Devil’s Son-in-Law

Chapter 504: The Beginning of the Showdown

In the early morning, in the wilderness in front of the town of Reyes, the two armies kept an effective distance, remotely opposite each other.

The two armies were quite large in size, and the black pressure was divided into large pieces that could not have been accommodated without such vast plains as the wilderness of the town of Reese.

Birds and animals perched on the plains were long gone, and invisible oppression made almost everyone's face appear clouded. Everyone understood that once this terrible tranquillity was broken, the killing machine would erupt like a storm.

In the central formation of the Imperial Coalition, Commander Obama. Lucifer squinted her eyes, her face tight and seemed serene on the surface, but, looking closely, those purple eyes were covered with weary blood silk, apparently sleepless all night.

Opposite the Alliance is Dark Moon's army, ridden by a white demon horse and dressed in silver and white armor by Dark Moon Commander Shea. Lucifer, although only for the second time truly commanding a major military battle, showed extraordinary serenity and calm compared to the last time she faced the Red Ghost and Blue Melt coalition.

“Thea. Lucifer!” Obsidian's voice rang up and squeezed all the noise down, "I give you one last chance, yield! I can give you the Empress's place! ”

Shea's chilling voice echoed in the wilderness: "Obsidian. Lucifer! You're just a usurper who can't be recognized by the sword of a fallen angel. You don't deserve to be an emperor! Besides, you lost your emperor now! ”

Obsidian, who had been stabbed by a word, was finally ashamed and angry: "He who obeys me lives and dies! I swear by the name of the Lucifer clan that all of you will be buried with this stubborn woman! ”

The Demon Emperor's peak-level repression does not play much of a role in this wilderness, yet the fierce vows of last name made by Obsidian, the supreme ruler of the Empire, do shock the Dark Moon Army.

“Over the past 300 years, we have lived in a barren dark moon, subjected to inhuman sanctions and stripping. In order to survive, we have endured humiliation and let anyone trample on our dignity! Finally, one day, with our own efforts and diligence, we will overcome famine, overcome poverty, be able to raise our heads and become human beings, no longer bow down for a bite of leftovers, be able to have a happy life and family. Yet at this moment, this rebel who usurped the empire, this brutal, greedy, arrogant shameless man, wants to plunder our hard-won gains, to trample our bodies and our dignity again, to destroy everything we have! Tell me, generals, soldiers, my brothers and sisters! Would you like to? ”

“No!” The dark moon army sounded neat and bright, a completely different atmosphere from the original Lord's War, full of fighting spirit and courage, and the negative emotions brought about by the oath of Obsidian disappeared.

Shia raised the crown flag: “Perhaps we will sacrifice our lives, but when we see the Fallen Angel Empire's forefathers again in front of the Demon God, we can still raise our heads of pride! The heirs of the Flaming Flame of Red Blood, our eyes are full of fighting blood, our sharp blades are ready to destroy the fragile enemy! The will of the King's Flag will guide us in the way forward, and the Daytime Emperor's inheritance will give us the highest glory and courage! Warriors, fight for the Dark Moon, fight for the Empire! ”

“Battle! Battle!”

Dark Moon Army morale surged, weapons landed and shields knocked neatly, causing the whole field to tremble slightly, as did the Empire Army's heart.

Since Shia shouted out “Fight for the Empire”, many soldiers of the coalition's confidence began to shake. Although the Great Night Emperor of the Day fell for 300 years, the legend of the first powerful man of the demonic world and the first god of the Army remained deep in the people's hearts. The coalition had suffered successive defeats before, and the Emperor was supported by the fall of the first general of Shia, George, and the people's hearts floated. Today, in the face of the powerful atmosphere of the Dark Moon Army, the will of the Great Night Emperor of the Red Flame was almost suppressed to the low valley.

If he knew what to say, the Dark Moon's morale didn't shake. Instead, he was discouraged on his side. There was no more spelling and ordered the infantry in the front row to attack.

This light infantry, of about 20,000, is an elite from the Lord's Army, commanded by the Lord Poppy of the Green Tree Territory, equipped with a shield and armor, of which 5,000 are archers and arrows, with a strong combined combat power. Obsidian was the first to launch this infantry, apparently in an attempt to throw stones for directions.

