"Have the statistical results come out?" Kessler said in a deep voice. His mental state is not as good as that of Ancelotti, his hair is messy, and the delicate armor on his body is damaged in many places. The biggest scar was cut by Sect Master Mei Zong with a sword. Even if he was tyrannical, that sword could cut him in two.
"Come out. Marshal." The clerk's voice trembled.
"Say. I can hold on." Koestler's voice was completely hoarse. Days of fighting, constant fatigue and pressure have made the old man's vitality weaken.
"For five days in the war, our army has been attacking the city of Sfort for almost 120 hours non-stop. Although it has caused a lot of losses to the enemy, we have suffered heavy losses. There are a total of 14 The numbers of the entire legion disappeared completely, and the entire magician legion was annihilated. There are less than 700 members of the Scarlet Guard left. Four of the ten dragonriders other than you were killed and three were seriously injured, and only three remained in combat."
Every number is so shocking, every time the clerk utters a word, Koesler's hand will tremble.
"Give me detailed casualty figures."
"Yes. Including magicians, our army participated in this battle with a total of 450,000 troops. More than 178,000 people were killed, 14,000 people were seriously injured, and 96,000 people were slightly injured. The mount used as food The loss exceeded 100,000. The magician army was wiped out, and the remaining blood mages were less than half. The remaining combat power was less than half of the original. The loss of siege equipment was countless." The clerk almost gritted his teeth and said these things of. In five days, just five days, such a huge loss occurred. It can be seen how thrilling this battle is.
In the desperate situation, the Florians did not retreat. They launched wave after wave of onslaught. However, until now, they still failed to attack the city.
Ortega, the Chief of Staff of the Flora Army, said excitedly: "Master Marshal, what should we do now? It won't work if we continue like this. Our army has no supplies. There is not enough food and grass. Although soldiers can eat mounts, the dragons and the rest It is already difficult for the heavy cavalry mounts to exert their combat effectiveness without enough food. What's more, in addition to the dead, there are also many wounded in our army. But we have no medicines. If this continues, within two days, non-combat personnel will be reduced It will appear on a large scale. Marshal, you have to make a decision early."
Kessler suddenly drew out his saber and pointed it forward. "Food and grass are available in Sfort City.
drug. There are also in the city of Sifuerte. By this time, our army suffered heavy casualties. If the city still cannot be breached, then it will be a complete defeat strategically, and it will no longer be able to pose a threat to Milan on the Eastern Front. I think every general here knows that. Once Milan resists the attack launched by Landias, it will mean something to us Floro. For Landias. We are just tools at our disposal. Not nearly as much an ally as Popon was. When the time comes, no one will come to save us. For the future of Florida. We cannot retreat from this battle.
The blood of the soldiers has stained the earth red. Let us launch one last onslaught, unsuccessfully.
Then become benevolent. "
Koestler's voice became agitated again, however. After five days of war, none of his generals could maintain the same fighting spirit as him. Flora's army. The remaining Flo army, with a total combat power of less than 200,000, finally launched their last charge.
Ancelotti straightened his back. He is tired, but his spirit is extremely excited.
Even he himself did not think of it. Leading such a weak army can persist until now.
Five full days passed, and he watched one Milan warrior after another fall beside him, but in front of them, there were more fallen enemies. Foro's loss was great, but how could the Milan Eastern Army's loss be small? Woolen cloth? Now, at least half of the defenders on the top of the city come from the logistics supply troops brought by Jin Jin.
More than 80,000 people died in the regular army of the Milan Eastern Legion, and almost none of the rest were uninjured. The 100,000 people in logistical supplies have also been divided into several batches and put on the battlefield. as a rotation.
The biggest advantage of Sfort City lies in the supply. They have sufficient supplies.
Whether it is food, grass or medicine, let alone five days. Even five months is enough to last.
The dead soldiers left forever, but Ancelotti knew that after this battle, as long as those wounded soldiers stand up again, then they are veterans with enough combat experience. The Eastern Legion is no longer a weak force.
"Brother Ancelotti, the first batch of soldiers from my logistics supply has arrived again. After resting for half a day, they are all in good condition now. Seeing that we are about to successfully defend, the morale of the soldiers is very high " Jin came to Ancelotti with some excitement. After this battle on the verge of life and death, the relationship between everyone has become much closer.
