Chapter 1,499 The military formation strangles, the balance of victory and defeat tilts
Hilma Hogg.
Commander-in-Chief of the Dagalisni Garrison.
He is the Earl of the Kingdom of Avalon, and his family territory is Hogburg.
It was a medium-to-large state city with a population of more than 500,000.
And Hilma himself has legendary mid-level strength.
He is over ninety years old and still looks like a man in his prime.
The position of head of the Hogg family has long been passed down to his children and grandchildren.
He himself served the great city of Dagalisini wholeheartedly.
Hogburg is also a strategic location within the jurisdiction of Giant City, where there is the largest livestock farm in the surrounding area.
The broad Luerlu River flows from west to east, and some of its tributaries even extend into the jurisdiction of the giant city of Lentax.
Relying on the fertile river valley plain, the development of Hogburg went smoothly.
It has also become the most important material turnover place around the giant city of Dagalisini.
The Giant City City Hall will intentionally gather foreign materials from the waterway to Hogburg first.
Try to choose cities on the upper reaches of the Ruerlu River for trade.
This allowed Fort Hawke and the entire Hawke family to live a fairly prosperous life.
And all of this was achieved through Hilma Hogg’s dedicated service.
As the commander of the giant city, he is usually also a senior official in the hands of Marquis Ekmeledin.
He was also present when he participated in the negotiation just now.
He could vaguely feel the pressure coming from Zong Shen.
I just didn't expect that the Marquis would launch the plan so decisively, activate the two ancestral magic circles, and switch from negotiation to war.
Naturally, Hilma knew something about the situation in these two magic circles.
They come from the ancestor of the Clift family, the powerful spellcasting demigod.
The giant city of Dagalisini has kept a low profile over the years.
In Hilma's view, it would be better if the Marquis's governance strategy was more radical.
The Clift family are completely disguised as pigs and tigers, with a profound background.
But it seems that because of some unspeakable secrets, Marquis Ekméledin is always cautious.
Regarding the secret, Hilma once asked the Marquis himself privately.
What I got was: "Old man, being too curious will only affect your future."
This puzzled Hilma and at the same time cast a veil of mystery on the past of the Clift family.
Rumor has it that the genius ancestor of the Clift family once offended King Arthur.
But because of his military exploits, he was able to retain the huge city and fiefdom.
But this also led to the descendants of the Clift family becoming conservative and low-key.
The specific things have long been unknown.
At least here, I'm afraid no one knows the truth.
If you go to the imperial city or those grand dukes, you should be able to understand the cause and effect of the matter.
Although she is curious, Hilma also shoulders the family mission after all.
The only way for Fort Hawke to go is to firmly cling to the thighs of the Clift family.
At this time, Hilma Hogg was on the clock tower on the first circle.
This is one of the few commanding heights in the circle.
You can see the battle situation in the arena not far away.
The garrison of the giant city of Dagalisni was almost massacred one-sidedly.
The scene looked chaotic and tragic.
There are quite a few legendary powerhouses on our side, except for the two legendary officers who were previously captured, and the four legends who were brought to the core circle by Marquis Ekmeledin to be on standby.
There are still six legendary powerhouses present. If you include Hilma herself, there are seven legends.
That's right, under normal conditions, there are thirteen legendary strong men in the giant city of Galisni.
While in the giant city of Lentax, apart from the four legends controlled by Blood Rose, there were only two legends in the garrison, one of whom was a magister.
However, although the number of Dagarisni's legends is large, their quality is average.
They are mainly legendary low-level powerhouses.
From the perspective of the lord, it is the kind with a single attribute in the early 1000s.
A legend with this level of attributes is the younger brother among legends.
It's easy to beat the average sixth-level epic-level warrior, but that's all.
In the same-level fight, low-level legends like this don't take much advantage.
The greater role is to complete the control of the incomplete military formation.
Military formations are crucial to group operations!
However, a complete military formation is very precious.
And the requirements for leaders are very high.
Many times, even if a giant city has a powerful military formation, it may not have the right ruler to make it effective.
In fact, it is easy to understand as long as the general formation is regarded as a magic formation composed of people.
The commander who leads the military formation to attack is equivalent to the core of the magic formation.
And all the soldiers involved are the patterns in the magic circle.
Two hard conditions are indispensable.
At the moment, soldiers on the side of the giant city of Dagalisni are being hanged and beaten.
