Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 478: Beginning Of Prosperity (2)

Tucker was shocked when he saw a row of explosive firewalls a hundred meters wide suddenly rise from the cavalry formation below the slope. This wave of attacks came too suddenly. Tucker had counted for thousands of times, but he never expected that the fireball fired from his opponent's strange firearm was actually a fireball similar to the fireball used by a magician. As many as a hundred blazing fireballs, it was as if hundreds of magicians were attacking at the same time.

Only the imperial army and the dukes' private armies had such luxurious equipment on such a scale.

After a wave of explosions, the second wave of fireballs attacked again. At this moment, before the flames from the first wave of explosions disappeared, a new round of explosions started again. The landing point of this round of explosions moved backwards a little, just in time to cover the cavalry rushing up from behind within the range of the explosion. Tucker's throat was bitter, and before he could give the order, the third wave of fireballs came again!

There were almost no open three-wave fireballs, forming a series of continuous explosions. The blazing storm carried rough sound waves that shook the entire grassland, causing the unicorn cavalry to feel as if they had fallen into hell. After three consecutive bombardments, the cavalry was immediately reduced by two-thirds under the cover of the Fire Fighting Rifle. Only a portion of the lucky ones rushed out of the fire screen, but everyone was injured. Tucker was even more shocked. It was like a lineup of a hundred magicians with fireballs. Moreover, there was almost no gap between the three waves of attacks, making the cavalry charge a joke.

On this day, the tactics of high-powered firepower had completely overturned the empire's understanding of war. One had to know that even if the imperial army or the Duke's private army could have more than a hundred magicians, even a single magician would not be able to launch three waves of attacks without interruption like this. In order to accomplish Allen's tactics, he had to possess more magical techniques and use echelon bombardment in turn to accomplish it.

However, in that way, the consumption would naturally not be comparable to Alan's Inch Fire.

"Assault!" Tucker roared. The cavalry had been beaten out of formation. If he kept his troops, he wouldn't have to fight in this battle anymore.

He could be considered valiant, but he still shouted out an order to assault in the face of such an attack. Upon hearing the order, the infantry on the slope raised their shields and charged forward. This was a defensive fire. Everyone knew the standard combat posture of guns, but using their shields to carry fireballs was also a joke.

Fortunately, the three rounds of Blaze Missile bombardment had almost exhausted the Origin Energy of the Inch Fire Warrior. Alan Qianjun raised his head and loudly said, "Mountain King, step forward and form a defensive line. Inch fire retreat. Normal firing mode, prepare to fire!"

The battle formation moved like a tide.

The hundred Mountain King warriors roared as they moved forward with their shields in their hands. Three of them formed a steel line of defense. The Inch Fire Warrior retreated and stood still after the Mountain King. Using the shield wall of the Mountain King Warrior as a cover, the Inch Fire Warrior adjusted the firing mode of his rifle and, under Alan's orders, concentrated his fire on the remaining cavalry charging towards him.

Suddenly, a loud and abrupt gunshot rang out on the grassland. Blazing waves of air and violent sound waves of impact rushed towards the direction of the cavalry galloping towards them. A thick tongue of flame shot out from the muzzle of the menacing flame rifle. The flame jumped, illuminating the Inch Flame Warrior's face. Streams of blazing metal flames whipped towards the charging cavalry. The violent shrapnel easily tore apart their armor and horses' harnesses, shattering their flesh and blood. As a result, many beautiful flowers of blood blossomed in the Blue Wilderness. Tucker's eyes were bloodshot. He had just rushed down the slope when he saw the rest of the cavalry collapse in an instant!

The sudden appearance of a large blank space on the battlefield made the tall commander feel powerless.

Less than fifty cavalrymen rushed to the defensive line after the last round of fire from the Blackfire Rifle. Ellen raised his hand and shouted, "Mountain King, attack with an axe!"

The Mountain King warriors roared in unison. Everyone put down their warhammers, stretched out their hands, and pulled out a fine iron axe. The warriors aimed at the nearby cavalry and threw out their axes at the same time. Immediately, another strange howl came from the battlefield. The axe whirled and let out an intimidating howl. Nearly a hundred axes were thrown out at the same time, constantly embedded into the bodies of warhorses and cavalry, completely eliminating the final wave of cavalry.

Seeing this scene, Tucker almost fell to his knees. The most elite cavalry of the unicorns were killed and wounded without even touching the corners of the enemy's clothes. The ones who survived were either seriously injured or lying on the battlefield, moaning and shouting. They simply didn't have the strength to fight anymore. Tucker endured the pain and shouted angrily, "Go, avenge our brothers!"

