Chapter 299 The Stoneman Empire accelerates its evolution and gradually goes crazy (2/2)
The Stoneman Empire.
Under the strong attack of the Eternal Night Empire, all areas outside the hinterland have fallen. The territory of the Stoneman Empire has been greatly reduced. Not only has the situation of lords from all sides co-existing, but the belief in gods among them has also been greatly reduced. Chaos.
In addition to the Dark God and the True God of Stone, there are also a lot of messy things popping up. Among them are the promoters of other players, and there are also evil organizations specially led by Eternal Night believers to oppose the True God of Stone.
In short, under the contamination of these beliefs, the Shiren True God's control over believers within the territory has been significantly weakened.
Even with special means, Jim was able to repair his injuries in advance in just a few years, but his strength was at least 10% lower than before.
The fall of the empire's territory allowed the world consciousness of the Eternal Night Plane to briefly enter this continent. This resulted in Jim's local advantage being no longer as obvious as before.
As for the death of a large number of devout believers and the betrayal of a large number of stone people, it has caused a lot of problems in the foundation of his god. Fortunately, the players' believers are currently in an extremely saturated state.
Even if it is reduced a lot, it is still enough to support him and allow him to maintain his status as a true god.
Otherwise, according to the standard of reluctant promotion in ancient times, I am afraid that the Stoneman True God has begun to be eroded by faith at this time.
Although attacks were launched from all directions, the southern region of the Stoneman Empire was still the main attack direction of Yongye's army.
After years of evolution, they understood that hiding in the city was an army of stone men waiting to die, and they did not continue to guard the city. They walked out of the city, formed their own army, and then carried those more extreme characteristics and began Fight head-on with Yongye's army.
Lagodi Plains.
Two completely different armies are fighting. The numerical gap between the two sides is quite disparate, almost reaching a ratio of four to one. However, it can be seen from the battle situation that the smaller black armored army occupies a clear advantage. Advantages.
“For the lord of mountains and rivers, for the continuation of the Stoneman Empire, the brave warriors of the empire fight against these invaders!” The commander of the Stoneman army shouted, and his voice passed through special spiritual magic. It spread to the ears of all stone warriors, boosting the morale of the warriors.
“For the Lord of the mountains and rivers, for the glory of the gods!”
“Kill! Even if you die, you have to take a bite of the flesh!”
“Despicable invasion Come on, sir!”
The brave stone warriors were already prepared to die before they came. At this moment, they all showed enthusiasm, like moths rushing to the flames, and rushed towards the Yongye army. .
This is an ambush battle with more people attacking less people.
Even now, in terms of intelligence, the Stoneman Empire still has an absolute advantage.
They often use the surrounding environment and terrain to encircle and suppress the scattered Eternal Night Legion, and this time it is the same.
As the Yong Ye army penetrates deep into the Stoneman Empire, the battle lines continue to extend, and there are more and more targets to deal with. Even if a large number of legions are deployed from the empire, the Yong Ye army still becomes scattered. .
Facing the Stoneman Empire, which can recruit soldiers anytime and anywhere, they are often at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
Being ambushed and ambushed is also common.
Nothing.
Since it dares to fight like this, the Evernight Empire naturally has its own confidence.
“A mere legion of miscellaneous fish wants to stop us, what a wishful thinking!” There is only one legion of warriors, but this pure human Eternal Night legion, facing the crazy offensive of the stone man army, not only has no Choosing to avoid the edge temporarily, under the leadership of the legion commander, a counterattack was carried out.
“Death!”
The captain held a long dark sword in his hand, without any bells and whistles, and slashed it out at the stone warrior in front of him.
With a swishing sound, a small bloodstain appeared between the brows of the elite stone man, and then spread downwards, penetrating the entire body.
I couldn’t even feel the pain, and the stone man, the Thousand Captain, split into two halves.
“Kill!”
The fanatical stone warriors were not intimidated and rushed forward with a big sword in hand. Energy surged out from the ground under their feet, and the blades glowed with light. They were fearless. The dead one struck at the captain of Yongye.
Defense, no need.
In the face of this kind of super-standard damage, defense has almost the same meaning as no defense. At most, it only means surviving for two seconds longer and then being killed.
