European modulation mode

The ogre herdsmen were also puzzled by this sudden rebellion, but they didn't care. The entire ogre kingdom had returned to the order of the grassland. Since the boss said so, then they would fight. It didn't matter who they fought.

The military music of these Turks was similar to that of the Romans, with war drums, horns, and cymbals. A large number of big and strong men marched forward to the deafening sound of the military music, and charged across the grassland with a speed and agility that was disproportionate to their huge bodies. When Philus saw the ogres moving out, she thought Chagatai was thinking about something. It was okay, he was only delayed for a few seconds, and it was still in time for them to move out.

But the next second, Filus was surprised to find that those tall and bloated ogres were roaring, howling, and smashing towards her wings like a landslide! And Chagatai himself led two thousand elite troops to outflanking and surrounded his legion on all sides!

At the same time, Aenarion stopped pretending. The Third Legion, which was placed on the two wings to prevent the ogre's charge, rushed back to the center for support. The whole company and battalion of noble sons, wearing enchanted armor and holding phoenix halberds, with arcane brilliance flashing all over their bodies, roared and joined the battlefield, replacing the somewhat embarrassed auxiliary soldiers, waving their halberds and fighting these monsters in the central battlefield! One after another, giant dragons roared over the battlefield, spewing boiling dragon flames at the Iron Hand. The White Tower Company turned into arcane cannons, scattered in every corner of the battlefield, and continuously blasted flaming fireballs forward, instantly forcing Filth into a desperate situation!

"Philos! Go home. Your sisters have surrendered to me. Why don't you join them? I have dug out many snake caves in your hometown, the mountains of Laurian, and your mother's stone collection is still quite a bit left. You still have a legion now. If you surrender with courtesy, you will still be the governor and general. The people of Bulgaria can be spared from war, and your Janissary soldiers can also avoid a tragic death. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Amidst thousands of troops, Aenarion rode Indrognir across the battlefield, looking at the giant Gorgon the size of a mountain in the distance, trying to persuade her to surrender.

The giant snake was also confused at this moment. Its attack was blocked, its allies betrayed it, and it was attacked from all sides. I wondered why Aenarion dared to fight a field battle with 30,000 men against 70,000 men. It turned out that Chagatai's mare was tamed by the Romans at the beginning! The capital for building a country by itself, an entire Janissary Legion was directly surrounded and exterminated. It was only a matter of time.

"Firus! Why don't you surrender?! Your legion, your brothers and sisters are being killed and injured every second. The later you surrender, the fewer people you can save!"

Aenarion tried to persuade him again. He really wanted to preserve the Iron Hands Legion. It was too difficult to form a legion of the size of the Janissaries. After the wolf pack of Leman Russ and the Crow Army of Krakus were defeated, it would take at least thirty or forty years to rebuild them. If possible, they should be persuaded to surrender instead of being annihilated.

What's more, the reasons for other legion lords' rebellion were either for power or for status, but her reason was that she wanted to be with her beloved Fulgrim. Even though he was such a big cold-blooded animal, he might be the easiest person to talk to.

Philus's mountain-like body trembled. After all, she was one of the earliest Janissaries. The honor and duty of a soldier made her fight to the last moment and would rather die than surrender.

However, when she looked around, she found that the Janissaries she had worked so hard to nurture as her heirs, and even the old brothers who had followed her throughout the country, were all dying in large numbers at the hands of the Romans and ogres. One by one, the Janissaries collapsed in a pool of blood, wailing in despair, which gradually shook her hard heart.

With no other options left, Filus threw away her sword and hammer in frustration, raised her hands high, and ordered the entire army to

Regiment, surrendered to the Romans.

Chapter 405: Multi-line Operations

After the victory, Aenarion immediately ordered everyone to spread the news, especially to Serbia, to let them know that Chagatai Khan joined Rome, Firus surrendered, Bulgaria, and the grasslands on the south bank of the Danube all belonged to Rome!

This time, the Balkan rebels wanted to use Philus and Chagatai to tie down part of their forces, and then Sanguinius, Leman Russ, Rogue, and Skander would work together with the internal rebels in Serbia to defeat the army seeking help, so that Serbia could successfully become independent and no longer be a province of Rome. This would allow the Balkan chess game to regain vitality and avoid being swallowed up by the Romans.

