The resistance of the imperial army is stronger than imagined, but also weaker than imagined.
After seeing the giant lizard beasts rushing from all directions, these imperial soldiers who had just been addicted to making a fortune woke up from their dreams. They suddenly realized that maybe life was more important than gold and silver.
From this point alone, the imperial army that has been systematically trained and has a clear superior-subordinate relationship is indeed stronger than the mercenaries from the southern countries who came here to explore before, but it is worse than what Fulgen experienced for several months. The Ashes Army after the special training is still far inferior.
It was too late to resist. Many imperial soldiers had just put down the gold and silver in their hands. Before they even found where the weapons they had thrown away were, the giant beasts carrying terrifying charging power rushed into the entire temple.
In the ruins, they roared and roared, showing their primitive beastliness in front of the imperial soldiers.
Several spearmen finally found their weapons in the chaos. They shouted slogans for the empire and for Karl Franz and tried to resist the charge of the behemoth, but these imperial soldiers were too small.
Their spears simply could not penetrate the hard body of the Ankylosaurus or the tough skin of the Tyrannosaurus.
War is never that simple. It’s not that the spearmen are good at fighting large units. They can easily deal with the giant lizard beasts. As several spearmen were crushed into pieces, more lizard warriors
And the skinks appeared.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get ready to fight!" The hunter general let out a shrill howl. He frantically motioned for the soldiers to gather together. How could such a bunch of scattered sand face these primitive monsters? Only humans who have gone through thousands of
Only the strict military formations that have been proven for hundreds of years can do it!
It suddenly dawned on me that the imperial troops, who were just waking up from their dreams, began to form a camp, and within a few minutes, they had already suffered more than 500 casualties. Many imperial soldiers had been torn apart by giant beasts. If it were not for the violence,
Dragons, ankylosaurs, and monitor lizards are tasting a rare meal of human flesh, and they don't even have a chance to form an alliance!
When the casualties exceeded 700, the imperial army finally received the belated instruction. They had to retreat to a corner temple inside the Tokan Temple to prepare for the final resistance.
Just above the streets of the temple, the Imperial chariot is galloping, the newly assembled wheels are clicking. In front, several pack horses and war horses are running wildly. The chariot assembled with simple wooden boards is crumbling, and the Imperial musketeers are on it.
"We are already moving forward at full speed!" the groom also shouted fiercely.
Just behind the carriage, following a dinosaur lizard!
The body of this dinosaur lizard is seven or eight meters high and more than ten meters long. This is a prehistoric beast that the imperial army has never seen before!
"Fire!" In the shrill voice, the Imperial musketeers raised their muskets towards the dinosaur lizard, but even the muskets that could penetrate the armor at close range only scratched a few holes on the dinosaur lizard's skin.
Kouzi!
"Hurry! Hurry!" The imperial chariot galloped past the chaotic battlefield, with the Terror Lizard chasing after it. The fangs on its open bloody mouth swayed back and forth, and the fishy smell had filled the air.
into the air.
"We are going to be overtaken!!!" the Musketeers shouted desperately.
"Ahhhh!" At the critical moment, the entire carriage suddenly made a sharp turn. The coachman from the empire was pushed to the limit and unleashed his final potential. He not only made the carriage turn sharply, but also made a sharp turn.
There was a perfect drift on the streets of the temple ruins!
The chariot turned into a small road. The Terror Lizard was unable to react in time and was unable to escape the influence of inertia. It hit the high wall of the ruins of the temple, directly collapsing the entire city wall. The ground shook and the mountains shook.
The lizard was a little dizzy, which allowed the Imperial chariot to finally distance itself from the giant beast.
"yeah!"
"Charlemagne has blessed us!"
"Long live the Empire!"
"Karl Franz is here!"
The Imperial musketeers on the chariot burst into cheers like victory, shouting the names of the Empire and Charlemagne, as if they had won the war.
"Boom~" At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the chariot, and the entire vehicle body sank. The war horses and pack horses neighed, and the suddenly extremely heavy vehicle body made their progress difficult.
A huge white lizard landed on the chariot. It didn't give the imperial soldiers any time to speak. The ancient holy artifact Urumak Sledgehammer in its hand was as light as a fire stick.
The sledgehammer fell, and the Musketeer's big head was smashed into pieces, and his brains were scattered everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, all the musketeers on the imperial chariot were killed with one blow. The body of the big white lizard was as fast as a phantom, and mortals could not even see its movements clearly. The coachman was torn into pieces amidst the screams.
Ke directly took out the coachman's heart with his hands and swallowed it into his belly: "For the big plan!"
"Kill all the hot-blooded ones!"
