In the afternoon, the army gathered.
Seeing that the soldiers behind him had already lined up, Hilo rode his horse back and forth in front of the formation, making a final mobilization, "Look, the cowardly Unicorn Legion has been beaten away by us." Now, it's their reinforcements. But today, they are destined to taste the bitter fruit of our iron hooves. Now, I need you to fight with all your might. And tonight, I will drink with you in Unicorn Castle. "
Hilo took a deep breath before fiercely slashing the steel sword forward, "Charge!"
After squeezing out this thunderous roar from his chest, the Blood Wolf Knight rushed past him from both sides, followed by the Blue Wolf infantry behind him. Hilo clamped his horse's abdomen with his legs and galloped wildly. This army flooded across half of the battlefield like a tide, and the sounds of killing rushed towards the opponent's position.
While charging forward, Hilo saw the soldiers in front of the opponent's formation disperse from both sides and push out mobile cannons from the rear. The style of the cannons was something he had never seen before, and they were much smaller than normal cannons. Hilo tried his best to see that there were dark yellow lines radiating from the muzzle of the cannons to the back of the cannons. The lines were shaped like lightning and had an imposing aura.
Seeing the enemy push out the cannons, Hilo clearly felt a trace of uneasiness on the soldiers' faces. He immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid, disperse the formation, we …"
At the end of his words, a cannon had already sounded from the opposite side. A gloomy, thunderous cannon sound immediately interrupted Hilo's words. Amidst the rolling sound of the cannons, a cannonball dragged its tail flames and swept through the air in an arc. It quickly passed over Hilo's head and finally landed behind the army that had yet to disperse its formation.
With a flash of fire, a fireball rose behind the group. Amidst the exploding flames, the silhouettes of the soldiers were thrown up one after another, and they quickly fell in other directions with shrill cries. Then, the scorching airflow exploded from the rear, causing the army's formation to be slightly chaotic.
With such a long range and such great power, the opponent's artillery bombardment had completely subverted Hilo's understanding of artillery. Before he could come back to his senses, the sound of cannons bombarding the enemy's position continuously rang out, and mobile cannons opened fire one after another. The flickering flames at the muzzle shocked Hillo. These seemingly small cannons had a range comparable to the annihilation cannons used by the Empire's elite artillery regiments, although they were still far inferior to the most powerful Titan's Wrath. However, after all, the other party was only the army of a baron. It was something that Hilo could never have dreamed of for a local private army to be equipped with such a powerful cannon.
Moreover, the firing rate of those cannons was even higher than the annihilation cannons. The sound of the cannons had not stopped since the first shot. Artillery shells rained down like a storm, blasting the troops behind him into a complete mess.
"Disperse! Spread out! "
The officers shouted and ordered the soldiers to spread out in order to avoid being bombarded by the enemy. Hillo gritted his teeth and shouted with all his might, "Blood Wolf Knight, everyone attack! Assault! Take down the enemy's artillery! "
"Firearm Battalion, cover! Cover me! "
After giving a few orders in a row, Hillo followed the Blood Wolf Knight and charged forward. Artillery fire flickered, and the flames of explosions could be seen everywhere. Hillo's cavalry rushed through the balls of flames and headed straight for the opponent's artillery position. Their intentions could not be more obvious.
At this moment, a group of soldiers quickly stepped forward. They were in a group of two, each carrying some metal components. Hillo's eyelids twitched as he had a bad premonition. He saw that the enemy soldiers quickly put the metal parts together and formed a very rough gun. It was like combining three firearms together. On the strange gun with three barrels, there was actually a design like a circular wheel rotating shaft. He didn't know what it was for.
These strange guns looked very heavy, and Hillo saw that the soldiers in charge of lifting the strange guns were all very strong. Even so, it was very difficult for them to carry it. Hillo couldn't help but snicker. Even though such a gun was extremely powerful, it wasn't suitable for actual combat. But when he saw another soldier quickly set up the metal butt of his gun, Hillo's expression changed drastically. These gun butts were auxiliary equipment. Sure enough, after the two soldiers worked together to fix the strange gun to the butt of the gun, one of them installed a circular metal object on the gun and gave a thumbs up.
It was a gesture of readiness.
The soldier in charge of shooting laughed sinisterly. His big hand landed on the handle of the rotating shaft of the round wheel and began to spin.
Tong!
One of the barrels of the strange gun spat out flames, and then the barrel rotated. When the second barrel arrived in the middle, another deep gunshot rang out. Then, the three barrels rotated faster and faster, and the frequency of firing gradually increased. When dozens of such strange guns fired together, the continuous violent gunshots converged into a monotonous note that resounded throughout the battlefield!
Hillo's face was illuminated by the flames. His eyes widened as he watched the metal fire whips swept out from the strange guns in the enemy's position hit the Blood Wolf Knight's body and were whipped by the long whips of these flames. Whether it was the horse's harness or the armor on the Knight's body, they were easily torn apart. Then, flames and blood sprayed out from within, reflecting each other, painting a beautiful but fatal picture.
