PS: There is a 50% chance that there will be another update today. It depends on everyone’s sincerity. Whether you do it or not is a matter of a thought.
"Odo! Are you trying to provoke a civil war?!" Outside the blood pine forest, the two armies began to confront each other. The face of the great alchemist Galt was hidden behind a metal mask, and his expression could not be seen.
But there was no doubt a touch of anger in his voice: "Can you afford this responsibility?"
"I did not provoke a civil war." Odo, the supreme dean of Guangming Academy, also said seriously: "I told you, Galt, you are not allowed to pass here. If you want to force your way through, then I can only say sorry."
The two imperial armies faced off, with ammunition loaded and artillery loaded. At this time, the army led by Geert was already exhausted after the expedition, but a series of victories had boosted their morale. On the contrary, the army led by Odo, although waiting for work, was equipped with equipment.
The elites also have the magical blessings of the Church of Justice, but they seem to lack confidence. It is difficult for these troops to accept the idea of wielding weapons against their compatriots but they have to do it, which makes their morale a little weak.
In this way, both sides appear to be evenly matched.
"Whose order are you following?" Galt looked at the imperial army blocking the road. The great alchemist clenched the golden staff in his hand and spoke sharply: "I don't believe that His Majesty the Emperor would give such an order! We all
We are fellow human beings, even members of the Reikland army, and you are asking us to kill each other!"
"I said that I did not provoke a civil war." Odo repeated this sentence: "I am only responsible for stationing here and not allowing anyone, or anything other than humans, to pass! Galt, you and yours
People are not allowed to pass here. If you want to go back to Brunswick, you can. Please take a detour through Drakwald Forest or take a detour through Stirland and Iveyland!"
The great alchemist's metal glove gripped his golden staff tightly. Odo's plan was extremely vicious. If Gelt made a detour, he would definitely miss the competition of the royal chief wizard. If he didn't choose to make a detour, he would definitely miss the competition.
If there is a conflict with Odo, Odo can take the opportunity to accuse him of initiating the war, and the great alchemist will become the culprit of provoking a civil war.
So the question is, how did Odo know that he would take this path? How could he, a light wizard, gather so many troops?
At this time, the armies of both sides were at war with each other. Otto's army had occupied a strong terrain in advance. Galt immediately judged that if he attacked by force, it would be a hard battle even with the help of Qianmen's wind.
Thinking of this, Geert continued to ask loudly: "I'm asking you! Odo! Tell me, whose order did you follow, and who asked you to do this? What authority do you have to stop an imperial army?
Stop the Empire’s Great Alchemist?!”
"That's right! Who is it? Who deceived our Emperor?"
"We fought bloody battles on the front line. We paid so much to defend the empire, but in the end we couldn't even return home. What's the reason?!"
"What on earth are you people doing?!"
The troops under Gelt cursed loudly. The soldiers of the empire fought thousands of miles, shed their heads and shed their blood. They made countless military exploits and finally came back alive. They were actually blocked in the blood pine forest and refused to go home. Not only did they not
As a reward, you can't even go home. Is this how the empire treats the soldiers who fight for the country?
From loss, to sadness, to grief and anger, and finally, complete anger.
The imperial troops under Odo looked ashamed. They were a little shaken. The supreme dean of Guangming Academy could not sit still. He had to say loudly: "This is the decree of Archbishop Vicmar. In recent days, the brothers in the blood pine forest have
The Bryn tribe and the Beastmen tribe are active frequently, and the empire is at a critical moment at this time, so this road is temporarily closed to traffic!"
"The Archbishop has to deal with the greenskins and Chaos, not us!" an imperial captain shouted loudly, and his words prompted a response from the soldiers: "Why are you stopping us?"
"Why?!"
"Because you have come into contact with Chaos!" In this regard, Odo had already thought of his words. The Supreme Dean of Light said seriously: "I am not doubting your loyalty! But the whole world knows how terrible Chaos is. You are going to Keith this time.
The war between Loew and Chaos is great, but who can guarantee that none of you have been corrupted? So I can't let you pass, at least not now!"
It turns out that Guangming Academy has the support of Vicmar.
The great alchemist thought about it for a while and understood that no matter how rich Geert was in wisdom, he felt powerless against Odo who had the support of the entire Justice Church. He could only choose to fight.
Odo is a strong competitor and a very capable mage. Gelt knows that it is best for him and his army to attack first, and then lure Odo and his army to leave their defensive positions and switch to the attack.
Only by defending can he have hope of winning. At the same time, Galt knew that he had to be cautious, because Odo's preparations must be more than that. No one knows what conspiracies are hidden under his white robe.
