Chapter 390: Defeat (2)
Knights and warriors are certainly the most important war forces in this world, but there are also offensive and defensive techniques to improve the abilities of combat professionals. Just fall in love with Lewen
In order to compensate for the natural disadvantage of warlords when facing mages, there have been people who have developed skills for thousands of years to destroy ordinary spells with fighting energy and directly resist magic.
However, it is impossible to deny the fact that despite the millennia of efforts by the Warlords to close the gap with the mages and achieve remarkable results, Chromi is still a world ruled by magic.
So when the Spartacus priests, led by Lear, began to bombard the barbarians with spells, the rising casualty numbers and the horrific ways of dying immediately hit the barbarians to the bottom.
What made Will's eyes tremble was that although the magic cast by Spartacus's group still conformed to the rules of this world, and the damage caused was probably the same as what she knew, the damage caused by the magical light that burst out of Lear's hands was definitely at a level that could directly destroy her magical cognition for more than ten years.
The flames were white, mercilessly sweeping through all the living corpses around them and instantly turning everything to ashes, the lightning was purple, and the lightning flashes that were thicker than her waist flowed through the crowd at a terrifying speed, leaving behind a charred and tattered corpse like a wave of death in its pass, and the power of the electricity could make even an ogre who was extremely strong one second turn into a corpse half charred and half broken bones in the next second.
With blue ice and white hurricanes, Lear alone could inflict almost as much damage as hundreds of mages cast at the same time, making it look more like a one-man slaughter show, with the others just trying to fill in the gaps.
"Impossible, how can it be strong, the will of the world will not allow this level of power to exist......"
Will, who originally wanted to lead the battle mages to intercept the Spartacians, was completely speechless in shock.
She is not a low-intelligence person who does not understand magic, on the contrary, it is precisely because of her deep research and understanding of magic that her faith has collapsed, so that she can't believe what is happening in front of her.
Not to mention that the barbarian didn't understand the true meaning of magic, she knew that the effect of these terrifying spells displayed in front of her would not be possible even for those red-robed mages in Bracada.
It would be nice to say that the master of this power is Bracada, the wizard king who only exists in legends but has never seen anyone, but Lear is so old that it is impossible to do it even if he has been exposed to magic since his mother's womb.
At this time, of course, Lear would not explain to Will what is the essential difference between the power of the elemental dragon and the elemental elves of this world, and the most direct consequence of continuous spell casting is that his magic power is rapidly consumed like the water that bursts the embankment.
Although the mass killing was not his intention, he knew that it was the only way to reduce casualties on both sides.
With the degree of hatred that the barbarians now have for him, he can only stop the war if he completely destroys the enemy's fighting spirit and fights and fears, otherwise the two armies will fight each other like two meat grinders, until the barbarians first grind his army into powder or Spartacus crushes the barbarians' army to slag.
Although he didn't mind how many barbarians died at all, it wasn't what he wanted if Spartacus's army suffered too many casualties.
Fortunately, Vir did not remain immersed in this shock, and as soon as she came to her senses, she organized all the battle mages and magic mages to move closer to her, blessing her own army with various elemental magic defense buffs, and also using a large number of low-level spells to hedge against the Spartacians at the front.
Veer's actions had a very obvious effect, and after four consecutive elemental magic defense spells were blessed with the barbarian army, the queue that was about to collapse slowly showed signs of stabilization.
ββThe high-level elemental defense spell cast by the magic mage can reduce the damage of magic by a terrifying fifty percent, and the Spartacus group used to attack the barbarians is mostly low-level spells, and the barbarians are indeed thick-skinned, and the casualty rate that once skyrocketed has slowly decreased.
Similarly, when the barbarian battle mages began to inflict massive damage on the Spartacus infantry with their bayonets moving forward, the morale that had been low to the bottom began to rebound.
"Kill the sea barbarians!" "Kill!" "Take revenge!"
In the midst of the roar, the barbarians reorganized their offensive in a decent manner, and the armies on the left and right flanks gritted their teeth to withstand the damage and artillery fire of the Spartacus Order, and once again surrounded the advancing infantry formation.
Leading the march was Haag.
The fierce battle began frantically at the first moment when the two armies came into contact, and in order to avoid accidental damage to the friendly forces, both sides of the regiment and long-range strikes avoided the front line of the battle and turned to attack the rear of the enemy army, but at the same time, the large ballista that had been hidden in the barbarian formation finally came in handy.
At the same time, a hundred ballistas drove out of the barbarians' wings and aimed at the Spartacus in the middle.
"Kill all the sea barbarians! Avenge the leader!"
The orc captain in charge of the crossbow formation did not hesitate to knock down the crossbow carriage, and then hundreds of crossbow guns that were thicker than children's arms crashed into the Spartacus formation desperately.
