The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

On the endless grassland, there is no obstruction around, and the terrain is flat without any height.

For both sides of the battle, this is a relatively fair battle environment, if you don't count the fortified city behind the count's troops.

To defend against attacks from the front and rear at the same time, Aini's pressure is relatively greater.

Therefore, when Reina saw Aini forming a hedgehog formation, she did not choose to attack blindly.

After experiencing the battle with the orcs, Count Aini himself was the biggest beneficiary, and his level increased by 6 levels after the battle.

You know, at that time, Aini was not just a teenage rookie like Xu Lai.

But after the battle, Aini had stagnated, and only Xu Lai was still fighting non-stop.

Therefore, even though Reina possesses the ultimate defense technique and has high-level defense specialties, she still dare not take it lightly.

Because she knew that Earl Aini could afford to lose, but Xu Lai definitely couldn't afford to lose.

Reina actually didn't know how Xu Lai was able to accumulate so many troops based on one city.

But she knew that it would not be easy or impossible to have such luck again.

Reina is not only an elf, but has also been imprisoned in an underground prison for decades. She can be regarded as an extreme stranger in the human world.

But she is by no means a stranger to fighting, but is very experienced.

She could tell at a glance what the other party was guarding against in this formation, and it was even more impossible for her to use cavalry to charge into the formation as the other party wished.

Completely different from Aini's formation, Reina put the few crossbow troops at the front of the army, and also pushed the team into the opponent's range.

Compared to archers, crossbowmen have two disadvantages: a slower rate of fire and a shorter range.

The advantage of the crossbowman is that, except for loading, most of the force used is mechanical force, which consumes less physical energy.

In addition, the attack of crossbows is also relatively high, especially after the level 4 heavy crossbowmen are upgraded to the level 5 armor-piercing crossbowmen, the damage to heavy armor units is far greater than that of shooters.

Finally, crossbow bolts are much shorter than arrows, so they can be carried in large quantities, and their ammunition reserves are generally about twice as large as those of archers.

The output of crossbowmen in Qingfeng City is not as high as that of archers, but crossbowmen are not as favored by heroes and nobles as archers. The number of crossbowmen sold on the market is much higher than that of archers.

The Qingfeng Legion finally gathered 500 heavy crossbowmen and 100 armor-breaking crossbowmen.

The heavy crossbowmen are in front, and the armor-piercing crossbowmen with a longer range are behind. They line up at the front of the team, advancing all the way into the shooting range of the enemy crossbowmen and shooters.

Of course Aini would not be polite. As soon as they reached the attack range, their own crossbowmen and shooters began a large-scale attack.

It's just that Aini's archery level is not high. Coupled with the extreme range attack, the damage will be halved, and his morale has not yet returned to its best condition.

Faced with crossbowmen units with high morale bonuses and damage reduction by defensive skills and defensive specialties, crossbowmen are generally heavily armored and have much higher defense than archers.

Under the multiple reductions, even though the scale of the arrow rain looked terrifying, with the number at least ten times that of the crossbowmen legion, the damage caused was pitifully low.

Following behind the crossbowmen legion was the priest group led by Archbishop Anna. Xu Lai brought more than 600 priests from the temple alone.

Including Qingfeng City's reserves and those from underground diplomacy, the number exceeded 800, close to 1,000.

Among them, the lowest level is all level 5, and there are 200 high priests and bishops who have advanced from the mountain fortress.

With these people healing behind him, and almost two priests staring at a crossbowman, it was really not easy to die.

The reason why Reina took the risk and pushed the crossbowman over was to get within the range of the straight arrow.

It's a pity that Xu Lai no longer has the Phantom Arrow, otherwise Reina wouldn't have taken such a risk.

The straight arrow range coupled with Lena's ultimate archery skills, against the half-arrow output of the opponent's archer, cleared the opponent's spearmen, spearmen, and heavy armored spearmen bit by bit.

Arrows were flying around his head, and Aini couldn't see clearly for a while.

He found someone to push the observation car over and climbed up to take a look. What a guy, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Obviously, under the fire suppression of our own long-range troops, the white light from the opposite camp was seen rising continuously, and no one fell down after shooting for a long time.

