Section 80 Initiative

But the soldiers of the Silent Panic Tribe had long been mentally prepared for the lethality of magic. The soldiers in the back row quickly and calmly filled the gap with their dead comrades.

Densely packed soldiers, keeping the queue out of their positions, moved towards the ranks of the enemy. In order to maintain the attacking formation, they did not advance very fast. The first phalanx was almost all elite with chaotic armor, black and oppressive, like a huge dark cloud, covering the ground, and like a flood without embankment, pressing towards the position of the coalition army.

"How dare they attack?!" In the coalition camp, several commanders, that is, those Chaos Champions, almost all had this question in their hearts. Judging from the vision of the soldiers standing on the front line of the battle column, the attacking speechless panic army was densely packed, pressing over like a mountain of seas, which made people's hearts tight. But from the point of view of these high-ranking officers, they are well aware of the fact that their own side has a great advantage in forces.

According to a human instinct, the weaker side always chooses to be on the defensive, and the superior side chooses to go on the offensive. Therefore, the initiative of the Silent Panic Tribe this time was quite unexpected.

But they were surprised, but not afraid.

Yes, they have an offensive formation, they haven't even finished the formation yet, but they have an absolute advantage in terms of strength. One of the great benefits of having a strength advantage is that you can make a lot of mistakes. In the case of equal strength, maybe a small mistake can make the difference between victory and defeat, but with superior forces, you can win even if you make many mistakes. For example, the formation - the formation is very important, but it does not mean that if the formation is chaotic, you will definitely lose.

Just like a saying in the south: even if it is a famous general who comes out once in a thousand years, what can be offset is only twice the military advantage.

The magic battle is getting more and more intense. In the eyes of ordinary soldiers, perhaps nothing had happened - because most of the magic had failed in interference. These spells are invisible before they can be detected (or effected) by outsiders. From time to time, I could hear a sound like a short thunderclap from the two armies, the sound of a failed spell.

At least two of these magic failures had catastrophic consequences - the wizard who cast the spell was directly torn to shreds by the collapsed magical power. This is a common occurrence for apprentices who are not yet "official" wizards.

A spell finally succeeded, and a devastating magical energy slammed into the right flank of the coalition, the head of the Garth tribal army. The magic was crowded together, and the mass of soldiers preparing to fight exerted its greatest effect, as if the red dye shop was opened in an instant, and countless red liquids splashed everywhere. It was the blood of the dead. Whether they wore Chaos armor or leather armor, it was meaningless in the face of magical powers. Crowds of people fell, blood pouring out of the inside of the human body and spraying outward. Stained the surrounding comrades who were not damaged by magic also red.

The situation was even worse for those warriors in Chaos armor. Countless blood arrows burst out of the cracks in the Chaos armor, drawing a perfect parabola in the sky, and then splattering on the body of their companion like the last brilliant trace.

But after all, the coalition forces have the advantage in magical combat power. They have succeeded in applying a little more magic than the Silent Panic Tribe. If the Silent Panic Tribe successfully casts two spells, the coalition forces can successfully cast three spells.

The strong smell of blood has already permeated the battlefield. The dark red blood found its place on this battlefield. After the army array passed, the weeds on the ground began to greedily absorb the thick blood. In some places, there was so much blood that it was doubtful that the prairie rats hiding under their burrows would drown alive.

One magic after another erupted, and the wizards of both armies were desperate to kill and weaken the enemy as much as possible before the army broke out in a white-knuckle battle, thus reducing the interference with the opponent's magic. The magic battle between the two sides reached a climax at this moment. The energy of the winds of magic is channeled and wreaks havoc on the battlefield. The shattered corpses, torn and torn by the power of magic, flew around, some of the limbs even attached to the bodies of their companions, and then were ripped off by a pair of hands and thrown to the ground.

Except for wizards, no one knows if they are the target of magic. So the soldiers simply stopped caring about this, but focused their attention on the enemy. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the front, and no one knew whose arm had suddenly fallen on top of their heads, or whose blood arrows were flying in front of them. Sometimes, all of a sudden, the people around them disappear, leaving only the remnants of fire and blood.

At this moment, magic seems to be the master of the entire battlefield. It is known that sometimes armor is slightly resistant to magic, and all people can do is pray for this situation, to the gods they revere. But this qiē was just self-deception, and each magic that was successfully unleashed produced enough lethality that the heavy armor of chaos was as meaningless as tissue paper.

However, at times like these, faith becomes their only recourse. Even if no one can say what the effect of praying to God will be, having such a God who can protect you can pray is always a comfort to the human heart, and at least it can give you more hope. Many people who have passed by the Grim Reaper are quietly rejoicing that if they dodge a deadly spell, the chances of other spells targeting their side will be reduced. However, the constant sound of magic explosions, and the occasional flowers of death blooming in the phalanx, put so much pressure on the soldiers that their pace began to quicken, and by the last time they had met the enemy, the slow march had turned into a running charge.

Then, the warriors of the Gass tribe were ready and waiting for the first wave. They didn't have time to complete the Fish Scale Formation, but just expelled a very ordinary (and slightly chaotic) large phalanx. But the first column of the queue had already picked up their shields, ready to ram.