But they would never have thought that Chagatai had already been their man, and they relied on this to force Philus to surrender with an entire legion at the cost of more than a thousand minor casualties. The effect of containment and division of forces they wanted was just empty talk. Now, the legion that contained the Roman forces has joined Rome and can enter Serbia at any time. This will be a sword hanging over their heads. Aenarion is very curious, in such a desperate situation, what kind of resistance will they make?

But before that, there were many things that had to be resolved immediately, such as the tens of thousands of prisoners in his hands, including more than 6,000 Janissaries who were not under his control. Philus' surrender was a forced landing on the battlefield, and she did not join Rome willingly.

Aenarion ordered the soldiers to quickly remove the weapons and armor of the Iron Hands, except for their armaments, and asked Sisina and other Gorgons to persuade their sister who lived hundreds of years ago, and take her back to Laurin's nest to visit her mother's grave. He asked the legion commander to separate from the legion, and then the army advanced along the Meriz River to the Balkan inland, and entered the capital of Bulgaria: Sofia at the fastest speed, controlling this magnificent city and many Janissary families.

After breaking away from the Ottoman Empire, the Janissaries of the Iron Hands directly got rid of their previous lifestyle. Many of them returned to their families, and many got married and had children. These old soldiers who followed Philus in the rebellion all settled in Sofia, the most prosperous city in Bulgaria.

After capturing the city, Aenarion finally felt a little relieved. The accompanying White Tower wizard and Roman officials rushed into Sofia's library as quickly as possible and obtained the population and land registration of the Bulgarian Kingdom as soon as possible. They found that this group of people were still using data from the Ottoman era. The population was still the 800,000 confirmed by Muhammad I in the early fifteenth century, and it was not updated at all. The local area still had the simplest tax farming system, that is, the kingdom subcontracted the right to collect taxes to local tyrants.

The officials went to the village to estimate the land and population, and then based on these two data, they set a tax figure for the local tyrants, which was about 20% to 30% of the grain output. - Your village pays so much tax to the king every year, as for how much tax you collect from the people in this village, I don't care even if it's nine out of ten.

In this case, it was simple. Aenarion had killed at least 800 tax farmers, if not a thousand. He quickly transferred officials from Constantinople, as well as scholars who had passed the imperial examinations in recent years but did not have enough official positions to serve as officials in Bulgaria. Starting from Sofia, he gradually spread grassroots officials throughout Bulgaria, took the right to taxation from the local tyrants and gentry and gave it to the central government. Those who were obedient retained all their property and part of the land, and those who were disobedient were directly suppressed by the army, and then the land was returned to the people. He systematically carried out a comprehensive occupation of the Bulgarian provinces, recalculated the population, measured the fields, and those who paid taxes to the Ottoman Empire and the Bulgarian government for a certain number of years were directly promoted to citizens of the empire, and his rule was established from the grassroots level.

Finally, the officials reported to Aenarion that the population of Bulgaria was 1.2 million. After acquiring the Bulgarian province, the total population of the Roman Empire broke through the 10 million mark and reached 10.2 million.

Afterwards, Aenarion reorganized the Ogre Kingdom into the Danube Province, adopting the same approach as Crimea. The Turkic ogres and Tatar satyrs were allowed to graze as they pleased, and he would not force others to change their way of survival like the Ottoman Empire did. He opened the Roman market to these herdsmen, and things that were not available in the nomadic society could be easily bought within the Roman Empire, thus minimizing the possibility of nomadic looting, and if any disaster occurred, the Empire would allocate funds for disaster relief.

At the same time, the Khan titles of Irel and Chagatai were still retained, and all the nomadic chiefs and heads were recorded, but their Roman citizenship was not delegated. As long as you are willing to join the Roman legion, you and your family can get Roman green cards. After some calculations, the population of the ogres is 600,000, and other Slavs and Vikings. There are also scattered gathering areas and port cities on the Danube and the Black Sea coast, adding up to about 300,000 people, bringing the population of the Roman Empire to 11.1 million.

Aenarion managed Bulgaria and the Danube Province in an orderly manner, annexing and digesting these territories as quickly as possible, deploying fifteen battalions of auxiliary soldiers in Bulgaria and five battalions of auxiliary soldiers on the Danube to maintain stability.

Then he sent the White Scars, the fifth legion of Chagatai Khan, with a large number of ogre thieves with tattoos on their faces, to attack Wallachia in the north. He used the simplest strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao, forcing Sanguinius to withdraw his troops from Serbia. He stayed in Sofia, controlling and digesting the surrendered Iron Hands Legion. Looking at the remaining three Balkan countries, he still wanted to make a move.

