Chapter 1647 Devil
In this battle that took place on the east bank of Lake Aosta on May 31, the two sides exchanged offensive and defensive roles many times, but neither of them could gain a decisive advantage. The tragic tug-of-war lasted from early morning to afternoon, and both sides had paid There were heavy casualties, and the fighting spirit and physical strength of the officers and soldiers were on the verge of exhaustion, but they still gritted their teeth and persisted in fighting.
As the main attacker on the battlefield, the Midgard Colonial Corps launched four charges, but failed to completely break through the enemy's line of defense.
The sun is gradually setting to the west, dusk is approaching, and the situation on the battlefield is becoming more and more unfavorable to Midgard's side.
Baron Laval knew very well that if it was delayed until nightfall, his side would still be unable to defeat the enemy and would be forced to cease fighting, leaving the enemy a chance to breathe, and the hope of victory would also slip away from his hands.
Of course, this is only an analysis of the main battlefield. If we take a wider view, take into account the other battle that started at the same time, and consider the overall situation of the two battlefields, we will come to the opposite conclusion-delaying time will be more harmful to Midgard's side. more favorable.
Lord Custis sent good news not long ago that the Volsunger regiment has surrounded the ally of the Fiish, the giant mercenary group from Calydon Island. If all goes well, the battle will be over before dark.
For the sake of safety, Baron Laval does not need to rush to attack, as long as he delays until the Volsunger Corps defeats the giant mercenaries, rushes to the main battlefield to support the Midgard Colonial Corps, and defeats General Cornwallis' troops under two attacks It is not difficult.
However, Baron Laval's self-esteem could not accept such a "victory", and could not accept the fact that without the support of the Asa people, he would not be able to win this tough battle!
In order to compete for land and living space, the aborigines brutally killed your mother.
You hate all the natives on this continent, and swore to kill this group of barbaric bandits since you were a child.
In your past military career, you have been fulfilling your childhood oath, and you have never been relentless when expelling and killing aborigines. For this reason, you have been dubbed "butcher" and "executioner" and hated by aborigines as demons.
You don't care about that, the hatred of your enemies only adds to your glory.
However, forced by the situation, you have to endure the disgust and humiliation, form an alliance with the natives, and fight together.
Still, you don't want to engage in tactical coordination with the natives, you'd rather fight on your own.
But now that you and your troops are in a bitter battle, is there no other way but to kneel down and beg the mercy of the natives, beg the group of people you hate the most, and beg your mother-killing enemy to come to rescue?
If you really kneel down and beg for mercy, what right do you have to be hostile to the natives in the future, and how should you face the spirit of your dead mother?
You will become a complete clown, and from now on those damned natives will no longer be afraid of you, and will only show contempt when your name is mentioned, like a creditor mentions his debtor!
Baron Laval sat on his horseback, clenched his fists, and his face was gloomy.
After a fierce inner struggle, he slowly spread his palm, looked at the black ring with a strange luster in his palm, gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind to wear the ring with the "Black Axe" emblem engraved on it. magic ring.
Five minutes later, Baron Laval issued an order to personally lead the troops to launch the fifth charge to the enemy's position—and it will also be the last charge of the day!
When Joan flew back to the sky above the battlefield, he was just in time to witness the end of the charge.
At this moment, Baron Laval had already led his personal guards to rush to the enemy, and a hundred yards away was the dense defensive formation formed by Fizen pikemen.
Like Lin Changqiang pointing slantingly ahead, the setting sun is coated with a layer of blood-like stern luster.
If they rushed up like this, Midgard's cavalry would definitely suffer heavy losses. But if he reined in his horse and slowed down, the momentum of the charge would plummet, repeating the results of the previous four charges, and finally forced back by the enemy's intensive shooting, ending hastily.
This time, however, Baron Laval decided to make a change.
Just as Master Fei set up his spear and waited for the Midgardian cavalry to hit him to die, Baron Laval raised his right hand to activate the magic power contained in the black ring, and twenty groups of teleportation arrays arranged in parallel suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him, scarlet The light shot up from the ground, as if the gate of the abyss had been opened, and twenty tall and hideous figures emerged from the teleportation array.
Under the surprised gazes of the officers and soldiers on both sides, the phantoms in the teleportation array changed from blurry to solid, presenting a terrifying image.
This group of monsters looked like mutated centaurs, standing nearly ten feet tall. The tall and sturdy horse and human torsos were tightly wrapped in black armor engraved with strange runes. There were holes on both sides of the helmet, protruding A pair of thick and twisted black horns showed the identity of these summoned creatures as demons.
In addition to the armor they wear all over their bodies, these demons from the bottomless abyss are also mobile "arsenals" - with longbows on their backs, heavy flails around their waists, and black lances in both hands.
Seeing this scene in the air, Joan felt the evil aura emanating from the group of centaur-like monsters. Surprised, he also recalled seeing it in the "Abyss Creatures Subvolume" of "Vares Monster Guide". Similar illustrations.
After a little recollection, Joan remembered that this kind of monster was called "Iron Cavalry Demon", also known as "Abyss Iron Cavalry", and it was the best choice for demon lords to form cavalry troops.
...
Reconnaissance target: cavalier (deep creature, Tanari subspecies, evil subspecies, chaotic subspecies)
Attributes: Strength 24, Dexterity 18, Constitution 21, Intelligence 10, Wisdom 12, Charisma 13
...
The investigation results of "Advanced Internal Vision" confirmed Joan's guess, but he still couldn't figure out what kind of spell or magic item did Baron Laval use to summon 20 powerful iron cavalry demons in one go?
Just when he was wondering, the cavalry demon summoned by Baron Laval to the front of the two armies could no longer restrain his ferocious and tyrannical nature. He raised his lance and galloped like twenty sharp black knives, straight at Fei. Real people's positions.
In just a blink of an eye, the cavalry demons had already rushed to the front of the position. Facing the dense spears, the group of demons did not slow down, they all pointed forward with their left hands, and the fingertips shot out sparkling lightning.
Twenty "lightning beams" were like comb teeth arranged in parallel, blasting the Feizhen infantry phalanx through twenty straight passages.
Wherever the lightning passed, all the pikemen in the front row and the riflemen in the back row were knocked down, their bodies were scorched black from the electricity, and most of them were killed on the spot.
