Chapter 62: The Decisive Battle
When the first row of Norland hoplites stepped forward, Richard's heart was shocked! This war may be more difficult than he expected.
Although the Faroe coalition has several times the strength of the enemy, the gap between the secondary plane and the main plane is too large.
The Norland phalanx rolled in like raging waves, ruthlessly bulldozing all obstacles in front of them. The pillars, the traps, the fortifications, and the warriors of Faro were all crushed to pieces.
Under Raymond's command, the Norland army contracted, ejected, retracted, ejected again, like a falling hammer, striking hard at the Faroese fortifications.
Hundreds of magic arrows pierced the sky and flew towards the top of the stone mound, overpowering the archers on Richard's side in one fell swoop. Although the number of those magic archers was only a few hundred, the magic arrows they shot were extremely powerful and long-range, firmly suppressing the three thousand faro archers who occupied the advantageous position.
Raymond smiled confidently, and things were going just as he expected. Although Richard's development speed is amazing, his participation in the plane war is still short after all, and the main force of the army is still the Faroe natives. And when the Norland army was on size, it was almost impossible for the Faroes to win by numbers.
The three lines of defense that Richard had laid out in front of the stone mound were bulldozed in an instant, and the thousands of warriors inside were all reduced to corpses, while the Norland warriors were only a few hundred down.
(10 to 1 battle damage...... It's not going to work.)
Seeing that the situation was not good, Rayleigh flew into the air and directly used his ability to calm his mind and instantly send out a meteor shower. A moment later, twelve huge meteorites fell from the sky and smashed down on the Norlanders.
Raymond's face changed drastically, and he said in shock: "Masters, stop it!"
The three archmaguses immediately cast their magic as fast as they can, intercepting the meteorite. However, Reilly was able to instantaneously perform ninth-level magic, but they couldn't. The old magician beside Raymond successfully released an eighth-level magic before the meteorite landed, destroying a meteorite, while the other two archmages could only use seventh-level magic to bombard continuously, and finally stopped another meteorite at the last moment.
The remaining ten meteorites fell into the battlefield, immediately stirring up a large area of fire and smoke. The Norlanders' army was scattered, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and in the blink of an eye, more than a thousand people were incapacitated.
Richard's heart moved, and he gave an order in his consciousness in advance. In the underground space in the center of the battlefield, a thrower struck the iron platform in front of him vigorously, and a spark ignited on the iron platform, which then split into several lines of fire and extended in all directions.
A moment later, the earth suddenly trembled, and waves of air erupted beneath the Norland army, throwing hundreds of warriors into the air. This wave of surprise attacks came from underfoot, but there was no precursor to any major spells, which caught the Norlanders by surprise. Their formation, which had already been broken up by the meteorite, became even more chaotic.
The morale of the Faro coalition army was boosted, but Reilly, who was on the high platform, spread his hands to Richard.
At the moment when the explosion came, there was still a huge wave of power emanating from it. Not to mention those Norland strong, even the slightly stronger officers were aware of it and prepared for defense in advance. Richard created a series of explosions that ultimately killed and injured only a few hundred ordinary soldiers.
"Send out an ambush, the Faroese alone will not do. Reilly suggested.
Richard nodded, and gave the order in his consciousness. Fifteen thousand of the ambush soldiers, who had long been prepared, appeared on the edge of the battlefield, forming a huge encirclement from the outside.
Raymond looked back and immediately showed a solemn expression. At the head of that ambush were a thousand humanoid knights, their momentum, strength, and equipment were completely different from the native knights encountered by the Norland Expeditionary Force, and even a notch higher than the royal guard. Even if they are put in Norland, these knights can be called elite.
Raymond's face became paler and paler, but orders were given faster and faster, and his impassioned voice continued to echo over the battlefield. He gathered his formation and desperately attacked the stone tower where Richard was. In Raymond's opinion, as long as Richard was knocked down and the fluttering battle flag was cut off, the Faroese would be defeated. What's more, the main goal of the army he led to Farrow was not to occupy this plane, but to eradicate Richard!
In this way, the situation on the battlefield became that Richard's ambush soldiers surrounded Raymond's troops, and Raymond led the front army to attack Richard's defensive line, while Richard defended the stone tower to resist the crazy onslaught of the Norland expeditionary force. As long as Richard can withstand it, sooner or later the Norlanders will be wiped out, and if his position is pierced, it will become the Faroes.
On this small stone mound, both sides were red-eyed, blood and flesh were splashed, and roars and wails rang out in unison!
