866 The start of the war (1)
Zhao Hai was standing on the city wall of shanru city. The defensive shield of shanru city had been activated. All the armies were already everywhere, and everyone was looking in the direction of the cult of light.
The way they acted as if they were facing a great enemy wasnât a drill. On the contrary, they were preparing to face the enemy. Today, Cai âer told Zhao Hai that the God raceâs Army had appeared. This time, the God raceâs three armies were mainly heavy and light cavalry. There were also many infantrymen and mages. They aggressively charged toward shanru city. It seemed that they wanted to break through shanru city in one fell swoop.
It was because of this that Zhao Hai had such a reaction. The armies of the other races had been in shanru city for three days. To be honest, it was already beyond Zhao Haiâs expectations that the Protoss had not attacked for such a long time. Now that the Protoss had attacked, Zhao Hai heaved a sigh of relief.
If the gods race hadnât come to attack, they must be up to something. Now that they had come to attack, it meant that they had no other plans. They had been resting and recuperating for the past three days.
Beside Zhao Hai stood a dwarf, an elf, a warrior in heavy armor, a man dressed as a cavalryman, a few orcs, along with Li Ji, melgen, Berry, and Xu Wanying.
The people around Zhao Hai were the administrators of shanru city. Zhao Hai wanted them to see the power of the Protoss, so he led them to the city wall.
Other than them, there were also a large number of Roson Empireâs heavy infantrymen on the city wall. Although these infantrymen were usually used in the wild, they were the elites of the Roson Empire and had no problem defending the city. There were many magic cannons on the mountain-like city wall. This time, Zhao Hai did not let the undead creatures control the magic cannons. Instead, he let the heavy infantrymen do it.
Zhao Hai stood calmly on the city wall. Although the Protoss Army had yet to appear, the entire shanru city was already filled with an atmosphere that seemed like a storm was about to come. It was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The dwarf standing beside Zhao Hai looked in the direction of the Church of Light and muttered, â âWhy didnât he come? I canât wait any longer.â
Zhao Hai turned around and looked at this dwarf. This dwarf was not an elder of the dwarf race. He was a general of the dwarf race and the commander of the iron armored beast cavalry. This time, the dwarf race had sent 100000 iron armored beast cavalry. This was definitely not a small number.
When they arrived at shanru city, the dwarves began to take action. They dug many tunnels on the plains outside shanru city. These tunnels had been strictly designed by them. Ordinary people would not have any problems walking in these tunnels, and they would not collapse. However, if the heavy-armored cavalrymen of the celestial race walked in these tunnels, it would be troublesome. The tunnels would definitely not be able to withstand the weight of the heavy-armored cavalrymen, and the heavy-armored cavalrymen would definitely fall into them. The dwarves had already set up an ambush in the tunnel. As long as the heavy cavalrymen fell in, the dwarves would treat them well. In the special environment of the tunnel, the combat power of the dwarves could be maximized.
âWhatâs the matter, Beck?â Zhao Hai laughed,âare you getting impatient?â Donât worry, theyâll be here soon.â
The dwarf smiled at Zhao Hai and said, â âThatâs right. Iâm really anxious. I want to see whatâs so great about those guys from the gods race. Itâs my good fortune to be able to help you this time. You donât know this, but the people in the race must have heard my words and chosen to help you. The other battle generals almost fought with me.â
âHahaha!â Zhao Hai laughed,âdo you regret coming here this time? The war is about to begin, and people die in a war. Beck, tell everyone to be careful.â
Becker nodded. &Quot; donât worry, elder. Weâve been prepared for this. The dwarves wonât die for sure. &Quot;
As soon as Beck finished speaking, an orc said in a deep voice, â &Quot; well said. We beastmen arenât afraid of death. Your Highness, when will you let us attack? â
Zhao Hai smiled and said, â donât worry. You guys will fight the war. Donât worry. Todayâs performance will mainly be between the elves and the dwarves. However, you must also be prepared to attack at any time. Remember, you guys are all long-range attackers, especially the elves. The enemyâs cavalry is not weak either. &Quot;
The elf standing on the city wall was a male elf. He had an extremely handsome face and always had a cold expression. Hearing Zhao Haiâs words, he nodded his head and said,âElder, donât worry. The elves arenât afraid of death.â
Zhao Hai sighed and said in a deep voice, â I know that none of you are afraid of death, but I donât want you to die just like that. You are the first people on the continent to face the God race. As long as you live, you will understand the God raceâs attack pattern. This war will not be finished in a day or two. If you live, you can teach others how to deal with the God race. Then, there will be fewer deaths on the continent. Only then will we have a chance to beat the God race and the Nephilim race back to their hometowns. &Quot;
The few of them nodded. Zhao Hai looked at them and said in a deep voice, â &Quot; this is not going to be an easy battle. Both the realm of gods and the realm of demons are much bigger than the ark continent. They are also much more righteous than the ark continent. So, we canât keep fighting with the idea that we are not afraid of death. In a war, we must not be afraid of death. But remember, we canât let unnecessary sacrifices appear. Do you understand? â
Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the foreign tribes didnât usually listen to anyone, they would listen to Zhao Haiâs words. Zhao Haiâs status was clear, and he had helped the foreign tribes before. The foreign tribes were very grateful to Zhao Hai, so they listened to his words.
