Chapter 501: A city turned into a pit of fire

Views:

At the city gate, the results of the dragon's battle are very brilliant.

But when the dragon's breath attack was placed in the entire Iron Horse Grip town, the effect was not so exaggerated.

Grip of the Iron Horse is not a big town, but it is a town after all, 50,000 people are thrown in it, which seems like a lot, but in fact it is far from that crowded. Besides, there are only seven dragons in total. The dragon's breath is very strong, and the power of the dragon is also very strong, but it is impossible to cover the entire city with the dragon's breath.

Under such circumstances, the soldiers were not targets to stand still, they would flee, no matter how chaotic the escape was, they would always move. This also means that after the giant dragons turned their targets to the city, the results they could produce were not as good as those at the city gate.

In this short period of time, it seems that the coalition forces have suffered a lot of losses. Even the two top commanders of the coalition forces, Earl Sneijder and Earl Sade, both died in battle. However, despite this, the number of soldiers who were actually killed by the dragon's breath was not as many as imagined. Except for the thousands of people who were burned to death at the city gate, in the ensuing attack, the soldiers who were killed The soldiers burned to death may be less than half of the city gate.

But so what? Now, even if the gods are alive, they can never imagine reunifying the army in the city under such a blazing night sky.

Soldiers who have lost their unified command are no better than flies flying around.

Everyone, including Admiral Mars, can only control themselves, and it is absolutely impossible to restore the whole situation.

After Mars clearly realized this point, he didn't try meaninglessly. He tried his best to maintain the order of the Victorian Knights, and led the army to break out towards the north gate where no flames had yet been seen rising.

He has only one thought now: leave the city as soon as possible.

Along the way, there were a lot of broken soldiers, and a large number of soldiers even blocked the retreat of the Victorian Knights.

At the beginning, Mars was still in the mood to attribute these soldiers to the command, but later he found that doing so was a waste of time and the effect was not very good. So, in the end, when they met the broken soldiers blocking the way, they directly ordered the knights to scold and drive them away. Later, they didn't even bother to reprimand and drive them away. The elite knights simply galloped on their horses, and trampled to death those who stood in front and were too late to get out of the way.

The decision was cold, cruel, and unkind. After seeing the figure of the Victorian Knights, many of the coalition soldiers felt that they had found a savior, but what they ushered in was the cold iron hooves of the armored knights. It is a fellow robe who fought side by side, how could these Victorian knights do this.

No one would explain anything to the dead. What's more, after running around the city with his troops for a while, Mars felt that his decision was very wise: the north gate of the Iron Horse Grip was close at hand, and his troops, I am about to jump out of this city that is like a fire pit.

In Mars' view, the failure of the coalition forces is already inevitable. Now, the only goal he has in mind is to lead the Victorian knights to live. The thousand knights in his hands are one-third of the strength of the Victorian Knights. If they are buried here, it will be a very heavy blow to the entire kingdom. As the general of the kingdom, he would never allow this kind of thing to happen.

Even if this decision of his is known to the coalition forces in the future, it will definitely bring some diplomatic troubles to the kingdom - moreover, this trouble may not be small. But it doesn't matter, no matter how big the trouble is, it will be no more than the lives of a thousand Victorian knights.

At the northern city gate held by the iron horse, many coalition soldiers gathered. The soldiers were not stupid, of course they all knew that they had to escape from the city, the only way was to go through the city gate. The entire east gate has been melted down, and there are only three gates in the northwest and south that can walk. It is quite normal for some soldiers to gather at the north gate.

At this moment, in front of this city gate, there are at least three hundred soldiers crowded together. They scrambled to escape from the city gate without any organizational discipline at all.

One thing is obvious, everyone wants to leave the city earlier, everyone is pushing forward, but this will make it difficult for everyone to pass quickly. The entire city gate was already crowded into a pot of porridge, and the efficiency of leaving the city became extremely low.

Many people can see this, but so what? Honestly line up? Then never think about leaving the city, and others will rush ahead of you in no time.

Several coalition officers shouted loudly among the soldiers, trying to restore order. They knew that the current situation must be the worst. They wanted to change it, but they couldn't do anything—God, at this time, how could the soldiers follow the officer's orders at will? A few school officials tore their throats, even if they slashed people with knives, there was no way to restore discipline.

After all, even some small captains have begun to lose discipline and keep pushing outside.

It was under such circumstances that Mars and his Victorian knights arrived.

The school officers were overjoyed. After seeing the flag of Admiral Mars, they hurried over, hoping that the top commander of the coalition forces could maintain the order at the city gate. However, when they approached and showed their military ranks, they found that no one paid attention to them at all.

All the Victorian knights only focused on riding their horses forward. Of course, they are not like those ordinary soldiers, who are swarming in a swarm, but lined up quite orderly. No one paid any attention to those officers, no matter how much they talked, it was useless.

These officers didn't understand at first, but when they looked at the knights, who were about to rush into the crowd, they didn't show any signs of losing, they understood what these knights wanted to do.

A Florentine with the rank of lieutenant colonel shouted with a pale face, "No! You can't do this!"

However, the only response to him was the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground. He watched helplessly as thousands of Victorian knights rushed into the crowded coalition soldiers in a tight formation as if they were attacking the enemy.

The scene was extremely tragic!