What a trick.

He was actually conquering two provinces, and Serbia was also killing people everywhere. As soon as Ryan led three legions into the Macedonian territory, he was harassed by Leman Russ. The crippled wolf pack knew that they did not have the strength to fight her head-on, so they adopted their best cavalry harassment tactics, which were just sneak attacks, and did not fight head-on.

Ryan didn't tolerate them and ordered Gilman's Thirteenth Legion not to go to Serbia for rescue, but to take a detour and directly attack the Macedonian capital, Skopje, the lair of the she-wolf!

The Ultramarines dragged their cannons and went all out. Under the premise that the Lion's army attracted the attention of the wolves, they ran 180 kilometers in three days, like a sharp knife stabbing directly into Skopje. They built artillery positions under the city and spent another three days blasting a large number of cracks in the tall and majestic city walls, forcing Leman Russ to give up harassment and return to the capital with his few remaining legions.

Afterwards, a large number of Ultramarines holding high the blue eagle flag, like a raging wave, launched a charge along the cracks in the city wall, trying to capture this thousand-year-old capital. The high elves in blue armor and the Slavs transformed into wolves fought a bloody battle in the cracks in the city wall. The Ultramarines launched seven crazy offensives in one day, and were repelled seven times by the Iskandar Dire Wolves. The corpses of the Janissaries on both sides filled the cracks in the city wall. The citizens of Skopje could even use the corpses to build a low wall made of flesh and steel to defend against the next wave of attacks.

At night, Leman Russ personally led the elite troops to launch three night raids on the camp, but was driven away three times by Gilman's men! The intensity of the war was shocking. After a day and night, even the most elite soldiers were exhausted and collapsed on the ground. Both sides killed many people and blood flowed like a river. Gilman knew that she was no match for the she-wolf in a single fight, so she led all the elite Angelos troops to fight in a group. The screams of the blue magic crows and the howling of the wolves in the dark night intertwined into a war song of death.

A war to rescue the Serbian province was turned by the Ultramarines into a war to annihilate Macedonia!

After using the Extreme Marines to resolve the wolves' endless harassment, Ryan was still under great pressure.

The gold dwarf army led by Skander was originally a terrifying existence that could compete with the Janissary Legion. Llane was able to become the Ottoman war commander because he fought with Skander for a long time, using the corpses of countless gold dwarves as pads under his feet, and step by step became the war commander of the empire. The two sides have been grudges for a long time. It can even be said that a big reason why Skander did not recognize Aenarion as an ally was because Aenarion married Llane, and the First Legion, which had committed numerous blood debts against the gold dwarves, suddenly became a Roman citizen.

With the help of the geographical advantage, this group of dwarves were even able to defeat the Ottoman Sultan's personal expeditions several times. Although these dwarves had now run out of the mountains and had no geographical advantage, Rogal Dorn's Seventh Legion, the Sultan's Fist, which was built entirely by gold dwarf blood tax collectors, gave up their Muslim faith and returned to Orthodoxy after returning to their homeland. The two legions, which had once fought each other to the point of being brainless, shook hands and made peace, and reunited for the fate of the gold dwarf people.

The combination of these two forces is terrifying enough, and Sanguinius's Undead Legion is even more heavyweight. The overwhelming power is breathtaking. He is as terrifying as Ryan, a powerful existence, and his strength is no less than Ryan.

The prairie fire started by the rebellious knights in Serbia was burning more and more fiercely.

Facing the attack from three powerful enemies, Ryan was not afraid at all. The gold dwarves and the Sultan's Fist were a very powerful force. The defense line constructed by the gold dwarf infantry was impregnable, and the number of firearms and artillery was exaggerated. However, they had a fatal weakness, which was the lack of cavalry. You couldn't expect those short legs to ride horses, and the huge artillery unit made their marching speed even slower.

Therefore, Ryan sent a large number of cavalry to harass and delay the march of the gold dwarves, and even killed all the way to the mountain pass on the border between Serbia and Albania, harassing the gold dwarves' supply lines to buy time for himself. Some auxiliary legions and Serbian black knights also joined the war, biting down Skander's army in Kruma and New Brdo.

Afterwards, she ordered Valkia to take her Second Legion, the Varyag, and several of her compatriots who could transform into 15-meter giants, to attack and destroy the rebels' castles as quickly as possible, massacre the rebellious nobles in several castles to establish her authority, intimidate the remaining rebels, and resolve internal troubles.

