Summoning Total War

Chapter 93: Chief Priest of the God of War (Part 1)

Almost at the same time as Murphy gave the order, the Spartan conquerors and Ares priests moved. As the most elite Spartan warriors, their keen intuition about the battlefield is unmatched by others. The jackal leader who is nearly three meters tall is definitely not something that ordinary soldiers can deal with. The elite jackal men who are covered in armor and holding huge battle axes are simply humanoid ferocious beasts. If they are allowed to wreak havoc within the phalanx, the Greek phalanx will surely fall into pieces!

Ordinary warriors alone cannot deal with this kind of creature that has power that far exceeds the limits of human beings.

At this time, we can only rely on the power of the Spartan warriors!

"Stabilize the defense line! Spread out the formation behind! Let the priests deal with these beasts!" Murphy mobilized the Spartan heavy-armed fanatical infantry guarding him to the gap broken by the high-level Jackal armored cavalry, and then ordered the guards to The attendants held the line of defense.

It only took less than thirty seconds from the time when the elite wolf cavalry broke through the Greek phalanx and rushed into the formation, to when Murphy mobilized the Spartan heavy infantry to block the gap.

Almost as soon as Murphy finished speaking, the second echelon of unarmored wolf cavalry crashed into them.

The spear penetrated the body of the wolf cavalry, but under the impact of hundreds of kilograms of weight of the wolf cavalry and the wolf and its men, the terrible inertial force almost knocked the Greek hoplites in the first row into the air!

In just a few breaths, the soldiers in contact with the first front line, whether they were gnolls or Greek heavy infantry, began to suffer heavy casualties.

The rear row of wolf cavalry was blocked by the corpses of their companions, and they were crowded together. Some gnoll cavalry tried to drive the giant wolves into the phalanx, but after the first surprise, the Greek soldiers had already reacted. Those wolf cavalry who tried to jump over the square formation were immediately stabbed into bloody gourds by their spears. The Greek pike phalanx had the first row with flat ends and the second row pointing upwards. After the third and fourth rows, it was basically upright. As long as they wave their weapons to sweep away the spears in the first and second rows, the wolf cavalry can leap into the square formation and kill them!

The Greek spear is about 2.5 meters, plus the arm distance of the soldier, and the distance of the wolf cavalry jumping in advance, then the warg's five-meter horizontal leap will just jump over the first row of spearmen. As long as the elite wolf knights can sweep away the spears in the first and second rows, they can cut into the square formation to fight!

In fact, the reason for this result is that the Greek gun array is much shorter.

If we are facing the Macedonian super spear phalanx, then these jackals leaping are simply seeking death!

Fortunately, the Spartan heavy-armed fanatic infantry blocked the gap opened by the Jackal cavalry in time.

Compared with the ordinary Greek heavy infantry, the Spartan heavy-armed fanatic infantry was more powerful. When entering the violent state, their strength was greatly increased. They could even use their round shields to block the heavy blows of the wolf cavalry wielding their giant axes. Losing the lethality of the first wave of charges, the Wolf Cavalry's explosive power began to decline significantly. In fact, if it cannot penetrate and cut the infantry phalanx, any cavalry will gradually be consumed by being surrounded by infantry.

The result of the first collision was that the charge of the Jackal cavalry was blocked with the lives of more than two hundred Greek hoplites.

The wolf cavalry at the front, after losing the power bonus brought by the charge, could only fight with heavy weapons. Some gnolls even had to jump off the wargs and got into an infantry battle with the Greek heavy infantry!

Although the charge of the Wolf Cavalry was blocked, the battle still fell into a difficult stalemate.

Because the wolf cavalry who jumped out of the warg infantry battle is almost equivalent to a heavy infantry equipped with heavy weapons and almost half wearing armor! Even if they jump off their mounts and fight on foot, their strength is not far from that of the Greek heavy infantry! Taking advantage of their innate physical strength, these jackals who dismounted and fought on foot were actually on a par with the Greek hoplites!

But this time the advantage of numbers comes into play.

The hoplites on both flanks began to close in, while the second echelon of longbowmen began to fire freely. Gnolls are much taller than humans, which provides an eye-catching target for longbowmen.

If the armored giant wolf cavalry headed by a high-level jackal cannot disrupt the Greek hoplite phalanx, then the balance of victory will definitely tilt towards Murphy!

The end of the first echelon is the space between the first echelon and the second echelon.

The elite jackal cavalry that jumped into the square formation swept forward with heavy weapons, and suddenly the Greek heavy infantry all around fell to the ground. Being hit by these high-level gnolls who are over 2.5 meters tall and covered with muscles, even if they successfully block with a shield, the terrifying force will result in death or injury.

Almost when the high-level gnolls wanted to completely disrupt the Greek infantry phalanx, Murphy's order was issued.

