Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 452: Void Armament

"How could this be?" Oru thought that his eyes were dizzy. He was riding a tall and majestic warhorse. From this point of view, the number of troops outside Setting Sun City exceeded his expectations.

Raffles put down his telescope and shook his head. "That's impossible. There can't be so many of their troops. Perhaps they brought civilians and slaves together?"

"What a joke!" Oru denied without hesitation, "Have you ever seen the morale and killing intent of commoners and slaves?"

"That's right." '"Then how did they get so many soldiers?" Murmured Lafus, letting go of the inspiration that had come into contact with the truth.

"Who knows? Mercenaries? Or reinforcements from the Earl " Originally, Oru had only casually said this, but the last sentence caused both him and Raffles to tremble at the same time.

"Is it really Earl Oban's army? Aren't they at odds with Lord Daniel's army in the Emerald Mountains?" Raffles said with his mouth agape.

"It's hard to say. It took us five to six days longer than we expected. It's not surprising what's going to happen in almost a week." Oru's face darkened. "That's hard to say."

As if to confirm their thoughts, the two knights were racking their brains to think about the origin of Allen's soldiers when murderous sounds rang out from both sides of the battlefield. Raffles' hands trembled as he raised his binoculars and swept them. The camera was filled with dust and smoke. In the thick smoke, one could vaguely see cavalry approaching the battlefield. On one or two of the flags was the design of the Ark Harbor!

Also watching this scene were the commanders and soldiers of the army. Two streaks of dust billowed like dragons, spreading from both sides towards the battlefield. Looking at the formation, there was a hidden tendency to surround the Alliance Army. Seeing this situation, not only did the soldiers feel uneasy, even the two experienced commanders panicked. They began to look at their masters behind them, apparently losing their balance.

Alan saw the commotion in the enemy's eyes. He knew that the time had come. He raised his voice and said, "Did everyone see it?" Our reinforcements have arrived, and Earl Oban's troops will surround them from the left and right flanks, cutting off each other's retreat. As for us, we will attack from the middle and break through them head-on. Honor and money are right in front of you, just waiting for you to grab them. "Then tell me, what are you waiting for!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

Alan's voice echoed across the battlefield, and not only did the army hear every word of him clearly, but even the knights Oru and Raffles could hear him clearly. The expressions of the two of them couldn't be any worse. Alan indirectly confirmed their speculation that Ou Ban's army had indeed participated in this war. Moreover, he planned to surround them to the left and right, so he naturally wanted to eat them all.

This appetite wasn't small. In the past, the two of them would probably only listen to it as a joke. But now, they couldn't laugh at all.

"Bastard! Retreat, don't leave us behind!"

"Welcome the enemy. Break through the incoming army first."

Oru and Raffles cried out almost at the same time, but their orders were completely different. After shouting, the two of them couldn't help but be stunned. Then Oru shouted, "It's time for you to consider our own safety. Do you want Lord Daniel to pay the ransom for us?"

Rather than retreating to meet the two-winged cavalry, wouldn't it be better to break through in the middle and then turn around and kill back?

"Please open your eyes wide, Sir Raffles. The number of opponents is not below ours. How do you want to break through in the middle?"

Under such pressure, the two knights were at last at odds with each other. As a result, the Bauhinia army had clearly shown signs of retreating, while Dawn Castle's army was suppressing them. As a result, collisions and friction inevitably occurred in the actions of the former soldiers of the army, causing quite a bit of chaos.

Allen looked into his eyes and shouted, "Inch fire, enemy missile coverage, three rounds of bombardment!"

The Inch Fire Warriors who were charging along with the main team immediately acted according to their orders. The flame rifle patterns on his hand lit up, and then the flame missiles flew across the sky. Nearly thirty fireballs flew across the ground without interruption and crashed into the enemy's position. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Noble Alliance Army, fireballs dragged along the tail of flames and smashed into their positions one after another. The continuous explosions formed waves of scorching hot air, pushing down the soldiers outside the explosion, causing huge chaos.