Ancelotti nodded with a smile, "That's really great, Brother Jin, how long do you think this Florian can last?"
Jin Jin smiled coldly and said: "Although I don't know much about military affairs, I can tell from the number of cavalry on the other side that their logistical supplies are at the last juncture. Without supplies, I believe they can only last for three more days at most. I really don't know how Yinzhu managed to completely cut off the logistics supply line of the entire Floro army."
Ancelotti was taken aback, "What? Brother Jin, are you saying that the logistics supplies of the Florians were really cut off by Marshal Ye?"
Jin Jin sighed softly, "Although I don't know how many people came to Zither City this time, you have also seen that everyone who belongs to Zither City is a strong man who can count as a hundred. You should ask you about the specific situation later. Marshal Ye, I don't have much to say. Look, the Florians are coming up again, it seems that they still don't give up!"
That's right, as Jin said, the Fro army launched another charge, and it was also the last large-scale charge under the leadership of Fro's commander Kussler.
The siege equipment of the Foro army has been destroyed, and a large amount of broken garbage is piled up in front of Sfort City. Fro's army rushed forward, and first separated two legions to clean up the garbage, and the blood mages who followed immediately began to cast their bloodthirsty magic. After five days of fierce fighting, the state of these blood mages has also dropped a lot, and the blood mist they released is not as thick as before. .
Kessler and the only three remaining dragon riders flew in the midair, holding dragon guns, stepped down from the wind dragon and let out a continuous roar, throwing wind spells one after another towards the city.
The Milanese soldiers have long been accustomed to the attack of the Florians. Seeing that the opponent is attacking again, the Milanese soldiers at the top of the city immediately acted. Archers, spearmen, catapults, and all defensive weapons were put into battle immediately. among. With sufficient logistical supplies and a rotation rest system, the mental state of the Milan soldiers on the top of the city at this time is much better than that of the Floro soldiers.
Two hundred angry roars sounded at the same time, and almost at the same time, the roaring magic of two hundred claw druids had rendered the Milan warriors fighting on the entire city.
Flying arrows, throwing stones, like rain. The biggest advantage of Sfort City is that the logistics supplies are extremely sufficient. Although five days have passed, there are still plenty of arrows and stones in Sfort City. This is inseparable from the golden 100,000 logistics supply troops. Except for most of the excellent weapons and equipment transported to Dongfeng City from the Verona Logistics Supply Center, they were sent to Zither City, and the rest were brought here by Jin Jin.
Therefore, the weapons and supplies in the entire Sforte city are extremely complete, coupled with sufficient food and grass, so that the soldiers can always maintain high morale.
Battles are always ebb and flow. Every day that passes, the morale of the Floro army will drop a little bit, and the confidence of the Milanese soldiers who successfully defended the city will also increase a little bit. After five days, the morale of both sides Already swapped.
Among the Milan fighters at this time, who else remembers that he is a recruit? How about the Fro elite army? In their eyes, it wasn't so scary anymore, at least five days had passed and they still didn't have the ability to break through the city.
At the same time as the battle at the head of the city, under the city, two tall figures were sitting in a room less than 20 meters away from the city wall to practice under the guard of twenty Donglong warriors. It was Ming and Zi.
In the first day's battle, Ming relied on his incomparably powerful demigod-level strength to destroy a large number of enemies, which also caused a large amount of energy consumption.
And Zi's situation is similar to him. He used a whirlwind laser slash to drain all his strength. Therefore, in the previous five days of fighting, they did not become part of the fighting anymore, but just quietly here rest.
Although Ming consumed a lot, it was better than Zi being emptied. After five days, the energy in his body finally returned to normal. Slowly opened his eyes, Ming opened his arms, and stretched his body vigorously, the bones all over his body made a burst of explosion like firecrackers.
He could hear the shouts of killing outside very clearly, reaching the level of a demigod, no matter what kind of sense it was, it was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Ming stood up without any hesitation, glanced at Zi who was still in the cultivation state, walked out of the room slowly, and headed towards the city.
