Green Monster Epic

Chapter 843: Battle

The battle in the small town of Caton ended quickly. In about half a day, the entire city had basically lost its resistance. At the same time, the corpses of the massacred human civilians piled up like mountains, placed beside a fountain square in the city center.

A team of centaur spellcasters accompanying the army was skillfully manipulating obsidian pillars and a meticulously carved altar core. Around them were Ahmad and other centaur troops on high alert, guarding them and the altar in the middle.

In the sky, various magical auras rippled, and druids transformed into various birds of prey patrolled and monitored. Any abnormality would be promptly warned, followed by a team of capable soldiers eager to move, rushing to the location of the abnormality and crushing it into dust.

"It's ready!"

The professional centaur accompanying the army, his face covered in sweat, looked up and reported the situation to Ahmad, who was beside him.

"Begin the teleportation!"

Ahmad and the other legendary knight commanders exchanged glances, and then ordered in a deep voice.

Corpses of humans and centaur warriors were thrown into the surface of the altar, which had begun to operate like a millstone. As the flesh and blood were melted and absorbed by the altar, a pillar of blood-red light soared into the sky.

"Starting with the first battalion, enter the teleportation array in order!"

In fact, even if Ahmad didn't order it, the centaur warriors gathered in the square at this time knew what to do. They had teleported dozens of times along the way, and they were no longer novices.

One by one, the centaur warriors disappeared from the teleportation array. It wasn't until most of the army had disappeared into the teleportation beam that Ahmad breathed a sigh of relief. Even if other destroyers appeared at this time, it wouldn't matter much, and it wouldn't be possible to disrupt the pace of their army's withdrawal.

"The rest is up to you!"

Ahmad patted the leader of the last team of a thousand or so wounded soldiers, most of whom had one or two hooves cut off. He said in a low voice.

"Yes."

The centaur officer, who had been temporarily promoted to lead this team of wounded soldiers, replied resolutely, without any resentment or sadness at being abandoned.

If there were no problems with the final team's teleportation, then they could follow closely behind and step into the teleportation array, eventually being left at an unknown teleportation point, but they would no longer advance and fight with the main force, so as not to slow down the army's pace.

But the more likely outcome was that the lurking human team would seize this opportunity and suddenly appear, trying to destroy the teleportation array. Then they would have to work hard to buy time for the rearguard team dismantling the teleportation gate, and cover their retreat.

The centaur commander who stepped into the teleportation beam suddenly felt weightless, and his consciousness was blurred for a while. Even though he had teleported so many times, this reaction was still a bit uncomfortable. However, when Ahmad regained control of his body and sensed the surrounding situation, his expression immediately became solemn.

Originally, even the centaur legion itself couldn't determine the teleportation coordinates. At this time, when Ahmad's last army appeared, he actually saw that the army that had teleported earlier was already engaged in a fierce battle with people.

However, after sensing the situation of the battle, Ahmad's solemn expression eased somewhat, but he quickly called for the army to assemble, and at the same time, his domain power unfolded, and then he led the legion to charge over.

Eight human figures appeared in the sky, using powerful methods to launch attacks and invasions against the centaur legion on the ground. Apart from this, there were no signs of other large-scale human armies appearing nearby. Obviously, the powerful human empire had sent legendary experts to spread out around the attacked cities, and after searching for the centaur teleportation coordinates, they promptly fed them back to the ears of other experts.

Now that the other party's experts had discovered the teleportation coordinates of the centaur army, then he believed that it wouldn't be long before the human army would rush over from the surrounding area and contain the centaur legion.

"Ha! !"

The centaur commanders Austin, Currie, and others roared, and their entire bodies shot into the sky. Above the firmament, several meteors were dragging their tail flames, heading straight towards the location of the centaur legion.

Seeing this, Ahmad didn't dare to delay. After seeing the targets chosen by his colleagues, he also simultaneously selected a meteor and rushed up.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Although the meteors were all shot down, the scattered fragments still uncontrollably turned into a rain of fire, falling towards the ground.

". mosk"

The unified chanting of spells suddenly stopped, and then a huge earth shield appeared above the centaur army, covering most of the sky above the army. Then, there was a popping sound of impact, coming from above the earth shield.

