Chapter two hundred and forty-eight soldiers approaching the city
Under the leadership of the squad leader, more than a dozen elves used long and short spears and super long spears to form a forest of spears made of fine steel spearheads.
After sinking the corpses and stones of the first batch of Chaos Believers recruited deeper into the ground, and cleaning the battlefield, Carter just changed the ground to a piece of ground that was not filled with corpses of Chaos Believers. He didn't even bother to change the trenches, so he planned to repeat the same trick again.
Swamp tactics.
Facts have proved that the arrogant Chaos troops did not expect that in the face of such a huge army, there would be people who dared to leave the city wall to fight, and once again fell into the swamp trap.
However, because it was too time-consuming to build a platform and place stones on the mountainside, and simple blasting could not remove too many stones, we did not resort to flash floods to eliminate their effective strength this time.
Among the recruited Chaos Cavalry, the lucky one who was closer to the edge climbed out of the muddy ground like quicksand with difficulty, and faced alone the elves who were much more numerous than him.
The elves formed in a formation similar to the Yuanyang Formation are even more powerful than the Uprising Soldiers.
The elves who used more to defeat fewer and put up an extremely restrained formation to restrain a single elite were no longer bullying, but slaughtering.
No matter how brave the Chaos Warrior is, he can cut off several spear heads at one time, but more spear heads will still stab at its weak points, and those soldiers who were responsible for attracting his attention and had their spear heads cut off,
Then simply throw away the long gun with only the barrel, took out a hammer, mace or other blunt instrument, and rolled towards him.
Faced with attacks from more than a dozen directions at the same time, unless you mutate into three heads and six arms, there will always be times when you can't withstand them.
This highly targeted tactic gave the elves of the First Corps an advantage when dealing with them. Unless they made a mistake, the exchange ratio would be frighteningly low. After two battles, only a dozen unlucky ones were killed by the dying Chaos.
Believers are hurt.
After taking care of the Chaos Cultists who can crawl out from the outermost part, it will be easier to take care of the immobile part inside.
Just pick up the bow and arrow and shoot them as targets. You don't need to shoot through their thick plate armor, and you don't need to waste precious magic arrows. You just need to keep them busy avoiding the arrows shot towards the door, constantly moving.
The body will only allow them to be swallowed deeper and deeper into the swamp.
…
However, such a pleasant little day did not last long. On the fourth day, they had to slowly withdraw their battle line towards the fortress.
Under dual ground and air reconnaissance, the Chaos troops entering the pass began to deploy spellcasters on a large scale, and it was unrealistic to use swamp tactics.
And using an army of more than a thousand men to fight against a large army of tens of thousands on the opposite side is obviously not something that normal people would do.
Therefore, we can only continue to send out scouts and small troops to engage in small-scale battles with the Chaos Vanguard who are exploring the way.
Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, after two consecutive ambush battles and more than a dozen small-scale battles, resulting in thousands of beheadings and the loss of dozens of skilled soldiers, Carter led his team back to the Eagle Fortress.
They bought an extra day for the fortress, because the advance of the vanguard was slow, and the hundreds of thousands of troops pouring into the pass formed a long queue stretching for tens of kilometers, forming a crowding phenomenon.
Only then can the genius officially arrive at the city.
"Wow..." Carter, who was soaked in the hot water bucket, breathed a comfortable sigh of relief.
Amy, who was wearing a thin nightgown, took a washing brush and soap and sat outside the bucket to help her wash her long hair that was covered in sticky blood.
"You work too hard"
Amy, who looked calm, said sadly while washing his hair.
"This is for our families. If we don't work hard, they will be the ones who suffer. My dearest love."
Carter comforted him by saying that he was a little repelled by the open relationship between elves, but after all, they were his two closest relatives, and they were both girls, so in the end he did not make any reaction.
Every world has its own human relationships. He cannot require all elves to maintain relationships according to his ideas just because he is alone. The only thing he can do is to ensure that they do not become too depraved, causing them to fall into the abyss of the Prince of Darkness.
.
However, the only thing Carter cannot accept is the kind of indiscriminate promiscuity hosted by the Eternal Queen. Under the influence of aphrodisiac drugs, elves who have completely lost their minds may even have unspeakable things with their relatives. Those who are extremely unlucky may even enter their souls.
, giving birth to offspring that should not be there.
Even close relatives of elves are extremely prone to deformed children, and because these deformed children are more likely to be rejected and teased, the probability of being corrupted by Chaos is greatly increased.
Elf society needs reform, but it doesn't necessarily have to be based on the human template of Carter's previous life.
If he traveled to a world where men and women were equal, and the women there didn't care about such things being as casual as men, but he insisted on demanding them according to the standards of the patriarchal world in his previous life, wouldn't it be a bit too arrogant?
The same goes for the elves in Warhammer World.
After taking a beautiful bath, Carter felt much more relaxed in every aspect and regained his energy.
……………………
The evil power of chaos covers the entire sky. Even in broad daylight, the sun's brilliance cannot penetrate the clouds and reach the ground, warming everything with its own body.
What does it mean to have flags like a forest and war drums shaking the sky?
Countless legion battle flags with skulls as decorations were planted five kilometers away from the fortress. Each one represents a Chaos legion or war gang, and there are hundreds of flags like this.
The tens of thousands of creatures gathered together and surging together looked like a moving sea of human heads in the distance.
However, compared to ordinary humanoid targets, the ones that feel more oppressive are those giant creatures.
The enslaved giants stood in a row. Even if they didn't understand anything, any elf who saw them would feel a sense of fear of the giant creatures deep in their hearts.
Dragon demon, mammoth, captured triceratops, tyrannosaurus, pterosaur, hydra, swamp monster.
These huge corrupted creatures are challenging the courage of a mortal. Anyone who can resist trembling in front of them is enough to be crowned a warrior.
The natural fear of huge creatures is a survival instinct imprinted deep in the genes. A 1.6-meter person will feel like facing a giant when facing a 2-meter person, let alone a monster that can move up to 10 meters.
.
"The evil monsters seem powerful, but we killed countless people along the way. When you cut off their heads, you will find that they are just taller and not scary at all! In front of the magic turret, you look
The bigger you get, the easier it is to become a target!"
"When the fight comes later, those 'big' guys will have to be dealt with by the mages and engineers in the turret! We are responsible for dealing with the smaller ones. Don't swarm against the big ones and let the smaller ones rush over instead!"
The experienced Nagareth elves continued to comfort the poor recruits who had to face such a large-scale world-destroying army for the first time on the battlefield.
The experience they gained with their blood and tears is extremely valuable to new recruits and can largely avoid mistakes in combat.
"You have to be fast when probing, and use fake moves from time to time to trick the enemy into throwing away their axes and javelins. Did you hear that? Don't just sit there in a daze!"
The elf soldiers from the Inner Ring Kingdom were a little uncomfortable for a while when they saw that the normally kind Nagarith elves, regardless of gender, turned into cold-faced tyrants.
"Sigh, I really don't know how many of them can survive until the day of victory..."
Carter, who came to the outermost city wall, saw the new recruits with dull eyes and couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.
The Khorne believers, who were always thirsting for blood and glory, did not keep the elves waiting. Tens of thousands of Khorne believers from multiple legions were divided into several waves of 3,000 people, and launched a wave-like attack.
