Chapter 507 Watching

The cold wind with a rancid smell blows head-on, dark clouds gather in the sky, and the pattering rain has no romance at all. The muddy ground and wet and cold climate will aggravate the exhaustion of physical strength, which is obviously only beneficial to the tireless undead.

"Target is about to touch the second line of defense."

"Has everyone withdrawn? How many people are there on the first line of defense?"

"There are still two teams too late to retreat, we have tried our best."

"May the Holy Light protect them, how is the situation on the second line of defense?"

"It's not good. The temporary protective barrier can only delay time."

Many battle reports are kept coming and going like pieces of paper, and every time a war suddenly breaks out, it is generally the same. There are very few good news and dozens of bad news.

Among the many unfortunate news, Link probably did a good deed before his death. The Juyan Heavy Infantry Regiment he brought totaled more than 3,000 people. According to the conventional establishment, it was a full three brigades of elite heavy armor Infantry, they were divided into three squads to block the gorge, and even established a reconnaissance post in it, and carried out patrol missions.

And when the undead came, the outposts and patrol routes they arranged inside the gorge became the first line of defense, but no one expected them to be able to defend.

When Saliman￥ took over the command, he didn't ignore these golden warriors who were originally in a hostile position, but sent reinforcements, hoping that they could withdraw as much as possible.

"After all, every power now belongs to the living. As long as we can save it, we will do whatever it takes to save it!"

Shan Di, the deputy head of the Juyan Heavy Corps, is a giant sweat with barbarian blood, and he is at this time. But helplessly obeying the command of his "enemy".

From the moment the Undead Emperor descends. The civil war in the Principality of Sasha has also become meaningless. In the face of the undead disaster sweeping everything, there is no difference between being loyal to the royal family and being loyal to the Marquess of Tarek. They are fighting for the living anyway.

Sandy is not a fool. He knows that if he goes back like this, the assassination of His Royal Highness Link will make him, as a follower, angry at the royal family.

Of course, the premise of this is that the survivors win the war. Otherwise, even the principality would be gone, and naturally there would be nothing to settle accounts after autumn.

In my opinion, "Blood Spear" Saliman may have a bad reputation due to her record of massacres, but judging from the current situation, she does have two talents.

From the ruins in the mountains and valleys, if the undead want to come out. Must go through quite a long section of mountain road, so. She sent a death squad to blow up some mountain roads at intervals, and set up multiple lines of defense to hinder the opponent's advance.

The marching speed of a legion is determined by the slowest unit. The regular undead legion with skeletons is not fast, and with the addition of mountain roads and slippery rainy days, the speed is even slower.

A landslide on a hillside, as well as mudslides caused by man-made explosions, are sharp weapons for delaying the march, and the natural disadvantages of the undead army make them go slower and slower.

In the face of the bone dragon knights and death knight generals sent by the undead to patrol, even if they were lucky enough to successfully complete the mountain road blasting mission, these warriors who delayed the mission would basically not be able to return.

As for Zixing Mucheng's temporary headquarters, in order to reach an agreement as much as possible, and in order not to waste fighter opportunities at this critical moment, Shaliman sent her direct descendants for these sacrificial missions.

"Efforts to save the current allies who were once mortal enemies" and "priority to sacrifice the loyal lineage of one's own guards" are lofty to say, but they are extremely stupid in military strategy, but they are very stupid in a temporarily formed and distrustful alliance. A valuable style of work, at least, the image of a just and convincing leader has emerged.

Perhaps this will not do much to unite the living who are already full of conflicts, but it is still much better than "the coalition leader who fell into the stone" and "the bastard who let other people die", at least reducing civil strife possibility.

"Salliman,

Did she have a famous general ranking before? "

"No, how could there be generals of local lords in small countries. Why, do you think she is good?"

"...Maybe there will be one in the future."

That's right, I am very optimistic about this little blood spear, it seems that others have underestimated her.

In fact, I don't even have the confidence to do better than her, at least I can't send out my own guards, give them vague tasks, but actually just make them cannon fodder for delaying time.

If I really need to choose a part of my friends and my enemies and make a "necessary" sacrifice, I will not hesitate to let my friends survive, even if they are the minority, I am not tall Saint, I never deny that I have a selfish side.

Far away, many sacrifices are just to delay time, and time on the battlefield is always invaluable. To be able to make such a decision immediately, at least Saliman's ability as a general is already above the average level.

