Chapter 479: Tell me how to lose with this kind of lineup (please subscribe for a 10,000-word chapter)
As a war with a specific time, place and rules of engagement, naturally there are not so many bells and whistles. Hard power, the cooperation of the military, as well as the command level of their respective officers and their control of fleeting fighter jets.
But what is really interesting is that Fuzoul Chamberry did not choose the time of the battle during the day when the view was better, but in the evening, at six o'clock, which was only about an hour before dark. bell.
Obviously, he either wanted to use the collective night vision ability of his monster army to do something small, or he planned to hold on until dark and then take a boat with his direct relatives to run along the river.
In short, those ogres, trolls, giants and goblins that eat too much and are not easy to control must be given up.
On the one hand, these guys are under too much pressure on logistical supplies, and they cannot afford to feed them without the massive fish and meat provided by Zuo Si for free;
On the other hand, these guys are more inclined to the chaotic camp by nature. , it is almost difficult to be transformed into evil law. Once it loses the control of the Tyrant's Scepter, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.
To sum up, Fuzuoer Qianberry is going to treat these tens of thousands of monsters as a gift package, and give them all to Zuo Si and the huge coalition led by him to kill them.
In addition, the green dragons and black dragons that were won over by promising treasures are also part of the experience gift package.
After all, he saw hundreds of dragon knights in the sky, and the spears in their hands flashing with dazzling lightning.
Only the orcs, half-orcs, and hobgoblins who are easier to control and have completely converted to Bane, the god of tyranny, have the opportunity to follow the tyrant of the Moon Sea and retreat eastward to Zhentil Keep by boat.
In fact, before the coalition forces arrived, two to three thousand elites had already gone to the ports along the Longhu coast in the name of escorting trophies.
If nothing else goes wrong, they will take a boat there and head north along the coastline of Sambia, passing through the Dragon Bay and a narrow seaway, and finally entering the Moon controlled by Zhentil Fort. ocean.
With so many professional troops escorting us, I believe that the pirates located in the central archipelago of Falling Star Sea would not dare to approach easily.
You must know that the reputation of Zhentil Keep and the Zhentarim Order is not comparable to that of a mere group of pirates.
If this group of pirates dared to touch the tiger's butt, then Fuzoul Chambery would not mind launching an attack on the Pirate Islands on the way back, taking with him all the treasures robbed from the enemy's lair or provided by coastal cities. Walk.
But what he didn't know was that although most of the coalition soldiers were made up of humans without night vision, there was a group of dark elves who were very good at assassinations and raids in the dark.
As the time came to around five o'clock in the evening, the group of guys who had been hiding in tents in the woods for a whole day woke up from their sleep, eating the food provided by Amn, and checking He wiped his weapons and armor and waited patiently for nightfall.
Because even the golden sunset in the evening is still too bright and dazzling for them.
Only a handful of individuals who yearn for and long for the light will try to go out, endure the severe physical discomfort, let themselves bathe in the sun, and feel the kind of feeling that can never be felt in the dark place. Light, heat and warmth.
There is no doubt that for these believers of the dark maiden Eilistraee, returning to the surface world has become a strong obsession that cannot be let go.
After all, in the process of migration and escape, they were all hunted down by various traditional dark elf cities and families without exception. They were able to reach the underground area of Dragonspear Castle alive at a price that outsiders could not even imagine.
So whenever there is an opportunity, a small number of dark elves will try to adapt to the new environment so that they can survive in this world with stars and sun like other residents of the surface world.
Looking at the reactions of these compatriots, Kui Lu showed a hint of relief in her eyes, and asked without looking back: "Are our people ready?"
"Of course, noble prophet (Kui Lu is called within the church). As soon as it gets dark, we will cut into the battlefield from the side like the sharpest scimitar, causing unimaginable damage to the enemy."
Another female priest next to her responded without thinking.
It is easy to tell from the proud and confident expression on her face that she is full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of her warriors, mages, warlocks and priests.
You must know that these more than a thousand dark elves can easily kill any underground dwarf or gray dwarf city in the Underdark, or clear out a small beholder nest.
As for the races in the surface world...
Whether they are orcs, gnolls, trolls, or ogres, in their eyes they are just a group of idiots who can only use brute force without any brains.
The largest number of ordinary goblins is the garbage among the garbage.
