Blood Dragon

On the screen, this completely one-sided battle on the fort was clearly shown.It wasn't even a massacre, it was just a lunch.When the animalized vampire rushed to the fort, the fate of the gunner and magician on the fort had actually been decided.A gunner who uses a short sword as a melee weapon is fine against small animals like bats, but facing a bloodthirsty beast vampire, it can hardly be called resistance.All gunners who did not have time to jump off the battery and escape were killed in a very short time.

The two magicians resisted more or less.Knife-like shards of ice were summoned out of the air, fiercely attacking the lycanthropy vampire.Under normal circumstances, this magic can greatly damage the eyesight and mind of the enemy, but the beast vampires ignore it, but are busy tearing the victim's body, using their huge claws to tear the victim's muscles into pieces. Stripped off the bone.

Another magician fired a magic bullet of pure energy from his hand.This time, he fell on the beastly vampire, leaving a scar.But this injury was far from fatal. The painful animal vampire immediately dropped the food in his hand and rushed over, tearing the two mages into several pieces in a few seconds.

A powerful weapon of war, that is, the Gale Cannon, is just a piece of scrap iron without a cao author.Before the lycanthropic vampires wiped out the gunners, the gunners had just finished filling and hadn't had time to fire.

"Well, I said before, the man I'm looking at can't lose so easily." Yilan said in a leisurely manner. "Look, the giant sword soldier is about to collapse."

She is telling the truth.Through the picture of Zhong Yang in the room in front of her, she can clearly see the overall situation of the battlefield.As they said and discussed before, in the original battle, the giant sword soldiers were already at a disadvantage. If they were not interfered by any third party, they would eventually collapse as casualties slowly accumulated.But right now, the participation of the animalized vampires immediately changed this matter from "slowly" to "in the blink of an eye".

These behemoths rampage on the battlefield, invincible.On the one hand, this is because the beast vampires themselves are a group of deadly warriors, and on the other hand, it is also because the previous assault of the tomb ghosts disrupted the formation of the giant sword soldiers, making the battle a melee, which is more conducive to the beast vampires wreaking havoc.

The picture was zoomed in again, and this time it was clearly seen that a beast-like vampire was biting a victim in its mouth, swinging that miserable body around in the air.And this scene eventually destroyed the fighting spirit of the nearby giant sword fighters, and they began to flee backwards instead of rushing up against the strong enemy.

On the battlefield, fear is contagious.In fact, in many battles, the catastrophe that led to the collapse of the entire army may have been caused by the escape of only a few cowards at first.When the first person starts to escape, if there is no timely stop by the captain or his companions, then there will be a second and third follower immediately.They will quickly form a fleeing group in a small area, and with their actual actions, those who could have continued to persevere have lost their courage.In the end, all this will turn into a terrible wave of demoralization of the entire army.

"The left wing has collapsed, and the cannon has been destroyed before it could function," Elan commented. "Although Leto's main force is still very complete, but now..."

"It's still very early." The gray-white cloak replied in an unwilling tone. "The Scarlet Duke doesn't have any hole cards anymore. You see, no matter how stupid Leto is, he can understand that this situation is not right. Zhong Yang's infantry has already divided into several units. They have no time to rescue the collapse of the giant sword soldiers, but at least they can protect the army The flanks are not being attacked. Also, look at this side, Leto has already understood that he cannot defend in place, and the armored knights are already preparing to charge. Finally, the defeated giant swordsmen still have the opportunity to regroup and enter the battlefield... A sentence In other words, the current situation can only be said to be evenly matched, not to mention who wins and who loses."

"Yes, maybe what you said is right. But remember, before just now, Leto had a clear advantage." Yilan didn't mean to argue at all, but just stated a fact calmly.

On the battlefield, Ryan's army has indeed responded.It's unclear whether it was Leto or someone else who made the decision, but at least the fact that one wing collapsed didn't immediately decide the outcome. Zhong Yang's infantry was ready to fight against the enemy's outflanking, while the knights on the right wing had already begun to drive their horses, preparing to launch the first wave of assault.

When the left wing collapsed, the Ryan people's right wing had also launched an assault.Ryan's armored knight is indeed worthy of the title of elite in the army.They charged from the front, cutting into the zombies like steel knives.This assault fully demonstrated the disparity in the combat power of the two sides. The slow-moving and mentally retarded zombies were pierced and crushed by the knights like paper, knocked down by the horses, and trampled. It was only the first wave of assault. A large piece of the zombie group was directly cut off.The knights themselves suffered only negligible casualties.

After all the impact of the horses poured on the enemy, the knights dropped their lances, pulled out their sidearms, and started the second round of hand-to-hand combat.Just like everyone knows, undead creatures are just puppets controlled and manipulated by black magic. They don't know how to retreat at all, they only know how to attack forward.This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.The advantage is that even in the face of such a terrible charge of the armored knight, the zombies still go forward unswervingly, instead of turning around and running away like humans.The disadvantage is that they suffer far more casualties than human soldiers because they do not know how to use retreat to avoid enemy attacks.

