322: Victory by a wide margin
Elrens, Jole, and Mirina attacked the Aegis released by the Cardinal one after another, but it was never effective. The four cardinals seemed to have made up their minds to delay time, and they gave up counterattacking, just kept urging mana to strengthen the defense of the Aegis. As a result, the two sides confronted each other for a while and still could not tell the winner.
The shouting on the battlefield was still fierce, but Daedalus's mood was much lighter. By this time the sky was already slightly white, and dawn was approaching, and in a few more hours it would take a few more hours for the second reinforcements from Naples to arrive, and the victory would be decided, and the enemy in front of him would be annihilated. However, just when the cardinals were full of confidence, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed!
On the defensive position on the left flank of the Western Roman army, it was originally faced with the three thousand Anatonian legions. Although the offensive of the enemy was quite fierce from the beginning, the Western Roman army did not retreat and resisted bravely, not only did not have the upper hand, but caused the enemy to suffer heavy casualties, the offensive became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped the attack completely. Just when the Western Roman warriors felt relieved, they were shocked to find that a behemoth had appeared in the opponent's formation, not only that, but there were also a large number of low-flying metal monsters behind them!
The monster is tens of meters high, the shell is not made of gold or stone, the body is decorated with five-pointed stars of different shapes, and its arms are also attached to two huge star-shaped shields, which are the Minoan guardian colossus controlled by Oni! Only then did he suddenly rush out from behind!
With every step forward of the Minoan Guardian Colossus, the earth seemed to tremble! The Western Roman warriors were amazed by such a huge monster. I want to organize a defense but I can't do it!
"Get out of the way, if you don't want to die, don't get in the way!"
Oni shouted excitedly, the puppet army led by her attacked very sharply, only to see the guardian colossus rush into the enemy's position, and everything that stood in its way was trampled to pieces by it!
In order to salvage the situation, the desperate Western Roman army concentrated the most elite knights of the Atonement and the Samonai gladiators to launch an unprecedented suicidal counterattack. However, these offensives were quickly and easily dismantled. The Guardian Colossus of Minos was like a hill that ran all the way forward, unable to stop it, and the combined ground-air strikes of the Flying Puppet and the Anatonian Legion caused the enemy heavy losses.
Not long after. The suicidal counterattack of the Western Roman warriors failed completely, leaving behind thousands of corpses and fleeing in panic. The left flank was strewn with corpses, and the Western Roman warriors finally collapsed completely after losing more than sixty percent, after Oni led the puppet troops and the Anatonian legion to simply clean up the battlefield. immediately launched an attack on the enemy's right flank. Just in time for the enemy army coming from the right flank
Reinforcements from the right flank had arrived desperately, but the left flank had collapsed faster than they had expected, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely defeated, and by the time the reinforcements finally arrived, the outcome had already been decided. The Western Roman warriors who rushed to support were so shocked that they did not know whether to continue the attack or defend on the spot or retreat immediately. However, Ou Ni and the others didn't wait for them to react at all, and directly launched a fierce charge towards the enemy who was still in a daze, and almost immediately defeated this group of enemies in one fell swoop!
By this time. The Western Roman army on the ground battlefield could no longer recover its decline, and Oni led the puppet army and the Anatonian legion to wreak havoc like a tiger into a flock of sheep. Wherever they passed, they killed the enemy on their backs and overturned their horses, and soon even the right flank position was broken. Immediately afterwards, the Illyrian coalition forces converged and flanked the main force in the middle of Western Rome with the Tiger Shark Knight of the Mermaid Kingdom.
At this time, the morale of the Western Roman warriors was already extremely low, and they no longer had the courage to resist, although the generals who led the team were still trying their best to maintain the formation, but it had no effect. The Western Roman warriors laid down their weapons and fled in all directions, desperately running in the direction of the city of Rome, and those who were surrounded or wounded and could not flee simply surrendered on their knees, and there was no longer the strength to resist on the battlefield.
When the four cardinals saw such a tragic situation in the sky, their eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the 20,000 Western Roman elites were lost in the blink of an eye, and their hearts were simply dripping blood! But they had no choice, and they were at a disadvantage in the contest with the three-headed black dragon, and they had to go all out to avoid being defeated by the other side, and where could they spare their hands to rescue the ground battlefield? Only then did Daedalus realize the other party's trick, and it was ridiculous that he thought that with twice the enemy's strength, he would definitely be able to achieve victory. I didn't expect that the other party was small in number but extremely elite, and the Western Roman army was not an opponent at all, and now it was too late to regret it!
Now the battle is decided, but what to do next, Daedalus still has no clue. If you want to retreat, I am afraid that the floating fleet behind you will not escape the fate of annihilation, but if you continue to hold on, it is very likely that not only will the floating fleet not be able to escape in the end, but even they will be wiped out by the enemy! There are only twelve cardinals in the Holy See, and so far, they have lost two in this battle, and they will never be able to withstand the huge blow of losing four cardinals again!
At this moment, Macaria suddenly exclaimed, "The Naples floating fleet is running away!!"
Daedalus was taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look, only to see that the floating fleet behind him had been divided into two groups, one was the main battleship, which quickly turned its bow in the rumbling artillery fire, and prepared to flee backwards, and the other group, which was all composed of destroyers and other light warships, was desperately rushing towards the enemy position, intending to carry out a suicidal attack in order to cover the retreat of the main force!
The Eastern Floating Fleet on the side of the Illyrian coalition was naturally clear about the enemy's intentions, and they immediately concentrated their firepower to bombard the enemy's main battleship, but the opponent's adamantite armor was several meters thick, and it could not be easily sunk for a while
