Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sanctuary Melee
"Why, why did the enemy catch up so quickly?"
As soon as the words came out, the Centipede King realized that he had lost his words.
The four Venerables who had retreated from the battlefield, as well as Marshal Howell, who had just woken up from a coma, all showed dissatisfaction in their eyes.
The battle situation did collapse so quickly, but they did their best!
Except for not leaving a fight to the death, they did everything they could.
On the march, the infantry faced the cavalry, or the extraordinary cavalry, and defeat was almost inevitable.
Don't say that it is three dissatisfied legions that have fought hard all night, even if it is ten main legions, they can only struggle a little more when they encounter that kind of situation.
Putting aside the questioning of reality, erasing all their efforts, and putting on a hat of disadvantage.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to hold accountable.
The enemy is menacing, and they are all cavalry, and I am afraid that the broken troops will not be able to entangle them for long.
The top priority is to hurry up and prepare for the battle, otherwise there will be endless troubles! β
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Prime Minister Jawat hurriedly changed the topic.
The external enemy is troublesome enough, and if there is any more internal strife, the situation will collapse completely.
This is not the Inner Earth, and you can recuperate immediately after civil strife. If they suffer heavy losses now, they may not even have a chance to return to the inner world.
In fact, the conservatives in the clan have long proposed to abandon the surface world and return to the inner world to regain their strength.
The biggest problem is not that the main battle faction obstructs it, but that they do not have a geocentric passage in their hands.
Choosing to cooperate with the Demon Crocodile Clan was purely out of necessity.
"Yes, I'm so anxious!
The enemy is about to be killed, so let's find a way to meet it together! β
The Centipede King immediately changed his tune.
The situation has deteriorated to this point, and Marshal Howell is indeed responsible, but the responsibility of him, the king, is no less.
Now he was dissatisfied with Howell, and many of his people were also dissatisfied with him as king.
In particular, those conservatives who oppose war with the Terrans are even more worthless in private.
The facts are in front of us, and you can't justify it. For the sake of unity in the clan, the centipede king can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Once compromised, there will be a second and a third time......
The public statement at this moment is in essence a political self-help for the Centipede King.
It's okay to let Marshal Howell take the blame, but if you involve four more Venerables in it, it will be a lot of fun.
It is not impossible for several parties to unite and directly launch a coup d'Γ©tat to oust him from power.
In the history of the Giantfoot Centipede, the king who stepped down because of a coup d'Γ©tat was not one or two.
At the moment of the great enemy, no one had time to make trouble, and after the Centipede King made a concession, the tense atmosphere suddenly eased a lot.
However, how to "meet the enemy" has become a new problem for everyone.
"How many troops are there in total?"
His Holiness Golan's questioning broke the silence.
"The enemy's troops are not many, probably only eight or nine thousand, but these soldiers are all cultivators, including a thousand Demon Beast Knights.
In terms of combat effectiveness, it is better than an army of 100,000!
The enemy only launched a single charge, and the three legions responsible for the broken rear were crushed, and there was no resistance at all.
Even if we don't use magic crossbows, the enemy knights are our biggest threat! β
Marshal Howell replied with trepidation.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can you know the horror of the enemy knights.
In contrast, the cavalry that fought yesterday can only be regarded as children.
After getting the answer, a group of giant-footed centipede executives became worried.
The enemy's "cavalry shooting" is troublesome enough, and now there is a strengthened version.
Even if you go out to the elite of the clan, if you encounter these enemies, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss.
Knowing the seriousness of the problem, no one dares to take it lightly.
"A few of us have also seen that the enemy knights are indeed difficult.
There are still some things that the human race can sit firmly on the hegemony of the continent. If they were all as easy to bully as the Kingdom of Hesse, they would have been wiped out a long time ago.
It's too late to prepare.
If you want to deal with these knights, there is no good way but to fight for your life!
No matter how powerful they are, when the manpower is finally exhausted, they will directly take their lives and consume them.
Knights can persist in fighting, and I don't believe that war horses can too!
Drag on for hours, and when their horsepower is exhausted, the cavalry will become infantry.
We can also take action when necessary.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we will first select two hundred eighth-order powerhouses from the clan and act with us.
If Hudson can be killed, then the battle situation will be clear all at once! β
Venerable Saiyam said murderously.
He's just cautious, but definitely not a dish. In times of racial crisis, you can also stand up.
