Chapter 32: The Fool (2)
The location of the decisive battle was finally set in the Brim Field, which is also where the Alliance Army is now stationed, which made Soth feel a little surprised, after all, they were also ready to attack Sassen, but they didn't expect that Argus would dare to go out of the city to fight them, does that guy really have such confidence?
While skeptical, everyone felt very uncomfortable. 【】##看xiao说必去##
Three days of preparation is not long, but Alan and Scott still feel a little rushed, it can also be said that they are not very sure about the outcome of this battle, after all, the other party is Argus, the man who is now standing at the apex of the empire, and even the apex of the world!
Over the course of three days, the armies of both sides were massed in the Brim Field, and as the lords had predicted, the necromancers finally chose to help Argus, perhaps since they chose to be enemies of the Dark Mage, even if they were used by Argus many times, even if they were dissatisfied, their position was already predestined. They are destined to be regarded as Argus's accomplices, and if Argus fails, they will probably not end much better.
Based on this concern, the necromancers seem to see this battle as a major battle for their survival, and are forced to use all the strength he has left.
And compared to those necromancers, the clear and water-like death knight army made the soldiers of the alliance army feel uneasy, that number, even more than the soldiers of the alliance army, when they saw this spectacular lineup, some people woke up to what Alan and Scott said before, [The first three battles are just the foreplay of this Jiao Feng. ]
Indeed, the weight of those three cities, which were only guarded by two thousand death knights, in this decisive battle, was at best a warm-up for the event, but there was also a faint hint of the idea of Argus, that guy may not care about those three cities at all, he was absolutely sure that the entire Union army would be annihilated here.
If someone had mentioned it before, some people might have felt ridiculous about it, but most of them couldn't laugh until they saw the army of Death Knights.
The sky was dark and oppressive, just like the mood of the Union soldiers, not that the weather was bad that day, on the contrary, it was a sunny day, but it was a whole dark cloud, formed by countless black crows summoned by the necromancers.
There were even miserable white skeletons on the battlefield, which were undead armies controlled by necromancers, and their number was like a sea of white sè, which made people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.
There were also some huge monsters on the battlefield, which were dark green creatures that resembled giant lizards, covered with scales, and were so dazzling under the sunlight.
In the literature of the wizarding world, this is a wurm creature called a species that has faded from the human eye since the age of alchemy, but it is not known where Argus found these creatures.
Although there are not many of them, only a few, the pressure brought by horned lizards is very strong.
After all, it is also one of the legendary creatures, and although it is not as shocking as a real dragon, it is indeed extremely rare.
In addition to the horned lizard, there are all kinds of magical beasts that can't be called by scientific names, although they still look very scary, but they don't have the shocking power of horned lizards.
"Hmph!" As if noticing the slight movement of the Confederate soldiers, Argus sat on an ornate chair with a black knight's sword, like an emperor, looking at the human army across from him with his usual playful eyes, looking for someone among them.
"Damn it!" Xiao muttered, Allen looked at the opposite lineup and frowned, "That guy, he looks confident!" he said, glancing at the army behind him with a little unease.
Indeed, the strength of the Alliance soldiers was much weaker than that of Argus's Dark Legion, after all, it was only an army of humans, but in any case, at this point, there was no room for retreat.
You can't take a step back!
Just as Alan was about to say a few words to boost morale, Argus on the other side was unexpectedly the first to speak.
"Yo, there are quite a few familiar faces!" With a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, Argus's eyes fixed on Prince Theo and the two loyal followers beside him, and said mockingly, "Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness the former prince? It's been a long time, how are you late?"
"Argus......" Prince Theo's eyes were slightly reddened, obviously extremely angry. **Fastest Update**
"Your Highness!" beside him, the former magician of the first royal magician detachment, Clive Baylis, hurriedly grabbed him secretly, and said in a small voice, "Don't fall for Argus's provocation, Your Highness!"
