Chapter 1186 The Impassable Moat
Plop! Plop!
And the bamboo rafts fell apart and turned into logs, and the soldiers of the War Legion above them were naturally not much better.
With the sound of splashing, many people fell into the rushing river without any warning.
On the contrary, there were a few clever soldiers of the war legion who jumped before the raft fell apart, and then they broke away from the river with their fighting spirit and flew in mid-air.
When the other soldiers saw this, as long as they didn't sink to the bottom of the river, some soldiers immediately followed suit and wanted to use their fighting spirit to fly into the air.
It's just that these soldiers who reacted a little slower wanted to escape, but they had no hope.
Because the skeleton soldiers below were already ready.
The soldiers who fell into the water just flew away when several dead bones sprang out from below, directly grabbing their ankles.
"Ah, help!"
With the exclamation, these soldiers were completely pulled into the bottom of the river the next moment.
And when these soldiers fell into the bottom of the river, they were even more shocked to discover that the bottom of the river had long been occupied by dark creatures.
The densely packed dark skeletons have already covered the bottom of the river.
The average height of those beings was only 1.89 meters, and the reason why they were able to stick out of the water so easily was because they were stacked on top of each other like an arhat.
With so many dark creatures, just looking at them can make one's hair stand on end.
Of course, what they could see was only for a moment, and then due to the lack of oxygen and the attack of dark creatures, these war legionnaires who were dragged into the bottom of the river soon lost their lives.
And such scenes are appearing in large swaths on the river at this time.
Of the thousands of rafts, it can be said that few survived, and only about 10% of them finally landed safely.
As for the 90% soldiers who survived, only less than 20% survived.
And the incident on the river happened so suddenly that neither side had reacted yet.
After a while, the high priests of the Kingdom of God came back to their senses.
"This...this...wasn't my eyes dazzled just now, there was a blackboard skeleton at the bottom of the river!"
Several high priests guarding the bridge spoke in a daze.
They didn't know until now that Narante had subdued the dark creatures.
"Several, this is not a dream, because it is indeed a dark creature, and it is also the dark creature of Baron Nalante!"
"Let me just say, it turns out that Baron Narant's follow-up plan is dark creatures. It turns out that they have sneaked into the river long ago, waiting to give these intruders a fatal blow!"
Although several high priests guarding the bridge did not know the origin of the dark creature, but the two high priests who came to support from the kingdom of the god of fire did know.
"Baron Narant's dark creature?"
"That's right, you also know that apart from these human invaders, our Io Continent and the Sacred Continent were also attacked by the Death Continent..."
Immediately afterwards, the two supporting high priests immediately told several people the specific process of Nalante's surrender of the dark creature.
As for them, they have also heard about them from Dagmar High Priest and others.
"There is such a thing, Baron Nalante is too powerful!"
The high priests of the Kingdom of God were stunned when they heard this. It was the first time they heard that dark creatures could also be subdued.
Compared with the situation where the High Priest of the Kingdom of God is happy because of an accident.
The faces of the invaders on the other side of the river were as gloomy as water.
All of them stared at the middle of the river with red eyes and wide eyes, and their lips trembled uncontrollably.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, why are there dark creatures here, and they hide at the bottom of the river to attack us!"
The leaders of several invaders still seem to be dreaming.
Immediately, several people turned their gazes to the divine envoy at the side.
The angel's face was also ugly, but he didn't yell like them.
Instead, he flew up immediately, and then headed towards the river bank.
When he came to the bank of the river, the envoy immediately drew out his long sword, and then slashed towards the middle of the river.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Following the divine envoy's slash, waves of waves exploded on the surface of the river.
Along with the waves, there were still many dead bones and blood surging up.
These dry bones are naturally the dark skeletons, and the blood is from the soldiers of the war legion.
After slashing more than twenty swords in a row, the envoy finally stopped with an ugly expression.
Because although the sword he slashed was powerful, it was because these dark creatures were hiding at the bottom of the river, and they couldn't see the target clearly.