Rather than die in vain, it is better to fight with your life.
After understanding the reason, the stone warriors did not defend themselves at all.
Only attack but not defend, I will give you my life.
[Characteristic ① Sacrifice: Sacrifice everything to greatly increase strength in a short period of time (cannot be stopped)]
[Characteristic 1: Armor Breaking: Give up defense and increase penetration damage by 20% to 50%]
[Characteristic 1: Offense and Defense Conversion: Convert part of defense power into lethality]
Obviously just ordinary Fourth-level warriors, but at this moment they showed extremely strong lethality, no weaker than normal sixth-level warriors.
However, not enough.
Not enough.
“Courage is admirable, but strength is not!”
Captain Yongye, his eyes were shining with scarlet light, and his body was covered in blood, like a demon warrior from hell.
The long knife swept across, and an arc suddenly appeared.
The four stone warriors were directly intercepted at the waist.
The stone warriors are already good, but their combat effectiveness is not enough for them to defeat the Eternal Night Army.
A warrior named Yong Ye, holding a long knife, rushed forward to kill.
As the sword was swung, several stone warriors fell to the ground.
Although they also suffered casualties during this period, in comparison, the casualties of the stone soldiers were greater. The proportion of casualties on both sides was much higher than the proportion of soldiers on the scene.
In other words, if both sides fight to the death and refuse to retreat, then the larger army of stone men will die first.
Judging from the madness at the scene, a fight to the death is very likely.
The legion composed of fanatical believers is so terrifying, with a death rate that a normal legion cannot bear.
Even though they suffered heavy casualties, they were still able to maintain their structure and continue to fight the enemy bravely.
But it's not of much use.
Even if they chose an extreme route and used self-destruction, they briefly gained strength that they should not have at this stage.
But the gap in hard power between the two sides is really too big.
The legions of the Eternal Night Empire have a solid foundation, and their regular legions are relatively versatile, with no obvious shortcomings, and are not afraid of the stone warriors fighting for their lives.
The battle lasted for more than ten hours without stopping. When their own numbers were about to drop to twice the size of the Eternal Night Army, the Stoneman army finally couldn't bear it anymore. After leaving the corpses on the ground, they chose to retreat directly.
“Stop, stop chasing.”
After chasing for a certain distance, the legion commander gave up the pursuit.
After all, this is the opponent's territory. If we continue to pursue him, there will probably be no results.
Besides, after fighting for so long, even if the soldiers under my command are particularly good at fighting, they are all a little tired at the moment, and their condition is not particularly good. If they are caught in another encirclement during the pursuit, I am afraid the losses will not be huge. So small.
"Return to rest and summon a group of undead warriors. These guys have become more and more arrogant recently. If we don't teach them a lesson, I really think we can't do anything to them." Put away the corpses everywhere, only The remaining more than 7,000 Yongye warriors quickly retreated and marched quickly in the direction they came from.
In front of the escape route of the remnants of the Stone Man army, with the help of the divine blessing, the Stone Man warriors hiding in the mountains were a little disappointed when they saw that the Yong Ye army did not pursue them.
"These guys were very cruel when they beat them, but they were unexpectedly cautious in the end. They are really difficult to deal with, damn it!" The Stoneman Commander was a little annoyed. He had been preparing for so long and paid such a high price. , but the opponent actually didn't catch the trap, which really made him feel like he had no power to use.
If the Yongye Legion didn't enter the trap, he wouldn't dare to go directly to surround them. Otherwise, if the enemy saw that the situation was not good and ran away, he would really be in tears.
A powerful enemy is difficult to deal with, but a powerful and cunning enemy is even more difficult to deal with.
The legions of the Eternal Night Empire are very brave when fighting. They will fight to the death. However, if they encounter a situation where they cannot win, and there are no hard requirements, they will not hesitate when retreating.
"It's okay to replace more than two thousand Yongye warriors." The adjutant next to him calmly comforted.
"What's the use? We are fighting more and more undead warriors on the opposite side. If we continue like this, the entire empire territory will be covered by undead. We will just change our name to the Undead Empire in the future!" The stone man commander heard this. , rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"There is no way, the opponent's method is too rogue."
