Chapter 1078: The Battle Outside Acherus
Renault's Scarlet Crusaders were indeed quite numerous, and they were also extremely brave when fighting with the undead, and in the face of enemies dozens of times their own, none of them showed a look of fear, and these Scarlet Crusaders who had been brainwashed by religion had no other thoughts in their minds than to kill the undead natural disaster.
The undead are not afraid of death, and the warriors of the Scarlet Crusaders are not afraid either, and the fierce scene between two armies that do not know what fear and death is, is far beyond the imagination of outsiders.
It's just that although the Scarlet Crusaders are brave, the Knights of the Black Edge are not soft persimmons to be kneaded, and it is impossible for Renault and his Scarlet Crusaders to capture Archerus alone.
Riding on the war horse, Renault calmly issued one command after another, under his orders, the team of the Scarlet Crusaders continued to make adjustments, blocking the undead from all directions out of a certain range, looking at Renault's command, it was really a bit of a general's demeanor.
Because of what Renault has done, he doesn't have a high opinion of the Scarlet Crusader Grand Commander, but Leo has to admit that this guy is very good at commanding the army in battle.
It's a pity that Renault was dazed by love and was used by the Dreadlord to kill the Ash Lord, otherwise his fame and prestige might not be worse than Varian's.
Consider that before Renault made his mistake, he had commanded the Scarlet Crusaders at the forefront of the fight against the Scourge Legion, and while he was defeating one undead army after another, Scarlett was still being trained as a probationary paladin in the Cathedral of Light, and many of the other young human beings were playing with mud.
It can be said that if Renault had not made an unforgivable mistake, he would have no problem becoming one of the leading figures of the younger generation of mankind.
Looking at Renault, Leo secretly shook his head, the former obviously had an infinitely bright future, but because of a momentary dizziness, the Dreaddemon King took advantage of the loophole and made the wrong thing that made the relatives and enemies happy, and then because of the fear of the East Window incident and the remorse in his heart, he made himself a dead house, staying in the blood-colored cultivator, and the door was not out of the door, so that his prestige was greatly reduced, he was really a model of hatred for eternity.
I don't know if Renault, the runaway young man, will be able to climb ashore on his own, and if he can, I don't mind helping him.
Leo didn't care about the current situation, and his attention was focused on Renault.
To be honest, Renaud is a talent, since he was a child, he has been with the Ash Lord Mograini, received the most rigorous training, enjoyed the Ash Lord's words and deeds, and put aside the unknown personal strength, the ability to command the army alone is the top existence in the entire alliance, such a person does make Leo worthy of him.
No race would think they had too many talents—except fools, of course. In this war-torn world, a good commander, an outstanding commander, is a strength that cannot be ignored for a kingdom or even a race, and Renault has enough value for Leo to keep him.
The Silver and White Crusaders founded by Scarlett, the older generation has the great lord Tirio. Fordin, the younger generation does not have a strong leader, although Marlan, Tyran, Demithia and others are good, but because of their similar strength, they are not enough to subdue others to take the lead, only Renault, and only Renault, have enough ability.
The big lord of the Silver and White Crusaders is Scarlett, which is true, but both Leo and Scarlett understand that Scarlett can't always focus on the Silver and White Crusaders, and as the queen of Arasu, she needs to pay more attention to the rising Arasu.
In this way, the Silver and White Crusaders need someone who will lead affairs in Scarlett's absence, this person is now Fortin, but Fording is the older generation after all, and cannot rely on the older generation for everything, and the younger generation of the human race must also take the stage and play their role.
Why did you go to the Scarlet Monastery with Scarlett, when he was really free?
He needs to take a closer look at Renault as a person, to see if Renault is capable enough, and to see if Renault is ambitious and difficult to control.
As it stands, Renault has made a good impression on Leo - both capable and glaringly flawed to his advantage.
has the ability and can be used for himself, if Leo doesn't want to keep him, what is the difference between Leo and a fool.
Fighting, desperate fighting; Fighting, fighting for the dead, the battlefield is like this, either you die, or I die, in the face of the enemy, there is nothing to show mercy, only by killing them themselves can they survive.
The Scarlet Crusaders were crazy enough that they didn't think about whether they would survive or not, and all they had in their minds was the thought of killing all the undead, and in their selfless fighting, squad after team of Scourge soldiers turned into piles of broken bones and rotten flesh underground.
Leo estimates that within an hour of fighting, the Scourge had killed six figures of soldiers by the Scarlet Crusaders.
Six figures, that's 100,000, in the era of cold weapons on the earth, the two armies face each other for more than an hour, even if the time is multiplied by ten times, it is impossible to kill such a person, but that is only the earth, in this world with magic and combat skills, war is far more cruel than the earth.
