Chapter 831: First Formation
The Twisted Nightmare above is not dead, as if living in the Flesh Tower, half of the energy body stood up from above, waving frantically towards the distance.
The direction they were rushing in was nothing but the direction where the Pulsebroken Blood Fort was located.
If someone looked down from the high altitude of the Broken Blood Castle, they could find that the shadow energy towards the side of the Flesh Tower suddenly boiled, and the speed of spreading to this side increased significantly.
The closer the point is to the straight line, the greater the invisible suction, and the faster the flying speed, and finally turned into a huge wave of mist hundreds of meters wide and more than ten meters high, faster than a fierce horse. Speed, looking at the tower of flesh and blood began to run wildly.
The twisted nightmare inside also seemed to be guided, running wildly and cheering together with this huge wave of strange fog.
The nature of aggression and expansion has been integrated into the bones of Twisted Nightmare.
Once a new battlefield is opened, they will be the first to charge forward, and there is no need for Xiao En and the others to deliberately lure them.
The whole process went smoothly beyond Sean's imagination.
After careful consideration, it is not surprising.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they are now using the power of the evil god in a disguised form.
The rest is much simpler.
How fast they acquire and transport the twisted nightmare of flesh and blood is how fast the dividing line of the mist spreads.
In order not to startle the enemy, except for the first tentative Flesh Tower, which was built separately, the rest of the Flesh Towers began to break ground at the same time when the raw materials were ready, and they chose to start in the evening. .
The next day, when everyone woke up, a 300-kilometer-long and 10-kilometer-wide barrier of strange fog had already crossed the wilderness in the middle of the Byron Union.
"What's going on? The strange fog that shrouded the Blood Fortress? How did it spread here?"
"Could it be that the strange fog over there is out of control again?"
"Hasn't the blood sacrifice stopped? Why is the mist still spreading?"
"Check, quickly find out for me, what's going on?"
Facing the dividing line of the strange fog that suddenly appeared, except for Sophie Liya who was notified in advance, she was not surprised.
Not only was Chief Hairidong in disarray, but even King Laurie's new royal court was in disarray.
Although they didn't think so much like Grand Duke Cedric, they would instinctively feel uneasy when there was such a strange and uncontrolled area in their kingdom.
"This must be Shawn and Cedric's tricks."
"This should be a measure aimed at us. It will completely cut off the possibility of us uniting with Chief Hairidong. No, Chief Hairidong is going to be in danger. We must send someone to warn them."
"How to warn? Could it be that this is the method of the lord of the Eternal Night Army, in order to prompt them to fight with their main force, make them completely abandon the eastern front, withdraw to the grassland and join us? If this is done, I am afraid it will have an effect The opposite effect."
"Are we completely ignoring it?"
"Do your best! We are still careless. We only want to restrain Xiao En and prevent them from sending those heroic souls to join the war, but we did not expect that they will use this disguised method to join the war. We must speed up the training of our heroic soul soldiers. Otherwise we will be in a passive position everywhere.”
The Ulan Bari monarchs and ministers who had seen Xiao En lead the Blood Knight Heroic Soul against the Shadow Mistress with their own eyes recognized it at a glance. It was written by Xiao En.
After all, it is impossible for another undead empire, which is good at playing with shadow energy, to suddenly cross the broken line of defense and make a big move in the territory of the Byron Alliance.
Even knowing that this was the fault of Xiao En and the others, Ulan Bari and the others basically had nothing to do except verbally condemn them.
For them, the strange fog and the twisted nightmare inside were like extraordinary weapons, and once they took them out, they were helpless.
The most embarrassing thing is that they were the first to use this extraordinary weapon, and there was no way to take advantage of Xiao En and the others.
Compared to throwing it directly in other people's camps, Sean's current usage is much more benevolent.
No matter how disagreeable Ulan Bari and Chief Hai Ridong were, it was impossible to sit idly by and send someone overnight to warn Chief Hai Ridong in the direction of the Odin Grassland.
