Just as the coalition forces were moving unimpeded on the wild highlands, a piece of news caused Erathia's large army to immediately turn around and quickly rush back in the direction of the kingdom. Because Taitalia, located in Erathia, was in the middle of nowhere.
Months ago, they took advantage of the coalition forces' attack and launched a sudden and large-scale attack.
In fact, the coalition forces were mentally prepared to fight against the people of Taitalia this time. Although the process of changing the throne of Taitalia was secret from the outside world, some rumors still leaked out. Anyone can think of Ou from this.
Considering Fu's intentions, it's not surprising that Taitalia would take part in this war.
But everyone thought that the battle with the barbarians took place in the wild highlands, and they appeared as an insignificant reinforcement of Eufor. But now they actually forced Erathia's 40,000-strong army to retreat in one fell swoop.
Taitalia is actually vast and similar to Erathia, but most of it is uninhabited swamps and mountains, and the wealth and prosperity are naturally thousands of miles away. Therefore, the barbarians have been at a disadvantage in the battles with Erathia for many years. Five years ago
A great battle caused great damage to it. If it were not for the large swamps as a natural barrier, Erathia had little interest in the barren land in the north, and perhaps Taitalia would have ceased to exist. Over the years, Taitalia has been
Apart from some harassment and friction, there was not much action. Although there was news that Ofu finally helped the new king of Taitalia ascend to the throne, and the two countries finally formed an alliance, but the overwhelming advantage over Taitalia has been lost.
Erathia's military disagrees with this. In terms of equipment and tactics, knights and soldiers who are being trained are indeed far more effective on the battlefield than barbarians who are always howling and swarming, not to mention the number of barbarians.
It's not much. Even if they spend all their money, it's just more than the orcs in Orfu. The troops on the northern border who stay in the country can definitely withstand their surprise attack.
But this absolute is only what Erasi thinks is absolute. The fighting power displayed by Taitalia was completely beyond Erasi's expectations. Not only did almost all the people come out in full force, but their equipment was actually
It has become so good that it can compete with the regular swordsmen of Erathia. The stainless steel battle ax and war hammer can easily smash the shields and armors of the swordsmen, and they actually already have weapons on their bodies that can resist arrows.
The vine armor and leather armor. These equipments cannot be made by barbarians themselves. And the origin is naturally self-explanatory.
In addition to the near miss, dragonflies and lizards also joined the battlefield driven by the tamers, completely making up for the shortcomings of the barbarians' lack of numbers and single tactics. These swamp animals had also appeared in Taitalia's troops before.
The number of hundreds of them only played a supporting role in the battle, but the dragon flies that appeared on the battlefield now can be described as overwhelming, and those swamp lizards that were as big as the largest crocodiles also began to tame them in hundreds.
Driven by the beast master, they attacked the enemy.
The most important thing is that there is news that even Taize, the king of Taitalia, has personally visited the front line. This king who has only been in power for a short time has not only made the morale of the barbarians higher, but also used very efficient command and control.
Their wild morale only works where it counts. The way the barbarians fight is no longer howling like mad cows and charging forward, they have become more disciplined and tactical.
With such unexpected fighting power, the barbarians achieved astonishing results. After the absolute main force was sent to the wild highlands, Erathia's originally thought to be impregnable defensive line was easily broken through. These barbarians seized the great opportunity.
This was the first time they had advanced so deeply into the fertile plains of Erathia. Naturally, they would not waste this opportunity. They plundered everything they went and aimed directly at the royal city of Erathia.
The timing of this attack was perfect. It was just when Erathia's army entered the hinterland of the highlands. In fact, they were closer to the eastern border of Taitalia at this time. But they had to return to defense. No one had the courage to do so.
Take risks and use tactics that will surely save you if you attack them. In other words, barbarians are truly sure of saving them if you attack them. The barbarians may be able to abandon their simple lairs, but the knights will never abandon the palace of Erathia and her Majesty the Queen.
Although among the cavalry guarding the grain road were more than 10,000 Erathia light cavalry troops, they retreated as soon as possible. But according to the combat effectiveness shown by the barbarians, these 10,000 cavalry were not enough to turn the tide. At most
It was just to delay the situation and buy time for the army on the high ground to retreat.