On the contrary, it was our own side. There were not many level 3 spearmen left in the first row, and their morale had also dropped by one point.

Although the morale was only reduced by 1 point, Aini's troops numbered hundreds of thousands, which meant that our side may have lost more than a thousand.

"If I'm not mistaken, those are priests, right?"

Parame shook her head upon seeing this.

Just when Aini was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Parame said: "Those are all priests of the lowest level 5, depending on the color of the robes, and there are many high priests and bishops of the sixth level."

"ha?"

At this time, another ray of light fell from the sky, completely covering the entire crossbowmen group. It was the attack from Fang Yang that accelerated.

Today's battle was a little too exciting for Fang Yang.

It's not like he hasn't fought with Xu Lai before, and the time with the Hell Devil was far more dangerous than this time.

This time, despite the jingling rain of arrows, they hit the body like raindrops, but apart from wearing away a little of the armor's durability, it hardly caused any damage.

Even if there is an occasional critical hit, the priests behind him can restore his health in an instant.

Facing the violent storm of crossbow bolts and arrows, Fang Yang's adrenaline quickly surged to a terrifying height.

Fortunately, he is not the commander of this battle. No matter how excited he is, it will not have much impact on this battle.

Even the crossbowmen under his command mostly received special influence from Reina.

He only needed to be able to clearly identify the orders given by Rena and command the crossbowmen to make adjustments in a timely manner.

Shooting was far from Reina's opponent, and Aini also took out his magic book.

The classic spell from Qingfeng City, blindness, is also recorded in his magic book.

Reina has already released a spell. Theoretically, as long as Aini puts this spell on those crossbowmen, the other side will not be able to remove it in a short time.

The key is that he has prepared the spell, but he can't throw it at the opponent's crossbowman.

Even the archer in front of him can only attack within half an arrow range. How could he, a lord who has shrunk further back, throw his spell at the crossbowman on the opposite side?

Aini, who was furious, threw a bloodthirsty thaumaturgy to his shooters.

Unfortunately, Aini does not specialize in fire magic, and bloodthirsty magic can only increase the basic attack by 3 points.

Although there are offensive techniques that can amplify the effects of these three basic attacks, for Fang Yang and the others, the perception is still not very obvious.

"Mage, what do you think we should do now?"

Parame shook her head and said, "It seems like we have to wait until the opponent's priests have exhausted all their mana."

"How many troops will I lose?"

Parame said: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know the mana value of the priests.

However, according to general calculations, with this intensity, it should be able to support at least another one to two hours. "

"so long?"

Paramei smiled bitterly and said: "You may not notice how many white lights flicker, but most of them are low-level group healing techniques. They don't consume much mana and the treatment range is wide.

One to two hours is still an optimistic estimate. If you are not lucky, you may be able to hold on until dark.

In fact, the main reason is that our output ability is too weak and the opponent's defense ability is too strong, otherwise their mana consumption will be at least several times higher. "

Aini looked at the sky and saw that it had not been long since noon, but it gets dark very early in the winter, and it was only 3 or 4 hours before dark at most.

But 3 or 4 hours is not a short period of time.

Judging from the rate of death of the spearmen, after 3 or 4 hours, the spearmen in the front row should be dead long ago.

“No, we can’t continue like this.

After all the spearmen in my front row were killed, the fragile long-range troops in the middle were completely without protection.

As long as the opponent's commander is not a fool and sends cavalry forward, our troops will immediately collapse. "

No matter what, the current situation of being beaten without being able to fight back must be changed, otherwise morale will be lost sooner or later.

Ani immediately ordered all troops to move steadily towards Rena's department in formation.

It is clear that our own long-range power is ten or even twenty times greater than that of the other party, but we are suppressed by the other party and have to take the initiative to attack.

When taking the initiative to attack, of course the long-range troops can no longer shoot. Fortunately, they can't kill anyone anyway.

Even if you focus the fire, you can't drop anyone for a second, so what's the point of hiding behind and shooting from a long distance?

The actions of Ani's large army were immediately detected by Rena.

Although she released Yan Feng and the archers he led, she still had Pegasus knights like Ed to help her with her investigation.

