Section 338 Lucky

Surprise, anger, and reluctance blended into an impressive expression that froze on Marven's face.

He now finally understood why Ashrufat dared to calculate him so much. From the very beginning, this man named Ashrufat did not fall into his grasp, and from the beginning, it was Marvin's unilateral wishful thinking. Many of his plans are completely airborne, and there is no basis for supporting them at all.

I underestimated him...... Marven came to a conclusion in his head. He had known for a long time that Ashruphat was also a magician, but, out of professional pride (or arrogance), he had never thought in his mind that Ashruphat might not be an ordinary magician, but a genius.

There are indeed geniuses in this world. At least Marven knew a Rogin. That guy Rokin, don't look at it, it's easy to be calculated by Marven in the end, but his ability to innovate in magic research is really enough to make any Tzeentch wizard ashamed, even Marven himself. They have figured out how to defeat a large army with the strength of one person.

If Ashrufat was a genius, it would not be unusual for him to crack Marven's tricks

Ashrufat pulled his clothes and put his coat back on. He didn't speak again, because he didn't say anything. The two sides have a complete showdown, and this gamble ...... Marven doesn't have any gambling books anymore.

The next thing to do is to move forward, and the remaining Chaos Legion in the base camp under Gaohua City is only a few thousand at most, and it is impossible to resist Ashrufat's attack. In fact, it may not be necessary for Ashrufat to take action, as long as he uses magical communication to inform Gaohua City that the defenders of the city should be enough to deal with the small number of Chaos troops under the city.

And the defeated Chaos Legion has been wiped out, and the newly replenished Chaos Legion has definitely not yet arrived...... There was a short-lived vacuum in the defenses of the White Fort. As long as Ashrufat can take advantage of this opportunity, if his luck is not very bad, then there is a great chance to reclaim the White Keep from the hands of the Chaos Legion.

Once the northeastern front returns to its original state, it means...... From now on, Gruni's external threat will be greatly reduced. It may be difficult to say what will happen in the future, at least for the foreseeable future, and it may be impossible for Chaos to repeat the last victory. In this way, I am afraid that the name of Eshuruphat will remain in the history books for a long time, because the feat he established is not comparable to that of Garunas, the sage of the wilderness, at least it will be difficult to be surpassed by future generations.

"Huh...... Hehe...... Hehehaha...... Hahahahaha......" Suddenly, Marven started laughing, and it was getting louder and louder.

Ashruphat immediately kicked the superfluous things out of his mind. He embraced the winds of magic - no caution was superfluous with this bastard wizard. What happened to the little girl before is the best example.

Marven finally stopped laughing, his eyes fixed on Ashrufat.

"Not bad...... Not bad......" Although he said such words, the hatred in Marven's tone was naked. "You are indeed powerful, I underestimated you, Ashrufat. Ah, I have been blinded by arrogance and self-confidence, and have neglected one of the most cunning and dangerous enemies...... From that point on, I did lose this game. The previous expression disappeared from Marven's face, and he returned to his most normal demeanor: calm, smiling, with an imperceptible contempt at the corners of his mouth.

"But, Ishrufat, I'm afraid you've made one of the biggest mistakes. Marven said. "You, like me, underestimate your opponent. ”

He chuckled softly. "You wiped out the entire 70,000 Chaos Legions...... Amazing victory, I congratulate you. ”

His declaration made Ashrufat hesitate. Normally, wouldn't the loser be angry and cursed or leave a non-lethal threat? Although Ashrufat was not a gambler, he knew that the more the loser in the casino congratulated the winner, the more it showed that he was wealthy. Only the strong have the confidence to congratulate the winner.

"Enjoy your victory. Marven said. "But don't think that this is the final victory. ”

After saying this, Marven's figure disappeared in front of Ashrufat. The magic positioning device in Eshurufat's hand (which Eshurufat had taken out of his pocket after Marven appeared) made a slight crunch of metal breaking. Then, the magical device made of metal shattered into several pieces, forming a meaningless pile of scrap metal.

......

On the battlefield, in Beller's line of sight, the battle for magic against muskets continues. The Chaos wizards who didn't have time to fly away are making their last struggles, and they are resisting with magic.

A ghostly, giant pendulum with sharp edges suddenly appears and floats in mid-air. With a command from the Tzeentch wizards, the pendulum swung forward at a very fast speed. It was unclear whether it was a real terrible murder weapon or just a witchcraft trick, but the blow had already crushed a squadron of halberd infantry that was rushing towards it. The soldiers were suddenly attacked by magic and fled in terror.

It took a great deal of effort from their commander to soften his ranks with curses and threats. This kind of thing is very common, and recruits who enter the battlefield for the first time are most likely to collapse under a magic attack, even if the magic attack actually causes a small amount of damage. Because this kind of experience can't be gained in daily training, you will only be able to actually encounter magic attacks on the battlefield.

On the other side, a large number of hurricane-like white-hot light bullets hit the musketeers who were shooting condescendingly on the hillside, causing considerable casualties. However, the musketeers also responded with a full line of bullets. Several Chaos wizards were hit, and their chanting of magic turned into a wail of death.

