Chapter 5-124 Confrontation

Three days later, the coalition battalion. (Vertex Hand Hit)

After three days of rest, the officers and men of the Armand coalition army have returned to their best physical condition.

The preparations for battle have also been made, and the fighters are ready to fight.

At this time, the last meeting before the battle was being held in the large camp.

Facing a room of Armand generals, the commander-in-chief Hibert said coldly: "...... Ladies and gentlemen, the battle plan was drawn up yesterday, and today, please follow the plan......"

"Yes, Lord Shibel," they all replied in unison, and they turned and went out to their own business.

As for mobilization, the Si Ming Church has been doing it for the past few days.

Under their propaganda, the officers and soldiers of the Armand people understood that the Witchblade was their great enemy, and that there was little room for reconciliation with this great enemy. If you don't want to be exterminated and don't want to be slaves in the future, you have to take advantage of the fact that they are not strong enough to destroy them in one go.

For the clergy are not fools, they speak empty words, and in the values of the Witch Blade, they do what they think and do. That's why they became public enemies of the mainland back then, and now the priests of the Church of the Order are nothing more than magnifying and exaggerating their deeds on the basis of literary embellishments, which further highlights the negative image of the witch blade.

The people of Armand are now in an atmosphere of common hatred and enthusiasm.

An hour later.

"Knock knock~~~Knock knock~~~Knock knock~~~"

"Woo woo ~ ~ woo woo ~ ~ ~ woo woo ~ ~ ~ "

War drums roared, trumpets sounded. Immediately smoke and dust rose in the barracks, and all the officers and men began to move.

Holes began to appear in the walls of the city wall, which were originally made of thick rock, and then these holes continued to expand and became circular portals.

This is the Armand people using their talent for manipulating rocks to make dozens of exits in the walls of the defensive line.

"Puff~~~"

With a dull sound of footsteps, from the dozens of exits, there were constantly Amand mermaids rushing out.

Half an hour later, fifteen thousand Armands lined up in twenty phalanxes outside the city walls.

Before they could set out, Hiebel had sent hundreds of scouts to reconnoitre. And each scout team is equipped with a strong force, and their mission is to rid the scouts of the witchblade. And Su Ze also sent most of the Yin Evil to cooperate with them in the investigation.

"......" Su Xue looked around, sensed the message from the Yin Evil again, and nodded at Xibei.

“...... Attention of the ministries to launch the offensive as originally planned" Shibel immediately ordered.

Then, the heralds and standard-bearers around her began to send signals to the various phalanxes. At the same time, she also used the Substitute template to issue the same order to all the clergy.

For ease of command, each Armand phalanx is now staffed by two or three clerics. They will be able to communicate in real time between the various units through the "Agent Template", an extremely convenient liaison tool.

As for traditional means of communication, such as flags, they are actually just to boost morale. After all, the vast majority of officers and soldiers do not have such a thing as a "substitute template", and they are also accustomed to communicating in the form of flags.

With Shibel's order, the twenty phalanxes began to split into two lines and march towards the intended goal.

Shortly after they left, more than 8,000 Armands poured out of the dozens of exits. These officers and soldiers also quickly formed ten phalanxes. Half an hour later, they also marched behind the vanguard.

This batch is in reserve.

........................................................................

Imojin City.

This city is the capital of the Witchblades, their only city, and their largest settlement.

Imojin City is a nearly circular city, with a diameter of about four kilometers, and is inhabited by about 50,000 Witchblades, which is equivalent to the total population of Witchblades.

The city has a total of three walls, with the outermost layer being the strongest. The height is close to fifteen meters, and the thickness is close to 20 meters. All the walls are made of the strongest granite, which is reinforced with iron bars and steel bars. The Witchblade didn't have the rock-manipulation skills of the Armands, a city they'd been building for hundreds of years.

Of course, these hundreds of years of hard work have not been in vain, and such a strong fortification is not easy to fight in that era.

If you look at the people of the earth, the architectural style of Imojin City is very strange. Most of their buildings are made up of various circles and ovals, and then some spikes stick out of them. If viewed from above, these buildings look like giant, spiky worms or eggs, or the sea.

At this time, the atmosphere in the city was very tense, and almost all the witchblades came out of their homes, and they took up their weapons, put on their battle armor, and gathered in several squares in the city to hold a mobilization meeting.

