13. Everyone is a pawn
Of the two legions formed by Aschi, the third legion was mostly composed of his people, but with the installation of the chieftain, he could not completely control this army. However, he was not worried about the problem of command, he was on the orders of the chief, secretly eliminated the first legion of Monte, and the remnants of the tribe were handed over to the fourth legion, not to mention that the second legion had also fallen to the chief. If nothing else, the plan was a great success, and it greatly cemented the position of the chief.
It's a pity that people will have ambitions, what kind of ability breeds what kind of ambition. Asqi, the shameless villain who usually bows his head and bows his waist, has long put his ambitions into action. With the help of the power of the royal court, the third legion is no longer in its original state, although the infiltration of the royal court is inevitable, but under the consistent goal of both sides, no one will tear their faces in advance.
The alternation of old and new forces always occurs frequently in times of war, because only the army is the guarantee of power, so the chieftain wants to concentrate the military power, the Asqi wants to seize the troops, and the royal court is to consolidate the royal power and expand the influence, all of which are disturbed by the existence of the army. In this partial game, Asqi, an insignificant pawn, finally began his counterattack.
Etong Tai, the leader of the heavy warriors, the chieftain's diehard. No one is stupid, and beware of where one hand is put is applicable. 500 reinforcements and 500 heavy armor fighters, ostensibly to ensure that Monte can be completely annihilated, but in fact to monitor the presence of Asqi. Everyone tacitly pretended to be stupid, and Etong Tai only cared about the chief's task, so the battle in the front camp immediately attracted his attention. As the army moved, he also led his troops to follow, and he wanted to slash Monte, who had no one in his eyes, and saved the chief from trouble.
On the way, Asqi looked at the murderous Etongtai, thinking of a solution in his head. On the day Suotu rushed back with support, he knew the chief's purpose, but this time was different, and there was no time to win over the other party, let alone the most loyal minions. Since it can't be used by me, let's go to the funeral. Maybe now is an opportunity, it would be best to pretend to be a human hand, but it really can't be done, just wait until the time to return to the army, and hand it over to the royal court to clean up.
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Patos and his men were all crawling in the weeds, waiting for an ambush. The outpost was rushing towards him, but before Patos could attack, a chirp of vigilance rang out, and the rats' keen sense of smell made the rats discover the ambush. Patos was only slightly sorry for this, and the soldiers of the Empire were never afraid of a frontal confrontation, so the fierce resistance battle began under the rapid fire of the landmarks.
As in the last two battles, the charging nezumi were shot to death by javelins, but the ferocious regulars were not afraid of immediate casualties, they were more rapid and tyrannical, and they could take all the enemies with them if they had been hit from a distance. Patos's fighting spirit is also high, the troops in front of him are qualified opponents, and slaughtering weak chickens is not his style.
"Kill!" the killing intent shouted by the two parties collided, and the people flipped on their backs, and flesh and blood splattered. The sharp weapons that flew from a distance disrupted the formation of the nezumi and reduced the pressure for the frontal confrontation, but the difference in the number of enemies and friends no longer allowed them to continue shooting, and there was no distance advantage, so they had to join the frontal fight. However, after the baptism of two rounds of javelins, the distance of 15 meters was already covered with the corpses of the rat people, which surprised the Askir and others who arrived later, and in this short encounter, the rat people had lost more than 200 people.
Everyone was shocked by the enemy's combat strength, it turned out that the human race was not as weak as they imagined, but a mere 200-strong force could not stop them, and the victory still belonged to them!
And Asqi was shocked that it was not the opponent's combat power, he never underestimated anyone, but he didn't regard humans as his first opponent. What really surprised him was that there were 40 bronze three-star warriors! And the heavy armor, huge shields, and sharp short swords! With their skillful and ruthless killing skills, they were a group of invincible killing machines!
He himself is a bronze three-star warrior, the existence that makes the lackeys of the royal court jealous. It's not that bronze is already the pinnacle of strength, it's just that in the territory of the rat people, there is basically no silver, and even the most powerful court guards in the royal court are only at the level of bronze two-star. And the heavily armored warriors that Sadoron is proud of are only the strength of the black iron three-star. In other words, a bronze three-star warrior can completely defeat a dozen or twenty Black Iron one-star and two-star opponents without a long-range threat, let alone a well-coordinated offensive team. And the nezumi have always been representatives of the lack of strong range, at most ordinary bows and arrows and slings. So if you want to destroy the other party, you have to pay at least ten times the price.