With sufficient physical strength, a dark elf warrior can easily kill hundreds of goblins without suffering even the slightest injury.
If I had to use one word to describe these dark-skinned, relatively petite humanoid creatures, it would be natural assassins and killers.
Nearly every dark elf learns the skills of stealth and silent movement at a young age.
When they reach adulthood, their attainments in this area will even rival those of many professional thieves.
"Very good!
Remember, this is an opportunity to show strength and sincerity to the allies of the surface world, and it cannot be messed up under any circumstances.
Through this war, the great Dark Maiden We hope to show that we are different from the evil compatriots in the Underdark.
Once we win their trust, we can become a member of the Trade Alliance and be able to enter most cities on the west coast to do business as merchants. , settled.
This is almost unprecedented in the history of Faerûn.”
Kui Lu warned in a serious tone.
As the youngest and most unique of the seven sisters in the North, she could vaguely feel the suspicion, vigilance and distrust of the dark elves from other town representatives and soldiers.
But there is nothing wrong with that.
After all, anyone who has lived in the Northland for a long time will not hate and be afraid of those drow hunting teams that suddenly appear from nowhere, and the ruthless killing and death they bring. Woolen cloth.
The purpose of the dark elves in doing this is not to plunder wealth or capture slaves, but just to please the chaotic and evil spider goddess Rose, and at the same time satisfy their twisted and pathological desire to kill.
Therefore, Kui Lu attaches far more importance to this war than any other party in the coalition, including Zuo Si himself.
"Please rest assured that our warriors' faith in the goddess is unshakable, and they will never take a step back even if they face death." The female priest assured her.
"In this case, let the mages start preparing spells, and the priests start praying to Eilistraee and obtain divine spells.
Tonight will be the day when we wash away the sins of the past The day of renewed glory!
It also marks the moment when the dark elves embrace the light again!
The kind goddess will bless every warrior!
We will win a brilliant victory! "
While saying these words, Kui Lu opened her arms and deliberately amplified her voice so that more compatriots could hear.
Gradually, the confusion in the eyes of the dark elves disappeared. , replaced by a kind of perseverance and courage that looks back upon death.
In the magical land of Faerûn, nothing is more terrifying than the morale boost brought by the blessings of gods and religions.
And almost every larger war must have God's support behind it.
Seeing that her words had had an effect, Kui Lu planned to turn around and leave the camp, going to the distant coalition camp to see the situation.
But before he could take a few steps, he saw a beautiful dark elf girl running towards him.
She immediately stopped and asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Lirael? Why are you here!"
Obviously, the person who came was none other than the one who came to the Underdark last time. During the trip, Lirael Baenre, the little princess of the Baenre family who came to the surface with Zuo Si.
Because she is a mage, this girl has always been affiliated with Luskan Mage Tower, so she should stay in the mage group of the coalition camp.
Lirael raised the dimensional bag in her hand with a grimace, and explained helplessly: "I was sent to deliver magic potions.
There are many strengthening and healing potions here. , which can improve combat effectiveness and reduce casualties.
It has to be said that Soth spent a lot of money this time.
Based on the market price, this bag of medicine alone would probably cost two or three. Millions of gold coins.
I can't believe that he can extend the power of magic to every soldier.
This is such a waste!
In addition, Archmage Jeffrey also said that there are too many arcane casters on the frontal battlefield, and asked me to stay and cooperate with you.
I originally wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of terrifying scene thousands of spellcasters could create when they gathered together. ”
At the end, the little princess of the Banre family was obviously a little aggrieved.
After all, although she had seen many mages and warlocks in her hometown of Menzoberranzan, she had never seen thousands of people gather together like this.
No matter what, in traditional dark elf society, the priestesses of Lolth will always have an overwhelming advantage.
Arcane magic is just a supplement to divine power, and only men of low status can learn it.
The only way out for women, especially noble women, is to go to the Spider Church and become a glorious priestess.
Furthermore, the rules of the dark elf society, which are based on the rule of the weak and the strong, have caused various families to be wary and hostile to each other, and regard each other as hunting targets, making it impossible for them to unite together.
Not to mention bringing a large number of mages and warlocks together to perform joint spellcasting.
Seeing Lirael's cute look, Kui Lu couldn't help but smile slightly, stretched out her hand to stroke Lirael's long silver hair, and comforted her softly: "Okay, don't Complain.
I think the reason why the Archmage arranged this was because of your faith and race.
