Watching the torches as many as the stars in the sky gradually approaching, Polayu took a deep breath and put down the mask on his helmet!
If the few guide warlocks and demon mages in the city were still there at this moment, then they would be able to stop the enemy by smashing down the cliffs on both sides! But they have all scattered to protect the farm that has been invaded by the insatiable mercenaries! Now Polayu and the soldiers behind him can only use their own flesh and blood to resist the enemy's sharp sword!
However, he did not regret his decision! When he became a nobleman, he had already sworn to Osetin: he would defend the freedom and peace of St. Austin with his blood and life!
"Whew~~" Pola Yu exhaled the air in his lungs, "Everyone prepare!" he said, erecting the huge square shield in front of him and giving orders to the soldiers. .
"Boom~~Boom~~Boom!" Equally huge square shields were erected, and spears protruded from the gaps between shields, forming a low wall of steel and covered in thorns in the narrow mountain path that only allowed only twenty people to walk side by side!
The soldiers in the back row held their shields in the sky to prevent enemy bows and arrows from inflicting parabolic damage on the soldiers behind the shields!
If Feng Kan was here, he would be surprised! This is exactly the infantry dense formation used by the Roman Empire that spanned Europe for centuries - the Macedonian phalanx!
Although they are in different time and space, the trajectories of civilization development are strikingly similar......
"Don't waste your magic power! Pay attention to the change of queues! The rhino and ox clans take the lead! The tower shield array!" With the orders given one by one, one by one the tower shields covered with sharp thorns approaching three meters blocked the gaps on both sides of the mountain road! Behind each tower shield was a giant man with a height close to or more than two meters, and each giant man either had two curved horns or a thick single horn between his foreheads!
There are twenty Rhino warriors and thirty Ox warriors in the team! Although the orcs can't use the guide disk, their natural physical advantage also makes them more suitable to exert their strength in this kind of place! The "Origin Liberation" only has fifteen minutes, and it can only be used when deciding the outcome of the battle!
"Tom, tom, tom~~" The enemy's footsteps are getting faster and faster! The sword and spear wielding in his hand reflect the starlight, so dazzling that people can barely open their eyes!
The soldiers of Jamins were all dressed in hard armor, carved into various fierce and vicious visors, and a pair of cold eyes shimmered with bloodthirsty light underneath!
"Immortal Hum ~~~" A huge bowstring bounced sounded, and Jamins launched the offensive first! Rows of sharp arrows shot up into the sky, rushing down on Polayu's team like a torrential rain!
After a dense "ding, ding" sound of metal crashing, the top of the phalanx was filled with dark arrow shafts!
"Kill~~~~" Jamins' heavy infantry phalanx let out an earth-shattering roar, waving his weapon and pounced on the phalanx made of shields!
"Freedom! Glory!" the two hundred warriors of St. Austan shouted their faith, and their bodies shone with various lights to meet the enemy......
The narrow mountain passage tumbled like boiling water! Jamings's heavy infantry relied on their solid armor to launch one charge after another against the shield phalanx covered with sharp thorns! However, the outstretched spear always attacked in a straight trajectory towards the weak place of their armor! Each attack was able to cause some people to fall to the ground with injuries, and instead of a terrible scream from the blood-spattered ranks, the wounded Jamings soldiers were not rescued, and the people behind them crowded forward regardless of the need, and in a short time the wounded were trampled under their feet... ...
Noisy and chaotic, this is the situation at the point of contact between the two sides at this time, and the piercing sound of the collision of weapons with weapons is connected! The soldiers of Jamins continued to rush to the phalanx like a tide, and soon, the solid spears also broke one after another!
"Ding-ding-clan!" the soldiers of Jammings, who rushed to the phalanx, used their shields, weapons, spikes on their shoulders, elbows, and knees...... All the things that could be used to attack the shield wall were launched! The solid shield wall was undulating like waves towards the surface of the water, but the seemingly fragile shield wall still stood! The St. Austan soldier who lost his spear was fearless, threw the broken spear in his hand, drew the short sword at his waist, and looked for an opportunity to stab it from the side of the shield! Because the view was blocked by the square shield and he couldn't see the other side, many of the Jammings soldiers were injured by the short sword that went up and down like a snake letter! These short and powerful short swords pierced along the gaps in the enemy's armor! waist, thighs, neck, once pierced, the wrist holding the sword immediately turned and twisted and quickly pulled out, ** a torrent of blood......