Bert Brackley, the former deputy commander of the Royal Knights, also said in a loud voice, "Your Highness, this battle is very important, Your Highness's words and deeds are all bargaining chips for regaining the throne in the future!"
"......" glanced at the two heartfelt followers beside him, Prince Theo took a slight breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, looked at Argus with dignity, and said in a deep voice, "What the truth is, don't you know better than I do, Argus?"
"Hey, is it?" Argus smiled faintly, and then looked away from Prince Theo, after all, even the former first prince was not a bug that could be pinched to death at any time in Argus's eyes, and when Altak, Galric and other local armies came to Sassen as planned, this bug had no use value, whether it was dead or alive, Argus did not care.
On the contrary, Argus was more interested in Allen, Scott and Lavia.
"Yo, Xiao ghosts, it's been a long time!--I didn't expect you to achieve such an achievement, but I didn't expect it at all......"
"Hey!" Allen, who was straddling a war horse, smiled, tilted his head, and said in a somewhat unruly voice, "We didn't expect that the [fugitive] who almost starved to death in the woods would actually bsp;" That's fate, isn't it?", Argus's gaze fell on Soth, who was beside Lavia, and said with a bit of deep meaning, "The so-called fate is predestined...... The strong, the weak, when people are born, this kind of thing is already doomed, the strong will eventually become the strong, and the weak will be the cornerstone under the feet of the strong after all, right, Soth?"
Opening his eyes and glancing at Argus lightly, Soth said coldly, "Including you're going to die here?"
"Oh?" Argus couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and said jokingly, "You're so confident that you can defeat me?" Don't forget, if I hadn't shown mercy to my men three years ago, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to stay with your NV people like this!—huh, Xiao ghost?" The latter sentence, he said to Lavia.
But unfortunately, Argus did not know the complicated relationship between Soss and Lavia and Dia, and that sentence did not make Lavia feel any happiness at all, on the contrary, he was ridiculed by Lavia, gritted his teeth and cursed a hateful sentence, and was about to speak, but he heard Sos next to him taunt and say, "How can I not know about this?"
What he was referring to was naturally the real reason why Argus kept his hand in the first place, after all, the two were both apostles, and once the apostles were in danger, then the ancient will behind them would definitely intervene to save the lives of their apostles.
"Oh, yes, you've seen through it," Argus's face covered with black tattoos gradually retracted his smile, and with a little provocation, a little excitement, and a little inexplicable expectation, he smiled in a low voice, "We will meet again, and this is also the mouth of fate!--Since you have the courage to appear before me, it means that you have gained enough strength to match me, right? Prove it to me, Soth, here I am!"
"Kou, of course!"
The conversation between the two was like a clarion call for this major battle, and when the conversation between the two ended, the entire Brim field suddenly drifted into the smoke of war, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Hey, the game is on, Xiao ghosts!" with a playful smile, Argus slowly raised the black knight's sword in his hand and pointed forward, and immediately, the eyes of those death knights shone with a strange and terrifying red light, and they pulled the reins and began to sprint.
"Whew!" Taking a deep breath, Alan Chou, as a vanguard, took out the knight's sword at his waist, raised it high, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly roared in a loud voice, "Glory!"
"Glory!" The knights of the Knights of the Wind of Liberty of about two thousand also shouted their swords at their waists, raising their swords and shouting.
"Charge!" When the concise and powerful words burst out of Allen's mouth, a circle of red sè and green sè suddenly opened on his body, almost enveloping the entire knights of the Knights of the Freedom Wind Orders at an extremely fast speed, faintly, you can also hear a dull battle horn, when the horn sounds, the knights of the Knights of the Freedom Wind Knights, the eyes seem to burn with a raging flame called fighting spirit. ##看xiao说必去##!
"Hmm?" Argus's interested eyes were slightly surprised, because he clearly noticed that the knights of the Knights of the Freedom Wind Order, their momentum skyrocketed in an instant, and what was even more strange was that their bodies and the war horses under their crotches made some strange sounds similar to muscle expansion.
