128, who is the god of war
Relying on the scrolls to repel the enemy's fierce attacks, the exhausted sorcerers finally withdrew from the walls, and the samurai defending the city took the opportunity to rotate and replenish the reserve of fresh troops. Amon sighed, this method can only be used once, the high-level attack scrolls are almost used up, and the most regrettable thing is that he didn't kill Enqidu, the number one warrior in the continent is like an invincible god!
He turned around and helped Li Kuide, who was a little shaky, and ordered someone to escort the great magician to rest. Just now he cast such a powerful magic technique one after another, Li Kuide did his best, he was already in his nineties, although he was usually full of energy, but he also felt very weak after consuming mana like this.
Gilgamesh on the high platform had a solemn face, this was the heaviest loss suffered by the Uruk legion so far, although he had thought that Amon might use the scroll against Enqidu, but he didn't expect Amon to throw it all to the city so unhesitatingly, this method was used but it was gone, Amon didn't seem to care about the tough battle next. The haughty hero's eyes were dripping with blood.
Enkidu had returned to Gilgamesh's side at some point, his body was covered in smoke and fire, and his snake scale armor was also damaged in many places, and he picked up his usual giant shield and broadsword, his eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and Zhou's body exuded a terrifying and terrifying aura.
In this round of engagement, the Uruk legion lost nearly 600 elite siege soldiers. But the casualties on the side of Eju were not small, not counting the samurai defending the city, and the priests alone lost twenty people. The priests on the battlefield are different from ordinary magicians, and ordinary magicians who want to go to the battlefield to cooperate with the army must go through special training and drilling, and they cannot be supplemented by a random group of magicians in a short period of time.
Just as the battlefield was briefly calming down, a slight tremor was heard in the distant wilderness, and chariots and cavalry rushed on the horizon to the left and right. This is a tactic that Amon has long arranged, it is difficult to resist the onslaught of the Uruk army with the defense of the walls of Red Headland Town alone, and the troops stationed behind the defensive lines on both sides will outflank and attack the Uruk army after the battle starts.
Amon divided the chariot and cavalry into two divisions, leading the army on the left was led by the commander of the Isis Legion, and on the right was led by the commander of the Horus Legion, Blaze. Some time ago, Pharaoh himself conscripted and served as the head of the Horus Legion, and the Imperial General Van Bretz deigned to be the commander of the front, and now that Pharaoh was not on the front, he resumed his position as the commander of the legion.
Amon's arrangement, Gilgamesh had long been aware of it, and had expected this kind of counterattack from left to right. The battle formation of the Uruk regiment was in the shape of a horseshoe, with heavy defenses on the left and right flanks, and a siege battle formation in front. The high platform where Gilgamesh was located had returned to the center of the military formation at this time, and the ranks of priests were all gathered under the high platform, and the two wings were spread out and ready to meet the enemy.
The biggest advantage of chariots and cavalry is mobility and impact power, but there is a disadvantage of being in a military formation, that is, it is difficult to turn or turn around in a melee, and if the speed slows down, it will lose its advantage, and it needs to be re-launched in the cover of the infantry phalanx.
Amon left almost all of his infantry in Red Cape to defend the city, and at this moment, the battle formation outflanked from both flanks was all chariots and cavalry, and there was no infantry phalanx to cover and follow. Amon's order was simple, Longteng and Blaze launched an assault, without looking back, until they moved forward through the large array of the Uruk legions, and the route of withdrawal was the starting point for each other. The left flank went back to the camp on the right flank, and the right flank went back to the camp on the left flank, with the mountain line fortifications to cover it, and if you don't want a big victory, you just need to disrupt the enemy camp and repel this attack.
Therefore, the armies on the left and right flanks did not hedge, but staggered their positions, focusing on the rear of the Uruk formation, where the troops who had withdrawn to rest and carry flints and arrows to the battle line were located, which was the weak link. Gilgamesh, of course, could not let them succeed, and the army formations on both flanks spread out backwards and charged to meet them.
