Chapter 57: The War Begins (Depressed)

"Our commander is cursed, right? In the queue of the coalition forces in the council city, the soldiers in the front row looked at the monsters in the distance wearing heavy armor and holding huge weapons, and joked to their companions with a smile: "This is completely different from what I thought, when did the monsters' equipment be better than ours?"

"Don't you know that the city of monsters has been producing weapons?" said the warrior's companion with disdain, "What's so strange that the weapons and equipment are better than ours?" but even if they wear armor, they are just monsters, how can they be the opponent of our Sart warriors. ”

Outside of a jungle near Lobito, the Thunder Bluff monster legion finally waited for the coalition forces of the Council City to appear. The more than 2,000 members of the Parliament City coalition formed a loose formation, each holding a large protective shield, so that they could improve their protection against the rain of arrows and not cause too much damage due to the salvo of others.

However, it also made them less resistant to shocks, and once a cavalry with extremely fast speed launched a charge, it was easy to penetrate the shape of the Salts. However, under the rugged mountainous terrain of Eland, there is no room for cavalry to accelerate, so the Salts will naturally put on such a formation.

This is a set of tactics that the Salts have developed in a small number of clan battles that are still in use today, and this is exactly what Refora wants to see. The monster army that has already made a surprise attack in the middle and cut the opponent's formation apart, the looser the shape of the Salts is, the better it is for them.

"How's that road to the north?" Claude, who was standing on a hillside on horseback, looked at the formation of the monsters opposite and asked the adjutant beside him, "Is it possible for the people of Bugas to pass through there?"

"No, they're blocked. The adjutant replied, "It's already full of traps, and it will take at least two days if we rule them out, but apparently we don't have that time." Now that they've retreated, I've put them on standby as reserves. ”

"Well, you're doing a great job. Claude frowned and said, "The formation of monsters on the opposite side is very strange, the minotaurs and horned demons in heavy armor are concentrated in the middle, and there are only some goblins and a small number of werewolves on both wings. Is this going to be a direct attack on the middle? Let Bugas's legion go to the middle and be on standby, thickening the formation there. ”

"I found the Monster Legion on the left. At this time, a scout hurriedly ran over and reported: "The scale is the same as the legion in front of the formation, and it should be the second monster legion in the intelligence." ”

"It's really ambitious. Claude smiled at the scout's report and said, "That's right, they want to slice us through the middle and flank our left flank." Now immediately order the legions to advance, and we will rush ahead of them to crush the enemy in front of them. ”

In the jungle facing the coalition forces in Parliament City, the command of the First Army was set here.

"The legions on the opposite side began to advance. Glock slid down from a tall tree and said to Refora, who was looking at the map, "The group of fighters who were blocked were sent to the rear of the central formation, and their intentions have been completely seen through by them. ”

"Have you seen through it? That's not what you can do. Refra thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the commander on the other side is not a fool, and now they want to defeat us in one fell swoop. In this way, the Second Army, which was still approaching on the left flank, could not do anything even if it arrived at the battlefield, and could only be forced to retreat. ”

"So, do we need to retreat?" Glock asked, "Now that our plans have been completely seen through, it's useless to stay here. ”

"No, the plan remains the same. Refra shook his head and said: "Even if they thicken the middle line, then we can only delay, I was prepared to not break through from the beginning. As long as the Second Army could be given the opportunity to surprise the army, it would be worth it even if it was encircled. What's more, the preparations we have made are not only these, but the things that have just been shipped, I have already put the goblins on their backs. ”

"Is that really what it says it is?" said Glock, skeptically, "because it was shipped in a hurry, so I didn't try it at all." Whether it can achieve the same effect as in the manual is still unknown. ”

"I'm not going to put my hopes on that. Refra sighed and said, "Even if it fails, it doesn't mean that the whole battle has been lost, the main thing is whether we can support it until the Second Army arrives." ”

Thunder Cliff sent the last batch of supplies when the First Monster Legion discovered the Parliament City Legion. Along with these strange backpacks, there was also a manual telling Refora how to use the thing called the Black Powder Pack, and what effects it would cause.