Don't forget, you are Eilistraee's chosen one. br>
At this time, you should fight side by side with your compatriots. ”
"But I still want to watch the joint casting..."
Lirael pouted and muttered softly.
As one of the very few who did not experience the dark, crazy, and cruel nature of dark elf society when she was a child, she has always been well protected by her chief mage father, so she has a character that other dark elves do not have. Innocence, kindness and willfulness.
Especially when you encounter something or something that interests you, you will always subconsciously want to get involved in it regardless of the cost.
Kui Lu held the girl in her arms, kissed her forehead lovingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we have all arrived on the surface, and we have also joined the trade alliance founded by Soth. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Come on, give me the dimensional bag and let me see what magic potions are in it.”
"Here!"
Lirael obviously liked the wise and peaceful aura of the other party. After passing the dimensional bag in her hand, she buried her face in her soft chest and rubbed it.
“What a naughty little girl.”
Kui Lu tapped the naughty girl lightly with her finger, then opened the bag and inspected it carefully.
You don’t know the result, but you will be shocked when you see it.
I saw that the dimensional bag was densely packed with serious injury potions, antidotes, lesser restoration potions, invisibility potions, bull strength potions, cat grace potions, bear fortitude potions, stone skin potions, and spider walking potions. , energy damage protection potion, mage armor potion...
The variety and quantity are simply dazzling.
Although the general level is not high, it is so luxurious that each of more than a thousand dark elves can equip a complete set.
You must know that strength and physical attributes have always been the disadvantages of dark elves.
But if you drink these strengthening potions, each one of them can transform into the most terrifying and efficient killing machine in minutes.
In addition, there are good things like the potion of freedom of movement that can instantly get rid of all magical constraints and restrictions.
"That's it! He intends for us to achieve the most beautiful and conspicuous result."
Kui Lu is so smart, she guessed Zuo Si's intention at once, and at the same time she also understood that she owed A huge favor.
However, she did not tell the girl in her arms about this matter. Instead, she hid it in her heart and planned to report it to her goddess after the war was over.
……
At the same time, as the agreed time got closer and closer, the originally quiet coalition camp finally began to make some noise.
The soldiers who had had dinner early began to walk out of the main entrance in groups and in an orderly manner, forming formations along the river in the direction of Baldur's Gate.
After a while, they were all lined up and waiting for the signal to start the war.
Especially the Amn New Army in the middle, all equipped with shiny heavy metal armor, the setting sun shining on them immediately reflects a golden light.
This kind of specially-made armor does not even have the slightest gap. It relies entirely on the sealed oil terminal display built into the helmet to obtain information from the outside world. Therefore, orders issued by superiors must be executed 100%.
This also means that they have the most terrifying perfect execution ability in the world.
No matter who it is, if they want to harm or even kill the warriors inside, they must first break the extremely strong magic plate armor. The difficulty is definitely not much easier than knocking down a brick wall.
And the average height of more than two meters and four meters and the strong and strong muscles, as well as the uniform movements and the sense of oppression caused by standing motionless like a sculpture, are both for the enemy and one's own people. An invisible shock.
When these eight thousand people stood on the horizon, the entire battlefield fell into silence.
Even the noisy goblin subconsciously held his breath.
"Damn it! Does this guy Soth want to annihilate us all here? His army is too exaggerated! Especially those armors! The cost of a set is at least tens of thousands of gold coins!"
Fuzoul Chamberry couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Although it is not uncommon in the continent of Faerûn to magically transform your soldiers and equip them with magical weapons and armor.
Many forces with sufficient financial resources and powerful magical power will do it more or less.
But usually, the scale of this kind of elite team that costs a lot of money to build is relatively small, usually only a few dozen to a few hundred people.
It is unprecedented for someone like Zuo Si to suddenly rise to several thousand or even close to ten thousand.
Even when the elves were at their peak, they could only pull out around two thousand elite legions equipped with magic armor and weapons at best.
As for the rest, they still have to wear chain armor without any enchantment, and hold ordinary swords and crossbows.
There is no doubt that this overwhelming gap in wealth and power makes Fu Zouer Chambery feel very hurt.
At this moment, he finally understood why Zuo Si had no reaction at all to his plundering the wealth and resources of Baldur's Gate and West Heartland.
It's not that the other party didn't react, it's that he didn't care about the scraps at all, and just let him plunder it like a beggar.
