Section 131 Victory or Defeat

The situation on the left has initially stabilized. The number of demons in the catacombs is not too large, probably only a few hundred, followed by ordinary ghouls. Comparatively speaking, ordinary ghouls pose a much less threat to trained greatswordsmen. The battle was already in a stalemate, and the two sides were fighting around the fort, and at this time the struggle on the fort had ended, and the remaining bats had been completely wiped out by the gunners due to their small numbers.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. The gray cloak sighed. Under his control, the footage is further zoomed in, showing a group of greatsword warriors and a grave demon fighting to the death. The Tomb Spirits are swift and agile and use their sharp claws to fight. Although it was hit repeatedly, one of the greatswordsmen was torn or scratched each time. The poison on the claws was unusually violent, and all the wounded collapsed in a short time.

"Just now, the Scarlet Duke was only one step away from breaking through the enemy formation. He said with some regret. In the picture, the tomb demon was eventually cut off by a sword, causing it to lose its balance and fall, and then its body was dismembered by the sword.

"It doesn't have to be a breakthrough. Yilan's eyes were fixed on the picture, and she replied casually. "There are still not enough demons in the tombs, and they have been blocked just now. ”

"It's going to be breached. The situation just now...... They had disrupted the formation of the greatswordsmen and disrupted them entirely. Although it seems that the impact power has been consumed little by little, in fact, in a short time, the greatsword soldiers will completely collapse because they cannot withstand the heavy casualties. Unfortunately, the magic just now changed all that. The Scarlet Duke has no chance of winning. ”

"How can I see that the Greatswordsmen are still at a great disadvantage?" Ilan asked rhetorically.

"It's at a disadvantage. The gray cloak replied. "If you don't take into account the rest of the battlefield, just looking at the battle on this wing, the defeat of the greatswordsmen is only a matter of time, and over time, the accumulation of casualties, they will eventually be defeated. But here are the most elite troops of the Scarlet Duke. The combat effectiveness of the other troops is not comparable to that of the Tomb Demons. I think the original idea of the Scarlet Duke was to use the Tomb Demon Assault to break the enemy's left flank by surprise and flank Leto. It's a pity that he didn't properly estimate the strength of both sides, at least not taking into account the magic factor......"

"Those spells were beautiful. Ylan smiled slightly. "However, in order to successfully cast spells against the interference of the other party, the magicians have already expended a lot of energy. I'm afraid there isn't much magic power on Leto's side right now. ”

"Magic is not gold in the hands of Scrooge, it is a consumable on the battlefield. It's not a waste to use it in the right place. The few magic just now were not wasted at all, first destroying the most difficult bats, and then containing the grave demons. There is nothing to regret anymore. As the gray cloak spoke, the picture was zoomed out again, revealing the overall situation of the battlefield. "Now on the surface, it seems that the right flank of the Scarlet Duke is still one line away from crushing the enemy. It's like a bowstring, even though it's pulled to the limit, it's barely a little bit of strength to pull it. It would take him a lot of time to defeat the Greatswordsman, and what he lacked most now was time. ”

"I remember that there were some ghosts and dire wolves in Ashrufat, why didn't they show up......"

"He's gone. During the battle with the Hama Clan, he sent too many ghosts and dire wolves to harass him. The remaining number of these troops is too small. In the outpost battle of the musketeers just now, all of his remaining 100 or so dire wolves were annihilated. The rest of the ghosts were placed by him along with the zombies, and it seemed that he was going to carry the charge of the Iron Knight. ”

The scene moves between the two armies under his manipulation, and finally shifts to the conspicuous figure in the middle of Ryan's army. This man was none other than Leto, who was dressed in ornate armor and a flamboyant cape, standing out in the crowd. But Leto's face was angry and anxious, and he was angry and angry, and he was giving orders to the people around him. After watching this scene, the screen changes position again, and now it can be clearly seen that the Hurricane Cannon is turning its muzzle. It is clear that the artillerymen have been given orders and are ready to move. At this moment, the center and left flank of the Scarlet Duke were still slowly advancing. The skeleton warriors in the center are faster, the zombies on the left flank are slower, and the ghouls on the right flank have broken through into the enemy line, forming a diagonal line as a whole.

"You see, the artillery is about to open fire on the skeletons. With so many blast cannons fired, it was enough to directly wipe out thousands of skeleton warriors at once. By the time the two sides engage, the Storm Cannon will be able to fire at least twice...... In other words, this battle," the gray cloak judged. "The Scarlet Duke has already lost. ”

"Do you want to bet?" Elan suddenly laughed.

"Bet, bet on winning or losing this battle?"

"The man I have my eye on, it is impossible to lose so easily. Ylang replied.

"Why do you judge that?" asked the gray cloak in surprise. "The facts are in front of you, and you still don't want to accept it?"

