Up until now, the Third Legion's Black Armored Army had suffered more than 3,000 casualties. Nearly one-third of the soldiers had died under the city walls. This was a very frightening number.
For a normal army, a loss of more than 20% would be considered a major defeat. If the death toll exceeded 30%, it would be considered a crushing defeat. As long as the commander was a normal person, he would definitely choose to retreat. Even if he didn't retreat, the emergence of deserters would be unstoppable, and morale would plummet.
However, the current commander, Marshall Lawson, wasn't a normal person. His consciousness and reason had been completely controlled by Marcus. There were no problems with his daily life, training, and conversation. However, he had no way to command a battle, which required improvisation.
The only thing he could do was to comply with Girard's order and flatten Ellington with 10,000 troops. If Castle Kasparmi was in his way, he would break through Castle Kasparmi.
Attack!
Attack!
Attack again!
Marshall stared at the battlefield sand table with a stupefied expression, not reacting at all.
The sand table was made according to their instincts, but after it was made, it became a decoration.
"Attack … Break through the city … Castle Kasparmi … Ellington … Lord God … Eternal glory …"
Marshall muttered to himself. Without a clear consciousness, this was one of the drawbacks of Marcus' mind control. The farther he was from the target, the more retarded the people under his control would be.
Elsa quickly ran on the city walls. Then, with a twist of her body, she grabbed the huge warhammer and jumped high into the air. Like a meteor, she fell on the shoulder of the war behemoth!
"Crack!" The war behemoth's shoulder blade cracked!
"Awooo —"
The war behemoth raised its hand and slapped the shoulder. Elsa quickly ran to the other side, then —
"Go to hell!"
She twisted her slim waist and swung the huge warhammer with both hands. The warhammer whistled as it ruthlessly smashed into the war behemoth's face!
"Bang!"
The war behemoth's head exploded. Its skull, blood, and brain matter burst out. It didn't even have time to swing its fist before its huge body fell down with a loud bang, killing a group of Black Armored Army soldiers.
"Phew! This is the last one! "
Elsa heaved a sigh of relief after landing on the ground. The five War Beasts had all been killed.
However, in the next moment, she was surrounded by a swarm of Black Armored Soldiers. Their swords and sabers, gleaming with cold light, came slashing towards her!
"You guys … are underestimating me!"
Elsa grabbed her war hammer and spun it around. The huge war hammer carried a terrifying force and sent the surrounding Black Armored Army flying!
"It's time!"
At this time, Tang En suddenly stood up. All the siege weapons were destroyed, and the war beasts were dead. The Third Army had no way to break through the city walls. If they continued to defend, Ellington's soldiers would not gain any combat experience.
"It's time to take the initiative."
"What?! Are you crazy?! "
Aurelia turned pale with fright. "Now that we have the stronghold, victory is already within our grasp. Why do we have to take the initiative to attack? Our numbers are less than half of theirs! "
Tang En shook his head. "Because I need elite warriors with rich combat experience."
So far, he had not directly participated in any of the battles. Why? Wasn't it because he wanted to give them a chance to gain experience? If he did, these people would not be able to play anymore. Even if there were tens of thousands of enemy soldiers, a single meteor would be enough to wipe them all out.
But the crux of the problem was that when the Chaos army arrived, he would be powerless. He would have to rely on everyone's strength.
Therefore, he had to bring these "smurfs" to gain experience so that they could grow as quickly as possible.
Aurelia immediately understood Tang En's intention. Fiona, who was beside her, was not surprised. She knew Tang En's habits very well.
He would do his best to cultivate the warriors' combat experience and courage.
"Depp, prepare to give the order. Everyone, attack!"
Tang En said calmly, "Don't worry about Castle Kasparmi."
Castle Kasparmi was not that important, but Tang En wanted to protect it. The Third Army would not be able to break through it.
He only needed to activate a large shield to protect the entire city.
Depp was stunned for a moment, but he accepted the order without hesitation. "Yes, sir! My Lord! "
"Attention! My Lord has ordered all troops to assemble! Abandon the defense! Open the gates! Go out and meet the enemy! "
"Attention! My Lord has ordered all troops to assemble! Abandon the defense! Open the gates! Go out and meet the enemy! "
"Attention! My Lord has ordered all troops to assemble! Abandon the defense! Open the gates! Go out and meet the enemy! "
With the help of Danny's wind magic, Depp's order echoed throughout Castle Kasparmi. When the soldiers on the city walls heard the order, they were all stunned. Then, their attitudes became polarized.
"Can we finally attack?! This is great! I'm dying of boredom! "
This was a veteran who had been fighting alongside Tang En. When he heard the order, he excitedly grabbed his weapon and went to assemble.
