Outflanked and attacked by the rebels with superior strength, the light infantry on Beyelan's left wing screamed in panic, and retreated with the heavy infantry squadron that supported them. Countless rebel soldiers made bursts of earth-shattering shouts,
Closely pursue the defeated enemy.
They crossed the hills and ravines, and were about to rush into the enemy's core. Suddenly, the battlefield was filled with sand and dust. Along with the rumble and roar, the earth trembled, as if a huge monster was about to emerge from it.
The rebel soldiers stopped in surprise. The roaring sound was like the hooves of a war horse, or like a giant beast from the ancient times beating a human skin drum with its bones, slowly coming with the ferocity and cruelty of a superior.
Nona emerged from the smoke in costume of a man and a horse.
She was riding a horse, brandishing a shining silver cross sword. 16 extraordinary knights and spellbreakers of sequence 8 or above followed closely behind, blocking the rebels' advance route.
This team of cavalry is not many in number, but the men and their mounts are all equipped with heavy armor. The armor is decorated with bright red, bright yellow and blue coats of arms, and is blessed with a crystal and shining shield. There are even some wearing pure white robes.
, joined by clerics wielding maces and great shields.
They marched retrograde among the retreating soldiers, not looking at the frightened friendly troops, nor paying attention to the enemies in front of them. As soon as they arrived on the battlefield, they blocked the rebels' heavy phalanx, facing thousands of enemy troops with only 17 cavalry.
But it seems like they are the side with the upper hand.
The leader, Nona, kissed her sword lightly and prayed in a low voice, and a ray of light was cast in the sky. The soldiers who had gathered around her and were already fleeing suddenly heard the lofty and clear call. They all stopped and cheered up.
Inexplicably, I felt that my steps were light and my limbs were full of strength again.
She waved her sword and pressed down, and the scattered infantrymen subconsciously gathered together.
Following Nona was Kurala. She was wearing exquisite silver armor and appeared on the right side of the team holding a bow and arrow. The two armies on the battlefield seemed to be half stunned, watching her pick up the long bow.
The air was filled with a trembling icy breath for a while.
The first ice arrow whizzed out, shattering into three sharp pieces of ice during its flight, and shot towards the rebels in front of the flight path.
The first arrow has not yet hit, but the second and third arrows have already left the string.
Kulala's shooting speed was dazzling, and she fired nine rounds of arrows in the blink of an eye. She moved while shooting, shooting out the dense ice arrows like a shower. The rebels who were attacking seemed to have hit an invisible wall.
, a large piece was collapsed on the spot.
After being ambushed by these two extraordinary men, the rebel frontline immediately wavered. Their officer rode on his horse and shouted, ordering the soldiers to attack. At this moment, an illusory shadow like black mist appeared behind him.
.A sickle emerged from the black mist and passed by the officer's neck.
The rebels gathered nearby screamed. Many saw the commander's head suddenly flying into the sky, with blood raining down along the way. The Beyelan assassin who succeeded in the attack spun around and immediately disappeared from the place.
not see.
"Extraordinary," Nona pressed the long sword in her hand and "attacked."
Following her order, Beyelan's Beyonders attacked together. They did not form a tight wall, but rushed into the ranks of the rebels like a dozen torrents, causing a bloody storm.
Many rebels hurriedly stabbed with spears and fired with muskets, but in the chaos they could not hit these knights who were coming and going like the wind, and their spears smashed into shields and heavy armor. Later, Beyelan's heavy cavalry could not even hit them.
To wield his saber, he just rode his horse and trampled through the crowd.
Ophelia gathered her own Beyonders and used them. As soon as they entered the battle, they immediately stabilized the front that was about to collapse, and even broke through the rebel formation.
The physical strength and energy of a single Extraordinary are limited. But as long as they are invested in the right time, the right place, and the right way, it is indeed possible to reverse the situation of the war. What's more, what they are targeting is precisely the lack of middle- and high-level talents in the rebels.
The weak spot in combat power appears like a rock across the battlefield, causing waves of rebels to splash in all directions.
Under the cover of the knights, the wizards in the team continued to attack the dense queue of rebels with fireballs. In view of the situation where spell casting and chanting were easily disturbed on the battlefield, the wizards used a large number of magic items made from dust crystals with different properties to pre-make spells. The chanting was affected by
The interference essentially interrupts the spiritual energy gathering and combination process that triggers the spellcasting effect, so as long as the configuration process is imprinted on a specific carrier in advance, chanting can be skipped.
This is also the research result of Professor Lafayette of Medini College. High-speed chanting and power words, which were originally only mastered by a few extraordinary people, have been popularized through specially-made magic items. In this way, when the caster goes to the battlefield, he only needs to
You only need to charge the talismans and scrolls that have been prepared to activate the spell, which greatly enhances the wizard's combat effectiveness on the battlefield where blood is surging.
