660. Sacred traditions are thus determined
Although the Jackals are rude and mostly bred, their war experience is ranked among the highest on the entire continent.
After all, four hundred and fifty years have passed since the first black plague, and in these hundreds of years, the gnolls have either fought with the entire continent or with rival clans, and it is not an exaggeration to call them a "war race".
It can be said that if fighting is also a talent, then the gnolls belong to the existence of this talent, and with their already exaggerated physical fitness, these guys can still live their own noisy little life in the dark mountains in the hundreds of years of joint strangulation on the mainland.
The direct consequence of the war inheritance from our ancestors is that even if a group of gnolls are airdropped onto an uninhabited desert island, the first thing they can make will always be a fortress and weapon for war.
For example, this seemingly ordinary highland position in front of you.
After the newcomers of Translancia used the explosive self-detonation tactics to gnaw away the first line of defense and take out the Overseers who had come to take over, they were not in front of them with a chaotic camp that they could push through.
On the contrary, after the first line of defense was destroyed, the gnolls in the inner positions not only did not panic, but began to form a formation to meet the enemy under the command of various minor overseers.
Especially when Colonel Fraser, commanding about two-thirds of the artillery, pushed forty field guns to a suitable position and began to project fire at the gnolls' camp, preparing to replicate the coordinated charge with the Trancians, the Archoverseer of the Claw-splitting claws in the camp immediately sensed the danger.
It gave a frantic order for the gnolls in the second position to charge the enemy with the precision projectiles of the plantagenet artillery.
It's not the same thing as Trancia rushing under gunfire, it's basically the same as asking the gnolls to jump out of cover to protect themselves and face the scorching cannonballs of destruction.
However, this real death order was soon executed.
Because the little overseers of the Gnoll in the double position soon discovered the biggest problem with this invading army, their firepower was seriously insufficient!
Forty field guns were scattered to cover even a third of the Gnoll's position, and the first position was captured only because the soldiers there were bluffed, and if they had been frightened and had mustered up the courage to rush out of their positions and fight the Trancian in close quarters, they would have easily discovered this problem.
Those field cannons are only used to scare people, and it would be foolish to expect them to be able to crush the army of gnolls.
The Gnolls are not the kind of junk army that collapses when bombarded, and they are bold.
In fact, it is true, in Qin Ye's plan, there has never been an illusion of relying on artillery to crush the enemy, if they are followed here by the artillery of the brass dwarves with the "tradition of superior firepower", then there may be some hope.
But it's a pity that those brass dwarves who look mighty are a bunch of fucking cowards!
Colonel Fraser was unable to bring real heavy artillery with him in order to maintain his speed, so when the gnolls in the second position began to charge under the artillery bombardment, the player's overwhelming offensive was quickly contained between the first and second positions.
The vanguard camp on high ground has a total of three lines of defense, and if the player can capture the second line of defense, they will win, but conversely, if the gnolls hold the second line of defense, the player must retreat immediately.
They are seriously undernumbered, and once they move from a raid to a frontal assault, then everything is over.
After seeing that the formation breakers were blocked, Lao Qin, who was carrying the chainsaw sword, gave an order almost immediately:
"Let the formation breakers shrink the battle circle and transfer 400 people up! Blow up the gnolls' front for me! ”
Qin Ye, who was nicknamed "Old Warlord" by the player, pointed to the melee battlefield in front of him and shouted to the adjutant Qing Dynasty veteran:
"Get General Maxim and his men ready to rush in as soon as the front is opened! They must storm the third position to slash the enemy commander, and the players will stay here to buy them time.
There are too few of us to afford it!
Only by demoralizing the gnolls and crushing them will we be able to win! ”
Qing Dynasty veterans wanted to speak and stopped.
He really wanted to tell Qin Ye that you are just a major, and the other party is a general, and you have no authority to command others, but seeing Lao Qin's hideous face at this time, the adjutant immediately ran to convey the news.
