Chapter 1229: Battle of Fansidian
Chapter 1229: Battle of Fansidian
The arrival of the Human Coalition Army was a timely help for the Blue Glory Capital.
These 300,000 people were the former coalition army, led by Sandro, the first general of the Blue Glory Empire. After Sandro heard that the Blue Glory Capital was in danger, he sped up the march and finally arrived at Fansidian at the most critical moment.
The main force of the former army was of course humans. Due to the rapid march, most of them were lightly armed. Among the reinforcements, Landbis met his most familiar ally, Princess Royal Philly of the elf tribe.
Philly brought 2 elf legions, magic rifle and magic archer. As for the elf magician legion, they were assigned in the follow-up reinforcements. The destruction of the Silver Moon Celestial Capital, the elf empress, and the fall of the elf prophet brought great grief to the elves, so this time they also had the determination for revenge.
However, not all elves participated in this dangerous battle. The elf sword guard legion stayed in the Golden Estate to protect the elf’s Little Princess Michelle. This was also to leave a bloodline for the elf just in case.
The new prophet Kilanya was by Michelle’s side. It was not that Kilanya was cowardice, but that she had received the inheritance of the elf prophet, which needed to be further comprehended and digested. At the same time, as the guider of the new generation of the elf tribe, she was related to the safety of the entire elf tribe and must not be easily involved in danger. The orcs also stayed in the Golden Estate. The strange thing was that the orcs had a kind of awe for the new elf prophet Kilanya. They obeyed her without prejudice.
This time, a team of elf magicians from the magician city Jaqda also joined the defense army at the Blue Glory Capital. The Magician Tower Group also dispatched 2 elite human magician legions. As far as the magician was concerned, their combat power was considered to be second to none.
A magician legion was not a certain number of magicians, but well-trained battlefield magicians. These magicians could use a special magic array or other methods to link all the magic power and spirit power together to release the same magic. The power of the magic far exceeded the superposition of ordinary people.
In addition to the elf tribe, the army of the hobbit tribe also came together.
In the early years, after the merge of the 3 major groups of the hobbit, forests, hills, and caves, the Thick Soil Castle in the Black Rock Mountain in the Yang Shao Empire became the new base of the hobbit. Therefore, the hobbits who had relocated were not implicated when the Silver Moon Celestial Capital was destroyed this time. The army frontline was the large shield warriors legion led by the Hobbit King Ovge himself this time.
The dragons did not send any reinforcements this time. After the brief ‘decisive battle’ in the Golden Estate, the dragons who participated in the battle seemed to have received an order from Dragon Emperor Pagris. They immediately left the Golden Estate to return to the Dragon Valley.
The latest intel showed that after destroying the Thorn Fortress, the Abyss army had begun to move toward the capital. It was expected to reach Fansidian’s eastern suburb within 5 hours.
Landbis made a firm decision to let the reinforcements, that rushed here, rest and eat to recover their physical strength. She provided a large number of high-quality equipment from the arsenal to the reinforcements. At the same time, she quickly held a strategic meeting of high level generals. The participants included Sandro, Altos, Philly and others.
On the tall city wall, all the soldiers were waiting in battle. All kinds of magic protection inside and outside the city were also fully activated because the most severe test was about to come.
The air was full of strange silence. Especially after learning that those kingdoms and cities had been exterminated, the atmosphere became even more depressing.
At this time, the sound of galloping from afar could be faintly heard as the ground trembled slightly. Obviously, the army of the Abyss monsters was approaching.
The soldiers clenched their weapons tightly. There was resoluteness, determination, tension, and fear in their gaze— No matter how well-trained they were, they were real people after all.
People would be afraid, but at some point, they also had emotions and powers beyond fear.
The commander of the East Gate was Sandro, a representative of the Blue Glory Empire’s young army, known as the number 1 general.
When Sandro felt the tension of the soldiers, he did not use long speeches to boost morale. Instead, he just took the spear from his confidant beside him and tapped it on the ground.
Unhurriedly.
This tap was particularly clear. Gradually, more and more sounds joined this rhythm. Even those elves who had always been proud and calm were infected by the atmosphere and started tapping along with the beat.
The sound of the percussion became more and more orderly and vigorous, while the momentum became greater and greater. The original depression was swept away and turned into excitement. Everyone was gathering into a torrent as if they were invincible.
“Fight! Fight! Fight!” The soldiers roared loudly.
Elf Princess Royal Philly and the Hobbit King Ovge couldn’t help but give Sandro an admiring look: He is worthy of being a famous human general. With this simple method, the originally depressed morale is boosted into a state of excitement.
“All army, get ready to fight!” Sandro put down his spear and raised his long sword, and the sound of weapon tapping stopped suddenly.
At this time, the tremors on the ground became more and more clear, but at this moment the fighting spirit of the soldiers had already been burned. The previous tension and fear had long since disappeared.
