Chapter 372 Unstoppable

As soon as he arrived at the front line, Datney became nervous.

 The solemn and murderous pressure brought by the battlefield was everywhere, making him look left and right like a conditioned reflex.

The Ben Cavalry Army advocates offense. Their advantage is long-distance running and charging into battle, either while attacking or on the way to attack. On the march, all soldiers become accustomed to looking around.

Like a bird, keep your sight covering the surrounding environment at all times.

 Datney felt a little heavy.

The frontline prisoner-of-war camp was simpler, with a wooden fence surrounding a hilltop and several animal skin tents set up inside. The seriously injured were recuperated in tents, while the lightly injured or ordinary prisoners rested on the spot.

The cat people's patrols have become particularly frequent. Both men and women wear swords on their waists and carry bows and arrows on their backs. It can be seen from their cross-defense and terrain guarding that they are experienced.

 “Stop looking, come and help.”

 A voice urged.

 Datney responded hurriedly.

The person who called him was Banu who was discovered digging a hole and trying to escape from prison.

 He was missing a left leg, but the Yao people installed a new prosthetic leg for him. The prosthetic leg is made of brass and iron. Its shape is no different from the normal leg shape, except that it will make some noise when walking.

 Banu likes it very much.

 He would slap the leg as if it were a weapon, or he would kick the leg to knock away stones or break small trees.

“If nothing else, the medical methods of the Yao people are really amazing... Although this prosthetic leg cannot feel flesh and blood, it is not bad at all and is more capable of fighting than my original leg.”

Datney was very curious about how the Yao people could install such expensive and sophisticated things on him.

Not long ago, Banu was an escaped prisoner who was held in solitary confinement and closely monitored.

 “I made a deal with them.”

 “Did you betray the Benqi Army?”

“Fuck you! Recruit, please be careful what you say to me! Although I am not a great person, I am a veteran who has experienced three wars. Even if I cannot defeat you, I will not betray my own people!”

Banu glared at him.

Datney felt a little guilty: "What happened before was an accident...I never thought about betraying you."

"Forget it, it's all over. Looking at you as a coward, you don't seem to have the courage."

 Banu patted his copper leg and made a clanging sound.

"This leg was obtained by me teaching them the writing and language of the cavalry army. I also served as a messenger in the military academy for a while... The Yao people are really quick to learn things."

 He spat: "Stop talking nonsense, go and appease those guys first."

The so-called guys are the prisoners of the cavalry army in the prisoner-of-war camp.

 It is not easy to communicate with them.

At first, Datney suffered a series of setbacks. No one paid any attention to him, or he was ridiculed.

Later on, Banu taught him not to talk to them in public, but to pull them out one by one to chat alone. Otherwise, even if the cavalrymen want to submit in their hearts, they will not blatantly obey due to the position of the soldiers.

　　“That’s how it all came about.”

Banu kicked a stone away: "It is always better to have fewer people die. I hope most of them can join us and eventually return to the Benqi Army."

These words surprised Datney.

 The implication is that Banu has determined that the Benqi army will definitely be defeated.

“Isn’t that obvious? Recruit, look where we are?”

 Dartney looked around.

Here is a long and narrow promontory, with flat and direct sea on both sides. The promontory spreads all the way to the place where the Kingdom of God of the Ben Cavalry comes in front.

 “Don’t understand yet? It seems like you haven’t fought in any battles.”

Banu waved a branch and said impatiently: "When the war started, this promontory was quickly occupied by our army. Our army advanced all the way to the hinterland, and now it has lost its position. It means that our army's front line has been pushed back. Understand Already?"

Datney was puzzled: "But that doesn't mean we lose, does it?"

“The Benqi Army is good at charging into formations and attacking. Once forced to be on the defensive, it will be at a complete strategic disadvantage.”

Banu told him: "Think about it, when you fight with an enemy, when do you protect your head with your fists?"

 “It’s not necessarily impossible.”

A cavalry veteran with a bandage on his head joined the discussion: "According to the previous battle situation, we have killed two apostles, which means that there are still two apostles who are capable of fighting. If we can use Lord Nefeli's spell , summoning the python that surrounds the mountain, and then Lord Lumedis leading the main force of the Ash Warriors to break through the defense line, it is possible to turn the tide of the battle."

 “Too difficult.”

Someone else said: "The Yao people are at war with us, but there is actually only one "United Army" on the front line. The main "peacekeeping force" has not moved yet... I was in the second cavalry brigade until I was injured and captured. , more than half of them have been killed in battle, and they will all rely on new recruits for supplies. Many soldiers were lost. "

"Their wooden monsters haven't been fully dispatched yet. There are also assassins like the one who assassinated Falbert. If there are still a few, the safety of the apostles will also be a problem. Maybe only King Ben can show his divine power." Twist...but the enemy also has gods.”

