Chapter 1354: Changes and the Enemy at the Gate
On the battlefield where shouts and cries of killing were deafening, the gleams of swords and the shadows of blood were intertwined. The fierce power of magic and the blazing flames of war reflected the faces of the fighters, some of whom were filled with anger, some with distorted features, and some with fear in their eyes.
As large numbers of trolls and tauren mages fell, the flowing blood-red color not only made the ground more viscous, but even dyed the nearby glowstone waterfall blood-red. The bodies of soldiers kept flying down the waterfall and finally fell into the bottomless valley.
For a moment, the sound of rushing water and whimpering screams came one after another, like a melody of the dance of death, adding a thrilling rhythm to the already fierce battlefield.
After the long-dormant Dragonborn backstab army appeared, the Dragonborn frontal army, which had been clearly at a disadvantage, suddenly became more motivated. The wedge formation inserted into the opponent's camp became much sharper, and they began to cooperate with the outer backstab army to launch a pincer attack.
Because the Dragonborn's move came too suddenly, the completely unprepared troll and tauren army began to collapse from the mage and archer units in the rear line, and soon spread to the infantry lines in the middle and front. The pairs of eyes that were originally flashing with ferocious light turned into panic and confusion.
Such attacks from both sides, coupled with the sudden force of the entire Dragonborn army, even many Dragonborn soldiers directly activated magic scrolls to deal close damage to the heavily armed opponents in front of them, made the already chaotic opponent's army formation on the verge of total collapse. A large number of trolls and tauren soldiers were like headless flies, and they even began to push and trample on each other, completely in a state of not knowing where to go.
But this one-sided situation did not last long. Under the roars and commands of the troll and tauren generals at various places on the front line, some even swung their giant axes to execute the panicked soldiers around them on the spot. The formation soon stabilized a lot.
But at this moment, the two armies of the Dragonborn attacking from the front and back were like two sharp blades, moving towards each other with unstoppable momentum, and were only one step away from breaking through the opponent's entire line.
Once the front line is completely broken, even if the troll and tauren commanders roar, it will be difficult to stop the dragon army.
More importantly, as long as the Dragonborn army gathers together and successfully breaks out of the encirclement, it will undoubtedly form a second pincer attack with the flower fairy army that is still in the encirclement.
By then, it would undoubtedly be difficult for the troll and tauren armies to tip the scales of victory.
In this situation, even if the troll and tauren armies tried to regroup their scattered forces, it would be easy for the dragonborn and flower elves to find their weaknesses, and they would naturally be unable to save the situation.
On the walls of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress, after noticing this in their hearts, all our commanders held their breath and stared closely at every move on the battlefield.
"Look, the army of flower fairies on the top of the mountain has also started to move, trying to move closer to the direction where the dragon army is trying to break out, and they are targeting all the attacks of their magic cannons on the opponents in this area!"
Chris's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "At this distance, although the cautious flower fairy is unlikely to take advantage of the Dragonborn's favorable situation to break through directly, as long as the Dragonborn succeeds in breaking through, it will be easy to form a second pincer attack with the latter!"
"That's right. Since we have thought of this, the commander of the flower fairy can naturally think of it as well."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said, "At present, the morale of the troll and tauren army is far from as high as it was at the beginning. In addition, a lot of key magic power and heavy armor forces have been wiped out by the dragon army."
"Under such circumstances, even if the Dragonborn and the Flower Fairies have not formed an alliance, as long as the commanders of both sides are tacitly aware of it, the possibility of defeating the alliance of trolls and tauren in one fell swoop is still very high."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and concluded: "Of course, the premise is that both sides play according to common sense."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that there may be some variables?"
When Broy heard the voice, a look of confusion immediately appeared on his face. It was obvious that he could not imagine where the variable would come from.
"This is also a possibility. Don't forget that the battlefield is ever-changing and intrigues are commonplace. Anything can happen."