Fortunately, Maxim is also a pragmatist, and the fact that he can bring people here shows that he is also hungry for a victory.
What's more, tonight's war has another meaning for Maxim.
"Please tell Major Qin that my warriors and I will definitely live up to the opportunity and time that the warriors have fought for, even if we give everything, we will definitely kill the enemy chieftain!"
The monster general assured the player, and as his KPA soldiers put the finishing touches, Maxim took a few steps back and said to Lady Leenia, who was taking out the trait arrows and putting them in their quivers:
"You'll have to follow me to kill the Claw Overseers, you'll have to get their hands on its head, and you'll have to destroy the banners on this position with your own hands."
"Come on, Mark, I know what I'm going to do."
Lady Leenia was still not used to this kind of "credit to the door" situation, but tonight was different, and the anxiety of the battle situation before her made it completely understandable that the Gentiles of Transencia were pushing forward with a sloppy but resolute battle at the risk of total annihilation.
She didn't come by gilding her credits.
The mission she has to undertake is not an easy one.
However, at this time, the powerful archer knight did not forget to ridicule her weak "gossip boyfriend", and she whispered:
"When you, a black iron elite, escorted me to a silver archer, could you please not show this bad momentum that you are the dominant one? You know, a lot of the time it's me who protects you. ”
"Tonight is different."
Maxim was not as silent as he had been, and he warned:
"Tonight is a raid! It's a military adventure that shouldn't be executed, and I can understand that the warriors are here for profit, but their strategy, if successful, can be game-changing.
We are all part of this plan.
And we take on the most important and dangerous part of the plan, so you have to be prepared. I don't deny that I have my own selfish motives here, but for that reason I can't bring a defeat to my master, which would make me ashamed of the Blood Vulture Clan, destined to be great and rising. ”
"What did you just say you were going to prepare?"
Leenia put an elven war knife at her waist, flicked her hair and asked, Maxim glanced at her, helped her bring the helmet of the Blood Alliance clan, and whispered:
"Prepare to die here! I declare in advance that I will not take a step back until I hold the victory with my own hands! It's a pledge of loyalty I've made to Master Murphy, and it's time to fulfill it. If you die, I will remember you for the rest of my life.
If I die, I hope you can do the same. ”
The archers were silent for a moment, she knew that this kind of bad love words was the limit of what Maxim could say.
She glanced back at the soldiers who were making final preparations for the assault.
The KPA elite who had been brought out by Maxim had no deserters, no noise or noise, and they were silently sorting out their equipment, each with a small syringe made by a halfling on their belt.
Reenia knew it contained diluted source blood, and when the soldiers sensed that death was imminent, they would not hesitate to use it, transforming themselves from humans into members of the Vulture Clan.
After dying in battle as a human, use the power of a vampire to once again dedicate a second loyalty to your homeland and lord.
The speed at which Source Blood transforms into Blood Clans is very fast, but the lack of coercive restraint of blood deeds creates Free Bloods that are considered very "dangerous" by other clans, an ancient and expensive tradition that no clan would use in this era.
However, Murphy regained a tradition that had been nearly forgotten in the midst of the Black Plague.
That unique vampire lord hated the first hug, and in this way he wanted to forge a new, more noble, and even more terrifying tradition for the Vulture Clan in this war.
Every member of the New Blood Vulture is an elite soldier who has survived a hundred battles, which is enough to ensure that the New Blood Vulture Clan has the determination, purpose, and courage that the Seven Clans have never had, and the future that Murphy has set for his clan is even stronger and more radical than the current Blood Alliance Clan!
It's really hard to imagine what Murphy was going to do with such a vampire army?
Leenia keenly felt that perhaps it was not only the situation on the continent that was about to change in this black plague, but also the ancient traditions and balance that the vampire clan had maintained for thousands of years.
"They charged!"
