Chapter 242 - The Charge That Would Determine the Battle Outcome

Chapter 242: The Charge That Would Determine the Battle Outcome

The Imps, who were in greater numbers, flapped their wings and leaped up.

Their dwarf-like bodies were like agile springboks. They began to glide with the help of the wings on their backs. Their hands gripped tightly onto the short iron pitchforks. When they were about to come into contact with Kant’s troops, they actually burst out with extremely fast speed.

They ran at high speed. When they were about to approach the enemy’s formation, they would jump and glide, using inertia to charge at the enemy’s troops.

This was the tactic that the imps were used to!

If the ordinary human troops, such as the enlisted peasant and armed militia, did not have enough training and had low morale, it was estimated that the imps would not be able to hold on for long as they glided and charged like flying. Their morale would plummet due to the continuous casualties on their side, in the end, they would flee until the entire line line line collapsed under the impact.

Such a tactic was similar to cavalry charging, but it was also similar to the long lance soldiers standing side by side. The aim was to eliminate the enemy line and cause chaos to the entire army.

One had to know that the long horned demons at the rear were the main force of the battle. The strength of their two arms was enough to tear apart the human body!

They were caught in close combat and chaotic battle.

The human troops were never the ones who had the advantage.

It was the demons who had extremely strong physical attributes, high combat strength, cruel and violent personalities, and were almost crazy!

Although the long-horned demons were inferior demons, their physical attributes were very high.

It was enough to be compared to the Jackalan.

It was not the low-level Jackalan who lacked food and clothing and drank raw meat and blood, but the high-level Jackalan who lived on the Mannheim coast and had sufficient food and nutrition. They had undergone strict military training!

In terms of physique and figure, the long-horned demon was not at a disadvantage!

“Prepare for battle!”

Bandake pulled out the Teutonic sword behind his back, his expression grim.

As the imp and the demonized creature rapidly approached, Rhodoks’s sniper crossbowmen, the Ravenston Rangers, and the Ravenston Patrollers all began to retreat to the sides.

At the same time, 40 Rhodoks sergeants had brought 200 Rhodoks proficient spear-wielders in front of them.

240 people formed a phalanx of spears.

Rhodoks’s proficient spear-wielding soldiers bowed slightly. In front of the three rows were dense and sharpened spearheads. The three-meter-long spear was raised diagonally, just in time to aim at the approaching imp who was flapping its wings and gliding towards them at high speed.

“For Lord Kant!”

The uniform movements of the spears instantly thrust out.

Countless sharp spears stabbed out at an extremely fast speed in a small area.

“Ga ga ga...”

The Imp at the front let out a sorrowful cry. The cunning and cruelty in its eyes turned into fear and uneasiness along with the rapidly approaching spear. It flapped its wings and wanted to fly to the side, but the three rows of spears in front of it were like chopping boards, giving them nowhere to run!

Even the demonized creatures that were running parallel to each other and roaring as they pounced over, similarly received the three rows of spear heads that were raised horizontally and diagonally. In a very small area, there was nowhere to run and they could only receive the stab of the spear.

“Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff –”

The tip of the spear pierced deeply into the Imps’ body.

The thick and long spear did not allow the gliding imps to appear in front of them at all. Relying on the inertia of the gliding imps, as well as the force of the sudden thrust, they were instantly pierced into meat skewers.

“Ga ga ga...”

Unpleasant howls continued to be heard.

The vitality of these imps was tenacious. Many of them struggled and flapped their wings even though their chests and abdomens were pierced, twisting their bodies back and forth on the raised spear, hoping to pull themselves off the spear.

However, the final result was that a large amount of dark red blood splattered all over the stone floor beneath their feet, dyeing it with fluorescent moss that could be seen everywhere. It was blood-red and very terrifying!

“Prepare close-range weapons!”

Bandake’s orders continued to appear. His voice was clear and calm.

“Understood!” Rhodoks’s infantrymen, who had yet to suffer any casualties, responded. They immediately gave up on the spear that had already pierced through countless imps and demonized creatures. With a flip of their hands, they placed the wide shield and wide shield on their backs on their left arms. At the same time, their right hands had already pulled out their spiked warhammers and held them tightly. They coldly looked at the long-horned demons that were crowding over and shouted, “Kill!”

They did not raise their weapons high and take a step forward. Instead, their left arm moved forward, allowing the wide shield and wide shield that were made of wood and leather nails to stand in front of them like a small door.

They placed their shoulders behind the door and arranged themselves into the shape of a city wall. They gritted their teeth and let out angry roars. As the long-horned demons crashed heavily into them, they used all their strength to push forward.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang –”

Muffled sounds reverberated, and the long-horned demons rammed fiercely.

Rhodoks soldiers were in the middle, and on both sides were Rhodoks’s skilled spear-wielders. They could use broad shields and broad shields to form a seemingly indestructible shield wall, but under the frenzied ramming of the long-horned demons.., it was still as if he had been charged by the Swadian heavy calvary, and they were forced to retreat in an instant.

The entire defensive shield wall was in disarray, and at the front row, Rhodoks’s most refined broad shield even had a few cracks and dents. His left arm was trembling, and he was temporarily powerless.

The long-horned demon’s charge was simply too strong!

Rhodoks soldiers and the proficient spear-wielder had looks of shock on their faces. Only by coming into contact with it did they truly understand the power of the demon.

