Chapter 173 Sneak Attack and Assassination
The exclamation of the ordering soldier made Xu Lai instinctively look to the rear. However, at this time, the city head behind was completely bare, and there were no flags anywhere.
Fortunately, everyone was fighting at the front at this time, and except for a few messengers, no one was looking behind them.
At this time, Pierce roared at the messenger knight: "What are you making all the fuss about? We will engage the enemy immediately and prepare to fight!"
Xu Lai admired Pierce very much, and the flag he commanded Even though he fell down, he could still be so calm and know how to control the source of the information. If this was left to Xu Lai, he would probably panic immediately.
Pierce over there obviously knew that Xu Lai was also his first brother on the battlefield. He was less than a thousand meters away from Beamon. He did not forget to comfort Xu Lai and said:
"Don't worry, commander, everything is planned." Nothing will happen here!”
When Talosi in the base camp used the treasure looking glass to see the flag falling on the top of the human city, he burst into laughter.
After laughing, Talosi shouted: "Open all the city gates and order all generals and reserve troops to dispatch. Let's take this opportunity to sweep over and seize the human race's fortress!"
A broken command flag cannot be hidden for long even if no one yells at Xu Lai on the battlefield that day, other panicked soldiers will spread the word, and a decline in morale is inevitable.
Fortunately, the morale of Xu Lai and the others has not been greatly affected, and they still maintain a high morale state of over 75 points.
Pierce waved his hand, and the golden shield representing invincibility appeared again on Xu Lai and his guards.
In addition to the golden shield on Pierce, there is also a golden flame on the lance. This is one of Paladin Walker's signature skills, Judgment, and Xu Lai was lucky enough to enjoy it when he was training.
But what Pierce uses is no longer a single judgment, but a group judgment.
Judge the guilty, and the defense will be weakened. Attack the guilty, and you will be restored. The deeper the power of sin, the more the defense will drop, and the higher the health the attacker will recover.
The so-called guilt and innocence are, of course, the still-used human judgment standards, to be precise, the standards set by the God of War.
Under such standards, these Behemoths who have killed countless human lives are undoubtedly guilty.
The charge brought a terrifying speed bonus, and Xu Lai's lance and Beamon's big claws collided with each other.
The heavy lance that was picked up directly blasted through one of Beamon's arms, and Xu Lai flew out together with the man and the horse.
Fortunately, under the influence of the Holy Light, Xu Lai and the war horse under his crotch were not injured. However, the Holy Light could protect their lives, but it could not help them resist the powerful force.
The Behemoth was then rushed to death by Xu Lai's guards, and when it caught up with the team again, it had long since lost the blessing of invincibility.
At the end of the charge, the Temple Knights killed more than 60 Behemoths, seriously injured more, and accidentally injured more than a dozen knights themselves.
Except for a few of these dozen knights who were unlucky enough to have their heads scratched by Beamon's claw, the rest were actually only seriously injured.
However, once you fall down during the charge, there is almost no chance to stand up again.
The one who leads the charge is the invincible paladin. Otherwise, in this round of charge, all the knights in the front row will be trampled to death.
But being invincible can only save one life. When the troops charge and rejoin, everyone is just like Xu Lai, no longer carrying a sacred shield.
However, the charge just now restored some morale. After all, more than a hundred huge Behemoths fell.
The knights on the other side are even more luxurious than Xu Lai and the others. Almost all the remaining 3,000 knights are here. But after a wave of charges, more than 100 Beamon fell, and they themselves More than 500 knights were gone.
Thanks to the fact that the two knights were in the south and north, they could not see each other and had no influence on each other.
Pierce knew that it would be difficult to kill these high-level Behemoths just by relying on the knights’ normal attacks.
Therefore, after one round of charge, he did not stop and directly led his troops away again. After establishing a suitable distance, he began to charge a second time.
The Behemoths ignored them at all. Although Behemoth was fast, they could not catch up with the charging knights.
At this time, they were raising their big hands and frantically harvesting the lives of the infantry. The spears of the heavy armored spearmen were like needle pricks on the bodies of these Behemoths.
Although the needles will hurt if they are pricked, and if they are pricked too much, they will die, but with three, four, five or six needles pricking them, it will not be possible to kill these terrifying beasts for a while.
Xu Lai's face looked very ugly. The life and death of the command headquarters were unknown. The frontal battlefield, which had an advantage, was now trapped in a tangled situation.
By this point in the battle, more than half of the orcs' wolf cavalry and Beamon had been lost, not to mention the orc warriors and ogres who had entered the battlefield early.
But there are not many of humanity's two most important infantry regiments left. The militia and low-level infantry in the rear are expected to collapse upon contact.
In this way, the only remaining troops that humans can fight are the archers and crossbowmen. However, the orcs opened the city gate wide at this time, and all the reserve troops and horses came out, and even thousands of them appeared. Cyclops holding boulders high.
Compared to humans, Cyclops is certainly a giant, but compared to Behemoth, it is slightly shorter than a head.