Finally, she personally led the elite of the First Legion and most of the auxiliary soldiers to the north to intercept Sanguinius, and ordered the Roman garrison in Belgrade to leave the city to harass Sanguinius in the Danube area, preventing this terrifying undead army from moving south. The six-winged angels and the fallen angels fought several battles on the banks of the Danube, but there was no clear winner.

Chapter 406: Thousand Miles Attack

The Lord of the First Legion, the King of the Seraphim is indeed a talented commander. Under her mediation and command, the Roman legions were divided into five groups and started fighting separately. The devastating situation in Serbia was curbed. The war had broken out for a month, and the Serbian rebels and the three Janissary legions that came to support them had no way of gathering together to form a superior force under her command, interception, siege and harassment.

Leman Russ, who was short of troops, was even blocked in Skopje by the Ultramarines and killed indiscriminately. The Wolfpack, whose legion size had never recovered, had no way of fighting a head-on war with the Ultramarines and was desperate and needed help from others.

And soon

Afterwards, Aenarion helped Llane to open up the situation. The surrender of Chagatai and Philus turned Bulgaria and the Ogre Kingdom into two provinces of the Roman Empire. The White Scars Legion, led by Chagatai Khan, marched straight to Bucharest, the lair of Sanguinius.

At this moment, Sanguinius was unable to break through the defense line that Lion had personally deployed for him when he went south, and his base in the north was threatened again, so he had no choice but to withdraw.

Now, the only ones wreaking havoc on Serbian soil are the gold dwarves and some scattered rebels.

Ryan thought for a moment and ordered the First Legion to break camp and pursue the hastily retreating Sanguinius. He vowed to seize the opportunity to destroy the legion during the enemy's retreat and put on a posture of relentless pursuit to delay Sanguinius' retreat. However, after five or six days of chasing, the entire First Legion disappeared one night.

The very aggrieved Sanguinius breathed a sigh of relief. While cursing Philus and Chagatai as useless people, he urgently withdrew his troops, seized the ferry and river boats, and crossed the Danube.

His Wallachia was the farthest from Rome and the safest, but because of these two people's surrender, he was stabbed in the back by the Romans and directly attacked the capital! This is the second time! The second time!

What's the point of fighting the Balkan War with this kind of insects! He couldn't fight Ryan on the front line at all. It would be better to stay in the Ottoman Empire. At least the Sultan would guarantee that his back was absolutely safe and he didn't have to worry about anything other than the war.

At this moment, Skander, who was attacking the second largest silver mine in the Balkans: New Brdo, keenly sensed the danger.

Their three allies, the Serbian rebels were crippled. It was said that their castle was destroyed by several giants taller than the city walls. They once again experienced the fear of being dominated by the Vikings. The Varangian Legion destroyed the rebels' old castles with great force. Those outdated defense systems were no different from decorations under the power of Roman cannons and giants.

Leman Russ was harassing the enemy at first, but then the messenger said that the Sixth Legion was blocked by the Thirteenth Legion. In the subsequent communications, the message was always "The Sixth Legion was blocked by the Thirteenth Legion."

Then there was Sanguinius. She was in a stalemate with the Roman Empire's war marshal Lion in the north, but three days ago, the fallen angel sent a messenger saying that his nest had been stolen and he had to go home. The latest intelligence from the north was six hours ago, and Lion was chasing the retreating Sanguinius. The three allies were either defeated or surrounded and were retreating, so he had to run.

However, Skander was a little unwilling to give up when he looked at the New Bold Silver Mine in front of him. He was almost there, and he was almost there to capture the city! Seize the vast wealth in the city! Albania was not a rich land, and he was indeed short of money.

No, I can't be so greedy! After sorting out the intelligence, the Roman legion was divided into four parts to fight, and the enemy I faced was the least, only Serbian knights and some Roman auxiliary cavalry.

Therefore, in the past month, he had won three battles on the front battlefield by relying on the massive army of the gold dwarves and their large-scale firearms units, and had trapped the Serbs in New Brdo, and the city was about to fall.

The Ultramarines are far away in Macedonia and cannot come over.

Varangag had no need to be afraid. Those Vikings lacked cavalry, and were a newly formed Viking legion of Aenarion, lacking the foundation of orthodox Janissaries. Even the few Vikings who could transform into frost giants were worthy of vigilance, as they were no match for him. Moreover, they were 110 kilometers away in the north, and it would take two or three days for them to march quickly.