According to the description of the Grey Dwarf in the manual, such a powder bag is a weapon used by the Grey Dwarves against Drow. They don't know exactly whether it can be effective on the battlefield, after all, when they send it out, it's just something that they rush to make. As an object that can cause an explosion, a gunpowder bag can theoretically cause great damage.

These items will be handed over to the goblins to carry them, and if the battle is at a stalemate or to have a miraculous effect, the goblins carrying the gunpowder bag can rush into the opponent's line and detonate the gunpowder bag with the fire source to inflict damage on the opponent. But after all, these were invented by the gray dwarves, and Mo Yan, who didn't understand how this thing was made, also reminded Refra not to pin his hopes on it.

The Salts slowly advanced towards the Monster Legion, and they tightened their shields against the possible attack of crossbow arrows. The monsters charged at the same time as the Salts when they were within a hundred meters of distance. Two huge torrents were packed together, stirring up blood-red waves.

The Salts underestimated the power of these monsters, and they were somewhat surprised to find that the armored horned demons and the minotaurs armed with great axes were mostly able to fight to a close with them. On the battlefield, there are constantly people who are unwilling to fall, and tall monsters are also cut by swords one by one.

The goblins let out this high-pitched cry, and held their long spears in a group of dozens of them, and kept stabbing around, and there were some successes. But they were then scattered by the Sart warriors who were assaulting with shields, either killed or fled elsewhere to regroup.

The clash of swords and armor, the roar of the Salts, and the howl of monsters became the main theme of the battlefield. The plan of the Monster Legion did not come to fruition, and the thickened Middle Legion was not pierced as expected. The monsters, along with the Salt warriors who command them, are slowly surrounded by the legions of the Council City.

And at this moment, one by one exploded, but suddenly erupted in the formation of the Salts. One by one, the goblins who lit the fuse rushed into the Salts with a howl, and then the surrounding Capitol warriors were blown to pieces. After paying the attention of dozens of casualties, the Capitol City warriors also discovered the goblins that could explode.

When he distanced himself from the encircled monster army, he also used crossbow arrows to shoot the goblins with strange backpacks on their way to the Parliament City warrior formation.

"Strange stuff. Claude looked at the goblins exploding in the formation in the distance and said, "Where did they get these? ”

"There are some grey dwarves in Thunder Bluff. The lieutenant replied, "The Grey Dwarves will use some strange ore powder, as well as monster droppings, to make a strange powder, which the Grey Dwarves call Black Powder." They used it to set traps and occasionally blew up mines. ”

"Really?" Claude said when he heard the adjutant's words, "If we can't defeat that legion, we'll have to retreat, and we've miscalculated the monster's combat effectiveness." Claude looked at the Second Monster Legion, which had already appeared not far away, and ordered the adjutant, "Let the others attack immediately, or retreat." ”

In the end, the Parliament City Legion chose to retreat, although it had already surrounded the Monster Legion in front of them. However, the approach of the Second Legion, as well as the presence of explosive goblins in the opposing legion, made it impossible to resolve the battle quickly. can only choose to retreat temporarily, and will go to the camp to regroup the formation is planning, and at present, the plans of both sides can be said to be successful

Although the First Monster Legion paid a lot of costs, it allowed the Council City to be delayed here. And the Second Army Corps, which arrived at this time, as long as they can grasp the opportunity to bite the tail of the retreating coalition forces in the council city, they can take a lot of advantage.

And the coalition forces in Council City were not able to completely destroy the monster army at the end. But it can also be said that it has caused a heavy blow to Qi, and this army will not be able to participate in the war for a short time. Now they just had to get out of the battlefield and return to camp to win the battle.

Regardless of whether the Second Monster Legion led by the Carthaginians can bite the tail of the retreat of the Council City. A dragon's roar sounded in the sky, sending chills through the retreating Parliament City coalition forces.
