Samoel's sweet dream didn't last long, and the noise in the middle of the night woke him up suddenly. It seems that someone set fire in the city, Samoel frowned, it must be the unyielding guys of Dark Moon, is it really endless? Do you really think you can take back the town of Mordor under the garrison of the army
"General!" Lieutenant General Liers rushed to report: "Many places in the town were on fire, and a large amount of poisonous fog appeared near the barracks. Many soldiers were poisoned."
"Damn it!" Samoel knew that it must be the enemy of Dark Moon again. These enemies are not the opponents of the army, but this kind of harassment tactics is indeed annoying. It seems that there are still many enemy troops left in the town spy.
"I have sent people to put out the fire and strengthen the guards, but the poisoned soldiers are very troublesome, and the general antidote doesn't work! Only mana can barely contain it, but we have very few magicians, and most of these poisoned people are from two territories. Soldiers of…”
"Let the magician rescue the soldiers of our own legion first!" Samoel felt a little relieved when he heard that few of the Hades Legion were poisoned.
"Understood, General!"
Liers responded and was about to leave when a soldier came to report in a hurry: "General, a large group of troops were found in the wilderness south of the town, and they seem to be the main force of the enemy army!"
In the past few days, Samoel has been angered by Dark Moon's continuous harassment tactics. He was worried that he would not be able to hit the opponent's sore spot. When he heard the main force of the enemy coming, he immediately waved his fist: "Get ready to meet the enemy immediately!"
Samoel urgently assembled the army and rushed to the southern wasteland. Sure enough, the enemy army was far from the original sporadic squad. From the densely packed torches, there were at least tens of thousands of people. However, compared with Samoel's military strength, it is still far behind.
The Dark Moon Army had obviously come prepared. Seeing Samoel's army arriving, before they could get close, a rain of arrows burst through the sky. Samoel had seen the ultra-long range of the enemy's bow and arrow a few times before, and he was not unprepared. With an order, several giant shields in the front row were propped up, and the infantry behind all raised their round shields in unison. Of course, the coverage of this kind of defense is limited after all, and it is difficult to see the arrows clearly in the dark. After a round of arrow rain, many soldiers still fell, but the killing effect has been weakened a lot compared with the previous raids.
The high-ranking archers in the Demon Realm have a three-stage continuous shooting tactic, and the archers are divided into three teams to design in turn. Samoel silently calculated the gap between bow and arrow firing, and immediately ordered the front army to charge before the opponent's next round of three-stage shooting began.
However, when the soldiers rushed towards the enemy bravely under the rain of arrows, there was a sudden deafening explosion on the ground, and the soldiers within the range were flying with broken limbs, which was horrible.
"Damn it! It's a magic dark thunder!" Samoel couldn't help cursing, and finally understood why the enemy army came to the wilderness early in the morning but didn't attack for a long time. It should be a dark thunder that was arranged not long ago.
After this pause, the rain of arrows began to pour down again.
"Halt Snake Legion, don't mess up! Keep the formation!" Samoel shouted, "The Second Army and the Third Army attack!"
The Second Legion and the Third Legion are the armies of two lords, and one of the lords couldn't help but said: "General, the magic dark thunder is too powerful, I think we should find another way..."
Before he finished speaking, he was enveloped by a murderous aura, and Samoel's eyes were bloodshot: "If you dare to fight before the battle, I will cut off your head right now!"
In desperation, the two lords had no choice but to drive forward. After paying a certain price, they finally used cannon fodder to fill the magic dark mine. It's just that the lethality is no longer as strong as before, and the Hades Legion, which has shortened the distance, also started to shoot arrows, causing certain casualties.
Samuel drew out his long sword and was about to order the whole army to charge, when suddenly a soldier rode his horse to report: "No! General, there are suddenly a large number of enemy cavalry in the town of Mordor, the barracks were attacked, and all the rations were burned. Already!"
"What?" Samoel was startled and angry: "You trash!"
Lieutenant General Liers was also horrified: "Didn't the Dark Moon Army be driven out of Mordor by us before? Where did this large number of cavalry come from?"
Samoel didn't know that during the days when Mordor was occupied, various organs and secret teleportation points had been arranged. In the southern wilderness, a raid was launched and food and grass were burned.
Logistics supply is an indispensable factor for the army. Although some emergency food is placed in a batch of space equipment of the quartermaster, it is only a drop in the bucket for an army of nearly 100,000. When the soldiers heard the news, they rushed There was a commotion.