What was even more astonishing was that after a few seconds, these mere armies of humans were able to block the steel torrent of the Death Knights' army, blocking them head-on without being defeated, much to Argus's surprise.
After all, the Death Knights are between the undead and the dark creatures, compared to humans, they have several times more power, but those knights of the Knights of the Wind of Freedom, with the blood of human beings, simply contain and disperse the torrent of steel, how incredible it is!
"Domain?" Argus muttered as he looked at the strange aura that shone beneath the knights' horses, "a non-lethal amplification realm...... It's rare, it's really an interesting Xiao ghost!"
"Everything...... For glory!" On the battlefield, Alan did not have his usual hippie smile, as if the legendary great warrior bravely charged at the forefront of the knights, as a human being, he has a strange power that even those death knights can't match, and the golden sè knight's sword in his hand is like an ultimatum to death.
Suddenly, a knight of the Knights vaguely felt that there was a huge black shadow blocking the sunlight, and when he looked up, his eyes shining with infinite fighting spirit couldn't help but show a little frightened, it turned out that the huge black shadow turned out to be a horned lizard, and even worse, the horned lizard was facing the unsuspecting Allen with its bloody fangs...... "Legion Commander!" The knight hurriedly shouted a reminder, but then, his tense nerves gradually relaxed, because he saw that before the horned lizard bit Allen, a rock golem with a physique that was only a few points smaller than the horned lizard blocked the blow with his own body, it was Allen's chess puppet,!
The bite force of the horned lizard can undoubtedly bite the rock, even the rock skin of Kanso can't resist, a large piece of it is broken, and even the entire right arm is bitten off, but unexpectedly, those bitten rock fragments actually merged into Kansso's body again, and then reconstructed the entire right arm, and punched the stunned horned lizard back again and again.
"Hey, thanks, buddy!" said Allen, who turned around, grinning as he carried the knight's sword.
Hearing only a few creaks, Kanso turned his head to look at Allen, and said in a thick tone, "Here is for me, master!"
"Oh," shrugged his shoulders, Alan swept the knight's sword in his hand and said in an inexplicable voice, "Oh, Kanso!" As he spoke, he raised the knight's sword in his hand again and roared loudly, "Go ahead, my warriors, it's time for glory!"
"Oh!!!" echoed the knight of the Order who followed him.
Looking at the back of his master leaving, Kansuo let out a low roar, incredibly, the surface of the entire nearby area shook in his roar, and then, one by one, huge and sharp ground thorns burst out of the ground, one of them, actually pierced the right tuǐ of the horned lizard directly, causing a cry of pain like thunder.
"Bang bang!"
The two behemoths slammed into each other, wrestling with horns, teeth, claws, and fists, rolling across the battlefield and crushing many of the Death Knights into mud that they had no time to dodge.
"Oh, it's really a good job!" Lavia, who was looking at all this from afar, smiled a little, wearing a knight's uniform, she had a charm that distinguished other nvxìng, I saw her raise the whip inlaid with fiery rubies in her hand, and said in a coquettish voice, "Don't let Alan steal the limelight alone, Altak warriors, hold on to the weapons in your hands......" As soon as the words fell, I saw her wave the whip in her hand, and the whip suddenly ignited a raging fire, and in the flame, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out, and when the black shadow landed, you could see that it was a huge fire fox burning with a raging red flame.
"Smack!" Ravia raised her hand and pointed at the Death Knights, shouting in a coquettish voice, "...... Charge!"
Artak's soldiers, once the most capable individual soldiers in the Empire, are known as, as you can imagine, their combat ability, although they are infantry with swords and shields, but they are enough to become the second line of defense to stop the Death Knight's torrent of steel.
And as Lavia, who can control this unruly army, her strength is enough to make people temporarily forget her identity as nvxìng, I saw the fire whip in her hand keep waving, and one after another flame qi 1ang rushed towards those death knights like a wind blade, although it was a flame, it could cut off the bodies of those death knights.
