Scene 29 Magic and War

The army of two thousand undead immediately formed a formation on the shallow river beach. The spider swordsmen dressed in pitch-black stood next to each other and lined up. They were wearing battle armor with spider patterns on their chests. They took a step forward in unison. They held a palm-width black sword with their hands upside down and laid it flat. The blade of the sword, the point of the sword touching the ground, grasping the counterweight with one hand at chest level, the other hand with the palm up, pushing the hilt behind, leaning forward, forming a certain angle with the body of the sword—two thousand one Hundreds of skeletons kept this movement at the same time, and rows of big swords were lowered one by one in the cold rain. The cold light on the blades formed a line, like the sharp teeth of death.

A small group of black knights surrounded Sir Viskag. The dark noble lord nicknamed the Silent also wore the armor of the black knights, but without a helmet. A pale head was exposed on the breastplate with a few sparse hairs. Its hair is like weeds in the wind, its face is covered with dry corpse spots, its eyes are burning with pale flames, and its whole body exudes a cold breath of death. With one hand, it presses the hilt of the sword inlaid with black roses for a long time, like Its nickname, silently looking west.

It was the rolling hills of the river bank, and the rain formed a mist that obscured the view. After the mist, the dark forest stood like a wall, but suddenly, a holy white banner appeared in the forest. Under the banner, there was a group of human infantry marching, and the silver-gray armor reflected light. Flickering like sparkling light, one after another, a trace of doubt flashed in Sir Viskag's eyes. It had never heard of this army, but the opponent was well equipped, obviously it was not a miscellaneous brand.

One mile is a distance where both parties can only observe each other quietly.

"Without shields, light infantry, the size is about five brigades." Sir Viskag silently calculated the size of the army in front of him at a glance. For a person like him, this is not a big deal. the sea. There are more than 400 autonomous dominions and small states, large and small, where there is a shortage of everything, but there is no shortage of soldiers, especially experienced soldiers. They are the best mercenaries in the entire dark world. They have experienced many battles, and their sensitivity to war has long been instinctive. "One and a half balls." It was relieved. The pride belonging to the black rose in the fire of the soul once again gained the upper hand, and she couldn't help being a little contemptuous.

Spider swordsmen are the nemesis of light infantry and cavalry. As long as there are no heavy cavalry, they are the most terrifying force on the battlefield, not to mention that the number of opponents is far less than their own. Sir Viskage smiled indifferently, thinking that these arrogant human nobles must still stick to the rules and hold the belief that infantry is only a defensive force, but they must not know that infantry can also show their fangs. Become a sharp knife that tears the position.

"Let the spider come and tell you later that your era is over." The black knight commander glanced at Eruin's army again, and the White Lion Guard was slowly advancing, and he was more certain of this in his heart.

At this time, bits and pieces of light began to float on the opposite side of the river bank.

"They are blessing the spell."

"There is a group of magicians."

Sir Viskag slightly raised his sparse eyebrows at the muffled conversation of the black knight beside him,

The army on the opposite side is really unusual. There is a group of magicians, which is at least the level of the Van Meer Army. The opponent is likely to be part of the Central Army, not some noble army. It just didn't know which one it was, it frowned. I wondered in my heart that the Southern Legion had already arrived near Ampersel, and which legion did the army in front of me come from?

The flashes of magic gradually became denser. Sir Viskag finally changed his face - this scale, is it part of Aruin's Royal Knights, or the Black Blade Legion or the White Lion Legion? "Impossible, it is impossible for the elite of these three Eruin people to come to the southern border, unless they have completely abandoned the area north of Ambexel." It shook its head. He murmured in his heart, the army in front of him was really too weird. Although there are also Lich in Madara's army, Lich is not considered a wizard seriously. Don't say that it has never seen this matching group of magicians. Even in the entire military history of Warnd after the Battle of the Saints, it has never appeared before.

1,500 infantry, equipped with more than 100 magicians——

"This is really crazy!" Sir Viskag felt that either the other side was crazy, or he had hallucinations.

