Chapter 42
Chi~ Chi~
A strange voice echoed. It was as if metal was slicing through metal. The infantry soldiers felt very uncomfortable listening to that voice. However, everything happened too quickly and they could not understand what was happening.
But, the infantry soldiers stopped moving forward as soon as the sound stopped. The eyes of the infantry soldiers in the vanguard had an overwhelming fear in them. It was as if they had seen a ghost during the day. Their eyeballs almost protrude out of their sockets.
Their intuition tells them that their bodies are completely different now. It was as if they had lost something but were unable to understand what they had lost.
After which, they felt their bodies become light and fall forward. Moreover, they felt as if their waists remained in the same place. Only their upper bodies fell.
Ah~ Ah~
Screams echoed through the gates as if the infantry warriors were looking at the demons. The vanguard, consisting of 10 infantry soldiers, was cut in half. Only two infantry soldiers survived and the reason was because the blades were not wide enough to cover the entire 10-man formation.
However, the formation lost its role due to the loss. The soldiers who were on the ground started howling in a tragic manner. The infantry soldiers lost the spirit to fight when they saw the scene before them.
Most of the soldiers who went to the battlefield only thought of taking the enemy's life and achieving glory. Rarely did a soldier imagine that they would be killed on the battlefield. However, the nerves of the soldiers collapsed the moment they saw the tragic death before them.
Slicing someone in half from the waist up was a brutal punishment in ancient times. Most of the organs essential for humans to survive are in the upper body. That is why when the person is split into two people it remains alive and conscious for a good time before death.
The infantry soldiers in the rearguard saw what happened to their comrades. The picture was left in their minds. Some of them have mental disorders because they know that what will be cut is them.
The battlefield is always bloody but you rarely see such massacres. At most, the head of the soldier would be decapitated and that person would die on the spot.
Moreover, the heavy infantry warriors would never have thought that their waists would be cut because of their heavy armor and shield. Even a powerful warrior who cultivated battle energy would face hardship if he wanted to cut off a heavy infantryman.
But the Glaive Thrower could do it very easily.
Heavy infantry armor and armor were very thick but relative to light infantry armor. If the armor and shield were made of iron then only a few could move on the battlefield.
Their shields were very strong but not made of iron. If it is made of iron it weighs about 300 to 400 kilograms. You must have immense strength to move with them, let alone against enemies.
Heavy infantry shields are actually made of wood. The shield surface is coated with metal and copper spikes that cannot be penetrated by conventional weapons— but the Glaive Thrower is not a conventional weapon.
His blade was able to slice through the first row and pierce through the waist of the infantry soldier in the second row. His blade could not break through the waist of the second row of infantry soldiers but the painful howls of those people were much worse than those that were actually cut.
They had no time to recover as the grunts quickly inserted the second blade into the Glaive Thrower.
Chi~ Chi~
The same voice echoed again as two more rows of heavy infantry warriors were cut from their waists.
Xiao Yu had placed six Glaive Throwers at the city gate. As a result, they had three rows of 2 Glaive Throwers. The grunts would immediately grab the Glaive Thrower and pull them back to replenish their swords while the other two prepared to fire. It was a quick and intensive way to bombard heavy infantry troops.
The blades flew out and cut the infantry warriors into various shapes. Blood and internal organs splashed and splashed everywhere.
The heavy infantrymen panicked. They knew that if they advanced, they would face death.
The gate was narrow so there was nowhere to run to hide. Armor and shield could not hold the sword. So they could only scream in panic and try to retreat.
Mages in formations could pose a threat to the Glaive Thrower, but mages needed protection from the front for him to chant spells.
The witch saw the infantry soldier in front of her fall. He also panicked and could not cast a magic spell.
The only thing that reverberated in the minds of the heavy infantry was— "back off!" They want to get away from the terrible weapons that do not belong to this world, but hell.
"It won't be easy to escape." Xiao Yu looked at the infantry soldier with a satisfied smile on his face. The Glaive Thrower was an incredible weapon!
"Use Destroyer." Xiao Yu waved and the soldiers and slaves of the Black Iron Tribe began to adjust the crushers.
The heavy infantry could survive the sword attack but not from the stones thrown at them. Even their helmets would be flat when rocks hit their heads.
Bang~ Bang~ Bang~
Countless stones fell. Heavy infantry troops near the gates have been directly targeted. Due to the phalanx formation, they could not dodge or fight against the rocks. Countless infantry troops fell to never stand up again.
The infantry soldiers thought they were going to face the Orcs. If they really fought against the Orcs then they would cut them like knives into butter. But Xiao Yu was not stupid; he would not face them with a grunt. He understood his plan and acted accordingly. He knew that most of his grunts had reached level 3, and some of them were even at level 4. But it would be very difficult for their giant axe to destroy their shield or armor. Moreover, when ten shields were used in the formation to protect those on the side, the difficulty of passing through such a formation was at least doubled. That was why Xiao Yu knew that he would suffer great losses if he used the Spartan approach to deal with the heavy infantry.
The point was that Xiao Yu did not plan on using grunts to deal with the heavy infantry from the start. Who will play the game he knows he will lose?
It would not be a problem if the grunts faced one heavy infantry soldier on the battlefield. The grunts could rely on their strength to kill them. However, the formations set up by the infantry warriors were a different matter, so Xiao Yu had no intention of letting out a grunt against the other party. He has played World of Warcraft and knows that he has to hold the enemy's arm.
Initially, it would indeed be very difficult to deal with heavy infantry. He would need a mage to attack with fire and use explosions to break up the formation. However, his Archmage was not good at using fire but rather ice. The Cone of the Cold was not yet good enough to pierce through heavy infantry armor.
The Glaive Throwers and Demolishers were weapons that solved his problem.
“First group! Shoot it! Second group! Prepare! Shoot it!" Xiao Yu ordered the shooters who were focusing on the gate to shoot at the enemy. He had divided the dwarves into 4 groups of 25 people. They will shoot in turn. Although the bullet was not as good as fire magic but achieved the effect he wanted. Heavy infantry armor is very thick. Some places can block a bullet (in this case an iron ball) but some places are weak and cannot stop it.
Due to intense shelling, bullets would often hit these weak spots in the armor and eventually claimed the lives of the enemy.
Glaive Throwers, Demolishers, and riflemen.The three long-range weapon combinations were enough to finish off Carrie's heavy infantry troops.
“Too boring... He only has this much ability and dare to mess with me.” Xiao Yu sat in his chair and continued to drink red wine.
