Chapter 101, Fierce Battle! Intertwined Battlefield and Command 3
Just as Knight Crow was chanting, he focused his eyes and saw in the distance a baron's bodyguard who was distracting the monster's attention. In the air behind him, a particularly cunning harpy monster did not launch an attack from the front of the human. The attack took a direction that ordinary people would never realize.
The back of the head is tilted upward fifty or sixty degrees.
Whether you look up or turn your head to look behind you, this position is an absolute blind spot that normal people cannot realize. Logically speaking, when acting as a team at this time, you have to rely on the sight of your companions to make up for the blind spot when you are alone.
But Knight Crow learned at noon that this monster could deafen the warriors who fought it.
At this time, even if other people saw it, they could not shout or speak to remind the baron's guard who was about to be tricked.
This is not okay.
When he thought of this, Knight Crow immediately staggered his legs forward and backward, turned his body sideways and stretched back the throwing spear held in his right hand.
The index and middle fingers of his free left hand were extended straight forward, following the figure of the monster that was attacking insidiously.
His eyes passed over the fingers of his left hand and formed a straight line with the monster in the distance.
What showed in his eyes was a calm killing intent.
In the distance, the insidious monster that was about to pounce on humans suddenly became cold all over. A feeling it had never experienced before in its life made it tremble.
There seems to be a moving cold feeling lingering on the right side of the body.
If it was a human who often fought, it would definitely know that this was the murderous gaze coming from the strong. But it wasn't, so his dull brain brushed off the uncomfortable feeling, and even the monster's instinct failed to give him a truly valuable reminder.
This is a good opportunity. Pounce down and kill or capture the human being. In this way, the first prize will be yours!
The leader will definitely reward himself. He will mate with the strongest female, enjoy a human head alone, and taste the nourishing brains and crisp eyeballs.
Of course, non-human ones are also acceptable, as are sheep.
Meritorious service is now, now, ah, pounce!
"Yah!"
After a brief hesitation, this insidious harpy stopped waiting, for fear that the first kill would be snatched away by other companions. The wings retracted and shook, and the whole body fell forward and downward quickly.
At the same time, the sharp claws are stretched forward and raised, and each claw is spread as far apart as possible to increase the chance of hitting during the impact.
After all, it is a melee at this time. Whether it is itself or the various human prey below, they are constantly moving and changing directions. Only before their claws can grasp the prey, they have to constantly adjust their direction and speed to increase the success of hunting. probability.
What the monsters didn't know was that not far from them, in the center of the gathering of humans, something that broke the air due to swinging was approaching rapidly. The speed of the slender thing was only slightly slower than the sound.
Because of this, the moment before the insidious monster is about to succeed.
When it opened its mouth full of sharp teeth in excitement, it just felt something was wrong on the right side of its body, and then its consciousness suddenly disappeared. The whole body seemed to be kicked by a horse's leg. The body folded up from the middle and faced heavily. He was knocked away from the other side and flipped out.
Whoosh! boom--
At this time, as the monster flipped and hit the ground, the sound of the standard throwing gun made by the craftsman was heard in the distance.
"Yah!"
"Gah?"
Several harpies around them were frightened and immediately flapped their wings to raise their altitude, not daring to get too close to the ground to attack humans.
Then the monsters with excellent eyesight followed the direction of the sound and saw a metal human with a unique aura in the distance. But when these monsters saw the dense crowd of other humans around the metal human, they didn't dare to fly over to die like that.
You can fight, but you can't just go up and die. The leader is an old guy. He once participated in other old guys' crusade against the human army, and often taught them how to fight with so many humans.
Wait a minute, there are still too few ‘weapons’ and companions, so wait a minute.
-
The harpy that fell to the ground got up from the ground with a cry.
It shook its head, and its vision gradually returned from black to gray. Even when it looked around, there were still many flashing white dots flying in the field of vision.
Lingguai feels so uncomfortable.
It wanted to get up, but it vomited a lot of blood from its smelly sharp teeth. When it looked down, it was discovered that something had penetrated its chest from the right rib, directly piercing its entire chest horizontally, and then It penetrated through the left side of the body.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Although this was not a real fatal injury, it still made its body uncomfortable and weak. Its wings were stretched softly to the ground, and the whole monster was squatting in the depression in the grass, dangling.
At this time, a blue light jumped out from the corner of its sight.
A metal human riding a horse is holding a throwing spear in one hand and twirling and waving a blue two-handed ax with the other hand. He is avoiding the harpy leader behind him who is rushing down frantically, while tenaciously looking for opportunities to attack it. near.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—suffer death, monsters!"
The young man's voice was slightly broken, shouting randomly in a human language that the monsters could not understand, and he charged forward on horseback.
The mouth under Kil's visor was shouting wildly, and the helmet kept twisting back and forth, rubbing the neck armor of the armor and making a sharp metal knocking sound.
He kept checking the real-time situation of the unknown downed monsters in front of him, and also kept looking at the attack trajectory of the lingering monsters behind him.
Whenever the monster pounced down, Kil immediately jerked the horse's reins, causing the horse to turn sharply to avoid the monster's hook-like pounce.
