Tang En muttered to himself as he floated in the air above Kaspermi Castle. Even if he couldn't tell what elite soldiers were, he could now sense that the army in front of him was definitely not ordinary.
Quiet, too quiet.
What did it look like when ten thousand people appeared in his field of vision?
They were all over the mountains and plains, a dark mass. It could be said that everything in sight was occupied by them.
The plains at the foot of Kaspermi Castle had been completely occupied by the Third Legion. They maintained an extremely precise distance from each other, and during their march, their black standard armor didn't even make the slightest sound of collision. Every movement of theirs was synchronized.
Even the modern armies on Earth couldn't do this while marching.
The quiet army approached Kaspermi Castle, and only the dull and uniform sound of footsteps could be heard. Every time their feet landed, the whole earth trembled.
Looking at them, Tang En suddenly thought of the army that Lawrence had led to attack Ellington.
Tang En's heart sank. Sure enough, they were right. Even the Third Legion of the Empire had fallen into the enemy's control. This time, even if he wanted to slack off, he wouldn't be able to do so.
At this time, Tang En noticed that there were ten catapults following behind the Third Legion. From this, it could be seen that Girard attached great importance to Ellington.
However …
"Such a good opportunity to train the troops, it can't be destroyed by the catapults …"
Tang En muttered to himself. With a light snap of his fingers, the catapults below burst into flames with a boom. In the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes in the raging fire.
But what made people shudder was that even though the catapults were suddenly attacked and burned to ashes, the entire army was still silent. It was as if they hadn't noticed this at all and continued to move forward.
The soldiers responsible for pushing the catapults were only at a loss for a moment, and then very naturally integrated into the army.
There were no screams, no panic, no fear, nothing.
This was a zombie army that was already dead.
Even Tang En was now a little scared.
It was easy to kill a person silently. It was also easy to control a person. However, to control an army of tens of thousands of people and turn them into puppets without attracting the attention of others. It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
There was only one possibility — the Empire's Third Legion had been controlled from top to bottom for a very short period of time.
Far away, in a secret base.
"Oh …?"
Marcus suddenly closed one of his eyes, touched his forehead with his finger, and muttered to himself: "The trebuchet suddenly burned to ashes? It seemed that the Magicians had made their move. Interesting … But so what? "
He opened his eyes with an elegant smile on his face. "Ten thousand Divine Servants is more than enough to conquer the entire country. But it's really annoying. I wanted to use the remaining twenty thousand Divine Servants to have some fun, but I didn't expect that idiot to attack Taris … Did I go too far?"
On the side, another man with a gloomy face revealed a gloomy smile. "Too ruthless …? Not really … "
Marcus played with the ring on his finger and said with a smile, "Orica and Gradama disappeared after launching an attack, and they haven't returned to the Lord of God's side yet. They also didn't cooperate with the operation this time. When it's over, they will definitely be punished. What about you? Don't you plan to cooperate this time? Or do you have your own plan? Mr. Lasani, who is known as Despair? "
Lasani, the Snake of Despair, was ranked fifth among the Venerable Snakes of Darkness. Similar to Marcus, his combat power was not strong, but he had a very strange power. He could affect people's emotions and use the power of negative and negative emotions to make people fall into despair. Once negative emotions accumulated to a certain extent, they would not only destroy themselves, but also everything around them.
"This is your operation … I won't participate …" Lasani's hoarse voice sounded.
He stared at a piece of paper in his hand with a gloomy face. It was cut from the Tang Daily, and it was a picture of a resident of Ellington smiling like a flower.
A black flame gushed out from his palm, and the paper turned into dust in the blink of an eye. Lasani stood up, wrapped his body in a cloak, and then walked out of the door. "I will use my own method … to destroy Ellington …"
"Oh, oh, oh, still so cold …"
Marcus's eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule. He said to himself, "Let Despair devour Ellington? Not a bad idea, but … are you really not going to Ellington to die? "
There had been no news of Orica and Gradama. Although the rest of the Dark Serpent believed that they were still alive, Marcus knew very well that they were dead.
Only those who had personally been near Ellington would understand how dangerous Ellington was.
Various races lived there. Not to mention the inexplicable technological devices of the gnomes and goblins, the elite-level elemental creatures running everywhere made people not dare to underestimate them. Once those elemental creatures that were almost immune to physical damage went berserk, even the Divine Servants would suffer greatly.
In addition, there was that huge soul aura that made people tremble.
Just getting close to Ellington required all the courage, not to mention causing trouble there.
However, only Marcus could sense that soul aura, and he obviously had no intention of revealing this information to Lasani.