As a result, just as Ulan Bari expected at the beginning, Chief Hai Ridong had a deep prejudice against him, especially this time when he cooperated with the witch secret meeting, he did not communicate with him at all, which further offended him, thinking that he wanted to borrow The hands of Byron's alliance weakened his strength.
Having said that, Chief Hai Ridong did not frame Ulan Bari on this point. At the beginning, he was thinking about it.
After all, his main force has been damaged, and Chief Hai Ridong's strength is still intact, which will bring him a lot of pressure in the future.
Since all the information sent from Ulan Bari, Chief Hai Ridong will examine it.
Not to mention that the information that Ulan Bari and the others sent this time was a bit unbelievable. Without witnessing the mistress of the shadows' great power, simply listening to this matter could easily be regarded as psychotic raving.
It is believed that Ulan Bari is deliberately alarmist, intending to make Hai Ri Dongbu completely give up the right path and return to Ulan Bari's wing again.
...
The third day of the sudden appearance of the dividing line of strange fog.
The Hai Ridong Department came out from the right line of the Duanmai defense line, with more than 200,000 soldiers ready to fight.
Among them, the vanguard team of 50,000 people set off half a day earlier with only one goal, which was to entangle the blood cavalry right army and prevent them from messing up in the ensuing battle.
As long as they can destroy and eat up the infantry positions led by Sophilia, no matter how elite the blood cavalry right army is, they will not be able to make waves. With their iron hoofs chasing and intercepting them, they can only escape in embarrassment.
The rest of the Hai Ridong Division was divided into three parts, with 30,000 on the left and 30,000 on the left and 90,000 on the middle, surrounded on three sides, and ruthlessly pressed towards Sophilia's camp.
The flag was swaying, the dust was flying, the drums were shaking, and the hooves of the horses were roaring.
Looking down from the air, the two form a stark contrast.
Sophilia's military stronghold is only based on a slightly raised hill, definitely not more than a hundred meters, or the kind that is relatively flat, and I can't feel it at all at ordinary times. It was just artificially excavated and transformed. , curled up into a ball.
They are all surrounded by Odin orc cavalry, and it seems that the total force is not double of theirs, but four or five times.
When the great war comes, before you can see its shape, first strengthen its voice and take away its courage.
At this time, the veterans who have been on the battlefield and the recruits who have not been on the battlefield can be distinguished at a glance.
Those who talked and laughed happily comforted the people around them, or sharpened their own swords with a whetstone, or stuffed food into their mouths silently.
Eighty percent of them are veterans who have seen blood. They know when the war will really come and what poses the greatest threat on the battlefield.
Those who have changed color suddenly and couldn't help stretching their heads to look out are mostly those who have no idea.
"Everyone, follow orders and do not leave your post without authorization. This is not a drill. If you find anyone who leaves without authorization, you will be severely punished."
The low-level officers in Sophilia's military camp ran back and forth, inspecting their own defense zone, and preparing for the upcoming battle.
...
"What the hell is that? Is it a new weapon prepared by the enemy?"
"It doesn't look like it, it just looks like a tall tower."
"Be careful, there is no big mistake. I feel a mysterious atmosphere on it. Maybe it is a weapon we don't understand. Order the ordnance troop. When you fire later, aim at them and destroy them first."
"As you order, Chief."
The most eye-catching sight of Sophilia's barracks is a tower more than 20 meters high standing in the back half of the barracks.
Even ordinary people who are not sensitive to magical energy can clearly feel the powerful fluctuations of magical energy emanating from it.
It's hard for Hairi Fuyube not to notice.
Not to mention that they don't know what the tower is for, even most of the soldiers in Sophilia's army camp don't know what the tower is for.
This tower was built by the leader of the Yongye army. Every time they change camps, they immediately erect this tower that exudes a mysterious and powerful aura.
boom! boom! boom!
Hai Ridongbu was the first to launch the attack. This time they did not start with riding and shooting, which they were best at in the past, but the black powder kegs thrown by the trebuchet.
After Chief Hairidong occupied the right line of the Duanmai defense line, he didn't simply hide there, but also repaired, licked his wounds, and strengthened himself. Among them, the defense equipment that made them suffer so much, especially what they called The black powder keg of the wrath of the gods became their priority search target.
