Section 133 Mutation
The picture clearly shows this completely unilateral battle on the turret. This is actually not even a massacre, but just a lunch. When the beastly vampire rushed to the turret, the fate of the gunners and magicians on the turret was actually decided. The gunners with daggers as melee weapons were OK to deal with small animals like bats, but facing the bloodthirsty beastly vampire, it was simply impossible to say that they could resist. All gunners who did not have time to jump off the turret and escape were killed in a very short time.
The two magicians resisted more or less. Scratched ice fragments were called out from the air and attacked the beast-turned vampire. Under normal circumstances, this magic can greatly impact the enemy's vision and mind, but the beast-turned vampire ignored it and was busy tearing the victim's body and peeling off the victim's muscles from the bones with its huge claws.
Another magician shot out a magic bullet of pure energy from his hand. This time he fell on the body of the beast-turned vampire, leaving a scar. However, the injury is far from fatal. The pain-turned vampire immediately threw down the food in his hand and rushed over, tearing the two magicians into several pieces in a few seconds.
The powerful weapon of war, namely the Wind-Boat gun, is just a ball of scrap iron without an operator. Before the beast-turned vampires eliminate the gunner, the gunners had just completed the filling work and were not yet able to fire.
"How is it, I said, the man I like cannot lose so easily." Yilan said with a leisurely attitude. "Look, the giant sword soldier is about to collapse."
She was telling the truth. Through the picture in the center of the room in front of her, the overall situation of the battlefield can be clearly seen. As they discussed before, the giant sword soldiers were already at a disadvantage in the original battle. If they were not disturbed by any third party, they would eventually collapse as the casualties gradually accumulate. But at present, the participation of the beast-turned vampire immediately changed from "slowly" to "in a blink of an eye".
These giant beasts rushed around the battlefield and were invincible. On the one hand, this is because the beast-turned vampire itself is a group of deadly warriors. On the other hand, it is because the previous attacks of the evil ghosts in the tomb disrupted the formation of the giant sword soldiers, making the battle turn into a melee, which is more conducive to the beast-turned vampire rampage.
The picture magnified again. This time, you can clearly see a beastly vampire biting a victim in the mouth and swaying the miserable body in the air. This scene eventually destroyed the fighting spirit of the nearby giant sword warriors. They began to escape backwards instead of rushing up to the powerful enemy.
On the battlefield, fear is contagious. In fact, in many battles, the great failure that led to the collapse of the entire army may initially be caused by the escape of only a few cowards. When the first person starts to escape, if there is no timely stopping the captain or companion, there will be a second and third followers immediately. They will quickly form a fleeing group in a small range, and use their own actual actions to make those who could have continued to persevere. In the end, all this will become a terrifying wave of the collapse of the morale of the entire army.
"The left wing has collapsed, and the cannon was destroyed before it was taken into effect." Yilan commented. "Although Leto's main force is still very complete, now..."
"It's still very early." Gray-white cloak replied in a unwilling tone. "The Blood Duke has no trump card. Look, no matter how stupid Leto is, he understands that this situation is wrong. The central infantry has divided up several troops, and they have no time to rescue the collapse of the giant sword soldiers, but at least they can protect the flanks of the army from being attacked. Also, look at this side, Leto already understands that he cannot defend on the spot, and the iron-armored knights are ready to charge. Finally, the defeated giant sword soldiers have the opportunity to reorganize and put them into the battlefield... In a word, the current situation can only be said to be evenly matched, and there is no question of who will win or lose."
"Yes, maybe you're right. But remember, before just now, Leto had a clear advantage." Yilan had no intention of arguing at all, but just calmly told a fact.
On the battlefield, Ryan's army had indeed responded. It was hard to tell whether Leto or something else made this decision, but at least the fact that one wing collapsed did not immediately decide the outcome. The central infantry was ready to fight against the enemy's flank encirclement, while the knights on the right wing had begun to drive the war horses and prepare to launch the first wave of assault.
When the left wing collapsed, the Ryan people's right wing had already launched an assault. Ryan's iron armored knights were indeed worthy of the title of elite in the army. They launched a charge from the front, cutting into the zombies like steel knives. This assault fully demonstrated the huge difference in combat power between the two sides. The slow-moving and low-intellectual zombies were pierced, shattered, knocked down by the knights, and trampled by war horses. Just the first wave of assaults cut off a large piece of the zombie group. The knights themselves suffered only minor casualties.
After the impact of the war horses was poured out onto the enemy, the knights dropped their rifles, pulled out their carry-on weapons, and began the second round of hand-to-hand combat. As everyone knows, the undead creatures are just puppets controlled and controlled by black magic. They have no idea of retreating at all, but only know how to attack forward. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that even in the face of such a terrible charge by the armored knight, the zombies still unshakably go forward without wavering, rather than turning around and running like humans. The disadvantage is that because they do not know how to use retreat to avoid the enemy's attack, they suffer much more casualties than human soldiers.
