Chapter 333 The Raiders
Chapter 333: Strange Soldier
Marvin's attention was all focused on the left wing of the Chaos Legion. As he had promised Ash Rufat before, he and his men had no intention of intervening in this battle. At least, they had no intention of helping Lord Blood Tooth.
This is an obvious logic. The only reason why Lord Blood Tooth did not kill Marvin was that he did not want to weaken his combat power on the eve of the final battle. If Lord Blood Tooth won in this battle - well, based on the logic of the terror lord's action, anyone can infer what Marvin's outcome would be - Marvin's only choice is to escape quickly.
Of course, if you really take out all the cards, you have to say something else, but if you do so, the consequences will not be borne by Marvin.
With his position of "clear onlookers" at this time, he could see the situation of the two armies. The central part of the two armies has the largest number of troops, accounting for about half of the total force. Unfortunately, it is just a large number of troops. At least Ma Wen knew that the order received by one side was to "maintain the main focus and maintain the front line to standby" and the other side should "prioritize the protection of the long-range troops". This is necessary to fight. Both sides will fight more conservatively (if the commander follows the commander's order), which means that there is no such three or five hours, and it is probably impossible to decide the outcome. In other words, the key to the victory or defeat of this battle has nothing to do with the battle of the central part. That's right, the muskets and artillery arranged by Ash Rufate in the center may cause very effective damage, and can even provide firepower reinforcements for the two wings, but this is still not the key point that determines the outcome of the war.
As for the right wing of the Blood Tooth Lord (that is, the left wing of Ashrufate), one side was ready to delay the battle in advance, while the other side was obviously ordered to break through the enemy's front at the fastest speed. This is a typical example. Although Marvin believes that the heavy-armed knights of the Southerners will eventually win - without external interference, the Chaos Legion arranged here cannot withstand the repeated attacks of the knights. They can hold on for a while, but sooner or later they will collapse due to the accumulation of casualties.
But then again, even the Blood Tooth Lord himself did not expect his right wing to win. He just needed them to delay for a long enough time, right? Although the Southern Knights have strong combat power, Marvin did not think they could defeat the frontal enemy in one round.
Although what they faced was the weakest part of the mixed team.
Unfortunately, Ashu Rufate still made a mistake. Marvin's mood had calmed down, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. The so-called smart calculations meant this situation. If Ashu Rufate had not arranged his elite troops here, then Marvin would have been preparing to take this force out of the battlefield after the battle began. Ashu Rufate did this, in fact, it would be equivalent to forcing the neutral person who was not originally an enemy to his hostile position, which was stupid!
Now, the key to the battle lies in this round of impact from the Blood Tooth Lord. If he can completely defeat the front spearmen with the first attack, then the situation is probably... for Ashu Rufate, he is not very optimistic.
The two armies were approaching quickly. Chaos warriors with continuous firepower from the flanks charged, and they could see one Chaos warrior after another falling down in front of bullets and crossbow arrows, but this casualty could not stop the Chaos Legion's fanatical charge.
There are dozens of Chaos Eggs rushing to the front line of the Chaos Front. Although these monsters look like onions, their actual action speed is not slow. At the same time, the thick muscles on the surface of the Chaos Eggs allow them to withstand great damage. If they don’t hit the key points, the bullet hit them is almost the same as tickling them. These monsters waved their tentacles, ignoring the hail-like rain of bullets, and rushed to the front line of chaos.
I'm afraid that the situation of Ashu Rufate is not good. Marvin noticed this problem almost immediately. The Blood Tooth Lord's idea is very straightforward and easy to see through. First, use the fierce Chaos Egg to tear the front line to disrupt and kill the enemy, and then the main force takes the opportunity to attack. However, it is meaningless to see through the enemy's arrangement. Facing monsters like Chaos Egg, either use long-range weapons to knock them down before, or they have to exchange a large number of casualties of warriors. Although the Chaos Egg is very strong, it cannot stop the siege of thousands of people from behind. However, it is obvious that the firepower from the flanks is not enough to eliminate so many Chaos Eggs, and the troops arranged by Ashu Rufate cannot be afraid of sacrifice.
Because there was a clear commotion in the phalanx of the spearmen. The performance at the last moment before the two sides fought is the best way to illustrate the combat effectiveness of the army. As we all know, discipline measures the most obvious sign of the combat effectiveness of most (if not all) troops. If an army can maintain a stable formation at this time, it is an elite force. And if an army shows commotion at this moment...
