Chapter 542 543 Pass

General Sapphilar is sitting in his command post, because he has not been on the front line for a long time. Fighting directly against the enemy, as a Great Archmage, he is now slightly fatter.

Although he can still wear his previous armor, everyone can see that this armor is no longer suitable for him.

Staring at the battle map in front of him, General Sapphilar was accustomed to the gift from Alanhill. This map was drawn by Alanhill, and it marked all the terrain precisely, almost exactly.

This is very terrifying, and in the past magical age, having such a detailed map was simply unimaginable. All commanders can only send scouts frequently to obtain information about the terrain around them.

Summarizing this information in one's own mind, and then commanding troops to use these terrains to fight, is a skill that a high-level commander must learn.

But now, this skill doesn't seem to be so important, because a huge map is placed in front of everyone's eyes, and it can be clearly arranged how it needs to be arranged, and there is no need to compare it. right.

"The demons have put a lot of demon dogs on the front, and our 1st Army Group is stuck in place... If we can't get to the Vorland Pass, then our line of defense is in danger." One The general's tone was low, pointing to an important defense node marked on the map, and said to the gloomy Sapphilar.

The general, who has always had no affection for Alanhill, is now in a very heavy heart. Because of the demon's counterattack, many of his previous decisions have made serious mistakes.

As an opposition within the Grecken, Sapphilar has always been somewhat wary of Alanhill. In his opinion, the fact that other people's troops are stationed on Greken's territory is an annoying thing.

So he tried his best to squeeze out Alanhill's 9th Army Group on the Grecon front line, and pushed this unit to the second line to rest.

Because the demon army at that time had been defeated, and the main force of demons advancing east had also been annihilated by nuclear bombs, Greken was filled with joy of victory, and there were many people who supported General Sapphilar. up.

Everyone thinks that the unsightly Alanhill 9th Army should be placed in the second-line Defensive Array first, and then find a reason to send this god that is difficult to invite and difficult to send away in a few days, so as to restore the quality. Rickon's complete sovereignty.

So, in order to take care of the overall situation, General Alfred, who temporarily commanded the 9th Army Group, took over the command of Princess Cape Luna and ordered the troops to retreat and stationed at the front line of Alan for rest.

And the Greken opponents, who had achieved their goal, began to think of a way to make the 9th Army roll into the Eternal Empire to be stationed...

As a result, this proposal was rejected by Greeken. Ken's Lonsa Delai Fasheng vetoed it, so today's 9th Army Group is still stationed in Aran, and it can also ensure the safety of the northern line of Greiken.

It's just that now, the demons on the safe northern front have not attacked. On the contrary, the demons have concentrated their superior forces and pinched the central group of Greken, that is, Archmage and Dragon Knight, a soft group composed of giant horse cavalry. Persimmon!

Volan Pass, guarded by Magic Legion, is an important Defensive Array land. If the pass is broken by the demonic forces, either attacking Aran northwards and hitting the flanks of the 9th Army Group, or detouring southwards and attacking the flanks of the 1st Greken Army Group, will gain a huge operational advantage.

"Order the 1st Legion to go up for reinforcements! Be sure to thwart the demon's attack!" Sapphilar finally made his own judgment and pressed the most elite troops in his hand to ease the front line combat pressure.

The 1st Legion is the magician main force of Greiken, and their battle strength is still very strong. This unit has Dragon Knight and a large number of magicians, and has been the absolute main force of the Grecken army until the formation of the Alanhill standard army.

Even now, Grecon has the 1st and 2nd Alanhill armies, and the 1st Legion is still the main force, receiving the first level of logistical supplies and salary.

......

Worland Pass, the tall city wall has long since collapsed, and the collapsed rubble is scattered on both sides of the city wall, making these originally solid fortifications look like It's like a mound.

The fortifications here were destroyed during the last demonic invasion. After being recaptured from the demonic forces, although they have been repaired, they have not been restored to their original level.

Only a part of the originally tall city wall is now left, and the rest is a parapet temporarily built with stone bars and sandbags.

Behind these fortifications stood the traditional infantry of the Grecken, armed with huge shields and long spears of magical flames, facing the sea of demons, unceasingly. of fighting.

"The soldiers in the first row retreat! Replenish the magic energy fluid! Warriors in the second row come forward! Raise the shield!" A commander held the long sword in his hand, pointed forward, and loudly ordered himself The soldiers in front take turns.

