Chapter Eighty-Seven, Each Shows His Magical Powers
The shouts of killing resounded through the world, and the sneak attack eventually turned into a strong attack, and it was impossible not to be disappointed.
The great war has broken out, and the demon crocodile soldiers bravely launched an attack, but unfortunately the power of the arrow rain in front of them exceeded the pre-estimate.
In a short charge, a large number of casualties were inflicted, and the offensive momentum was directly suppressed.
Suddenly, a bright light pierced the dark night sky, and the roar of cannon fire followed.
"Illumination", magic apprentices can master magic techniques, and they actually play an unexpected role on the battlefield.
Of course, the light that can travel that far is certainly not something that an apprentice of magic can do.
However, there is no shortage of high-level light magicians in the coalition, and even if the people below run out of magic, Lord Hudson can still go to it himself.
Anyway, his status has reached the point where he loses his special talent, and the outside world will sigh at most.
Strangling geniuses has always been only for geniuses who have not grown up.
The name of the strongest man in the mainland has attracted a lot of hatred, and at the same time, he has avoided a lot of trouble.
After so many times in the limelight, Hudson has not been assassinated once, and no strong man has come to do anything.
Although this spell passed in a flash, it was enough for the artillerymen.
A round of artillery fire succeeds, and new magic reappears. Only this time it wasn't a flash technique, but a rain of fire in the sky.
The light of the fire is also light, and it is just to guide the direction of the enemy's army, and it is enough.
The thinking mode was opened, and the tactics of the coalition forces suddenly became colorful.
This is a bitter thing for the Demon Crocodile Soldiers, who originally thought that they could take advantage of the night attack, but now their advantage has shrunk instantly.
The soldiers who rushed to the front had to face the threat of crossbow arrows, and the soldiers in the rear had to face the blow of the magic crystal cannon.
The most troublesome thing for the Demon Crocodile officers and soldiers is the range of the enemy's Magic Crystal Cannon, which can still be artificially adjusted.
From more than ten miles to seven or eight hundred meters, such a long section can be patronized by enemy artillery fire.
Except for a few lucky ones, who broke through the fire blockade and entered the coalition camp and were quickly killed by the defenders, many more soldiers fell halfway.
"Pass the order, change the main attack on the frontal battlefield to a feint, and focus on seeking a breakthrough point from the two flanks of the enemy!"
Seeing that nothing could be done, Marshal Kante decisively chose to change tactics.
The frontal firepower is so fierce, then attack from both flanks, it is really not possible to detour to the rear.
But that's the last option!
If you really do it, the risk is still very high.
If the main force really makes a big detour, the big camp will be in danger.
At this moment, the soldiers in the battalion are all tired soldiers who have been busy for a day and a night, and their combat effectiveness cannot be counted on at all.
"Marshal, we don't have enough mobile troops in our hands, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat the enemy tonight!
simply transfer the troops of Yangguan County to the past.
Throwing away all the baggage and running fifty miles overnight to join the battle before dawn is not too much of a problem. ”
Hearing the words of the Demon Crocodile King, Marshal Kante directly wanted to cry without tears.
His own king was too optimistic, and he actually wanted to eat the enemy army in one bite. In front of them, they didn't take advantage of the situation at all.
However, the tactics proposed by the Demon Crocodile King are still operable.
The army is moving slowly, and the biggest problem is logistical drag. If you can give up a lot of baggage, fifty miles of land will be a matter of hours.
In the past few months since entering the surface world, the demon crocodile soldiers have not been in vain, and their bodies have improved by more than one grade compared to when they were in the inner world.
Coupled with the talent of not being afraid of the night, it is really not difficult to travel fifty miles at night.
It is uncertain whether the enemy can be defeated by the situation, but at least two troops can complete the division.
After the damage to the geocentric passage, Yangguan County is not a battleground for the Demon Crocodile Clan, and in essence, this battle is fought to meet the defenders of Yangguan County.
Although deep down, they drenched the dogs scolded by the Governor of Bram, who was stationed here, the soldiers were innocent.
After losing the replenishment of the Inner World, every Demon Crocodile now is a valuable strategic resource that cannot be easily lost.
"Your Majesty, you have a point!
I immediately ordered the transfer of several regiments stationed in Yangguan County. ”
Marshal Kante, who is emotionally online, decisively agreed.
Since everyone is on the same page, there is no need to refute it. As for whether or not the enemy army can be taken, it will be known only after the battle.
Night is the best opportunity for both sides to join forces, and can greatly reduce the advantage of the enemy's cavalry.
Once you miss tonight's opportunity, you don't know what will happen later.
……
The battle continued, and under the cover of the fire, a group of magicians quietly appeared in the mountains and forests.
"The enemy is prepared, and guards have been arranged in the mountains, so it seems that they can only break through!"
As soon as Venerable Marcello finished speaking, he was interrupted by his companions on the side.
"I can't do it!
We're here to wreak havoc, so there's no need to follow the rules. There are many ways to destroy water sources, and there is more than just poisoning.
Everyone summoned the army of the undead and directly created an undead catastrophe, even if there was water, the enemy would not dare to drink it.