Then this is an army with poor discipline and poor combat effectiveness. Marvin could tell at a glance. At this time, the fog seemed to have faded a little, or both armies advanced a little further. Marvin had discovered that Ash Rufate had arranged more than the spearmen here. Although generally, it could be called the "spear phalanx", the many small phalanxes that formed this large phalanx were mixed with a considerable number of sword, shield and halberd soldiers. These two seemed to be a little calmer than the spearmen.
But this is useless. This square formation is dominated by spear infantry, and their combat power seems to be not very reliable.
Marvin had already begun to think about how he would deal with the Blood-Tooth Lord after the battle ended. Fortunately, he immediately remembered that Ash Rufate had a huge reserve team that was too large, but Blood-Tooth Lord did not have such a backup plan. Of course, on the other hand, there is also magic, a factor that can change the situation of the battle.
Well, the outcome is hard to say...
At that time, the Chaos Eggs had hit the front line of the spearmen. Although this monster was once a human, its size and strength are now far beyond the scope of humans. Although the dense spears in the front line penetrated their bodies deeply, they could not resist the huge inertial force generated by their charge.
Except for a few Chaos that fell down because of the spear piercing through the vital points, almost all the other Chaos Eggs easily knocked out the human warriors blocking the way. They rushed into the square formation and began to ravage the enemy's front line like all the wild beasts. As mentioned earlier, the Chaos Egg's tentacles have great power, and a full-strength attack of a tentacle can easily knock a person away dozens of steps away. If there are not enough companions to share the impact force of this level of attack, even if it does not interrupt the human bones and leaves permanent damage (of course, this requires not a little luck), it will be enough to immediately make a warrior lose the ability to fight.
In a blink of an eye, victims like this were everywhere. Several fierce Chaos Eggs even wrapped around the same target with multiple tentacles, tearing their bodies apart. This method of killing was not very efficient, but it had a heavy blow to morale. The spearmen had obviously shrunk and were afraid to launch an attack. Many soldiers were trying hard to avoid the Chaos Egg attack rather than fighting.
The Chaos Eggs rushed into the spearmen formation alone. Although they attacked the masses with few attacks, they caused great casualties and chaos, and only a handful of them were killed.
At this time, the Chaos Legion had already collided with the chaotic formation and low morale spearmen.
It is hard to describe the destruction caused by that moment. The Chaos Warrior wearing Chaos Armor had better equipment, stricter formation, and stronger morale than his opponents - of course, he also had stronger physical fitness and more skilled combat skills. Looking from a high point, it was not a conflict between the two armies, but more like a storm blowing through the desert - everything in front that had been completely swallowed up in the blink of an eye.
"Master, the chaos of the Magic Wind seems to be about to stop." A subordinate's voice rang out.
"Well, I understand." Marvin replied lightly. This phenomenon of chaos in magic wind is not rare. In fact, magicians have a way to create such phenomena manually - just use a few more magic-breaking scrolls. However, this time the chaos in magic wind is just a natural phenomenon, just like it rains in the sky.
Regardless of whether the chaos of Magic Wind stopped or not, Marvin had no intention of intervening.
The spear infantry on the front line had collapsed, and a small number of high-spirited halberd soldiers and swords and shield soldiers finally performed slightly better, winning the opportunity for their escaped companions to escape. However, in this way, the braver troops left behind became the targets of the enemy's concentrated attack. The battle would not last too long.
If the large square formation of the spear infantry was roughly divided into three layers, then the attack just now completely destroyed the first layer's resistance. Many small square formations have collapsed and collapsed, and the first layer no longer exists. Moreover, this is only a short time. Not to mention the Chaos Warriors who have tasted victory and blood on the battlefield, even Ma Wen, who was watching from afar, thinks that the Blood Tooth Lord's victory is extremely high. Fighting is a process of increasing one another. The Blood Tooth Lord's troops have almost no losses in close combat, and their morale has increased greatly due to the small victory. On the contrary, the coalition soldiers were obviously depressed because they saw the friendly forces collapse so easily.
The Blood-Tooth Lord only needs to stop and attack the enemy's second level immediately with a little extra team. If this situation is repeated twice, unless Ashrufate sends his reserve team in time, the defeat in this battle will be irreversible.
A strange sound came from afar. Marvin noticed that behind the spear infantry phalanx, something strange was entering the battlefield.
They were vehicles—it looked like they were covered with steel and were covered with cannons. The edges of their shells were made of sharp blades. It was fine, at least Marvin had seen southerners often use vehicles to move their cannons. What was really amazing was that these vehicles were moving spontaneously, without being dragged by cattle or horses. On the contrary, they were covered with white mist.
