my age of magic

Chapter 717 217. The Demise of the Infantry Regiment
In the quiet valley, there is not a single bird or insect, as if this is a silent world.

Above the sky, those gray clouds are like clumps of dirty wool soaked in a pool just cut off, as long as you squeeze it with your hands, water will flow out, the air is humid, and the entire Black Forest is also humid However, the soil on the grassland also contains a lot of water, and when you step on it, there will be traces of water stains on the boots.

The stone wall is covered with light purple moss, and there are small yellow flowers blooming on the moss. The goblins in the underground caves of Xinliu Valley like to eat this kind of moss scones.

The slopes of the valley are covered with light green alfalfa, which makes the whole slope look like a thick green blanket.

This heavy armored infantry team of about 200 people walked out of the plank road and began to send out scouts to explore the way. The exit of the plank road was in the valley. He realized that there was a group of spider warriors lurking in the dense forest on the side slope, but it was obvious that these spider warriors were extra patient, and they didn't rush out.

Several scouts ran out of the camp first. They carried hunting bows, wore long swords on their waists, wore leather armor, and stepped on brisk leather boots. They went in different directions and patrolled like casting nets. Bend down, run fast, and look very alert.

I am somewhat looking forward to those vigilant scouts being able to find clues before entering the dense forest. I want to see how they respond.

But it just happened the opposite, the scout carrying the hunting bow looked as usual, and walked briskly into the dense forest.

Although I haven't seen the scene in the dense forest, I guess that the scout from the heavy armored infantry regiment is absolutely impossible to survive.

The heavy armored infantry regiment sent out scouts to investigate the enemy's situation, and at the same time began to make fire and cook, but they took care of everything in an orderly manner.Some people stood guard, some lit fires for cooking, and some rested in place.Those long halberds were neatly piled up in a conical shape, and those square tower shields stood aside, like a thick wall.

Soon after, the soldiers of these heavy armored infantry regiments began to eat in turn. When a person is full, his spirit will become relaxed and the whole person will look very tired. At this time, a short rest period is needed.

Exactly at this moment, those spider warriors suddenly emerged from the dense forest on the slope in unison. They lined up at the edge of the dense forest. More than [-] spider warriors stood side by side, holding hands together. Holding a black iron spear, pointing the spear point at the heavy armored infantry regiment, the low hiss of the spider warrior was like a wave of sea tide.

The soldiers in charge of guarding not far from the camp didn't even need to issue any warning, the entire heavy armored infantry regiment had clearly seen those spider warriors, they were like a group of barbarians riding black elephants, Amidst the roar, he rushed down from the hillside.

"Attention all battle groups, there is an enemy attack, form the formation!" The herald shouted loudly, perhaps because of nervousness, his voice was a little broken.

The soldiers hurriedly woke up from a state of complete relaxation.

Every Spiderman warrior is a powerful heavy cavalry, so in the valley, under the flat slope, this group of heavy armored infantry has no possibility of escape, their only choice is to form an formation and fight.

The infantry regiment seemed very chaotic at this moment, all the soldiers were looking for their own weapons, but probably they had practiced this defensive formation for a long time, and soon, a circular defensive formation had taken shape, the shield The sword fighters put the tower shield on the outermost edge, like a wall, protecting everyone. On the next level, there are some long halberd warriors. It came out from the gap between the shield and the shield.

The innermost ones are the longbowmen. At this time, under the order of the captain, all of them have drawn their longbows and pointed their long armor-piercing arrows into the air. This kind of parabolic archery skills is the most test for the archers. Ability.

"All archers prepare, let go!"

The sound was firm and full of rhythm, and a rain of arrows diffused from the army formation to the sky, and then drew graceful arcs, raining down on the spider warriors head-on.

The landing points of these armor-piercing bows and arrows are somewhat predictable. Those spider warriors rushing down from the hillside will definitely meet the rain of arrows. If the spider warriors slow down and avoid the rain of arrows, then they will charge The rhythm will be completely interrupted again.

……

"Beautiful shot!"

I was on the mountain and had a panoramic view of all this. I secretly admired the captain of the longbowman and boasted unabashedly.

