Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

"Okay, Your Highness, I will wait here for the Griffin Knights to return from completing their mission."

Gerald realized that he had been rude just now and actually contradicted His Highness the Prince.

"Then please let Knight Gerald take a good rest here. I believe that with General Eva's ability, the defense line will not be easily broken through by mere monsters."

Gerald had no choice but to wander around. The gryphon knights sent out should have almost cleared away the locusts here. The soldiers were all resting and the pressure on the defense line was much less.

He continued to walk closer to the front line, wanting to see His Highness Rodney's ability in training troops and how good the discipline of the soldiers who followed His Highness the Prince was.

However, what surprised him was that these soldiers had average discipline, their formations were crooked, their postures were loose, and their reactions after orders were given were also slow. These were direct soldiers wearing fine armor, and all of them were at the level of trainee knights.

Not to mention the other soldiers, most of them were local soldiers. After Rodney came here, their command was handed over to Mallory.

The only ones who look like soldiers are the defenders who have been stationed at the New Great Wall, but the number of defenders is too small to fully support the entire defense line.

"Enemy attack! The monster is coming!"

The alarm bell rang, and everyone returned to their fighting positions in panic.

"Didn't the Griffin Knights eliminate all these monsters? Why are there still so many?"

many? Gerald smiled contemptuously. Seeing that the number was only ten or twenty thousand, the archers could handle them in just a few rounds.

Their formation is barely visible, with the spearmen placed on the outermost edge, and the knights and archers arranged cross-arranged in the middle. This can give the archers next to them a sense of security and allow them to concentrate on shooting.

The archers are all composed of the new Great Wall defenders, the knights are brought by Rodney, and the outer spearmen are local guards. They are all different sequences of armies organized together.

There is also a group of magicians in the rear, which should provide long-range support, but there is no magician next to the formation.

Seeing the locust swarm getting closer and closer, the spearmen in the front row began to waver. They began to look left and right to see if anyone was escaping. If someone was running away, they would follow them.

"What are you looking at! Do you want to run?"

A man holding a long sword in his right hand walked back and forth in the array. As soon as he said these words, no one dared to look left or right. His sword was still stained with blood. He must be the warlord. Once anyone escapes, he will be killed. amnesty.

"It's coming! Shoot the arrow!"

shhhhh--

No metal sharpening? What is the use of this attack?

After an arrow hit the locust, the locust just screamed, but it could continue to fly. Then it knocked down a spearman in the front row and died after being hit in the head by another soldier.

It can be said that there is no coordination between the different arms. The spearmen in the front row kept retreating after meeting the enemy, and soon encountered the archers behind, causing an arrow to miss.

The knights who were arranged crosswise with the archers saw that their comrades were entangled by multiple locusts. Instead of protecting the archers next to them, they went to help their comrades in the knights.

As a result, the entire formation fell into chaos almost the moment it encountered the enemy. Everyone fought their own way, no one cared about anyone, and many spearmen also took advantage of the chaos to escape.

About 20,000 locusts almost destroyed the army of more than 30,000 people. In the end, it was the magicians in the back row who bombed indiscriminately, which blocked the attack.

A total of more than 4000 people died, half of whom died at the hands of their own people.

Such a result was really beyond Gerald's expectation. It was rumored that Enoch, the general under His Royal Highness Rodney, was known for his caution and his skill in training troops. How could he bring out such an army?

Even if there was a battle with the new country in the south and the best soldiers and generals suffered heavy losses, it would not be like this.

Now it seems that if there is no support from the Griffin Knights here, it will only be a matter of time before they are penetrated.

Alas, things get complicated.

In the evening, Rodney held a banquet in the military camp to celebrate another day of successful defense. It was one day closer to the arrival of reinforcements. Everyone was drunk alone. When he was happy, he said:

"Today, we can achieve such a victory all thanks to my most powerful Griffin Knights! Now, I want to reward them well. Come on, everyone from the Griffin Knights is here!"

Everyone was cheering, and some were very envious. It would be great if they could become a member of the Griffin Knights. Soaring in the sky riding a ferocious beast, how majestic it is!

However, no one came forward.

"Why...don't you want a reward?"

Someone reminded: "Your Highness, the Griffin Knights have not returned yet."

"Huh? General Mallory, what's going on? What mission did you send them to perform? It's so late, why haven't they come back yet?"

Mallory said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I just sent them to destroy the monsters in the west, and told them to return to the team in three hours."

Realizing there was a problem, Rodney suddenly sobered up and continued to ask, "What about them?"

"I, I, I don't know"

"waste!"

Rodney used earth magic and hit Mallory in the chest with a rock bullet. Mallory was knocked away by the force.

"Is this how you become a general? How can you be a general when you don't even know where your soldiers are?"

After saying that, he waved his hands, and four people came and directly put Mallory's hands up, and then began to remove his armor.

"Your Highness! No, under the witness of the goddess, please give me another chance, I promise..."

"I already gave you a chance!"

Mallory still wanted to break away, but the people who came forward were all Rodney's personal guards. They were all high-ranking knights. Mallory, who had just been promoted to a grand knight, could handle one or two, but he could handle four. It was obviously very difficult.

"Throw him into the dungeon"

A good celebration party has turned into this mess. Rodney is very confused. The whereabouts of the Griffin Knights are unknown. What to do with the defense line.

"Your Highness"

Rodney looked up and saw it was Gerald.

"As you can see, because of my stupid general, I can no longer support you with the Griffin Knights."

"I saw it too, Your Highness, I'll take my leave now."

Gerald rode the dragon and left without thinking.

"drive!"

Now he no longer had the same favorable impression of Rodney as he did when he first came here. Maybe he had some advantages in other places, but when it came to leading troops, he was a complete layman.

The most important thing now is to quickly return to General Eva and prepare her to evacuate. Once the defense line here collapses, the other side will be in danger of being outflanked.

"Everyone should be very alert tonight. Warcraft is very likely to launch an attack at night. Try to spend tonight smoothly."

"Hey~, wash your face, kid, if you are still in a daze, I will pour my urine down your throat."

The captains of each legion began to organize the mobilization of their soldiers. The most terrifying night was about to come.
