Chapter 113 War (VIII)

The commander of the coalition forces, Earl Robert, watched the battle in the air nervously.

The staff officer suggested in a low voice: "Sir, should we use dragon-killing crossbows to support the North Wind Eagle Guard? Those flying dragons should not be able to block our crossbow arrows."

"No, you continue to be vigilant."

Robert's tone was a little solemn.

Although the North Wind Eagle Guard is the most important force in his hands, doubts are now filling his mind: that red dragon, the leader of the Ember Nest, has not appeared since the beginning of this war!

As long as you use your brain, you can imagine how the existence that can cultivate such a legion can be an ordinary young red dragon.

Robert could only pray secretly now, hoping that the gods would bless his dragon-killing crossbow to be effective against the red dragon.

"We have to wait until the red dragon appears."

Sweat dripped from Robert's forehead. I don't know when, but the air in the Trier Valley was not as fresh as usual and became a little hot.

"Yes, sir."

The staff officer retreated angrily.

High in the air and on the ground, tens of thousands of humans and monsters were intertwined and fighting together, making the situation chaotic.

The bugbear smashed the head of a gun and shield soldier with a mace, causing his brains to splatter. But several archers behind the gun and shield soldiers opened their bows and set arrows, shooting the tall and strong bugbear into a hedgehog. The flying dragon in the air suddenly swooped down and stabbed the archers through with the sharp poisonous sting on its tail. However, the North Wind Eagle Guard swooped down behind it and pierced the dragon's most vulnerable neck with its lance.

"I'm going to crush you!"

Doro once again took the lead, wielding the heavy blood-fire battle ax and slashing hard.

This big goblin has already tasted the benefits on the battlefield, and he knows very well what a terrifying battlefield weapon he is now.

But this time, he did not split the enemy as expected, but his ax was held up by the thick shield, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out.

"Stand up for order!"

In front of me are seven warriors wearing silver-white heavy armor. They are the "Crown Oath" paladins of the Bosque family. The leading man surrounded by a protective aura is the famous "Knight of the White Lion" Tariq - he was the one who blocked Doro's slash.

They specially came to support the Chinese army.

"Cruel monster, we will grant you purification!"

Tariq gave an order, and several paladins surrounded Doro.

"Guard the connection!"

Several holy warriors raised the silver swords in their hands, and radiant chains connected them. Every attack they suffered would be distributed to each person. The seven people advanced and retreated together, as if they were one body.

"Damn turtle shell."

Doro swung the ax again and again, but each time it hit the paladin's shield.

As those radiant chains flickered slightly, the power of each attack was evenly divided into seven parts, allowing the paladins to easily block and launch counterattacks with their silver swords after blocking.

Doro wanted to change direction and break through, not to face these troublesome paladins.

But Tarik saw his thoughts at a glance.

"Forced duel!"

The light on the silver sword flickered, and Doro was forcibly dragged into the duel with the saint. He could neither leave nor break the defenses of the paladins. Instead, the paladins were able to use their numerical advantage to carry out all-round attacks.

For a time, Doluo was at a disadvantage and was covered in scars.

"Master Doluo, let me help you!"

The leader of the lizardmen, Ake, rode over on a dragon beast and knocked several paladins away.

But the paladins quickly got up and formed a tight formation again, like an airtight silver fortress.

The old lizardman shaman Koda followed closely behind, waving his wooden staff.

[Hot metal]

The shield in the hands of a paladin became hot and red. His hands were burnt black and made a hissing sound. He couldn't help but throw the shield away and wanted to temporarily retreat to the rear.

The old shaman's eyes narrowed slightly, and the wooden staff shone with an imperceptible emerald green light.

【Entanglement】

Tangled weeds and vines sprouted from the surface, tightly binding the lone paladin.

"Suffer death!"

Doro and Ake seized the opportunity at the same time and rushed forward.

The surrounding paladins tried to block it with their shields, but by this time it was too late.

The paladin was first pierced through the shoulder by a bone spear, and then his head was chopped open by a giant ax swung down from mid-air. Even with the chain of protection still hanging on his body and without the protection of a shield, his flesh and blood body still couldn't withstand the heavy blow of the giant axe.

"Watch the opponent's caster!"

