Chapter 79 Battle

The warm wind in late summer blew across the field. On the flat field, thick weeds are covered with thick grass, and a few unknown wild flowers are swaying in the middle. If you observe carefully, you can see many messy holes in this flat land, which is the masterpiece of grassland rats. This small creature is a valuable resource on the grassland - although they are small, they can eat meat and their fur are soft and warm. Most importantly, they are food for many other animals - wolves, foxes, and some other carnivorous and omnivorous animals. They form the most basic link in this food chain.

Especially in winter, the only animal that many tribes can hunt during the long winter is this grassland rat. A piece of land that houses a large number of grassland rats is considered a land of considerable value because it can provide a continuous stream of resources for the tribe and keep the tribe prosperous and prosperous.

But at this moment, these little animals that were originally the most active in this season were gone. In the bright sunshine, the green grass was lush, and the holes of all sizes were covered by messy weeds.

An ominous wind blew across this flat land, and the weeds bent down to avoid being blown by the wind. Although the sun was in the sky, a solemn aura spread across the land. Perhaps it was because of feeling this breath that the grassland rats retreated into the deepest part of their caves.

Ashu Rufate watched the coalition arrive at the battlefield.

Just as they said in their letters, they really planned to decide here with the speechless panic tribe. The surging crowds show that the letter to the battle is not a trap, but a truth: because it can be judged from the number of enemies, the number of enemies is about two or three to ten thousand. Once this army is defeated, all the enemy's strategies - no matter what it is - will be wiped out. Conversely, once the enemy wins, there is no need for any strategy, and the salt pond is equivalent to falling into the hands of the coalition forces.

Ashu Rufate stood on a slightly higher hillside, watching the troops of both sides observing each other while forming formations. Although this is a plain, the terrain is somewhat ups and downs. Ashu Rufate has arrived at the battlefield one step ahead of time, so he occupied a slightly higher hillside. However, this is still a plain, the so-called "hill slope" has a very gentle slope and is not a favorable terrain worth relying on in battle. If you really have any advantages in battle, it is because you stand taller, so the commander's vision will be slightly better than the opponent.

This is also why the coalition forces chose to fight here. Here, the horse is flat and the terrain is wide, and many cunning strategies cannot be implemented here. The two armies can only fight head-on and rely on the most basic formation combat skills to fight. With this terrain, the coalition forces can fully utilize their advantages in military strength and defeat the opponent with a dignified formation.

Unlike the war between ordinary tribes, neither side built a front-line camp. Ashrufate refused to build it, and the coalition forces did not have time to build it. Usually, the defeated side could retreat into the camp and try to rely on fortifications to repel the enemy's attack. But this time, the defeated side did not have this opportunity.

Speaking of which, Ashu Rufate looked at the Chaos Legion several times. However, at that time, he was Groney's general and led his army to fight against the invading Chaos Legion. He remembered that the Chaos Legion was a well-organized army with high morale and well-equipped (chaotic armor deserves this title). The quality of this Chaos Tribe coalition was much worse than the Chaos Legion that last time he fought against, both in terms of equipment and soldiers. Of course, on the other hand, Ashu Rufate was not Groney's well-trained regular army, but the same Chaos army, and it had a great disadvantage in terms of numbers.

Of course, his biggest weakness is not the number of people, but the internal. When he was Groney's general, he led an army that could completely obey his command. This is easy to understand. This is how regular army is: under normal circumstances, after a general is appointed by the king, he has full command of the army. This is something that the entire army agrees with from grassroots soldiers to high-level generals. As long as the general does not do anything such as rebellion, or if anyone creates a "monarch's secret edict" or something, he does not have to worry about the obedience of his subordinates. His orders can always be conveyed and executed. And this control can be surpassed - the general can directly pass his orders over high-level generals, middle-level officers, and communicate to grassroots soldiers and low-level officers without worrying about being refused execution.

But he is different now. He organized this army too short, and the composition of this army was too chaotic. There were the original troops of the Speech Panic Tribe, the troops he used coercion and inducement to "buy" (or abduct) from, the troops composed of volunteers who volunteered to follow him, and even some unwilling troops to come from the Son of the Plunder. In short, although there was a coalition of three tribes opposite, he would only be even more chaotic. Especially the army of the Son of the Plunder, their commander, the Chaos Champion of Tsengchi, was obviously dissatisfied with his decision. However, Ashu Rufate had no choice because he was completely unfamiliar with this army, and he had never even seen the middle-level officers, let alone remember the names or something. He had to, and could only rely on Bruce.

"Sir," said the wizard beside him, the wizard who was dressed like a "primitive man". "I just got the magical communication. Our camp was safe and there was no suspicion."

Ashrufa nodded, which was completely within his expectations. If there was any new gain during this period, it was that he finally understood why the Chaos Wizard named Hadmond dressed up like this. This was a means to please the gods, and Hadmond himself vowed to Tseki to strictly practice - essentially, it was similar to those wandering warriors in the chaotic wilderness.

"They are many..." Bruce expressed his opinion again. It can be seen that he was not afraid - no believer in Chaos would be afraid of fighting, let alone a champion in Chaos - but he was just dissatisfied, because facing the dominant enemy head-on is exactly what Tsengchi doesn't like - simply relying on violence to solve problems is the idea of ​​the terrorist believer.

