Chapter 178 Confrontation
It is not the best choice for the cavalry to charge head-on. If you want to achieve the best effect, you must cooperate with the advancement of the infantry. Even in a fantasy world, this law is difficult to change.
However, there are always great variables on the battlefield. Druchi and the Chaos Alliance, who had a clear numerical advantage, began to charge. Even if Assur could achieve a one-for-three battle loss ratio, Malekith believed that victory could still be achieved. .
After Imric received the Spear of Valor, he saw the Cold Lizard Knights charging head-on with the Dragon Prince he led, as well as the Witch Spirit troops beside them. The two armies that were the first to meet violently collided with each other.
The dragon prince's lance and the cold lizard knight's soul eater have been fighting each other for thousands of years, always winning and losing, but this time the victory has been decided long ago.
The Cold Lizard Knights discovered that the Soul Eater in their hands was unable to pierce the Dragon Prince's shield and dragon armor, which shocked them. Dragon armor can provide high physical defense and fire resistance, but there has never been such a seemingly indifference. High-speed impact occurs.
Every time the lance thrust out, an enemy would fall. Those wizard spirits who cooperated with the cold lizard's charge were hit by the war horses, and then turned into flesh in the trampling. Madness and bloodthirsty were powerless to change their brittle nature. .
After Mortellius carried his master on his back and stepped into the battlefield, his horse's hooves were raised high and kicked the cold lizard's stinky head in front of him into pieces. Imric hung the flag behind him, the heroic spear burning in his hand, and kept sweeping across Every enemy who tried to block him took away the lives of several Druzis with every wave of his hand.
A spearhead was built with the dragon lord as the core. Wherever the iron hooves touched, blood turned into lakes, and the infantry at the rear immediately followed up, firmly guarding the gap.
After picking up the spear of valor and piercing the cold lizard noble, Imric asked Mortellius to slow down some of the charging speed and observed the battle situation.
After he led the Dragon Prince to charge, the two sides were already fighting. The Dragon Prince tore a hole in the enemy's formation. Others were holding on to the passage, with spears and spears constantly intersecting, wailing and roaring. Echoes all around.
The Dread Spearmen cooperated with a large number of Chaos Reavers in an attempt to break through Caledor's position in the middle, but after their bodies were pierced and their heads chopped off, they could only become nutrients for the Finnvar Plains.
Looking ahead, I found that most of the surroundings were surrounded by such cannon fodder troops. These cold lizard knights and wizard spirits who were killed immediately seemed to be bait, luring the most elite Dragon Prince into being surrounded by enemy troops.
While thinking, he casually killed several fear spearmen who tried to attack. The arrows of the black sharp crossbowmen in the distance jingled on the armor, and then fell to the ground feebly.
Looking up at the Witch King sitting on the Iron Throne on the hill in the distance, Imric judged the distance between himself and him. If he chose to forcefully break the formation and kill the generals, Malekith would have a large number of Nagarond beside him. Black Guard, even if they break through the formation of these stepping troops, the troops they lead will fall into the encirclement.
"Turn around, let's go back." Imric judged that the Witch King planned to use these people as cannon fodder. After consuming the physical strength of the Caledonians, he would then invest the elite troops, or he would put the elite troops on both wings to make a breakthrough. Weak Etain and Iris.
Tyrion himself is not worried, and Elsharion also has Davian and Tyran Locke soldiers helping, so there is a high probability that there will be no problem.
After turning the horse's head, he looked up at the magic storm above his head. The Archmage Council was fighting with the sorceresses of Naggaroth. It was unable to use magic to support the battlefield in a short period of time, while the Magic Swordsman and the Hoth Sword Master stayed behind. Predetermined position awaits one's orders.
When turning back, the Dragon Prince contacted Adila and said, "Adila, send your chariot troops to the center line. Caledo will cooperate with your charge." "Copy that." After returning to the
original
position , Imrik looked at Masnow. He did not ride a dragon to fight like other high-level dragon princes. Instead, he rode a war horse and charged with his comrades.
