Chapter 153, Wright Forest Ambush
phone-reading
When the Beastmen appeared in front of the knights, most of the knights were still sitting on the ground: "What? What happened?"
The Beastmen would not give them a chance to hesitate. With the machete and the big ax swung down, many knights spilled blood on the spot before they could react. The rest of the knights were still struggling to stand up, but a strong big horned beast directly knocked him over. On the ground, he slashed down with an axe.
"Crack!" The viscera splattered, and a knight who had worked so hard to train for nine years was disembowelled. The dissatisfied bighorn made two stabs, and flesh and bones flew in the air.
"Kill! Kill!" The Beastman army rushed from all directions, cutting the several-kilometer-long army into several pieces. In the darkness, battles were happening everywhere. The roar of the Beastmen, the cries of humans and There were endless screams.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Where is my squire? I need my armor!"
"Soldiers! Form a front... ah!"
"Protect the earl! Protect the earl!"
The unsuspecting human army was rushed to pieces by the Beastmen. In the chaos, the Beastmen would kill and bite humans when they saw them. Without the encouragement of the Holy Grail Knights, the serf soldiers would collapse in the face of these terrifying creatures. Dismounting their weapons, they screamed and ran for their lives. Having lost their battle line, they were quickly overwhelmed by the beastmen's frenzy.
The giant Minotaur used a machete to cut open the fragile tent, grabbed the human beings and bit them down. The smell of human flesh only slightly satisfied their appetites, and soon, their senses were overwhelmed by even more hunger and bloodthirsty pleasure. What comes down is craving.
The flow of blood, the falling head, and the despair of human beings are their best food.
The human army was still working hard to organize the defense. When the sergeants barely lined up inside the camp, even more terrifying creatures appeared.
"It's the doomsday bull! Back off! Back off!" Many people who recognized this terrifying creature screamed. As soon as this terrifying creature appeared, it completely crushed the sergeant's line. The generals were easily beheaded, and some soldiers were even held directly and smashed to the ground, smashed into a pulp alive.
"Kill! Kill! Let humans... blood stain the forest!" In the depths of the forest, the beast king "Bloodhorn" Maras was dispatched.
A shoddy beastman chariot was dragged out by several razor beasts. Above the chariot was a large chaotic altar. The filthy blood-red energy was swallowing all the light on the altar, leaving only chaos and nothingness.
Unlike the vast majority of Chaos believers, the beastman Beastmaster "Bloodhorn" Maras of Arden Forest believes in four Chaos gods at the same time.
This rarely happens, because the four gods of chaos are hostile to each other, and the price of pleasing one god may be to offend another god. When offering blood and skulls to Khorne, maybe Slaanesh is gnashing his teeth, through tricks and tricks Perhaps Tzeentch had smiled when Nurgle was upset.
Only those who have absolute confidence in their own strength and firmly believe that they can be favored and wooed by the four gods at the same time dare to make such a choice. These believers of the four chaotic gods risked being abandoned by the god of chaos and became a chaotic egg, so they firmly chose This most difficult road.
In addition, there is also a belief in chaos. The four gods do not believe in it, but only believe in chaos itself. This sect is more complicated. They believe that everything is controlled by chaos. Different titles, the human world is completely at the mercy of chaos.
Just like in recent years, many cultists are wandering the countryside of Brittania, they claim that the fairy of the lake is an incarnation of Tzeentch, one of the four gods of chaos, and the knights are working hard to suppress the confusion of the serfs, but many rumors remain spread like wildfire.
The terrible chaotic chariot rushed into the camp like a monster under the driving of the razor beast. The chariot was pieced together using rough wood, bent, and rusty nails. It was not built with any design and superb technology. After careful inspection After these weapons, everyone's conclusion is the same,
These are just heavy wheeled carts. But under the protection of Chaos Energy, led by the Razor Beast, the cumbersome two-wheeled chariot will smash the enemy's weak defense line like an iron drill.
The knife wheel on the chariot was spinning crazily. Dozens of serf soldiers were sawed off while fleeing, and fell to the ground, howling.
"Kill! Let human... blood stain this land!" The beast king's call resounded throughout the dark forest.
"Huh! Huh! Ha!" The beast people also responded to the call of the beast king.
