Section 331

A cold wind from the north blew across the flat earth.

This is the cold from the north - it is particularly attentive this year and comes earlier than ever before. People wearing short-sleeved clothes will have goose bumps all over their bodies because of this gust of wind, and people wearing long-sleeved clothes will also feel a chill that hits their bodies. Experienced people know that this cold wind is a horn to call the police or a polite letter of introduction, which means that another winter is coming.

However, at this moment, the solemn aura has already spread throughout the world. The clouds in the sky are gloomy, but not the gloom that is about to rain, but a gloom that covers the sun but cannot see when it will end. Below this thick cloud, there is a mist. This may be the result of the gods converging their eyes here, because fog is rare during this period of year.

Under the clouds and in the mist, countless warriors stood. All the warriors from the north and entrusted with the glory of the gods have formed battle formations on this plain destined to become a battlefield. What is far away from them is the coalition forces that shoulder the important task of defending their country and from the south.

This is actually not a place where military strategists must fight, nor is it a vital position. The reason why the two armies met here was actually just the result of planning by some people. The two armies arrived at the battlefield at a similar time. It was more similar to an encounter than waiting for a leisurely job. After the reconnaissance forces of both sides discovered the other side, the two armies had a brief confrontation yesterday due to caution, but after confirming it, they only took a rest for a night and went out to leave the barracks to prepare for the battle.

The Chaos Legion divides its army into three teams according to its traditional formation - this is a very natural and correct way that has been tested by countless wars. Whether it is humans, elves, dwarves, or even green-skinned, ogres, etc., they will use this method to fight, and the Chaos Legion will naturally be no exception.

Marvin stood on his magic plate, and together with a group of subordinates, watching the situation on the entire battlefield. Although he was deprived of his right to command, he still got a position on the battlefield with his identity and strength as a wizard lord.

It must be said that the battlefield chosen by the Lord of Blood Tooth is very good - although the battle here was planned by Ashu Rufate and Marvin, they just chose a general position on the map, and the real subtle position was chosen by Lord of Blood Tooth himself - in front there was a plain with all the horses, but behind them were hills.

On the map, this hill is just a small embellishment on the vast northeastern plain of Groney. However, when you really come here, you will find that this hill is actually a mountainous area that ordinary people spend half a day to day before they can travel through - although it is called a hill, it is not short, and some locations are even steep.

The Blood Tooth Lord lined up on the mountain, which was beneficial to the Chaos Legion, which had a slightly disadvantage in military strength, because it would at least make it difficult for the enemy to encircle the side and back. But then again, the number of disadvantages does not equal the disadvantage of combat power. Everyone must admit that the barbarians born and raised in the wilderness - or Chaos believers - had a greater advantage in physical fitness. The heavy warhammers and battle axes in their hands were difficult for everyone in the south to use, but the Chaos Warriors could easily swing, just as easily as the southerners swung their long swords. In addition, their ability to withstand damage was stronger than the southerners, and many battle examples showed that the same injury was fatal to the southerners, but the barbarians could still continue to swing weapons on the battlefield. Therefore, all Chaos Warriors, including the Blood Tooth Lord, believed that the combat power of both sides was roughly equal.

Because of this, the Blood-Tooth Lord decided to take the initiative at yesterday's military meeting. Just like most terror lords, he did not intend to use tricks such as "post-attack" and "lasting consumption". When the two armies approached, the Chaos Legion immediately launched an attack and launched a fierce attack with the left wing as the forefront.

Marvin turned his attention to the Chaos Legion arranged in an array. As a magician, he can receive special care. The magician has precious combat power, and he can usually get a safe position even on the battlefield. Unless he is annihilated and defeated, the Tsengqi wizard with the magic plate always has a much greater chance of survival than others. Not to mention that Marvin is not worried about his own safety in this battle at all. As long as he is not involved in the melee, he is safe.

With the help of the Demon Pan, he was able to float to a higher height and see the entire Chaos military power. In fact, he could float higher - but that might anger the Blood-Tooth Lord. Although Marvin never admitted it, he actually knew in his heart that he was still a little afraid of the terrifying madman. Eloquence, conspiracy, etc. may not be good for the terrifying madman - his mind is not on the same path as you at all.

On the left wing of the Chaos Legion, Marvin saw countless Chaos Warriors wearing Chaos Armor. Most of these armors were not exquisite and even seemed a bit rough. But when they really arrived on the battlefield, people would find that these armors were much more refined and durable than they looked. The armor of a few Chaos champions was accompanied by simple but practical magic. As for the Chaos Lord, there was no need to say more. All these armors were gifts from the gods - much more useful than the armors worn by the humans by the Southerners. In a while, the swords of the Southerners will prove the value of these armors.

What a pity. A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Marvin's mouth. He knew that most of these Chaos warriors were believers of terror, and they were also the core force that the Blood Tooth Lord relied on. It was precisely because of these subordinates that the Blood Tooth Lord almost killed Marvin. However, I believe that Ash Rufate on the opposite side had prepared a big meal for these terror madmen. Soon, Marvin would no longer have to worry about the terror madmen.

