More and more lizardmen rushed to the battlefield, but Old Joel still did not send reinforcements. He just allowed the Storm Army to continue fighting with the lizardmen behind the first line of defense.
At this time, the Storm Army only had 287 people. Facing nearly 1,500 lizardmen, they were immediately suppressed within a certain area. They could only barely ensure that the defense line in front of them was not defeated. At this time, each of the sword and shield soldiers killed no less than ten people.
The head lizard man, the leather armor all over his body was soaked with blood. Although Shiloh was far away, looking at the long series of system battle records, he could still guess how anxious the current battle situation had reached.
No, the Storm Army won't be able to hold on like this!
Shiloh saw the continuous reinforcements of the lizardmen from a distance, and was not sure what Old Joel was planning, but seeing the critical situation, he no longer hesitated and immediately asked the sword and shield soldiers to use the formation skill through the system.
Once the skill was used, the already tired sword and shield soldiers seemed to have been injected with blood, and their momentum immediately changed drastically. They cooperated with each other, showing a wave-like formation, and the swords and shields flashed, and they immediately
Split a large piece of lizard man in front of him into a sky full of flesh and blood!
The sudden burst of sword and shield soldiers stalled the lizardmen's attack. However, the absolute advantage in numbers still gave these lizardmen great courage. After seeing their companions fall, they pounced even more crazily.
.
At this moment, the sword and shield soldiers turned slightly sideways, and a row of sharp arrows shot through the air, directly hitting the lizard man in the front row.
The arrows made of steel were extremely sharp, and these arrows seemed to be shot from the bow of the gods. They were packed with powerful power and shot directly through the bodies of the lizard men in the first row, leaving only a fist-sized blood.
Hole.
The lizardmen in the first row were in disbelief. Their simple minds could not understand why a mere arrow could have such powerful power. They fell down with surprise in their eyes. Behind them, the lizardmen in the second row could not believe it.
He also fell to the ground in pain. The row of arrows not only penetrated the bodies of the companions in front, but also penetrated deeply into their bodies, and even directly took away their lives.
Armor-piercing arrow, kill two birds with one stone!
The archer hiding behind had a face as pale as water, and there was no sign of any fluctuation. After shooting the first armor-piercing arrow, he immediately dispersed the target and provided support and cover for the new recruits of the Storm Army who were fighting hard around him.
At the same time, a group of tall and strong warriors also strode to the front of the battlefield. They were each wearing solid armor and were armed like iron cans, like a solid line rising from the ground.
The city wall protects the sword and shield soldiers who are about to end their formation skills.
It's the armored guard!
"Array up!"
The leading armored guard shouted loudly and slammed the tower shield in his hand against the ground. The two sides of the tower shield bounced open and connected with each other, blocking a large group of lizardmen.
The lizard people rushed forward crazily, trying to overwhelm the defense line of the armored guards, but their strength could not be compared with that of the armored guards. The armored guards seemed to have roots under their feet, nailed to the spot.
Separate large numbers of lizardmen.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sword and shield soldiers retreated, leaving the most stressful battlefield to the armored guards while they moved to support the surrounding areas.
The real elites of the Storm Army are these system soldiers. Although the new recruits are supported by archers, they have already suffered a lot of damage under the siege of the endless lizardman army. At this time, the sword and shield soldiers came to support, and they can just share some of the damage.
The pressure will prevent the front from collapsing immediately.
When the sword and shield soldiers withdrew, the pikemen immediately took up their positions. The pikemen were a less used unit in Hilo, but they were definitely not a weak unit, not to mention that the lizardman army was now besieging them and they had phalanx skills.
The pikemen are even more at home.
Phalanx: Increases the attack and defense of pikemen by 50%, and reduces the speed to 0 for 60 seconds.
After using the phalanx skill, the phalanx lined with spears immediately turned into a turtle shell covered with spikes. The armored guard in front had long been hit by the lizard man's wave after wave of impact, causing his face to turn red.
, after the spearmen intervened, they immediately knocked away the lizard men who were pulling their shields and retreated quickly.
The lizard men were hissing and roaring, desperately trying to break through the steel defense line in front of them. Just when their bestiality was unleashed, the armored guards all retreated, which immediately excited them. Without thinking, they rushed forward.
past.
As long as they can rush into the Storm Army's front, relying on their numbers, they can kill all these humans and disembowel them!
However, the lizard man had not been happy for a few seconds when he saw a phalanx appear in front of him. The pikemen pressed the butts of their spears to the ground, with the tips of their spears slightly tilted, pointing directly at the lizard man who was rushing towards them.
Puff puff puff!
Only a series of muffled sounds were heard. The lizard man rushing at the front had no time to stop his steps, and he crashed into the array of guns shining with cold light. His body was immediately penetrated and torn to pieces, and thick blood slowly flowed down the gun barrel.
