League of Legends Millennium Warlord
Chapter 610 Chapter608 Thane Army VS Demacia Kingdom Army
The military force like a silver tide slowly approached the mountains. The clash of armor and weapons scared away the birds on the treetops. Even the moonlight in the sky could not capture half of the attention of the chilling silver ocean on the ground.
A dragon bird knight hovering in the sky leaped over the army and went straight into the center of the army.
"Your Majesty, the Thane Legion is on that hillside."
The Dragon Bird Knight, who returned to the Grand Legion to report the news, landed directly next to Jarvan I's horse, pointing to the Silver Mountains not far away.
"These Noxian bastards are still talking nonsense and offending His Majesty. It is really a crime that cannot be punished!"
Sitting on the back of a pure-blooded Demacian warhorse, the 1.81 meter Jarvan I wore Demacian mithril armor, a crown on his head, and his eyes were as cold as the moon.
The guards and attendants behind him carried Langton's Omen and Attama's Halberd for Jarvan I, always ready to defend Demacia's supreme emperor with their lives.
"Oh? What nonsense did those Noxians say? But there's no harm in saying it."
After receiving His Majesty the Emperor's approval, the Dragon Bird Knight knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice.
"They said they wanted to...cut off His Majesty's head..."
“Bold!!!”
The guard attendant shouted loudly and pulled out the mithril sword, but when Jarvan I waved his hand and glared at the dragon and bird knight who spoke freely, he had no choice but to give up.
Looking around at his invincible army, Jarvan I smiled lightly.
"I have soldiers who are good at fighting, and generals who serve the country loyally. My ancestor, King Dulles, was once invincible on the battlefield. Now that Demacia has strong soldiers and horses, why should we fear the enemy's provocation?
You go tell him that my Dulles head is right here, waiting for him to get it. "
"yes!"
…
Half a day's journey south from the Demacians,
The horse trotted forward. The commander of the Noxus Empire's First and Third Legions, Leed Sarapam, took advantage of his rare free time to look up at the sky.
The bright moon in the sky seems to have never changed. Just like the night when he and Malz entered the ancient capital of Lienland, the bright moon illuminated the dark land. The two of them brought expectations for the future and honor. Desire, began a war journey like a meat grinder.
At this moment, it seems that the moon looks like the mithril armor of the Demacians. It is gorgeous and noble, but also awe-inspiring, no less powerful than the killing soldiers born in the black iron furnace of Noxus.
Through countless brutal collisions, Demacia has proven with its strength that it is an enemy that Noxus must fight tooth and nail for. To prove this, Commanders Maltz and Burnham have paid the price with their lives.
Maybe today, maybe tomorrow, I will become a cold corpse on the battlefield, buried in blood in this beautiful and rich land, but this is not a romance that belongs only to soldiers.
After fighting for such a long time, Led himself wanted to take a rest, but unfortunately, he knew that he had no chance to rest.
In order to save their own reinforcements, the Thain Army became the most hated target of the Demacians. For this reason, the Demacian Kingdom Army turned north.
After learning the whereabouts of the Demacians, Leed only thought for a minute before he understood the Demacians' action plan and issued the order to follow up.
He would never allow himself to escape this battle and become a coward to Noxus.
Betting on the honor of the Sarapam family, the faith of the Roxy clan, and your own life,
Tonight, I will definitely fight to the death with Jiawen I in the Sparkling Silver Mountains.
"Send the order! Speed up the march! We must not let our compatriots fight alone!"
"yes!"
…
Thane didn't care about Emperor Jarvan's response. At this point, except for a real fight, any trash talk was meaningless.
The meaning of this war is not complicated;
He wanted to kill Emperor Jarvan before he died, and Emperor Jarvan wanted to kill him to avenge the Demacians. Only one of them could survive, that's all.
Observing the military situation at the foot of the mountain, Thane quickly found the Demacian Emperor's military banner.
The three-meter-high indigo flag was as conspicuous as a target. Under the banner, a man in luxurious silver armor rode a tall horse and advanced with great momentum, being guarded by close guards.
There was no need to guess, that conspicuous man must be the Emperor of Demacia, Dulles Jarvan.
The line of sight began to shift. A long snake formation composed of Demacians was pressing down from the end of the horizon like a tide. There were at least 30,000 people in total.
With the archers in front and the spear and shield soldiers behind, the Mithril heavy armored infantry of the Fearless Vanguard were divided into two square formations, one on the left and the other on the right, blocking the attack route closest to Jarvan.