He had successfully dodged it the previous few times, but this time, the strong harpy monster chasing behind him seemed to be particularly angry, and in his anger he saw through the human's dodge method.
This time, the flying monster used its rich combat experience to temporarily adjust its instinctive movements of pounce.
It no longer retracts its wings and falls diagonally, but flaps its wings backwards, using a smoother arc to attack the metal human on horseback.
Kil threw the throwing spear in his hand back hard, but the harpy just shook his head slightly, letting the head pass, but let the throwing spear thrown by the human pierce its thick shoulder.
The throwing spear stuck on the shoulder was fluttered away with the movement of the shoulder muscles as it flapped its wings again.
"Damn it!" Kil cursed, and then threw his right arm behind him, making a clanging sound and the sound of metal colliding with the claws of the attacking monster.
But Yue Shui's head was even better, and the sound of metal collision was followed by the sound of tearing flesh and blood.
One claw, like a metal dagger, turned around and fell into the grass on the ground, directly piercing the grass with the sharp blade facing downwards.
But even after such a fight, Keir felt uncomfortable.
Although the monster's claws were blocked by the axe, at the moment when the two collided, the angry monster suddenly slammed its wide right wing down towards Kil's body.
Boom!
The powerful and heavy blow was like a heavy hammer hitting the body. Kil's eyes went black for a while, and something surged up from his chest and down his neck. But he gritted his teeth hard, stared at his mouth with his tongue, and swallowed the suspicious mixture of sour, burning and iron-smelling liquid.
Pain suddenly arose in his back, and Kiel's counterattack was merciless.
He turned the edge of the ax with his right hand and threw it upward.
It's a pity that this monster is very experienced in fighting, and it actually used the force of the heavy blow to Kil's back to move his body back slightly. He dodged the ax attack that Keir counterattacked.
The monster then vibrated its wings, and a pair of long and powerful claws stretched out to grab Keir's body. Large sparks burst out, and multiple armor plates were heavily scratched with intruding dents.
Kiel grabbed the horse's reins with his left hand and pulled hard.
He changed the direction of the horse's running and let the monster in the air behind him scratch the air.
As soon as Kil was free, he glared at the monster fiercely, then raised the ax in his right hand, pouring all his fighting spirit and emotions into it, telling the weapon what he thought.
‘Kill the monster! ’
‘Kill this monster in front of you! This is a great opportunity! ’
"Kill this monster!"
Finally, he even yelled out his thoughts loudly.
The monster that was stared at and roared by Kil suddenly realized it and twisted its body to one side. Before it could recover from the white spots in its eyes and the pain on its body, all it could see was blue. A piece of color.
Swish——
The horse struggled to run past the crater where the monster fell. Kil, who was riding the horse, roared and swung the ax he raised heavily from behind.
The ax, which glowed with a large amount of blue light, passed diagonally across the monster's hard head like chopping wood.
Kil keenly felt that there was no resistance when his hand passed across the monster's head, but when he swung it upwards, the ax brought an extra sense of delay that shouldn't have been there.
He turned his head and glanced around. He didn't see anything, but he felt that the blue light on the surface of the ax was suspiciously deformed. But his ears unexpectedly heard a clear chewing sound coming from the direction of the ax in the deafened silence.
It seemed like the tearing and chewing sounds of multiple beasts fighting for food.
strangeness?
He seemed to realize something.
Then Kiel saw two horses running away in front of him. He immediately kicked the horse's belly and accelerated to catch up to rescue him. At the same time, he asked these two men to help him too.
-
One of the baron's guards looked panicked, panting heavily, and nervously looked at his fellow guards beside him.
The two of them helped each other escape from the aerial attack by the harpies chasing each other from behind.
The baron's guard saw his companion's mouth opening and closing, as if he was saying something loudly, but the problem was, he was deaf!
He is deaf!
Although this injury could be healed by the priests accompanying the army after the battle, it was impossible for him to heal on his own on the battlefield.
"What did you say? I can't hear you! Stop shouting! Please! Stop shouting!"
He yelled in panic, but his companion's expression showed that he didn't understand what he was saying either.
‘What are your companions saying? ’
The next moment, his eyes widened because his companion who was riding side by side was actually crazy! He just rode his horse and pounced on the opponent from his own saddle!
crazy!
crazy!
Subconsciously, the baron's guard placed the third throwing spear in his hand across the opponent's path.
‘Block him! No matter what this madman wants to do! ’
As soon as his thoughts changed, he was about to push the opponent, but the companion who rushed towards him directly grabbed the gun pole lying in front of him in the air, grabbed it with both hands, and fell to the ground with his body, knocking the baron with him. The bodyguard was also taken off the saddle.
He subconsciously pulled the heavy protective boots out of the stirrups, fearing that if someone dragged him into the water, the worst situation would happen: his feet would be caught in the stirrups, and he would be dragged directly under the horse, or he would be run away. The horses were trampled to death or dragged alive to the ground.
Of course, the greater possibility is that he will be treated as a helpless target by the monster in such a ridiculous way, and after playing with it, his body will be broken into several pieces.
