125. Perception on the battlefield
In fact, when the soldiers of the second squad found that there were only five demons attacking the camp at night, everyone felt that the battle was a little unprepared, but it was not very hot.
The second squad faced five demons, and as long as they were properly commanded, they could be defeated one by one.
What's more, after Surdak became the leader of the sixth squadron, he also used his position to get five more durable tower shields for the second squadron.
This kind of shield can only be obtained in the warehouse of the logistics department of the expeditionary force, the whole shield is square, the surface of the shield is covered with three-edged iron nails-like spikes, and the shield is extremely strong, usually only heavy infantry in chariots can use this heavy shield, but the soldiers of the second squad have it. The Divine Blessed Body', their own physique and strength have been greatly enhanced, and their endurance and physical recovery have also increased exponentially, so for them, this heavy tower shield is no longer a burden during the march, and with this tower shield, they are more calm when facing evil spirits.
The five warriors held tower shields and took turns to resist the attacks of the demons, and silver runes flashed on the tower shields from time to time, neutralizing most of the demons' attacks.
They are well-founded, not afraid of hand-to-hand combat with demons of more than three meters, and occasionally the brave raise their swords to fight back, although each counterattack will be embarrassed by the demons' next fierce attack, but these shield-wielding warriors are constantly trying.
The 'Divine Blessed Body' brings them not only an increase in strength and physique, but also an increase in confidence and will to fight.
He Boqiang and Surdak cooperated with each other, preparing to kill the evil ghost in front of them as quickly as possible.
But this evil ghost is the strongest captain in the patrol, although he has been injured repeatedly, but with his own strong strength, he has withstood most of Surdak and Augustus's attacks, and he is covered in black demon skin and releases layers of demonic energy like black flames, this black demonic energy surrounds its body like flames, and the injuries on the demon captain's body are actually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he Boqiang and a few people are in a stalemate for a while.
Originally, the most worried was the two fighters in the team who were responsible for keeping watch at night on the periphery, but after the battle started on this side of the camp, the two soldiers of the squad quickly returned to help, so that everyone could rest assured, this demon team actually avoided the two night warriors and chose to sneak into the camp secretly.
If He Boqiang hadn't discovered the evil ghost infiltrating in advance, once he was attacked by the evil ghost, I am afraid the consequences would be unimaginable.
……
The addition of five female swordsmen from the Advanced Swordsman Academy did not immediately change the stalemate of the battle.
Although they have excellent weapons, they do not know how to work with the soldiers of the second squad.
Although they have superb swordsmanship, they have no actual combat experience, and they rushed into the battle rashly, but they disrupted the tacit cooperation between the soldiers of the second squad.
At the same time, those evil spirits, with their keen sense of smell on the battlefield, immediately discovered that these female swordsmen were the best breakthrough.
Although several female swordsmen were fierce in their sword styles, the demons were completely able to kill them with their own great strength.
Even the female swordsman has to deal with the overwhelming attack of the evil spirits, and she cannot perform any fancy swordsmanship, so she can only grit her teeth and use the exquisite Western thin sword in her hand to disassemble the thunderous continuous blows of the evil ghosts.
Looking at the kind of Western thin sword with a blue blade, which was constantly shattered under the serrated axe of the evil spirit, the infantry soldiers chasing behind jumped one by one, and they didn't know whether they felt sorry for these female swordsmen who were constantly breaking down, or they were distressed about the excellent quality of the fine sword in their hands.
The demons were pressed under continuous pursuit, and the female swordsmen retreated again and again.
Several shield warriors from the second squad immediately caught up and used the tower shields in their hands to withstand the fierce attack of the demons.
The heavy blows of the demons were in front of the shields of the soldiers of the second squad, and the offensive could not be carried out continuously, and immediately became clumsy and weak.
These warriors are like turtles with shrunken heads, hiding their bodies behind the shield as much as possible, and every time the demons attack, the squad fighters only adjust their defensive posture slightly, but the defensive effect is obvious, and the demons have no way to take these shield warriors.
Every time the demon casts a slash that splits the mountain, the tower shield in the hands of the warriors will surface a silver glow to block the demon's attack.