"You are responsible for assisting Edgar in the charge. I need to sit here." The Dragon Prince resisted the idea of charging with others. As a commander, it is impossible to stay on the front line all the time, even if his strength may be the strongest in his own camp. Strong. "Yes."
After saying that, Edgar, who served as the Dragon Prince's flag officer this time, led everyone to the flanks of the center line. They needed to wait for Tyron Locke's chariot troops to break down the enemy's line.
Imric looked at the Caledonians who were fighting with Druzi and the Chaos Barbarians on the front line. Under the cover of his comrades, he pierced the enemy's heart with a sharp spear, and then marched together to oppress the enemy's front in unison.
The long-term replacement of armor made their strict discipline more effective. Even in the case of mistakes, the steel carefully blessed by the Vaal priests can still ensure their life safety.
The archers at the rear are always venting their firepower. The silver arrows can often successfully pierce the weak points of the enemy's armor. The most noteworthy ones are the mountain rangers. These warriors who silently guard the Dragon's Back Mountains hold in their hands He is holding a big bow as tall as a person, and the arrows in his hands are like small siege crossbows. The sound of the bow string rebounding when shooting is loud.
They don't need to target the enemy's weak points at all. Even the thickest breastplate will be pierced by the astonishing power of this special bow, and the target will die on the spot.
Finally, looking at Malekith, I found that his green eyes seemed to be full of jest. Even though these Caledonians had killed ten or a hundred, there were still thousands of warriors behind. This wave of The advantage lies with me. Druchi is just a tool for the Witch King to regain his throne. No matter how many people die, it will still be worthless compared to the Phoenix Throne.
Imric looked at the Witch King coldly. He did not take action immediately. Both sides were still in the stage of testing each other. Except for the confrontation between the Dragon Prince and the Cold Lizard Knight, most of the elite troops did not show up.
In this case, use the fastest way to clear out these miscellaneous soldiers, so that the Witch King can't help but send out his elite troops.
After calculating how long it would take for Adira to arrive on the battlefield, her troops were far away from here. This was to create a time difference and rapid support from all directions. She picked up the communicator and said, "The Wrath of Vaal, the Holy Fire of Ardaeus No., the coordinates are as follows..., start shooting immediately."
With Imrik's order and the sound of the horn for the troops to gather, the Caledonians began to tighten their front line and voluntarily gave up the pace of active offensive. In the war A steel city wall was erected in the middle.
Not far from the coastline, two battleships suddenly appeared. They were both cast by Saffrey's mages using a large amount of energy stones as spell energy, and cast invisibility spells. Unless they were very close, it would be difficult to find them.
Hundreds of siege crossbow bolts from the Dragon Claw Crossbow pierced the air and shot at the enemy. Because of the gap between the cliff and the sea level, the flight trajectory of the crossbow arrows was almost parallel. The powerful crossbow bolts penetrated the lives of several people with one shot. The body, the target being hit was strung up like a candied haws after the blood seeped out of the body.
And all of a sudden, hundreds of these candied haws skewers appeared on the battlefield.
And this is not over yet. The Ardaeus Holy Fire next to it activated the main gun on the deck. This giant magic cannon called the Flame Hotbed requires the joint control of the Ardaeus priest and the pyromancer to use it. The specific effect of this thing It’s a monkey version of the Engine of the Gods.
The obsidian pillars engraved with a large number of Vulcan inscriptions gradually turn red from the bottom. These substances formed by the cooling of magma seem to have returned to their previous form at this moment. When staring at this magical cannon made of obsidian, there will be a feeling of watching the flames. Blurred vision means.
After the energy reached its peak, the soldiers who were waiting to fight the Caledonians found that red spots seemed to appear on their bodies, and then a feeling of suffocation appeared. A fiery red energy column connected to the sky was venting its terrifying power towards the ground.
