Chapter Seventy-Two: The Last Battle
After rallying and rallying a group of demon allies, Areley briefly calculated the power in his hands.
The main force under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Palace is the 8,000 Guards Army, 5,000 New Army, 5,000 Rock Monsters, and 1,000 Demon Monster Brigade (under the command of Bag), if you add the four cursed sources of Glamorgan (including a large number of Dryads), the combat power that can be formed is close to 30,000,
The auxiliary legions under his command consisted of 10,000 rock monsters, 7,000 water lizards, 3,000 harpies, 22 Vam and the old tiles behind them, a female frog goddess, and 2,000 mercenaries. The combination of the two combined forces exceeded 50,000, and in the face of the actual number of 120,000 Highland Legions, it was not impossible to win a defensive battle.
The only pity is that the goblins can't participate in this war, otherwise their chances of victory will be greatly increased.
Uniting the Monsters is important, but the Governor's Palace itself is the main force to deal with the Highland army, so the black-haired knights must inspire them to fight and dispel their fears before the battle.
Spiritually necessary, materially also needed.
Although there were only 13,000 imperial warriors in the Doge's Palace, the heavily armed warriors were lined up in a large phalanx, neatly arranged, giving a restrained and strong momentum.
More than 10,000 people remained silent, but the others could feel the danger of wolves and cold machines as they approached, and the intimidation was no less than that of two new armies.
The spiritual armament that firmly believes that they are on the side of justice is far higher than the material rewards of the rest of the Empire's armies, and the harsh and almost harsh high-intensity training, coupled with the ultra-real combat drills of the Nightmare Ruins, give them a discipline and organization that is not inferior to the regular army group.
Yare walked past the troops with a blank face. Make direct eye contact with anyone without shying away. Observe the state of the warriors, judge the will of each person, and speculate on the psychology of each person.
They will face several times more barbarians with themselves. It is the backbone of the entire coalition army, so any deficiency must be eliminated, and he does not want to lead to the defeat of the defense battle because of the lack of morale.
The thoughts flashed through his heart, and the black-haired knight began to speak:
"Soldiers, I am very pleased with you, there is no doubt that each and every one of you is a warrior in the Rossvia Legion. For I see in your eyes something beyond the average soldier. In the wind and snow of the middle realm, I have seen the same thing, it is the tenacious belief in guarding my hometown, the strong desire to challenge, and the indestructible will!"
After hundreds of exercises in front of the mirror, Yalei's voice was soothing and penetrating, and his deliberately controlled tone created a special atmosphere.
The content of the lecture is not really important, the purpose is that this way of speaking can allow each soldier to find a trace of resonance and adjustment of his emotions and mentality.
The knight of the Hundred Days of Holy War is a hero revered by everyone, and he is so praised by one of them. For any warrior, it is a supreme compliment.
"We will face no less than 150,000 barbarians. They have the most advanced weapons and have received the most formal training. And you, standing under this bastion, will try to hunt them down and pursue them, and no previous mode of exercise you have been exposed to can compare to this bloody battle. ...... There will be a lot of people who will die, there will be a lot of bloodshed, but your loved ones will not die, your loved ones will not bleed, and your property will be protected. ”
The black-haired knight's voice was always calm, and his eyes continued to communicate quickly and deeply with everyone, relying on plain rhetoric, which instigated everyone's blood to boil.
Especially for these young people in the New Army, who have immature ideals and have not yet been beaten by reality, his words are undoubtedly more infectious.
"At the end of the Middle Realm, the moment the evil gods turned into monsters and swept the land, my commander, General Ebenezer, gave everyone the right to retreat, and now, I also give you that right. ”
Yalei raised his right hand as he spoke, pointing to the forest on the side of the fortress, and said quickly and clearly:
"If anyone is cowardly, afraid of the Celtic army, and thinks he is incapable of defending his homeland, then he can leave now, and I swear in the name of my ancestors that I will not be held accountable. ”
His voice rose and fell through the walls of the fortress, getting quieter and quieter, until at last it was gone, and the soldiers only puffed out their chests proudly, and none of them left the group, and none of them questioned them.
