Chapter 1058

Salta's sixth-floor platform is second only to the highest level where the Sun Temple is located.

This entire floor is the ruling class of the Sun Tribe, where most of the high-ranking paladins and priests live. In the middle is the Hall of Chiefs and the Barracks of the Sun Front.

The chief's horn sounded.

A moment later, 15,000 paladins gathered on the playground of the barracks, and the open space was almost completely filled.

At the head of the procession was the Chieftain's Guard, led by Zan'jin.

Corsaro served as the chief for nearly two months, cleaned out his guard, replaced nearly half of the members, and then selected followers of the Lord of Radiance from the tribe as supplements. Into the team.

The Chief Guard has a total of 1,000 people, all of whom are Corsaro's henchmen.

In this expedition, the Chief Guard served as the vanguard.

Of course, what Corsaro said was so, and the chief guard also believed it. In fact, the real main force was three hundred Stormcast Eternals.

The march of the Scorching Sun's Edge will be later, responsible for cleaning up the mess after the battle and suppressing the headhunter tribe.

A ray of light fell on the high platform, revealing Corsaro's figure.

"Chief!"

Zanjin took the lead in half-kneeling down, and the chief guard also saluted in unison.

All the paladins on the playground knelt down on one knee, and every troll bowed their heads to show their respect to the chief.

Although Corsaro has been in power for less than two months, his swift and thunderous actions have brought enormous pressure to the tribe's paladins, far surpassing the new chief Zurazab. Any voice of dissatisfaction or opposition can only be suppressed in my heart, and it is more about loyalty to the chief.

Loyalty, respect, and fear.

"Please get up."

Corsaro's voice reached the ears of the paladins. They stood up, looked at the chief on the high platform, and saw him say with a serious face: "Clan people, please remember this day. The prestige of the devil will be continued today, and it will be sung again in the land of the Zulaman Empire, in this ancient forest!"

The trolls' hearts were ups and downs, and their expressions gradually became excited.

He paused, and continued: "For hundreds of years, the headhunter tribe has been our biggest threat. They rob our prey, invade our territory, and kill our clansmen. Unforgivable."

"Now that the god has awakened, the vengeance of the Burning Sun Tribe begins with the Headhunter Tribe."

"The glory is above!"

"May Sanguinius protect us." Corsaro said later, his voice became louder and louder, and finally turned into an angry and passionate roar.

The paladins responded in unison: "Worth the blood of Sanguinius!"

Boom! Boom! Boom... The war drums on the edge of the playground were beating, and the thundering drums resounded throughout the city. On the square in front of the Temple of the Burning Sun, the priests of the temple headed by Tusul led a large number of devout believers towards the burning sun. Pray aloud and chant the teachings of the Lord of Radiance.

boom!

The sky vibrated, and a ray of light that was more dazzling than the sun emerged over Salta. The sacred and magnificent atmosphere enveloped it, and countless divine spells sprinkled on the paladins, and they were blessed.

The Lord of Radiance reproduces the miracle.

The paladins were all very excited and worshiped the gods in the sky.

Originally, there were some trolls who were quite critical of the chief's decision to play, and even thought it was letting the tribe die, but after seeing the blessing of the Lord of Radiance, these thoughts disappeared. Obviously, the god supported the chief's decision .

Corsaro shouted, "Go!"

He jumped onto a huge direhorn clad in golden armor, nearly ten meters long from head to tail, which had originally been Zurazab's mount and now belonged to the new chieftain.

The paladins of the Chief Guard also climbed onto their mounts one after another, all of them were Direhorn dragons in heavy armor. Except for Zanjin and the high-ranking paladins, the other paladins shared a ride and took turns driving them. There were five hundred horses in total. Head Direhorn.

bang bang bang...

Corsaro took the lead, and the paladins followed immediately.

The sound of heavy and dense footsteps spread throughout Salta, running along the wide streets of the city. The streets were crowded with trolls who were seeing off their families. When the paladins passed by, they shouted the teachings of the Lord of Radiance, family praying.

Amidst the dust, the chief guard quickly rushed out of the city gate and entered the forest.

After they set off, the large army of Scorching Sun's Edge began to march. Because of the large number of people, the response was not as fast as the chief's guard with only a thousand people, and not all were equipped with Direhorn mounts. Most paladins could only walk.

