Chapter 4 Determination and the Spear of Longinus (3)
Suddenly, Ella was unable to open her eyes due to a flash of metal reflection. Just before a close encounter, the Guards formation that originally looked like a gray hill suddenly shone brightly!
There is no metal reflection because they deliberately covered the armor with cloth strips!
The sudden cold light obviously scared the pirates, and also scared Ella. At this moment, more than ten infantry phalanxes arranged on the second line crossed the retreating first line troops and launched an attack on the pirates!
Dare to retreat on the battlefield because the second line of infantry can provide sufficient support!
Berengar's formation did not fill up the first and second lines from the beginning. Instead, the troops on the two lines were staggered like a chess grid. This formation prepared the retreat for the first line troops from the beginning.
This left some room, and what is even more surprising is that when the first and second line troops alternated, there was no trace of chaos in the formation of the Guards!
Before the pirates could react, the almost simultaneous sound of swords being drawn frightened them again. More than a dozen infantry phalanxes advanced the front line at a unified pace and executed various combat instructions with uniform movements.
During this process, except for the voice of the herald, no one in the Guards made a single unnecessary sound.
The reason for not roaring is to better hear the instructions given!
Any individual would be unable to help but roar when faced with the pressure of death. But until the close encounter, the guards did not make a meaningless sound. This silence instead created an invisible sense of oppression, as if it were mocking
To the pirates:
"What are you yelling about? Are you afraid to embolden yourself?"
Such a Royal Guard is simply a cold war machine!
The impatient Bjorn couldn't hold back and rushed to the front line. He rolled on the battle line like a ball of fire and killed more than ten guards who surrounded him in the blink of an eye. A flag captain challenged him.
, but was penetrated by Bjorn with his helmet in one move. He put the flag captain's body on the spear and raised it high, and shouted at the pirates behind him:
"What are you afraid of! The gods are waiting for the arrival of the warriors in the Hall of Valor!"
As he spoke, he took the lead and led a small force to tear the first front line of the Guards apart from the middle. He chopped off the heads of more than a dozen Guardsmen in a row. He was about to continue charging forward, but suddenly
He found that all the Imperial Guards had withdrawn to both sides, and only he and the team he brought were left in the middle of the phalanx. Before he could react, a huge sense of oppression fell from the sky!
From Ella's perspective, a spear shot straight into the sky from the middle phalanx of the Guards, and then fell towards Bjorn and his team with a strong light of fire. Before the spear touched the ground,
The air was stagnant for a while, as if wrestling with Bjorn. But after a moment, the spear fell completely, making a deafening sound. The earth shook violently and threw many people to the ground. Ella's sword
As a result, he left his hand. A huge pit appeared on the originally flat ground, and Bjorn and the team around him disappeared from sight.
The morale of the pirates, who had just cheered up a little, was hit hard again. But the spear suddenly flew into the air from the pit on its own, and stayed on top of the pirates' heads, slowly starting to gather flames again.
The pirates began to cast their sights into the air from time to time. No one knew when or where the spear would fall again. In such an uneasy atmosphere, the Imperial Guard gradually began to gain an advantage in the battle line.
Hestein began to take action. He strode to the front of the line, and the sense of intimidation made the guardsmen unconsciously take a small step back. The pirates who were intimidated by the gun of Longinus and those who were frightened by Hesstein
The Imperial Guards, intimidated by Tayin, just created a gap the size of a step at the front of the line.
The sky is the blazing spear of Longinus. Underground is Hestein and his spear, as well as the bloody crow battle flag hanging on the spear. For this man who once conquered Longinus
Berengar obviously did not dare to attack the opponent whose gun was still coming back. He let the Spear of Longinus hang in the air for a long time to gather further strength. And Hestein was also gathering strength, and he put Ah Stein in the air.
Reese's protection is brought to its extreme, and beyond the extreme!
The balance was finally broken, and the Gun of Longinus fell. Hestein turned sideways and reached out to grab the handle of the Gun of Longinus. The powerful impact pressed Hestein into the ground.
Half a meter deep, the strong air pressure generated by the collision blew away the soldiers who were too close. Hestein's eyes were bloodshot, his lips were bitten with blood, and the bulging muscles in his body were about to burst the armor.
After shouting violently, he finally succeeded in lifting the Spear of Longinus upwards by one centimeter, and then threw the gun to the ground!
Amid the cries of the pirates, Hestein waved the bloody crow flag forward! This action was more effective than any encouragement. The pirates' morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward to fight with the guards again!
Several powerful bows and arrows were fired from behind the pirates, killing several people in a row. Someone came and reported to Hestein: "The enemy's cavalry has detoured back to the right rear of our line!"
"Don't worry about the cavalry. This coward's weapon cannot cause a fatal blow. Send a small team to intercept, and everyone else will press forward and tear apart the enemy's line with all their strength!"
Under the command of Hestein, the morale of the pirates was even higher than in the first charge, and the Guards gradually began to show signs of fatigue. The first to collapse were the ones led by Hestein himself to attack.
From the center, and then from the center to both sides, the Guards began to collapse across the board! With the dawn of victory just around the corner, the pirates used their last strength to hunt down the disintegrated Guards. Even Hestein was relieved.
Take a breath.
However, he was not happy for long.
The pirates who were rushing at the front suddenly stopped. Hestein was about to scold him, but before he could say anything, he understood the reason why the pirates stopped:
Rows of neat shield walls blocked the front of the pirates. They were originally the first line of Guards troops that collapsed after the javelin was thrown. While the second line of troops was fighting the pirates, they actually regrouped.
The second line of troops passed through the gap they had deliberately vacated. Just like the first time, the Guards seemed to have conducted a lot of training on this action. During the alternation of battle lines, the troops still did not have a single incident.
confusion.
The exhausted pirates were about to face a new force with strong momentum. Behind the shield wall, the troops that had broken up from the front line had begun to gather again.
