Chapter 335: The Road to Hell (Part II)
On April 20, 1002 in the Sacred Calendar, the expeditionary army of 2.2 billion troops assembled on the Ilia Peninsula finally began the first step of the expedition, that is, to open the road to hell!!
The Road to Hell is a continental bridge located in the southernmost part of the Ilia Peninsula, 444 kilometers long and 13 kilometers wide, connecting the continent of Europa and the Black Earth Continent.
It's just that although the sea water has receded, but the number of almost endless ocean monsters has not receded with the sea water, it is close to the demon domain, and I don't know why the land bridge will also frantically attract a huge number of monsters every hundred years, so if you want to go down the land bridge, you must pay countless lives to kill those monsters, so, this is a road to hell, for thousands of years, there have been as many as 10 billion soldiers buried on it, which can be described as a lot of bones.
The offensive began, and it was obviously a battle to the death, naturally it could not be done by the 12 million army of the elite strength of the Holy See, the fourth-order Golden Knight, nor could it be the 1.2 billion army of the various Divine Chosen Families, or even the elite armies of the major empires of the Europa continent, and in the end, it was the ragtag army composed of the armies of those kingdoms and principalities that took the lead.
The number of these motley armies is as high as more than 200 million, and their strength has undoubtedly reached the level of third-order silver knights required by the Holy See, but the armor they wear is tattered, and the weapons they hold are all old goods. There was a sad look in their eyes. They know their fate. But they couldn't resist, facing the 12 million elite army of the Holy See stationed next to the entrance of the Hell Road, as well as the army of the Chosen Family and the armies of the major empires around them, unless these motley armies committed suicide, their only way was to use their bodies to fight to the death against those ferocious and huge number of demonic beasts on the Hell Road, using their flesh and blood. Shengsheng opens a passage for the follow-up troops.
This is their fate, fortunately, in order to make these ragtag soldiers willing to board the warships here, the kings and grand dukes of various kingdoms and principalities have given some compensation to the families of these ragtag soldiers who sent them to death, so that their families can live well in ten years, which is also the reason why the ragtag soldiers did not collapse, they did not retreat, but carried the old swords, and roared step by step towards the road to hell!
"The war has begun!" in the barracks thousands of kilometers away from the road to hell. Lynn and tens of thousands of officers were in the middle of the schoolyard, watching the scene of the road to hell through remote magical images. A huge light curtain with a height of more than 20 meters and a length of more than 50 meters clearly showed the situation at the scene in front of everyone's eyes.
Such a light curtain will be in the ranks of every large army, the purpose is to let the soldiers and generals feel the cruelty of the war in advance, so that they will not be defeated without a fight as soon as they face the natives of the Black Earth Continent. More than five million troops of the Great Qin Empire under Lynn's command also arrived here, bringing the number of troops here to more than 17 million.
The wealthy Lynn directly erected more than a hundred huge light curtains in the barracks, so that all the soldiers could clearly see the tragic scene of the miscellaneous army going to die, so that the soldiers of the Scott Kingdom and other countries were grateful to Lynn, because of Lynn, the more than 10 million troops on the Via Peninsula that originally belonged to the category of miscellaneous armies were arranged to the final battle sequence, that is, they could enter the black soil continent without risk after the troops in front of them opened the road to hell。
This is a privilege that belongs to the Hall family, as for the external explanation, Lynn announced that more than 10 million troops on the Via Peninsula have sworn allegiance to the Hall family, so they are the soldiers of the Hall family, and they can enjoy the privileges of the Hall family, and finally enter the Black Earth Continent. Naturally, many families protested against Lynn's actions, but Donald, who had already felt sorry for Lynn, was unusually strong to threaten all families with family wars, because Lynn appeared without Donald to lead the army, so Sophia also appeared with Donald, and in the face of the threat of the two Chosen Families, the rest of the countries died down, so Lynn had to go.
As for the twelve paladins of the Holy See, they don't think much of Lynn's more than 10 million people, anyway, it must be the army of their twelve holy clans that will make the final contribution, and there is no difference between more and less others, anyway, there is more cannon fodder, after all, the Hall family has worked hard for so many years, and this little privilege is always given, so Lynn and the others can sit in the camp thousands of miles away and watch the battlefield situation safely.
With the rumbling sound, the sea water submerged in the road to hell retreated to both sides, visible to the naked eye, after the sea water withdrew, revealing the road to hell dozens of meters lower than the Ilia Peninsula, next to it is dozens of meters high seawater, there is a translucent film to isolate all the sea water, however, countless fierce and violent sea beasts are not blocked by the film, they have rushed to the road to hell, and after a while, the road to hell that is 444 kilometers long and 13 kilometers wide is crowded, and the number is no less than tens of millions.
At the scene, a row of trumpeters passed by in the ranks of the twelve holy clans, and 1,200 trumpeters blew huge horns, and the sound of whining spread far away for more than ten miles, this was the order to attack, so among the 200 million miscellaneous army ranks, a large phalanx of one million people walked towards the road of hell, and behind them were one hundred and ninety-nine identical large phalanxes.
"Fight, bunnies, you are not fighting for yourself, I don't say any high-sounding beautiful words, you are fighting for your family, you are all from poor families, only if you die in battle, your family will get the dozens of gold coins that are enough for them to live a good life, so let's go to the death together!" At the front of the motley army, a captain officer with a big sword said these words in a desolate and tragic tone, and finally made people understand the origin of these ragtag armies.
They are not armies at all, they are just an army of young men from poor families recruited by various kingdoms and principalities less than a year ago, in order to cope with the expeditions launched by the Holy See, and these countries do not dare to really send their own descendants to die, so that would not give their opponents an opportunity to take advantage of them? The army, who came to the Ilia Peninsula to participate in an expedition that would surely die, received the other half of the honorarium after confirming that they were dead.
"Kill—" , A huge shout of killing roared out from the chest of every ragtag soldier, their young faces were full of desperation and smiles, yes, smiles, they brandished their swords, stepped on a steady pace, and rushed towards the tens of millions of sea monsters, with their own hot blood, to water a wide avenue, thinking that their families could no longer live a poor life, the young soldiers roared and fought with the sea monsters, most of them used the secret technique of self-detonation taught by the Holy See temporarily after rushing out of enough distance, and huge blood flowers bloomed in the middle of the ocean monsters。
One hundred thousand soldiers wiped out millions of demonic beasts and widened the crowded road to hell a little, so a million soldiers rushed in, and they killed tens of millions of demonic beasts, but before the follow-up soldiers could be happy, the sea demonic beasts outside the diaphragm poured in one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the road to hell was crowded into no blank at all.
So, the fighting began again, and the self-explosion kept exploding everywhere, and all the remaining soldiers and generals of the expeditionary army were silent, and they who once boasted of how elite they were, finally understood what a truly cruel war was, the expeditionary war, it was such a cruel and ruthless war, and no one was spared.
