Chapter Four Hundred and Fortieth: Charge(1/2)
Heavily armed cavalry roared past, and the confused people were confused in the wind. Although Raymond and other responders who came from behind had completed most of the evacuation work, the people fighting on the front line still felt a little confused.
They didn't even realize that the monsters that were fighting with them a second ago were gone. By the time they reacted, mutants were flying all over the sky.
That's right, flying all over the sky...
Accompanied by a series of dull crashing sounds, countless decayed and cold bodies were thrown high into the air, and then smashed to the ground in abnormal twists. Although most of them had no missing parts of their bodies, these low-level immortals
It is also difficult for a living thing to get up from the ground with 80% of its bones broken.
"This...what exactly is going on?!"
Eman stared dumbfoundedly at the knights who kept passing by him, like a silly cat with a stunted brain. The vertical pupils that were about to meet were looking at the knights, Raymond and the mutants flying all over the sky.
Switching back and forth, it was filled with shock and confusion.
Raymond laughed dryly, spread his hands and said: "To put it simply, the Knights have entered the scene, so from now on, they will replace the first to third battle orders and become the final main force in this stage, and we will be in a few
Integration and reorganization will be carried out in minutes and the cover mission will be carried out."
Luo Mu even forgot about the severe pain in his ankle for a moment and exclaimed: "Wait a minute? How come we don't know about this? Logically speaking, shouldn't there be three battle sequences taking turns to fight those things to the death? Isn't the Knights?
Have you been sent to the two cities in the south?"
Raymond shrugged: "Don't ask me, I'm still covered."
"Then why..."
"Let me explain."
Yu Ying's figure appeared beside the three of them at some point. She coolly tugged on the long red scarf at her collar that was once again strangled around her neck, and said calmly: "To put it simply, the Knights were not sent at all.
Over in the Twin Cities, they have never left Hodil Mountain Road from the beginning. They are just waiting on a slope not far from the first enemy contact area, waiting until the time is right...that is, now
, and then charge towards the enemy."
Emang tilted the leopard's head in confusion and said in confusion: "But, Chief Yuying, if that's the case, why did you tell us that the Knights are not here before?"
Luo Mu also had the same confusion in his eyes, but Raymond, who had received the news earlier, blinked twice thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something.
"It's very simple, because we can't give everyone hope."
Yuying glanced at the paladins who were still flying mutants and rushing into the position, and said lightly: "Perhaps under certain circumstances, 'there is another knighthood' will become everyone's pillar.
But under the premise that they have to wait until a specific time to attack, their existence will become a haze for you. For example, Luomu, if Elsa died in front of you, it could have greatly reduced the pressure on the front.
There has been no news from the Knights, will you feel resentful?"
Luo Mu shouted with a red face: "No... no way!"
"Of course you will. Not only will you be resentful, but it may even turn into resentment. Resentment of the Knights, resentment of Hei Fan, resentment of your height, resentment of many things. This is human nature." Yuying looked at him expressionlessly.
, said calmly: "And this kind of thing may happen to everyone, because you who have the courage to stand here are just heroes, not saints, so in order to ensure that the plan is foolproof, Hei Fan lied to everyone.
"
Raymond smiled weakly: "This lie may have saved my life. To be honest, if I really knew that there were reinforcements, even if I didn't feel as resentful as you said, it would be difficult for me to be so single.
I fought hard against those monsters, and if I hadn’t fought hard, I might have fallen by now.”
"No more meaningless nonsense."
Yu Ying waved her hand impatiently, turned to Luo Mu and said in a deep voice: "If your curiosity has been satisfied, then quickly let the two of them take you back to the station for treatment."
Then Luo Mu and the others were bombarded to the rear in a daze, feeling very happy in their hearts.
ten seconds later
Yuying looked around for a moment, then clenched her fists hard and cheered in a low voice: "Yeah! I'm so handsome!"
"Sir Yuying!"
A gloomy-looking middle-aged warlock in black robes shouted at her from a distance: "All members of the Knights have passed!"
The emotionless female assassin nodded slightly: "I understand, let everyone block the gap. No mutants are allowed to come in. Also, don't forget to leave enough space behind the formation."
"yes!"
...
at the same time
After the formation of the third enemy area, the temporary assembly area
"Mr. Gelbin."
Mo Tan gave a slight salute to the dwarf paladin who was riding a horse just up to his shoulders, and said with a tired smile: "Let's not talk about the routine for now. When can the knights start the second charge?"
The other party looked back at the more than 400 knights who had just completed the formation again, and said without thinking: "Immediately."
Mo Tan looked at him in surprise: "Immediately? But in terms of physical strength and injuries..."
"No problem, young commander."
Gelbin turned the horse's head and said without looking back: "Due to a certain secret method, we won't have much consumption in a short time, but we must seize the time, so if possible..."
"Can."
