Chapter 019: Morale

Aim!Fire!" The herald hissed his throat: "Speed up the reload!"

The roar continued, and the soldiers' eardrums had long been numb, and even the sound of the explosion had been automatically filtered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But I can hear my own heartbeat clearly.

Because I have never felt the approach of death so clearly.

The Third Front had retreated to the end of the street, and there was no real retreat.

Each heavy step of the war elephant is like stepping on their lifeline, and the length of life is reduced by a point before a single step is taken.

These big guys are literally living death!

And such a god of death, there are still three heads, steadily moving forward in the ruins.

Finally, the voice that I least wanted to hear sounded: "Report, the ammunition has been consumed, the last ammunition has been loaded!"

Ciel stroked his glasses and said calmly, "Aim for their heads!"

The captain simply thought that he had misheard, the accuracy of the improved Skybreaker Ballista had indeed been greatly improved, but it was unimaginable to accurately aim at the head of each war elephant and fire, because even when he aimed at the legs just now, he only roughly aimed around their legs, and once it hit the ground and blasted, it could still effectively cause a small amount of damage, but if it was aimed at the head, once it did not hit, it would be a waste of ammunition.

He raised his head and stammered, "Hey... Lord Hill ... ”

Hill responded to him in a simpler and more brutal way, shouting, "Do it!"

Huge ballistas are erected, aimed, fired, and all in one go.

Two of them hit the elephant's head in quick succession, blasting the Celestial Spirit Gai into a large hole, blood gushing out like a fountain, and the elephant twitched and fell to the ground.

The other two misses the head, but they exploded in the chest of the other elephant, tearing a gaping gap, and the elephant fell to its knees and groaned.

And the last two were completely off the budget, leaving only a minor wound on the thick skin of the last war elephant, and spoilers stimulated the crazy beast even more, and a dash into the ballista position.

Failed!

Death is finally near!

"Disperse!" Hill still commanded, "Disperse all of you!" Delay as long as you can! Retreat in batches!"

Even so, the soldiers must not be allowed to flee, and if that were the case, everything would be over.

The agony beast poured out all its anger on the soldiers and ballistas, the thick soles of their feet could crush everything that stood in their way with a single kick, and the fangs easily swept away squads of soldiers and broke their bones.

Hill waited calmly, as if he knew it wasn't a dead end.

Suddenly, the sword light he had been waiting for finally lit up.

Roar!

Even the war elephant was about to roar in pain, and Chris, who was holding two swords, fell from the sky and slashed down, although he could only enter the flesh for three points, but he could still make the war elephant feel pain.

The waving trunk was like a thick stick and fought back, but Chris deftly avoided it.

Chris flew up and down, nimble as a swallow, completely captivating the giant elephant's allure.

At this time, the three of Karad also arrived, and they were completely stunned when they saw this situation.

"A sword alone can't kill such a behemoth. Ace immediately came to a conclusion.

"So what to do, we already run out of ammunition. Said the artillery captain.

"It's not completely out of nowhere. Hill said lightly, pointing to a crossbow bolt in the distance that had only a warhead left because the shaft of the arrow was broken.

After pondering for a few seconds, Calad and Ace exchanged glances and said a few words.

"Will it work?" Ace asked worriedly.

Calad had already responded to her with action, and the straight figure had rushed forward: "Handed it over, Ace!"

"Chris, its feet!" shouted Callad.

Chris drew a circle with a sword, and the lightning slashed down, leaving a distinct blood mark on the giant elephant's body, and then immediately the two swords came out together, and the sword light was great!

"Shattered Ice!" Countless powerful sword forces were all concentrated on one of the giant elephant's legs, and each sword slashed at the same spot with precision, tearing the tendon violently.

The giant elephant knelt down on one knee with a grief.

Callad stepped on Chris's shoulder and leaped high, swinging his dagger deep into the elephant's eyeball.

The giant elephant struggled desperately, opening its terrifying mouth wide and letting out a penetrating roar.

"Ace!"

The slender girl carried the crossbow arrows of astonishing weight, ran with all her might, and threw the crossbow arrows as hard as the bodybuilders in the ancient murals, and the strength of the hundred cracks was pushed to the extreme in an instant, and the crossbow arrows went straight into the elephant's mouth with the sound of breaking through the air, and the strength was not inferior to the direct launch of the gun truck!

Callard stomped on the elephant's head and flipped back while shouting, "Chris!"

The wrist of the black-clothed young man trembled, and a cold light flashed straight into the elephant's mouth.

"Dance, Red Lotus!"

Rumble!

A huge explosion pierced the back of the elephant's neck, sending large balls of flesh flying out.

The three of them stood together again, letting the blood rain fall on their shoulders.

The soldiers were all stunned, although each of them had heard of the strength of the third major general Nord, but no one could have imagined that their cooperation was so terrifying.

Even a moment ago, it was a death-like existence for a soldier, and it could be easily stifled.

The morale that was about to collapse is burning again!

The crows and wolves retreated like a tidal wave after a long absence of new orders, and the nightmarish army of beasts finally faded without a trace.

