Chapter 640, Waldbach Ambush
In the town of Waldbach, within the Church of Justice Church in the center of the town.
Ryan, Suria, Callard, Pfitzman and others stood in the church, looking at the map of Wessenland.
On the map, three black lines came along the south of Wessenland, and had already advanced to a place very close to the town of Waldbach.
The chief guard of the town only left more than a hundred defenders. He really didn't expect that Ryan would personally lead this army to the south for support. He was both flattered and relieved.
"How much do you know about the situation on the front line? How much do you know about the enemy?" Ryan looked at the map, and he pointed his finger near the town of Waldbach.
The town of Waldbach used to be a town in Solland in the past. It is located on the border of Solland and Wessenland. As we all know, about seven hundred years ago, the green-skinned warlord "Iron Claw" Gorbad invaded the empire and destroyed the entire Solland. The Elector of Thorland and Solland died in battle, and the entire elector family and all the troops were wiped out. Gorbad finally stopped in front of Brunswick, but Thorland was unable to restore its original state and was merged into Weiwei. Forest collar.
"Currently, all the land in the original Sol Territory has basically fallen, and at least 20,000 people and 3,000 troops died in this invasion." The guard chief of Waldbach Town introduced: "At present, only Bai Tower City and several towns in the north have not yet fallen, but it is only a matter of time."
"How many enemies are there?" Ryan frowned. He only brought an army of more than 4,000 people this time. Considering the logistics and the need to keep people to support him, he could only lead 3,000 people into battle at most.
"I don't know. Some soldiers and refugees who fled from the front line said that the enemy can't see the number at all...it seems endless." The guard chief was a little timid.
"Can't see the number?!" Before Ryan could speak, Pfitzman, the leader of the Knights of the Sun, took the initiative to speak. He was wearing a set of obsidian plate armor. There is no doubt that the value of Pfitzman's equipment is astronomical.
But in today's meeting, no one's equipment was worse than his.
Ryan's silver Gray Knight Seiko Power Armor is extraordinary at first glance. Although there are not too many decorations and looks unpretentious from the outside, Pfitzman can still feel the power contained in it.
Karard was wearing a set of dwarven Grimnir full-body plate armor jointly forged by the rune blacksmith Deron Feinson and the rune blacksmith of the Angrund clan. Incomparably gorgeous, three ancient dwarven runes shone brightly along the plate armor. For this plate armor, Karard spent a full five thousand gold crowns, which is still the friendship price of the dwarves.
As for Suria, let alone, Pfitzman has not figured out until now, where did Ryan's wife get the full-body plate armor that radiates light like the scorching sun? !
The head of the Sun Knights, who always gave people a dazzling impression in the charge, was almost blinded by the flash!
"Yes, I can't see the number clearly." The chief guard explained eagerly: "Because the Chaos army always has green and black thick fog surrounding them during the attack, we don't know how many people there are, we can only look Until the continuous army rushed out of the dense fog, and then the powerful war machines and those terrible artillery smashed the city walls, and there were hundreds of Chaos Giants and Chaos Ogres."
"Well, I understand." Ryan nodded, and he said to the chief guard: "You guys retreat first, you can't help us here, anyway, the whole town has been evacuated."
"But..." The chief guard still hesitated.
"Just say it's my order." Ryan said lightly.
"Yes!" The chief guard no longer hesitated. He bowed and saluted, and then said loudly: "Your Excellency Ryan, you must win! Leader Wesson, leader Thor, will always thank you for your support and dedication!"
After finishing speaking, the chief guard led his ragged soldiers out of the church of the Justice Church.
Leave space to Lane et al.
Just as the chief guard went out, the scouts reported that a vanguard of about 500 Kurgan cavalry and thousands of Beastmen were approaching here.
The room became quiet, Ryan raised his head and continued to look at the map, and everyone was waiting for his decision.
"Ryan, I think we can take this opportunity to destroy this vanguard army." Callard walked up, and he pointed to the map: "Now, the attention of the Chaos army is on the city of the White Tower. You see, their front and back have already Disconnected."
"Elimination must be eliminated." Ryan nodded again and again after hearing the words, and he was still staring at the map: "But what method should be adopted? Also, how can we help Nuer?"
At this time, Su Liya came out, the female knight's long bright golden curly hair was draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were fixed on the map: "According to the speed of the Chaos army, they will arrive in Nuan in about a month." Well, what we have to do is to try to eliminate the enemy's vital forces, or those vital forces, and according to intelligence, there are only a few things that can be relied on for Chaos to continuously attack cities and castles."
"Chaos giants, plague ogres, war mammoths in the tribe, and...the war machines of the chaotic dwarves," Pfitzman said.
