honor me as god

Chapter 698

Apollo rode on his sabre-toothed tiger, and the nearby cavalry howled with excitement. Just as they were about to charge into battle with him, Jupiter shouted angrily, "What's the rush? Don't move!"

Apollo was dissuaded twice, and the fighting spirit in his body made him a little bit unbearable: "Brother! They have all been shot down by heavy crossbows, when will they not go now?"

"If you can directly kill their commander in this battle, do you know how much encouragement this will be for the brothers? These southern barbarians will collapse and run around like pigs. We can catch whatever we want , Kill as much as you want! When the time comes, victory will be ours!"

Jupiter clicked his tongue, and said coldly: "It's the same with shooting slowly with a heavy crossbow. If they want to guard at the mouth of the canyon, then we will shoot until none of them can stand up."

Apollo said impatiently: "It's a waste of time to do this. Why use a heavy crossbow to solve a problem that can be solved by a single charge? If this drags on, all the evacuees behind them will run away."

Jupiter kicked him: "Shut up for me! I am the chief, I have the final say!"

Apollo was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but facing his brother, he had no place to vent his anger. He could only curse secretly, and slapped the saber-toothed tiger under him hard on the head as a vent.

The heavy crossbow shooting continued, and the situation for Solandelle and others became more and more difficult. If the crossbow arrows were only shot from one direction, it would be fine, the large shields in their hands would not be directly pierced by the crossbow arrows.

However, the shooters of the tribal fighters were divided into two waves, one wave was shooting in a straight line, and the other wave was aiming at the sky for arc shooting. The direction may be exposed, increasing the probability of being shot.

In front of this rain of arrows, the soldiers could only curl up under the shields as much as possible. The sound of crossbow bolts colliding with the shield was endless, and many crossbow arrows fell beside them, only a few centimeters away from the edge of their bodies. psychological burden.

Many soldiers had already closed their eyes when they crouched, murmuring words like "God bless me", their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Joshua, who had a heart-to-heart talk with Solandelle last night, was also in the formation. As he himself said, he is very timid. The reason why he is standing here now is to follow what Solandelle said, to muster up the courage to prove himself .

However, war is not a child's play, and this kind of situation of life and death is even more so. In front of the sky full of crossbow arrows, Joshua's lips were already white with fright, and his nerves were so tense that he seemed to be broken at any time.

At this moment, a crossbow bolt brushed against the edge of the shield, just passing his arm, and the sharp arrow directly tore off a piece of flesh, leaving bloody bloodstains.

"Ah!!!" The severe pain became the last straw that crushed Joshua. Fear and panic appeared in his eyes like a burst embankment. Shooting a vacuum, he threw the shield away and fled backwards in a panic, "I will die, I will die. Put me back!!!"

Solandelle's face changed drastically upon hearing the voice, and she hastily turned around and shouted, "Come back! Don't move!!!"

However, Solandelle yelled late, even if she didn't yell late, for a person whose psychological defense line has been defeated, he wouldn't dare to yell anything.

The shield-wall formation was originally a very close distance between soldiers, supporting each other, supporting each other, and coping with the impact together. When Joshua escaped, there was a gap in the formation, not to mention for the time being. He implicated other soldiers when he squeezed back. , became a stumbling block for his companions.

"Get out of here! Don't squeeze over!" The soldiers who were squeezed couldn't stabilize their bodies for a while, staggered and fell to the ground, and thus tripped up other companions, causing many people to lose their center of gravity and fall one after another. Howling and cursing came and went.

"Come back! You coward! Coward!!!" Solandelle, who had always been docile, turned livid with anger, and yelled at Joshua's back.

However, Solandelle's scolding could not save the situation. Joshua squeezed out of the crowd in panic and fled backwards. This action not only destroyed the shield wall formation, but also drove the remaining morale to a trough.

This is the scariest part of group emotions. If everyone can hold on, they can hold on forever, but once one person collapses, the group will collapse together.

Joshua's escaping behavior broke the defenses of many soldiers, especially when the next round of heavy crossbow salvo was coming, no one wanted to stay here and wait for death. After fleeing, the entire formation has become loose sand.

"Come back! Come back!!!" Solandelle was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead, and her throat broke, but just a few shouts could not restore the collapsed morale, and she could only watch helplessly. People fled in dismay.
The last line of defense against the tribal fighters collapsed, exposing the weakest rear wing of the entire retreating force to the enemy.
In the distance, Apollo saw the morale of the enemy collapsed, and the formation was completely loose. His fighting instinct made his blood boil, and his blood seemed to be on fire. He grabbed the reins and shouted at the saber-toothed tiger cavalry who were also fighting furiously. : "Assemble! Assemble!"

Jupiter's face changed, and he quickly grabbed his rein and asked, "What are you doing?!"

Apollo pointed to the collapsing enemy formation in the distance, with flames burning in his eyes: "Did you see, my stupid brother! The enemy has collapsed! Break through here in one breath, kill them all, and we can Go all the way south to break through the Lenglie Valley, take the king city straight, and help you to be crowned king!"

Apollo raised his heavy knife high and let out a fanatical battle cry: "For the great king of the Northern Territory, come with me!!!"

Apollo broke away from Jupiter's hand, rode Juechen, and took the lead in the charge. The saber-toothed tiger cavalry behind him could no longer hold back their fighting spirit. Apollo launched an earth-shattering charge.

"Wait! Apollo!" Jupiter wanted to call out, but no matter how loud his voice was, it was already drowned out by the battle roars and roars of tigers. .

Moreover, although Jupiter is the chief, these saber-toothed tiger cavalry were all brought out by Apollo, and they were really passionate, and his words really didn't work for Apollo.

"Roar! Roar! Roar—" Apollo rushed to the front wantonly venting his fighting spirit, his throat imitating a saber-toothed tiger howling, his hideous face was as ferocious as a ghost, and soon he led the overwhelming army Saber-toothed tiger cavalry rushed to the mouth of the canyon.

There were fierce tigers galloping at the entrance, and almost all the soldiers in the rear fled. There was no trace of blood on Solandelle's face, deep blue eyes showed deep fear, and even her body began to tremble.