When the wail of the last war elephant came, Darnay also felt it, and nodded slightly: "I didn't expect it to be so fast." ”

"yes, it's too fast. The time is not yet up. The barely emotional voice sounded beside him.

Darnay didn't turn his head, he knew it was the man who was as white as paper was coming.

The only one in the Nord rebel army other than Perel who he couldn't see through.

"Plan to continue?" said Darwin, too, faintly.

"Hmm!" Rosen, spear-wielding, walked slowly but surely towards the center of the city, "The time has not yet come."

"Then," Darnay walked in the exact opposite direction to Rosen, "I wish you good luck!"

The two long figures staggered by, although they only had a few words, but they knew everything clearly. Kulin, South Gate.

The Valkyrie Guard froze as soon as they reached the city gates.

Thick smoke filled the city, and the sound of explosions mingled with the dying cries of wild beasts.

The defending forces have opened the south gate and begun to evacuate the wounded soldiers and refugees.

Huge numbers of refugees cried and gathered under the gates, the only ones still in the hands of the Nord rebels, and scrambled to get out.

"Help!"

"Those Nord troops have already attacked the city, and if they don't run, they will die!"

"Those are not weapons that are not human at all, they can collapse all the houses in one fell swoop! That's divine punishment!

The scouts sent out earlier also returned, reporting on the battle situation one after another.

"The Beast Legion has been defeated, but the Rebel King's sky-breaking ballistas have run out. ”

"The east, west, and north gates have all been broken. The offensive front was shrinking towards the central command. ”

"Lord Lawson led a personal guard of more than 100 people to defend the headquarters, and the situation was critical. ”

Leswen grinned, "Okay! How many troops are still in the rebel king?"

"Due to the heavy casualties before, there should still be eight hundred combat strength in the city, and it is estimated that there are still about five hundred to six hundred peripheral troops outside the city!"

"Good!" "Good!" "Good!" Lesven shouted three words in a row, each of which was more energetic than the previous one.

But Cesar's heart sank again and again with one good word.

Because he knew what Lesween was trying to do.

As expected, Lesven shouted: "Lord Rosen is the pillar of the country! There must be no mistakes! The whole army advances! Support Lord Rosen! Far from the kings and move forward! Relieve Kurin from misery!"

In Lesven's view, fighting a war was a simple arithmetic problem, and he had seen firsthand how Valkyrie had carved a path to Kulin in the midst of thousands of troops. So in his opinion, one against three is not a fantasy for the Valkyrie Guard.

Coupled with Rosen's more than 100 personal guards, even if he can't completely defeat the team of the Nord Royal Division, at least there is no problem in rescuing Rosen.

In this way, the Battle of Kulin will be completely turned into a stage for Talesven's performance.

But Cesar knew that the war was not a simple conversion of combat power, and once it failed, it was very likely that even this team of more than 200 people would be completely lost.

Therefore, Cesar stubbornly shouted: "Your Excellency, please think twice! Lord Lawson naturally has the certainty of retreating with his whole body after his own death, and according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, it is more appropriate for us to evacuate the soldiers and civilians in the city at present." ”

That's enough hints that whether Rosen lives or dies doesn't matter much to you. Why bother doing such an uncertain business?

Leswen snorted coldly, not even looking at Cesar.

"I agree. A sudden sound of approval sounded, and Cesar looked up to see that it was Toria.

It turned out that as soon as Toliav entered the city, the smoke and wailing in the sky seemed to pull her back to Tiha, who had been attacked, and her heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and she could not calm down for a long time.

In order to prevent a repeat of Tiha's tragedy, she vows to do everything possible to save lives in the city.

With her mind set up, she raised her head and said firmly: "Lord Rosen must want to buy time for the retreat of the soldiers and civilians in the city, we should take the opportunity to save the trapped soldiers and civilians and cover their retreat!"

Leswen never expected that Toria, who had always had no objections to the battle arrangement, would make a statement at this juncture.

After all, Toria is the honorary leader of this army, and she can't ignore her proposal no matter what, but Lesven quickly figured out how to deal with it, and with a turn of his eyes, he said: "In that case, it is better for us to divide the army into two ways, the Valkyrie Toria is responsible for covering the rescue, and I will lead another army to support Rosen."

Cesar secretly shouted that it was not good, this was actually the technique of the Lesven gecko's tail cutoff, since it was impossible to get a unified opinion, it was better to put aside all the people who disagreed and completely obtain the command of the team.

But Toria's scheming was far less meticulous, and she suddenly realized that this was the best of both worlds, and nodded again and again: "Okay, it's all up to the Prophet." ”

Lesven's heart was almost happy, but his face sank like water and he didn't show it: "Since this is the case, I will allocate fifty people to wait with you, and I wish you a smooth journey!"

With that, Lesven divided the fifty weakest members of the team, as well as the three captains of Cesar, Vic, and Dante, into Toria's team, and led the rest of the team away.

Looking at the troops in the distance, Toria suddenly felt a strange uneasiness in her heart.

Maybe it was just an illusion, she pulled out the dust from her waist, pressed the cold side of the sword against her forehead, and breathed deeply.

When I raised my head again, there was only an indomitable determination left in my eyes!

This time, we will never let Tiha's tragedy happen again!
