Chapter 536: Dividing Line

The first half of January 2020.

The lords were in a state of retreat after the initial contact.

The lords who were still fighting among themselves for resources were shocked to find that a force that did not belong to the lords appeared around them. They were besieged in their own fortress just as they were thinking about how to make a choice.

The Holy See Expeditionary Force stormed through dozens of permanent fortresses built by the lords of the Fourth Age, and inserted bright red crosses on a white background into the ruins of the lords' fortresses. The original permanent fortresses became the property of the Holy See Expeditionary Force. campsite.

In order to preserve their development assets, some Fourth Age lords chose to surrender and join the Holy See's expeditionary force to fight for them.

The expeditionary force only accepts the surrender of humans, and completely kills other alien races. It also chooses to kill all the lords who do not convert to them.

The Crusaders holding the flag high are not afraid of death, and under the leadership of heavily armored warriors, they can quickly penetrate the permanent offensive that the lords are proud of.

The lord, who could only bear 2,000 casualties a month, could not withstand this kind of crazy offensive, so he could only choose to retreat step by step to give up the resource area.

The winding arc formed by the permanent castles built by the former lords formed the first line of defense of the Holy See Expeditionary Force in this world.

They had confirmed that the resistance of this world was limited, so they settled down to set up camp and concentrate on establishing the territory they had already won.

This is not their first holy war, but this time the enemy is stranger than ever.

Enemies who will never truly die, enemies who possess techniques that even experienced crusaders would be stunned by, and tactics that are more chaotic than demons crawling out of the abyss.

The tactics they have mastered may not even work if they change the lord. These lords are very difficult to fight against.

With the absolute advantage of manpower, sufficient siege equipment, and a well-prepared group of priests, it even requires the intervention of paladins to break through the lords' deep cultivation and construction of permanent fortresses.

Local advantages created by relying on human power cannot last long.

Therefore, the Crusaders adopted the least threatening and most stable attack method to the lords.

Set up camp and fight stupidly.

As long as they win, all the resources in this world belong to the Holy See, and they have enough development time.

In March 5, the lord's first temporary line of defense was established.

The retreating lords built their first temporary defense line in this narrow area.

"Why, brother, were you also brought here by those crusaders?"

An elf lord held his staff and joked to the disgraced undead lord next to him. There were a large number of skeleton bones with obvious burn marks piled on the frame next to him. These skeleton bones were the ones the undead lord had fought with the invaders. Best proof.

"I have been unlucky enough to meet these crusaders for eight lifetimes. All kinds of holy water were thrown out as if they were threatening their lives. Those infantrymen rushed directly into the desolate toxin belt after accepting the blessings of the priests."

The undead lord wailed, and the skeletal horse snorted and continued to move forward while pulling the frame filled with materials.

"Damn it, my materials. Before the core of the outpost was destroyed, we only salvaged a few carts of materials... There are still two remains of giant beasts and bones that have not been dug out. I am really Cao Le."

He was talking about his inventory of materials, and his heart ached when he thought of the inventory of bones burning in the holy flames that had not been moved away.

That is the material for constructing the next giant beast.

"Oh, I ran fast, and the resources were almost transferred...I was the only one who ran away with the outpost core."

Being able to move with the outpost core and being unable to move with the outpost core are two different concepts.

In order to replenish this group of lords, the system provides them with an opportunity to quickly deploy the outpost core, but if this opportunity is saved... they can still be used in the future.

The elf lord patted his relatively clean shirt and pointed at the human lord riding a white horse in the distance. The human lord only had him and a group of heavy cavalry wearing damaged armor beside him.

"Don't think about it, that guy over there is even worse than you. Three thousand-man teams only came out with dozens of heavy cavalry... You undead can still recover some resources, while others even threw their equipment on the ground. "

Smaller lords suffered less losses. Their resource reserves and investments were too low, making them easier to transfer.

On the contrary, the big lords suffered more asset losses due to untimely transfer.
