Chapter 1056, The Battle of the Taalfjord Martyrdom

Latest URL:

Alfred, Alfred, wake up. "

In the darkness, Alfred frantically and helplessly tried to reach out.

Can't move, can't move at all.

As if something had imprisoned his body and consciousness, Alfred couldn't feel anything except pain.

Am I dead? The patriarch thought with great pain.

He vaguely remembered his last battle, the Battle of Taal Fjord.

From the beginning of this war, everyone realized that this battle would be very difficult, because His Majesty Emperor Karl Franz had just fought in the blood pine forest. The army was very tired, and even the emperor himself had to recuperate. After losing the help of the Imperial Central Army, it means that the Justice Church must rely on its own strength to solve the threat of chaos.

There must be no hope for Midden to lead the army. The conflict between the Ulrich Sect and the Justice Church has been going on for a long time.

Nuer can't count on it either. On the one hand, the Countess has an ambiguous attitude. She is unwilling to take sides in the struggle within the Justice Church, so she only provides an artillery battalion and twenty Blackstone guards for sponsorship. On the other hand, she also agrees with her Although she is only a teenager, Emilia has been told that Nuer University cannot educate little Frederick any more, and that the young baron now wants practical experience and adventure experience.

To be honest, Emilia is not very willing for her son to go out to actual combat, but there is Ryan's precedent. Such a dazzling example, there is no reason why little Frederick should not follow. Of course, the Nuer nobles also hope that the future heir Wu De Abundant, so recently Nur's attention has been on Frederick Jr.'s series of mountain adventures in the south of Wissenland and commanding a small force to try to wipe out the Goblin tribe (several Nuer legions including Nuer Iron Armor The army is behind the formation).

All that could be counted on, therefore, was the reinforcements of Talabheim.

This is also the reason for Alfred's worry. When the scouts reported that the Chaos Legion was in the Shadow Forest across the Talabek River, Alfred was one of the very few people who could still maintain his sanity. Archbishop Vekmar immediately decided to lead When the army forcibly crossed the freshly thawed Talabek River and immediately attacked the Chaos army, Alfred clearly expressed his opposition.

The Patriarch is probably one of the very few people who dare to oppose Vikma. Alfred believes that the army is tired from the expedition, the weather is very bad (heavy rain for days), the army is very difficult to purchase rations (the lack of time), and there is not enough food. Firearms, the battle situation is very unfavorable.

Archbishop Vikma did not punish Alfred for this, but ignored him and ordered the army to move on. Later, during the process of crossing the river, the high priest took the time to tell Alfred that these objective and subjective difficulties existed, but there were two reasons It is impossible for the archbishop to stop. The first is the pressure within the church, and the second is the worry about the continuous loosening of the seal. The high priest is worried that if the march is too slow, it may cause the church to split. The second is that if the seal Quick Loosen they had more than just Chaos to face.

Even so, Alfred is still not optimistic about this battle. The patriarch who has been fighting with Ryan for a long time and has been swayed by his ears found that in addition to the lack of troops in the army, the offensive and defensive momentum has also changed. The army of the Justice Church was originally here to fight a defense. In the end, it turned into an offensive battle. The army had to face the Chaos soldiers in the Black Forest, and they had to brave the heavy rain.

After crossing the Talabek River, the army of the Church of Justice soon encountered the main force of the Chaos army. More than 14,000 people from Khorne's Chosen Glaxor-Fireaxe were gathering. What they had to face was a long-distance army. Exhausted from trekking, having just crossed the river, and lacking firearms, the righteous Church's army numbered only about 11,000.

But Archbishop Vicma knew that Talabheim's follow-up troops and Cardinal Pushlock's reinforcements of about 7,000 were already within the marching range, and the High Priest believed that it was necessary to exchange fire with the Chaos army immediately.

Otherwise, if the opponent wants to play hide-and-seek with the church army in the forest, it will be troublesome.

Regardless of the exhausted army, the high priest ordered the whole army to advance again. Braving the heavy rain, the main force of the Church of Justice directly defeated the Chaos vanguard, and then formed a formation in the forest, preparing for a decisive battle with the Chaos army.

The two sides began to line up, and the Chaos Warlord Glaxor-Fireaxe quickly realized that this was not the entire strength of the Justice Church's army, so the Khorne God Chosen ordered some heavily armored Chaos Warriors and Barbarian Warriors to be dispatched from the more numerous right wing. As a reserve force, the Chinese army also set up a U-shaped pocket formation, preparing to lure the army of the Justice Church into a trap.

The High Priest stood on the Charlemagne War Altar of the Justice Church. He knew the plan of Chaos clearly, but even though he knew it was a trap, the High Priest vowed to cleanse all evil in the name of Charlemagne, so he immediately sent Cardinal Fu Gersamo and the two cavalry led 3,000 men to attack the opponent's right flank, and then ordered Alfred to lead 1,000 troops to attack the opponent's left flank, trying to crack the pocket formation.

However, in the forest, the cavalry's impact advantage cannot be used, and the military formation and order advantages that the human army relies on for survival are also not good. What's worse is the continuous heavy rain. Work is blocked.

The ineffectiveness of the initial assault put the command of the high priest in a difficult situation. At this time, the most troublesome thing happened. Those fanatical paladins and ascetics heard that the two wings had started to exchange fire, but they did not receive orders, so they shouted directly. The battle cry began to charge without authorization, and more than 5,000 Chinese troops lost control in an instant and all advanced. More than 2,000 people from General Pretel and Cardinal Conce directly crashed into the chaotic pocket formation and were attacked from three sides. All were killed and no one survived. , the remaining army also failed to cause too many effective attacks on the Chaos Central Army.