In order to gain everyone's support for the plan, he even drew a big pie - kill Hudson!
From the Crocodile, they have received information that the Alien Alliance has offered Hudson's head a large reward.
As long as you can do it, no matter what race it is, no matter what the origin, you can ask the Interracial Alliance to help you do something.
Perhaps asking the alien alliance to participate in the war may not be possible, but if the giant-footed centipede wants to join the alien alliance, the obstacle must be gone.
"Venerable Sayam, with so many masters drawn from the army at once, I am afraid that it will affect the normal operation of the troops.
The enemy army is menacing, there is no master in the army, I am afraid that it will collapse soon! β
Marshal Howell fought hard.
He is 100% supportive of dispatching experts to hunt Hudson, but the strength of the army must also be guaranteed.
Looking at the continent of Aslant, the Giantfoot Centipede is just a small race. Being able to cultivate so many masters is due to the special living environment.
With so many masters being transferred at once, the army is about to be drained.
"Marshal, we're all ready to take our lives, do we still care?
The enemy's strength is so many, why bother with them alone, just gather ten times or twenty times the strength to besiege them.
As long as you can kill Hudson, it's all worth it! β
Venerable Golan replied.
Killing Hudson, the Terran marshal, slapped the Terran Alliance in the face, and directly pulled the hatred between the two sides to the point of endless death, and subsequent retaliation was inevitable.
But that's for the future!
At this stage, this is the best option for the Giantfoot Centipede to get out of its predicament.
"Okay, that's it!"
Seeing that there were many supporters, the centipede king immediately clapped his head.
They have all chosen to back down, and the coalition forces are still aggressive, which is simply too much of a centipede.
"Your Majesty, it is still unknown whether Hudson can be taken or not.
This person is the strongest person in the continent, sitting on a giant dragon and a bear of the earth, holding the inheritance artifact of the Dawn Holy See, and his combat effectiveness is absolutely extraordinary.
Unless a trap is set up in advance, the chances of achieving it all in one battle are not high.
Once Hudson is allowed to leave, even if the knights are completely annihilated, the follow-up war will still be fought.
It's too much of a loss to fight the enemy with our strength alone, and we must bring the Demon Crocodile Clan together! β
Prime Minister Gawat said viciously.
Compared to the Terran coalition, he actually hates the Demon Crocodile Clan more.
The former was originally an enemy, and he wouldn't be too angry about whatever he did, but the Demon Crocodile Clan was different.
As an ally, not only did he not pull them in at a critical moment, but instead ate melons on the side to watch the excitement.
It seems that he is busy with the battlefield in the province of Parma, but in fact everyone understands that this is just an excuse.
If I had done it with all my might, the battle over there would have ended long ago.
Leaving a lonely city, and a group of remnants of the defeated army to survive in it, in essence, is to use the hands of the human race to weaken the strength of the giant-footed centipede.
It's all about strength!
The strength of the Giant Foot Centipede is slightly inferior to that of the Demon Crocodile Clan, but in general, it is still in the same echelon, and it is nothing more than the Demon Crocodile Clan has the initiative in cooperation.
This kind of relationship between the old and the big brother with close strength is destined to be unreliable.
From the standpoint of the Demon Crocodile Clan, weakening the strength of the Giantfoot Centipede will help them take the initiative in the alliance.
Similar ideas, the giant-footed centipede high-level has had, but unfortunately before it could be implemented, the enemy attacked.
"The prime minister is right, you can't be so cheap Demon Crocodile Clan!
Send a message to the Demon Crocodile King immediately, asking them to send reinforcements immediately, or we will retreat to the passage to the center of the earth. β
The Centipede King said indifferently.
The Giantfoot Centipede has lost its core passage and now belongs to the barefoot, but the Demon Crocodile is not.
Once the Terran coalition discovers the specific location of the Geocentric Passage, the enemy will definitely change their tactics and go straight to the Geocentric Passage.
If the Terran coalition destroys the geocentric passage, no matter how well the Demon Crocodile Clan fights on the battlefield, it will be useless.
Rootless Ping, who has lost the support of the rear, the more he tosses, the faster he will die.
The cowardice shown by the giantfoot centipede's top brass in the face of the coalition forces is actually an instinctive reaction to cut off the back road.
β¦β¦
"Kill!"
