Chapter 271 God Said, Let There Be Light (Two in One)
Bai Xiaowen didn't go far before he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
The white rose lord Cecilia, riding a tall white horse with a pure white cloak, caught up with Bai Xiaowen all the way.
"Dio, what do you mean?" Cecilia said coldly, "His Royal Highness is trapped and the situation is critical, why don't you go to the rescue? You ordered the third line of defense to detour, do you want to retreat?"
"My order is based on the judgment of the battlefield situation," Bai Xiaowen thought for a while, but decided to make it clear to Cecilia, "Do you think the Vanguard Army of the Remnants can really defeat Prince Nicholas?"
Cecilia frowned.
Bai Xiaowen explained: "Right now, the main force of the remnants has not yet arrived. If even a vanguard army can defeat the most elite imperial regiment in the Black Rock Fortress, this battle does not need to be fought... Based on my judgment, Prince Your Highness must have hidden backers, and the vanguard army of the remnants of this battle will be defeated."
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said again: "So, we have to detour to the enemy's rear now, ambush in dangerous terrain, and cut off their way of return... When they are defeated and flee to the north, they will be wiped out in one battle. annihilate."
Bai Xiaowen also hid a word without saying a word.
The second main quest [War of Black Rock] requires defending the Black Rock Fortress for ten days.
The strength of the Baishi Army under Bai Xiaowen's command is probably only a few tenths of the entire battle situation. This is still in terms of numbers. In terms of strength, the ratio will be reduced to less than one percent... In other words, the Baishi Army has a very weak influence on the entire "general trend".
This shows in disguise that the human coalition army in the Black Rock Fortress has a certain strength in itself, and can last for at least a few days under the attack of the remnants of the force... If even the vanguard army can't fight, it will collapse at a touch, no matter how high Bai Xiaowen is. Two levels, it is impossible to reverse the trend.
The Astral Rules do not generate quests that cannot be completed. Of course, this is off-site information, and Bai Xiaowen can't say it clearly.
Cecilia said coldly: "I don't agree with your judgment, I only trust my own eyes."
This is the result of information asymmetry. Although Bai Xiaowen believed his judgment 100%, he could not convince Cecilia. Of course, this also has something to do with Bai Xiaowen's low reputation in the human coalition army. If you get the reputation of reverence and even worship, I believe Cecilia will also weigh the weight of his words.
"In the name of the commander of the third line of defense, I order the nineteenth infantry phalanx to follow my orders and move in a roundabout way!" Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "Ms. Cecilia, please execute the order."
"A baron who relies on the shadow of his ancestors, he dares to be so presumptuous!" Cecilia snorted again, holding back even more harsh words, "I only obey the prince's orders, and his last order is... The whole army charges. !"
Lord Julien followed on horseback and said, "Don't be impulsive, everyone is a well-bred nobleman, and you have something to say..."
However, Cecilia didn't even look down on Lord Julien, turned her horse's head, and left without any intention of continuing the conversation.
"Brother, I have heard what you just said..." Lord Julien laughed, "I have to admit, what you said has some truth, but it is contrary to the prince's order. I think we should proceed cautiously? Don't ask for merit, But ask for nothing."
Bai Xiaowen shook his head: "The fighter plane is fleeting, how can you wait for the military order? If you don't want to go, then stay and let's go!"
"Hey, hey...Wait a minute," Lord Julien stopped Bai Xiaowen, "Young people are impatient. Well, I will assign you the most elite cavalry team under my command. This is my direct guard, a total of twenty People, but they are all elites. Instead of fighting together with those mud-legged recruits on the battlefield, it is better to send your men to retreat together and survive. "
"...Don't you want to finish the team early so that you can return to Black Rock City?"
"Hey, I'm talking about the newly recruited pariahs, those guys whose legs go weak at the sound of the drums, it's a waste of rations to live. These twenty cavalry are different,
It's my baby. "Lord Julien said.
"...I repeat, I am going to the enemy's rear, not retreating," Bai Xiaowen said. "Your precious cavalry may be damaged, and if you are unlucky, your entire army will be wiped out."
"Hahaha, I understand, I understand, detour, turn in, not retreat!" Lord Julien laughed, "Yes, if you really guessed it, you intercepted the route of the vanguard of the remnant vanguard in advance, which is a great achievement. One piece, my cavalry team is worth it..."
