Chapter 19 This is the ghost mouth!

Hearing Valed say this, Nephrata rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking to himself: "It's coming again, the stupid ambitious guy just likes to talk nonsense." This sentence was also sent to Valed's mind with strong psychological suggestion. However, looking at his appearance, it was completely unaffected. It must have ignored Nephrata.

"Oh, are there any other tactics that can come in handy faster?" Unlike Nephrata's attitude towards Valed, Orah sincerely wanted to talk to her. After all, there was no conflict between him and Nephrata...at least there has been no conflict in the past few hundred years.

"It's true." Vared said: "It's not the timely unusable device I named Hawkeye. I'm afraid the next thing I'm going to mention is more practical - Commander Orah, what are the disadvantages that restrict our undead troops from exerting their combat effectiveness in mountainous areas?"

Hearing Vulue's question, Orah replied without thinking: "It's the terrain. The broken mountains cannot be unfolded by the large army, which limits the transportation of our army's large weapons and also restricts the speed of our army's advance."

"Yes, that's it." Valed laughed and continued, "What I mentioned is the troops that can get rid of the terrain restrictions, be able to march quickly, and line up."

"A new undead army?" asked Orah.

"It can't be said to be new. Generally speaking, it should be considered an improved thing." Vared said this, and was not ready to continue to pretend, so he made his answer public: "It's a ghost."

"Ghost? Are the ghosts you are talking about, the same thing as the ghosts we know?" Nephrata asked back when he heard Valed say this, "It is those ghosts that are not physical, translucent, and have almost no attack power?"

"So it's improved." Vared said easily: "In fact, in recent times, our research has made some progress. We have achieved a technology that can integrate weapons and equipment into the ghost's body and make it semi-spirited. It's like this."

He said, and escaped a record crystal and opened it. On the holographic image, a ghost image wearing half-body armor, a steel helmet on his head, holding a scimitar and a round shield appeared. And that set of weapons, as Vared said, was completely consistent with the nature and color of the miserable white, translucent ghost, as if it was integrated.

In front of it was a row of wooden dummy targets. What happened next was obvious. The ghost screamed and waved his scimitar to cut the fragile dummy target into pieces.

Vared further said: "

"In addition to being equipped with scimitars and shields, these soldiers can also use other weapons such as shield spears, super spears, halberds, and great swords. These weapons are integrated into its body, and the weapons and equipment they use can be changed at any time according to the situation."

As Vared finished speaking, the ghost's sword and shield were retracted into his body, and the spirit body changed, changing the weapons mentioned above, applying them one by one, destroying all the targets.

"It's a pity that after the projectile of a ranged weapon is transformed into a pellet, its lethality will decrease a lot, and it will cause great damage to the ghost itself if it is separated from the ghost body. Therefore, these ghost soldiers cannot use any long-range attack weapons."

"The fanatical attitude is worthy of recognition, and it is understandable... After all, this is a common problem with ghost-type undead. Even higher-level spirit-binding demons and stone tomb corpse demons... However, this combat power seems to..."

As if he was concerned about Valed's face, the Grand Commander Orah paused after saying this, as if he was considering his words. However, before that, Nephrata said mercilessly:

"It's too weak, and its strength is not even as good as that of ordinary skeleton soldiers, and its combat skills are not as good as that of high-level soldiers like the Ishimatsu Corpse Demon and the Spirit-Binding Demon. This level of ghost is as low as the combat power of the zombies summoned directly through the undead witchcraft."

"It's true." Vared nodded and said disrespectfully: "But these ghosts... ghost soldiers are not useless. First of all, their manufacturing costs are low, their manufacturing costs are not expensive, and the required materials do not conflict with the skeleton soldiers. Secondly, although their single combat power is weak, their mobility is excellent, and it is the most suitable for assault troops or mountain combat troops. For example, in this situation... For example, the battle formation between us and the dwarves, the ghost troops will be the most effective army."

"Fly... it's true. But we have other types of flying troops, such as gargoyles, or undead dragons." Nephrata continued.

"Different." Vared had not spoken yet, but Codmus came to his senses and said to Nephrata: "The undead dragon is indeed powerful. However, the materials it needs are too rare and the manufacturing time it takes is too long.

It is not suitable for large-scale high-intensity combat needs. As for gargoyles... they also have flaws. Although the stone and magic crystals required for their materials are not rare, they are still too expensive in comparison. Moreover, the gargoyles' control system is a puppet mechanism, not a necromancer, and it is very difficult to use it on a large scale. This also destined that this army cannot be equipped on a large scale in Silvania."

"In addition, it also has the disadvantage of consuming too much energy and having a short range. It cannot advance on its own during the march and needs to use a carriage or other vehicle to move. This mobility is incomparable to the ghosts who act as ghosts, which can operate freely without energy consumption. In addition, gargoyles have weaknesses such as being unable to use weapons and being unable to arrange a formation. This destined that gargoyles can only serve as auxiliary forces for air forces and cannot form an army alone."

On the other side, Orah also added a few sentences.

Nephrata was even more unhappy when he saw that the other three people were all good as if they were from the same country. The arrogant countess said with a little slight slight slander:

"If you consume magic crystals, have a short range and need a vehicle to march, isn't the latest ghost scorpion mantle the same? There are also many types of undead who cannot fight in a formation. Just like the stone tomb corpse monster and spirit-binding monster mentioned before."

Hearing these completely unreasonable words, Vared and Kodems both smiled bitterly and shook their heads without saying anything. After all, Orah was of great age and was of the same era as Nephrata. He had a deep friendship, so he explained one more sentence:

"That's different, because the tasks undertaken by both sides are different. The ghost scorpion mantle is used as an assault force for positional warfare, and the same is true for the same. The different ghost warriors, their number and nature determine that their tactical uses are very wide. They can concentrate in battles and airborne to enemy positions to fight to disrupt the opponent's array. They can also be strategically used as assault troops to quickly and unexpectedly bypass the opponent's front and attack the strategic points behind the enemy. I think if such an army is formed, it will not only be used in the battle between the mountains and the dwarf kingdom. In other wars that follow, this army can also have excellent results."

"I am worthy of being the commander of the Grand Orah." Vared sighed again. This was the third time he had sincerely praised Orah von Aberhracin's military talent so much in this meeting. Nevrata, who was speechless, said nothing anymore, but just snorted proudly to express his disdain for these stinky men.

Next, Vared came to an end and said that at present, about 5,000 ghost soldiers had been manufactured and equipped in the arsenal led by Earl Castein. It took only two days to reach the front line. After hearing the news, the other... the two counts were very excited. Vared discussed with them how to use this batch of reinforcements.

After that, Vared made up his mind: "So, do not do it again and again, and then draw a group of vampire officers, then draw the undead dragon out of three to form a top assault force with these ghost soldiers. When the opponent's main force was still attracted by the Sylvanian army, he directly raided the dwarf fortress Karak Hull in the rear of the opponent, occupied the fortress and cut off the dwarfs' retreat!"

In this way, after the order of Valed, the Sylvanian army, which was struggling to advance in the southern mountainous areas, was in chaos. The first thing to discuss was the way to deal with the raid of the dwarf troops:

The vampire officers were centrally used, and three people continued to use detection magic to scan the vicinity. The worker ant troops used in centrally were constantly maintaining and repairing roads as engineers. New roads were also under slow construction. At the same time, the Chaos Dwarfs who were still stranded in Silvania also contributed the tunnel network maps they owned in the southern mountainous areas - although this drawing was already an old antique from thousands of years ago. For Valed, it was better to have it than not.
