Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 10 The Battle of the East Coast
The battle between modern knights and ancient knights is fierce.
The super-heavy tank was punctured and exploded, and the soldiers wearing runic armor were smashed into pulp.
All of this happened in a matter of minutes, and when the smoke and white fog dissipated, a battlefield strewn with corpses was revealed.
This time it was the victory of the modern knights, who broke through the resistance of the Rune-Armored Knights after paying a terrible price.
The surviving super-heavy tanks ran over the Cangchao position.
The tanks of the Middle-earth coalition began to be launched and prepared for battle.
The Fenrir forces of the Holy Kingdom were already following behind the Super Heavy Tanks.
On the Cangchao position, a large number of underground passages were opened in a burst of dust, and countless giant wolf monsters were driven out and launched an attack on the Middle-earth coalition army.
These giant wolf monsters are very similar to those strange creatures from the ice fields, but the former are larger and wear various jade pendants.
Those jade pendants were the means used by the Cang Dynasty to control these giant wolf monsters.
The machine gun turret of the super heavy tank began to strafe, the main gun roared, and Fenrir's troops crossed the tank units and fought the giant wolf monsters.
The Cang Dynasty army once again dispatched a runic knight order.
Their addition made the battlefield turbulent for a while, and the battle began to stalemate. Both sides are constantly adding new blood to this flesh mill.
In the end, the coalition forces won the battle by a narrow margin.
The troops continued to advance towards the Cangchao position.
Due to the heavy artillery attack, the forward positions of the Cang Dynasty suffered heavy losses, had little resistance, and were quickly captured.
The Middle-Turkish coalition forces temporarily stopped, repaired themselves in place, and consolidated the positions they had captured.
。
"The battle report is as above." A herald knelt in front of the tent.
"Stand down." The man in the tent said.
"Whoa!" The herald gave up and left.
"Aiqing, is there any other way to turn the tide of the battle?" The empress of the Cang Dynasty quietly came to the tent at the front line.
On the sand table in the center of the tent, the chess pieces representing the Cang Dynasty army are succeeding or retreating.
“。。。 Your Majesty, the minister deserves death, and the minister has no power to return to heaven. ”
Marshal Temujin, who was in charge of the front-line troops, said with great self-reproach.
The Royal Rune Knights had already been dispatched, but they still failed to turn the tide of the battle, but instead increased casualties and depleted the Empire's hole cards, which in his opinion was all due to his own command error.
How could you not understand in advance, how could the Runic Knights confront those Iron King Eight head-on?
Or is he too ignorant and confident.
"Well, get up. This is the fateful calamity of our dynasty, and I have no choice but to respond to it. The Empress of Cang Dynasty shook her head, as if she had made up her mind to do something.
"Your Majesty, never, never! The minister can lead the stone statue army to fight back desperately, strive to force back the enemy army, open the momentum of our army's defeat and retreat, and change the tide of the battle! ”
"But how long can this be delayed? How long will it be before our army will once again be powerless to return to the sky? And how many warriors of the empire will die in vain? ”
"This..."
"What the empire needs is time, and that's the only way to do it now."
"But..."
"No, but I have made up my mind, and Aiqing doesn't need to persuade me."
The Empress got up and left the tent under the escort of the Praetorian Guard.
。
The Empress rode through the line of defense in the royal chariot to the huge altar built on the outskirts, and by this time the priestly procession was ready.
"Visiting Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live!"
A white figure knelt down.
"Flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The Empress stepped out of the royal carriage and walked to the altar.
There were special female officials who dressed her in white sacrificial clothes.
Two priests approached with strangely shaped daggers in their hands.
When the Empress reached the center of the altar, they dissolved her hands with daggers.
Blood began to drip onto the altar, and the priests began to recite the ancient words of the nomads.
Those ancestral tributes, those epics, those long stories.
As the blood continued to flow out, the empress's face became more and more pale, but she still held on.
The bright red liquid flows into the grooves of the altar, forming a totem.
That was the original totem of the ancient Cang people.
In the ethereal voices of countless priests, the heavens and the earth began to change.
The sun was obscured by dark clouds, and the wind began to how.
Several cowhide drums painted with runes were pushed out and began to clatter.
"Bull and Tortoise hereby beg your ancestors to appear! With the ancient Agufan contract, please come to the world and save us and other people of the Cang tribe! The Empress mustered up her strength and said loudly.
With that, he fainted and fell in the middle of the blood-colored altar.
I don't know how long later, a man dressed in beast armor, with runes painted all over his body and eyes in a dark place, suddenly appeared on the altar.
As soon as he appeared, the bleeding palms of Bull and Tortoise healed quickly, and their pale faces were slowly recovering.
It's just that she's still asleep, showing no signs of waking up.