Hei Fan answered without hesitation: "The gap has been opened for you."
At the same time, a message with the content of 'Open the defense line within twenty seconds, clear the way, and execute immediately' has been simultaneously sent to Yuying, who had just finished arranging the frontline battle, causing the latter to have a feeling of [this
"Is this guy playing with me?" Of course, she still did it.
Therefore, together with the four high-level Paladins and the player 'Goshawk' who strongly requested to accompany the army, a total of 457 Paladins from the Combined Forces Paladins began to charge again, and a total of 457 Paladins were stopped in the third enemy area.
Less than two minutes.
At this point, the number of mutants on Hodir Pass has dropped below six thousand.
...
Game time am15:08
Mutants have completely occupied Kay's field of vision. These countless blasphemous creatures have no idea what fear is. Even if hundreds of their kind were lifted into the air with lances, decapitated by long swords, and beaten by iron hoofs in the previous second.
After being trampled into meat, a large number of mutants who have seized their position will continue to pour in the next second, launching a suicidal attack on the knights, trying to tear these creatures who still have warm blood into pieces!
It has to be said that by chance, these mutants who acted purely on instinct inadvertently used the most efficient tactic to deal with the knight group, which was to rely on their numerical advantage to block the charge with as many flesh and blood bodies as possible.
Along the way, he used a frightening amount of casualties to slow down the enemy's momentum and forcibly "brake" the rampaging beast.
This is a simple, clear, and easy-to-understand method that anyone with common sense can easily think of. However, not many people have been able to successfully implement this tactic throughout the ages, for no other reason than that the cost is too high.
To put it simply, I just can’t afford to die.
Even a heavily armed heavy infantry regiment would have to pay at least 50% or even 70% casualties under the full charge of a knightly regiment of the same level to completely contain the opponent. Yes, it is just containment, which means it is the same.
With one thousand people, if the two teams collide head-on, the heavy infantry regiment will probably have to die for five to seven hundred people before the knights can stop. Then it will become three to four hundred infantrymen facing a nearly complete, just
The thousand-man cavalry regiment stopped.
As we all know, when the death rate of a legion exceeds 50%, it can basically be equated with the word "rout".
However, the remaining five thousand mutants are not a legion. They are not united, uncooperative, brainless, tactical, unorganized, and undisciplined. They only rely on instinct to gather together. But
The mob under these conventional concepts is using the most efficient way to resist, wear down, and delay the impact of the Holy Knights at this moment--pile them with flesh and blood!
Two mutants were pierced by the spear, and then three mutants would rush out and send themselves to the head of the spear, and then turn into candied haws in a comical and ridiculous manner.
If a mutant is decapitated by a sword, more heads may appear in front of you half a second later.
Even if they are knocked to the ground and trampled in half by a war horse, as long as they have not completely lost the ability to move, they will try to grab a handful of the leg of the horse closest to them.
This is a form of fighting that cannot be replicated by any normal life.
So more and more mutants were skewered into candied haws, more and more heads rose into the sky, more and more claws twitched and scratched everywhere...
But the speed of the Knights did not decrease by half a point!
Under the premise that their original strength was only two steps lower, the mutants' fearless resistance was a joke in front of the Paladins who had activated [Joint Purification].
Apart from other things, the effect of increasing the damage caused to the [Evil] camp by 30% and the damage caused to the [Chaotic Evil] camp by an additional 20% is enough to allow these furious cans to be destroyed without any load.
Break down these bodies.
Obviously, these monsters who only think about killing creatures and have no idea can only be [chaotic evil].
Therefore, even if they unintentionally performed a wave of very targeted and wonderful operations, it would still have no effect in the face of the Holy Knights with characters like Gelbin Karnz Palladium at their command.
At least it won't have any effect during the effective time of [Joint Purification].
The dwarf paladin, who was not tall at all, rushed to the front of the team. The mini cross sword in his hand kept spewing out streaks of angry red light. Each streak would quietly dissipate after accurately cutting off a head, leaving no trace behind.
No one alive will waste a single bit of strength.
Although he is also a high-level paladin, Gelbin's slaughter far exceeds that of Snowmane, Torch and others. As the tip of the spear, although he is very easy to be ignored for some reasons, he can always guarantee a radius of three meters in front of him.
There are no semi-mobile mutants inside.
Perhaps in terms of hard strength, Gelbin is not as good as the previous one who shouted "Holy Light, those evils are worth fighting" in Pato City, and then directly killed hundreds of them with one [Dawn Judgment]
Compared with the cultist's Grand Knight of the Dawn, Glynn Tyree, he cannot be compared with those knight commanders whose strength is foul, but this ranks third among the high-level paladins of the Justice Sect, and is stationed in the City of Light all year round to provide support to his family's new recruits.
The middle-aged dwarf who serves as a knight's instructor is still very famous.
