Chapter 234: The First Battle
Although Karl wanted to wait until the dwarves arrived before going to war, it was clear that the Chaos army would not follow their instructions, and perhaps the Chaos army also learned about the dwarves sending reinforcements, so they were soon ready to attack the Combine again.
And in the face of this situation, Carl also had to choose to fight again.
Although it is logically a good idea to hold on to Middenheim, the problem is that although Middenheim has blocked the main communication routes, they have not blocked the surrounding forests and wilderness, and if they can't consolidate their advantage on the battlefield, the Chaos army can completely attack other cities in the empire without bypassing Middenheim, plus they also have the assistance of the beastmen who are familiar with the Black Forest, so in order to avoid this, Karl must take the initiative to attack.
The battlefield between the two sides is relatively narrow, which makes the two sides only able to fight head-on, and the Chaos army is naturally happy with this method, they have enough Beiyan soldiers to consume in this war. However, the situation on the Empire's side is a different matter, if it weren't for Karl to thwart the other party's conspiracy, I'm afraid the current Empire would have been in a mess.
But no matter what, the war will continue. Moreover, there is no choice, only to be able to face it.
Early the next morning, Duanmu Huai arrived at the front-line tent, where he met several other leaders for the first time.
Elisara and the Green Knight are acquaintances, and Carl doesn't need to say it, but it was a woman wearing a thick fur robe on the other side who caught Duanmuhuai's attention, she was Queen Katrin of Kislev, although Kislev had been destroyed now, but Her Majesty the Queen still seemed very calm, for Duanmuhuai, she just nodded silently and didn't say a word. It looks like it's a thousand miles away.
But Duanmu Huai didn't care, he was here to fight Chaos, not to make friends. As long as the other party doesn't trouble him, then he won't care too much about the rest.
And Karl also quickly introduced the current troop arrangement to Duanmu Huai.
Emperor *** is naturally the backbone of the army, and they have placed a large number of infantry and musketeers in the middle, including the Empire's first Karonburg Giant Swordsman, and the Eurek's Sword Warband from the Church of Ulric.
On the two wings are cavalry units including the Knights of Constant Light and the Knights of Mor, and as the vanguard, it is naturally from Bretonnia, the Holy Grail Guard and the Knights of Pegasus led by the Green Knight himselfβββ Bretonnia is indeed the first in terms of cavalry, unmatched.
As for Kislev, only the Tsar's Praetorian Guard, who guards the Empress, and the War Bear Legion, will wander around the battlefield as a guerrilla forceβββ well, to put it bluntly, they are junglers.
In addition to the ranged armies, the Imperial side is the Expeditionary Soldiers on horseback and armed with guns, and the Pioneer troops with grenade launchers, as well as a large number of musketeers and crossbowmen.
In addition to this, the Empire is best known for its large array of ranged weapons, including rocket launchers, giant cannons and even a giant steel tank.........
Well, that's pretty much the way to World War I.
As the Eternal Son, Elisara led a group of elven mages and janissaries, although they numbered no more than a hundred, but on the battlefield, this elven army was the only powerful force that could fight against the magic of the chaos army, although the empire also brought many mages, but these mages......... Compared to the elves, it's still a little worse.
"We'll have the halberds and ranged units try to block their first wave of attacks as much as possible, and then ...............
"There's no need."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand, interrupting Carl's speech.
"I'll crush them once and for all, you just have to keep up."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Elisara, the Green Knight, and Carl were all stunned, while Katrin frowned and did not speak.
"So, you're going to be a pioneer."
"That's right."
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and crossed a line on the map.
"I'll just put it
The plague army will be completely destroyed, and then those Chaos Lords will be eliminated, and I hope that idiot named Archaon will come out and die on his own initiative."
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Carl didn't know where Duanmuhuai's confidence came from, but he just reached out and patted the other man on the back (after all, he couldn't reach the shoulder).
"Leave it to me."
The snowflakes are fluttering, and the north wind is bleak.
Duanmu Huai strode on the snowfield, through the howling blizzard, looking at the black army of chaos on the other side, the plague legion, the vampire knights, all kinds of heretics, evil existences, and human traitors who took refuge in Chaos, and they were all targets of the Inquisition!
Ogis sat on Duanmu Huai's shoulder as usual, but now the black silk dress she was wearing had changed into a thick robe. After transforming into a human form, Ogis also became much less resistant to the cold, which made her unhappy, but also made Okis happy.