The bad horned beasts were screaming and gnawing on the flesh and blood of human beings. The horned beasts kept harvesting the single soldiers. The big horned beasts and giant minotaurs were wreaking havoc in the Britannia army, destroying all human beings. resist.
The most frightening thing is the doomsday bulls. Their bodies are already covered with the heads of countless knights. Many blond-haired and blue-eyed Breton knights were beheaded by them with bare hands, and many heads are still dripping blood.
At this time, military discipline, strategy, and military formation are completely useless. In the dark forest, the heavy armor and shields of the knights have become a burden instead. Most of the knights have no time to wear armor. In the dark, they can only rely on Fight the Beastmen with innate strength of body and mind.
In this case, how can a weak human being be a match for a beastman?
After half an hour.
The knights of the kingdom who had survived many battles fell one after another, and the young ranger knights were harvested in pieces. Many desperate soldiers rushed to the Beastmen and died on the spot. The serfs fled in all directions, and many serfs were drowned in mud.
The Earl of Adelaide watched in disbelief that his army had been divided into more than a dozen sections by the Beastmen, and then gradually swallowed up by the Beastmen's frenzy: "No...it shouldn't have become like this."
"Back! Back!" There were wild shouts of backing in the camp one after another. The red and blue Knight Kingdom army was retreating steadily, and the beastmen gradually approached the center of the camp.
As professional soldiers, the Britannian knights were also very tenacious. Many knights finally found their followers in the chaos. They put on their armor in the rain of javelins and fought hard at the risk of huge casualties.
In the torrential rain, the knights were still trying their best to direct the sergeants to tighten the line of defense and rebuild their positions. The Earl of Adelaide fled in embarrassment under the protection of his followers. The Earl himself had red eyes: "Why did it become like this? Why did it become like this? so?"
His army is falling apart, and there's nothing he can do.
"My count! Let's go!" The subordinates and the loyal knights of his family are trying to surround him and retreat. The group stepped on the muddy water and retreated through the hills guarded by the knights, but suddenly found that there were also a large number of people behind them. Beastmen, a doomsday bull approached with dozens of giant minotaurs grimly: "It's... humans... eat... kill them!"
"We can't escape, Earl, there are Beastmen everywhere!" A servant cried in despair.
"Hold your position, hold your ground!" Adelaide had no choice but to shout: "Everyone, gather here!"
The rest of the army gathered towards the hill where the earl was. When this army formed a line of defense, there were only more than 6,000 left from the left army of about 15,000, and the remaining 9,000 People have all been buried in the bone forest.
The sergeants and the remaining serf soldiers formed the first line of defense, and the knights who suffered heavy casualties formed the second line. The surviving earls and other nobles in the middle circle shouted loudly for defense and established a defensive position. , Repelling wave after wave of Beastmen's attacks, they watched in agony as Beastmen continued to execute those wounded knights and soldiers, and then enjoyed one gluttonous feast after another.
"Day...is it dawn?" After a night of hard fighting, Earl Adelaide raised his head and found that it was dawn.
"Count! What did the Marquis of Anxi say?" a knight said hastily.
"The Marquis of Anxi said that they also encountered heavy rain, and there was no way to come to support us!" Adelaide put down the magic communication tool, he could no longer care that he was completely wet, had not slept all night, his eyes were blue The swollen earl yelled fiercely: "He let us break out, but... how can I break out?"
Adelaide felt extremely regretful, he really did not expect such a thing to happen, and his army did not underestimate the enemy, but why did a sudden heavy rain and the surprise attack of the Beastmen be so synchronized?
The rain is still falling. The heavy rain from midnight yesterday to this morning made the army tired and hungry. The Beastmen attacked wave after wave. Soldiers fell to the ground and died every moment. Some knights of the kingdom only had a sword in their hands. But they still resisted: "For the lady! For Britannia!"
The beast king "Blood Horn" Maras, who was located deep in the forest, sneered, "The...false god in the lake? Already...abandoned...you."
"Attack... human... last... attack!"
"They... can't hold on anymore!"
At noon on September 7th, seeing that the situation was over, the Earl of Adelaide finally decided to lead the knights to break through. He led more than 100 knights and more than 150 knight retinues and forcibly rushed out of the encirclement of the Beastmen and disappeared. In the heavy rain.