As the absolute main force in the coalition, once Erasi's 40,000 troops withdraw, the strength of the coalition will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. But this will not be a reason for them to hesitate. Their morale is still high. The leading troops of the coalition left Orfor City
It's less than a hundred miles away, and the frontal battle is about to begin.
The 10,000-strong army of the Principality of Jude was the leading force in the coalition. They marched directly towards Ouf at a much faster speed than other coalition forces. This was the first frontal attack on Ouf, and the orcs had no choice but to avoid it.
.
From a certain point of view, this is actually a test. The coalition forces also want to know Oufu's frontal combat effectiveness and fighting methods. Most of the cavalry were transferred to the rear to protect the food roads, and the four thousand heavily armored knights of the Judah army were
It has become the absolute vanguard of the coalition forces. In fact, the tactic of using heavy cavalry to charge the orcs head-on has also proven to be very effective in the previous battles to eliminate the orcs. Whether it is a werewolf or an ogre, even the horse is fully covered.
The heavily armored knights were all invincible when they charged in formation.
So far, except for the use of bipedal flying dragons and ballistas to occupy a slight advantage in the air, Oufu is still dominated by the coalition forces in other places. Indeed, as the Javi warriors said before, the coalition generals are not fools. It can even be said that they are all
He is the most outstanding military commander in the mainland. Especially after being attacked from behind and having to dispatch 30,000 cavalry to guard the grain road, the generals realized that Ofu was not that easy to deal with. The characteristics of the orcs were matched
With appropriate tactics, it can exert quite astonishing power, and any general with a little imagination can sense this.
Before the temple knight withdrew, he also told the generals about the sneak attack tactics Ouf might adopt. After that, although the generals were not as meticulous and careful as the temple knights, they basically did everything. It was not just the griffons.
If we attack without permission, the defense at night will be strengthened a lot. Each army must have several high-level magicians on standby at any time.
This defensive strategy indeed had a very good effect. A sneak attacker who attempted to spread necromancy magic in the air appeared above the coalition forces once, but was shot down by the over-distance lightning sent by these mages together. If he hadn't used teleportation in the air
Even if the scroll was not electrocuted to death by a few magicians in mid-air, it would be a dead end if it fell into the army. And Ou Fu has not made any moves in the half month since this sneak attack. Maybe Ou Fu has also
I realized that the chance of a sneak attack was so small that it was not worth the risk. After all, attacking hundreds of miles away from the stronghold was not an easy thing to do.
In contrast, the coalition forces have never learned about Ofu's fighting methods and combat effectiveness. Although commanders can imagine and guess, no matter how precise they are, they cannot be used as a basis for setting a combat plan, so this
Only then did Juda's heavy knights attack first to test.
The Judas Heavy Knights are actually the strongest unit in the coalition. Both in terms of maneuverability and combat effectiveness, they are comparable to the orcs. Let such a force that should be the main force be tested, this is what the coalition forces think of Europe.
Fu paid full attention to it. This way, even if they were at a disadvantage in the battle with the orcs, they would have enough time to retreat temporarily and wait for the arrival of the army.
But at least in the hearts of the Judah Heavy Knights, there is absolutely no concept of retreat. They have such confidence and the capital to be so confident. The Principality of Judah also borders Negan like Erathia, but its land area is the same as that of Negan.
The level of wealth is far from that of Erathia. But although the national power is not as good as Erathia, Judas has never been at a disadvantage in the strategy of Negan's underground city. Even those minotaurs that are taller and stronger than ogres,
They were unable to withstand the charge of Judah's heavy cavalry.
Finally, dozens of miles away from Oufu, the vanguard of the coalition forces saw Oufu's troops. They were no longer the figures that only wandered around the edge of their sight every day. They were real ground troops. Scouts responsible for watching.
After adding the advanced eagle eye technique, you can clearly see the werewolves and ogres forming a formation.
The knight leaders of Juda did not feel surprised. Now that they were less than a hundred miles away from Eufor, any harassment and tactics were of no use. The orcs were forced to fight head-on anyway.
"The entire army is in line, ready to charge." The leaders of the knights gathered their troops to shape their formation. The heavy cavalry was most suitable for heavy cavalry when the distance between the two armies was already two or three miles visible, and the flat wasteland was
Charge.
But the scout responsible for watching and conducting reconnaissance shouted at this time: "Ou Fu started to charge first... No. Just one..."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. All the knights could see a small white light spot breaking away from the orcs' formation and approaching quickly.