Kalancuo leaned behind the boulder next to me, snorted softly, and put on a very disdainful look.

……

I thought that when these spider warriors faced the rain of arrows, their charging momentum would slow down, but they did not expect them to form a line, and instead speed up amidst the hissing, rushing towards the heavy armored infantry.

Those long feathered arrows were shot at the spider warriors one after another. Unfortunately, this kind of throwing was not accurate at all. Although the arrows were very powerful, after the armor-piercing arrows pierced the spider warriors, they were shot by the tough The carapaces bounced to the ground one after another, only less than one-tenth of the arrows pierced into the thick carapace of the spider warrior, but they didn't penetrate the flesh.

These armor-piercing arrows are not as sharp as imagined.

Or is the black armor on those spider warriors too solid?I took a guilty look at the steel pipe spears piled up on the side, and I was a little worried about whether they would be able to stab into the spider warrior's body smoothly after being thrown out.

While I was thinking wildly, the second wave of arrow rain arrived as expected.

The distance this time does not need to be projected, those armor-piercing arrows are directly shot over, this time the spiders have already rushed 50 meters away from the infantry regiment, and it only takes a few breaths for these spider warriors to rush to the ground. Go to the front of the army.

The situation of this wave of arrow rain was slightly better. Several spider warriors were shot by the armor-piercing arrows. Arrow's spider warrior didn't stop at all, but maintained a charging formation, launching the first round of charging towards the heavy armored infantry...

……

Looking up at those four-meter-tall spider warriors, first of all, in terms of momentum, the heavy armored infantry was completely suppressed.

Someone in the shield warrior team shouted: "Abandon the sword, hold the shield with both hands, and press the shield with your shoulders, hold it for me!"

In fact, when these spider warriors rushed to the front of the army formation, all the soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment were completely dumbfounded. They probably didn't expect that they were facing such a huge monster.

Afterwards, the black wave gently kissed the reef-like army array on the shore, and the moment the two armies came into contact, there was a sound of exclamation and killing.

When the arm-thick black iron spear pierced the tower shield as thick as a door panel, the tower shield was like a crispy biscuit, instantly shattered.The heavily armored warrior behind the door panel was pierced through the chest by a thick black iron spear before he even had time to draw out the crusader sword at his waist. The four-meter-long black iron spear pierced the heavy armor The fighters directly picked into the air.

The heavy-armored sword-shield warrior opened his eyes wide, as if saying goodbye to this world for the last time. He turned his face to look at the gray sky, his hands tightly holding the black iron spear pierced into his chest, his mouth and nose A mouthful of blood mist was sprayed out, and as the spider warrior swung his strong arm, the heavily armored warrior slammed into the big iron shield beside him, and his limbs fell to the ground limply.

There were many long halberds inserted obliquely on the ground, and when the spider warrior broke into the formation, they pierced into the spider warrior's chest.

The sharp halberd pierced the spider warrior...

If this infantry regiment is facing the barbarians on the ice and snow tundra, then I will probably breathe a sigh of relief at this time. In any case, the barbarians who have pierced their chests cannot survive. Will start a close strangle.

However, now the heavy armored infantry regiment is facing a group of spider warriors whose body structure is completely different from ours. All the internal organs of the spider warrior are not in his chest, but are all hidden in his huge abdomen. The eight spider legs completely protected it.

Although the halberds pierced through the body stabbed the spider warrior, they were not fatal injuries at all.

At this time, the spiderman warrior broke through the shield wall instead. The sharp spider legs were like steel knives full of thorns. When they stepped on the heavy armored infantry, they could easily pierce their armor.

A body weighing several tons can rush into the army formation unscrupulously by virtue of inertia. The spider warriors wield black iron spears and fly away those fighters who tried to resist. These spider warriors are like a group of A hound rushing into a flock of chickens.

……

I didn't expect that these spider warriors lined up in a line, withstood two waves of arrow rain, and rushed in front of the shield warriors in heavy armor without any effort at all.

Some directly pierced the tower shield in front of them with a spear, and flew the shield warrior hiding behind.In some cases, they directly used eight spider legs that were as sharp as knives to trample the shield warrior to the ground.Some directly used their strong bodies and thick armor to directly crash into the army formation, and then began to kill.

