Chapter 229 Retreat
The main forces of both sides are exhausted on the front line, but the camp in the rear has been captured by Norton's side. The current situation is quite embarrassing - withdrawing too many soldiers from the front line will lead to collapse, and on the contrary, the rear will be threatened by the enemy.

Originally Kane's side estimated that they hoped to offset Norton's local strength advantage with the victory in high-level combat power, but because of the unplanned giant dragon, in the end, the high-level combat power of his subordinates was compromised a lot.

By now, Rudolph and Kane have probably understood the situation. The intensity of confrontation between the two sides began to decrease, and at the same time they began to deploy troops to deal with the enemies behind them.They couldn't fully open their hearts to the enemy who had fought each other a second ago, and left a sufficient number of soldiers to guard against the opponent.

A leader who is stable enough will look for an opportunity to lead the large army out at this time. Anyway, neither Norton nor the Guards can cause a devastating blow to their main force. As long as they are not in chaos, it is difficult to have a chance.

At this time, a leader who is bold enough may first concentrate on attacking the opponent whose morale is starting to slacken. This can effectively boost morale and allow the main force to act without any scruples. Anyway, the combined forces of Norton and the two sides are still in numbers. At a disadvantage, the chances of winning are still not small.

Now they have made this unanimous decision, which is not a big mistake, but it is really not a good choice for the current situation.

At the same time, the mobile forces in their hands also began to act—the merchants have sufficient funds and channels, the nobles have vast land to produce and sell themselves, and they also have a lot of war horses in their hands. Now these cavalry are beginning to act , preparing to press Norton's line from the side.

In this regard, Norton also pulled out the artillery and muskets imported from the dwarves, and began to pour firepower on the enemy cavalry from a distance.

In the absence of perfect fortifications, the powerful cavalry still suppressed ordinary infantry and artillery during this period. The accuracy of the guns at long distances was impressive, and when they could not shoot a few shots at close range, they would be killed by the cavalry. Catch up and be quickly wiped out.

But this is the world of sword and magic after all, and magicians can often produce unexpected effects.The third prince is supported by a large number of mages, and they have contributed their strength at this time.

In ten minutes, the artillery and infantry had just arrived at their positions, and before they even took the shells out of the wooden box, the mages urgently used magic to build a relatively sound and solid line of defense. Shoot down on the cavalry.

The other party also had not-so-weak mages. As a countermeasure, they used magic to destroy a short section of the fortifications. Out of caution, the cavalry did not file in through the narrow opening. Instead, they wandered cautiously outside the range of the muskets, worried After entering it, you will be surrounded by more soldiers.

Spending time on the battlefield where time is precious is not an option. After the infantry responded, the cavalry began to turn to attack the Norton troops who had captured the camp. However, on Tang Zhao's side, it was difficult to build up many fortifications due to the fact that the camp was stronger. There is progress, and it is difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

In the direction of Rudolph, the situation is even more troublesome. Their numerical advantage is not particularly large, and their quality is not as good as the private soldiers trained by the nobles for many years. The troops still made it difficult for Rudolph to make progress.

In this case, Norton chose to use his trump card—several spellcasters riding griffins rose from the center of Norton's army and came above Rudolph's army, holding mage staffs of the same specification in their hands , began to emit light.

Tang Zhao looked at the leader, the caster in a dark yellow robe, with serious eyes - this is a sixth-level spellcaster who can cast quite a variety of mass destruction magic, especially when the caster is assisted Even more so when

The color of the robe can often represent the level of the caster, especially in the military. Rudolf's mages also realized something was wrong after seeing the light during the casting process, and tried their best to stop them.

Tang Zhao has always been on guard against mages, and has prepared enough weapons and equipment for them - a team of elf rangers equipped with longbows, and there are special black arrows in the quiver, that is, using Tang Zhao scales and many An arrow made of a mixture of metals.

Draw the bow and set the arrow, aim at the magician Rudolph Fang who is about to cast a spell, and shoot dense and extremely precise arrows.

The magic equipment carried by the mages immediately glowed after detecting an abnormality, forming a shield around the mage, but the level of these shields was not high enough, and they lost their effect immediately after touching Tang Zhao's scaled arrows. The frail mage was directly hit by the arrows, and instantly many people became hedgehogs and died on the spot.

Despite the risk of leaking some details, in the end Tang Zhao handed over the arrows to the elves, and their superb shooting skills really lived up to expectations.

Being able to accurately hit the enemy at a distance of hundreds of meters or even further, even in the dark environment, being able to maintain an accuracy of more than [-]% is already shocking.

Immediately afterwards, several ballistas continued to shoot at the surviving mages. Although they missed the shots due to poor accuracy, they also seriously interfered with the opponents, forcing them to dodge.

The time gained was enough for the mages on Norton's side to prepare their magic.

Dazzling yellow light emanated from the staff of the leading mage, and then split into dozens of red beads. The mage pointed at the panicked crowd below, and the red beads began to fly towards the ground.

After a delay of a few seconds, the beads exploded at the same time, blowing up a large amount of soil on the ground like a bomb, as well as a large number of ordinary soldiers standing on the ground.

As if being bombarded by more than a dozen howitzers, Rudolph's army suffered heavy losses in an instant, and the formation was blown apart.

Ordinary delayed burst fireballs can be used at about the fourth level, and can be used in actual combat normally.But using more than a dozen fireballs at a time to increase the combat ability of each fireball is not something most people can do.

The caster didn't stop because of this, but began to accumulate magic power for the next attack. At the same time, the heavy cavalry in the camp also began to rush out of the camp, and began to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the blasted enemy troops.

Even the modern army may not be able to withstand this kind of multi-layered attack, let alone Rudolph's private soldiers. Maybe they can show unexpected courage and strength when they fight against aliens, but this is a civil war, and both sides Not particularly strong willpower.

Ever since, after experiencing a multi-layered attack, Rudolph became the first to leave the field, and could only flee back to the camp in despair.
