Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 658 - 61: Large-Scale Battle Victory_2

This was spreading like a plague, rapidly expanding among the human cavalry. The so-called zombie spread and biological crisis were no more than this.

The only shortcoming is that the enslavement of the Royal Court only lasts for 160 seconds, less than three minutes.

If the human cavalry were willing to retreat slightly and exploit their mobility advantage, both the Star Warriors and the Royal Court's enslavement would dissipate over time.

But humans, at this moment, were already filled with rage. Even if the casualties were heavy and they bore immense pressure, they were determined to clear the defenses of the Golden Pansy Domain.

Both sides fought to the death, the living suffered.

The battle was fierce, the Golden Pansy Domain held the line stubbornly, blood and flesh mountains and rivers.

From noon, both sides fought until nightfall.

Thirty entire cavalry divisions of humans were lost on the front line.

The Human Marshal Hosta, amidst the shock, also felt a sincere admiration as he gazed upon the mountain of corpses and sea of blood on the front line and sighed, "Blood and flesh mountains and rivers are not unique to our kind! The resilience of this enemy force is astonishing."

At this moment, the Judge of the Human Religious Court, Marus, approached Hosta, looked at the astonished Hosta, and disdainfully said, "I told you that letting an old guy like you be the Marshal of the allied army was not a wise choice. We have already routed the Demon Army, marching towards the Oakland Fortress, and yet you, leading an absolutely elite division, are stuck in front of a mere Explorer!"

Hosta angrily turned his head, looking at the sinister Marus. He always disdained this Judge of the Religious Court, considering him ambitious and crafty, suspecting he would launch a conspiracy against the Human Empire sooner or later.

The two had been at loggerheads for over a decade, and now seeing Marus mocking again here, Hosta immediately roared, "A mere Explorer? Can an ordinary Explorer obtain the Eye of Light? Can hold the line for so long on the battlefield of three races?"

"Old fool, stop making so many excuses for your incompetence!" Marus coldly scolded, "I don't care how strong they are, I only know the current situation is, their presence has severely hindered our Imperial Army's deployment and coordination. If your right flank can't keep up, our main force gets surrounded by demons and undead, leading to a tragic defeat, you'd be the biggest culprit in this battle."

"Am I incompetent?" Hosta angrily said, "I was leading troops when your grandfather was still a bug! Do I need you to teach me how to fight? If you think I'm incompetent, holding back the army, you fight here yourself!"

Marus scoffed, saying, "It's time for you stubborn knights to learn with your muscle-filled brains how we in the Religious Court fight!"

"Old fool, if we conquer this place, you'd better have some dignity, go to His Majesty and offer your resignation. Take your stubborn and outdated ideas and retire to the countryside!"

Hosta wished he could personally cut off this bastard's head but had to suppress his anger, knowing Marus deserved to be punished, but the young men under his command, elite of the empire, shouldn't die in vain.

Hosta, holding back his anger, said, "This troop is extremely resilient and possesses numerous strategic treasures. We haven't penetrated their core circle yet. If you are careless and underestimate them, many innocent soldiers will die tragically."

Marus turned contemptuously, spitting heavily on the ground, "Pah! Can't even handle a mere Explorer, yet have the face to give me advice. If I were you, I'd have no face to keep living, entomb your outdated, old-fashioned thoughts. Watch how we in the Religious Court fight!"

Marus's reckless intervention in the battle greatly changed the formation of the human army, giving the forces of the Golden Pansy Domain a moment's respite.

Lin Rui immediately seized the opportunity to open the continuous system prompts.

A victory at the scale of a major battle! How many units of demons fell?

I only participated in one battle, in an inconspicuous corner, held the line and got involved in a part of the battleground, yet gained so much loot.

Even got Legendary Weapons and Epic Recruitment Scrolls!

Even considering the Golden Pansy Domain's high fortune with a drop-rate bonus, the scale of this blast fall and quality of the loot is astounding!

The azure realm's demon, is this an invasion or just delivering supplies to Lin Rui?

Lin Rui first checked the attributes of the strategic treasures.

In this large-scale, intense battlefield, nothing enhances the entire army more than strategic treasures.

[Strategic Maneuver·Strategic Treasure: The mobile unit ensures our ability to form a local advantage on the vast battlefield, rigid defense only leads to defeat against large-scale enemy forces.

Before end of battle, True Damage +10, Fixed Damage Reduction +1.]

Lin Rui showed a delighted expression; both of these strategic treasures were what he urgently needed, especially suitable for the current large-scale intense battlefield!

The description of Strategic Maneuver fits well with Lin Rui's understanding of war.

The so-called war, the so-called military strategy, is about striving to create a situation on the battlefield where your side fights many against few or strong against weak.

Why is cavalry powerful? Besides their formidable combat power, their greatest asset is mobility, allowing them to work with allies to fight many against few in a particular area.

The famous anvil and hammer tactics, with the cavalry working with the infantry to fight many against few, attacking the enemy from both sides.

In war, maneuvering is the key to victory.

In prior battles, the two sides slaughtered each other fiercely on the frontline, turning it into a meat grinder on the Red River Plain.

With tens of thousands dying in a day, this was an extremely harsh result for both sides.

And the foundation and comprehensive strength of the Golden Pansy Domain is undoubtedly weaker, making it unsuitable for continuous meat grinding with the opponent.

With this Strategic Treasure: Strategic Maneuver in hand, Lin Rui felt it was time to launch a counter-offensive, to crush the enemy's offensive once!