"Then... do we still have to go out of the city to fight?"
A senior officer from Zhentil Castle and a dark guard from the church of Bane, the god of tyranny, asked cautiously. .
Fuzuoer Qianberry glared at the other party angrily and asked: "If you don't go out, do you think we can defend it with the strength we have?
Raise your head Look at the dragons in the sky and the riders on their backs!
When these guys start swooping down and attacking, the walls do nothing.
And don’t forget, the opponent has a lot of arcane spell casters.
If Thorth is angered, he might raze us and Baldur's Gate to the ground.
Go and inform everyone that we will also leave the city and form an array in ten minutes.
Remember to put the temporarily recruited monsters at the front of the queue and our own people at the back.
As soon as it gets dark, we get on the boat and run eastward along the river. "
" Got it! "
The Dark Guard immediately understood and turned around to convey the order to other subordinate commanders.
About seven or eight minutes, the originally closed door of Baldur's Gate opened with a bang.< br>
The tens of thousands of monsters from Zhentil Castle filed out from the entrance of the Dragon Bridge and marched forward for almost two thousand meters before stopping and slowly unfolding
<. br>
Since the Chongsa River near Baldur's Gate almost looks like a large plain without any undulations or obstructions, it is very suitable as a battlefield for large-scale battles.
According to the usual practice, before the battle started, Zuo Si, on behalf of the coalition forces, met with Fuzuo Er Chambery in front of the battle.
As soon as the latter met, he asked directly: "How many people can I take with me tonight?"
"No more than two thousand. After all, if there are too many people running away, I will not be able to tell others The town representative explained.”
Zuo Si gave an exact number very simply.
Through Xi Manmeng, the mole, he already knew that the other party had sent away almost two to three thousand people in advance.
Coupled with the garrisons left in several coastal port cities, there are almost four to five thousand people.
So giving about two thousand places is enough for the other side to start a war to unify the Moon Sea.
Fuzuoer Chamberry nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand. You won't block the river, and you won't let those dragon knights chase me, right?"
Zuo Si smiled and replied: "Of course not. My main target is those monsters. As long as I kill them all, this area should be stable under my rule for a few years. Oh, by the way, remember to take those monsters Leave all the dragons to me.”
"You don't need to remind me about this, I will stay here. After all, if they are still alive, they will definitely come to trouble me afterwards. I don't want to be pestered by a few vengeful black or green dragons all day long."
After saying this, Fuzuoer Qianberry turned around and returned to his military formation.
I am afraid no one will know that these two seemingly irreconcilable enemies have actually already reached a deal in private. As for the war, it is just a formality.
Especially in Zhentil Castle, a large number of monsters were recruited who had no idea that they had been sold at a good price, and were still desperately trying to boost their morale and try to defeat the powerful enemy in front of them. Continue the glorious results.
After returning to the coalition command center, Alustriel immediately couldn't help but ask: "What did Fuzoul Chamberry tell you?"
"It's nothing, just some nutritious food. It's just nonsense. After all, winning a war relies on hard power, and other tactics, strategies and other skills are just additions to this foundation," Zuo Si answered in a sloppy way.
"That's right. No matter in terms of the size of the army, the quality of the soldiers, or the number of spellcasters, we have a steady hold on the opponent, and winning is just a matter of time."
Alas Zhuo Shen nodded in agreement.
As the Lord of Silvermoon City and the leader of the entire Silvermoon Alliance, she has faced tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of orcs roaring from the north more than once, and she has long been accustomed to being on the disadvantaged side. To think about how to win.
But now, take a look at this huge coalition composed of almost all the towns on the west coast, as well as a group of terrifying mages with more than a thousand people and several legendary spellcasters.
Lost?
Tell me how to lose with this lineup!
You can definitely win by pushing directly!
General Taylor, who came on behalf of Shane VII, took the initiative to stand up and ask for a fight: "Honorable Lord Soth, please allow me to lead three thousand camel cavalry to attack and give those guys in Zhentil Castle a little Look at the color.”
You don't need to ask to know that these three thousand camel cavalry are the reinforcements sent by Shane VII. They are also the most powerful and deterrent among the conventional military forces of the Southern Kalingshan.
Although camels look stupid and bulky, as if they are only suitable for transportation.