Light infantry formed several rectangular positions, and proceeded at a neat pace toward the Dark Moon Army formation. Thea responded quickly, and platoons of soldiers headed forward. The soldiers in front were the most powerful horn demons, and the two together held a large giant shield. Due to the height of the giant shield, the situation was not very clear behind them, which seemed to be archers.

Archers versus infantry? With a slight smile on his face, he ordered the Emperor's Legion of Stonehenge to go out and keep the distance behind him. The Legion of Stonehenge was composed of heavy armored infantry and longgun infantry under the command of General Lombardon. Even if the other party sent a demonic cavalry led by rebel Nesta, it could be defeated.

Troops on such a large battlefield are not instant strategic games in which the commander-in-chief can be easily controlled by drawing a frame with a mouse. Commanding hundreds of people and directing hundreds of thousands and millions of people is entirely the same thing. The more troops are difficult to command, the harder it is for the commanders to do what they usually do. Imagine that when many people are running backwards and backwards, even if they don't want to, they will be trampled to death, as the so-called defeat of the soldiers is in the mountains.

The better the army, the more forbidden, instructive and powerful it is, which requires not only excellent command, but also rigorous training.

Black and Shea are like two chess players, send one of their own chess pieces, the chess players fight each other and kill each other. In addition to the redeployment of the chess players themselves, it is also very important that the specific soldiers are born with grams and the players themselves are conductors. For example, the archers restrain the gunmen, the gunmen restrain the cavalry, the cavalry restrain the infantry, but if the cavalry is properly commanded, it is not necessarily possible to flatten the gunmen.

War is not a simple digital game, but the commanders of Didu's own army formation are mostly famous generals through hundreds of wars, and the experience of Obama himself is superior to that of Shia. In this case, the Emperor Army, which is still superior in number, does win more.

The current advantages of the Dark Moon are ostensibly just morale, but morale is highly volatile. As long as the Allied forces can emerge from the battlefield, the morale of the Dark Moon Army will naturally collapse, and victory will not be difficult, at least in Obsidian.

The Allied Light Infantry and the Heavy Troops of the Boulder Legion are keeping their distance and moving forward at a neat pace. At this current security distance, no acceleration is necessary, and Obsidian has secretly ordered the cavalry to prepare to start - with Hia's command experience, it will certainly be difficult to resist this successive battle, and the other side will start a whole army battle again when their hands are busy, then only drag the dragon tribes, and when the Dark Moon Army is washed down, the big picture will be settled.

In the face of heavy regiments after light infantry, Hia still did not send a counter-military formation, just what was being prepared for those slowly advancing giant shields to enter and exit. Shortly after, a crossbow was pushed out by the goblin warriors, and the shield stopped moving forward.

The crossbow has been replaced by a magic cannon due to various defects. This obsolete ordnance is reserved only in some backward places. Now the dark moon is launching a crippling crossbow on such a critical battlefield that even if Shea can no longer make such a stupid decision, Montenegro cannot help but frown.

Pitt and Lombardon also saw the crossbow, at which point the lightest infantry ahead was quite a distance from the range of the regular crossbow, so Pitt was not panicking, but commanded the army to slow down slightly, ready to accelerate the sprint after the first attack of the crossbow.

However, Pitt's slow command proved to be a typical mistake of empiricism, and he should not have judged these crossbows by conventional weapons in his own perception. While the infantry was still at a “safe distance", the crossbows had begun to fire, and the dull spring sounds were ringing and the bursting voices were roaring.

Just moments after the crossbow was launched, Pitt's voice finally added a hint of horror: “Spread out! ”

That sentence just came out, and that giant, spear-like crossbow had flown into a dense formation at a terrible high speed, and the light infantry's fragile shields or armor were easily penetrated. Immediately afterwards, the giant arrow burst open in a "bang" and countless short and sharp arrows in scattered green smoke burst out, nearby soldiers suddenly couldn't get under guard, and were penetrated by those arrows and screamed.

Green smoke is as poisonous as arrows, and many soldiers' bodies have begun to rot rapidly.

When Gerrant attacked the Wallace Fortress, heavy crossbow smoke could not work due to heavy rainfall, and in today's weather it is possible to maximize its power.

Not only did Pitt, Lombardon, even the coalition's own Obsidian and others change their faces, they have never seen such a range and power of strange crossbows, the dark moon has been hiding such horrible killers!