The battlefield echoed with the whining of horns.

"The Vieros told us to turn around and retreat," Brando looked away from the misty river beach, and said to Ke Wen, Caglis and Freya beside him: "It seems that they still have a little conscience. "

"Hey, at least it proves that the people we want to save are not all trash." Caglis replied with a smile.

Ke Wen didn't say a word. It was the first time for the young man from Shavlund to participate in the war. The scene in front of him was different from what he imagined. The White Lion Guard was walking slowly in the drizzle, and the sound of orders came to him from time to time. In his ears, "Swords out of the sheath!" The heralds galloped back and forth in the queue, with the flags flying. This kind of army was completely different from the noble troops he had seen. He felt a little vaguely, as if this army should come out of a certain period of history and come to this battlefield. .

That period of history is called the establishment of Aruin.

He looked back subconsciously, and Brando was standing with a sword, looking up at his army on horseback, with a calm expression on his face.

"This army is nothing more than that in his opinion." Ke Wen thought, "What kind of army does the Earl want?"

Brando smiled lightly. The White Lion Guard has just taken shape, and Eruin has taken its first step, but what he wants to see now is to push open the door with his own hands. Behind the shining golden door is another era. In the previous history, it began in the Silver Year, but in this history, it will begin today, and after today is the future. He raised his head and looked at the slender figure in the rain in front of him, and at this moment Freya also turned her head to look in the direction of Brando, she was riding a snow-white war horse, and she was full of doubts at the moment, "Brando What exactly does he want to do? The magician group is not used like this... ", it is clearly written in Eruin's tactical manual: precious magicians must receive the strictest protection, and a magician group with more than one hundred people It must be protected by a legion. Otherwise, they should be scattered to avoid a devastating blow.

The magician group is a valuable auxiliary combat force, and sometimes it can even change the situation of the battle; wizards have extremely strong personal combat capabilities, and are relatively strong individuals on the battlefield. In general tactics, such individuals with strong combat capabilities should use them dispersed in the army. In this way, it can not only be effectively protected, but also effectively threaten the enemy's array and command personnel at various points.

But now, the magicians of the Tonigel people are forming a phalanx like the infantry, and only a small number of white lion guards are kept outside the phalanx. Their singing resounds through the river bank, like a hymn, and the light floats in the air. Layers of spells are protected on the white lion guards in front. Karglis was looking up at the light-colored halo falling from mid-air together with the rain, falling on every soldier. Even including himself.

Curiously, he touched the energy shield a few inches away from his body, as if a layer of air flowed on it, bypassing his fingertips, forming a vortex—that was the wind shield. "It's really spectacular." Kaglis muttered to himself, deploying so many wizards to an army of only 1,500 people was opposed by almost everyone, especially Antitina and Metty. Sha, the former started from the difficulty of cultivating wizards in the territory. Advise Brando to cherish this rare power, and the latter has experience from the battle of the saints. Brando is not optimistic about the concentrated use of magicians, and most of the others, including Freya, are also opposed. Tonigel now has many wizards, but most of these wizards come from various mercenaries Among the regiments, witches, and druids of the Ring of Tradewinds. Rather than the reserve force cultivated by the territory, that is to say, once lost, it is difficult to replenish.

In the eyes of everyone, this rare group of magicians. It should be used carefully as a secret force of Tonigel, but Brando resisted all opinions and put them together to form this magician group. This unprecedented group of magicians has been criticized since its establishment. Caglis even heard that even Shire is not optimistic about the future of this group of magicians. Those Cruz people who followed Veronica even bluntly said that It's the move of the nouveau riche.

But will the lord be an upstart?

Cagles looked at Brando with a calm face, squeezed his chin, "Well, well... a bit like that." But in any case, the buff spells provided by the magician group of more than two hundred people are enough. Covering an entire army, when they are attached to everyone in the White Lion Guard one by one, this scene is indeed a bit spectacular.

"The lord seems to have some insight in doing this." Uta took a last look at the other side of the river, then pulled down the metal mask, and replied in a low voice in the rain.