The silver-armored heavy infantry held a big sword, and their steps were like frost and iron hitting the ice, with awe-inspiring momentum.
In large-scale wars, even the soldiers of the Dauntless Vanguard cannot maintain the shield formation method used in training and can only be used as elite infantry.
There are thousands of light cavalry and about two hundred dragon and bird riders on both sides of the military formation to support them, and they can launch a devastating charge at any time.
The mithril armor-piercing arrows that are ready to go are ready, waiting to tear apart the front line they have laid out.
Looking back at the demoralized Thain Army, Thain gave a rare smile, and then sighed.
In addition to more than 10,000 royal troops and nearly 1,000 fearless vanguards, the Demacian military formations are all newly recruited soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that the Demacians had more than 20,000 new recruits who had never seen much blood, there would be no need to fight this battle at all. If less than 9,000 people faced more than 40,000 people, they would definitely lose.
Our only advantage lies in the terrain. There are cliffs on three sides of the mountainside, and only one side is a steep slope. After being repaired by the accompanying mage using earth element magic, only two gaps were left, one bright and one dark, open and closed. ,
Only about a thousand people could stand in the open space, so the Demacians' numerical advantage could not be fully utilized.
As long as your bones are strong enough, you can still fight this battle.
Withdrawing his gaze, Yeager noticed the complicated expression of his best friend and couldn't help but ask.
"Sean, what are you laughing at? What are you sighing about?"
Looking back, Thane stared into Yeager's eyes with a soft expression.
"I laugh that after this battle, the Demacians will definitely mourn. If I can take the head of Jarvan's son, my life will be worth it.
What I lament is that I have not been able to truly train an elite soldier who can survive a hundred battles and regard death as home. Noxus is so big, but it is difficult to find a few elite soldiers and generals.
As a general, I am too unqualified. It is a pity that you and I have never had the opportunity to further our studies. Otherwise, maybe we can really command an iron army with one against a hundred. "
After hearing what Thain said, the morale of the soldiers in Thain's legion dropped again, and many soldiers showed dissatisfaction.
Knowing that Thane never cared about the soldiers' emotions, Yeager quickly smoothed things over without changing his expression.
He has learned the essence of how to prevent Thane's troops from mutiny.
"You are wrong. Our Thane Legion is the only iron army in the empire that has been victorious in all battles. We are the only ones with combat effectiveness in the entire Noxus. Otherwise, why did the Demacians give up the two major forces of Leed? Legion, mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress us?
Doesn't this mean that the Thane Legion is Demacia's thorn in the side? We should be proud of ourselves for making Demacians fearful. "
This time Thain did not refute Yeager's words. He knew that Yeager was trying to stabilize the morale of the army. Although he did not know much about how to run an army or train an army, he also understood that this was not the time to say depressing words.
"That's right. Although it is not as good as the warrior I thought in my heart, it can still be called a brave army. I can see the long-lost military soul of Roxy in the soldiers. I, Thain, can be regarded as dead. Sorry."
Thain's words shocked the soldiers of Thain's Legion. Since they joined the army, they had hardly heard any praise from the general. They just fought with their heads covered, one after another. Naturally, many soldiers could not stand the high pressure. Veterans who made enough money Just choose to leave the legion.
It's just that Thain never withholds military merit, and always rewards meritorious deeds and kills any mistakes. This fact makes many new soldiers willing to stay and fight in Thain's army.
If you work hard a few times, you can get fertile land and rewards without worries for the rest of your life. It is better to endure the high cost of death and stay in the legion, and just wait until you have enough wife money before leaving. Anyway, Thane will not stop the soldiers who choose to leave.
Compared with other legions, the Thain Legion seems to have no shortcomings except for its high mortality rate.
"Everyone, today we have no retreat, we can only fight to the death. You and I slaughtered several Demacian villages. The Demacians will never leave any prisoners in this battle.
Instead of being a coward waiting to be killed, it would be better to take up arms and let the blood of Demacians stain this land red. "
Yeager struck while the iron was hot and boosted the morale of the Thane Legion. Although most people still had fear and death intentions, they were much stronger than the state they were in just now.
The captain finally regained his courage to fight and asked.
"General, how should we fight this battle?"
Putting the black cutter on his shoulders, Thain said solemnly.