The tower shields on both sides also played an effect at this time! The sharp spikes kept pushing forward slowly, gradually approaching the enemy in front of them to the center of the front of the phalanx, and the front of the phalanx gradually formed a concave arc! The gaps exposed on both sides of the mountain road were immediately filled by the tower shields behind them! And the St. Austan soldiers behind the team tacitly followed behind to build the same shield wall with the square shields!
Before they knew it, a small part of Jamins' assault team was gradually surrounded! By the time these people realized that something was wrong, there were only solid shields and bright spears left around! In a desperate roar, the divided Jamings soldiers were just hidden in the phalanx......
And the side of the encirclement that met the enemy quickly formed the same phalanx! At this time, the rear formation changed into the front formation, and the front formation slowly retreated, leaving only one corpse in one place like a low tide......
The process is repeating itself over and over again! Dimins' heavy infantry is being eaten away in this way little by little......
The people of St. Austenth love peace! But this does not mean that they are at the mercy of others! Polayu brought out the last soldiers in the city! These are veterans of a hundred battles! Everyone knows in their hearts that behind them is a beautiful hometown, parents, wives and children, and close friends, and if they fall here, then their beloved will be reduced to miserable slaves and bullied, and the hometown they love will become a hell, so they can't retreat!
...............................................................................................................
"What are these fools doing?" Baron Alvin scolded impatiently as he watched the battle with a frown! This is a handsome young man! His soft blonde hair flows soothing in the night breeze, and his ornate armor painted with gold and silver makes him even more formidable! his right hand with metal gloves holds an even more ornate helmet and rides on a white steed without a single stray hair......
"My lord, the terrain here is too narrow! we can't give full play to our numerical superiority!!" the adjutant reminded him worriedly.
"Of course I do! Fool!" Alvin scolded angrily.
They didn't bring any heavy equipment with them for this surprise attack! It's not that they don't want to bring it, but they can't bring it! Because of this, my father spent a lot of money to let him come forward and hire more than a dozen mercenary groups to attack here three months ago!
He admired his father so much!
Two years ago, a broken alchemist invented a ridiculous magic tool, and the alchemist gave this waste a resounding name - "Burning Sun"! What does this magic tool do? It is to form a constant temperature and comfortable space barrier within a certain range! Sounds good, right? Some countries in the north will probably be interested! But don't worry, this thing has no other function than this purpose!
And that's okay, those who have the money will welcome this "little invention" that can create a warm environment in the harsh winter! But, however, the last condition makes this little thing full of family atmosphere completely wasted: if you want to use it, then you have to gather the financial resources of a small and medium-sized country to make it possible! Why? That's because only the highest level of fire elemental conduction circuit crystallization can provide enough magic power for this thing! A highest-purity "Yan Jing" circuit crystallization can only let it run for about ten days!
Just kidding! This thing won't have more than 300 of all of Jenmings! And the way this "Burning Sun" uses circuit crystals is also different from other guiding props! The circuit crystals it uses will not be able to slowly refill with magic like other guiding devices!
This is the crystallization of the use circuit? This is simply burning money!
However, his own father, Count Falgillah, the genius of Jamins, turned this thing that everyone regarded as the funniest joke of all time into a treasure!
A single "scorching sun" can make about 300 people climb over the highest mountain in the Great Bar Mountains, Kanlajima Mountain, without being affected by the forbidden area of the god of ice and snow! After consuming 60 precious "flame essences", they finally came to this Bamir Mountain near the target! Originally, they only had to wait until the soldiers were ready, and after two days of getting in touch with the mercenaries below the mountain, they could easily start moving! But this afternoon, there was an accident! Thinking of this accident, he was so angry that he had nowhere to go! Now he had to start attacking while the target was not completely ready! I didn't expect the other party to react so quickly! Blocking his army on this narrow mountain road!
They must rush through here as best they can! In this kind of narrow terrain, there will always be only a few dozen people in the battle! The superiority in numbers cannot be reflected at all! Only when he reaches an open place can he start a big fight! Otherwise, all the achievements will be wasted, and the enemy's reinforcements will reinforce Caishi Town during this time! By that time, everyone will be buried in the country! There is no way for them to turn back!
Now both sides are scrambling for time! If they can hold out until dawn, they will win! Even if they are all killed, they will be willing!
