Blood tax

Chapter 491 Silver Dawn
Rebel commanders at all levels on the front lines have noticed the fighting on the low hills.Like the ancient gods of the wilderness, the unstoppable Yahai easily tore through Byelan's line of defense and was about to usher in a complete victory.However, in a very short period of time, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and those majestic shadows like mountains suddenly disintegrated, falling down one after another.

The rebel army, which was about to penetrate the line of defense, seemed to have been terribly sniped and stopped in place.

The three senior commanders, the fallen wizard Serel, the terrifying knight Green, and the demon hunter Palari, who are always paying attention to the battlefield, immediately found Oscar and questioned him:

"Is this your trump card that even the gods will retreat from?"

"Why were you defeated so easily!"

Oscar, the commander of Gorum, looked solemn like the ice of the extreme north.At the end of the field of vision, the most powerful comrade-in-arms in Yahai he was looking at had disappeared.

After Katz, the breath of Mika, the most loyal and brave partner, also disappeared.

"You have something to say!" Demon hunter Palari stepped forward and grabbed Oscar's collar, "Our fighters still have the upper hand. However, the most powerful Gurum fighter suffered heavy losses. If Bayer Lan's Transcendent launched a counterattack, can you provide cover?

"Should we, should we retreat!?"

"Or stop?" The fallen wizard Serel also echoed.

Only infantry cannot fight.

Densely lined infantry phalanxes, reconnaissance rangers and breakthrough heavy cavalry, as well as long-range support archers and trebuchets are combined to form a complete army.In addition, although the Beyonders and mythical creatures with defense, firepower, and mobility beyond the limits of human beings are small in number, they are decisive assault and counter-assault forces.

Without the power of the mysterious side, the regular army will suffer greater losses when breaking through the defense line, and it is easy to be defeated when the enemy's high-level combat power counterattacks.

"No problem, my comrades." Oscar finally spoke.However, these few simple words seem to have exhausted all his strength, and it is as difficult to climb up from the abyss of despair.

"I can't stop," Oscar raised his tone, "Byeland's strong men have been dispersed and restrained. Without their leadership, their infantry will be drowned in the sea of ​​rebel fighters like weeds.

"Keep going, comrades, Bayeran's troops are dying, and we cannot give them a chance to breathe.

"My Gulam troops will take the lead in the attack. All our columns must concentrate all our troops and strike with all our might!"

……

Led by Spine Daedalus, Blood Drinker Medisa, and Demon Eye Eget from the Gorum army, the three thousand elite soldiers of the rebel army, under the cover of nearly a hundred hybrid experimental subjects, began to move towards the dwarfs. Advance over the mound.

Oscar is among them.Instead of taking on the mythical form of the manticore, he wore his coat as usual and walked forward with his head raised.

There were scattered fighters everywhere on the hillside.The column that had launched the attack earlier had become disorganized in the condescending fire and ensuing melee.The soldiers of the rebel army gave up the muskets and bows that they could not use, and armed with long spears, halberds and big swords, under the cover of the hybrid experimental body, they marched forward in a tight column.

They could have concentrated more troops, but not long ago, the communication with the rear command was broken.Some disturbing news came from the camp behind the army side, it seems that a terrifying monster attacked there.

However, Oscar and the others didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to these things.At this decisive moment, all the power of the mysterious side must be concentrated, not scattered, in order to deal the final blow to Byelan's army.

Let's talk about other things later!

Oscar moved forward under the escort of his companions.They have long since lost their human form, whether it is a young girl or a simple farmer and herdsman who joined later, their hands and feet have become wriggling tentacles, their bodies are covered with lizard scales, and sharp bony spurs protrude from their backs.

Everyone has been transformed into an inhuman form by the potion.

The leader of the young soldiers who led them looked back at Isius who was standing still in the center of the battlefield with a complicated expression.

"What are you doing? Iseus...

"We lost Mika and Kaz, and even you can't fight anymore?"

A series of explosions and the whistling of arrows disrupted his thoughts, followed by an inhuman howl.Ghulam and soldiers at the front had already engaged Bayeran's stubborn troops.

Oscar looked up, but he could only see the shaking spears and flying rocks and fragments.The advancing procession had come to a halt.

What about the farms and mines in the fertile Vero River valley, a peaceful and normal life...Iseus, in the end, isn't it still like this?

Oscar remembered his alliance with Iseus, leading the young soldiers of Westeros to take root in this war-torn land.Even though it happened last year, countless things happened.

What do you mean from now on, we will no longer be puppets and tools of others, and we can truly control our own destiny... Iseus, in the end, isn't it still like this?

If it wasn't for the vague and familiar anomaly on Isius, Oscar doubted whether he would have accepted Isius's proposal back then.Would it have made a difference if I had chosen another path?
It probably won't make a difference.

Oscar felt that his cells were bursting, his body seemed to be roasted by fire at times, and soaked in ice water at other times, different pains came alternately.

He is a hybrid experimental body prepared by great wizards and adults, a mixture of human and monster.From the day he swallowed the potion, he had no choice.

You don't have a choice either, Iseus, who is obviously the same as us, a pathetic existence.

The attacking team shouted loudly, and Daedalus at the forefront seemed to have broken through Bayeran's gun array.Dread Knight Green is leading his Freedom Riders, followed by Hoplites.

