Chapter 178 Gray
Chapter 178 Gray
The last few soldiers of the Burton family quickly leaped backward and a wall of categorized huge shields appeared in front of the Lying water soldiers, frightening them...
"HYAAAAAAAA" shouted the soldiers of the Lying Water at the front line and tried to attack and uproot a few shields of the wall, but to no avail, and everyone who came close to a certain distance would be stabbed by a spear from over the wall, slashing his head.
"Where are the knights! We need them again!!" The rush stopped once more, Everyone automatically awaited their knights to come from behind and destroy the shield wall again as they did a while ago
But when they looked behind them, they found their Knights were fighting people with bows on their backs and light swords in their hands, and their heads were quickly falling one by one... A complete one sided massacre
the 600 Knights of the Wind legion had descended from the hill and blocked the road from behind!
"Make your way to the side! We have to-..." shouted the assistant general, attacking the sides was a waste of time and energy in his eye minutes ago, as the Burton family soldiers that didn't retreat were all strong and most of them was holding a categorized weapon
Focusing on moving forward was the right choice then, but any more... attacking men that are made of flesh and blood was much better than trying to take down this damn shield wall in front of them!
but even this dangerous idea was met by another wall of categorized shields to his left, and when he looked behind him, he saw a shield wall on his right as well...
They were sealed in like a giant cup of human bodies..
in a formation that looked like _n_
They were surrounded by categorized shield walls from the front and the two sides, while they were blocked by 600 knights from the rear
and the assistant general could see that more heavy infantry with categorized shields appeared behind them to complete the rectangle shape and block them completely inside…
and saw the 600 Burton family knights moving with extreme speed and started to take position around the rectangle, it was obvious that they wanted to help the spear holders in their mission to make sure no one will jump over these walls...
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! Where the hell did you get all these categorized shields from?!" The assistant general started shouting, "My Men, fear not, Keep Moving Forward! we have to Break through this wall, we must get to the top of the hill at full speed!!"
as he said, "the hill" and pointed upwards to fire up his soldiers and give them a target and a new hope... But when their eyes turned up, whatever hope left was gone, and replaced by complete despair
The number of the talisman archers at the top has increased by at least 5,000 more of them, they became so much that the top of the hill appeared to be covered with humans,
Seeing this, despair possessed even the assistant general himself as he muttered, "This is bad..."
"RELEASE!!"
*SWOOOOOOSH*
*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*
after the order was given, the nearly seven thousand archers started injecting their energy into the fire explosion talismans then shot at the closed see of human buddies randomly
"ARGHHH"
"Open a way for me, I have kids I don't want them to be orph-..."
"Don't shoot your arrows here! Don't shoot here!! I surrender!!"
The first round was sufficient to kill whatever fighting intent within them, many of them started to throw down their weapons and try to find a close corpse to get under it and protect themselves from the explosions
As after the second round... the huge closed rectangle turned into a massive pool of sticky blood...
Because the shields were firmly attached to each other and planted in the ground, the blood and body parts of tens of thousands of dead did not seep outside, but rather accumulated inside the rectangle and began to rise with each falling arrow.
Leaving aside the terror descending from the sky, looking underground was enough to kill any remaining spirits of the Lying Water Soldiers, who were soaked in their brothers' blood.
*swoooosh*
*boom boom boom boom*
The third round came down, killing over 20,000 additional soldiers, and killing with them any shred of brains left in the rest.
In the blink of an eye, everyone threw their weapons to the blood lake beneath them, knelt down, and raised their hands to the sky... expressing complete submission
On the other side
"Damn it…" The General of the Lying Water Army and the rest of the Saints by his side floated up and they could see everything going on inside the rectangle... it was the definition of the term one sided massacre.
The General Then looked down... His originally 300,000-strong army has come down to less than 100,000 soldiers that haven't entered the *death box* in time
As for his knights, they are all now fully engaged with the Knights of Burton's Army who has a roaring lion icon on their armor, and those who use the *darkness talismans* and hit from the shadows...
they were already in balance before, but after a few tens of knights of the Lying Water Kingdom side left them to open the gap, the knights battle slightly lost balance and it became in the Burtons' favor even without the Wind Legion helping them!
But thinking about it, even if he managed to pull some of them out of the knights' battle, he still faces a big problem... and that is the 600 bow-bearing knights standing in front of him and besieging the shield wall rectangle..!
Where did the Burton family get all these knights from? isn't the Burtons are start-ups who were ordinary Earl family just a decade ago?!
Currently, he has no weapon but himself and the rest of the saints, he can only make his way through the 600 bow-bearing knights quickly and destroy the wall and then deal with them in an open battle,
if he and his saints started a fight in the middle of the enemy infantry they can use the opportunity to kill a few tens of them with wide scale energy attacks and cancel their advantage, maybe he can send an attack or two towards the annoying archers up the hill as well...
As for his 100,000 soldiers, if he broke through the walls for them, they could still save their comrades, continue the plan and keep going up the hill and tip the scales again in their favor!
"EVERYONE, WE ARE GOING ALL IN, ADVAAAANCE!" The General resolved to command him, so he raised his sword at the Burton family's army and flew towards them quickly, with the 20 Saints flying behind him.
"AAAHHHHH!!"
"Help!!"
But...
Instead of the war cries... screams of pain and despair suddenly sounded from behind him
The general and the rest of the saints stopped and turned around to look back, and they found 1,500 war horses piercing the rear of their army with ease like they were stepping on ants...
"Are those... knights?! Damn!!" Realizing the situation, the general shouted, "Quickly go back and stop them!!"
"You are all going to die today!!" Seeing the saints coming towards him, Caesar let out a loud shout, " FIRE LEGION, WE SHALL FEAST ON SAINTS TODAY!!"
Then he raised his halberd upwards and a gray-colored flame erupted out like a dormant volcano that stayed silent for thousands of years.
just the extremely gloomy aura of the gray flames alone was enough to terrify everyone who felt it…
The 1500 fire knights activated their white flames and advanced behind their leader, and rushed straight towards the Saints!
----------------------
On the other side of the scene...
"Is that... the Fire legion?!" Saint David was suspended after he saw a sea of ??white flame sweeping the enemy army from behind
Robin nodded, "Yep, I told Caesar to go round them and attack them where they stand, and maybe pull them back even further from us by attacking their weaker soldiers that stand at the rear."
"... why? we could have just sent them from here in a straight line!" David asked with a raised eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm could be heard in his tune as well
"If they marched from here, their saints would have advanced quickly to stop them before they reach their army, another battle at the middle would have erupted, and at least one of them would have sneaked destroyed the shields, and wreaked havoc here,
another saint might have slipped and returned to their remaining army and moved them to cause even more chaos, all in all, it would have been a very stupid move that put us on a standstill... and we don't want that, do we?" Robin replied directly.
"You…." David looked at his side in amazement, is that really the *inexperienced* boy?
He led the battle from start to finish as if he had fought a hundred wars in the past!
"I'm what? I have read a few books..." Robin laughed and then looked to Saint David his side, "Why are you still here? Take Mila and the rest of the Saints, and half the Wind Legion and go help Caesar, and send the other half of the Wind Legion to finish the battle against the Knights on the right flank… This battle is over."