Ordinary humans were truly unable to resist it.

Just by looking at the current close combat situation, their hearts had fallen into an abyss!

The long-horned demon’s close combat was simply too strong. Its metallic lustrous arms waved like two of the heaviest heavy hammers, whizzing down. If they were unable to dodge in time or did not use their shields to block it, even the Rhodoks’s face was flushed red as he was sent flying to the side, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

It was even mixed with fresh blood, and it looked like he was going to die!

Blunt force was not something that could only stun people in the game. In reality, it was a powerful attack that was comparable to stabbing and slashing. Once a heavy weapon was used to blunt force, the powerful force would be transmitted to the weak body, and it was enough to shatter the internal organs.

The two sets of heavy mail armor on the soldier, plus the light leather armor and linen coat, were still unable to block the long horned demon’s blunt force!

Not to mention those skilled spear-wielding soldiers who only wore mail armor and leather coats.

The long-horned demons were cheering.

In just a short moment, nearly 30 human infantrymen were smashed to the ground, and even more infantrymen were injured in varying degrees.

The imps and demonized creatures had already charged in.

Relying on the might of the long-horned demons, Kant’s entire infantrymen formation was in a mess.Rhodoks’s infantrymen, who were already at a disadvantage in numbers, even began to become unstable with the attacks of the demon troops.

The battle situation was extremely dangerous.

“Wooo –”

The dull sound of a horn suddenly sounded behind them.

With some length, the sound of the horn entered the ears of the many Rhodoks infantry soldiers.

Kant blew the [ commanding power ] !

Mysterious system rules instantly spread out, directly appearing in the bodies of the many infantry soldiers, stabilizing their morale and at the same time rousing their emotions.

Their Hearts were beating rapidly, and Rhodoks’s infantrymen, who had been knocked into a mess, and who had been forced to raise their shields in vain, and who had been forced to retreat by the long-horned demons with their claws, actually steadied their steps, bending forward to hold on, with their high morale, they maintained the crumbling line!

“For victory, for Lord Kant, Let’s fight with blood!”

Bandake took the opportunity to shout.

“Let’s fight with blood!”

Rhodoks’s infantrymen responded at the same time. They roared and withstood the onslaught. Like giant hammers, they pulled out their own Warhammer at the same time and fiercely hammered at their waists.

Warhammer was the evolution of the pickaxe. It was the most popular close-range weapon used by the Kingdom of Rhodoks and the Kingdom of Swadia.

It was small and easy to carry.

It moved quickly, and the tip of the crane’s beak had the ability to pierce through armor.

Now, as the Rhodoks infantrymen continued to wave at the chest and abdomen of the long-horned demon with the dark red tough skin, the sharp crane’s beak immediately pierced through the tough skin and tore with all its might, the sharpened and sharp blade directly cut through the skin from the inside out. It pulled down fiercely, directly cutting out terrifying wounds.

Dark red blood immediately spilled out, mixed with intestines and other internal organs that flowed out. They were immediately crushed by other demons or Rhodoks’s infantrymen. The stench of blood filled the ground, reflecting the increasingly tragic scene of the battlefield.

“Sharp Golden Blade!”

The mage apprentices raised their magic staffs from behind. After a few incantations, they quickly cast spells that they knew.

Status spells were especially important for the infantrymen who were engaged in melee combat.

A faint golden light appeared on the spiked Warhammer and pickaxe, allowing Rhodoks’s infantrymen to wield their weapons and Pierce through the tough skin of the long-horned demons more easily.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh –”

The continuous rain of arrows continued to appear.

Luo duoke’s sniper crossbowmen who had already spread out to the two wings, as well as the Rangers and rangers from Riverston, began to cover the battlefield with continuous rain of arrows. They aimed at the demon troops that were still charging at Luo duoke’s infantrymen and were entangled in the melee combat, the unbridled pouring of arrows and the use of super long-range attacks forcefully interrupted the long-horned demons that were still trying to continue charging.

The siege crossbows, coupled with steel crossbows, could easily pierce through the long-horned demons’skulls. After all, the distance between the two sides was less than 50 meters, and it was even easier to pierce through their skin.

The heavy bows of the Rangers and Patrollers of Raventon were the same.

When paired with Awl Arrows, they were like semi-automatic rifles. With a slight aim, one arrow after another was shot out.

The damage to the long-horned demons and imps was even more than the damage caused by the Rhodoks infantrymen. In particular, the left and right sides formed a crossfire. One could clearly see that the demons that were being entangled by the Rhodoks infantrymen were shot from the sides and behind, the neck and the back of the head were the main targets of the archery masters!

After the sound of the [ commanding power ] , which stabilized the soldiers’ formation, the demons’ offensive suddenly weakened. After being caught in close combat between the infantry formations, the demons’ wild and violent fighting talent could no longer be used.

Although Kant’s troops were still at a disadvantage, and there were still Rhodoks’s infantrymen falling everywhere.

But now, it seemed to be enough.

Rhodoks’s square formation, which was used as a chopping board, firmly trapped the demon army. Next, it meant that the Swadian heavy calvary, who had the sharpest kitchen knives, were about to launch the final attack that could affect the battle situation.

Among Kant’s battle sequences, the strongest were, of course, his heavy cavalry troops!