"Hooo~~~"
A brutal massacre began in the ruins of the entire temple. The lizardman army gathered from all directions and followed the giant beasts into the ruins. They slaughtered all the lone hot-blooded species. Human beings are facing this surprise attack.
There was no resistance underneath.
"Forward!" Thousands of lizard warriors hunted their prey wantonly. Just when they were about to submerge the ruins of the entire temple, they finally encountered tenacious resistance in a corner of the temple.
Under the command of Hunter General Eric, the last eight hundred or so troops of the empire gathered together. They found a semi-enclosed temple deep in the Tokan Temple. With the help of high walls and corridors, they formed an extremely solid formation.
The shield wall and gun formation, in the fierce battle, those who survived were the veterans of the province who had participated in many wars. Facing the fierce attack of the lizard people, they stood shoulder to shoulder and were firmly united together.
The narrow temple corridors could not allow the giant beasts to walk, and the dense shield walls and gun formations withstood the fierce attacks of the lizard warriors and skink lizards. The imperial crossbowmen, archers and imperial hunters relied on the temple corridors to move towards the lizard people.
The army rained down arrows, and relying on the tenacity of a united force, they repelled two waves of attacks by the Lizardmen army one after another!
"General! We can't escape, there are lizardmen everywhere outside!" The Empire Hunter shouted at General Eric: "What should we do?!"
"Hold it, hold it!" Eric's eyes were red, and he shouted heartbreakingly: "There will be reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?" The imperial hunter continued to fire his bow. There were so many lizardmen that he doubted that even if he shot all the arrows in the quiver, he would not be able to wipe out the enemies: "Damn it.
, we encountered an ambush! These creatures in the jungle are not as weak as the legends say, we were deceived!"
"I said yes! Hold on!" Hunter General Eric yelled. He took off his big bow, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot a lizard warrior through the left eye with one arrow.
The group of lizard warriors encountered strong resistance, and were temporarily pushed back amidst the locust-like rain of arrows.
It seems that this war has reached a stalemate for the time being. The temple that the Hunter General found occupies a good location. The giant beasts that the Lizardmen are proud of are temporarily unable to enter. The Lizardmen and Skink Warriors alone are not enough to defeat the Empire.
defense.
"Warrior Gorok, our troops are in trouble." The Skink Priest stuck out his tongue and hissed: "The hot-bloods are hiding in the temple of the patron god Kuiji and resisting."
"I will deal with them, all of them." Rock, the big white lizard, waved his big stick and couldn't wait to fight.
"No, warrior, we should send that one." The Skink Priest shook his head: "The burning crosshair will help us solve the problem."
Gorok nodded, and immediately, the Skink Priests began to chant spells.
An ancient triceratops walked out of the Lizardmen's military formation. This ancient triceratops was different from the ordinary ancient triceratops. It carried an entire altar made of gold on its back. Several skink lizards were standing behind the altar.
For those who pray, the main result of the altar is a golden base with a golden ring on top, and the ring is engraved with the god's mark of the sun god Potek.
"Who is calling the engines of the gods?"
When the hunter general Eric noticed the ancient triceratops, he already felt something was wrong. The dazzling light on the golden ring was obviously condensing energy. Just as Eric was still guessing that the lizard man would
When they launched the attack, the scorching rays falling from the sky shot directly into the empire's military formation!
"Help!"
"Devil! Demon!"
"Charlemagne is here!"
Falling from under the sky, a bright and scorching ray nearly ten meters wide landed in the temple, directly melting the imperial soldiers into a pool of scalding liquid that blended iron and blood, and this ray was still moving at a very fast speed.
Moving sideways, the imperial soldiers crowded together and fled in endless panic and screams. Seeing their compatriots being burned alive, the morale of the imperial army completely collapsed.
Eric was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he was speechless.
What is this?
Who can tell me what the hell is this place?
Who are our opponents?
He had no more time to think. After the brief devastating attack of the Burning Line, the imperial army had completely lost all combat effectiveness and the last bit of morale. While fleeing in all directions, a huge white lizard led
A group of temple guards settled the battle, and then gradually approached the Hunter General.
General Hunter swallowed a sip of saliva. He knew that it was over, everything was over, not only the vanguard of the expeditionary force was over, he himself was over, but the entire expeditionary force was very likely to be over, because no one would be able to pass the information to
Ports and outposts.
He could imagine that after the disappearance of this group of vanguard troops, the Imperial Expeditionary Force would be surprised, and they would definitely send more troops to explore the Tokan Temple.
When they see the wealth in the temple, they will definitely give up their vigilance temporarily and start looting, and then the reincarnation will begin again.
Damn it! Everything is a lizard trap.
