Warhammer: Return of the Dragon

Chapter 539 stalemate
"General, you must retreat, the flank of Fifth Street has been breached by vampires, and your command is needed!"

The captain of the guard loudly reminded the generals who were still fighting that in order to ensure the fighting will of the Patriotic Army, the veterans lead the recruits. There is no so-called supervisory team, only the resolute faces that stand in front of the young people without fear of death. .

As a general, Raskol undoubtedly fulfilled the role of boosting morale, and was often the first to step into the battlefield and the last to come out.

Under the cover of the guards, the general withdrew from the front line. He didn't care about the bone fragments and dirt and blood all over his body. He took a sip from the water bottle and asked questions immediately.

"The situation on Fifth Street."

"The vampire cavalry army led by the blood knight broke through the flank, but under the command of Kochak, the front line was regrouped. We lacked the maneuverability to pursue the departing vampire cavalry."

"Damn it." The general cursed angrily. Originally, he had already contacted a squad leader of the hussars, backstabbed the vampire army at a critical moment, and joined the National Guard Army as a mobile force.

But for some reason, the captain of the hussars suddenly lost contact, as if he had evaporated from the world.

The consequence of this is that a victorious battle has fallen into a stalemate, leaving the National Guards extremely lacking in counter-maneuvering means. The best way to fight against cavalry is always to use cavalry to fight, rather than standing still and waiting to charge. This has lost the initiative tactically.

"Where are the flame-born knights and the giant horned vipers?"

"They are fighting with the Strigg vampires, and they can't divide their troops to support them."

Damn, these dawdling elves.The general cursed angrily in his heart. If he guessed right, the Flame Knights would definitely be useless. During the Snake Crusade, the Royal Guard relied on 60 people to forcefully pass through the Ratmen's position.

With the support of thousands of soldiers from the giant horned viper, it is impossible to fight the brainless strig vampire for a long time.

The general gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers on the front line. The artillery was almost useless, and the bullets carried by each person had been exhausted. The battle started in the middle of the night and continued until noon. Thousands of people died here, but it is still difficult to see the undead. The army is in decline.

He only has [-] usable soldiers, most of whom have received militia training and have low combat effectiveness. The two sides have been fighting fiercely around No. [-] Street, which leads directly to the center, for half a month, and they need some time to buffer and recuperate.

"Let the Second Speed ​​Drop Corps go to Fifth Street to support and cover the retreat of the remnant soldiers. We need to rebuild the line of defense."

"Yes." The captain of the guard expressed his understanding that the downhill corps is one of the few mobile forces of the National Guard Army. A group of soldiers who can only ride horses but don't know how to ride and fight are sent here. location, and then dismounted to fight.

More than a dozen huge tomb ghosts and the barren grave guards are attacking. The leader of the zombie king is wantonly slaughtering young people who lack training. The evil magic provides countless blessings for the undead, making the sky that should have been clear, Turned cloudy gray.

"Detonate the explosives and retreat!"

The engineer ignited the fuze, and the explosives that had been ambushed in advance exploded suddenly. The ground trembled under the power, and the attack route of the undead appeared faulty.

After the veterans worked together to kill the broken tomb ghosts and corpse monster king with their long halberds, they began to command the young people to retreat. Years of hard work had made them incredibly strong. Even after a day of bloody battles, they could still maintain sufficient energy. energy.

The living in several positions began to evacuate towards the rear in an orderly manner. For the city, every meter advanced was a huge price, and the two sides had enough time to arrange the defense zone seamlessly.

The vampires who wanted to chase suddenly found that the shells that had already misfired appeared again, and a large number of spiked stakes and repelling horses were pushed out, and the guns and ammunition transported by the logistics soldiers returned the firepower to the previous state.

This made them retreat, because the time for the decisive battle had not yet arrived.

The bloody general led the guards into the Joint Headquarters without saying a word. Anger welled up in his heart, and he questioned his original boss, Masnow,

"What's your idea? The giant horned viper is enough to deal with the Stryker vampires. I need the flame knights to deal with the enemy's mobile forces, especially the blood knights. The National Guard can't set up a defense line for the advancing position in a short time! "

Masnow stopped Creon, who was about to beat someone up. Caledo was indeed showing weakness on his own initiative, but it was impossible to say that it was his own responsibility.

"You don't have enough strength to control the city. If the Flame Knights defeat the Stryg vampire, Caledor's manpower is not enough to control the civilian area to the west, and he will fall into an entanglement with the enemy."

"But that's not the reason why the flame knights don't support them. You must have hidden some information and wait for an opportunity to make a move." The general looked at the champion warrior coldly. He felt some problems, and Caledo had ample supply of supplies.

But in human hands, since the flame knight arrived here a month ago, there has been no support, which is completely inconsistent with his previous situation in the advance team.

Even if the supply line is blocked by the Pestilen clan, Caledo still has a way to deliver the supplies to the advance team. The difficulty of connecting Chapeiyuto and Oxo is much higher than that of Erengrad, and it is impossible to add extra manpower now. nothing.

"The Silver Hammer and the Moorish Knights will arrive at the port in two days. They will serve as the mobile force of the Patriotic Army." Masno patiently explained that Davian is waiting for the arrival of the Caledor fleet in Marienburg. No matter how fast the world reaches the old world, it will still take half a month.

The Prince's idea is to kill Manfred and Arkhan, but if the Book of Nagash is not delivered to his hands, the cunning bald vampire will never be dispatched, and the Flame Knight's weakness is just waiting for him. a surprise.

"You didn't answer my question. According to the previous agreement between the two parties, Caledon will provide support, not only in terms of supplies and combat power, but also information about vampires that needs to be shared."

Now Creon just wants to do one thing, to give a harsh lesson to Laskel, who has a wrong tone. He dared to put the Patriotic Army in the same position as Caledor, and his tone was full of doubts.

"Perhaps I should let you understand what respect is." Creon squeezed the lapis lazuli long-handled hammer tightly, and the eyes covered by the golden dragon wing helmet became murderous, which made the flame-born knight behind him involuntarily think Do this with the captain.

As the veterans of the general's guard, they knew very well that this group of knights in golden dragon armor had no room to resist in a command room of only [-] square meters, but they still insisted on looking at them with their hands on the handles of their swords.