"Haha … Die … All of you go to hell … You have no meaning at all. The glory of the Divine Master only needs to be guarded by me alone, and the favor of the Divine Master only needs to be rewarded to me …"
Marcus very devoutly held up a pendant, knelt on the ground, and began to pray.
Inside the pendant was a strand of hair, a strand of hair given to him by Jassas, and he prayed as a treasure.
Caspar, Fort Meade.
"Everyone, get moving! Has the city gate's garrote been checked? Confirm it again! "
"Machine gun team in position. Confirm the status of the magazines and assault rifles. You will be the main force in this battle!"
"Are the archers in position? Everyone, check your quiver. Make sure you have at least twenty arrows! "
"Rangers in position below the watchtower. Confirm the special arrows again, especially the explosive arrows. Our enemies are huge this time. We can't afford to waste time and energy!"
"This is a defensive battle. We don't need the warriors to charge head-on. All warriors in position on the wall. I need a lot of falling stones, rolling logs, hot oil, and bombs!"
Depp stood on the wall and continuously gave out orders. Everyone was mobilized. The battle supplies were constantly being moved up the wall. The rails for the falling stones, rolling logs, and hot oil were all stretched out, ready to be used at any time.
As a mercenary, Locke, who had a wealth of combat experience, was of great value at this moment. He distributed everyone reasonably and arranged for everyone to stay where they should be. After his arrangements, the efficiency of the entire fortification operation increased by at least 10%.
"What about me?! What about me, what about me?! "
Since this wasn't a mobile battle, Elsa, who had boundless strength, had no room to display her strength. She ran left and right, jumping up and down anxiously.
"If it's Elsa …" Locke hesitated.
He pointed at the wall and said, "Sure enough, it's better to defend on the wall. If it's Elsa, she can easily throw the falling stones, right? They're quite powerful. "
"Okay!"
Elsa happily accepted the arrangement and ran up the wall.
However, before Elsa could gain a foothold, the Third Legion had already launched an attack!
"Fire! Arrows! "
A rain of arrows whistled down from the sky. The densely packed arrows covered the entire sky. It was a hair-raising sight.
"Shields up!"
Depp shouted. "Archers, counterattack!"
"But —"
The captain of the archers from Kasparmi Castle hid behind cover. He shouted in despair, "They're still far away. They're out of range! There's nothing we can do! "
Even though Kasparmi Castle was on high ground, the Third Legion was still a thousand meters away. If the archers were to shoot with the wind, they would only be able to reach about five hundred meters. There was no way they could reach a thousand meters!
Depp's heart skipped a beat. It was only now that he realized that they were still out of range. How did the arrows reach them?
A thousand meters?
Archers shooting high?
What a joke!
"They're not ordinary people. Give it your all!"
After three rounds of arrows, Tang En's voice echoed in the air above Kasparmi Castle. "Kill them all, no matter the cost!"
He then stuffed the soul gem into Nola's hands. "Continue to help collect souls."
"You really know how to use people!"
Nora pouted and disappeared without a trace with a whoosh.
Danny shouted, "Did you hear that? The Lord said, no matter the cost! "
The rangers beside him laughed. "Yes, we heard that!"
Danny exchanged glances with them, grinned, and said, "Let's let Sir Overlord experience the power of us rangers! Prepare the explosive arrows! Four consecutive shots! "
After the rain of arrows, the rangers instantly appeared on top of the castle wall. They stood fearlessly above the bunker and drew their bows, nocking four expensive explosive arrows.
"Gift: Eagle Eye!"
"Blessing of the Wind!"
"Hurricane Power!"
"Target enemy, fire at will — shoot!"
Following Danny's command, the rangers instantly shot out the first wave of arrows. After receiving the blessing of the wind and the power of the hurricane, the range of the arrows reached an astonishing distance of over 2,000 meters, completely covering the area of the Black Armor Army.
What made Danny and the others even less worried was that due to the sheer number of enemies, they did not even need to aim. They could shoot randomly without missing a target.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosive arrows landed among the enemy and immediately set off a series of shocking explosions.
"F * ck … A bunch of wastrels …"
Tang En slapped his forehead and almost vomited blood. This round of arrows had cost tens of thousands of gold coins.
He said no matter the cost, but who was the happiest?
Obviously, it was Danny and the others. These rangers were burning gold coins by shooting arrows!
However, with the production of special ammunition in the future, the machine gun squad would soon replace them as the biggest spender.
At this moment, everyone on the castle wall was suddenly enveloped by a shadow …
