Chapter 194: Absolute Strength Disparity
Condos looked up from below the high ground and was colliding with Doles' gaze.
There was a cold light in Doles's eyes, but there was a slight smile in Condos's eyes.
You're lying, there's no way you're going to let any of my soldiers go!"
Yes, only a dead Blago Barbarian is a good Blago Barbarian, how could a great empire waste incomparably valuable resources on you. Condos' eyes were full of mockery.
Dorse looked at the soldiers under his command, some of them had gradually wavered a little, and the Emerald Empire's years of continuous propaganda had finally yielded enough results at such a moment.
In the world of Labral, the Emerald Empire and the Elven Kingdom are the two lighthouses in the hearts of the people of all countries, and countless people want to join these two countries, but the Elf Kingdom is too closed and there is no possibility of entering at all, and it is not so easy for the Emerald Empire to join.
After all, they didn't want to become slaves in the Emerald Empire, but wanted to gain citizenship.
"Lackeys of the Emerald Empire, your plot will not succeed. Doles said loudly, he pulled out his command sword with a "poof", turned to the soldiers under his command and said loudly: "Soldiers, the general of the Emerald Empire in front of you is just a liar, and the Emerald Empire will never accept our surrender." ”
"The Emerald Empire has always been cruel to its captives, and you will become slaves to the nobles of the Emerald Empire. Your family will not be spared, and they will definitely be wantonly humiliated by the nobles of the Jade Empire. ”
"The proud people of the Emerald Empire have always looked down on us Blagos, do you want to bow your head to them?" shouted Doles.
"Crossbowmen, shoot the arrows in your hands at once and kill all the soldiers of the Emerald Empire in front of you!" Doles ordered loudly as he swung his command sword down fiercely.
"It's a direct war!" Doles's actions were somewhat unexpected by Condos.
After all, any attack made by Dors's legion now is actually ineffective, and the Demon Vine Armor Legion is not within the attack range of the Dorse legion, which means that the Dorse legion is now wasting precious bow and arrow resources to do some useless things.
"It seems that what I said earlier really put a lot of pressure on that barbarian general. With a slight thought, Condos understood why the general went straight to war.
"Prepare for the shield!" In the face of the attack of the Dorse legion, Condos still decided to be safe, in case there was any special legion in this army, and in the case of his own unpreparedness, he would cause any relatively large losses to the imperial legion, it would really be over.
With Condos's order, the soldiers standing at the front of the legion, holding two-handed shields, piled up the shields in their hands, and after special permutations and combinations, they couldn't even see any particularly large gaps, and then the sword and shield soldiers also put their one-handed shields on top of their heads to prevent arrows from crossing the shield array in front.
This is one of the most classic formations of the Jade Empire, called the Tortoiseshell Formation, this formation has no other role, the biggest ability is defense, as long as the equipment is good enough, this formation is really almost unbreakable.
Almost as soon as Saga exchanged the Demon Vine Armor Legion from Ivan, he had already thought that this military formation was definitely the most suitable formation for the Demon Vine Armor Legion.
After all, the lethality of the Demon Vine Armor Legion itself is actually not very high, and there is no blessing attack aspect in the aura ability.
Their lethality basically comes from the elite level of equipment and the elite level of the soldiers, the only thing that does not need to be particularly worried is that due to the extremely strong defensive ability, the soldiers of the Demon Vine Armor Legion can use more energy on attacking, and they do not need to worry about being injured by the enemy when attacking with all their might.
When Condos felt that he was about to take the helm of the Demon Vine Armor Legion, he had already begun to learn how to use the Tortoiseshell Formation.
The use of this kind of military formation is not a very simple matter, in the world of Lablar's great world, which has extraordinary abilities, the perfection of the military formation will naturally affect the combat effectiveness of the next army.
Just like the Three Forbidden Realms will only appear when the soldiers are neatly lined up, a strong and suitable military formation will definitely not be inferior to a halo for a legion or a large legion.