Right at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the distance, and the earth seemed to be shaking. Anyone with experience would know that this was the sound of a large number of heavy-armored cavalrymen running. Among all the troops, the heavy-armored cavalrymen had the most imposing momentum. When one of them ran, the whole earth would shake. If any troop dared to run into them, there would only be one outcome-they would be crushed into pieces.
Everyoneâs attention was drawn to the sound. In a short while, they saw a Silver Wave surging from the ground in the distance. The speed of the wave was very fast, and the momentum was even more shocking. Behind the wave was a sky full of dust.
Zhao Hai turned to beckart and said, â beckart, you go out and give the command. Remember, it doesnât matter how many enemies you kill. Just come back alive. Itâs not the time to fight God yet. &Quot; Beck replied and ran down the city wall.
Zhao Hai then turned to the elves and said, &Quot; their light cavalry should be here soon. You should also go and prepare. Remember, go with Beck and the others. I donât ask you to kill many Protoss, but you must keep your own lives. The blood eagle is very fast, so you must take advantage of that. &Quot; The elf bowed to Zhao Hai and left.
Zhao Hai then turned to the orcs and said, â &Quot; get ready to go out from the back gate of the city. Cooperate with the dwarves. Although the heavy cavalry of the God race is not slow, they are still not as fast as you. Donât always think about fighting with your lives. It is more important to find out their combat power. &Quot;
The few orcs responded and turned to leave. Zhao Hai turned to look at Becky and melgen and said, â âItâs up to you to save the undead creatures. Cai âer, come out and help. Berry, thousand shadows, letâs go.â After saying that, Zhao Hai waved his hand and summoned a Bone Dragon. He, Bailey, and Xu Wanying stood on the bone dragon and flew out of the city. At the same time, Cai appeared on Lizeâs shoulder. With a wave of his hand, a projection appeared in front of her, making it easier for her to command.
After a while, large green dots appeared on the projection. The two experienced people knew that the green dots were enemies, while the red dots were their own people. Zhao Hai had not released his undead creatures yet, so the red dots on the projection were only Zhao Hai and his group, as well as the dwarves and orcs.
Zhao Hai also saw the enemyâs light cavalry. Those single-horned flying horses that Zhao Hai had seen before were flapping their wings and flying forward slowly. Their movements looked so elegant, but they were not fast. However, Zhao Hai did not dare to underestimate them. These flying horses were obviously not running at their maximum speed. Of course, they were not fast. When the battle began, it would definitely not be like this.
However, Zhao Haiâs attention was not on the Wyvern light cavalry. He was paying attention to the group of people wearing white magic robes behind the light cavalry. These people were the mages in the Protoss Army. Although melgen suspected that they were Summoners, no one could be sure when there was no battle. Zhao Hai was still very careful with these people dressed as mages.
Just as the Pegasus light cavalry was a few thousand meters away from Zhao Hai, a Red Cloud floated over from behind shanru city. These red clouds were naturally the blood eagle cavalry of the elves.
The blood eagle cavalry flew out from behind shanru city and charged at the celestialâs Pegasus light cavalry. The Pegasus light cavalry was stunned. The Celestials had a certain understanding of the various races on the ark, and they naturally knew the elves. However, they had never heard that the elves had an Air Force. This was beyond their expectations.
In fact, the Protoss couldnât be blamed. After the church of Light suppressed the elves, they knew very little about the elves. Although they had sent many spies into the elves, their main purpose was to control the elves, so the spies didnât dare to disappear. They really didnât know that the elves had an Air Force.
Moreover, even if they knew, what could they do? the elves âoriginal cavalrymen rode voiceless birds, and voiceless birds did not have much combat power. They were just herbivorous magic beasts with very docile temperaments. Otherwise, they would not have been trained by the elves.
However, the elf cavalrymen were blood eagles, which were produced in Zhao Haiâs space. Their combat power was very strong. Even if the Protoss knew that the elves had an Air Force, they would still suffer a great loss without knowing about the blood eagles.
The reason why Zhao Hai allowed the elves to deal with the celestial cavalrymen was because he had given the elves a secret weapon. As long as the elves used this secret weapon well, even if the celestialâs Pegasus light cavalry was more powerful than them, they would still be at a disadvantage.