The whole front is in motion, and victory is at hand.

"I'm coming, Iseus."

Oscar tore off his coat and threw it on the ground, and took a last look at the frozen Flesh Fortress that looked like a cocoon.

"I'm going, Iseus, don't stop there!
"Come on, let's smash this miserable and painful world, and drag those high gods off their thrones!"

His body was expanding, a scorpion tail and bat wings grew out of his body, and his handsome face also turned into the appearance of a lion.With a human voice, he yelled at the warriors shouting at the mountains and tsunami:

"attack!"

……

Columns of mutated warriors, pikemen and halberdiers unleashed a full-on blow on Byeran's position.Daedalus, the strongest tauren, and Grimm's foot cavalry fared best.There was an alternate and regular thump, the scrape of armor, the clash of swords, and a wild pant.

All the fighters charged towards the top of the low hill, trying to take down the highest point of the ridge in one go, and then rush down from the back of the mountain.The troops commanded by Ophelia, LS, Warren Haydn and others were defeated one after another, and the defense line appeared in a situation like the sky falling apart.

Even the Canaan ghosts led by Galadia couldn't resist.They have the most sophisticated equipment and combat skills, but there are shining armor-piercing spears in all directions, and these extraordinary elites have to retreat temporarily.

Nearby rebels were also encouraged.Having suffered heavy losses in previous battles, they would pick themselves up again, sweeping in with a thunderous aura of lava.

The besieged Bayeran forces could no longer hold out.Some squadrons with exposed flanks were wiped out almost instantly.

Dread Knight Grimm cut off a musketeer's arm with his long sword and kicked him down.The tomahawk of Daedalus the Tauren set off a bloodbath in the crowd.The four infantry battalions of Bayeran that had been ravaged by them could not find a complete squadron.

"We won!" Green raised his giant sword and shouted at Oscar, "We have taken the Borodino hill!"

Oscar stepped on his majestic four hooves, stepped over the corpses, and came to them.He looked around, and replied, "Oh! Then cross the ridge and take down Baiyelan's luggage."

Medisa was guarding him: "It felt suddenly quiet. I didn't catch up with the action. The people of Byelan were wiped out. I didn't expect it to be so easy."

Eget shook his tentacles and said, "It's all thanks to Mika and the others. The battle just now has exhausted Byelan's fighting power."

Medisa whispered: "But Mika and the others..."

"Cheer up!" Oscar said loudly, "We have finally won, thanks to the hard work of our companions, we must work harder! That strange boat below the mountain has the power to be our allies, we... "

Before the words were finished, the giant ship of the dead, Alombis, suddenly fired thunderous artillery fire on the flooded Densa River.The shooting direction was clearly towards the low hill.

"What's going on!" The rebels gathered at the top of the low hill bent down together to avoid the dangerous shelling.However, the shells did not arrive as expected, but instead ushered in the roar of the second round of salvo.

"What happened to that ship!?" Some rebels roared, "Why attack us?"

Tremors came from the ground, like the shock of a heavy shell falling down.However, in this shaking and trembling, Oscar also detected a different, more serious resonance.

This is……

"Line up! Form the formation! This bombardment is not aimed at us!" Oscar jumped up, "The battle is not over yet!"

The rebel fighters who avoided the shelling did not react.The top platform of the low hill, Bayeran's defense line, headquarters, artillery positions and supplies have all been captured, so what else...

"Look over there!"

"what is that!"

Suddenly someone shouted.The soldiers raised their heads and saw a bright line of spear stabs on the ridge leading to the south slope.

The haze covering the battlefield was pierced by this ray of light.In the direction of the ridgeline, amidst the continuous bombardment roar, a silver dawn rose.

"Line up, move forward!"

Griffith returned to his unit.He held up the eagle flag, and the Ravenel Fusiliers Battalion directly under him and the Harandir half-elf brigade who came to reinforce them lined up behind him. The silver breastplate and shiny spears were connected into a slender silver line, It extends all the way to the edge of the low hill.

Under the leadership of Midemah and Harandir, they lay in ambush behind the ridgeline until the rebels seized the top of the low hill and remained in ambush.Alombis, who discovered the ambush, hurriedly bombarded them with artillery fire, but Roland and the elite soldiers trained by Canaan remained motionless.Until their commander, Griffith, came back among them.

1400 fusiliers and rangers lined up.They lined up under the eagle flag, neatly lined up, and looked calm.When they emerged from the current battle clouds and mists, thousands of rebels saw the god of victory spread his wings and fly to the battlefield.

Griffith holds the flag in his left hand and Hanguang in his right hand:
"All troops, raise your guns to your shoulders!"

The sound of gunshots and the buzzing of the ranger's bow were like sea waves, bayonets were inserted under the barrels of the guns, and sharp arrows were attached to the bowstrings.Griffith could even see the horrified expression on the enemy's face.

Suddenly thunder and lightning rolled in the sky where the haze had receded, and the light drove away the gloomy mist, chasing to the far end of the horizon.The distance between the two armies was less than thirty yards.

Regardless of monsters or mortals, all beings are equal under the close salvo!
"Let us announce the end of the old era with hot lead bullets."

Griffith pressed down the holy sword in his hand.

"volley!"
