Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 178 Confrontation
It is not the best choice for the cavalry to charge forward. If you want to achieve the best results, you must cooperate with the advance of the infantry. Even in a fantasy world, this law is difficult to change.

However, there will always be great changes on the battlefield. Truzzi, who has a clear advantage in numbers, and the Chaos coalition began to charge. Even if Asur can play a one-for-three battle loss ratio, Malekith believes that he can still win .

After Imrik took the heroic spear, he saw the Cold One knights charging head-on with the dragon prince he led, and the witch spirit troops beside them. The two armies that met first collided violently.

The dragon prince's lance and the cold one's soul eater have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and they both win and lose each other, but this time the outcome has already been decided.

The Cold One knights found that the Soul Eater in their hands couldn't pierce the Dragon Prince's shield and dragon armor at all, which made them feel shocked. The dragon armor can provide high physical defense and fire resistance, but they never seemed to ignore it. The situation of high-speed impact occurs.

Every time a spear stabs out, an enemy will fall. Those witch spirits who cooperated with the Cold One's charge were hit by the horses, and then they became flesh in the trample. Crazy and bloodthirsty can't change their crispy nature. .

After Morterius carried his master on his back and stepped into the battlefield, he raised his horse's hooves high and kicked the stinking head of the Cold One in front of him into pieces. Imrik hung the banner behind him, and the Spear of Valor was burning in his hand, sweeping across Every enemy that tried to block, every swing of the hand took the lives of several Druzzi.

A spearhead was built with the dragon lord as the core. Wherever the iron hoof went, blood turned into a lake, and the infantry in the rear immediately followed up, firmly guarding the gap.

After picking up the heroic spear and stabbing the Cold One nobleman, Imrik asked Mortellius to slow down his charging speed and observed the battle situation.

After he led the Dragon Prince to charge, the two sides had already fought together. The Dragon Prince tore a hole in the enemy's formation, and the others were holding on to this passage. echoes all around.

The Dreadspearman cooperated with a large number of Chaos Marauders in an attempt to break through Caledor's position in the middle, but after the body was pierced and the head was chopped off, it could only become the nutrient of the Finnuvar Plain.

Looking forward, he found that most of the surroundings were such cannon fodder troops. These Cold One knights and witch spirits who were killed immediately seemed to be bait, luring the most elite Dragon Prince into the enemy's siege.

While thinking about it, he casually killed a few fear spearmen who were trying to attack. The arrows of the black sharp crossbowmen in the distance hit the armor with tinkling sounds, and then fell powerlessly to the ground.

Looking up at the Witch King sitting on the Iron Throne on the hill in the distance, Imrik judged the distance between himself and him. If he chooses to forcibly break through the formation, Malekith has a large number of Naggaronds around him. Even if the black guard breaks through the formation of these stepping troops, the troops he leads will fall into the encirclement.

"Turn around, let's go back." Imrik judged that the Witch King planned to use these people as cannon fodder, and after consuming Caledon's physical strength, he would invest in the elite troops, or put the elite troops on the two wings, which would be easier to break through. Weak Itaine and Yris.

Tyrion himself is not worried, and Eltharion also has soldiers from Davian and Tyrannok to help, so there is a high probability that there will be no problem.

After turning the horse's head, he looked up at the magic storm above his head. The Council of Archmages was fighting with the sorceresses of Naggaroth. They could not use magic to support the battlefield in a short time. The predetermined position awaits its own order.

When turning back, the Dragon Prince contacted Attila, "Attila, send your chariot troops to the center line, and Caledon will cooperate with your charge."

"receive."

After returning to the original position, Imrik looked at Masino. He did not ride a giant dragon to fight like other high-ranking dragon princes. Instead, he rode a horse and charged with his comrades.

"You are responsible for assisting Edgar to charge together. I need to sit here." Prince Long resisted the idea of ​​charging with others. As a commander, it is impossible to stay on the front line all the time, even though he may be the strongest in his own camp. strong.

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Edgar, who was the banner officer of the Dragon Prince this time, took everyone to the flanks of the center line. They needed to wait for Tyrann Locke's chariot troops to smash the enemy's line together.

Imrik looked at the Caledon who were fighting with Druzzi and the Chaos barbarians on the front line. Under the cover of his comrades, his sharp spear pierced the enemy's heart, and then they marched together to oppress the enemy's front in a uniform manner.

The armor that has been replaced for a long time makes their strict discipline even more comfortable. Even in the case of mistakes, the steel carefully blessed by the Vaal priests can still guarantee their safety.

The archers in the rear are also always venting their firepower. The silver arrows can often successfully penetrate the weak parts of the enemy's armor, and the most worth mentioning are the mountain patrollers. Holding a big bow as tall as a man, the arrow in his hand is like a small siege crossbow, and the sound of the bowstring rebounding when shooting is thumping.

They don't need to aim at the enemy's weak position at all. Even the thickest breastplate will be pierced by the astonishing power of this special bow, and the target will die on the spot.

Finally, I looked at Malekith again, and found that his dark green eyes seemed to be full of jokes. Even though these Caledonians killed ten or a hundred, there were still tens of thousands of fighters behind. The advantage lies with me, Drucci is just a tool for the Witch King to regain the throne, even if there are many deaths, it is still worthless compared to the Phoenix Throne.

Imrik looked at the Witch King coldly, and he didn't make a move immediately. Both sides were still in the stage of testing each other. Except for the confrontation between the Dragon Prince and the Cold One Knight, most of the elite troops did not show up.

That being the case, then use the fastest way to clean up these miscellaneous soldiers, so that the Witch King can't help but send out the elite troops.

Calculated how long it will take for Etila to arrive at the battlefield. Her troops are far away from here. This is to create a time difference and rapid support between various directions. She picked up the communicator and said, "The Wrath of Vaal, the Holy Flame of Ardaeus number, the coordinates are as follows..., start shooting immediately."

Following Imrik's order and the sound of the horn to gather the troops, the Caledonian began to tighten the front, voluntarily gave up the pace of active attack, and erected a steel wall in the war.

Not far from the coastline, two warships suddenly appeared. They were both cast invisibility spells by Saffrey's mages using a large number of power stones as energy for casting spells. Unless they were very close, it was difficult to find them.

Hundreds of siege arrows from the Dragon Claw Ballista pierced the air and shot at the enemy. Because of the difference between the cliff and the sea level, the flight paths of the arrows are almost parallel. The body, the hit target was strung up like candied haws after the blood seeped out of the body.

And all of a sudden, hundreds of these candied haws skewers appeared on the battlefield.

And this is not over yet, the Ardaeus Holy Flame next to it activated the main cannon on the deck. This giant magic cannon called the Flame Hotbed needs the joint manipulation of the priest of Ardaeus and the Flame Mage to use it. The specific effect of this thing It's a monkey version of the engine of the gods.

The obsidian pillars engraved with a large number of Vulcan inscriptions gradually turn red from the bottom. These substances formed by the cooling of the magma seem to return to their previous forms at this moment. Blurred vision means.

After the energy reached its peak, the soldiers who were waiting to fight Caledonian found that red spots appeared on their bodies, and then a sense of suffocation appeared, and a fiery red energy column connected to the sky was venting its terrifying power to the ground.
