Chapter 536 Chapter 533: Cutting the Throat
At the same time that Xiu casually killed his brother and left [Female Bee] leisurely...
Game time PM20 :58
Horse Sauer Territory, outside Mercury City
The coalition of lords who deployed the 'Violet Eagle Formation' has also rushed to an extremely dangerous distance for the defenders. As the warriors with eagle beaks and eagle wings, It was also at this time that I saw my 'enemy'.
Even without feedback from the scouts, many warriors with outstanding vision have already seen the Marshall Army under the city wall, which has deployed a standard defensive formation. The Ice Curtain Mage Group and the Buffy Sword Knights are located on both sides of the city gate, with the most powerful The mercury guards with strong strength stood neatly on the city wall, filling the place in silence like a mass of black stone sculptures. Their expressions were serious and cold, and their armors mixed with a large amount of mithril and magic alloy shone in the moonlight. Shining, extremely oppressive and imposing.
However, the so-called sense of oppression is only for ordinary people, and it is not enough in front of these more than 50,000 elite troops from various families.
After all, with similar average strength, the latter has a huge numerical advantage, so it is completely impossible to be scared by the opponent.
They were just a little confused as to why the other party did not seem to be in a desperate stance, but stayed in place calmly like a guard of honor. The distance between the two sides was only two thousand meters. At this point, with the strength of the Marshall Ice Curtain Mage Group, it is completely possible to carry out magic sweeps here. Although we have already expected it, under the large-scale and high-frequency long-distance bombing, some casualties will inevitably occur. There will also be some interference in the formation, but those people just don't move!
Not only the ordinary elite soldiers and officers, but also Archduke Baroka, Archduke Simon and others can't understand each other's behavior. But now that the matter has come to this, the lords' coalition is on the verge of an arrow. The scouts also clearly signaled that they had encountered resistance. His Majesty Clerval, the nominal commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, also issued an order to kill the resisters on the spot regardless of their identity. Therefore, no matter how doubtful everyone was, And never stop.
Unless...unless when the army has overwhelmed the people of Mercury City, the other side still hasn't made the slightest move to resist, in that case it's a different matter.
Two thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters, one thousand meters, five hundred meters...
With the continuous feedback from several high-level rangers blessed by the eagle eye technique, many people They all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because the Knights of Buffy's Sword and the Wizards of Ice Curtain who were entrenched in front of the city gate had not made any movement until now. They were really guarding both sides of the city gate like two honor guards, as if they were respectfully welcoming the coalition forces. The arrival of the same.
But the doubts in the hearts of those in high positions and some people with flexible minds have become even deeper.
It is true that the current Mercury City has indeed retracted all the spikes as if welcoming itself, and the opponent's knights and mages have also missed countless opportunities to attack, but this still does not mean anything, otherwise , why did the scouts send out a 'resistance encountered' signal, and why did all the people sent to negotiate before never return?
If these are all the work of the Marshall family, then they must have a conspiracy...
But what if it is not their work?
【Could it be that someone is plotting against both sides at the same time! ? 】
Archduke Ximu Simon, who was in the center of the right wing, frowned and felt that this idea was too whimsical.
The dark elf archduke, who was wearing black and red light armor and a gorgeous heraldic cloak, narrowed his eyes slightly. He was holding a short sword in his left hand and a staff in his right hand. He was not very strong. , but it is full of force.
That's right, this Grand Duke Simon has never been a strong man. Let alone his colleagues at the level of Marshall or Baroka, even the eldest lady of the Crystal Wolf family can probably beat this cold-faced shota with one hand (although He has a face and age of about forty years old, but from the perspective of an elf, Simon is still a very pink young lady), but from the perspective of the meticulousness of his mind and the upper limit of his IQ , this young lady can definitely be ranked among the top three among these grand dukes, so he discovered something was wrong at the first time.
[However, there is almost no possibility of third party intervention. The Marshall family has absolute control over their territory, and it is impossible for anyone to make any decisions without concealing it from them. 】
Archduke Simon stroked his chin and murmured in a low voice among a large number of kind-looking guards (average age 370): "In other words, regardless of the person who caused the scouts' feedback and the interceptor and negotiator, Whether the people are openly affiliated with the Marshall family and whether they are members of the three major legions, the possibility that the mastermind behind them is the Marshall will never change. If this is the premise... what is the purpose of their unnecessary actions? ?”
