Summoning Total War

Chapter 33 Purification and Rest! Asking for recommendation votes

(I’ve been running around everywhere these past two days, and the biggest emotion I feel is that it’s so hard to do anything when you’re born in China! The sea anemone has landed, and there have been continuous heavy rains here, and sometimes there are power outages. If there is an outage, it should be related to this problem. Also, I hope there won’t be a flood. This is what I’m most afraid of in 2012.)

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

Three days later.

The city of mercenaries marches eastward!

In this war to regain the lost territory, the Mercenary City mobilized more than 100,000 troops, including 60,000 infantry, 30,000 archers, and 10,000 cavalry. Among these 60,000 infantrymen, there are nearly 20,000 heavy infantry regiments. The military strength they dispatched cannot be said to be strong! As we all know, there are only two types of infantry on the battlefield, one is heavy infantry, and the other is light infantry. Light infantry can do auxiliary battles, but the only way to defeat them on the frontal battlefield is through heavy infantry. Legion!

Why was the Athenian army invincible on the frontal battlefield?

One of the important reasons is that the Athenian infantry legions are almost all heavy infantry (heavy armor), and there are almost no light infantry.

In addition to infantry, in this operation to regain lost territory, the elves also sent out nearly 20,000 archer troops, including many elven mages and wild druids. As for the cavalry, the mercenary city is unable to support such a large knights. These heavily armored knights are private soldiers gathered by nobles from all over the country, including the three thousand Knights Templar.

After all, the Mercenary City is just a city. Even if it has the financial support of the entire southern rear, it cannot support an army of 100,000 people. These are not miscellaneous soldiers. Their equipment costs, maintenance costs, daily consumption, and military salary payments Waiting, etc. are all huge burdens. Even the financial resources of the Kingdom of Athens in another dimension cannot support it at all.

Not to mention other troops, the 10,000 regular knights alone can deplete a city.

………………

Of course, these are only the troops on the surface. Other small-scale elite troops also include the Earth Dragon Knights, the Griffin Knights, the Flying Dragon Knights, the magic heavy infantry, the airship floating artillery unit, and various mages. Etc., etc! Although there are these powerful units, because their number is too small, the total number is less than 2,000, so they are not incorporated into the main battle force, but are put into battle as a special unit at critical moments!

One day before the army set off, three giant dragons landed on the high platform of the Mercenary City!

A red dragon, a green dragon, and an extremely rare bronze dragon. These are all pure-blood dragon species, and they represent the top dragon knights on this plane. With the arrival of the Flying Dragon Knights, various sub-dragon species are hovering over the entire mercenary city, including bipedal flying dragons, Redodd pterosaurs, hunting tooth plesiosaurs, ventral ichthyosaurs, etc. .

These are all flying dragon species, and more than half of them live in swamp areas.

As reinforcements from various places arrived, the morale of the mercenary city became increasingly high. This was almost the largest counterattack launched by the southern rear in recent decades. In order to successfully capture Zenda, Queen Isabella even Even three dragon knights guarding the royal city were sent out at once! It is said that two of the palace magicians who are close to the legendary field have also been sent over!

………………

In the afternoon of the third day.

A new wave of reinforcements arrived again, and all the orcs and wolf cavalry appeared in front, and the howls of wolves echoed in the boundless wildness. The Orcs, who have had a stiff relationship with humans over the years, also decided to send troops to assist this time. Not only did they send a 3,000-man heavy wolf cavalry legion, but they also sent a 5,000-man heavy infantry force, and A troop of orc berserkers!

The sword masters of the Orc Shaman Order and the Burning Blade Clan also appeared on the battlefield!

………………

Morning of the fourth day.

The giant eagle soared above everyone's heads. High elves rode Chimeras and flew from the southwest of the continent. Armed hippogryphs hovered above everyone's heads. On the armor of the high elves, the radiance of arcane magic was like stars. flickering.

………………

The afternoon of the fourth day.

A group of nearly a hundred blade ogres joined the team. They were armed with huge battle axes and covered in heavy armor. They were led by another two-headed ogre shaman and headed in the direction of Zenda.

………………

Early morning on the fifth day.

