Chapter 16 The Hot Spring Pass on Mount Bamir
Chapter 16: The "hot spring pass" on Mount Bamir
Looking at the numerous torches as the stars in the sky approaching, Bolayou took a deep breath and put down the mask on his helmet!
If the guidance warriors and demon mages in the city are still there, then you can stop the enemy's footsteps by just knocking down the cliffs on both sides! But they have all dispersed to protect the farm that was invaded by those greedy mercenaries! Now Bolayou and the soldiers behind them can only use their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's sword!
However, he did not regret his decision! When he became a noble, he had already vowed to Aussettine: to use his blood and life to defend St. Ostaint's freedom and peace!
"Hu..." Bolayou exhaled the air in his lungs, "Everyone is ready!" and said, he raised the huge square shield in front of him to order the soldiers.
"Swish...swish...clang clang!" One equally huge square shields stood up, and spears stretched out from the gap between the shield, forming a low wall made of steel and covered with thorns in the narrow mountain road that only twenty people walked side by side!
The soldiers in the back row held the square shield in the sky, in order to prevent the enemy's bows and arrows from causing damage to the soldiers behind the shield in a parabolic manner! The entire team looked like an iron box covered with sharp spikes in the narrow mountain path!
If Feng Kan was here, he would definitely be surprised! This is the dense infantry formation used by Alexander the Great, who had been scattered across Europe for centuries - the Macedonian square formation!
Although it is in different time and space, the trajectory of civilization development is surprisingly similar...
"Don't waste magic power! Pay attention to the replacement of the queue! The rhinoceros and the cattle tribe take the lead! The tower shields line up!" As orders were issued one by one, tower shields covered with sharp spikes were nearly three meters blocking the gaps on both sides of the mountain road! Behind each tower shield there was a giant man close to or more than two meters in height. Each giant man either had two curved corners or had a thick horn between his forehead!
There are twenty rhinoceros warriors and thirty cattle warriors in the team! Although orcs cannot use the guide plate, their natural physical advantages also make them more suitable to exert their strength in such places! "Original Liberation" only takes fifteen minutes and can only be used when deciding on the outcome!
"Bang, bang, bang..." The enemy's pace became faster and faster! The sharp sword and spear waving in his hand reflected the starlight so dazzling that it made people almost unable to open their eyes!
Jamins' soldiers were all wearing hard armor, carved into various ferocious facial armors, and the cold eyes were shining with bloodthirsty light!
"Immortal Buzz..." A huge bowstring sounded, and Jamins launched the offensive first! Rows of sharp arrows soared into the sky and rushed towards Bolayou's team like a heavy rain!
After a dense "Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding" metal impact sound, dark arrow shafts were inserted above the square array!
"Kill..." Jamins' heavy infantry phalanx let out a shocking shout, waving his weapons to rush towards the shields!
"Freedom! Glory!" Two hundred St. Ostan's warriors shouted their faith and shone with various lights on their bodies to face the enemy...
The narrow mountain road rolled like boiling water! Jamins' heavy infantry relied on his solid armor to strike again and again on the square of shields covered with sharp spikes! However, the extended spear always attacked the fragile places of their armor with straight trajectories! Each attack could cause some people to fall to the ground. A shrill scream came from the team with blood splashing. The injured Jamins soldiers were not rescued. The people behind were crowded forward regardless of their carelessness, and soon they stepped on the injured...
Noisy and chaotic, this is the situation of the contact points between the two sides at this time. The harsh collision sounds of weapons and weapons intersecting each other! Jamins' soldiers kept rushing towards the formation like a tide, and soon, the solid spears broke one after another!
"Ding ding chuck!" The Jamins soldier who rushed to the front of the square formation used his shield, weapons, and spikes on his shoulders, elbows and knees... all the things that could be used were attacked against the shield wall! The solid shield wall was undulating like a shock, but the seemingly fragile shield wall still stood firm! The St. Ostan soldier who lost his spear was fearless and threw the broken spear in his hand casually, pulled out the short sword at his waist, looking for an opportunity to stab from the side of the shield! Because the square shield blocked his sight and could not see the opposite side, many Jamins soldiers were injured by the short sword that was elusive and swept up and down like a snake letter! These short and concise short swords pierced along the gaps of the enemy's armor! Once the waist, thighs, and neck, once pierced, the sword-holding wrist immediately turned and twisted and pulled out quickly, bringing out a surging blood...