After taking this scene into his eyes, the black-haired knight maintained his calm on the surface, and there was a violent wave in his heart, he was extremely sure at the moment that his army was trained!
"Do you know the answer of the Knights of the Holy Order?"
Arei first asked the crowd with a blank face, and when they cast a longing gaze, he exclaimed, "Their answer is that they will never retreat until they die!
A low roar seemed to turn into a raging flame, burrowing into the soul along the eardrums, completely intensifying the soldiers' high fighting spirit to boiling, and they roared again and again in a thunderous voice:
"We will not retreat!
"We will not retreat!
"We will not retreat!
"Very good...... Today will be your first battle, and before long your fame will spread throughout the Empire, and victory will give you the glory you deserve!"
After the concise lecture, the black-haired knight did not delay any longer, and immediately returned to the interior of the fortress to discuss further deployment with the group before the enemy approached.
......
The quiet forest sea suddenly rippled, and a tsunami-like roar came from the front, and in the land fort in the center of the army, King Wallace picked up the milk tea handed by the accompanying servant from a beautiful sterling silver tray, and his expression suddenly suffocated:
"Someone's voice?"
The servants hesitated, and one of the king's most trusted eunuchs walked briskly to the window, and after listening with bated breath for a moment, replied cautiously:
"Back to Your Majesty, the voice seems to be coming from the south. ”
"Southside ......"
King Wallace subconsciously put his right hand on his waist. Gripping the hilt of the Spear of Destiny. His expression became solemn: "Is it the defenders of Glamorgan?"
"Yes. Your Majesty. ”
The eunuch glanced at the lord's right hand and said tremblingly.
"Why do a group of less than 20,000 lost dogs have such high fighting spirit...... Don't they know that we have an army of 150,000?"
The king cast his gaze out of the window, furrowed his brows, muttered nervously, and laughed out loud:
"That governor has some skills, but it's okay, it's not fun to crush them like a chicken. I hope this group of people is not as fragile as the defenders of the Great Wall. ”
"Your Majesty is wise. ”
The eunuch is like a spirited spirit who has been pardoned, and he is desperately flattering.
......
Wallace...... You're finally here......"
Yalei took all his backbones and stood by the lookout platform of the fortress, staring at the green forest sea that was constantly being torn in front of him, and whispered softly.
At this moment, the highland army, known as 200,000, is impressive!
Spread all over the mountains, the army of black oppression is like a black curtain covering the earth, there is no end in sight, and the army takes every step forward. The green forest was torn apart, and the majestic army was mixed with a strong wind that seemed to be like substance.
A forest that has been cut in half. The cold light of the swords and guns shaking, the heavy pressure seems to be crushed by heaven and earth, and people who lack a little courage are afraid that even their fingers will be terrified and unable to control themselves under this momentum!
Every time the army takes a step forward, there will be a ** from the earth that seems to be overwhelmed, which sounds like a slight vibration is transmitted to everyone along the ground, but it seems that a heavy hammer strikes on the soul one by one, and even causes an illusion of trance and vertigo!
The black-haired knight turned his face sideways, only to see that Pompey happened to turn his face as well, with an impatient expression on his face, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile:
"How's it coming, let him go back!"
The 50,000 allied forces of the Governor's Palace and the nearly 200,000 highland armies faced each other from afar, separated by the towering walls of the fortress and less than a mile away.
The Celts rubbed their knives and spears like beasts devouring bones, making a gruesome cutting sound, while the regular army of the Doge's Palace struck the shield unflinchingly, responding with a powerful blunt blow.
As the two armies threatened each other, a fierce killing machine as if it was substance spread in all directions, turning into a howling wind and a solemn killing between heaven and earth!
"It's strange that the Kyles don't seem to be in a hurry to attack right away. ”
On the city wall, Pompey, who had been observing the highland kingdom army formation for a while, quickly noticed something unusual, although the enemy pulled out such a large formation, but did not show any siege equipment, obviously did not intend to attack immediately or did not have any other actions before launching the attack.