Therefore, every sword slash by this envoy is just a blind bombardment.
The power is due to the blocking and absorption of the water flow, and it can only hurt a straight line affected by the sword light.
For the densely packed dark creatures at the bottom of the river, these twenty times of slashing were not as damaging as a round of salvos from a hundred magic cannons.
The envoy stayed in the air for a moment before returning to its original position.
Only at this time did the invaders dare to ask cautiously, "My lord envoy, now that the raft has been destroyed, should we increase the support from the stone bridge?"
"Or directly let the legionnaires fly from the air to the opposite shore?"
Now that the other side already has half of the troops, the invader commanders have no choice.
It is necessary to find a way to project troops to the battlefield on the other side as much as possible, so as to avoid too many casualties among the soldiers on the other side.
"The stone bridge is temporarily blocked by the enemy, so let the legionnaires try to fly across the river!"
The envoy responded in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
"Yes, my lord envoy!"
Several intruder leaders heard the words and immediately went to make arrangements.
The few soldiers who had escaped from the raft had already crossed the river safely after vacating. This is why several invader leaders thought of a way to let the soldiers fly over directly.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would not choose to take such risks.
Soon, following the order, the team that had been waiting by the river to be loaded on the raft got the order, and began to fly to the other side of the river with fighting spirit.
Of course, for safety reasons, these teams were divided into several batches.
There are a total of 5,000 people in each batch, so that accidents can be avoided to the greatest extent.
And soon, the leaders of the invaders had to feel grateful for their caution.
Because just when the first batch of soldiers started to fly over, they only flew more than a hundred meters and came to the middle of the river.
Suddenly, the originally calm river suddenly surged.
The upper bodies of dark skeletons emerged from the river one by one.
And each of these dark skeletons held either a longbow or a wooden staff in their hands.
"Ah, damn it, there's an ambush!"
"Everyone, fly over quickly, there is an ambush below!"
For the sudden situation on the river, the legionnaires flying in the air were naturally the first to discover it.
Then one by one shouted in panic, and even some of them were so frightened that they were unstable.
Whoosh whoosh!
Before they could make any more reactions, with howling sounds, arrows or a small number of fireballs formed a firepower net, covering the sky tens of meters high.
If it is on flat ground, the attacks of these lowest-level dark creatures will not pose any threat to the soldiers of the sky knights.
All it takes is an easy dodge to dodge.
But at this time, the soldiers of these war legions were hanging in the air.
To be honest, the flying ability of many soldiers is at the rookie level, following the roar of arrows.
In the panic, many of them lost their center of gravity, and then fell headlong into the river.
Only a small number of experienced soldiers can stabilize their figure and fly quickly after evading.
However, this part only accounted for less than 1,000 people out of 5,000 people.
Therefore, apart from these more than a thousand people, there are only a few hundred legionnaires who are smarter.
I wished to be hit by the dark skull, but I didn't dare to dodge quickly at will, causing my body to fall.
In the end, of the 5,000-strong invader army, only a mere 1,500 people crossed the river.
Calculated, the loss rate actually reached 70%.
"Damn it, how did these dark creatures appear, and why did they deliberately target our war legion!"
Faced with this second wave of defeats, the leaders of the invaders legion burst out with blue veins.
It's not that they haven't encountered dark creatures, and even they have personally solved several invading dead continents in the past.
In this way, they know that the dark creatures will not deliberately target a certain creature camp, but any living creature they encounter will become their enemy.
But everyone couldn't figure it out no matter what, but on this backward continent, they encountered such a strange thing.
"Look, there are also dark creatures appearing over there!"
At this moment, another invader leader suddenly exclaimed.
It turned out that in the lower reaches of the river, there were already dark creatures slowly approaching the opposite battlefield.
"Damn it, so many, could it be that the dark creatures from the entire Death Continent have come here?"
"Then why have you never heard of those captured God's Kingdom Guard soldiers before?"
Seeing the appearance of those dark creatures, the other invader leaders were taken aback.