"Damn, what are they doing!" Leto cursed.From an objective point of view, he shouldn't have uttered this curse, because it was he who had strictly ordered the Knights not to take the initiative to attack.And the knights just launched the first round of offensive. Anyone can see that the results of the knights' battle are amazing.

But among human beings, there are very few people who know how to find mistakes in themselves.Most people will consciously or unconsciously find reasons in others.The reason Leto cursed was simple, the knights did not have a formation that could penetrate the zombies in the first wave of charge.At this very moment, the ghouls and beast-like vampires who had defeated the giant sword soldiers had already begun to detour to the rear of the army, and those beast-like vampires rushed directly to cover the flanks of the main force under their uncontrollable bloodthirsty impulse. team.These giant beasts still rampaged in the well-formed sword-shield infantry team, killing the sword-shield infantry severely.

Leto was a little panicked just now.When the lycanthropy vampire rushed to defeat the giant sword soldier, he almost felt a burst of despair.Fortunately, at this moment, several of his experienced lieutenants reminded him in time—just as the two spectators who watched the battle from a distant place said, at this moment, the Ryan people are still far from being defeated.

One of the two lieutenants volunteered to lead the knights to charge immediately, while the other rushed to the left flank and quickly organized troops to face the threat from the flank.Leto accepted their opinions unconditionally in the absence of a master.And the battle situation quickly developed according to their predictions.Although the animalized vampires were extremely ferocious, in front of the dense formation, they were not able to tear a gap in the front line and quickly cause a catastrophic rout as they did just now.Although the sword and shield infantry suffered heavy casualties, they managed to hold on to this crucial wave after all.

Even Leto, who was in a state of panic, could see that the situation was far from that bad.In addition, the ghouls chasing the giant sword soldiers were blocked by musketeers and archers, coupled with the defense of some halberd soldiers temporarily deployed, so that the remaining giant sword soldiers were finally able to temporarily retreat instead of chasing The entire army was wiped out.All this finally calmed him down.He hasn't lost yet, at least he is still far away from losing.

His immediate hope is that the central infantry can withstand the attack from both sides, and the knights can wipe out the large group of zombies before the central infantry is defeated.And this doesn't seem to be particularly difficult right now.Just a few units have withstood the pressure from the flanks, and the combat effectiveness of the skeleton soldiers-to be honest, their real combat effectiveness lies in their terrifying appearance, not the rusty swords in their hands.

Also, in the fierce battle with the giant sword soldiers just now, those mutated ghouls have suffered great losses under the attacks of giant swords, magic and muskets.And since the beastly vampire's attack was blocked, the remaining problems would not be too big...

"Your Highness... I would like to draw your attention to one thing." Bernando beside him said suddenly.

"what?"

"So far, it seems that the black mages under the vampires haven't cast any magic on a large scale." Bernando was sweating coldly, and his face looked a little pale-this is the sign of exhaustion of energy from casting magic. "It's impossible for them to do nothing. This is very abnormal. Please pay attention."

"Don't you have a scroll to break the magic?" Leto asked back.After knowing that Bernando carried a large number of magic-breaking scrolls, magic had become one of the last things he needed to think about.The value of black mages is of course to use magic, and their magic is ineffective-it's just a matter of consumption of the magic-breaking scroll.

"Even so..., to be honest, I can always feel the operation of black magic, but I can't see any magic effect. Also, Your Highness, don't you think it's abnormal that the fog hasn't subsided?"

Indeed, it was already morning, and the early morning mist should have dissipated long ago.But right now, the fog did not appear to be about to disperse in the slightest.Not only that, unconsciously, the fog has thickened significantly, and the field of vision is narrower than before.What Leto faced at this moment was a stumbling river of the dead, and this river was half hidden in the mist, with no end in sight.

"Did those black magicians do it?" Leto was a little puzzled.It has been confirmed that the previous haze was indeed a natural phenomenon.Now, is it still necessary to do this?Moreover, Bernando also said before that it takes a lot of energy to disperse the fog, and it is definitely not an easy job to thicken the fog.

What the hell are vampires trying to do?

"Your Highness, although I don't know what tricks the vampires are playing, but you must not relax." Bernando added suddenly. "The most elite undead troops of vampires, those barren grave guards, haven't appeared yet."

By the way... vampires and elite troops... Leto suddenly felt a chill.

A series of terrifying explosions suddenly sounded.Before Leto recovered, a shell flew not far in front of him.Powered by gunpowder, the solid shells of terrifying power plowed through the dense formation of Ryan's warriors, leaving a trail of blood full of stumps and flesh.

what happened?Because this was so sudden and unacceptable that Leto could only stand dumbfounded for a while, watching the shells cause unbelievable damage to his army.This is not one or two shells, but dozens, hundreds of shells.In other words, this is no ordinary bombardment, but destructive destruction, complete destruction.

Then, the vampire's skeletal warriors, pressing down from the front, began to engage the petrified Ryan infantry.

"What happened?" Leto wanted to ask, but his voice was choked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

"Your Highness!" Someone shouted angrily from behind. "The vampires sent their own gunners to occupy the battery. They turned our cannons around and shot us!"