It seems that this group of mysterious human beings is also a variable in the plan! Aski, who calmed down, smiled coldly at Etongtai, aren't you loyal to Etongtai? Aren't the heavy armor warriors invincible? That's just right, it proves that your chance has come! You guys are here to die!
"Your Excellency, after all, the Third Legion has not been established for a long time, and its combat strength is not strong, so you still need to take action personally to destroy this stubborn enemy!" Asqi sincerely asked for help from Etong Tai, and his words were very respectful.
Hmph! What the Third Legion, but just a bunch of waste, can't even destroy such a little ant, and this waste has a virtue. Although he thought so in his heart, Etong Tai still readily agreed, he wanted to show off his martial arts and let these pustules see their true strength.
"Thank you for your righteous action, the villain will continue to rush to the front camp, I wish you a triumphant return!" With that, Asqi hurried away with a large group of men.
Patos' face was shocked when he saw it, their task was to hold back the reinforcements to buy time, and His Majesty's battle was still going on, and he had to stop the reinforcements from leaving!
"Soldiers, follow me!"
"Warriors! Let each other see! Sadolon's martial prowess is unstoppable! Kill!"
In an instant, 500 heavily armored warriors rushed up with a roar, and Patos was powerless to get rid of it, so he could only fight again. Seeing this scene, he was heartbroken but powerless to change, and he could only let the anger burn out everything he saw with urgency.
The following lock figure looked at the master with some puzzlement, obviously there is a weak target to eliminate, but the master chose a troublesome target, according to his understanding, the master is not a representative of benevolence and greatness, so why is this?
"It's confusing, isn't it? It's not as complicated as you think, if you were to face a group of high-level bronze opponents, I guess your choice would be the same as mine. ”
"What?Bronze High-Rank?" For the lock diagram with only three stars of black iron, bronze is an unattainable existence, is that group of ambush soldiers really so powerful? In fact, this can't be blamed for their loneliness, when they don't show their fighting spirit, low-level people can't find high-level strength. Unless they are people of the same class, they can discover the strength of the other party, and of course, the high-level can also see through the low-level strength. And under normal circumstances, no one will show their vindictive class, although they can enhance their strength, but the consumption of transformation is too huge. So in addition to pretending to be forced, for the bronze class, the harm outweighs the good.
Maybe the idiot won't find out until he's suffered, but it's too late.
......
At the same time, on the other side, the noise of killing was endless, the two sides had already killed each other, and Li Xi had long forgotten what a loss was, it was completely a desperate posture of either you die or I die.
"Let you fight with me, let you fight with me, Lao Tzu must slaughter you!" In the furnace of war, corpses record everything like a clock, and every minute and second is a pile of corpses. The arrows that rained in the distance had also completed their mission, and there was no chance for them to use them on the stalemate between the two sides.
So throw down your bow and arrows, draw your daggers, and charge towards the battle line!
Monte was also caught in the middle of the scuffle, and the entire camp was already in a mess. His eyes were red with corpses everywhere, his heart was dripping blood, he hated! He didn't understand why God did this to him, he had no chance, the whole army had been crippled, and the dream of hegemony had vanished. He is not reconciled, he hates everything! Those disgusting faces, those disgusted eyes, you all deserve to die!
The situation on the battlefield has become more and more unfavorable for the rat people, who did not break through the battle line in the first place, and suffered a merciless blow from the bow and arrow. Thanks to Li Xi's steady position, the follow-up archers could fire with all their might. So relying on the blows of this time, Li Xi regained the advantage. And the archers who charged afterwards were even more of a shot in the arm, breaking the stalemate in an instant.
The huge casualties are testing the nerves of both sides, just like two strong men who break their wrists, and the green muscles are bursting and clenching their teeth. Everyone understands that retreat at this time is the beginning of defeat, and there is no way back.
Finally, the hysterical Monte and the murderous Li Xi met on the battlefield, and both of them found the difference in their outfits, so everything was very tacit and direct, and collision was their only destination.
The two sides that rushed were preparing for a fatal blow, the duel of the brave was never a gorgeous show, killing and blood were their themes, and the primitive battle of swords and flesh was the solution of the pure masters.
At the time of staggering, the killing intent rises together, you come and go, and you don't give in to each other.
The scimitar slashed across the shield, stirring up a little spark. The dagger slashed at his body, cutting streaks of blood.
Flashing around, Li Xi slashed down the attacking nezumi with a sword, and he smiled fiercely and looked at Monte condescendingly. Monte, on the other hand, licked his blood-stained scimitar and enjoyed the thrill of killing like a beast.
