I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 468 Shadow (10)

At this moment, the mercenary group is scattered and ambushing on the other side of the bridge, and they are waiting for their prey to appear.

A Phylician team of about 1,500 people is walking in this direction.

Judging from the intelligence tracked along the western route, this team should be the vanguard of the Phylicians, including four hundred heavy infantry.

However, what surprised West Road was that this vanguard seemed to be running a little too fast. They were almost two days behind the main force.

So the group soon analyzed that that team should belong to Lieutenant General Arubet, who was dismissed as useless by the Phylician prisoners.

You must know that in the hierarchical Phylician Empire, it is absolutely foolish to denounce your superiors as useless.

To be able to say this despite such risks, it seems that the man named Arubet is really not that good.

Not long after, Edward could vaguely see the figures of Phylician soldiers appearing on the other side of the river.

He licked his lips out of habit, and then clenched the sword in his hand again.

But then he suddenly noticed that Ellie beside him seemed to be absent-minded.

"What's wrong Ellie? You look very lethargic." "No, it's nothing.

Maybe I've been a little tired recently." Ellie shook her head vigorously, then replied with a smile on her face.

In fact, in the past few days, Ellie didn't know why. Whenever she fell asleep, she would dream about the altar and the strange white light inside. Every time she wanted to see what was going on, the dream would stop immediately.

So she barely had a good rest in the past few days.

"If this is the case, don't force yourself." Edward felt a little relieved after seeing that Ellie was fine, "The opponent is not very strong this time, so you might as well rest.

With me and Bogosi and the others, we can take care of them no matter what." "No, it's nothing.

I can do it." Ellie shook her head and rejected Edward's proposal.

"Then be careful.

Don't force yourself." Edward naturally knew Ellie's temper and did not persist.

While Edward was speaking, the Phylicians had arrived at the river and began to cross the bridge in an orderly manner.

However, the stone bridge with more than a thousand Pherisian soldiers was too narrow, and the fast river could not even allow light infantry to cross the river, so most of the soldiers had to wait slowly on the other side of the river, and this

Everything was exactly what Bogosi wanted.

When deciding on the plan, they originally planned to directly destroy the bridge so that the Phylicians would have to take a detour to leave the Dragon Soul Mountains.

But later, the reconnaissance on the West Road made him change his attention.

Since the vanguard was out of touch with the main force, Bogosi planned to take a risk and make full use of the strength of a few strong men in the team to attack the Phylicians here.

If this Phylician vanguard force can be successfully annihilated or defeated, it will not only disrupt their plans and distract their attention, but also consume their vitality to gain more opportunities in future decisive battles.

When about one-third of the Phylicians passed the stone bridge and walked to the other side, the man who was ambushing on the west side drew the whistle arrow as an attack signal, and then secretly opened the long bow in his hand.

After the sharp arrow in his hand screamed and shot down a Phylician officer who was maintaining the team, the battle officially began.

After West Road's sharp arrows were shot, the other mercenary archers who had been prepared immediately shot the sharp arrows in their hands towards Felicia's light infantry.

Since the defense of light infantry was far worse than that of heavy infantry, more than thirty Phylician soldiers fell in the first round of arrow rain alone.

After realizing that they were being attacked, the Phylician soldiers on the river bank did not panic at all.

The heavy infantry quickly stood at the forefront and formed a formation, preparing to receive the opponent's next round of arrow rain and possible full force.

The other light infantry dispersed one after another, and with the heavy infantry as the core, they began to attack in the direction from which the arrows flew.

At this time, the second round of arrows was fired again, but since the opponents had dispersed, the effect this time was not good.

Moreover, the Phylician light infantry showed quite good foot strength this time. With only two rounds of arrows, they had already reached less than twenty steps away from the mercenary ambush.

And just when they thought they could use a charge to successfully tear apart the pitifully small number of attackers in front of them, an earth-shattering roar came from the woods on the right.

I saw Grall waving the huge long-handled battle ax in his hand and rushing out like a beast.

Seeing the orc in front of him who was wearing half an iron armor and was over two meters tall, the Phylicians were obviously quite surprised.

The few unlucky ghosts who rushed at the front were chopped into two pieces by Grall's battle ax before they even had time to recover from the shock.

In less than ten seconds, five Phylician soldiers fell under Graal's battle axe. After watching these human soldiers who had killed members of their own tribe fall to the ground in front of them, Graal spoke again.

A roar, coupled with the blood splattered on his body and weapons, made all Phylicians who saw it shudder.

If the Phylicians were more afraid when facing Grall, then the Phylicians on the other side were even more frightened when they saw the golden fighting spirit flashing on the sword in Edward's hand.

.

No matter how strong the armor or how thick the shield is, it is as fragile as paper under Edward's sword.

Almost all the soldiers who fought with him were cut into two pieces with their weapons by Edward's casual blow without any resistance.

Although many Phylician soldiers rushed forward like crazy and clung to their opponents with their own lives, trying to give other companions a chance to defeat him.

But soon those Phylician soldiers discovered that their actions were in vain. Under the indestructible power of Edward's sword, anything within two meters of him would be instantly shattered into pieces.

What frightened them even more was that when they watched Edward kill nearly a hundred of his companions in just a few minutes, there was not even a drop of blood spilled on Edward's body except for the sword in his hand.

However, although the mercenaries have these two nearly invincible strong men, their number is still a little too small.

When Felicia's shooters finally gathered their forces and began to counterattack, the mercenaries' momentum began to be suppressed little by little.

Under the cover of countless sharp arrows, the Phylician infantry had pressed ahead of the mercenary group's shooters.

But just when they thought they could finally defeat the mercenary team in front of them, something completely unexpected happened.

