Broad World

Chapter 433: War Comes

"On War" has a famous saying: the continuation of the politics of war history. ?. .

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" once said: The Lord can't be angry and start an army, and the general can't be angry and go to war.

These two sentences are to say that we should try our best to keep rational in war, and don't ignore the consequences because of momentary anger. Although it sounds reasonable, in fact, few actually do it. Take the Second World War as an example, there are too many examples of brain hyperemia regardless of casualties and deadly clashes with each other. You must know that this time has entered the modern age, and "On War" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War" have long been known to most high-level officials, which shows that intelligent life cannot really control their emotions at all.

However, all of the above are theories that were born on the earth without supernatural power, and it is simply a joke for the Faerun continent, which is full of terrifying monsters and supernatural power. You must know that almost all the wars here are launched by gods, various powerful and evil monsters, careerists, etc. Most of the time, they are not for profit, but just want to vent their anger for themselves or kill an enemy.

It can be said that the whole world is a playground for many powerful people. They can launch wars at any time according to their mood, while the army and civilians are just chess pieces that can be discarded at any time, and they don't care too much about how many high-ranking people die. It is precisely because of this that many times the commander will rush forward even if he knows he will fail, and hit him head-on. Because obeying orders is nothing more than death, but if you anger the master behind you, then even death may be a luxury. In the evening, the turquoise waters of Angomey Islands reflected the faint afterglow of the setting sun, and a large group of sahuagin were slowly heading towards Hart Island on the bottom of the sea. They thought their movements were very stealthy, and they didn't even notice the soldiers on the shore who were quietly setting up their defenses. At the suggestion of Shi Kodi, the tutors and students in the academy area also joined in, especially those bards sang magical songs, which greatly boosted morale and dispelled the fear of the unknown.

Debra touched Vaughan, who was lying on her shoulder, next to Mowen: "Do you think these soldiers who have never seen blood are reliable? Will they be washed away by the murlocs coming up in a while?"

"Don't worry. When the battle starts, I will let the barbarians stand at the front first, and then send these recruits up one by one, so that the veterans and the recruits can mature quickly." The half-orc warrior stretched out a stick finger. I want to tease the "deformed cat pet", but this big black cat obviously doesn't like it. The moment the finger was about to touch it, it immediately turned into a hedgehog. Looking at the vigilant eyes of "Deformed Cat Pet", Vaughn could only smile wryly and shook his head. "Well, maybe it remembers the time I was going to stew it, what a vengeful little thing."

While the two were chatting, suddenly a soldier shouted, "Look! What is that?"

Following the direction of his finger, water ripples appeared on the distant sea surface. The area is beyond imagination. Debra sneered and said to the half-orc warriors: "They are coming. You'd better get these rookies ready. I need to go back to the mage's tower to inform the master first."

Vaughan nodded slightly, and immediately turned around and shouted at everyone: "Enemy attack! All troops are in position! Bow and crossbow are stringed. Ready to fight at any time."…

After the order was issued, there were bursts of "creaking" sounds, and the defensive crossbows were pulled away one after another, and arrows thicker than arms were placed on the grooves. The soldiers on the arrow tower and the city wall also raised their crossbows one after another, and the nervous anger before the battle quickly spread to everyone.

When Brewinter City was built, Henry considered the issue of port defense, so he built two semi-curved walls, which tightly protected the pier area like two arms, and anyone who wanted to enter Ships have to go through a channel that is not spacious. This also meant that the sahuagin had to withstand the rain of arrows, kerosene, and magic attacks before rushing to the shore. Only God knows how many of them will be able to rush over in the end.

Soon a guy with a shark's head popped out of the water, followed by a large area, and within a minute, the entire bay was covered with an army of murlocs. The number of them startled the soldiers on the city wall, and many of them were trembling in their hands and feet. Although they are already well-trained veterans, this is the first time they have actually participated in a war.

Seeing the performance of the human soldiers, Vaughn couldn't help shaking his head. Fortunately, the barbarian guards were placed on the front line of the pier, otherwise it would be impossible for these guys to defend. Thinking of this, he told an officer beside him: "I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the shore to command the first-line troops. Remember, try to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible, and don't let them charge too much at once."

"Understood!" The young officer nodded excitedly and replied.

After setting everything up, Vaughan quickly left the city wall and returned to the temporary fortifications built at the pier. The atmosphere here is obviously different from that on the city wall. The young barbarians are gearing up and waiting for the arrival of the enemy. For them, war means supreme honor, and there is nothing more exciting for these strong men than beheading the head of a powerful enemy.