At this time, the rear of the imperial capital's army suddenly became turbulent, as if it had been attacked by some kind of surprise.
"It's the enemy's cavalry!"
"careful!"
I saw a group of fast-moving troops appearing behind the imperial army. The powerful mobility and impact of the cavalry were fully displayed on this plain terrain, and the rear formation was smashed to pieces.
"Surround them!" Samuel yelled, "All cavalrymen, follow me!"
The Underworld Snake Legion is mainly infantry, and there are also thousands of cavalry. Under the leadership of Samoel, they rushed towards the dark moon cavalry.
Samoel, who took the lead, showed great strength, with a long knife in his hand like the wind, and every time he swung his body, the enemy cavalry was chopped into two pieces, including man and horse.
However, only a few were beheaded by Samoel. This group of dark moon cavalry was of high quality and did not love to fight. Instead, they made full use of the speed advantage of their mounts and geographical advantages. The cavalry of Hades Snake still couldn't stop it.
Dark Moon's cavalry is so strong!
Samoel was secretly startled, and immediately found that although these cavalrymen were covered with cloaks, the scimitars and round shields in their hands looked familiar, as if they belonged to a certain organization.
But Samoel didn't think much about it, because the leader of the Dark Moon Cavalry, a masked man also wearing a cloak, had already rushed towards him.
The cloaked man waved the long sword in his hand, and a mass of black flame roared out. The soldiers of the Hades Legion along the way were instantly reduced to ashes before they approached.
"Black Flame!" Samuel felt that the opponent's power was of the same level as his own, and flew up from the horse, his purple eyes suddenly became one black and one white, and the long knife was also covered with a layer of black flames. He slashed towards the opponent's Hei Yan, his strike was very fast, the Hei Yan was split into several pieces in the blink of an eye, and disappeared without a trace.
With Samoel's jump, he has already narrowed the distance to the man, and the man did not show any weakness, and flew up from his horse to meet him.
At the moment when the two figures were about to intersect, Samoel's hand suddenly doubled in size, turning into a long-handled sword. This change was extremely sudden, which meant that the man automatically sent his neck to the blade. Samoel had defeated many powerful enemies by relying on this move.
To Samoel's surprise, the man seemed to be very familiar with him, and had already understood this move, and a large square shield appeared in his hand. This "extended" knife passed over the square shield, drawing a stream of black sparks, leaving a shallow scratch on the shield, unable to cause damage, but the long sword slanted along the knife like lightning. superior.
Samoel was terrified and tried his best to dodge, but he was half a beat too late. A deep blood groove was drawn on the armor of his arm. The nearby armor melted due to the high temperature of the black flame, and he fell into the flesh and blood. He couldn't help the pain. roared.
Samoel's heart was shocked. He was very familiar with this move. In the competition in front of the Palace of the Fallen Angels, under the watchful eyes of the Obsidian Regent, he was taken the lead by an opponent using the same move. Machine, and finally failed miserably.
Not only was it an individual competition, but he was defeated by this person again in the subsequent legion martial arts competition. Since then, he has held a grudge against this opponent and has made things difficult for him everywhere.
"It's you!"
Thinking of this, Samoel suddenly realized—the Lucifer royal family in the middle of the Demon Emperor, those powerful cavalry, the familiar round shield and scimitar...it was that person!
During this daze, the other party's long sword braving black flames had already struck at his chest, but before the long sword touched Samuel, his figure suddenly retreated violently, and he opened a distance vigilantly. It turned out that there was already an extra person in the air in front of Samoel, and it was the demon emperor Zeta of the elder family who accompanied him to protect him.
The power of Zeta locked the cloaked leader firmly, and the murderous aura swept away. Under normal circumstances, Zeta is only responsible for protecting Samoel's personal safety, and is not assigned by him, but right now Zeta wants to make a move—Dark Moon's cavalry has exerted a very powerful attack power, and the Hades Legion temporarily It can't be taken, if this cloaked leader is beheaded, it should have the effect of deterring the enemy.
"Nesta!"
Samoel yelled, and his red eyes fixed on the leader of the cloaked man.
Zeta couldn't help being taken aback, this enemy is Nesta, the head of the Phantom Legion? Isn't Nesta trapped in the Blood Mist Valley by the dark moon army waiting for rescue? How can it be…
The cloaked man was slightly startled, but said nothing. Zeta was about to capture the cloaked man to see what happened, when suddenly he frowned, and saw the flames blazing, and a figure wrapped in flames appeared out of thin air, punching him.