But they are much stronger than horses in terms of load-bearing capacity, physical strength, endurance of harsh environments, and sprinting speed (a camel can sprint at a speed of seventy-five kilometers per hour, and a horse can The maximum speed is 60 kilometers to 65 kilometers per hour).
The most important thing is that camels are more suitable for desert terrain.
In addition, the back of a camel is much higher than that of a horse. For battles between knights, height itself is a huge advantage.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Kalin Shirt Camel Cavalry has always been quite famous.
Most knights will be equipped with scale armor, a bow, two bags of arrows, a cavalry lance, a shield, and a scimitar.
By the way, some of the heavily armored camels are also armored, and their collision capabilities are far better than ordinary heavy cavalry.
"Haha, don't worry, general, the game has just begun. Let's see how Fuzuo Er Qianberry will move first."
Zuo Si smiled politely. Rejecting the general's proposal, he raised his hand and waved to Vera, who was the representative of the six-person Council of Amn.
The latter was wearing a women's armor with powerful magical effects today. She looked quite heroic. A long sword exuding necromancy magic was hanging on her waist, and her eyes were shining with excitement and anticipation. .
Obviously, this woman who is eager to prove herself likes war, and even more likes the praise and cheers that come after winning a war.
No hesitation!
Vera came straight forward and put one hand on her chest and bowed: "Your Excellency, do you have any instructions?"
"If I remember correctly, you have always wanted to You want a chance to prove yourself, right?”
Zuo Si stared into the eyes of the young woman in front of him and asked meaningfully.
In an instant!
Vera seemed to realize something. She suddenly raised her head and replied in an excited tone: "Yes! I have always been eager to have a chance to prove myself! If you are willing to give it to me, I swear that I will I will always be loyal to you and never betray you."
"Very good! Then I will hand over the command of the coalition to you now and let you realize your ideals and wishes. Remember, don't let me down. Otherwise, you will never get another chance like this again.”
After that, Zuo Si held the scepter in his hand that symbolized the supreme command in front of countless looks that were either shocked or incomprehensible. Passed it over.
"I swear on my life and honor that I will never disappoint you."
Vera knelt down on one knee and solemnly took the scepter, a flash of light bursting out of her pupils.
There is no doubt that this is a huge unexpected surprise for her.
Because as the last direct member of the Salem Quante family, Vera obviously has no experience in leading troops in war.
Although she read many books and notes on this subject, and even commanded her family soldiers to fight in a few small-scale battles, in a war involving thousands or even tens of thousands, it was basically child's play. almost.
In Vera's understanding, if she wants to gain command of a battle, she must first become the commander of an army of a thousand people, and then lead this army to win several battles against monsters or enemies. .
Prove that you have talents and abilities in this area through military exploits.
But now, Zuo Si suddenly handed over the command of an army of tens of thousands of people to herself, which made her feel flattered and even felt inexplicably moved.
Watching this interesting woman turn and leave, Alustriel couldn't help but question: "Are you crazy? You actually gave the command of the army to someone who has never had similar experience. Newcomer!”
“Why do you say that?”
Zuo Si asked in reply with an innocent look and a shrug.
"This Miss Vera should be the last heir of the Salem Quant family, right? If I remember correctly, she seems to have a very close relationship with the massacre of her family?" Alustriel He narrowed his eyes and tried.
As a queen with extremely high political sensitivity, she can smell the conspiracy even if she doesn't know much about the inside story.
Zuo Si nodded calmly: "Yes, that is the most shocking case that has happened in Amn since the founding of the country.
You must know that the Salem Quante family But the uncrowned king of Amn is second to none in the six-person council in terms of wealth, political prestige, and magical power.
It's a pity that Selzer Salem is not satisfied with this and wants more.
As a result, he transformed himself into a vampire, which ultimately triggered this catastrophic tragedy.
But fortunately, everything was a civil strife within the Salem Quante family and did not affect the civilian class, so the impact was not too great. "
"So... Miss Vera, who survived, chose to rely on you to maintain the power and status of her family? "Alustriel continued to ask.
"Is this strange? Don’t forget, I am the most powerful in the entire Askatra, and I am naturally capable of ensuring her own safety and the political status of my family. ”
Zuo Si responded in the affirmative as a matter of course.
Although Alustriel did not believe a word of his remarks, he could not produce any substantive evidence.
The most important thing is that this matter is Amn's internal affairs.
