Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1172: Flames of War Flew Everywhere

The volcano on the battlefield continued to erupt, but the height and power of the pillars of fire were gradually decreasing. Even so, it still forced the outsider vanguard to disrupt the original formation. They had to bypass the dead zone to continue their charge. However, in this way, both his momentum and speed were greatly reduced, and he no longer felt the heart-shaking sensation of the Kuroshio.

"That's amazing." A gentle breeze blew across Stark's face, and a smile quietly broke out on his indifferent face. In his eyes, the pillar of fire on the battlefield split his eyeballs into two. The volcanic bullets flashed with flames and lit up his eyes. "Before Level 30, he had awakened this ability that could change the terrain and possess considerable power. This was the reward of the path of blood, right?"

"Alan, my brother. Do you know that every cell of mine is calling for you? They are looking forward to being compatible with you." Stark gently raised his hand. His voice was so weak that only he could hear it. However, the breeze that blew past him instantly turned into a deep roar!

Allen turned around and looked behind the position, but he found nothing but helmets, spears, and flags. A moment ago, he felt as if he was being watched, but it seemed to be just an illusion. After all, it was only natural that he would be watched when he was in front of the army.

The enemy is coming.

Alan looked at Saron, who nodded and returned to his position with Bai on horses. The Bucks' soldiers separated in an orderly manner, leaving a path for Alan. When Alan passed by, the passageway closed again. Alan rode his horse and disappeared from the sight of the soldiers.

"Prepare for battle!" Salon roared, pointing at the surging tide of soldiers from the western plains.

Behind him, rows of infantry passed him. These infantry carried an iron shield that was more than half the height of a person. They removed the iron shield, and under the shield, there were iron vertebrae that were thick and pointed. They inserted the iron vertebrae into the ground to increase the shield's impact resistance. The soldiers all wore shields on their shoulders, ready to withstand the first wave of attacks. This shield wall was more than a hundred meters long from south to north. After the first row of shield soldiers had been prepared, the second and third rows of shield soldiers followed closely behind, forming a defensive array with depth. Behind them were the spearmen and musketeers. As for the Bucks' cavalry, they were dispatched to the central formation of the main corps.

The Kuroshio rolled over, causing the ground to tremble. The human officers kept shouting, encouraging the soldiers not to retreat and igniting the courage and flames in their hearts.

Among the infantry in the front row, a soldier's eyes crossed the iron shield and looked at the outsider soldier who was getting closer and closer. In his eyes, a blade demon wearing a helmet let out a shrill cry and swung a rough machete at him. The figure of the Saber Demon continued to expand in his eyes. Finally, the soldier let out a furious roar. Holding the shield tightly, the Saber Demon clashed with the shield, then the long saber randomly hacked down on the iron shield, pulling out a string of sparks.

Black waves surged in all directions, slamming heavily on the steel embankments of humans. The moment they collided, countless waves of death splashed out. The spearmen and musketeers interweaved in the defensive array. After the first wave of the enemy's attack was blocked by the shield wall, they roared angrily and sent their spears out through the gap in the shield wall. They either stabbed into the body of the Saber Demon or smashed into their armor and lifted it into the air. The musketeers stood up and fired rows of guns at the enemy soldiers outside the shield wall before quickly retreating.

A Saber Demon valiantly crossed the first row of shield walls, but before he could land in the array, the second and third row of shield soldiers behind him raised their iron shields high above the top, leaving the Saber Demon only able to land on the shield. Then, he stabbed out a saber from under the shield and stabbed it to death in three or two strikes. Even if the lucky ones landed on the ground, the surrounding shield soldiers would disperse slightly and then close with iron shields. After the Saber Demon trapped in the middle of the iron shield was suppressed, the long saber extended from the gap behind the shield stabbed it into a sieve from all directions. When the iron shield scattered, the Saber Demon had already turned into a corpse.

In this way, the Bucks cooperated with each other like a millstone, constantly hanging the outsider vanguard troops.

With the firing of two artillery positions in the southeast, the war began in full swing. As Salon had said, today was a long day. However, everyone was focused on the battle in front of them, completely unaware of the passage of time. Salon's tactics were basically based on defense. After all, the enemy's strength was three times that of humans, or even more. In such a situation, persisting in attacking is not brave, but foolish. Salon made full use of the advantages of the humans' numerous arms and their ability to cooperate, so as to wipe out the enemy's blood.

However, just like what he had experienced, pure defense was very difficult to support until the end. Therefore, when the main force clenched their teeth on the enemy's attack, the two-winged army led by Keller and William would launch an attack. They stabbed into the enemy's left and right ribs like two daggers. Although they were unable to repel the enemy with a single blow, they could still kill and hurt them. Thus, they dispersed the pressure on the main corps and forced the enemy general to dispatch troops to deal with Keller's attack.