The speed of this white light spot was very fast. The knights in the queue could soon see that it was actually a person, a figure whose whole body was wrapped in bright white light. It carried the momentum of thousands of troops with the speed of an arrow.
Come charging.
The so-called charge, generally speaking, the difference in strength between the two sides is not too big. At least, they must have the advantage of the troops before they take the initiative to attack the opponent. If only one person is charging thousands of heavy cavalry, this kind of behavior is really unacceptable.
It's better to describe it as charging, but it would be better to say death or going crazy.
But all the cavalrymen who could see this man did have the word "charge" pop up in their minds at the same time. This is a charge. Even if it is just one person, even if he is facing thousands of the continent's most elite heavy cavalry, then
It is still the most powerful, exemplary and charge-like charge.
This person is not huge, and his weight is not high, but everyone feels that the ground is moving, and they are unable to tell whether this is an illusion caused by being distracted by the aura and aura brought by this person.
, or the earth is really trembling under this man's footsteps. It's as if he himself is thousands of heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, and he is facing a deserted enemy army, and he is about to be hit by him.
Scattered. Trampled to pieces. Crushed.
"Crossbow, shoot." A leader of the knights said a few words in a deep voice. He looked at the white figure approaching quickly with fire burning in his eyes, but his voice and expression were as calm as ice and as heavy as ice.
iron.
Needless to say, almost all the knights had already taken out their military heavy crossbows and held them in their hands. The Judas knights were all elites who had experienced life and death on the battlefield. Although their minds were shaken because of this man, the soldier steel
His general will did not waver at all. With a command, countless bows and arrows shot towards the oncoming figure. The heavy military crossbow was enough to penetrate armor within a hundred steps, and the specialized archers in the team
The arrows fired could even pierce through even a small shield. These thousands of arrows shot from different directions were like a death storm made of metal.
But no matter how strong the storm is, it is impossible to blow the majestic mountains. The rain of arrows is so dense that it can almost block the sight of the person. It seems like just a piece of confetti being thrown away in front of the light emanating from the person. Even the person's body is...
Without being able to reach it, it was blown away by the ray of white light and momentum around him. It was broken, shattered, scattered and bounced away crookedly.
Slightly slower than arrows is magic. The magicians responsible for supporting the troops behind are also experienced. Fireballs, fire walls, ice arrows, lightning, and dozens of magics are all shot at this man. But these could have shattered the soldiers to pieces.
The earth magic now seemed to have all turned into fireworks, only flickering in front of them. Many of them were smashed into pieces by the white light before they had time to burst out the magic power.
No one can clearly see the footsteps of the rushing man. But no one can't feel that every step of his indistinguishable footsteps is stepping on the center of the earth's crust and at the same time stepping on his own heart, making him feel uncomfortable every time.
Every nerve and every chill is trembling with the earth.
The ground is shaking, the heart is moving, and the soul is shaking because he is charging.
"Draw out the gun and hold the shield." When the order was given, the three captains had already gathered together. They all stared at the man who was getting closer and closer. Everyone held their own weapons and the muscles in their hands.
He Mai's veins have been stretched to the limit, and the light of fighting spirit on his body is revealed.
Following the order, the spears of all the heavily armored knights in the front row were all erected, and it was completely a forest of spears.
But this man still didn't stop, and didn't slow down at all. Facing the forest of steel guns and the fortress built by the steel knights behind him, he rushed faster and harder. There was a loud noise, like a meteorite impacting from the sky.
On the ground, this man actually used his own flesh and blood to crash into the queue of four thousand heavily armored knights...
The spear broke and flew, the knight and the mount were shattered and flew, the shield and armor shattered, mixed with limbs and corpses and flew into the air. The steel knights who could have been invincible on the battlefield were shattered like this, like a violent impact
Like the sand and gravel being stirred up, it splashed away from where the man rushed into the queue.
The queue of knights was originally an unbreakable fortress, a powerful weapon that could defeat tens of thousands of infantry in a charge, but the figure surrounded by white light seemed to be drawn into a black lake when it struck, causing countless splashes of water.
Continuing to advance like breaking bamboos and splitting waves.
Although the bodies and weapons of their companions were scattered like rain, all the heavily armored knights did not panic. The knights on both wings continued to surround the center. The formation of the knights was also constantly changing, like a huge monster.
