While the archers were suppressing the opponent, the central army of the Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom was not idle either. Under Filia's orders, they maintained the fish-scale formation and advanced steadily.
Although the archers could further reduce the number of enemies, the vampire's previous delay and current defensive posture made it obvious that they were waiting for work, so Filia decided to respond with a quick battle.
The troops were getting closer and closer to the Vampire military formation, and the enemy archers' shooting accuracy improved significantly. Fortunately, ten giant rock turtles opened the way to block the enemy's shooting range, so the casualties were not serious.
In the last 100 meters, after withstanding another volley from the Vampires, several orange-yellow flares took off and exploded. This was Filia's command to charge.
"Kill!!!" Mais threw the shield aside and roared, one person leading the charge, and the elites of the vanguard battalion he led also charged.
There are a total of 42 people and 45 beasts in the Pioneer Battalion, all of which are intermediate warriors, intelligent level spiritual beasts or above. They are the largest scales in the fish scale formation and also the sharpest knives.
The vanguard battalion rushed to the front of the enemy formation before the vampire archers rained down arrows. Senior gun dancer Mai Si was the fastest and the first to meet the enemy. Mai Si turned around and swiped with the steel gun in his hand. The sharp spear tip and the fierce blast of the spear knocked away several vampires who were defending with their shields!
A bit of cold light flashed, and then the gun shot out like a dragon! Mais directly activated the status skill Gentian Gun Soul and rushed left and right into the enemy's formation. While killing the enemy, it also widened the gap in the front line for the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion.
If the Pioneer Battalion is a sharp knife, Mais is the tip of the knife. Three strong-level dire manta wolves tried to smooth the tip of the knife and entangle him, but they were killed one after another by Mais, who was superb in spear skills. kill.
Spearmanship is the most difficult of all martial arts to practice. The middle-aged Mais has honed his spearmanship to an extremely proficient level. He can fight with ease and fluidity, and he reveals a pleasing feeling in the killing.
The soldiers of the vanguard battalion then engaged the enemy. They were all elites. Compared with them, the strength of the vampire vanguard was much weaker.
The previous focus shooting of the archers showed its effect at this time. According to Filia's order, the position where the vanguard camp broke through happened to be the location where the archers focused their shooting. The number of vampire vanguards in this area was reduced, and the team was incomplete. Even if there were other When the troops come to support, it is not as good as the tacit cooperation of comrades in the same team.
With one increase and one decrease, the vanguard battalion successfully inserted into the entry point opened by Mais. The entire team took on a cone shape, with Mais as the head of the cone, deeply embedded in the blood clan formation.
Advancing two hundred meters along the way, Mais was finally stopped by four elite punishers. The vanguard battalion stood firm to prevent itself from being surrounded. After receiving support from other teams behind it, it shrunk its formation and became the most prominent one in the fish scale formation again. scales.
The tactical idea of the Fish Scale Formation is to concentrate superior forces to break through in the center. When Philiya set up the formation, she concentrated the powerful troops in the center. The stronger the troops, the deeper they penetrated into the enemy formation. Now the vanguard battalion became a cone head, and the entire Chinese army A large awl was also formed, denting the blood clan's main formation.
Each unit, like Mais's vanguard battalion, shrinks its formation when it stops advancing or once it reaches a certain point, reducing the enemy's contact area during attack and defense.
The fish scale array looks dense, but in fact the gaps between each fish scale are large enough for enemies to enter and launch an attack.
Due to the insufficient attacking area of the army, the frontline commanders of the Vampire clan always feel that they are unable to use their strength. Although there is no gap between the strength of the troops and their opponents, they are severely suppressed.
The formation of the vampire army was disrupted. There was a large formation at the rear and the enemy's formation in front. There was no room to reorganize. It would be very passive if this situation continued. The strategy the commander could think of was to order the army to enter the gaps in the enemy's fish scale formation to look for opportunities. .
"The left and right armies are surrounding us. The Chinese army will directly insert into the gaps in the enemy's formation and fight. Break this fish scale formation for me! Pay attention to the movements of the enemy's left and right armies and set aside troops to deal with the counter-encirclement." Blood Knight gave the order. , his idea was even bolder, and he directly gave up the defense and launched a siege.
