Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 119 The Thousand-Bladed Giant Centipede
While the archers suppressed the other party, the Chinese army of the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom was not idle, and maintained the steady advance of the fish scale formation under the orders of Filia.
Although the archers were able to further reduce the number of enemies, the Bloods' previous delay and current defensive posture made it clear that they were waiting for work, and Felia decided to deal with it with a quick victory.
The distance between the troops and the Blood Clan formation was getting closer and closer, and the shooting accuracy of the enemy archers was significantly improved, but fortunately, there were ten Rock Giant Turtles opening the way to block the enemy's shooting range, and the casualties were not serious.
In the last hundred meters, after carrying another volley of blood clans, several orange-yellow signal flares rose into the air and exploded, which was the order to charge issued by Filia.
"Kill !!" Maiss threw aside the shield in his hand and roared as one person took the lead in the charge, and the elite of the pioneer battalion he led also sprinted.
The pioneer camp has a total of 42 people and 45 beasts, all of whom are intermediate martial artists and general intelligence spirit beasts or above, and they are the largest scales in the fish scale array, and they are also the sharpest sharp knives.
The pioneer battalion rushed to the front of the enemy before the next wave of arrows from the blood archers, and the senior spear dancer Maiss was the fastest and the first to meet the enemy, only to see Maiss spin his body and sweep violently with the steel gun in his hand, and the sharp tip of the spear with a fierce gun wind knocked away several blood clans who raised shields for defense!
A little cold flashed, and then the gun shot out like a dragon! Maiss directly activated the status skill Gentian Gun Soul, broke into the enemy formation, rushed left and right, killed the enemy and expanded the gap in the front for the soldiers of the pioneer battalion.
If the Pioneer Battalion is a sharp knife, Meiss is the tip of this knife, and three strong-level ferocious batwolves tried to smooth out the tip of the knife and entangle him, but they were killed one after another by the skilled Meiss.
Spearmanship is one of the most difficult of all martial arts, and the middle-aged Mais's spearmanship has been honed to be extremely proficient, and he fights smoothly, revealing a pleasing feeling in the midst of killing.
The warriors of the Pioneer Battalion then engaged the enemy, and they were all elites, and the strength of the Blood Pioneer was much weaker compared to them.
The previous archers' focused shooting at this time was effective, according to Filia's order, the position where the pioneer battalion broke through was exactly the position where the archers focused on shooting, and the blood vanguard in this area was reduced, and the team was incomplete, even if there were other troops to support it, it was not as tacit as the comrades-in-arms of the team.
Under the increase and decrease, the pioneer battalion successfully inserted the entry point opened by Meiss, and the whole team took on a cone-shaped, with Meis as the cone, deeply embedded in the blood array.
After advancing all the way for two hundred meters, Meiss was finally stopped by the four elite punishers, and the pioneer battalion held on to itself so that it would not be surrounded, and after waiting for the support of other teams behind him, it contracted its formation and reverted to becoming the most prominent scale in the fish scale formation.
The tactical idea of the fish scale formation is to concentrate the superior forces to break through in the center, and when Filia is in the array, the powerful troops will be concentrated in the middle, and the stronger the troops, the deeper they will be into the enemy formation, and the vanguard battalion will become a cone, and the entire Chinese army will also form a large awl, which will chisel the main formation of the blood clan into a depression.
The troops, like the vanguard battalion of Meiss, shrank their formations when they could not advance or advanced in place, reducing the area of engagement with the enemy, attacking and defending.
The scale array may seem dense, but in fact, the gap between the scales is large enough for the enemy to enter and attack.
Due to the lack of attack area of the army, the front-line commander of the blood clan always had a feeling that he could not use his strength, and he was seriously suppressed even though there was no gap between the strength of the troops and the opponent.
The formation of the blood army is disrupted, the rear is the large array, the front is the enemy's military array, there is no space to reorganize, so it will be very passive, the commander can think of a strategy is to order the army to enter the gap of the enemy's fish scale array to find opportunities.
"The left and right armies surrounded the past, and the Chinese army directly inserted into the gap in the enemy's formation to fight, and broke this fish scale formation for me! Pay attention to the movements of the enemy's left and right armies, and set aside forces to deal with the counter-encirclement. The Blood Knight gave the order, and his idea was even bolder, and he directly gave up the defense and launched a siege.
