The Amber Sword: Act 219 The Battle of the River Bank (3)
The 219th Battle on the Riverbank (3)
fire arrows burns as soon as it touches the trees. The water in the trees evaporates and immediately forms a billowing smoke. The Gelushi infantry and mountain people warrior wearing grey-green shirts take the opportunity to hide in, and it seems that they will cross the shoal to enter the forest here. In. The attack went so incredible that even Pallas, who oversees the battlefield in the distance, couldn't help raising his brow slightly.
But at this time Correct, there was a muffled thunder in the distant forest. A large cloud gathered at the speed visible to the naked eye above the treetop layer, and then accompanied by a golden lightning, the sudden heavy rain poured down. It was almost instantaneous that the fire just ignited was transparent.
As soon as the fire went out, the thunderstorm continued to extend forward. Several lightnings fell on the beach head on the edge of the forest. It just exploded among the Gelushi infantry and mountain people warrior gathered there. There was a loud noise. Flying horizontally. The golden Thunder Ball opened several large pits on the ground. The stones that were blown up and fell like hail fell on the heads of the people around them, and the for a moment screamed into pieces.
Gelushi The infantry's morale collapsed instantly, no matter if there was an archer behind them, they turned around and ran, ten times faster than when they came. These noble personal soldiers did not have any fighting Will. Although the accompanying mountain people warrior itself was tough, it was a pity that the war was meaningless to them. As soon as the Gelushi infantry retreated, they naturally followed their U-turn and left. However, compared with the Gelushi infantry who was frightened and smashed by already, the mountain people gathered even if they retreated, appearing systematic.
The two Knight-Thanes accompanied by Pallas in the distance saw this scene and looked back at the real commander of the Radnor army this time. The literacy of mountain people surprised them, and then they thought that they led the army all year round with these The Pallas who won in the mountain people war and persecuted his surrender, the two remained silent. Of course, they are not willing to submit to the Pallas, but looking at the performance of their army, they can only be silent.
At this time, the dark clouds already crossed the top of the Gelushi infantry and reached the array of archers on the other side of the river bank. A kind of distress suddenly felt at this moment in the archer's queue of commander Wiggins. "Retreat! Retreat!" He screamed immediately, but he was still one step slower, and saw a golden power grid descend from the sky. The archers exploded, almost in a blink of an eye. The noble archers, who had been trained for a long time, immediately died out.
Sir Wiggins was also struck by lightning himself, but he was saved by the electric cage effect when he was covered with battle armour all over his body, but the lieutenant next to him was not so lucky and was directly beaten into coke. The grey-faced Wiggins got up from the ground and couldn't help feeling sadness. The entire archer of the squadron was destroyed in a single strike. Although the real loss was only two or three, the remaining people Already frightened, don't even think about going into combat anymore.
Not to mention that at this time the dark clouds that gave birth to thunder are still surging, and it seems that the second round of lightning will come down. The archers suddenly collapsed like the infantry in front of them. They screamed and turned and ran. Mortals have no ability to resist in the presence of such a powerful natural force. The knowledgeable and ample experience Knight under Pallas may be slightly better. But it will never be these noble personal soldiers.
But at this time, Correct, a large number of chants suddenly heard in the forest. The cursing curse seemed to gather an invisible force in the air, and even the air pressure for a moment decreased by a few points. Suddenly, the dark clouds in the air suddenly disappeared, and then the clouds disappeared in a blink of an eye.
At first there was silence in the forest, and then there was a cheer on the north bank of the Gris.
"It's Dispel Magic, there are at least three singing points." Brando, a Druid covered with turf all over his body, turned his head and said after listening.
"No, it's four." Ciel shook his head after listening.
"Four?" Others dare not refute. The first batch of Druids sent to Fir Tree Shire did not have High Druid existence. Ciel can be said to be the first person here spellcaster. And high-level spellcaster is rare and rare, it is said that there are two Gold rank wizard around Radnor, but this time may not have one.
"If you have four wizards here, you ca n’t say that there are only four. Unfortunately, I do n’t know how many there are. The intelligence said that Pallas' Wizard Corps may be more than thirty people, including Silver rank and spellcaster. So it seems very likely . "Kalun replied.
