Chapter 264: Seven Heavens and Seven Centuries (5)
Flying in the sky, Ryan had clearly seen that the entire Warren Legion had collapsed, but he still rode on Iron Feather's body and continued to circle a few times, and the more intensive fireball technique really rained on the ground, and the continuous explosions were mixed with countless flames that rose into the sky and still reaped the lives of the enemy without mercy.
Seeing that Iron Feather's physical strength was a little exhausted, Ryan gently stroked the feathers on its neck, signaling that Iron Feather began to descend, and Iron Feather flew directly to the ground from a height of hundreds of meters with its favorite dive, which made Ryan startled. When Ryan jumped off Iron Feather's back and returned to the ground, Iron Feather the Griffon let out a cry of thanks and slowly flew away.
Watching Iron Feather's shadow slowly turn into a small black dot in the sky clouds, Ryan turned his gaze to Serres, who shrugged his shoulders at him, a common move Ryan often did, but Seres actually learned it.
"Let's go, let's go east. Ryan said lightly.
"And what about the rout over here?" asked Serres.
"Time, what I need is time. Ryan explained with a blank face, "They don't want to stop the rout in less than 2 hours, and 2 hours is enough for us to destroy another legion." β
"I see, okay, let's go!" Seres nodded at Ryan to show that he understood what he meant, and then turned back to the archers behind him and shouted, "Go harvest the next group of enemy troops!"
"Kill!" nearly 2,000 shooters shouted in unison, the battle just now boosted their morale, just imagine, with 3,000 against 40,000, and the 3,000 people on their own side have not been fully put into the position, and the real start of shooting is only 1,500, which has already collapsed all the enemy troops on the opposite side, is there anything more exciting than this?
In the past, Orlando personally led the Royal Knights to attack Seke City, and defeated more than ten times his own Senate troops in a battle, and today Ryan has definitely surpassed him in the record created under the Iron Fist Castle, because he only led 3,000 shooters to defeat the 40,000 elites of the Warren Legion, and until the other side has a large-scale rout, the 3,000 shooters under Ryan are still less than 2,000 people who are really engaged in the battle, because the animal power of the Iron Fist Castle is limited, more than half of Serres's men need to go to the battlefield on foot, but before they can reach the battlefield, the battle is overγ
According to the results of the battle, this is equivalent to Ryan defeating 40,000 troops with 1,500 men, and his own side has no casualties at all, except for a few unlucky guys who fell from the back of the ox and were trampled on. Of course, all those who understand military affairs understand that the key to such a result is the Lane Magister, in fact, even without the support of Serres, Lane can completely use the power of one person to destroy the opponent's full army, but it takes a little more time, this is the dominance of the magician on the battlefield, and this battle has also been permanently recorded in history because it officially changed the history of the war of the entire continent.
But no one had time to summarize what had changed in this battle, because Tekken Castle had another enemy, the nearly 60,000 warriors of the Chase Legion that had already launched an attack to the east. At this time, Chase was looking at the eastern wall of the Iron Fist Castle with a solemn face, and sent his warriors in batches of five thousand to attack.
Wearing the Rose Mithril full-body armor that Ryan had made for her, Adela stood on the walls of the Iron Fist Castle with a sword and a shield in hand, and the standard-bearer beside her held Cassano's flag aloft, thus inspiring the Iron Fist Castle guards standing on the walls to fight.
Knowing Ryan's plan, Adela did not leave any reserves at all, and she directly threw the most elite troops on the city wall to maximize the damage to the enemy and reduce her own losses. These soldiers of the Iron Fist Castle Guard, who were dressed in simple enchanted armor, armed with magic weapons that were much sharper than ordinary weapons, and loyal to Ryan, were much stronger in combat power than the warriors sent by Chez, especially now that they were guarding the city walls and fighting from a high position, they had the upper hand.
Chase lost the stone throwing cart last night, and now he can only use a wooden ladder to forcibly climb the wall of the Iron Fist Castle, and the wall of the Iron Fist Castle is not very wide, and the Chase can only use one brigade and one brigade to put 5,000 people on the battlefield in batches, but in this way, it loses the advantage of the Chase Legion in terms of strength.
The equipment is not as good as the others, the troops are not superior, the terrain is also a great loss, and the other party is fighting to defend his homeland, and Chase cannot find any reason to win, but he has no way to retreat now, because the herald he sent finally brought back a depressing news: "The entire army of the Warren army has been defeated!"
