Blood tax

Chapter 455 These potatoes, the combat team, where should their commander be?
The battlefield fell into a suffocating silence, and the vortex of the void even swallowed the wailing.

The combination of the mythical creatures Earth-burrowing Worm and Chaos Beast had just broken through the defense line of Byelan's left wing, and was wiped out by the earth-shattering blow of the Transcendent.Even hundreds of rebel forwards were reduced to flesh in the red arc web.

The offensive of the rebels was strangled.They must have paid a huge price for absorbing these monster armies, but they were instantly destroyed by Byelan's transcendent.With the loss of such a highly mobile and high-lethal force, the already tilted balance of the battlefield was shaken again.

Nona and Kulala are teleported to the low hill where Ophelia is.Under their feet, the black earth was watered by sorrow, and bloody flowers bloomed everywhere.

This blow even moved Professor Hasso Eckard.He looked at his students with apprehension, and ordered again:

"Extraordinary, fight back and drive these mobs away from here!"

Without the help of mythical creatures and armies of monsters, the rebel army was once again reduced to an army of mortals who could hardly stand against the extraordinary.The Byelan Extraordinary who had just retreated regrouped and charged back towards the chaotic enemy army.

In the back and forth just now, both the rebel offensive and Bayeran's infantry formation suffered huge losses and fell into irreparable chaos.In this case, only a few Beyonders who have mastered psychic communication still retain their degree of organization.

As soon as they received the order, they formed up in twos and threes and turned around to hunt down the scattered rebels.These heavily equipped Extraordinary charged forward like scythe chariots, crushing the chaotic rebel soldiers under their iron hoofs.

"Wait, wait a minute," Ophelia covered her eyes and shouted out of breath, "Retreat now and abandon the baggage. Gather all the Extraordinary to break through, and no more infantry."

"Ok?"

The members of the headquarters present were all taken aback.They were still immersed in the awe brought by Ophelia's powerful psychic powers, and they were thinking about how to praise her, but they didn't expect that she would propose such a suggestion of abandoning the army and absconding, which would be enough to discredit everyone.

"Ridiculous." The professor snapped.

The enemy's army of monsters had just been wiped out, and the main force of Byelan's army was intact, as well as powerful Beyonders and Transcendent wizards in complete condition.With such an advantage, it is completely unreasonable to retreat in the ravine to avoid farmers and herdsmen with pitchforks.

Ophelia argued: "Our infantry on the left has lost its organization, and rushing the uncovered Beyonders into melee will greatly increase their danger.

"Moreover, until now, the mobility and deployment of the rebel army have far exceeded our expectations. The earth burrower may not be their last resort. If there are some official Beyonders joining them there……"

Berthier, Nona and the others were shocked.They had been in the battle at Reed Manor and knew what Ophelia was talking about.

"Who joined them?" asked the professor coldly. "Attention, young girl, this is a very serious accusation. Present your evidence."

"Perhaps, the kingslayer's former minion is understanding us with her lord and her own loyalty!" The fellow nobles also sarcastically said.

The people in command are arguing.The Extraordinary on the front line has penetrated deep into the heart of the rebel right wing.

Especially after Viscount Varian who came from the middle joined the battle, he was even more powerful.

These knights and Beyonders rode their horses through the rout on the front line, and came to a position thirty yards in front of the rebels' second tier of gun formation.The group of musketeers beside the gun formation hastily raised their guns to take aim, ready to shoot and drive away these Extraordinary beings.

Viscount Varian, who led the team, waved his hand and took an iron bow as if by magic.He also did not dismount, and took a heavy arrow from the quiver, which was comparable to throwing a gun, and shot it at the musketeer.The flying arrow pierced through the air and hit the face of a rebel soldier.Before he fell down, Viscount Varian bent his bow and set his arrow again, and it was another powerful shot.

The Viscount fired three rounds in a row in a few seconds, and the musketeers in the first two rows were wiped out by him.The musketeers behind were anxiously loading projectiles into the barrel, and before they could launch an attack, another group of heavy knights rushed forward.

"Pike attack!"

The rebel commander shouted his orders.The spears stabbed densely, hitting the shield and heavy armor of the armored cavalry with a loud noise.

At the moment when both sides were suffocated at the same time, Byelan's knights flashed through the gap in the gun forest.Viscount Varian took the lead, drew his sword in his hand and chopped towards the dense crowd.

With just a chop and pick, the Viscount removed an arm from the soldier opposite him.

He turned around and heard a muffled sound coming from him.The dense spears stabbed at him, knocked on his shield and slid away together, unable to even penetrate the armor.The Viscount sneered, and immediately swung his sword horizontally, cutting off two heads from the crowd besieging him.

In the blink of an eye, the Extraordinary who rushed into the spear array was like a hot knife cutting through butter, and the blood of the killed rebel soldiers flowed into rivers.Relying on their heavy armor, they forcibly shook the siege dozens of times.

The spearmen who were attacked lumberingly counterattacked, and retreated steadily after being beaten by a few enemies.They couldn't poke the knight's heavy armor, and many of them dropped their spears, picked up the broken spear heads and daggers on the ground, and rushed towards the gaps in the armor.

After fighting for an unknown amount of time, Viscount Varian tore off a soldier hanging from his shoulders and fell to the ground, breaking his neck with one foot.Immediately another group of rebels held up strange branch-shaped halberds and nailed the Viscount's ankles to the ground.