Another stone man general said helplessly, "Unless we can win the frontal battlefield and dispose of the corpses , otherwise according to the current style of play, the opponent's strength will continue to grow, but..."
But if they can win the frontal battlefield, they will not engage in such small tricks.
Now they are on a frontal battlefield, unable to win no matter what, so they have to hunt these individual legions to slow down the frontal progress of Yongye's army.
“Alas”
The stone man commander sighed, "Retreat! Tell Darko to enter a latent state and stop recruiting soldiers. After a while, when the limelight has passed, we will give him support weapons and equipment."
"Yes."
The eastern region, deep into the hinterland of the empire.
On a low plain, two armies were fighting. One of them was the orc army, and the other was the stone man army. There were nearly 200,000 people in total. The fight was fierce.
In terms of numbers, the stone army has a slight advantage, but the situation on the entire battlefield is a stalemate.
The two sides fought evenly.
The overall strength of Jim's Stone Man Empire and Ji Xingwei's Orc Empire are not much different, and the two sides have no restraint effect in terms of power.
Theoretically, given the local advantage, the Stoneman army should have a big advantage.
However, since all the elite legions were transferred to the southern theater, the legions remaining in the eastern region at this time were mostly recruits, with very few elites among them.
So there is really no good way to deal with the orc army.
"For His Majesty the Orcs, break them up!"
The Orc Legion Commander roared angrily and led his guards forward to form an arrow formation, hoping to penetrate the stone men's defense line on the opposite side.
However, it did not have much effect.
The taciturn stone man heavy infantry slowly raised their shields and stepped on the earth. A steady stream of power came up, like low mountains, blocking the front of the orc army. No matter how they attacked, they could not breakdown.
In the face of the Eternal Night Legion, the extremely fragile defense used to deal with these orc legions finally exerted its due effect.
Some veterans who had participated in the war in the southern theater even wanted to laugh when facing the 'onslaught' of the orc army.
With this strength, I also want to learn from others to break the formation, maybe my brain is not awake yet!
Weak, too weak.
It is true that they themselves cannot effectively kill the orc army.
But this is not important. After all, their purpose is not to annihilate the orc army, but to hold them back.
Moreover, in such a low-intensity war, the Stoneman Empire can effectively train its new recruits. It will not be like the southern war zone. If one does not pay attention, not to mention the new recruits, the elite army will be wiped out.
It can be said that the Stoneman Empire has entered a state of madness now, and they have begun to gather all their strength to resist the attack of the Eternal Night Empire.
As for the future, it’s gone now, so why bother about the future!
After simply training the stone people, they went directly to the eastern battlefield and proactively looked for fighting opportunities. After surviving a few battles, they were transferred to the southern theater to encircle and annihilate the lone Yongye Legion. Legion of servants.
Since the Stone Man Empire was desperate, the southern war zone was okay and strong enough, but the orc army in the eastern war zone was a bit miserable. Every now and then, they had to face several times the stone man army.
Even if they continue to mobilize orc legions from the mainland, it will not help. The other side does not care about the casualties at all, and just uses the stone warriors as numbers.
Under such circumstances, had it not been for the blood transfusion from the Evernight Empire, the orc army would have been pushed back to the border.
At this time, the situation on this battlefield is a microcosm of the entire eastern theater.
The orc commander struggled to command the legion and wanted to destroy the enemy legion, but he was really unable to do so.
Too hard.
"Damn it!"
After a night of fierce fighting, just when the orc commander was scolding and the stone man commander was proud, there was some movement in the distance.
"Roar——"
"For the fear of the ancestral gods!"
"Kill these stone men and sacrifice them to His Majesty the great god!"
A Naga legion led three dark murloc legions to appear from behind the stone man army.
When the orc commander saw this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Stop these stone men, don't let them escape!"
"Here they come again, retreat quickly!"
The stone men The commander-in-chief's reaction was exactly the opposite, but he was not too panicked. Apparently he had encountered similar scenes before.
While letting the stone man heavy infantry go to intercept, at the same time, he took out the fighting stone man army and prepared to retreat.
At the same time, the stone magician also began to change the surrounding environment, making it more dusty.
