Chapter 681 Avalon Meat Grinder (II)
Avalon Fortress, 4th Theater (the area where the 4th Army is responsible).
The impact and roar shook the earth.
Darlene stared blankly at the scene in front of her.
Darlene participated in last year's Salomanda battle and killed several Lakers with her own hands, so Darlene considered herself to be a veteran with some experience.
At least once on the battlefield, you will no longer be at a loss.
But after the offensive and defensive battle for Avalon Fortress began, Darlene realized that she was so wrong!
Compared with the current fortress offensive and defensive battle, last year's Salomanda battle was nothing like a battlefield.
Compared with the current fortress offensive and defensive battle, the battle in Salomanda was like a child's fight.
Darlene is still an infantryman. As an infantryman, she naturally stands on the outer city wall where the battle is the fiercest and bloodiest.
Standing on the outer city wall, Xilan's army launched an attack, and Darlene finally realized what a real battlefield is.
Huge boulders and giant arrows kept flying overhead.
The shouts of killing are endless.
As far as the eye could see, there were only reflective iron tools and splattered blood.
Darlene saw with her own eyes a huge boulder swooping down from the sky like a carnivorous beast and hitting a soldier next to Darlene.
The soldier didn't even have time to scream, before the soldier was crushed.
Darlene didn't even react until the Hiran people drove the ladders to the city wall and started climbing on the wall.
"This is a battlefield! Why are you so stunned!"
At this moment, a familiar roar sounded in Darlene's ears.
Darlene looked around blankly and saw her squadron leader, Lindsay, glaring at her with an angry face.
Lindsay's armor and face were splattered with a lot of blood, and the sword in her hand was still bleeding. She must have killed many enemies.
"Sober up!" Lindsay yelled at Darlene, "Are you a recruit who has seen blood for the first time? Come on, cheer up!"
After saying that, Lindsay stopped talking to Darlene, turned around and left, running towards the battlefield where the fighting was the fiercest.
Lindsay's shout finally woke Darlene up.
After all, Darlene was also a soldier who participated in the Salomanda battle last year, so she quickly recovered from this tragic and bloody battlefield.
She straightened up the spear in her hand and ran towards a ladder not far in front of her.
The ladder was surrounded by many of her comrades, who were working together to destroy the ladder.
It's a pity that many Xilan Army soldiers have climbed up the city wall along the ladder. These Xilan Army soldiers who have climbed onto the city wall guard the ladder with all their might.
Don't let any soldiers of the Knights of Michael get close.
Darlene approached a Hiran soldier.
Unlike the soldiers of the Britannia Empire who wore black armor, the soldiers of the Holy Hiran Empire all wore white armor.
Because the colors of each other's armors were different, it was relatively easy to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Darlene only had to look for the soldiers wearing white armor.
Spearmanship is also a compulsory course for the infantry of the Britannia Empire Army, and Darlene is still somewhat confident in her marksmanship.
Darlene drew her gun and stabbed the Xilan soldier.
But who would have known—the Xilan Army soldier Darlene found also had good fighting skills.
The Hiran Army soldier nimbly dodged and avoided Darlene's stab.
While avoiding Darlene's thrust, he casually cut Darlene's spear into two pieces with a wave of his sword.
Darlene's reaction was also very fast. After seeing her spear being cut off, she immediately threw the half-length spear in her hand, pulled out the sword from her waist and slashed at the Xilan Army soldier.
clang!
Darlene's sword collided heavily with that of the Hiran soldier.
Metal rubbed against metal, making a high-pitched noise that could almost burst one's eardrums.
Darlene wrestled with the Hiran soldier.
At this moment, Darlene was surprised to discover——
This Xilan Army soldier, who is relatively strong, is actually not as strong as her!
After realizing that she was still slightly better if she tried her best, Darlene took a deep breath and stepped firmly on the masonry ground beneath her feet.
The power spread from Darlene's legs to Darlene's waist, and finally to Darlene's arms.
With a sudden force, Darlene flicked the Xilan soldier's sword away.
The moment after she flicked the Xilan Army soldier's sword away, Darlene caught the moment when the Xilan Army soldier's posture was broken by her, adjusted the blade of the sword, and aimed the tip of the sword at the Xilan Army soldier. The soldier's heart was stabbed hard.
Under Darlene's astonishingly powerful thrust, even with the protection of the armor, the heart of the Xilan Army soldier was still pierced through by Darlene.
After the Xilan Army soldier struggled slightly for a few times, his eyes lost their luster.
After killing the Xilan Army soldier, Darlene twisted the sword and opened the muscles that tightly clamped her sword due to the severe pain. Darlene took out her sword.
When he drew out his sword, an arrow of warm blood spurted out from the wound of the Xilan Army soldier and splashed onto Darlene's face.
After Darlene wiped the blood from her face, she pounced on the next enemy.
Since Su Cheng took over the leadership of the Knights of Michael, he has pursued the "strategy of elite soldiers" and proactively reduced the size of the Knights, reducing the total size of the Knights of Michael from an estimated 200,000 to 120,000.
The funds and supplies that could originally be used to support 200,000 people are now only used to support 120,000 troops.
Thanks to Su Cheng's "elite strategy", the food of the soldiers of the Michael Knights is much better now because of the more abundant funds.
The benefits of Su Cheng's implementation of this "elite strategy" are fully demonstrated at this moment.
Due to the improvement of food, the physical fitness of the soldiers of the Michael Knights has improved a lot.
The phenomenon of wrestling with the soldiers of the Hilan Army like Darlene just now is happening everywhere on the city wall.
The ladders of the Hilan Army are constantly being pushed down, and then new ladders are constantly being put up.
In order to prevent the Hilan Army soldiers from putting up the ladders, many soldiers of the Michael Knights standing on the city wall threw stones and boiling water down to the city.
The Hilan Army soldiers who were hit by stones and boiling water all screamed horribly.
In order to prevent the soldiers of the Knights of Michael from interfering with their ladder construction, the crossbowmen of the Hilan Army below provided cover fire for their infantry, aiming at the soldiers of the Knights of Michael who leaned out from the city wall to destroy the ladder or throw stones and boiling water down the city wall.
In order to protect their comrades, the crossbowmen standing on the inner city wall also shot arrows at the Hilan Army soldiers under the outer city wall.
The tug-of-war on the outer city wall was deadlocked for a while.
