In the War of the Gods, most of the many armies participating in the war have made great achievements. Especially in the middle and late stages, some armies even have records of killing gods. In this case, the more distinctive the army, the more hope it can
Reflecting its own completely different style. Therefore, military flags, military songs, military uniforms, etc. have undergone great changes.
As a result, the formations at the brigade level and even smaller squadrons and thousand-man squadrons began to show their own completely different military flags.
Among these many military flags, there are two military flags, except for the different background colors, the others are almost identical - the skull and crossbones flag.
Of these two skull and crossbones flags, one has a solid black background; the other has a black border and a blue background.
These two skull flags symbolize the two ultimate powers in the war between the gods.

Chapter 116 Speed of Life and Death
In mid-January of the summer of the 6th year of the Magic Calendar, a majestic life-and-death speed race was staged on the northeasternmost side of the Flower Language Plain.
Chi Aotian's expeditionary army roared past at the front. Most of the knights rode one person and two people. When one horse got tired, he immediately changed to another horse and continued running wildly. After the 20,000-strong army passed by, a 200-meter-wide road appeared on the green prairie.
The red road of 100,000 meters - the iron hooves of war horses numbering in the hundreds of thousands crushed all the miserable grass along the way.
Norton's Corps followed closely behind. At the beginning, all the soldiers of the Third Corps could keep up. By the afternoon, stragglers began to appear in the three Bear Man Corps, and General Norton simply turned a blind eye. By 7 p.m.
, except for a few Ursine warriors, the three Thousand-man Ursine teams all fell behind. The Orc troops also began to form a long front. If they continue at this rate, it won't be midnight before the Orc troops will be left.
The second half is considered good.
The remaining seven thousand commanders are wondering to death, what is Commander Norton doing? Aren't they afraid that the enemy will suddenly turn around and set up an ambush to eat them? Unfortunately, they can't speak now, so how can they ask questions?
At this moment, there was a faint rumbling sound between the sky and the earth... Ah? The expressions of the thousands of leaders suddenly changed!
After a long battle, any thousand-man leader can hear the sound of horse hooves from a large-scale joint charge of human knights!
"Enemy...enemy...attack..." the thousand-man leader holding the battle force shouted, while the human infantrymen around him turned pale with fear.
"Nonsense!" Norton didn't know when he appeared in front of the thousand-man leader of the human race: "A late-night sneak attack, don't the enemies even wrap up their horseshoes? Is it still a sneak attack? This is a knight of the Sweat Blood Mercenary Group. See you next time
You should be careful when you call the police without thinking!" The usually gentle and gentle regiment commander actually said such words, which shows how urgent the situation is.
Sure enough, not long after, more than 4,000 sweat-blooded cavalry troops chased up from behind. In order to prepare for this battle, the Grand Duke of Iron Hand Banjiang also spent a lot of money. The 4,000 knight troops were equipped with 2,000 more war horses. After receiving the information,
He didn't even eat a bite of food along the way and rushed forward.
Han Han drove the dragon and finally saw the smoke rising from Commander Mengton's camp when the night fell. The dragon knight did not have time to take into account the army's ban and directly commanded the dragon to fall in the middle of the camp. Mengton and other top commanders
I thought I was being attacked by an enemy late at night, but when I got out of the tent, I discovered it was a fire dragon knight.
When Han Han relayed Norton's judgment, everyone including Menton showed expressions of disbelief, especially the generals from the Holy See. How could this be possible? They were too familiar with the Sicilian River.
One summer and one month later, the Sicilian River becomes a nightmare for the Holy See. Which year doesn't swallow up hundreds or even thousands of lives? This is a normal year without floods, but when there is a flood, tens of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of animals die.
It is the most common thing. Anyone standing in front of the Sicilian River will lament the insignificance of human power. Turning the Sicilian River into ice? This is a big joke. No matter how cold the winter is, the Sicilian River has never frozen.
Ice. How could humans...
Menton thought for less than a minute amidst the murmured rebuttals of many officers, and resolutely gave the order: Except for the five Bearmen and Thousand Troops who came later, all the other troops only brought weapons and three days of dry food to pursue them all night long!
Those who fall behind should catch up on their own. The last thousand-man team to reach the destination and the thousand-man team whose lag ratio exceeds 30% will have their designations revoked, and all officers below the thousand-man leader will be dismissed from their posts on the spot.