But the formation of the attackers suddenly stopped, the formation of the army in silent panic separated, and a dozen monsters with tentacles rushed out like huge balls of flesh and rushed straight at the enemy.

That's the Chaos Egg. One of the trump cards that Ashrufat managed to buy from various tribes.

Whenever the Chaos Gods pour too much evil into mortals, causing these over-favored humans to eventually succumb to madness and mutation, mortals are turned into Chaos Eggs. The mutation of the Chaos Eggs affects not only the physical body, but also the rationality of humans, so they are no longer human, but only the instincts of beasts, which is not a blessing. Usually, Chaos Eggs are created because of the wrath of the evil gods, as a punishment for the loser. But other times, Chaos Eggs arise simply because the human flesh is not adapted to the power of the Evil God's Gifts. For example, when a Chaos Warrior receives the Divine Grace (also known as promotion to the Chosen Warrior), if he does not deserve the honor, his body will be mutated excessively and eventually turn into a Chaos Egg.

Regardless of the type, when humans become Chaos Eggs, they will not be abandoned by their former relatives. The Chaos Tribes take good care of these Chaos Eggs and treat them as the Tribe's most valuable fighting power. Chaos Eggs are of little value in siege (or camp) combat, as they are not actually good at climbing and jumping, and ditches and walls are very effective at blocking them. If they really want to work, it will have to wait until the time of street fighting. But in the battles of the plains, these monsters have terrible combat power.

The current situation is similar to the time when they fought against the Chaos Legion in the past (at that time, the Chaos Legion also regarded the Chaos Egg as an elite assault force on the front line), but the positions of the two sides were completely lost. Because the number of Chaos Eggs on the coalition side is extremely small.

In an instant, the Chaos Egg rushed into the enemy's formation. Those terrifying tentacles exerted an astonishing destructive power at this moment, and the tentacles swept through the crowd, sending countless human bodies flying around. Being hit by that force is tantamount to being hit head-on by the City Breaker, and even the Chaos armor has no protection.

The formation of the Gass tribe fell into total chaos in an instant. In fact, the Chaos Warriors have more experience in dealing with Chaos Eggs, but because of the chaos of the formation, they are unable to take effective measures.

The magic war continues. Unlike other forces, the Chaos Forces lack the means to attack from a distance. Evil gods don't like their followers to use "cowardly ways" to defeat their enemies, so the Chaos Tribe has never put much effort into creating such weapons. Not to mention large ranged weapons such as cannons and ballistas, even individual ranged weapons such as bows and arrows are poor (hunting bows that are usually used for hunting have a short range and poor power, and are almost no threat to Chaos armor). The more high-quality ranged weapons of the Chaos Tribe are almost all trophies from previous invasions of Gruni - although they are of good quality, they are too limited in number, and their useful life is decreasing year by year. This qiē leads to the distinction in terms of magic warfare. The mages of the Central Seven tend to prioritize destroying each other's spells on the battlefield, or using the power of magic to bolster their allies. Wizards of Chaos, on the other hand, tend to use the power of magic to kill and injure enemies directly.

At this moment, the wind of magic roared violently, and almost all wizards chose to use the magic of direct attack. In the next moment, a powerful magic landed on the head of a Chaos Egg that was frantically attacking, and the magic produced a dimensional flame that destroyed the nature, turning the Chaos Egg into ashes along with a dozen or so people around it.

At the same time, the first line of the two armies is getting closer and closer, and at this time, each can see every detail of the other, including expressions and every scratch on the Chaos armor. The faces were some nervous, some hideous, and some were extremely indifferent. Every detail can be seen clearly. Every warrior couldn't help but clench their weapons and shields, and the white-knuckle battle was about to begin.

Behind the coalition camp, both the Void Thorn Tribe and the Runemaster Tribe have noticed Garth's predicament. The enemy seems to have thrown all of the Chaos Eggs—about twenty in total—on the side of the Gass tribe. Because the Gass tribe did not arrange the formation in time, the front line was not in order, and the personnel were too dense, and in the end, the leader could only let the Chaos Egg rampant and kill. At this time, if the coalition army was controlled by a general with an iron fist, he would definitely send a force from him to support the Gass tribe. Unfortunately, however, the alliance of the three tribes was relatively loose, and no one intended to harm themselves - and they had good reasons - that their side was going to war.

That's right, although the Gass tribe was the first to engage in battle, the silent panic did not use slash tactics. The key to the diagonal tactic is to attack on one wing, defend in the center, and drop back on the other wing to gain a time gap. But this time, the speechless and panicked army was attacking on all fronts, and it was indeed pressed on all fronts. Take the weak side and take the initiative to launch an offensive against the superior side.

This is completely out of line with people's perceptions and habits, and no one knows why. Is it to use the method of active attack to offset the effect of the fish scale formation? Yes, the fish scale formation is an offensive formation, and it suffers a great loss when defending, but since there is such a big difference in the strength of the two sides, this small loss is insignificant -- from a larger point of view, it may be cheap.