Behind him, 400 infantry soldiers pa. S.sed by Tucker like a tide, launching an irrevocable charge. Tucker also released an imposing aura, pointing straight at Alan, his provocative intent was obvious. Alan jumped off the horse. Tucker and the others had already borrowed the cover of the cavalry from before. The suppression of the inch fire could no longer be used. Next up was a hand-to-hand battle, so that they could train their hands for the foot soldiers who had been trained for a long time.

Thus, after a few orders, the Mountain King was still at the forefront, but the shield wall he had built earlier had been dismantled. The three of them formed a combat unit to meet the enemy. At the same time, Inch Flame spread out to the left and right, allowing the infantry soldiers behind to pass through. These soldiers came from Storm City and were composed of the original soldiers and recruits of Storm City. After months of training, the soldiers who were able to leave the camp smoothly had good combat strength after implementing the training plan drawn up by Zu Roy. All that was lacking was actual combat experience.

Alan first let them watch the battle between Inch Fire and the Mountain King from behind, arousing their fighting spirit. Only then would they be released to fight, in order to gain practical combat experience, and not lose too much because of participating in such a great battle for the first time. It could be said that they had put in a lot of effort. Coupled with the Mountain King Skimming Formation, the lives of these soldiers would be guaranteed to the greatest extent possible.

Very quickly, the two armies collided. The first round of the collision was naturally welcomed by the warriors of the Mountain King. These warriors, who had been strictly selected, raised their shields and collided heavily with the infantry soldiers charging towards them. This collision caused the Mountain King Warrior to stand as motionless as a reef in the sea of rage. Even though the unicorn infantry were elite warriors, their qualities were far inferior to those of Mountain Kings.

They were knocked back one after another, overwhelming their colleagues in the rear, causing quite a bit of chaos.

Allen's infantry took the opportunity to surge forward and pa. S.sed by the Mountain King warriors like a stream of water. They handed over their swords to the fallen enemy soldiers and reaped their first merit since the start of the war.

"Leave the commander to me. You guys can do whatever else you want." Alan raised his saber and walked straight towards Tucker. His momentum was condensed, and waves of fiery might were sent straight towards him, causing the enemy soldiers standing in front of him to lose their footing and dodge to both sides, knowing that they did not interfere in the battle between the experts of the two sides.

Regis and the others were originally eager to try, but Alan had already picked the commander of the other party, so they could only attack the officers of the enemy. These officers were the fulcrum of the battlefield, and after removing them, the remaining soldiers were not to be feared.

Only Tucker knew what it felt like to face Allen's momentum head-on. In the Blue Wilderness, it was as if he had been thrown into the eyes of the Great Desert Abyss Devil thousands of kilometers away. The surrounding air became hot and blazing, as if waves of hot air were rising from his feet, causing fine beads of sweat to appear on Tucker's forehead. His large shield was set straight, and almost half of them were hiding behind it, revealing only one head.

Tucker stared at Alan with rapt attention, and every minute Alan put more pressure on him. Tucker had already continuously released his aura, but he had barely managed to block Alan's path.

About five meters away from Tucker, Alan stopped and said, "Commander Tucker, I can give you a chance. If you consider surrendering, I'll be happy to stop this battle."

"Bullshit!" Tucker stubbornly scolded, "The Unicorn Legion only has warriors who died in battle, not cowards who surrendered!"

"Alright, I admire your courage. In this way, I can only use my full strength to respond to your courage." Alan nodded solemnly, and pieces of orange origin energy flames began to emanate from his body.

Within the flames, the inscription of the prairie blade appeared. One of the loops flashed. Allen activated his ability to ignite. Immediately, he felt as if there was a blazing flame burning in his body. Originally, the Origin Energy within his body burned like gasoline being ignited by fire. The surging power passed through Allen's blood vessels and almost burst them. His entire body was filled with power, like a balloon that was constantly expanding. Alan wished he could immediately pour out this power!

This was ignition. It was at the expense of accelerating the consumption of Origin Energy in exchange for an enormous explosive force. Allen could no longer imagine what would happen to the subsequent boiling and eruption. He restrained his mind and poured surging Origin Energy towards Qianjun. The black blade was like a vicious beast that had woken up, continuously trembling with excitement. A wisp of profound yellow light was dyed on the edge of the blade, and a patch of Blue Core Grass suddenly ignited by Alan's feet without fire.