And the huge firefox kept spitting out strings of fireballs, burning the death knights who rushed forward one after another into ashes, which was high enough to melt steel.
Because it is an anthropomorphic beast, this firefox is not afraid of any physical attacks, and even if it is cut off by those death knights, it can recover in the first moment. - This is the way Lavia, a typical fire mage, has been fighting in the past few years, after all, she doesn't have the strength of Alan and Soth.
Beside Lavia, the chess puppet and queen Quinn didn't seem to have any intention of going into battle, and she clutched the gold fan in her hand in a violet dress, always keeping an eye on her master's safety, and once approached by any of her existing enemies, she would use ten fingers as sharp as a blade to cut it into countless pieces with a height that was difficult to see with her eyes.
"Hmm, is Artak on the move?" Scott, smiling, pushed his glasses and smiled, as if noticing the movement on the battlefield to the north, "In that case, we can't afford to be left behind...... Knight!"
"Yes!" seemed to understand what his master meant, and knight Knight, a chess puppet dressed in knight's heavy armor, stepped onto a war horse, holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and shouted loudly, "Soldier Galik obeys the order and follows me...... Charge!"
"Oh!!"
Allen, who was in the vanguard of the central battlefield, successfully contained the momentum of the Death Knight's charge, and the two main armies of Artak and Galik in the north and south also entered the battle, which marked the official start of this major battle.
"Skeletons, those skeletons are coming!" shouted a Confederate soldier with a hint of fear, and not far in front of him, the dense skeletons like a sea of white sè swooped down frantically, with bone knives in their hands.
Immediately, I heard a loud roar of fireballs, water bombs, jī flows, and flame impacts, and all kinds of magic fell like cannonballs in the sea of skeletons. - Two thousand black mages in the rear also joined the battle and began to support the warriors in front.
But then, the necromancers on the Argus side immediately returned the favor, and bone spears with a dangerous green light descended on the heads of the Alliance soldiers, taking many lives.
"Shield!"
Just as the Confederate soldiers were terrified by the sudden magic, curtains of water and walls of rock protected the lives of those soldiers.
"What are you still doing in a daze?" shouted a dark magician.
Indeed, in large-scale legion battles, the task of the mage is not just to release the attack magic in the back, you must know that once all the warriors who are the charging force are sacrificed, they are vulnerable, and they will not be able to defeat the enemy who also has the help of the magic force with their own strength.
"Another boo is coming, ready to shield!--those damn necromancers!"
"Shield, shield!"
"The second team prepares to unleash an attack spell...... The third team is ready to ......"
"Protect the mage!"
"Kill!"
The entire battlefield was like a pot of boiling water, filled with all kinds of roars.
It's not just on the ground that there will be such a fierce battle, even more so in the air, Garik's vampire army is also fighting to the death with the black crows controlled by the necromancers, although as far as vampires are concerned, the black crows are really too small creatures, but the other party is better in numbers, even if it is a vampire with strong recovery ability, in the face of tens of thousands of black crows who are doing suicide attacks, they are also in a bitter battle, not to mention that they must pay attention to some huge monsters in the Argus camp, so as not to be slapped down by the claws of those monsters。
And just when the vampires were passive, a scarlet storm suddenly blew from the ground, and after the storm, the blood-formed Van Zhuo vampire Ulrik fluttered his demonic wings and stopped in the air, letting out a low murmur similar to emotion.
"Alas, war, it is really not beautiful......"
Those crows also seemed to notice this strange guest, and they all crashed into Ulrike, but unfortunately, Ulrik is not one of those vampires in the Galic region who can only turn into bats, he is in the form of blood, and he has a powerful power comparable to the vampires of Gangaro, I saw him let out a slight sigh, and a pool of blood suddenly gushed out from his raised right hand, turning into a bloody blade, only to hear a sound of swishing, and countless black feathers were suddenly scattered in the sky.
It was a very spectacular scene, but in just a dozen seconds, the black and oppressive sky seemed to suddenly become much brighter, looking at the dead crows, Ulrike sighed and prayed for them.
