The charge led by the general made Crowland's soldiers excited. They never thought that they would meet such a brave general who could rush to the front line to save ordinary soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers have simple ideas. They don't like to hear "Come on me" but prefer to hear "Follow me."
All the soldiers, officers, and everyone climbed out of the trenches and rushed to the second trench with roars.
In a trench, three Crowland soldiers were besieging a horror beast.
Three spears stabbed at the Terror Beast at the same time. The Terror Beast used its superb fighting instincts to sweep the soldiers behind it to the ground with its tail. Then it turned its head and bit the shaft of a spear, only one of which stabbed it.
The soldier was too weak. Even if the tip of the spear completely penetrated the body of the horror beast, the damage would not be too great. The horror beast suddenly exerted force and bit off the spear in its mouth, pounced forward, and knocked down a soldier.
Just when it was about to bite the soldier's head into pieces, two gunshots were fired, and the huge head of the horror beast pressed down on the soldier with blood pouring out.
Looking up in the direction of the gunfire, two panting soldiers were looking at them excitedly above the trench.
"I... we launched a counterattack... Brothers, we are here to support you."
Before the soldiers in the trenches were excited for long, a green venom shot a soldier in the trenches, which happened to hit his face. Soon, as his screams became smaller and smaller, his head was corroded until only his skull was left.
"I (expletive)" The soldiers in the trench became angry. One of them pulled the people down from the trench, and the other took the magic crystal bomb from his body and threw it outside.
Soon there was an explosion, minced meat began to rain in the trench, and a venom-spraying arthropod fell in front of everyone.
Compared with ordinary soldiers, the counterattack team led by John is much smoother. The high-level Knight's Psionics slash can effectively kill the approaching horror beasts, and the long-range venom beasts can also be dealt with with magic crystal guns and grenades.
The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and John used his long sword to chop off the head of the last terrifying beast in front of him. He raised his head and looked around, seeing gunpowder smoke, war flames, blood and corpses filling the trenches.
Most of the survivors were humans. They not only blocked the Swarm of the Association but also annihilated them. This was a miraculous victory and the glory of human courage.
Seeing the light of the sensor stone in her hand getting weaker and weaker, Joanna's mood became more and more depressed.
One hundred thousand Swarm cannot break through a human defense line, and this is the defense line of the cowardly Crowlanders!
According to common sense, the combat power ratio between Swarm and the Highlanders is one to three. One hundred thousand Swarm can defeat three hundred thousand Highlanders. How come the reality before us is so different from the past!
It wasn't just Joanna. Jonathan was also surprised. He opened his mouth and was stunned for a minute, and only said one sentence, "General John will take credit for his first merit. The rewards of all surviving soldiers will be doubled, and the pensions of those who died will be doubled again."
John, who was eating and resting in the trench, was listening to the reports from his men. After counting the number of soldiers, he only had less than 40,000 of his 150,000 soldiers left, and basically all of these 40,000 soldiers were injured.
At this time, a communications mage with a head injury ran over in a hurry, "General, the enemy is attacking again!"
"Asshole! You're going so fast without letting anyone take a break. How many magic crystal shells do we still have?"
"Tell me, General, we can still fight five or six rounds."
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, John said, "Go to the magic crystal cannon position and stay there. When you see those monsters swamping us, when they are most dense and concentrated, let the gunners fire all the shells here."
"General!" The communication mage's eyes widened, not knowing what to say.
"Go ahead. I'm an ordinary person. I'm as capable as a staff officer. I don't know why, but somehow I became an adjutant, and even more mysteriously, I became a general."
Speaking of the emotional part, John looked around and saw that many corpses had not been cleaned up yet, and the blood covered the soles of his shoes.
"Too many of my brothers have died here, and I don't want them to be too lonely."
Hearing John's determination from his words, the communication mage felt a little sore at the corners of his eyes.
He stood at attention and saluted John with a military salute, then immediately turned around and left, fearing that he would not be able to control his emotions if he moved slower.
This attack was launched by Joanna's orders from the associations Swarm on both sides, but their command and coordination were much worse.
They were obviously asked to dispatch together, but the result was that the 70,000 Swarm on the right wing were already crossing a hilly area in the center of the battlefield, and the Swarm on the left wing had just taken action.
Suddenly, the 70,000 Swarm in front were attacked. This attack was another cavalry charge with Behemoth as the tip of the spear. The cavalry was mainly composed of 20,000 Altia Empire Knight and 30,000 Highlander cavalry.
The military literacy of ordinary Astrologers' Association members is not very high, and they did not send out reconnaissance troops.
When a large number of human cavalry bypassed the hill and rushed into the association Swarm through a blind spot, the association commander commanding from a distance could not even hear the sound of the cavalry running.
The cavalry charge from high to low drowned a large number of Swarm like an unstoppable avalanche. The most outstanding one was Behemoth. It rolled itself into a ball and rolled down the high slope like a snowball.
Its claws were still held at its sides, and its high-speed rotating claws took away a large number of Association Swarm's lives like a meat grinder.
"Sir Cam, can you let your flying insects support Ymir and the others? I'm worried that even if they have the advantage of charging first, they still can't compete with Swarm's strange strength and tenacity."
After the cavalry entered the battle, Jonathan immediately asked Cam.
"No problem, soon those defects Swarm will feel the death falling from the sky." Cam was in a very happy mood. "You are an excellent commander, and you did a good job catching the fighter plane just now."
"To the enemy, the battlefield is full of fog. To me, everything is clear. If I can't seize the opportunity, then I should die to apologize."
After saying this, Jonathan put on his helmet. He assembled the remaining 30,000 Altia Empire Knight and 20,000 Highlander cavalry, ready to enter the battlefield at any time.
The flying insects soaring in the blue sky quickly began to swoop down. This time they threw boulders towards the association Swarm, but they were specially prepared round boulders.
The huge inertia brought the round boulder down from high altitude and ran over Association Swarm, leaving several blood-red tracks on the ground. Such a blow not only killed Association Swarm, but also prevented them from gathering together, using their numerical advantage to drag the human cavalry into consumption.
The Venom Beast, which can attack from a distance, tried to attack the flying insects in the sky, but then found that the venom it shot could not catch up with the rapidly diving and climbing flying insects.
The thick carapace of flying insects is not afraid even if it is splashed with a little venom. A carapace that can withstand the high temperature of sonic flight cannot be burned through by such venom.
