Chapter 34: The Battle of the Gentlemen
readx; The War of the Gods has left too many classic examples for later generations, during which there are many large-scale battles in which both sides invested a total of more than 100,000 troops, such as the Battle of Fanshui, the Raid of the Northern See, and so on. In this total of no less than 60 battles, although the total combat power of the two sides in the Battle www.biquge.info of the Two Kings of the Sanggan River is only 30,002 people, the scale can be said to be very small, but the high gold content and its influence on future generations make it one of the top five of all the battles of the War of the Gods in one fell swoop.
On the 10th day of the second month of the Magic Calendar, according to the agreement, the Little Mercenary Group and the Pirate King Family submitted their respective lists to the Thieves Guild, the Mercenary Guild and the Alcatraz Legion at the same time.
The entire list of participants is divided into two parts, one is the official list, 15,001 people, and the other is the substitute list, 150 people, and the same is true in the ancient covenant war, any close war will have a substitute list, in case someone is temporarily unable to participate. All the generals on the list will have a brief list of their resumes and occupations.
Twenty minutes after submitting the list, both sides got the list of each other's participants. At the same time, the list is sold to the major forces at a price of 1,000 gold coins - at Amy's strong demand and threat, 60% of the profits generated by the sale will be returned to the small mercenary group and the pirate king.
As soon as these two lists came out, there was no need to say the mood of the two sides involved in the war, and all the forces on the four continents were shocked!
It wasn't until this list came out that everyone knew that the small mercenary group now had a water archmage and a full range of mages, and the water great mage was naturally His Royal Highness Lin Yusheng, the chief Jedi elder of the Eastern Magic Empire, and the whole system of mages turned out to be the head of the group, His Excellency Amy. What also shocked the world was that for the first time, the small mercenary group officially recognized the title of Sha Ruohuo De Star Palace Divine Man. In addition, there are also Chi Aotian, Horns, Daqingshan, and Qingluo who already have the ranking of the Battle Spirit List, while Ling Yun and the Great Pangolin Knight Bronze Hammer, as well as the fourth deputy head Gelsu, have also entered the rookie list of the Battle Spirit List. In addition to this, there are also the Seven Dragon Knights, more than 20 Phantom Beast Knights, and more than 20 Jing Spirit Magicians, and this is only the cadres participating in the battle.
The participating units of the small mercenary group include: 5000 Great Swordsman, 1000 Magic Swordsman, 1000 Blocking Swordsman, 400 Vulture Swordsman, 500 Vulture Jing Spirit Archer, 1000 Prairie Jing Spirit Archer, 1000 Forest Jing Spirit Archer, 1000 Warhammer Dwarves, 1000 Tomahawk Dwarves, 1000 Snow Moon Legion Skeleton Warriors, 2000 Light Knights, 10 Dragon Knights, 20 Magicians, 10 Great Pangolin Knights, and 60 Priests. The list of all is on it. And made a special mark, the light knight force is mainly Chi Aotian Expeditionary Force, this part of the force has been under the command of Chi Aotian, the third deputy head of the small mercenary group, for more than two years, of course, it can be counted as part of the small mercenary group.
As soon as this list came out, the Thieves Guild made a lot of money just within the small mercenary group system. When Horns wrote this list, he did not consult any of the battalion commanders of the small mercenary group at all, but he took the mercenary roster and wrote it in three nights based on his performance over the years and the dwarf's own impressions. Subsequently, Amy, Daqingshan, Chi Aotian and Gelsu passed together. The small mercenary group now has more than 10 subordinate battalions, with a total strength of more than 20,000 people. Nearly every battalion of mercenaries pooled their money to buy one—they certainly didn't care about the strength of the Pirate King's family.
When they saw this list, the berserkers were in a hurry! It turned out that during the entire battle, all the berserkers stood aside! This was simply a great shame!
The berserkers didn't dare to mess with Amy, and they also knew that this list was drafted by Horns, and nearly a thousand berserkers with long battle axes surrounded Horns' small courtyard three layers inside and three layers outside, and the howl was eager to collapse the entire courtyard. The forest dwarf camp was in a hurry, isn't this a naked threat to His Royal Highness the Dwarven Prince? More than 2,000 forest dwarves and more than 1,000 mountain dwarves who watched the excitement surrounded the outside with three layers on the outside and three layers on the inside. almost provoked the first major fire fight in the history of the small mercenary group.
