Chapter 112 War (VII)
Of the more than 400 cavalrymen, only less than 30% are left, and the death toll is still increasing. The cavalrymen are fleeing everywhere.
The spear and shield soldiers suffered heavy casualties under round after round of shooting from the Earth Elite Line Regiment. Gaps appeared in the originally tight formation, and the spear and shield soldiers at the back even became afraid of fighting and dared not fill the gaps in front of them, because in their view, this was tantamount to suicide.
Fortunately, after several rounds of volleys, the earth elves ran out of ammunition and put down their fire sticks and replaced them with sharp swords.
The ogres and lizardmen also rushed forward and attacked. The followers of the Burning Nest collided fiercely with the main force of the coalition force, the "Eagle Claw".
This is the most intense battlefield on the front line.
"For the Burning Nest!"
"For the great red dragon master!"
Dolo led the charge bravely.
He swung the bloody and fiery battle axe vigorously, smashing several terrified spear and shield soldiers into pieces. The nearby soldiers witnessed this horrific scene, and they collapsed in fear and fled in all directions.
The coalition forces' originally stable formation was forcibly broken open by Doro.
The monsters behind cheered wildly, rushed into the gap, and fought frantically in the army formation, either with their claws or with their swords, constantly expanding their advantage.
The hobgoblins slashed with swords, the lizardmen threw bone spears, the ogres swung clubs, and the kobold warlocks breathed fire.
"enemy!"
The ogre "Big Head" lowered his head and roared, then smashed a heavily armored soldier to pieces with a club.
However, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he looked around, then tore off a piece from the blurry mass of flesh and blood, and secretly stuffed it into his mouth when no one was paying attention, with a look of satisfaction on his ugly face.
"Canned man, delicious."
"We can't let the boss know about this. He won't let Big Head eat the canned figurines, and if I eat them he'll beat me up."
Big Head whispered to himself.
However, he didn't know that Trump was looking at the battlefield with the help of the magic pendants carried by the ogres, and he saw this scene with a dark face.
"Big Head! You're cheating again!"
Trump's annoyed voice suddenly appeared beside Big Head.
Big Head was so scared that he immediately covered his head, reflexively trying to protect his head from being hit by the hammer.
But he looked around and didn't see Trump's tall figure. He could only touch his head in confusion and muttered to himself: "Strange, I clearly heard the boss's voice..."
"Did you hear wrongly?"
But soon, his simple brain was attracted by the aroma of flesh and blood, and he forgot about it.
"Never mind, let's continue beating the canned man!"
Big Head roared excitedly and once again threw himself into the bloody battle to fill his stomach.
For these monsters with the blood of red dragons, killing is as common as eating and drinking, but this is not the case for humans.
"Help—"
"Let me go, I won't fight anymore!"
"They are the devil incarnate!"
"Let me get out of here..."
Many soldiers witnessed their comrades dying one after another under the monsters' crazy attacks, and their deaths were miserable. They were already overwhelmed and wanted desperately to escape from this terrible meat grinder.
"Deserter, death penalty!"
However, the military supervisors behind them stopped these fleeing soldiers and killed them mercilessly with the Sword of Judgment in their hands, forcing them to turn around and fight the enemy.
But this could only slow down the situation slightly and could not stop the general trend of the army's retreat.
"This can't go on like this."
Robert watched his defense being crushed by the monster army with a frown on his face.
He called the leader of the North Wind Eagle Guard. "Aiden, it's your turn to stop them."
"Yes, my lord."
Aiden accepted the order, turned over and jumped onto the giant eagle, flapped its wings and took off. He raised the Eagle Screaming Silver Sword in his hand in the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
"Northern Wind Eagle Guards, prepare to charge!
Hundreds of Giant Eagle Knights rose to high places, let out loud eagle cries, and swooped down rapidly.
"Fight for the Duke!"
"Charge with me!"
Giant eagles flew across the ground, casting mottled and interlaced shadows, and also brought lances and long swords.
Under the Eagle Guards' mass charge, the monster army suffered heavy casualties. Even a few ogres with thick skin and flesh were pierced by lances from the sky.
After several rounds of charges, with the support of air power, the defeat of "Eagle Claw" was temporarily slowed down, and there was even a slight momentum to push back the front line.
However, the North Wind Eagle Guards obviously forgot that they were not the only ones in the sky. Just as they finished their dive and began their next round of slow climb -
"Roar--"
The roar of a flying dragon was heard.
The Redscale Conquerors descended from the sky with fire.
They had already been hovering above the higher clouds, waiting for an opportunity to attack. As the North Wind Eagle Guards finally relaxed and revealed their flaws, Alger made a prompt decision and seized the opportunity to launch an attack order.
"For the Burning Nest!"
"charge!"
Alger raised the Everburning Greatsword.
The dragon roar charge was launched collectively, accompanied by a powerful roar, and seventeen atavistic flying dragons spewed out hot flames at the same time, causing a rolling sea of fire to appear in front of them.
The North Wind Eagle Guards remained in a tight formation, climbing slowly, but they never expected an attack from the air.
When the dragon roared, the giant eagles fell into fear uncontrollably and were unable to dodge. When the eagle guards raised their heads in panic, their vision was completely occupied by flames.
"boom!"
Flames raged wildly in the air, and giant eagles burned in groups, turning into fireballs and falling to the ground.
Alger's control of the timing was almost perfect. In just this round of dragon roar charge, most of the nearly 100 Eagle Guards were burned to death, almost the entire Eagle Guard regiment was lost.
"Spread out! Spread out!"
"Evacuate quickly!"
Aiden let out a heart-wrenching roar.
He finally understood why the Sixth Eagle Guard Regiment disappeared as a whole. It turned out that the Burning Nest also hid a terrifying air force.
Not just those mindless flying dragons, but also flying knights!
"Roar--"
As the Red Scale Conqueror charged, the dragon leader "Smaug" let out a long roar, and the wyverns flew up in disorder, chasing the lone Eagle Guard in the air.
The three heads of Chimera roared in unison, waved their dragon wings, and joined the battlefield with two female members of the same species.
The situation in the sky became increasingly chaotic.
Flames, arrows, and lances flew in the air in a disorderly manner.
Three Chimeras, more than a hundred flying dragons, eighteen Red Scale Conquerors and the remaining two hundred North Wind Eagle Guards were engaged in a thrilling battle in the air, with no time to pay attention to anything else - because if they were distracted for a moment, they would be attacked from all sides.
Humans or monsters keep falling from the sky.
The human army on the ground lost its air support and was once again pushed into the front line by the monsters. They continued to retreat, with constant cries of death and injury.
I woke up from a hangover today, and my thoughts are a bit messy. I will update tomorrow.