"It's normal that those hateful barbarians will show off their strength and military strength before a large-scale attack, which is used to deter and suppress our morale, and when the show is almost over, they will send people to persuade us to surrender. ”
Listening to Pompey's question, Sitz on the side squeezed out with a reluctant face, and said indignantly:
"That's how I lost, relying on the fact that there are so many people, Zhen Nyima is despicable!"
As he said, after about half an hour, the army of the Highland Kingdom in the distance finally moved, and a path suddenly branched out in the black tide.
A land fort covered in heavy armor and floating on the ground sped straight down the avenue, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.
The fort is inlaid with the white cross coat of arms of the Fannon family on a blue background, and is about ten feet high, with a diameter of about six feet on the chassis, and the whole is in the form of a cylindrical shape that shrinks upwards.
The land castle sped to the front of the army, and the heavy metal door in the front was lifted upward, revealing a tall, thin figure in rich clothes with the golden light pouring out from the inside of the fort.
"What is this? It looks kind of high-end. Carla stood at the head of the fortress wall, dumbfounded.
"This is Lu Xingbao, the latest technology developed by the mages of the Western Continent, I didn't expect to be willing to hand it over to the Highland Kingdom, this time they did not declare war, it seems that it has nothing to do with the Freedom Alliance. Pompey replied with a voice that everyone could hear, not too big or small.
"He must be the king. ”
Yalei observed the other party's appearance and felt that he was six or seven points similar to Kenneth, but he had slightly curly long hair, and his demeanor was slightly prodigal and frivolous in comparison, and he did not have the serious and cautious aura of the eldest prince.
"In the name of the king of the Celts, I invite you, the governor of the Rosevians, to come out to me. Wallace raised his head to the top of the fortress and raised the King's scepter in an arrogant manner.
"I'm the Governor here. ”
The black-haired knight came out calmly, looked at the king in front of the army, and said in a loud voice: "If you are planning to persuade you to surrender, then it is best to put away your rhetoric now, because we will never accept it." ”
"Expected stubbornness...... It's a shame, you're going to regret your choice. Wallace raised an eyebrow with a look of regret, then waved his scepter, and the blast door of the land castle suddenly closed.
Five minutes after the negotiation broke down, the horns were already sounding on the opposite side, and the atmosphere of the vast battlefield instantly spread and filled the heavens and the earth.
Without the slightest drag, the highland kingdom at this moment directly entered the topic, first of all, in the sound of the vanguard's military trumpet, lined up, several bow and arrow brigades stepped forward, and the rumbling footsteps resounded for several miles.
"Burst Arrow, prepare!"
After coming to the front of the battle, they quickly took out the black arrows from the quiver, and the arrow feathers were put on the bowstring, which quickly turned into a full moon, and at the moment when the arrows flew out, they launched an attack on the opposite fortress at the same time.
"Water cannon, fire!"
The line of water lizards below the fortress opened its teeth, and a large amount of water vapor gathered in front of their mouths, and instantly turned into a watermelon-sized water balloon and shot out, leaving a faint light in people's field of vision like a missile shot by a ballista.
Violent whistling and rumbling air explosions suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, and the exploding arrows exploded in mid-air like raindrops, most of which slid through the air and shot straight at the Guards' Army, who were at the forefront of the Governor's Palace's army.
This is the first round of long-range mutual bombardment, and the fire suppression of both sides is evenly matched, and the moment the water cannon approaches the archers in front, it will be blocked by the metal discs of the shuttle.
The first three rows of guards were stacked together from top to bottom with tower shields in their hands, and the city was surrounded by copper and iron walls, infused with fighting energy to completely isolate the power of the bursting arrows outside the wall.
"They're going to use siege artillery!"
Yalei supported the wall and looked into the distance, only to see ten large siege guns scattered in the middle of the dense banners and the army, as well as dozens of armor-piercing ballistas, under the operation of some Luan warriors, began to pour fire on this side.
"Kara, act according to the plan!"
The black-haired knight stared intently at Celtic's formation, and waved his arm back. (To be continued.) )