, dripping onto the ground, dyeing the soil blood red.
The pikemen did not retreat even a step, standing there roaring. By the time the lizardmen behind realized something was wrong, nearly a hundred of their kind had died under the spear formation.
Broken corpses lay scattered on the ground, with blood flowing in rivers. Such a bloody scene made these lizardmen feel chills in their hearts. They wanted to bypass the gun array in front of them, but were squeezed by the armored guards standing by.
They were in formation and couldn't disperse at all.
"Armor-breaking taunt, let go!"
Seeing that the lizard man was a little timid, the armored guards immediately used their taunting skills. They hooked their fingers at the somewhat dull lizard man in front of them and shouted: "You...come here!" Immediately, more than twenty lizard men appeared.
As if he had witnessed his spouse mating with other members of the opposite sex, his eyes almost burst out with fire, and he rushed towards the armored guard with a kind of lifeless anger.
The armored guards immediately raised their shields to defend themselves. The lizardmen who were ridiculed seemed to be crazy, clinging to the thick tower shield, pulling at it with their claws, and biting with their teeth. However, they were unable to move the armored guards even a step.
"kill!"
The spearmen's phalanx skill ended and they regained their mobility. They immediately divided into two teams and rushed to the left and right, pointing their cold-light spear points directly at the taunted lizardmen.
The furious lizardmen were still attacking the armored guards crazily. Even though their backward stone weapons could not cause even a little damage to the armored guards wearing solid armor, they were still biting their opponents like crazy, and just now.
At this time, the spearmen's attack came from behind. Just one shot penetrated through their backs and throats, directly nailing them to the ground.
Both sides were almost furious. The Storm Army, with system soldiers as the main force, had slaughtered no less than 200 lizardmen. The new recruits also suffered heavy losses, with more than thirty people reduced.
It was only then that the power of the system became apparent. The combat effectiveness of a system soldier was definitely several times that of these new recruits!
Bell looked at the elites of the same army fighting the enemy bravely, and felt unwilling to do so. He had also gone through half a year of arduous training, but compared with these system soldiers, he was just like an ordinary person who didn't know how to fight. In addition to the system soldiers,
On the defensive front, colleagues in other positions have already
Being torn apart by the ferocious lizard men, not only did he retreat, but he could no longer maintain the battle line... Bell roared, threw away the shield in his hand, and snatched another knife from the corpse on the ground. The two swords flickered, like
He was like a berserker, chopping down the enemies in front of him with all his might.
Beast, die!
One knife after another, Bell was already in a state of madness. The two swords almost danced into the shadow of a knife. He didn't care about defense at all and used all the skills he had learned in training.
The stone weapon and the sword collided in the air, and were chopped into pieces with a snap. The sword in Bell's hand directly chopped off half of the lizard man's head in the incredulous eyes, and blood splattered all over Bell's head and face.
Yes, but he frantically licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, drew out his sword and slashed at the next lizard man.
One head, two heads, three heads... After the madness in Bell's heart slowly subsided, seven or eight lizardmen fell around him, and the recruits in the same team with him tried their best to
He looked at him with a fearful look, not daring to get close.
Bell felt that his arms were extremely sore, and the continuous swing of the knife with all his strength put a lot of load on his muscles. However, even if he showed off his power, he could not stop the lizard man's attack, because there were no more people within his sight.
I knew dozens of lizardmen rushed over.
It’s impossible to kill all these beasts!
Bell gritted his teeth and was about to fight with all his strength when he finally heard the bugle sound coming from the rear line.
"Woo——"
The loud bugle sounded throughout the battlefield. After hearing the bugle, the soldiers of the Storm Army breathed a sigh of relief. Now they could finally retreat.
"Fight and retreat!"
"Don't show your backs to the lizardmen!"
After hearing the bugle, the squad leaders of the Storm Army immediately shouted orders, and the soldiers immediately covered each other and retreated - these were all things they had trained in the military camp, and they had almost developed muscle memory by this time.
, so during the retreat, no major flaws were revealed, and the battle line was re-maintained.
Old Joel saw the Storm Army retreating in a rigorous and orderly manner, and nodded almost imperceptibly. He thought to himself that the Storm Army was still able to follow orders and prohibitions when retreating. It was obvious that they were not some unknown brand.
military.
Now there are at least two thousand lizardmen pouring into the first line of defense. The time has come and there is no need to delay it any longer. Old Joel immediately ordered: "Notify the desert mercenaries and prepare to snipe the lizardmen with crossbows!
"
The military order was quickly conveyed, and the desert mercenaries immediately took action. They quickly stood behind the horse, raised their crossbows and aimed forward, waiting for the lizard man to enter the shooting range and deliver this gift called death.