"What?! Are you crazy?! We are relying on the fortress and the city walls. We are already invincible. Why should we risk our lives?! "
This was a new recruit who had just joined the official combat force. He was still very timid when it came to direct combat.
But no matter what, the order had been given. Regardless of whether they were excited or timid, they all gathered at the gates. They sharpened their weapons and stared at the Black Armor Army outside with ferocious smiles.
"Go help Elsa."
Depp gestured. Kundal and a few of the stronger ones jumped down without hesitation. They then helped Elsa block the Black Armor Army's pursuit.
"Let me do it!"
Elsa rushed to the gates and threw down her warhammer. Then, she bent her knees and lifted the gates. As she lifted them, she muttered, "It's only been a few days, and I'm here to lift the gates again. Hey!"
With a soft shout, she lifted the gates. "Go!"
Castle Kasparmi was now Ellington's territory. She did not want to destroy this place.
"Yes, sir!"
Locke led the assembled Ellington soldiers and shouted as they charged towards the Black Armor Army outside the city.
In the blink of an eye, the black and white troops collided on the narrow mountain path. The clanging of swords rang throughout the battlefield. At the same time, there were some discordant sounds …
"Da da da —"
The fierce firepower of the assault rifles became even more ferocious at close range. After blocking the enemy's swords, the muzzle of the assault rifle was pushed into the enemy's helmet. Then, with a pull of the trigger, the fierce firepower would instantly turn the enemy's head into mush.
"Hahaha! Awesome!"
The soldiers of the machine gun squad held a sword in one hand and a gun in the other. It was as if they were invincible among the enemy.
Tang En nodded slightly. Although the style was a little strange, as long as the effect was good, he did not care about anything else.
"Fight me if you have the guts!"
On the other side, the style was even stranger. Locke held a high-tech magic pistol with a magic core in one hand and a refined cold longsword in the other. He arrogantly provoked the enemy.
In the face of the Black Armor Army's attack, Locke's counterattack was even sharper. He blocked the attack with one hand and used the other to throw fireballs at the enemy's face. In a matter of minutes, he killed a dozen Black Armor Army soldiers.
It had to be said that the Black Armor Army was tough and resilient, but their resistance to magic was too weak.
"Binding Arrows!"
Invisible wind elements turned into ropes and tied up the charging Black Armor Army soldiers, making them unable to move.
Then, the rangers drew their bows and nocked their arrows in unison. They gathered strong wind elements and shot out strong wind arrows. Arrows infused with wind elements were much more terrifying than bullets. They could even pierce through several enemies in a row.
As soon as the two sides started fighting, the Black Armor Army was utterly defeated. It was almost one-sided and crushed by the Ellington Guards.
Tang En lightly stomped his foot and circles of magic halos appeared instantly. The powerful magic halos made the soldiers completely excited. It was as if they had been injected with adrenaline. All of them roared and charged at the enemy. Some of them were even hot-blooded and unknowingly rushed too close to the front. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded.
Although the Black Armor Army was fierce and had been transformed by evil forces, the Ellington Guards were now all Prophets.
Releasing the tiger back to the mountain? Or the tiger out of the cage? It seemed that these were not enough to describe the ferocity of the Ellington Guards at the moment.
They were as excited as a group of bloodthirsty sharks that had finally smelled blood.
Tang En was very satisfied. The more ferocious these soldiers were, the greater their potential in the future.
However …
"It's still not enough."
Tang En was a little unsatisfied. If he could get Klotto's Heaven Breaker over now and do a high-altitude bombing, it would be even more exciting.
Although the Black Armor Army of the Third Legion had become stronger, they seemed to have become completely brainless. They did not know how to adapt at all. They were really too stupid.
However, in the face of such a large army, relying on small weapons was really too slow. Large-scale high-explosive bombs, missiles, RPGs, and tanks were the kings of the battlefield. In Prandal, it was naturally all kinds of large-scale map-level spells.
Tang En stroked his chin and stared at the stalemate on the battlefield that was slowly advancing.
If he wanted to further increase the power of weapons, in addition to the magic pistols that were currently being researched and the special bullets that were prepared for assault rifles, he could also consider shoulder-mounted RPGs.
The technical content of RPGs was relatively not very high. According to the current technical level of the Gnomes and Gnomes, they could definitely make them. Even Ellington could make similar products.
However, the effect of RPGs on the battlefield was very impressive. They were a very excellent weapon.
Not only RPGs, but also grenades could be considered. Not only physical steel grenades, but also magic crystal grenades were completely feasible.
With these weapons, in the face of such a large army, they could kill most of them in a single blow.
Tang En clapped his hands. It's settled then!
Just as Kaspermi Castle began to counterattack, on the other side, Alinx, Frank, who had disappeared for several months, finally appeared again.