The one who should be most vigilant is Ryan. According to the information provided by Saint-Gilius eight hours ago, they are still on the Danube River, a full 200 kilometers away from him, which is a very long distance.

After collecting all the information, Skander was torn between the greed of the dwarves for wealth and the king's responsibility to the people. He finally made a decision: one day! He only gave the army one day!

It was now two o'clock in the morning. If he could capture the New Bourde silver mine before sunset today, he could quickly carry away the huge wealth of the city and then quickly retreat back to the mountains. Relying on the mountain fortresses that he and Rog Dorn had built in the mountains over the years, he could keep the Roman Empire out of the country.

What he didn't know was that the information he received eight hours ago was the last letter sent by Sanguinius at six o'clock that evening. That night, after Lion pretended to chase Sanguinius for a few days, he thought the show was almost over, and immediately brought his First Legion, the Dark Angels, back at full speed day and night.

At eight o'clock in the evening on November 1458, 11, the Gold Dwarf army finally captured New Brdo after a day and night of fierce fighting. The Serbian knights suffered heavy casualties in the artillery fire and were defeated in large numbers. Skander led the exhausted Gold Dwarfs into the city in triumph and looted a huge amount of wealth overnight.

At 1458 pm on November 11, 18, after a day and night of looting, Skander looked at the spoils with great joy. The looted goods were roughly estimated to be worth at least million dinars, a huge sum of money that could upgrade the entire Albanian army and renovate a large number of cities! Now that it was getting dark, he ordered the soldiers to spend the night in New Burdo under the protection of the city walls, return home immediately tomorrow morning, and then find a way to negotiate peace with Rome.

However, when the sky just showed light on November 11, Ryan

She appeared in the suburbs of New Bourde with the First Legion of Dark Angels like a nightmare. In pursuit of extreme speed, she directly threw away all the auxiliary infantry and even the Terrorwing artillery. She only brought five cavalry wings that were panting and almost exhausted, and three times the number of war horses to the city. Skander was so scared that he was about to burst!

What the hell? Wasn't she fighting Sanguinius two days ago? Why is she here in front of me today? What happened on the Danube River???

"Everyone stop and rest! Jump off the horses you are using to travel, take off your armor from the packhorses, put it on, then jump on the warhorses and prepare for battle!

All priests, use magic to heal and restore the horses, and make sure every horse can enter combat mode after traveling 200 kilometers without any load! Everyone, take out dry food, and take the time to eat and rest on horseback, quickly!!!"

Ryan gave the entire army a cold order, then jumped off his warhorse that was foaming at the mouth and almost exhausted, and used magic to summon his contracted mount, a shadow dragon, and rode her rapidly into the air, letting the shadow of the shadow dragon's wings cover the heads of the gold dwarves.

"Warmaster, won't you rest?"

An old soldier who was almost asthmatic due to exhaustion asked in surprise.

Ryan looked at him coldly without saying a word. The man and the dragon melted into ethereal shadows, like dark clouds or a cold swamp, and disappeared directly under the shadow of the leaves.

The next second, the six-winged angel and the dark dragon that turned into shadows roared horribly on the walls of New Bourdo! The cold and terrifying breath of the shadow dragon swept over the city like a tide of shadows. A large number of ordinary soldiers died on the spot after being touched by the shadow breath. The more elite Janissaries were also deprived of a lot of life essence and were dying. Ryan cut off the Albanian flag on the wall with a sword, and summoned a pillar of flames that soared into the sky, announcing his arrival to his old friends, all the gold dwarves who hated him so much! ! !

Chapter 407: Gods Descend to Earth

"Everyone, break out immediately! I'll cover your rear!"

Skander immediately realized that something was wrong. Although leaving the safety of the city walls and retreating hastily in this situation might turn into a major rout, he had to know that he was pure infantry and had a large number of artillery and supplies, while the enemy was good at cavalry assaults.

However, Ryan, who should have been 200 kilometers away, actually ran to him in less than two days! His intelligence system had problems. Who knows where the Second Legion and the Thirteenth Legion are now. If he defended in New Bourdo, then Ryan would besiege the city and wait for all the other Roman soldiers to gather under the city. By then, no one would be able to escape. He could only escape now!

