Chapter 404 Battle of Fort Nissisi (IV)
The cold arrows constantly shot from the depths of the dense forest harvested the lives of the wolf man.
And those gnolls who tried to escape from the battlefield were hindered by the dense bushes and vines, and couldn't quickly withdraw from the range of the ambushers. on the way.
In fact, even Alpha himself has no time to care about the lives of others at this time.
The sound of footsteps in the forest quickly approached from far to near, making her suddenly realize that she was being watched by someone, and quickly shrank to hide in the crown of the tree.
Almost at the same time, several arrows passed by, startling her into a cold sweat.
"Bitch-headed bitch, get out of here!"
Magni raised his battle ax high to activate "Rage", roared and rushed up, chopping down the big tree that Alpha was living in with one axe.
The tree trunk groaned and fell to one side, and Alpha turned over in a volley and jumped out of the canopy.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, she realized that the strong man of the Asa clan rushed up again with his tomahawk raised high.
"Damn madman, don't be an old lady and easy to bully!"
Alpha gritted his teeth, with anger burning in his eyes, he flicked his wrist and threw out the Chaos Chain Hammer, and the three hammers smashed towards Magni with the rattling chains.
However, when the other party raised his left hand, the leather glove shone slightly, and a wide and heavy steel shield appeared in his palm like magic, blocking all three chain hammers, and swung the battle ax with his right hand, and slashed at him head-on.
The attack range of the chain hammer is farther than that of ordinary melee weapons. At the same time, it also has the disadvantage of being "out of reach". Tomahawk hacking.
The defeated battle ax hit the ground heavily, and a thunderous bang suddenly erupted, causing Alpha's ears to buzz and her eyes to turn black, and she almost passed out on the spot. Mouth full of mud.
"Ahem... Bah! What the hell!"
The Gnoll Queen struggled and jumped up, looking at Magni with surprise.
"You lunatic, are you a 'barbarian warrior' or a 'paladin'?!"
If the opponent is a paladin, it is impossible to explain why he can actively enter the "furious" state, and by making himself crazy, he can achieve the purpose of greatly improving his combat power.
If the opponent is a barbarian warrior, why can he still cast the unique divine art "Thunder Slash" of the "Paladin" in a berserk state?
This powerful and weird opponent made Alpha feel a little scared.
Magni, who fell into a "fury", was like a humanoid fighting machine, ignoring the questioning from the Gnoll Queen, and just swung his tomahawk to attack wildly.
The more Alpha fights, the more frightened she becomes. This kind of fighting method that relies on brute force is too rough, and it is especially unfriendly to a slender woman like her. If she continues to fight, she may suffer a big loss.
Thinking of this, Alpha swung the chain hammer to fend off the battle axe, flipped back a series of dizzying somersaults, pulled away the distance from Magni, freed his hands to touch the magic collar, quickly disappeared, and grabbed the Ni turned around and got into the bushes before catching up, and quickly fled the battlefield.
"Rage" is actually a secret method of self-hypnosis meditation.
People who fall into a state of rage are not afraid of pain, irritable and aggressive, and their corresponding thinking ability will also decline.
"Cord fighters" like Magni are exceptions, protected by divine grace, not only able to cast spells in a berserk state, but also retain most of their sanity.
Seeing that Alpha's figure disappeared out of thin air, he immediately guessed that she had cast the "invisibility technique", so he did not rush after her recklessly. He pricked up his ears to listen to the movement around him, and guarded against the Gnoll Queen's sneak attack on him under the cover of the "invisibility technique".
After observing quietly for a while, Magni confirmed that Alpha had left quietly, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, lifted the "furious" state, and his face could not hide his fatigue.
At this time, the jackals who had retreated from the high ground had already escaped from the ambush area despite the arrow rain from the Asa hunting cavalry, and only dozens of corpses remained at the scene.
Magni wanted to lead his subordinates to chase after him, but suddenly Joan's voice came from his ear.
"Brother Magni, the regular sea blue army is moving towards your area. In order to avoid being surrounded, please lead the team back to the fortress as soon as possible."
Magni knew that it was Joan who had detected the movement of the enemy army in the air, so he used the "message technique" to send a warning in time, and quickly blew the horn to summon Asa Hunter to mount his horse and retreat back to his own army's position against the clock.
Joan was still worried after sending a letter to Magni, and then cast a spell to report the situation changes on the battlefield to Lieutenant Colonel Vasa.
The Gnoll Corps was ambushed by the Asa Hunters, and fled the highlands after suffering heavy casualties. At the same time, General Jumonville led the regular sea blue army to meet the retreating Jackals and tried to cut off the retreat of the Asa Hunters.
General Jumonville's troops consisted of 500 sea blue cavalry. If they were overtaken by this mobile and impactful force, it would be difficult for Magny's troops to get rid of the bad luck of being surrounded.
After George Vasa received Joan's message, he responded immediately and personally led the knights out of the city to meet the Asa hunters.
The three troops on the battlefield are all racing against time to urge their horses to gallop.
People on the ground are limited by their viewing angles and cannot know the exact dynamics of their opponents. The only thing they can do is to strive to be faster than their opponents.
Joan spread his wings and soared in the sky, looking down at the vast land where the flames of war were raging, like an outsider looking at a chessboard, seeing clearly the progress of the troops from all sides.
If there are no other variables, Magny's troops will be overtaken by the Jumonville Corps before joining forces with the Vasa Knights. A scuffle broke out outside the walls of the West Fort.
General Jumonville was willing to accept such an encounter in the wild, but for the Vasa Corps, which was at an absolute disadvantage and lost the protection of the city walls and fortresses, this was obviously not a good opportunity for a decisive battle.
Even if Lieutenant Colonel Vasa was able to rescue Magni and his party in the end, he would have to pay a heavy price in casualties. In the worst case, he might even be taken by the enemy to attack the fortress and end up in complete defeat.
The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and the advantage a few minutes ago suddenly turned into a disadvantage. This constituted a great test for the experience and determination of the commanders of both sides.
Despite his reluctance, Joan had to admit that Louis Jumonville was worthy of being a famous general of Seablue, and he was at least one rank higher than all his own officers including George Vassar, regardless of command experience or impromptu decision-making.
If the situation on the battlefield is allowed to evolve according to its inherent laws, the fall of Nissei Fortress will be inevitable.
At this moment of urgency, Joan knew that he had to do something to try to reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.
"There is no other way but to try to fight." Joan said to herself in her heart.
