Chapter 429: Chapter 346: The Anxious Battlefield
There!
Carrot immediately realized the target of this operation.
He and his contemptible comrades, Seeking Intoxication, chose to join the Boditch Army as mercenaries and arrived at the frontline. Their goal was to earn more points.
The points needed for the Knight’s Glory Sword were indeed too many. They could not possibly acquire enough points through ordinary means.
Thus, the trio of Carrot discussed and decided to take a risky move to achieve something big.
Since the amount of points was related to battlefield contributions, and for the Boditch Kingdom, nothing was more critical than the Royal Mage Corps.
...
For this reason, Carrot and his companions decided to attempt an attack on the Royal Mage Corps.
If it were just the three of them relying on their own strength, let alone defeating them, even a successful stealth attack would not affect the overall situation.
However, with the special tools provided by Lis, it wasn’t about defeating the surrounded mages, but they could indeed affect the mages’ ability to fight back.
Even so, the impact on the overall battle situation was significant enough.
Don’t rush, can’t rush yet!
Carrot closely watched the central battle array not far away, where elite soldiers and knights surrounded and protected the Royal Mage Corps.
There were still too many people around now. It was impossible to get close; they could only wait until the two armies officially began to engage, and the situation became chaotic. That would be their chance to make a move.
Carrot shared his thoughts and decision with his comrades, and the three tacitly went into stealth, quietly waiting for that moment.
Across the entire battlefield, not only Carrot and his associates but also many other players quietly lay in wait, patiently awaiting the start of the decisive battle.
In Boditch Camp and various key areas of Luminous Stone City, several squads of players were also moving secretly, gradually making their way to crucial positions.
…
Within the Feis Kingdom Army,
Bevis, Duke Baird, and Duke Rame, all clad in their respective armor and mounted on large horses, stood on a hill behind the battlefield, with numerous robust soldiers guarding around to prevent stealth attacks from Bodici people.
The three commanders looked towards the distant plains where the Boditch Army was stationed, their focus intensively sharp.
“Finally showing some progress, but that’s about it!”
Duke Rame watched the formation of the Boditch Army and disdainfully shook his head.
In his view, the entire Boditch Army was embarrassingly weak, even the army from the Royal Capital Luminous Stone City was not as elite as his own forces, let alone the Golden Lion Knights led by Bevis.
Most importantly, the difference in morale between the two armies was starkly apparent.
Even though in previous battles, the Boditch Army gained some advantages due to the Royal Mage Corps’ support, it did not affect the overall situation.
The whole Boditch Army was in a state of low morale. Not to mention strict discipline, even maintaining basic allowance and order was quite difficult.
In contrast, their own army, despite some setbacks, had, over half a year of numerous victories, nourished a strong belief and steadfast confidence, something the opposition could not compare.
Bevis and Duke Baird nodded in agreement with Duke Rame’s comments.
“Even so, we can’t be careless, after all, they still have the Royal Mage Corps.”
Duke Baird said with a smile, clad in full black armor, looking nothing like a man in his seventies, vibrant and imposing.
Of course, as a Gold-level Warrior, he was truly in his prime.
“Lis said he has a plan, and has already arranged for someone to disrupt the enemy’s army, though I can’t figure out how he managed it.”
Bevis spoke calmly, genuinely curious about it.
After a moment of thought, he turned and instructed a messenger to inform their mages to prepare and react timely to any mage attacks from the opposing side.
“Haha, after all, that man is a disciple of Lord Judgement Flame. The methods he might have are beyond our imagination.”
Duke Rame said cheerfully, seemingly very confident in Lis.
The truth was indeed so. Legend, as a higher tier of existence, had methods that were unique and unimaginable for them, mere Gold-level Warriors.
Bevis had personally witnessed the capabilities of Legendary strongmen, such as during the Blood Sacrifice Chaos in Bright City. He not only saw the action of four Legendary strongmen but also witnessed the arrival of the Divine Incarnation of the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts.
However, after that, he too was mentally impacted and had to rest for some time to recover.
“Where is Lord Lis now?”
Duke Baird asked curiously, looking at Bevis.
Bevis shook his head helplessly and said,
“I’m not sure exactly. He did come to see me last night, but it was about the subsequent occupation of Luminous Stone City…”
“Haha, our Marquis Kane seems very confident! Then I’ll be looking forward to it!”
Duke Rame laughed loudly, and the soldiers around couldn’t help but glance over.
The three kept a close watch on both sides on the battlefield, occasionally issuing orders to adjust the movements of the Feis Army.
Real battlefield combat was never a simple matter, especially now with both sides gathering about three hundred thousand troops on this battlefield—just adjusting the forces required considerable effort.
This was also why both sides were quickly adjusting their forces rather than rushing to make the first move. There isn’t an unspoken rule like in animations where transforming states means attacks are prohibited.
Rather, it’s because if they were to attack before being properly adjusted, their own army might disintegrate before even making contact with the enemy.
