Chapter 1048: The Battle of the Three Armies
When the sea of insects all over the mountains and fields is constantly wriggling towards you, what kind of feeling is it, no one who has experienced it can not understand it at all. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
They're not locusts, they're not rats, they're bloody and brutal Angela war bugs.
In all fairness, a random Angela war bug pulled out of the sea of thousands of insects can easily kill a small group of militia or city guards and other local forces. In addition to the gap in combat power, the most terrifying thing about Angela War Bug is its hideous and terrifying appearance and its killing nature that is not afraid of death.
Of course, it is impossible for an ordinary sword armed with a local weapon to cut through the hard carapace of the insect's body, which is hardened with metal components. Therefore, if you really let the Angela war insects kill wantonly, three or five war insects can easily slaughter a human town without a strong warrior.
But fortunately, the Angela Zerg invaded the Elven Continent, so their cruelty and violence were all silently endured by the Elves. As a direct result of this, an elven kingdom that ruled an entire continent disappeared and could only be left to another continent to survive.
However, today, for a reason not to be hyped up, the Iron Legion of the Mage Guild, the religious armed forces of the Human Church, and the elite undead of the Great Cemetery have once again come to the Elven Continent and stand in front of the overwhelming sea of worms. They became islands standing in the middle of the sea of black pressure insects, gritting their teeth and resisting the onslaught of insect swarms from all directions.
It's really in all directions!
Standing in the middle of the sea of insects, the ground is surging, the sky is flying, the ground is tumbling, and almost everywhere is the hideous and terrifying figure of Angela Zerg.
The Zerg generals were besieged, so they couldn't wait to get through this fragile and tough line of defense in order to rescue the superior of the Zerg.
For the sake of this idea, they don't even care about their own lives!
After more than two months of brave fighting, the Angela Bug Army has been sharply reduced from more than 70 million at the beginning to 12 million now. Although the number is much worse than at its peak, when the 12 million insect army is piled up on less than 10 square kilometers of land, the density of the insect swarm still reaches a staggering level.
Here, the battlefield does not matter at all about the front and rear, and the distinction between friend and foe is not as clear as in past wars.
After the main ground forces of the three camps killed the insect swarm and came to the vicinity of the core battlefield, they chose to defend on the spot and share part of the pressure on the main battlefield behind them. And the main battlefield where the slaughter is bloody cannot completely prohibit the penetration of the insect swarm.
Therefore, it is like a sparse fence, outside the fence is a sea of insects surging forward under black pressure, and insects can be seen everywhere inside the fence. The only difference is probably the density of the swarm.
The outside of the fence is impermeable, and the inside of the fence is a little sparse.
The main ground forces of the three major camps fought bloody battles and fought to the death under such heavy pressure.
The Iron Legion of the Mage camp could barely see the shiny metal reflections anymore. They were the first ground forces to go to war, so they fought the longest and undoubtedly suffered the greatest casualties.
From the original mage camp to the current garrison position, the short 7-mile road was almost paved all the way with the body of the Iron Golem. Every once in a while, mages protected by the Iron Legion open a makeshift portal to send an additional batch of metal puppets from distant mage guilds.
It was only by constantly replenishing-depleting-replenishing-depleting that the mage troops barely managed to hold on to the scene and were not overwhelmed by the swarm of insects that went forward one after another. But even so, the 2 hours of fighting since the start of the battle have caused the Iron Legion of the mage army to lose as much as 30,000. And when the remnant elven army defended the elven holy city before, it only took 5 days to lose 10,000 puppet troops.
From the comparison of these simple numbers, we can already imagine the fierceness and cruelty of the battle at this moment.
However, although the losses of the mage camp are huge, after all, the losses are all steel puppets used as cannon fodder on the battlefield, which is far stronger than the church team with human warriors as the main force.
After 1 hour of high-intensity battlefield fighting, even if the aura of magic on his body still did not fade, the heavily armed swordsmen and crossbowmen who were the main body of the battle could no longer hold on. After all, people's energy and physical strength are limited, and 1 hour of continuous slashing and advancing has already made them tired.
And no matter how many insects they killed, they filled the entire horizon, and there was still a sea of black and oppressive insects as far as the end could see. In this environment, it is easy to have a sense of frustration that no matter how much the insects are killed, they can't be killed, and morale drops very quickly.
As the body's function decreased, the attack power of the heavily armed swordsman also began to slide rapidly. His hands were so sore that he could barely lift his heavy sword, let alone slash through the iconic black carapace of the Angela War Worm.
As a result, the previous sword was like a forest, and the layers of devastating and decaying advance became slower and slower. As soon as many heavily armed swordsmen slowed their hands and feet, they were dragged into the dense sea of insects by the swarming war insects, and the sound of chirping and gnawing was terrifying.