He did not have enough time to come up with the answer, because the lord coalition was less than three hundred meters away from the east gate of Mercury City at this moment, and the Marshall family’s mages and knights and the Praetorian Guards remained unmoved.
Of course, at this moment...
The huge east gate of Mercury City collapsed in a burst of explosions, and a team of a thousand people suddenly roared and fought out of it. These people did not have standard equipment and had different professions. Some of them were wearing tattered robes and waving staffs. The casters include slow-moving heavily armored knights on short horses, and bare-chested berserkers wielding axes. In short, they give people a particularly rabble-like feeling.
The next second, these mobs roared and launched a charge towards the lord coalition. Many of the mages among them threw out large-scale destructive magic desperately, not caring whether it would affect their own people.
So, the tight strings of the soldiers were broken...
You must know that this is at night. Although there are things like moonlight and lighting, the visibility is definitely not high. Wherever they go, even if most people have seen the collapsed city gate, few people can tell the difference between those rabble and the knights and mages of the Marshall family, so at the moment of being attacked, even though those Some people who were powerful or blessed with vision spells did not act rashly, but more people chose to fight back immediately!
After all, the order everyone received before was - shoot and kill those who resist.
Therefore, at the moment when they were attacked by magic and cold arrows, the long-range professionals in the Dantes and Hussein family armies who were at the forefront fought back fiercely. The attack range covered the entire city wall, whether it was a mob or a Palestinian. The Fei Sword Knights and the Ice Curtain Mage Group are all covered.
The ranger's arrows and powerful crossbows splashed out, and the flames and thunder summoned by the caster crashed down, directly 'ploughing' hundreds of people. Many wizard knights of the Marshall family did not even react. They were blown away before they could react, and the motley crew fell to the ground in large pieces. Then the situation got out of control...
The well-trained Buffy Sword Knights immediately reorganized their formation after the first wave of attacks, mobilized their horses, drew their weapons, and stepped on They began to charge with a neat pace like a drum; the Ice Curtain Mage Group also immediately launched seven or eight types of defensive spells, and after a brief period of confusion, they uniformly blessed themselves with a large number of auxiliary or amplifying magics, and then ordered them in an orderly manner. Singing the joint magic, they built endless ice walls in front of them to resist the charge of the knights who were close at hand.
As the main force of the Marshall family, they are naturally very aware of the attack method of the Lords Alliance's 'Purple Eagle Formation'. Although in theory, their own side at the shoulder position of the eagle is no longer in the formation, the opponent's first few waves The offensive will not be weakened by a lack of this degree.
That's right, Mo Tan actually guessed wrong before. Although "non-combatant" personnel like him and Futaba were placed in the central area, the regiment that was supposed to be there was not Marshall, but Fernan. It was just to maintain With the offensive complete, the warriors under the Fernand family were moved to the left shoulder area of the 'Violet Eagle Formation', replacing the Marshall family and the Fire Claw to form a horn, so the central area was vacated.
In short, the two sides went to war without anyone having time to react!
As the two wings, the Simon Family Night Watch Legion and the Baroka Family Panshan Heavy Knights were the first to launch the offensive. In an instant, they raised their speed to the limit, like two guillotines from the left and right. The sides were cut up at the same time. In terms of impact alone, the heavily armored knights of the Baroka family can be said to be the most violet. Even the wolf cavalry of the Fire Claws are far less ferocious than them. Although they have shortcomings in speed and endurance, as a With Eagle Wings, they can always cause the most damage at the beginning, no matter who the opponent is.
As for the Simon family's Night Watch Legion, although they are both Eagle Wings, they are at completely opposite extremes from the Baroka Heavy Knights. This is a group composed of three professional systems: monk, thief, and ranger. The mixed army does not have an overly powerful impact, but it has extremely strong mobility and comprehensiveness. It can handle it easily whether it is close combat or long-range containment. Although it is difficult to penetrate the enemy's formation, it can be contained and entangled. In terms of fighting, they are undoubtedly powerful. Even if the opponent is the prestigious Knights of Buffy's Sword, these quiet dark elf warriors have no doubt that they can suppress the opponent.
