Dust of History Chapter 70: Flying straight down (medium)
Yuda's 10,000-strong army, including the most elite thousands of heavily armored knights in the coalition army, was wiped out by Oufu's troops in a single encounter. This news had an almost devastating blow to the morale of the coalition forces. All the troops of the coalition forces in the rear immediately stopped advancing. The battle that originally had the absolute upper hand turned into a one-sided massacre. Back to the large coalition army, the news brought back by the side is more of a blow than the battle itself.
The soldiers were still immersed in unbelievable panic. They only vaguely knew about the fiasco. mentioned. All the generals of the coalition army immediately gathered to hold a military meeting, and also invited three military divisions and five great priests from the coalition army to attend.
"Will all the heavy knights be wiped out with just one magic?" The expressions of the priests and priests seemed to be listening to fairy tales.
"Yes, in the range affected by the magic, everyone including the three heads of the Heavy Knights was spared. A total of about 6,000 people were lost, and then Oufu's troops took the opportunity to charge over. The morale of the remaining troops has already collapsed, and only a few dozen people escaped."
"The three commanders of Judas have experienced many battles. Even if they are a little worse than the Templar Knights, they are still much stronger than ordinary Templars. The three of them may even be able to compete with Lord Lancelot. It is absolutely impossible for top fighters like them to be defeated by any magic, so I would like to ask the three magicians, is this the legendary..."
Mages and priests looked at each other, one of the magicians nodded, and said in a dry voice: "It's magic at the forbidden level. It can only cover a large area of six thousand people, and it can only be forbidden." Curse-level magic."
"But... Sedros will never be able to use the forbidden spell."
"Even if he can use it, he won't use it. After all, he is the leader of Oufudi."
"But besides him, is there anyone else in Oufu who can use such advanced magic?"
"Maybe...he used some other means..."
A general interrupted the mages and said: Three masters, can you tell us all the details? What exactly is going on? If the soldiers know that the orcs have mastered the forbidden magic, then the morale may not be under our control. And...if Oufu really has such power, then everything must be reconsidered...maybe, we have to retreat. "
Under the destructive power beyond the limit of the forbidden curse, no matter how elite soldiers are, no matter how strong fighters are, they are no different from ants. The change of the concept of war under the intervention of this kind of force is essential. It is one thing for soldiers to die in a tragic battle, but it is another thing to sacrifice meaninglessly piece by piece like ants under the fire. something happened.
The priests immediately shook their heads and said: "Impossible. It is impossible for Oufu to master this kind of magic. Any forbidden spell must be able to cultivate two or more types of magic to the top level, and then when using it Only when they resonate with each other can they be famous for surpassing the power of flexible magic. Looking at the entire continent, there will never be more than ten magicians who can cultivate both schools of magic to the top level, even including His Majesty the Pope and the Necromancer of Dejagu. There is absolutely no Sedros among these ten people. Although he is also a top-notch great magician, he is only good at magic circles, spellcasting skills and magic of all departments below the middle and high levels, and has not cultivated any department of magic To the highest level, so he can't use the forbidden spell no matter what."
"The most critical factor restricting the forbidden spell is that the magic vibration generated when the forbidden spell is used is unbearable to the human body. The load on the body is also unimaginable. Even if you don’t die after successfully casting a spell, your magical ability will drop significantly. Unless it is a legendary monster such as a dragon or a lich, it is possible to release the forbidden spell without harming yourself. Therefore, a magician who can use the forbidden spell Not without it, but there are very few magicians who are willing to use their own magic power to use the forbidden spell. Therefore, there has been no record of anyone using the forbidden spell in the mainland for decades."
The generals nodded, but they were even more puzzled. A general asked: "But how to explain this situation? This kind of magic that the magician should use desperately appeared in the first contact battle with the orcs. This is really unreasonable ...or a scroll with forbidden spells?"
A great priest thought about it. Said: "It is indeed possible to make scrolls of mantras. It is said that using the top-level magic jade as the core and tempering it with a special magic circle by several magicians can seal the power of the forbidden spell. But... This method seems to be only found in the records of the classics. Two hundred years ago, His Majesty the Pope and the four cardinals made the curse scroll "Purgatory Heaven" combined with the light and fire elements to deal with Negan's troops. But the most The value of top-level magic jade is not lower than the eye of the star that makes the core of the teleportation magic circle, it is also a rare treasure..."
"Oufu should have established a teleportation magic circle. It means that they have star eyes, and they are indeed very close to the Sandefys Mountains... Could it be that they..."