That's it......... The feeling of the host.
Feeling the heavy, steady, cold touch beneath her, Ogis clenched her hands slightly, and then she spoke.
"Everything is ready."
So, let's get started!
Duanmu Huai raised his hand.
First, summon the [Puppet] to enterβββ then activate the [Dragon Power], remove the [Puppet] from your hand, and then convert all the [Dolls] on the battlefield into [Dragon]!
"Hoo βββββββ!!"
The next moment, I saw that in front of Duanmu Huai, dozens of pitch-black dragons suddenly appeared, and they opened their mouths and let out angry roars. And just seeing the appearance of these giant dragons, the imperial soldiers behind Duanmu Huai couldn't help but have a commotion, they couldn't understand why a group of dragons suddenly appeared on the battlefield out of thin air.
Then Duanmu Huai summoned the metal secret dragon, rolled over, and raised the war hammer. Soon, the imprint of the Law of Death appeared behind him, turning into a dark black power that poured into the dragons' bodies.
"Go, bring our enemies a predestined death!"
"Roaring βββββ!!!"
With Duanmu Huai's order, the black dragons spread their wings, flew into the sky, and under the leadership of Duanmu Huai, they rushed straight to the chaos army in the distance!
"Attack βββ!!"
Naturally, the Chaos army also saw the attacking dragon army, and soon, countless arrows and various magic bolts were launched from the army formation and flew into the air. However, these attacks were nothing to mention to the dragons in the sky, who rose like bombers under the command of Duanmu Huai, dodging the first attack from the Chaos army, and then the black dragons swooped down, opening their bloody mouths, and then, black and white flames erupted from the dragon's mouth, enveloping the plague legion on the ground.
The black flames of the Death Law, the hunting gods, mercilessly devoured the plague armies on the ground, screaming and raising their hands in an attempt to resist the terrible force. However, the cold, desperate force of death did not give them any chance. Soon, countless plague warriors were turned into snow-white dust in the flames.
This is the reason why Duanmu Huai chose to target the Plague Legion, his death law is the god of the plague, no matter what kind of disease or even microorganisms the god of the plague controls, the law of death will bring them to an endβββ from this point of view, Duanmu Huai and the god of the plague are really rivals.
In the face of the laws of death and the Black Flame, any existence will be destroyed, not even the virus.
The arrival of the dragon army had clearly shaken the Chaos Legions, who had clearly not expected dragons to join the war, but it wasn't over yet.
Just as the dragons roared by, bringing chaos and destruction to the Chaos army on the ground, hundreds of huge fire meteors fell from the sky, and these steel "meteors" roared through the clouds, like cannonballs, directly bombarded the already chaotic positions of the Chaos army. Before the Chaos soldiers could figure out what was going on, they saw the steel
The Iron Thing suddenly opened the door, and countless cannon fire poured out of it, tearing apart the enemies who dared to stand in front of them.
The Guardians poured out of it with weapons in hand, and together with the Night Guards who had also landed in the Drop Chamber, they pounced on the Chaos army in front of them.
"Boom!!"
Duanmu Huai harnessed the dragon and landed heavily on the ground, he raised his hammer and pointed forward.
"We are impregnable shields against the darkness that strikes, we are blades forged in defiance of fate, and in the face of the wrath of the Inquisition, any enemy will be destroyed............... In the name of the Inquisition, kill them all, and leave not one behind!!"
At the same time that Duanmu Huai led the night guards and guardians into the chaos army, Carl and the others in the rear also saw this scene.
"I didn't expect him to surprise me."
Carl stared at the battlefield in front of him and showed a smile, to be honest, before this, although he had confidence in Duanmu Huai, Carl didn't know how Duanmu Huai planned to fight the enemy. However, seeing this scene now, he is also relieved, all along, the combined army has been passively beaten, although there is indeed an offensive to crush the enemy, but it also has a great impact on the morale of the army.
And now, seeing the scene of the collapse of the Chaos army, Karl also smiled, he raised the golden hammer in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Now, it's time for us to settle accounts with that group of ***s, and the whole army will obey the order and attack!!"
"Wooβββββ!!
With the sound of the heavy marching horn, the Combine turned into raging waves and rushed towards the enemy in front.