He is here mercenary Nominal Commander And more reliable Fern Assigned to assist command Those eight hundred Troglodyte Army. Other than that Brando Also ordered ‘ Red Copper Dragon ’ Leto and the others instead Jutta of Mercenary Company in silver mine Stationed because Count of Radnor I don't know yet silver mine already Lost, so Brando Pin on Leto There can be some unexpected surprises for him, which is a danger quest / mission ,and Leto and the others As November War Veterans are obviously better than Jutta Subordinate mercenary More competent quest / mission .
As for Jutta, already was transferred back to the front line against the Radnor army. She is also very satisfied with this arrangement. The red-haired beautiful female Mercenary leader is standing next to Medissa at the moment and asks one's own: "Where can there be so many Wizard from an Pallas? Even Pallas is at the front line of war all year round Maybe. "
"Don't forget that there are Gelushi collar and Grizzly Bear Shire, but I think Count of Radnor has also drawn some people from one's own Wizard Corps, otherwise it is impossible to have wizard of Silver rank." Kalun answered.
"Thirty people, speaking of Wizard Corps with more than thirty people, Aouine has not been seen since November War, Count of Radnor has spared no effort to deter 'Evildoer'!" Since Rydenburg, he has followed Brando's Patrol Cavalry Captain Ulliel and could not help but ridicule. As a half noble, he knew very well the big and small wars that happened in the past of Aouine.
The words of Ulliel made everyone present smile. The spellcaster on their side is more than one hundred Druid, not to mention the young Thane's Wizard attendant in front of them is Gold rank wizard of genuine.
Speaking of which, the young Thane has not many troops, but the quality is incredible. -- ordinary soldiers are either veteran mercenary or November War veterans, at least they are Aouine legion soldiers who originally played against Madara. Few of these people have strengths below Black Iron, and even a considerable part of them are above mid Black Iron rank and --. In addition, there is a army composed of Troglodyte. The individual strength of this army is at least high Black Iron rank, and the peak of Black Iron is not a minority.
The two armies together are close to 3,000, and the proportion of Wizard accounts for more than one tenth of this army. This is extremely rare in the entire Aouine's war history. It is simply It's incredible. If these news are spread, it is estimated that the outside world will be in an uproar, and the new Thane's strength of this Trentheim will have to be re-evaluated. But Brando deliberately suppressed these news, because he knew that sometimes a surprise is more impressive than an established fact.
youngster this time is to make the entire Aouine remember his name, and who is Trentheim's well-known Thane.
Ulliel's words have dispelled a lot of shame in the hearts of everyone, as if the army of Radnor in the forest is not so terrible. However, Ciel still had to give them a shot. He waved his hand: "Although that said, the other party still beat us a lot in absolute strength. Radnor claims to be three Knight-Thane leaders and 20,000 troops, and mountain people There are almost 10,000 people, which means that the army -- hidden in the forest in front of us "
Ciel pointed seriously ahead, north of the Gris River: "Maybe thirty times more than us."
The crowds are back again, which they have known for a long time.
"In addition, the three Knight men have elite Knight, which adds up to at least a hundred, maybe even more. These Knight also have at least the strength of Silver rank, and we just lack such a force. Troglodyte can be with them Hit it, but Lord Thane made it very clear. As long as Madara does not appear on the battlefield, Troglodyte cannot appear. So in terms of combat power of Silver rank, the opposite is also dominant.
"Besides, in addition to Pallas, the other party ’s Grizzly Bear Shire Knight-Thane and Gelushi Knight are the gold power of Radnor, and it is difficult to guarantee that the other party does not have a hidden trump card -- back 10,000 steps. Even if there are only two Gold rank, confront me and Medissa can only be said to be a tie. If there is a third, we are still at a disadvantage.
"What shall we do?" said Ciel, and Marlens couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.
"it doesn't matter, just follow the instructions of Lord Thane's." Ciel glanced at everyone present.
"Lord Thane's words?"
Brando has said that they should try to delay the time of the Radnor army crossing the river here, but at that time the army of Radnor was not as scary as it is now. That's a whole three Knight-Thane, plus mountain people's army of nearly 30,000 people, let alone Madara's undead.
Brando had promised them victory, but after all, it was once, can they still win now?
Although most people who have followed youngster have an almost blind trust in Brando's, the young Thane's promised victory has hardly been missed. As long as he moves forward, the direction of his sword must be the same. The road to victory. That young Thane is like the most legendary heroes of ancient times. When he proudly declared that he would win, then victory was his thing.
But at this moment, everyone present couldn't help but be silent.