The barbarians, who had been pressed by the long-range fire of the Spartacians, rarely found a chance to retaliate, and at this time, they were all red-eyed and desperately twisting the hinges of the ballista, and loaded the huge ballista guns into the chutes of the ballista again.
"Puff puff!"
The crossbow spear with strong inertia instantly caused a large number of casualties in the Spartacus infantry formation, and the sharp crossbow tip actually carried the first warrior directly into the air after piercing the body, and the tail was still swinging violently after the three warriors were nailed to the ground.
The red blood instantly stained the Gobi, and the few warriors who were strung into grasshoppers gradually died out in anger and pain.
This round of ballista volleys actually caused nearly two hundred flank casualties to the Spartacus infantry formation.
"Tariq!"
Seeing this, Hag was furious and suddenly entered a state of madness, and as soon as his voice fell, a strong figure protruded from the flank of the infantry formation and crashed straight into the barbarian crossbow array on the left, and he himself stepped on the two and suddenly jumped high, the huge battle axe in his hand condensed into a ten-meter-long blood qi, and the blood Shura phantom behind him flashed and slashed towards the barbarian crossbow array on the right.
Boom, a terrifying ravine with a depth of more than a hundred meters and a width of more than one meter suddenly passed through the barbarian's crossbow array, including the half-orc captain, as long as everyone in this attack line turned into blood clots flying in the sky, and more than ten ballistas were damaged.
At the same time, the barbarian crossbow array on the left side was also screaming, although it was not as terrifying as Haag's one move to shock the enemy, but the fear brought by the head stumps and blood that rose and fell in the sky was no less than Hag's.
"Death to the traitor!"
At this moment, a piercing edge suddenly crossed the barbarian's crossbow array, and suddenly appeared above Hag's head, the latter didn't look at it, it was just an axe swing, and after the person was hit hard, he fell back more than twenty steps, and knocked over five or six ogres in a row before stopping.
"How is that possible!"
Grantell couldn't hide the shock in his heart, when Hag first returned to the barbarian army, he also wanted to give the other party a dismount because of itchy hands, and he also pretended to have a fight with Haag, at that time the two were just a match, and it was only a few months, and he couldn't even take Haag's move.
If he knew that Hag didn't want to fight at all in the original battle and only played seven points in the end, it is estimated that he would not be so shocked now.
At this moment, the void rift in the sky that had been silent after spitting out the pillar of fire had taken on a new change, and large areas of purple thunder light appeared from the edge of the crack, as if there was an incomparably terrifying will that opened its eyes from the distant darkness and began to peek at the delicious creatures of this world.
"Void Flash!"
Lear, who was hiding behind the Order, turned a little pale, and even his raised arm trembled unnaturally, this was already his last magic power, if the Wind Dragon Erath was not strong enough to destroy the barbarians' fighting spirit, then he could only order the Spartacus army to retreat into the valley to find another way.
"Boom, boom!"
It seemed that only the violent thunder was left between heaven and earth, and even the scorching sun, which had been greedily licking the blood on the ground, was so frightened that it hid, and the heavy darkness continued to oppress the entire battlefield with a suffocating aura, and soon, destruction came overwhelmingly.
More violent than the one that Shiva encountered, more than a dozen electric pythons fell from the sky and smashed directly into the hinterland of the barbarian army, those electric pythons frantically ejected towards the crowded place as if they had their own consciousness, and each catapult collision left a large area of charred corpses.
At the same time, the artillery positions of Spartacus were also like crazy, no longer sparing ammunition and barrels, but pouring all the artillery fire on the heads of the barbarians, and what made the barbarians even more terrified was that the ten remaining crystal dragons in the valley also roared furiously, trampling towards them like a mountain toppling.
Under such a triple blow, the barbarians' front soon showed a momentum of collapse, and the assault was blocked, not to mention that the reinforcements behind them suffered heavy casualties than the forwards.
Rows of fallen corpses made the whole camp of the barbarians look like a swamp that had been molded for a long time after a rain, half in pools of blood and flames, half in panic and fear.
"Wow!"
I don't know which big-eared monster was the first to make a vomiting sound, which immediately triggered a chain reaction among the surrounding savages.
Not only is it true that the battlefield is filled with a disgusting stench of burnt corpses and gore, but intelligent beings can also trigger a physical stress response when their inner fear reaches a limit, and vomiting, shivering, and even fainting are possible.
This vomiting not only made many barbarians vomit out the stomach acid overnight, but also the courage in their bodies that had been compressed to the limit was almost vomited together, so after a few more crazy barbarians were chopped into meat sauce because of the failure of the impact formation, a half-orc hiding in the rear suddenly threw away his axe and ran further back like crazy, and at the same time became the first domino that triggered the collapse of the barbarian army.
