"The whole army obeys the order. The first group of the Dragon Knights stays behind to guard the city wall. The rest of the army retreats five hundred meters and quickly forms a formation to defend against the enemy!"
Edela's voice was like a loud bell, and the military orders were very clear on the chaotic and cruel battlefield.
Five hundred meters is only a short distance for an army of millions.
But there is something special about Eddrache's retreat of 500 meters.
First of all, clinging to the city wall will only lead to death.
Whether it is the Abyssal Beast, the three giants who have rushed to the base of the wall, and the Stone-horned Beast King who are gradually unable to restrain themselves, they pose a very high threat to the city wall and can tear down the city wall very quickly.
Stick to the city wall. If the wall is destroyed by them, the soldiers on it will die when the wall collapses. The imperial army cannot afford such a meaningless loss.
Moreover, so far in the war, the siege equipment that the orcs should build has been completed. Cloud ladders and siege towers are densely built on the edge of the city wall, so the orcs can easily climb the city wall.
The archer troops and magician troops who were originally responsible for long-range suppression of the orc infantry on the city wall, one was dealing with air threats, and the other was
To prevent the giant beasts from raging, there was no need to worry about the orc infantry.
The city wall is no different than in vain. For the orcs, it is just one more step to climb.
Secondly, retreating 500 meters can still allow the city wall to use its remaining heat.
The walls of the imperial fortress defense line are high and thick. If they are bombed down, they will become a masonry ruins, which can block the enemy.
Even if the orc army wants to clean up the city wall in a short time, it is impossible, so once the imperial army withdraws, the city wall can still act as a buffer.
When the time comes for the imperial army to concentrate on dealing with the orcs who rush through the ruins of the city wall, the battle may be easier than holding on to the city wall.
Of course, there are still some problems with this.
For example, giant beasts such as Thunder Fang Beast and Stone Horn Beast, as well as the giant tribesmen, their combat power on the flat ground is even more powerful than when attacking a city, making them difficult to deal with.
In the final analysis, there are still no giant beasts in the empire. If the Spirit-Calling Holy Army of the Spirit-Calling Holy Kingdom comes instead, these will not be a problem.
Fortunately, there is not a large piece of flat land behind the city wall. There are still three layers of fortresses for defense, which can last for a while.
As for whether he can wait for support, Edlatch himself is not sure. He misses Charles' pretty handsome face now, or the pretty face of little Matilda.
Thinking of the saint-level combat power of the empire, Edrache couldn't help but said to himself: "I really don't know what this bastard Lanster is thinking. The power of the empire has been gathered, and his Lion family sent some crooked melons." Split dates! The key is to not stab someone in the back at this point! I really don’t understand hypocritical people!”
But there was no time for him to think carefully. After adding a few more military orders, Edrache flew into the sky and attacked the "little man" Regur who had rushed through the city wall and seriously affected the army's subsequent deployment.
"If you kill one of my generals, then stay here!"
The old marshal's roar shook the sky, and the two giant martial saints, "Opening Titan" Seokli and "Lord of the Mountain" Helga, could hear clearly.
Giants are the tallest humanoid species in the world of Hess. The height of ordinary giants is about eight to ten meters, the giant king Seokli is eleven meters tall, and Helga is thirteen meters tall.
The mutant giant Regur is only about four meters tall, which is where his nickname "Little Man" comes from.
The four-meter-long little giant is still a big guy for normal humans, but Raigul is extremely agile. His agility is comparable to that of a swordsman who wins with speed.
Regur had enough respect for Edrache. As soon as he saw that Edrache was targeting him, he immediately raised the two knives in his hands and took a defensive posture.
"boom!"
Edrache struck out with a heavy hammer, and the warhammer hit the double swords that were longer than him, causing Regur to stagger.
Regur stabilized his body and looked in front of him, but Eddrache was nowhere to be seen.
The mutated giant was startled, and suddenly he felt a strong wind coming from behind him, and there was a pain like a stabbing from behind, and he immediately slashed sideways with a knife!
However, Regur was fast, and Eddrache, who was much smaller than him, was even faster. The old marshal easily dodged the big blade, and used his war hammer to slam down on Regur's knees!
When it comes to the most vulnerable joints of humanoid creatures, the knees are definitely on the list. With a tall body like a giant, the knees bear greater pressure and are more fragile and critical.
You can tell this if you take a closer look at the armor of the giants. Almost none of them are fully armored. Most of them only wear armor in key parts, such as their heads, chests, crotches and knees.
The structure of the knees is very complex, and it is much more difficult to create suitable armor than other parts. However, the armor on the knees of the giants is the most sophisticated, which reflects the importance they attach to their knees.
Edrache had a resounding nickname in the early years, called "Behemoth Killer". He was extremely good at dealing with large creatures, which is why Regul valued him so much.
The old marshal couldn't defeat the Abyssal Beast, that's because the Abyssal Beast was too strong and there was really nothing he could do.
The heavy blow to the knee was as powerful as thunder. Regur gathered his energy and put the knife away as quickly as possible to defend.
Unexpectedly, Edrache's blow to the knee was actually a feint. He quickly adjusted his body and stepped hard on the big knife that was coming at him!
"Bang!" The two energies intertwined and erupted, and Edrache took advantage of the momentum to rise up and rush toward Regur's abdomen like an arrow.
Regur secretly thought that something was wrong. He had already drawn out his two swords and was not standing firmly. He could not stop the extremely fast Edrache no matter what.