Of course, the vast majority of military formations are not that powerful, and only those top-level military formations will have this effect.
That kind of military array is basically a god-level military array, as the name suggests, only the gods can invent the military array, basically hidden in the deepest part of the kingdom of God, if you want to obtain this kind of military formation, you can basically be the top genius.
The other way is the magic array of the magic array, which can also be used as a military array, but it is not easy to successfully transform a magic array for personal use into a magic array that allows tens of thousands of troops, or at least a legion of five thousand troops, especially in the case of the Jade Empire, which is basically not good at magic arrays.
Usually a few Sanctuary Grand Magus and some retired war commanders are discussing how to merge, which is the biggest capital for the Jade Empire and the Elven Kingdom to compete in terms of military formations.
At present, there are ten major military formations circulating in the Jade Empire, all of which have been explored through these two aspects, and the only drawback of these military formations is that the requirements for learners are too high, even Saga cannot master all of them, let alone other people who are not as talented as Sagar.
Fortunately, although the tortoiseshell array is relatively powerful, it is not the kind of extremely top-level military array, Condos's talent in the military array is still very good, and Saga also nodded him a few words, so it didn't take a long time for Condos to successfully master the use of the tortoiseshell array.
At this moment, as soon as the tortoiseshell array was activated, a trace of black light slowly rose from all the soldiers of the entire legion, and then slowly wrapped around the shield and the armor of all the soldiers.
This is the greatest effect of the Tortoiseshell Formation, which can add an extra layer of defense to the Legion.
In the legend of the Emerald Empire, the Tortoiseshell Array was created from the Iron Armor God Crown, and was given to the Empire as a weapon to defeat the nations.
I have to say that the tortoiseshell array has really become one of the most important weapons in the empire, this military formation is simple and easy to learn, but it has great potential, and it can exert different abilities in the hands of different people, and it is almost a military formation that every general in the empire wants to learn.
Basically, in the hands of the vast majority of the nobles of the empire, there is this set of military formations, and the only difference may only be the focus of the military formation.
As the top wealthy family of the Jade Empire, the Brandon family's military formation training methods are naturally the most complete, at least much more complete than the training methods in Condos's hands, and the Brandon family's management of the military formation at the level of the tortoiseshell formation is not very strict, far from being a family secret, as long as the family members can get enough benefits, everyone can pass on these training methods.
......
"Come and don't be rude!" Looking at the arrows shot by the Dorse Legion, although those arrows did not cause any damage to the Demon Vine Armor Legion, Condos naturally looked at the other party's provocation and did not fight back, and immediately ordered the soldiers of the Demon Vine Armor Legion to move forward and then return fire with bows and crossbows.
There are no crossbowmen in the Demon Vine Armor Legion, after all, the Demon Vine Armor Legion and the Wudang Legion are two completely different legions, and the aura of the Demon Vine Armor Legion does not have the talent of blessing bows and crossbows, so the strength of the soldiers of the Demon Vine Armor Legion in the bow and crossbow is probably the level of an ordinary low-level legion.
It is only by relying on the soldiers themselves to reach the physical fitness of the first-level soldiers of the empire to use the bow and crossbow, and the soldiers of the Demon Vine Armor Legion have not even spent a lot of time learning the use of bows and crossbows when they are training, and these bows and crossbows are still brought by Saga when the soldiers are about to set off, after all, a force without a bow and crossbow can easily be targeted.
Units that are all melee infantry are basically finished once they encounter a legion of archers and are kite-flyed.
Even if the Demon Vine Armor Legion can wipe out all the opponents with a single charge, it is a very serious problem if they can't defeat the enemy.
Now this kind of battle from low to high is just the right way to use bows and crossbows to open the way, after all, the soldiers of the Doles Legion are in a completely different state from the Demon Vine Legion.
