Chapter 372 Unstoppable

Once at the front line, Datney tensed up.

The solemn and murderous atmosphere brought by the battlefield is everywhere, making him look around like a conditioned reflex.

The Ben Cavalry advocates offense. Their advantage is long-distance raids and charge, either on the offensive or on the way to attack. On the march, all soldiers are used to looking around.

Like a bird, always keep your eyes on the surrounding environment.

Dartney felt a little heavy.

The front-line prisoner-of-war camp was even simpler. A wooden fence was built on the top of the hill, and a few animal skin tents were set up inside. The seriously wounded were recuperating in tents, and the lightly wounded or ordinary prisoners rested on the spot.

The patrolling of the cat people has become extremely frequent. Both men and women have swords on their waists and bows and arrows on their backs. It can be seen from their cross-arming and guarding the terrain that they are experienced.

"Don't look, come and help."

A voice urged.

Datney hurriedly responded.

It was Banu who was found digging a hole and trying to escape the prison before calling him.

He lost a left leg, but the Yao people fitted him with a new artificial leg. The prosthetic leg is made of brass and iron, and its shape is the same as that of a normal leg, except that it makes a rattling sound when walking.

Banu likes it very much.

He'll slap that leg like a weapon, or kick off rocks and break saplings.

"Aside from other things, the medical methods of the Yao people are really powerful... Although this prosthetic limb does not feel flesh and blood, it is not bad at all in terms of flexibility. It is more capable of fighting than my original leg."

Datney was very curious, saying how the Yao people installed such expensive and sophisticated things for him.

Not long ago, Banu was still a prison escapee, and he was held in solitary confinement and under special surveillance.

"I made a deal with them."

"You betrayed the Benqi army?"

"Fuck your mother's shit! New soldier, be careful what you say to me! Although I'm not a big shot, I'm also a veteran who has gone through three wars. Even if I can't win, I won't betray my own people!"

Banu glared at him.

Dartney felt a little guilty: "What happened before was an accident... I never thought of betraying you."

"Forget it, it's all over. Seeing how cowardly you are, you don't seem to have the courage."

Banu patted his copper leg, making a clanging sound.

"I got this leg in exchange for teaching them the writing and language of the Benqi army. I also served as an orderly in the military academy for a while... The Yao people really learn things quickly."

He spat: "Stop talking nonsense, go and appease those guys first."

The so-called guys are the prisoners of the Cavalry Army in the prisoner-of-war camp.

It is not easy to communicate with them.

In the beginning, Datney was frustrated repeatedly. He was ignored at all, or he was ridiculed.

Later, Banu taught him not to talk to them in public, but to pull them out one by one to chat alone. Otherwise, even if the cavalry wanted to be soft in their hearts, they would not openly obey because of the soldiers' standpoint.

"It's all here."

Banu kicked a stone: "It is always good to have fewer people die. I hope that most of them can be with us, and finally return to the Benqi Army."

These words surprised Datney a little.

The implication is that Banu has already determined that the Ben cavalry army will undoubtedly be defeated.

"Isn't that obvious? Recruit, do you see where we are?"

Datney looked around.

Here is a narrow and long promontory, the left and right sides are flat and direct sea surface, the promontory spreads all the way, reaching the place where the kingdom of God descended in front of the cavalry army.

"Have you not understood? It seems that you have never fought any battles."

Banu waved a branch and said impatiently: "When the war started, this promontory was quickly occupied by our army. Our army has advanced to the hinterland. Now it has lost its position. It means that the front line of our army has been pushed back, understand gone?"

Dartney was puzzled: "But that doesn't mean we've lost, does it?"

"The Cavalry Army is good at charging and attacking. Once they are forced to defend, they are already at a complete disadvantage strategically."

Banu told him: "Think about it, when you are fighting with an enemy, when will you cover your head with your fist?"

"It's not necessarily impossible."

A cavalry veteran with a bandage on his head joined the discussion: "According to the previous battle situation, we have lost two apostles, that is to say, there are still two apostles who are capable of fighting. If you can use the spell of Neferi-sama , Summon the Python Surrounding the Mountain, and Lord Rumedes will lead the main force of the Ash Warriors to break through the defense line, which may turn the tide of the battle."

"Too difficult."

