Chapter 152: Confrontation on the Hill
Two days later, near the Melcalbia Hill, the war was drawing to a close. The Seventh Legion and Rocky's mercenaries had surrounded the enemy in front of them. It seemed that it was only a matter of time to get rid of the enemy who had lost their fighting spirit.
Suddenly, countless Pegasus rushed out from behind the clouds, spreading their wings and rushing down. The momentum of thousands of horses galloping was impossible to stop.
"Shoot! Shoot quickly! Damn, he came back so quickly!"
Rocky's mercenaries and the Seventh Legion's long-range troops shot arrows randomly from the sky.
Although it was the second time they saw the Pegasus Cavalry Corps, Rocky and others still had no good solution. The Pegasus were extremely fast, and with the sun shining directly on them, the shooting was disorganized and almost fruitless.
Leading the Pegasus Cavalry Corps was the goddess of spring breeze, Diluka, with wings of dazzling light. She swung her sword and killed all the demons that stood in her way.
"Damn it, they're coming here."
Rocky held his axe tightly and stared at Diluka carefully.
Seeing Diluka approaching quickly, Rocky shouted hurriedly: "Wait a minute, I have something to say!"
Diluka did not stop: "I won't be fooled again! I already know that you are an untrustworthy demon!"
Rocky retreated quickly: "Don't be so ruthless, I have provided you with useful information after all, how about another deal?"
"Don't dream!"
"Tsk."
Rocky dodged, and a emerald green poisonous arrow shot out from behind him. Diluka blocked it with the sword in his hand. At the same time, Rocky stabbed at an angle with his axe, and Diluka dodged narrowly, with only a few strands of hair cut off.
Diluka quickly distanced herself from Rocky: "Despicable! You actually shot someone in the back."
Kalm grinned: "How can this be called despicable? War is all about using every possible means!"
"Humph!"
Diluka rushed forward again. Rocky and Kalm tried their best to resist, but the difference in strength still made them very desperate. Fortunately, the Eighth and Eleventh Legions, who had rushed to support them after discovering that their flanks had been attacked, had already joined the battle. The cavalry in the sky also gradually couldn't resist the enemy that was hundreds of times their number. Pegasus's cries of grief made Diluka temporarily give up Rocky and turn back to support her subordinates.
"Get out of the way!" Diluka jumped into the crowd and released divine power around her, clearing a large area of space in an instant.
As Diluka stood still on the battlefield, Pegasus cavalry gathered around her. Diluka stuck her sword into the ground, and a dazzling light emanated from her surroundings.
Loki realized what it was and shouted, "Get out of the way! It's a magic circle!"
But it was too late.
"Give me strength! Heroic spirits of the Nibelung!"
The light turned into stars, and the warriors who rushed up were all destroyed. After slowly dissipating, rows of fully armed knights stood in the center of the battlefield.
"What a powerful summoning technique! She can actually summon warriors in the three digits! Is this the power of the goddess!"
Loki swallowed his saliva,
but this was not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing was that these summoned soldiers who were completely made of energy could not feel pain, would not fall down if injured, and would rush forward for a distance even if their heads were separated from their bodies. Although Rocky had many people on his side, the situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant.
"Quick... retreat!" Rocky ordered.
However, Rocky, who had been targeted by the goddess for a long time, was not so easy to escape. Diluka swung her weapon and chopped down all the enemies in front of him, but Rocky was tripped by the corpses in the panic. Before Rocky could get up, Diluka came to Rocky's side and raised her long sword. Just when Rocky was desperate, a huge figure jumped into the center of the battlefield, swung a clamp forward, and a cone-shaped shadow wave was released. The knight who was hit disappeared, and the aftermath rushed towards Diluka.
"It's Marshal Zonotz! We are saved!"
Diluka jumped aside when she felt the danger and stuck her sword into the ground. A new row of heroes appeared again.
"Akakakakaka!" Zonotz looked at her angrily and swung his huge pliers again. Diluka kept dodging and got closer and closer to him.
Rocky breathed a sigh of relief and survived. Rocky learned the language of the Faceless Man. Zonotz seemed to be saying, "Little goddess, leave your body?"
Zonotz rushed towards Diluka with his pliers. Diluka folded her wings and dodged, raised the sword in her hand, and the sword in her hand emitted a bright light. Zonotz's pliers were cut into two pieces at once.
"Loyalty sword. Nibelung root cuts off all evil!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Zonoz covered his broken arm in pain, the power of shadow all over his body, and rushed towards Diluka angrily. Diluka, who was flying in the air, dodged easily.
However, Zonoz's target was the newly summoned knights, but Diluka was prepared and used the same trick again, and Zonoz's other pincer was also cut off.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Zonoz's eyes were red, and his two broken arms sprayed black liquid, splashing Pegasus' wings and burning them, and splashing the summoned knights, melting their armor. Even Diluka couldn't dodge and her skin was corroded.
"You are indeed an evil creature! You must be destroyed!"
Diluka dodged the black blood and tried to kill Zonoz, but Zonoz suddenly smiled at her, and his broken left claw suddenly grew out and hit Diluka in the abdomen.
"Ah!" Diluka spat out a mouthful of blood. She stuck her sword into the ground and prepared to summon it again. A strong shadow force rushed towards her. She drew out her sword and flew up. The place where she had just stood had been smashed into a deep pit by the shadow force.
"Oops!"
While Diluka was fighting Zonoz, her Pegasus Corps had been divided and surrounded by the newly arrived troops. Seeing the tragic situation on the battlefield, Diluka had no choice but to retreat unwillingly.
"Huh, finally gone."
Rocky wiped the sweat off his face, the joy of surviving a disaster climbed up his cheeks. This was the second time he experienced this feeling, and it was really bad. Richard said that it was a once and a twice, but not a third time. I hope there won't be a third time.
Although the hill was finally occupied, the losses were very heavy. The Seventh and Eighth Corps lost more than half of their personnel, and the Eleventh Corps lost one-third of its personnel. Rocky's mercenaries were almost wiped out, and Zonoz was also seriously injured. It would be difficult for him to go into battle again without a period of recuperation.
In the temporary staff room, Vashj was reading a book, and Primadis was frowning in front of a topographic map. There was a sand table in front of the topographic map, and the flags on the hills had been replaced with the Sixth Legion and the Twelfth Legion.
"Zonoz! She is a goddess after all, how can you underestimate the enemy?"