Compared to the terrifying firearms of the other party, the Flame Dragon Rifles used by their own firearm battalion were like children's toys. Even though the gunners were desperately shooting, hoping to suppress the opponent's firepower and provide cover for the Knight on their side. However, as a group of tall warriors surged out from behind the enemy archers and set up platinum shields, Hillo's previous arrangements were all in vain.
The bullets of the Flame Dragon Rifles that could pierce through armor nailed into the opponent's platinum shields only stirring up sparks, but they were unable to injure the warriors and firemen behind them. As a result, less than a hundred meters away from the enemy's position, more than half of the Blood Wolf Knight had already fallen on the charging path forever. This heavy number made it almost impossible for Hilo to breathe.
The Blood Wolf Knight had suffered heavy losses, not to mention the Blue Wolf infantry that was one level lower. The dispersed formation was undoubtedly the best countermeasure against the bombardment of artillery, but that was only for ordinary artillery. Under the bombardment of those artillery that fired at an astonishing frequency, there was no way to avoid the greatest losses unless the army was disbanded on the spot. Otherwise, it would be like this. Just as one fireball rose, another fireball had already blossomed impatiently, and the third cannonball was already in mid-air …
Artillery shells blossomed everywhere in Hilo's army like a rainstorm, and each flower of flames represented a different number of lives quietly lost.
War is always cruel.
Hillo no longer cared about praying.
The mercy of the benevolent god squeezed out a powerful roar from his chest. The Origin Energy flames around his body suddenly erupted, attracting the attention of the two flame whips. When the two flame whips crisscrossed towards him, Hillo had already soared into the sky. However, the warhorse he was sitting on didn't have the ability to do so and was struck by the two flame whips. The harness shattered, and the warhorse was hit by countless bullets in an instant, crying as it fell to the ground.
In midair, Hillo brandished his sword and swept out a half-moon-shaped sword qi towards the opposite shooting position. Within the range of the sword Qi, the shield-wielding warriors gathered in the middle like a tide. Then, the Origin Energy Tide of Shield Origin Energy flowed like water ripples. They merged together, forming a faint curtain of light that covered the warriors and firepower behind them. The sword Qi smashed into the light curtain, causing an explosion. The flames of the collision of the Origin Energy from both sides swept out in all directions, enveloping the surrounding space of more than ten meters.
After this massive explosion, Hilo watched in disbelief as the dozen or so shield-wielding warriors below fell to the ground. Blood flowed from their mouths and noses. Although their appearances were miserable, none of them were injured or killed. The injured warriors were quickly dragged to the rear by their companions, and a new group of warriors filled their original positions.
Before Hilo could attack again, two auras suddenly rose from the opponent's camp. One of them was as thick as iron, causing Hilo's cheeks to feel a faint pain. The other aura was extremely agile, giving off an elusive feeling. The soldiers in front of the enemy formation retreated from both sides, and a tall iron man suddenly rushed out from the formation. His body was shrouded in bloody light, and he dragged a rough warhammer wrapped in dark yellow lines in his hand. The hammer's body was like stone and iron. It was impossible to tell what kind of material it was made of, but one could feel a violent aura contained within it. It was as if he was in the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt, and that violent aura pounced towards him.
The other person dragged a faint figure and circled towards Hilo like a wisp of smoke. He was much faster than the hammer-wielding man, and in the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on him. A saber that flickered with a cold light was handed over to Hilo. Halfway through the saber, it had already transformed into millions of saber lights. The dense saber waves performed the momentum of the tides, engulfing Hilo within.
Hilo's eyes could no longer see anything else. All he could see were the saber shadows that filled the sky. He let out a long howl and poured his Origin Energy into the sword. The refined longsword instantly swallowed and spat out flames as it picked up the opponent's saber wave, immediately producing a series of clanging sounds of collisions. Just as he broke through his opponent's saber shadow, a loud roar shook his chest like thunder. However, he saw that the burly man from before had already rushed over. He swung his warhammer in front of him and swept it towards his chest with all his strength.
The warhammer brought with it a violent astral wind, causing him to howl uncontrollably. How could he receive such might head-on? When he dragged the sword back, he let the warhammer brush past him by a hair's breadth. He rubbed his body and leaned forward, pointing his sword at the burly man's throat. However, the figure in his eyes blurred. A man with a lazy smile on his face blocked the burly man's figure. The saber in his hand bounced up and picked up the middle of Xi Luo's sword, resolving the sword strike for his companion behind him.
Following that, the two of them entangled Hilo in a fierce battle. Their weapons were light and heavy, and their fighting styles were fast and slow, but they complemented each other. In terms of one-on-one combat, Hilo was more than a few notches higher than the two of them. However, under their joint efforts, they couldn't find any flaws in retreating. They could only continuously use their proud moves and hope to use their Origin Energy advantage to overwhelm the two opponents.