Inevitably, the scuffle began, and the strong men on both sides all attacked and fought together.
The Duke of Blue Wolf and the Duke of Glasburg teamed up against an old man in gray, but they still fell behind. They had already activated the ultimate ability of the Ancestral Protection, and the Quicksand's divine skills did not conflict with the Ancestral Spirit, so the two dukes could hold on for so long.
On the other side, the other two Sanctuaries of the Norland Expeditionary Force were struggling to support themselves under Gore's twin swords, and they couldn't even breathe. Although this girl in a trench coat was only level seventeen, her strength and speed far surpassed that of ordinary Sanctuary! The reason why the two Norland powerhouses were able to survive until now was mainly because Gore wanted to kill them head-on. Otherwise, no one in the Norland Expeditionary Force would have escaped her assassination.
In the sky, a red dragon is chasing and killing an archmage, while Lina is fighting against another.
Reilly unleashed the Wall of Fire spell to scatter the Norland warriors who rushed up. Under the influence of the art of war, he did not have to worry about the consumption of mana at all, as long as he poured destructive spells on the enemy.
At the same time as the front was tight, the back of the Norland Expeditionary Force began to loosen, and thousands of humanoid knights formed a cutting machine, slowly but surely inserting into the Norland army.
The strength of the Humanoid Knights is already stronger than that of ordinary Norland warriors, and they are not afraid of death, and they can exchange their lives for the lives of their enemies at any time. What's even more terrifying is that no matter how many injuries he has suffered, as long as he is not completely incapacitated, the humanoid knight can continue to fight! For ordinary soldiers, such an enemy is really terrifying.
Richard suddenly flew into the sky, pointed his long knife ahead, and roared: "Soldiers, do you see? Our battle flag is still fluttering in the wind!"
Countless Faro warriors looked back, and they saw Richard suspended in the air, and saw the battle flag flying in the wind!
Reilly looked up and smiled, "Yes, a little bit of a king." ”
(It's time)
After landing, Richard gave a new order in his consciousness.
The earth shook suddenly, and forty-eight knights rushed out from behind a stone pillar in the distance, and they formed an extremely aggressive arrow formation, rushing towards the battlefield! The knight at the head was very special, he was wearing a hideous helmet, holding a big axe in his hand, and the magic horse under him was extremely tall, it was the number one general under Richard's command, Gangde!
There were only forty-eight knights, but they overwhelmed thousands of troops in momentum!
I don't know who let out a scream: "Knights of Akmund's Constructed!"
The Norlanders nearby turned their heads and looked in the direction from which the cry had come from. No matter what plane you are in, the appearance of the Constructed Knights will always attract attention.
Seeing the number of Constructed Knights, Raymond's brain instantly turned blank! He never imagined that Richard actually had a full forty-eight Constructed Knights in Faro!
In order to make up the forty-eight Constructed Knights, Richard not only purchased twenty candidate Constructed Knights from Agamemnon, but also borrowed twelve Knights of the Dawn from Reilly.
A few days ago, Raymond used fifty knights in costume to cut through the defense line of the Baroque Kingdom's war guards and kill King Arnold in one fell swoop. Now, Richard's forty-eight constructed knights can also gouge through the Norland Expeditionary Force. Once the strict formation is lost, the Norland warriors, who are already inferior in numbers, will become the target of slaughter, no matter how elite they are.
(Constructed Knights, our Constructed Knights...... )
Thinking of this, Raymond's heart was cold. The Norland Expeditionary Force originally consisted of fifty Constructed Knights, but now there are only a dozen left, and they are scattered to all corners of the battlefield to break through the enemy's defenses. However, now they have no time to assemble!
At the critical moment, Raymond looked at his own Sanctuary powerhouse. Since you can't count on the Constructed Knight now, you can only let the strong stop the other party.
However, the sight in the distance made him feel like he had been struck by lightning.
A strong man in the Sacred Realm armed with a spear was fighting with Gore, his face was surging with a strange flush, his body was burning with cyan fighting energy, a blood-colored lightning flashed on the tip of the spear, and the whole spear was constantly trembling as if it had a life of its own! However, the powerful power he burst out at the cost of his own heavy damage could only barely resist Gore's stormy attack.
Not far away, another Sacred Domain powerhouse fell to the ground with a pitch-black knife stuck in his chest.
Raymond's face turned blue and murmured, "The power of shadows ......"
Moments later, the spear-wielding Sanctuary fell into a period of weakness after the eruption, and was easily slashed by Gore.
