Chapter 172 Test

Thunder City is located on the edge of Thunder Strait, with the city walls only a few thousand meters away from the beach - it can only be said that this is a natural and wonderful outpost fortress.

If the Rolanders in the north want to land on the southern continent, then the most suitable place on the northern coastline of the Empire of Light is this beach outside Thunder City.

Perhaps it was God who deliberately left an excellent terrain for the Light Continent when he created this world. On the coastline of the Light Continent, most of the coastline is steep whirlpool reefs and steep cliffs. There are relatively few flat beaches, and even fewer beaches that can accommodate large-scale landings in large numbers. This beach outside the Thunder City is flat and vast, and it is the best place to land.

The walls of Thunder City were built according to the first-level imperial fortress - this place is a completely military fortress, and there are few civilians living in the city. The walls are completely built with huge stones made from northern specialties. They are tall and strong, twelve meters high and four meters wide, and have an arc shape.

Thunder City is not big, and the maximum limit can only accommodate 200,000 people. At this moment, there are 50,000 flame warriors from the Gods, 50,000 Thunder God Whip, and 50,000 elite heavy armor infantry of the Northern Legion.

Tiger looked at the information in front of him coldly, then walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck and looked into the distance. Under the morning sun, Thunder City was vaguely visible on the shore.

"We must take down Thunder City first." Tiger, as the commander of the Southern Expedition Alliance of Roland Continent, sighed softly. In all aspects, the first step of this holy war must be taken down Thunder City!

First of all, after the coalition forces of the Roland Continent came ashore, they needed a solid stronghold to rectify the army and serve as a solid transit station for further southern expeditions! In the war steps of the army heading south, with this solid stronghold near the coastline, the supplies transported from the Roland Continent can be continuously sent to the front line through this transit station!

To take a step back, the combat effectiveness of the Light Empire on land was deeply feared by Tigers - especially their Tulip Duke. Almost every generation of the family was born military commander. The Light Empire had a huge and elite army. After its army landed, it must immediately get a solid military stronghold. If the other party mobilized heavy troops to counterattack wildly, it would only require a solid military fortress to breathe and repair.

He didn't want his army to fight the opponent's huge cavalry legion as soon as he got ashore - it would take some time to repair it. The storm and waves on the seas of more than ten days across the strait made the soldiers very tired.

There is also a very important thing. Leiming City has quite sufficient food, grass, weapons and other various military supplies. If it occupys Leiming City, it can provide a large amount of supplies to the army.

Of course, there is another reason, Tiger didn't say it...

He himself was not optimistic about this holy war - but the dignity and honor of the knight forced him to be loyal to His Majesty the King and the Temple. But he was always a little uneasy - fighting against the army of the Light Continent on land? Although the number of the Roland coalition was large enough, can the army of varying quality pieces pieced together by more than a dozen countries do?

Occupy Thunder City! Because this stronghold is closest to the coastline, if the war is defeated in the future and the army is defeated, Thunder City can be used to gather the defeated army and block the pursuers of the Light Empire. You can rely on the protection of this strong military fortress to withdraw the army to the maximum safety!

But Tiger knew very well that he understood these principles himself and the other party also understood them, so the other party mobilized the seriously ill handle in Thunder City, and it was the "Thunder Whip" led by the Duke of Tulip of the Empire!

Tiger looked at the Thunder City from a distance and seemed to be a flag flying high. Although the distance was too far to see clearly, Tiger knew that it was the tulip battle flag!

Taking a deep breath, the supreme commander of the Roland coalition issued an order in a short language: "Log in!"

The morning sun shone on the sea without hesitation. On the vast sea, thousands of large black warships were densely lined up - half of them were the first-class warships like Miro mentioned that Roland could accommodate more than a thousand people!!

Countless dense boats like ants were put down, rushing towards the coast like large tracts of locusts...

The imperial defenders on the city wall were stunned... After all, there was no large-scale war with the Roland Continent for a century. Although I always knew that the Roland people were extremely powerful at sea - but seeing such a huge maritime legion with my own eyes made these imperial soldiers almost pop out!

There was noisy on the beach, and countless soldiers from Roland rushed to the shore of the Shanghai shore, transporting a large amount of supplies and equipment, and then pouring into the huge military camp continuously. It was seen from the city wall that they were like a group of busy worker ants.

"Duke, are we still waiting?" Zieg couldn't help frowning.

Roddy looked at the sun in the sky and said lightly: "Wait! There are only more than 100,000 people who have landed ashore. I will wait for hundreds of thousands of them to come ashore. Let them leave the ocean where they come to survive, and dry every drop of blood on land and under our city walls!"

So, on the second day of the war, a strange scene formed...

The huge Roland coalition on the coast beach was busy landing, but the imperial army in Leiming City was completely considered to be air. Both sides occasionally glanced at each other from a distance and continued to do their own things. Not to mention a single knife and a single shot, even an arrow was never released...