Not far away, Fern shook his head when he heard this. While pulling out his long sword, he walked slowly with his subordinates, feeling a little worried in his heart. It's not that no one has done this before, but the effect is really limited. The enemy will spread out the formation, making the effect of the spell less obvious. And even if one or two troops are defeated, once the concentrated magician group is hit, the loss of precious wizards will be much higher than that of the opponent, and the gain is not worth the loss. Over time, no one will do this.

But what was the lord thinking in his heart?

Brando looked at Caglis' curious and suspicious expression, and understood what the other person was thinking, "What do you think a wizard is, Caglis." He asked. The latter hastily pulled down the metal mask. Although it was impolite to do so, he also guessed that Brando saw him smirking just now, and he replied falteringly: "My lord, it is written in the tactical drill-"

"Don't be funny, Cagles, you're not from a major, so don't tell me about tactical drills, and talk about your own ideas." Brando replied angrily.

"My lord, I really don't know." Caglis shook his head. He is not a wizard, so how would he know what a wizard would do. There are rumors in the countryside that these wizards are all supernatural and omnipotent, but these rumors are obviously unbelievable: "But Princess Medisa..."

Brando scoffed at Eruin's outdated tactics, but he didn't necessarily agree with Metisa's statement. Yes, the Battle of the Saints can be said to be the largest on the land after the destruction of Babel Fortress. It was a grand battle, in which there were Frost Knights, Dragon King Cavalry, Miners' Dusksong Guards, and Silver Elf Princess Guards, that battle was as magnificent as an epic. But in that war, there were no wizards.

The history of wizards begins with Tumen——

Tumen taught magic to the people of silver. From him, Warnd had the first generation of wizards, but until the dynasty of the Buga people flourished. The history of wizards is only beginning to shine brightly. The stealers of these laws were just a rising force during the battle of the saints, as weak as a chick that had broken its shell. In a battle of that level of power, all they could do was look up. The history of wizards' participation in wars can be traced back even later. The disintegration of the Holy Alliance directly caused the Buga people to ignore world affairs. The silver elves retreated into the ravine, the age of mortals fell, and now, many years later, the rules of war have truly changed.

What is a wizard?

Many people think that wizards are the power to change the situation on the battlefield. Their strange spells can bring unexpected variables to the whole war. They can make the hard ground muddy, they can make the dry battlefield suddenly rain, and they can ignite in the forest. fire. Fortresses and fortresses can be built in an instant, and can provide countless help and protection to friendly troops. But they all missed one point. Another side of the wizard.

destructive force.

"The wizard represents firepower," Brando said to Kaglis, who stood proudly in the rain: "This is a force that can dominate the battlefield."

This statement seems to be no different from the previous one. Although Caglis didn't understand what "firepower" meant, he could hear what Brando wanted to say. He was a little disapproving, but he still replied in a low voice: "The magic power of wizards is limited. My lord, and their enemies are alive. Didn't Lord Veronica also say that using the precious spells of wizards to kill and injure scattered ones?" Enemies are a waste."

This is indeed a problem. After all, this is not the era when the great tide of demons begins, but that is afterward. Today, the magician group under my command is enough to deal with the current skeletons. Brando recalled the Battle of the Inclined Forest, recalling the miracles created by wizards in that war, he smiled coldly, and soon such miracles would come to Madara's bone frame.

Tonigel's wizard apprentices have practiced today's battle thousands of times, but even they themselves don't understand what it will bring. It will only shock everyone deeply when it shines.

The two sides had entered the final distance of one hundred and fifty yards.

The Eruin began to blow the cornet, and the White Lion Guard began to speed up, but they were still in order. The non-commissioned officers on the horses also dismounted, joined their ranks, raised their swords high, and commanded their subordinates to prepare with passwords. Start charging. At this moment, Brando's eyes shone brightly. He scanned Madara's long array, and those skeletons were indeed scattered. It is worthy of the Emperor's Chosen Group from the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon, and its reputation is well-deserved.