……
Miss Hathaway wears a thorn-tailed crystal lion skin armor, which is the most powerful of the female swordsmen.
At this time, she saw the cooperation of He Boqiang, Surdak and Augustus, and figured out that there was no need to face the evil ghost from the front, hiding behind the shield warrior, and letting the shield warrior block the attack of the evil ghost in front, and the swordsmen took advantage of their unpreparedness to attack, and they could reap good results.
Then she led a few female swordsmen to change their strategy and handed the front to the shield-wielding warriors, the silver light flickering frequently in the night like fireworks, and the demon warriors suppressed their anger, but they could not continue to move forward.
At this time, as He Boqiang found the flaw, he raised his hand and smashed a shield blow on the hideous face of the demon captain.
The spears in the hands of Augustus and Cagle pierced the side of the demon captain, and the two of them took advantage of the situation to fork the demon captain, and with all their strength broke the demon captain back, and nailed it to the trunk of a tree.
Surdak jumped high on a tree branch and severed the demon's head with his knight's sword.
Then with a vigorous wave of his hand, all the second squad of warriors surrounded the other demon.
He Boqiang took over from the original shield warrior to block the demon's attack, Augustus and Cagle used their spears to block the demon's stab, and the rest of the warriors took advantage of the chaos to stab the demon to death.
After the two demons fell in an instant, the battle became much easier.
The five shield warriors took turns to block the attack of the three evil ghosts, and the female swordsmen also mastered some combat tricks at this time, and the female swordsman with a round face stabbed a demon with a Western thin sword, but because she was too nervous, after the Western thin sword in her hand stabbed the evil ghost, she did not withdraw in time, and was elbowed by the evil ghost, and the exquisite Western thin sword was broken.
"Well, you demon actually broke my sword......"
After the round-faced female swordsman retreated, she looked at the demon with half a sword blade in her chest, and her face turned pale with anger.
I could only stand by and watch the soldiers of the squad kill the demons one by one with no fancy basic movements.
The round-faced female swordsman who fell silent secretly pulled Hathaway and motioned for her to stop and see how the second team used the most effective means to cleanly kill the remaining demons.
The female swordsman suddenly found out with some frustration that what she had worked so hard to learn in the academy had no effect on the battlefield, which was completely different from the martial arts arena, where the simplest killing moves were often the most powerful.
Two quarters of an hour later, the demon sneak attack ended, and the five demons were quickly picked up by the soldiers of the second squad.
One thing that has always plagued Surdak is that when these demons are fighting with other squads of infantry warriors, once they have an irreversible defeat, they will decisively use the viscous blood in their bodies as fuel, and quickly ignite themselves to release layers of black flames, which have extremely strong devouring power, which can be devoured and turned into ashes by infantry soldiers in an instant, and they cannot be resisted.
But the demons who fought with the second squad never seemed to have singled themselves out. Burn, this made him a little incomprehensible.
Augustus believed that the silver rune of the 'Shield of Blessing' suppressed the black flames on the demons, but it was impossible to verify whether this was true or false.
……
The battle broke out suddenly, and after only two quarters of an hour, it ended quickly.
Standing on the sidelines, gasping for breath, Miss Hathaway saw that the warriors did not stop there.
As soon as the battle was over, they were busy disposing of the loot, and of course the black skins on the demons had to be peeled off by Surdak himself.
Miss Hathaway withdrew her rapier back into the scabbard, looked at the messy battlefield in front of her, and couldn't help but reach out and cover her sex. Sense's lips, I didn't feel anything at the beginning of the battle, but now that the battle has stopped, there are five headless demon corpses lying in the camp, these evil ghosts are also skinned bloody, and the open space on this side of the camp is completely like the Shura field in hell, enduring the nausea in my stomach, retreating to the side under the big tree to breathe fresh air, and my heart seems to be better.
Among the other female swordsmen, there were also those who couldn't hold back and ran to the side to vomit.
It was under such circumstances that the night raid ended, and when the five female swordsmen woke up early in the morning and walked out of the tent, they found that the five headless demon corpses had all been disposed of, and only blood stains remained in the glade.