Even so, Sunblade left Salta within a quarter of an hour, followed far behind the chieftain's guard, and marched towards the destination.

Ten miles ahead.

Cortharo led the chieftain's guard and galloped through the forest, heading straight for the largest city of the Headhunter tribe, Hazelek.

The headhunter tribe has three cities, built and controlled by the three most powerful tribes.

Harzreck is ruled by the Bloodspear tribe.

In addition to the Bloodspear tribe, there are two smaller troll tribes. This is only smaller than the Bloodspear tribe. In fact, the population of each of their tribes is about the same as that of the Scorching Sun tribe, exceeding 100,000. Tribe, there are nearly 400,000 trolls in Hazelek City!

Hazelek and the other two cities "Tanzal" and "Kazulua" are all about the same distance, forming a triangle with each other.

There was no particular reason why Corsaro chose to attack Harzlake.

It's the closest to Salta!

You can see Hazelek about 300 miles east from Salta. Usually, paladins patrol and hunt, and generally the farthest will not exceed 150 miles. Demons, and then a bloody battle broke out, endlessly dying.

In the three hundred miles between Salta and Hazelek, for hundreds of years, trolls from both sides have already stepped out of a forest passage.

Every grown-up troll is familiar with this path.

Along the way, Corsaro had already sent out scouts when he found the Altar of the Old Sage a few days ago, in addition to the regular secret sentries.

During the expedition, these Thundercast Scouts acted ahead of time and pulled out Hazelek's spies.

Two hours later.

Corsaro led the chief's guard and ran for more than a hundred miles, but along the way, he didn't encounter any enemies, which surprised the paladins.

After a short rest, they set off again, and traveled another hundred miles, but still did not meet the enemy.

The paladins finally sensed something was wrong.

"Chief."

Zanjin approached on the Direhorn and reminded in a low voice: "We have already entered the territory of Hazelek, but the enemy has not appeared. This is too abnormal, should we investigate again?" He was worried about the Bloodspear tribe. Already noticed it.

"Don't worry, we just need to rush to Hazelek." Corsaro waved his hand and explained: "The Bloodspear tribe has not moved yet."

Zanjin was skeptical.

The surrounding paladins also looked at each other in blank dismay. Most of them were experienced and had followed Zurazab and fought the Bloodspear tribe many times.

In the past, every time I hadn't arrived at Harzlake, I had to encounter waves of enemies.

Today is calm.

The Bloodspear tribe is good at taming wild beasts. Almost every troll is a hunter. When they go out to patrol and hunt, they will release their domesticated falcons to serve as eyes and ears in the sky. This kind of jungle falcons fly very high and can see clearly For targets more than ten miles away, the Lieyang tribe suffered tactically because of the enemy's falcons every time. They were very passive, but there was no solution.

But along the way, the paladins didn't see a single falcon in the sky, and they all seemed to have disappeared.

The second break is over.

The chief guard set off again, and as they got closer to Hazelek, the paladins became more and more vigilant, holding their weapons tightly, guarding against possible attacks at any time.

However, not even a fight took place until a Hazelek built on top of a low hill was seen in the distance.

"Above the brilliance!"

The paladins couldn't believe that it was so easy to march to a place less than 20 miles away from Hazelek. In the past hundreds of years, the number of times that the Lieyang tribe rushed to the enemy's city so close was very small, and they all paid a huge price. cost.

Corsaro raised his right hand and ordered: "Rest in place and prepare for battle."

The paladins looked solemn.

This is the last rest before the battle, after which they will rush under the gate of Harzelek and break through the enemy's gate.

A thousand trolls did not make a sound, and the forest was silent.

The enemy's falcons can be very far away, almost under the nose, and they will be spotted as long as they are a few miles ahead. This makes many paladins feel a little worried when they are resting, but it is miraculous, a full two quarters of an hour , have been living in peace.

"Bright shelter." The paladins prayed silently.

Corsaro waved his hand.

Five hundred Direhorn dragons ran again. This time, they were spotted by the enemy within a short distance. It was impossible to cover up such a big movement.

The rapid sound of war drums sounded in the city of Hazelek.

In the sky, dozens of jungle falcons flew quickly, screaming, but it was too late to issue an alarm at this time.