The opponent's knights and swordsmen formation are advancing rapidly with terrifying momentum.
Especially the military formation that can emit moon blades from the edge is even more powerful. From a distance, it looks like an unstoppable posture.
"Sir, the second sequence is collapsing."
"And the collapse was clearly faster than we expected!"
On the bell tower, the garrison adjutant Dizzy Maddock said in a deep voice.
Hilma glanced at her adjutant and answered in an indifferent tone.
"Are you scared?"
"We were all sworn to protect the honor of this city and the Clift family."
His words made the adjutant look hesitant.
Too long of peace has long sapped everyone's fighting spirit.
Although he promised to die for the city when he swore an oath.
But when it came time to face a life-or-death decision, hesitation took over all my emotions.
In a place where the principle of war is the principle, there are less than one out of ten soldiers who are truly willing to die.
Hilma sighed slightly.
He knew that Marquis Ekmeledin had already prepared for the worst.
In the past few days, a team of elites was dispatched to send all the family members to Hogburg.
It is the most powerful defensive city within the jurisdiction of the giant city of Dagalisini.
Coupled with the developed inland river shipping, if an accident occurs, the family can always take the magic speedboat to go upstream or downstream.
Hidden among thousands of ships every day.
Hilma was unsure about the outcome of this battle.
The pre-war plan was perfect, but in the face of a powerful enemy, the plan could only delay the defeat.
Currently, Hilma places more hopes on the back of the ancestors of the Clift family.
He silently counted in his heart, and at the same time he was ready to fulfill his oath.
See Hilma remain silent after admonishing.
Dizzy Maddock, the adjutant of the garrison, also regained his composure a little.
As if the humiliation of death and defeat were no longer terrible.
The outcome of the war in Endless Continent is actually very easy to predict.
First look at the overall strength of the troops, and then look at the differences in types of troops and levels.
Finally, there is the number and comparison of legends and higher-level powerhouses on both sides.
Magic circles, various defensive buildings and equipment are also important.
The fortresses deployed in the first circle are assisting in the counterattack.
Trying to suppress Zong Shen's army around the arena, soldiers on both sides were killed every moment.
It's just that in comparison, the rate of casualties on our side is obviously higher.
From a long-term overall perspective, the opponent's army is more resistant to fighting.
This is even more highlighted when battle groups collide.
The trouble doesn't end there, except that there is a gap in the quality and strength of both sides' armies.
There is also a guard-level living ancestor who is attacking the magic circle phantom barrier on the ground in the first circle.
When the magic circle on the first circle is broken, the disadvantage of the Dagarisni garrison will be further revealed.
Taking a deep breath, Hilma raised her head and looked at the castle in the inner circle.
He was also a little confused.
…
In the battlefield.
Naturally, Mr. Zong couldn’t stay idle.
He holds dual-wielding weapons, holding [Moon Wolf's Fang (Level 2 Heritage)] and [Wrathful Roar Warhammer (Level 2 Shining Light)] in his left and right hands respectively.
The dark gold arm is holding a [Five Color Gemstone Shield (Luminous Level 1)].
This gives him the qualifications to be both offensive and defensive.
More like a majestic god of war.
[Moon Wolf Fang] continuously plays [Moonlight].
The bright light is like the skirt of the moon god.
The [Angry Roaring Warhammer] slammed forward with violent light.
Zong Shen is not only multi-tasking, but also skilled in attacking and maneuvering.
His eyes turned red as he entered the active skill [Rage] that comes with the war hammer.
After entering the angry state, the sanity will be reduced by 35%, the pain perception will be reduced by 50%, the attack speed will be increased by 100%, and the strength will be increased by 1500 points.
In addition, the attack has a [impact] effect, causing an impact shock 3 meters near the hit point. The state lasts for 10 minutes and has a cooling time of 12 hours.
This allows Zong Shen to cause AOE damage every time he swings his hammer.
Causes all enemies within three meters to fly into the air.
This wasn't enough. After Zong Shen cleared the enemies in front of him, he suddenly raised his neck and let out a "roar".
A buff symbol with a hammer icon suddenly appeared above the heads of the surrounding friendly forces.
Both attack speed and movement speed have been significantly improved.
This caused the killing machine to spin faster.
This is the skill [Crazy Roar].