A few fragments fell into the army, and knight officers with considerable strength in the team jumped up one after another, trying their best to help their comrades resist the aftermath of the powerful magic.

Two legendary centaur knights also mobilized the power of tens of thousands of subordinates to resist the attacks of the four or five human experts in front. After Ahmad and Austin freed themselves, the five legendary knights launched an attack on the human experts in the sky again.

"Don't get entangled with them!"

"What is the response from the scouts sent out? What is the location of the largest city nearby?"

Ahmad observed the situation of the army while fighting.

The centaur legion warriors who stepped out of the teleportation point earlier should have been caught off guard by the humans, so the casualties were probably three to four thousand.

Fortunately, the legion warriors who appeared later formed a formation, and the human experts spread out to cast a wide net, which required them to disperse their manpower. The time spent on converging also gave the centaurs time to react, and in the end, it didn't cause more losses.

Whoosh! !

Just as the surrounding officers wanted to report the situation to Ahmad, a cluster of fiery red fireworks suddenly rose from the eastern horizon, lingering for a long time. Seeing this scene, the centaur commander quickly shouted orders to change the army formation, and then began to fight and retreat towards the direction of the eastern signal.

The human experts did have the intention to delay, but facing the huge army led by Ahmad and several other commanders, they only defended and did not attack, not giving them any chance at all, which was really difficult to deal with.

Knights blessed by the legion are actually the most powerful among experts of the same level. Relying on the legion's blessing, they can often challenge beyond their level, and the power and effect exerted by each move far exceeds other existences of the same level.

It's just that the shackles of the legion make the knight experts who command them only suitable for attacking and defending, and they cannot operate as flexibly as ordinary experts. Therefore, in the eyes of other experts, knight experts who have lost their mobility are no different from sandbags.

But it is such a sandbag that now makes it somewhat impossible for human experts to attack. Even though the other party has begun to approach the nearest human town, they still seem somewhat powerless as a restraining force.

Fortunately, the human experts were not naive enough to think that they could hold back the centaur legion by relying on their strength alone. Just as they were trailing and restraining the centaur legion, in a secluded mountain forest dozens of miles away, a team of human druids transformed into birds of prey landed, and then busily took out countless materials from the secondary dimension equipment, and began to build a teleportation array on the spot.

Even the Mansha Wilderness, not known for its wealth, could produce so many sets of teleportation devices for their invading legions. Therefore, the Dawn Empire, one of the three great human empires, naturally couldn't be without teleportation arrays.

However, compared to flesh and blood altars, which could use ordinary biological corpses as materials for teleportation, the teleportation devices mastered by the major civilizations and churches in the Ferman world often required a large investment of expensive resources and gems.

And if you want to teleport a legion of more than ten thousand people over a long distance to a fixed point, the consumption is an astonishing amount. Under normal circumstances, the cost of transporting an army by teleportation is dozens or even hundreds of times the amount of resources consumed by a marching army.

Therefore, even a powerful entity like the Dawn Empire rarely uses teleportation warfare as a regular method.

As for the flesh and blood altar method used by the demons in the past, humans have naturally researched it. However, they, priding themselves on being a civilized world, would definitely not openly use flesh and blood altars. Moreover, where would the empire find so many corpses for them to use and activate the altars? They couldn't possibly treat their own people as consumables, could they?

Now, for the sake of the empire's face, and to avoid being led by the centaurs by the nose, and to reduce even more losses for the empire, the empire's high-level officials have painfully mobilized a large amount of resources to fight in the same way as the centaur legions, so that they can catch up with their tails as quickly as possible.

The exquisite teleportation array was quickly constructed. Then, bag after bag of high-value jewels such as red and blue gemstones and emeralds were thrown into the magic core by this group of Druid members with expressionless faces. Each bag of jewels was worth more than 100,000 gold coins, and merely activating the teleportation array had already consumed nearly ten bags of jewels.

Buzz!

An invisible ripple began to ripple in the magic array, and a halo began to emerge from the metal floor covering an area of hundreds of square meters, until a beam of silver-white light rose.

The array controller was still throwing in jewels. Although the frequency of their throwing in jewels was no longer as frequent as at the beginning, at least one bag of jewels would be consumed every ten minutes or so.

Pa! Pa!