"Damn, what are they doing!" Leto cursed. From an objective perspective, he shouldn't have made this curse, because it was he who had ordered the Knights not to take the initiative to attack before. The Knights had just launched the first round of offensives, and anyone could see that the results achieved by the Knights were amazing.
However, among humans, there are very few people who know how to find mistakes in themselves. Most people will consciously or unconsciously look for reasons in others. Leto's reason for cursing is very simple. The knights were unable to penetrate the zombie formation in the first wave of charge. At this moment, the zombie ghouls and beast-turned vampires who defeated the giant sword soldiers have begun to detour to the army, while those beast-turned vampires rushed directly to the team covering the flanks of the main force under their uncontrollable bloodthirsty impulse. These giant beasts still rushed around in the rigorous formation of sword and shield infantry, killing the sword and shield infantry.
Leto was already a little panicked just now. When the beast-turned vampire rushed over to defeat the giant sword soldier, he almost felt a sense of despair. Fortunately, at this moment, his experienced deputy generals reminded him in time - just as the two spectators watching the battle in a distant place said, at this moment, the Ryans were still very early to be defeated.
One of the two deputy generals volunteered to lead the knights to launch a charge immediately, and the other rushed to the left wing and quickly organized troops to prepare to face the threat from the flanks. Leto unconditionally accepted their opinions without any control. The battle situation quickly developed according to their predictions. Although the beastly vampires were extremely ferocious, in the face of dense formations, they did not tear a gap on the front line like they did before and quickly caused a catastrophic defeat. Although the sword and shield infantry suffered heavy casualties, they defended this critical wave.
Even Leto, who was in a panic state, could see that the battle situation was not that bad. In addition, the ghouls who were chasing the giant sword soldiers were blocked by musketeers and archers, and the defense of some halberd soldiers temporarily drawn, enabled the remaining giant sword soldiers to retreat temporarily instead of being wiped out in the pursuit. All this finally calmed him down. He had not lost yet, at least he was still far from losing.
His hope is that the central infantry can withstand the attack from both sides, and the knights can destroy the zombie group of the gang before the central infantry is defeated. And this seems not particularly difficult at the moment. Just a few squads have already withstood the pressure from the flanks, and the combat power of the skeleton soldiers - to be honest, their real combat power lies in their terrible appearance, rather than the rusty swords in their hands.
Also, in the fierce battle with the giant sword soldiers just now, the mutated ghouls had suffered great losses under the attack of giant swords, magic and muskets. Since the attack of the beast-turned vampire was blocked, the remaining problems would not be too big...
"Your Highness... I remind you to pay attention to one thing." Bernando next to you suddenly said.
"What?"
"So far, it seems that the black magicians under the vampire have not used any magic on a large scale." Bernando was sweating coldly and his face looked a little pale - this is a sign of exhausting energy using magic. "It is impossible for them to do nothing, this is very abnormal. Please be careful."
"Don't you have a magic-breaking scroll?" Leto asked back. After knowing that Bernando was carrying a large number of magic-breaking scrolls, magic has become one of the least issues he needs to consider. The value of the black magician is of course the use of magic, and their magic is ineffective - it is just a matter of consumption of magic-breaking scrolls.
"Although I say so... to be honest, I can always feel the operation of black magic, but I can't see any magic effect. Also, Your Highness, don't you think the fog has not subsided yet, is it abnormal?"
Indeed, it was already morning, and the mist in the morning should have dissipated long ago. But at the moment, the fog was not at all about to dissipate. Not only that, before he knew it, the fog had become significantly thicker, and the field of vision was narrower than before. At this time, in front of Leto, was a staggering river of the dead, and half of the river was hidden in the fog and there was no end at all.
"Did those black magicians do it?" Leto was a little confused. The previous mist was indeed a natural phenomenon, and this has been confirmed. At present, is it necessary to do this? Moreover, Bernando also said before that dispelling the mist requires a lot of energy. I think adding thick fog is definitely not a simple job.
What exactly do vampires want to do?
"Your Highness, although you don't know what tricks the vampire is, you must never relax." Bernando suddenly added. "The most elite undead troops of vampires, those guards of the deserted graves, have not appeared yet."
By the way... the vampire and the elite troops... Leto suddenly felt a terror.
A series of terrifying explosions suddenly sounded. Before Leto could come back to his senses, a shell flew not far away in front of him. Solid shells with terrible power plowed through the dense formation of Ryan warriors, leaving a blood channel full of minced limbs.
What happened? Because all this was so sudden and unacceptable that Leto could only stand there in a daze, watching the shells cause incredible damage in his army. This was not one or two shells, but dozens and hundreds of shells. In other words, this was not ordinary shells, but destructive destruction, a complete destruction.
Then, the vampire's skeleton warrior came over from the front and began to fight with the frightened Ryan infantry.
"What happened?" Leto wanted to ask, but his voice suffocated in his throat and could not say anything.
"Your Highness!" someone behind him shouted in anger. "The vampire sent their gunners to occupy the turret. They turned our cannons to shoot us!"