Another person said: "The Yao people are at war with us, but there is actually only one "United Army" on the front line, and the main "peacekeeping force" has not moved yet... I was in the second brigade of the cavalry until I was injured and captured. , More than half of them have been killed in battle, and the follow-up depends on the supply of recruits. Many soldiers were lost. "

"Their wooden monsters haven't been fully dispatched yet, and there are assassins like the one who assassinated Falbert. If there are a few more, the safety of the apostles is also a problem. Maybe only when Lord Ben shows his divine power, can he have a chance Reverse...but the enemy also has gods."

"Perhaps a surprise attack can be considered... but the death rate will be very high and the risk will be great."

"What about sea operations? Is there a chance?"

"It's too difficult. There are murlocs in the water, and the red-skinned people are very flexible in the water... The sea is more uncertain, and it may even be the area where the Yao people set traps."

The participants in the discussion were all veterans, and the more they talked, the more silent they became.

Seeing them like this, Datney also truly realized that the Ben Cavalry Army had indeed fallen into an extremely unfavorable quagmire. The enemy is like an unstoppable giant beast, and it just took a step and ran over head-on.

At this time, a distant horn sounded in the air.

Datney turned his head subconsciously, and saw a huge forelimb stepping on the ground, stepping a bush into the soil. There are columnar lines on the forefoot, which are composed of bamboo figures.

Datney is no stranger to this kind of monster.

A large number of bamboo people can be combined into a giant beast. After being traumatized, they can quickly disperse and break up into pieces, guerrilla fleeing, which makes the Ben cavalry army very headache.

But the bamboo beast in front of him is really too big, it is like a moving meat mountain bull, with a thick and wide back and a strong torso, and the ground shakes slightly with each foot.

It just passed by, making Danit tremble with fear.

Following the giant armored ox, another bamboo beast like a many-legged scorpion followed from behind, and oversized monsters that had never shown their faces walked past the prisoner-of-war camp, pointing directly at the frontline cavalry army.

Datney saw that the faces of the soldiers in the prisoner-of-war camp turned pale.

"It's over, it's over."

"Their main force is finally here, and they weren't the strongest before."

"You must hold on, Neferi-sama and Rumedes-sama..."

"Oh, how the **** do you fight..."

Datney raised his eyes and looked ahead.

Those giant bamboo beasts erected bamboo towers on their backs and shoulders, and bamboo birds took off from above. They invaded the territory of the Ben cavalry army from the air and occupied the airspace.

There is also an endless stream of sky lanterns in the rear. They are suspended in the air, using different glass covers to emit various colors of fire, and become signal buoys for the Yao people in the air.

Then, neatly arranged strange chariots drove out of the woods.

They have beast heads made of copper or iron, and a lot of white mist is emitted from the head. The iron body is tall and strong, and the high roof is covered by coarse cloth, so it is difficult to see what is inside. The iron wheels of the chariot rolled over the leaves and soil on the ground, leaving deep ruts.

It was the first time that Datney saw a chariot driven by a beast without a mount.

Along with the steel chariot is a group of brown clay figurine warriors. They are tall and calm, without squinting, like a group of emotionless killers.

Dartney took the highest position, trying to see what was happening on the distant front.

Because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely see the bamboo beasts raging and trampling the battlefield, the bamboo birds expelled and killed the military birds in the air, and the huge beast cavalry phalanx and ashes warrior formation on the ground were routing like a tide

Especially the previous clay figurine army, when they appeared, they were like hot knives cutting cold oil, and no force could stop them wherever they went.

The chariots finally revealed their true colors, roaring like thunder.

There are tall and gorgeous roses on the car.

Purple roses will emit fireworks, and each shot of artillery fire accompanying the petals will blow up the cavalry in an area to pieces. The blood-stained rose will spout red light, shooting down all the surrounding cavalry soldiers who can't avoid it.

Datney's body trembled when he saw it.

The funeral doctor did not exaggerate.

When the Yao people were ready to end, the war was already over.

Among the losing fronts, there is only one point that is still supporting. There is a big gray snake hovering around there. It is still fighting with the mighty Yao people and has become the last bastion before the Kingdom of God.

It is Master Neferi, the apostle. She is using magic to stop the progress of the Yao people, but the body of the mountain-surrounding python is riddled with holes.

Datney only felt sad and sad.

Because behind Neferi, the huge kingdom of the cavalry army is rapidly rising into the clouds.

Ben cavalry fled.

King Ben abandoned the warriors who were still fighting here, including the apostle Neferi whom he relied heavily on.

Dartney has mixed feelings.

He lost his chance to return to his hometown forever and became a homeless bum, like other stranded people here.

On the other hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he would not go back and be treated as a deserter.

Now, he has to learn to live in this new world.