"But even with this kind of material, the production is the real problem. Not to mention the creator's own magic power to be able to cast this forbidden spell, the level of the assistant magicians must also be at the same level. On the current continent, apart from Glorious Castle...the Tower of Fangs might be okay...there is...Diagu."
"Di Yagu?" All the priests and mages gasped reflexively, and immediately a priest asked, "What kind of magic is that?"
A general briefly recounted what the soldiers who had escaped had reported. Although the soldier who fell at the rear of the army didn't see the situation clearly, these descriptions are enough to distinguish magic.
The three mages nodded with extremely ugly faces at the same time, and said, "It's not the destruction magic of the element system, it seems that it is indeed not the masterpiece of the mages of the Tower of Fang..."
Everyone was silent, and this deduction gradually made the possibility of the problem more and more serious. If behind Oufu is the most mysterious and terrifying magician organization in that continent. Then everything has to be re-evaluated.
None of the generals here are the type to be intimidated by skeleton zombie necromantic magic. Generals on the battlefield will only consider what kind of combat power the enemy has and what kind of fighting style they have. But because of this, they will all be more scruples. The scariest horror is the terror of the unknown.
After a while, a general spoke slowly: "We don't care what is behind it. Oufu used such a terrifying power as the forbidden curse at the very beginning of the battle. This can only be done There are two possibilities. One is that they are not only able to use this time, or they may have a more terrifying trump card, so there is no need to put this forbidden spell scroll as the trump card at the end."
A great priest said with a sour voice: "No one wants this possibility. What about the second one?"
"The second is that they can only use this once. The purpose of using it from the beginning is to confuse us. Let us be cautious. This is purely a psychological threat."
"A forbidden spell scroll that could have reversed the situation was just used to confuse us early? Although it is said that it is very hopeful, the possibility of this is really unlikely..."
After another embarrassing silence, a general said: "Then what should we do? Now Erasia's troops have been delayed by Tatalia. The cavalry can be dispatched, but even so, we only have a total of 50,000 troops, and the morale is extremely low now. As long as Oufu really has a trump card that is more powerful than the forbidden curse, our chances of winning are not great."
A great priest took out the teleportation scroll, sighed and said: "Then, before the army of Erasia suppresses Pingtai Tali and returns to the division, please stay still for a while. I will report to His Majesty."
"I only hope that Erasia can drive the barbarians out of the country and drive them back as soon as possible."
Elasia, the important town of Wystead in the northeast.
West is not only an important pass leading to the King City of Erasia, but also a big city integrating commerce and manufacturing. It is lively and full of vitality all year round. Now this city, which was already extremely lively in the past, is now even more lively. But now it is no longer the noise of traffic, but the screams of soldiers, the groans of axes smashing on swords and shields, and the howling of barbarians. Blood everywhere, dead bodies. With limbs and arms broken, everyone jumped, squirmed, and impacted like crazy, trying their best to chop the weapons in their hands into the body in front of them, in exchange for as many screams and blood flying as possible.
On tall buildings. The archers are desperately shooting at the barbarians swarming into the street below, the shield guards and swordsmen stand in a row, desperately resisting the impact of waves, while the halberdiers and pikemen are behind with their long weapons. Assassinate. Westerly was originally the hinterland of Erasia, and there were almost no effective fortifications, and the speed of the barbarians' advance could only be described as overwhelming. The news of the defeat ahead came almost simultaneously with the attack of the barbarians. Needless to say, Erathia's troops were effectively deployed, and they were forced to start street fighting even before the assembly was completed.
Thousands of savages screamed strangely, shouting frantically and rushed forward. Those who rushed to the front didn't care about the rain of arrows from the archers at all, and ignored the swords of the swordsmen, and directly used the inertia of running to bump their bodies against the shields and bodies of the swordsmen. While stabbing himself with the long sword, he also swung the ax in his hand. The ax smashed on the helmet and armor of the swordsman, and some pulled the halberd pierced on himself to pull the soldiers behind him. The armor and bones broke together and the crackling sound mixed with the screams of the soldiers made the other soldiers and swordsmen terrified and at the same time stimulated their fighting spirit even higher. These barbarians howled like crazy, desperately fighting Squeeze forward, rush, slash, and every time they hurt them, they will become stronger offensive power under this beast-like fighting spirit.
Although the priests were chanting prayers and constantly throwing auxiliary spells on the swordsmen to heal their wounds, the line of the swordsmen was still gradually retreating and scattered.
