Demon Alliance, border of Wells Empire - Shuofeng Pass.
A group of soldiers changing defense walked up to the city tower with neat steps. Questions and orders were heard one after another, and lights were lit on the plain outside the pass.
It was an outpost sent out, and it turned out to be a posture as if facing a powerful enemy. Because more than ten days ago, the army of the Sbia Empire suddenly appeared on the dividing line and attacked the noble hunting team of the Demon Empire for no reason, so
All levels on the verge of the dividing line have strengthened their defenses. Two of the main levels have even dispatched several highly mobile troops to help the hunting team retreat.
For several days, the soldiers guarding the border watched as the hunting parties and border residents who were attacked continued to withdraw, especially the nobles who were attacked. The situation was simply miserable.
Most of them are the children of nobles who are about to be canonized. They should be young people in their prime, but now their hands and feet are mutilated, and they can only lie on stretchers bleeding and crying.
In the past, the generals guarding the gate would have ordered all their troops to go out for revenge. But now that the troops at hand are limited, and the opponent is the Sibia army, whoever changes it will have to think about it. Not to mention that our side is fighting against gods and demons.
The border line was attacked, and even if they wanted to negotiate, they couldn't come up with a high-sounding reason. In desperation, the gatekeepers had no choice but to report the news of the attack immediately and send people to respond.
As for how the emperor wants to deal with it, it is not a headache for the border generals. They just need to protect the border.
Five or six Welsh soldiers were guarding the inner guard point outside the pass, talking in low voices. From time to time, some people stood up and looked at the guard point in the distance.
Half of the dark night has passed, and the autumn night wind blows across the wilderness, making people feel cold all over their bodies. The little leader shrank his neck and asked his subordinates to add more firewood to the fire.
"It's so cold!" An older soldier shook his head, "I said captain, when you get off duty later, let's go have a drink?"
"Isn't it said that the current situation is tense?" Before the captain could stand up and look out, a young soldier interjected. He was a new recruit who had been holding his spear tightly all night. "The Sbia army is here.
The dividing line between gods and demons appears and we kill so many people. If we go out to drink, we will be punished by the superior, right?"
"Little brat, what do you know?" the veteran grinned, "Besides weapons, alcohol is our best friend. Not to mention that there is no war yet, even if there is a war, drinking will not be prohibited. In elite troops, fighting is
Drink strong wine before the war and red wine after the war. If you win the battle, you can drink as much good wine as you want... But you, a rookie, have no chance of joining the elite army."
"Is that so, sir?" the young soldier asked the captain who had just sat down with a pair of confused eyes.
"Absolutely." The captain picked up a branch and poked the firewood in the fire, "Don't be afraid, we are fine here."
"Why?" The young soldier was even more confused, "They killed many nobles."
"That's what the old man said. Who knows what happened on the dividing line? Those bullshit guards are not strong enough to protect the master. Some of them suffered a loss and framed it for the divine army." The captain chuckled, "The battle between gods and demons is the only one.
How long will it take for it to end! An empire like Sibia that has just finished a civil war, and its citizens have no problem eating, why should they fight a war? The dividing line between gods and demons is hundreds of miles narrow in places, and nearly a thousand miles wide in places. This is terrible
It’s not the small ditch in front of your house that you can cross in one step.”
"Did you hear that? Learn more, otherwise you will always be a rookie." After the veteran taught the rookie a lesson, he turned around and put on a flattering smile, "The captain just sees further than us. He deserves to have been to a military school."
"I know..." The rookie nodded and asked curiously: "I heard that the Sibia army is very powerful in fighting, right?"
"Whether it's powerful or not, I haven't seen it with my own eyes." The recruit's question was a bit difficult to answer. The captain thought for a while and then said, "But when we were in school, the commander analyzed the characteristics of the Sibia army for us."
"Is this still taught in school?" Several soldiers became more energetic and begged the captain, "Tell me about it, sir!"
"Actually speaking, the most striking feature of the Sibia Army is that they run fast." After a moment of intoxication, the captain cleared his throat and scolded the Sibia Army according to the previous instructor's words, "When encountering those If they encounter an army that is weaker than themselves, they will gather together like vultures and besiege them; but if they encounter an army that is stronger than themselves, they will run away and run away quickly. The Sibia army is not good at attacking by force and has always fought in the wild. They dare not take the initiative to attack those well-defended cities unless they are forced into a desperate situation. Just like now, the most they can do is attack the hunting team, and they will not get close to our Shuofeng Pass at all."