Lei Xiao's eyes were deep as he responded, "Besides, the Dragonborn and the Flower Fairies have not truly formed an alliance, and the primary goal of all forces is not to destroy each other, but to target the key point."
"Your Majesty is right. All the forces that can stand in the outer domain are extremely shrewd. We must never consider only one possibility at any time. This will only make us passive."
Shuerte obviously agreed with Lei Xiao's statement and echoed: "Fortunately, we have already arranged everything in advance. Now we just need to sit back and watch the fight between the tigers, and respond to all changes with the same attitude."
As soon as Shult's old and steady voice fell, Chris's crisp voice rang out: "Look, everyone, under the cover of the flower fairy's magical artillery fire, the two dragon armies in front and behind are about to break through the lines of the trolls and minotaurs and will successfully merge!"
Before Chris finished speaking, on the battlefield opposite the Giant Valley, accompanied by several deafening demon explosions, biting storms and freezing ice rose into the sky at the same time, causing a big hole to be blown in the last troll heavy armored legion blocking the two dragon armies, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling were endless.
"It's the sixth-level dragonborn who's exerting his strength!"
Broy opened his eyes wide and exclaimed: "It seems that no one can stop the Dragonborn army from breaking through!"
As expected, after the last obstacle was completely broken, the dragon army attacking from the front and back quickly joined together and began to continue to eliminate the surrounding troll soldiers.
Since the Dragonborn troops clearly had an absolute advantage, and the surrounding troll soldiers were dazed by the sixth-level spell just now and had not yet recovered from the chaos, it didn't take long for them to be wiped out completely.
Seeing that they were powerless to turn the tide, the other trolls and tauren troops that formed the encirclement had no choice but to throw out the entire Dragonborn army in order to maintain their front line and did not continue to make futile remedial efforts.
At this point, the Dragonborn army had successfully broken through and reunited, and quickly re-formed an attack formation, began to change direction, and pushed back the troll and tauren army behind them.
The army of flower fairies that had already descended halfway down the mountain saw this and fired magic cannons and various long-range spells, continuously attacking the army of trolls and minotaurs.
Under the double attack from the flower fairies' magical bombardment in front and the dragonborn's close-range attacks in the back, the troll and tauren army's front line, which had just been stabilized, began to collapse again. The shrill wails had just been heard when they were drowned out by the sound of magic explosions and the sharp swords and sabers.
"The Flower Fairies and Dragonborn have truly taken the upper hand!"
Seeing this scene, Chris, who was watching the battle intently, couldn't help but brighten up her eyes.
"Although the trolls and the tauren have regrouped some of their forces, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for too long if they continue in this manner."
Broy's eyes reflected the battle on the other side of the valley, and he also looked very focused.
"That's right. As long as the Dragonborn and the Flower Fairy continue to attack with all their might, the trolls and the Tauren will almost certainly be defeated."
A gleam of wisdom flashed in Shulter's old eyes, and he continued, "But His Majesty has just said that the situation on the battlefield is unpredictable, and it is still unknown how it will develop."
Sitting in the core position of the crowd, Lei Xiao was listening to everyone's conversation while paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.
At present, after several consecutive battles, the strength of these four armies has declined, and I am afraid that at least all of them have dropped to less than 70%.
In other words, each side has at least 10 third-level legions that have lost their combat effectiveness, especially the trolls and tauren, whose losses are even greater. This undoubtedly relieves a lot of pressure on our side.
But even so, any force will still pose a huge threat to us, not to mention that we don’t know what the key is and where it is.
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking of this, something happened that caught our people in the fortress and all the forces on the battlefield off guard.
The Dragonborn army, which had been fighting smoothly, suddenly stopped attacking, and then the rear army became the front army, quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and began to regroup at the edge of the giant valley.
When the other three parties who were fighting fiercely saw this, they all froze in place for a moment. Even the battlefield, which was filled with deafening shouts of killing, almost came to a standstill.