The only thing that surprised Roddy was that next, a larger fleet of opponents appeared on the sea surface. The dense warships almost completely blocked the entire sea surface. The army continuously transported from the sea to the shore, from 100,000 to 200,000, and then to 300,000,500,000,600,000…

The originally huge military camp on the coast was almost not enough. The sound of people shouting and neighing horses filled the entire beach, and even the Thunder City could be heard from far away.

For three days, three days, the other party transported an extremely large army to the shore. The huge military camp looked like a dense forest. The only thing Roddy did every day was to stand on the city wall and watch the other party landing, and then secretly calculated in his heart how many troops the other party had arrived this time...

The statistics result surprised him slightly: 800,000! At least 800,000 people! This number is only a lot more and a lot more!

Are the Rolands crazy? They sent almost half of the army of the continent - they really thought that such a miscellaneous army mixed with armies from more than a dozen countries could defeat the legion of the Empire of Light that swept the continent?

Roddy's eyes were already very sharp at this moment. After three days of observation, he still had a relatively pertinent evaluation of the strength of the Rolanders coalition.

Among these 800,000 people, only less than 200,000 people met the standards of the imperial elite army. Two of the knights looked very good, and they must be the legendary strongest knights in the Roland Continent. I just don’t know if there are any sacred knights in the Roland Continent temple.

Roddy was too lazy to see the other armies - those were almost all miscellaneous armies, with fewer cavalry, and most of them were infantry, but those infantry were not enough to see them compared to the elite heavy armored infantry of the Empire of Light.

They lack equipment and even do not have good armor. Some troops are not even uniform in uniform. The so-called armor on many infantry soldiers is just a few pieces of rotten iron to protect their chests and shoulders. The weapons in their hands are also all kinds, including swords, big swords, short spears, and spears...

There was also a strange army that surprised Roddy a little - it was really a very strange army, which should be the legendary Roland war chariot convoy - thousands of two-wheeled carriages, each carriage was equipped with a war horse, and the carriage was equipped with three soldiers, a coachman, and two spearmen. These two long sharp knives were tied to the two wheels of the carriage - Roddy could see the horror of this army at a glance, which was a special type of army specially used to massacre the opponent's infantry!

However, the shortcomings of this kind of chariot are also very obvious. Roddy just sneered twice and ignored it.

Apart from the unexpectedly large number of opponent's troops, Roddy has not felt uneasy these days. He just patrolled the military camp as usual every day, and then pulled Zieg to discuss some things, and even rarely saw the commanding officers under his command.

The only thing that was nervous was the bishop elder of the Divine Cult.

One day, the elder of the Divine Cult walked up to the city wall and saw the huge military camp of the enemy in front of the beach. He exclaimed and his face turned pale immediately.

He immediately strongly suggested that the Duke of Tulip ask His Majesty for reinforcements!

Needless to say? The entire northern war zone only has 400,000 troops, but the number of opponents is twice that of their own!!

You should immediately request His Majesty the Emperor to make large-scale reserve soldiers for the law, and it is even necessary to recruit civilians!

Roddy just glanced at him coldly, then said lightly: "I understand."

Sieger watched the absent-minded elder of the God Cult left and sneered: "Idiot! Can't he see that although the other party's army is huge, there are very few real elite soldiers. Although most of them are wearing weapons and armor, from the way they walk, they are just a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes... Humph."

Miro said lightly: "Not to mention the garbage, they just look really good. Just pay attention to those people. However, the cavalry cannot attack the city, so we can completely waste them to death!"

Roddy smiled slightly: "Take them to death? It seems that there is no need. I have no intention of fighting in Leiming City..."

He smiled slowly: "I decided to stay here for ten days. After ten days, we will give up Thunder City and retreat to the northern province!"

Zieg and Miro looked at each other, and a strange look flashed in Miro's eyes and said coldly: "Set, you are really cunning. Are you afraid that they will run away? Do you want to lure the enemy into the deep?"

Roddy nodded: "Thunder City is too close to the seaside, they can escape at any time, but as long as they lure them to the depths of the continent... Humph, I want to fight to let their 800,000 troops touch the light continent!"

Sighing, Roddy whispered: "In that case, at least you can exchange the empire for decades of peace..."

Calmness breaks on the eighth day of the other party landing.

General Tiger, commander of the Roland Continental Alliance, wrote a letter of war to Duke Tulip, commander of the Thunder City Empire. The two sides agreed to fight to the decisive battle under the Thunder City City in the afternoon of the next day.

After seeing this war letter, Roddy and Zieg looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Miro also had a strange expression: "If you fight, you'll fight. They'll just come to attack the city, what else can they send a war letter?"

Roddy thought for a while and said, "Just fight. Our army hasn't fought with the Rolanders for a hundred years. It's better to try their strength first. Let General Miro and I take people out of the city tomorrow and have a fight with them under the city!"

Zieg was about to say something, Roddy shook his head and said, "Thunder Whip is our ace now. You can't be shown out the first time. Tomorrow, General Zieg, you can watch it on the wall!"

The war begins...

The afternoon sun was particularly dazzling. With the dull and dense drum sounds, a group of soldiers from the Rolanders' coalition's barracks slowly emerged and set up a huge army formation in the wilderness below the city. There were several infantry phalanxes in the middle and cavalry formations on both sides, while the strange convoy did not appear.