The army of gold dwarves took their spoils and hastily retreated from New Burdo. Ryan rode a shadow dragon and chased them, slashing them all the way as if he was in an empty space. It was an extremely terrifying scene. The huge beasts four or five stories high, accompanied by the creepy sound of dragon roars, took steps that shook the world, chasing the dwarves who were more than one meter tall, shouting and fighting fiercely!

This shadow dragon was like a soft, invisible dark quagmire, or a turbid stream of shadows that covered the sky and the sun, sweeping all enemies into darkness and nothingness. Amid the screams of the golden dwarves, it ruthlessly devoured their lives. Its bloody kiss opened, and four or five dwarves were swallowed whole. With a clasp of its dragon claws, five or six dwarves turned into meat paste that stuck to the ground, along with huge claw marks that appeared on the ground. The dragon's wings spread out, and whole rows and companies of golden dwarves were blown high into the sky!

Some gold dwarves held muskets and turned their guns to prepare for attack, but the damn shadow dragon would dissolve into a tide of shadow every time, disappearing into the shadows like liquid, avoiding the gold dwarves' large-scale counterattacks, and then emerge from their wriggling, boiling shadows, using its shadow dragon breath that covered the sky and the sun to cause large-scale destruction, destroying the counterattack formation. A few scattered bullets and artillery shells couldn't even blow open the shadow dragon's scales or the black lacquered armor on Ryan's body that was decorated with a lot of green branches and vines.

Seeing Ryan wreaking havoc so unscrupulously with his extremely exaggerated dodging and defensive abilities, Skander personally joined the battlefield. The golden dwarf, who was 1.5 meters tall and 1.5 meters wide, with muscles all over his body, was wearing double-layer chain mail and a piece of gold-plated armor on the outside. Even his golden beard that fell to his waist was protected by an extra layer of chain mail. The war hammer and the giant axe in his hands were also forged from refined gold. The whole person looked like a perfect sculpture cast in gold, shining under the sunlight.

"Ah, see you again, little guy."

Ryan had been sitting on the dragon's back to recover his strength, waiting for the opponent to arrive. With a creepy friction sound, the Lion Sword was wrapped in golden fire the moment it was pulled out of the scabbard, and it burned more vigorously in just half a second. It seemed that what Ryan pulled out of the scabbard was not a sharp blade, but a golden sun.

In an instant, the terrifying fire wrapped around the sword blade turned into a blazing pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky! Thousands of golden flying stars danced and spun around the golden pillar of fire, making a shrill and terrifying whistling sound in the air!

Holy Slash!!!

Ryan swung his sword suddenly, but at this moment, Skander's body suddenly expanded and turned into a giant three meters tall and three meters wide. The flesh and bones protected by the triple armor turned into indestructible gold ore. The whole person turned into a giant gold sculpture.

The sculpture is like a towering reef standing in the storm, unscathed in the magnificent sea of ​​fire.

Ryan frowned. This was the move of Rog Dorn, the Lord of the Seventh Legion, the skill of the [Mountain King] profession: [God Descends to Earth]. It greatly increased his armor, life, and damage, while making him immune to all magic damage and magic effects. Just like the damn Iron Golem, magic moves such as the Holy Slash could not cause any damage at all.

But this profession was not a gold dwarf thing, but a legacy of the gray dwarves in Persia. Rogal Dorn relied on his position as the Sultan's favorite lord of the throne legion and spent a lot of effort to get this thing from the Timurid Empire. Unexpectedly, she turned around and shared this thing with the gold dwarves in Albania? Her own compatriots?

"Come here, little kitty! You left thirteen wounds on my body, and they're hurting!"

Skander raised the hammer in his left hand high up, and then slammed it into the ground. In an instant, the entire earth fell apart under his terrifying blow, breaking into pieces. With the hammer hitting the ground as the origin, the entire battlefield cracked into a terrifying spider web-like crack, and dust and dirt were splashed into the sky several meters high! The entire ground was shaking crazily, and the Shadow Dragon was also shaking. It couldn't stand steadily on the broken ground and fell to the ground with Ryan.

After a successful strike, Skander exerted force with his legs and suddenly jumped up to a height of six or seven meters in the sky. He swung the battle axe in his right hand, like a golden meteor, and smashed it towards the Angel King on the dragon's back!

"clang!!!"

Ryan raised the Lion Sword to block the opponent's powerful axe, but Skander, who was in the state of a god, had the strength of one hand comparable to Ryan's two hands. He swung the hammer in his left hand and smashed it hard on her chest. Even the most powerful black armor of the Ottoman Empire was smashed with a terrible crack.

