Chapter 631 The Resolute Ghosts

Only the same writing system appeared in Faerun (this was a need of magic), but there was no same track for vehicles, let alone standard parts. Not to mention that the same type of carriages produced by different countries and different workshops, even if produced by the same craftsman, the size may be quite different.

Therefore, there are many kinds of trucks running on the Faerun trade route. From time to time, you can see a truck graveyard beside the trade route, where some trucks that look quite new are thrown there, just because a wheel is completely broken. It is probably because the wheel size is too special. It is impossible to find a replacement for a while, and it is impossible to spend time to find someone to customize it, so it can only be abandoned with pain.

Such things, Gavin will not allow to appear in the goods produced in his territory, especially war supplies, which have more stringent requirements, all with the most standard size and the most stringent quality control. Not to mention that all parts of the same type of vehicle can be used universally, even many parts of the sidecar and the building chariot are universal. At a critical moment, a severely damaged one can be dismantled to repair other less damaged ones.

When these scattered monsters rushed over, they naturally faced the side with the carriage.

Therefore, they only saw a few sparse side carriages, and neither the soldiers gathered on the other side of the side carriages nor the heavy crossbow carriages behind the carriages.

When they heard the bowstrings of the crossbow carriages trembling, everything was too late.

The heavy crossbow carriages on more than 190 side carriages were used at the same time, directly plowing bloody passages on their charging team.

Against ordinary monsters, it is absolutely a terrifying killer, directly destroying most of their remaining fighting spirit.

Then came thousands of arrows, leaving some monster soldiers on the way to attack.

The essence of the side carriage tactics is to use carriages or assembly car walls to block the enemy, use long-range weapons to consume the enemy's living strength as much as possible, and eliminate them on the way to charge if they can. Even if they are not eliminated on the way to charge, they will try to eliminate them outside the carriages. Close combat is the last choice. When you can fight more people against fewer people, you will never engage in stupid one-on-one duels.

It is this core strategy that makes them, as the vanguard, have a low casualty rate, but the consumption of long-range weapons is not low. A casual battle can consume hundreds of thousands of arrows.

But they have a good commander who knows how to make money, so they never need to worry about this. The sidecars are always full of arrows, javelins and other long-range weapons.

Even the pioneer vanguards who had fought a fierce battle at Xiqiaokou before consumed only one-third of the arrows they carried with them. In the short term, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient firepower.

When the overwhelming fireballs covered the front of the sidecar formation like a carpet.

The monster soldiers behind them realized in despair that the opponent's attack was the best defense. With their morale collapsed, they were not even qualified to rush to the front of the opponent's car wall.

Even the fish that survived the triple long-range attack and rushed into the gaps between the sidecars faced a death trap. Dozens of spears were poked out at the same time, directly poking them into sieves and throwing them out.

They were running for their lives, not going to die.

Compared to this death channel, they thought it was the wisest choice to retreat with the main force.

And this is exactly what the Conqueror Army wanted them to think. As long as they no longer charged at the side car line, even if they entered the attack range of the heavy crossbow carts, they would not easily launch an attack.

Until they wanted to adjust the opponent's direction of advance, they drove them away by attacking, just like driving a flock of sheep.

The formation of the tactic of rolling up the bead curtain, in addition to a certain amount of luck, also has very high requirements for coordinated combat capabilities. The stronger the army is, the greater the possibility of using this tactic, especially in such a large scale.

The Conqueror Army happened to meet the standards in all aspects.

With the precise coordination of various legions, the remaining remnants of the monster army were driven by them, fleeing along the border river towards the distant sea swamp, and the speed was getting faster and faster, especially after passing those blood plunderer supervisors.

All the monster soldiers were running as fast as they could, trying to get as far away from this Shura field as possible.

This was the first time they had seen such a heavy casualty war. Under normal circumstances, if they had sent in tens of thousands of troops but failed to break through the enemy's defenses, they would basically have to retreat, flee, and go back to their homes.

After all, they were a coalition army organized under the leadership of the Dark Castle for the purpose of plundering. If it was profitable, their desire to fight would definitely be top-notch, but once they encountered a tough challenge, they would easily wither.

However, the appearance of the plunderer Garagos forced them into a war of gods with the Lady of Strategy, which was equivalent to fighting another battle. Although the casualties were similar to the first wave, they were all the best among them. Many tribal chiefs, shamans, chiefs, and warriors were transformed into blood plunderers or blood berserkers, either consumed or became enemies. Many monsters did not die at the hands of the conqueror army, but at their hands.

