Chapter 203: Opening the city to fight, the gap between the two sides (215)

The next day, daytime.

It was early morning.

Different from normal troops that attack cities during the day and rest at night, the Eternal Night Army, as believers of darkness, have a completely opposite schedule. They like to launch fierce attacks at night and reduce their intensity during the day.

Such an abnormal combat time really caught the alliance forces off guard when they first encountered it.

But it's much better now.

The Alliance has adapted to this abnormal combat schedule.

After all, they are not ordinary people. Not to mention just adjusting their rest time, even if they don't sleep for ten days or half a month, there won't be any big problems. At most, their condition will just deteriorate.

The Eternal Night Army was carrying out boring bombardments as usual, consuming the reserves within the city.

The roar was incessant and the explosions continued.

After several days of bombing, both sides have adapted to the situation.

At this moment, the direction of the city suddenly changed, the terrifying light shield suddenly expanded, and a dazzling beam of light rose from the center of the city, shining with endless light like the scorching sun, instantly dispersing the dark fog set up by the Eternal Night Empire.

Rumbling--

At the same time, countless thunder spears attacked from the sky, carrying terrifying lightning, and fell like a rainstorm towards the Eternal Night Army, not seeking to kill the enemy, but to disturb them for a moment.

"Holy Light Purification!"

The blazing sun in the sky shone with holy light, dispelling the dark elements. The dazzling light made all the dark believers feel disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

With a fierce counterattack, the Alliance temporarily suppressed the firepower of the Eternal Night Empire.
The towering city gates opened wide, and then, amid shouts and screams, countless knights of the kingdom swept out and charged towards the army of Eternal Night.

"You finally can't hold it anymore. I thought you could hold on for a few more days, but you can't do it so soon." Han Ming, who possesses legendary strength, would not have any problems even if he stayed awake all the time, so the moment the city changed, he reacted and began to mobilize the army to encircle it.

Be it a breakout or a fight to the death.

No matter what your purpose is, don't even think about achieving it in my hands.

Looking at the alliance troops coming out one after another, Han Ming's eyes became sharper, like an eagle soaring in the sky, looking down at the prey running on the earth.

"Cowards of the kingdom, you are finally willing to leave your turtle shells. I thought you would stay in there forever!" Seeing the kingdom's army rushing out of the city, the heavy infantry corps at the front sneered, raised their shields, and prepared to meet the attack from the enemy.

The soldiers were all in high spirits and had no fear of war at all.

"If you want to break through our defense line, then come on. I will show you our true strength!" Chen Ding, the commander of the heavy infantry, was a relatively calm person, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw the kingdom soldiers rushing towards him.

The two armies engaged in battle in the blink of an eye. Both sides had a tacit understanding and stopped all kinds of field attacks. They held the long swords tightly in their hands, preparing for a close combat to decide life and death.

"You bastards of the Eternal Night Empire, die!" The Kingdom Knight had bloodshot eyes and a hideous smile on his face. He rode his warhorse and rushed towards the enemy in the distance at an extremely fast speed.

There is no need to even attack, just relying on its own weight and speed can produce a huge impact.

The kingdom knights in the front row charged forward, and in a suicidal manner, they charged directly at the black-armored warriors who had just built their defense line.

"Stop them!"

The heavy infantry soldiers, who are generally two meters tall, extremely strong, and dressed in heavy black armor, look like lumps of iron. They raise their shields expressionlessly.

They were like a thick metal wall, blocking the Kingdom's knights.

Elite warriors who are not afraid of life and death, luxurious heavy armor equipment, and a will to fight to the death, the combination of these three makes the most insurmountable wall in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if a true seventh-level legion arrived, it would be extremely difficult to break through this line of defense head-on.

But for ordinary legions, it is a wall of sighs.

But what does it matter?

The Kingdom Knight didn't hesitate at all, he tightened the reins, and charged forward with his horse.

bang bang bang-

Accompanied by dull loud noises, blood splattered everywhere and the war horses wailed in pain.

The horse fell down with a bloody head, and the warrior on it flew forward.