When the two sides approached within a hundred yards, the Lich under Sir Viskage began to bless the spider swordsman with spells. They were very calm, or rather their commander was very calm— ——Because the undead itself does not exist at all.

"The speed is faster than expected," Sir Viskage said to his men. "This army is queer."

The weird lion shoulder armor of the White Lion Guard has already come into their sight. With the blessing of spells, the speed of this Tonigel infantry, whose average level is no more than the peak of black iron, is already close to the starting speed of light cavalry. Viskag suddenly gritted his teeth, realizing that the army in front of him might not be a defensive infantry at all, but, like his spider swordsman, an outright offensive infantry.

"What are they like?" he asked over his shoulder.

"It's a bit like the legendary White Lion Legion." A black knight replied in a low voice.

"No, it's not." Ser Viskage shook his head, "No."

It's a pity that it doesn't have a skeleton shooter under its command, otherwise it can try it out. But it doesn't matter, the Emperor's Chosen Group from the Sea of ​​the Dead Moon, the army selected by His Majesty the Supreme Emperor himself, is equipped with the most elite undead soldiers and commanders in Madara. No matter who is in front of them, the end will be only One, that is being crushed. She gestured to the black knight to raise the flag, and passed the information to the Lich in the army, so that the entire formation could be expanded. The open terrain on the river beach is beneficial to them, because their own side has a stronger force.

And at this time, a flash of light suddenly flashed in the rain curtain ahead.

coming.

Ser Viskag thought to himself.

When Count Jacques saw hundreds of golden threads across the rain on the top of the mountain, those fiery flames were like molten steel streams, intersecting each other, then disappearing, and flashing again, bunch after bunch, beautiful like a winter harp Fireworks displayed at the festival. Everyone was so surprised that they could hardly speak. "Magician!" Someone shouted, "There are so many magicians in Tonigel!" The Earl turned to look at the others, and the nobles of Viero looked at each other.

How could they use magicians like that? Is that Earl Tonigel a nouveau riche! ?

Everyone thinks so.

The fireball fell on the river beach like raindrops, causing an effect beyond everyone's imagination. The soft soil on the river beach seemed to be infused with life, and it came alive. Scenes. Even the non-commissioned officers of the White Lion Guard were almost stunned by the scene in front of them. The terrifying explosion completely plowed Sir Viskag's front line. The skeleton swordsmen there were originally scattered, but now Even more scattered, after a round of firepower, a sieve-like position appeared in front of the White Lion Guards.

At this moment, there seemed to be a flash of lightning in Freya's heart, and she realized something.

Sir Viskage was also aware of the problem.

This round of magical strikes did not destroy his army. In fact, the blows caused were very limited. Although there were casualties, compared to the mana consumption of the opponent's wizard, the casualties were negligible. But the problem is that after the spell, there is still an army of white lions ahead. It originally thought that it was just infantry, and it was impossible to enter the position so quickly, but the opponent's speed was beyond imagination. That's not infantry at all.

That's the damn cavalry without horses!

That is the real white lion infantry in history!

"Quick!" Sir Viskag suddenly screamed, "Get the back row up, don't let them cut into the front line so quickly! Don't let them run!"

But it was at this time that the second round of magic strikes arrived as scheduled.

Brando's gaze fell on Charles, who pondered for a moment before giving an attack command. Under everyone's dumbstruck eyes, the spells of the wizards stretched forward and landed on the position between the first line and the second line of spider swordsmen. And there, now, is almost nothing more than an empty space. The Vieros behind Earl Jacques were almost stunned, "Why are the Tonigels attacking the open space? Are they crazy? Wizards don't need money for their mana?"

Earl Linz suddenly stopped talking, because he saw countless fear spirits suddenly flew up from the blood stick's main formation, and headed straight to the west of the river bank.

"The Blood Wand is aware of the problem," Earl Jacques looked at this scene and replied dryly, "The two regiments to the south of it are about to die."

"What?"

Loud whistles sounded above the river bank at this moment.

The effect of the magic is far from over, but Freya has already raised her long sword and simply issued her first command in this war: "Charge!"