"Hurry up, hurry up! Are there no earth mages? Scrolls and wands are fine, strengthen the city wall for me! Adventurers, don't be stingy, no matter how much money you have, you have to earn it with your life. Scroll bookkeeping, the officials of the Principality of Sasha have agreed to reimburse it!"

The strength and height of the city wall is the life of the defenders, and although the earth mages are the most common among the four elemental mages, they have exhausted all the magic power in building the walls, and we are forced to do it. The scrolls and wands of the scattered adventurers were not spared.

Scrolls and magic wands were used one by one, the soil around Starwood City was hollowed out, and the reshaped city walls were repeatedly piled up higher and higher. The flame mage baked the city walls in the rain for second reinforcement.

"Boom!"

"Throw out that idiot who used fireballs to heat up the city walls! When is it, you're still messing with us!"

It was a rookie mage who used a fireball to dry the mud, but a big hole was blown out, and he himself became a clay figurine. Although he can understand the rookie's ability to distort orders, but the slow roasting into a flame roasting, I probably It's nice to be able to give thumbs up and praise its creativity, but other people are not so good-natured.

"The twelfth section of Nancheng District has been reinforced, the next one is there!"

The young magic swordsman drew his gray magic sword. The magic sword that had just been inserted into the ground had lost its luster. He directly replaced a spare Olivia's Magic Box. Just go to the next lot.

The most eye-catching ones in the city wall repair team are probably magic swordsmen like the Four Spirit Swordsmen. Their ability to control elements is not very high, but they can still manipulate the soil to form a wall. The weapons and equipment of the infantry also have the energy pool of magic machines, and they also have almost endless magic power to strengthen the city walls.

Of course, considering the upcoming battle, the Juyan Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment did not spend too much logistical resources. They seized the time to prepare their armor, replenish their food, adjust their weapons, and prepare for the battlefield.

The cold rain with cold air hit the faces of these strong men, but it did not make their movements deviate. Such indifferent soldiers are the most trustworthy. On the battlefield in the near future, they will definitely become the main force. As professional soldiers And guardians of this country, they have no possibility of backing down. And their companions who have sacrificed but are still fighting to the death made me re-evaluate the actual combat power of this "notorious" legion.

Word of the undead army has spread. Just to avoid shaking the morale of the army, the news of the Undead Emperor in the Undead Scourge did not spread. After all, not everyone has the courage to face the desperate situation.

In the face of a catastrophe, many adventurers responded to the official call, took out their accumulated magic scrolls and staffs, and accepted the official reorganization. It is not commonly used in the city, and the responsibility of strengthening the city wall still falls on the four spirit swordsmen.

Needless to say, as an all-rounder, the Four Spirit Swordsmen have also displayed their abilities in increasingly complex and changeable situations, and are becoming more and more popular.

"Cut, only the wall-shaping scroll will be reimbursed? A three-ring scroll is damn cheap, so it's really intentional to prevent someone from lying about the high-level scroll and taking the opportunity to make money."

"...It's at this critical point. Only you can do this kind of thing. Hey, hey, what are you doing with no face, are you really planning to lie about your consumption at this time? Do you want face? The villain is not as good as you Go too far, you villain of epic heroes!"

"Hmph, it's a pity, if my classmate Kaid, the great earth magister, is here, what do these low-level goods do, they can directly perform the miracle of casting a city overnight."

"It's a pity that he's not here...Hey, hey, you're changing the subject. You just want to cheat money and make the country rich. Can you be a little more conscious of being a positive character!"

Xingmu City is the only passage blocking the mouth of this mountain road. If it is breached here, it will be an endless plain area, and there will be no natural barriers to hinder the invasion of the undead army.

And once the undead army divides and spreads in the plains and begins massacres to replenish troops, the undead natural disasters will snowball more and more, and the threat will increase exponentially. Saliman's judgment is not wrong at all. In the plains, we There is no point in escaping anywhere. Reinforcing this small city to block the undead army and waiting for reinforcements from other city-states is definitely the only choice among the many decisions at the moment.

[... Has the background of the episode been introduced? Steal my assignment? Is that why you don't want to answer cheating questions? Even if you want to cheat money, let’s get some high-end ones, at least make a one-time stock market disaster or something to make them remember for ten years, what are you doing with this little drink money? Don't be like a person who has worked for more than ten years and finally got promoted to the section chief, happily took the family's taxi ticket to the company to reimburse the company as a privilege and benefit... I can't go on, it's so pitiful and shameful Bar! 】

"Of course, it's one thing for Saliman to choose the right one, but it's another thing to be able to do it. Judging from my many years of experience in being tricked, let alone the undead emperor, any undead emperor with a bit of reputation will be accepted here." Can't stop, um, if nothing unexpected happens."

