Summoning Total War

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A rush of war drums suddenly came from behind the defeated lizard men, and several strong male lizard men warriors with thick limbs came out carrying a huge war drum with a diameter of more than two meters. On the war drum is an old lizard man wearing brightly colored feathers. He holds a dead wood scepter in his hand, and the top is inlaid with the skull of a large humanoid creature in some way.

The skull looks a bit like an ogre, with a single horn on its forehead.

The fur used in the war drum seemed to come from cows, because Murphy saw dark brown hair on the edges, and a series of skulls hanging around the drum. They did not look like human ones, but seemed to be half-elf skulls.

Weird! cruel!

"It's a shaman!" Murphy said slowly, his face darkening.

As the lizardman shaman appeared on the battlefield, the warriors who had been demoralized to the point of collapse actually reorganized the battle line, and those soldiers who had fled before took up weapons again and gathered together. The old lizard man shaman hammered the war drum with his skeletal arms, and the low and hoarse war song sounded with a rhythm that Murphy had never heard before!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The rhythm of the war drum became louder and louder, and the old lizardman priest standing on the war drum beat the war drum like crazy. It shouted and shouted, and suddenly let out an extremely sharp high-decibel scream!

boom!

Boom boom!

The heavy footsteps that Murphy had vaguely heard before suddenly sounded again. The lizard warriors who had reorganized the front line let out a burst of cheers and shouts, while the half-elves trapped in the village had despair on their faces, and their morale was once in a slump. among.

"Reinforcements!"

Murphy frowned and ordered the Silver Shield infantry in front to withdraw without hesitation.

Contrary to Murphy's expectations, he also did not expect that the enemy's reinforcements would arrive so quickly, and it seemed that there were quite a lot of them.

Woo!

A desolate horn sounded.

The Silver Shield Legion infantry who were killing the Lizardmen warriors began to retreat, and the Greek heavy infantry hidden in the dense forest led by Murphy also appeared on the battlefield in a phalanx. With spears like a forest, the cold wind howling, and no high-pitched war drums, in the slightly desolate sound of horns, the Athenian army stepped into the battlefield. They were silent and marched in neat steps. Only the clash of weapons as they walked The sound is like the rhythm of a heavy metal instrument!

What started as a tentative confrontation has now evolved into a head-on confrontation.

Realizing that the reinforcements were not all there, the besieged half-elves once again had hope, but everything now had little to do with them, because this duel had evolved into the first battle between Athens and the Lizardmen. A head-to-head confrontation!

Following the lizardman shaman, the enemy's reinforcements also entered the battlefield. At the forefront were heavy infantry armed with heavy weapons (warhammers, long axes, and spears). They were tall and strong, with loose The front advance is similar to the barbarian fighting style. They were followed by light infantry equipped with simple weapons such as swords. They were slightly shorter in stature, but were still two heads taller than humans. At the end of the line were the archer troops, mainly composed of female lizardmen.

Ouch! Huh! Huh!

The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the defeated lizardmen warriors. They gave up besieging the half-elf villages and instead gathered in front of the formation, waving their weapons at the Athenian army and howling.

bump!

Bump!

Heavy footsteps sounded from the flanks of the battlefield, and with the increasingly frantic drumbeats of the lizardman shaman, three behemoths appeared on the battlefield. They are about 1.5 meters, nearly three meters wide, and more than seven meters long. Their limbs are extremely thick, and their long mouths are densely covered with fangs. They look more like an enlarged version of a prehistoric giant crocodile!

"Lizard!" Artoria's face was solemn, she held her hand, and she looked at Murphy.

But contrary to her expectations, the appearance of the giant lizard and the arrival of a large number of reinforcements did not shake the man at all. His expression remained calm, and his eyes looking at the battlefield were as calm and firm as ever. Inexplicably, even her slightly panicked mind calmed down.

This man really has a special temperament that affects others on the battlefield!