This flame was so fierce that it instantly sucked out all the water from the bluegrass and burned the plants to ashes. The flames came and disappeared quickly. In the blink of an eye, a pitch-black charred ground about a meter in diameter appeared beneath Allen's feet. The charred grass ash was rising in the wind and floating away.

The moment the grass ash flew up, Alan moved. He dragged his saber forward, his momentum condensed like a saber, heavily hitting Tucker's giant shield. Just now, Tucker had continuously injected Origin Energy into the giant shield. At this moment, a three centimeter thick light cocoon formed on the surface of the shield, strengthening the shield's defense. At the same time, the light on Tucker's warhammer flashed. He intended to block Alan's unparalleled attack and counterattack.

That light cocoon was one of his abilities. Tucker's abilities were more defensive, and this light cocoon was one of them. After adding on the defenses of the light cocoon, even if he was bombarded by the cannons, he was confident that he would be able to withstand it, let alone an inconspicuous saber in Allen's hand.

In the blink of an eye, Allen was already in front of the Tucker Shield. He didn't seem to intend to dodge the giant shield, so he handed it over with a blade as light as a feather. Tucker snorted and leaned forward. The giant shield pushed the light cocoon forward, trying to suppress Alan's attack. Unexpectedly, Qianjun easily stabbed into the light cocoon, as if a knife had stabbed into butter. The light cocoon that Tucker was proud of had no defensive effect at all.

Tucker, who was behind the shield, could not feel the slightest collision of Origin Energy, causing his heart to palpitate. Following Qianjun's blade, it was as if it had pierced through a piece of paper, easily tearing apart the giant shield, and finally lightly tapping on Tucker's chest. The armor on Tucker's chest couldn't even slow down for a moment, it had already been pierced through by the blade. The hot tip of the knife was like a poisonous snake swallowing a letter, and it retracted a bit from the muscles behind the armor.

When Qianjun withdrew, Tucker's light cocoon and giant shield shattered at the same time. The light shards and the metal shards on the surface of the shield fell, and in the blink of an eye, the light cocoon disappeared. The giant shield shattered, but Tucker still held it with his hand.

Allen succeeded in his saber strike and suddenly retreated, putting away his heavy saber. Without looking at Tucker, he turned around and walked back. Tucker's heart surged with anger, and he wanted to roar loudly. However, when the voice came to his throat, it turned into a blood spring. Following that, a shocking pain came from the chest where the blade had landed. With Tucker's endurance, he couldn't help but scream miserably. However, before the scream could be heard, Yu Yi suddenly disappeared into the air.

A blazing stream of fire sprayed out from Tucker's back, followed by blazing flames spraying out of his eyes, mouth, and nostrils. It was as if a ball of flames had exploded in his body. The blazing flames desperately rushed out from any channel that could be released. It was also an inch fire, but under the effect of igniting, an explosive blazing Origin Energy was sent into Tucker's body along the blade. Even though the wound wasn't big, Tucker's organs had been burned clean in the blink of an eye.

After a while, Tucker slowly tilted and fell heavily to the ground. His skin had turned crimson, and his eyes had already been burned by the flames. Two streaks of hot smoke were floating in the remaining pair of pitch-black eyes.

Once the commander died, there would be no suspense in the next battle. However, the unicorn warriors were truly valiant. In the end, more than half of the infantry died, and less than a hundred people abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

In the Battle of Blue Wilderness, Daniel's elite army was almost completely annihilated. The heaviest loss was a total of 600 cavalry, and only a few survived the war. This elite that was capable of sweeping through the other baronets was completely unorganized under the bombardment of the inch fire, leaving a deep impression in the minds of the surrendered soldiers. In stark contrast to the devastating losses of the Unicorn Legion, Allen had only lost about twenty soldiers in battle. This huge battle damage ratio had a strong impact on many people not long after.

On this day, the trump card in Allen's hand was finally revealed. His main force was like an ancient vicious beast, revealing its glory to the people for the first time!

In the Blue Wilderness, the Unicorn Legion had been utterly defeated at the same time. Oru, who was far away in his territory, had yet to receive any news of Daniel's defeat. But when the two armies met in the grasslands, he received the report early in the morning. Therefore, early in the morning, Oru's officials and officials were called to the meeting room.

Alan's intentions were obvious. He was here for the Bauhinia. Once Oru was defeated, there would be no more barons in Daniel's territory who could fight him. At that time, Daniel only had a full-scale war or two options to negotiate with Ou Ban. Apart from that, there was no third option for viscounts.