"The most threatening ones are the war machines of the Plague Ogre and the Chaos Dwarf. The Plague Ogre's combat effectiveness is amazing and it has become able to withstand more damage under the blessing of the evil god. Many Plague Ogres also know how to stomach Belly magic, and know how to use boulders to attack the city," Surya's beautiful and calm delicate face was full of thought: "As for the war machine of the Chaos Dwarf, it is said that it is more powerful than Nuer's war machine and the war machine made by the dwarves. What's more, the defenders of Hofn City and Graymane Castle once had great confidence in the city defense, thinking that they could hold out for at least three days, but under the artillery fire of the Chaos Dwarves, they were wiped out without holding on for more than three hours. "
"That's right, before the Chaos army arrives at Nur, we must deal with these two threats, or at least one of them!" Ryan set his sights on the entire map: "Let's deal with this group of Chaos Heralds first." military."
"Let's ambush on this trail!" Ryan pointed his finger at the road in the town of Waldbach: "The time of chaos and arrogance will soon pass!"
There was no objection to Ryan's decision. Even the Britannian knights who obeyed the spirit of chivalry agreed with Ryan's decision to ambush the enemy.
To deal with these chaotic messes, there is no need to talk about chivalry!
"Damn it, it would be great if Veronica or Teresa was here." When everyone carefully calculated how to ambush, Ryan sighed softly: "Nur's wizards are busy strengthening the city defense and fortifying the city. Magic circle, if we have the help of wizards this time, the effect of this ambush will definitely be much better."
When Ryan asked Karard to lead the knight army to support this time, Veronica or Teresa also came to support Nur, but at this time Veronica was retreating and attacking the sanctuary, while Teresa was busy Studying a new great spell that Aurora taught her, so the two Garland witches didn't have time to come to the empire to help.
"Get ready." Ryan raised his head: "Let's give these chaotic bastards an unforgettable memory!"
"yes!"
……… I don’t need to talk about the dividing line of chivalry………
About two hours later, on the outskirts of Waldbach, on the small road leading to the town.
Beastman Beastmaster Hulde is leading a huge Beastman battle group along the road, and in front of them are more than 300 rotten knights of Nurgle, led by Nurgle Champion Valdes. He has lost his human form, and even if he uses armor and iron chains to forcibly wrap himself, the gaps in the armor are constantly dripping rotten pus.
Few people know that Hulder was not a Beastman, he was an aborigine on Obion Island, who made a living by clearing chaos and corruption and guarding the relics of the ancient saints.
However, his fate was changed after a major incident. The first demon prince in history, Belak, invaded the island of Obien and corrupted a large number of Truthsayers. Huld saw the relatives, wives, daughters and compatriots of the entire tribe with his own eyes. Corrupted or killed, in rage, lush body hair and horns burst from beneath his skin, transforming him into a Chaos Beastman.
Now, the responsibilities and missions of the past have long been forgotten, and now Huld is just a Beastman warrior, looking for their own glory, promotion, and the opportunity to conquer and destroy in the name of the dark gods.
Along the way, the Rotten Knights and the Beastman battle groups gathered together, killing wantonly to prove themselves to the evil gods. They carried out countless massacres in the name of Nurgle, but due to the strong wall and clearing of the Wesson Territory, the number of their sacrifices Not enough to please the evil gods.
This chaotic vanguard is already approaching the town of Waldbach, and the bloodthirsty beasts can't wait to taste a new gluttonous feast.
"Hoo...feeling...wind...smell...wrong." Just when the town could be seen, the Beastman Beastmaster suddenly stopped in his tracks. He raised his head and made a purring sound: "That's not right!"
"What, no? No, no!" Nurgle Champion Valdez was swollen like a whole mass of pustules, his face was swollen into a round ball, and there was a curved horn on his head: " go ahead!"
"Huh~" The Beastman Beastmaster was still shaking his head, and he tried his best to order the entire procession to stop, but the chaotic command of the Beastmen and the angry roar of the Nurgle Champion made the whole team disorganized.
At this moment, an indescribable sense of fear suddenly rose from Hulder's heart. Before it had time to give a loud warning, the sound of musket guns resounded like thunder from both ends of the road!
"Boom~ boom boom boom!"
A loud, ear-piercing noise shook the forest on both sides of the road! Hundreds of musketeers and pistol cavalry appeared from the forest beside the road. Under the order of the cavalry captain and the cavalry, they mercilessly raised their hands towards the marching beastman brigade and rotten knights. firearm, pulled the trigger!
Wave after wave of shooting flooded the entire Chaos Vanguard Army. Before the beastmen could react, the huge, turbulent, suffocating dust mist drowned them out, like a rainstorm and a barrage of locust swarms. Penetrating and shooting the Beastmen on either flank of the Vanguard with ease.
"Ambush... Fight!" the Beastman Beastmaster Hulder was shouting, raising the rusty saber in his hand, he was trying his best to order his Beastman battle group to be alert and launch a counterattack, a deeper sound directly shook Hulder's eardrums .
More pioneer knights appeared from the forest. These pioneer knights from Nuer had smirks and hatred on their faces. They raised the grenade launchers produced by the Nuer military factory and raised them mercilessly.