"In this way, we are very safe." The recruit's expression of joy was mixed with a little disappointment.
"Anyway, we can't fight this time." The veteran sitting next to the captain chuckled, "From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of any divine empire that dares to cross the dividing line between gods and demons to fight on its own. We will not fight them. That’s not bad! Even at the end of the war between gods and demons, they used despicable tricks to escape from our legion..."
The captain nodded and confirmed what the veteran said. Not to mention a small leader like him who was not an officer, even an ordinary-level officer did not know the details of the Battle of Tucheng before the end of the war between gods and demons. In the propaganda agency, Especially under the strong encouragement of the Demon Palace, the Sibia army turned into a despicable, dirty force with little combat effectiveness. The reason why they were able to escape back to the Divine Alliance was nothing more than using some despicable tricks. And such propaganda , in the demon alliance armies, especially those empires that had been defeated by Sibiya, the spread was so widespread that the middle and lower-level officers had no vigilance at all.
"Oh, I will be laid off in a while." The captain stood up and looked into the distance, then pulled out the torch on the ground and waved an "everything is normal" signal to the city wall, "Go and have a drink first, and then go back Have a sweet dream, hey..."
The torch that was inserted into the ground stopped a few inches from the ground. The captain moved his gaze a little bit and saw something black grabbing the handle at the bottom of the torch. After he concentrated on distinguishing it, he realized that it turned out to be a Only an arm!
The captain opened his mouth suddenly, but could not make any sound. At the same time, he felt that his body was no longer cold, and warm currents appeared from the chest and back and moved down the body, but the feeling was not very comfortable and wet. . The captain's wide eyes saw that the arm holding the lower end of the torch was moving. First, the elbow and lower limbs sank to the ground, and then a body covered in weeds moved under him. The weeds were like those under his heels. The weeds are exactly the same, and there are even flowers among them.
After a moment of dizziness, the captain could no longer stand, but he couldn't fall either, because there was something supporting him behind his back, and he couldn't even turn his head - his body covered in weeds slightly adjusted its direction, and one foot was bent
He stood up and formed a stable support with his hands, then put his other foot against the captain's stomach and slowly lowered his body. From a distance, the little leader looked like he was sitting facing the fire.
Same as coming down.
After being forced to sit down, the captain saw his soldiers. The veteran who had been chatting just now had his mouth slightly open and his eyes were dull. The recruit who liked to ask various questions had his body twitching slightly... There was a very subtle sound behind him.
The sound should be something being withdrawn from his body. A strong pain hit him, and the captain closed his arrogant eyes forever.
The body holding the torch continued to move, raised his head slightly, looked around, and then said in a very low voice to the grass next to him: "Squad 7, the inner sentry has been cleared, there is no abnormality, and we are on standby."
A pair of interlocked palms immediately stretched out from the grass. The palm of the left hand faced the distance and remained motionless, while the right hand kept repeating the action of covering the palm of the left hand and then moving away, with only some pauses.
But if you look at it from a distance, you will find a faint light spot that is constantly flashing next to the fire. From its flashing pattern, some people can interpret some information, and this information will be gathered somewhere, and then
It was transmitted to a place five miles away from the gate of the checkpoint, and this place has a special name, called the Frontline Attack Command!
Out of the sight of the city wall defenders, one hand reached into the air, and then swung downwards neatly - In the field below the checkpoint, large tracts of weeds began to move, groups and rows of weeds like hundreds of strips.
The poisonous snakes swimming towards the cave quickly, resolutely and unanimously came towards the Shuofengguan city wall.
"What is that?" A soldier with excellent eyesight on the city wall poked his head out and said, "Sir, the wind is a bit strange."
"Strange?" An officer standing behind him tilted his head, "Do you think the signal sent by the sentry outside the city is normal?"
"yes."
"Then there's no problem."
"It's really strange!" The soldier persisted in his doubts, "Sir, come and take a look."
"You are really troublesome!" the officer complained, came behind the soldier, looked in the direction of his finger, but saw nothing in the dark, so he patted the soldier's head with the handle of his knife, "Don't do it.
