Chapter 588: Fighting in the Nireya Mountains (Middle) Asking for Subscription
"Whew! Finally get through the Niria Mountains! But these snake people are really tough! Early in the morning, looking at the back of the army camp where the sun never sets, the entire mountain range was covered with black smoke, Leo, who was at the gate of the camp and watching, breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I really didn't expect that the snake tribe has actually taken such deep roots in the depths of the Niraya Mountain Range, and it is estimated that even the emperors of the Water Qilin Empire do not know what to do, and the Nirya Mountain Range, which is one of the 'Seagod Arms' of the empire and a natural barrier against the invasion of other forces, has actually become the back garden of the snake tribe." ”
At this time, Leo once again remembered the dangers of the previous Sun Never Setting Army for 2 weeks. Although the matter is now over, after thinking about this matter, it still makes Leo himself shudder, because if it weren't for Leo leading the main army of the sun to set, he accidentally killed into the depths of the snake man's lair, it is estimated that the more than 100,000 soldiers who came to the Niria Mountains would all be killed, not like now, although they were scattered by the snake army before, but now after regrouping, they can still have as many as 80,000 soldiers.
The battle itself, called the Battle of Nirya, was not what Leo wanted to fight, because when Leo led the army to reach the Niriya Mountains, the troops of the snake tribe did not appear here, and after weighing the pros and cons, Leo did not rush forward, but decided to find an area in the Niriya Mountains that could supply troops to station, and then wait for the soldiers of the Second Sky Cavalry Regiment sent by Sun Linmian to investigate all the surrounding situations before deciding on the next step.
But what Leo didn't expect was that the Snake People tribe troops, who had not been seen at all, suddenly surrounded the entire camp of the Sunset Army on the morning of the third day when the Sunset Army was stationed in the Nirya Mountains, if it weren't for the fact that the warriors of the Snake People tribe would only use hand-to-hand combat and would not use long-range weapons. Coupled with the fact that the snake people are cold-blooded creatures and have a natural aversion to fire (not fear, of course) and do not use fire attacks, it is estimated that the army of the sun never sets is now more than just surrounded.
"How is this possible! How could our army be completely surrounded by the Serpent forces overnight? Leo was furious at the sudden appearance of nearly 100,000 snake warriors around the Sunset camp, but in the end he didn't blame any of the griffon knights, because his instincts told him that something was wrong.
Therefore, after the griffin knights reported the surrounding situation, Leo ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare for defensive battles based on the camp, and said to these griffon knights: "Expand the scope of your previous search again, and notify me immediately if there is anything abnormal." "The reason for this decision was that his intuition told Leo that these snake people definitely didn't just appear out of thin air. It couldn't have come from the other side of the Nirea Mountains.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the griffin knights to report a very strange phenomenon to Leo: it is known that when a creature walks on the ground, it will leave some traces, such as footprints, and Xiang Snake Man, an intelligent creature that needs to twist its lower body to move forward. The traces they left behind were more obvious, but after a carpet search, the griffin knights found them. The sun never sets, although there are traces left by the snake warriors when they move forward. But there is no one in the distance, which means that the snake warriors seem to have only wandered around here after they appeared, and there are many traces of snake people traveling to indicate that the direction from which these traces come from are the caves scattered in the surrounding mountains.
With these clues in hand, Leo soon found the answer to why the snake man appeared out of thin air around the Sunset camp: the snake warrior had arrived through a tunnel through the mountains. At the same time, Leo instantly let out a cold sweat and shouted at the heralds around him: "Heralds, quickly dispatch all the troops closest to the cave. Tell them to seal off all the entrances to the cave! Just go! It's too late! ”
The main reason for this is also related to the location of the camp where the sun never sets: if you want to find a place to camp, you have to consider many questions, such as whether the area has a good and natural defensive terrain, whether it is downwind, etc., and the most important point is that there must be a water source near the camp to supply the army.
Obviously, it is almost impossible to find a mountain spring or a stream in the mountains of the Niria Mountains, which have almost no vegetation on the surface, and the only water source that can be found is the groundwater from the underground caves inside the mountains, if this groundwater is a pool of stagnant water, it is okay to say, but the problem is that Leo had personally examined the underground river that was discovered by the sunset scouts when he was stationed in the camp before, and it turned out that the river was alive and flowing, That means it's likely that the river will be joined by the caves where the snake warriors appeared.