To be on the safe side, even the source of the stream was destroyed.
Last time, I followed the marshal to investigate, and I happened to go to the upstream cave to check, and I directly destroyed it with a forbidden spell! ”
Venerable McDonald said indifferently.
The war has been going on so far, and the biggest gain is definitely the necromancer.
In normal times, if you want to accumulate an army of the undead, you need to risk being hunted down by the whole continent.
Acting with the army, the corpses and souls of the aliens are the materials they use to create the army of the undead.
So much so that the necromancers who accompanied the army have greatly increased their combat power, and this is the time for them to perform.
"Good!"
Venerable Marcello replied decisively.
The dead demon crocodile is the best demon crocodile.
After this battle, perhaps the demon crocodile race will no longer exist. These things they did will naturally be glorified in the pen of the Terran historian.
The two of them are not members of the magician group, but as the powerhouses of the holy domain who escort a group of magicians, they still have a high right to speak.
The plan formulated is exactly in line with the actual needs of the present, and naturally no one will oppose it.
Without any nonsense, a group of necromancers have taken action one after another, summoning their own army of undead stored in another dimension.
The disaster of the undead without the canopy of the undead was staged in the mountains and forests in an instant, and the demon crocodile soldiers in charge of patrolling were directly frightened by the scene in front of them.
"Oh no, the giant foot centipede is here!"
A demon crocodile soldier exclaimed.
There is nothing wrong with it, and the dead Giantfoot centipede is also a Giantfoot centipede.
These giant-footed centipedes, which were refined into zombies, did not have much difference in appearance except for some more corpse qi on their bodies.
It is normal for a low-level demon crocodile who lacks knowledge to be unable to distinguish the difference between the two.
At this time, it was too late to send the police.
The undead creatures that suddenly appeared were killed directly in front of them, and they didn't have time to run away.
An accident occurred in the patrol, which quickly attracted the attention of the remaining generals, who immediately called in soldiers to counterattack.
"What's going on, why is the army of giantfoot centipedes here?"
Prime Minister Susilo asked nervously.
Obviously, the voices of the front-line soldiers were reported by the soldiers as the truth.
This change directly caused Prime Minister Susilo.
According to normal logic, after the big battle between the two sides in Yangguan County, the remnants of the giant foot centipede saw that they had no time to hide.
Taking the initiative to come up is purely self-defeating.
"Prime Minister, there is too little information at the moment.
Perhaps these giant-footed centipedes have surrendered to the Terrans and acted as their minions to get revenge on us! ”
A demon crocodile general guessed with a big brain.
As the overlord of the continent, the Terrans have their own arrogance, and under normal circumstances, it is impossible to take in the remnants of the invaders.
But the most indispensable thing in the war period is exceptions, collecting some remnants of the enemy army to use as cannon fodder, and barely saying that it is in the past.
After all, what the Terrans lack most is the talent for field combat, and the Giant Foot Centipede can help them make up for this shortcoming.
After thinking of this, the faces of the demon crocodiles changed drastically.
At the moment, the camp is full of tired soldiers, and if they are forced to fight a decisive battle with the enemy, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
"That's not right!
We've all investigated the situation in this area, and it's impossible for a large army of giant foot centipedes lurking.
You go to the front line to see for yourself, maybe it's a false alarm, but you just encountered a small group of giant-footed centipedes! ”
Susie Lozai immediately vetoed.
Civilian officials are not equal to military novices, and the specific command ability may not be qualified, but there is still a view of the overall situation.
The Terrans taking in the remnants of the Giantfoot Centipede is very nonsense in itself.
It would be magical if there was a large army of giantfoot centipedes that evaded their detection and lurked until they were not detected.
If the enemy really has the ability, he can directly send a Terran army over and rush into the camp to slaughter it, so why use a group of stinky centipedes with dirty hands!
The miscalculation directly affected the mobilization of the demon crocodile army. Except for the troops on duty, the rest of the demon crocodile soldiers were not awakened.
Covered by the roaring sound of magic crystal cannons, and the sound of some soldiers fighting, it is not worth mentioning at all.
With a "boom" sound, the huge karst cave collapsed directly, and the boulder dust raised directly buried the source.
The Sanctuary Knight completed the task with one blow, and the expected forbidden spell had no chance to be cast at all.
Seeing this scene, after the two Sacred Domain powerhouses glanced at each other, they decisively chose to act separately.
This physical destruction cannot permanently block the flow of water. After the water seeps through, it will still come out again.
However, when it is destroyed, the flow of water becomes dispersed, and no one can say for sure when it will be able to converge into a stream.
What's more, before the shot, a large amount of corpse poison was also thrown into the cave.
If you don't remove the source of pollution, no one knows what will happen if the demon crocodile drinks it.
It is unrealistic to poison all the demon crocodiles, but if it causes a contagious disease, it is very possible.
Even if the enemy army is defeated, a high-ranking priest will be sent to deal with the aftermath in the future.
These are small issues, and churches like to participate in this kind of public welfare activity that is risk-free and can expand its own impact.