Fortunately, Amy showed up at the most critical time and finally rescued the dwarf. By the way, he severely reprimanded the captains of the berserkers - Amy knew that a slap to give a date to eat was the best way to use people, and after scolding, he sent another very important task to the berserkers: three days before the battle, go to the north side of the Stone Continental Highway to ambush, and prepare to ambush the reinforcements from Scambrai. He also said that such an important task can only be completed by berserkers, and he is convinced that the berserker troops will be able to completely annihilate the invading enemy.
Watching the berserkers leave excitedly, Horns almost uttered again: "Didn't you let the Grand Duke of Lantian be in charge ......of the north and south lines?
Amy stunned Horns with her eyes to make Horns feel that life is worse than death, and quickly swallowed the following words into her stomach. Fortunately, the lines of the berserkers are much rougher than those of the Grand Duke of Lantian, and they didn't pay attention to the fact that there was such a scene behind them.
Regarding the strength of the list of small mercenary groups, it is said that His Majesty was stunned for more than 20 minutes without saying a word after seeing it - one thing is certain, the most powerful empire in the pan-continent would never be able to make up such a luxurious family before the war of the gods.
The list provided by His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King is in no way inferior to that of the small mercenary group.
There are a total of eight dragon knights, among which the head of the Sweat and Blood Iron Cavalry Mercenary Regiment, the Grand Duke of Iron Hand Block, the deputy head of Lord Obi, the head of the Black Crocodile Mercenary Group, Grand Duke Kadilanya, and the deputy head of the Earl Newton, all of them are in the top 40 of the War Spirit List, far surpassing the commanders of the small mercenary group in terms of ranking, and the leader of the Pirate Skeleton Legion, Redbeard Kaka, and the deputy head of the One-Eyed Salon, both of whom also have the strength of the top 50 on the Battle Spirit List according to the evaluation of the Mercenary Guild. The other dragon knight is from the Pirate King's Guard, and he is in his 40s and in the prime of life. In addition to the dragon knights, what shocked the world was that the giant army of the Pirate King family finally appeared, and the bottom of this giant tribe was marked with two words tt. Amy felt dizzy at the sight of these two words!
There are a total of 9 races of giants, such as Golem, Swamp Giant, Cyclops, and so on. According to the division of the great era, they are also all species created by the 12 main gods, and they belong to the human beings of the Silver Age. Like other Silver Age humans, the Giants have as much strength as they do disadvantages, but they are not very intelligent because they have very few golden apples evenly distributed.
The giants marked with TT do not belong to the 9 giant races, because they were not created, but the sub-god Titans born by the earth god Gaia! The average height of the 9 giants is only 12 meters, and the average height of TT giants is more than 25 meters, and they inherit the blood of Gaia, the god of the earth, so they naturally inherit the wisdom of Gaia.
There is a saying that the TT giant is the legendary long-lost herdman.
The other forces of the Pirate King family are as follows: 4000 Light Knights, 3800 Heavy Knights, 1000 Earth Dragon Knights, 2000 Cancer Knights, 2000 Crossbowmen, 2000 Albatross Knights, 100 Octopus Knights, 30 Magicians, 37 Priests, 25 TT Giants, and 8 Dragon Knights. A detailed list is also attached.
In terms of the types of troops participating in the battle, the small mercenary group is obviously biased towards the infantry, while the pirate royal family is almost a cavalry of the Qing dynasty. From a purely tactical point of view, the Pirate King family has a certain advantage, especially the swordsman unit has little defense against the surprise attack of the knight force, but this advantage is weakened by the powerful air ranged attack force and the archer force composed of Jing Ling.
Overall, this battle takes into account that the Pirate King family's strength is one out of two, and the small mercenary group is one out of 1.5. Therefore, the major forces believe that the Pirate King family has a 7 out of 10 chance of winning, while the small mercenary group has a 3 out of 40 chance of winning. The small mercenary group united with the Thieves Guild and the Mercenary Guild to open a lottery in the pan-continent, and a silver coin was on the road, and items and equipment were welcome to be pledged.
Judging from the color of the color, most people also think that the Pirate King has a better chance of winning - this kind of battle is not a battle between mercenaries, and it is definitely not a half-magus that can decide everything. In particular, why the Pirate King family's troop allocation has less than 2,000 heavy infantry and the rest are all knights, it must have taken into account the magic level of Amy and Lin Yusheng. Use the knight troops to quickly break through the enemy line, the enemy and our forces are intertwined, and the magister has no place to release magic.
