Chapter 297: Blood Plain

The first wave of tentative attacks on both sides made little progress as a pure white griffon banner unfurled in the wind, while the outline of the large griffon at the rear of the barbarian formation was lit up by an illuminated ball of light.

Although the Paladins had the power to charge with heavy armor, the death gaze of the Brute Bull that followed also made them pay a not light price, and after each of them dropped dozens of corpses, the Terran Paladins retreated to the high ground behind the army with a slight advantage.

The cold visor was lifted. But the blazing eyes of the knights showed that the next storm was already brewing.

Under the banner of the Griffin King, King Ryan, accompanied by Bishop Ronis, stared coldly at the battlefield ahead, which had just been dispersed into darkness.

Although the priests have provided magical support to the fullest, as Sosa said, their strength is not enough to cover the battlefield of the decisive battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, and the consumption of the priests after such a large-scale use of the Illumination God is also very large, and the help they can provide in the subsequent battles will be greatly reduced.

Before the battle began, the Erathians were at a disadvantage, and the reason why the battle between the two sides was even before was due to the equal military strength, and the priesthood of the god of war, Ardis, also contributed to it.

Although the barbarians are not good at magic, their talent in attack is unquestionable, and once the spell suppression effect on the battlefield is weakened, the battle directly enters the stage of individual soldier and army quality competition, and the result will definitely not be too friendly to Erathia.

But Rion didn't want to wait, even if he couldn't annihilate all the barbarians tonight, he had to cripple them and leave an indelible shadow for the rest of his life, and then he could return to the royal capital with his army to clean up the wild dog.

He was furious at the thought that his most beloved daughter was falling into the hands of that man at this time, in fact, what made him even more difficult to accept was that a family dog who had always groveled betrayed him silently, how could he resist the urge to immediately dismantle the other party with his conceited and manic character?

"My lord, it seems that the Erathians really want to fight. ”

Under the barbarian's barbarians, Gnison said excitedly to Tanan.

With excellent night vision, barbarians can easily see the battlefield hundreds of meters away without any auxiliary means at all, and even for werewolves, lizards and ogres, without the interference of light, their combat power at night is stronger than during the day.

The patches of heat flowing through their bodies allowed them to easily tell where the vital points were and where the defenses were weak, and then the sharp claws and heavy fists could directly turn the beating hearts into pieces of slag.

"Let the beast tamer drive the ultimate hydra and the brute bull to the forefront, the goblins and ogres hold their shields behind, the cyclops and the orcs push forward, and once the paladins of the Erathians are surrounded by the wolf knights, they will immediately pounce!"

Immediately after confirming that the battle was about to begin, Tanan issued several battle orders, and as the low horn sounded over the barbarian formation, the formation of each team also changed significantly.

The only ones who weren't sent to the command were the Thunderbird Legion led by Shiva and the ghostly beasts directly under Tanan, which were left to the Holy Archangel of Erathia without much need.

Although Tanan didn't know what prompted his opponent to make the decision to fight at night, he would never let go of this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone for him.

The first point is that the swamp people under his command are becoming more and more difficult to control now, and since the return of the boy named Hag, the swamp people who have been like the walking dead have been tightly held together as if they have found their souls, which is certainly not what he wants to see.

However, all of Haag's actions were in line with the legacy of his ancestors, and his combat prowess was not compromised in carrying out his orders, so even Tanan could not say much on the surface, but that didn't mean he was willing to watch this continue.

I don't know when this idea has been deeply implanted in his mind, and now the Erathians have undoubtedly done him a great favor, as long as all the swamp people are consumed in this battle, then all the problems will be solved, and there is no need to worry about the mutiny that will be caused when the news of Queen Talos's restoration reaches the ears of those swamp people.

As for the second one, it is even more urgent, although the establishment of Erathia has only been established for a few years, it occupies the richest central plain of the continent, while Krurod has endured hundreds of years of oppression by the wizard king, and is already destitute.

The soldiers and horses had not moved the food and grass, and the previous months of fighting had been largely sustained by plunder from the Tartarians, and now that the supply lines were broken, he would have to collect food from Krurod, but he was unwilling to make this choice until the last moment when he thought of the barren land of his homeland.

In fact, there was still a point about the Beit League behind him, and that strong sense of foreboding had not dissipated until now, and he could almost conclude that there had been a drastic change in his rear, so when the Erathians threw the demand for a decisive battle in front of him, he immediately accepted it without hesitation.

"Command the halberds to move forward in formation, the sharpshooter advances two hundred meters to carry out the first round of projectiles against the enemy formation, the crusaders are divided into left and right flanks to guard, and the royal griffin eagle directly kills the half-orc legion, so that Morris can judge the timing of the charge independently, as long as the enemy's camp shows flaws, the primary goal is to kill the cyclops of the barbarians!"

On the walls of Chesem, Ryan issued several orders in succession, and then he turned to Bishop Ronis beside him and said, "Your Excellency, I also ask you to lead the priests and priests to respond in the rear, and make sure to ensure the stability of the rear army formation and not be impacted. ”

Even if he is the king, he cannot directly order the clergy of Ardis, UU reading ukanshunet In a sense, the clerical power and the imperial power are parallel, so when speaking to Bishop Ronis, Rien adopts a pleading tone.

"As you wish, my Majesty, the Light protects Erathia. When Ronis heard this, he drew a cross on his chest with his right hand, and then turned and walked down the city.

With dull horns and suffocating heavy steps, the vanguard troops of both sides slapped into two horizontal lines on the boundless grassland, and then approached each other little by little at a seemingly slow but determined speed.

Finally, when the halberd soldier and the big-eared monster at the front of the array were able to see each other's hatred and bloodthirsty killing intent clearly, the entire battlefield suddenly erupted in crazy killing sounds.

The horns, the pace, the commander's roar were meaningless in this moment, and all that was left was the spear piercing through the muscles, the hammer smashing through the skull, and the rustle of blood falling on the grass.

Whether it is a savage or a human, this moment is immersed in the madness or fear of boundless killing.