After a round of shooting, some 2,000 soldiers had been defeated because of the overly dense formation, and the crossbows were quickly filled with new giant arrows, which could be used by a small winch like prop, even the weak force of the Goblin warrior, without the slow, unmanageable weakness of a traditional crossbow.

The second round of crossbows was launched again, claiming nearly a thousand more lives. Soldiers in the light infantry formation had been frightened, but were not allowed to flee without receiving an order to withdraw, otherwise they would be killed directly by the military justice forces. At the command of Pitt, the light infantry began to rush with a hard scalp, followed by an accelerated order from Lombardon. Crossbows are far more powerful than you can imagine, and even an iron shield equipped with an army of boulders can't defend itself against the giant arrows that are ejected by that horrible force, and even more horrible than giant arrows are the poisonous smoke.

The role of heavy crossbows certainly diminished after they were dispersed, but under the careful control of the Goblin warriors, they still played a good role, with considerable killing and injury from each round of fire.

After the distance between the two sides drew closer, the archers behind the huge shield began to move, and the sky's arrow rain spilled on the lightest infantry soldiers in the front, the pure triple fire, together with the sharp arrows, caused a heavy blow to the lightest infantry. Without contact between the two sides, Pitt's infantry was already half dead and wounded.

Despite being attacked by heavy crossbows, the bursting arrows are much less damaging for heavy infantry covered in Iron Cay, but they cause a lot of trouble with toxins and poison smoke.

The number of light infantry soldiers fell sharply in front of the arrow rain. All Poppy could do was barely use his strength to defend himself. As a lord of the Great Demon King, he could still rely on his strength to cross the border. In this battlefield, it was nothing but cannon ash.

The price of the light infantry was not in vain. The heavy infantry in the back had approached. The damage caused by the bow and arrow of the dark moon had diminished considerably. At this time, a large amount of smoke appeared behind a row of giant shields. Horseshoe sounds could be heard implicitly. It should be the cavalry of the dark moon that began to launch.

Legion Commander Lombardon of the Boulder Legion quickly ordered the dispersed teams to assemble and slow down, placing the longguns in the front row, and the longguns in their hands were specially crafted to withstand enormous impact without being broken. For a sprint cavalry, high-speed running impulses can increase speed and kill, but can also bring more reactivity and become a string of burns on a longgun.

As for the defense of heavy crossbows after a centralized formation, Lombardon has one of the best minds, as the enemy's cavalry is about to engage in close range, and if a crossbow or arrow is fired, it is easy to accidentally injure one's army. Leaving this aside, the cavalry is much more difficult or “costly” to cultivate than the infantry, and the enemy will certainly not be so stupid.

Nesta surrendered to Dark Moon, an old friend and opponent of Lombardon, who had been overrun by Nesta's Legion of Shadows in his past martial arts, is now showcasing his newest train to destroy Nesta's cavalry on the real battlefield.

Indeed, shortly afterwards, a large number of cavalry came out of the center and sides of the Shield Front, and when Lombardon, who had made a decision with Nesta, saw the cavalry, he sucked in a breath of cool air, and the Giant Rock Corps and the light infantry in front showed no less alarm.

This is not Nesta's Legion of Shadows!

The black cloak hides the hand in the armor with the reins extended out, not flesh, but bones, and the horses beneath are made up of skeletons, with the exception of a few key areas.

Dead spirit! It's not that kind of grey skull, it's the dead spirit's cavalry!

If it's just a few Horror Knights, but the number of horsemen running out in front of you has exceeded 10,000, led by dozens of Horror Knights riding Ghost Warhorses, full of black armor, with spears in their hands, led the Dead Spirit Cavalry Qi to rush towards the square formation of the Giant Rock Regiment.

When did the Allies ever hear of this massive army of cavalry? How deep is the magic of the dead going to make it happen? Since when does the magic world have such a powerful magician? And still on the side of the dark moon!

In terms of the number of cavalry troops, this undead cavalry must have existed for a long time, otherwise it would not have been possible to gather so many remains. Whether it's a heavy crossbow or a dead cavalry, it never appears in the battles of the Moonlight Fortress or Dico Town!

“Those damn intelligence agents!” Obsidian teeth clenched the rope in his hand, "First United Army, Nightmare Cavalry Regiment, Dragon Cavalry Regiment, attack immediately! Team Digest, prepare to set up a catapult! ”