When the Lizardmen saw the Storm Army retreating, they became even more excited. They followed closely behind the Storm Army and wanted to break into Stormwind City directly. Bell hacked to death the Lizardman closest to him several times and pulled him up.
A teammate whose thigh was slashed shouted: "Don't give up, I'll take you back!"
The wounded Stormtrooper soldier was probably in his early twenties, with a bloody wound on his thigh and a ferocious grin. As soon as Bell pulled him, he could feel the soldier trembling all over. He was obviously a new recruit.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Shut up! You can't die as long as I'm here!" Bell dragged the opponent back while struggling to fight with the charging lizard man. He lost his hand immediately and was stabbed in the arm by a lizard man with a stone spear.
, immediately pierced the leather armor and tore a huge wound on his arm.
Bell was furious as his arm hurt. He thrust his foot into the lizard man's chest and kicked it away. Then he threw out the sword in his hand, plunged deeply into the lizard man's chest, and nailed it to the ground.
But now he lost his weapon and was dragging an oil bottle. His speed couldn't go any slower, and he was about to be surrounded by lizard men.
Damn it, I didn’t expect that I would die here!
Seeing the lizard men around him grinning ferociously, Bell felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart. He still had many wishes that he had not yet fulfilled, and he was not willing to die here like this.
You finally got rid of your status as a slave, you haven't found your relatives yet, you haven't sought revenge from that noble, how could you die here like this!
Die on this lonely island in the ocean far from home!
However, no matter how indignant Bell felt, at the moment when the lizard man's weapons struck from all directions, he could only grit his teeth, close his eyes, and wait for himself to return to the embrace of Hades.
call out--
Puff puff puff!
A strong wind passed by Bell's cheek and pierced Bell's skin. He only felt a slight itch on his face, and then he heard continuous noises around him. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the lizard people around him were actually
They all had their bodies torn apart and fell to the ground, wailing in pain, and not far from his body, several huge shields with sharp edges were stuck on the ground, and countless blood flowed down from the shields.
"Soldier, return to the team!"
A steady voice sounded behind Bell. When he looked back, he realized that it was the Storm Trooper who was wrapped in iron armor and came behind him.
"Return to the team, the Storm Army will never abandon any of its comrades!"
The armored guard was standing in front of Bell. Bell took a closer look and found that during the retreat, the Storm Army had stepped forward with more than a dozen armored guards at some point. They grabbed the edge of the tower shield with both hands, and then
As soon as he stepped on the ground, powerful force poured into his waist from his legs and converged on his arms. The bulging muscles almost burst the arm armor. With a loud roar, these armored guards suddenly lifted the shields in their hands.
Throw it out.
Shield throw!
He clicked on the armored guard throwing the shield. In addition to the amazing defensive power, the huge tower shield had an edge as sharp as a blade. With the terrifying power of the armored guard, the shield rotated rapidly, sending out a stream of energy.
The sharp sound of piercing the air tore apart everything in front of him, including the lizard man's corpse.
These lizardmen were in the feverish stage of chasing the Stormtroopers. They were crowded together and had no way to escape. The shields being thrown roared, easily tearing apart their scales, flesh, and bones... and they spewed out.
The blood painted death directly on the battlefield. In an instant, dozens of shields disembowelled dozens of lizardmen, breaking their bones and tendons.
This sudden attack completely frightened the lizardmen, and even their pursuit was stopped. They had never seen such a terrifying way of killing enemies. The power of these shields was simply unstoppable, even with the weapons in their hands.
The defense will be destroyed in an instant.
These human beings actually possess such terrifying power!
Just a dozen shield warriors caused such exaggerated casualties. If the remaining shield warriors take action, who can stop them?
Besides the powerful lizard warriors, who else can stop?!
Naturally, the lizardmen didn't know that there were only a dozen armored guards who had mastered shield throwing, and that after they threw the shield, they completely lost their lethality, and their defense was not as exaggerated as before, unless they picked up the shield again.
But now naturally there will be no armored guards foolish enough to retrieve the shield. Their purpose is just to kill the Lizardman's vigor, block the enemy's rear, and facilitate the Storm Army's withdrawal from the battlefield. And now, this goal is already behind this powerful shield.
The throw was reached.
Taking advantage of the lizardmen being frightened, the Stormtroopers quickly withdrew into the second line of defense.
"roar!"
Just when the lizard man hesitated and did not dare to move forward, a terrifying beast roar suddenly came from the darkness. Hearing this beast roar, the lizard man finally regained his energy, croaked and headed towards the second line of defense again.
They rushed over, but now the Storm Army had retreated behind Juma, and the backup plan arranged by Old Joel was fully revealed at this moment.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following Old Joel's order, the desert mercenaries pressed the triggers of their crossbows at the same time. The crossbows were more lethal than bows and arrows at close range. More than 300 desert mercenaries fired at the same time, immediately killing a large group of lizards.