Because they are not fighting alone. The [Violet Eagle Right Shoulder] following the Night Watch Legion - the Fire Claw Wolf Cavalry is like a hungry wolf stalking its prey, always ready to tear it apart. Prey trapped by the Night's Watch.
However, the Fernan Iron Gate Guards, who are also Eagle Shoulders, are almost interesting. They are known for their defensive capabilities. They are obviously not very suitable for this task. Because of their slow movement speed, it is difficult for them to fall further and further behind. Immediately cover the Rock Mountain Knights.
But this is harmless. At this moment, the latter has smashed through more than a dozen ice barriers in a barbaric way, and pounced on the ice barrier protected by dozens of magic and barriers like a tiger opening the gate. The Ice Curtain Mage Group.
On the other side, the Knights of Buffy's Sword, who had just started to charge, and were far from reaching the limit of speed, had already collided with the Night Watch Legion. The latter rushed to the front with nearly a hundred people. The monk was pierced through the body in an instant, and the dark elf rangers wandering in the center of the team suddenly burst into action when the knights slowed down, killing dozens of knights with a roaring rain of arrows.
Immediately afterwards, nearly a hundred traps that had been laid on the spot were activated, and dozens more knights fell down from their horses in embarrassment. Before they could get up, their throats were cut off by cold and sharp daggers. Tube.
Not far away, wolves howled suddenly, and the wolf cavalry of the Fire Claw leader had separated from the large army and came roaring with their sharp scimitars.
The Knights of Buffy's Sword quickly found themselves in a difficult situation.
At the same time, the rest of the lord coalition forces, which were still maintaining normal speed, had also pressed forward, because the Ice Curtain Mage Group and the Buffy Sword Knights had been completely contained, and the mercury gun on the wall The guards still have no intention of taking action, so the only obstacle between them and Mercury City is the ragtag army that looks like a ragtag group.
But it turns out that those people are not just what they seem, they are a real group of rabble!
As an eagle's beak, Dantes's Golden Crow Guards killed half of the opponent's men in just a few minutes. These swordsmen and spellcasters with extremely strong attack capabilities couldn't believe that the enemy would be so reckless. After beating.
Obviously, maybe even these 'rabble' have average strength at the middle level, but they are far behind in terms of coordination, equipment, and combat literacy, so they almost collapse at the first touch.
At least, that's what it looked like on the surface...
Half a minute later, just as the mages in Dantes's Golden Crow Guards were preparing to use a small-scale joint spellcasting to end these clowns, nearly a hundred of them arrived. An incredible figure suddenly rushed out from the remaining hundreds of mobs, broke into the formation of the 'Beak of Dantès' in an instant, and then disappeared like this!
Another half minute later, a large number of mages who had been safely performing joint spellcasting at the rear were placed in a large area like wheat. The chain reaction of the sudden stop of magic output directly caused more than 400 mages to suffer backlash. The large number of melee professionals who stayed behind as guards did not even find the enemy.
The Hussein Tianping Guards that followed were also attacked. As an eagle-necked legion with strong comprehensive capabilities, they did not lose traces of the enemy, but were touched by someone who did not know when. The 'elites' who came in front of him killed them all. Although they were outnumbered and resisted vigorously, some people continued to fall in groups. Not only because the enemy was too strong, many people seemed to be suffering. When he was attacked by some kind of mental spell, he fell to the ground with a 'squeak' and threw himself on the street.
In addition, the Hussein Scale Guards have always maintained a semicircular formation that encompasses the Violet Royal Family. As a result, their defense line is too thin, so there are less than a thousand people in the middle. After holding on for less than five minutes, he was forced to break through.
The attackers, with less than a tenth of their losses, cut into the smallest one - the Violet Eagle's Throat - in a ferocious manner.
The Imperial Emperor Clive Bresne, who is personally leading the expedition, is there!
