Chapter 602: The Canyon
readx;
Dio accompanied Laura around the other side of the river several times, but still found nothing, and if there was anything abnormal, it was that there seemed to be a foul smell in the air here, some like sulfur, but not so pungent, I can't tell what it was. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the end, Laura reluctantly gave up, but still emphasized: "I really don't feel very comfortable here." ”
Dio nodded in agreement: "Then look carefully?"
"Forget it...... Laura was a little deflated, "Maybe I'm wrong." ”
This was just a small episode, Dio didn't take it to heart, only Laura seemed to be unwilling, and from time to time she would frown and look in this direction a few times.
The coalition army soon arrived on the banks of the Seine, and the army naturally had to make a lot of preparations to cross the river, dozens of pontoon bridges were erected over the winding Seine, and the samurai in charge of the exploration had gone deep into the other side of the river, observing the city of Cantiago from afar, and beware of the enemy's surprise attack when crossing the river.
"My lord, the coalition forces are ready to cross the river. A warrior hurried up to the city and reported to Benedict.
"How long will the effect last?"
"Two days. ”
Benedict muttered, "Tell us to go down and get ready." ”
"Yes, my lord!" the samurai replied loudly, running down excitedly, the Tsunami Legion took the initiative to give up the camp, and the soldiers below were holding back their strength, this time they finally had the opportunity to raise their eyebrows.
Benedict looked at the winding Seine River in the distance, it would take at least a day and a night for hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the river, that is, they would have to block the coalition forces for a whole day, and the prior arrangement would play a role, whether it was success or failure, it would depend on this time.
"The Tsunami Legion is in Cantiago?" said Shrox, who was directing his soldiers across the river, turning his head to look at Jarvis beside him.
"I can't say for sure how many troops there are in the city, but it's true that the man at the head of the city is Benedict. "Jarves had dealt with Benedict a few years ago and had a good memory.
"That's how it should be. Schloss nodded: "There's no way Benedict could leave the Tsunami Corps at such a time. ”
On the side of the samurai sent the map, Schloss carefully examined it, and soon found the problem, the nearby is mostly mountains and forests, Cantiago City is the only transportation artery, if you don't want to clash with the Tsunami Corps, you can only take a detour, but that will at least waste more than three times the time, Schloss believes that the other party will not be unaware of this fact.
"Benedict wants to fight us here?" Schloss was a little puzzled, Cantiago City was not small, but it was not a military fortress, and he really couldn't think of a reason for the other party to do so.
Jarves, who was on the side, also saw that Cantiago City did not have much advantage in terms of geographical location, and said with a frown: "Probably not, we have checked all around, and there is no ambush." ”
"It could also be that there are warriors in the city of Cantiago. Schloss said slowly, and only this explanation works, otherwise if it is only a Tsunami Corps, it will not be comparable to the coalition forces in terms of troop allocation or high-end force.
Yalvis shook his head: "If that's the case, then there's no need for them to abandon the big camp on the border at all, at least the morale won't be affected." ”
After discussing for a long time, they couldn't come up with a result, so they had to put this question aside, anyway, Cantiago City was a place they had to pass, no matter what was in the city, they had to open this road, and they could only take one step at a time.
The soldiers of the coalition army were not weak, so the speed of crossing the river was fast, and by the next morning, the hundreds of thousands of troops were all standing on the other side of the river.
Laura was still frowning, she always felt that something seemed to be lurking in the shadows, staring at her, but she couldn't find the crux of the problem, this result undoubtedly made Laura very depressed.
Dio looked at Laura with some amusement, this little girl is really persistent, and she has been entangled until now, in fact, Dio also wants to believe Laura's intuition, but after several investigations, there is no result, and finally she gave up.
A light breeze blew, and Dio suddenly noticed that the unpleasant smell in the air was not as strong as it had been two days ago, but Dio did not pay attention to this subtle and almost imperceptible change, and led Laura to follow the large army in the direction of Cantiago City.
At noon, Schloss was about to give the order to rest, when suddenly a spy rushed back to report that a large force of the Tsunami Corps had been spotted at the exit of the canyon ahead.
Schloss, who originally wanted his soldiers to replenish their strength, immediately changed his mind and ordered the soldiers to hurry up and eat dry food, so he rushed over with Morin and the others first.
Standing at the top of the steep canyon, Schloss and the others could clearly see that a dense army had gathered at the exit, with a preliminary estimate of at least fifteen thousand, which was just in line with the strength of the Tsunami Legion, and it seemed that Benedict had sent all the forces.