When Sophilia tore off the pulse-broken soldiers on the right line, she had torn off or destroyed as much as possible the military supplies that were easy to supply to the enemy as soon as possible.
But with such a long line of defense, some accidents will always happen.
Especially during the initial storm of the Odin orcs, some fortresses had changed hands repeatedly.
At that time, Ulan Bari's last war advantage against the Duanmai defense line became apparent.
Most of the generals of the Odin orcs have a deep understanding of black powder, a gunpowder weapon.
Once the fortress is captured, it will be their priority to protect and search for supplies.
Coupled with Ulan Bari's emphasis on this new type of weapon, after he retreated from the broken line of defense last time, he searched for black powder and its manufacturing method with the whole country.
Instead of doing research from scratch, they spend a lot of money to buy it.
The success rate is much higher than that of pure research, not to mention that the Theodin Empire itself has one-on-one warlocks like Ulan Bari. As long as they have the heart, they want to reverse the black powder formula. What a problem.
In the second year after the Western Odin Empire conquered the Eastern Odin Empire, they mastered the method of manufacturing black powder. Although it was the worst and least stable one, it was still practical to change their combat methods. Really.
This time the southward invasion, the Broken Vein defense line was fought so hard, and it also had a lot to do with the fact that the Theodin Empire was no longer blindly passively beaten in the face of black powder bombing.
As long as there are enough black powder kegs, no matter how bad they are, they can blow up their city walls.
As for whether the Theodin Empire bought a ready-made formula or developed it by itself, it is unknown.
The possibility of the former is relatively high. Never underestimate the insanity of human beings in the face of interests.
"As far as this level is concerned, do you have the nerve to show it? It's far from it, it's too far away."
"Your throwing vehicle position is too far away, you have to push forward at least a hundred meters."
"Are you all using women to operate the throwing vehicles? So weak?"
"Is this the legendary and unparalleled Odin orc? It seems that's the case, if you have the ability to rush up!"
The first round of catapults thrown by the Theodin Empire not only failed to deter Sophilia's army, but instead attracted the cynicism and ridicule of countless veterans with broken veins, and some even appeared to face them To show his disdain, he pissed in the direction.
It was one thing for the Theodin Empire to master black powder, but quite another to be able to make good use of it.
Their nomadic life is doomed to the lack of various craftsmen. The trebuchets in their hands are patchwork, and there are various models. The big ones can throw hundreds of catties of boulders three to four hundred meters away. Small ones can only throw stones of tens of kilograms to tens of meters away.
To master the ballistics of the same model, you need luck in addition to experience, not to mention all kinds of ballistics. It is normal to make such a joke.
"What's going on? Why don't we push the front line up? How can they waste the wrath of the gods in our hands?" Chief Hai Ridong asked with a black line on his face.
This is not simply a matter of wasting firepower, it is still embarrassing him.
"The enemy's long-range attack equipment has not been seen until now, and hastily pushed our siege equipment up. Once their siege equipment has a longer range than ours, it is easy to become their target. In this area, Byron People are always better than us," Terrence argued.
He is not only the number one think tank next to Chief Hairidong, but also the strongest advocate and the founder of this siege equipment army, and this army is temporarily dispatched by him.
As if to confirm the authenticity of Terrence's guess, there was an overwhelming roar in the direction of Sophilia's military camp.
boom! boom! boom!
ah! ah! ah!
The roar of the explosion and the screams of the Odin orc echoed each other.
Violent flames and dust all over the sky rose from the catapult position where Hairi Dongbu had just conducted a round of test firing.
Some shells even accidentally hit the gunpowder pile in the opponent's catapult position, causing a series of explosions.
"It's over!"
Chief Hai Ridong closed his eyes in pain. He didn't need to go to see it in person. He also knew that the catapult army he had just formed in less than two weeks was completely cancelled.
"How is it possible? How could their catapult hit so far? Hit so accurately?"
Terrence looked shocked, and couldn't help standing up from his horse, trying to see clearly what happened in Sophilia's camp.
