Chapter 123: Escape
The extremely powerful and chaotic lightning and wind blasts turned all the East Continent coalition forces within its range into charcoal in the blink of an eye. The result of 2,000 lightning and wind blast magic scrolls exploding at the same time made everyone think that the end of the world had come.
Looking back, I saw many engineering teams exploring for oil on Earth. They would dig a deep hole in the ground, then throw in something they didn’t know whether it was explosives or not, and finally use a wire to detonate the explosives to confirm the situation underground.
Now, I just replaced the explosives with magic scrolls, and the wires with dense silver wires, and then used dense silver to connect a large number of magic scrolls in sequence, and finally used a large number of people to transmit magic power and detonate those magic scrolls. . . . .
Under the cover of the lightning and wind blast, there was no life on almost 1 square kilometer of land. All the heavy infantry, heavy cavalry, and a large number of magicians who entered that area were killed at once. Only those light infantry and a small number of magicians who were lucky enough not to be affected by the trap area were left standing there stupidly...
If our soldiers were shocked and terrified by the scene, mixed with a sense of victory, then the survivors of the Eastern Alliance were undoubtedly like they had met the devil. If there was no 1,200-meter distance between my army and them, then my 10,000 soldiers, with just their fists, could probably knock over 20,000 of the enemy's troops and make them roll on the ground.
"Soldiers, move forward immediately. Let us get rid of all the remaining scum. Let them know how miserable the consequences will be for offending us..." Restraining the immense joy in my heart, I immediately issued the order to attack.
After I gave the order, all the soldiers were stunned for a moment, then immediately mounted their horses with bows in hand, howling and charging towards the stunned East Road coalition forces. Excited, these two words fully expressed the current mood of my soldiers. Without sacrificing a single soldier, those powerful heavy cavalry and heavy infantry just disappeared, and the remaining light infantry were undoubtedly the best prey for these archers.
At this time, the East Continent coalition forces were in chaos. The scene before them reminded all the infantrymen of the ultimate mode of magic - forbidden spells. When they thought of this, all the surviving infantrymen immediately lost themselves in shock and fear. In their hearts, the only thought was, "We are just cannon fodder light infantry in the war. In front of those forbidden spell mages, even heavy infantry and heavy cavalry are so vulnerable, let alone ourselves?" So, when they thought of this, all the light infantrymen ran away in panic.
But at this time, the surviving magicians in the East Continent all knew that the magic before their eyes was not a so-called forbidden spell. At most, it could only be said that it was the result of a large-scale joint attack by magic forces. However, this situation still puzzled them. Before this magic appeared, they did not find any magic fluctuations in this range. Moreover, in their field of vision, it did not seem that a large number of magicians were ambushed within about 800 meters. How did the magic come about? This question immediately troubled them...
Although at this moment, the East Continental Alliance lost the main force of the army and most of the magicians due to the sudden attack, and even their commander was buried in the lightning and wind explosion. But my archers will not let them go. The thundering sound of horse hooves finally awakened the dazed survivors of the East Continental Alliance. But at this time, where should they escape? On one side are soldiers who have traveled a long distance on two legs and have now lost almost all their main forces, lost their commanders, and also lost all their morale. On the other side, it is a fast long-range attack force armed to the teeth, and now it is in high spirits, and it seems that it will not stop until all enemies are killed. The comparison between the two almost immediately determined the outcome of this war.
Riding on horses, he shot down the magicians one by one almost like shooting at targets, then quickly circled around the defeated light cavalry, and from time to time he easily shot and killed those light infantry who had left the team. . . . .
Soon, the hopeless light infantrymen finally chose to surrender after all the magicians were killed and they were surrounded. More than 8,000 intact Mocaster Empire light cavalrymen laid down their weapons, threw away their armor, knelt on the ground, and kept begging for mercy. . . . .
A battle that was previously thought to be a lost battle, in an unexpected flash of inspiration, I easily eliminated my opponent, which once again proved the great role of modern technology in my life in this world.
"Sir, what should we do with these soldiers? I'm afraid something might go wrong if we take them with us... After all, our own army has only more than 10,000 soldiers, while the number of surrendered soldiers has reached more than 8,000..." Looking at the densely packed surrendered soldiers in front of him, Matthew's face was full of worry.
"Hehe, we are going to enter the Maze Forest anyway, so we can ask them to build a camp and fortifications for us. Do you still think having more slaves is a bad thing? At least their presence will make our fortifications stronger.
Although we have repelled the East Continental Alliance, I cannot guarantee when they will come back to bite us. So I will let a few soldiers monitor the surrendered troops, and the rest of the troops will go out to collect the various supplies I need in preparation for a long-term war. At least we have to ensure that whoever enters the Maze Forest will be beaten first...
By then, we will build seven or eight lairs and seventeen or eighteen layers of fortifications. I don’t believe anyone will dare to come in and mess with us.” Looking at Matthew who was full of worry, and then at the surrendered soldiers who were tied together, a new idea popped up in my head...
If I came to this world, to this war-torn continent, what I can rely on is, except for my own brain and the wisdom I have gained from the predecessors on earth, there is really nothing I can rely on for the time being. . . . . . (To be continued)