They are battle-hardened warrior. They can talk and laugh in the most dangerous environment, but this does not mean that they have less roots. In their original self-confidence, the Radnor army was exhausted to the maximum. Retreating is the only possibility to win. But it has to pay a terrible price on both sides.
As a warrior, this is not unacceptable, because their already swore allegiance to the young Thane, and everyone was ready to bleed.
But the promise that Brando gave them seems to be a complete defeat of Radnor from the front.
How is this possible?
Druids takes for granted that Ciel is only for Invigorate morale. While having seen the magical Jutta and Kalun of Brando, they had some headaches. After exhausting their brains, they couldn't think of what Brando would rely on to achieve this victory.
But facing these various gazes, Ciel just looked at Medissa and smiled. Indeed, because the upheaval in Faithwind Circle will soon spread throughout the entire Aouine, and even the entire Vaunde.
Everyone will remember this battle.
The young Wizard raises head, his eyes fell on the dark forest north of the Gris River, but unfortunately, at this moment Pallas did not feel the gaze across the distant distance. The elderly Knight-Thane is counting the casualties. The Gelushi did not lose much. The infantry in front of the charge only lost more than a dozen corpses, but even the enemy ’s face had not seen the entire squadron ’s archer exited. The fighting made him feel a little heartache.
Although he has more than 20,000 troops this time, there are not many professional soldiers. Such noble archers only have more than 1,000 one and a half brigade. A large part of this is Count from Radnor Shire. Private soldiers, if he loses too much, he is not good at dealing with each other.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back and ask, "The kind of thunder and lightning was just spell of Druid? Can Druid of Black Iron rank perform such terrible spell?"
The Wizard around him nodded: "That's Call Thunder spell, but one or two Druid shows not so terrible. The spell just showed up with at least ten people at the same time. And at least after the performance of Black Iron rank It takes a day off. But if it is a master of Druid, then another story ... "
If the old Knight interrupts wizard, he still believes that there cannot be a master Druid in the rebels: "That is to say, the other party can't continuously perform the kind of spell?"
"Lord Thane, even if it is continuously displayed, you don't need to be afraid. Compared to them, it takes ten people to jointly perform that spell, but we only need two or three people for Dispel Magic. And that spell is very expensive for Black Iron rank However, Dispel Magic is just average for us. Magic is actually more useful for defense than offense. If I am the opponent, I am afraid that I will not use the spell. Before that, they should just be It's just for deterrence, "wizard replied bowing respectfully.
Pallas nodded, as long as it is not that wide range of spell, he need not worry much. The difference in military strength between the two sides is too big, and he does not need any extra strategies. Besides, the expenses of the 20,000 army are too large. Pallas didn't want to waste time. He planned to end the war in a straightforward way from the beginning.
As long as you cross the Gris River, it takes only a few days to win the fir.
It is within his acceptance to end the war within a week.
"Rebel, Aouine ..." These two words circled in Pallas's mind, but in the end all the contemplation turned into a confident smile on the face. As a general who accepted the victory of countless times, he had no reason to believe that he would fail under absolute superiority.
The old Knight smiled faintly. This smile represented the compassion for the enemy and the sigh for this kingdom. One hundred years ago, I never heard that there would be such a big rebellion in Aouine. Although his Thane Count of Radnor demonstrated the power of one's own, this did not change the fact that the kingdom was becoming stale and rotten and shaky.
Not to mention a hundred years ago, even 50 years ago, even in the most remote places, there would be no threat to the life of noble.
Pallas sighed and read: "Brando, Brando, let me, the old guy, stand up for this kingdom ..."
He threw the dagger to the center of the map on the table, and inserted it in the position of Fir City. Victory seemed to be within reach of already.
The Grudin's family member, the battle-hardened Knight already, no longer hesitates. The army of Radnor withdraws and camps this evening, preparing for the final offensive after a night's rest, and winning the enemy's defense in a hurry. Pallas is not afraid that the ‘rebels’ will come to attack by night. With his experience, he will not make such a low grade mistake. If the enemy is really stupid, he would not mind ending the war earlier.
Unfortunately, the leader on the opposite side was as savvy as he expected. The -- was speechless overnight. The next morning, the real offensive began.
The sky is only bright. Ciel and Medissa saw the countless soldiers in the forest on the other side on the sentry tower. "They are logging on the bridge and they can't handle our manpower." Ciel said back. .
Medissa nodded.
The test has begun.
The same sentence flashed in both hearts.