Bai Xiaowen was a little respected.
Lord Julien muttered again: "I just happen to be able to share some merits, and I can say it with dignity when I return to Black Rock City..."
"..."
Taking the twenty cavalry under Lord Julien, Bai Xiaowen ordered the whole army to detour and left the battlefield from the side. According to his memory of the topographic map of the northern border, he quickly selected a dangerous terrain called Hei Tie Gorge, fifty miles north of Heiyan City.
...
In front of Black Rock City, the battle is still fierce.
Prince Nicholas is in trouble, which makes the nine northern lords of the three lines of defense (there are still eight remaining) very anxious. If Prince Nicholas makes a mistake, how should they explain to the Plantagenet Empire? By then there was no way out.
Therefore, even if the elites of the remnants are powerful, the Human North Xinjiang United Army is still advancing despite a lot of losses.
And the troll headhunters and half-orc spearmen troop fighting against the combined army of northern human beings, under the loud scolding orders of the vanguard commander Kelman, also exerted their strength to resist the advance of the other party, and did not give any The opportunity for the human northern Xinjiang coalition to rescue Prince Nicholas.
Cecilia fired a real fire and once again ordered the archers to shoot indiscriminately. The rain of arrows simultaneously harvested the lives of soldiers from both sides. As for herself, she led dozens of white armored knights to charge in a sharp and arrow formation.
At the beginning, the cavalry charge was like a broken bamboo. But in the blink of an eye, the vanguard commander Kelman sent a group of stone armored monitor lizard knights to stop the momentum of Cecilia's charge.
The stone armored monitor lizard knight has a strong defense, like a thick city wall blocking the front, and the conflict cannot enter.
Losing their speed advantage, Cecilia's cavalry was instead surrounded by troll headhunters, pulling and dismounting several.
Cecilia wielded a bowstring and strangled a troll headhunter. A storm of hurricane arrows cleared a path behind her, and she managed to lead her army out of the siege. Looking back at the white armored knights around him, there were actually nearly ten fewer.
Cecilia's heart was bleeding, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Keep rushing!"
Julien on the side persuaded: "Forget it, those barbarians who ride on the stone armored monitor lizards are as hard as stones in a cesspool, and it is impossible for us to rush through with the helpless army."
Indeed, it wasn't just Cecilia who was hindered. The other units of the Human Northern Xinjiang United Army also stopped advancing and got into a fight with the enemy's Stone Armored Monitor Lizard Knights.
Cecilia was not a fool, and she did not give an order to continue the charge. Instead, she opened up her bow and arrow, and began to use the advantages of a long-range leader-level powerhouse, arrow after arrow, reaping the lives of the elite soldiers of the Remnant Coalition Army.
This method of warfare is obviously familiar to the soldiers under her command. Dozens of white-armored knights surrounded her, those skilled in archery in the inner circle also began to shoot; while the heavy-armored knights guarded the outer circle.
The infantry archer beside him, in accordance with Cecilia's order, launched a projectile at the largest target group of stone armored monitor lizard knights. Although the single damage is limited, but the number is large, these elite monitor lizard knights with amazing defense can't bear it.
However, Cecilia and Julien looked at the enemy camp with worry.
The enemy ignored the casualties on the frontal battlefield, but concentrated the main elite and leader-level powerhouses on the flanks to attack Prince Nicholas, obviously treating Nicholas as a big fish, as long as Nicholas was killed, even if the frontal battlefield died, it would be a big profit.
Because the frontal battlefield of the Allied People's Army was originally only a small number of troops.
At this moment, behind Nicholas, a yellow flag was suddenly raised and waved in the wind.
Immediately afterwards, in the direction of Black Rock City, a terrifying energy fluctuation came, the earth was roaring and vibrating, and the sky was covered with dark clouds!
A figure in a red robe slowly flew into the sky. The red bishop's robe on his body, like inflated, rattled!
One after another dazzling rays of light shot out from below and gathered on him, reflecting him like a light man.
Such a blinding light and shadow effect played an 82-point pretense effect. Both sides of the war, whether it was the remnant or the human coalition, stopped and stared at the "light man" rising into the sky.
