Chapter 446 The glory belongs to you
Game time PM15:59
Exactly thirty-four minutes after leaving Hodir Pass, the Paladins who killed the mutant cluster for the third time finally reappeared Back here, except for a few high-level knights who could still hold on, most people almost got off the horse in the form of "falling" after arriving. They pulled on their upper armor with difficulty, and one by one they were tired and tired. His resolute face was covered with sweat. Although he still barely maintained his formation and was sitting next to his mount, he was still shaky and looked as if he might fall down at any time.
The priests, priests, and nuns of the Heavy Interceptor Regiment rushed over immediately, praising the gods and doing their best to restore their strength. Several wounded people who were no longer able to return to the front line also ran over. Help, clumsily bandaging the injuries of those bruised horses.
There are less than 400 Paladins who have successfully returned here. There are more than 60 fewer Paladins than when they first came here. This is because Mo Tan concentrates his resources as much as possible on them. under the premise of protection.
If the Knights were put into the battlefield at the most difficult time on the front line, the nearly 10,000 mutants crowded in the mountain road would never be able to break through so easily three times. In front of the monsters that were so dense that they were almost piled together, even if there were With the high-level knights as the tip of the spear and the blessing of [United Purification], it is difficult for the knights to successfully complete the charge.
Just like using a ballpoint pen to poke at the dean’s photo stickers or simulated test questions, the difficulty of stacking them together to poke and placing them a few centimeters apart and then poking them are completely different concepts. The latter It may be completely penetrated by the students' unicorn arms and resentment, but the former is difficult to defeat with pure anger.
Mo Tan’s move to let the heavy interception group control the speed to delay the entry time of the knights was not only because he hoped that the former would reduce consumption, but also had the purpose of taking advantage of this period to lead the army. The troops try to kill as many mutants as possible, reduce their density, and make the battlefield environment more suitable for group charges.
He basically succeeded. In front of the knights who activated [Joint Purification], the mutants who were reduced to less than 7,000 at that time were completely unreasonably obstructed and were chopped off like melons and vegetables. More than a thousand of them allowed the former to complete its first charge with zero casualties.
But it’s just the first charge
When the Paladins began their second charge, that is, when they rushed from the heavy interception regiment position at Hodir Pass to the third enemy area, the effect of [Joint Purification] had disappeared, and everyone's physical strength began to slowly but surely Sliding underground, under the premise that it was impossible to stop midway, the knights who could hardly kill with one strike only killed more than 700 mutants this time. Although there were still no casualties, they felt that the equipment on their bodies It became more and more 'heavy', and it gradually became difficult to concentrate. Both physical and mental strength were slipping rapidly.
Then, after less than five minutes of short rest and supplies in the third enemy contact area, they began the third round of charge under the cover of a large number of spellcasters from the combined forces.
The third round of charge was not in very good condition
Although the priests had tried their best to recover and treat them, it only slightly compensated for their physical strength and healed them. They only suffered some skin injuries. As for mental wear and tear, there was only half a box of alchemy potions sent to the front line by Luna, which together was not enough for each person to drink half a sip.
It cannot be said that it has no effect, but it is difficult to completely eliminate the accumulated fatigue of the knights. Even if a lot of physical strength is temporarily restored by overdrafting the potential, it will be consumed very, very quickly.
After all, this is not a high-end battlefield. Except for a small number of elites, most of the joint forces are low-level or even trainee professionals. Even the proportion of mid-level ones is not very high, and the enemies are actually only slightly stronger than ordinary people. A low-level monster with no thinking, no intelligence, and almost no vital points.
In this level of competition between novices, it is already very difficult for the healer team of the United Forces to achieve this level, and it is also very difficult for Mo Tan to be able to play so many tricks.
In short, when the knights began to charge, the battlefield no longer had any tactics and completely entered the stage of deadly struggle.
The heavily armored interception group desperately blocking the mutants, the three battle sequences of resisting the large mutant troops in the enemy area, both sides of the mountain wall were so out of ammunition that they began to smash their boots, dentures, and belts The support sequence and the Knights who continued to charge in high-density clusters left everyone with only one option left: "fight to the death".