"What are the Guiding Warlocks doing? won't help me?" Alvin roared! If the Guiding Warlocks join the fray, then this stalemate will immediately change! They are alone, and they can't afford to waste any more troops!
"My lord, if you use a guide spell in such a place, it will cause a mountain to collapse! That is exactly what the enemy wants!" the adjutant was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped the chief's hot-headed move!
".................." Alvin's eyes were red and panting, he didn't understand the stakes, he just wanted to vent!
"Uh-huh...... Hehehe...... Hahaha......" Then he suddenly laughed nervously again, and the adjutant looked at his commander worriedly, afraid that he would be disturbed by frustration at this time......
“...... Don't we still have twenty sets of heavy guiding armor?" said Alvin, with a hideously twisted face and a smile!
"But my lord! That's something that was only used during the siege of the city! We only have these twenty sets of heavy guiding armor, and if we use up the magic power now, it will take half a day to recharge!"
"It's okay!" Alvin laughed even more fiercely, "I believe that the last of the forces of Colorstone Town are concentrated here! Annihilating them here, we will face almost an empty city! Besides, if you don't get through Guò here, what is the use of remaining these elite weapons of our country?
“...... I see!"
"Wait!" Alvin stopped the adjutant who turned around and was about to give the order, "Stop the attack at the front! Form a defensive formation! We can't afford to lose our forces anymore! Since we can't break through their defenses, they don't want to pose any threat to us!"
"Yes, my sir!"
There was a brief break in the fierce fighting, but everyone understood that this was the last calm before the storm!
The Heavy Guiding Armor can't be carried by one person, but fortunately it can be broken down into dozens of small parts! This is the only heavy equipment that Alvin can carry!
The transporters in the team closed the boxes on their bodies! Divided into twenty teams in an orderly manner, took out the parts of the heavy guide armor in the boxes in turn, and felt out the tools on their bodies and began the assembly operation............
After a while, twenty steel giants about three meters tall stood up, and hundreds of guiding force circuit crystals on the solid and broad armor shone one one after another......!
"Bang, bang!!" With the sound of heavy footsteps, the soldiers in heavy guiding armor walked towards the phalanx with slow but irresistible steps......
In the face of the approaching enemy, Polayu's face hidden under the mask became even more solemn! The hands clenching the weapons were already starting to become a little numb at this moment! The soldiers were all tired! But no one retreated! Everyone just held their weapons tighter! The rhino warriors and the ox warriors let out a low beastly roar in their throats! They were ready to release the "Origin Liberation"!
"Didn't expect us to have such equipment as the Heavy Guiding Force Armor?" Alvin smirked, his left hand subconsciously turning the pendant on the necklace on his chest!
That's not an ordinary pendant! This is the "Emma Barrier" made of the dragon crystal of the Gang Armor Dragon! The Gang Armor Dragon is the most defensive dead-footed walking wurm on the Trantac continent! Almost all the guiding spells and magic are ineffective against it! It can only be killed by attacking its soft belly with a sharp weapon! And its dragon crystal is specially processed and made of the "Emma Barrier" is as indestructible as the legendary air fortress "Emadelan"! And its biggest advantage is that it does not use the magic or elemental power of anyone who uses it! Only when attacked, it will automatically spawn a magic barrier two steps around the user!
The previous owner of this "Emma Barrier" was his father! For this mission, his father personally put the "Emma Barrier" around his neck, recalling his father's expectant gaze, Alvin was a burst of enthusiasm!
After the success of this battle, the prestige of Archduke Francis, the lord of Volcan, in the empire will be unmatched! The throne of the emperor will also be at his fingertips! And his family's position in the country will also rise and prosper......
Alvin looked wistfully at the mountains ahead, where he was about to make his mark, and he seemed to have seen the army of Jamins rushing into St. Austin as if it were no man's land, and the filthy orcs, the self-righteous elves, and the lowly dwarves all prostrated before him and begged for mercy......
"Huh?" Alvin narrowed his eyes slightly, and he saw that something seemed to be reflecting the starlight on the mountain in the distance on the opposite side!
“...... Is there snow? This is already at the foot of the Bamir Mountains, how can there be snow?" a few question marks vaguely flashed in his head.
Then, a faint flash of fire flickered, like a firefly flying in a summer night......
This was the last thing Alvin saw......