The tower shields on both sides also played a role at this time! The sharp spikes kept pushing forward slowly, gradually approaching the enemy in front of them to the center of the front of the square array. The front of the square array gradually formed a sunken arc! The gaps exposed on both sides of the mountain road immediately filled the tower shields behind them! The St. Ostan soldiers behind the team followed tacitly and built the same shield wall with the square shield!
Unconsciously, a small part of Jamins' assault team was gradually surrounded! When these people found something wrong, only solid shields and bright spears were left around them! Amid the desperate roars, the divided Jamins soldiers were hidden in the square...
The side of the encirclement that was connected to the enemy quickly formed the same square formation! At this time, the team that changed to the front line slowly retreated, leaving only one corpse on the ground like a retreating tide...
This process is repeated! Jamins' heavy infantry is being eaten up bit by bit...
The people of St. Ostan love peace! But this does not mean that they are at the mercy of others! Bora You brought out the last soldiers in the city! These are all veterans who have experienced many battles! Everyone knows in their hearts that behind them is a beautiful hometown, parents, wives and children, and close friends. If they fall here, their beloved will become tragic slaves and be bullied, and their beloved hometown will become hell on earth, so - they cannot retreat!
"What are these idiots doing?" Baron Alvin frowned and watched the battle situation impatiently. This is a handsome young man! His soft blonde hair was soothing and flowing in the night wind, and his gorgeous armor with gold and silver made him look more majestic! His right hand with metal gloves held a more gorgeous helmet and rode on a white horse without a single hair...
"Sir! The terrain here is too narrow! Our number of people cannot be used! If this continues, it will only cause higher losses!" The adjutant reminded him worriedly.
"Of course I know this! Idiot!" Alvin cursed angrily.
They did not bring any heavy equipment during this surprise attack! It was not that they didn’t want to bring it, but that they couldn’t bring it! Because of this, my father spent a lot of money to ask him to hire more than a dozen mercenaries to come here to harass him! In order to try his best to weaken the troops in Caishi Town and achieve the goal of hitting the attack!
He really admired his father so much! He really deserves to be Jamins' genius!
Two years ago, a devastating alchemist invented a ridiculous magic prop. The alchemist gave the waste a loud name - "Lieyang"! What is the function of this magic path? It is to form a constant temperature and comfortable space barrier within a certain range! It sounds pretty good, right? You may be interested in some countries in the north! But don't worry, this thing has no other functions except this purpose!
It doesn't matter. Those rich families will welcome this "small invention" that can create a warm environment in the severe winter! However, the last condition completely makes this little thing full of family atmosphere completely waste: if you want to use it, then you have to gather the financial resources of a small and medium-sized country! Why? That's because only the highest-level fire element guiding circuit crystal can provide enough magic power for this thing! A "flame essence" circuit crystal can only allow it to run for about ten days!
"Fire Essence"? Just kidding! There will be no more than 300 pieces of this thing found in Jamins! Moreover, the way this "Fire Sun" uses loop crystals is different from other guide props! The loop crystals it used will not be able to slowly re-fille magic power like other guide devices! Instead, it will directly turn into an ordinary crystal!
Is this the use of circuit crystallization? This is simply burning money!
But his father! Earl Falgira, the genius of Jamins, turned this thing that everyone regarded as the most funny joke ever to turn into treasure! The surprise attack plan he formulated will bring the money-burning thing to its greatest value!
A "fire sun" can allow about 300 people to pass the highest Kanlajima Mountain in the Dabar Mountains without being affected by the forbidden area of the God of Ice and Snow! After consuming 60 precious "flame spirits", they finally arrived at the Bamir Mountain near the target! Originally, as long as the soldiers were ready, they could easily start the action after contacting the mercenaries at the foot of the mountain in two days! But an accident happened this afternoon! When he thought of this accident, he was so angry that he had nowhere to be heard! Now he had to start attacking while the target was not fully prepared! Unexpectedly, the other party reacted so quickly! Block his army on this narrow mountain road!
They must rush through here as soon as possible! In this narrow terrain, there are only dozens of people who will always be connected! The advantage of the number of people cannot be reflected at all! Only when he reaches a place with open terrain can he do his best! Otherwise, all his efforts will be wasted, and the enemy's reinforcements will reinforce Caishi Town during this period! By then, everyone will be buried in a foreign land! They have no way to turn back!
Now both sides are fighting for time! If Bolayou and the others can hold on until dawn, they will win! Even if all of them are killed, they will be willing!