In the palace, Landbis sat alone on the throne in the main hall, holding a glass of wine in her hand.
The soldiers shouted in the distance. She said to herself as she watched the slight tremor of the wine, “It has started.”
In the east of the city, a red sea appeared in the vision of the defending soldiers. Even the clouds in the sky seemed to be dyed blood red.
The Abyss army was finally here!
Following Sandro’s order, the catapults and magic crystal cannons were launched simultaneously, both of which were long-range conventional weapons. Due to cooling problems, the magic crystal cannons turned off after just 1 round of launch. Only the flame meteors thrown by the catapults were still flying. Due to the unusually open terrain to the east of the Blue Glory Capital, the distribution of the Abyss monsters was relatively scattered. The catapult’s lethality was not as ideal as the Thorn Fortress.
Sandro didn’t order the magic rifle legion to fire, because from the previous intel analysis, the defenses of the Abyss monsters were quite strong. If the distance was too far, the lethality of the magic rifle would be greatly reduced, wasting ammunition in vain.
Seeing the bloody wave approaching quickly, Sandro suddenly issued an unexpected order, “First Coalition Legion Magician! Ready!”
The First Coalition Legion Magician was the elf legion of the magician city. The elves stood on the top of the city and quickly chanted the joint magic. It was not an AOE magic like [Meteor Rain], but [Earth Wall], a relatively low level earth elemental magic.
The elves had a very strong sense of the elements, especially in this kind of joint spellcasting, so the power was far greater than that of ordinary single spells. Hills emerged one by one, and they became higher and higher, forming a whole piece of rolling hills. The terrain of the entire plain turned into hills.
This hill terrain was quite particular. Not all the terrain had become steep, but a few exits had been deliberately left. Due to the little resistance before, the momentum of the Abyss army’s forward charge was extremely fast. In this sudden change, even if they wanted to respond, it was too late, so they couldn’t help but rush toward those exits.
The spread formation was gathered together.
At this moment, Sandro decisively ordered, “First Magician Coalition Legion back off. Magic rifle, fire!”
All the magic rifles burst into flames almost at the same time. Due to the sudden change in the terrain, the Abyss monsters gushing out from the exit were quite dense, which was convenient for the magic rifles to focus their fire. The gap demons in front fell down without any suspense. There was still a difference in the shooting here. The accuracy of the elf gunmen was extremely high. They often hit the gap demons’ foreheads with one blow, severely injuring the gap demons or even killing them directly. However, ordinary human gunmen were obviously inferior. Nonetheless, due to the terrain, a large number of the Abyss monsters had been wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Sandro’s commanding ability made Elf Princess Philly secretly admire. She was a top student of Starlight College. Naturally, she could recognize that this tactic had been used quite successfully. The time and distance of the hills made by the magician legion were well-coordinated. They not only interrupted the charge formation of the Abyss monsters, but it also let the opponent enter the effective range of their own magic rifles. It was as if the Abyss monsters actively cooperated to complete it.
The Abyss army was still advancing one after another like crazy as if the casualties ahead had nothing to do with them. More and more monsters were pouring out of the exit. The magic rifles’ strikes were also beginning to disperse. The lethality was significantly reduced. The berserk demons behind were also starting to appear. They fired bone spurs in the direction of the city wall. Due to the long distance, it did not cause much damage.
However, this distance was also rapidly closing.
“Second Coalition Legion Magician, get ready!” Sandro’s voice sounded again, and another row of magicians walked up the city wall neatly. The shield appeared in time to block the bone spurs.
These were the large shield warriors of the hobbit tribe who were best at defense. They were placed at the head of the city by Sandro to protect magicians and shooters full-time.
Not long after, the Second Coalition Legion Magician had prepared the magic, which was also earth element magic. Compared with the previous [Earth Wall], this magic was of a lower level: greasy spell!
The function of the greasy spell was to make the land in an area extremely slippery and difficult to stand on. With so many magicians jointly activated, the entire area under the city suddenly became a greasy pit.
In ordinary battles, the greasy spell had no lethality at all, far inferior to the quagmire spell that could trap the enemy, but in this environment, the greasy technique had played a miraculous effect. The speed of the Abyss monsters was already very fast, thus when they were affected by the greasy technique, they couldn’t control their balance. After being squeezed by the companions behind, they staggered and fell together. Even the berserk demons couldn’t shoot bone spurs normally.
The magic gunmen and archers saw the opportunity and fired repeatedly. The Abyss monsters at the front were all annihilated under the fierce firepower. The morale of the soldiers was even stronger. At this time, many of the hills cast by the elves had cracks.
Female figures with flames all over appeared in the air.
While the flaming whip was waving, the hills collapsed one after another, revealing the Abyss sea behind.
Although they used ingenious tactics to wipe out a large number of monsters just now, to the entire Abyss army, it was just a drop in the bucket.
The real test had just begun.