From the dazzling light, I could vaguely see that this was a tall old man. He held a glowing code in his left hand and read it aloud. His voice was like Hong Zhong Da Lu, and the entire battlefield could be heard clearly.
"In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, the earth was void and chaos, and the face of the abyss was dark; the Spirit of God moved on the surface of the water, and God said: Let there be light. Then there was light..."
Accompanied by the reading sound, the old man in red robe lifted his hand with difficulty, as if he was carrying a heavy load, slowly rising inch by inch.
"...God sees that light is good, so he separates light from darkness."
"God called the light day and the darkness night..."
"...there are evenings, and there are mornings. This is...the first day..."
When the last word was uttered, the red-robed old man's fingers also pointed to the top of his head.
The dark clouds were densely covered, and suddenly it seemed like a sharp sword had pierced through the clouds, and the sky light poured down, directly covering the remnant camp!
The stone armoured monitor lizard knight, the wolf cavalry, the half-orc lancer, the troll headhunter... and even the leader of the vanguard of the remnant were all shrouded in light.
In an instant, countless miserable howls sounded. This holy light shone on the survivors, but it was like the torture of frying in a frying pan. Every second, their health was dropping rapidly!
The rays of light fell on the soldiers of the Human Alliance Army, but they were soft and warm. Not only was their health slowly recovering, but even their wounds were slowly healing.
After a few seconds, the light dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky disappeared. The red-robed old man who was shrouded in light also fell powerlessly into the city.
However, the situation on the battlefield has completely changed.
The human coalition army was full of health and morale, and roared and launched a charge.
The Vanguard Army of the Remnants, all ordinary template soldiers that were irradiated by the light, such as the half-orc drudgery, etc., were directly purified. And those elite soldiers, even if they survived, were all injured. In severe cases, their health was even less than half, and they were also given a bad state of halving all their attributes.
"Withdraw!"
Kelman, commander of the Remnant Vanguard Army, roared hoarsely. As an old orc who has experienced hundreds of battles, he is very clear that fleeing is not a shameful thing. As long as the fire of these elite soldiers can be kept, they can still make a comeback when they merge with the main force!
dong dong dong!
Kelman sounded the war drum and launched another boss skill, Inspiration! The attack speed of the entire army increased by 15%, and the movement speed increased by 30%! Of course, when he activated this skill, he hoped to retreat faster, and there was no counterattack.
The passionate horn sounded, and Prince Nicholas smashed the head of a monitor lizard knight with a hammer, ordering the entire army to charge and pursue the Allied People's Army in order to expand the victory.
"Come on, justice will prevail!"
"Praise the Light! Long live the Light!"
The lords of the Northern Xinjiang Union Army, one by one, as if they had been beaten with blood, led their troops to follow in the footsteps of Prince Nicholas and rushed over.
"Hey, that guy really expected," Lord Julien slapped his thigh, ordered his infantry to charge, and turned back to find Cecilia, "What are you doing, hurry up, don't let those savages run away. "
Cecilia frowned slightly, pointed the bow and arrow, and the white armored cavalry under her command led the team, and many archers rushed over.
However, Cecilia herself was a little less interested. For a while, she couldn't believe this fact, and was stunned for a long time.
"That hairy boy... Really guessed it right?"
Lord Julien didn't charge with the army either. He regarded his life as very important, so he stayed where he was and said, "Yeah, he guessed right. Hey, there's a good show to watch now, I hope he can come back alive. ...The group of savages retreated very decisively, and many elites escaped. With the speed of the imperial army, I am afraid they will not be able to catch up."
Cecilia quickly understood: "Yes, although he correctly judged the direction of the battle and ambushed in advance, but... whether he can eat the defeated troops of the Remnant Allied Army depends on whether he has the strength or not. Is it still time for us to reinforce now?"
Lord Julien shook his head: "Go and report to His Royal Highness first."
...
Prince Nicholas was covered in blue armor and blood, and his handsome face added a vicious aura, but it was mostly the blood of the enemy.
"Chase, chase! Kill them all!"
Prince Nicholas wields a warhammer to boost the morale of the entire army. However, after all, the enemy has the blessing of an inspirational state, and the survivors themselves are all elites, running extremely fast, and the more they chase, the farther they go. rw For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