After gaining the advantage, Skander swung his arms, picked up the giant axe and hammer and launched a crazy attack like a storm. Ryan just looked at him coldly, and then the dragon turned into a tide of shadow again, melting into a pool of shadow. Relying on the power of the shadow dragon he mounted, he hid in the shadow and never appeared again.

"I admit that you are very powerful in your divine state, but Rog Dorn can only maintain this state for three minutes. How long can you last?"

Skanderbeg's forehead turned into metal, secreting some liquid dewdrops. There was indeed a biggest problem with his current state, which was that it could only last for three minutes. The kitten was so annoyed that he simply hid in the shadows and waited for his state to end.

"Come out, coward! You, the Lord of the First Legion, don't dare to face my hammer and axe? You might as well take off your armor, throw away your sword, dress up like a whore, and warm the bed for your Roman Emperor!!!"

Skander tried to provoke the other party. He looked vigilantly at every shadow on the battlefield and every darkness in the ruins to prevent Ryan's sudden attack, but the only response he got was endless silence and the terrifying murderous aura that accumulated and rose wildly in the shadows.

Verbal provocation was ineffective, so he ran away helplessly, taking his guards with him, and found Rogal Dorn and her personal wall guards. The two of them huddled together, looking for some sense of security under the killing shadow of Llane, and then commanded their army to retreat hastily.

Three minutes later, the state of the gods descending to earth was lifted, and Skander, the three-meter-tall metal giant, turned back into a 1.5-meter-tall dwarf. His nervous heart almost jumped out of his throat, for fear that Ryan would suddenly jump out and stab him with a sword. Rogge held a shield in one hand and a hammer in the other, and swallowed nervously. It was impossible to confront one of the most powerful legion commanders in the past without any psychological pressure, but nothing happened.

After the dwarves' attention was all on Skanderbeg, Ryan ran directly to the city gate and started a killing spree. The city wall, which had been destroyed by the dwarf artillery, fell apart in the magnificent flame tide of the Holy Slash, and collapsed completely with a loud bang! It was difficult for people to walk through the large ruins. Carriages, artillery, and baggage could not move at all, which greatly delayed Skanderbeg's evacuation. Then he disappeared again, relying on his powerful mobility in the shadows to disrupt the dwarves' pace as much as possible.

Ryan was very clear about his purpose. His five-winged angels were exhausted after their rapid march, and the dwarves had just rested. At this moment, they could only harass them but not attack.

However, time is on their side! The dwarves are now evacuating quickly. A large number of soldiers wearing heavy armor are clearing the rubble and ruins to open a retreat route. Moreover, they are tense and increasingly tired under their harassment and threats.

While his own soldiers were resting and taking a nap on horseback in the suburbs, the offensive and defensive forces gradually became alienated.

Chapter 408: Sweeping Away the Clouds

It took the Gold Dwarf army four hours to clear the way out of the city under Ryan's interference. After several battalions of soldiers left New Bourdo, they immediately deployed a defense line in the wilderness to cover other dwarves leaving the city and retreating towards the mountains of Albania. At this moment, Ryan also gave orders, and large black flags embroidered with six-winged angels rushed out of the nearby forest, followed by the Janissaries of the entire First Legion.

Not only that, within these four hours, all those who received the warmaster's orders were rushing towards New Bourdo, and the two auxiliary soldier battalions responsible for blocking and harassment missions also arrived at the battlefield.

斯坎

De Pei sent two battalions of dwarf musketeers to relieve the auxiliary soldiers, and then led his men to fight the First Legion again. The gold dwarves followed the Romans' example and directly formed the Aenarion Phalanx on the flat ground. The front, back, left and right were all frontal, giving the cavalry no chance to raid from behind. The densely arranged soldiers used spears to form a dense forest to counter the cavalry assault, and artillery pieces were also urgently redirected in the defense of the large phalanx.

Ryan snorted coldly. This kind of large square formation was indeed the nemesis of cavalry. No cavalry could charge it. The Dark Angels couldn't, the Serbs couldn't, and the Ogres couldn't either. The Ottoman cavalry advantage was completely wiped out by Aenarion using this trick in field battles, forcing the Balkan countries to learn this trick. However, Aenarion's large square formation was not without weaknesses.

She waved her hand and ordered the high-speed flying Ravenwing to disrupt the enemy artillery.