"咻~咻咻咻~" Seventy or eighty grenades fell into the entire vanguard army formation along a perfect parabola, and the series of explosions and roars, the dust that was thrown up completely engulfed this group of bewildered chaos In the blink of an eye, dozens of rotten knights and hundreds of beastmen were engulfed by the flames of the explosion. In the explosion of blood and flames, stumps and broken arms flew horizontally, and blood spattered everywhere.
"Steady!" Hulder let out a high-pitched roar, but it didn't help the chaotic battle situation.
The entire Chaos Vanguard was stunned by what had just happened to him. Nurgle Champion Valdes was tossed from his steed and fell to the ground, too bloated for him to survive without help. Situation stand up.
Just when the morale of the Chaos Vanguard was faltering, the firepower of the large group of pistol cavalry, pioneer cavalry and old guards had stagnated. After firing all the bullets in the pistols and muskets, they had to reload.
But that's enough.
"Forward! Knights! For the ladies! For Britannia!"
"For Nur! For Goddess Mirmidia! For the Empire!"
A huge, turbulent, suffocating dust mist appeared from both sides of the forest, and a steel torrent composed of a large group of knights surged out of the forest neatly, carrying extreme hatred and fanatical belief, turning into a howling The silver tide is killing this group of chaotic vanguards!
The ground trembled, and Ryan, who rushed to the front, held up the war hammer in his hand and shouted the name of the fairy of the lake. Just behind him, the Holy Grail Knights led the Kingdom Knights and Ranger Knights and fell down with catastrophic power. In the blink of an eye, the entire Beastman battle group was torn into more than a dozen pieces!
Hulder still wanted to resist, but Ryan, who was coming towards him, had already seen the figure of the Beastman Beastmaster. The Thor's Hammer in his hand flashed with lightning, and the whole person had turned into a group of silver meteors, heading straight for the place where the Beastmaster was. The hundreds of Beastman-horned herds and big-horned herds above were all killed by the angry Britannian knights. Within a few breaths, Ryan had already killed Hulder! The hammer is down!
Hulder barely raised his saber to resist.
"啪~" Blood spilled all over the ground, and with the sound of bone cracking, Hulder's body fell to the ground weakly, and he fell on the thick ground of Wesson Territory, and let out a cry from the severe pain. With a huge wailing sound, its sword was directly smashed by Ryan with a hammer, and its arm was also broken by the way.
When Hulder tried to dodge Ryan's next attack by jumping back, a soft shout approached from a distance, and Suria, who exuded supreme power like the sun, was already approaching, and the heroic female knight raised Leon in her hand. The sword of Nassai pierced directly into the neck of the Beastman Beastmaster. The terrifying energy on the sword made Hulder howl in pain and backed up again and again.
Suria didn't give Hulder any more chances. The female knight swung Leonase's sword horizontally and wiped Hulder's neck fiercely. The Beastman and Beastmaster fell to the ground.
The entire Beastman battle group watched in horror as their Beastmaster was beheaded like a chicken, and these chaotic bastards immediately lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions in fear.
"For the lady!" Not far away, along with the shouts of fighting spirit of Karard and the imperial knights, the head of Nurgle champion Valdes also fell to the ground, and Karard waved the magic weapon in his hand expressionlessly. The sword Durandal cut the two decaying knights in two.
Right behind him, the Sun Knights and Britannian Knights charged in groups, their armor reflecting bright light in the sun, and the torrent of steel completely submerged the entire Chaos Vanguard.
The battle is over.
Thirty minutes later, Ryan and others received new information on a messy battlefield.
"The scouts are here to report that the army of chaos is besieging the city of the White Tower. There are so many enemies that they cannot be counted." The scouts said loudly.
The head of the Sun Knights, Pfitzman, came up: "Your Excellency Ryan, our knights have received news that a huge Chaos Dwarf transport team carrying a large number of war machines, especially many Chaos Hell Cannons, is approaching. In the City of the White Tower, if we can completely annihilate this Chaos Dwarf transport team and destroy these Chaos Hell Cannons through a surprise attack, we may be able to greatly reduce the long-range firepower of these Chaos Dwarves and gain an advantage for Nur’s artillery troops in the future."
"No! No!" Black-hearted Lepp also came up. The notorious mercenary baron was bloodied from fighting, and he took the initiative to put forward his opinion to Ryan: "The firepower of the chaotic dwarves is indeed powerful, but the plague ogres This is the target we have to consider. The scouts have detected that the plague ogres are following the Chaos army to attack the city of the White Tower. Their camp is now empty. I suggest that we send an elite force to sneak into the camp of the plague ogres. Bury a large amount of gunpowder into the food in the plague ogre camp and ring the dinner bell to wipe out these hungry plague ogres, so that once successful, the enemy will no longer have the support of plague ogres!"
"The city of the White Tower won't last long, and the time is not enough for us to complete two goals at the same time!" Suria frowned after hearing the report: "The Chaos Hell Cannon poses a great threat to the city defense, but the plague ogres are very dangerous to the imperial infantry. And the threat from the positions cannot be underestimated."
"Your Excellency Ryan, the decision is up to you!"
"Hmm..." Ryan thought about it carefully, and immediately made a decision.
"I decide……"