The gate of Leiming City opened, and 50,000 heavily armored infantry wearing strong armor lined out in neat steps. They held solid shields and big swords in their hands, and the dense and neat square arrays were arranged under the city wall.

The air was filled with the moisture in the sea breeze and a bit of salty smell. The afternoon sunlight made the soldiers' foreheads sweat. Roddy and Miro stood in the middle of the military formation and looked coldly at the Roland coalition opposite.

"It seems that the other party's commander is also very cautious... These people are just temptations." Miro whispered, but looked at Roddy at the corner of his eyes.

Roddy didn't say anything, her eyes were silenced, and she looked at the enemy troops in the distance with her lips.

A giant man with a height of more than two meters and a figure similar to rand rand ran out of the opponent's army, holding a huge horn in his hand and putting it at his mouth...

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

"For honor!" A knight drew out the sword.

"For honor!!!!" Countless voices rose into the sky, and then the Rolands' military formation began to move. Countless soldiers began to advance slowly, first trotting, then faster and faster. Finally, the soldiers running in front raised their weapons, and after roaring wildly, they rushed towards the army of the Empire of Light.

Zigg, who was above the city wall, sighed and shook his head: "Marble cards are miscellaneous cards." With his order, the archer on the city wall immediately set his bow and shot a round of shooting towards the sky at an angle of 45 degrees!

As soon as the first group of Roland's advance infantry ran halfway, they heard a whizzing sound from the sky, and then sharp swords fell from the sky. Many soldiers had just raised their shields, but they had fallen down. Although some soldiers were holding shields, they still screamed and were shot in the arrows in the face of the dense rain of arrows. However, most of the Roland's soldiers still screamed and ran forward!

"Hand up the shield!" Miro raised his voice and shouted loudly!

The soldiers in the forefront of the Light Empire left and inserted huge shields on the ground. The pointed shield was inserted into the soft sandy land, and immediately erected a solid shield wall in front of the military formation!

"Prepare……"

"Prepare...Press forward..."

"Prepare……"

The officer shouted loudly, and as the opponent's enemy got closer, his dense steps were like a death-hunting cry.

Then, on this battlefield, the Roland army, which was half like a torrent, hit the shield wall fiercely!

There was constant banging sound, and the two forces collided fiercely. Some shield walls were immediately knocked open, but after the gap was opened, the Roland soldiers who had just rushed in behind were desperately discovered that they were countless sharp swords to greet them. The Roland soldiers who rushed into the gap were immediately cut into pieces when they left! The first wave of attacks hit the shield wall, and their heads were bleeding. Not only did they fail to break through, but they stopped the people behind.

"Remove the shield!!" Miro shouted loudly, and heard a constant crackling sound. The shield wall suddenly broke from the middle... The giant shields of the army of the Light Empire were linked together with two pieces. As long as one of the iron cables inside was broken, the shield would be divided into two pieces immediately!

After a shout, the empire's heavy armored infantry rushed up and quickly fought with the opponent's soldiers!

The heavy armored infantry of the empire were all professional soldiers who had undergone strict training. Their killing skills and the skills of three or five people forming teams to cooperate with the killing skills were far superior to those of the soldiers who were pieced together by the Rolands.

Often, a Roland soldier's sword had just taken off the weapon that the other party had cut, but his neck was cold and his head had been cut off by another imperial soldier!

As soon as we came into contact, countless people fell down in a miserable way!

Roddy's dragon-tooth sword had already swung, and a golden fighting spirit burst out from his sword. All the Roland soldiers who rushed to him immediately split into pieces under the golden fighting spirit, turning into a mass of flesh and blood.

Miro's swordsmanship is much more elegant than that. His swordsmanship is like a real dance. Every stroke and every thorn can immediately take away a life!

The excellent equipment and skillful fighting skills of heavy-armored infantry caused great losses to the Rolanders! Many Roland soldiers found that they had finally cut down the opponent's opponent's hard armor after fighting to the death, but they could not break through the opponent's hard armor. However, with such a stunned kung fu, the opponent's sword had already pierced himself...

"Grand Tiger, please let us come!" Seeing that the people on his side were massacred by the other party in front of him, the opponent's heavy armored infantry was like an insurmountable metal wall. A tall knight shouted in a deep voice to General Tiger beside him: "Let my knights rush, no matter how powerful the other party is, they are just infantry! I am sure to kill them!"

Tiger looked at the knight beside him coldly and said lightly: "No need." After pausing, he slowly said: "Did you see the other party's city gate? Their Thunder Whip must be waiting behind the city gate! I said, today is not the moment of a decisive battle! Today is just a temptation! I just want those guys in the army who arrogantly thought the Empire of Light were vulnerable to the attack, and what kind of enemies we were facing!"

After pausing, his tone was a little gentler. He looked at the tall knight and whispered: "Your Excellency, your knights are an indispensable force in my hands. I still want to keep you against the Thunder Whip! Please bear it for a while!"