I was so surprised that I went to clean the toilet tomorrow morning."
"Oh!" The soldier with excellent eyesight nodded, turned around in annoyance, and then exclaimed.
"What's going on up there?" On the inside of the city wall, a few soldiers guarding the doorway looked up, only to see a few blurry shadows falling straight down. Several people jumped to the side at the same time - only to hear a continuous "bang bang" sound.
, several corpses fell to the ground.
Without thinking at all, several soldiers shouted at the same time, "Enemy attack - enemy attack!"
With a sound of "Poof!", a huge illuminated magic ball appeared on the city wall, and immediately the sound of killing outside the city wall was loud! After the wingmen of Sbia's army passed over the city wall, about three hundred people standing on the city wall
Most of the Welsh soldiers on duty were swept off the city wall, and only about thirty people were left looking at the sky and shouting loudly. More than thirty throats that had lost their real voices were trembling, as if they were being torn apart, with sharp sounds.
It was spread everywhere - but before they could shout three times, more than two hundred Sibia soldiers silently jumped onto the city top!
No one knew how they got close, no one knew how they climbed up the city wall. The moment they jumped onto the city wall, more than 30 Welsh soldiers who turned around were dumbfounded. They looked at Sbia.
The soldier stretched his arms in the air and raised his knife over his head. Then there was a flash of cold light and the screams suddenly stopped.
The moment these Sibia soldiers stepped onto the city wall, more than two hundred long poles with the same height as the city wall fell outward from behind them. The soldiers under the city grabbed the front and rear ends, and stepped back a few steps at the same time, waiting for the officer's command.
Under the order, the soldier holding the rear end rushed forward at the same time, while the soldier in front bit the back of the knife with his mouth, hugged the head of the pole with both hands, jumped up, and stepped on the almost vertical wall with his body sideways.
Pushed by the pole, he strode all the way to the top of the city, which was twenty or thirty times faster than using a ladder!
In the blink of an eye, thousands of Sibia soldiers were sent up the city wall by this long pole!
"Enemy attack—enemy attack!"
Not far from the city wall, a battalion of Welsh soldiers were resting. When the officer heard the warning, he drew his sword with a "swish" sound and led the troops towards the city wall along the road. When he was still more than a hundred steps away from the city wall,
, a lighting magic ball appeared, and the crowd of more than 500 soldiers was exposed to the bright light without any obstruction, and was immediately shot at by the winged troops that turned back to the city wall in the sky!
The remaining soldiers continued to charge forward under the leadership of the officers, but were blocked by the Sbia troops pouring down from the city wall. The two sides started a fierce battle fifty steps away from the city gate. There was a rain of blood, and the Wells side was forced to
After retreating dozens of steps, thanks to the arrival of a law enforcement team of more than a hundred people from behind, we managed to secure the street in a thrilling manner. But at this time, Sbia's army had already removed the bolts of the city gate!
Everyone knows that once the city gate is opened, the consequences will be disastrous. What the two sides are fighting for is this moment of time!
At this time, the commander-in-chief of Shuofeng Pass arrived shirtless, waving the long sword in his hand: "Take back the city wall!"
He commanded groups of disheveled Welsh soldiers to counterattack towards the city gate. There was no formation, no encouragement, or even weapons and armor. All they had was the passion to serve the country! And... the fear of death after breaking through the barrier.
.
One after another, lighting magic balls appeared in the sky, and waves of arrows flew into the Wells counterattack troops. However, thousands of Wells soldiers were still shouting, rushing towards the city wall without hesitation, and using their own flesh and blood to
His body was filled with flowers of blood one after another on the front where Sibia charged.
The blooming blood flowers are connected together from front to back, left and right, and turn into roaring blood waves!
Facing the almost crazy counterattack by the Welsh army, the Sibia army that entered the city wall used all means. The archers who blocked the distance from a distance drew their bows and fired arrows at extremely fast speeds, and the soldiers at the forefront slashed and killed side by side.
Facing the charging enemies, the soldiers behind threw throwing axes, daggers, javelins, long swords, swords, stones and other weapons they could find to support the front.
Seeing that the two sides were fighting to a stalemate, there was a loud "Puff!", the city gate opened, and the heavy armored infantry of the Sbia army swarmed in with shouts! (To be continued)