"Soldiers, soldiers of the empire!" Galt finally decided to speak. He shouted loudly to his soldiers: "I believe you all know why Odo stopped us here!"
"Understood! Understood!" The troops under Gelt's command burst out with passionate fighting spirit. They raised their weapons and roared loudly: "We know!"
"If Odo thinks he can take something that belongs to me, he is sorely mistaken!"
"I, Belshazer-Gelt, am the perfect candidate to be the chief wizard of the empire! I am the one who should lift the Staff of Volan!"
"The wind of the Qianmen will blow and destroy all enemies who dare to stand in my way! Now is the era of our Golden Academy, and I will eliminate all obstructions. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will look at his own armor.
Turn into cast lead, your weapons into molten iron, your bones into gold!”
"Everyone, please fight! Please bring victory to me! The empire needs my power, and I am the strongest one, not some stupid flame wizard or a boring light wizard!"
"For the benefit of the empire, I must become the supreme magical leader of this land. This fool Odo cannot stop me!"
"For the Emperor, for Holy Terra!" Galt raised his staff high into the sky. His voice echoed in the blood pine forest. Then, a golden light curtain enveloped his army, and the soldiers' armor began to change.
It has to be extremely hard.
"Ahhhh!" The troops under Galt's command responded loudly, and then their respective armies began to form formations.
Galt first placed three battalions of musketeers in the first row, halberdiers in the second row, a battalion of crossbowmen in the third row, and thousands of spearmen, sword and shield soldiers on both wings.
, two teams of imperial knights and two teams of great swordsmen were hiding behind. At the same time, a large group of cannons and more advanced war machines were ready. In addition, Galt also had two teams of pioneer knights holding grenade launchers.
, this is one of the important reasons for his alliance with Nuer.
As the first shell of the Hellstorm rocket launcher shot into the sky, a human civil war broke out.
First, the artillery from both sides began to bombard each other. Otto tried his best to get two teams of artillery from the imperial army and the church. Twenty cannons were fired at the same time. The scene was so spectacular that Geert immediately ordered the troops to disperse.
, to avoid artillery fire.
But this is far from enough.
Galt's army is equipped with the empire's most advanced Hellstorm rocket launchers and Hellstorm rapid-fire cannons, and there are more than thirty of them. This does not include a large number of cannons. As the army opens fire, swarms of Hellstorm rockets
It rose into the sky, then fell directly towards Odo's army, exploding
Explosions were heard one after another. Compared with Otto's heavy cannons, Galt's firepower was much more powerful. The great alchemist's attainments in black powder and engineering were beyond Otto's understanding. On this expedition, he led
Climb aboard the latest war machines manufactured by the Noor Arms Factory and the Braunschweig Arms Factory.
First of all, Odo was weaker in the artillery bombardment. Compared to the power of the war machine, Gelt also possessed more powerful magic.
"How can a mere flame compare to molten metal?" As Geert chanted a curse loudly, hundreds of molten metal fell from the sky, blowing up Odo's artillery position and causing heavy casualties. The entire artillery position became silent for a time.
And when Odo tried to release the light of exile, he immediately discovered that the distance was too far and his magic could not be farther than the range of the artillery!
"Damn it, give me the order, the whole army advances!" Geert's plan worked. Under fire suppression, Odo had to bite the bullet and order the whole army to advance: "Attack!"
Otto's army began to take the initiative to attack: "Forward! For the Empire, for Charlemagne, and for Karl Franz!"
"In the name of the emperor, open fire!" Galt also issued the order. Four musketry battalions and one crossbowman battalion immediately opened fire under the cover of the halberdiers. Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the entire blood pine forest.
,hundreds of muskets from the black hole
White eyes spat out from the hole's muzzle, and the dense barrage overwhelmed the soldiers at the forefront of Otto's army. Hundreds of human soldiers fell down on the spot, and the remaining soldiers were
Holding the shield, he reluctantly moved forward.
"Fire! Fire!" The pioneer cavalrymen holding grenade launchers opened fire together, drowning the charging enemies in grenades. These musketeers immediately retreated after one attack.
"Start!" The Hellwind rapid-fire cannon was activated. This notorious weapon spit out strings of tongues of fire, and even the air seemed to begin to tremble. The screams were mixed with dull and monotonous swishing and rumbling sounds that could not be heard for a long time.
Projectiles penetrate flesh and blood, tongues of fire strike
With their bodies shattered and faced with such terrifying firepower, Odo's army fell one after another. Even if the remaining people could rush to the front of the Gaelt army, they could not break through their defense line. On the contrary, Odo's army fell in front of the Gaelt army.