With the support of spellcasters, armies can even have firepower and mobility beyond that of artillery.
After the Extraordinaries led by Nona entered the battle, the most violent areas where the rebels attacked were immediately met with fierce counterattacks, and they had to retreat leaving behind a large number of casualties.
Beyelan's Beyonders did not go deep, and after expelling the rebels, they retracted their formation.
"Fortunately," Kulala breathed a sigh of relief and said to the people around him, "It seems that we can hold on until sunset without the appearance of our extraordinary beings. Once the rebels retreat, we will build a camp on a nearby hillside.
We can definitely hold on until the main force arrives."
Although the battle situation is developing in an optimistic direction, Ophelia's bright eyes watching the battle have become more vigilant:
"The rebels lack high-end combat capabilities and have been avoiding direct confrontation with us in the past.
"Why did they gather their main force to attack us this time? And they also carried out long-distance detours with forced marches. Today's battle is at a stalemate. When our reinforcements arrive, will the rebels who have been traveling long distances safely withdraw from the battlefield?"
She bit her lip and tapped her forehead with her fingers:
"If I were the coach of the rebels, I would definitely consider the difficulties caused by the lack of high-end combat power before taking such an adventure.
"So, where can we get reinforcement?"
Before he finished speaking, an earth-shaking roar came from the battlefield where the two sides had just fought. The grass soaked in blood began to squirm like waves.
The ground rippled violently like melted butter, and then a large amount of soil rolled up like waves, forming waves of soil more than half a meter high and pushing toward the vicinity.
Such an astonishing anomaly reminded all the Extraordinaries at the scene of the earth-boring demonic insect in the book. Only a monster that lurked more than ten meters underground and used supernatural powers to dig forward could have such a momentum. Once it breaks out of the ground, it will collapse.
The soil will eat up everything on the ground very easily.
"Run away!"
The nearby Sergeants Beyeland all shouted. Even if they had never seen the Earth-Drilling Demon Bug, they had heard of this monster in the absurd horror stories spread in taverns and military camps. The unknown fear immediately gripped them, and they almost
The soldiers who were fighting bravely just minutes ago dropped their weapons and fled from their own battle lines. Even Nona, who had a powerful shield, had to take shelter temporarily.
Amidst the panic shouting, many people seemed to hear an ethereal and illusory "ding dong" echo. This psychic phantom sound appeared so out of place on the messy battlefield.
Nona, who was leading the team, was a little panicked at first, but after hearing this "ding dong", her nervous mind relaxed. Because she knew that this was a sign of the action of her own powerful transcendent. This echo was from Ao Fei.
The psychic ripples produced when Leah's evil eye is directed at a target.
The fluctuations in the layers became more and more violent, and the huge monster below was about to stretch out its hideous and ugly body. Suddenly, the vibrations weakened for no reason, and a shrill wail came from the rumbling roar.
.
This terrifying strange sound cannot be described in words. It is a strange scream that everyone here has never heard in their nightmares. The violent earthquake is actually weakening amidst this strange scream.
"What happened!~" the soldiers exclaimed. The monster that was about to burst out of the ground seemed to be curling up in pain. Finally, the howling subsided, and the muddy and soft ground became dry and cracked.
It grew bigger and bigger, and even tore apart on both sides like a cliff.
"hiss!"
The last scream came from the deep cracks in the ground, causing all the listeners to feel the desperate and unwilling pain resonating in the chest, almost giving them a splitting headache. People who were close to the place glanced in horror, and saw a huge
An indescribable black shadow is curling underneath. Only a corner of its body is exposed. It looks like a huge mouthpart with open petals spitting out globs of foul-smelling juice. It can already be imagined as a complete horror image.
Ophelia's magic eyes stared at the cracks in the earth, seeming to penetrate the layers of soil to see the monsters below. Only those senior extraordinary people noticed that in the shocking earthquake and howling just now, her magic eyes
The eyes have torn the monster's spirit apart, twisting its brain into pieces inside its thick limbs.
"As expected of you!" Kulala praised loudly in the echo crystal, "Earth-boring insects, as long as they don't let them come out, it's okay. Can your mind whip actually kill mythical creatures!"
Hearing the compliments from her companions, Ophelia's face turned pale, and her usual vigorous temperament became weak.
She had just activated her magic eyes, locked onto the monster underground, and then used the powerful supernatural ability "Psychic Whip" to attack its brain. However, the result was beyond her expectation.
Strange, when did my ability become so strong? The previous effects were at best dizziness, fear and trauma. Why can I still kill a mythical creature like the earth-burrowing insect with one hit? What is the reason for weakening it?
