The dark night soon came to the end of this journey. Everyone was busy and running this night, but when the first ray of sunlight struck the earth, every soldier stopped what they were doing and instead held hands.
Weapons that accompany them through life and death, and step into their respective positions.
As the light gradually became clearer, the sound of war drums became louder and louder, finally resounding throughout the entire land. In the Iron-Blooded Marquis's coalition camp, phalanxes stepped out from their respective camps one by one and lined up in front of the formation. Dust followed their footsteps and flew high.
It started, but it could not cover up the land paved by hundreds of thousands of people. Then, hundreds of catapults, heavy ballistae, and several siege towers, dragged by several teams of strong men, stopped in the square.
rear of the array.
at the same time.
The walls of the city of Ix were already crowded with longbowmen who were ready for battle, and in the square holes of the city wall, the sharp edges of heavy crossbows were no longer hidden, twinkling in the morning light.
Different from the usual offensive and defensive battles, the gate of Ix City is open.
Groups of infantrymen holding heavy shields filed out, followed by various rare or common infantry units. Finally, light cavalry and heavy cavalry, led by Troxi and Milok, poured out of the city gate.
A seemingly endless line of defense was laid out in front of the battlefield.
The atmosphere was horribly depressing, and neither party made any move.
After a long time, a figure emerged from the rebel camp. He jumped over the dense crowd below and stood in mid-air in the center of the camp.
On top of the city wall of Ix City, Aranza smiled slightly and stepped towards the sky. There seemed to be an invisible staircase under his feet, carrying him to the front of the Iron-Blooded Marquis.
A strange light flashed in the Iron-Blooded Marquis's eyes, and he said: "You are indeed not simple!"
Walking in mid-air with the peak strength of a senior warrior is enough to prove that the son of the King of Heroes is unusual.
But Aranza shook her head and said, "Well, it's not simple. Only after fighting it can you know!"
"You won't know until you hit him!"
The Iron-Blooded Marquis raised his head and laughed several times, then his expression turned cold and he said, "Where is my daughter?!"
"Now, it seems that this is not the time to care about this matter, right?"
The corner of Aranza's mouth turned up with an inexplicable arc, and she said: "Do you think I will exchange her for you safe and sound like last time? If you want to see her, just step through the gate of Ix City and see her in person.
Come and see me!”
The Iron-Blooded Marquis did not continue to speak. His face was extremely gloomy, as if the night had not yet left his face. He snorted coldly at Aranza, then turned and returned to his camp. Aranza, on the other hand, lingered on the Iron-Blooded Marquis's back.
After a while, he walked towards the city wall.
The war broke out immediately.
Almost at the same moment, the catapults, heavy catapults, and long arrows in the hands of the archers on both sides simultaneously let out loud or sharp whistles, and rushed towards the opposite sky in dense numbers!
The originally blue sky instantly cast shadows, covering the entire battlefield.
On the ground, the soldiers who had been accumulating for a long time finally let out a roar, and countless footsteps moved. After a moment, they joined together, shaking the earth, and collided fiercely!
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere in the oncoming front line, and on both sides of the front line, there were burning boulders, thick heavy crossbow arrows, or even small long arrows.
There is no need to aim, every time it falls, it can take away the life of a soldier!
But when the scale of the war exceeds 100,000, this amount of damage is insignificant.
The place where the harvesting of life is most intense is always the battle line where the two sides collide. Countless warriors fall here, and countless more warriors step over their remains and continue to fight. The shouts, howls, and even the collision of weapons and equipment, they
They are connected together and turned into strong lines in the history books. Even the war drums of both sides compete with each other in rhythm and beat on the chest of every soldier.
With a tacit understanding, neither party immediately threw themselves into the Holy Realm.
At this time, Troxi led a group of heavy cavalry to appear at the rear of the battlefield. Their strong horse hooves stepped on the ground, quickly and firmly circled to the flank of the battlefield, and then penetrated hard into a rebel infantry phalanx!
This infantry phalanx was not on the line of battle between the two armies. Troxi's behavior undoubtedly caused the entire heavy cavalry to fall into the siege of the infantry phalanx. However, she did not hesitate at all, and the long sword in her hand bloomed with a ray of combat skill.
, slashed down violently, opened a gap in the infantry square, and led the troops to rush in!
In the blink of an eye, the heavy cavalry was deeply embedded in the infantry square!
"That's it!"
At this time, a thick voice sounded, and a strong, even fat rebel commander pushed out from the high-standing war shields. The long-handled sledgehammer in his hand suddenly raised and struck Troxi.
The war horse under your crotch!
"Damn it!"
Troxi, who was caught in the battle, had no way to escape and could only curse. Then the horse's head was hit by a sledgehammer. Without even a wailing cry, Troxi fell to the ground immediately. Troxi was thrown off the horse.
, the red figure was too eye-catching. At this moment, more than a dozen long swords penetrated from the gaps in the shield, aiming at Troxi who was caught off guard!
"Don't even think about it!"