"Stay here and wait until we annihilate those enemies in silver armor, then I will lead you out through another closed gap and go straight to Jarvan's son.
If we can capture Jarvan I, we will definitely survive. If not, then kill Jarvan I. Our death will not be in vain. "
"Okay! We are willing to follow the general!"
"Isn't it just death? What's so scary! I also did it with the general! Kill those Demacia bastards!"
…
At dawn, the moon sets in the west, and the sun rises from the Silver Mountains in the east, casting the first ray of golden light.
The field of vision became wider, and Demacia's military formation sounded the horn of attack. Tens of thousands of troops marched at the same time, heading towards the position of the Thane Army.
"Want to shrink down? Order, the long-range infantry rains down arrows on the enemy! The fifth and sixth phalanxes press in quickly, and the other phalanxes advance slowly."
"yes!"
After receiving the order from Jarvan I, the messenger quickly conveyed the battle order to the Demacia general.
"Woooooo~~~"
The horn made a desolate and rough sound. About five thousand long-range archers faced the rain of arrows flying from the mountainside and kept getting closer until they were almost within the shooting range of the horn bow.
"Open the bow!!!"
The Demacian archer, who had already been holding back his anger, bent his bow and nocked an arrow. The bow was like a full moon.
"put!"
With an order, the extremely tight bow string was loosened, and five thousand arrows were scattered to the mountainside like a moving black rain curtain. Due to the terrain, only the front thousand arrows successfully flew up the mountainside.
The soldiers of the Thane Legion who had already formed a shield wall hid behind the black iron square shield in the shape of scales, and did not waver despite the arrows hitting the shield.
A wave of arrows rained down, and only a few dozen unlucky ones were stabbed in the limbs by arrows drilled into the gaps in the shield wall, but no one was injured or killed.
"Fire the arrow!"
After a wave of arrows, the crossbowmen of the Thane Legion poked their heads out of the shield wall and cocked their crossbows at the Demacia archers condescendingly.
Less than two thousand crossbowmen fired crossbow bolts, causing huge damage to the Demacian archers who bore the brunt. Because the positions were too dense, a wave of arrows rained down, and the Demacian people suffered nearly five hundred casualties.
Noxus is not excellent in terms of people's livelihood, but it is unambiguous in terms of weapon forging.
Adhering to the unique heavy style of Noxus, the extremely durable Noxian crossbow incorporates the ancient mechanical technology of the Emerald Territory and is much more powerful than ordinary military crossbows.
Not only does it have a longer range and greater power, the most important thing is that with the help of pulleys and draw rods, crossbowmen can string the crossbow faster.
While the two sides were raining arrows on each other, the fifth and sixth phalanxes located behind the archers and facing the mountain road, a total of 6,000 people, passed the archers in front of them and approached a thousand meters away.
“Rush!!!!”
With their long swords unsheathed, the Demacian soldiers rushed towards the hillside regardless of their safety.
"General Yeager! Do you want to change the shooting target?"
The legion commander in charge of commanding the crossbowmen asked.
"No, keep killing those archers."
Yeager ordered calmly.
"Occupying a favorable terrain, we are not afraid of engaging the enemy. The only thing we need to worry about is the Demacian archers. Kill them as much as possible before the crossbows run out."
"yes!"
The arrows of the imperial crossbowmen passed over the charging Demacian soldiers and continued to fly towards the approaching Demacian archers. Because the compatriots also entered the range of the bows and arrows, in order to avoid accidental damage, the Demacian archers had to stop shooting,
As a result, Demacia's archers paid a heavy price.
Unable to fire arrows at the backs of their compatriots, the archers could only accept the order to retreat and exit the attack range of the imperial crossbowmen.
Jarvan I sighed as he observed the military situation two thousand meters away with the [Golden Monocular Telescope] produced by the Jade Collar with serious eyes.
"Those Noxian barbarians are extremely militaristic and warlike. There is nothing to say, but the weapons they created are so sophisticated. We will also focus on studying the craftsmanship of crossbows when we go back this time. The training process of archers is too complicated. On the contrary, It’s not as convenient as a crossbow.”
"Your Majesty said so."
"Stop shooting!"
The Imperial crossbowmen took two steps back to clear the way for the legionnaires led by Thane.
Wearing a heavy helmet with horns and a suit of magic steel armor, Thane carried the black cutter and stepped forward with iron boots in front of everyone, like the devil of hell.
"We will stay here, Demacians, and we will kill as many as we come!"