"Guard formation!"

Tariq shouted.

The remaining paladins once again formed a tight formation to confront Doro and other family members not far away. Many soldiers were sent to cover around them, and even spellcasters from the coalition forces rushed over.

【Mithril Barrier】

【Protective Array】

The reduced number of paladins became more cautious, surrounded by several protective spells, and even Doro could not find any opportunity to attack for a while.

Doro gasped and stared at the enemy, his red eyes filled with the desire to kill.

"Koda, can you still cast that spell?"

"My natural power has not reached that level yet, and there are too many protective spells on them."

The lizardman shaman shook his head helplessly.

"Damn turtle shell."

Doro gnashed his teeth and cursed angrily, before riding the Earthdragon and charging forward again.

But the silver barrier formed by the paladins blocked him time and time again, preventing him from moving forward at all.

Without the breakthrough point of Doro, the advancement of the Ember Legion suddenly slowed down a lot, at least not like before, following the leader of the hobgoblin to destroy everything.

After all, the "Eagle Claws" are the most elite army in the Rachman Kingdom. After experiencing several attacks, they gradually adapted to the fierce battles with monsters.

This group of soldiers loyal to the Duke became red-eyed when their companions were killed one after another. They actually managed to defend the basic line of defense with their flesh and blood, and the situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

The front advanced back and forth, moving around strategic points.

The ogres on the front foot roared and smashed a group of humans to death and occupied an important high ground. On the back foot, the archers shot them into sieves and led the gun and shield soldiers to regain the position again. But soon Chimera fell from the sky, bringing fire to the coalition soldiers.

Death happens constantly.

MiMi blood filled the Trier Valley, watering the weeds.

This huge battlefield is like a black hole, greedily devouring the lives of both sides of the war.

Out of absolute distrust of the discipline of the players, Cassius did not put them on the most important frontal battlefield, but placed them on the flanks.

Therefore, the Ember Nest side consists of one thousand players and five hundred tiefling warriors led by Metrorash.

On the coalition side, there are 3,000 reinforcements from the Bosque family, which are not elite.

Compared to the fierce frontal battlefield with heavy casualties, the right-wing battlefield was a bit calmer, but the situation was not much better, and the level of chaos was even worse.

Just as the tieflings and the coalition forces were lining up, carefully testing each other's strength, the players had already rushed over like wild horses.

After all, they never care about military discipline.

"Come on!"

"WHAAAA!"

"Watch me perform!"

"For the Horde! No, for the Burning Nest!"

The one who rushed to the front was the brother with the ID "Free Wing". Now this guy has calmly accepted his title of Holy Light Brother and rushed to the front line of the battlefield with his butt naked.

Free Wing's profession is an earth druid who embraces nature, which fits his personality very well. He is also accompanied by several owls, which are the animal friends he summoned.

"Wild form!"

"Roar!"

Brother Shengguang lay on the ground in an eye-catching posture, turned into a strong brown bear, roared, and rushed straight towards the battle line.

The coalition troops looked at the players who had no tactics at all and rushed over recklessly. They were stunned for a moment, and then they immediately reacted and began to shoot out bursts of arrows.

"Why so many arrows!"

"Put on a shield, put on a shield for me!"

"Barbarian, block it for me!"

"The priest is giving me a holy realm spell. I can't stand it any longer."

After several rounds of arrow rain, the players suffered heavy casualties.

The worst thing was Brother Shengguang who turned into a bear. He was the largest, most conspicuous, and had the most arrows in his body. He clearly turned into a brown bear, but now he looked like a large hedgehog.

It wasn't until his health returned to zero that he turned back into a bare-butt corpse filled with arrows, still shrouded in a thin holy light.

"No - Brother Shengguang -"

"Can you bear this?"

"A group of NPCs dare to cause trouble here!"

The players quickly launched a counterattack, led by the players of the [Mechanicum]. They were basically magic weapon masters and had created many weird gadgets.

"The Guardian Mecha has been activated."

As the cold mechanical sound sounded, a tall black figure appeared in the player's line.

"Holy shit, what is this?"

"Why did someone build a Gundam?"

"So handsome, I want it too!"

