Chapter 470 Blood Swamp Trampler

0507 Blood Swamp Trampler

"How could this be? How is this possible..."

Magog murmured in despair. He really couldn't understand why the famous boarman legion - [Blood Swamp Tramplers] did not appear in front of the center to stop Thor, to stop those heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, but appeared on the left wing of their group of only 2500 mercenaries!
Is it an unexpected coincidence? Or is it a deliberate arrangement?

If it was a deliberate arrangement, then Mago would dare to conclude that today's battle would be a suspenseful one and that he would most likely lose.

Because the opponent used cannon fodder wild boars to tie down the most elite center led by Thor, and instead used the trump card to deal with their left wing with the smallest number of people and the weakest strength.

And the opponent's caution can be seen from a very small detail. Due to Thor's distribution, the five arrow-head-shaped army formations had a clear order of sequence. That is to say, from the early morning fighting to 2 pm, the left wing composed of mercenaries led by Mag and the right wing led by Thorinsi fought with the orc army for less than 3 hours.

The opponent did not directly play out their trump cards just because there were fewer people on the left and right wings.

He still let the cannon fodder consume more than 2 hours before choosing to let the ace legion Blood Swamp Tramplers attack!
This is like an adult arm wrestling with a child. The adult hides the fact that he is left-handed, and is extremely cunning, using all his strength right from the start, without the slightest bit of slackness or contempt.

In Magog's opinion, this boarman leader's caution and strategy in deploying troops surpassed almost all the human generals he had ever seen!
How could he not feel deeply desperate? !
"Kill!! Kill!! Kill!!"

Rows of boarmen in distinctive armor waved their weapons, pounded their shields hard, and roared as they charged towards the mercenaries who were already exhausted. The result was naturally self-evident.

The mercenaries on the left wing almost collapsed at the first blow. These wild boarmen, who were about 2 meters tall on average, were wearing armor and had huge weapons that were terrifying. The oppression they brought was desperate and suffocating! Not to mention those spears that looked like they were made of bones, even a shield collision would often knock the mercenaries out and knock them unconscious!

What followed was a one-sided massacre!

puff!puff!puff!

The surroundings were filled with the muffled sound of spears piercing flesh, like the sound of rotten leather. The round-faced and bearded Dexi was stabbed in the lower abdomen with such great force that the force came out from his tailbone. The so-called first-level enchanted armor was like paper under the wild boar man's sharp spear. The blood on the tip of the spear was bright red, gushing down from the tip of the spear like a small spring, and gathered in the bright red mud on the ground.

"Go! Go quickly! Boss..."

Dexi screamed in despair, tears streaming down his eyelids. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even hold the knife. He grasped the spear in front of his lower abdomen with both hands, trying with all his strength to hold the opponent's spear in place, hoping to live a few more minutes.

These are all subconscious instincts of the body for survival, not actions taken after rational thinking of the mind.

"Roar!"

The boarman soldier roared, and swung out with the shield in his left hand, while pulling back with his right hand, and with a bang, Dexi was knocked out from the spear!

Dexi, who weighed more than 200 pounds with his armor on, was as light as a dead leaf at this moment, floating in the air. Wherever he passed, blood dripped from the sky like bloody rain.

escape!Run away!
This was the only thought left in Mag's mind! He forgot all about titles, honors, comrades, and merit points. He only had the instinct to turn around and run away when in danger! At this moment, his courage was completely broken!

But he was not the only one who wanted to escape. The entire mercenary group was defeated. The Blood Swamp Tramplers charged and killed nearly 2 mercenaries! In addition to those killed by the goblins before and those who were trampled to death in the chaos, at least 3 to 400 people died, not counting the injured. In other words, in just 3 hours, the casualties of the left wing mercenaries were as high as 20%!

Such a high casualty ratio is even more terrifying than the center led by Thor!
But the center led by Thor had been fighting for a full eight hours from early morning till now! The casualty ratio was only about 8%!

This is a mercenary!
No matter how strong an individual is, facing the crushing force of real war, he will be as fragile as an ant!
The leader of the Blood Swamp Tramplers was a wild boar named Bu Yu. He held his weapon high and looked at the fleeing mercenaries in front of him. His eyes in his helmet were filled with disdain. "Change the formation, attack the left wing! Kill!"

