Chapter 497: Rush
γRecruitmentγSet sail for a new round of recruitment!!!!
After the war with the two lords of Red Shadow and Blue Melt, the Darkmoon Territory repaired a fortress on the way to Red Shadow.
The fortress was built 400 years ago during the Beelzebub rebellion, and was abandoned after being breached by the White Night Emperor. Later, Bai Ye fell in the battle of the human world, and Obsidian controlled the Fallen Angel Empire, "divided" the Grimm Taizi to the Dark Moon, and controlled the economic lifeline of the Dark Moon through the hands of the Red Shadow Lord Zhuo Che.
After the battle of Reistown and the defeat of Zhuo Che, under some covert means, the control of the entire Red Shadow Territory has actually fallen into the control of Dark Moon, but Xia still listened to Chen Rui's advice and built two fortresses. One is the Blue Pool Fortress in the Blue Pool Mountains to the west, which is currently guarded by Tim, the leader of the Moon Shadow Legion. The second is this abandoned fortress, named "Moonlight".
The scale of the Moonlight Fortress is not very large, but it relies on the mountains and winding city walls, which is not only a fortress, but also equivalent to a pass.
Behind the Moonlight Fortress is Diko Town, the terrain around Diko Town is rugged and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. Further south, the town of Lacey was a wilderness, unsafe, and an easy road for the army. To the south of the town of Lacey is the Zuihou of the Dark Moon, a barrier to the town of Jumo, and the importance of the town of Diko can be seen.
This time, the Shadow Legion is tasked with breaking through the Moonlight Fortress and occupying the first important stronghold in the Darkmoon Territory, Dico Town.
Under the purple moonlight, Nesta led the cavalry regiment into the territory of Darkmoon, and carefully marched all the way to the vicinity of the Moonlight Fortress.
Looking at the brightly lit moonlit fortress under the hillside, Adjutant General Troey said in a low voice: "General, the whole army is ready, do you want to attack immediately?"
"Wait a little longer, and tell the soldiers, keep in line, keep a valid distance, and don't reveal their whereabouts. "Nesta is waiting for the signal that Nesta should send.
It would be quite difficult for 20,000 cavalry to storm a well-defended fortress, but Nesta was quite confident in completing this task, because the Red Shadow Lord Zhuo Che had already planted an internal response in the Moonlight Fortress, and not only that, but the imperial capital also had an inner line in the fortress. Against the conspiracy of the dark moon, the obsidian plan has not been a day or two, although many of the dark lines buried before have been pulled out by the dark demon, but there are still fish that have slipped through the net.
With these two double insurances, it should be possible to break through the Moonlight Fortress in a coordinated manner, and at present, the Imperial Capital Coalition Army is still far away, although Dark Moon is heavily guarded, but the main army will definitely not be mobilized so quickly, so it is not difficult to take Diko Town in one go.
With the mobility and attack power of 20,000 elite cavalry, as long as they occupy the advantageous location of Diko Town, even if they are killed by the Red Blood or Flame Army. In case he couldn't hold it, Nesta also had absolute confidence and retreated. Of course, before retreating, he will burn and loot the town of Dico, so that the rebels of Darkmoon will know the fate of rebels who rebel against His Royal Highness the Regent!
The first sword to cut into Darkmoon's throat was sent by the "Demon Shadow" under the strongest cavalry legion under the command of the Regent, Nesta Lucifer!
The intelligence was accurate, and the Shadow Cavalry pulled out a few scout points along the way, bypassed the magic traps that triggered the alarm, and sure enough, they approached the Moonlight Fortress without being exposed.
At this moment, most of the lights of the fortress suddenly went out at the same time, and then thick smoke and fire were faintly visible, and a chaotic sound came.
As soon as Nesta's spirits perked up, he saw a signal rushing into the sky, and immediately ordered the whole army to assault...,
With the sound of the horn, columns of cavalry rushed towards the Moonlight Fortress like a torrent, and soon broke through the magic array in front of the fortress and began to storm the main gate.
The fortress heard the alarm of an enemy attack, and some soldiers appeared on the city wall, armed with bows and arrows to attack the cavalry, because it was too dark to see clearly, and the Demon Shadow Legion was well-equipped, it was difficult to cause effective damage.
Soon, the city wall began to have the sound of fighting, it seemed that the inner should be in trouble, the soldiers who shot arrows became fewer and fewer, after the gate was breached, the defenders began to rely on the stubborn resistance of the magic array, and then saw that the general trend had gone, they evacuated one after another, and the Moonlight Fortress was easily occupied by the Demon Shadow Legion at a very small cost of casualties.