"What are the guidance warriors doing? Why don't you help me?" Alvin roared! If the guidance warriors join the battle, then this stalemate will be corrected immediately! They are alone and can no longer waste their troops!
"Sir! If you use the guiding spell in such a place, it will cause the landslide to collapse! That will be exactly the same as the enemy's wishes!" The adjutant was shocked and hurriedly stopped the superior from his hot-headed behavior!
"..." Alvin's eyes were red and gasping. It was not that he didn't understand the awesome relationship, he just wanted to vent!
"Hmph...hehe...hahaha..." Then he suddenly laughed nervously, and the adjutant looked at his commander worriedly, afraid that he would be disturbed by setbacks at this time...
"Don't we still have twenty sets of heavy-duty guide armor?" Alvin said with a ferocious smile on his originally handsome face!
"But sir! That's something that only used when siegeing the city! We only have these twenty sets of heavy-mounted guide armor. If we run out of magic power now, it will take another half a day to charge it!"
"It's okay!" Alvin smiled even more ferociously! "I believe that the last troops in Caishi Town are concentrated here! The one we face is almost an empty city if we annihilate them here! Besides, if we don't pass here, what's the use of staying with these elite weapons in our country? Do they use them as the enemy's spoils?"
"I see!"
"Wait!" Alvin called out to the adjutant who turned around and was about to issue the order, "Call the front to stop attacking! Form a defensive formation! We can no longer lose our troops! Since we cannot break through their defense, they should not pose any threat to us!"
"Yes! My sir!"
The fierce battle had a brief break! But everyone understood that this was the last tranquility before the storm!
The heavy-duty guide armor cannot be carried by one person, but fortunately it can be broken down into dozens of small components! This is also the only heavy-duty equipment Alvin can carry!
The transport soldiers in the team formed the boxes on their bodies! They divided them into twenty groups in an orderly manner, took out the parts of the heavy-guided armor in the box, took out the tools on their bodies and started the assembly operation...
After a while, twenty steel giants about three meters tall stood up, and hundreds of guide circuits crystallized on the solid and wide armor shone in turn! The colorful magic power flowed in the Chinese light in the guide circuit...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" With the heavy footsteps, the soldier wearing heavy guide armor walked towards the formation with slow but irresistible steps...
Faced with the enemy who was pressing step by step, Bolayou's face hidden under the mask became even more solemn! The hands holding the weapons were already a little numb at this moment! The soldiers also looked very tired! But no one retreated! Everyone just held the hands holding the weapons tighter! The rhinoceros warriors and the bull warriors let out a low voice like beasts in the throats! They were ready to release the "original liberation"!
"I didn't expect that we had equipment like heavy guide armor, did you?" Alvin smiled smugly! His left hand subconsciously turned the pendant on the necklace on his chest!
That is not an ordinary pendant! This is the "Emma Barrier" made with the dragon crystal of the Gang Armor Dragon! The Gang Armor Dragon is the most defensive four-legged walking sub-dragon on the Truntak continent! Almost all guiding spells and magic are invalid on it! You can only attack its soft abdomen with sharp weapons to kill it! And the "Emma Barrier" made by its dragon crystal is as indestructible as the legendary air fortress "Emma Delan"! And its biggest advantage is that it does not use the magic or elemental power of anyone who uses it! Only when it is attacked will it automatically generate a magic barrier at two steps around the user! It is possible to break this magic barrier unless it has the attack power of the true ancestor monster!
The previous owner of this "Emma Barrier" was his father! For this mission, the father personally brought the "Emma Barrier" around his neck. When he recalled his father's expectant gaze, Alvin felt a little excited!
After the successful battle, the prestige of the Grand Duke Francis, the dominant master of Walken, will be unattainable in the empire! The throne of the imperial emperor is also within reach! And the status of his family in the country will also rise and prosper...
Alvin looked into the mountains ahead with longing, where he was about to show his strength! He seemed to have seen the army of Jamins rushing into St. Ostan as if he had entered a no-man state. Those dirty orcs, self-righteous elves, and inferior shorts all crawled in front of him for mercy...
"Huh?" Alvin narrowed his eyes slightly. He saw something flashing and reflecting starlight on the mountain in the distance opposite him!
"Is it snow? It's already at the foot of Mount Bamir? Why is there still snow?" Several question marks flashed in his head.
Then, a faint fire flashed, like the firefly flying in the summer night...
This is the last sight Alvin saw...
