In the western pine forest area, as the incendiary bombs and firebirds raged, the raging fire burned like a tsunami, and half of the sky in Delankfurt was lit up, a bright red!
As a postman, Downton has traveled to every corner of the West and is very familiar with the terrain and vegetation.
If you want to annihilate the enemy with a huge military disadvantage, conventional combat is not feasible, so you can only maximize the timing, location, and people.
When Downton's eyes wandered over the map of Dunkfurt, he saw this wooded area and thought of the townspeople of Pinewood Town who lived by making spices and lamp oil.
There is a huge wooden sign with the words "Beware of Fireworks" written in large characters.
Fire attack is a good choice, so after making the decision, we will formulate various tactics around it to ensure that a large number of enemy troops are burned to death in the forest as much as possible.
So far, the results appear to be good.
The casualties caused by fire attack tactics are not only burns, but even in areas where the fire has not spread, the thick smoke has been blown downwind by the evening breeze.
There were coughs everywhere, and people choked by smoke and dust burst into tears, unable to open their eyes at all. The hot air was sucked into the lungs, causing burning pain, as if the entire chest was on fire.
The soldiers in the southern border were like panicked and helpless beasts, running in the forest to avoid the flames, but there was no way out. When the fire became stronger, the billowing smoke obscured the vision, and when the visibility dropped to less than 10 meters,
, they could no longer see the way to survive and were destined to be burned to death in the forest.
"Master, it's time to withdraw!"
Abagong walked up to Downton and reminded him in a low voice.
Thick smoke has floated to an altitude of several thousand meters, beginning to submerge the Ancient Spear. Moreover, the lower part has been completely filled with a sea of fire and smoke, and nothing can be seen.
"Well, retreat!"
Downton originally planned to raid Kevin's headquarters, but the battlefield environment was so bad that it was obviously impossible to execute it.
The Dark Ranger Corps was almost chased by tongues of flames and ran out in disgrace, hundreds of meters away. They could still feel the heat of the flames. In addition to the crackling and explosive sounds in the forest, there were countless shrill sounds.
Scream.
The despair, helplessness, and panic before death are contained in the cry, like the sound of death that demands the soul. It hits everyone's ears and makes their hearts tremble.
The burnt smell began to dissipate. It was so heavy that even the choking smell of smoke could not cover it up.
"How many people were burned to death here?"
"Is it tens of thousands?"
"Those who were burned to death were all soldiers from the southern border. Why are you so soft-hearted? Who asked them to attack us?"
The soldiers murmured, not because they felt sorry for the enemies, but because they were frightened by this tragic situation. They would rather be hacked to death than burned alive in the fire.
"Why are you dazed? Quick, attack as a whole team to chase down the regiment behind!"
Batty was riding an iron-spine dragon on the road, urging the soldiers. Downton had just intercepted and killed the Southern Border Army. Some of the troops were retreating towards the rear and were not affected by the fire. He would then pursue Kevin's remnants. Then
You must annihilate them first, otherwise they will easily be intercepted from the front and back, forming a siege and killing trend.
"Quick! Quick!"
Thyssen urged the ogres to drag the catapult ahead.
Drizzt blew a whistle, and the dark rangers pulled their reins and turned to pounce on the enemy.
On the road in the forest, a leader of 10,000 people had just gathered his soldiers and was worried that he might be punished by military law if he failed to stop the enemy when he returned, when he saw an overwhelming sea of fire burning in front of him.
The screams were clearly audible.
"Sir, what should we do?"
Several thousand commanders stood beside the chief, their faces as pale as snow.
"Don't be nervous, everyone, it may not be our Southern Border Army who will be burned!"
A guy comforted me, but his tongue was trembling.
"Do you think that's possible?"
Ten thousand people sneered, even a mediocre person could guess what was going on. He just wanted the casualties to be smaller.
"The whole army is on alert and retreat to the small town behind!"
The commander gave the order.
Before the fire is extinguished, do we not have to think about joining the army and avoiding the sea of fire? Then we have to walk through the forest. Not to mention the difficulty of marching, it may take more than half a month, so we can only wait.
With nearly 20,000 troops gathered by the leader, he felt a little bit safer. However, he did not think about defeating Downton and making great achievements, so he prayed that the Western Army would come slowly so that he could rush to the town, build defenses, and support the army.
After a few days, but this time, he was not favored by the goddess of luck.
Still far away from the town, the soldiers discovered the figure of the Dark Ranger, and all the sentinels who were sent out were killed.
"Line up and prepare to fight!"
Generals at all levels were running around in a hurry, commanding their subordinates, and the atmosphere was tense. However, when they arranged their battle formations, the enemy still did not attack, and was just cruising hundreds of meters away.
"What to do? They must be waiting for reinforcements!"
The thousand captains were extremely depressed. They only had a few hundred cavalry left. Even if they were thrown out, it would be useless. If they ran away, they would be easily defeated by the cavalry.