The blood knight felt that the space of the Chinese army was seriously suppressed, which would affect the entire battle situation, and since the enemy broke through and stopped, it must be overwhelmed, so it was better to directly besiege and focus on attacking the enemy's Chinese army in a fish-scale formation.
The Blood Clan army took action, and the left and right armies reached out like two arms to try to hug the Chinese army of the Spirit Calling Holy Country, but the side of the Spirit Calling Holy Country seemed to have been prepared, and the archers who had not moved after long-range suppression appeared in the back firing position that the left and right armies of the Blood Clan had to guard against, and the magician troops of the rear army also quickly split into two, keeping a safe distance and moving to both sides.
The Chinese army of the blood clan also broke into the gap of the fish scale array, and at first it was very smooth and almost penetrated into the tail of the enemy formation, and then I saw several green signal flares exploding in the air on the opposite side, and the pressure increased suddenly, and the scales in the enemy formation seemed to come to life, eating away at the blood soldiers who broke into the formation one by one.
The Fish Scale Formation pays attention to the mixed combat of multiple arms, which is very suitable for the temporary integration of the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom army, and Filiab's formation is very perfect, each team is in its own most suitable position, and the captains can know how to cooperate with the friendly army without too much thought.
The various squad members in the fish scale array have mixed occupations, which is not easy to play, but Filia has equipped them with a variety of spirit beasts according to their characteristics, and the people and spirit beasts complement each other, and their offensive and defensive strength has greatly increased.
The situation of the left and right armies of the Bloods is also not optimistic, and the salvo of arrows from the archers, although lethal, cannot be unguarded, which slows down their encirclement, and those magicians can deal a devastating blow once they are in position. What's more, there are two mobile units of the enemy's left and right armies, eyeing the enemy and waiting for an opportunity to attack.
"Interesting." The Blood Knight felt as if the orders he gave had been predicted in advance by the other party, otherwise a temporarily integrated force with a mixture of humans and spirit beasts would not have been able to react so quickly.
The Blood Knight is also a self-aware commander, and he senses that the other party's commander is more capable of commanding than he is.
In fact, the blood clan side had an advantage before the war, and the first two lines of defense effectively consumed the opponent's physical strength and energy, while their own side was in a full state and was ready for battle, showing an obvious trend of waiting for work.
The Blood Knight didn't expect that the two inquisitors failed to kill the enemy boss, if they could successfully kill the boss, the enemy's morale would be greatly damaged, and the blood side would have high morale.
Even if the assassination fails, the key is that one of the adjudicators was beheaded, and the corpse was displayed in a different place in a small team in the fish scale array, but the morale of the other party skyrocketed, and our morale was low.
The morale of the army is one of the most important factors in exerting its combat effectiveness, and Filia placed the Iron Devouring Behemoth in the formation to support the battlefield like a pillar stone, so that the soldiers can fight with peace of mind, and the Commander of the Formation greatly boosts morale, and it is their new commander who personally decapitates the head of the Judge.
This commander is heroic and beautiful, the tactics pre-arranged for everyone are extremely reasonable, and even the actions of the blood clan are very accurate, and so far in the battle, the officers and soldiers of the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom army have been convinced of her in their hearts, and are willing to obey her orders to fight to the death.
"Let the Thousand-Bladed Giant Centipede troops go out to defeat the opponent's mage troops, send the undead troops to force away the archers, and protect the left and right flank legions." The opponent's high morale has offset the advantage of his own side to wait for work, and even achieved an advantage through formation and command, the blood knight can't let the opponent's morale reach the highest point for too long, and must use his hidden killer weapon.
"Your Excellency, please keep an eye on the Iron Devouring Behemoth, and trap it with the dark mire at the slightest move." In the Blood Clan's Blood Array, the Dark Priest who maintained the operation of the Blood Array nodded silently.
The mage troops of the Summoning Saint Kingdom army were in place, and the magic of each system summoned the soldiers of the left and right legions of the Blood Clan in front, and reaped a lot of results.
The morale of the magicians was greatly boosted, and they were about to fire another magic salvo, when the earth magicians in the team sensed the abnormality and suddenly shouted: "Enemy attack!" Watch out for the rear!! ”
The mages with poor physical fitness couldn't react, and before they could figure out what was going on when they turned back to look for the enemy, they saw that the ground suddenly cracked, and dozens of huge centipedes nearly one person tall burrowed out of it, and countless sharp blades popped out of their bodies and rushed into the mage's team!