Unfortunately, although Ash Rufate is nominally a Chaos Lord recognized by Tseki, he actually has no idea of ​​accommodating Tseki's style and hobbies. Moreover, perhaps it is precisely because he stands from the objective perspective of "non-believers" that he can vaguely realize that Tseki made him the Chaos Lord not without reason. Tseki's wizard will not mention Tseki's warriors, those Chaos warriors, God-selected warriors, and even Chaos champions like Bruce are too used to and relying on conspiracies and tricks, so that he forgets that the ability to fight head-on is the foundation of the war.

At this point, the contrast between the believers of terror and the believers of Tsengchi is the most obvious. The believers of terror never pay attention to any conspiracy. They only fight hard and rush hard, but their combat power is recognized as the strongest in chaos. Tsengchi believers rely too much on strategies that their combat power is recognized as the weakest. For example, Bruce, although he is indeed very strong by the standards of ordinary humans, if he and Sager compete one-on-one, Ashu Rufate will never bet on him.

Yes, if you only use fighting skills, Bruce might be a little higher, but Sager's amazing power and fierce fighting style are enough to make all skills meaningless.

"Bruce, there is only one chance." Ashu Rufate was not patient and listened to him to continue. Speaking of which, if you want to recruit subordinates, the terror believers are the simplest and easiest to obey, and the ideas of Tsengchi's believers are much more complicated. For example, this Bruce, he always guarded against Ashu Rufate and distrusts three points. "See, the Rune Lord Tribe... is about to complete the formation, and the Void Thorn Tribe has not yet completed..."

The coalition of the three tribes entered the battlefield in batches. This is a very common and normal idea. If the order of the two parties to the warring parties arrive at the battlefield in sequence, then the party that arrives first will set up a formation first (for granted) in order to avoid being attacked by the other party when the formation is deployed, and the party that arrives will set up a formation wing after wing. In this case, even if it is attacked by the other party, it can have enough room to react. Even in the worst case, the army that completes the formation can cover the friendly forces to evacuate the battlefield in time. The strongest rune master tribe is first, and the weakest Gas tribe is the last to arrange the array.

"Let the Chaos Egg hit the forward and start the attack!" Ashu Rufate ordered.

The two armies have confronted each other across the air, with a distance of about a thousand steps in the middle. In the middle of the two armies is a plain with green grass, and the sun shines on these weeds, reflecting mottled light. The formation of the coalition forces is a typical fish scale formation. The characteristic of this formation is that each of the three lines gathers the main forces in the center of the formation and divides them into several small square formations, arranged in stairs, with a slightly convex front end. The basic tactical idea is to use wave attacks to break through, and is a formation with both offensive ability and durability, suitable for the advantageous side to actively attack weak enemies. Perhaps the Chaos Tribe has never heard of the word "fish scale formation", but this does not affect their layout of this formation called "fish scale formation" in military books.

Compared with the more complex fish scale formations of the coalition forces, the formation of speechless panic is much simpler. It is a three-line square formation, which maintains a horizontal line in the shape of a small square formation, without protruding or contracting. This is the simplest and easiest formation to complete.

At this moment, the army of the Rune Lord Tribe on the left wing had basically completed its formation, while the formation of the Void Thorn Tribe was only half arranged, and the Gas Tribe had just begun to set up its formation.

The low horn horn sounded slowly. The sound was thick and long, and everyone seemed to be able to feel a slight trembling under their feet. The trumpet sound slowly passed from the plain, and a gust of wind blew, and the wild grass seemed to feel the atmosphere of war, so they were shaking their heads in fear. Even the gods who were paying attention to everything in the sky seemed to feel the tension coming from below. A white cloud blocked the sun at the right time, making the light between heaven and earth softer, and more suitable for this battle.

The low sound of the horn horn deeply shook the hearts of every soldier on the battlefield. Even experienced soldiers, their hearts were tightened when they heard this sound. Fighting is a severe test for anyone, even the Chaos believers are no exception. Not to mention ordinary Chaos believers, even the Chaos Lords are in danger of falling in the cruel war. On the battlefield, human life is no more valuable than a weed. The horn horn is constantly blowing, and the initial uneasiness on the soldiers' faces began to gradually disappear, and their expressions became cold and bloodthirsty. It seemed that this voice was constantly inputting a concept into the soldiers' hearts: they must fight to the death, otherwise they would perish.

The eyes of the gods were watching this battle.

The first wave of attacks began with magic. Realizing that the battle was about to begin, the magicians of both armies were doing the same thing: casting spells, destroying the other party's casting. If a wizard was watching at this time, he would easily feel several waves of magic in his speechless panic - someone was trying to extract energy from the magic wind. But the waves of these magic eventually dissipated because their opponents interfered with their casting.

Similarly, on the coalition side, there were also fluctuations of magic winds. Most of these fluctuations disappeared invisible due to interference, but one magic succeeded. The energy extracted from the magic wind was woven into a dimensional flame, and the flame suddenly burst out among the crowd of people on the speechless panic. In a moment, dozens of warriors were wiped out, and a huge gap appeared in the entire small square formation.