The chief priest of the Temple of War pulled off the cloak on his back. This warrior with solid and dark skin like an iron tower just bulged his chest, held the knife in his backhand, jumped up, stepped on the shield of the Greek heavy infantry with his toes, and quickly rushed towards those The high-level gnolls who rushed into the phalanx approached. Following the movements of the chief priest of the God of War, other priests and Spartan conquerors also took off their cloaks and quickly approached the high-level gnolls who broke through the formation.

The chief priest of the God of War is very fast, very fast.

His ability to move and jump beyond the limits of ordinary people even made Murphy doubt whether he knew the ancient light kung fu of Middle-earth.

About ten meters away from the high-level jackal leader, the chief priest of the God of War suddenly threw out the two swords in his left hand!

clang!

The animalistic instinct of the high gnoll leader allowed him to block the attack of the chief priest.

Fire bursts.

The serrated blade that was knocked away drew an arc and returned to the chief priest's hand. At this time, others discovered that the chief priest's double swords were connected to a long and narrow steel chain behind the handle!

From holding the knife in his backhand to holding it in his hand, the chief priest leapt into the air nearly four meters away. Holding the serrated blade with both hands, he slashed head-on towards the high-level jackal leader!

clang!

There was another crisp sound of weapons clashing.

The high-ranking gnoll leader was knocked back three steps by the terrifying impact, while the chief priest leapt into the air when the two swords clashed to remove the reaction force, and landed on one knee behind him in an extremely gorgeous posture.

The serrated blade made of carburized steel has already developed a chip and a slight crack, and I'm afraid it will break after a few more attacks.

The chief priest stuck out his tongue and licked away the blood on his arm. It was not his. The usually taciturn Spartan warrior showed a bloodthirsty smile and said coldly: "That's all!"

He is a powerful warrior who was given power by the god of war Kratos after the battle in Old Town.

Naturally, he had heard about the heavy losses suffered by the Spartan heavy infantry under the attack of the advanced gnolls in the First World War in the Old Town. This is also the reason why he took the initiative to find the leader of the high-level jackals in this battle.

It can be said that in the current territory, apart from the Spartan conquerors, only the war priest can defeat this high-level jackal leader.

The chief priest shook his arm, and the serrated double blades in his hand rotated rapidly. Soon, the steel chains connecting the handle and the arm were tightly wrapped around his forearm, like a chain bracer. Holding one hand forward and one hand backward, the God of War Priest jumped forward and cut into the throat of the Jackal leader in a rotating arc! The clanking sound of weapons continued uninterrupted. The more the high-level jackal leader fought, the more frightened and fearful he became, because the 'thin' enemy in front of him actually had a power close to that of him!

the most important is! He doesn't seem to get tired, and he becomes more courageous as he fights!

At this moment, for the first time, this high-level jackal leader, who had always been unscrupulous in the face of humans, was afraid.

In the energy fluctuations invisible to the naked eye, a faint red light emerged in the hands of the chief priest of the God of War. It was a blood-red light, belonging to the power of war and killing!

The Greek heavy infantry consciously vacated a small space, while the Spartan conquerors and other war temple priests met the remaining high-level gnolls who rushed into the phalanx. Their equipment is the same, and their fighting methods are almost all taught by the chief priest of the God of War. The only difference is that since their combat skills are not as high as those of the Ares Priests, the serrated double blades in their hands are not attached to steel chains.

Roar!

There was no time to hesitate. As soon as he entered the battle, the Spartan Conqueror decisively activated the violent power granted by the God of War Kratos.

They wielded serrated double blades and fought head-on with those high-level gnolls. Every blow is a hard blow of strength, and every confrontation means a collision of flesh and blood. These conquerors, empowered by the god of war Kratos himself, completely abandoned any technical fighting style. Instead, they used the most brutal and direct slashes to kill the high-level jackals who rushed into the square formation!

The best of these Spartans!

Top Spartan warriors trained by the Temple of War!

Because of their existence, for the first time, human beings are no longer overwhelmingly suppressed by the advanced gnolls in terms of individual combat effectiveness!

In the third echelon of the defensive front.

The long sword on his waist that had been following the leader of the magicians, Merlin, remained silent. The thin figure, who only became slightly more active when eating, couldn't help but place his slender hands on the delicate hilt of the sword at his waist. This thin and slender figure has been wearing a large gray cloak. His face cannot be clearly seen, and he can only vaguely tell that he looks more like a man than a woman. He is an outlier among this group of magicians, and the only one who wears a melee weapon. In fact, Murphy felt that even the leading magician Merlin maintained a certain degree of awe and distance from him.

Just as the thin figure put his hand on the hilt of the sword, Merlin, the leader of the magicians, stopped him.

Merlin looked at the high-level gnolls who were being killed one by one by the Spartan conquerors, and said seriously: "Now is not the time to use your power..."
