Alien Knights

Chapter 729: Blood and iron (4)

The Knight Order originally undertook the task of containment and harassment behind enemy lines, but because of the sudden appearance of the enhanced alien necromancer, it fell into an unexpected bitter battle.

   More and more undead spirits gathered together and began to attack the knights whose speed was gradually slowing down.

   In order to increase the distance from the enemy, the Knights had to change their course and avoided the enemy's pursuit.

   Standing in the watchtower, Cumberland, who is always paying attention to the battlefield, frowned, and said to the adjutant next to him: "Let the Valkyrie bring the bait and try to divide the enemy's formation."

   A moment later, the three Valkyries riding griffins set out from behind the city wall, and under the mounts were special bait made of blood and minced meat.

   The necromantic birds and bats that originally hovered over Twilight City, when they discovered the Valkyrie, they all turned their attention and began to fly towards the battlefield.

   The Valkyrie commanded the mount to fly over the necromantic army.

   Smelling the flesh and blood of the dead is like seeing a carrion fly.

   Many undead spirits left their original team and started chasing the Valkyrie in the sky, running farther and farther.

   But this situation did not last for a long time. It was like an invisible hand that suddenly blocked the dead spirits who had left the corpse and pulled them back.

   There was a Valkyrie who was not reconciled, and commanded the Griffin to lower the height, trying to get the bait close to the group of corpses to increase the lure effect.

   However, several bone-spurs dead souls aimed at the griffon in the sky, and shot the opponent down within a few rounds.

   Looking at the Valkyrie who fell into the group of corpses, they disappeared in an instant. Cumberland quickly ordered: "Let them come back!"

Looking at the group of corpses that were getting closer and closer to the center, Cumberland touched his chin, and for the first time an anxious look appeared on his face: "There are hundreds of thousands of necromantic forces, someone can actually achieve such precise remote control. ,is it possible?"

   The adjutant approached Cumberland and whispered: "My lord, the second batch of the thunder beast has just been loaded."

   Cumberland: "Order the Knights to retreat from the battle, strengthen the defense in the center, reduce the power of the thunder coil gun, change it to projectile, and leave the position after the launch is completed."

   More than ten seconds later, a huge explosion once again set off from the center of the battlefield.

   Countless undead spirits were torn to pieces in the flames and explosions, and the stumps and pieces of meat flying around, some even fell on the far west city wall.

   Waiting for the smoke to dissipate slowly, Cumberland raised the telescope again and looked at the battlefield.

   As the distance between the corpses is shortened and the formation is denser, the effect of the second explosion is much better than that of the first explosion.

   But even so, roughly visually, the remaining number of the necromantic army still exceeds 200,000.

   The adjutant looked at the group of corpses that were slowly gathering and marching towards our army, and subconsciously said: "My lord, there are still a lot of them."

Cumberland firmly grasped the railing with both hands, first looked back at Twilight, then turned his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Order all the alliances in the Central Front, and be prepared for the impact! Especially the heavy infantry shields of the Holy Order. The wall, I must withstand the first wave of necromantic shock!"

The adjutant glanced at the battlefield, and whispered to Cumberland: "My lord, there are only more than 900 heavy infantrymen in the Holy Cadet Army. Even if the shield wall is fully deployed, it is impossible to defend against all the attack angles of the undead. And, medium Most of the soldiers in the formation are garrisons from Holy Acropolis and Silver Ring. They..."

   The adjutant’s voice became smaller and smaller because he saw the anger in Cumberland’s eyes.

   Cumberland suppressed his voice, and said in a low voice: "Are you trying to say retreat?"

   The adjutant shrank his head and said nothing.

Cumberland raised his voice: "This is only the first giant group of corpses we have encountered, and there will be a second and a third... May have the courage to face these dead spirits!"

   After a pause, looking at the adjutant, Cumberland closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, and slowed down his tone: "Do you know, what is our biggest disadvantage compared to the undead?"

   Adjutant: "...number of people?"

   Cumberland: "No... our biggest disadvantage is our emotions."

"Any creature with intelligence has all kinds of emotions, fear, despair, withdrawal, madness... When the pressure of the outside world crushes their will, these emotions will be like maggots in a jar, running everywhere. ."

"Look at the front. After two such bombardments, if you change to any army, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the determination and consciousness to continue attacking... There are only dead souls, only these have no souls, only knowing Only flesh and blood monsters can still attack even when they have suffered such severe damage."

   "So, the biggest problem in this battle is not how to preserve strength and kill the enemy... but how to keep our army determined to continue fighting."

   Cumberland looked at the battlefield, and the tide of necromantic army was charging towards the shield wall of the Holy Cleric Army.

Cumberland: "If we retreat here, then negative emotions will spread like a plague in the army. The best way to fight back fear is to face it, so we must stand here. UU看书www. uukanshu.com"

Taking a deep breath, Cumberland straightened his back and ordered the adjutant again: "The Crusade’s heavy infantry stabilizes the shield wall, and the wing of the center line adopts a fan-shaped defensive formation. The wing of the Knights forms a frontal charge formation. , Ready to penetrate the enemy's rear sideways."

  Waiting for the adjutant to give all these orders, Cumberland hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let the reserve team that the Knights stay behind to prepare."

   The lieutenant was taken aback, looked at Cumberland and asked, "Make the reserve team ready?"

   Cumberland looked at the necromantic birds and necromancer bats that had just arrived over the battlefield, and whispered: "If the situation is unfavorable, let the reserve team carry the spores into the battlefield."

   The adjutant suddenly understood the deep meaning of Cumberland's words.

   opened his mouth, the adjutant wanted to persuade a few words, but found that under such circumstances, any persuasion seemed pale and weak, so he nodded slightly and stopped talking.

   Cumberland stared at the necromantic army that was constantly approaching on the battlefield, and the knuckles of his hands looked pale as paper due to excessive force.

   Finally, with a loud noise, the group of corpses ran into the shield formation of the Holy Cleric Army.

   The shield array that was originally arranged in a straight line was slightly bent inward after undergoing a huge impact, and then quickly bounced back, blocking the first wave of dead spirits that rushed back abruptly.

The    Knights also completed the front arrow charge formation at this time, relying on the speed of the alien war horse and the sharpness of the keel armor to launch a charge towards the rear of the corpse group.

   The entire battlefield suddenly entered a white-hot state of engagement.