"Pretend you didn't hear it? Forget it, say whatever you want..."

I ignored the system's sarcasm, and pretended not to see the dead cat's smirk, but I myself, standing on the city wall, couldn't bear the wind and cold, and tightened my cloak. This battle is really a bit difficult to fight.

Well, we are doing business now, let's pretend we didn't see those messy little things.

Needless to say how troublesome the Undead Emperor is, although nominally only started as a demigod, but using this as a standard, I in the heyday and Iyer who took off the title of Death God can probably be called the Undead Emperor, but we in the heyday, It is not too difficult to kill the weaker true gods. More than epic all are demigods. The power classification of the main plane is simply confusing.

"This reinforced city wall. It's more of a psychological effect...."

Yes, don’t look at them in full swing, but I’m not optimistic about them at all. The bone dragon knight striker hovering under the dark clouds has declared that we have lost the air supremacy, and the massive undead sea can easily fill up the trenches just dug The city wall reinforced with mud couldn't stop a full charge of the skeleton giant and the death cavalry, not to mention the undead emperor on the opposite side... The undead emperor is a strategic nuclear weapon, who knows what she will do.

I agree with Saliman's judgment. Because defending Xingmu City strategically is the only way, but I am not optimistic about their efforts, because the huge gap in combat power is not so easy to fill.

"It seems that I still have to make a move. I think Ruo Ling will be very excited when he sees me. Maybe the war will escalate directly."

"Even if I didn't see you, isn't it a total war? Look, this looks like an outing?"

The dead cat dozing on its shoulders opened its eyes, but the scene in those pupils was a deserted gray mountain. And in it, countless undead are slowly advancing. Ghouls, Gargoyles, Zombie Warriors, Skeleton Shooters, Banshees, Abominations, all the famous undead are there, and the legendary undead Winter Ghost that I met that night is also among them.

But no matter how many undead there are, the black army is silent and firm, and there is only the sound of skeletons moving in the whole space. For the undead army, this can only show that there are so many middle and low-level commanders who can control every noisy skeleton. The natural disaster of the undead is far more difficult to deal with than expected.

The next moment, a white bone arrow shot towards him, and the dead cat's avatar disappeared, and our information sharing came to an end. We didn't even find out where the arrow came from.

"Damn it, don't you know that battlefield reporters have safe passage! Although many of them are part-time spies, many of them die for no reason every year..."

But my nonsense did not ease the atmosphere. Facing such an undead lord, the dead cat's face is not good-looking. Of course, it is also possible that her clone turned pale from being destroyed.

"The low-level undead are not as many as the middle-level undead. This undead has not expanded to the limit. As long as they are given enough bones, their number can be expanded ten times... a hundred times! A thousand times!"

Obviously, it is not cost-effective to exchange precious soul sacrifices for entry permits of low-level undead. Those who can be brought into this plane are considered elite soldiers and strong generals. As for cannon fodder? The undead army never has to worry about lack of soldiers, and two games are enough.

Seeing such an army, I am no longer worried about whether Saliman can hold this small town, but whether they can survive the first round of undead sea charge.

And this kind of situation also made me make up my mind to take the initiative to intervene.

"Now that we have entered the realm of war, let's start the 'war', and let the undead become the enemies of the undead. Wake up, my leader of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."

When I was trying to maintain my image, the dead cat who had changed jobs to complain about bad things came again.

"...Four knights? You still have three creations of the same level? When did you do it? Why don't I know."

"Hehe, of course you don't know, this is my number one secret... Don't bite it! Can't you pretend to be forced these days? You have to gather four heavenly kings to be handsome. See, a 'war' doesn't sound like a word at all." , How handsome the four knights of the apocalypse said! How compelling! I may not be sure, that day I will really be a plague knight, death knight, famine knight, and gather the four heavenly kings! When the time comes, when I encounter the enemy, all four knights will ride Standing on a horse to show off on the top of the mountain, looking down at the enemy below, looking down coldly, making the enemy fearful without fighting, what a villain, how handsome."

"Stop it, Crow's Mouth, I already have bad omens. According to your usual style of painting, you will never make a handsome knight, you will only make an unscrupulous perverted gentleman!"

"One must have a dream! Even if that dream is destined not to come true!"

"...You all know that you can't achieve it, so why are you struggling! There is no miracle in Dajian. As a pure black-handed African, let's go hunting with a spear at ease." (To be continued..) R752