But after a moment of stunned silence, the situation on the battlefield immediately reversed completely again.
After losing the threat of the Dragonborn in the rear, the trolls and tauren, who had already suffered relatively heavy losses, had almost no hesitation and directly poured all their anger on the still besieged army of flower fairies.
All of a sudden, countless magic catapults and magic cannons fired at the same time, roaring towards the army of flower fairies in the center.
boom! boom! boom!
Accompanied by a series of deafening explosions, the flower fairy's absolute defense barrier, which was not very strong to begin with, was immediately covered with cracks, and it was obvious that it had suffered severe damage.
Feeling the overwhelming murderous intent rising from the trolls and minotaurs, the army of flower fairies that had already approached the foot of the mountain knew that there was no hope of breaking out. In desperation, they had to return to the top of the mountain in an attempt to regain the advantageous terrain.
But on the way back, as the attacks of the trolls and minotaurs intensified, the flower fairy finally couldn't hold on and the defensive barrier was broken again.
At the same time as the crisp sound of the barrier breaking was heard, the magical artillery fire of the trolls and minotaurs was poured into the camp of the flower fairies. The deadly magical light immediately exploded into the sky, sweeping a large number of flower fairy soldiers who were caught off guard into the sky. Even their wings and bodies were quickly shattered. The result can be imagined.
After suffering a heavy blow for the second time, the army of flower fairies was in chaos and obviously in a very angry state. They simply opened fire at full power and began to fight back at the enemy who had not yet built an absolute defense barrier at the foot of the mountain.
For a while, the magical artillery fire from both sides came back and forth. Without the protection of the absolute defense barrier, it was like a real fight, constantly causing screams and fragments in the camps of both sides, and the situation was in a stalemate.
“What, what is this…?!”
Because this scene happened too suddenly, Chris was stunned for a few seconds before she reacted and said in surprise: "Your Majesty is right. The battlefield has indeed undergone unexpected changes again!"
Chris swallowed her saliva first, and then asked in confusion: "But the Dragonborn army has obviously gained an absolute advantage, why did they suddenly withdraw the army?"
"Don't forget what I just said. The goal of these four opponents is not just to destroy each other, but to touch the key point."
Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes and responded, "And now, after losing a considerable amount of strength, the trolls, minotaurs, and flower fairies are all fighting hard. Only the dragonborn has left the battle. The result is already very obvious."
"So the purpose of the Dragonborn Army from the very beginning was to make the first three parties contain and consume each other?"
Broy reacted immediately and blurted out: "And now they can touch the key point without any scruples!"
As Broy finished his words, the Dragonborn army, which had re-arranged its formation, rose into the air from the other side of the valley and rushed straight towards our fortress.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the vanguard of the Dragon Army had arrived at the center of the Giant Valley and continued to approach our fortress.
"The enemy's vanguard shows no sign of slowing down. It seems that the key is not in the depths of the giant valley, but on our side!"
Shuerte frowned and said, "The enemy will soon be at the gates of the city!"
Hearing this, everyone looked stern, but at the same time they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, we deployed in advance and concentrated our main forces in the Waterfall Watcher Fortress. Otherwise, with the opponent's unscrupulous attitude, once we are caught off guard, we will inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation.
It didn't take long before the enemy's vanguard troops marched straight across the huge valley and landed right in front of our fortress.
After landing again, the leading dragon general obviously noticed immediately that our side was on high alert. Although the other party was wearing a fully enclosed helmet and his face could not be seen, it was not difficult to tell from his hesitation for a moment that he seemed extremely surprised.
After exchanging views with other generals around for a while, the leading Dragonborn general led a team of guards and flew over slowly. He said, "Listen, people on the other side. We are about to requisition this area. If you don't want to die, open the fortress gate immediately. We will take over this place soon."
On the towering fortress wall, a young human man slowly walked to the front and responded calmly: "Let's stop joking here. What if I say no?"