Its effect is to let out a huge roar, increase the double speed of itself and the surrounding friendly forces within 50 meters by 60%, and at the same time obtain the roaring stimulus, temporarily forgetting fear, the duration is 5 minutes, and the cooling time is 6 hours.
Whether it was [Moonlight] or violent hammer blows, Zong Shen only left stumps and broken arms wherever he went.
The scene was bloody and cruel.
Zong Shen also completely let go and was no longer as petty as before.
The high-level soldiers could never finish their harvest, and he was tired of the sloppy tactics he had adopted in the past to preserve his harvest.
Now that it is known that the Clift family has a big secret, there is no need to play tricks.
After Zong Shen fought for several minutes, Gugat broke through the magic circle shadow barrier on the ground in the first circle.
This caused the entire first circle to shake violently.
Closer to the west, the ground suddenly rose up, and a tall and neat house was pushed open by a stone pillar.
The stone pillar is dozens of meters in diameter, and at the end is a very thick magic array disk.
It looks like it is made of metal, so it is obviously different from the stone pillar.
It seems that that thing is the core of the first circle of magic circle.
With his hands free, Gugat flew towards the core circle under Zong Shen's instruction.
At this moment, it is protected by a thick multi-color mask.
With a solid value of up to 80 million points, it is difficult to be broken.
This is another hard nut that requires Gugart to spend time gnawing on.
Zong Shen did not dispatch Gujiat to attack the garrison.
Now that we have the advantage, we just need to keep advancing the army.
Letting Gugat serve as the tip of the spear to break the shield is the best choice.
With Zong Shen, Colby and others on the battlefield, there will definitely be no trouble.
At this time, Zong Shen's previous [Possessed by the Overlord of Power] state also reached the duration limit.
This caused Zong Shen's figure to shrink suddenly.
After the status skill ends, his attributes will be reduced by a certain amount.
A brief period of weakness is inevitable.
But this weakness is also relative.
Even with only his bare attributes left, Zong Shen is still a strong man above the legendary high-level level.
However, the sudden decrease in attack still affected his output efficiency.
Fortunately, he does not lack all kinds of blessed transformation skills.
The dark gold arm held up a shield to block the giant crossbow fired from him.
Zong Shen held the war hammer with one arm and struck the ground, activating the new buff state [Hammer King Possession].
After activating this skill, his size suddenly increases by 3.0 times.
The strength attribute is increased by 1.5 times.
The upper limit of health is increased by 3.0 times.
However, the movement speed and attack speed are reduced by 50%.
This makes him look a bit bulky and slow.
But the gain is not limited to this, in the state of [Hammer King Possession].
Zong Shen's basic bludgeoning damage will be increased by 5.0 times.
When the attack target's strength is less than one-third of its own, if it successfully hits, there is a chance that the opponent will be hammered into pulp and all health points will be cleared at once.
This is equivalent to a [instant kill] effect.
With his increased strength, the elite fifth- and sixth-level soldiers blocking the road might be blown to pieces.
This additional effect greatly increases his mowing ability.
Now he is the striker.
The Knights, led by Colby, added some high-level wolf cavalry who would be used later to shuttle and strangle them on both sides.
The main force is several swordsman formations that continue to advance.
The torrential moon blade caused the scene to be almost completely shrouded in moonlight.
Zong Shen walked at the forefront of the military formation. He was a strong general and a brave forward.
Under the real-time control of the various military formations, Zong Shen was fully aware of the changes in the overall situation.
The direction and rhythm of the military formation's advance can be accurately adjusted at any time.
The battle between the two sides was like a millstone of flesh and blood, and the millstone on Zong Shen's side was obviously more powerful.
And Zong Shen is a hard diamond embedded in this flesh and blood millstone, accelerating the opponent's demise.
It is worth noting that the status of [Hammer King Possession] lasts only 8 minutes.
But the cooling time is as long as 96 hours.
Zong Shende tried his best to neutralize the offensive of the Dagalisni garrison within eight minutes.
Now it depends on how many casualties the opponent has to suffer before his morale collapses.
With the disintegration of the first circle of magic circles, the speed at which the giant city's garrison was being strangled was accelerating.
The legends mixed in the military formation were also captured one after another.
The number of military formations they can maintain is getting smaller and smaller.
What is more troublesome is the attack from those defensive fortresses after advancing for a certain distance.