Changing his body shape, he tried his best to surround the foreign object that broke into his body. As more and more knights were knocked away and crushed, the man's speed also began to slow down.
There was a muffled sound, like hitting a stone in the middle of the lake, and the man's figure finally stopped. The road behind him that had just been knocked out by him was instantly filled by the knights around him. He was already here
In the center surrounded by thousands of knights.
"General Gru, I have long admired you." A dull voice came out from under the mask. The three captains of the Knights of Juda stood side by side, and the spears in their hands fell on this man's hand, or in other words, the three
The group leader's combined attack finally stopped this man.
"The legendary God of War who commanded Eufor's orc troops is indeed well-deserved. I am afraid that even the Holy Knight Lancelot would not be able to break into our camp like this. Your all-out attack actually defeated hundreds of us in one go.
The elite knights."
"But we really didn't expect you to adopt such stupid and arrogant tactics. Do you think you can penetrate our ranks and severely damage the morale of our army by yourself? You underestimate us too much. Now you are so powerful
It has been exhausted, and there is no fighting spirit left, and it is impossible to rush out from our hands."
"As warriors, of course I want to compete with a top master like you. But this is a battlefield. As soldiers, we are outnumbered here. It's a pity." The voice of the leader of the knights came from under the mask.
Although it has a cold and hard smell of metal, the excitement of being able to kill the opponent but the tone of extreme regret is still clearly revealed.
"It's a pity. This is actually what I want to say to you." Gru's eyes swept over the faces of the three regiment leaders, and his voice was colder than theirs. "You are right, this is a battlefield."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gru squatted slightly, and the fighting spirit light suddenly brightened again. He had risen from the ground, and his whole body was like a crossbow arrow shot by a powerful crossbow. He actually jumped hundreds of meters straight on the spot.
the height of.
The three leaders of Judah were all stunned. They all looked up at Gru in mid-air. Facing the countless enemies below, they jumped high on the spot. This was almost to let others gather their strength and prepare to kill him when he fell.
The blue teleportation light appeared on Gru, and he unfolded the teleportation scroll as he jumped up. The three captains were slightly startled, and then they shouted and fired arrows, but the arrows only hit what was left after the blue light disappeared.
Just a little trace.
"What is he doing? He wants to use a teleportation scroll to exchange the lives of a hundred of our knights? There will never be a next time for him." A regiment leader shouted angrily: "Everyone lined up and prepared to charge. Defeat the orcs in front.
.”
But the other leader stared into the air, frowned and said, "Wait, what is that?"
Several small objects fell from high in the sky and landed just where Gru was standing. The most eye-catching one was a seemingly gray jade plaque, which was strung into a necklace by a very thin chain. But if you look closely,
You can see below that there is actually no gray on this jade plaque. The gray color is an illusion created by the interweaving of countless small and even black lines and white lines. However, there seem to be two lines on this extremely delicate jade plaque that destroy this
Strange aesthetic cracks.
The other small items are broken magic crystals. From the broken shape, it can be seen that these magic crystals seemed to have been a small container before, a crystal container that could just hold the jade tablet.
"No." "Oops." The three captains shouted almost at the same time. They did not recognize what this jade plaque was, but they could see a strange gray streak coming from this gray piece.
Spread out from the small things, and you can feel the terrifying magic power contained in the gray color.
This gray just appeared, instantly turning everything around it gray, as if the whole space was covered in this lifeless color.
"All troops retreat." The faces of the three regiment leaders turned gray, their skin turned gray, their armor and fighting spirit turned gray, and even their roaring voices seemed gray too.
However, they did not retreat despite the order to retreat. Instead, they simultaneously thrust their spears at the small piece of ashes on the ground. The tips of the three spears did not hit the jade plaque, but instead
They pointed at it from three different angles across an inch of space. All the vindictiveness of the three captains was concentrated on the tip of the spear, forming a barrier of vindictiveness in an effort to suppress the spread of gray.
It's a pity that they were all a little slower. If they could have done it a second or two earlier, this would indeed have had the effect they expected. The gray aura did become a little slower under the barrier of fighting spirit, but only a little.
Since the complex and difficult-to-understand magical power contained in it has already started to act, it cannot be stopped and interrupted.
The surrounding heavily armored knights were retreating quickly, but a gray ocean with a diameter of several miles had surrounded them all. It was neither mist nor anything tangible, it was just a color, a dead gray color.