Warriors in various armors constantly appear at the altar.
The priests were all on their knees and praying reverently.
These people who suddenly appeared soon began to form a sequence, and began to move quickly away from the altar towards the front line.
They didn't walk, they drifted.
The Empress was snatched away by the female forbidden army.
。
Front.
Inside the headquarters, the commanders of the Middle-Turkish coalition were making a final confirmation of the offensive plan.
Just then, a communications soldier ran in.
"Report! Observation Tower No. 3 urgently reported that a large number of unknown troops appeared in front of the enemy formation! ”
"What unknown class?" An officer asked.
"I don't know, they asked a chief to go and check it out!"
“。。。 Take the lead, I'll go with you. ”
The officer put on his helmet and walked out of the command headquarters, followed by two members of the guard. They followed the communications corps through the winding trenches to the foot of a sturdy tower.
The walls of this tower are not only equipped with metal armor, but also inscribed with several alchemical matrices for defensive purposes.
"Sir! I'm the Chief Inspector of Tower Three, William! A man in a dark gray military uniform saluted and said. The epaulettes represent that he was a lieutenant, and the color of the clothes indicates that he was a soldier of the Rhine Kingdom.
The lieutenant pointed to the target. The officer finished speaking and walked over to the observation glasses.
"That, sir, it's all those things on the other side."
“。。。”
The officer looked silently at the Cangchao position.
There was a tight military formation of black oppression, and the eyes of the soldiers who formed the military formation were all black holes, as if they could devour people's souls.
That's definitely not an ordinary soldier. It could even be something terrible.
The officer frowned, left the telescope and raised his head.
"Very good lieutenant, your debriefing is timely."
After saying that, the officer hurried back to the headquarters.
The battle plan was canceled, and now all the front-line troops are seizing every time to start preparing for the possible outbreak of the next battle.
Suddenly a loud horn sounded in the distance, and the military formations began to move.
"Fire! Fire now! Fire on those formations! "The artillery commander was kind-hearted as soon as he received the order.
He could vaguely tell from the tone of the commander who was delivering the order what a terrifying thing it was.
Countless shells drowned the formations in a blast.
However, the tattered bodies of those soldiers still stood and kept moving forward, as if they were undead warriors.
Only a few, completely annihilated in the shelling just now, can be seen from the fact that there are some gaps in the military formation.
Fenrir's troops pounced into the formation.
In a battle, the enemy soldiers did not dwindle much, and Fenrir's forces were completely destroyed.
This time, the will of the human soldiers on the front line began to waver uncontrollably.
None of them may be clear about what these people are, but that doesn't prevent them from calling them undead soldiers.
Yes, the undead, only the undead who have come back from the dead can be immortal, and only then will they have eyes as black as the abyss.
The frightened soldier did not obey the command and began to shoot, and firing without being within the firing range would not have been able to deal effective damage, let alone these undead.
Some soldiers simply squatted in the trenches with their heads in their hands and shivered.
The command, having learned of this situation, could only order the removal of a part of the soldiers whose will had already wavered and fill it with the legions of undead warriors in the reserves.
The appearance of the Titan Mechanic Gagantel to the front line boosted morale to a certain extent, and finally prevented the frontline troops from collapsing before the enemy even arrived.
The artillery on Gaguntel's body began to attack, and various types of alchemy cannonballs exploded in the Cang Dynasty military array.
In an instant, various colors dyed the distance in an eerie appearance, and the military formation was visibly damaged, and the undead priests began to use their strength to fight against Gagantel.
Countless bolts of lightning, cavalry projections attacked the giants. The alchemy matrix on the giant's body flickered frequently.
However, a giant could not make the balance of war fall, and the enemy's army eventually advanced to the position of the Middle-earth coalition.
The undead warriors and undead spirits began to engage each other in close combat.
The number of undead seemed endless, and after hours of stubborn resistance, the Middle-earth coalition forces had to retreat.
The Knights of the Decay Campaign also joined the fray.
In an instant, countless decaying trees grew in the enemy's ranks, polluting and devouring the undead soldiers around them.
The undead priests split their men and began to use the flames against the knights.
After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Middle-earth coalition forces were defeated by the endless tide of undead and had to retreat to the west bank with a large number of casualties.
The troops on the west bank had already prepared, building a steel defense line engraved with alchemical matrices and stuffed with fortress artillery to deal with the undead army that might cross the river to attack.
The two sides are at a stalemate on both sides of the river. The undead did not take advantage of the victory, but simply stood silently outside the range of the artillery. Like a wall along the bank of a river
This battle on the east coast can be said to have ended in the defeat of the Middle-earth coalition forces.
After the end of this battle, the whole world returned to calm, the large-scale conflict ended, and everyone was preparing for what was about to happen and what was to come.