…

The appearance of the giant lizard made the morale of the lizard warriors so high that it almost exploded. They raised their weapons fanatically and howled to provoke the Athenian army.

However, the enemy's calm silence made these lizardman generals feel a little uneasy. Although they repeatedly tried to lower the enemy's morale, they did not launch an attack immediately because these enemies were too calm. It was so calm that it was almost eerie, as if they were ignoring the large number of people and war beasts like this giant lizard. They were still marching forward dullly, with strict discipline and neat formation. There was no noise at all, just like a whole!

"Flag Bearer!"

Just when the lizard man's morale was about to burst, Murphy finally gave the order.

The flag bearers on both wings of the army rushed out, and the infantry of the Silver Shield Legion who retreated from the battlefield were divided into two groups to protect the two wings of the Greek spear phalanx. The battle formation continued to move forward, and in the center of the battlefield were the corpses of lizard man warriors. There were also some lizard men who were pierced by heavy javelins but not dead immediately, wailing, but no one paid attention to them at this time.

The enemy's drums were still beating loudly.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Murphy's mouth. He raised his hand high and then pressed it down heavily!

War drum?

The Athenian army never needed drums!

As Murphy pressed his hand down heavily, the Greek hoplites raised their shields and spears high, and then slammed them together!

--boom! ! !

The sudden loud noise made the lizardman priest, who was in a state of madness, shake his hands as if he had taken some kind of drug. The drum beat suddenly became chaotic, and the person was swaying in the wind like a fallen flower. The loud sound of the collision of shields and spears formed an echo on the battlefield, instantly suppressing the excited and frantic howls of the lizard men.

silence!

The lizardman soldiers who were so excited because of the arrival of reinforcements seemed to have their throats strangled by life. Their weapons were still raised high in the air, but the half of the howl in their throats was blocked by force, and then came alive. It was held inside.

The person stood still for a long time like a fool.

Arturia was always paying attention to the changes on the battlefield. After the initial shock, she didn't know why she suddenly wanted to laugh when she saw the lizard man's expression at this moment.

boom!

boom!

boom!

Once, twice, three times.

The Greek hoplites held their spears and shields high, beating their war drums in the same rhythm as if in unison!

--"Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted."

At the moment when the lizardmen were at their highest and most enthusiastic, the 'war drum' that was exclusive to Athens suppressed their high morale in an instant, and then forcibly prevented them from holding it in. In the end, they were still alive and suffered internal injuries!

Three times.

Not too much, not too much.

The Greek hoplites stood their shields in front of them, then clenched their spears, without shouting, shouting, or howling in excitement because they suppressed the enemy's momentum. They were as taciturn as ever, just like the Spartan warriors standing on the battlefield. They stared at the enemy in front and marched forward in neat steps with their comrades around them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The concentrated footsteps made the lizard warriors feel depressed, and the enemy's silence was like a huge boulder weighing on their hearts.

On the battlefield.

The Athenian army advanced in silence.

Six hundred steps.

Five hundred steps.

Four hundred steps.

The distance between the two sides was closing, and the Athenian army stopped before entering the range of the archers.

"Drink!" The Greek heavy infantry shouted loudly, protecting their shields on their chests, and pointed the spears in their hands at the surprised enemy.

…

The girl has been observing, and she has been shocked during the observation. Until this moment, she did not know what discipline is and what a real army is! Her eyes couldn't help but look at the man standing on the battlefield. She finally understood why Athens was able to defeat orcs several times larger than herself, and finally understood why Athens rose so quickly!

This man...

This is his army! ! !

Sonorous!

Murphy pulled out the sharp sword from his waist, pointed at the slightly uneasy lizard soldiers from a distance, and roared: "The God of War is watching us!"

"We are invincible!!!"

"Power and glory!"

Silent, silent, the Greek soldiers who had been silent for a long time let out a roar that shook the sky!