The defeat of the heavy armored infantry regiment came so quickly. These two battle groups were completely different from each other. As soon as they came into contact, the heavy armored infantry regiment was smashed to pieces.

I'm thinking that the spider fighters have fully utilized their tactical characteristics of group charge in team battles.

On the other hand, the heavy armored infantry regiment rushed to the battle, and many flexible tactics and some arrangements were not fully utilized, which led to the defeat after a single charge.

……

The soldiers of the heavy armored infantry regiment have lost the will to fight at this moment, the defeat happened first with the shield fighters, and some shield fighters who survived by chance saw the fierce and incomparable spider warriors in the army formation. Killing ring, his heart completely collapsed, and then decisively discarded the huge tower shield in his hand, turned around and ran back.

Then those soldiers with long halberds ran along with them. They saw that the shield warriors were defeated, and they didn't have the courage to fight again.

At this time, those longbowmen were still standing in two rows, shooting the third round of arrows.

However, it was completely unexpected that the shield warriors and halberd warriors standing in front of the formation panicked and fled to the back of the camp. The soldiers who ran backwards rushed towards the archer formation, causing the long archers to give up the fight immediately. , everyone ran back together, ready to rush into the dense forest in the distance, but obviously, that dense forest was a bit too far away for them.

Broken limbs, blood, shattered armor, and discarded weapons form a poignant picture. Those fierce spider warriors, like a meat grinder, harvest life on the battlefield.

On the battlefield, only the three captains were surrounded by some extremely tenacious fighters, and they used their lives to deal with those spider warriors, and the defeated and fleeing fighters also completely dispersed.

……

It's our turn. We originally thought that those heavy armored infantry regiments would last a little longer, and then we sent an orc squad to join the battle group, leading the spider warriors into our ambush circle little by little. Unexpectedly, those heavy armored infantry regiments Under the iron ride of the spider warriors, the warriors are as fragile as paper.

I stood up from the cover, took out the sharp Shura axe, glanced at Qige, and said to her: "Just wait for me here!"

Qige grabbed my sleeve with his backhand, frowned, bit his lips and asked me: "Why do you want to go? We're just going to lure those spider warriors here. You don't run fast. Didn't you mean to go?" Concentrate on meditation and restore the magic power in your body?"

"My mana has almost recovered!" I argued to Qige.

Qige kept silent and just stared at me silently. I couldn't stand her eyes, so I gave up the idea of ​​leading the charge myself and sat down obediently to meditate.

……

In fact, what is lacking in my body is not the magic element, but the power of thunder and lightning slowly accumulated in the "seed of thunder" fused into the shoulder blade. In recent days, I have frequently opened the portal of Xinliu Valley, which consumes a lot of energy in my body. The power of thunder and lightning.

When I sneaked into the mountains in the morning and opened the portal again, the lightning power stored in the "Seed of Thunder" in the shoulder blade was exhausted. Now I want to open the portal again, but I don't know when I will have to wait.

But at this critical juncture, if we can't open the portal and encounter an ambush from spider warriors, our last way of life will be completely blocked by me.

Therefore, the top priority is to recover some lightning power as soon as possible, so that we can escape into the underground cave in an emergency.

However, the thunder element on the Yero plane is very thin, and even during meditation, the progress of condensing the thunder element is very slow.

In the black forest of the Hierro plane, I have experienced several times of hard battles recently. Every time I use the ice wall array, I almost use up the magic power in the magic vortex. This kind of battle is very extreme. The use of magic power often stimulates the speed of the magic vortex. Recently, I found that the capacity of the magic pool in my body is constantly increasing rapidly.

Last night, when I was meditating again, I found that the growth of the magic pool in my body seemed to have reached a critical point, and there were faint signs of advancement.

With a powerful wind magician like Qige in the team, it is natural to enjoy some wind buff magic, so those orcs were blessed with the 'lightness technique', and each of them became as light as a swallow.

Kalantso led ten orc warriors with crossbows on their backs and ran down the mountain quickly. They all jumped back and forth between the boulders very briskly...