The armies of the wilderness were like several rushing waves crashing together, and the sound of fighting was heard again. The gates of Red Cape suddenly opened, and a group of armored cavalry rushed out, and in the center of the team was the commander-in-chief, Amon.
Gilgamesh was dealing with the attack from the flank, and the frontal siege was temporarily halted, and Amon could not let them rest. Now that the situation has become a strangulation war, he must do his best to launch a counteroffensive, and try to destroy the siege arrows and those artillery carts on the front line. There were not many cavalry rushing out of the city, but they were all elite, Amon brought his own personal guards, as well as a hundred heavy cavalry specially left, and the commander of the city was temporarily replaced by Wald.
Three teams simultaneously charged the Uruk army from different directions, and the fiercest battles took place on the left and right flanks. Amon led the heavy cavalry and personal guards to fight, and the heavily armored warriors wielded long-handled battle axes and quickly knocked over and destroyed many arrow towers and artillery carts, echoing the flank battle.
Enqidu on the high platform suddenly let out a roar of rage, and jumped down with a huge shield and brandished a broadsword, his heavy body smashed the ground into a shallow pit, and his feet kept rushing in the direction of Amun. Behind him was a troop of horsemen, Gilgamesh's personal guard.
Amon was slightly surprised, Gilgamesh did not move on the high platform, but Enkidu came with his own guards to attack the raiding party rushing out of the city, and did not pay attention to the more important strangulation battle on the two flanks. Could it be that the city lord is at ease with his generals, or does he think that keeping an eye on Amon is more important than the whole battle?
Amon rushed out of the city just to harass, he didn't plan to do more entanglement, relying on speed and impact to destroy the arrow tower in front of him, and then he would return to the city. But Enqidu's speed was too fast, and a few big strides into the air had already killed Amun's eyes, and the giant shield in his hand even knocked over an arrow tower blocking the road.
Seeing Enqidu soaring into the air and waving his heavy broadsword in the air, Amon couldn't help but smile bitterly, when did he be so valued by this number one warrior on the mainland? He actually enjoyed the same treatment as Hong Baba! He went out of the city and charged a little accurately, Enqidu just escaped from the gap in the city wall, and he would be injured if he didn't die, even if he barely made a move, it would be difficult to do his best, but he didn't expect this sword to be more powerful than before.
He couldn't expect his guards to block the sword, and Enqidu's ferocity also inspired Amun's fighting spirit, and he leaped up from his horse with a shout, and swung his iron staff to shoot down Enqidu in the air. Hearing a loud bang, Enqi threw the giant shield in his hand out while swinging his sword, with a silver light as fast as a meteor, not only hitting Amon's war horse, but even several guards around him were knocked to the ground and killed on the spot.
Just as Amon jumped up and swung his staff, there was a sudden chanting sound from the cavalry behind him, and more than a dozen magic staff were raised at the same time. Countless rays of light fell on Amon and Enqidu, and the iron branch staff in Amun's hand instantly became so dazzling that people didn't dare to look at it, and the flying figure was extremely fast but with a sense of coercion like a mountain, and the surroundings were also wrapped in various invisible armor.
This is a blessing magic launched by all the gods and officials, which gives Amon greater confidence and strength, and at the same time exerts the most tenacious protection on him. The Blessing Technique could also be used to aid attacks, and the light that fell on Enkidu had the opposite effect, causing the great samurai to be restrained and sluggish, feeling dizzy and drowsy, and his body was heavier than usual and difficult to move.
Amon transferred eight mid-level magicians, dressed in bright light armor and disguised as warriors, hid their staffs and mixed them in the cavalry ranks, and followed him under the protection of heavy personal guards, and suddenly joined forces to attack.
The chanting sound was actually heard from the distance among the guards and cavalry behind Enqidu, and countless rays of light fell, a small part of them were around Enqidu, and most of them were gathered on his broadsword. The giant sword slashed with a violent energy impact, and it didn't seem to be negatively affected by the Blessing Divine Technique, and even if it did, it would be very little restrained by the power of this great samurai.