I saw an arcane armor more than four meters high standing on the battlefield. The iron parts on it looked a bit crude, but they still couldn't hide the romance of the mecha. The driver was the president of the Mechanicus." Steel Frenzy”.

This is the characteristic of the Artifact Master's sub-professional armor division [Arcana Armor]. The one on Iron Frenzy is a Guardian model, suitable for charging into battle.

"Get out of the way, let me do it!"

Steel Frenzy drove the mecha on a rampage, laughing heartily.

He had spent all his savings and secretly misappropriated funds from the Storm Ordnance Institute to build this armor. Now he finally had the opportunity to show off his talents, which made him very excited.

Sitting in a mecha without showing off is like walking at night in brocade clothes!

The archers of the coalition army immediately noticed this strange-shaped iron lump and greeted it with various arrows.

"Still want to shoot Gundam with a bow and arrow?"

Iron Frenzy sneered.

"Protective force field!"

The Guardian Armor raised his left arm, and driven by the magic runes, a transparent force field barrier appeared in front of him, easily blocking the incoming arrows.

The players behind them followed the pace of the steel frenzy and arrived in front of the gun and shield soldiers.

The coalition forces had never seen anything like this before. Facing the approaching Guardian armor, they could only attack hastily and indiscriminately, without knowing what to do.

"Sir, times have changed!"

"Thunder Fighting Fist!"

Steel Frenzy let out a loud roar and swung his right fist. The propeller behind his arm burst into flames, and arcs of electricity wrapped around his fist.

"boom!"

With a thunderous noise, the coalition shield was dented into an exaggerated fist mark, and the soldier behind him was directly punched to death.

The soldiers around him covered their ears in pain, and their bodies were still wrapped in paralyzing arcs of electricity.

"Three hundred!"

"Three hundred! Three hundred!"

The Iron Frenzy laughed wildly, like a wolf that broke into a flock of sheep, punching the coalition's defense line one by one, and every time he threw a punch, a coalition soldier was flattened. The words "Contribution +300" kept refreshing on the panel, making him feel extremely happy.

"I'll just grab some fries with this one!"

The wheelchair man in the battlefield followed behind the Iron Frenzy, holding the "Iron Sprayer", and fired a shot in the face.

As the gunfire whistled, dense metal bullets sprayed out, and the coalition soldiers in a tight formation fell down and lay on the ground wailing.

"Fuck, four with one shot!"

"Is it so strong?"

The wheelchair man in the battlefield looked at the refreshed information on the panel, widened his eyes, and was very excited.

The status of this gun in his mind can even be compared with the Type 2 submachine gun.

"It's so fun to play the Artificer."

"I want to change my job, is there anyone who wants to join me?"

"Can you f*cking understand the blueprint? Just keep changing."

"Let's go, let's go!"

The Iron Tide had already roughly torn a hole in the opponent's formation, and the players behind rushed forward one after another, pouring into the gap in the defense line.

"Contribute to the camp!"

"For the Dragon Maid!"

The Warlock released a blazing fireball, the Druid summoned a strange beast, the Bard played a spell, and the Wanderer lay on the ground and shot cold arrows.

"Mage, don't cast the Dark Spell! I can't see it!"

"Wild Warlock, don't go first!"

"You f*cking Wild Magic Tide is casting a fireball under your feet?"

"Bard, use the Demon Fire."

The players screamed and rushed forward, using their various skills, and the lights of various colors flew everywhere, and there were strange weapons everywhere.

The coalition had never encountered such a professional army. Faced with the unreasonable tactics of the players, they had no way to deal with it and fled.

The tieflings in the distance had originally planned their tactics, but when they saw the players rushing over, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Captain, we..."

Damakos stepped forward and asked.

Medorash put on his helmet, raised his sword, and said calmly: "Then follow them to attack and enjoy the results of the battle. Don't worry about the life and death of these starfallers."

"They are immortal, but we are not."

"Prepare to attack."

His skills in exploiting the players have become more and more sophisticated.

"Yes, captain."

The tieflings also charged at the gaps dug by the players, but they still lined up in a tight formation and carried out key attacks in a more orderly manner.

And the players also realized that the tieflings had joined the battle.

"Damn, NPCs are here to steal monsters!"

This was their only thought.