The three waves of bombardment finally converged into a heaven-shaking sound wave, as if it was playing the music of defeat for the Jazz Alliance Army. Instantly, the soldiers in front of the Alliance Army fell to the ground. The Inch Fire Warriors poured out all their Origin Energy in exchange for a violent blow. A fire belt that stretched for tens of meters appeared on the battlefield, illuminating both sides of the battlefield.

Before the Alliance soldiers could recover from the explosion, the Sunset City soldiers had already crossed the fire belt and attacked. Wilick, who was at the front, shouted, "Kill, one gold coin for each person!"

The soldiers behind him immediately let out murderous cries, while the faces of the Alliance soldiers turned ashen. The enemy's reward was ten times theirs. This huge gap was also a big blow, causing the morale of the Alliance Army to drop even further. At this moment, the two armies finally clashed head-on. The frontlines on the border were crisscrossed, and the intense battle caused the air to instantly heat up.

As the fulcrum of the striker, Wilick knew that his mission was to open up the situation. The Angry Beast Armor collided violently with a heavy artillery fist on a warhorse. The terrifying impact caused the warhorse and the cavalry to fly backwards, knocking down a patch of infantry. Wilick roared, his momentum rising, and he pounced forward, knocking down the captain of an enemy soldier.

The heavy punch landed, smashing the captain's chest into a mess of flesh and blood. Under Wilick's heavy punch, the defensive line of Dawn Castle quickly opened up a gap. The soldiers poured in from this gap and expanded it, laying the groundwork for the complete collapse of the enemy's front.

The two-winged salon was approaching, although the two cavalry were moving at an astonishingly slow pace in terms of the distance of their horses. However, the rolling dust created a real pressure. Judging from the extent of the smoke, there were at least two hundred cavalry on each side. Even without the help of infantry, just these 400 cavalry were enough to make the enemy at the rear.

Oru's mood was conflicted. Every second, many strange thoughts and speculations flew through his mind. He was expecting the two-winged cavalry to officially enter the battlefield, so as to provide him with an accurate and clear data for judging and deciding what to do next. But he also hoped that the two salons would never come, because he was afraid that it would be a pile of data that would bring him despair.

In such a complicated mood, Oru still decided to let the army gradually retreat, so that they could deal with the killing from both sides or the rear at any time. In this way, most of the pressure in front of the entire position was placed on Dawn Castle, which made Lafus extremely angry. He had already forgotten how many times he had roared at Oru, but he was unable to change his mind.

In Oru's case, the order to attack Sunset City fell directly on Raffles. His participation was only based on morality and justice, coupled with some feelings of unanimity and hatred towards his enemies. If everything proceeded according to the previous plan, Oru would naturally be willing to lend his full support. However, on the way here, Allen had attacked him, and not only had he lost hundreds of soldiers, but even the heavy armor corps had not been formed.

At such a time, no matter what, he decided to give priority to preserving his strength. Even if Lafus was defeated this time, Daniel would not accuse him of anything. However, if he and Lafus were to be defeated together, then his strength would suffer a huge blow. Even under Daniel's banner, there has always been a lot of competition and friction between vassals. Oru didn't want to give the other Lords a chance to take advantage of this. This was the reason why he had to withdraw his troops despite Lafus' accusations and pressure.

However, if Oru knew that the two cavalry teams that had not arrived were actually made up of less than twenty to thirty soldiers, Oru would probably vomit blood from anger. Those warriors weren't even orthodox cavalry, they only knew how to ride. There were more than a dozen cavalry on each side. They drew a distance and tied their horses to the branches with ropes. As the warhorses galloped, the branches scraped across the ground, bringing dust and smoke, creating the illusion that a large number of cavalry were galloping at the same time.

The battlefield around Sunset City did indeed have no dangerous ground to rely on, but the open environment was not necessarily a bad thing. For example, the smoke was so high that the people on the battlefield could clearly see it. All of these plans kept the other soldiers in the dark. They even thought that reinforcements were really coming, otherwise, their morale would not be as high as a rainbow.

There were only a few people who knew the entire deployment, and Tomen was one of them. When he heard Alan set up the whole plan last night, he was still not convinced. Now that he saw that the situation on the battlefield was unfolding according to Alan's plan, he truly admired him. However, Tommen did not know that the reason for this was because of the pressure Allen had exerted on the enemy over the past week.