"O Almighty God, listen to the last prayers of these sad lives and grant them peace of mind......"
As he spoke, Ulrik's figure was suddenly enveloped by a shadow, it turned out that a huge horned lizard approached him at some point, and while he was concentrating on prayer, he spread his bloody fangs and bit him in two, and Ulrique's upper body, including one wing, was actually caught in the mouth of the horned lizard...... But strangely, the remaining half of Ulrik's body was still floating in the air with its wings flapping, which made the horned lizard's low intelligence a little incomprehensible, and suddenly a voice came from its own mouth...... "Really!—please don't interrupt the prayers of others, this is disrespectful to the gods......
As soon as the words fell, the horned lizard's mouth suddenly flashed with a few thin red lights, and then it fell to the ground entirely, smashing a huge crater on the ground, and at the same time, a scarlet qi 1ang burst out of the horned lizard's mouth, fusing with the last remaining half of Ulrik's body again, rebuilding a new body.
"Roar!" the horned lizard, whose mouth had been severed by the sharp bloody blade, rolled in pain.
"Alas," Ulrique, who had stopped in the air with flapping his wings, sighed slightly, looked at the horned lizard with pity, and whispered, "It's painful, sorry...... Let me help you get rid of it!" As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand and pointed at the horned lizard, and then clenched his fist violently, only to see that the horned lizard's body shook violently, and countless lines of blood burst out from the surface of the body, and finally stood still...... Even those vampires were dumbfounded, after all, they were just ordinary vampires and didn't have special abilities similar to those of Ulrike and Connell.
As if noticing the strange eyes of the vampires, Ulrike, who looked hideous because of his blood form, stooped down and saluted, and said gently, "Please don't care!—I have been entrusted to assist you, my people!" As he spoke, he glanced up at the crows who had gathered together again, and whispered with a hint of pity and regret, "then...... Please follow me, my fellow citizens, for the sake of ...... End this not-so-beautiful war sooner!"
“...... Yes!" the nearby vampires bowed their heads to Ulrique.
This battle seems to have turned into a jī battle at the beginning, so that the army group that initially seemed to be more orderly eventually turned into a hún battle, whether it was Artac, Galik, Operiels, or the Death Knight, Necromancers, their camps have all been beaten 1uan, so there is no need to wonder that a few Artak soldiers besieged a demonic beast with the help of a dark mage, and there is no need to wonder that the necromancer cooperated with the death knight to kill the soldiers of the Alliance Army, but in less than a moment, the entire battlefield has become very hún1uan, and every second there are lives lost, and their souls are absorbed by that dark altar...... All in all, Lavia in the northern battlefield still has the upper hand at the moment, and Scott in the southern battlefield seems to have the upper hand, but Allen in the central battlefield has to be said to be in a bitter battle, but it has to be said that in the face of the dark army of Argus, the alliance army composed of humans has shown their tenacity to the entire empire, and no one has ever taken a step back even if they have suffered serious casualties.
Maybe it's because of the harsh military regulations, or maybe it's out of personal consciousness...... The soldiers of the Alliance Army seemed to hold their breath, killing the enemy, killing any enemy they saw in front of them, all the way to the front of the man, and this mentality would become more and more obvious because of the bias of the battle situation.
But is it that simple?
At least the man was still sitting in the ornate chair with his sword in hand, and whether the Allies had the upper hand or the dark forces were in the driver's seat, Argus's expression never changed.
In fact, Lavia, Allen, Scott, and even Prince Theo, they also know one thing very well, as long as Argus is alive, the curtain will not fall on this war, and the Alliance forces will not be victorious, even if they kill all of Argus's dark army...... Suddenly, Argus's indifferent expression changed slightly, as he saw that the figure in the distance, who had kept his attention, finally walked slowly in his direction...... "Hey!" Argus slowly stood up, casually dropped the knight's sword in his hand, and let out a low laugh.
"Is it finally here...... Let me wait for you for a long time, Soth!"