“Perhaps we can consider a surprise attack...but the death rate will be very high and the risk will be high.”

 “What about maritime operations? Are there any chances?”

“It’s too difficult. There are fish-men in the water, and the red-skinned men are very flexible in the water... The uncertainty in the sea is higher, and it may even be an area where the Yao people have set traps.”

 …

 Those who participated in the discussion were all veterans, and the more they talked, the more silent they became.

Seeing them like this, Datney truly realized that the Ben Cavalry Army was indeed in an extremely disadvantageous quagmire. The enemy was like an unstoppable giant beast that had just taken a step forward and ran over head on.

At this time, a distant horn sound sounded in the air.

Datney subconsciously turned his head and saw a huge forelimb stepping on the ground, trampling a bush into the soil. There are columnar lines on the front feet, which are composed of bamboo figures.

Datney is no stranger to this kind of monster.

A large number of bamboo men can combine to form a giant beast. After being traumatized, they can quickly disperse, break into pieces, and flee as a guerrilla, giving the Ben Cavalry Army a headache.

But the bamboo beast in front of him was really too big. It was like a moving meat mountain bull, with a thick and wide back and a strong torso. Every step made the ground shake slightly.

 Just passing by it made Danit tremble with fear.

Following the giant armored bull, another bamboo beast like a many-legged scorpion followed from behind. A super-large monster that had never been seen before walked past the prisoner of war camp and pointed directly at the cavalry troops on the front line.

Datney saw that the faces of the soldiers in the prison camp turned pale.

 “It’s over, it’s all over.”

“Their main force is finally here, those before were not the strongest.”

“You must hold on, Nefeli-sama and Lumedis-sama…”

 “Oh, how the **** do you fight...”

 Dartney raised his eyes and looked ahead.

 Bamboo towers were erected on the backs and shoulders of those giant bamboo beasts, and bamboo birds took off from above. They invaded the Benqi army's territory from the air and occupied the airspace.

There are also an endless stream of sky lanterns at the back. They are suspended in the air and use different glass covers to emit various colors of fire. They have become Yao people’s signal buoys in the sky.

 Then, neatly arranged strange chariots drove out of the woods.

They have animal heads made of copper or iron, and a large amount of white mist is sprayed out from the head. The iron body is tall and solid, and the towering roof is covered with coarse cloth, making it difficult to see what is inside. The iron wheels of the chariot rolled over the leaves and soil on the ground, leaving deep ruts.

This is the first time Datney has seen a chariot that is not driven by a mount or animal.

Accompanying the steel chariot are a group of brown clay warriors. They are tall and calm, looking straight ahead, like a group of emotionless killers.

Datney found the highest position, trying to see clearly what was happening on the distant front line.

Because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely see the bamboo beasts wreaking havoc and trampling on the battlefield. The bamboo birds drove away and killed the military birds in the air. The giant beast cavalry phalanx and the Ash Warrior queue on the ground were crumbling like a tide. …

　　Especially the previous Clay Man Army. After they appeared, they were like hot knives cutting through cold oil. No force could stop them wherever they went. The Ben Cavalry Army who desperately resisted fell like wheat in front of them.

 The chariots finally revealed their true colors and roared like thunder.

 There are tall and gorgeous roses in the car.

 Purple roses will emit fireworks, and each cannon fire accompanied by petals will blow the cavalry in an area into pieces. The blood-streaked roses will spurt out red light, shooting down all the surrounding cavalry soldiers who are unable to evade.

 Datney's body trembled at the sight.

The funeral doctor really did not exaggerate.

 The war was over when the Yao people were ready to end it.

 In the losing front, only one point is still supporting. There is a big gray snake lingering around there. It is still fighting with the powerful Yao tribe and has become the last barrier guarding the Kingdom of God.

It is the apostle Nefeli. She is using magic to block the progress of the Yao tribe. However, the body of the python surrounding the mountain is riddled with holes.

Datney only felt sad and sad.

 Because behind Nefeli, the huge cavalry of the Divine Kingdom was rising rapidly into the clouds.

 The Benqi army fled.

  King Ben abandoned the warriors still fighting here, including his trusted apostle Neferi.

 Datney’s mood was complicated.

 He lost the opportunity to return to his hometown forever and became a homeless vagabond, just like the other stranded people here.

On the other hand, he was relieved that he would not go back and be treated as a deserter.

 Now, he has to learn to live in this new world.