But no matter what, these are giant creatures, and their appearance has the effect of damaging morale.
With such an optimistic situation, it's strange that Xu Lai's face looks good. But no matter whether he looks good or not, he is just a little knight who provides buffs. With his personal power, he is unable to have much impact on the battle situation.
Taking a long breath, Xu Lai gathered his thoughts, followed Pierce and others in a large circle, and attacked the Behemoths from behind.
Most of these Behemoths are recruited Behemoths and have no thinking ability of their own.
Xu Lai is already familiar with these types of creatures. They do not solve threats like real creatures.
Take these Behemoths as an example. He can kill three or five heavy armored spearmen or heavy shield infantry with one slap.
But when he turned around to attack the knights behind him, not only might he not be able to kill these level 6 and level 7 heavy armored knights with one slap, but he himself would also lose a few seconds to output because of turning around, and he would also suffer the damage he deserved. It will still not be reduced.
Therefore, their logical judgment is to eliminate the infantry in front of them first and cause maximum damage to the enemy.
It’s hard to say what’s wrong with this logic. Anyway, this logic is very beneficial to Xu Lai and the others.
If there is no head-on collision, the damage bonus brought by Xu Lai's charge can be fully output without any loss, and they will not be in danger.
Under the new vanguard flag, heavy lances stabbed into Beamon's body with damage that ignored defense.
Charging again, Xu Lai felt that he had hit a hard wall, and it was difficult to hold the heavy lance in his hand.
The battlefield ahead was extremely anxious, and the morale of both sides was getting lower and lower. With the appearance of a large number of Behemoth casualties, the orc troops that had finally boosted their morale were weakened again.
As for the human warriors, they no longer had the same feeling of high morale as before. They only felt more tired and exhausted the more they fought, and the more they fought, the less confident they felt.
The shooters filled their ammunition mechanically, but they were unable to support the anxious front line. Under the leadership of Dill Rogers, they attacked the flying troops of mages, priests, and priests from the rear.
Thoros and his mages set up a physical immunity barrier, temporarily blocking Dapeng's crazy attack.
The priests have begun to transform, each one is covered in golden light, and their weapons, armors, and attributes are basically in place.
The priests no longer healed, but used their only damage spells to constantly punish the roc in the sky.
It is clear that the barrier of things is about to be broken, but Thoros’s eyes do not fall on the roc above his head, but on the direction of the city head covered by the roc, where the outcome of this battle will be determined. key position.
A few minutes ago, several flags waving at the top of the city were suddenly hit by several rays of sword light, and all the flags fell down without exception.
The swordsman waving the flag was just about to look for a spare flag when the orc sword master, whose figure was revealed due to the sword, smiled ferociously and raised the sword in his hand.
Juggernaut is a reputation for those who have achieved the ultimate in swordsmanship. There are not many people who can win this honor. Humans, orcs and Nagas all have sword masters.
But the human sword masters are only at level 7, while the orc and Naga sword masters are all at level eight.
With a quick step of wind, he drew his sword and slashed. The beast sword master used two swords, one to cut off the flag, and the other to kill the owl. It was so terrifying.
In addition to the Orc Sword Master, he was also followed by more than a dozen orc level 7 sword dancers and no less than a hundred orc swordsmen.
Count Aini narrowed his eyes and said: "The city gate has been closed for a long time. How did you climb up without alerting the guards?"
Even with Wind Step, the Orc Sword Master cannot do it in broad daylight. Next, he climbed up to the top of the city full of guards, not to mention that the sword master also brought so many sword dancers and swordsmen.
The Orc Sword Master pointed his sword slantingly, and said with a ferocious smile: "I have no habit of explaining to the dead, go to hell, human!"
As soon as the words fell, in the void Countless crossbow arrows were fired, targeting these exposed orcs.
With the appearance of these crossbow arrows, nearly a thousand men in black suddenly appeared on the city wall where there were originally only a few hundred royal guards and captains of guards.
Each of these men in black holds a crossbow in their hands. The crossbow uses continuous rounds of ammunition and can be fired continuously when the trigger is pulled.
"This, how is this possible?"
Earl Aini smiled coldly and said: "You are the only orcs with brains full of muscles who are still plotting. You don't know the whole story. Are the most skilled hunters in the mainland trained by humans? "
The Beast Sword Master glanced at the approaching Thunderbird army, sneered and shouted: "Blade Storm!"< br>
The Sword Dancer and the Sword Master waved their swords together, and each crossbow arrow was blown away by the whirlwind-like swords. Few of them could hurt them.
What's even more frightening is that this blade storm is so powerful that the assassination master within two or three meters has almost no ability to resist and will be torn to pieces by the blade in an instant.
Aini waved his hand, and the chief guard shouted: "Shield wall!"
The densely packed royal guards immediately built two shield walls with their shields, and surrounded Aini. As well as the protagonist Duer and other senior officials gathered around.