Amon took the initiative to meet him, and the sword and staff exchanged swords and staff in mid-air, making an earth-shattering loud noise, like a sledgehammer hitting the bell, shaking the surrounding air, light and shadow distorted like ripples, and the huge shock wave was like a storm roaring, and the cavalry on both sides rushed to the front one by one, and a large open space was quickly formed below the battle between the two.
In the huge burst of power, several scrolls flew up and unfolded chaotically, and all kinds of mass destruction magic roared and burst out, but they did not control the set attack direction, and bursts of gunpowder smoke rolled up outside the clearing. The sorcerers on both sides raised their staffs and swung wildly, and the shields and weapons of the warriors rose up in a curtain of light to resist the attacks of the scrolls.
Before Amon could leap into the air and swing his staff, he had already thrown two scrolls, not at Enqidu, but at the cavalry team behind him, which also contained the magician. He can use scrolls, and the other party can also use scrolls, and the magician who was hidden in Enqidu's personal guard also threw several scrolls, attacking the cavalry behind Amon in a wide area and indiscriminately.
After all, the scroll is not a magic performed by the magicians themselves, although it does not need to consume the corresponding mana, but it must be locked to the enemy's position to unfold in order to have an attack effect. The impact of Amun's sword and staff was too strong, and although all the scrolls had been unfolded, they deviated from their original attack positions, and the gorgeous divine attacks looked dazzling, but they did not have the expected results.
Enqidu slashed his sword on the iron staff, and Amon felt the ringing in his ears for a long time, and the turbulence of the air in front of him even wiped out fire. He was shaken to the ground, and the solid earth beneath his feet instantly resembled soft quicksand. He used the space magic and the earth elemental magic to prevent his legs from sinking in, but a deep crack like a spider's web appeared in the ground that became solid in an instant.
Amon shouted, "Withdraw!" and two scrolls flew from behind towards Enqidu.
There are not many high-level attack scrolls left in Amon's hand, and in the battle to defend the city just now, some magicians have died before they can use the scrolls, Amon collected the scrolls they left behind again, and added the remaining ones, this time letting the eight magicians take them out of the city to charge, just to prevent accidents.
The scroll unfolded with a whistling and popping sound, but it didn't do much damage to Enkidu, as he had already left the place. This great warrior landed silently, his movements were as light as a tanuki, his body was as fast as a bolt of lightning, his burly physique was holding such a heavy broadsword, and his feet kicked the ground and flew longitudinally to Amon in the distance, and another sword slashed.
Amon spun around on the spot and swung his staff to strike, the iron staff and the broadsword did not collide directly, a surging energy exploded, and Amon flew far away with the shock wave rolled up by the huge waves. He didn't take this sword hard, he used the method of unloading force in the martial arts, and combined with the spatial transfer magic technique, it was like a small boat that was swept up by a huge wave, and the scorpion shell armor on his body was also shattered several times.
Enqidu was fighting hard, and jumped high again, holding the sword in both hands with a dazzling golden light, and volleyed straight above Amun's head. Before the sword arrived, the huge sense of oppression had already enveloped the body, with a strong energy binding effect, this was not a divine technique, but the peak power of physical art. Amon had no choice but to dodge it, and when the sword light slashed into the air, even the ground beneath his feet felt a slight hum.
Enqidu is determined to attack directly, leaving everything else on the battlefield behind, that is, to kill Amon on the spot!
Amon has always been cautious, and it is not unprepared to charge out of the city, bringing elites, and the team also has eight magicians holding scrolls. Even if you encounter a large counterattack by the enemy, you can throw a scroll as a cover, disrupt the siege line arranged by the Uruk army, and take the opportunity to gallop back to the city. Wald was on the tower with his garrison, ready to respond.
Amon had to fight like this in this battle, Long Teng and Blaze had already risked their lives to launch a field outflank, and if he didn't take the opportunity to attack the siege battle array of the Uruk legion, he would miss the best fighter. Whether or not they can repel the most powerful attack of the Uruk army is a matter of course.