"Rush forward and kill them before the reinforcements arrive to reduce the number of enemies!"
After one guy finished speaking, he immediately received a lot of eye rolls.
"Infantry chasing cavalry? Are you out of your mind?"
As soon as the Ten Thousand Leaders finished cursing, the rangers started to move, and they didn't get close, so they circled the battle formation and fired. Although they were blocked by shields, they heard the crisp beep, beep sound, and their legs were shaking with fear.
"The infantry is coming!"
Looking at the hilly natives who came into view, the soldiers looked nervous and instinctively wanted to squeeze together to find some sense of security.
The ogre built a catapult position, but before it was completed, Thyssen kicked several of them over.
"You're going to rush in and kill people, right? With so many enemies, is there any need to waste log bullets? There's also a catapult. Do you think this thing won't break and can be used indefinitely?"
Thiessen cursed and asked the natives to line up and prepare to charge.
"Let's do it!"
Arnold suggested. The barbarians are indeed elite. In a short time, they have already formed their formation.
"no!"
Thiessen simply refused. It was a joke. The ogres were just cannon fodder. Downton would not feel sorry for him no matter how many times he died, but the barbarians were different. They were direct descendants.
Arnold frowned and wanted to take advantage of the battle, but Barty next to him also advised him to calm down.
The ogres were whipped with whips and finally formed their formation. Then, under the leadership of Thiessen, they began to advance while shouting slogans.
The atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became solemn. Just when the two sides entered a hundred meters, a huge airship appeared in the sky. The soldiers in the southern border looked up subconsciously. Then they felt chills all over their bodies.
The battleship landed. Downton walked off, followed by Celes. Although he did not have the image of a commander shouting in front of him, the soldiers in the southern border could not control the shock and fear in their hearts.
It was him who just used a fire to burn down the tens of thousands of troops in the Southern Territory. That was the main force. After this battle, the strength of the Southern Territory was greatly damaged and life would definitely be difficult.
"Who gave the order to charge into battle?"
Downton glanced at the southern soldiers and then looked at the ogre.
"it's me!"
Thiessen stood up, stood at attention and saluted.
"Go and learn the military law of ten lashes!"
As soon as Downton finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamations. No one understood what the Krupp commander had done wrong.
"Why are you leaving the catapult unused?"
Seeing that Thiessen was not convinced, Downton asked.
"Because infantry can crush the opponent!"
Obviously, there are only five thousand natives in the hills, but after Thiessen said this, even the southern generals on the opposite side felt that they were right.
"Fart, even if it is crushed, can you guarantee that no one will die? My soldiers are more precious than anything else. If the catapult is broken and the log bombs are gone, they can be rebuilt, but if the soldiers are gone, a family will be destroyed.
, where will you rebuild it for me?”
Downton yelled.
When the hilly natives heard this, their eyes instantly lit up, and even the other soldiers showed expressions of surprise.
"knew!"
Thyssen was convinced.
"Who is the highest officer? Come out and speak!"
Downton just stood there, defenseless. Some archers asked the commander if there was a sneak attack, but he was glared at several times.
"You're so stupid. Don't you see that they want to win over us?"
At this point, the generals' thoughts have become very simple, that is, to survive. Of course, it would be better if they could keep their current positions.
"I am!"
Ten thousand people came out.
"Your 150,000-strong army has been defeated by me. Once the fire is extinguished, I will pursue Kevin's remnants and march to the main city in the south to take Duke Mike's head!"
Downton's words caused the soldiers in the southern border to exclaim in exclamation. In addition to the exaggerated victory, it was also because Duke Mac was an invincible existence in their minds. But this Downton actually killed whenever he asked. His tone
It's as easy as killing a chicken.
"I believe you all know that I have already launched an air raid on the main city in the north and killed Duke Busque. By the way, I am the second level of the Scepter!"
After Downton finished speaking, the elemental scepter condensed in front of him, emitting bright light.
"Scepter?"
"A scepter less than twenty years old?"
"My God, with this talent, he is definitely the number one in Delankfurt, right?"
The soldiers were completely stunned and had no choice. The weight of the scepter steps was too heavy in their hearts.
"I surrender!"
Wan Chang showed a wry smile and spoke knowingly.
"I am also from Delankfurt. I will not do anything to you. When I conquer the southern border, you can go home. Now, I can only wrong you a little."
These are all young adults. It would be a huge loss to kill them.
"Drop the weapon."
The commander gave the order, and after the soldiers looked at each other, none of them disobeyed. People under the eaves had to bow their heads.
"Would you like to be my soldier? You'll get a salary of thirty gold coins a month, plus bounties. You can keep 30% of what was seized during the war!"
Downton took out a bottle of wine, took a sip, and threw it to the leader, "Think about it?"
The soldiers screamed again, because this is definitely a high salary, and judging from Downton's attitude towards the ogres just now, he must be more friendly to human soldiers. (To be continued...)