"A woman's instinct is just that. Yilan smiled, put down the hand that had been supporting his chin, and sat back in his chair. "You see, Leto and Ashrufat are two very different men. One has the advantage of the time and place, but it is huddled there in a defensive formation waiting to be beaten, and the other has the courage to take the initiative in many ways, although it is unfavorable in many aspects. As a woman, I instinctively feel that the former cannot win against the latter. ”

"Ha Lu Ha. Maybe that's the case under normal circumstances. Regardless of Leto's military capabilities, his idea of building a fort was quite ingenious. You see, although the fighting is in full swing below, there is almost no impact on the turret. I remember that this fort was originally a dirt slope, and they dug it up around it, leaving a ring in the center of the top of the hill as a fort. The gray cloak smiled, "Don't say that the greatswordsman hasn't been defeated yet, even if they are, it's useless...... Without the relevant machinery and equipment, this fort could not be climbed. And as long as this turret is in Leto's hands, the Scarlet Duke has no chance of victory. Unless he still has a unit capable of flying to come and harass the artillery. ”

"He can use magic. The Dark Mage should still have enough energy to cast spells now. ”

"That's useless, Bernando has at least ten demon-breaking scrolls in his hand. Ylang," the gray cloaked gaze left the frame and looked at Ylan. "Admit it, you've lost the bet this time. He said in a pleasant tone.

"You just said that the right flank of Ashrufat is only one line away from crushing the enemy, right?"

"Although it is only the last line, if you can't do it, you can't do it. ”

"You see, the last line is coming. Ylan smiled and pointed her hand forward.

......

"The artillery signaled that the enemy had entered the effective firing range, and they were asking if they wanted to open fire. ”

"Shoot now!Deal with the skeletons first!" Leto ordered viciously. Although everyone in his subordinates looked as usual, he suspiciously felt that everyone was secretly laughing at his gaffe.

The gunners received the order and immediately began to turn the direction of the cannon and began to set the muzzle height. All of them are experienced artillerymen, and things like this can be done in a matter of minutes.

"Also, Lord Bernando, please be aware that if a vampire tries to attack the artillery with any magic, you must stop it. Leto ordered. He was a little distraught, and even forgot that he had given a similar order a long time ago, and at this time he was just repeating.

"Rest assured, Your Highness. Bernando didn't look impatient. At this moment, he was sweating profusely and panting slightly. "The distance is in our favor. If it's just to break the opponent's cast, there shouldn't be any problems. I can't do it, and I can still use the Demon Breaker Scroll. However, "he changed the subject. "Your Highness, the left flank of our army has fallen into a bitter battle and must be reinforced. ”

In fact, Leto has already seen this. However, he also knew that the Giant Sword Soldier would never be in danger of collapsing in a short period of time. The crucial magic just now turned the tide, and once the momentum of the attack was lost, it was difficult to recover. The artillery on the turret was very safe, and everything was still under control.

Although the vampire's assault this time was indeed frightening, it was only a frightening one.

"Don't worry, Lord Bernando. Leto replied. "There's no need to worry too much. You see, the artillery has already completed the adjustment of the direction of firing. They were about to refill their ammunition and then fire. Before approaching in the center of the enemy, the artillery could fire three times. In this way, by the time the enemy is in close contact, there will probably not be even a third of the skeleton soldiers left in the center. Even with black magic, it was useless, but the cannonballs were crushed along with the bones, and it was almost impossible to reawaken them with black magic. ”

The artillery then has enough time to turn around and shoot zombies...... Vampires, you're going to pay!" Leto thought viciously to herself.

Although the left flank was attacked unexpectedly, his set-up proved to be flawless. Even the Bayrell, who has the title of "Vampire Slayer", is nothing more than that.

......

"Ahh Robin turned his head to look and saw Beller rubbing his nose hard.

Because there is nothing special today, the two of them are drinking tea boringly in the living room at the moment. Baylor was drinking tea and reading a book with a leisurely demeanor, while Robin had no idea what he was drinking in his mouth, and his mind flew to the battlefield far away.

The magician has sent a communication from the last of the main forces. This morning, Leto is already in the purple stone formation, and will face off against the vampires.

Although Bayrell had clearly explained his true plans before, Robin was still worried about a battle that had nothing to do with him in essence.

"Strange, how can I sneeze? Could it be that someone is talking about me?" said to BΓ©ral in a relaxed voice. He looked up and noticed the look on Robin's face. Robin is still very young, and has not yet learned the ability to hide things in his heart and not show them on his face.

"What's the matter, Robin, are you thinking about the showdown between Leto and the vampires?"

"General, I'm thinking about it...... But no matter how you look at it, I think Leto has a better chance of winning. You said it doesn't matter, but I still care. ”

"Ha Luha, you say, Leto has a better chance of winning?"

"Well, I guess it's big. He already has too much of an advantage...... You taught me this. You see, it was Leto who retreated from the vampire pursuit, so he was given the opportunity to choose the battlefield. In addition, he was even given a whole day to set up the battlefield. Robin analyzed. "Secondly, Ryan's army is indeed superior to the undead legion in terms of combat effectiveness. In this case, I really don't understand what you mean by 'fight to the death'. Didn't you say that the outcome of the battle is ultimately determined by the strength of both sides? Leto chooses the battlefield, and the vampire loses the possibility of surprising victory. So I think the advantage has expanded to the point where even an idiot can win the battle. ”

"Indeed, in fact, all you need to do is give the order to attack the whole army casually...... But Leto was still going to lose. ”
