"Kordak!!!" Vera couldn't help but scream when she saw this scene.
"Captain!" Heizi was also startled.
"Boss!" Rondo rushed over with red eyes. He finally knew Kordak's intention.
The spells released by this mage team are too great a threat to the soldiers of the entire independent brigade. If there is no way to destroy this mage team, then the defeat of the independent brigade is only a matter of time. This mage team must be dealt with!
Kordak thought for a long time, and the only solution was to find someone to resist this wave of spells. There is no doubt that the most suitable candidate is myself. He is a high-level warrior who can form fighting spirit armor to resist magic damage. He has a giant lava blade, and it is almost impossible for ordinary fire spells to cause damage to him. More importantly, he is the captain. He is not only responsible for commanding his men, but also for protecting them.
Kordak believes that those who just hide behind their subordinates and give orders are just cowards, not commanders or leaders. Therefore, he was always at the front in the past few months, and he is the same today.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and Kordak still stood tall among the heavily surrounded Stoker people. Even though his hair became brown and messy, even though his armor became tattered, even though his right hand holding the weapon was trembling slightly. But none of the Hawke Empire soldiers felt that Kordak was embarrassed. When they looked at their captain, their eyes only had incomparable relief and almost fanatical reverence.
"Not dead yet?" The commander of the Stoke Empire's eyelids twitched. He then recalled that the weapon in Kordak's hand was the weapon of the original empire general Dotern. With that weapon around, it would be almost impossible for the fireball to hurt him!
"Then do it again!" The commander gritted his teeth and took a few steps forward, then began to chant a curse in a low voice. This guy turned out to be a mage!
As these obscure syllables were uttered, green light emitted from the mage's hands. The color of this light is a bit strange, but precisely because of the strange color, it has also become a symbol of this spell. This spell is the dissociation spell!
"Kordak!" The sharp-eyed Vera was the first to notice the emerald green light. She screamed as a reminder while setting her bow and arrow in an attempt to interfere with the mage's spellcasting.
But even if he was holding an enchanted longbow, the distance between the two of them was far beyond his shooting range. Vera's arrow only pierced the neck of a Stoker soldier on the way, but it was still a long way from hurting the mage.
"Captain!" Ryze, the mage accompanying the team, also hurriedly warned.
In comparison, his companion Mike is much smarter. He did not make any more meaningless shouts, but recited the incantation calmly. Because of the lower level of the spell, Mike's protective energy damage reached Kordak one step ahead of his opponent.
"Go away!" Kordak kicked away Rondo, who was about to pounce on him as a human shield. Then the green light of the dissociation technique shot directly into his abdomen.
Mike's magic shield lit up with a light blue light, and it and the magical energy of the dissociation technique constantly offset each other. But protecting energy damage is only a third-level spell after all. How can the magic contained in it be compared with the sixth-level spell dissociation
So half a second later, the green light broke through the protective shield and shot towards Kordak's fighting spirit armor.
Kordak raised his fighting spirit to its peak in an instant, but this still could not stop the light of the dissociation technique. This spell broke through Kordak's fighting spirit armor in just an instant, and then left a smooth wound on his abdomen.
Fortunately, after destroying the two layers of defense, there was not much energy left in the dissociation technique. Therefore, it only wore away less than one centimeter of Kordak's abdominal muscles, but did not damage Kordak's internal organs.
Seeing this scene, Vera couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. When the dissociation technique was released, she was almost in despair. But now Kordak is just injured, which is a blessing among misfortunes.
But just when the light of the dissociation technique dissipated, another fireball flew over. Kordak was seriously injured and could only lift his giant lava blade to protect his chest and head.
This was the second blow from Stoker's commander. To be on the safe side, he immediately cast a fireball after the dissociation technique. At this time, he was pale due to excessive consumption of magic power, but the mage had a ferocious expression on his face. I don't believe you can survive such an attack!
boom!
The fireball exploded, and Kordak and other Stoker soldiers were thrown backwards by the violent blast wind.
"Boss!!!" Rondo sat on the ground because of Kordak's kick. At this time, he stood up and crawled to the ground, and then rushed towards Kordak again with red eyes.
"Brothers! Rescue the captain! Follow me!" Heizi raised his two-handed sword and launched a countercharge towards the Stoker.
"Damn the horse archers!" Eberron threw his longbow to the ground angrily, then grabbed a knight's gun from a knight beside him and rushed over.
Vera suppressed the grief in her heart. She did not rush to save Kordak like several others. Because close combat is not her strong point, and she is pitifully weak in mounted combat, and rushing forward now will only cause chaos.