After the battle with the Northern Federal Army, especially when he saw Norton's Army arriving from the northwest for reinforcements in just 35 days, Monton had already vaguely felt the gap between the Eastern Army and the Western Army. Previously, the reason why the Eastern Army had achieved brilliant results was
, the fundamental reason is that the combat power of the mercenary empire cannot be compared with the Amy Empire. Chi Aotian led a partial division of the Black Dragon Knights and defeated the entire eastern joint theater to the point where they could not even find the north. The western theater was directly competing.
The combat power of the four ace knights of the empire and the small mercenary group. When placed in front of opponents of the same level, the superiority between the two is immediately obvious.
In this case, Monton must trust this unfamiliar but well-known colleague.
Moreover, if Chi Aotian's army of 60,000 soldiers on the Huayu Plain with an unobstructed view, and the vast majority of the coalition army composed of peasant troops escaped smoothly, then it is estimated that he, the newly promoted commander, will be immediately beaten back to his original form.
Right. Menton will never allow such a thing to happen.
To take a step back, even if Chi Aotian had the intention to eat himself one bite at a time while moving at high speed, there was Norton in front of him, a force directly under the Duke of Iron Hands to Block Jiang. Does Chi Aotian really have such an iron mouth and steel teeth? As long as the two troops in front
If any one of them can hold out for a day, the remaining 50,000 troops will outflank them. If 50,000 fights 20,000, there is no reason why they cannot win.
Early the next morning, Mengton's army had already seen the magnificent red dirt road on the prairie!
On one side of the Red Earth Avenue, there were more than 20 warriors. Behind the warriors, dozens of horses fell to the ground vomiting blood. They saw the large army and ran over quickly.
They are the mercenaries of the Sweat-blooded Iron Cavalry. They were borrowed by Norton in the middle of the night yesterday and asked them to return the way they came to urge the commander-in-chief's troops to speed up their actions. According to the joint judgment of the one-armed general and the iron-handed Grand Duke, if nothing happens, Chi Ao will
It is possible that Tianji will rush to the small town of Tuiyao. Moreover, hundreds of enemy horses have died from exhaustion. It can be judged that the enemy will be exhausted.
Twisted? Mengton was a little confused.
A general from the Holy See immediately added: Twisted waist is also called beef waist, which is the name of a small town. The name comes from the fact that the mighty Sicilian River is less than 20 miles long here but suddenly turns three times in a row.
It is a curve, just like an old lady spraining her waist while performing the Yangko dance, and it is a bit like the waist of a cow holding urine, so the indigenous residents gave this place such a name. Although the river is wide here,
A little, but the water suddenly slowed down, and there were many crossings. If Captain Norton really judged to cast forbidden ice magic, the slow water here would really be the best choice.
Oh, having said that, Mengton is really impressed. By the way, there is indeed such a place on the military map. However, on the Fanos map, it seems to be a transliteration of "NEWYORK", which is translated into Fanos characters.
It seems like "New York", right? Menton cursed in a low voice: "This name is really as unpleasant as his grandma's. Who has such a tasteless name? Trash, after this battle, I burned this place down.
"
According to the prediction of the Grand Duke of Iron Hands, Chi Aotian's army will arrive at Niu Yao early tomorrow morning or noon. Once he and Norton arrive at Niu Yao, they will attack frantically at all costs to delay Chi Aotian's crossing of the river as much as possible.
, if... Chi Aotian has already crossed the river before they arrive, then... he will send his subordinates to inform Commander Mengton... to stop advancing.
Yes, if Chi Aotian crossed the river, the situation would be completely reversed. Chi Aotian would never be as benevolent and righteous as Song Xianggong. He would definitely seize every opportunity and use the opportunity of the coalition forces to cross the river to eat them all in one bite.
If that happens, the demise of the Holy See will be just around the corner.
"Pass my order!" Mengton's face at this time was no better than that of a desperate gambler: "Chase! Chase! Chase! Everyone, except weapons, give up all useless defensive equipment! No
Regardless of race or unit, everyone should chase down this red road. The first 300 warriors of each race to catch up with the enemy, regardless of their origins or military exploits, will all be promoted to one level on the spot and receive 30 bonus coins.
From all races, the last 300 cowards who arrive on the battlefield, regardless of rank or merit, will be dismissed from their posts on the spot. Chase! Chase!"
A heavy reward must be rewarded by brave men. As soon as this order was issued, the entire Fanos coalition seemed to have been injected with stimulants and ran wildly across the Huayu Plain like crazy.
At noon on January 15th, the sixth year of the magic calendar, Menton, the Flower of Fanos, once again received a flight report from Air General Norton: "Chi Aotian's army has approached the Sicily River and is flying along the river bank. During this period,
In order to stop the pursuers, Chi Aotian led the Vulture Knights to attack the coalition forces twice in a row. Thanks to the extraordinary fighting power of Iron Hands and Hanhan, and the sweat-blooded Iron Cavalry mercenary group, there were quite a few fantasy beast knights.
