Chapter 693: The Alliance Army's Counterattack (Ask for Recommendation Votes!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
Quest actually wanted to say, "You're wasting your time." But seeing that several leaders of the Alliance Army were in high spirits, he simply held this sentence in his stomach. "It's fine. If you don't try it, how do you know it's useless. ”
In order to get a better view, they not only built a 20-foot-high lookout at the top of a tall building, but also raised a hot air balloon at the top of the lookout.
At a height of nearly eighty feet above the ground, Quest and the mayors of several cities huddled inside the pods of the hot air balloon, overlooking the battle between the monster army and several alliance military formations.
The Ramsay phalanx is similar to the rest of the world, each phalanx is composed of about fifty people, divided into three parts: "forward", "flank" and "core":
The forwards were warriors armed with round shields and short spears, and they were responsible for engaging the enemy in hand-to-hand combat;
The flanks are long-range shooters armed with bows and crossbows, responsible for striking the enemy;
The core is a reserve team commanded by the captain of the phalanx, which is responsible for changing formations at any time, as well as replacing wounded forwards and flanks.
The only difference from the phalanx that Quest had seen before was that the core of the Ramsay phalanx would be equipped with five or six alchemists. They were completely at the captain's behest, and could not only rescue the wounded, but also kill and injure their opponents by throwing alchemical potions.
The first to engage the Raven on Fourth Street was the first phalanx in Emerald Wood City. They were all dressed in dark green armor, with the vanguard warriors wearing metal armor and the flank and core warriors wearing lighter cowhide armor.
With the captain's command, the crossbowmen on the flanks were the first to rain down arrows on the enemy. Many of the Raven Men who resisted with only crude shields fell to the ground with several arrows.
It's just that the vitality of this monster is much higher than that of ordinary Ramsey. They quickly scrambled to their feet, and together with their companions, they charged towards the phalanx of Emerald Wood City.
"Advance against the enemy!" the captain of the phalanx immediately ordered.
The warriors armed with shields and short spears immediately responded, taking a step forward to stop the Raven Men from charging. Not only did they slap their opponents on the cheeks with their shields, but the short spears in their hands also stabbed out through the gaps, bringing out a lot of blood.
Immediately afterward, several alchemists in the core of the formation threw out the blazing plastic bottles in their hands, scorching the monsters that wanted to rush towards the forward warriors. At the same time, the crossbowmen switched from flat to projectile and continued to strike at the enemy.
The flanks lure the enemy, the strikers resist the enemy, and the core of the formation assists, and the "three-plate axe" of the Cuimu City phalanx stunned the crow people at once. The monsters also gradually understood that the opponent who fought them was not a death squad fighting on their own, but a regular army.
"But that's it," the mayor of Black Willow who was standing in the pod commented, "and the other phalanxes will press it together, and it won't take much effort for that guy and monster to die here." After all, this is a serious army. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the others, as if seeking recognition. However, no one but him would have judged arbitrarily so early. They were all still watching the battle on the battlefield.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Quest said to himself.
As if to confirm what he was thinking, the Raven suffered an initial setback, but was not defeated. The monsters were also beginning to get used to this style of fighting, and their counterattacks were surprisingly and terrifying.
Finding that he couldn't break through the phalanx head-on, the Raven changed his mind and began to approach both sides of the street. Just like they usually frolic and hunt on the cliffs, they use their sharp claws to clasp the wall and run quickly on the wall.
Then the ravens leapt from the top of the wall and pounced on the crossbowmen who rained down on them. Crossbowmen who are in close contact with monsters and lack the weapons and skills they need are not their enemies at all.
In just a few breaths, the group of crossbowmen were all "dumb and fire", and many of them were even disemboweled and torn their throats by the sharp beaks and claws of the Raven Man. The phalanx of Emerald Wood City fell into chaos all of a sudden.
Rao is the captain of the phalanx, and he has experienced a lot of battles, but he has never faced an enemy who can fly up and down walls before. Originally, he was still thinking about whether he could shrink back the strikers and protect the manpower on the flanks and the core of the formation.
However, the Raven Man launched an attack on the opposing striker before him, and the monsters still jumped down from the wall, crushing several of the striker warriors down at once. Although several Raven Men were killed by the short spears in the process, almost all of the frontmen of the phalanx were pressed to the ground and rubbed, and all of them were killed by the monsters in a short time.
"This ......," the mayor of Blackwillow could no longer speak.
was full of confidence just now, but reality gave him an old punch in the blink of an eye. You know, the warriors of Emerald Wood are the most elite force in the Alliance. And overturning the Jadewood City phalanx of more than fifty people, the evil crows only lost less than ten people.
Such battle damage was difficult for him to accept. If the battle loss ratio of the Ramsay people is like this in the face of the monster army, then the army they have united will probably not even be able to survive this battle.
And this is just a group of evil crows, according to the information gathered before, there are still hard stubble such as the Blazing Shadow Beast and the Demon Transformation Mechanical Chocobo in the monster army. Ordinary humans simply can't match it.
What's more, the robber who commanded the monster army hadn't made a move yet, and the robber's master, the emperor, had not yet emerged from the protruding cape. Even if they desperately resisted the monster army, how should the robber generals and emperors deal with it?
"How long will it take for the Storm Mecha to activate," Green, the leader of the Five Cities Alliance, looked at the fat mayor of Soft Maple City, "When we can hold up two more hourglasses at most, if there is no way, then Soft Maple City will definitely not be able to hold it." ”
As he spoke, there was a hint of anxiety in his eyes. In fact, he was already relieving himself when there were two hourglasses. If it weren't for the fact that the battle line had been spread out now, he would even have the idea of ordering the army to withdraw from Soft Maple City. After all, that way can still preserve some strength, so as not to lose the family's wealth.
"I ...... I ......"
The mayor of Soft Maple stopped talking. Telling a lie is to make up for it with a series of lies, and he didn't say that the Storm Mech was "malfunctioning" before, and now there is no way to explain this fact.
"Withdraw your army and let the scorpion cannons and ballistas suppress the enemy in the rear," Quest said in a loud voice, not to relieve the embarrassment of the fat mayor, but to show his strength, "My people will temporarily 'withstand' the monster army, and the problem of the storm mecha can be solved by engineers on my side." ”