In the autumn and February of the eighth year of the magic calendar, there were guests from all over the pan-continent who came to watch the battle, and General Chi Hantong, who was already full of white hair, was the first to arrive; then a few days later, Bai Shaoling's representative of the Red Stone Emperor also came; then, after returning from the blue island, the white-clothed Ah Feng and Old Locke made a direct detour to the Sanggan River war zone; Adam Ping also sent a special person to fight the front station; His Royal Highness the Fire Furnace came with 1,000 dwarf warriors and more than 20 large pangolin knights, and the dwarf king didn't say anything else, but set up the barracks outside the small mercenary group barracks and guarded the flanks of the small mercenary group; a few days later, the daughter-in-law of the Southern Xinjiang family also came with a shy smile...... On the twenty-first day of the second month of the autumn, the four main armies of the Pirate King family came one after another, and set up a six-mile camp on the north bank of the Sanggan River in one go. According to the agreement in advance, Amy took the two continental highways as the boundary, one left and one right, and chose two battle sites, both of which were large plains with only a few shrubs. Amy didn't pick the third piece, and felt that it was not necessary, if the Pirate King family was really not satisfied, then they would choose their own place. The Pirate King family came forward in the early stage, and the Grand Duke of the Iron Hand Barricade took the guards for a ride around the venue, saying that there was no problem, and from now on, they would send a rotating guard and a small mercenary group to guard the two venues together to avoid unnecessary destruction.
Count Raybaton of the Sangan River War Zone sent the best grain and grass, and even allocated the best soybeans from the residents' rations to make feed for war horses, and sent special personnel to solve all the problems that the Pirate King family might encounter.
From this moment on, a very interesting scene during the War of the Gods was staged.
The place where the Pirate King family camped was not far from the camp of the small mercenary group, Qu Jianhong and Su Wen were in charge of the early cāo performance, and the young Grand Duke was young and vigorous, and he took the mercenaries to hang around the Pirate King family every day. The two units met on the road every day during training, and even moved forward side by side. At first, the mercenaries were hostile to each other, but later, most of them were mercenaries, and there were still plenty of topics to talk about with each other, and the two troops often chatted while training - no one who knew anything would have guessed that such two forces would be doomed to a life-and-death battle in a month's time!
The two surviving mercenary kings of the Mercenary Guild also came, of course, staying in a small mercenary group. Looking at these three A-level mercenary groups - this is half of the top mercenary groups in the entire mercenary world, these are the Jing Rui of the mercenaries, the two mercenary kings are extremely uncomfortable, and they sigh all day long. He almost took Amy and the iron hand to stop the river and said, "Or, let's forget it?"
Lin Yushang arrived in the last few days, and she came with the thief Chu Liuxiang.
"Amy, the thief and I want to talk to you about something, is it convenient for you?" Lin Yushang asked in a whisper.
Amy sighed in her heart, he knew what Lin Yushang wanted to do, but ......, "Okay, where?"
"My room. Lin Yushang casually returned the Apollo ** staff to Sha Ruo.
After the three of them sat down, the thief spoke first: "Your Excellency Amy, I can't think of it...... We meet again. ”
Amy knew that Lin Yushang must have told the truth to this wind magister, and waved her hand with a smile: "The thief is really a believer, we didn't take a gamble on the blue island, we went all the way to the Sanggan River to make up for this bet, I don't know how much the thief is going to bet? ”
The thief's head is a little big, in his colorful life, no one has been able to make his head big, obviously the young man in front of him is an exception, the old magister licked his lips like a child, and finally said: "Your Excellency Amy, I heard from Her Royal Highness the Queen that the three Jedi Great Elders in the underground gave you the Dark Ring?"
"Yes. ”
Amy said as she pushed the ring to the back of her fingers, a ray of black sè light.
"On the day of the decisive battle between His Royal Highness and Princess Bi, I seemed to see the high-level Jing Ling of the Nine Series...... Seem...... They seem to be the Jing spirits of the Nine Magic Towers of the Magic Empire Sky City, right?" the thief asked cautiously.
Amy smiled, "Yes." ”
"Is the ninth-line jing spirit parasitic in the dark ring?" the thief then asked.
"Yes. ”
"That'...... I think that with your relationship with His Highness Lin Yusheng, you will definitely return the Dark Ring to the Magic Empire, right?"
Amy smiled.