But there was another shout, and a figure stood in front of Troxi. The shield in his hand flashed, and he opened a combat skill protection, blocking all attacks. The owner of the shield then shouted again, and stepped heavily.
He stepped on the ground and pushed forward. Using his brute force, he pushed Troxi to a safe distance!
This person is the adjutant who has been following Tracy, Panson.
“Well done!”
Tracy only gave a hasty praise, stood up, and without any hesitation, glanced at the rebel commander who had attacked her earlier.
Of course, the rebel commander would not avoid the battle. He swung the sledgehammer again and attacked Troxi from the side.
However, Troxi's speed was beyond the expectations of the rebel officer. The moment the sledgehammer was about to succeed, she suddenly lay down on her back and let the sledgehammer swing from above. Troxi then tensed up.
With the help of his body, he stabbed out with a sword and hit the rebel officer's chest.
It's just that the progress of the entire battle was faster than expected. No one would feel sorry for the death of the rebel commander, and no one would applaud Troxi's extremely superb fighting skills. Even Troxi herself did not take a look at the results of the battle.
, he led the heavy cavalry team, which was wavering in the infantry square but never fell, to continue fighting.
At this time, the commanders of both sides were frequently mobilizing troops, trying to open a gap in the enemy's defense line. As a result, the original fighting line was divided into several lanes in an instant, and groups of soldiers moved, culled, and moved on the battlefield.
Culling. When a group of soldiers suffers too many casualties and cannot be assembled into an effective force, the surviving soldiers rush to find another team that is still intact and continue to fight under the leadership of the officer.
Aranza always stood on the city wall, watching the battlefield change little by little.
Beside him, only Kim Gates, the commander, and the new head of the Lane family, Elita Lane, were left. Except for the strong men from the Sanctuary who were still getting ready, the others had already gone to the battlefield, including the old man.
Follett put on his long-dusted armor and led a team of soldiers to the battlefield.
Time passed little by little, but the sound of fighting was still fierce, even more intense. However, at this time, except for the shouts of soldiers and the collision of weapons and equipment, there was no other noise on the battlefield. The catapults and heavy catapults of both sides were firing.
The ammunition has been consumed, and there are only one or two long arrows left in the quiver behind the archer's back. These two long arrows will not be used for regular attacks, and will only be stringed when necessary.
"It's time for me to set off."
Elita stood beside Aranza and spoke calmly.
Aranza nodded, and then sent a message from his mind, which was the contracted "mount" passed to him, Longlong. At this time, Longlong was still carrying Li through the battlefield. With his size advantage, the little guy and the little dragon
The combined speed of killing enemies was unimaginable. After receiving Aranza's message, Longlong let out a soft whistle that was still full of meaning, and took Li back to the city wall.
"Well, you follow Elita and protect her safety." Aranza stretched out her finger and touched the head of this "mountain".
"You don't have to say that!"
Li sneered at Aranza, then looked at Elita and said, "Are you ready?"
"certainly!"
As the new head of the Lane family, the way Aranza arranged for Elita to appear. To be precise, the way Kim Gates arranged for her to appear was under Aranza's instructions. It can no longer be described as shocking.
.
In the quiet gate of Ix City, Ilita was wearing jet black armor and riding out on horseback. The red cloak on her back fluttered in the wind. The lion pattern of the Lane family was particularly clear. Behind her,
It is a 5,000-man cavalry regiment composed of the Blades of the God of War and the elite of the Red Sharp Legion, followed by a 800-member magician regiment, and a 100-member priest regiment provided by the Temple of the Moon Goddess!
Such an army is an unmatched force wherever it is placed!
Even the Iron-blooded Marquis and the army commanders in the rebel camp couldn't help but take a breath of air when they saw this army rushing into the battlefield!
"Damn it, we can't let this army join the battle!" Beside the Iron-blooded Marquis, a legion commander shouted through gritted teeth.
Little Iron Blood was also paying attention to the battle situation, but his eyes only glanced at Ilita at the front of the army. After confirming that the leader was a woman, he said: "What's the big deal? Isn't it just a woman?!"
"
The legion commanders didn't even look at him. They had already learned to ignore the little iron-blooded remarks.
They would not explain to Little Iron Blood that the woman he was talking about was the new head of the Lane family.
This time, Xiao Jie Xue was rare and did not get angry because he was ignored. He seemed to feel the unusually heavy atmosphere among the legion commanders. So he just moved his mouth, cursed a silent curse, and then stopped.
At this time, the strong army commander who had previously had a conflict with Little Iron Blood rubbed his fists and said, "How about you let me go up and crush this army?"
The Iron-Blooded Marquis did not speak immediately. He moved his gaze to the city wall, where Aranza was still standing upright. He seemed to sense the Iron-Blooded Marquis's gaze, and suddenly turned his face, with a smile on his lips.
There is irony and provocation in this smile.
The Iron-Blooded Marquis was startled, and then looked away. He thought for a moment, and finally shook his head to reject the legion commander's suggestion, saying: "Deploy our magician regiment, let an entire infantry phalanx act as a guard, and lead them to the battlefield.
, cut off Elita Lane’s troops as much as possible!”
