Chapter 255: Attack and Defense of the Great Fortress (3)
The Scarlet Lord's talent slowly turned the earth into a red color filled with a rotten and terrifying atmosphere. The Rune Priest's dispersal technique constantly purified the power that eroded nature and restored the battlefield to its original appearance. The soldiers fought, and it was also a collision of rules.
Shen Xuan calculated that it would take a long time to completely consume the power of the Great Maurya Dynasty, even enough for the players to revive and enter the battlefield.
However, the other parts of the underground forces are now encircling the knights of the Flame Dragon Knights with superior strength, so when he persists, the situation will be clear.
Because Ashoka desperately killed his soldiers, he suffered a lot of losses. Even if the two sides consumed at a ratio of 1 to 2, Ashoka's situation was much better than Shen Xuan who could not be rescued.
The regular army's cross swordsman then drank the potion. Their offense and defense were balanced, and they would not die quickly in the face of the enemy's strong killing tactics. As a soldier trained in swordsmanship, being able to sacrifice on the battlefield was their final destination.
When the Snow Eagle Knights joined the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield changed slightly. Although the interior space of the fortress was not very open, they could still fight safely against the Snow Eagles, which were only a few meters in size.
They used the air strikes that the underground forces feared the most. The Snow Eagle Knights could only play a role here, but not at the base of the Flame Dragon Knights.
The Snow Eagles screamed and flapped their snow-white wings in the air. The Dwarf Knights shot out hissing lightning from their hands, bombarding the Cross Swordsman, causing 800 to 900 damage.
Shen Xuan had no air force, except for the timid Shadow Dragon.
The situation seemed to have fallen into a passive position all of a sudden.
Shen Xuan frowned. He really hadn't thought of a way to deal with the Snow Eagles. When he was making strategic arrangements, he didn't consider that they would appear here, because the effect of fighting in the fortress was far less than that in the open area. He could only think temporarily and try to reduce the losses.
Now, the battle has lasted for more than ten minutes. Mistrylin's Ursulan Hand rested for a few minutes. After a while, the girl walked up to him and asked, "Sir, when will we retreat?"
She knew that no matter how omnipotent Shen Xuan was, he could not eliminate them all at the same time.
Shen Xuan was actually confident that he could block them at the intersection. He said, "Is the Flame Demon Corps ready?"
Mistlin nodded immediately, "Yes, we can set off at any time."
Shen Xuan looked at the hundreds of strong Flame Demons not far away. They prayed to Shalok for strength through the sacrificial ceremony. They slowly rose into the air under the enslavement of wizards, but they were not air force units and their air combat skills were not proficient enough.
In Ashoka's eyes, the lord's army retreated along the street under the double blow. The dwarf houses almost collapsed instantly because of the fighting spirit and magic. In the face of the astonishing losses, he finally saw the hope of success. He knew that the Flame Dragon Knights could only play a role in fighting on the street. If they were blocked by underground forces, they might be wiped out.
"BLACK, RED, Aleus" he immediately asked about the battle situation of several routes.
Then he discussed with Ikar, the Snow Eagle Knights, and the captain of the Fearless Legion behind him, trying to kill a way out of the lord's army to save the Flame Dragon Knights.
The Fearless Legion was ignored again. The slow movement speed of the fortress infantry made it difficult to advance quickly, and it was only suitable for defense.
"Master, the Fearless Legion is suitable for defense after all. I think that cooperating with the flank of the legion and stabilizing the lord's pace at the same time is what the Fearless should do, not rescue."
Ashoka found that the clan coalition led by Hamot was about to arrive. It appeared from the other side of the fortress. No one knew his purpose. Although he wanted to become the speaker, he must not massacre the dwarves, but who knew his true thoughts? In Ashoka's opinion, Hamot was actually the most suitable person to be the speaker, but the camp drew a gap between them and they could never cooperate.
The intelligence of the Snow Eagle Knights was delivered to him.
"The lord sent out the Fire Demon Legion? Is his target the Snow Eagle Knights?" Ashoka asked worriedly, knowing that with the cooperation of the Rune Priest, the Snow Eagle Knights could completely restrain the Fire Demon Legion. This was also the reason why the lord did not use the wizard's magic skills to conduct mobile warfare.
While he was thinking, the leader of the Fearless Legion was still trying to get a chance to fight, saying: "Ashoka, as a dwarf, I hope you can understand our desire to avenge Lord Aigron. Fighting is our destiny, and some sacrifices are acceptable."
Ashoka had no choice but to allow the Fearless Legion to fight. In fact, in the absence of Aigron, no one could command the domestic army. He had no decision-making power and could only dissuade.
The Rune Priest quickly gave the Fearless a Swift Blessing, and they chased in the direction of the underground legion's retreat under the gaze of countless players.
Ashoka asked the players of the guild to keep an eye on the lord's Fire Demon Legion to prevent them from playing any tricks.
The speed of the Dreadnoughts was relatively slow. When Shen Xuan's army was separated from the army on the street, the Snow Eagle Knights had already caused nearly 1,000 casualties to them.
This accounted for half of the total casualties.
Seeing that the pursuers were the Dreadnoughts, Shen Xuan felt relieved. At least in a pursuit battle, the Dreadnoughts were not threatening.
He stared at the sky. Hundreds of Flame Demons were running over him. There was an elevator nearby, with a life value of 50,000.
He thought about transporting the legion to the upper level through the elevator, but because the air force could easily destroy the elevator, he divided the army into two places and fell into a passive position.