Maxim took his vulture helmet from his lieutenant and fastened it to his head, pointing ahead, and Leenia looked back to see hundreds of newcomers with explosives on their backs, howling under the cover of artillery fire, rushing forward to the melee positions that could never open the gap.
She watched as the recruits, who couldn't even hold their swords, drank the poison, and then, defied all danger, crashed into the mad kobold and threw explosives and Molotov cocktails.
She also saw that before their lives were ended, they often activated the "Last Stand" spell, turning their lives into a dazzling firework that blew the way forward for their compatriots behind them.
Reinia knew the Contract, it was a sorcerer's trick, and no one on the continent would use that madness, but that malevolent power had been mastered by the Transansians and used against their enemies.
Whether they were really fearless or not, the archers could not confirm.
But at least on this battlefield, these guys called "Meng Xin" are definitely the bravest group of people, and even the soldiers under Maxim's command will watch those brave men sing and step into death with respect and even yearning.
Of course, although their names are "Moe Xin", their hideous appearance when they are surrounded by jackals and kobolds, shouting slogans to detonate the detonation spell is really not cute at all, not cute at all!
One after another, the new ones threw themselves into the line guarded by the gnolls and kobolds in front of them, like eggs smashed on the city wall.
The eggs are so fragile, and the walls are so strong.
The purple-black storm of corrosion was stimulated, and it was soon squeezed by more gnolls, like countless hands trying to extinguish the flames.
Because the formation was too dense, at the end of the new self-detonation tactic of 400 people, at least three times the number of kobolds and gnolls were taken away, but such a ferocious self-explosion failed to tear apart the second position guarded by the gnolls, and even Colonel Fraser realized the seriousness of the situation and smashed his own cannonballs into the "high wall" built by the gnolls.
Gnoll reinforcements from other positions, now defending the Wild Breach Heights beneath the heights, guarded by the Hussars and Riptide Knights.
There is not much time left for Lao Qin.
"Come again!"
Qin Ye clenched his fists, and he roared:
"This time it's 800 people! You take the lads and charge with them, and be sure to go up and hold steady when the line of defense is torn apart! Leave room for NPCs to pass through. ”
"They are all ordinary human beings, Master Qin, it's better to let them go."
The blood-covered giant shark had just rushed to kill a wave, and he carried a buzzing tomahawk and roared:
"We can complete the kill! I'll see you if it's not done! ”
"Don't make a fuss!"
Lao Qin glanced at the giant shark and said:
"Now it looks like 1,000 Transian humans, and when they rush in, they'll turn into 1,000 Blood Vulture Vampires, and if you veteran players think you're better than 1,000 Vampires, then I can give you a try.
Want to give it a try? Giant shark? ”
"Uh, forget it, although my giant shark is reckless, I'm not stupid, I still know simple math problems."
The Giant Shark grinned, gasped for breath in place, and roared again to lift the Vam Decapitator and charge into the battlefield position ahead.
The 800 budding death squads were quickly singled out, and Qin Ye reminded them before they set off:
"Don't rush up and blow yourself up, I don't have time to teach you the three-three system now, but have you ever seen a war movie? Will the Ladder Charge be? A group of 100 people is divided into 8 groups, and the first group blows up the second group.
Now the pursuit is not the number of kills, but the opening of the second position as soon as possible!
Brothers!
You've got enough assists to get all the armor and weapons you need from the Black Flame Pass Quartermaster's Office, and you've got what you want, but I want to tell you that we're here tonight with more than just one set of armor!
We can get even greater!
We can still hold the victory of the war with our own hands!
We are not spectators, we are not foot men, and we are not the aftermath of the historical background board!
Look here and look around!
We are the protagonists of this battle, and a new future will be created by our own hands!
I won't hide it from you!
I didn't want to go back alive tonight!
Either win the battle and go back to be a hero, or die here as a martyr, and when you are done, it's my turn, brothers.
Tear through that line of defense and send our NPCs in!
This position will be defeated by our own hands, and this high ground will become a legend like Fort Courage after tonight, and no amount of gnolls will be able to change this ending! We. We've already won! But we're not satisfied!