An invincible momentum suddenly swept across the entire battlefield. The soldiers marched forward with high morale. Their neat steps made the earth tremble. They stared at the enemy with firm eyes, gripped the spears in their hands, and approached step by step.

disturbed.

Not only were the lizard soldiers feeling uneasy, but the giant lizards also made a commotion as if they were facing a prehistoric beast.

This can't go on like this any longer.

Otherwise, the army may collapse without attacking!

The lizardman generals are very keenly aware of this. The morale of their own army has been completely suppressed by the enemy's huge momentum. If this drags on like this, the soldiers may not have any fighting spirit. Although the enemy's strict discipline shocked it, it did not think that its army would lose to these weak humans. Although there was a gap in equipment, its own army was far superior to the enemy in terms of size and numbers.

What's more, he still has a shaman and those powerful monitor lizards.

However, the lizard people generals did not notice that their shaman had been abruptly interrupted by the war drum ceremony, and then was snatched away by the huge momentum of the Athenian army. At this moment, he had vomited blood and fell to the ground. Get down on the ground.

…

--------------------------

800 Greek hoplites vs 1,500 lizard warriors!

Neither side had many archers, and after a few sparse waves of arrows, the two sides entered into fierce hand-to-hand combat.

The powerful strangulation ability of the Greek spear phalanx comes into play!

After the two wings were protected by the Silver Shield infantry, the Greek hoplites were able to deal with the frontal enemies with confidence. After experiencing the power of the Silver Shield Legion infantry before, the Lizardmen warriors also consciously began to avoid the rock-solid Silver Shield Legion infantry on the flanks, trying to defeat the enemy's line from the front by relying on their tall men and horses.

But soon, the bloody facts will tell them how stupid it is to defeat the Greek spear phalanx from the front!

When the high gnolls tried to do this, they turned into corpses.

The elite orcs tried to do this, and they also turned into corpses.

These lizardmen are no exception!

Jackal wars, Orc wars, large-scale purges, the Athenian army grew up in blood. With the blessing of the Temple of War, and the arduous Spartan-style training under the whip of the God of War priest, the blood and sweat shed can be measured in a car! These Athenian soldiers have long since grown into real elites!

They are the professional soldiers of this era! It is also the most professional army!

Their existence is to deal with war and win!

…

The brutal hand-to-hand combat was still in a stalemate, and in a short period of time, the lizardmen soldiers would not understand how fanciful it was to defeat the Greek infantry phalanx from the front. But by the time they reacted, this war was almost over.

"One person per person, whoever ends up solving it first will be handed over to whom."

Murphy no longer needs to direct the battle on the battlefield. The experienced centurion will coordinate the fighting method of the entire legion. Murphy handed over the command to the new general on the side, then looked at Artoria beside him, and said solemnly: "These giant lizards are too big. If we let them attack the infantry square, I'm afraid our losses will be too high." It will be serious, so we must deal with them before they enter the battlefield!"

"A competition?" Artoria's eyes widened and she couldn't help but think in her heart.

But she quickly nodded excitedly and held her hand. She is a very strong girl. Although she often seems a bit stupid, this does not mean that she has given up. In fact, when facing a strong man like Murphy, she always seemed to have something stuck in her heart. Today she had the opportunity to be able to reverse her disadvantage and feel proud. She had a clear idea, and she couldn't help but feel slightly excited.

She had, and while there were many limitations to using its immense power, the sword itself was incredibly sharp.

The girl had already foreseen her victory at this moment.

This time, the Chief Priest of the God of War did not accompany him. Although the Spartan conquerors had brought them, the only ones with the extraordinary power to quickly kill war beasts like giant lizards were Murphy himself and the girl beside him. Seeing the girl's slightly excited look, as well as the twinkling light in her eyes and her stubbornness not to admit defeat, Murphy shook his head and smiled.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up three heavy javelins and leaped out like an agile cheetah!

"Cunning man!"

The girl, who was obviously delayed for a moment because of her reverie, hurried to follow, and couldn't help but think in her heart.