Even the six-person council has given the decision, so outsiders naturally have no qualifications to interfere.
It’s just that the Queen of Silvermoon City always felt that as soon as something happened to the Salem Quante family, Vera defected to Zuo Si, and then helped him play a vital role in seizing power.
This is a typical political struggle no matter how you look at it.
Just when she was trying to figure out the truth behind the whole thing, the two sides who had formed their formation finally started.
The first to attack was Zhentil Castle.
Fuzor Chamberry released all the goblins at once and launched a suicide charge like a tide.
Behind them are the gnolls who are responsible for holding down the formation. Behind the gnolls is the main force composed of ogres, giants and trolls.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby!!!"
"Come on! Kill all these humans!"
"I want more flesh and blood!"
...
Accompanied by random shouts in goblin language, this group of green-skinned little monsters rushed madly towards the heavily armored warrior who was twice as tall as themselves.
They held lighted homemade torches, alchemical explosives and grease-like jars in one hand, and sharp knives or daggers in the other hand, intending to rush forward and set fire to the weeds and shrubs on the ground first, and then Then take advantage of the chaos to insert into the square formation to cut the ligaments on the enemy's legs.
Despite the fact that goblins are small and thin, their overall threat level is not high.
But in fact they are out-and-out masters of arson and experts in creating chaos.
Before this, Fu Zouer Chambery had used these cannon fodder to disperse many urban armies that were not highly organized and disciplined.
So he planned to repeat his old tricks this time to see if these little monsters could create miracles again.
But unfortunately, before the goblins could rush forward, the crossbowmen at the rear took the lead and used compound bows with pulleys to shoot a large rain of arrows that could cover the battlefield, and they fired four rounds in one go. .
The black mass of sharp arrows falling from the sky instantly nailed thousands of goblins on their way forward.
Since there is no decent armor or shield at all, the goblins' protection against arrows is almost zero.
They fell down one after another like wheat, and even a no-man's land full of dead bodies appeared.
In fact, those who were shot to death on the spot were relatively lucky.
The most unlucky thing was that his body was penetrated, but he missed the vital point. He lay there screaming and wailing hysterically, trying to pull the arrow out of his body, but he couldn't use the strength.
In the end, I could only feel my body getting colder and my consciousness getting blurry little by little in pain and despair, until I breathed my last breath.
However, this efficient death did not scare the goblins who had been brainwashed and controlled, and they continued to charge forward.
Because they have been clearly told that if they dare to turn around and escape, the gnolls, ogres, and trolls behind will be very happy to eat them as snacks.
Rather than being eaten alive, the goblins would obviously prefer to die on the road to charge.
"Damn! I have never seen such desperate goblins in my life! Are they really goblins?"
A commander of the archer phalanx couldn't help but cursed through gritted teeth.
Because just as the shooters finished the continuous shooting and were resting and relieving muscle fatigue, hundreds of goblins rushed forward, trying to wave the explosives and flammable materials in their hands. Ignite these human beings wrapped in iron cans in front of you.
But in the last twenty or thirty meters, a group of dwarfs wearing light mail armor suddenly came out, holding thick iron rods and taking aim.
The next second...
Bang bang bang bang bang -
With a crisp sound and white smoke, lead projectiles that are indistinguishable to the naked eye are ejected from these alchemical muskets carefully crafted by craftsmen.
In an instant, the bodies of one or two hundred goblins flew backwards uncontrollably, and dazzling bright red blood spurted out from their chests, heads and other locations.
You don’t need to ask to know that these dwarf musketeers are the musketeer troops supported on Lantan Island.
Although their number is small, they can often exert amazing power when dealing with enemies who do not have magic.
Especially lead projectiles can easily penetrate leather and mail armor at close range.
Not to mention small creatures like goblins, even the gnolls behind them cannot bear it.
After one round of shooting, the gnomes quickly retreated to reload their ammunition.
The plate armor warriors of the new army of Amn unanimously raised a large shield as high as a person, picked up a heavy war hammer with the other hand, and began to move forward in formation.
Boom! boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by the sound of heavy and uniform footsteps, they finally came into close contact with the goblins.
Then...
Then there was a bloody massacre!
When dealing with these little monsters without any armor, the soldiers who were over two meters tall did not even use warhammers. They just relied on the impact of their shields and the terrifying trampling of steel boots under their feet. It's enough to send the other person home instantly.