Adding the two together, at least half of the monster army stayed forever at the west entrance of the Bridge of Gods and Humans, and the casualties were still increasing, because the army of the Conqueror Army followed them and advanced with them, especially the heavy cavalry, who seemed to know no fatigue, rumbling behind them, and the continuous sound of horse hooves was like a death warrant, urging them to rush forward. As for those who fell behind, even if they were not killed on the spot, they would be trampled into meat paste by horse hooves.

The most difficult tactic of rolling up the bead curtain was the initial stage.

When the fleeing soldiers were driven to run wildly, it became much simpler. They had completely lost the courage to resist, and no one could think calmly. They just had to blindly follow the monsters in front of them, running, running, and running again.

When the fleeing monster army caught up with the Abyss Jackals and the Amphibious Army in the Far Sea Swamp, they were more than 20 kilometers away from the Bridge of Gods and Humans.

After the three witches reached a consensus and conspired, they fully realized that the conqueror army was far beyond their ability to fight. If the other side became stronger, even the Far Sea Swamp would not be able to protect their safety. After all, the Lizard Queen of Thun Swamp and her Lizardmen Army had already surrendered to them.

Withdraw their army safely to the Far Sea Swamp and take out the treasures hidden in it as soon as possible. At that time, whether they stay or move to other places, they have enough cards.

It’s just that the road to retreat is far more difficult than they imagined. Although amphibians are known to be able to swim on land and water, their two abilities are usually mediocre. In terms of swimming ability, they are not as good as pure aquatic creatures, and in terms of walking ability on land, they are not as good as pure terrestrial creatures.

And the environment in which they live is destined that their ability in water is far greater than on land, and the latter is mostly prepared for short distances.

Long-distance marching is a disaster for both frogmen and aquatic trolls. Before they walked three kilometers, their flippers were pierced with holes, and every step would leave a blood mark on the ground. Even aquatic trolls, although they have the same regeneration ability as trolls, their regeneration is related to water. There, their regeneration ability is far greater than that of ordinary trolls, but on land, it will be greatly reduced.

And what limits the speed of an army is not the fastest part of them, but the slowest part.

Therefore, the speed of the retreat of the Far Sea Swamp Army is very touching, and it is full of curses, complaints and painful wails.

The three ghosts not only did not care, but were overjoyed, especially the green ghost, who was full of energy. Even the pain of losing her beloved treasure, the advanced invisibility ring, dissipated a lot. She kept sighing, why didn't they find this interesting sadistic trick before? This is simply the most beautiful music in the world.

So, they didn't think of a way to solve this shortcoming at all.

Anyway, with the Abyss Jackal Army there, those lizardmen dared not rashly chase to the shore. The Dark Castle's monster army and the Conqueror Army were fighting to the death there. Even if the winner was decided, they had no energy to care about them. They could just retreat slowly.

After the Rangers' spies they sent out were cut off one after another by the Conqueror Army, they simply stopped sending spies.

By the time they realized that something was wrong, the monster army was less than five kilometers away from them.

"How could this happen? How could it become like this? Those rubbish, if they were defeated, they were defeated. Why did they run in our direction? They will kill us by doing this."

"Did the bastards in the Dark Castle do it on purpose? They failed, so they can't see that we are good? Are they going to drag us down with them? But what good will it do for them? The Conqueror Army is here, and they have nothing to do with it at all."

This is the inherent thinking mode of the witches. Once a situation that is unfavorable to them occurs, they will immediately suspect whether this is a conspiracy played by the enemy.

"It's not the Dark Castle, it's the Conqueror Army. Their army is following behind, consciously driving these monsters to attack us. Their methods are more sophisticated than we expected, and their appetite is much bigger than we thought. They don't want to eat one or two enemies, they want to eat all three. Damn it, this time we are going to fall because of our greed."

"Now is not the time to consider the reasons, but how should we respond? We can't just watch the defeated army crash into our army, right? These bastards have been scared and have no reason at all. After the collision, there will definitely be a chaos. After the chaos, how much of our army will be left is an unknown."

" Get out of the way. We will take the initiative to get out of the way. "

"It's useless. Compared with their speed of retreat, our marching speed is too slow. We can't avoid them at all."

"The slow ones are the swamp soldiers. Can we let them go back to the river to hide? Those jackals can let go of their speed."

"The Conqueror Army has already considered this move. The Lizardmen Army has been following us, waiting for our swamp soldiers to go into the water.

As for those jackals, they are the abyss jackals who have been infused with the venom of the madman Yenogu. They are full of evil and greed in their bones. Even magic can't completely restrain their spying on our swamp soldiers. Do you think they can still control it once the war starts?"

"This is obviously the biggest advantage of this army. How come it has become a disadvantage now?"