A big demon came over with dozens of people, and was immediately surrounded by soldiers, and the big demon hurriedly shouted: "I am my own man!
Nesta had noticed that the Great Demon had led people to kill the defenders of the fortress, and that most of the corpses in the fortress had been killed by these Nesta, and motioned for the soldiers to let the Great Demon come over.
The Great Demon gave a military salute: "General, I am Hadi, a subordinate of Lord Zhuoche, and just now we have successfully completed the order of Lord Lord, by setting fire to the fortress's supplies, causing chaos, and destroying the fortress's magic crystal cannon. β
"Hardy, you've done a great job!" Nesta praised without hesitation, if it wasn't for Neoying's timely launch this time, even if he could take the fortress, he would have paid a heavy price. Although it is a pity that the supplies of the fortress have been burned, now that the Moonlight Fortress has been breached, the logistical supplies from the Red Shadow Territory will be unhindered.
"General, there is one thing...... I want to report that the bodies of Solo and the others sent by the imperial capital have been exposed, and I have no choice but to kill them with my own hands in order to win the trust of the guards, please forgive me!"
Nesta shook his head disapprovingly, the price was almost negligible compared to the successful capture of the fortress: "You have done it very correctly! Don't worry, not only are you not guilty, but you have made a great contribution! Now I am going to lead the army to chase down the defeated army and raid the town of Dico, do you know the current situation of the town of Dico?"
"There are three reinforced guards there, but without the main force of the legion, it will definitely not be able to stop the general, and Darkmoon did not expect to be attacked by a surprise attack before the arrival of His Royal Highness the Regent. At present, the Moon Shadow Legion is still in Xilang Mountain, the main force of the Red Blood Legion is in Darkmoon City, and the main force of the Flame Light Legion is in Jumo Town. However, according to my estimate, after the capture of Diko Town, Darkmoon's main army is estimated to have made some moves, but it will definitely not be able to reach Dico Town in time. β
Nesta bowed slightly, putting away a little suspicion in his heart, this information was very consistent with what he had obtained, and the morale of the whole army was currently strong, and it was just time to rush to Dico Town in one go. As for the Flame Light Legion of the Dark Moon, even if they get the news from here, they won't have time to arrive due to the distance.
"I'll leave a team behind to guard the Moonlight Fortress with you. Kanita, the son of Lord Droche, is currently in the Valley of the Bloodmist, and I have sent a magic signal, and he will be here with his army to meet him as soon as possible. β
Nesta has commanded the army for many years and is not a mediocre talent, although this Hadi is the internal response of the Red Shadow Lord, and his performance is outstanding, there should be no problem, but he is not used to leaving his "back" to "strangers". "And the whole battle to capture Moonshine Fortress seems to be too easy. Just in case, it is better to leave a team of people here, even if Hardy makes any moves, it can be easily suppressed, and besides, Kanita, the son of Zhuoche, has already set out from the Valley of Blood Mist, where he is stationed, and it is only a matter of time before he arrives at the Moonlight Fortress.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hardy immediately saluted, "Obey!"
Nesta nodded with satisfaction and ordered to the lieutenant general Troe: "Immediately reorganize the team and set off towards Diko Town at full speed, we must take Diko Town in one fell swoop before the enemy reacts!"
Looking at the cavalry who disappeared into the night, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of the great demon who had made a "great achievement".
Nesta led his elite cavalry all the way to Diko, and it was the middle of the night and early in the morning, and the cool breeze was biting, and a cold mist was wafting everywhere.
Nesta secretly calculated that although the terrain was not very suitable for cavalry to run, at this speed, it should not be a problem to reach the town of Leia before dawn.
I don't know weishenme, and he has a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart, has he missed something crucial?
That's right!
There are not a lot of corpses in the Moonlight Fortress, the main force of the enemy's guards must have fled, according to the speed of the cavalry, even if they stayed in the Moonlight Fortress for a while, they will definitely catch up with the main force of the defeated army, weishenme only saw sporadic deserters when he left the fortress, and the main force did not see any of them?
The more Nesta thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered: "Slow down!
20,000 cavalry is not a small number, especially in this kind of high-speed running, if you don't slow down and stop directly, I am afraid that it will fall like dominoes.
Just as the speed of the army slowed down, Nesta suddenly heard some strange sounds, and an inexplicable chill arose from his heart.
The sound of bowstrings rang out, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" and the sound of arrows breaking through the air in all directions.
"Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"
"Watch out for enemy archers!"
"Oh no, there's something later!"
Bows and arrows poured down on the shadowriders like a downpour on both sides of the valley, and they didn't know how many enemies there were in the night.
