Chapter 372: Unstoppable

As soon as he arrived at the front line, Dartney became nervous.

The heavy and murderous atmosphere brought by the battlefield was everywhere, causing him to look around reflexively.

The cavalry advocates attacking, and their advantages are long-range raids and charging into battle. They are either attacking or on the way to attack. During the march, all soldiers are used to looking around.

Like a bird, keep your sights focused on your surroundings at all times.

Datney felt a little heavy.

The front-line prisoner camps were even simpler, with a wooden fence on the top of the hill and several hide tents set up inside. The seriously injured recovered in the tents, while the slightly injured or ordinary prisoners rested on the spot.

The patrols of the cat people have become extremely frequent. Both men and women have swords on their waists and carry bows and arrows. Their rich experience can be seen from their cross-deployment and control of the terrain.

"Stop looking and come help."

A voice urged.

Dartney replied hastily.

The one who called him was Banu, who had been caught while digging a hole and trying to escape from prison.

He lost his left leg, but the Yao people gave him a new prosthetic leg. The prosthetic leg was made of brass and iron, and its appearance was no different from a normal leg, except that it made a creaking sound when he walked.

Bhanu likes it very much.

He would slap the leg like a weapon, or kick it to send rocks flying and break saplings.

"Apart from anything else, the Yao clan's medical methods are truly amazing... Although I can't feel flesh and blood with this prosthetic limb, it's just as flexible and has a stronger combat capability than my original leg."

Datney was very curious and asked why the Yao people would install such an expensive and sophisticated device for him.

Not long ago, Banu was a jailbreaker who was held in solitary confinement and under close surveillance.

"I made a deal with them."

"You betrayed the cavalry?"

"Fuck you, you bullshit! New soldier, watch your words! I may not be a big shot, but I am a veteran who has experienced three wars. Even if I can't win, I won't betray my own people!"

Bhanu glares at him.

Dartney felt a little guilty: "What happened before was an accident... I didn't intend to betray you."

"Forget it, it's all in the past. You look so cowardly, you don't seem to have the courage to do it."

Banu patted his bronze legs, making a clanging sound.

"I got this leg by teaching them the written language of the Cavalry. I also worked as a messenger in the Military Academy for a while... The Yao people are really fast learners."

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

Those guys are the cavalry prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp.

It is not easy to communicate with them.

At first, Dartney suffered a series of setbacks. No one paid any attention to him, or he was ridiculed.

Later, it was Banu who taught him not to talk to them in public, but to pull them out one by one to talk alone. Otherwise, even if the cavalrymen wanted to surrender in their hearts, they would not obey openly because of their position as soldiers.

“That’s how we got here.”

Banu kicked a stone and said, "It's always better if fewer people die. I hope most of them can join us and return to the Benqi Army in the end."

This surprised Dartney.

The implication of this was that Banu had already determined that the Ben Cavalry Army would undoubtedly be defeated.

"Isn't it obvious? New soldier, where are we?"

Dartney looked around.

This is a long and narrow cape with flat and direct sea on both sides. The cape extends all the way to the place where the kingdom of the Benqi Army descends in front.

"You still don't understand? It seems that you really haven't fought any battles."

Banu waved a branch and said impatiently: "When the war started, this cape was quickly occupied by our army. Our army has been advancing to the hinterland, but now the position has been lost. This means that our front line has been pushed back. Do you understand?"

Dartney was puzzled: "But this doesn't mean we lose, right?"

"The cavalry 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 do you protect your head with your fists?”

“It’s not necessarily that there is no solution.”

An old cavalry soldier with a bandage on his head joined the discussion: "According to the previous battle situation, two of our apostles were killed, which means that there are still two apostles who can fight. If we can use Lady Neferi's magic to summon the Mountain Python, and then have Lord Lumedis lead the main force of the Ash Warriors to break through the defense line, we may be able to turn the tide of the battle."

“Too difficult.”

Another person said: "The Yao tribe is fighting with us, but there is only one "joint army" on the front line. The main "peacekeeping force" has not taken any action so far... The Second Cavalry Battalion I was in had more than half of its troops killed before I was injured and captured. We have to rely on new recruits to replenish our forces. A lot of soldiers have been killed."