The originally blue sky suddenly turned red as if it was on fire, followed by overwhelming fire meteorites falling from the sky.

In almost a few seconds, more than a hundred meteorites accurately hit the Phylicians' rear formation.

Due to the dense formation of the Phylicians, more than a dozen Phylicians screamed in agony when every meteorite fell.

The Phylician soldiers never dreamed that they would encounter figures like the Sword Master and the Archmage one after another in such a place.

At this moment, the last meteorite mixed with flames fell into the rushing river. Although it did not directly hit anyone, the shock wave generated by the explosion collapsed half of the stone bridge.

At this moment, the Phylician people's psychological defense finally collapsed. They knew that without high-level magicians on their side, it was almost impossible to defeat the mercenary group with sword masters and great magicians based on numbers alone.

.

When the first Phylician soldier could not withstand the huge fear and began to retreat, the entire Phylician battle line collapsed in an instant.

Countless soldiers rushed to the stone bridge in fear, hoping to escape to the other side of the river as soon as possible. However, the narrow bridge deck and the crowded crowd caused more people to fall into the river and be swept away by the rapid river.

And at this moment, the color of the sky changed again.

The sky that was just red a moment ago suddenly turned into dark clouds. Along with a thunderous roar, a blue lightning bolt fell from the center of the bridge.

After the lightning fell, countless golden electric sparks began to jump on different people in the crowd, each time accompanied by a Phylician scream.

Immediately afterwards, Bogosi, who had been ambushing him for a long time on the other side of the river, rushed out from behind the Phylicians with the rest of the mercenaries.

At this moment, the Phylicians were like frightened birds, trying to figure out how many opponents there were.

All they could think of at the moment was escape.

At ten minutes past noon, this battle, which was originally disproportionate in terms of strength, finally ended. The Phylician vanguard had nearly a thousand people killed in the battle alone, and the remaining more than a hundred people all fled back to the mountains in embarrassment.

Bogosi's mercenary team also paid the price of two hundred casualties. Seeing that the almost gambling battle finally came to a successful conclusion, Bogosi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the Freedom Alliance is still at a disadvantage in the battle at the Dragon Soul Mountain Range, they have begun to regain this disadvantage bit by bit, and the battle here will truly begin.

"The meteorite technique, and the top-notch wind magic, Crazy Thunder Heavenly Prison.

We seem to have encountered a big trouble." In the Felicia camp, Kalubas frowned and said to himself after listening to the report of the few soldiers who had just escaped death.

"Huh, no matter what the reason is, running away is the greatest shame for a soldier.

Those people actually dared to come back so shamelessly." At this time, Arubet who was standing aside was obviously very excited.

After all, the soldiers who fled back were all directly affiliated with his regiment. Seeing his soldiers flee back in such a dejected state without even knowing how many people there were on the other side, such a shameful thing made him really angry.

"Come here!" Arubet shouted outside the camp in a rage, "Send my order and give those who escaped to death immediately to death on the spot.

Let others know that cowards are not allowed in the Phylician army!" "Forget it, don't do this." At this time, Karubas on the side immediately stopped him, although he was very happy to see Arrubet unlucky.

It looked like this, but he would never allow five hundred soldiers to be buried with him just because of this.

"Lord Karubas, I am dealing with my own soldiers. I think it is not your turn to take care of it at this time." Perhaps it was because Karubas stopped his order or for other reasons, Aru

Bet's face became extremely ugly at this time, "Those soldiers gave up their glory, so now is the time when they must pay the price.

I will never allow anyone to insult the glory of the imperial army!" "I think what you do is the biggest insult to the glory of the imperial army!" Karubas cursed secretly in his heart, but he still looked very calm on the surface and said,

"The opponent's team has swordsman-level warriors and orcs to help. In addition, the magic they mentioned, if what they said is true, it is likely to be a high-level magician or even a great magician.

's masterpiece.

If this is the case, it would not be a shame for your vanguard to be completely defeated.

Not many armies can resist the joint attack of the Sword Master and the Archmage, not to mention they have helpers." "But those people..." Arrubet was furious and planned to say something else, but his words were quickly interrupted.

Karubas interrupted.

"Running away is not a sign of cowardice.

When you are sure that things are irreversible, preserving your strength is the most important thing.

And without the news they bring, we are likely to encounter greater losses in the future.

So they are not wrong.

For this reason, I hope you can let them go and let them serve their crimes." Arubet stared at Karubas for a long time with a red face. After the corners of his mouth twitched more than ten times, he finally remained in Karubas.

He was defeated by the invisible pressure brought by Si, and said in an angry but helpless tone: "Since the general said so, naturally I can't do it anymore."

Then Arrubet turned his head and shouted at the soldiers who were already pale with fright: "You guys heard it clearly, this time I will let you go for the sake of General Karubas.

You'd better not let me see it.

Get out of here now!" Intimidated by Arubet's hysterical roar, several soldiers almost fled out of the camp as fast as they could.

However, Arrubet still didn't look very satisfied. He sat down heavily on the chair, his nose making dull breathing sounds like a cow.

"Lord Arrubet, our situation is not good now." Karubas didn't care about Arrubet's face and still spoke his analysis unhurriedly, "Although we are still unable to judge who is intercepting us.

How many people are there in the mercenary group? But according to the current intelligence analysis, they are probably the team that caused the First Army so much trouble in the Central Mountains, that is, the resistance army that disappeared from the mercenary kingdom.

In addition, the road to the Masa River is no longer possible, and we cannot leave Dragon Soul Mountain in a short time. In my opinion, our plan has been completely ruined.

Retreating now may be the best result." "No, I will never allow this plan to end like this because of some inexplicable judgment.