The soldiers of the Dolce Legion are ordinary people, they do not have the absolute defense of the Demon Vine Legion, which can be called the ultimate legion, and every arrow will cause great damage to the soldier's life.
The Three Forbidden Realms can make the forbidden spell of a Sacred Domain Great Demon Master return in vain, and it can make the hundred-meter-long blade of a Sacred Domain warrior dissipate, but it can't block a small arrow.
For the vast majority of soldiers, the existence of the Three Forbidden Realms is only able to bring them closer to the super strong, and on the battlefield, the super strong cannot regard them as dispensable existences.
In fact, every ordinary soldier is still extremely fragile, a sharp sword, an arrow, can still directly take away their lives.
"Whew!Whew!"
The soldiers of the empire quickly shot out the arrows they were carrying, a full three waves of arrow rain, it looked a bit of a scale, although the accuracy was not very high, but the number of arrows that could not stand was still very considerable, some of the soldiers of the Doles legion who were closer to the imperial soldiers were still injured under the attack of the arrow rain, and many soldiers fell directly under the arrows.
Of course, since the arrows of the Imperial soldiers can hurt the soldiers of the Dors Legion, then the opponent's arrows can naturally also hurt the Imperial soldiers.
At this time, the horror of the Demon Vine Armor Legion was revealed, almost all the arrows were blocked by the soldiers' shields and the armor on their bodies, and only some tiny traces were left on the armor, even if they were continuously shot at the body by many arrows, only some small potholes appeared, and they were far from the scrapping of the entire armor.
Moreover, with the characteristics of the Demon Vine Armor Legion, I am afraid that those armors have already recovered on their own before they have been completely scrapped.
The armor of the Demon Vine Armor Legion was covered with faces, and almost all the arrows were blocked, except for a few very unlucky soldiers who were directly shot in the legs by the arrows.
For the convenience of marching, armor is usually not covered under the knees, and the same is true for the army of the Demon Vine Armor Legion, it is impossible to give up the very marching speed for all armies for such a less important place, you know, in many cases, the marching speed almost determines the life and death of an army.
In this case, the part below the knee naturally became the only weakness in the regular defense of the Demon Vine Armor Legion.
Compared with the fire attack, although this is nothing, after all, the fire attack can directly bury the entire legion of the great horror, but the biggest difference between the two is that the weakness of the fire attack, whether it is Sachar, or Jiashi and Condos, have already tried to make up for it, basically all kinds of methods have been tried.
But for the defense of the legs, there is still no good way, which is also the biggest weakness of the Demon Vine Armor Legion, which is strong by relying on equipment.
In the Empire, there is an army that can be called an absolute defense, both in history and in the current Empire.
These legions basically have one thing in common, that is, even if the soldiers in the legions are not wearing any equipment, they are still no less defensive than those who wear good armor.
But this is not the case with the Demon Vine Armor Legion, the defense of the Demon Vine Armor Legion is very dependent on the Demon Vine Armor, once it leaves the Demon Vine Armor, the Legion will be beaten back to its original form almost instantly, becoming the bottom of an intermediate legion.
In this case, even if the Demon Vine Armor Legion has absolute defense, it is only the absolute defense of the places covered by the armor, and as for those places that cannot be covered, they can only helplessly announce that the defense is not in place.
As a battlefield commander with a keen sense of smell, Dorse discovered this weakness of the Demon Vine Armor Legion almost instantly, and immediately gave orders to the soldiers.
"Attack the calves and feet of the Emerald soldiers, where are their weak points. ”
The veterans of the Doles Legion reacted very quickly, and they immediately aimed their crossbows at the soles of the Imperial soldiers' feet, and then slowly pulled the bowstrings.
Condos's eyelids jumped slightly, of course he knew this small weakness of the Demon Vine Armor Legion, in fact, this weakness was not very eye-catching, after all, it was not so easy to attack such a small piece of the soles of the feet.