The direhorn did not charge immediately, but was still running at a medium speed. The paladins saw a group of black shadows take off in the enemy's city and flew towards them quickly. They quickly saw them clearly. They were a group of hundreds of huge pterosaur.

There is a troll sitting on the back of each pterosaur, they are pterosaur hunters!

Pterodactyl hunters are familiar to paladins.

This is the most elite army of the Bloodspear tribe, but because pterosaurs are rare and difficult to tame, there are only less than 300 pterosaur hunters in the whole of Hazelek.

The pterosaur was flying very fast, and the direhorn was also running, and the two sides approached each other.

A few minutes later.

More than a hundred pterosaur hunters have already flown into the sky, and the paladins can see their long and sharp mouths like sharp blades, wide wings, and a pair of huge sharp claws under their stomachs, lined up in the sky, facing He swooped down by himself.

The hunter on the pterosaur's back had already grasped the sharp spear, which was engraved with red runes, and was about to use the power of the pterosaur's dive to throw the spear.

Once it hits a target or a fallen leaf, the spear explodes.

Many paladins have seen the powerful lethality of pterosaur hunters, but they don't have very good counterattack ability in the face of air strikes. Generally, they can only dodge or throw spears hard.

"Don't slow down, keep going!"

The chief's order sounded firm and quiet, calming down the uneasiness in the hearts of the paladins.

at the same time.

The paladins found that many tribesmen stood up and walked on the back of the running Direhorn. They were all new members of the chief's guard. They were usually taciturn, loyal to the chief, and hardly communicated with other tribesmen.

At this time, they also held black spears in their hands, which were taken out of the side pouch of the direhorn's saddle, and they seemed to be ready for a long time.

These spears are all made of iron wood. Although they are made of wood, they are straight and thick, and they are not light in weight.

They raised their wooden spears and aimed them at the sky.

A few seconds later, there was a groan, and these more than a hundred silent paladins threw their spears almost at the same instant. The power of the holy light did not erupt from their bodies, but they were thrown with pure force. The wooden spears disappeared instantly, and the Direhorn under their feet froze, receiving the impact.

Then, the paladins saw a scene they will never forget.

A series of black shadows passed through the shade of the tree, spanning a distance of a thousand meters in the blink of an eye, and accurately hit the head of the pterosaur in the sky.

clap clap...

The heads of all the pterosaurs exploded in an instant, and flesh and blood flew everywhere, as if more than a hundred flowers were blooming in the air, without even a scream.

With one breath, the pterosaurs in the sky turned into headless corpses and fell towards the ground.

The troll hunter on the back of the pterosaur yelled in horror, but he had no choice but to dance in mid-air, and was about to throw his spear away one after another, losing his fighting power instantly.

While the paladins were stunned, the Direhorn continued to run, and heard a sound of falling to the ground and screams. Although it was blocked by the forest, one could guess the fate of the more than one hundred troll hunters. It is not far from death if it is not smashed into meat sauce.

The first wave of crisis is over.

When the paladins came back to their senses, they realized that they had run far away again, less than ten miles away from Hazelek. Some paladins with good eyesight could already see countless trolls gathering and running in the city on the top of the mountain. Or hide, all chaos.

Obviously because of the loss of the pterosaur hunters, the Bloodspear tribe did not dare to attack easily.

After a while.

The chief guard rushed out of the forest and saw the whole city.

The mountain where Hazelek was located was neither high nor big, and the troll built a city wall at the foot of the mountain to enclose the whole hill.

The trees outside the city walls were all cut down, leaving an open space without shelter.

From the forest to the city wall, the open space was a thousand meters wide, and the tall city gates were closed tightly. The paladins could already see the enemies on the city wall. Thousands of troll warriors and hunters stood on the wall, holding bows, arrows, spears and battle axes, waiting in full force. There was a huge crossbow every tens of meters. There were all kinds of beasts beside the hunters, and their eyes were shining. Bloodthirsty light.

In the city, more troll armies are gathering.

And the chief guard has only one thousand people, and the number of enemies is dozens of times, hundreds of times as many as himself!

Corsaro showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he whipped the Direhorn under him and roared loudly, "Charge! Charge! Charge at full speed!"
