Chapter 238: The Dormant Monsters (4)
Location, the Great Plains outside the Gulong Mountains of Bangguo. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info layers of mountains cast a folded shadow on the earth, even if the sun is in the sky, the coolness of the shadow is still eternal. In times of peace, it would have become a famous tourist destination for the entire continent of Gedia.
But now, under the lush turf, buried the corpses of unknown decaying soldiers and rusty weapons, the fiery red flowers that devour human flesh grow unusually luxuriantly, as if they were demonic flowers grown by sucking human flesh, with a kind of seductive power.
If only if, the reality only confirms the harsher truth. Even picking up a handful of loess on the ground can pick up bits and pieces of bones and broken teeth, and it hurts to hold it in your hand.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, there is no way to return to the status of a tourist saint, and it is destined to become a victim of history and a place that will always be feared by people. And to this day, the strife between the various lords of the state is still unended. At this moment, the battle between the two lords will begin here.
One side has gathered nearly 10,000 troops, thousands of steel horses are roaring and roaring, and rows of magicians are in the rear of the battle formation as preparations, and the magic tricks of the strategic level have already been prepared, and they can be thrown out at the first moment of the enemy's appearance, causing obvious casualties. Tall turrets had been built on the highlands, and the magic cannon, made of many extremely delicate parts of the magic guide, hideously exposed its deadly black barrel mouth. There are also shooting fortresses that towering above the sky with flames, which is a pure form of attack that makes an all-round dominance.
This was originally used as a means of confrontation with the demons, but at this time, it was forcefully used in the conquest between humans.
Isn't it the [King's Domain] in front...... Standing at the front of the battle formation, a man in gold-colored armor thought. He is one of the few of the more than a dozen lords of the state who has a large territory and also has a great young lord, the lord of the sword.
Of course, as a young lord, he also had the ambition to unify the country, and I don't know when the country has been mired in the quagmire of war for too long, and when he notices it, it has greatly weakened the quality of life of the people, and it cannot be reconciled. "Live and work in peace" is just a term that exists in legends and history, and the people of every state are ready to never return home when they go out.
Unable to see it, Leona, the lord of the Sword, thought so, and clenched his fists in resentment. One of the main culprits of this situation was that the royal family, who had done nothing back then, was immersed in the wine pond meat forest alone, thus losing the best grasp of the checks and balances of power. As a result, the power of the ministers rose to prominence, and they quickly became an existence beyond the control of the state.
This was the first prototype of the state that formed the current state of strife. The lords of various places are the descendants of the ministers who divided the territory back then, of course, there are also those who have been betrayed, usurped, and destroyed, one by one the lords have risen, one by one the lords have declined, the characters are still endless, and the life of this land is becoming more and more desolate.
Just like the current Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the territory of the imperial family has been weakened to a rather narrow point, although the small and indeed very rich land, grain and industrial raw materials are produced in large quantities, and because of the last "righteousness" name, even if the general territory is coveted, it will not rashly come to attack it, after all, from a secular point of view, they are still courtiers and the other party is still the royal family.
And Leona, of course, also made up his mind, gave up this "righteousness", and didn't care about the world's opinion of his own wind or anything at all, and insisted on gathering troops to bring down the royal domain. In that case, you will be able to have a large rear base, and the territory of the entire state can be slowly mapped.
He also did a lot of homework, so he evaluated the comparison of the combat power of the two. Although the royal domain is rich in land and assets, due to its small area and the fact that the descendants of the royal family have also inherited the genetic components of insatiable greed and flower appreciation, the assets of the entire royal domain are simply to support the extravagant life of the royal family. The poor and weak people could not recruit soldiers, and there were only 2,000 soldiers who could fight, and they were also equipped with very worn weapons, which might have been even fewer given the dissent of the royal family.
And he has more than 10,000 strong soldiers on his side, and he is so well-equipped that he has almost spent all his savings, and he has done a good job of sympathizing with his subordinates' ideological work, so I believe that all the guys here are loyal to each other.
Even as a lord, he personally led the soldiers to charge into battle, such an obvious situation is opposed, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to lose.
Leona was not a "novice" to warfare, and his reputation for being brave and good at fighting was already spreading around his territory. Although young, he has spent more than ten years in the war, and it is not without a brilliant record of victory with fewer enemies. Generally speaking, as long as you are sure that you have the same amount of combat power as your opponent, victory is almost a certainty. Leona himself was conscious and conceited.
He definitely did not underestimate the enemy, even against an incompetent opponent like the Imperial Family, he did his best, and sent almost all the combat forces except for the defense of the territory, so you can imagine how seriously he took this matter.
It's because I've heard strange rumors. Among the many lords, there are also many people who have gained power through a coup d'état by force, they are originally as despicable as bandits, and of course there is no morality at all. It's almost certain that they'll attack the realm.
In fact, there are indeed a few guys who launched an attack on the royal domain not long ago, but it is a lord with an extremely small territory around the royal domain, who has sent a team of 3,000 people with broken weapons, and if it really wants to fight, I don't know who will win and who will lose.
However, the army lost news as if it had sunk into the sea. It was like a small pebble, projected into the embrace of the sea without hesitation, because the difference in size was so great that even the churning of the waves could not be seen, and it disappeared into the vast ocean.
It was the suspicion of comparison, and the fact that he had not been able to calm down quietly, that Leona had taken such great pains to prepare an army of such magnitude. Even if the team of 3,000 people was ten times stronger, it would not be worthy of a charge of his own, and Leona had such a strong self-confidence.