The man fell to the ground, and a vacuum suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Although the lizard men were suddenly attacked by crossbows, they still charged over. The desert mercenaries immediately reloaded their arrows, and another hail of arrows shot out, knocking down countless charging lizard men to the ground.
And no one noticed that at the moment when the crossbows were flying, several rockets were also shot out from the Guards camp. These rockets were ejected, disappeared into the darkness, rose to the top and then fell quickly, with extremely precise accuracy.
fell into the trench dug by the first battle line.
Falling into the trench filled with coal, hay, and fuel oil!
boom!
I only saw a line of fire spreading rapidly along the trench. Almost in the blink of an eye, it turned into a raging wall of burning fire. The flames exploded several meters high and instantly illuminated the entire battlefield.
Hot air waves spurted out, and a large number of lizardmen who were crossing the ditch were engulfed in the fire before they had time to react. Just in front of the desert mercenaries, dozens of firemen rushed out of the flames screaming and collided.
He fell to the same kind next to him and rolled desperately on the ground.
The fire drew a semicircle on the battlefield, directly surrounding the entire Stormwind City. This sudden wall of fire not only killed nearly a hundred lizardmen in an instant, but also blocked their progress.
The lizardmen, who are naturally afraid of fire, were completely frightened. They screamed and refused to move forward. The boundary of this raging and burning flame was the fear engraved deep in their souls, making them panic and afraid to move forward.
Take a step.
It was precisely because of the lizard people's fear of fire that they were able to persist for a month.
At this time, this wall of fire not only blocked the lizardmen's idea of continuing to send reinforcements, but also made those lizardmen on the first station line and the second front line completely panic. They screamed and looked at the retreat behind them.
Blocked by the flames, I didn't know what to do for a moment.
Old Joel nodded at this moment. Previously, he let the Stormtroopers stay alone in the frontline camp just to allow as many lizardmen as possible to come between the first and second lines of defense. Now that the flames are burning, they
Like a turtle in a urn, it is up to Stormwind City to decide whether to kill or behead him.
Now that more than 2,000 prey have fallen into the trap, it's time to close the net.
"Kill! Leave no one behind!"
With the cold voice, the Storm Army finally launched a counterattack at this moment, and the horse was pulled away. The desert mercenaries pulled out the scimitars from their waists with a grin, licking the blade of the blade, and the panicked lizard man rushed over.
The 50-life royal knight had also mounted his dragon horse and was galloping towards the lizard man to kill him.
"kill--"
"Kill these aliens——"
"Kick these filthy lizardmen in the balls—"
The 50 royal knights are the warriors who have been with Shiloh for the longest time, and they are also one of the elite combat forces on Hope Island. Now that they have dragon horses riding on them, their destructive power can be said to be even higher. I can only see their exquisite control.
Armed with a dragon and a horse, they charged into the lizard-men's formation waving their sharp swords.
The dragon horse, which is nearly two meters tall, is a kind of magical beast that lives in the wasteland. It is extremely powerful. Back then, 20 dragon horses were able to suppress the legendary first-level earth dragon with their brute force. Now they were facing a monster that couldn't even reach the heel of the legendary dragon.
The lizardmen on top were even more ferocious. Some lizardmen had no time to dodge and were trampled to the ground by the huge hoofs of the dragon and horse. Their chests were trampled so hard that they collapsed and collapsed, and they died on the spot.
The royal knights have long wanted such good horses to serve as mounts. Once they mounted the horses again, they burst out with incomparable power, slashing the lizard men around them wantonly. Every sword light passed by, they could be seen.
A lizard man's head soars into the sky. He is worthy of being a royal elite trained by Connor himself. His strength is not much worse than that of some local army elites.
The 50 royal knights formed five teams in a tacit understanding and spread out in all directions, disrupting the lizardmen's formation and making them unable to resist. Wherever the knights went, no one could stop them and looked down upon them.
Behind them, the bloodthirsty and ferocious desert mercenaries could no longer hold back. These cunning mercenaries only entered the battlefield when the knights caused the greatest chaos. When they approached the lizard people, they did not forget to use their hands again.
The crossbow fired an extremely insidious crossbow arrow, hitting the enemy in front of him, and then he swung his scimitar and chopped them wildly.
307 desert mercenaries, with the cooperation of 50 knights, actually killed the lizardmen who were several times their size and they were unable to form a formation to stop them.
Shiloh looked at the fighting on the battlefield from a distance, his mouth opened in surprise, and he murmured: "Is this...Old Joel's [Killing Art of War]? It's really terrifying."
Connor didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, thinking secretly: Your Highness, the real [Killing Art of War] is not comparable to this little cleverness.
As a talented general who was feared by countless nobles at the beginning, Old Joel has not taken it seriously until now.