Dense collision sounds came from the alloy metal floor covered with complex magic patterns. Immediately, figures of human soldiers in full armor, solemn and calm, passed through the silver-white beam of light, endlessly.

Soon, more than ten thousand human warriors had crossed thousands of miles through the teleportation array and arrived on this land that many warriors might never come to in their lives. The general leading the army was none other than Marshal Aipu, who had just wiped out the remaining wilderness legions of Newens' capital.

"Send out the scout brigade to catch up with the centaurs' tails, clear the eyes and ears around the invading legion, and the rest of the brigades slowly advance eastward to open up roads, waiting for the subsequent army to arrive."

As soon as he came out of the teleportation array, the human commander Aipu glanced at the surrounding environment and asked a few human members who built the array a few words. Then, he issued instructions to the constantly growing army, and teams of human elite soldiers dispersed like ants.

The centaur legion charging in front tirelessly dealt with the harassment of human powerhouses like flies around them, while moving quickly in the direction of the signal. This teleportation was considered lucky, and the journey to the human city was not too far. In just over a magic hour, the centaur soldiers saw a city with a large area on the horizon.

"Huff... Huff..."

The centaur soldiers, who had just captured a city half a day ago and had not had time to rest, could not hide their fatigue in their eyes. However, as the accompanying priests and shamans blessed their bodies with divine spells, their entire spirit was renewed, and they continued to move forward with cold killing intent.

Shoo! Shoo!

The javelins replenished in the last city were mercilessly thrown out by the centaur warriors as the distant city entered their attack range, and figures immediately fell from the city walls in the distance.

At the same time, a large number of warriors on the city walls opposite also poked their heads out to return the favor. Countless arrows and javelins flew through the sky, mixed with raging magic fireballs, lightning wind blades, and even roaring giant trebuchets.

The city in front of them was probably the city with the second largest scale to the city of Vercor, the commercial capital, that the centaur army had encountered along the way. Therefore, the garrison force stationed in this city was also second only to the city of Vercor.

Until now, Ahmad and the others were still not sure about the situation of the city they were attacking, but seeing the counterattack launched by the other side, they not only did not worry, but also felt a little excited.

The high city walls stood in front of them. Even with the climbing ability of the centaur legion soldiers, it was difficult to climb up on a large scale, which was also the confidence of the human army on the city walls to appear calm.

However, the centaur charging cavalry did not seem to intend to slow down, putting on an absurd act of directly hitting the city walls with their flesh. Until a magical aura rose from the cavalry team, the centaur casters mixed in the team cast the same magic at the same time while galloping.

Stone Shield!!

A 4th level intermediate single protection magic that is not considered high level, formed a square paved like floor tiles under the city walls dozens of meters away.

Then, sharp ground thorns rose again under the stone shield, lifting the stone shield up. In an instant, they formed a series of steps, directly reducing the height difference of five meters to less than two meters.

The human defenders' faces changed drastically. They lined up and raised their guns to build a wall of steel thorns in front of the wall. The human casters in the rear terminated the powerful magic they were casting and switched to dispelling magic, while activating their respective magic props, trying to stop the centaurs' impact.

Pa da! Pa da!

The centaur warriors skillfully stepped on the stone shield steps, and with a big jump, they directly boarded the city wall in front of them. The first warriors to board the city did not even have time to launch an attack, and were stabbed into countless blood holes by countless spears that had been prepared long ago. The only thing they could do was to spread their arms and desperately hold the spears in front of them, using their flesh and blood to pave the way for those who came later.

Although the dispelling magic was completed, the object they wanted to dispel was submerged in the figures of countless centaur warriors. In the end, the caster captain helplessly controlled the magic and sprinkled it down the city, and the effect of the dispelling magic basically only dispelled the magic blessings on the centaur warriors. Only a few stone shields were affected and collapsed, and then dozens or hundreds of centaur warriors staggered and fell down the city. Some were unfortunately pierced by the ground thorns and hung on the thorns dying.

But more centaur warriors crossed the flesh and blood passage built by their companions with their lives and crossed the city wall, fiercely pouncing on the human army on the city wall.

I've gone off topic. I'm very sorry. I originally only wanted to write a chapter describing the heroic journey of the deeply infiltrated centaur army, but I didn't expect to write too detailed and scattered. After writing it, I realized it was two chapters. I apologize here.