The heavily-armored warriors' bodies were still strong, their eyes were firm, without any change, as if the previous attack had not caused any effect on them.

But if one looks closely, one will find that their feet have dug deep into the ground and plowed two furrows backwards.

Even they, faced with such a horrific impact, could not avoid retreating.

There is nothing that can be done about it.

After all, no matter how powerful they are, they have to abide by the rules of power.

However, this was just the beginning. More and more knights of the kingdom rushed over, like moths to a flame, all abandoning life and death, choosing to show their value in the most violent way.

More and more knights of the kingdom fell, and then a steady stream of knights came up to fill the vacancies.

There was no surprise. Even though this Eternal Night heavy infantry had two defensive features and was super elite in terms of defense alone, a gap was instantly opened up in their defense when facing this death charge.

"Hahahaha, this is the Eternal Night Warrior, he really deserves the name of being powerful. But our attack at the cost of our lives is not so easy to stop! Come and fight!" The thousand-man captain of the kingdom who rushed in from the gap had a wild laugh on his face, and burned his blood in the most brutal way in exchange for a brief burst.

The long sword swung down.

Cold light flashes.

The head of a black-armored warrior flew up, and his tall body carrying the heavy armor slowly fell backwards. With a bang, he fell heavily to the ground.

"die!"

Another Eternal Night Warrior rushed forward, filling the gap, making up for the vacancy left by the death of his companion, and blocked the Kingdom Knight.

The captain of the kingdom swung his sword again, and the blood-red sword wrapped in blood flashed with an arc of light, tearing through the heavy armor and the body of the black-armored warrior. From the shoulders to the waist, the whole body was almost cut in half.

“He’s really capable.”

Spitting out a mouthful of blood foam, the kingdom centurion looked down at the torn armor on his body.

Swah——

The next second, with a wailing sound from beneath him, the warhorse's front legs were cut off, and the kingdom's centurion fell off the horse immediately. He saw a cold light flashing in the corner of his eyes and a long knife chopping at him. He rolled on the ground and narrowly avoided the fatal blow, but a long blood mark appeared on his waist, and the dark power attached to it began to erode his body.

"die!".
Three black-armored warriors rushed up and started to surround and kill.

After dozens of rounds, three bodies fell in a pool of blood. The eighth-level legendary kingdom centurion fell without causing any waves.

The surviving black-armored warrior completed his promotion. He looked fierce, holding a long sword in his right hand and a shield in his left hand, and he rushed towards the rushing kingdom knight again.

The knights of the kingdom who have survived to this day can be considered elite no matter where they are. Their fearless charge is indeed powerful. If it were an ordinary legion, they would have been defeated long ago.

But unfortunately, the opponent they encountered was the Legion of Eternal Night.

It's just death, no big deal.

You are not afraid of death, so are we afraid of death?
The attack, launched at the cost of life, was intercepted by the Eternal Night Warriors with their flesh and blood.

When both sides are not afraid of death and have equally firm wills, the only thing that matters is hard power.

Fight until you die.

Soldiers fell one after another, and were replaced by more soldiers.

In just a short while, thousands of soldiers from both sides were killed. It was a horrific scene.

You know, these are all extraordinary warriors of at least level six, but now they are dying in droves like ants.

When cavalry loses its speed advantage, all they can rely on is their own strength.

In this regard, the Eternal Night Legion is fully confident.

The Eternal Night Warriors who had survived the cavalry charge gathered in groups of three or five and, under the leadership of officers at all levels, launched an encirclement and attack on the Kingdom Knights.

The Kingdom's knights were trapped in the enemy's camp, unable to follow up, and more and more warriors fell.

At the same time, as time went on, the two armies began to come into contact on a large scale and a bloody battle broke out.

"Hahahaha, this is how we should fight. Warriors of the kingdom, show us your strength and let us fight with all our strength. The winner lives and the loser dies. It won't be a loss for either you or me to die on a battlefield like this." The imperial general laughed wildly and fought with the opposing general. Every blow with his sword drew blood and he was extremely brave.

Even in the midst of a life-and-death fight, the imperial generals expressed their recognition of the courage and strength of the kingdom's soldiers.