In the face of sheer numbers, all stratagems are just small means.
He waited, and at a certain moment, at the end of his vision, the figure of the army appeared in Mougin. The feeling of broken equipment as expected, the depressed morale, and even the guys who fled halfway to this side were killed by the knights who were hovering around them.
It was clear that the enemy was approaching her, but Leona felt a sense of relief. As the commander of one side of the war, there is no more reassuring thing for you than for the enemy to be as you expected. If the absolute result of the royal domain is really like this, then the balance of victory has already tilted more than half in this direction.
Magic roared, cannons roared, flying fortresses suspended in the sky fired mercilessly, and the cavalrymen at the forefront of the battle formation, with the heavy armor of the Iron Horse, had already placed their spears horizontally, set up their positions, and once the covering attack was over, they were ready to charge without stopping. At that moment, Leona cold-blooded and mercilessly launched the order to attack, and with an order, I don't know how many lives were harvested by this swing of the scythe.
The attacks landed in the enemy's area without any mistakes, and the dust raised obscured the view for a moment. Although it is invisible, the screams coming from it can already say a lot of things. The heavy cavalry then burst in, their steel hooves cracking like firewood, and the invincible heavy cavalry began to slaughter themselves. Leona closed his eyes with a sigh, even though he was an enemy, he felt strange about the fight between fellow humans.
One minute passes, two minutes passes...... Leona opened her eyes suddenly, and looked around in a cold sweat.
It was still a one-sided situation, and the attacks of their own side, whether they were artillery fire or magic attacks, were ruthlessly grabbing the lives of the enemy all the time, and from the perspective of the soldiers, the all-round artillery coverage gave them sufficient self-confidence, and they firmly believed that their own side with such firepower could not see the possibility of defeat.
So they didn't find out. Leona, the young hero, with his far-sighted vision, was the first to see something different.
Within the range of such artillery fire, even if the damage was minimized, he had seen the attack fall into the crowd with his own eyes. Using perceptual magic, you can also clearly perceive the disappearance of life, which is obviously a good enemy, well-equipped and pervasive heavy cavalry, facing the enemy army with broken wealth and equipment is simply a crushing feeling.
No matter how you look at it, the number of enemy troops killed and wounded has far exceeded the number of three thousand, and it is constantly climbing at a fierce speed at the moment.
There are more than 3,000 enemies?!
But when the number of kills and injuries was estimated to easily exceed 30,000, Leona finally realized that it was not a problem with intelligence. There are no more incompetent scouts in their own territory, and it is impossible to misestimate the number of enemies tenfold. And with the small territory of the royal domain, it is impossible to support such an army, and it is impossible for other lords to send reinforcements for it - there is no point in helping the incompetent royal family, and it is also difficult to protect whoever is on Leona.
It's a matter of my own cognition. There was something that was miscalculated from the very beginning.
Before she knew it, Leona suddenly saw the end of the dust, and the figure of the enemy was slowly emerging. So he had to seriously face the fact that his heavy cavalry had been completely depleted.
There is a chance in everything. Although the heavy cavalry wore heavy armor without the slightest gap, after all, some of them were slightly thinner in the iron sheet, and it was possible to penetrate them even if they were struck several times with a broken weapon.
Such sacrifices, I don't know how many people will be stacked at the cost. Three hundred, five hundred, but no matter what the ratio was, Leona's thousands of heavy cavalry regiments were completely consumed in such a savage manner.
Realizing this, Leona almost fell into a panic for a moment, but he punched himself hard to force himself to cheer up.
Lost. He knew the answer in his heart. Tightening his reins, he roared loudly at the soldiers who had begun to become flustered: "Don't panic, small ones, concentrate our strength, we can still kill them!"
Leona obviously meant to retreat, and when he learned of the current situation, he did not force his subordinates to fight for victory, which also reassured the soldiers. So they quickly gathered their troops, arranged them in the shape of a sharp cone, and planned to escape from this place of right and wrong.
only to find that he could no longer escape.
The enemy army poured out like a flood from the front, from the rear, from the left, from the right, from any point of view that could be touched, and in an instant surrounded Leona and them. Even if he kept killing with overwhelming momentum, he couldn't see where the end of the enemy's array was.
In the face of absolute numerical crushing, all stratagems are just small means.
This is the sentence I thought of earlier, I didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon.
There were so many enemies that Leona's army could barely resist at first, but the number of enemies encountered was so large that the sharp edge of the array's sharp cone gradually lost its sharpness. Inevitably, it began to take on the appearance of a rout.
Leona was surrounded by his own soldiers, and his mind had become so confused that he couldn't think of anything.
At one point, he looked back. He was pushed up by the crowd, so he could see from above. By this moment the cover of dust had disappeared, and for the first time he had seen all the approximately numbers of the enemy.
Although I saw it, I still couldn't estimate it.
Not only around him, but even in the Gulong Mountain Range, far away, there are countless enemies emerging one after another. In comparison, the 10,000 people here are like a small island floating in the ocean, too small to look pitiful.
"Oh my God. ”
A faint sigh of despair overflowed Leona's mouth unconsciously, and there was no time when he could feel his powerlessness more clearly than he did now.
In the darkness, the monster opened his scarlet eyes and smiled in a strange sweat.
"The Demon King of ****", Segur Satan.
In a real sense, the testimony that "the combat power of the Demon King is equivalent to one or more demon armies" has been realized. (To be continued.) )