How did Nesta not know that he had been tricked, and with a roar, the power of the Demon Emperor-level domain expanded, turning into two huge wings, wrapping the nearby soldiers, and the arrows fell on the wings, turning into powder and disappearing.
Many powerful people have also begun to use effective defensive measures. But these are only personal liliang, even if it is Nesta's wings, it only protects hundreds of horsemen nearby, the terrain of the nearby valley is rugged and narrow, which is very unfavorable to cavalry combat, which is equivalent to a long dragon placed there as a live target, the arrow seems to have the magic attribute of armor piercing, and it can easily penetrate the leather armor of the cavalry, and the small round shield equipped with the light cavalry cannot effectively protect against this large-scale indiscriminate shooting, there are screams and neighing of horses everywhere, and many soldiers have fallen in the blink of an eye.
"Ansp!" Nesta shouted, and a red light flew up towards the valley at a speed that was eye-catching.
Ansp Greta, the first strong man of the Demon Emperor, the patriarch of the Greta family, the strongest guard specially arranged by Obsidian to be by Nesta's side, only obeyed Nesta's orders alone. The supreme commander in the army of the Demon Realm is not the strongest one, and there are very few strong generals in the Demon Realm who have reached the realm of the Demon Emperor, but without exception, they are all handsome people who are good at strategy and commanding troops.
In this Shijie war, the Demon Emperor and the Demon Emperor are equivalent to heavy weapons, and the army is equivalent to conventional weapons. While individual force is important, the liliang of a team should not be taken lightly, especially the well-trained corps. Unless it is an absolute force gap, no lion will be willing to face a group of wolves who are not afraid of death, especially if the liliang consumption is huge after fighting with the other lion.
The strength of the Demon Emperor level was really powerful, and Ansp appeared above the valley in a blink of an eye, waving his hands continuously, several flames sprayed down, and two of them hit the mountain rocks, and the hard rocks were melted in an instant, and the archers who were ambushed above were all used as coke.
At this time, a slight drizzle suddenly fell in the air, and the flame defense that was enough to melt the rock met some nemesis, and it quickly shrank in the drizzle, and Zuihou actually dissipated without a trace. ...,
Ansp was taken aback, only to hear a woman's shout, a green light has been flying towards this side, Anspuca saw that the other party was menacing, the strength was not under him, he didn't dare to slack off, turned into a red light to meet it.
After a muffled sound, the two colliding rays of light flew upside down, the green light quickly stabilized the figure, the red light seemed to be much more embarrassed, Ansp was secretly shocked in his heart, this woman's breath was obviously the same as him in the first stage of the Demon Emperor, and Liliang was actually still above him!
The woman soon flew over again, and the two rays of light were entangled, and Ansp couldn't get out for a while, let alone be distracted to deal with the ambushed archers, and shouted, "Go!"
Nesta's heart sank, he didn't expect that the other party also had a strong Demon Emperor, and Ansp was not necessarily an opponent, it was obvious that this was a trap, if there was any luck with Diko Town, there was definitely a danger of annihilation, and staying here would only distract Ansp, so he immediately decisively ordered a retreat.
"Turn the horse's head around and retreat!"
Although the dense arrows around him caused a lot of damage to the cavalry, and they were intercepted by the rain of arrows from the ambush soldiers, they should be able to rush out with the impact of the cavalry.
Under Nesta's command, the cavalry turned their horses' heads one after another, and Nesta shouted: "The whole army obeys, the demon shadow charges!"
In an instant, all the cavalry's bodies lit up with a dark red light at the same time, and the speed of running suddenly doubled, and they ran desperately towards the path from which the Moonlight Fortress came.
This is a special skill of the Demon Shadow Legion, using the magic prop jΔ« live horse saddle sheath magic array, a powerful mode that combines manpower and horsepower, in this state, the speed and attack and defense will increase a lot, but there is a certain time limit.
The "Shadow Charge" is the greatest magic weapon for the cavalry regiment to defeat the enemy, and it is the first time that it has been used to escape for its life. The wind-like cavalry marched away in a blood-colored glow and a rain of arrows.
Moments before breaking through the encirclement, Nesta glanced back at Ansp, who was fighting with the green light in the air - without the drag of the cavalry legion, this comrade of the Demon Emperor powerhouse should be able to escape smoothly.
It's just that Nesta, who was intertwined with the rain of arrows and screams, didn't hear the woman's voice faintly in the air behind her.
"Olivith!"
"I'm going to practice my hands well, stop that guy, and a thousand black crystal coins will be yours!"
"Whoop ......". οΌ