But Amon didn't expect one thing, Enqidu seemed to be injured, but it did not affect the combat power of this great warrior, on the contrary, the first warrior of the continent was completely enraged, in a state of angry outburst, picked up the broadsword that had killed Humbaba, and his combat power was unprecedentedly terrifying.
With just two swords, Amon was forced to fly away, breaking away from the cover of the cavalry guards, and becoming a lone fight between the two again. The pro-guards led by Enqidu were already fighting with Amon's cavalry, even if someone rushed to rescue the commander, how could they stop Enqidu's earth-shattering sword?
Only by standing in Amon's position can he personally feel how terrifying the coming force of that sword is, even if he wants to die with Enqi, I am afraid that he will not have the opportunity to take out and launch the storm of destruction. At the moment of life and death, Amon gritted his teeth and puffed up his chest, using all his mana to put on a layer of energy shield for himself, and countless light points on the staff were flickering, slowly and heavily facing the air.
At this moment, one of the guards rushed in front of Amun, jumped up and struck with his sword.
Amon couldn't believe his eyes, who could have arrived at this time? But this person did rush over in the guards, Amon jumped off his horse in the chaos when the first sword of Amon and Enqidu struck each other, and when Amon was shocked by Enqidu's second sword, this person drew his sword and galloped wildly, and the speed was unbelievably fast. When Enqidu's third sword slashed down in the air, this man jumped right in front of Amun's body and blocked for him.
Judging by the speed of this person's reaction and the explosiveness of the wild run, he should definitely be a great warrior, and he can be fearless in front of the power of Enqidu, and even the action of swinging the sword is not affected by the energy coercion in the slightest. Amon doesn't remember that there is such a person in his personal guard, not even Medanzo can do it!
But this man was indeed wearing the armor of his personal guard, and he also rushed from his personal guard, wearing a helmet to cover his facial features, and he could not see his face clearly. The sword in the guard's hand was made of horse leather steel, and the spine was thick, long, and tough, but it was as slender and thin as a blade of grass under Enqidu's broadsword with golden light, and it was simply shattered at the slightest touch.
Amon just wanted to drink it to dodge it, but he couldn't make such a hard connection, but the two swords were already fighting each other in the air. Something that people couldn't dream of had happened, the slender samurai sword actually held the broadsword that Enkidu had cut off Humbaba's head, and it was not damaged at all!
What's even more bizarre is that the two swords didn't make much noise when they struck each other, and the tsunami-like burst of energy that should have appeared was overwhelmed by a strange force, and even time seemed to freeze in an instant. Enqidu landed at the same time as the guard, and the first samurai on the continent opened his eyes and roared, "Who are you?"
There was no answer, and Enqidu did not wait for his opponent to answer, but the emerging master only inspired him to be more high-spirited. This time he did not leap forward, but steadily stepped forward, swung his sword and slashed diagonally again. Whoever stands in Amon's way, whoever it is, Enkai will destroy it!
This sword doesn't look as powerful as the first three swords, but the heavy broadsword faintly comes from an echo that seems to be moaning and sighing, and the speed of swinging doesn't seem to be very fast, but the surrounding time and space seem to be frozen, only this broadsword slowly crosses time and space, like the question of fate, unstoppable and inescapable.
The guard stabbed out lightly, and the tip of the sword was pointed at the spine of the broadsword, making a crisp "ding" sound. The voice was not loud, but it shook Amun's mind with a chaotic echo, no less than any kind of spiritual impact magic technique, and his heart also felt clenched, and his whole body was numb for a while. He was standing behind the guard, which showed the power of this blow.
The guard took half a step back and still stood still, and Amon was involuntarily pushed back half a step by an invisible force. And Enqidu's eyes showed a frenzied glint of excitement, and he shouted: "It's good!" and took half a step forward and slashed with a sword.
There was another "ding" sound, and the guard blocked Enqidu's broadsword and took another step back, and Amon involuntarily stepped back. The action of Enkidu fighting with this personal guard is not like a samurai fight, it is a pure sword-swinging fight, without any skill or tricks. With several tinklings in a row, Enqi has been steadily moving forward.