From the game time PM15:47 until now, starting with the sacrifice of a low-level paladin from the Sun Sect, in just ten minutes, more than 60 knights fell on the way they came, and The heavy interception regiment responsible for covering them.
"Reducing the number of people from two hundred to one hundred and ten? There are still more than half of them healers who are not capable of direct combat?!"
Goshawk panted and walked to the big-eared mosquito with blood foam at the corner of his mouth. In front of him, he took out a high-quality [Jujube Pill] obtained from the previous mission and stuffed it into the latter's mouth. He shook his head and said: "No, if this continues, you will definitely lose everything. I'll ask Knight Gelbin to see. Let’s see if we can get him to think about something.”
“ There's no other way."
After regaining some energy, Big Eared Mosquito struggled to stand up with his sword, wiped a few bloody cuts on his cheeks, shrugged: "And it's not necessary, as planned. For example, you only need to start from here Just rush back to the third enemy area. We call, we only need to hold on for another seven or eight minutes. If we can send you away, we will complete the mission.
Goshawk helped him. He asked with a dry smile: "Then what? ”
"Then?"
The Big-Eared Mosquito laughed, raised his fist and hammered the opponent's knight armor twice: "Then when we meet again, the third stage will be settled."< br>
“I have to admit, you are better at picking up and planting flags”
“Damn, what you said makes sense.”
A moment later
< br>
The knights, who were barely fully prepared, regrouped behind Gelbin. Although their condition in all aspects had only recovered to less than 20%, they unanimously declined follow-up treatment, saying that they could return to the field again.
This is not because time is so tight, but if these clergy continue to be treated, then when they leave, the heavy-duty interception regiment that has completely lost its endurance will definitely be wiped out in a short time. .
"Let's go, boys, the gods are with us."
Gelbin rode on his mini war horse, looking up at the neat phalanx in front of him, He lightly clicked his breastplate twice, made a blessing gesture common to the Holy Religion, then turned his horse's head and stared at the soldiers on the front line who had opened the way for the Knights.
Those who were willing to Using his own body to build a wall for the knights, he tried his best to protect his comrades who were far more powerful than him. The warriors who had been fighting in isolation until now, but never took a step back, were also looking here. The armor of each of them They were all dilapidated, covered with the filthy black blood of the mutants, and they were crumbling as if they might fall at any time, but they still stood there with gritted teeth.
The gazes they looked at the knights were pure and gentle, containing emotions such as expectations, encouragement, showing off, and giggling, but not the slightest bit of complaint.
All the living people in this position stood there upright, using weapons, shields, fists, elbows and even head hammers to smash away the monsters that were desperately squeezing in, while waiting silently. The Knights charged again.
A little further back are dozens of quiet, complete or incomplete, peaceful, glaring, or bloody corpses. They were snatched back from the pile of monsters by their companions. Fallen.
The pale-faced healers also slowly walked to the front of the position. The high priest of the Abundance Sect raised his hands as if he wanted to release a large-scale healing spell, but in the end he only lit up a flower in mid-air. The dim yellow mist quickly dissipated in the breeze.
"Let's go, boys, the gods are with us." The survivors of the Heavy Interceptor Regiment heard Gelbin's instructions to the knights, and they all turned around with smiles and cast their respects at them. With expectant and encouraging eyes, he then saw the leading dwarf knight turning to him and the others, solemnly raised the sword in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "And the glory belongs to you."
“The glory belongs to you!”
Three hundred and ninety-seven holy knights uniformly raised their swords in front of their foreheads, and looked at Da Er standing in front of him with his sword in his eyes. Mosquito, the unconscious Furman, the high priest of the Abundance Sect who was trying hard to suppress another magical spell, the dwarf priest who turned around and smiled while swinging a hammer at a mutant's chin, all the people standing there, all the fallen The people there solemnly performed a knightly salute and repeated in a loud voice: "The glory belongs to you!"