The magician was caught off guard, and the seeping appearance of the giant centipede was extremely visually impactful, and not many people were able to remain calm after witnessing it up close. Panic and fear instantly prevailed, and less than twenty percent of the magicians managed to unleash their magic to resist, while the rest fled in all directions.
But they are only on two legs, how can they run as fast as a giant centipede with dozens of legs? The centipedes love nothing more than hunting down creatures that are frightened by them.
Approaching, cutting, and harvesting a life in two simple steps, the Thousand-Bladed Giant Centipede uses the blades of the exoskeleton on both sides of its body to chase down the fleeing mage.
It was a massacre, almost all the mages who fled were killed, and the sharp blades of the thousand-bladed giant centipedes were located exactly at the waist height of the humans, and most of the mages were cut in two, and died extremely painful and miserable.
The mobile troops that were originally located not far from the mage unit had already rushed to support when the Thousand Bladed Giant Cinnede appeared, but the slaughter was too fast, and they could only save the mages who gathered together to release magic and resist.
The Thousand-Bladed Giant Centipede did not like to fight, and after killing the last few panicked mages who fled to the Blood Clan's army, it retreated to the left and right armies that had completed the siege and guarded it.
The front body of the centipede was raised, and its complex mouthparts made a "hissing" sound, as if mocking the opponent's vulnerability and showing off the results of his killing.
The soldiers of the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom clenched their fists when they looked at the horrific corpses of their teammates, and the broken corpses, the internal organs thrown everywhere, the blood stained with the red earth, and the frozen expressions of horror and despair all made the soldiers hate and rage.
But they were not carried away by the anger and waited for Philia's orders, believing that their commander would be able to lead them to revenge and victory.
The rear army of the Spirit Summoning Saint Kingdom is the most centered.
The legless and leg-full insect Philia was afraid, the corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword clenched, and she couldn't bear the discomfort to observe this magical beast.
The thousand-bladed giant centipede is one meter five to two meters tall and more than ten meters long, making it very huge. Such a large body size must be a magical beast above the strong body, and more than a dozen of the largest centipedes are at the battle repentance level.
The Thousand Bladed Centipede is a killing machine cultivated by the Bloodline, which requires special training from a demon master to wield, and its weapon is two rows of exoskeleton bone blades located on both sides of the body that can flexibly eject and retract, and the sharpness of the bone blade is comparable to that of the finest steel blades.
Centipedes are mostly poisonous, and the thousand-bladed giant centipede is no exception, but the thousand-bladed giant centipede is more inclined to develop in the direction of hand-to-hand combat, and it is not very toxic.
But the huge size of the body causes a lot of toxins in its body, the original weak toxicity becomes strong after injecting a large amount of toxins, the toxins are attached to the bone blade, and the human being will not be scraped to death if the blade is not removed in time.
Each of the Thousand-Bladed Giant Centipedes was a battlefield killer, and their appearance wiped out the advantages gained by the Spirit-Summoning Saint Nation's army, and even seriously threatened the safety of the left and right armies.
Filia quickly analyzed the situation.
A group of zombies and skeletons are approaching on the side of the archer troops, zombies and skeletons are not afraid to shoot, the archers can't solve them, but they move very slowly, and they can't catch up with the archers. These cannon fodder are not to be worried, at most they can contain the archer troops, and send a small team of highly powerful troops over to solve the problem.
The headache is still the dozens of thousand-bladed giant centipedes, the mage troops are dead and wounded, and the ones that can effectively kill them are the giant horned spirit rhino troops with strong impact, but they will not stand stupidly in place, they will definitely run away, so that the giant horned spirit rhino troops that were originally used to open the situation and win will be contained.
There was no way, Filia still let the Giant Horned Spirit Rhino troops rush towards the Thousand Bladed Giant Centipede, and the variables after not dealing with them were too great to carry out the tactical strategy.
Next, it is necessary to rely on the left and right armies with strong mobility but slightly weaker frontal combat to carry out counter-encirclement, this is a doomed hard battle, without the strong impact of the giant horned rhino, the casualties of the left and right armies are much more serious.
It would be nice if there was support from the air, Filia thought and suddenly looked up at the sky with a slight feeling in her heart.