For them, it was no secret that the armies of the Armands had arrived this time. Don't forget, they have a god. With the perception of the gods, how could such a big movement be hidden? Even if this "Montgora" was a false god.

Of course, the Armand people could not have come for an outing with an army of this size. The Witchblades were not fools, and they understood that the other party did not have good intentions, so they immediately began to prepare for war.

Since the past few days, the Witchblades have evacuated all the inhabitants of the villages and towns outside into the city. Because those small strongholds are difficult to defend, and the fecundity of the Witchblades is low, their lives are very valuable.

The meeting of the Witchblade is almost silent, as this creature that is adept at using psychic power is accustomed to using telepathy when communicating with its companions. Although they can speak, they prefer to use telepathy to communicate.

At this point, a great idea came.

In the mind of every witchblade, a majestic voice sounded.

"My children, go and fight, and don't let these Armands go when they're here. Turn them all into your slaves, their strongest, and I'll deal with them......"

The Witchblades immediately knelt down towards the largest building in the center.

"Praise be to my lord ~~~ Your glory will surely shine on the earth," they then began to pray.

Immediately after the prayers, they quietly divided into several groups and drove out of the city, marching towards the predetermined battlefield.

This operation is not a secret to both sides, so there are no tactics such as sneak attacks and detours, it is a decisive battle in the open.

....................................................................................

This vast thought lingered over the city for a while, and then flew northwest. He is the god of the sorcerers, "Montgora."

At this time, in the northwest, an aura familiar to him was erupting. In Montgola's perception, this breath formed a puff of wolf smoke, which stood very conspicuously in the northwest sky.

"Su Ze, are you here to die again? This time, you are not as lucky as the last time...... "Montgola said coldly.

And the Witchblade army below has also passed through the outermost moat. On a plain beyond the moat, they were to meet the forces of the Amands.

At the outermost periphery of the city walls, there are two moats. In order to strengthen the defense, the witch blades also raised a kind of helper in the first moat - "sword stabbing salamander".

It is a ferocious omnivorous amphibian, their body is just over a meter long, but that mouth is a third of it, and the mouth is full of sharp teeth, and the jaw is extremely well developed and has an amazing bite force.

With just one bite, they can bite through a steel plate several millimeters thick, and the armor commonly used by humans is like paper paste in front of them, barely getting up about anything. Moreover, they also have strong toxins in their teeth, and if they are bitten, even if they can escape from their mouths, they will die from poisoning.

Of course, this animal is very dangerous and eats a lot. So in normal times, the witchblades use their mind control to put these guys into hibernation, and they are only fed once every few months.

In the last war, when they were at a disadvantage, the Witchblades woke up these "sword stabbing salamanders" and prepared to resist Su Ze's attack. However, Su Ze was beaten up by their god "Montgola" and driven back. So, these "sword-piercing salamanders" did not come in handy.

However, because of the tense situation, they did not let these "sword stinging salamanders" go into hibernation. Now, it is estimated that it will come in handy again.

.....................................................................

The Witchblades waited silently.

At this moment, suddenly in the northwest sky, there was a huge explosion sound, and bursts of magic aura, like the glow of summer, enveloped half of the sky of the cave.

"Boom Boom~~~"

The leader of the Witchblade immediately sent out a thought to all his subordinates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my lord fighting against the strong...... Don't worry, although that strong man is very powerful, it is only for us, he was defeated by our lord last time and was almost killed. This time my lord won't let him go......"

Su Xue is a person, he knows, if it weren't for Meng Gela's unfamiliarity with his Dao technique last time, I'm afraid even his bones would have turned into scum. Therefore, he had great faith in his gods.

"Boom Boom~~~"

The explosion kept coming, and the witchblades were a little distracted.

At this moment, another thought came from the leader of the Witchblade.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... A large army of the Armands arrived...... Ready for battle"

The Witchblades hurriedly concentrated, and they soon felt a tremor on the ground.

It was the footsteps of a large marching army.

In less than ten minutes, they saw the banner of the Amands. Then there was the dense, heavily armed Armand troops.

At the front, there are hundreds of structures.

The structures shimmered with metallic sheen and walked towards them with a murderous aura.