At the beginning, because Moses led people to cut off the communication between the two legions of Chase and Warren, so that the two of them could not communicate with each other for a long time, so the news that the Warren army was pressed and beaten by Ryan and finally defeated never reached Chase's side, and it was not until Chases realized that something was wrong, and when he sent a squadron of 500 people to protect the heralds to Warren's position, he realized that his communication channel was cut off by others.
Due to the limited number of troops at hand, Moses wisely evacuated after seeing that Chase sent heavy troops to reopen the communication channel, and it was only at this time that the herald sent by Chase saw the fire of the Warren barracks and the soldiers of the Volyn Legion, who had already fled.
Although he knew that things were not good, the herald still did not dare to break away from the protection of the army, and he saw at least dozens of the corpses of his colleagues along the way, all of which were attacked by the mercenaries on Cassano's side and exposed to the wilderness, but although the herald's move was much safer, he lost the time to pass on the news, and when Chase learned about the recent situation on Warren's side, he had only two options.
Chase is almost all infantry, now in someone else's territory, if you want to leave safely, it is almost impossible, as long as the other party sneaks up on a baggage like last night, these more than 50,000 people will be hungry, Chase did not dare to take this risk, so he chose the second way, that is, to forcibly attack the city.
Since the other party can defeat Warren's legion in such a short time, the main force must be put in, and now Chase is attacking with all his might, maybe he can take advantage of the weakness, as long as he pries open a corner of the Iron Fist Castle, Chase can turn defeat into victory, you must know that the number of troops at hand at his hand completely exceeds the number of the opponent's entire Iron Fist Castle, as long as his soldiers can rush into the city, then everything can be reversed.
Chase was completely guessed by Lane, so he put the strongest defensive Guards Legion on the battlefield in the east, this legion carefully built by Lane really lived up to expectations, and after more than 2 hours of repeated attacks by the Chase Legion, it still did not waver, but instead killed and wounded a large number of Chase Legion soldiers.
By the time Ryan and Seres launched a covering shot at the Chass Legion from the flank with the Archers' Legion victorious, Adela was still standing on the walls of the Iron Fist Castle, the Cassano flag was still fluttering in the wind, and the castle was littered with enemy corpses, but none of the enemy soldiers had stepped on the walls alive.
The dense rain of arrows struck, and the soldiers of the Chase Legion who were moving forward to continue the siege were caught off guard, and in an instant, countless gaps appeared in the neat formation, and Chase looked at the gaps that were getting bigger and bigger, knowing that each gap represented the loss of another of his subordinates. After a quick trade-off, Chase did not hesitate to change the direction of the attack, he let his generals lead 10,000 elite to forcibly attack the Seres archer troops, hoping to defeat this force first and then slowly retreat to maximize the preservation of strength.
In order to block the rain of arrows in the sky, the only choice for the soldiers of the Chase Legion was to line up in a dense formation and raise the shields in their hands, but this kind of formation, which has a fairly good defense against bow and arrow shooting, has become the best target for the Magister Ryan, and Ryan was even a little embarrassed to recite the spell of level 8 magic, but since the other party sent it to the door, then he could only laugh.
When the churning magma began to flow towards the earth, Chase wanted to slap himself hard, he actually forgot that Ryan was a mage, but human beings have never had a situation where mages directly control the battle between the two sides in an internal war, so Chase also didn't have much understanding of what role a mage could play on the battlefield.
When the large drops of magma fell to the ground and ignited everything they touched, Chase finally understood what the Magus could do on the battlefield, and finally understood why his master was so jealous of the magic legion of Mochizuki City and the ** master of the imperial capital, Victor, his carefully trained warriors had no way to do anything in this environment.
Attacking the opponent?The cast Ryan is at least a thousand meters away from them, and if you want to hit the opponent, you must first cross the endless sea of fire. Defense?What are you kidding, a normal shield can hold out the flames of magic?Even a giant shield made of metal will melt under the hot lava. It's a good idea, but how can a person's legs run through the rain of fire? Maybe you have the idea that your body is already burning.
Knowing their situation, the Chass Legion warriors within range of Ryan's magic attack lost their fighting spirit, crying, rolling, pleading, praying for the protection of the gods, but unfortunately, the only choice they had now was the position they had when they died.