In the air, Kessler looked coldly at the battle situation below. The Milanese had become stronger than before. Arrows and stone throwing, which are not advanced, have caused huge casualties to the Flo army. Corpses keep appearing, and lives are gradually leaving. These are the sons of Flora. Seeing this scene with his own eyes made Kussler's heart ache like a knife, but what can he do? If you can't win the battle in front of you, then the blow to Foro will only be greater.
"Get ready, let's invite the people of Milan to taste the forbidden wind spell. I don't believe that those magicians in Milan still have the ability to block it."
This is not the first time that forbidden curses have appeared on the battlefield of this campaign. Like when Ming set off the ground, Zi's whirlwind laser slash and Ye Yinzhu's void sound blade, both of them were damage at the level of forbidden spells.
On the side of the Flor Kingdom, the only one who can really cast the forbidden spell is the Purple Star Dragon Rider, Marshal Flor Kossler. Of course, it wasn't him who activated the forbidden spell, but the elder of Wind Dragon City that he stepped down.
After many days of fighting, the physical exertion of the wind dragons is undoubtedly huge. Therefore, the power of a single giant dragon on Kussler's mount is no longer enough to activate a forbidden spell. After all, Fenglong is not a high-ranking dragon clan, even if it is an elder level, it cannot cast forbidden spells as easily as a silver dragon like Lisha. However, there are three other wind dragons here, and their addition has also turned the difficulty into reality.
The deep dragon language sounded in mid-air. This place is a position that neither magicians nor archers can attack in Sfort City.
The chanting of the four giant dragons at the same time immediately condensed the wind elements in the air. The condensation of wind elements is different from magic elements of other attributes. They appear continuously in a hovering state, and whether it is a magician who sings magic or a giant dragon, it is these hovering cores of wind elements. During the hovering, they borrow the power of these wind elements. Only by using your own energy as a guide can you emit powerful magic.
The wind in the air became more and more violent, and what Koesler wanted to cast was one of the most overbearing and large-scale forbidden spells among the forbidden spells of the wind system, relying on the simultaneous power of four wind dragons. At this point they can complete this terrifying magic. By the time. Nine huge tornadoes will appear at the head of Sfort City. The hurricane that is strong enough to sweep through all fortifications will bring devastating disaster to the people of Milan.
This is not the first time Koesler has activated the forbidden spell, and it is precisely because of the forbidden spell he activated. Only then did the magicians of the Eastern Legion suffer heavy losses. After the first battle, there were more than 200 magicians left in the original city. But without the help of the three powerhouses Ye Yinzhu, Zi and Ming, every time Kussler casts a forbidden spell, he can only rely on the magic defense shield jointly launched by these magicians to resist it. Although they successfully resisted the power of the forbidden curse several times, their mana was exhausted in the face of the terrifying power of the forbidden curse. The overdrawn magicians also left this world one by one.
However, they also used their own power to minimize the power of the forbidden curse, otherwise, they would really let a forbidden curse fall on the naked city of Sfort. That's thousands of casualties. the most important is. The forbidden spell is very likely to destroy the city wall. At that time, the Eastern Legion will really have no strength to resist the Floro army.
The last time Koestler cast the forbidden spell was two days ago. After two days of rest. His mount partner had already accumulated mana to a certain extent, and with the help of the other three wind dragons, he immediately raised his mana to the limit. Make the power of this large-scale forbidden spell reach its peak. .
The Milanese generals on the top of the city naturally saw the growing hurricane in the sky, and Ancelotti's face changed drastically. Of course, he knew what kind of state his magicians were in now. As one of the biggest attack output in this battle, the remaining 80 or so magicians are all deeply fatigued at this time, and the forbidden spell comes again, what power can they use to stop it? Launch the magic defense again, no matter whether they can stop the curse this time, the remaining 80 magicians will not be spared.
"It seems a little far away." Ancelotti was fighting in his heart, thinking urgently whether to let the magicians launch the final defense, a low voice rang in his ear.
When Ancelotti looked sideways, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the three-meter-tall giant had arrived at the top of the city at some point. Although five days have passed, but five days ago, the scene of the mountain giant Mina winning the three armies and blocking the enemy with the power of his arms has already been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Milan soldiers. Seeing his appearance, the city was filled with cheers.
In their eyes, Ming is almost a god-like existence.