Sure enough, just as the soldiers of Sunset had just received the information that a group of members of the Sunset Pope's Guard, who had put on their armor, were heading towards the entrance of the cave leading to the underground river, one by one huge, drenched bodies rushed out of the cave, killing the inside of the Sunset army, and at the same time, the snake warriors located outside also noticed that there was a riot in the Sunset camp, and immediately launched a fierce attack on the camp.
"Hiss........." These burly snake warriors who swooped out of the cave were like a sharp dagger, straight into the heart of the army on which the sun never sets, although the Papal Guard is famous for its extremely strong defense ability and the King Continent, but for a race similar to human body, how could a monster like a snake warrior and Naga warrior, who is as strong as a tank, be resisted by those fragile shields in the hands of humans?
"Quick, quick, release the arrow!" In the shouts of the officers who never set, a large number of members of the Sunset Longbow Guard and a small number of Sunset crossbowmen immediately began to tilt the rain of arrows towards the snake people who rushed up, and even the members of the Longbow Guard also started the regional suppression mode at the first time.
But then, something happened that shocked all the members of the Longbow Guard: everyone knew that the Longbow Guards were not stronger than the Sunset Crossbowmen in terms of lethality, and the range of the Longbow was not far from the Mo Forging Crossbow, but the main reason why the Longbow could become the mainstream of the long-range troops of the Sun Never Set Army was because the longbow's shooting speed not only exploded the Mo Forging Crossbow, but also was fast enough to display the strategic skill of "regional suppression". And "regional suppression" has also become a necessary magic weapon for the long-range troops that never set to break the deadlock and crisis, but just today, the invincible "regional suppression" skill has failed, because although the snake warriors are under the pouring of arrows and rain that the sun never sets, they are not suppressed in place, let alone retreat, but continue to rush towards the fragile wooden wall of the sunset camp like those crazy orc warriors, and the only difference between them and the orcs who have entered a state of madness is that there is no trace of fanaticism in the eyes of these snake people, Some are just cold.
In fact, the sun never sets, and people don't know the way, and the fundamental reason for the impact of the snake warriors who are not afraid of "regional suppression" is actually because the snake warriors are cold-blooded creatures: although cold-blooded creatures do not mean that there are no so-called emotions, but cold-blooded animals can judge things in the most calm way, just like now, although the snake warriors feel fear from this rain of arrows, what they feel more is that they are after breaking through the fragile wooden wall in front of them, The humans let out heart-rending screams in front of them, and apparently, the snake warriors preferred to experience the latter's feelings.
"Damn! It's not going to go on like this. Looking at the snake warriors who rushed out of the cave and gradually squeezed the sunset circular military formation into a ring, as well as the snake warriors outside the camp wall who had begun to tear down the wooden wall with their bare hands, Leo's brows immediately furrowed.
"It seems that this camp can't be saved, and it is estimated that even if the snake warriors are repelled here, this is not a camp where our army can continue to be stationed in peace and security." After thinking for a while, Leo immediately called the herald: "Herald, convey my order!" Let the English foot knights evacuate the outer defenses, and drive all these snake warriors back for me! Gather all the Greek Pyros in the army at the same time! ”
With Leo's order, groups of English foot knights wearing full-body plate armor and wielding two-handed armor-piercing hammers marched towards the cave, and immediately joined the battle to resist the snake warriors squeezing the sunset army formation from the inside of the cave.
Although the snakeskin armor grown on the snake warrior's body is extremely strong and can resist the cutting of many sharp weapons, it is a headache for armor-piercing weapons, which is also the reason why the snake warriors covet the Nirya Mountain Range but have not invaded it before this, because in the army of the Water Qilin Empire, the master of the Niriya Mountain Range, its main force is the Watt War Hammer Soldier with an armor-piercing weapon - a two-handed sledgehammer, and fighting with these soldiers is completely equivalent to fighting them naked.
Therefore, before the sun could set, all the Greek Pyos in the army were assembled, and the English foot knights who came to support killed one snake warrior after another, recaptured the land that these snake warriors had fought hard from the inside of the cave, and drove them all back to the cave.