These words made Mag, who was desperately fleeing, tremble all over. It turned out that the target of the Blood Swamp Tramplers Legion had never been this group of rabble, but the left wing of the Eagle Army!

Once the left wing collapses, the center led by Thor will be helpless and trapped in the danger of being attacked from both front and back!

Whether it is humans or orcs, a legion has about 5000 people. Thor's center has only 6000 people in total. Up to now, at least 1000 people have been lost due to death and injuries. These 5000 elite boar legions are enough to kill Thor's center directly from the rear!

Although the other party's voice was very rough, Mager still recognized that the boarman leader who gave the order was actually a woman. Their real target was not the mercenaries on the left wing at all, so after the mercenaries were defeated, they did not waste time to kill them all, but attacked the left wing without stopping.

"Great God of Life - Mother of Pure Black, you are a cloud-like existence. You are in charge of the life and reproduction of all things. The folds under your skirt contain the collapsed Milky Way, and the nothingness in your milk nourishes the rotten stars - I pray for your divine power here to grant the most courageous strength to us, a group of forgotten fang warriors!"

"Fire!!!"

In the center of the Blood Swamp Tramplers' army, there is a small mobile platform hidden. On the platform, a wild boar man covered with tattoos is jumping and dancing naked on it. His fist-sized penis is swinging back and forth like a withered dead snake, and he keeps shouting something loudly. As he shouts, his whole body is rapidly aging. His hair grows longer and then turns white quickly. His strong body is also quickly becoming withered and old. His straight back slowly bends down, and his voice begins to become old and hoarse, weak. The originally abstract concept of "time" is visibly materialized in this wild boar man's body, until he roars out the last word of fire, and then dies, falling on the platform.

boom!
With the death of the Wild Boar Shaman, all the Wild Boarmen's weapons in the Blood Swamp Tramplers burst into black and green flames. These were not ordinary flames, but the legendary "Corrupted Fire". Once contaminated, even the soul would be burned and sacrificed to the Mother of Pure Black!
"Wooga——"

The boar army roared in unison, and then rushed towards the Eagle Army on the left wing. The Eagle Army of 4500 men on the left wing was still completely unaware! They had been fighting from noon to now, for almost six hours, and were already exhausted. They never thought that their left wing would collapse so quickly, leaving the gate wide open. These ace boar army, who had been gathering their strength, were able to enter an empty space for a while!

Even if the Eagle Army on the outer edge could react, once they turned around to fight with the Blood Swamp Tramplers on the side, the left wing of the army would naturally collapse!
However, this is not the worst. The worst thing is that after the collapse, most of those damn mercenaries began to attack the left wing of the army. They wanted to hide behind the Eagle Army to get shelter and safety, so as to save their own lives!

The one leading the left wing army was none other than Hervey, whose beard was thicker than his hair. When he learned the news of the collapse of the left wing army behind him, nearly a thousand soldiers of the Eagle Army behind the left wing had been slaughtered. "What? Say that again?!" Hervey's eyes were as big as copper bells, and the beard on his face stood up like a cat with its fur blown off, and he roared like thunder!

"Blood Swamp Tramplers! It's the elite Blood Swamp Tramplers of the Wild Boar!"

Following Hervey were Thor's retainers George and Henry. These two were too weak, and it was their first time going out with the Eagle Army, so Thor did not bring them with him. Instead, he handed them over to Hervey to lead the left wing of the army. The one who spoke at this moment was George, the captain of ten men.

George's voice was already a little panicked, "Sir, let's go inform Lord Thor quickly, otherwise once the left wing collapses, the center will be outflanked! Tell Lord Thor not to charge!"

"shut up!"

A loud shout burst out from Hervey's mouth, shocking George so much that he dared not say a word anymore. "You hold on here, I'll go over and take a look!" Hervey said, pointing to the front.

The reason why the charge mission could be entrusted to George with confidence was, firstly, because he was following Thor's center and there was almost no resistance on the left and right wings; secondly, there were only cannon fodder wild boarmen in front of him and he didn't need to command them much, so George could handle it.