When the last wave of goblins were all dead, the originally shiny silver steel boots under their feet had been stained red with blood, and the land they walked on was densely covered with mutilated corpses and meat paste. .
Yes!
It’s meat sauce!
The kind of sticky substance that is mixed with soil, weeds and stones and cannot be distinguished from each other.
The pungent smell of blood made many town representatives who had never seen such a scene subconsciously cover their mouths.
But immediately afterwards, a scene that made them even more frightened took place.
When these super heavy infantry collided with jackals, every time they swung their war hammers, they would directly smash the opponent's head into a red and white paste, or simply dent their chest.
A jackal with red eyes tried to open his mouth and bite the opponent's arm. As a result, his teeth got stuck in the gaps in the body plate armor and could not be pulled out. A heavily armored warrior pinched his neck and tore his entire body. The head and spine were pulled out of the body and thrown into the air.
The killings filled with the most primitive brutality and violence immediately stopped the breathing of many people.
Because they know that these tall and strong human soldiers who have been strengthened by magic will definitely have amazing power.
But I never expected it to be so amazing.
This has completely surpassed the ogres, and is even more terrifying than the trolls and most giants.
And the soldiers' emotions never seem to have any ups and downs, just like the mechanical constructs, they are simply executing the orders given by the commander.
When they are asked to move forward, they will move forward without hesitation, even if there is a man-eating monster taller than themselves standing in front of them;
When they are asked to retreat, even if It can kill an enemy immediately and will stop without hesitation and retreat immediately.
Such an appalling obedience and discipline, not to mention all the forces within the coalition were dumbfounded, even Fu Zouer Chambery drooled with envy and hatred.
He swore that he would only give him two thousand soldiers like him!
No, a thousand or five hundred people will do.
It can definitely sweep across the entire Moon Sea and drive out all the forces that are unwilling to surrender to Zhentil Castle.
This is the most perfect soldier in the eyes of Bane, the great god of tyranny, and the most powerful assistant and tool for the tyrant to enforce his rule.
Just when the Tyrant of the Moon Sea was obsessed with the astonishing combat effectiveness of Amn’s new army, a priest nearby couldn’t help but remind him: “If you don’t do something, our front may be in danger. Killed through.”
"Send all the cavalry out to attack from the flanks. Be careful not to be too eager to fight. If you are harassed, turn around and retreat immediately. I can see that the biggest disadvantage of these heavy armored infantry is their movement speed."
Fu Zuo Chamberlain quickly made adjustments.
Although trolls, ogres and giants can fight these heavily armored soldiers to a certain extent.
But the problem is that the opponent has a large number of priests who release magical spells to continuously heal.
But in order to facilitate his escape, he did not send the priests of Benn Church to the front line. He only blessed them with some long-lasting buffing spells and then left them on the battlefield.
"Understood!"
The priest nodded vigorously and immediately turned around to give orders to the hobgoblin wolf cavalry who was standing by.
After a while, accompanied by the howls of wargs, the wolf cavalry finally appeared on both wings.
If you look carefully, you can also find that there are a few white figures vaguely visible among the wargs.
You don’t need to ask to know that it is the winter wolf that can spit out biting and freezing cold air.
Woo——Woo——Woo——
The leader of the hobgoblin warlord blew a low horn, and then began to circle around from the side, hoping to target the weak points of the infantry phalanx and launch a charge.
But before he could find the weak point, there was a slight tremor on the ground, followed by a deafening loud noise from the distance.
Looking up, a group of heavily armored cavalry, covered in plate armor and shaped like giant four-legged dinosaurs, began to charge.
Following them were camel cavalry from the Shaan Empire in the south, and heavy armored knights from Silvermoon City.
The overwhelming charge instantly made the hobgoblins turn pale. The cunning wargs and winter wolves under their crotches didn't even think about it, and immediately turned around and fled towards the nearby woods.
After all, they are not domestic animals with low IQs such as horses and camels, but magical creatures with an average intelligence of over 10 points, the same as humans.
Expect winter wolves and wargs to launch a charge knowing that they will die?
Stop it!
As soon as they sense that something is not going well, they will immediately choose to run away.
When necessary, he would lift the knight off his back and use it as a bait to delay the enemy's pursuit.
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die a poor Taoist.
Facts have proved that sometimes a mount that is too smart may not be a good thing...