Above the crowded phalanx, the thick magic defense barrier blocked some flying Fireball magic. In the gap of the shield wall up ahead, a long spear was stabbed in turn, and it would rush to the front. The demon soldiers stabbed their guts to pieces.

Occasionally, soldiers fall down with arrows. These black bows and arrows, which are quenched with poison configured by demons, will occasionally pierce the gaps in the armor. Soldiers replace.

Further afield, giant demon troops are trying to break through the Greken soldiers who have no protection from the city wall, and these Greken soldiers are facing enemies three times their size. At the time, he was still very tenacious.

Countless magic attacks these giant warriors of the demon army. One after another Fireball or lightning strikes the target, making these house-sized giant beasts wailing.

A giant dragon ripped apart a struggling demon bat, and then spewed huge dragon flames at the demon army beneath its feet.

Under the control of the Dragon Knight, it swiftly swept through the phalanx of the demonic forces, and as it swooped, the surging dragon flames also engulfed all the demons in a straight line.

"Ah!" The armor of the demon ignited by the dragon flames melted, and the flesh and blood inside the armor instantly turned black. These demons screamed and struggled in the flames. In just a few seconds, they were scorched into coke and shattered in the flames.

Just as the giant dragon slaughtered the demon army, the demon army kept compressing the human defense line.

Above the huge city wall, a demon climbed to the top of the city, and before he could wield his weapon, he was pushed down by the long spear attacking from the front.

He screamed and fell down together with the ladder under his feet, smashing into the demon's phalanx, causing another scream.

After the soldiers on the city wall overturned the cloud ladder, they immediately took two steps back. The archers behind them continued to move forward and tightened their bowstrings against the densely packed demons under the city.

"Release!" Commander Greken, wearing a visor, shouted loudly behind the crenel. With his shouting, all the archers on the city head loosened their bow-stringing palms almost at the same time.

"Boom!" There was a vibration of bowstrings, and a row of bows and arrows swooped into the square formed by the demon troops.

Those demons also had shields, but many more had no defenses. They were only wearing armor, but that armor couldn't stop the enchanted bows and arrows fired by the Grecken soldiers.

So, at the moment when these bows and arrows slammed into the crowd, a large area of the demon army fell. However, the follow-up demons immediately filled the position of their companions, and behind them another full-sized demon phalanx was constantly crowding forward.

"Where's the reinforcements? Have the reinforcements arrived yet?" The officer standing at the head of the city, looking at the tiredness of his subordinates, shouted at another officer in the distance.

The officer was helping a soldier who was hit by a demon bow and arrow to stop the bleeding. He turned around covered in blood and replied loudly: "The message for reinforcements was sent out an hour ago!"

Just as he turned back and shouted, a Dragon Knight in the distance was directly hit by Fireball Technique and fell behind the phalanx of the demon army.

The place where he fell was surrounded by demons, and just a few seconds later, the Dragon Knight who insisted on fighting until the last moment was submerged in the vast crowd of demonic forces.

"Fireball Technique!" On the low parapet, after the human troops launched a row of magical attacks, the demon troops stepped on the corpse of their burning companion and rushed up again. Then the human magician hits a new row of Fireball Techniques, pushing back the demons near the parapet.

The two sides were tugging back and forth like this, and the troops on the human side that ran out of ammunition and food began to increase little by little.

"Let the giant horse cavalry charge back! No matter how slow it is, it will be too late." The leading officer loudly shouted hysterically.

"But...they rush in, they may not come back!" An officer chopped down the demon in front of him and replied with a whimper.

"This is an order! For Grecon!" The leading officer insisted on his order regardless.

"Yes! Sir!" The officer who heard the order took two steps back, looked at the soldiers on the ground who were fighting bloody battles, and gritted his teeth: "Let the giant horse cavalry charge back! Immediately! Immediately!"

A short while later, a heavy-armored cavalry appeared on the battlefield. They waved their spears and faced the sea-like demon army, clamping their horses' stomachs.

"Jia! Drive!" These Knights put on their visors, shouted loudly, flattened their long spears, and moved slowly towards the black ocean.

"Long live Greken!" At the moment when they ran quickly, all the cavalrymen shouted together, shaking the sky.