With the sound of shouting and killing, the earth trembled, and all the giant-footed centipede high-level realized that the enemy army had come to kill.
The senior management of the Giant Foot Centipede, who had just made a decision and had not had time to implement it, couldn't help but greet Hudson's family angrily.
Everyone has no grudges in the past and no grudges in the near future, and they can't chase and kill so ruthlessly, and they refuse to leave any room at all.
These grievances can only be held in the stomach, and saying it will affect the morale of the army, of course, the centipede army at this moment does not have much morale.
Suffered a series of defeats in front, and last night was a starry night, and the soldiers were tired at the moment, and it was strange that their morale could be high.
One eye met, and all the centipedes performed their duties. Field Marshal Howell, who was struggling, took over the command again.
Glancing at the battlefield, a legion at the back of the line had been caught up by the enemy and enjoyed the "rain of arrows in the sun".
Compared with the broken rear troops who used the door panel as a shield, their situation was even more miserable, and they were not prepared at all.
This was a strategic miscalculation, and after yesterday's battle, the Giantfoot Centipede leadership thought that the cavalry of the coalition army was tired.
But he never imagined that Hudson would be able to resist the temptation to expand the results of the battle and hide the most elite knights.
According to estimates, they only need to deal with the Warcraft Legion.
Although this elite force is strong in combat, the total strength is less than 1,000. Even if they catch up, the three legions that are broken will be able to cope with it.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
After a burst of fire, the Monster Legion directly launched a charge, and Bear Stearns' standard giant bear paw fell from the sky.
Seeing this scene, the giant-footed centipede sanctuary who were watching the battle couldn't sit still and launched an attack on Bear Stenden one after another.
Almost at the same time, Hudson and Maxim joined the fray.
More than ten Sacred Domain powerhouses on both sides started a melee on the battlefield, and this kind of big scene was rare.
But now it's a time of war, and no one has the time to watch the excitement.
The shrewd noble knights had already chosen to distance themselves at the first time, making a detour to the flank to attack the centipede army.
The unresponsive centipede soldiers were in a tragedy, the strong in the sky clashed, and the centipedes on the ground suffered.
A casual aftermath of the battle can take away a piece of bad luck.
"Run!"
I don't know who shouted, and the centipede soldiers who were full of panic turned around and ran away.
The chaos soon spread to the neighboring troops, and the constant influx of friendly routs made the scene extremely chaotic.
Even with the centipede generals to maintain order, the chaos still affected several legions, and there were even signs of continued transmission.
The chaos below did not affect the confrontation above.
At the moment of the battle, Hudson realized that something was wrong, seven centipede sanctuaries + two demon crocodile sanctuary, and four guys actually targeted him.
"This battle is coming for him!"
Realizing this, Hudson immediately became alert, and without the slightest hesitation, he rushed directly to the dragon's back.
Bear Stearns, who had a good heart, decisively abandoned his opponent and appeared behind him to block the enemy's attack.
With two more durable meat shields, the original crisis situation was instantly resolved.
Surrendering his own protection to his teammates, Hudson, who was annoyed and angry, immediately launched the most violent attack.
Each sword is output with full strength, and it is obviously only the first order of the Holy Domain, but with the blessing of the artifact, the power is a little more awe-inspiring than the attack of the second order of the Holy Domain.
"Bang!"
After a collision, Venerable Golan's heart trembled, and a trace of crack actually appeared in the legendary holy spear in his hand.
"Everyone, be careful!
The artifact in the enemy's hand is not ordinary, and it cannot be hard-connected! β
The reminder in the panic made the warring holy realms secretly startled.
Venerable Golan was the strongest existence among them, and he actually suffered a lot of losses when he had a confrontation with the enemy.
When the sword ended, a new sword slashed out again, forcing the centipedes to retreat again and again.
It's incredible!
Under normal circumstances, after everyone releases this trick, they will change their attacks, how can they play like this one after another.
Although the Sanctuary is powerful, the energy in the body is not unlimited. If you shoot unscrupulously, you will soon run out of energy.
In a battle at this level, once the energy is exhausted, it is a lamb to the slaughter.
The enemy is desperate!
After realizing this, a group of centipedes and demon crocodile sanctuaries chose to wander and fight.
With three enemies and nine enemies, there were also two second-order Sacred Realm among the enemies, and the two sides were actually evenly matched.