Strange to say.

Although the two sides had been fighting for decades and the casualties were not small, the Empire's generals and soldiers did not actually hate the Kingdom very much.

As mentioned before, this is just a normal expansion.

There was no hatred between the two sides.

All we can say is that the Eternal Night Empire wants to continue expanding and becoming stronger, but the Hundred Nations Alliance is blocking their way.

When you encounter an obstacle blocking your way, the easiest way is to clear it away.

In the eyes of the Eternal Night Empire, the soldiers of the Hundred Nations Alliance are such an obstacle.

So even though the two sides are hostile, the Empire still recognizes their will to resist.

Of course, the Empire has this attitude, but the Kingdom does not. They are eager to destroy the Eternal Night Empire.

However, although they recognized it, when it came time to kill the enemy, the imperial soldiers would not hesitate at all.

Living in the Eternal Night Empire, they have always admired brave warriors, and the best way for the empire to appreciate the enemies is to kill them.

"If you want me to die, you will have to pay a heavy price." The kingdom warriors were also furious. They no longer held on to the hope of survival and began to exchange their lives for others.

Each legion found its own opponent. Under the command of the imperial commander and relying on more powerful legions, the imperial army firmly suppressed the invading kingdom army.

There is no doubt that there is restraint between the legions.

Therefore, when the number of legions reaches a certain level, the competition will focus on two points.

The commander's command ability and the diversity of the legion.

Some powerful commanders can mobilize the corresponding legions to the most suitable positions through their own commands, allowing them to suppress the enemy legions by relying on their attributes.

As for the diversity of the Legion, this is also very simple to explain.

It’s just like playing cards. Friends who have played cards know that no matter how good your card skills are, it’s all in vain if you don’t have usable cards in your hand.

The same is true for commanders and legions.

No matter how powerful a commander you are, you still need to have the right legions at your disposal.

Otherwise, if you are given a bunch of low-level legions and asked to fight against mid-level legions, they won't even be able to break the opponent's defense. Then, no matter how powerful your command ability is, you will have no room to play.

If we compare the command capabilities of the commanders of the Alliance and the Empire, the Eternal Night Empire is slightly stronger, but the gap is not that big, they are both on the same level.

Whether it is the Empire Commander Han Ming, or the Alliance Commander Wallis, both are super geniuses selected from billions. They are natural commanders, and after decades of battlefield training, this talent has been developed and utilized to the extreme.

According to the system's classification, both of their command values ​​are above ninety-five.

A commander-in-chief value of ninety-five, what does that mean?

This means that even after being stripped of their auxiliary command abilities such as the secret art of voice transmission and the mental communication "network", the two can still command millions of troops.

Since the commanders are equally good at command, the only thing they can compare is the number and strength of their legions.

In this regard, the Alliance really cannot compare with the Empire, the gap is too big.

Therefore, the overall battlefield situation is very clear. The Empire has the advantage. Even if the Alliance explodes and the soldiers are determined to die, they cannot make up for the gap in hard power between the two sides.

Alliance commander Wallis had no way to deal with this situation.

If one follows rational thinking, then in his opinion, this battle should not be fought because it is a battle that is bound to be lost.

As a qualified commander, asking him to lead his soldiers to fight a war that he knew was bound to lose was even more painful than killing him.

After all, no matter how strong your city is or how many magic circles you have, it is still people who dominate the war.

As a top general, Wallis had fought against the army of the Eternal Night Empire many times before, with both wins and losses, so he was very clear about the gap between the two armies.

There are gaps in terms of equipment strength, soldier strength, and organizational coordination. As a result, our numbers are smaller than the enemy. If we can win, that would be incredible.

"Kandersen, lead the Third Legion to attack."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Wallis had no choice but to play a trump card in his hand.

"Take orders."

A middle-aged strong man roared, and the surrounding soldiers all burst into terrifying blood energy in an instant. The soldiers' aura soared all the way to the seventh level and was almost over the threshold.

The Third Legion is a quasi-seventh-level legion that has completed half of its transformation and is extremely powerful.