We were not at a disadvantage in the air battle. I once again ask General Monton to advance as quickly as possible no matter what."
In the afternoon of the same day, Monton sent a centurion to pick up the stragglers of Norton's army along the way.
At 19:30 in the evening of the same day, the Menton Army had its first meal and repair in 24 hours. Half an hour later, some soldiers who were unconscious due to exhaustion were left behind, and the rest set off across the line. At this time, there were only 40,000 men left in the Menton Army.
arrive.
At 11 a.m. on January 16, the sixth year of the magical calendar, the latest battle report was sent to Monton - great news! The Norton Legion and the Sweat Blood Mercenary Regiment, totaling 11,000 troops, finally caught up at four o'clock in the morning today.
Chi Aotian's army was engaged in a bloody battle in the middle of the night! Nearly 4,000 coalition soldiers died in the battle, which severely damaged Chi Aotian's expeditionary force. The executioner army had to hide in a dense forest on the south bank of the river and built defenses based on the dense forest. And
This place is only 15 miles away from the beef loin! It must be said that it is a critical moment!
From 2:00 to 4:00 noon on January 16th, three updated battle reports were sent in succession (this is a requirement of the Fanos War Base Camp, so after soldiers arrive at a certain place, they must submit a briefing to their immediate superiors within one hour, and three
Please submit detailed information every hour):
The first briefing: In the bloody battle in the early morning, about 3,500 soldiers from Chi Aotian's army died, most of whom were civilians recruited from the Holy See; the enemy's Flying Knights may have been dispatched for harassment recently, and there were no
Involved in this bloody battle. The enemy is cutting down trees in the dense forest, which may be used for pontoons or rafts;
Second briefing: It has been confirmed that most of the trees along the Sicily River are shrubs and cannot be used to build pontoons or rafts. After investigation, Chi Aotian's army cut down the trees and knocked them down along the way, mainly to hinder the pursuers.
.Now, the Chi Aotian Legion is excavating the earth and building a stronghold on the spot. The Sweat Blood Mercenary Regiment has transferred to the local county magistrate. The Sicilian River is 6 meters deep here and the current is fast. The Sicilian River has not frozen over the years. Norton Legion Orcs
By the time thousands of troops arrived one after another, they had already occupied all the dense forests up and down the Heyin where the enemy was. The Eudemons Knights of the Sweat Blood Mercenary Group had been patrolling the river, and the enemy had not made any moves to cross the river.
The third detailed report (abstract): The Sweat and Blood Mercenary Group sent people to explore the water conditions upstream and downstream. Many people were washed away by the river, and it was confirmed that the river was impossible to cross. During this period, Chi Aotian personally led a team of 2,000 people downstream along the river bank.
During the assault, the casualties of the Norton Legion and the Sweat and Blood Mercenary Group had reached 60%. Niuyao Town sent 2,000 mercenaries and swordsman battalions to help, and they barely managed to repel Chi Aotian; the village chief of Niuyao Town sent people to collect troops along the river bank
The ferry encountered the Wild Eagle Knights, a small mercenary group that also collected ferries. In the end, they had to set fire to all the ferries. Niu Yao Town learned that the executioner army was blocked here, and some villagers came to help dig trenches to trap the enemy.
At seven o'clock in the morning on January 17th in the Magic Calendar, the main force of the Western Emperor's coalition forces finally merged with the outpost troops. In front of the coalition forces, a vast river appeared and disappeared in the lush dense forest, with ups and downs, and the rapid water of the river kept surging.
Hitting the river bank. Over a cluster of 200-meter-wide dense forest, flying the black dragon flag and the double-winged rattlesnake flag. In the woods, trees continued to fall, and then were dragged to the outermost edge, and all the tree crowns rushed out; in the woods,
From time to time there are war horses neighing, and among the dense leaves, you can even see soldiers holding bows and arrows pointing outwards.
"Norton commanded the ministries to dig the ground and build strongholds; the Grand Duke of Iron Hands blocked the river and sent troops to gather the stragglers along the original route; the secretary recorded the military merits; His Highness Xiuda rode a dragon to Ulu City to recruit two water-type dragon knights to join the battle.
At the same time, please ask His Majesty the Pope to send all the food and grass here." Commander Menton issued four orders in an orderly manner, and finally pondered for a moment: "Please be sure to ask His Highness Xiuda and the two dragon knights to return here in two days. We will see
The situation is decisive for a decisive battle with the enemy!"