As a last resort, the Knights of the Church, which had always been used as a killer weapon, could only go to the battlefield in advance.
The knights of the Church rode on the mighty and handsome high-headed horses, and in their hands they were either two-handed swords or meteor hammers, all of which were specially prepared for the swarm of insects. Combined with the Divine Fighting Qi, their attacks were almost invincible.
However, the overly dense swarm made it difficult for them to exert the staggering battlefield impact of the heavy cavalry, so they could only desperately drive their horses and make a scarlet path full of blood and stumps in the swarm.
They are slaughtering the war bugs, and the war bugs are slaughtering them.
The two sides are mixed up, you have me, I have you, and each has come up with the most brutal means of war, allowing death to befall each other.
Not to mention these melee professionals, even the clergy that followed closely behind them raised their maces, scepters, and flails to play the role of heavy infantry.
They relied on their defensive chain mail and constant self-healing to fend off the war insects that had scurried into the inner circle, and then smashed their heads one by one with the heavy individual weapons in their hands.
The bishops and archbishops who were protected by the priests in the center were still in high spirits, singing praises to the gods one by one, and purifying the evil around them with large magical auras.
It is precisely because of the existence of these magicians that the thin but tough defense line on the periphery has always been brittle and unbreakable, and it has been able to sustain itself in such a violent sea of insects to this day.
However, unlike the desperate support of the other two camps, the cemetery elite legion organized by the Grand Cemetery not only resisted the attack of the swarm, but even had the spare strength to organize counterattacks again and again, focusing on annihilating the most threatening mid-to-high-level bugs in the swarm.
And the biggest contributor to all this is the legendary ice dragon Terrance and the winter ghost, the combination of heaven and earth.
At the forefront of the cemetery's defenses, the sky was dominated by the Frost Dragon, and anyone who stepped within a hundred meters of them would endure the danger of freezing at any moment. It is precisely because of their existence that when the sea of insects attacked the position of the cemetery, they all turned into puppeteers covered in blue frost flowers, and their movements were ridiculously stiff and slow.
And while they slowed down, a series of death clouds from the necrocs of the cemetery slammed into the swarm. This caused a ring of frost and a sea of dead air to appear at the front of the Necropolis position. Only by working hard to break through these two lines of defense can the swarm of insects at close range contact with the front-line troops of the cemetery.
And what awaits them behind the Sea of Death are armies of Abomination and Plague Lords lined up in an R* Great Wall. The giants who stood tall in the sky and the earth, shaking their bloated and fat bodies, waving their thick arms, welcomed their arrival with shiny iron hooks and guillotines.
These R Shield Legions, which have grown up step by step with the Great Necropolis, even at this moment, are still an insurmountable Great Wall of R* bodies in front of the enemies of the Great Necropolis.
And the Winter Ghost and the Hell Messenger, who had just advanced to the Legends, had become a great killer in the charge.
Seriously, the Winter Ghost resembles a skeleton wrapped in ice crystals, with a fang-like crown condensed from the purest positive and negative energy on its smooth skull. As the greatest legendary undead creation, the Winter Ghost's body is always surrounded by the frozen breath of death, which represents death and evil.
And the most terrifying thing about the Winter Ghost is this kind of death freeze that can destroy all life and the elusive teleportation technique. Other undead spellcasters still need to hold spells when casting spells, but Winter Ghost doesn't need to, as these are already solidified into its instincts.
It also has a pitiful number of gifted spells, with only a handful to choose from. Ice Pick, Weather Control, Any Gate, Spell Immunity (Fireball), Ice Storm, Ice Wall...... It doesn't sound like much, but when combined with its undead origin, it's surprisingly powerful.
And its power is also amazingly powerful, it has reached a level that is enough to compete with the dragon, so the Winter Ghost is definitely the one that outsiders are most unwilling to face among all the legendary undead creatures.
As for the Hellbringers, this is the first Legendary Hellfire to be successfully fused in the Necropolis to date.
It's not particularly tall, only 5 meters. This is indeed not very outstanding in the elite of the cemetery, where there are more and more top-level creatures. But the signature Sacrificial Aura (Legendary) and Flaming Fist are still impressive.
To tell the truth, looking at a stone man more than 5 meters tall and covered in green flames rushing left and right in the insect swarm, everywhere he went, all the insects would involuntarily raise their heads and scream. Not to mention how poignant that scene was!
The sacrificial fire directly burns the soul, ignoring physical defenses at all, and only the super high magic resistance can reduce some of the damage, but it can't reduce the pain of the soul being burned!
