Chapter 182 Stalemate
On the vast plain, with the sound of war drums, footsteps and knocks covering the entire battlefield, the pure golden soldiers collided head-on with the colorful and messy soldiers that were several times their number.
Just like looking at the battlefield from a high place, one can clearly see more and more colorful things spreading around, as if a huge mouth opened to swallow the golden soldiers in one gulp.
However, the number of golden soldiers who were gradually enveloped did not decrease significantly. On the contrary, the colorful soldiers blocking their way were rapidly dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As they rushed in both directions, the golden soldiers were soon surrounded by the miscellaneous soldiers who had a numerical advantage. However, even though they were surrounded, the golden soldiers did not show any fear. Like sharp blades, they ignored the miscellaneous soldiers on the side and directly killed the elite soldiers commanded by the extraordinary people.
Naturally, they were well prepared for this situation.
The extraordinary people stayed where they were with their elite soldiers, waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out while constantly driving the miscellaneous soldiers towards the golden soldiers.
Although the miscellaneous soldiers had been frightened by the golden soldiers, the golden soldiers' swords were sharp, so their swords and those of the supervisory team were not at a disadvantage either.
Under their pressure, a large number of miscellaneous soldiers were forced to block the golden soldiers. Although most of them had no will to resist and fled frantically to both sides, the battle line was so long that the miscellaneous soldiers on the outermost edge of the battle line could still run, but those inside could not escape even if they wanted to, especially when they were squeezed together, it was even more impossible to escape.
Although they had no intention of resisting, and the golden soldiers had no interest in killing people, the soldiers would not allow them to disrupt the army formation. Therefore, they had to let go of the miscellaneous soldiers who were blocking their way with a look of fear on their faces. Moreover, who knew if these soldiers had really lost the courage to fight? What if they let them go and they would stab them in the back?
Therefore, the golden soldiers stabbed their daggers mercilessly and killed all the miscellaneous soldiers who blocked their way.
The soldiers trampled on the fresh flesh and blood on the ground and directly killed the outermost layer of miscellaneous soldiers.
As the last batch of miscellaneous soldiers were driven over by the opposite side and ruthlessly slaughtered by the golden soldiers, the soldiers finally faced each other face to face with the real elite of the coalition forces.
The distance between the two sides was less than a hundred meters, so it was basically just a matter of charging.
The soldiers in the front rows of both sides looked at each other, then they moved and rushed towards each other step by step.
A knight in green armor riding a white horse took the lead and rushed straight over.
A green gale surrounded him and crashed directly into a small formation of golden soldiers at an astonishing speed.
Due to his extremely fast speed, although the soldiers of the small army formation that was hit were aware of his presence, their reaction speed could not match his speed, and they were unable to use techniques to block him in time. Therefore, the soldiers standing in front of the knight could only raise their shields and subconsciously inject all their strength to try to stop him.
But how could a single knight squire possibly stop the charge of a second-level knight? He was directly knocked away, and the golden soldiers around him also pounced on him one by one.
After a series of collisions that killed nearly ten golden soldiers, he was finally held in place by the golden soldiers at the cost of their lives.
The golden soldiers quickly filled the gap and surrounded him in the military formation. Then, the golden soldiers launched a fierce attack on him from all directions.
Looking at the soldiers rushing in from all directions, the second-level knight glanced at them with disdain, and began to swing the spear in his hand, which was wrapped in green waves, and fought with them.
In addition to him, there were other similar extraordinary knights who rushed into the army one by one.
After resisting the knights who charged in directly, the golden soldiers' front inevitably had some gaps. The elite soldiers of the coalition naturally seized this opportunity decisively, and under the command of the commander, they boldly attacked and rushed forward, fighting fiercely with the golden soldiers.
As elite soldiers, although they were not like Roland, where all of them had practiced a complete set of breathing techniques, most of them had practiced simple breathing techniques and were well-trained.
Although the average quality of the soldiers is not as good as that of Roland, the average quality of their grassroots and low-level officers is much better than that of Roland.
Although their breathing method is poor and incomplete, they have practiced for a long time, and their low-ranking officers are basically those who survived on the battlefield. If they didn't have some skills, they would have died on the battlefield long ago. Therefore, they have basically practiced the breathing method to the limit and may be promoted to the Knights of the First Ring at any time.
Although Roland had trained several First Ring Knights, with only a dozen First Ring Knights, he could not even fill the positions of middle and senior officers, let alone low-level officers.
Therefore, the lower-ranking officers of the Golden Soldiers were just ordinary knight squires.
Moreover, the coalition had more first-ring knights than Roland. As for second- and third-level knights, Roland did not even have a single one.
So, in this situation, the golden soldiers finally encountered a tough opponent.
With both sides having advantages, the battle line suddenly became stalemate.
However, this stalemate did not last long and was soon broken by the new forces.
Don't forget that Roland stayed in the military camp of Jiuqi for three months, and the forces he cultivated were not just ordinary soldiers, but also some spellcasters.
When Roland sent more soldiers here, he also specifically mobilized these spellcasters. There were not many of them, only fifty qualified mage apprentices were brought here by him.
Sometimes Roland had to admit that there were still differences in talent between people.
When he was with Hela in the North, even though they didn't have many resources, she quickly became a first-level spellcaster in a month and could cast several first-level dark element spells.
However, these fifty wizard apprentices could not do it. After three months of study, their magic power could only barely reach the level of spell apprentices.
However, although they were not very talented, they were still hardworking. Although their magic power was not very good, they practiced the spell models Roland gave them very diligently and basically learned them very well.
If two or three spell apprentices worked together to cast spells, and with the help of some cheap spellcasting materials, they could already use the first-level spells that Roland taught them several times.
Therefore, after the battle line reached a stalemate, the spellcasters hidden in the golden soldiers' formation also began to move.
Under the protection of the soldiers, they were divided into several groups. They placed the packages on their backs on the ground, untied them, took out the spellcasting materials from them, and quickly arranged them. Then they surrounded the spellcaster's materials and began to cast the spell.