After a series of loud noises, the remaining demon crocodile generals finally found themselves falling into a common sense misunderstanding.
Affected by the environment, the Inner World's occupations that play with corpses and souls, such as necromancy, are all classified as forbidden arts, and the control is very strict.
It's okay to occasionally refine a few undead creatures in private, and even if a dark mage needs the help of the undead in battle, it is still summoned from the undead realm.
This summoning is very limiting. The combat power of the summoned undead creatures is entirely based on luck.
It often takes hundreds of summons to meet an undead who can see it.
It's okay for these wild undead to come to help with short-term work, but if they want to force the contract, it is also risky, and they may backlash at any time.
Even if you ignore the backlash and want to gather thousands of undead armies, there is no possibility.
The biggest problem is mental power!
No necromancer can suppress an army of wild undead. Even if it is as strong as the Sanctuary, the number of undead who can contract is limited.
In contrast, the situation of do-it-yourself refining is different. Before the undead creature gives birth to a sapient, any contract can be signed.
That's why necromancers love to slaughter living beings!
Ordinary people are definitely not as good as soldiers, and if you want to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army of the undead, you can only let them devour each other.
It usually takes ten times as many people as many people to make up for it.
If you really kill by yourself and refine all of them into undead creatures, you will definitely be affected by the resentment of the living beings.
Many necromancers have fallen, not because they are evil in nature, but because they have been invaded by evil spirits because they have killed too much.
"Wake up all the soldiers in the camp and notify Your Majesty to come back!"
Prime Minister Susilo, who walked out of the handsome camp, saw the scene in front of him and hurriedly exclaimed.
At this time, the undead army had already gathered and launched a direct attack on the Demon Crocodile Camp.
Unlike the Terran soldiers, who have severe night blindness, undead creatures do not have this problem, and their combat effectiveness is even strengthened in the dark.
In close combat, the newborn undead naturally can't kill the demon crocodile soldiers.
After all, in the process of transformation, energy is also consumed, and it is impossible to completely preserve the combat effectiveness before death.
The combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is insufficient, but the number of cannon fodder is not enough.
Death on the battlefield will not be wasted. Companions will absorb their soul fire and increase their own strength.
The momentum was created, and the Demon Crocodile officers and soldiers who were originally besieging the coalition camp found out that the lair had been attacked by a sneak attack, and their morale plummeted in an instant.
One blow, and then decline!
"Withdraw!"
Realizing the failure of the night attack, Marshal Kante decisively ordered a retreat.
Reason told him that he could not entangle with the enemy.
It is impossible to break through the enemy camp, and if your own camp is successfully attacked by the enemy, it will be miserable.
Not to mention how much the soldiers in the battalion will lose, a unit that has lost its baggage, the regimental annihilation is a high probability event.
……
In the dark night, an army of demon crocodiles cautiously left the camp and was leaving Yangguan County by a detour.
"Two Venerables, Your Majesty means that we should arrive overnight to participate in the battle, according to the current route, it would be good to be able to arrive at the battlefield on time!"
Boix grumbled helplessly.
Under normal circumstances, the distance between them and the battlefield is indeed more than fifty miles.
In the case of giving up the baggage, traveling fifty miles at night to participate in the battle, most of the demon crocodile soldiers were able to do it.
But the problem is that between the two, there is also a large battalion of enemy cavalry.
Prior to this, Boix had also organized an army to try to counterattack at night, only to be slapped in the face.
Facts have proved that cavalry is not only strong in combat effectiveness on war horses, but also elite in the first class when dismounting.
Not being good at night combat does not mean that you cannot conduct night operations.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, cavalry has a much higher daily salary, and there are relatively few patients with night blindness.
The tentative attack directly buried thousands of troops, not to mention, but also attracted a heavy attack from the Terran worship group, and the troops were once again reduced by one-tenth.
If it weren't for the fact that they still had the value of being used as bait, it was unknown whether they would have survived until now.
In this regard, Venerable Wilson and Venerable Hines have the most say.
When the Terran powerhouses attacked, they also tried to intercept them, but after seeing the number of strong men in the enemy army, they decisively chose to follow their hearts.
If you had been impulsive at that time, you would not have lived now.
and strong enemies are eyeing each other, and if you want to leave safely, you must take a detour.
Otherwise, if they are discovered by the enemy, even if they can leave alive, the army will suffer heavy losses.
"If you can catch up, you can catch up, and if you can't catch up, pull down.
Everything is about safety, and you can't be bitten by the enemy's cavalry legions! ”
Venerable Wilson said angrily.
According to the new marching route, their distance has changed from more than 50 miles to more than 100 miles now.
It is not possible not to go around this big circle, it is too close to the enemy camp and there is not enough security.
Knowing that Boix wanted them to share the responsibilities together, Venerable Wilson naturally did not have a good attitude.
But this responsibility, they have to come out and share. From the beginning of the siege, everyone was in the same boat.
The true strength of the enemy's besieging troops did not dare to report in detail, because they were afraid that the clan would give up on them directly after knowing the truth.
Such a big thunder was buried, and Boix's small body couldn't bear it at all, so everyone had to cover it up together.
……