Two lines of clear tears fell from the eyes of a female warrior covered in blood, and she hugged her tightly. The human young man in his arms, who had lost his left arm and was unconscious due to heavy injuries, suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs: "Kill them!"
"Okay, wait for our triumphant return."
< br>
Gelbin nodded solemnly, flicked his cloak, which was no more than a pillow towel, raised the long sword in his hand, and floated toward the mutants like a ray of breeze.
“Wait for our triumphant return!”
After that wisp of breeze, there was a storm composed of three hundred and ninety-seven Paladins, roaring toward the even larger army outside the position. The monster swarm swept away.
Game time PM16:06
Misha County United Forces Paladins began their fourth charge.
At the same time
Hodir Mountain Road, the third enemy area
"The Goshawk sent news that the Knights had begun their fourth charge twenty seconds ago."
Yu Ying quickly scanned the message board and said calmly behind Mo Tan: "He did not report the status of the Paladins, and the time of arrival cannot be judged."
This indescribable emotion The female assassin has resumed her duties as an adjutant. On the one hand, she has exhausted most of her physical strength in the past few hours, to the point where she would fall to the ground after just two steps. On the other hand, Because Mo Tan has completely handled the news from all sides, he has now focused all his energy on field command, adjusting every detail as much as possible at all times, just to make the situation that is close to collapse The defense continues to hold up.
This is by no means an easy job, even for him who is quite talented in this area. Although the number of enemies has been reduced to a minimum, correspondingly, his own combat effectiveness has already begun to fall off a cliff. The soldiers' His physical strength has already reached its limit, and his mental pressure has become increasingly intense. A slight mistake may lead to a complete collapse.
All intelligent creatures have limits, even people with strong wills, so Mo Tan dare not make any omissions now, for fear that one misjudgment on his part will make all the results of the battle in vain
“No status reported?”
Mo Tan frowned, nodded slightly and said, "I probably know what's going on. Later, you send a message to the herald of the heavy-armed interceptor group named Big-eared Mosquito and ask him if the healer over there is There is still power left. If the answer is yes, then they may still be saved, as long as the Knights can Hurry up in time! The people over there at eleven o'clock will be intercepted soon!"
He stepped into the half-meter range affected by the amplification magic and shouted anxiously. He received the instruction, but the rapidly changing battlefield did not give Mo Tan a chance this time. Almost as soon as he spoke As soon as the sound fell, dozens of mutants who came from the side forced the three squads back and roared towards the left side of the battle line. The squad trapped in the enemy group had been completely cut off on the right front of the main force. , turned into a lone army, a lone army that could not get any support for at least ten minutes.
The mistake finally came. In this battlefield where there was no organization at this moment and the three battle sequences were completely mixed together. As long as he had the physical strength, he would be pulled to the front line to fight. After being slightly distracted, he finally Or did you miss something?
[Wait a minute, I remember that I should have asked them to withdraw just now, why.]
Mo Tan was in a daze for a moment, and at this moment, the weapon that only The 'lone army' of four people had successfully attracted the attention of the domineering mutants around them.
“It’s over!”
The big orc man, who was waving his war hammer desperately and trying to open a passage, had a bitter look on his face. Although he had tried very hard, he couldn’t get through the so-called blood path at all. After more than ten seconds, he could no longer even move towards the position.
"Then let's fight with them."
Two human girls standing back to back with determination on their faces said loudly: "Help buy two minutes, we will detonate our magic power and go home with them"< br>
"No need."
Wearing a black and white robe, the pure and sweet-looking 'Great Onmyoji Gu Xiaole' shook his head and lazily raised his hands.
The next moment, two things appeared in front of her.
On the left is a pale white tablet.
On the right is a dark red talisman.
"[Secret Technique of Spiritual Mediums - Ghost Realm]!"
She suddenly threw the tablet into the air, and then crushed the tablet that was constantly ' The struggling talisman.
[Yin Yang Yi Shu - Paper Egret]! ”