As for death, would Tempus fighters who believed in the God of War be afraid of death? I'm afraid that people in the entire Faerun continent will think this is a joke. These guys are a group of combat lunatics, wherever there is war, they will appear, they don't care about their own life and death, they only want to win the final victory.

The sahuagin's swimming speed was very fast, and it didn't take long before they approached the city wall. Following the officer's order, countless arrows and ballistas began to shoot, buckets of kerosene were also poured into the sea, and then a torch was thrown out, and a large sea of ​​flames immediately appeared on the sea.

However, the fire did not hinder the footsteps of these ocean overlords. The experienced Jacques Houas immediately ordered the priest to start blessing the "flame protection", and then ordered these soldiers who were temporarily immune to fire damage to push the fire oil to the sides, so that a not-so-wide passage was exposed in the middle.

"Warriors! For the glory of the great Sekora! I order you to charge now! Kill everything in sight!" Jachouas shouted at all the murlocs. He is very clear that this operation is absolutely success or success. So there is no room for retreat.

After getting the order. Countless murlocs frantically rushed towards the shore, not even the countless ballistas and arrows could stop them at all. After all, the scales on these guys can play a very good protective effect. Even if most ordinary arrows are shot, it is difficult to kill them. Only the ballista is the real big killer. Every shot can kill two or three enemies directly. run through.

Looking at the surging enemies, Vaughan pulled out the two-handed giant sword behind him and sang the ancient battle song of the barbarians to meet them. The murloc who rushed to the front was cut off by the sharp magic weapon before he even had time to react. Immediately afterwards, the guys who followed were also killed one after another. In less than a minute, forty or fifty corpses fell on the beach. No one could rush past the half-orc warrior, and the flaming "giant slayer" seemed to be warning all enemies not to act rashly.

The blood and killing accelerated the secretion of adrenaline, and Vaughn felt his nerves start to get excited. After killing another enemy, he couldn't help but opened his mouth and let out a roar.

"ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Jacques Houas, who was hiding in the rear, heard the voice. There was a serious expression on his face. As a legendary warrior, he knew very well what this roar meant. There is a mighty warrior among the enemies, and he is about to break through the last threshold into legend.

To know this is not good news. Legendary warriors are like a meat grinder in warfare, capable of killing an army by a single man. They have steel-like muscles and bones, and they will not get tired for days and nights. If there are no opponents of the same level to restrain them, I am afraid that even if everyone is dead, they will not be able to achieve their goals.

Think about it. Jacques Houas gritted his teeth. to be honest. He would not have thought of going ashore at all if he could. After all, it's one thing to let your men take risks. Your own life is another matter. Especially the power of the legendary magic last time is still vivid, what if the enemy has similar means.

However, the current situation was really bad. The murlocs who rushed to the beach couldn't break through the line of defense at all, but were killed back into the sea by the barbarians led by Vaughn. Jacques Houas knew that he couldn't continue like this, otherwise the whole line might collapse in a while. He took a deep breath, and led the last elite to attack without hesitation.

The murloc mage and priest began to chant incantations one after another, and the human soldiers on the city wall were caught off guard and fell to the ground with injuries. Suddenly, the number of arrows shot was greatly reduced. Taking advantage of this opportunity, all the sahuagin rushed to the shore one after another, and suppressed the barbarians back by virtue of their numbers.

Jacques Houas and Vaughn quickly found each other in hand-to-hand combat, and at the same time they collided hard. As the battle between the two became more and more intense, a vacuum gradually emptied around the battlefield. Because they are all extremely powerful fighters, out of respect, no one will bother them until the winner is decided.

Borken, who is far away in the mage tower, is paying close attention to the situation in the field, and ordered the mage tower to be ready, ready to use energy reserves for magic support at any time. At this moment, Debra broke in suddenly. As soon as she entered the door, she asked loudly, "Has the news been sent out?"

"Yes. Now that you're back, hurry up and make preparations. I'm going to lead the mage group to set off now, and the control here will be handed over to you." Borken stood up and was about to leave. As an Arcanist during the Netherese period, he was better at commanding mages in battle than anyone else.

A few minutes later, an airship full of mages and warlocks began to lift off slowly, heading towards the battlefield. It can be said that this is the first time that spell casters have been used on a large scale in Henry's territory. Although many levels are not high, they are not weak at all in terms of lethality with sufficient scroll reserves. )