There were sounds of trumpets, fighting and muskets in front of him. Some figures appeared faintly in the fog, intertwined with each other. The indescribable passion began to spread among the Chaos Warriors, and everyone couldn't help but hold the weapon tightly.

This is the orderly war before the formal battle - like all the cruel wars of this era, before the main forces of the two armies contact, the light-equipped troops will start fighting first. The light-equipped troops have little effect in frontal combat. Their task is to disrupt the enemy as much as possible, destroy the enemy's formation, and reconnaissance the enemy's virtual and real situation before the main forces fight. This instead makes them have a fierce conflict called "order war" before the main forces fight.

It must be said that although the orderly battle is not decisive, its fierce and cruelty are definitely not inferior to the duel of the main force. The situation in front of him verified this statement. A team of cavalry appeared from the fog and came towards the Chaos Legion head-on. After discovering the Chaos Flag, it suddenly stopped. At this time, another team of cavalry suddenly came out of the slant, and the two troops immediately strangled together, one after another of the living lives fell into dust with screams, and were repeatedly trampled by countless horse hooves.

The Chaos Warriors were not moved at all. Even the plunderers who had the worst combat experience (or the lowest favor from the evil gods) and did not even have Chaos Armor. On the contrary, death and blood stimulated their bloodthirsty impulse, and their faces began to show excitement, and they couldn't wait to have a fight.

More cavalry appeared from the fog. Now, the tactics of both sides can be seen. The light cavalry of the coalition forces are trying hard to distance themselves and use their pistols to attack the enemy. The plunder cavalry uses their more advanced horsemanship and try every means to put on the light cavalry to fight in close combat. It is hard to tell who has gained the upper hand, but there are more and more corpses on the ground and horses running around without riding.

Of course, the sight of ordinary soldiers is far less good than that of Marvin at high places. In fact, even if there is fog, Marvin can see that both sides are evenly matched. To be honest, muskets are really not covered. Although the plunder cavalry has better horse skills and more advanced fighting skills, they can never defeat the enemy. The accuracy of the pistol is very poor, but the shooting accuracy is still considerable within a distance of three to five meters. Many powerful Chaos Raiders get a bullet and fall off their horses inexplicably, becoming part of corpses everywhere.

It performed better than I expected. Marvin looked at this scene, but suddenly thought of another question. He looked to the right wing. There was the weakest part of the Chaos Legion battle formation. A large part of it was Tsengchi's warriors. Of course, because he was deprived of command, Marvin could not command them for the time being. Their mission was not to defeat the enemy in front of him, but to hold on to the enemy in front of him. Of course, even this, Marvin didn't want to do it. He had contacted a small number of subordinates. When the battle was fierce and the Blood Tooth Lord could not take care of him, Marvin would lead them out of the battlefield.

But if the opponent's light cavalry is strong enough... then the retreating Marvin will inevitably encounter trouble - because Ashu Rufate cannot openly order his subordinates to prohibit his followers from pursuing the fugitive enemy. If this happens, it is very likely that Marvin's subordinates will be pursued. Ashu Rufate may care about the Nurgle curse on his body and let Marvin go, but his subordinates do not understand this.

Forget it... After a little contemplation, Ma Wen gave up his efforts in this regard. Although this risk exists, it is also very low. If he retreats quickly and early enough, it will be difficult for the chasing troops to catch up.

His eyes were on the Chaos Champion who was responsible for commanding the right wing - the guy was riding a tall horse and standing in front of the right wing. The Chaos Champion did not belong to a certain evil god, in other words, he worshiped the four evil gods as a whole. In fact, such people accounted for the majority of the Chaos believers. However, Marvin looked down on this type of Chaos believer, because only those truly smart people understood that completely leaning into the arms of a certain evil god was the shortcut to a higher position. This was the commander appointed by the Blood Tooth Lord - it can be seen that the Blood Tooth Lord had no hope for his left wing, so he casually appointed someone to command.

But he would rather designate someone casually than hand over command to Marvin. When he thought of this, the wizard Tsengchi found that a raging anger was burning in his heart. This was a flame mixed with jealousy, anger and hatred. However, the source of this flame was not so much dissatisfied with being deprived of command, but rather anger arising from being exposed by the Lord of Blood Tooth.

That's right, the Blood-Tooth Lord, who was supposed to be just a puppet, was just a chess piece he had taken to move and removed, actually threatened him. He did not rely on his careful thinking, but on his instinctive intuition to remove the traps and fog set up by Marvin.

However, it's a pity that the Blood Tooth Lord did not kill Marvin after all. Since he didn't do this, things are now reversed.

"Sir." The voice of his subordinates pulled Marvin back from his frenzied thoughts. The orderly battle had ended, and the light cavalry on both sides left corpses all over the ground and began to evacuate the battlefield. This was because the main forces of the two armies were approaching a very close point and no longer needed the light troops to cover and cooperate.

An unusually abrupt horn sounded. This was a warning message. Then, the same fully armed coalition soldiers appeared from the mist and slowly approached the Chaos Legion's front.
