Chapter 213: Guarding the Hot Spring Pass

(Congratulations to FPX, and the S9 champion!) οΌ‰

There will be brave men under the reward, and there will be traitors under the reward. At any time, there are people who cannot resist the temptation of profit and become traitors.

β€”β€”Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"

An enemy NPC unit, holding an envoy banner, came to the Spartan Royal Guard at Thermopylae with shields and spears, and began to recite the Persian Empire's new "King of Kings, King of Nations" ultimatum to surrender.

The two countries are at war with each other, which is the standard Eastern term, and the West also has a similar saying of "guest rights". However, wars are often fought to break the rules!

Before the enemy envoy's NPC's ultimatum was read, a Spartan bream spear flew out in the Spartan Royal Guard's shield spear array and pierced the enemy envoy, killing him instantly. The act of killing the enemy envoy in this way shows that you have the confidence of your side in a decisive battle; It also marks the official start of the "first day" battle to protect the hot springs.

Hot Spring Pass is composed of three parts: "East Pass", "Middle Pass" and "West Pass". Due to the terrain of the "Middle Pass" of Hot Springs, only a two-seated chariot can be allowed to pass through the narrowest place, and the Spartan Royal Guard, which is weak in numbers, is stationed at the "Middle Pass", and the enemy can only attack the infantry with infantry!

The Spartan Royal Guard lined up here, using a Spartan phalanx of 4 people in a row of 8 people, and intercepting the enemy army in a way that multiple phalanxes took turns to replace. The player's class can choose any position in the phalanx to replace the members of the Spartan Royal Guard with their own.

If you want to reduce the losses of the members of the Spartan Royal Guard, of course, you must minimize the contact area of the Spartan Royal Guard with the enemy front!

The Prism control swaps the Fairy Dragon with the Spartan Royal Guard on the far left of the first row, and the Fairy Dragon will be protected by the Spartan Shield of the Spartan Royal Guard on the right and gain 20% damage reduction; Replace the Spartan Royal Guard on the far right of the second row with the Seven-Tailed Spirit Fox; Angel of Power replaces the Spartan Royal Guard in the second right position in the third row; Su Xiaoyi and Hu Yong'er replaced the Spartan Royal Guards on the far left of the fourth and fifth rows respectively.

Maybe it's the reason for the absolute superiority of the enemy's numbers.,The magic that the fairy dragon randomly gets is either a meteor fire shower or a beaded fireball.,All the damage magic in the range.,The edges are not saved.,5 spell chances when the enemy starts to attack.,Cast the maximum coverage one after another.。

And the enemy seems to know that long-range attacks are useless against the Spartan Royal Guard! Ranged units such as the Arab longbowmen and Thracian spearmen drew their melee weapons and charged with the melee infantry, with Parthian axes being the first to charge.

In many Western medieval games, there is a setting where the attacker is more likely to destroy the defender's shield with an axe-based weapon. It's just that most of the shields of knights or Vikings in the Middle Ages were wooden shields covered with beast skins, while the Spartan shields were copper outer, leather middle and wood inside, which were heavier than other shields, and had higher requirements for the person who held the shield, and of course, the ability to prevent the shield from breaking was also stronger!

The Spartan Royal Guard was a one-hit killing action that used shields to block enemy weapons and stabbed opponents with spears. The effect of stabbing the vital point in the game is reflected in the lethal special effect.

Parthian axemen often only had one chance to swing the battle axe in their hand, and they would be killed, and some Parthian axe soldiers were even killed in an instant before the battle axe was cut on the Spartan shield!

As for the Arab longbowmen with Arab scimitars and Thracian spearmen who threw spears as melee weapons, they did even less damage to the Spartan royal guards!

This was followed by the arrival of the Persian heavy sword and spearmen, the regular main force of the Persian infantry army, under the cover of the Assyrian shield sticks. The infantry that can be called heavily armoured naturally has heavy armor, and without triggering the lethal effect, it can slash back and forth with the Spartan Royal Guard, and the Spartan Royal Guard in the first row finally accumulated damage and had the first casualty.

Someone in the front row fell, and someone from the back row immediately came to fill the position, and the Spartan phalanx always maintained the formation without breaking.

The fairy dragon did not have the ability to be directly immune to long-range damage like the Spartan Royal Guard, and its HP became less and less, so it had to fly backwards to the end of the Spartan phalanx.

……

Imagawa Yoshimoto of the Sengoku Guild Imagawa no Kuni, handed over the battle videos and battle report information collected by his subordinates to Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had a higher status in the Sengoku Guild branch, Tokugawa no Kuni.

The main forces of the Tokugawa Province, along with Honda Masanobu, analyzed this information.

Tadaji Sakai exclaimed: "Aren't the players' national battles all about the overall combat effectiveness? How can you still play so many tricks?! ”

Honda Masanobu looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and chatted privately: "Ieyasu, this enemy you regard as a thorn in the side has a somewhat perverted ability!" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu wondered, "What do you say?" ”

Honda Masanobu explained: "Regardless of the individual combat ability of the random country, just the layout of defense, attack, ambush, and assault in the national war is perverted enough!" ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu said firmly: "Then we must eliminate this hidden danger before they achieve the great climate!" ”

Honda Masanobu: "Alright! This temptation of Imagawa no Kuni is not a sacrifice in vain. The tactical information collected on the first day of the national war yesterday alone was much more information than the experimental national war between the country of Nizi and the country of the furious war! ”

……

The Persian Heavy Sword and Spearmen were the strongest enemy class in the battle to protect the "first day" of Thermopylaes.

In the mission scene, it is night and enters a short period of rest. After the "first day" of fighting, the Spartan Royal Guard only lost 6 players, and the allied troops that were not killed but had a loss of HP received a 25% HP cap HP recovery.

Then it was the "second day" battle to protect the hot spring pass.

It was still all kinds of infantry to charge the battle, but this time the other side used the most elite Persian undead legion. Because of the participation of the undead legion, the losses of the Spartan royal guard were even more obvious, and even the Spartan king Leonidas, who was at the forefront of the battle line, was killed, but the formation was still not broken. In the evening, the enemy retreated again! Once again, there was a short period of recuperation, and the player class was allowed to roam freely.

Prishi tried to control the Angel of Control to resurrect the Spartan king Leonidas, and it worked!

Knowing the battle of Hot Springs Pass in history or film and television works, the most critical moment in this mission scene is coming soon!

In the original work, the Persian army bribed a local man with a lot of money and learned that the path bypassing the "Middle Pass" of Hot Springs, where the Spartan royal guards were stationed, leads to the "West Pass" of Hot Springs. The Persian army sent an elite army of the undead to break through the defense of the Spartan allies here at night, cutting off the rear route of the Spartan coalition army, and finally causing the Spartan royal guard to be surrounded and thus completely destroyed!

Since the mission scene allows the player's troops to move freely at night on the second day of the Thermopylae, and the Spartan King Leonidas is also alive, it obviously leaves the player with a chance to change the fate of the Spartan Royal Guard!