Ancelotti noticed the growing hurricane in the sky, and Ming, who had just recovered his strength, naturally saw it too. With his beast strength, he could tell that this soldier had a large-scale wind spell. What he said was a bit far away, for his own lightning attack.
In order to control the overall situation and get out of the attack range of all Milan's attack methods, at this time, Kessler and his dragon riders were in the sky at a height of a thousand meters. Although Ming's one-eyed thunderbolt is powerful, the distance of a thousand meters is still a bit far.
"Mr. Ming, have you recovered?" Although Ancelotti knew that Ming was Ye Yinzhu's subordinate, he didn't dare to neglect him at all. He hurried forward to Ming's side and asked respectfully.
Ming smiled honestly, nodded, and said, "My body is fine. Is the marshal worried about those reptiles in the sky? Don't worry. Leave it to me."
While talking, the light in the bright eyes suddenly became stronger, and the two eyes gradually merged into the only one, and his single eye was restored. Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand and lightly wiped the one eye, and suddenly there was something more in his hand .
It was a pointed hammer. There was nothing strange about the pointed hammer. There was a faint layer of lightning light flowing on it, and the bursting energy fluctuations seemed to be suppressed by some kind of force.
For Ming's big hand, such a short-handled warhammer is like a toy in his hand. He weighed it lightly, and then looked up at the wind-attribute forbidden curse that was continuously condensing in the sky in the distance. Ming smiled coldly. , "It's been a long time since I let this guy attack. This is the first time I give it to you reptiles."
"Drink—" Ming Meng roared, and the surrounding Milan soldiers were shocked almost instantly to a state of deafness for a short time. Immediately afterwards, they clearly saw that Ming's body turned blue-purple in an instant, and the huge lightning power converged towards his right hand at an incomparable speed.
Raising his head, he realized that the one-eyed eye had completely turned into azure blue. It was not azure blue like water waves, but a blue formed by the condensed power of countless thunder and lightning.
"Wind-storm-zhi-hammer-." Accompanied by the loud shouting of four words, each time a word is spoken, the light of lightning on the small short-handed hammer in Ming's hand will become stronger, and when the last word "hammer" is pronounced At that time, he raised his hand violently, and the short-armed warhammer erupted instantly with distorted light and enormous lightning power, turning into a phantom and heading towards the air.
How can a weapon that can be used by a beast like Ming be mediocre? That is the Thor's Hammer, which is known as the strongest artifact. Although the Thor's Hammer is only one-half, but thinking about the powerful defense of the Thor's Hammer Fortress, you can see how overbearing this artifact is.
It is also Thor's hammer, the one in Ming's hand is not much different from the one owned by the orc tribe Thor tribe in terms of power. It's just that Thor's Hammer Fortress relied on a special magic circle, with Thor's Hammer as the core, creating a forbidden magic field there. Although Ming didn't have the support of the magic circle, the pointed Thor's Hammer he used was always warmed in his single eye.
You must know that the mountain giant is known as the son of Thor, and the thunder element possessed in his one-eyed eye is incomparably beneficial to the artifact Thor's Hammer.
Therefore, the special attack of Thor's Hammer launched by Ming, the Hammer of Storms, will definitely not be inferior to the power of the Storm Hammer launched by the Thor tribe with the magic circle to activate the round-handled Thor's Hammer.
Feeling the increasing wind force around him, Kessler felt a little more proud. He was not wrong in his judgment of the Milan magician. He firmly believed that in the face of this large-scale forbidden spell attacking with all his strength, the Milanese wanted to It's almost impossible to resist.
As long as you can break into the city, open the city gate. Then, this war can be over.
Although the Fro army suffered heavy losses, as long as they have a strategic advantage, there is still room for recovery.
At this moment, Kessler suddenly had a weird feeling. He found that the whole space seemed to be distorted, and a special breath came from below. When he looked down, he happened to see the city of Sfort On the city wall, that group of dazzling thunder and lightning light.
Naturally, Kussler would not know that it was the lightning energy caused by the mountain giant, but with the strength and vision of the Purple Star Dragoon, Kussler could understand at a glance how powerful it was.
"Not good, stop the spell quickly." Shocked, he immediately passed on the message to his monster partner. Unfortunately, after the forbidden spell started, how could it be easy to stop? This is especially true for such dragon language magic.
