The smoke and dust rolled up by the charge covered the sky and the sun, and I couldn't see the enemy's position at all.The continuous sound of war drums made my ears buzz, and then I lost my hearing. To survive.I remembered my oath.If I want to reunite with D after the war, as I had hoped before, then I have to make sure I don't die the next second.I gritted my teeth and clutched a mermaid warrior's dagger (the one D didn't want) in my hand, as if I really knew how to use it. Sudden suffocation of breath, a strong air flow blows towards my face.I took two steps back involuntarily, and finally stabilized my figure, only to find that the thick fog that had been covering my face was blown away by this air current.

My vision was finally restored.I squinted and I saw— "What is that?!" I yelled in horror, unable to believe what I was seeing. In the center of the whirlwind rolled up on the flat ground, what I saw was not a group of WindClan warriors holding long swords and wearing golden armor, but a huge monster. It was three times the size of a wild elephant, with towering and thick limbs like Doric columns. Its whole body was like a moving ancient Greek temple, and every inch of its skin was covered with indestructible armor.It has a strong pointed pavilion on its back, and gorgeous drape hangs down from the pavilion, and huge copper bells are hung on the edge, making a rumbling sound as it travels.But even more terrifying is its head.

Its head is unbelievably huge, occupying almost one-third of its body, its ears stand upright, its face is also covered by armor, and its eyes cannot be seen. Three bayonet-like sharp horns protrude from the top of its face, gradually growing, and the end of its nose That heavy spear was longer than the knights who were about to fight, it was as thick as ten spears hugging each other, the tip was inlaid with a layer of shining metal decoration, piercing through the cold fog of chaos. I've read in books before that the Persian Empire used to have war elephants, then ancient Greece, Alexander's successors threw countless elephants from India in their wars, and every army in the European battlefields used full armor The war elephants against the Roman legions - elephants, not rhinos.I've never seen a rhino charge used by any army in either military or history books!

But all my knowledge comes from the former mundane human world, where Indian elephants were the largest land creatures.Its imposing size and exotic appearance can easily intimidate the enemy.But in another dimension of the Elven Demon Realm, on the battlefield at the turn of Fengshui in front of me, this is obviously not the case. Dozens of gigantic giant war rhinoceros rushed into the phalanx of the mermaid army roaring with long obelisk-like horns on their noses. The mermaid warriors were caught off guard, and the neatly arranged phalanx formation was immediately dispersed.But the soldiers who were alone did not panic. They held up their spears and stabbed fiercely at the exposed limbs of the rhinoceros armor, but the opponent's skin was covered with thick folds. The mermaid soldiers couldn't go deep after hitting the target, and the two hind legs of a war rhinoceros were tied into hedgehogs, but it didn't realize it and still charged forward.

wait, what is that?Oh no, this is too bad! A war rhino rushed towards me like crazy.I wear a mask.The enemy cannot see me.But Zhan Xi doesn't need to see anyone.Their sole task is to lunge forward recklessly. But in the next second, the situation in front of him suddenly changed.Dazzling blonde hair lit up my eyes.A young mermaid general seemed to be one of the commanders I had seen in the tent. He suddenly appeared in front of me, grabbed the sharp horn of this war rhinoceros, and used all his body The strength jumped up, like a golden sun rising from the mud! The blond general is tall, but extremely agile.His spear had been lost in the battle. At this moment, he drew the dagger at his waist with his right hand, and firmly grasped the longest horn of the rhinoceros' nose with his left hand, and then lightly circled the second and third horns, with a lightning Before he could cover his ears, he rushed to the console on the back of the rhinoceros.

In the chaos, two archers from the Kingdom of Evergreen rolled down from the high platform one after another.The cumbersome war rhinoceros suddenly changed its direction of travel, bumped obliquely into its traveling companion at the other end nearby, and made a loud noise like a catapult hitting a city gate.Immediately afterwards, the wood shattered, and the entire sturdy tower on the back of the rhinoceros collapsed, hitting the ground hard and smashing into pieces. Half of the metal helmet rolled to my feet.I saw the driver who fell out of the pavilion, with a high crown on the top of the black head feathers, connected to the bright yellow broad beak, forming a sickle-like arc-as I expected, the WindClan soldier who controlled the war rhinoceros It's a hornbill.

My eyes were still fixed on the hornbill, and I happened to see a lot of blood spurting from the other's beautiful beak. It was like a crimson baptism, rendering the surrounding snow-white mist into a romantic and shy crimson. The strong smell of blood pierced my nasal cavity like a sharp knife, and then pierced deep into my throat.I choked, and the taste of seaweed cakes for breakfast came out of my throat.I'm dizzy. When my vision was restored, I saw this war rhinoceros, which had lost its driver, continue to run wildly on the battlefield.The situation has not changed at all.The situation of the mermaid warriors was getting worse and worse. Some of them lost their weapons and were trampled under the giant hooves of the rhinoceros, while others were stabbed to death by the sharp horns of the opponent. He attacked directly, but he couldn't dodge the sharp arrows shot by the archer on Zhan Xi's back.

The blood of the dead mermaid warriors made the already wet grass even more slippery.I saw many people fall directly on the corpses of their companions, unable to get up again. The war has just begun, and the battlefield is already covered with corpses.Most of them are the subordinates of Setus, those brave and fearless mermaid warriors.Not so long ago, they were cheering the manager's speech, filled with triumphant conviction and fearless courage.But now, the gradual backlog of corpses on the battlefield even prevented the mermaid warriors from moving forward. Tears welled up in my eyes.Tears rendered the vision wandering in the mist even more obscure, and I heard the sharp and piercing sound of horns resounding through the sky again, but I couldn't see clearly what happened on the battlefield—until an extremely familiar voice suddenly came to me ear.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that D was not far from me. "The whole team!" I heard his deafening voice, like a bright light suddenly lit on a cold and snowy night.He loudly issued instructions to his own fighters who were at a disadvantage: "Odd-numbered centurions, immediately lead the team to even-numbered positions, merge the phalanx into one, and tighten the formation!" Even though the current battle situation is extremely chaotic, the well-disciplined mermaid warriors immediately obeyed orders to form a team. Under the leadership of the centurions, half of the warriors immediately adjusted the direction of their spears. They tightened their weapons and entered the adjacent team respectively. between.

I tried hard to wipe away the tears from my eyes, and was surprised to see that the mermaid charge formation that had previously formed a horizontal line on the battlefield now had a wide passageway between the teams. What exactly is D going to do? The military orders of the Shui warriors were carried out so quickly that the driver on the high platform on the back of the rhinoceros had no time to change direction. The copper bells on the drape approached from far away, making a loud tinkling sound, and then gradually drifted away.I widened my eyes, and saw in disbelief that the second batch of war rhinoceros flocking to the front line went directly through the passages that D deliberately set aside.

After regrouping, most of the mermaid soldiers avoided the danger of a head-on collision with the irresistible war rhinoceros.I couldn't help but cheered loudly. "Don't get too excited, it's just the other side's first charge." Lotbar sighed behind me, a timely reminder that he wasn't on my side.Then he quietly added a sentence, which completely sank my joyful mood to the bottom. He told me: "The official army of the Evergreen Kingdom has not yet appeared."