If it weren't for the pressure and the shadows in the hearts of the two knights, it wouldn't have been so easy to accomplish all of this.

The front of Dawn Castle had already moved backwards, and their commanders had no choice but to gather the scattered soldiers, retreat, and continue to organize another line of defense. On the other hand, the Bauhinia side retreated as they fought. Their troops were dozens of meters apart from their allies. Without a doubt, the Bauhinia Army still retained its vitality. Alan simply ignored them and allowed the army to maintain their suppression, but concentrated 70% of their strength to attack Dawn Castle.

After giving a few orders, Allen glanced at the Mountain King Warrior behind him and said, "It's our turn."

"Front infantry, hold on! Everyone, don't be afraid!"

"Fire. Gun Squad, retreat."

"Dammit! What the hell are Bauhinia and the others doing? Why aren't they supporting us?" The commander of Dawn Castle shouted loudly, but at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to the actions of the Alliance Army. The battlefield was constantly changing. He could only concentrate all of his attention and react as quickly as possible, desperately blocking the attack of Sunset City.

This was far from the siege he had expected. The commander did not understand why his side, as the attacker, was now passively defending. Without Bauhinia's support, the number of troops in Dawn Castle was immediately compared to Sunset City. In addition, there was a difference in morale between the two sides. Although the commander's orders were accurate, his reaction was flexible, and his commanding skills weren't up to the standard of a famous general, he was still considered a qualified general.

However, he was still unable to reverse his weakness and could only endure it with painstaking effort. As the battle unfolded, the commander began to notice that the enemy had some special warriors. There weren't many of them, but their movements were strange. Shuttling through the positions of their own armies, they continuously attacked and killed the low-ranking officers of Dawn Castle. One had to know that these officers were the important fulcrums that supported the entire position. Once they lost these fulcrums, the front would not be far from collapsing.

However, the commander could not spare any more men to deal with those special warriors. When he gave another order, the commander's entire body suddenly turned cold. The adjutant beside him looked at him with a puzzled expression, followed by an expression of disbelief. The commander noticed that his line of sight had deviated from him and landed behind him.

Someone behind him?

He also reacted swiftly, as he drew out his horse saber and sliced it backwards. However, a cold voice sounded beside him. "You did a good job, but it's over."

Next, a large amount of black mist rose from the ground, enveloping the people and horses. The adjutant could not see what was happening in the fog at all. He could only hear the sounds of weapons hitting each other and a short scream. Then the fog dissipated, the warhorses had already run back, and the corpse of the commander was left on the ground. His eyes were wide open and blood flowed down his neck.

Beside the corpse of the commander stood a man dressed in black. He smiled at the adjutant and waved his hand. A ball of black mist quickly surged and spread.

That was the last scene the adjutant saw.

I wonder who shouted, "The commander is dead!"

These words caused the army of Dawn Castle, which was already at a disadvantage, to lose even faster. Welik took the opportunity to launch a powerful attack with his soldiers and immediately dispersed the enemy's front. Without a commander, the army had no leader and immediately fell into a dilemma. The soldiers didn't know whether to attack or defend, but at this moment, three black and red pillars of fire shot into the sky at the center of the position, blasting dozens of soldiers to death. Not far away, Allen, who had unleashed his flames, drew his heavy saber and pointed forward, "Mountain King, throw your axe!"

After a simple order, a steel axe whistled and swept through tens of meters of space into the enemy formation, immediately harvesting a large number of soldiers. After throwing all the axes on his body, the Mountain King Warrior who had picked up the warhammer squeezed out a roar from his chest and charged with Alan.

At this point in the battle, the troops of Dawn Castle were completely defeated, and the front was in chaos, surrounded and killed by Allen. Seeing this scene, Lafus held his head and shouted loudly. With a pinch of his feet, he rode his horse and rushed towards the position.

Oru sighed, knowing that Lafus was not planning to go back. He could only order the troops to retreat completely, and Bauhinia had to take advantage of this opportunity to leave. Otherwise, when the other party eats Raffles, it will be his turn.

Before leaving, he looked at the salon at the end of the two wings, and Oru couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this time, he finally knew that it was just an empty weapon from Allen.