It's a pity that there are no magicians. Bayral grumbled softly. If he has mages in his troops, even if there are only one or two, they can greatly interfere with the opponent's spell casting and reduce the damage of magical attacks. But complaining aside, Bayrell knew very well that this kind of magic was very bad for the battle of bullets - everyone knew that a magician needed a talent of one in a million, and it would take years or even decades of study to master the secrets of magic, whether it was a wizard of chaos or a priest of the church. But in the case of the musketeers, just bring a farmer over and train for a month.

Swapping mages and musketeers - if not too large in numbers, it would certainly be a loss-making deal.

But even such a loss-making trade is only concentrated in the scope of this small circle. At this moment, the resistance of the Chaos Legion has collapsed, and even the evil god can no longer maintain the fighting spirit of the Chaos Legion. The soldiers who lost their will to fight scattered and fled, but unfortunately, the ambush set by a veteran like Bayrell was not so easy to deal with. Several key nodes have been firmly controlled by him. The routed Chaos Legion was squeezed into a few slightly open areas before being mercilessly shot by Bayral's carefully placed high-altitude fire.

At the beginning of this battle, the Chaos Legion still had 30,000 men, but when the battle ended, I am afraid that there will be no return. Now the fighting has begun to turn to one-sided slaughter. The Chaos Legion is still fighting back, repeatedly trying to see if they can break through the enemy's defenses. But they have become tired and hopeless, and they are just mechanically numb and engaged in futile collective suicide attacks on the enemy. This kind of unorganized and undisciplined attack can usually be shattered with a single wave of bullets or shells. Those who had retreated and those who wanted to continue their advance were crowded together, unable to advance or retreat, and stood in place, only to collapse completely under heavy losses from bullets and crossbow arrows.

......

What about the general? Where is that guy called Bayor? In the high place, Marven searched carefully with his eyes open and unwilling to turn blood-red from anger. The Chaos Lord knew very well that this battle was no longer possible. In this kind of battle of tens of thousands, the power of one person is very limited—no matter how powerful a mage or warrior is. But as a Chaos Wizard, especially a Tzeentch Chaos Wizard, he has at least the last bit of capital, which is to try to destroy the enemy's commander.

It's a pity (as Bayral himself says) that Bayral never wears any conspicuous armor on the battlefield. The commander had been through countless battles, and naturally faced countless dangers, so he finally summed up this very effective experience. In addition to this, he chose a good position - Baylor's command position was in a small wood. Of course, Bayral chose this place not because he expected such a crisis, but because of the excellent view and the shade provided by the trees.

Because of this, although Bayrell actively mobilized troops and mobilized more troops from various temporarily idle fronts to encircle and annihilate "that group of recalcitrant Chaos wizards", Marven could not find his target. He was flying high at this time, and as far as his vision could see, the entire battlefield was in full view. He could only watch as his troops were divided and surrounded, and how his warriors fell in droves under bullets, arrows, and swords.

There is no hope left. Marven knew that although there were still many Chaos Warriors, the battle would not last long. The Chaos Legions are generally considered to be more resilient and tenacious than the Southerners, but they are also human. When they fall into complete despair, they will also abandon their weapons and surrender.

Seeing that he was powerless, this Chaos Wizard finally flew away with the magic disk. He was accompanied by 30,000 soldiers when he set out, but now there are only three or two wizards who are also stepping on the magic disk. This invasion has been a complete failure, and most of the invading Chaos army has been buried in this pagan land.

However, Bayral below did not realize that he had just turned around in front of the door of life and death. He had already made the last resort by this time, and the light cavalry had blocked two sections of the road, turning the entire valley into a death trap. The resistance of the Chaos Legion has also come to an end, and there are already small groups of Chaos warriors who have begun to surrender.

The Chaos Warriors are very reluctant to surrender. For each of them knew very well what they had done in this foreign land, killing, dying, and plundering, which had been their means of glorifying the evil gods, and now became the restraint of their surrender. But at this moment, a qiē does not choose according to their wishes. Because Beller didn't care if they surrendered or not. Accepting surrender naturally has advantages, it can reduce your own casualties, it can shorten the length of the battle, and you can draw more troops to support other fronts in time - but it doesn't matter if you don't surrender, just spend more time.

As Bayrell gradually drew troops and intensified the offensive, the battle against the Chaos Wizards was finally over. The Chaos Wizards fought back with magic and inflicted heavy casualties, but they couldn't win in this situation, not even escape. Bayral sent his troops to intercept the front and back, and the repeated charges, in addition to the seemingly never-ending firing of the musketeers. Magic is a drain on people's energy, and it's not something that can be used infinitely - the Chaos Wizards eventually ran out of energy in this high-intensity battle, and all of them were killed on the battlefield.

The battle is nearing its end. The remaining Chaos warriors had completely lost their will to fight, and they no longer resisted, surrendering to the victors in droves.

As soon as Bayral, who was on high in the air, was sure of his victory, he gave the order as soon as possible. "Robin, send a message to Eagle Falcon City immediately, we have completely annihilated the Chaos Legion...... Ashrufat sent me good news as soon as I was victorious...... Without further ado......"