Zeta felt the terror of the strength of the opponent's fist, and did not dare to be negligent. He had an extra black magic wand in his hand, and a trace of cold air came out, condensing into a fist of ice, and volleyed to meet it.
The two intersections were not as earth-shattering as imagined, just a muffled sound, but the spreading powerful force field made everything around them frantically repelled, even Samoel and the cloaked leader. Demon emperor level powerhouses are no exception, some of the weaker ones are turned into ashes, while others are scattered into ice crystals and dissipated.
"Vaum. Toro!" Zeta snorted coldly as he looked at the figure in the flames, "You really turned to Dark Moon! The face of the Toro family, including our entire elder family, has been completely humiliated by you! "
Waum was one of the Devil Emperor Assassins who snatched the Devil Fruit at the Dark Moon Auction back then. After being captured, he surrendered. Now he is recognized by Devil Emperor Zeta, who is also a member of the elder family at a glance.
"Go!" Vaum ignored Zeta's questioning, and just shouted at the cloaked leader behind him.
The leader immediately got on his horse and blew a kind of horn. Many cavalry suddenly had a dark red light on them, and their speed suddenly increased. Blocked, merged with the dark moon army, and quickly evacuated away.
"Phantom charge!" Samoel said through gritted teeth, his knuckles holding the long knife turned white.
Just as Zeta was about to stop it, the flames on Vaum's body exploded, and a large area of meteor-like flames sprayed towards Zeta. If Zeta dodged, Samoel behind him would be affected by this terrifying attack. In desperation, he had no choice but to wave his magic wand, and several intertwined cold air wove into a big net, and the flames crashed into the black net, making a sizzling sound, and soon, the power of the two sides canceled each other out.
Waumuyi and Zeta exchanged a few blows, and then took advantage of the loophole and flew back, and soon disappeared into the night sky. Zeta didn't chase after him, showing a pensive look on his face. Vaum's original strength was inferior to him, but now he is evenly matched. It seems that after taking refuge in Dark Moon, his strength has increased a lot due to some reasons.
On the other side, Samoel led his troops to pursue the Dark Moon Army for a while. Seeing that the enemy was getting farther and farther away, and he didn't know if there were other ambushes in the dark night, he had to stop resentfully.
This time the imperial army suffered a great loss, the casualties were far higher than the enemy's. Even the rations were burned by the enemy's cavalry raid, and Samoel, who returned to Mordor, was furious.
"Are you sure that the one leading the cavalry is Nesta?"
"Master Zeta, I can be sure!" Samoel said with certainty: "Although he is wearing a cloak, I am very familiar with his sword skills, as well as the unique phantom charge skills of the Phantom Legion and the enemy The equipment left by the corpse... the request for help from the Bloodmist Valley must be a huge conspiracy."
Zeta pondered and said: "This matter is not trivial, we should not act rashly for the time being, we must immediately report to His Royal Highness the Regent, and His Royal Highness will make a decision."
Samoel nodded, and Lieutenant General Liers said, "The military rations are in short supply now, so even if we stay put, it will be difficult to maintain."
"It doesn't matter, we can expropriate from the town of Mordor!" Samoel sneered: "We helped these townspeople drive away the invaders from the Dark Moon, and it stands to reason that they should also pay you! Go find that man now." The mayor of the old guy, ask him to hand over the food, if it is not enough, take the soldiers from house to house and collect from all the townspeople! Those who dare to resist will be punished as dark moon spies!"
"yes!"
In the next few days, the town of Mordor was full of complaints. In addition to forcibly collecting food, many soldiers also committed a lot of atrocities such as rape and robbery. The so-called method of boosting morale, as for the livelihood of the people in Chiyou Territory, has nothing to do with him.
Compared with these imperial soldiers who came to "aid", the former Dark Moon Army did not commit any crimes. In the hearts of the townspeople, the former were more like invaders.
The days of fear were finally temporarily over, because Samoel had received the order from Hei Yao to attack the Blood Mist Valley in the Black Mountain Forest and wipe out all the Dark Moon Army in Chiyou. As for Nesta, who was suspected of defecting to the enemy, Obsidian's request was to capture him alive!
Samoel immediately led his army to leave the town of Mordor and head south towards the Black Mountain forest.