The mutated giant could only gather energy in his abdomen, trying to defend against the blow with a powerful energy shield.
"boom!"
The war hammer hit the energy shield without hesitation. Regur was trying to use the energy to adjust his body posture and try to avoid getting hurt, but he was surprised to find that his energy shield had no protective effect. It disintegrated the moment it came into contact with the war hammer.
Before Raigul could figure out what was going on, he suddenly felt numbness in his abdomen, followed by severe pain.
Eddrache succeeded in the attack without any hesitation, dodged the direct counterattack, and put some distance between himself and Regur.
Energy surged around the war hammer in his hand, as if it had been consumed a lot and was replenishing energy.
Among the internal organs of humanoids, the most fragile is the spleen, which has a texture like tofu.
The spleen is a blood-rich organ with an internal structure like a sponge. Once it is hit hard, it will rupture, leading to massive bleeding.
The strong man knew his physical condition very well. Regur immediately noticed that his spleen had been smashed into bloody tofu by the hammer, so he used his strength to block the blood circulation around the spleen.
Regur stared at the warhammer in Edrache's hand with fear in his eyes.
His understanding of Edrache was limited to the two nicknames "Empire Marshal" and "Behemoth Killer". It was the first time he fought against him just now, and he was not familiar with his fighting style.
The hammer was powerful and heavy, using the martial arts technique Thunder Strike, but he had never heard that a Thunder Strike could instantly break up the energy shield.
In this case, either there is something wrong with Edrache's strength, or the war hammer has special abilities.
Regur prefers the latter, because the abilities that come with strength can only be achieved by those who have peeked into the realm of the God of War, and Edrache is not such a person, otherwise he would never have had such a difficult time dealing with the Abyssal Beast.
Regur's guess was correct. The warhammer in Edrache's hand was a high-level Phoenix-level treasure called the Skull-Smashing Hammer.
The skull-crushing hammer can not only crush hard skulls, but also penetrate all shields and armors and hit the flesh directly!
With such a powerful hammer, Edrache still couldn't defeat the Abyss Beast, but because the Abyss Beast was too big and the body structure of the Red Abyss Beast was unknown, he couldn't find its vital points at all.
But the giant is different. For such a large humanoid creature, Edra can find his vitals even with his eyes closed.
The surge of energy around the skull-crushing hammer stopped, and the color became a lot brighter. Edrache struck again, using the same routine, hitting Regul's face with a hammer!
This time, Regur wanted to use a sharp attack to turn his passive into an active one. He slashed with his two swords, creating a powerful cross slash!
Raigul's sword was very large, so the range of this cross cut was surprisingly large, covering almost all positions in front of him.
Eddrache did not dodge or use the skull-crushing hammer to resist, but directly punched out. The explosive cross-cut punch created a gap, and he got through it.
Regur originally planned to use Cross Slash to force Edra to change his moves before making any plans, but the opponent's moves did not change, so his reaction was a little slower.
Now that terrifying war hammer is coming in front of him, Regur has to guard against it, but... could this be a false move?
Sure enough, Eddrache's body fell rapidly and went around behind Regur again. /
Regur could only turn around and brandish his sword to defend, but Edrache dodged and hit Regur's knee with a hammer.
The two men once again staged the fighting scene in the first round, but this time, Eddrache's heavy hammer to the knee was not a feint.
Regul still blocked it with his broadsword, and Eddrache slapped the armor on his body hard. The armor that had been damaged in the battle with the Abyssal Beast suddenly cracked and fell off, forming a shield on its own and hitting the blade.
"Bang!" The shield was cut in two.
"Bang!" Regur's knee was smashed to pieces.
"Roar!" Regur screamed in pain, losing the support of one leg and leaning to one side.
Giants have many advantages over humans, but because of their huge size, the cost of injuries to their legs and feet is greater than that of humans.
Edrache used thunderous means to destroy one of Regur's knees, weakening at least half of his mobility.
The mutated giants can no longer jump up and down arrogantly inside and outside the imperial city walls.
Of course, Edrache's goal was not to injure Regur, but to kill him.
Not only to avenge the fallen saints, but also to boost morale.
The imperial army has been fighting so far and needs a morale boost.
Edrache glanced at the other two saint-level giants and found that his son Erwin and another imperial warrior saint were trying their best to block their support, and countless warriors from the Velociraptor Knights were using their lives to delay them.
Even so, the faster-moving "Open Sky Titan" Seokli is getting closer and closer.
Eddrache snorted coldly, changed his hand to a big sword, and slashed at the half-kneeling Regur.
He wasn't afraid of Raigul in his prime, but what could the half-crippled little giant do to him?
Raigul fought hard, but felt that all his efforts were in vain.
The powerful Imperial Marshal's moves are so sophisticated that it's hard to distinguish between real and fake. They are just as masterful as when he directs battles. It's really hard to resist.
After his arms were chopped off and his chest was sliced open, Regur could no longer resist and watched helplessly as the sword struck his head.
"Thunder!"
At this time, an earth-shattering thunder exploded, and a bright sword light blasted towards Edrache.
This sword light was like the legendary Titan's sword, so domineering that Edrache could only dodge.
Fortunately, Seokli only sent out this sword in a hurry, and Edrache was able to dodge it.
"Stop!" Theokli yelled.
After Edrache dodged, he turned around and slashed with his sword!
stop? The opportunity to kill a powerful enemy is right in front of you. If the positions are reversed, will Seokli stop?