"This won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do? Watch our army being scattered? Destroyed? Without the protection of the army, maybe the Lizard Queen will lead the Lizardmen army directly into the open sea. The swamp will eat up our nest in one fell swoop, and our treasure will become someone else’s.”

"Compared to the treasures in the swamps of the distant sea, this army is not important. As long as we get the treasures, we can form as many such armies as we want. We can abandon those miscellaneous soldiers and mobilize all the powerful combat power among them. , prepare the teleportation circle, teleport them back to the Distant Sea Swamp, and then activate the nightmare realm to completely block the Distant Sea Swamp. No matter who comes, they will not be able to get in or out. We will wait until we get the treasure. "

"This is the only way. As long as we ensure that the extraordinary part is not lost, we can use them to gather more cannon fodder and form a new army."

"I also agree with this method. The army can do without it, but the Far Sea Swamp must not be thrown away, at least not until we get the treasure in the nightmare realm."

It is definitely not a fluke that this gathering of hags has reached the legendary level. Not only do they possess the common deviousness and cunningness of hags, but they also have a decisiveness that most hags do not have.

Previously on the Border River, it was decided to avoid the sharp edge of the lizardman army and let the amphibious army go ashore.

Now they realized that they had no way to avoid the monster's defeat, so they immediately made a decisive and ruthless move to abandon their vehicles to save their commander.

Not only is he quick to make decisions, he is also top-notch in execution ability. Before the monsters completely collided with the army, he mobilized the backbone of his army and used the nine-ring teleportation circle to teleport them back in batches. He walked into the swamp of the distant sea, then left the remaining part behind and ran away without caring about it.

In doing so, they preserved their extraordinary power, but it brought devastating consequences to the remaining armies.

Without the command of those backbone forces, no matter how large the remaining army is, it will still be a piece of scattered sand. They will be defeated by the surging monsters. They will each make different responses based on their own habits.

Those Abyss Gnolls not only did not feel afraid of the overwhelming monster soldiers, nor did they even avoid them. Instead, they howled and charged towards them with greed on their faces.

Jackals are already known for their evil and greed. The Abyss Jackals who have been infused with the power of the abyss are an example of them. They have become infinitely close to their fellow demons in the bottomless abyss. They fight for war, plunder, and Born to kill.

When the three hags were here, they could still suppress and control them through the power of magic, but now they can use it freely.

Those monsters who retreat are fighting for survival. Anyone who blocks their way is their enemy and should be destroyed. They will not hesitate to raise their weapons and send them death and destruction. They continued to flee with their bodies.

Compared to the abyss gnolls, both the frogmen and the aquatic trolls had much less desire to fight. The reason why they came ashore was entirely driven by the three hags, and they had to obey their orders.

Now that the three hags and their most ferocious minions were gone, they immediately ran to the Bianhuang River. That was their world, even though there was an army of lizardmen waiting for them in the Bianhuang River. They couldn't care less.

In the water, they had some hope of escaping, but on land, they were absolutely dead.

Fighting broke out both on the shore and in the wild river.

Regarding the battle on the shore, the army of conquerors did not just stand aside and watch the excitement. Instead, they extended a warm helping hand from time to time and were baptized by waves of arrows and fireballs. As for which side was defeated Helpers are not necessarily.

It all depends on who has the disadvantage, and they have an obligation to help the weak against the strong.

As a result, the war dragged on for a long time and many people died.

The ones who had the advantage most of the time were not the monsters with numerical superiority, but the nearly 10,000 abyss jackals.

First, their overall level is good. After all, they are infused with the power of the abyss. Their combat effectiveness is far higher than that of ordinary jackals.

Second, they are ferocious enough and bellicose enough. In chaotic battles, it is common for them to hold their enemies and start to eat them on the spot.

The reason why a defeated army is called a defeated army is because their will to fight has been defeated. Faced with this situation, all those who can go around will go around, and only those who can't go around will launch an attack.

At the end of the fight, some Abyss Gnolls appeared like combs, penetrated the entire monster, and appeared in front of the cavalry of the Conqueror's army.

The two vanguard vanguards had already stopped driving. In the roadless wilderness, the speed of their vans was a big problem. They were thrown away within five kilometers, and the monster army's rout had already taken shape. They are needed.

Following the defeated monster army, only the Nott Guards heavy cavalry and the hobgoblin wolf cavalry remained.

The former acts as a shepherd to drive from behind, while the latter acts as a hound to coordinate and adjust the direction of the monster's rout. The two complement each other and cooperate well.

Those Abyss Jackals who broke through the monster's rout, no matter how much their numbers were a fraction of the opponent's, howled and charged at Nott's Guards Heavy Cavalry. As a result, they hit the iron plate with their heads.
