"Damn, what kind of monster is that?" In the forest, a human soldier of the Divine Light Empire leaned against the big tree and gasped for breath, his pale face was matched with cold sweat all over his body, and the three shocking scars on his waist made it very difficult for this Divine Light Empire soldier to even breathe fresh air, but the fear in his heart was stronger than the physical pain.

Like other human soldiers of the Holy Light Empire, because they all belong to the light auxiliary forces of the Holy Light Empire, although they are accompanied by half-body plate armor made by dwarven craftsmen, as well as melee weapons such as maces, one-handed swords, shields, etc., but because their own team is full of five big and three thick dwarven furnace warriors, these human warriors were basically not put into the frontline battlefield in the previous battles, but did some logistics work, at most when the dwarf warriors launched a frontal attack, Rely on the ability to maneuver faster than the hoplites, and stay in the rear of the Dwarven Legion with some javelins for auxiliary attacks.

But this time, nearly 20,000 Holy Light soldiers, including all the Dwarven warriors who followed the attack on Stanner Castle, became the main force, ambushing in the forest about 8 miles outside Stanner Castle, relying on the advantage of walking through the terrain and woods to form a large pocket formation ready to ambush the sunset mountain battle troops who came to ambush the coming.

Although in terms of numbers, the strength of the Holy Light Empire is not even less than half of the mountain warfare troops, but as long as the heavy armored troops really want to defeat the mountain warfare troops, it is not impossible, even in the mountainous area, which is suitable for mountain warfare troops, and these mountain warfare troops are mainly harassing troops with long-range troops, it is just a matter of using a tool.

The so-called mountain warfare troops. Roughly speaking, it refers to the troops that are mainly lightly armed, have a good movement speed, and are suitable for fighting in complex terrain in the field, which means that most of the armor equipped by these people is leather armor, and as we all know, the most famous armor in the empire is not the full-body plate armor. It is inlaid leather armor whose defensive power is several times stronger than ordinary leather armor, but even so, these leather armor with steel plates wrapped inside still cannot get out of the range of leather armor, and it cannot change the "brittle" weakness of mountain warfare troops.

And the second landing point is the weak aggressiveness of the mountain warfare troops: of course, this does not refer to the low lethality of the mountain warfare troops, but the longbow troops that never set on the road are well-known battlefield slaughter teams, and the rain of armor-piercing arrows and arrows like a downpour can shoot a heavy infantry phalanx into a heavy assault and death squad in a very short time.

The so-called weak. In fact, it refers to the inability of mountain troops to engage in regular frontal combat with regular troops: fighting in mountain warfare does not rely on strong charging power and heavy armor and the like, because in complex terrain there is no need to say charge. It is difficult to develop a perfect phalanx, and the heavy plate armor in mountain warfare will not only not strengthen the charging and defense of the soldiers, but will drag down the soldiers, so even the combat phalanx of mountain warfare troops is different from the regular phalanx. Even if the sun never sets, the longbow has a good performance on the regular battlefield. In mountain warfare, the principle of mountain warfare must also be observed, and the formation must be switched to a more scattered, scattered around the centurion as a unit, forming an irregular circular, conical or rectangular straggler formation, and the rest of the troops in the sun never set basically agree to this, which means that although the current sunset formation is large and numerous, as long as it is charged head-on by those troops who use regular battle formations, it will be scattered in an instant.

It was precisely because of this that the Holy Light Empire's side had a reason to ambush the Sunset Mountain Warfare Force, in their opinion, although the dwarven warriors could not complete the ambush of the Sunset Mountain Warfare Force due to their short legs and slow movement speed, the human heavy armor regiment in their own hands could do it. As long as it is well hidden, it is very likely that the mountain combat troops will be dispersed in an instant, and the sun will not set, so that they will fall into chaos. As for the occurrence of an emergency, the Divine Light Empire's side was not unexpected, so the colleagues who invested nearly 20,000 human warriors also asked nearly 2,000 dwarves to come here with catapults, ballistas and other things that were no longer useful on the frontline battlefield, and even some human self-made animal oil, which was used to ignite some flammable points that had been set so that the soldiers who arrived would never return.

However, they still failed, just like the human soldier who fled from the battlefield and hid in front of him, as many as 20,000 human warriors and dwarf warriors who were ambushed in the forest were discovered by a terrifying army of the sun that never sets, and this huge army of the sun never set was as if they had already known that all these people were ambushed in the forest, and rushed to the enemy in a very short time with a very small speed of death and strange movement speed, and crushed all the enemies that appeared in front of them, Even the machines were reduced to dregs under the claws of terror.

"Hiss......" As the fleeing Divine Light Empire soldier leaned against the tree and gasped, a chill suddenly swept over the soldier's body, and his ears heard the call of death—a figure resembling a snake creature spitting letters.

"What, ah! Let go of my monster, let go! Before the soldier could react, a giant snake figure covered with scales instantly hung on the soldier's body with the assistance of the tree shadow, and the rock-colored snake tail with a length of at least 2 meters tied the soldier's hands and feet together and began to shrink, and the sound of clicking and clicking indicated that the poor soldier's hand bones, foot bones and even ribs were slowly being squeezed into pieces.

And at the top of the snake's tail, above the neck of the human soldier, a huge humanoid figure is staring at its prey with cold snake pupils, although its abdomen does not have strong scales, but the three sharp and strong hooks on the thick arms provide this monster with terrifying combat power at the same time, but also give it a weapon to protect its chest.

This is the snake demon living in the depths of the terrifying deep forest, the Sun Never Sets Empire is one of the few humanoids who formed a racial legion after joining the Imperial Army after submitting to the Sun Never Setting Empire, and these snake demons are the same as the bear monster warriors who were turned into monsters by dwarves on Stanner Fort before, they all already have a legion-level troop establishment, but the bear monster clan is only 1 and a half legions due to ethnic personality reasons and other factors, even after the new surrender to the Sun Never Setting Empire, there are only 1 and a half legions, But in front of them, after accepting the ruling class of the sunset, these snake demons contributed no less than 3 sunset legions with full strength.

And these snake people are the reinforcements that the previous dwarf supreme commander Copperbeard said about the sunset, but maybe Copperbeard may not know the way until now, although he guessed correctly that the sunset side would send reinforcements to assist the Sunset army to encircle and suppress the dwarven troops in his hands, but he didn't expect that this support army did not come to the front line of the battle, but came from the rear of the Sunset Empire, and also caught up with the movement speed of the Sunset Mountain War Force.

And this is also destined to the poor light dwarf patriarch will die in battle like the dwarven warriors and human warriors in his hands. (To be continued......)