Warriors in the wilderness of the north have always relied on this courage and ferocity to fight against the long swords and armors of the Erathian swordsmen, but now they not only have these, every barbarian has Wearing rattan armor. The defensive power of these armor woven with unknown vines is no less than that of chain mail woven with iron bars, and while covering the whole body, it is not heavy. Whether it is the long swords or arrows of the swordsmen, it is difficult to cause damage to the barbarians. Thorough damage, and the barbarians no longer hold the crude and inferior goods or even flint axes, but now hold the refined steel battle axes in their hands.
'Boom' A fireball shot out from an attic window and exploded in the crowd of savages. Two or three savages who bear the brunt screamed and were blown to pieces, and several savages around were also shaken They staggered to and fro, but those who were knocked down immediately stood up again, and the rattan armor on them was even quite resistant to fire and magic.
This is already the last magician in Erasia's army, and this fireball is also his last shot. Several barbarians howled and climbed up the attic window. The guard soldiers around the magician were abruptly dispersed and the magician was dismantled into several sections. These barbarian warriors who were terrified of magic were no longer afraid of such little tricks as fireballs and ice bombs. The overwhelming victory had helped them completely overcome this psychological barrier.
"Bastard, reinforcements, where are the reinforcements? Aren't the guys from the Kingdom Knights coming? After this place is lost, they can attack the royal city directly." The officer looked at the front line that was close to collapse, and came back alone like crazy. The scouts howled.
"The Knights of the Kingdom must protect the safety of Her Majesty the Queen, and cannot leave the royal city without authorization. But it is said that the troops stationed on the edge of Nigan in the west have already mobilized 10,000 troops and rushed here."
"The border of Nigan? When they arrive, the beasts will have already leveled the royal city." The officer was already hysterical.
Right here, dozens of huge figures appeared in the sky, and several lightning and fireballs fell down, disrupting the attacks of the barbarians.
"It's the Griffon Knight, our reinforcements are here." The soldiers began to shout, and their morale, which was about to collapse, was suddenly lifted. Although the western border is too far away from here. It was difficult for the large reinforcements to arrive, but these super-mobile Griffin Riders seemed to have arrived in time.
The position of Erasia's army has finally stabilized, but the role these Griffin Riders can play cannot turn the tide of the battle. The two griffin riders recklessly swooped down on the barbarian, but immediately became the target of dozens of axes, and the griffin and knight were chopped to pieces almost in mid-air. So all the griffins no longer fly down casually. Only the magic bombardment of the dozen or so battle mages above has lethality to the barbarians below.
However, this kind of attack that cannot fight back has indeed caused a lot of damage to the barbarians, and the greater impact is on morale. For a while, the angry howls of the savages were deafening, and from time to time, an ax was thrown into the sky in a high arc in vain, and then fell again.
The officer, who had breathed a sigh of relief just now, suddenly froze. Just now, his attention was all on the battlefield. It was only now that he felt relaxed and realized that a faint thunder sound was slowly changing from inaudible to clear. But now it was a sunny day at noon, and the sun was shining fiercely and blindingly.
The officer looked up to the direction of the thunder, and he saw a dark cloud slowly approaching here, and the faint thunder came from here. At this time, many people on the battlefield have begun to notice.
Seeing the black cloud, the face of the officer became even blacker than the cloud, and he uttered a sound worse than the howling of a dying barbarian: "It's a dragonfly."
Getting closer ~IndoMTL.com~ was able to see that the black cloud was actually moving very fast, and it wasn't a cloud at all. It is a scene formed by the gathering of tens of thousands of dragon flies. The Griffin Riders who were also in the sky were the first to bear the brunt and directly met the sea of insects.
The Griffin Riders turned around and started to flee, but it was obviously impossible for this huge bird carrying a person to beat these light insects in speed. A dozen or so battle mages bombarded the dragonfly swarm with fireballs. Each fireball caused dozens of hundreds of dragonflies to scorch and fall, and a wall of fire could burn thousands of them to death. But they only had time to cast their spells two or three times. The mass of dark clouds completely enveloped them.
Both the griffin and the knights above are elite and powerful fighters, and they can easily tear apart large, slender insects like dragonflies. But the griffin has only two claws and one beak, and the knight can only wield a sword, and each of them is surrounded by at least a hundred dragonflies, with small but extremely sharp mouthparts. Tear off pieces of meat directly on their bodies.
Even the roar of tens of thousands of dragonflies could not cover up the screams of the griffins and knights. It took only a few breaths for a person to fall from the sky with **** corpses.
As the Griffon Knights continued to fall, the soldiers and formations of Erathia's army finally began to completely collapse.