The Beastmen didn't catch up, the Beastmaster had already thought about the next tactics, instead, he ordered the remaining Beastmen to continue storming the hill.
Thus, until the night of September 7th, after losing the commander, the remaining 6,000 human troops were all wiped out, and none escaped.
The beasts celebrated their victory. They stripped the corpses of the knights and hung countless heads on their bodies. Hundreds of headless human corpses were piled up higher than the mountains. Many filthy creatures had completed their advanced stages. , the low-horned beasts became horned beasts, and the herd of horned beasts evolved into big-horned beasts, and the marks of evil gods began to appear on the big-horned beasts-that was the proof that they were favored by the gods of chaos.
"Uh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Ma'am! Help me! Help me!" A young knight-errant was crawling around in the muddy water. In desperation, he prayed frantically to the fairy in the lake.
"You despicable...maggots, incompetent...humans!" The Beastmaster walked up behind him and opened his bloody mouth.
"Wow! Don't! Don't!!!" The knight-errant was dragged by his hind legs and dragged into the depths of the dark forest.
There, a grand chaos festival is about to begin, and the living knights will be sacrificed to the dark gods in exchange for their gifts.
"Next...the castle."
…………
On the morning of September 9th, the Earl of Adelaide finally returned to Ursen Castle with a small number of people, but immediately Ursen Castle was besieged by a large army of beastmen with a number of more than 13,000.
Castle interior, tower hall.
"Damn! Damn! Damn! Why is the weather starting to clear again at this time?" The Earl of Adelaide slammed his hand on the wooden table. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and his spirit seemed very poor: "Damn , there are too many beastmen, it is impossible for the defenders to hold here."
Ursen Castle is located in the middle of the river valley, with excellent defensive performance and a large number of defense equipment, but none of this can conceal the lack of defenders. More than 200 people who followed the Earl of Adelaide to break through returned to Yursen Castle. There were only a hundred or so left in Sen Castle, and there were only a few dozen knights and a thousand defenders in the castle. It was impossible for them to defend the castle from the onslaught of the Beastmen.
A kingdom knight came in from outside, he said anxiously: "My count, without reinforcements, we are doomed!"
"Then what can we do? We can only defend this castle! The only good news is that the Marquis of Anxi has led the army in the middle and is rushing back!" Through the window of the tower, the earl can see countless beasts besieging the castle The army of people is black and dense until the end of the line of sight.
The Marquis of Anci must rush back to save Ursen Castle.
Because there are a lot of military supplies piled up there, as well as most of the food and grass of the left and center army. Except for the right army led by Ryan, who can bring all the food and grass of the army because of its small number of people, the left army with a large number of people Both the Route Army and the Central Route Army needed supplies from Ursen Castle.
It can be seen from this that the Earl of Adelaide, who suffered such a disastrous defeat, was scolded bloody by the Marquis of Anchi.
"Adelaide, you are such a stupid bastard, a shameless scum, a disgrace to chivalry, and the lucky star of the beastmen! How did you lose all of your army of more than 15,000 people overnight? Exhausted?" In the magic communication, the Marquis of Onsi scolded the Marquis of Adelaide.
"It's not my fault! My marquis, this is obviously a lie by the right army! They obviously didn't meet the main force of the Beastmen, but they lied about the army, so I marched with confidence, only to be ambushed by accident! "The Earl of Adelaide immediately argued.
"I'll talk about this later. I'll tell you, hold on for three days. After three days, you'll get reinforcements!" Marquis Anxi knew that he had to return to help. He ordered the army to turn around and return to Ursen on the original road. castle.
The war of chivalry has failed, and they may never be able to touch the Wanmo Rock again. Thinking of this ending, the face of the Marquis of Anxi turned green and white. This is the first time he has commanded the army of chivalry. If this ends up, How would he explain to his lady and king?
wait.
The Marquis of Anxi suddenly felt that he still had a role to play.
Isn't this the decisive battle I want?
If he could wipe out this Beastman army outside Yursen's castle, then his chivalry war would not be considered a failure.
As long as Adelaide stands firm for three days, once his own army arrives, he will join forces from the inside and the outside. According to the military book, the Beastmen will not be able to hold on for a long time under the attack from two sides.
correct! The key to turning defeat into victory is here!
