Chapter 269 268. Dragon Knight Is a Popular Profession that Is Highly Sought After

The defeat of the Death Lord made the undead in the territory seem to have lost their backbone, and most of the low-level undead became wandering on the earth in a daze.

If you are lucky, you will be taken back by the high-level undead, and if you are unlucky, you will be eliminated by the Lauren Frost family.

In the past few days, Fort Cotton has established an outpost defense line due to the presence of Mo Cheng and the Skeleton Legion.

In other words, this is the only defensive outpost that the human coalition can currently stand on.

In the beginning, Mo Cheng spent a lot of effort to make the Lauren Frost family understand that the Skeleton Legion was not the enemy. Although Commander Brady gave Mo Cheng a favor, he also kept silent about letting the Skeleton Army enter Fort Cotton.

After all, a lot of people died on the front line, and the reason was undead creatures. Now that the skeleton army is brought in, the safety risks aside, the morale and thoughts of the soldiers must be considered.

Not all arms are like skeletons and do not need to consider morale factors.

If Mo Cheng hadn't spent a lot of effort to rescue a group of seriously injured people before, the other party probably wouldn't listen to his story.

After all, on the battlefield, if the reinforcements look too similar to the enemy, the soldiers will not be able to tell who should be killed.

Soldiers cannot be expected to have enough knowledge to distinguish the difference between skeleton soldiers and undead soldiers.

Mo Cheng didn't have any objections to Brady's approach. After all, he knew very well that his skeleton army was not a defensive force. If Brady really let the skeleton army enter Fort Cotton, then Mo Cheng would still have to worry about how to direct the defense. .

So he simply asked the skeleton army to stand guard five kilometers away from Fort Cotton. Skeletons don't need rest, food or water, and they don't even have the discomfort of regular creatures that stay in one place for a long time. Feel.

They stood there quietly like statues, without any movement except for sending out Talion Empire heavy cavalry from time to time for warning and exploration.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers felt relieved, but Brady didn't say anything about it.

He knew very well that if the dragon who controlled this army was willing, it would not be a big problem to capture Fort Cotton.

Mo Cheng did this just to reassure people and send a friendly signal.

Apparently, Brady and the top brass in the Lauren Frost family got the message.

When both parties have good intentions, subsequent cooperation will develop easily.

A few days later, the soldiers cautiously set out with a group of skeleton soldiers, and returned two days later with good news.

They explored and destroyed a ziggurat that produced a necromantic canopy.

The skeletons suffered minor losses, but none of the soldiers died.

This made Brady's eyes burn. He knew what this meant better than anyone else. The veterans led the new recruits and returned from the battle with almost no damage. In this way, the soldiers would grow the fastest.

If we use a metaphor that Mo Cheng understands, then it is like a group of new soldiers parachuted into the Battle of Stalingrad, and everyone has the same five hours of safety time.

Or to put it in a perspective that is more suitable for gamers, a group of low-level recruits are taken out by elite soldiers to gain experience.

After that, soldiers followed the skeleton soldiers out every day, either to sweep away the low-level undead wandering around, or to destroy the smaller undead team.

The improvement of the soldiers can be seen with the naked eye. The effect of recruiting new soldiers through hundreds of battles has exceeded Mo Cheng's expectations. Fort Cotton's defensive strength has also become stronger with the passage of time.

Being led by the skeleton soldiers a lot, the soldiers not only had no fear of these ferocious fluorescent skeletons, they even sometimes said hello and joked with familiar people when they went out together.

Even Mo Cheng wondered how they knew which skeleton was which.

As time went by, the soldiers continued to go out with the skeleton army, not only cleaning up the area around Fort Cotton, but also turning this place into an outpost of the human coalition.

Since the other two fortresses had been breached by the Undead Legion, the human coalition could only set out from Fort Cotton as an outpost.

At the same time, as more and more support arrived from the rear, Fort Cotton also began a round of expansion. At the same time, the role of the Skeleton Legion was also seen by the generals and nobles who followed.

This method of leading new recruits with elite soldiers who are not afraid of death not only allows new recruits to grow up as quickly as possible, but also does not even need to worry about the death of veterans.

The sacrificial skeletons have enough power to awaken those skeletons from death again.

One month later, the expansion of Fort Cotton was completed, and support from the human coalition also arrived.

That night, the Lauren Frost family held a celebration banquet in Fort Cotton to celebrate their resistance to the undead army's offensive. It was also to celebrate that the human coalition finally laid an outpost and had the foundation to march into the heart of the Vahlan Empire.

Even Mo Cheng was invited. During this period, he didn't bother to deal with people at all. It was rare to enter the dungeon and he naturally had to brush up enough. So in addition to leaving enough defensive power for Fort Cotton, he directly led the skeleton army deep into the undead territory to wreak havoc.

Although the Death Lord was killed by him, there was no huge chaos in the cities in the Necromancer's territory. Those subordinates who once belonged to the Death Lord stood on their own. Although they could not unify the entire Necromancer's territory, they also had the appearance of princes. .

For Mo Cheng, these guys' cities are even more difficult to attack. While the Death Lord is still there, if a city is attacked, support will arrive soon. Even if Mo Cheng failed to capture the city, he could still turn around and eliminate the reinforcements.

But now those cities had no reinforcements, but they were able to shrink back and not give Mo Cheng a chance to kill at all.

After working in the undead hinterland for nearly a month without achieving any results, Mo Cheng returned to Fort Cotton in depression.

…

Because Fort Cotton continues to send troops to destroy the ziggurat that creates the undead canopy, the sky around Fort Cotton can already distinguish between night and day.

At night, Fort Cotton is brightly lit.

Mo Cheng sent away a group of nobles who came forward to get to know them. He touched his face and maintained a ceremonial smile for a long time, which made him feel that his face was numb.

The causes and consequences of Fort Cotton cannot be concealed for long, or it is impossible to conceal them at all.

The appearance of the giant dragon killed the Death Lord and the elite skeleton army...

All kinds of things that showed enough interests were enough for Mo Cheng to be approached by the nobles one after another.

Some wanted to use the skeleton army to train troops, some wanted to discuss the secrets of the dragon clan, and some simply wanted to win over Mo Cheng.

Others went too far, including introducing unmarried women from their own families to Mo Cheng in an attempt to get a dragon knight to appear in their family.