"Their wooden monsters have not been fully deployed yet, and there are assassins like the one who assassinated Falbert. If there are still a few, the safety of the Apostles will also be a problem. Perhaps only if Lord Ben shows his divine power can there be a chance to reverse the situation... But the enemy also has gods."

"Perhaps we can consider a surprise attack...but the casualty rate will be very high and the risk is also great."

"What about the sea operation? Is there any chance?"

"It's too difficult. There are fish people in the water, and red-skinned people are very flexible in the water... There are more uncertainties in the sea, and it may even be an area where the Yao tribe has set traps."

…

Those participating in the discussion were all veterans, and the more they talked, the more silent they became.

Seeing them like this, Dartney also truly realized that the cavalry was indeed in an extremely unfavorable quagmire. The enemy was like an unstoppable beast, just taking a step and rolling towards them.

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

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

Dartney was no stranger to this kind of monster.

A large number of bamboo people can be combined into a giant beast. After being injured, they can quickly disperse, break up into small pieces, and escape as guerrillas, which gives the Ben Cavalry Army a lot of headaches.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

But the bamboo beast in front of him was too big. It was like a moving meat mountain bull, with a thick and broad back and a strong torso. Every step it took caused the ground to shake slightly.

Just the sight of it passing by made Danit tremble with fear.

Following this armored giant bull, a bamboo beast that looked like a multi-legged scorpion followed from behind. One after another, these oversized monsters that had never been seen before walked past the prisoner-of-war camp and headed straight for the cavalry troops at the front line.

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

"It's over. It's all over."

"Their main force has finally arrived. The ones before were not the strongest."

"Please hold on, Lady Neferi and Lady Lumedis..."

"Oh, how the hell do I fight this..."

Dartney looked ahead.

Bamboo towers were built on the backs and shoulders of those giant bamboo beasts, and bamboo birds took off from them. They invaded the territory of the Ben Cavalry Army from the air and occupied the airspace.

There were also an endless stream of sky lanterns in the back. They were suspended in the air, emitting different colors of fire with different glass covers, becoming signal buoys of the Yao clan in the air.

Then, a neatly arranged array of strange chariots emerged from the woods.

They had animal heads made of copper or iron, with large amounts of white mist coming out of their heads. The iron bodies were tall and solid, and the high roofs were covered with coarse cloth, so it was hard to see what was inside. The iron wheels of the chariots rolled over the leaves and mud on the ground, leaving deep ruts.

It was the first time that Datney had seen a chariot that was not driven by a beast.

Traveling along with the iron chariot was a group of brown clay warriors. They were tall and calm, with their eyes straight ahead, like a group of emotionless killers.

Dutney found the highest position and tried to see what was happening on the front line in the distance.

Due to the distance, he could only vaguely see that the bamboo beasts were wreaking havoc and trampling the battlefield, the bamboo birds were driving away and killing the military birds in the sky, and the giant beast cavalry phalanx and the ash warrior column on the ground were collapsing like a tide...

Especially the previous clay man army, when they appeared, it was like a hot knife cutting cold oil. Wherever they went, there was no force that could stop them. The Ben Cavalry who fought desperately fell in front of them like wheat.

The chariots finally revealed their true appearance and roared like thunder.

There are tall and gorgeous roses on the car.

Purple roses would fire fireworks, and each round of fire accompanied by petals would blow the cavalry in an area into pieces. Roses covered with blood veins would emit red light, shooting down all the cavalrymen who could not dodge in time.

Dartney trembled as he watched.

It turned out that the doctor was not exaggerating.

When the Yao clan was ready to end it, the war was already over.

In the battle line that was being defeated step by step, there was only one point that was still holding on. There was a gray snake hovering around it, still fighting with the powerful Yao clan, and it became the last bastion guarding the kingdom of God.

It was the Apostle Lady Neferi, who was using magic to block the Yao clan's advance, but the Mountain Python's body was already riddled with holes.

Dartney only felt sad and heartbroken.

Because behind Neferi, the huge cavalry kingdom was rapidly rising into the clouds.

The cavalry fled.

King Ben abandoned the warriors who were still fighting here, including his trusted apostle Neferi.

Datney had mixed feelings.

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

On the other hand, he was relieved that he would not go back and be treated as a deserter.

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