Those coalition soldiers who were crowded and wanted to leave the city never thought that there would be such an army that would 'kill' them from behind. They were completely caught off guard. The soldiers who first came into contact with the Victorian knights were all knocked over by the horses and trampled to death without exception.

Curses and screams ensued. These soldiers became flustered instantly, but soon came out with blood and courage: no one wanted to die, especially at the hands of their own people. These Victorian knights who were clearly killing them were so arrogant, these soldiers would not lie obediently on the ground and let others trample on them.

Cannibalism begins.

But it doesn't work. Even if these coalition soldiers formed a meticulous formation, under the unified command of the best commander, facing the group charge of the Victorian Knights, they would only end in defeat, not to mention that they are still in an extremely chaotic situation. In the state, it was only after being rushed in by others that it reacted.

Under such circumstances, the scattered coalition soldiers had no way to stop the pace of the Victorian knights.

Soon, within three minutes, all the soldiers blocked inside the north gate were either hacked to death or trampled to death by war horses. Only some of them who were a little wiser and hid aside were saved. a life.

Admiral Mars, who was in the center of the formation of the Knights, had a cold expression on his face. All the orders were issued by him personally, and he would not estimate the lives of the Florentines and Pudris at all. Leaving the city as soon as possible is the most important thing.

However, after a while, these Victorian knights were punished while they were still in the process of passing through the city gate.

They attracted the attention of two giant dragons.

The reason for such a punishment may be because Mars is too cruel to do things, even God can't see him; of course, the most likely reason is that there are too many people gathered at the north gate.

Two dragon breaths descended from the sky.

Mars' face darkened to the extreme. The individual strength of the Victorian knights is very strong. Even if they are covered by the dragon's breath, considering the equipment level of the knights and their personal strength, they should not be sprayed by the dragon's breath like ordinary coalition soldiers. A lot of people will die. If you are directly hit by the dragon's breath, you will definitely die; but if you are only contaminated with a little bit, you will not be sure to die.

However, in spite of this, in order to leave the city, the current Victorian Knights maintain a very dense formation, which is not conducive to avoiding the attack of the dragon's breath in the sky. If the green flame is allowed to cover it down, the loss will become very huge.

Mars did not accept such a result. He drew out the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Riding his horse forward, he met one of the dragon's breaths.

At the place where the dragon's breath was scheduled to fall, the admiral from the Kingdom of Victoria burst out a golden light! His body rose directly from the horse like this, and the long sword in his hand flashed with an extremely intense holy light, and directly slashed at one of the dragon's breaths.

Admiral Mars is also a paladin with sixteen professional levels!

Under the sword, the holy light dimmed, and Mars himself was a little embarrassed by the green dragon flames. But no matter what, this dragon's breath, which was the most threatening to his army, was completely resisted by him alone.

As for the other one, it still fell. However, this dragon's breath does not cover a large crowd. Moreover, the Victorian knights were not lambs to be slaughtered. Within the area covered by the dragon's breath, twenty or thirty knights activated the power of the Holy Light of War at the same time. The combined power of these knights is not small. Although in the end it was still not able to completely resist the power of Long Yan, but when the dragon's breath landed, both the range and intensity of the flame had been greatly weakened.

This time the dragon's raid did not look very good. The two green dragons fought together, under one round of exhalation, less than ten knights were burned to death, and only five or six were injured. Some of the other knights who were affected were at most a little listless, but they were still alive. Running wildly.

The two green dragons were very unhappy.

After the Battle of the Grip of the Iron Horse started and the Green Dragons arrived, every time they breathed out, at least dozens, or even hundreds of lives were taken away. It has never been born before, and the two giant dragons exerted their strength together, and they only killed less than ten people.

However, these green dragons are also a little tired. It has been more than half an hour since the war started. For more than half an hour, the seven-headed dragon kept setting fire to the city. It is true that dragons are powerful, but there are limits. Things like dragon's breath can't be sprayed out infinitely.

In fact, the frequency of the giant dragon that is still raging in the city is not as high as it was when the battle just started, and everyone is very tired.

However, although the dragon's breath is not very easy to continue to spray, the dragon's Lilang is more than just that. Together with the tail, these huge monsters with a length of 30 to 40 meters are themselves the ultimate fighting bodies in this world. Even if they don't rely on dragon's breath or dragon magic, they are still the best fighters in this world if they only use their body, the fighting skills that are inherited from the dragon blood and are exclusive to giant dragons.

Their huge size, impressive agility and strength all endow them with powerful combat effectiveness.

Under the situation that it is not easy to continue to use the dragon's breath, the two enraged dragons intend to use their powerful melee ability to teach this group of knights—especially the commander among these knights, who is very angry. Hate.

However, their thoughts were finally stopped by the dragon knight sitting on the straddle.

Dragons don't need dragon riders to help them fight, they're not even mounts—and not many people can use dragons as mounts. The so-called dragon knight is just a role equipped on the giant dragon to complete the commander's combat order.

Their relationship with the giant dragon was pretty good. Under their comfort, the irritable green dragons finally restrained their aggressive character and did not really jump down.

Mars felt a little regretful. He had seen before that the two green dragons meant to come down. If the two green dragons really dared to come down, he wouldn't mind going into battle himself and leading the Victorian knights to complete a dragon slaying feat.

However, it didn't take long for him to regret that a huge crisis had arrived—in the formation of the Victorian Knights fleeing north, dozens of azure arcane doors suddenly appeared!