Kill a thousand enemies, self-damage eight hundred, this sentence works most of the time, but it is not the case here, kill more than six figures of undead natural disasters, the Scarlet Crusaders only lost hundreds of soldiers, such a result is of course the Scarlet Crusaders are good enough, Renault's command is in place, but more of the reason is from the opponent of the Scarlet Crusaders - the Scourge.
Commanding the troops to kill a large number of enemies at a very small cost, Renault did not have the slightest smug look on his face, and his mind did not relax at all, he knew very well that the results achieved so far were nothing at all.
The Scourgeon Legion lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of cannon fodder, don't look at the number of enemies killed by the Scarlet Crusader as many as six, but the damage to the Knights of the Black Blade is just a drizzle, except for the killed Bone Griffin Knights will make the Knights of the Black Blade feel some pain, the other undead They don't care at all, because these undead are just low-level undead such as skeleton zombies, and their positioning in the Scourge Legion is consumables.
Exchanging 100,000 cannon fodder troops for the physical and magical consumption of the Scarlet Crusaders was completely worth it for the Knights of the Black Blade, not to mention leaving behind the surnames of hundreds of Scarlet Crusaders.
If you really want to calculate it, Renault has lost a lot of money on this deal.
To fight against the Scourge Legion, you have to be mentally prepared to face the Sea of the Undead, especially in the Eastern and Western Plague Regions, which Leo knows, Scarlett knows, Whitemane knows, and Renault knows.
The abominable undead scourge, these skeletons and zombies are all humans who used to live in the plague land, the dead should be at peace, these undead who should be purified by the Holy Light use evil spells to make them puppets, such evil forces should be destroyed.
The Knights of the Black Blade used cannon fodder troops to constantly drain their own magic and stamina, making the Scarlet Crusaders grit their teeth with hatred, and ordinary soldiers could show their anger, but Renault couldn't. He is a commander, and he must be calm and calm, and he must not be hot-headed when directing a battle, and no matter what he thinks in his heart, he cannot show it on his face.
Leo had been secretly observing Renault and constantly comparing him to the others of Amaron and others, and it was this comparison that made him more and more satisfied with Renault's abilities.
When commanding the army to fight, her keen sense of the battlefield allows her to seize the fleeting opportunity, but if the opponent has no chance to take advantage of it, Amaron's command is a bit mediocre.
Of course, this mediocrity is relative.
Renault is not, even if he doesn't have a chance, he can create opportunities through the movement of troops, which Amaron can't do now, it's not that Amaron's talent is not good enough, but her lack of experience, some things have nothing to do with talent, experience is also an indispensable factor.
When it comes to the battles he has experienced, and when it comes to the number of battles he has commanded his troops, Renault is far from being able to compare with Amalen, plus he also has a bad old man, the Ash Lord Mograini, which is beyond the reach of the self-taught Amaron in a short period of time.
"I don't know how many cannon fodder troops the Knights of the Black Blade still have, it's not a way to go on like this." The stalemate in the battle is not what Renault wants to see, the Scourge Legion has enough cannon fodder to fight him, and his men are one less dead, and the only thing that awaits the Scarlet Crusaders is defeat if they do not change the current situation, "Duane, don't pay attention to those white-boned griffins in the sky." ”
Renault gave a new order to the mage Duane, who did not hesitate to lead the mages to adjust their objectives, and aimed the spells defending against the Bone Griffin Knight at the Scourge troops on the ground.
The addition of his own mage greatly reduced the pressure on the Scarlet warriors led by Herold, and the mage deserved to be called a humanoid turret, and as soon as Duane and his men joined, all kinds of magic were unleashed with a beautiful and deadly light, and the casualties of the ground troops of the Scourge Corps skyrocketed.
It's just that, without the firepower network arranged by the mage troops, how will the white-boned griffin knight troops linger in the sky deal with it?
Finding that the fire blockade of the Scarlet Crusaders against him had been greatly weakened, the Bone Griffin Knight saw an opportunity, and hundreds of impatient knights urged the Sitted Skeletal Griffin to swoop down, vowing to give the Scarlet Crusaders on the ground a little bit of power.
Without the fire net built by the mage, the priest and the hunter alone were not enough to stop the Bone Griffin Knight, and after losing about forty of their companions, the Swooping Bone Griffin Knights managed to rush over, they were only ten meters away from the Scarlet Crusaders on the ground.
Ten meters seemed like a lot, and it didn't take a second to step over it for the white-boned griffons who were diving at high speed, but the blood-colored crusaders on the ground didn't scratch in the slightest, even though the strong wind that the white-boned griffons brought out when they swooped down had already hung above their heads.
Seeing that they were about to attack their target, the Death Knight on the back of the Bone Griffin flickered with soul fire in their hollow eyes, and they were about to make these hateful humans pay the price in blood.
Scarlett was ready to join the battle with the hilt of her sword in hand, but Leo didn't react.
At that moment, Whiteman's lips lifted slightly, and the Bone Griffin and the Death Knight on their backs were confused.