The Blood Knight felt that the space of the Chinese army was severely suppressed, which would affect the entire battle situation. Since the enemy's breakthrough has stopped, it must be out of power. It is better to directly attack the enemy's Chinese army in the fish scale formation.
The vampire army took action, and the left and right armies stretched out like two arms in an attempt to embrace the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom's central army. However, the Soul Summoning Holy Kingdom side seemed to have been prepared. Archers who had not moved after long-range suppression appeared. After finding the back-firing position that the left and right armies of the Blood Tribe had to guard against, the magician troops in the rear quickly split into two and moved to both sides while maintaining a safe distance.
The blood clan's central army also broke into the gap of the fish scale formation. At first, it went very smoothly and almost penetrated into the rear of the enemy formation. Then they saw several green signal bombs explode in the air on the opposite side. The pressure suddenly increased, and the scales in the enemy formation seemed to come alive. Come over and eat the vampire soldiers who broke into the formation one by one.
The fish scale formation emphasizes mixed combat with multiple arms, and is very suitable for the temporarily integrated Holy Spirit Summoning Kingdom army. Philiabu's formation is perfect. Each team is in its most suitable position. The captains can know how to fight with each other without too much thinking. Cooperation with friendly forces.
The various team members in the Fish Scale Formation had mixed professions and were not easy to perform, but Filia matched them with a variety of spiritual beasts based on their characteristics. People and spiritual beasts complemented each other, greatly increasing their offensive and defensive strength.
The situation of the blood clan's left and right armies is not optimistic either. Although the archers' volleys of arrows are only moderately lethal, they cannot be ignored. This slows down their encirclement speed. Once the magicians are in place, they may cause devastating damage. blow. What's more, there are two mobile units of the enemy's left and right armies, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
"Interesting." The Blood Knight felt as if the orders he gave were predicted in advance. Otherwise, a temporarily integrated army of humans and spiritual beasts would not be able to respond so quickly.
The Blood Knight is also a self-aware commander. He feels that the other commander's command ability is stronger than his.
In fact, the vampire side had an advantage before the war began. The first two lines of defense effectively consumed the opponent's physical strength and energy, while our own side was fully prepared and ready, showing an obvious tendency to wait for work.
The Blood Knight did not expect that the two adjudicators failed to kill the enemy coach. If they could successfully kill the coach, the enemy's morale would be greatly damaged, and the blood clan's morale would be high.
Even if the assassination failed, the key point is that one of the adjudicators was beheaded by the formation. The body of a team in the fish scale formation was displayed in a different place. On the contrary, the morale of the other side skyrocketed and our morale dropped.
The morale of the army is one of the most important factors in exerting its combat effectiveness. Filia placed the iron-eating beast in the formation like a pillar to support the battlefield, so that the soldiers can fight with peace of mind. The Array Cutting Judge is even more important Their morale was boosted, and the person who personally beheaded the Adjudicator was their new commander.
This commander is heroic and beautiful, and the tactics she has laid out for everyone are extremely reasonable. She even predicts the actions of the vampires very accurately. So far in the battle, the officers and soldiers of the Holy Kingdom Army have convinced her from the bottom of their hearts. He is willing to obey her orders and fight to the end.
"Let the Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede troops be dispatched, defeat the opponent's magician troops, send out the undead troops to drive away the archers, and protect the left and right legions." The opponent's high morale has offset our own advantage of waiting for work, and even obtained it through formation and command. In order to gain an advantage, the Blood Knight could not keep the opponent's morale at its highest point for too long, so he had to use his hidden trump card.
"Your Majesty the Priest, please keep an eye on the iron-devouring giant beast and trap it with the Dark Mire if it makes any move." In the blood array of the blood race, the dark priest who maintained the operation of the blood array nodded silently.
The magician troops of the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom army were in position, and various magics were summoned to the soldiers of the blood clan and left and right legions in front, and a lot of results were obtained.
The morale of the magicians was greatly boosted, and they were about to launch another magic volley. The earth magician in the team sensed something unusual and suddenly shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Watch the rear!!"
