Chapter 42 Lost
The chaotic charge formation of the Imperial Great Swordsmen was completely different, while charging, the tomb guards still maintained a uniform array like a knife. Therefore, they were able to exert more powerful lethality - they were like a whole, forming a heavy hammer, or a mountain - a huge mountain formed by the dead - and pressed down hard towards the army of the Principal of Ive.
The formation was immediately disrupted. The human soldiers who were attacked with such extreme fierce attacks suddenly became panicked. They were not very morale at first, but they were on the verge of collapse. After the tomb guards came over, the performance of the front-row companies could be described as "defeating at one touch".
After all, a few elite soldiers cannot replace the large number of troops with moderate quality. These ordinary soldiers from warm areas traveled long distances in winter, without cold-proof clothing and insufficient supplies, they could not guarantee enough combat effectiveness. Their morale was even more sluggish. They didn't want to continue fighting.
With just one encounter, the elite tomb guards defeated the formation of the four opponents' companies and waved their long halberds to massacre. Before, the witch hunter troops, which seemed to be easy to fight against the stone tomb corpse monster and spirit-binding monster, could not take any advantage at this moment.
Although their sting swords and muskets enchanted the magic of light, they can play a certain role in the undead forces. However, even if they can break through the defensive magic of the tomb guards, they cannot break the black iron armor with powerful physical defense capabilities. The witch hunter who specializes in small-scale combat also seems to be restrained in large-scale corps battles.
Their dexterous movements and strange skills were completely useless in the battlefield where everyone was crowded. Soon, most of the witch hunters were injured and killed. As the rest had no choice, they also retreated with the ordinary soldiers of the Principality of Ive.
"Quick! Let the soldiers who escaped retreat from the gaps in various arrays and organize a line of defense in front of the Huntian Divine Chariot! Block these undead!"
Seeing more than 2,000 people in front of him suddenly collapsed, Duke Constantine quickly ordered that the soldiers from various arrays of the second line squeezed inward, and a gap was revealed for the escaped soldiers to pass through. Although the Duchy of Ivy had been broken for a while, it was not completely destroyed. The defenders formed a solid line of defense with heavy armored halberd soldiers, crossbowmen and long bowmen to block the strong attack of the undead.
However, although it was impossible to decide the winner in a short time. But as his army was gradually eaten by the undead and suppressed, Duke Constantine's mood would not be much better. He roared in anger, demanding that the soldiers defend the front, demanding the reserve team detours from both wings, asking the Yanyang Knights to organize counterattacks, demanding this, demanding that that... However, in the end, all of them were resolved one by one by Valed.
The human soldiers who detoured from the two wings were blocked by the undead who ran out of the city gate to form the second thicker and wider front. The Yanyang Knights were under the focus of the magic attack device and could not form an effective assault formation. As for the defending front... they were shaking in the charge that the undead army had been stronger once.
The human army, which was completely suppressed, was already difficult to start a counterattack. They were cold and hungry, with low morale. The formation was broken and full of complaints. The original combat power of 100% may not be able to be even 100%.
Although Duke Constantine kept trying to replace the collapsed troops and then replace the new force. However, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before his army was defeated.
And the only highlight, in this painful and suppressed battle, the only victory of the Principality of Ive was still accomplished by the combat priests of Sigma - although they hated these upright and decent combat priests. But at this time, the Duke of Constantine was the only one who could rely on.
When a team of combat priests roared the holy name of "Sigma" and launched a counterattack from the flank to the undead troops, the Principality of Ive maintained a slightly advantage of about half an hour.
Just like the battle that day on the outskirts of Akendorf, Valed first lost the positions of several companies, and then integrated these combat priests into the undead slime-like body, wrapped them up, and then launched a siege from all directions to slowly digest them...
Thanks to the efforts of these combat priests, the left wing of the Principality of Ivey once again organized a relatively strong front, so it could be supported longer than the front and right wings.
"So, as long as you take the initiative and don't make any mistakes, it will be very easy to win."
While sighing, Vared was commanding his undead army to launch an offensive. Speaking of which, if geographical conditions were relatively equal, Vared might not be able to defeat this elite human force. However, after making full use of climate and psychology to carry out strategies, Vared's army could easily win.
At the same time, in the air, the vampire officers also completed the suppression of the imperial mages. Most of the weak mage apprentices were dead. Nearly one-third of the imperial mages in a reorganized combat company were killed.
The vampire officers used serrated daggers, whip swords, long swords and short spears to teach these proud mages a lesson. They won a great victory in close combat.
"Master Andrew, can't you think of something?!"
Seeing the front line collapsed again, Duke Constantine finally couldn't help but turn around and complain to the people next to him - however, when he turned around, he found that the Imperial Master who was originally standing beside him was missing! This scared him into a cold sweat.
"What the hell is going on?" Duke Constantine couldn't help but scream.
"That's right, that's what happened." At the same time, above the city gate, Vared suddenly jumped forward, then turned around at the same time with a silent floating technique, closed his arms to block his head, and then heard a "boom", and the high-temperature fireball exploded, smashing his witchcraft cloak and the defensive barrier attached to the Misilver Chainmail in an instant.
The explosion of fire and smoke disappeared, and there was a vast white area in the air.
"Has it succeeded?"
The ** Master Andrew, who was wearing a mage robe and white-bearded hair, had this thought, and felt a severe pain in his left arm, and one arm was pulled down from his shoulder!