Vera tried hard to control her arms, and then she calmly opened her bow and arrows, and two waves of gusts of arrows rained eight arrows that directly killed the eight Stoke people who tried to get close to Kordak.
Because the person she cherished was in danger, Vera also unleashed her potential. Not only was her archery skills incredibly accurate at this time, she even broke through the shackles of level 12 and reached level 13 in one fell swoop.
Rondo was the first to rush to Kordak's side. Because of Vera's remote support, Kordak was not injured by other soldiers after being knocked unconscious by the fireball. He took a cursory look and found that Kordak had only suffered burns in other places except for the serious injury on his abdomen.
"It seems there is hope!" Rondo no longer hesitated. He waved his giant sword and drove away the Stoker soldiers with a sweep.
But soon the Stoker soldiers came over again, and Rondo threw away his weapon in desperation. This blow directly cut four or five Stoker soldiers in half.
Rondo bought time by giving up his weapon and quickly picked up Kordak, then ran towards his camp without looking back.
At this time, Heizi and Eberron also came over with their warriors. The soldiers of the Independence Brigade all had red eyes and pounced on the Stoker soldiers like hungry wolves after seeing fresh meat.
Stoke's soldiers were obviously fearful. Their eyes were full of fear, and they panicked to defend themselves against the enemy's attack.
From the perspective of the soldiers of the Hawk Empire, Kordak, as the captain, was able to use his own body to resist the spells of the mage team. All they did was to reduce casualties for their subordinates. This approach would undoubtedly win the affection and respect of all the soldiers. But now that they saw Kordak being seriously injured and unconscious, their life and death were unknown, and naturally they all went crazy.
On the other hand, the commander of the Stoker Empire ignored the lives of his subordinates in order to kill Kordak. This approach undoubtedly chilled the hearts of all Stoker soldiers.
One is risking his own life for the sake of soldiers, and the other is not caring about the life and death of his subordinates for the sake of military exploits. The contrast in approach between the two commanders also led to a huge gap in morale among the soldiers.
Under the fierce offensive of the Hawke Empire soldiers, the southerners were quickly killed and fled in disarray.
…
"Huh?" Manhattan heard the earth-shattering cry of killing and couldn't help but asked, "Where is this sound coming from?"
"General, judging from the direction, it may be the voice from the No. 2 outpost in the west of Haichao City." The adjutant lowered his head and answered.
"Kordak's independent brigade?" Manhattan thought for a moment, then asked, "How is the battle situation now?"
"The situation is not optimistic." The adjutant looked at the battle report in his hand and said: "The 1st, 3rd and 4th outposts in the west have all encountered strong resistance from the Stoke people and seem to be unable to break through in a short period of time, while the second outpost has not yet been able to break through. There’s news.”
"I made a miscalculation." Manhattan frowned his silver eyebrows: "I didn't expect the Stoke people to be so determined to defend the city... If there is no progress..."
While Manhattan was still immersed in thought, a messenger ran in: "Report! A battle report came from the Kordak Independent Brigade!"
"Okay, you go down." The adjutant took the battle report and read it. Because Manhattan was thinking, he did not read it directly.
"How's the situation?" Manhattan asked after a while.
"The battle report came from Kordak. They have defeated the Stoke garrison who came out to fight. They are expected to occupy the second western outpost within two hours." The adjutant replied.
"Very good!" Manhattan perked up. He thought for more than ten seconds, and then said, "Let the brigades responsible for attacking Post 1, 3, and 4 use all their strength to hold back the enemy, and tell them that I don't want to attack Post 2." Stand on sight of any enemy reinforcements!”
"Yes!" the adjutant stood at attention and responded. Then he hesitated for a moment and then said: "General, there is one more thing in the battle report."
"Speak!" Manhattan seemed to be in a good mood at this time.
"Although the Kordak Independent Brigade has defeated the enemy defenders head-on, he himself was seriously injured and comatose." The adjutant continued.
"This kid! I knew something would happen sooner or later if he did this!" Manhattan jumped up immediately.
In terms of military level, a small officer like Kordak would not have been able to enter Manhattan's sight. However, due to his reputation as the strongest Reaper team in the empire and his special status as the eldest brother of Regnar, the Director of Military Intelligence, these two reasons caused Manhattan to pay some attention to Kordak.
Manhattan waved his hand: "Let Lanmire pass, this kid will not die as long as she is here!"
"Yes!" The adjutant took the order and left.
