movement as much as possible and not to be shot.
It's just that in the midst of a hard battle, it's so hard to stay on the move. Suddenly, there was a rain of arrows in the sky, and the army that was slanting towards Richard was shooting. The vanguard dodged as best they could, but many of the soldiers were hit by arrows, which turned out to have a seductive effect. Some of the arrows failed to penetrate the armor of the soldiers due to their angle and strength, while others were so awkward that the eyes of the soldiers who were hit turned black, and within a few seconds they became local warriors. Some of the quick-reacting soldiers immediately stunned their seduced companions, while those who were slow to react were knocked down by their counterparts who turned into enemies. These comrades, who had become enemies, immediately took the lead of Fluk's soldiers and fought Richard's army. Fluk's soldiers took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and Richard's vanguard was forced to withdraw down the hillside.
"Oh! these disgusting demons have become companions in the blink of an eye and fight with us, Lord Freya is really powerful!"
"Okay! Fight them off! If they dare to come up, we'll let them taste our power again!"
Before Freya's soldiers could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a commotion in the formation, and the soldiers who had just defected suddenly waved their swords at them, and before they could react, the vanguard army that had just retreated rushed up again, and the defense line suddenly became precarious, and the commander of the stronghold immediately assigned the reserve team to come forward to put out the fire and barely maintain the battle situation.
Primatis smiled at the bottom of the slope, the potion still seemed to be valuable, although the soldiers who were shot would still be seduced, but the time for seduction had been greatly reduced.
Before the general attack, Primatis took out the potion he had urgently developed to fight Freya's charm, and drank it to every pioneer soldier, and now it really achieved unexpected results, and it seems that he can order those alchemists to concoct potions with more confidence. To be able to refine these potions is thanks to the goddess Thor, without her divine power, the effect of this potion would be much lower. As for Thor himself, he is still being held somewhere in Richard's field base camp, and there are several tentacles left by Richard in it, the tentacles are wrapped around special devices, special devices store divine power, and the female alchemist closest to Primatis is responsible for transporting divine power for alchemists and apprentices to refine potions.
Freya's seductive arrows did not work as well as they should, and Fluk's army did not dare to trust the seduced soldiers and let them come near him, which gave space and time to the various forces that had been frustrated in the attack, and Primatis took the opportunity to order the soldiers to press the maximum pressure given to them.
Primatis's face was very cold, manipulating people's consciousness is indeed an effective means, but it would be a big mistake to rely on this technology to determine the battle situation, because there are always hidden dangers in manipulation, and there will be accidents at any time, let alone manipulating the enemy......
Richard, who was observing from the sky, nodded approvingly, and the battle below had been going on a set trajectory, but Freya had not been seen so far. Now that the Enchanting Arrow is not as effective as before, what will Freya do? Why hasn't it appeared so far? Richard decided to put some pressure on him, and the tentacles waved the red flag, and the dragons that followed Onyxia roared past, spraying dragon breath bullets of various attributes towards Fluk's stronghold on the ground.
Outside the stronghold, Fluk's soldiers hid in the tunnels that had been dug long ago, these tunnels were specially dug by the dragon, they were narrow and deep, and the damage that the dragon's breath could do was not high, but it was disgusting enough. It is difficult to get in and out of the pit, and you can only climb up from a specific passageway, and Richard's soldiers can still break forward with the power of artillery fire, and even some of the larger ones even carry a basket of soil on their backs to fill these manned pits.
Richard waited in the sky for a while, Freya still did not appear, Richard shook his head and ordered Onexia to fly in the direction of Fluk's capital, Freya will not ignore the capital regardless of the troops.
I don't know if Richard was thinking correctly or Freya had planned to do this, but it didn't take long for many small black dots to appear in the darkening sky, Richard and Onexia were ready to fight, and the black dots approached Richard and found that they were martyrs! These martyrs were all tied to paragliders, I don't know where they flew down, each of them had crossbow arrows in their hands, and when they entered the range, they shot arrows one after another, Richard twisted his body on Onexia's back, Onexia did not dodge or dodge and launched a counterattack directly, and the fireballs sprayed directly burned several martyrs into ashes. Undeterred, the other martyrs took advantage of the speed of the paraglider to find a good moment to break away from the paraglider and jump directly onto Onexia's back, pulling out a dagger and attacking Richard. Richard jumped high and fought with those martyrs, compared to the hidden ability of these martyrs, their fighting ability was really unbearable, Richard easily defeated these martyrs, but before he could turn around, a golden light pierced Richard's body, this was Freya's attack, and the huge impact took his whole body down. Onexia hurriedly flew down and grabbed Richard with her hind paws. The remaining martyrs harassed Onexia with their paragliders, and the enraged Onexia let out a roar of rage, flailing her wings vigorously to disrupt the air currents and blow away the annoying flies. However, at this moment, a golden light was set......