The legion of underground forces then took another road, an ascending street similar to a winding mountain road.
After the army appeared on the upper floors of the big fortress, they then rushed to the area with dense buildings. It was not suitable for the Snow Vultures to fight in the air, and they would be safe.
Yanmo arrived faster than them, and Shen Xuan used them to do two things. The first was to cover the army, and the second was to block the attack. It took them nearly 10 minutes to reach the top of the big fortress.
However, the sacrifice was greater than he imagined, because Ashoka seemed to have thought that he would never use the Balrog to deal with the Snow Vulture Knights, so he ordered the Rune Priest to eliminate the Balrog in the air first.
Balrogs with nearly level 70 are a force that cannot be ignored by any party, especially when they appear in the air and are exposed in front of the priest, they are like targets.
Shen Xuan's army retreated, and the dwarves in the big fortress divided into two groups, one heading towards Shen Xuan, and the other heading towards the underground Flame Dragon Knights station.
They were delayed for a full 20 minutes, and the Flame Dragon Knights were helpless.
In front of Shen Xuan, after getting rid of the pursuit of the Snow Vulture Knights, he finally ushered in the attack of the Fearless Legion.
The wizards spread to the corners, and the Balrogs destroyed the dwarf dwellings and formed a defense line in the ruins. They did not care about the death of a few dwarf civilians, because from the beginning of the battle to the present, countless civilians had died innocently due to the flames of war.
It has to be said that the Fearless are indeed one of the best legions in the Skills Council. Even if the Guardian's level 9 range magic hits the body, it will only cause about one-fifth of the damage of 2000. You can imagine how difficult it is to deal with them when there are 20,000 of them.
Wearing the most sophisticated battle armor of the dwarves and covering his whole body with a defense of over 1500, he was like a tin can. The heavy crossbow used to snipe the knights was ineffective at all.
They advanced in formation like tanks, followed by the priests of the Rune Circle. Healing, buffing, and dispersing, the Demon-Slaying Priest was completing one thing after another. In the face of the perfect configuration, Shen Xuan's advantage was only on the battlefield.
However, he had never thought about completely wiping out the dwarves. This was a goal that only ambitious players would set. If the dwarves were really that easy to deal with, this race would have disappeared from the world long ago.
Shen Xuan also discovered that Ashoka actually encouraged the dwarves to destroy the elevators connecting the upper and lower floors. There were six elevators in total. If they were to destroy them all and block the intersections, they would really have no way to go up to the sky and no way down to the earth.
Shen Xuan was a little nervous. It had been a long time since there had been such an interesting battle. Was it a year or two? He still remembered that he had experienced being mercilessly abused again and again when he was training. Could it be that Ashoka has the level to pose a threat to him?
Maybe yes, because of the numerical advantage of the Great Maurya Dynasty, countless proposals will always produce a good one, but it will be subject to one kind or another restriction.
But he is independent. The reason why the territory does not implement the so-called parliamentary system and democracy is because he believes that he can solve difficulties alone. In the face of personal charm, he is their god in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of residents in Dusk Town. No one can replace him, and no one can veto him. This is his advantage.
Maybe he should make some changes to influence Ashoka's judgment, because forceful killing is also a tactic. Since it is a tactic, it must have its shortcomings. Maybe forceful killing tactics are versatile and practical, but they will eventually encounter Ways to restrain it.
After Shen Xuan moved the battlefield to a situation that was favorable to him, he began to arrange it layer by layer. While blocking the attack of the Fearless, he also controlled the battlefield in the surrounding areas to prevent their retreat from being affected. At the same time, he tried not to reduce the casualties caused by the Fearless. , allowing them to surround themselves and become a special "shield" for the army.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes. Ashoka didn't notice it at first and asked the players and NPCs to block the way out from several roads. As long as they blocked it, the fearless ones who fought hard inside could win. After all, the levels of the two sides were not much different. The Dauntless were numerically superior, and the Lord had no way of winning.
However, the battle dragged on for a long time. The Flame Dragon Knights were already in chaos. 50,000 underground coalition forces were slaughtering the members of the Knights. The players who rescued also did not gain an advantage. One was too late, and the other was an underground force. Three-quarters of the army was there, and they were no match for it.
If King Ashoka mobilizes all the troops from the north, they can certainly complete the task of defending. If the underground city turns to attack the north, King Ashoka will definitely suffer a big loss, so the assumption of "what if" is meaningless.
In the final analysis, even if they prepared a good defense and fought a perfect defensive battle, there were too many troops dispatched in the underground city. They were deceived from the beginning and successfully moved the strategic center to the border first, and then they were unaware of the situation. They transferred back unconsciously, so they still lost.
Ashoka's brain was a little confused. There were countless pieces of information coming from all directions. He found it difficult to fully digest the information and make the best judgment.
He suddenly couldn't think of a way to end the battle quickly. He couldn't use divine scrolls, which would hurt innocent people and cause a loss of reputation. He couldn't use guild power, which would affect the attack of the Fearless Legion.
If he had remained calm at this time, Ashoka might be able to find a way to deal with the lord, but bad news came from the Flame Dragon Knights. All the targets they protected were wiped out, and the long-awaited underground legion was freed.
The Flame Dragon Knights can be said to be the ultimate embodiment of the ground power of the Council of Arts, but they were strangled in the cradle before they even appeared on the scene. This was a major blow to the Council of Arts, and the Great Maurya Dynasty became increasingly passive, even though there was a prey within reach in front of them.