The magicians who were in poor physical condition were unable to react. They turned back to look for the enemy and before they could figure out what was going on, they saw the ground suddenly crack. Dozens of huge centipedes nearly as tall as a person emerged from it and popped out from both sides of their bodies. Countless sharp blades rushed into the magician team!
The magician was caught off guard. The oozing look of the giant centipede was so visually impactful that not many people could remain calm after witnessing it at close range. Panic and fear instantly took over. Less than 20% of the magicians successfully released magic to resist, and the rest were fleeing in all directions.
But they only have two legs, so how can they run as fast as a giant centipede with dozens of legs? What Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede likes most is to hunt down such creatures that are frightened by them.
Pursuing and cutting, a life can be harvested in two simple steps. The Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede uses the exoskeleton blades on both sides of its body to chase down the fleeing magician.
This was a massacre. Almost all the fleeing magicians were killed. The Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede's sharp blade was exactly at the height of a human's waist. Most of the magicians were cut into two pieces, and their deaths were extremely painful and miserable.
The mobile troops originally located not far from the magician troops rushed to support when the Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede appeared. However, the massacre was too fast, and they could only save those magicians who gathered together to release magic and resist.
The Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede was not willing to fight. After killing the last few panic-stricken magicians who fled to the vampire army, it retreated to guard the left and right armies that had completed the encirclement.
The front part of the centipede's body was raised, and its complex mouthparts made a "hissing" sound, as if it was mocking the opponent's vulnerability and showing off its killing results.
The soldiers of the Holy Kingdom of Souls clenched their fists as they looked at the horrific corpses of their teammates. The two broken corpses, the internal organs scattered everywhere, the blood staining the ground red, and the frozen expressions of horror and despair all made the soldiers hate them. anger.
But they were not carried away by anger and were still waiting for Filia's orders. They believed that their commander would be able to lead them to revenge and achieve final victory.
The rear army of the Soul-Calling Holy Kingdom is at the center.
Filia was afraid of both the legless and all-legged bugs. The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, and the hand holding the sword hilt clenched tightly. She endured the discomfort and observed this kind of monster.
The Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede is one to two meters tall and more than ten meters long. It is very huge. Such a large body must be a monster of the strong body level or above, and a dozen of the largest centipedes are at the regret level.
The Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede is a killing machine trained by the vampires. It requires special training as a demon master to control it. Its weapons are two rows of exoskeleton bone blades located on both sides of the body that can be flexibly ejected and retracted. The bone blades are extremely sharp. Comparable to fine steel blades.
Many centipedes are poisonous, and the Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede is no exception. However, the Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede prefers to develop in the direction of close combat and is not very toxic.
However, its huge size results in a lot of toxins in its body. The originally weak toxicity becomes stronger after a large amount of toxins are injected into it. The toxins are attached to the bone blade. Humans will be scratched to death if the blade is not removed in time. Will be poisoned to death.
Each Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede is a deadly weapon on the battlefield. Their appearance wipes out the advantages gained by the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom army, and even seriously threatens the safety of the left and right armies.
Filia quickly analyzed the situation.
A group of zombies and skeletons are approaching from the archer unit. Zombies and skeletons are not afraid of shooting. Archers cannot deal with them, but they move very slowly and cannot catch up with archers. These cannon fodder are nothing to worry about. At most, they can only contain the archer troops. They can be solved by sending a small group of highly mobile troops over there.
The most troublesome thing is the dozens of giant centipedes with thousands of blades. The magician troops are completely dead and injured. The only ones that can effectively kill them are the powerful giant-horned rhinoceros troops, but they will not just stand there stupidly. They will definitely run away and fight, so that the giant-horned consonant troops that were originally used to open up the situation and win the victory will be contained.
There was no other way, Filia still let the giant-horned rhinoceros troops rush towards the Thousand-Blade Giant Centipede. If they were not dealt with, the variables would be too great and the tactical strategy would be impossible.
Next, we have to rely on the left and right armies, which are strong in maneuverability but weak in frontal combat, to carry out counter-encirclement. This is destined to be a hard battle. Without the powerful impact of the giant horns, the casualties of the left and right armies will be much more serious.
It would be great if there was support from the air, Filia thought and suddenly looked up at the sky as if she felt something in her heart.