Because the dark creatures coming from afar are no longer just low-level dark creatures like dark skulls.
On the contrary, from low to high, including the huge mouth of the abyss, the dark python or the dark bone dragon, it is definitely a complete army of dark creatures.
A dark creature of this scale can only mean that this land has been invaded by the continent of death.
But if it really invaded, they couldn't have heard of it before,
"Notice, let the legionnaires on the other side of the river pay attention to guard against dark creatures, and try to let these guards of the kingdom of God encounter dark creatures head-on!"
At this moment, the envoy issued an order to everyone.
Seeing so many dark creatures appear, even at this moment, they vaguely felt that maybe the dark skulls dealt with them before was just a coincidence.
Maybe they happened to be crossing the river, so they became the main targets of the dark creatures hiding in the river.
"Yes, my lord envoy!"
Several invader leaders responded immediately, and soon sent a warning to the troops on the other side through the horn.
Of course, despite the warning, they will soon know that everything they have done is unnecessary.
Because those dark creatures are completely directed at them.
Even if they responded in advance, the intentional adjustment of the formation made the Divine Kingdom Guards become the direction to face the dark creatures.
But in the end, when the dark creatures arrived close to the divine kingdom guards, they did not attack them.
Instead, they bypassed the guards of the Kingdom of God and went straight to the soldiers of the War Legion.
"This... this... the dark creature is really a trick from the other side, and the dark creature is coming for us!"
As the dark creatures joined the battle group and began to attack the legionnaires, the leaders of the invaders finally confirmed in disbelief that the dark creatures had really allied with the guards of the Kingdom of God on the opposite side.
"My lord, the God of War, how did those damn God's Kingdom guards do it, how did they make dark creatures their allies?"
"Could it be that these kingdoms of God believe in the damn Void Demon God?"
These intruder commanders feel that the three views have collapsed, and they really don't understand why this happened.
Of course, the main reason why they are so difficult to accept is that these dark creatures are not helping them.
For example, the high priests of the Kingdom of God on the opposite side accepted this fact very easily at this time.
And seeing that with the addition of dark creatures, their guards of the Kingdom of God began to gain the upper hand, and the high priests of the Kingdom of God were even more amazed.
"This feeling is really amazing. I never thought that one day we would fight side by side with dark creatures!"
"Yeah, this feeling is really amazing. The dark bone dragon passed over my head just now, and I almost couldn't help raising my long sword to defend myself!"
All the high priests of the Kingdom of God were fighting in amazement.
"By the way, there are also the dark creatures in the river. Although they are only the lowest-level dark skeletons, they also played the biggest role. They directly blocked the possibility of the enemy crossing the river. It simply made this river an intrusion the heavenly moat of those who
"Yeah, I can only say that Baron Narante's arrangement is really reasonable and powerful."
"Fortunately, I was worried just now whether it was risky for Baron Narant to let us stay and fight the enemy."
"Now it seems that this is not risky at all, because everything is under the control of Baron Nalante!"
While being amazed, the High Priest of the Kingdom of God did not forget to praise Nalante.
The most important thing is that the occupancy has slowly tilted towards them at this time, and everyone finally has the confidence to win.
Now that they have confidence, the previous distrust of Nalante naturally made everyone feel ashamed.
Whoosh!
But at this moment, a sudden scream interrupted everyone's excited chat.
"No, it was the envoy who made the move!"
It turned out that watching the situation turn around a few times.
Because the follow-up team couldn't cross the river, and there were a large number of dark creatures supporting them, the envoy finally couldn't sit still anymore, and was ready to do it himself, and complete the previous preparation to turn the tide of the battle by himself.
Not to mention, with the strength of the envoy, it is still possible to reverse the current situation.
First of all, he came towards the high priests of the kingdom of God at the bridgehead.
Just solve a group of high priests of the kingdom of God, and then defeat the guards of the kingdom of God blocking the bridge.
The follow-up support of the War Legion will be able to cross the river directly. Even if there are so many dark creatures, it may not be able to defeat their War Legion.