Hill giants came one by one in the morning glow of the sunrise. Their huge bodies were so visible that every step made the earth tremble slightly. These huge hill giants had almost no equipment. They had their upper bodies naked and their waists naked. Surrounded by a simple animal skin, they came holding huge logs. Because of their appearance, the alchemists had to work all night to melt steel and create weapons for them!

We can't let these powerful reinforcements go to the battlefield shirtless like this, right?

………………

On this day, it seemed that the clarion call for counterattack was sounded.

Armies came one after another, and races united together. They headed in the direction of Zenda. Their purpose was only one, and that was to win a victory!

They are so eager for a victory!

On this day, Murphy also took the 300 mercenaries he had just recruited and mingled with the huge team of nearly 120,000 people.

………………

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

The army entered near Zenda.

The scout troops on the front line began to encounter scattered demon attacks, and fighting also began along the way.

After entering the territory of Zenda, the army divided into two groups. The main forces of all races went straight to the city of Zenda. As long as they could destroy the demon army entrenched in Zenda City and then close the giant abyss portal opened inside, then the abyss demons would The army will no longer be able to descend into this plane through this portal. Once this giant portal is closed, it means that this land has been recovered. The abyss demons can only open the portal from other places, and humans will have time to regroup and deploy a new line of defense. .

As for the mission of the mercenaries, it is to close the small portals near various towns and villages, and then eliminate the demons entrenched nearby.

Intermediate-level demons and above cannot stay in this plane for too long, because after all, this plane is still the main material plane, not an abyss filled with chaotic energy. If they stay in the main material plane for too long, their own The power will enter a period of decline. Therefore, every once in a while, those demons above the intermediate level will return to the abyss.

This plane is already a space that has been highly eroded by the abyss. Different from the plane where the Kingdom of Athens is located, this plane not only has many space cracks, but also has been expanded by the demons and built a A portal connecting all parts of the abyss. These portals are passages, ready for the army of abyssal demons to attack this plane at any time.

Only by closing these abyss portals can the demon army not easily descend on this plane!

After all, although this plane has become dilapidated, powerful laws of order and space barriers still exist. Even those high-level demons cannot descend into the material world at will.

………………

"If the druids of Cenarion are unable to take down Mount Sauron, then the next step for the abyss demons should be to open portals through space cracks like this plane, right?" Murphy looked around. The broken wall murmured in a low voice.

The glorious civilization of this plane can be seen even from the ruins of these ruins that have passed for decades.

The dilapidated buildings that have been eroded by the years, even now, can be seen how majestic they were in the past. The broken marble columns and the broken arms of huge sculptures scattered around all reflect the past. Brilliant building craftsmanship!

"Sir! This used to be a big town called Yadi, and where we are now is the central square." An aboriginal mercenary pointed to the broken steps not far away and said softly: "That's where the fountain is. Originally there was a huge heroic statue erected there. Legend has it that he was a dragon-slaying warrior who killed an evil red dragon!"

Murphy looked around and said with a serious expression: "Be careful, there should be demons lurking around here!"

When accepting the mission at the Mercenary Union, Murphy also obtained a map of the entire Zenda, and the information displayed on it was different from what he estimated. That is, the total area of ​​Zenda has reached 15,000 square kilometers, which is almost equivalent to the area of ​​the capital city of China in the previous life. Some of the large towns here are almost as large as a city in the Kingdom of Athens.

There are nearly a hundred abyss portals, large and small, in the entire Zenda territory, and the mission certificate to regain the lost land is to obtain the soul mark stones that close the portals!

The soul is the purest energy!

Demons slaughter intelligent creatures, sacrifice their flesh and blood, and then condense their souls into various soul stones, which are used as a source of power for themselves and as props to open the abyss portal!

In the darkest and bloody period, hundreds of millions of creatures on the continent were massacred!

These slaughtered intelligent beings became tools for the advent of high-level demons under the sacrifice of flesh and blood, and were then condensed into soul stones to build portals leading to the abyss. Only by removing the imprinted soul stones that are the core energy of the abyss portals and purifying them with the help of sacred power can the portals be completely closed, and the slaughtered souls can rest in peace!