Reina's response was also very simple. Since Aini could no longer bear it, it meant that her tactics were correct.

Moreover, one's own troops move faster and are smaller in size, making them move much faster and more flexibly than the opponent's.

Although there seemed to be 10,000 people during the military parade, it was actually only more than 7,000.

Not counting the absence of Xu Lai and his bodyguard paladins, as well as the absence of Yu Lan and her mage troops, Reina's total number of new recruits, including those in the logistics, was only over 10,000.

Therefore, although they were the last to attack, the troops of the Qingfeng Legion were the first to complete the retreat mission.

Aini, who was also pushed forward by the infantry, almost vomited three liters of blood again after seeing this scene.

There was no way, the crossbowmen led by Fang Yang not only had the logistics bonus from Reina, but also the attack acceleration bonus released by himself.

Coupled with the bonus brought by high morale, the speed is simply not something Ainibu can keep up with.

Moreover, the Qingfeng Legion mainly recruits soldiers. Although there are few generals, the troops are more orderly than the Aini tribe.

Aini was on the watchtower, jumping anxiously to no avail.

The opponent's long-range troops can even wait for Aini and the others to slowly follow up after opening a certain distance.

Of course, waiting is not in vain. Anyway, idle time is idle, and I can shoot a few more arrows by the way.

To be honest, there were not many crossbowmen after all. They had to run away and stop to shoot arrows at the same time. The real casualties caused were far less than the previous positional battles.

However, although there were no casualties in the positional battle, at least there was a majestic rain of arrows, which could give people an illusion.

In this way, you can't even fight back after being beaten, and the damage to morale is even more serious, especially for the troops merged from other nobles.

Originally, because of Jimmy's rebellion, other nobles had some thoughts in their minds.

Aini also wanted to forcefully recruit their troops and take them to the battlefield together. The key point is that such a battle does not seem to be very just.

Although they were dragged to the battlefield by Aini, Aini had no ability to block their sources of information.

The matter between Aini and the orcs has already spread a lot.

What's even more frightening is that Kaunaston Castle was breached in the morning, and several nobles received the news in the afternoon.

It's a pity that their troops are still in Aini's hands, otherwise someone might have escaped long ago.

However, if they knew that Aini and the temple had broken off, there would probably be many nobles who would fight to the death with Aini and quit Aini's legion.

The key point is that Aini has no good way to restrain them now, and the cavalry has been defeated by Tahan. This group of people is in a state of being able to run away at any time.

If you can't catch up, even if you wait until the cooldown time of your spell has passed, you will still release the spell to accelerate the attack.

But even so, Reina's troops are still faster. At worst, they just give up shooting and just run away.

There was no way to escape, as the opponent's cavalry kept wandering to the left and right.

Aini deliberately used the movement of the large troops to expose several large holes on the left and right sides. However, these cavalrymen were able to keep their composure and refused to move.

Without getting rid of these cavalry, Aini would not be able to retreat safely.

"There is no other way. There must be a choice. Order the spearmen at the rear to move to the front immediately."

Seeing that the front line was weakening, Aini had to move the gunmen who were guarding Jimmy in the rear to the front line.

However, everyone was already on the move, and Aini mobilized his troops at this time, which immediately had a great impact on the formation.

Upon seeing this, Jimmy on the top of the city immediately ordered the entire army to assemble.

Aini's troops were weak at the rear and fell into chaos again, just in time to stab him in the butt from behind.

The continuous battle to defend the city for many days has long made the soldiers and civilians in Martell city full of anger.

The reality was just as Jimmy expected. When he assembled 3,000 elite troops and stabbed Ru Aini's troops from the rear, each one was as if possessed by the god of war, and the killing was very unpleasant.

Without the protection of spearmen, even if the shooter holds a two-handed sword and the crossbowman wears heavy armor, they cannot be compared with professional infantry and cavalry.

Jimmy led 500 private cavalry and charged at the front.

Using him as an arrow, 3,000 elite troops caused great trouble to Aini's army, and even allowed them to reach the center of the country.

The number of crossbowmen and shooters who died in their hands may have exceeded their own number several times.

But at this time, after receiving the news, Reina couldn't help but frown. (End of chapter)