We're going to win more! ”
"! It's on fire. ”
Although he is not a veteran player, he is willing to be a death squad and holds up his adventurous assistant, who is still broadcasting, shouting to his audience in another world:
"Brothers, I'm going to deliver it! You'll see for yourself how heroic I am in a moment, and let's not do all that fancy work! Say rush! Rush Rush!
Come, brother, give me the flag!
I'm a high level, so I can carry more. ”
He also reached out to take the battle flag of the People's Army from the budding new "Tata Kai" next to him, and shook it a few times decently, so that the two young brothers who were protecting him, Tata Kai and Yi Zi Ta Kai, also let out a childish war cry.
Organized into the third group, they followed the first two groups into the field, following the footsteps and routes of the previous newcomers, screaming and rushing up to throw explosives, and then as close as possible to the hideous gnolls in the flames caused by Molotov cocktails, and then blew themselves up.
This time, the newcomers adopted Lao Qin's tactics, no longer blindly bombing, but resolutely rushing forward in a group of steps.
The gnolls were caught off guard by this change, and they also knew that the position was dangerous, so they used it from both sides to try to break the torn "rift", but eight successive self-explosions completely blocked all efforts of the gnolls to turn the tide.
Veteran players are going crazy too.
Seeing that the newcomers finally tore apart, how could they give up such a good opportunity?
The vampires who struck into it activated the Blood Thirst, and Brother Meow and his men used their magic again, and most of the highland was dyed into a sea of green grass.
At the most critical moment, Knight Liwen finally prepared the ritual of communicating with the Holy Spirit of the East, she was only the eye of the Holy Spirit and not the true sense of the Divine Choice, so she needed to use these rituals to attract the power of the Astral Dragon to descend on the material world.
Liwen's left eye had completely turned into a jasper snake pupil, and as she called and roared in Callum language, a huge amount of cyan clouds and mist converged into a purifying streamer under the night, inflicting a "wind body cloud body" that exempted her members from one-third of the damage, and at the same time sprinkled a punitive purifying jade fire on the opposite jackal.
Most of the night sky was lit up by a storm of jasper's fire!
It's like daylight.
The firelight sprinkled on the ground, turning the earth into glass marks, and the god of war Daen, who was holding high the battle flag, was like a rampaging self-detonating truck, shouting "Fight, cool!" In the strange screams of the whole life, the brother who fell in front of him jumped and was extremely lucky to rush to the forefront.
Ahead were four or five equally red-eyed gnolls waiting for him.
Daen's eyes were red, and in the midst of the continuous brushing of the barrage and the cheers of the barrage, he pounced on it and triggered the last battle spell, so that the last purple-black storm finally exploded the last corner of the second line of defense.
The jackals still want to fight back.
But in the midst of the flying wings, Maxim, who was carrying a skull-crusher, descended from the sky, and the scarlet slash slashed all the gnolls that surged around him, and Leenia flew into the third line of defense hundreds of meters ahead, taking the Claw-Claw Overseer's tent.
Behind them, 1,000 KPA soldiers are escorted by the players into the heart of the Gnoll's position, where they fight with the elite guards of the Splittal Chieftain.
It is unlikely that they came out alive as humans.
But Rao was like this, and still no one quit at the last moment.
"The next thing is to kill!"
Lao Qin, who was slashing frantically with a saw chain sword, shouted to the players next to him in the splash of blood:
"You don't have to keep your hands anymore and fight until the last minute. Well? Who's over there? Why is there still an army? ”
"Master Qin, you're dizzy, that's Colonel Fraser's artillery unit, look, he's still flying the battle flag of the Capet family, it seems that they ran out of shells so they came to support on foot. Is this an assist? ”
"Rub, you can rub, let them rub! Doing this is already the limit of our time, alas, the number of players is still too small to be useful! Next, it depends on whether our NPCs can help or not. ”