Four wind dragons. The spells they chanted never had a chance to stop. next moment. A group of incomparably surging thunder and lightning power surged up instantly.
After Ming revealed his single eye, his eyesight could not even be compared with that of the elves. He can naturally see who is the core of this forbidden spell. Therefore, that poor wind element elder naturally became the target of Storm Hammer.
boom-. The roar was not very strong, but it was almost only for a moment, the majestic wind dragon elder. An imposing nine-level dragon. It has turned into burnt black.
Dragon language magic was forcibly interrupted. Strong shock and lightning power. Under the totem of the Thunder God Tribe, the power erupted by the mountain giant's full power is almost close to a super artifact, without any suspense. With such a simple hammer, the body of this level nine dragon has already turned into fly ash. .
Kessler's reaction was not unpleasant, he suddenly felt a strong crisis, he immediately jumped up from the back of his dragon mount, but. His movements were still a little slower by half a beat. A strong paralysis instantly spread throughout the body. Immediately afterwards, the brain felt dizzy. I don't know anything.
The strength of the purple-level powerhouse is not bad after all. Most of the power of the Storm Hammer was blocked by the ninth-level wind dragon elder, what Kussler suffered was only the aftermath, but even this aftermath still made him faint. The strongest artifact. How powerful is it.
At the same time, there were three other wind-type giant dragons that were affected. As the eighth-level giant dragons, the strong aftermath of lightning immediately swept them and the bodies of the dragon riders on their backs. Almost the same as Koestler. They fell into a coma at the same time.
The stun effect of Thor's Hammer is much slower and more powerful than the spear throwing of the Dryad Druid. Not to mention the frontal attack, even the aftermath of the explosion can still cause so many powerful people to suffer at the same time. It can be seen that it is powerful.
The three giant dragons brought their dragoon generals and Kossler and fell towards the ground at the same time. But the pointed Thor's Hammer returned to Mingdi's hands as if being pulled by a special ground wire.
However, Kessler and the others are still lucky, the dragon clan's resistance to magic is much stronger than that of humans. And what they bear is the aftermath of the hammer of the storm. therefore. When the bodies of the three giant dragons fell halfway, they were already awake, feeling the strong gravity. The three-headed wind dragon suddenly turned pale with shock. Hastily raised the energy of his Earth Wind attribute to the limit, and spread his wings wide.
Counteract the force of the fall as much as possible.
but. The weight of the Dragon Clan is too big. Coupled with the fully armed dragoon generals, it is not easy to slow down such a huge momentum. Especially when Koesler's falling body accidentally hit a wind dragon.
The sound of bones breaking. It clearly came from the roots of the wings of the three wind dragons. When the three wind dragons endured the severe pain and brought a total of four dragonriders to the ground. Their dragon wings have also been fractured from the root, and such injuries are extremely serious for the dragon clan. After the wounded dragoon generals earlier, the Florians finally lost all their strong dragoon generals.
When Kussler woke up slowly, he suddenly found out. It turns out that living is so beautiful. Although he didn't fall to the ground, he was picked up by the dragon. However, the earthquake shocks to his body and the aftermath of Thor's Hammer put a huge load on his already extremely tired body.
The battle on the side of Sfort City was still fierce. But at this moment. do not know why. But the Marshal of Florida could no longer have a trace of fighting spirit in his heart.
He knew that Flo had no chance in this war. The moment the last forbidden spell was interrupted, it was already doomed that Foro lost his last chance to enter Milan.
There is no news about logistical supplies until now. Not to mention material. Not even a bit of information came, and even the 50,000 troops he sent to support him, there was no news. Five hundred thousand army, when I brought it out, it was a full five hundred thousand army. But now? How much is left
Facing the Milan Eastern Army, such a weak army, what did he do
fail. fail. It still failed, and even Koestler himself didn't understand why this battle turned out like this.
At first. How high-spirited he was when he accepted the appointment in Florence, the capital of Florence, when he became the generalissimo of the whole army, including Scarlet Guards, Blood Mage, and Heavy Cavalry. Nationally concentrated battle magicians. Coupled with the torrent of steel composed of an entire army of 500,000, this army built with all the efforts of the whole country did not bring half a benefit to Foluo.
