Chapter 477: 465 Mysterious Army_1

This situation was definitely unusual, and it looked like these guys had been dead for a while.

However, Otto did not think that the Crimson Empress would waste her time and resources to send a bunch of corpses to the battlefield.

Perhaps, this was some sort of special army prepared by the Crimson Empress.

Since he couldn’t figure it out, he decided to test the waters first!

So, under Otto’s guidance, Gaz sent some advance troops to engage in a simple confrontation with the Eastern Empire’s troops.

Because both sides were still relatively restrained, the clash was not too big, and after leaving behind some casualties, they both retreated.

On the surface, the Eastern Empire’s losses seemed heavier compared to Otto’s side.

The Floating Cities belonging to both sides remained suspended in the air, motionless, as they faced off against each other.

But Otto was not satisfied with this result, because he did not see any movement from the special army.

Therefore, after a brief collection of the fallen comrades, Otto requested Gaz to launch a larger scale probing attack.

As expected, a small-scale battle broke out between the two sides again, and this time it lasted much longer.

By the time the sun set and the day passed, both sides finally withdrew to their own formations.

In this clash, the Eastern Empire suffered heavy casualties, but unfortunately, there was still no sign of them using their special forces.

Frankly, Otto was getting impatient, and it seemed like the Eastern Empire would not use their special forces unless the situation escalated.

It looked like they’d have to play some big moves tomorrow.

Perhaps sensing Otto’s intentions, the Eastern Empire’s camp was not as calm as usual tonight.

At this point, everyone from top to bottom was prepared for a decisive battle, and a mysterious figure shrouded in a dark cloak quietly approached the mysterious army sitting on the ground.

Through the wide and shadowy hood, one could catch a glimpse of a pair of fierce, beast-like eyes shimmering with an eerie glow in the darkness.

Early the next morning, a deafening roar erupted from Otto’s side of the army.

Following that, Gaz rode on the back of a Warg, personally leading nearly half of the army in a mad charge towards the Eastern Empire.

However, the Eastern Empire was well prepared, and the neatly arranged shield bearers formed a wall-like formation at the front.

In the center of the massive intersecting shields were sharp, sturdy spears poking out.

Before the two sides even clashed, the long-range soldiers from both sides began bombarding each other with firepower.

The Eastern Empire’s archers tirelessly repeated drawing their bows and setting arrows, while the ballistae in the back continually launched thick, specially crafted arrows.

Meanwhile, in their most heavily protected area, a small number of spellcasters prepared various war spells.

Soon, visibly enshrouded by a special energy, the Eastern Empire soldiers were protected by the spellcasters’ masterpiece.

This spell could greatly stabilize the soldiers’ mental state and leave a thin layer of magical protection on their bodies.

Though the protective effect against various attacks was limited, it was better than nothing.

On the other side of the battlefield, Gaz led the monstrous army in a furious charge.

Leading the charge were either wolf cavalry or centaurs and minotaurs.

Further behind were ground lizards or desert giant bears ridden by lizardmen and other long-range soldiers.

A large lizard mount could carry five lizardmen, or even more, and were compatible with the majority of monstrous races.

These special lizard cavalry not only had a large number of lizardman spear throwers and other long-range soldiers, but also carried many shamans and other spellcasters.

War spells were not exclusive to the Eastern Empire.

The giant lizards’ backs provided ample space for spellcasters of various monstrous races to perform their rituals.

Unsettling magical energy filled the charging horde, making the monsters’ eyes glow red, appearing even more crazed and charging with greater speed under the influence of this magical power.

Arrow rain and thrown spears collided in the air, with lives being extinguished either during the charge or while waiting their turn.

High up in the air, Otto watched with cold detachment as the two long lines collided below, the smell of blood and the aura of killing rising to the skies, seemingly darkening the atmosphere.

Compared to what happened yesterday, the events unfolding now could only be described as a minor skirmish.

Initially, the Eastern Empire’s combined forces of shield bearers and spear men, forming a special wall, indeed posed some trouble for Gaz and his forces.

The wolf cavalry was not very effective against this type of opponent, even if they tried to leap over the wall, they were greeted by a dense formation of long spears.

When they witnessed several hot-headed soldiers being impaled like candied haws on the long spears, Gaz led the wolf cavalry to bypass the enemy line.

Following that, stubborn minotaurs lowered their heads and charged like heavy war chariots towards the wall of shields lined with spears.

Already battle-hungry, the minotaurs became even more bloodthirsty and unafraid of death with the support of the shaman spells.

During the rapid charge, the sharp spears mercilessly pierced their bodies, while simultaneously, the solid, thick shield wall was forced open by them, creating multiple gaps.

At this moment, Gaz led the wolf cavalry back into the fray, quickly infiltrating the gaps, and attempting to widen and maintain these openings as much as possible.

Eastern Empire forces tried to reform their formation in desperation, but a large amount of chimeras and wyverns attacking from the sky scattered their focus.

Explosions and breath attacks targeted the Eastern Empire’s rear, focusing on their ranged attackers.

Soon, heavy infantry such as ogres, trolls, and quilboar broke through the gap created by minotaurs and wolf cavalry and crowded into the Eastern Empire’s formation.

Simultaneously, they dismantled the entire shield wall from all four directions, leaving the Eastern Empire’s defenses in disarray.

With the loss of their shield bearers, the Eastern Empire’s front line began to crumble, and if they had no other countermeasures, the battle would come to an end.

The Soaring Dragon Legion had made a good start, and Angelina, stationed in the rear, raised her head and lifted her long spear high.

At her command, a large mixed army of people from Vide, Black Iron Dwarves, Felton, and Farrand, began advancing rapidly towards the center of the battlefield.