The viscount only felt his throat burning like a fire, and the sweat dripped down his neck into the breastplate like a stream.The Extraordinary people near him also had their chests heaving violently, and they opened their mouths wide to breathe heavily.They don't know how many rebels they killed, but the enemies in front of them just don't decrease!
The strict and cumbersome gun formations are gone, replaced by the flexible squads in the pre-war reports.

"Command! Command!" the Viscount shouted in the echo crystal, "Come and support us!"

"They're everywhere!"

"Reinforcement, where is the reinforcement?!"

Professor Hasso Eckard on the high ground also saw the situation on the front line.A large group of rebels pierced through the frontal battlefield, defeated the oncoming Bayeran army, and bit the legionaries who were going to support the left wing.

Those Extraordinary who urgently needed support no longer had Byelan's infantry around them.They are surrounded by enemies from all directions.

These new troops are completely different from the pike phalanx and are very flexible.They use a combination of long-handled weapons, sword shields, long spears, and muskets, and a few groups can suppress an official Beyonder.

"Professor, the rebels are everywhere!" Berthier shouted nervously.

……

"Byelan's extraordinary wizards are about to attack," Xia Boyang, the commander of the rebel army, whispered to himself, "After being attacked by the rebels, they fell behind everywhere, and gradually put their reserve forces of Extraordinary and Extraordinary into the battlefield.

"With the experience of previous wars, high-ranking wizards dare not expose themselves to the battlefield. They are the rulers of the world, learned wise men, and masters of the mysterious order.

"However, what should you do if the war situation has developed to this point?"

"What are you talking about, Commander?" asked the officers and staff.

As dusk approaches, the two sides on the battlefield are at a stalemate.Xia Boyang and his officers and staff were preparing to have dinner.A frail shepherdess girl came with a large basket of potatoes and scattered them on the tablecloth.

"Dinner is ready, Comrade Xia Boyang."

The commander of the rebel army thoughtfully pointed to a large pile of small potatoes, looked at his companions, and then asked the little shepherdess:
"Look, these potatoes, the battalion,
"Where is their commander supposed to be?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looked at him dumbfounded, and then at Tudou:

"Commander of potatoes?"

……

The extraordinary wizard Professor Hasso Eckard appeared.

Most of the Beyonders in Berthier's column were encircled by his counterattack order just now.If they were left here, the extraordinary wizard would no longer be able to hold his head up in the social arena.

"These thieves," the professor scolded angrily, "have played so many tricks. Now, the final order of Byelan, the mystics of the mysterious world will come to teach you the truth of the world with their own hands."

He covered himself with layers of shields, and rushed to support Viscount Varian under the cover of the last Extraordinary group, Nona and Kulala.Berthier and Dedius are also ready to fuse.

"Professor, I have a bad premonition!" Kulala complained in a low voice, just like in the academy.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, little girl! I've seen through these thieves. They have some tricks, and I don't know where they got the monsters. But the power of mortals has a limit after all!"

The extraordinary wizard roared across the battlefield under the escort of the knight ladies.

He was suspended in mid-air, like a god in a story.He stared angrily and contemptuously at the rebels besieging his Extraordinary.The rebels, who saw his approach, turned hastily and intercepted him with muskets and bows.

Projectiles and arrows hit layers of shields, causing gorgeous ripples.However, the defense of a powerful extraordinary wizard is not something that mortals can easily shake.

Professor Hasso Eckard swung the wand in his hand, and a chain lightning fell from the sky.Landing on the head of a rebel leader charred him, then bounced through the crowd, burning hordes of soldiers to death.

"ignorance.

"Weak!"

The great wizard roared across the battlefield.The powerful airflow even crushed the legs of the wounded soldier who was still struggling and crawling below.He approached the fissure, and was in perfect position to bombard the rebels ahead with a shower of meteorites.

"Humble mortals, in the face of the powerful mystery, can you still have a magic ring to figure out a way to counter my magic shield?!
"All your resistance is useless, huh?"

Not far away, there seemed to be some movement in the deep cracks in the ground.

The corpses of the burrowers were there, and the remains of the Chaos Beasts littered the nearby wilderness.However, just in that deep underground, there seems to be a disturbing and somewhat familiar atmosphere hidden.

"This ripple of psychic energy is the caster?" Professor Hasso Eckard keenly sensed that a force was about to spew out from the ground, and immediately pointed his wand, "Ambush! As a noble caster Those who are in the company of lowly Muggles, come out and let me see your face!"

The Beyonders present all felt this same power.Ophelia even yelled:
"Get out of there, Professor!"

It's too late!
Just when the wand was about to cast a destructive spell, a long fleshy tube flew out from the cracks in the ground, with sharp bone spurs at the tip, and shot straight at the extraordinary wizard, piercing through the fortified shield.

Professor Hasso Eckard screamed.The overwhelming filth and chaos rushed straight into his mind, almost causing his brain to burst.

The curse that was ready to go out suddenly disintegrated, and the endless nothingness replaced the clear will.

"Cut off that tentacle!"

Nona was the first to act.Before her blade could strike, Professor Hasso Eckard turned and threw a bolt of lightning at him.

"boom!"

The Extraordinary guarding the professor was knocked down.Byelan's wizard suddenly became an enemy and began to attack the friendly troops around him frantically.

A gloomy voice echoed underground, piercing my mind:

"Assimilation, complete."