The enemy advanced and I retreated.

After noticing the movement of the foreign troops, Salon did not want to fight. He immediately ordered the two wings to scatter back and suppress the pursuers with the firepower of the two southeastern positions. Then he waited for the next opportunity to arrive and repeated the previous tactical movements. Gradually, the outsiders became impatient, their spirit gradually declining under Salon's water-grinding tactics.

At noon, the outsider general on the huge war chariot finally gave the order to attack. As a result, small mountain-like beasts dragged their Saber Demon troop carriers to charge into the defensive lines of the main human corps, while the Canadians drilled into the ground, forming countless Earth Dragons that extended towards the direction of the human battlefield. There were even more enemy soldiers who left the main formation and attacked the artillery positions on both sides of the southeast. In the end, the artillery on the other side also fired, and catapults threw tons of boulders into the sky above the human position.

The flames of war burned in the sky and on the ground.

Seeing the beasts attack, the cavalry that had been standing still finally came in handy. Under Salon's orders, the knights who had been holding their breath since the beginning of the battle finally had a chance to vent their anger. The defensive positions split open into passageways for the cavalry to gallop past. The human cavalry had already accelerated their charge in their own position. When they left the main formation, they charged into the foreign army with an unstoppable posture. josei

There were a total of 5,000 cavalry, and every 500 cavalry cavalries were a team. A total of 10 teams tore apart the outsider vanguard like long swords. However, the cavalry were not targeting Saber Demon and Gatu warriors, but the beasts that would break through the defensive lines. As the ten cavalry squads went deeper into the enemy formation, Keller's two forces moved again to provide tactical cover for their own cavalry.

After diverting a portion of the attention of the human army from the two wings, it was difficult for the outsiders to intercept the cavalry effectively. The first cavalry had already locked onto their target. It was a beast that was shaking its head and roaring. The cavalry captain shouted, "Get the canisters ready."

So nearly half of the cavalry pulled out a grey-white jar tied to a short rope from their horse-side backpack. The cavalry rotated the grey ceramic jars with ropes and smashed them onto the beasts. The lethality of the cans against the beasts was negligible, but when the cans were shattered, the kerosene inside would be stained with the beasts. The cavalry continuously tossed out the canisters. Not only did the beast receive special greetings, even the troop carriers behind it received quite a few canisters.

After throwing the canister out a few times, the cavalry captain shouted, "Firearms, shoot!"

As a result, the remaining cavalry raised their guns and fired. When the rain of bullets fell on the beasts and the troop carriers, the kerosene on them instantly burned. The sudden appearance of flames not only made the beasts suffer, but also frightened them. Thus, regardless of the orders of the guardians, the beasts finally deviated from their original path, trampling countless outsider soldiers to death and colliding with another giant beast that was similarly on fire beside them.

Seeing the two beasts scream and fall, the cavalry let out cheers, and then under the orders of the captain, they rushed back and forth.

However, not all of the cavalry teams had successfully completed their missions. However, most of the beasts that had attacked were unable to complete their original missions. Not only did they not break through the human defenses as the outsider generals had expected, they also created quite a bit of chaos for their own armies. This made the Gatu general on the platform of the war chariot extremely angry.

It was only then that the beasts were prevented from attacking the defensive line, but the subsequent arrival of the Jana caused the human front to start to become chaotic. These bug-like outsiders attacked from underground. When they broke through the ground, they would drag the soldiers on the ground into the tunnels they had drilled out of, and then spit out dazzling waves of blood from the tunnels. For the first time since the Jana entered the war, the human line of defense was shaken.

Salon could only order the spearmen and musketeers to attack the Canaanites underground. The soldiers shouted and stabbed their spears into the ground to kill the Canaanites who were drilling underground, but this had little effect. So Salon could only change his strategy. He ordered the logistics troops to bring out all the canisters and let the soldiers smash them into the tunnels dug out by the Canadians. Finally, they ignited the canisters and burned them.

The Ghanaians had dug tunnels in all directions. Once the fire oil flowed through these tunnels, it would become a line of defense against fire. This was undoubtedly an insurmountable barrier for the Canadians who feared the light and heat, so they had no choice but to leave the underground. As a result, even though these insects were still difficult to deal with, it was much better than letting them come and go in the underground.

With the passage of time, the battle became more intense. Even the artillery battlefields in the southeast had to bear quite a bit of pressure as the outsiders attacked on the entire frontline.
