A strange world

Chapter 798 Section 29. Support Black Watch

The total number of coalition forces on the Northern Great Wall is 50,000, and nearly 30,000 are gathered around Annan at this moment.

Among these coalition forces, the masters alone can form a team of fifty, and the number of elites far exceeds that of Black Watch——

But it’s like the thin man who is desperate for his life and the fat man who is greedy for life and afraid of death. They will complain when their staff is reduced by 10%, internal strife will occur when their staff is reduced by 20%, and they will start to flee when their staff is reduced by 30%.

Unless Annan leads them to victory after victory and establishes prestige.

Annan continued his previous plan and divided the coalition forces into three parts: close combat, long-range, and support.

He recalled the white dragon who was out and organized himself, the leaders of other forces, the mage group and the air units into the support group. The remaining nine forces have not been found yet. They were either wiped out or hidden. There is no need to look for them anymore.

Thirteen white dragons are barely enough for the leaders to ride.

Annan first said to the melee group, which numbered more than 20,000 people standing in the open space: "I agree that on the battlefield, you put your own safety first. After all, even if the battle loss ratio with the ratmen is 1:10, we will suffer a loss. But unless we are injured , I don’t want you to disobey orders in any way. I won’t send you to your death, there are thousands of rangers and mages standing behind you!”

When it was the remote group's turn, Annan said to them:

"Your task is to reduce the pressure on the front line. When the rat tide is intensive, each front-line soldier will face more than five rat men at the same time. I need you to weaken them to three or even less."

When they arrived at the support team, Annan asked them to change the venue, weaken the ratmen, and strengthen their own side.

The spoils of war, rat ears, will be equally distributed among the twenty coalition forces, including Annan.

It's late at night and it's raining heavily outside. After Annan confirmed through the artist that Black Watch was not damaged, he asked the coalition forces to repair it overnight and set off this morning.

The storm is still going on, and there is no need to worry about the plague caused by the rat corpses around the camp for the time being.

In the morning, the storm that had lasted all day finally subsided.

Annan asked the coalition forces to stand by. He took the thirteen vampire white dragons into the sky and rushed to the battlefield.

On the way, Annan saw that the lake from the previous few days had expanded three or four times. If they had chosen to resist the rat tide by the lake, they would have already soaked in the lake water.

Ten minutes later, they began to approach the main force of the Skaven.

No matter how clear the magic images and the sketchman's descriptions are, it's still not as shocking as seeing the battlefield with your own eyes.

Annan saw the black waves pushing against the standing rocks, and the rat carcasses piled up around the rocks to form a hill. The radiance of magic flashed, blasting holes after holes in the rat tide.

Black Watch is still persisting, and the speed of killing ratmen has not slowed down much.

"It's our turn."

Annan took a deep breath, let the white dragon land outside the rat tide, and opened five portals in succession.

The long-prepared coalition forces stepped out of the portal and faced the sparse rat group in front, which contained only slave rats.

The surging black wave began to notice the new enemies on the periphery, and separated several waves to hit them.

From slave rats to a mixed rat tide, the pressure on the coalition frontline suddenly increased. But Annan had already arranged everything - when someone was injured, the mage group would use the light feather technique to evacuate the injured to the back row.

No nobleman did this and asked the mages to protect the warriors - but this had an unexpected effect. The warriors no longer had any worries. Coupled with the mages' group's buffing spells, they burst out with far more fanaticism than usual.

"Projection!"

About six thousand archers raised their bows and fired, forcibly creating buffer zones one after another.

Their range is far greater than that of magic muskets, but correspondingly, they are much less effective against leather and heavily armored enemies.

The subsequent mixed rat tide just made most of the arrows go to waste.

The Hellfire Legion is useless at this time. You can't use magic guns, and magic guns can easily hurt your own people. Annan simply assigned them to both sides and asked them to weaken the rat tide from the outside.

Although the black waves surrounding Black Watch have not weakened...but it should bring some psychological comfort to Black Watch who sees it?

While the main force of the rat men was still sluggish due to their size, the movement in the periphery attracted the attention of Black Watch.

A portal opened in front of the coalition leaders, and the Archmage wearing the badge of the Black Watch Legion stepped out of the portal.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh... execute the hunting plan." The military minister of the Windmill Principality said quickly.

Black Watch knows the empire's purpose of deceiving the coalition forces to come out of the northern city wall. They can't say "you are not needed here."

The Archmage looked at the instigator who landed in front of him, Annan.

"Annan, are they integrated?"

Annan knew him. It was this archmage who came into contact with him when he inspected the Great Wall of the North. He pointedly said: "Mr. Albek, 'cost' may not be the only way to grow."

The Archmage couldn't help but look at Annan squarely and no longer regarded him as a junior who needed to be taken care of.

"Good job." The Archmage looked calm and nodded: "We can still hold on for three days, so don't rush for quick success."

Annan didn't react at all, but the leaders were a little excited - although the treatment they received after being recruited to the empire was not bad, they didn't look good either. There was never a time when they were so amiable.

They looked at each other and realized that the coalition commander had indeed chosen the right person...

Black Watch agreed to help the coalition forces, but the price was that when Annan returned to the air and overlooked the entire battlefield, the edge of the black wave was continuously peeled off, and the reorganized elite rats and reckless rats rushed here.

The armor-clad elite rats and the little giant-like wild rats were suffocating. The fluorescent green evil energy pierced the rain curtain and fell on the warriors.

The mage group no longer saves magic power, and buff spells to expel curses, restore physical energy, and enhance strength are sprinkled on the front line one by one. At this time, the best offensive spell is the most basic greasy spell.

Combat skills that consume physical energy are of no use on the battlefield. Even the master is simply slashing with a big sword full of gaps.

Annan's shouts echoed above their heads with the sound amplification: "Behind us is the Great Wall of the North!"

"Keep the Skaven out of Middle-earth, leaving no one behind!"

The coalition forces were in high spirits and actually withstood the impact of the rat tide.

But they are not Black Watch. For a few hours or even dozens of minutes at most, the coalition forces will not be able to maintain the front line.

Fortunately, their task is only to weaken the number of rat tides.

Annan signaled the soldiers to retreat while fighting, widening the distance from the main force of the rat men, and then let the hellfire push out the orichalcum cannon.

"Use mushroom bombs."

After Fermi went to make arrangements, Blom suggested: "Annan, the advantage is ours, there is no need to waste it..."

"That's why we use mushroom bombs."

Annan vaguely glanced at the surrounding leaders.

"If we don't let them see the power of orichalcum artillery, how can we make them willingly wave their money bags and beg us to sell it to them?"