The last few imperial veterans were gradually overwhelmed by the lizardman army. The lizardman warriors enjoyed a gluttonous feast, blood sacrificed Sotek by the way, and kept some prisoners to throw into the Tyrannosaurus pit.
Eric decided to retain the last bit of dignity, and General Hunter stood up.
The big white lizard, Rock, stood in front of him. Out of a warrior's instinct, he stretched out his hand to signal the surrounding temple guards to retreat.
The Hunter General smiled coldly. He raised his big bow, just like he had done for more than ten years, and pointed it at the big white lizard in front of him, for the last time for the empire, for the Hunter Marshal Marcus, and for the Emperor Karl-Franz.
Fully draw the bowstring.
"For the Empire!"
"For the big plan!"
Two minutes later, tranquility descended on the ruins of the Tokan Temple. Rock, the big white lizard, hung Eric's head on his waist as his trophy. He stood proudly in the middle of the ruins of the temple and roared loudly.
, releasing the excitement belonging to the victor and the judgment from the ancient saints.
Any hot-blooded people who try to hinder the grand plan will be eliminated!
"Now, let us continue and wipe out these hot-blooded species!" Big White Lizard Brother Rock continued to order, and the lizardman army will not stop and prepare to attack the coast.
"Lord Crocker said that we should inform the Son of the Ancient Saint about this news." The Skink Priest continued: "See if he needs to contain the remaining troops."
"Then, let's do it!"
…………I am the dividing line for the big plan…………
Just when the Imperial Vanguard was annihilated in Torkan Temple, the New World, the Isthmus of Lustria, and the Marauder Port.
After a long journey, the Expeditionary Knight finally arrived at the gate of the Predator Port. To his surprise, he found that the port city here had been built to a very large scale. The five-meter-high city wall might not be enough to fight against those extremely brutal enemies.
, but at least in many cases it is enough to protect residents from powerful enemies.
There are many farmlands outside the city, as well as some sea salt fields where salt is dried. There are many fishing boats and passenger ships passing by on the sea. Most of the human residents living here wear linen clothes, long sleeves and long trousers, and everything is in order.
, the power of order is perfectly reflected here, and the city head is fluttering.
An eagle reborn in the fire is the symbol of the Ashes Legion. In addition, there is a golden double-headed eagle flag on the city wall. The golden double-headed eagle pattern here is the same as the Empire seen by the expedition knight.
The double-headed eagle pattern was somewhat different, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific differences.
The soldiers of the Ash Legion were patrolling inside and outside the town. Judging from their posture and military appearance, the expedition knight knew that this was a truly powerful army. He stood at the door and watched for more than ten minutes, responsible for guarding the city gate.
Many guards on duty not only didn't say a word, they didn't even move.
Soldiers of this level are rare even in the old world. Only the personal guards of the great nobles and the elites at the bottom of some territories, such as the two-handed swordsmen of the Empire's Kronburg, can have this level of discipline.
When the expeditionary knight stayed for a while and discovered that most of the soldiers were like this, his serious poker face showed no expression, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.
"Outsiders?" Not long after, perhaps the expedition knight's long observation attracted the attention of the guards. Immediately, an Ash Legion officer who looked like a guard captain came to the expedition knight with several guards: "
Bretons? Are you here for your goddess? What's the matter? Since you are here, you must abide by the rules here."
"I came here to find someone." The expedition knight's expression remained unchanged. His handsome and tough face had a stern expression, making him look like he was looking for trouble.
"Who are you looking for? I'm warning you, Brittanians, this is not your kingdom of knights." His attitude, which stinked like a stone, naturally aroused the officer's displeasure.
"I'm looking for Fulgen, your legion commander."
"You want to see the legion commander? Who do you think you are? Can you meet our legion commander just by meeting him?"
"I am..." The expedition knight spat out a string of words from his mouth.
The face of the officer of the Ash Legion changed greatly. He looked at the expedition knight with some hesitation. The virtues of Britannian knights are famous all over the world, and the expedition knights will not lie casually.
"Please wait a moment, I will report!"
"Yeah." The expedition knight remained expressionless.
A few minutes later, the town gates opened wide, and Fulgrim, the leader of the Ash Army, personally led his bodyguard "Phoenix Guards" to come out to greet him. The Primarch of the Son of the Emperor's silver, silky, unsplit long hair was flying in the sea breeze.
The shoulder armor of his golden plate armor is a beautifully carved eagle wing, ready to fly.
"Welcome, very, very welcome, Your Excellency, I didn't expect to see you in this place." Fulgen opened his arms and expressed his enthusiasm: "Then, what should I call you? Relative?"