The two of them were holding on to the lance pole in front of them. As they rolled off their horses, the baron's guard used his free hand to give the other a heavy blow on the face.
"Make you crazy and attack me!"
The man who was beaten looked confused and seemed to be misunderstood.
Gurgling.
Both of them were wearing guards' armor, and both of them were strong men, and the ground was soft grass.
Therefore, after rolling to the ground, the two people who put their legs away and lowered their heads were not seriously injured.
After a few laps, the two of them stopped on the ground rubbing against the soft green grass.
"ah----"
The baron's guard who was thrown off his horse looked like he was crazy. He got up from the grass first and rushed towards his 'companion'.
He put one hand on the opponent's armored chest, and raised the other hand high into a clenched fist, which was about to be knocked down in the next second.
Although you and I usually have a good relationship, at this critical moment, you framed me for falling off my horse. I can't even care about the monster. I have to give you a taste of my fist even if I die!
However, he raised his fist and remained motionless.
One second, two seconds.
The originally angry baron's guard raised his head and looked forward.
The horse he was originally riding was no longer on the ground.
it turns out.
That horse turned out to be.
He was caught from the side by four harpies! Flap your huge wings! It was dragged directly from the ground! Off the ground!
It's flying!
The whole horse was caught by the monster and flew up.
He was stunned. Not only him, but also his horse, the captured horse, neighed and barked wildly. No matter who listens, no one will hear the slightest bit of joy and novelty of flying off the ground from this panicked neighing.
Of course, it can't be said that it's not new, but anyone caught and carried away by a monster like this should be desperate.
Kil was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that he saw several monsters attacking and attacking at the same time a moment ago. These monsters were actually paying such attention.
Picture what?
These monsters.
At this moment, Kil's mind was spinning and his spirit was in his heart.
It only took a moment to guess what the monsters were thinking.
"Oops! They actually plan to do this!"
-
"No! Those monsters actually have such a plan! Yes, yes, yes, it should be so. It should be said that they are indeed a group of monsters that can dominate an area. This seemingly crazy, but actually correct way is to deal with humans. This kind of target with limited mobility is the most correct combat strategy."
On the carriage, Knight Crow was talking to himself. While sighing, he immediately realized what the monsters were planning.
Those monsters have never paid much attention to Kiel and his cavalry. In other words, they are just doing preliminary tasks against the army by attacking with Kiel and his cavalry.
They are not stupid beasts, but truly cunning monsters.
Those monsters planned to kill or control Kiel's corpses and the corpses of the war horses, fly them over the army, and then drop hundreds of kilograms of warrior corpses and hundreds of kilograms of war horse corpses.
Use these 'flesh bombing' methods to attack human armies that cannot attack high altitudes.
At this point, Knight Crow should have gone to war immediately, but he glanced at the local caravan that was gradually retreating on the way the army was coming, and there were more eagles flying in the wind from the direction of the local caravan. Strange person.
"Not the time."
He muttered silently, and then the knight turned his head to look in the direction of the militia team at the front of the army. His mouth contained part of the life energy, and he spoke as calmly as possible to Knight Rumi in that direction.
"Knight Rumi, rush to the front line and defeat the swarm of harpies. Order three!"
For some reason, Knight Crow mixed in the normal command order with a superfluous word that no one else could understand.
Order three.
A large number of militiamen heard these two words and were confused.
But after Knight Rumi, who had just brought people closer to the main body of the army, heard this, his face under his helmet and visor suddenly became serious.
Order three.
That is the command structure of the Holy Holth Kingdom Army, inherited from the Imperial Legion.
The empire seemed powerful and had a large population, but in fact, not only externally, but internally there were frequent wars. Therefore, during the months and years of fighting, the armies of the empire refined some special orders within the battle order system that ordinary people knew.
Order 1: Move forward in a decisive battle.
Order 2: I am the only one on the battlefield, and I will kill every enemy I encounter.
Command 3: The turning point is in front, turn quickly.
Order 4: The enemy chieftain advances rashly, no matter the cost.
Order 5: There is a lot of fog, be cautious and wait for changes.
Order 6: The order was wrong, only follow the example.
Order 7: Get ready and retreat, don’t move too fast.
Order 8: Evacuate urgently, regardless of anything else.
Order 9: Forbidden spell magic, disperse urgently.
Order 10: The troops commit suicide and the dead meet the enemy.
In addition to the ten commonly used orders, there are also special supplementary orders for each army in each imperial army.
Once this order is issued, the ordered team must comply until the same commander confirms the cancellation.
At this time, Knight Rumi had just received the order, so he pulled up his horse and stood up, and then shouted: "Follow Knight Crow's instructions. I will go to the front line to fight."
After saying that, his war horse jumped, passed over the layers of soldiers more than ten meters, and landed heavily on the land outside the soldiers' team, stirring up a large area of broken grass.
Then he drove his horse to run as fast as possible.
He took aim with the throwing gun in his hand and threw it directly towards the nearest flying monster.
In his eyes, the person who could make Knight Crow say Order Three was naturally the weird scene: the monsters grabbed a horse and gradually flapped their wings to rise higher and higher.
But just when he didn't know if he could make it in time, a blue light gradually lit up.