Kussler's heart was already a little bit dead, he couldn't even feel angry when he looked blankly at the Foro fighters who were still charging.
Ming left the training room. Only Zi was left in the room. Although Zi's consumption was not necessarily much greater than Ming's, his own strength was still one level worse than Ming's. Demigod level and purple level are not at the same level after all, so. His rest also naturally needs more time to carry on.
At this moment. Sudden. A dazzling brilliance erupted from Zi's body. He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes were full of surprise, and purple magic patterns appeared continuously all over his body. Without his own urging. His humanoid body has turned into a transparent amethyst. Layers of amethyst magic mist seeped out of the body continuously, and every rhythm of the huge energy fluctuations would make Zi clearly feel the return of power.
How is this going? Originally Zi Zi was still a long time away from returning to his peak state, but at this time he clearly felt that the energy from the depths of his blood and soul completely recovered his lost energy almost instantly, and he was very happy. It's hard to understand what exactly happened, but the energy in the body is still constantly sublimating.
Amethyst bloodline awakened. Every time it brings more powerful power, with the emergence of huge power, the muscles and meridians of Zi's body are constantly expanding. Group after group of dazzling purple light burst out from his body continuously. He had already reached the peak of level nine. With the support of this huge energy. Finally launched a strong impact towards his final goal.
Sudden. Violet understands. He understood why there was such a huge force coming, and he thought of his partner. own brother.
That's right, it's Yinzhu. It must be Yinzhu. Only when his strength suddenly rises to another level. Only through the same natal contract can it bring me such huge benefits.
Sound bamboo. What on earth did you do again? How could it bring me such a huge amount of energy!
When I first signed the contract with you, I always wanted to help you with energy while improving myself, but the land you gave me is much bigger than I gave you.
Yes. Zi's guess is correct, the source of his power at this time is Ye Yinzhu. At the same time, he was not the only one who obtained this huge energy. There is also the flash and thunder hidden in Ye Yinzhu's body.
That dark red cocoon. The big cocoon, which exudes spring and warmth, finally stopped flickering with light. Everything merged into one in the silence, the cocoon had become a layer of solidified solid, looking as soft as satin, accompanied by the sound of even breathing from inside, the big dark red cocoon gently Rhythm this. As if the heart is beating.
The sound of gongs sounded on the battlefield, and Fo Luo finally sounded the prelude to retreat. The Floro army that attacked like a tide retreated as quickly as they charged. All that was left were corpses that were almost all over the battlefield. .
Koestler had no other choice, when his deep and hoarse voice announced the retreat of camp. This military operation in the entire Flora can be regarded as a complete end. A large amount of attrition has made it extremely difficult for the Florians to attack again.
Koestler's choice is undoubtedly the most correct, if he does not retreat at this time. When those mounts are exhausted. Even if the Florians want to retreat again, they will lose the strength to retreat.
A full two hundred thousand corpses were left behind. The Florians are gone. All that was left was a strong smell of blood and a large number of corpses.
Naturally, Ancelotti will not pursue and return as a spy. When it was announced that the Florians were really retreating. The city of Sifuerte suddenly became a sea of joy, and the victory was won. Milan won. The Eastern Legion was victorious, and the Florians finally retreated. The greatest threat to Milan had finally left the battlefield. This kind of joy was almost indescribable in words, even though the soldiers were extremely exhausted. But at this moment, their spirits have reached the peak of excitement.
Long live Milan. Long live the Eastern Legion, long live Marshal Ye. Countless shouts continued to resound in the city.
This offensive and defensive battle. This tragic battle. It's not just as simple as the relationship between Milan and Flora, it also destroys the original one-sided war situation. The balance of victory began to change from tilt to balance, the Milan Empire. In an extremely unfavorable situation. Finally regained a little initiative.
Ancelotti gave the order immediately. Send out a large number of scouts to follow the Floro army, and keep an eye on their movements at any time. Just in case the Foro kills a carbine back, meanwhile. Almost all the active forces in the city were dispatched. Bury the corpses outside the city on the spot. Fortunately it is winter. otherwise. Once so many corpses rot, it is very likely to bring plague disaster to Sfort City. .
