As the Conqueror King raised his arms, the black soldiers of the heroic spirits rushed over quickly, crushing the loess, wearing blue sky, and holding various weapons in their hands.
"Undead Army! Shield up!"
El-Melloi II shouted loudly.
He does not have the right to command the undead army, but he can make Darius obey by telling Fujimaru Ritsuka, and then Fujimaru Ritsuka relays the information.
In unison, there was a thundering sound, and the skeletal soldiers in the front row held up their golden shields as high as two people, and thrust the sharp lower end into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound like hail hitting the window, a thin crackling sound falling on the shield.
Iskandar said oh.
This phalanx is certainly not unfamiliar to him.
because……
This phalanx was the first thing he pushed towards glory!
Macedonian Phalanx!
One day, someone would actually use it on me!
It's really interesting.
But the problem is...
"I created the phalanx myself. Of course I know its weaknesses best."
The biggest problem with the Macedonian Phalanx is that it can only be used against [human beings]. After all, it was originally used by conquering kings in the human period to fight against enemies who were also human beings.
When you reach the level of a Servant, you can easily smash shields and jump over human walls. This kind of square formation doesn't make much sense.
Therefore, Iskandar did not form a formation this time because, judging from the level of a servant, any formation would hinder the battle.
Sure enough, as he expected, although the first wave of offensive was blocked, the second wave of offensive, and the King's Army, who fought closely with the Skeleton Legion, pulled out their daggers and stabbed the shield fiercely, directly piercing the shield.
With one powerful strike, the shield was torn apart.
"Sure enough, we can't stop the king's army. However, that's just right. First row! Abandon shields! Grasp! Second row of spear team assault! Magician group, fire cover!"
El-Melloi II pushed up his glasses and gave the order calmly.
He knows better than anyone else the terrifying power of the king's army under Iskandar.
If he dares to charge head-on like this, he naturally has his own ideas.
Following his order, the first row of skeletal soldiers threw away their shields and gave up competing with the king's army for strength. However, before the king's army could counterattack, these skeletal soldiers quickly opened their bare skeleton arms, connected to their shields,
He hugged the soldier in front of him tightly.
The soldier who thrust his weapon into the shield and was tearing the shield apart was suddenly hugged by the opponent, including the shield and himself. His arms could not use any strength at all and he could not escape. At the same time, the spear of the skeleton soldier in the back row had already been
arrive.
The Skeleton Army emphasizes immortality, and the equipment is only of a sophisticated level. If you want to destroy it, it is very easy. Thanks to this, the spears in the back row easily penetrated between the ribs of the skeleton soldiers in the front row, pierced the shield, and directly killed
The servant soldiers of the king's army were defeated.
This is the basis of a war of attrition, exchanging small losses on our side for large losses on the enemy.
In terms of the number of soldiers, Darius III had the advantage. And it was a huge advantage. The difference in numbers between the two sides could even reach two to one or even three to one. This one-for-one tactic was most beneficial to Darius.
What's more, following El-Melloi II's order, the skeleton soldiers in the back row who used magic raised their hands high, and bright green flames rose from their hands.
Although it is a magic unit, due to the state of Darius III, it can only use the most basic attacks. Its usage is equivalent to long-range units such as archers.
But it was enough, a burst of emerald green flames seemed to rain from the sky.
"I was put in a position...the opponent's military advisor is very good."
Iskandar did not give any instructions, but just watched with one hand on his chin.
"You, you, you, what are you looking at, Rider! Your sergeant, but..."
Weber Velvet was so angry when he saw him looking so calm and composed that he couldn't help but pull his cloak to protest to him.
"Hmph, boy, just watch carefully. Yu's army is as powerful as a king and there is no need for Yu's command at all."
Iskandar did not take his eyes off Darius at all.
This kind of legion battle is a test before the general takes action.
The real victory or defeat is between himself and Darius, and he knows this very well.
to this end……
"Boy, if you have time to talk to Yu about this, why not help Yu study. Now I suddenly want to read it. The Iliad. I'll leave it to you."
The Conqueror King said, his eyes never leaving the battlefield. Weber mumbled in a low voice: "You obviously just wanted me to take a good look at the battlefield."
"Okay, help me read it quickly. It starts on page 37, and I suddenly really want to hear this paragraph."
"Ahhhhh! I know! I know! I just read it!"
Weber took out the hardcover copy of the Iliad from the backpack on his back, turned to the page he mentioned, and started reciting it for him.
On the battlefield, as expected, the servant soldiers of the king's army quickly understood the current situation.
This is the difference between the king's army and the immortal cavalry. The former can think about battlefield tactics by themselves, while the latter must rely on Darius to give orders, otherwise it can only perform simple actions such as killing charges.
If it weren't for El-Melloi II, this battle would definitely turn into a big brawl.
Therefore, to capture the thief, capture the king first.
The three Servant soldiers, who were confident in their own abilities, took out the weapons they were good at and rushed towards the front line. The soldiers on the front line were divided into six people, formed in pairs, lunged, folded their hands on their thighs, and the three soldiers
Quickly stepping on their hands, while taking off, the two servant warriors serving as the base also threw them up high. The strength of both sides was used together, allowing them to jump over a considerable distance and pass through the layers of legions of skeletons.
He rushed towards El-Melloi II.
"Hey, you guys still dare to come here when I'm here. What a shameless courage!"
Black Joan, who had been quietly watching with a flag raised, raised her eyebrows. Seeing someone coming to provoke, she would not sit idly by and ignore it. She snapped her fingers, and four or five burning purple sticks quickly condensed from above her.
The black thorns of the flames, following her command, hit the three Servant soldiers who jumped in the sky one after another.
The three of them each pulled out their weapons to block. When they landed, Black Joan clenched her fist, and magic power rose from the ground. A servant soldier who couldn't dodge was swallowed up by the flames and disappeared completely.
The other two people continued to charge. However, the spearmen within Darius's undead army were not left to be slaughtered by others.
If the soldiers in the front row can still be seen as human skeletons, then those in the back are completely different.
A bull-headed composite soldier with an ox skull on his head and two pairs of arms holding a shield, dagger, and spear, and a skeleton double swordsman with both arms and feet polished into sharp blades. When the enemy crossed the first row of soldiers
When deep into the hinterland, these elite soldiers will wield their weapons and be responsible for defeating the enemy from within.
The two Servant soldiers were quickly entangled and could not move forward at all. Although they were lacking in ability, they were better in numbers. The back of the double swordsman was held up by the Minotaur with a shield. The two Double Swordsmen cooperated with one Minotaur.
Form a simple team, and then use countless simple teams to form an encirclement and annihilation formation.
It's just... like countless fine teeth, grinding the enemies who enter the formation!
However... is this unintentional beheading tactic really just for the purpose of beheading?
Iskandar narrowed his eyes and paid attention to the opposite side. His eyes passed through the yellow sand and clearly reflected the figure of El-Melloi II. Looking at his sight clearly, he was rushed into the enemy's formation and beheaded.
The tactical trio attracts the moment.
Just for a moment when his eyes wandered, Iskandar tightened the reins.
"Boy! Got it!"
Before poor Weber had time to get over the torture of being forced to recite the Iliad, his body was suddenly pulled by inertia, and he rolled over behind the bullock cart with a squeak. He only had time to let out a burst of oops and ahhhhhhhhhh.