Under the strong firepower, morale began to become unstable.
The two wizard leaders felt pain almost at the same time. Human civil war was not what they wanted to see. It was not common for human armies to conquer each other. Just imagine the tight formations of spears, the pacing knights, and the waving flags.
The beating of war drums is not against greenskins and beasts
People or evil enemies in the north, those who fell after the fight were all the empire's own people! This is really unbelievable. Galt's hand holding the swift silver rein of his Pegasus horse was trembling slightly, and Odo saw his army firing muskets.
Under the force, they fell down in pieces and looked ugly.
However, they have no reason to stop.
After suffering a lot of casualties, Odo's army finally started a hand-to-hand battle with Gelt's army. Because the distance was too close, the musketeers had to cease fire, otherwise they would hurt their own people. Just as the battle priest roared
Under this, the soldiers of the Supreme Dean of Light survived the ruthless and crazy shooting and finally fought with the enemy.
"Phi's light of protection!"
"Light of Conquest!"
Odo finally took action. The Supreme Dean of the Academy of Light used two full-range enhanced light spells to wrap up the imperial troops charging at the front, allowing them to avoid harm in hand-to-hand combat. Then, the wind of Hexi surged.
, the second spell calmed down the somewhat unstable morale of his army, and the energy of glory enveloped them. The soldiers with high morale rushed into the strongest halberdiers and spearmen arranged by Gelt, and beat them to death.
Step by step back.
"Shining robe!" Galt was not to be outdone. The great alchemist chanted a spell, and the golden wind of Qianmen surrounded him. The golden staff was raised high in the sky. In an instant, the Galt army was at the forefront.
More than two thousand halberdiers and spearmen could feel that golden scales appeared all over their bodies, and the unbearable golden light protected those brave soldiers, which made them retreat and not leave. Under the double protection,
Next, the infantrymen from both sides fought together.
The metal magic released by the Saint-level Gelt was not comparable to that of Odo, who was at the peak of the legend. After achieving some small results one after another, Odo began to feel uneasy. He looked at his soldiers slowly but indifferently.
There is no doubt that the soldiers of Gaelt were gradually driven out of their defense line. Gaelt's spell allowed his soldiers to obtain an almost unbreakable defense. Ordinary weapons could not penetrate the reinforced armor at all.
and epidermis.
Odo could only immediately order the cavalry under his command to start charging. He took it for granted that Geert hid the cavalry behind the military formation because Gelt lacked a sufficient number of cavalry and did not dare to confront him head-on.
The cavalry clashed, so after the infantry had entangled Guelt's infantry phalanx, Odo's cavalry also launched a charge.
At this time, the fatigue of Gelt's army after the expedition was clearly revealed. The exhausted infantry quickly retreated under the fierce attack. Odo gained precious time to reorganize the broken formation and poor morale.
.
It seemed that the balance of victory was tilted towards the Supreme Dean of Light again. Odo ordered his soldiers to advance, and the cavalry provided cover and support on both wings. At the same time, Odo immediately raised his hands towards the depths of the blood pine forest.
"Whoops!" A shining ball of light rose into the sky from the top of the staff and exploded high up!
Deep in the forest, a mercenary appeared, planning to directly attack Gelt's military formation from the side!
"Sure enough!" Galt was very calm about this. The great alchemist had already thought of it. Odo must have a back-up plan. Exactly the same, Galt's golden staff was also raised high in the sky, creating a more dazzling golden light.
Light up the sky.
"The Alchemy of Lead!"
Thousands of Odo army infantry and cavalry who were fighting hand-to-hand were horrified to find that all their weapons had turned into heavy lead blocks and soil, and their weapons had become cumbersome. The soldiers on the front line were defeated almost instantly.
Immediately afterwards, Geert signaled the artillerymen to release red signal flares.
As the signal bomb exploded in the sky, a brand new army appeared behind Otto on the right side.
"According to His Majesty's decree!" The strong man of the Holy Domain, Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffin, rode the Great Gryphon Beast Calamity and led the Griffin Knights to charge out from the blood pine forest!
They were galloping along the path in the forest. Four hundred and a half griffon knights were the backbone, and there were hundreds of knights on the wings. Several of them were riding griffons. The real griffin knights formed arrows and surged from the forest!
With a cry full of contempt, Ivan led the troops into the back of Odo's army and tore Odo's entire army into pieces!
"What?" Otto pulled the reins, he could hardly believe it.
When did Gelt get together with Ivan, the Griffin Duke?
There was no time for him to think too much.
"Odo, the supreme dean of Guangming Academy, immediately dismount and surrender!"
