Volume 1 The Fall of the King's Power Chapter 130 Tragedy
The Imperial Legion infantry also noticed the boulder in the sky, and they may have known that they were decoys, but they did not retreat.
Maybe the soldiers knew that they couldn't escape from this place full of killing, or maybe they didn't care about life and death, they just wanted to regain their dignity as imperial soldiers here, and they wanted to prove their courage to people, and it was the glory of soldiers to die on the battlefield.
Gladys looked at the Imperial infantry who were desperately delaying the enemy's retreat, and tears of grief welled up in the corners of her eyes.
The boulders crossed the distance of a plain, and at that point they completed their mission, and the boulder fell to the ground, hitting the ground instantly.
The power of the cracked stone hit the ground, and at the moment on both sides of the battlefield. Whether it was the Imperial infantry who were jumping on the back of the drakemon and slashing the drakemon, or the minotaur warriors who retreated on the drowmicoon, they were all wiped out by the impact of the boulder.
In an instant, the earth shook and the earth seemed to be ignited under the bombardment of the boulders, and the vast plains shook like an earthquake, pouring out their anger on those who woke him.
The first to bear the brunt of the bombardment were the huge thorny dragon beasts, their bodies greatly increased the probability of being hit, no matter how these giant beasts fled, they could not escape the sanctions of the boulder.
Ignoring the reprimands of their masters, the drakemons fled in all directions wailing, and the boulder smashed on their backs, and the struck drakemon was knocked down by the boulder without even making a sound.
The minotaur warriors riding on the drakemon did not survive, either they were smashed to pulp on the spot or crushed to death by their own mounts.
The bombardment did not stop, and the boulder fell to the ground like a meteorite, slaughtering all creatures on the plain regardless of faction, good or evil.
The fury of the warriors and the fight to the death are not worth mentioning in front of the boulders, and they will not deviate from the trajectory of their fall for any emotion.
"It's purgatory!"
Russell stood on the hillside in the distance, looking at the battlefield with a look of shock. It was a scene he had never seen before, a scene with a silent awe, and the Empire's trebuchets were working with all their might, and it was a feast of slaughter.
In order to completely wipe out the behemoths of the Abyss army, the soldiers threw the remaining hundreds of boulders in one go, and the bombardment continued, and the death continued.
Maybe a quarter of an hour passed, maybe an hour. The deafening bombardment finally stopped. The battlefield was littered with dust that had been shaken up by boulders, and the dust swirled and drifted into the sky, covering an entire battlefield.
The soldiers of the coalition and the legions, who were not involved in the battle, were watching the dusty battlefield with bated breath, and the dust gradually dispersed with the wind to reveal the appearance of the battlefield.
I saw that the plains were full of corpses of thorny dragon beasts lying on their sides, and there were more or less large pits on their mountain-like bodies, which were obviously cut through by huge stones.
In this bombardment, only the Thorny Dragonmons of the fleeing Minotaur warriors who had originally followed behind Torun escaped this purgatory, and the rest of the Thorny Dragonmons were all killed here!
As for the minotaur warriors who rode on the dragonmon, most of them did not get back up from the battlefield, and they slept here forever with their mounts.
Only a handful of minotaur warriors struggled crookedly from the ground, either lonely or limping outside with each other's arms.
On the contrary, the losses of the Imperial Legion here are not too serious, after all, the human body is small, and the flexible body can dodge the bombardment, and the thorny drakemons that have just escaped on the battlefield have well blocked the falling boulders, resisting most of the damage for the Imperial soldiers.
It's just that under such a blow, the small losses of the legion are only a conclusion drawn in comparison with the enemy army, according to the visual inspection of the students of the rear academy, the imperial infantry who went out in this battle died 10,000 people!
You must know that the total number of fighters involved in the battle was only 20,000, and this time the infantry of the battle legion lost half of its establishment. This is a huge loss that the empire simply cannot bear.
In this war, all the cavalry of the Imperial Legion were killed, and half of the infantry was lost, and the foundation of the empire for decades was squandered at this moment.
The remaining infantrymen staggered to their feet and walked in the direction of the legion.
They were covered with dust, and they didn't say a word and looked indifferent, not that they didn't have sad emotions, but they had exhausted all their emotions in the life-and-death battle just now.
Countless comrades-in-arms who got along day and night died in front of them without saying a word, everywhere there was the loud sound of boulders falling to the ground and the sound of weapons hitting each other, the corners of the mouth were oozing blood because of the battle, and the smell of blood was everywhere in the nose, everyone was rejoicing for their survival and luck, and no one cared about these unimportant factors.
The Imperial infantry and minotaur warriors retreated towards their own camp, they walked slowly past each other, it was no longer important to fight again, this time the battle was already decided, everyone was physically and mentally exhausted and no one wanted to continue fighting, such sacrifices were enough.