Fortunately, at this time, the warlord of Chaos, Glaxor Fireaxe, was hungry and thirsty when he saw the fierce battle, and sent several legions of barbarian troops led by Chaos Warriors and Monster Troops towards the seat of the church army, Archbishop Vicmar. A frontal attack was launched, and the human army was able to demonstrate its superiority in line and order. Chaos' attack was blocked, and the Templars and Hospital Knights seized the opportunity to go around and wiped out at least two legions of Chaos troops.

At this time, Cardinal Pushlock's 7,000 reinforcements finally arrived on the battlefield. Vikma immediately thought that this was an excellent opportunity to counterattack, so he ordered the entire army to counterattack. Qishu e-book

As a result, the main force of the church army just rushed into the chaotic pocket formation. Vikma soon found that he and his army were attacked on three sides, and the high priest had no intention of retreating. He stood on the war altar and called on all soldiers Fight bravely with the priests, for the God of Justice, for Charlemagne, and for the Empire!

So the war turned into a complete war of attrition. The Church army and the Chaos army fought frantically and bloodily in the heavy rain and in the mud of the forest. No one could retreat. The result of the war was that either the Church army was completely wiped out by the Chaos army, Either the army of the church breaks through the pocket array and shatters the siege of chaos.

This is an ultimate test of spirit, will and body. The Lasher Ascetics fanatically believe that they have finally found the relief of life. The war has been fought from morning to 22 o'clock in the evening. The Chaos army has been close to the edge of victory several times. Gluck Sol-Fire Ax once killed Walker Horse at 21 o'clock in the evening. The champion confrontation between the two sides lasted for more than 20 minutes. In the end, the great priest killed the Chaos warlord with the artifact war hammer of the Church of Justice.

Finally, at 22 o'clock in the evening, the unstoppable Chaos army was finally completely defeated by the remaining 800 remnants. Archbishop Vicmar and the remaining 500 soldiers (referring to soldiers who can continue to fight) were able to announce this victory in a war.

For this victory, the church army paid a casualty rate as high as 95%.

"It's terrible. The blood stained the Talabek River, and there were a lot of bodies washed down the upper reaches every minute for fourteen hours."

— Hunter of Talabek

Alfred recalled the whole battle, and the Patriarch gasped in pain. He remembered that he fought with a Chaos Egg in the final battle. After fighting all day, he was extremely exhausted, and the Holy Shield The technique had already been used up, and the terrifying monster grabbed him and prepared to swallow him, but at the critical moment, he grabbed his short gun and pulled the trigger towards the mouth of the Chaos Egg. The smell of gunpowder ignited him. The scorching sparks scalded his hand holding the gun barrel to blisters, and he fell to the ground. Before he could catch his breath, Chaos' two-handed heavy ax struck from behind and sliced ​​open his back. armor, hurting his spine.

He was so tired, so sleepy, he knew he had fallen to the ground, tumbled into the river, but he didn't want to think about anything, since leaving his home in Nord, since becoming a paladin, since Became the patriarch, Alfred dedicated everything to faith and order.

He could feel his breathing stop, his strength ebbing rapidly, the icy water was immersing his body, and he was rushing down the rushing Talabek River like a litter.

Darkness strikes...

In the next second, Alfred woke up abruptly, and the Patriarch spat out gulps of blood. He breathed hurriedly, breathing the muddy and damp air in the Talabek Forest, He felt that his body was broken, and there was a sharp long sword stuck in his chest. This long sword firmly fixed him on the stone slab, and he couldn't move. The blade pierced his heart cleanly. , but did not kill him, on the contrary, Alfred could feel some kind of strange power on the blade maintaining his life.

At night, the Talabek Great Forest was full of stars, and the woodland was quiet and peaceful, but it was also dangerous. The Patriarch tried to move his body but found that he couldn't move, so he had to cast his eyes to both sides.

Standing on both sides of his body were two strange men, one in red armor, wearing a crimson peaked and feathered helmet, and a sky blue cloak swaying behind him, without saying a word.

The other person is a woman, she looks like a female elf from her pointed ears, but she shaved off all the hair at the temples, and the long hair on the top and back of the head was fixed with a semicircular octagonal headdress, and her body was covered Putting on the red and black tight-fitting rune suit and dark red dress, she looked fierce and indifferent. Seeing that Alfred had woken up, she nodded slightly and drew the sword from Alfred's chest: "Are you awake?"

There was no blood on the blade or blade, and Alfred turned paler when he saw this scene.

"Where is this place?" Alfred wanted to speak but found that his mouth was very dry. He wondered if his blood had drained, and he even wondered if he had turned into an undead creature.

"The gate of hell." The female elf...Alfred guessed that it should be a dark elf, she said.

"Am I dead?" Alfred said with a wry smile, his smile was still sunny and full of vigor, which reminded the female elf of a less annoying guy.

"Next time." The female dark elf said bluntly.

"Next time for sure?"

"Even the power of Jena can only help you fight against death once." The female dark elf said coldly: "You will not be so lucky next time, human!"

"Anyway, thank you." Alfred bandaged himself casually, and barely stabilized the injury. Miraculously, he felt that the inside of his body was not that bad—on the contrary, most of the chest and back injuries had healed. The Patriarch anxiously searched for his water bottle, which he quickly found beside the stone slab. There was still a bit of diluted Bagman beer in it, and he drank it in one gulp, after his thirst subsided Quickly bow and thank you.

"There is nothing to thank. Your people are assembled 3.5 kilometers downstream. Go there before you die." The female dark elf took out a gorgeous small flower fan and shook it: "Our mission has been completed."

"It's time to get paid."