I have to say that Benedict chose a good location, although the canyon is very wide, but at most it can accommodate about 20,000 people at the same time, Schloss wants to use superior forces to encircle the Tsunami Corps is obviously impossible, for now the only way to break through from the front, but Schloss does not care about this, the Tsunami Corps only has 15,000 people, and the fight is by no means their opponent, Schloss really cares about what the other party relies on.
Schloss stared at the Tsunami Legion's military formation for a moment: "I don't feel the existence of the Divine Warriors, what about you?"
The others also shook their heads, when Bloomfield and Darswood ambushed Cayman, it was because the battlefield was full of violent vibrations of source power fluctuations, so it was easy to cover the aura they exuded, but now it is obviously different, the war has not broken out at this moment, if there are divine warriors in the opposite camp, it is impossible to escape their perception.
Schloss pondered for a moment, and then made a decision: "I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you this time, after the war starts, I will transfer the wind warriors in the legion to follow you." ”
Of course, no one objected to this kind of thing, and Shiloss's intention was obvious, that is, he wanted Jarvis and others to lead the wind warriors in the legion to harass the Tsunami Legion, and if the Tsunami Legion did not resist enough, these people could turn into sharp knives and stab the heart of the Tsunami Legion at any time.
The soldiers of the coalition army poured into the canyon like a tidal wave, and the Tsunami Corps' formation at the exit was still standing there like a rock, as if no amount of violent storms could move them even a minute.
The next moment, the torrent of steel collided with the rock, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded over the entire canyon, and countless secret techniques flew back and forth, accompanied by pieces of splashed blood.
As soon as the battle began, it entered the white-hot stage, the coalition side was due to a big victory not long ago, the morale has risen to the peak, and the soldiers of the Tsunami Corps are holding back a lot of strength in their hearts, wanting to regain their dignity in this battle, the two sides are completely fighting hard at all costs, the people around them fall one by one, but no one takes half a step back.
Benedict was still wearing the light blue robes, standing on a small mound and calmly watching the battle ahead, in the initial layout, they had already chosen the battlefield here, but there was a little deviation in the grasp of time, the best result was that they only needed to hold on for about half a day, but the speed of Dio and Jarvis and others to clear the mother body exceeded his expectations, causing the time to advance a little.
Of course, this is not something that Benedict can control, and it is already a blessing in misfortune that there is not too much deviation, as long as he survives this day, the tide of the battle will be reversed in his hands, so even if he fights all the power in his hands, Benedict will not give up this channel.
"My lord, look at the canyon!!" exclaimed one of the guards.
Benedict looked up, hundreds of figures appeared on the steep peaks on both sides of the canyon, and they could reach the peak in such a short time, at least they were also wind warriors, or saint-level powerhouses of other departments, there was no need to guess hard, Benedict knew that these people must be led by saint-level powerhouses, but it was impossible to estimate the specific number of saint-level powerhouses at present.
"It's time for you to get moving, too. Benedict glanced at the warriors behind him, "Remember, you can't let them break through the formation under any circumstances. ”
"Don't worry, sir. The samurai's tone sounded relaxed: "We'll stay as much as we come." ”
Benedict smiled faintly, and did not refute the exaggerated tone of his subordinates, because he knew that these words were actually said to the surrounding warriors, and sure enough, the surrounding warriors were obviously not so nervous after hearing the words of the samurai, and in the barracks, the panic was like a plague, which could spread at any time, so Benedict had to give the warriors firm confidence.
However, Benedict sighed in his heart, he actually needs to use this kind of unruly means to boost morale, if he has a choice, Benedict's pride will never do this, but the current situation is no longer up to him, if he can't intercept the coalition forces at the established location, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Finally, Dio, Jarvis and others led the warriors to rush down the canyon, and circled the Tsunami Legion's military formation from both sides, dividing into several squads for a non-stop assault.
The Tsunami Legion's response was quite conservative, and if Dio and the others were only attacking from a distance, they would be fended off by the ground warriors at the front of the team, and would only launch a fierce counterattack if they were too close.
After a few contacts, although Dio and Jarvis and others also made quite a few gains, killing many Tsunami Legion soldiers, they were never able to break through the military formation, once they showed this intention, they would immediately attract a desperate attack from the saint-level powerhouse on the opposite side.
For a while, the situation was at a stalemate, of course, if the people of Dio and Jarvis could force their way in at any cost, but that would obviously be a bit more than worth the cost.