Hervey is 29 years old this year. He is older than Thor. He was the first wave of refugees who followed the Slater family's special envoy Eberron to Eagle Town. It was also the time when the Death Hand Cult launched the attack. Hervey was still very young at that time. Time flies, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. At that time, Lord Earl Raven had just led his army to conquer the Bloody Highlands and defeated the rampant and arrogant horse thief leader Heleti. Although the might and victory of Lord Raven, who was still a baron, were being publicized everywhere at that time, the clever Hervey could still feel something unusual, because almost every family in Eagle Town had relatives who had died, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower for the Eagle Army. It was under such a coincidence that Hervey was lucky enough to join the Eagle Army when he was a teenager!

Along the way, he has gradually come to the fore. With the improvement of his strength and status, Hervey later learned more secrets. It turned out that Anderson, the horse thief who invaded Eagle Castle that year, was Helaiti's subordinate. That's why Lord Raven was determined to attack the Bloody Highlands first and kill Helaiti with his own hands!

It also made Hervey understand that Lord Raven's generosity and kindness were only superficial. In fact, he was an extremely vengeful person and would never let go of any grudge.

Logically speaking, a standard foreign refugee like Hervey should have been assigned to an out-of-town group. But one time, Thor came to the military camp to look for Eric but couldn't find him, so he found him. The two were of similar age and soon peed in the same pot. It turned out that Thor had lost the fight with Visdon, so he came to seek revenge on his father. Needless to say, there was no need to say more about what happened after that. Naturally, Hervey came forward and gave Visdon a severe lesson. The fat boy knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. At that time, Visdon threatened to complain to his mother, but Hervey was so scared that he peed his pants. He was in a daze and didn't sleep well for a month. But I don't know whether Visdon didn't complain after he went back or Denise didn't care after he complained. Anyway, the matter was finally left unresolved.

Thor is a man who loves to be servile. There is no one in the second generation who hasn't been fought by him, including Hoyaz, Vesdon, Banks, Lennon, and Simon...

Even including Gower and White, but these two have already sacrificed their lives.

Every time he would ask Hervey to help him get back his face, and he would reward him with some delicious food, such as gray rock rat soup. Of course, not every time it went smoothly, like the time when Goyle beat Hervey so hard that even his shoes ran away, and Thor was even worse, as he was slapped more than a dozen times by Eric. Based on this, Hervey and Thor developed a deep relationship, which led to them becoming the second generation of local factions.

So Hervey knew Thor's bad temper too well. If the collapse of the left wing really led to a great defeat, then Thor would definitely settle the score with him, and might even fight with him before giving up.

When Hervey came to the rear, the entire left wing had been completely destroyed. Everywhere were Eagle Army soldiers who were corroded by the corrupt fire and in agony. They rolled on the ground, wailing... unable to live or die, such an extremely humiliating scene made Hervey's eyes redden.

"These Trench mercenaries! Damn bastards!"

He Wei raised the Sohei Blade and shot a mercenary who was rushing towards the left wing of the army to death. He shouted heartbreakingly: "Kill! All mercenaries who dare to attack the army will be killed!"

In fact, there were quite a few Eagle Army's generals among this group of mercenaries, but when the morale of the people collapsed, they chose to fight against this group of elite boarmen legions, using their lives to buy time for their comrades on the left wing, and all died under the iron hooves of the Blood Swamp Tramplers Legion!
The effect of Hervey's arrival was immediate. The collapse of the left wing of the army came to an abrupt end. This group of leaderless soldiers immediately found a backbone. Without Hervey's command, they quickly formed small plum blossom formations. Hervey rushed out first, and the fighting spirit on his body rose to the sky like the blue sea. "Griffith, you would rather die than surrender!" Hervey roared heartbreakingly. After rushing into the boarman army, the Sohei Blade in his hand spun around, and the combat skill [Crescent Moon Wind Stab] was instantly activated. The Sohei Blade in his hand suddenly turned into six phantoms, which directly stabbed to death all the boarmen who were surrounding him!
And all this happened in just a blink of an eye!
Such a horrifying scene not only shocked the wild boars of the Blood Swamp Tramplers, but also the Eagle Army soldiers on the left wing. The morale of the soldiers instantly rose.

The female leader of the Blood Swamp Tramplers, the boarman Bu Yu, was even more horrified!
