Within two days, skeletons came under the Three-Bend Bridge, and people above also noticed it.
"Report, those undead creatures have discovered the Three-Bend Bridge and are gathering below."
The regiment leader received the report. Although he had been prepared for it, he was facing a new war so soon. He also had a headache. "Strengthen the defense and let you investigate the situation. Have you investigated clearly?"
"Reporting to the captain, after our investigation, the number of undead is at least 100,000, and I'm afraid it will be more."
They didn't set up sentries below, so there was no way to find out how many there were specifically. They just looked at the skeletons that kept gathering in the forest. It was roughly more than 100,000.
"How on earth did he do it? One person can actually develop so much. Is it really so easy for the undead to develop?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not like we don't have the undead camp. Don't you know how difficult it is to develop? There are also how many people in the discussion forum are scolding themselves for getting the undead camp. It's not easy to develop this camp at all."
This is true, but Fang Jie's development is a bit too exaggerated.
Regarding Fang Jie, they also collected some information and knew that Fang Jie relied on one person to develop. Although there are other people under him now, they are all managed by the person named Qin Lan.
Few people know what Fang Jie's condition is.
It is precisely because of this reason that it is absolutely right for Fang Jie to rely on one person to develop.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops. More than 2,000 people in their military district have gathered together. With such a huge advantage, the current number of regular troops is only this.
With one person, he was able to develop to this point in a short period of time. They would not believe that Fang Jie had no secrets.
"Please note that this is only the exploration force, not the real main force at all."
In the past two days, they had been actively searching for a lot of information, snooping around and getting to know Fang Jie better. They already knew that Fang Jie had indeed sent two teams to explore in two directions.
This is not the main force of our own local army, it can only be regarded as a part.
Judging from the news received and the direction in which the undead came, they should be exploring towards the north.
At first, they also doubted whether they were wrong. Those undead were not from Fang Jie's team. However, the intelligence collected in the past few days basically confirmed that this matter was correct.
Under the Three-Bend Bridge, after a day of gathering, more than half a million skeletons have gathered here.
However, most of them are in the forest, where it is impossible to see clearly from above, and no one dares to observe them at close range in this situation. That's why the intelligence of those above made such big mistakes.
"Didn't you find any other way up the mountain?" Coster said.
Dorora shook her head: "There is nothing within a few dozen kilometers nearby. This should be the only way up the mountain. Even if there are other roads, they are too far and are not suitable for us to explore."
Coster nodded: "In that case, let's attack. If we can capture this place, this will be our territory from now on." Although the losses may be heavy, as a pioneering army, Coster does not want to stop just like this.
"Attention, the undead are about to attack. Everyone is ready. Do not stop the rear logistics."
The soldiers above who had already prepared for defense also ordered their troops to come over and prepare for battle.
The people on the military side mainly developed two territories: humans and orcs. At this time, a large number of humans were already in position with stones. There was no way, they originally had more archers, but they were not suitable for dealing with skeletons.
In front, Orc warriors and Orc spear throwers were in position, ready to fight at any time. There were also some Orc warriors at the back, all of which were at the Black Iron level. Because they were too expensive, not many were produced.
At the same time, the black iron level human warriors are also waiting further away.
Although the focus of development is on the racial force of orcs, human beings still prefer humans as their own species based on their aesthetics. If these orcs were not powerful and suitable for early development, they would not necessarily regard them as a priority.
The passage connecting the plateau to the lower part is called the Three-Bend Bridge.
At this moment, the skeletons have already begun to climb the first section of the road. The reason why the Three-Bend Bridge is called so is because there are three sections of the road. The first section is the gentlest, very wide, and rises to nearly two-thirds of the height.
Location.
The troops above have begun to throw stones down. The height difference between two thousand meters and the force produced by the stones is very terrifying. As long as it is hit, it will be light if it is missing arms or legs.
And because there are so many skeletons, you can hit the target just by throwing them.
Also because there were too many skeletons, no matter how hard they tried, they could not stop the skeletons from climbing. In the end, they could only watch the skeletons running to the first platform one by one.
After coming up to this platform, the next step is the second section of the road. This section of the road is very narrow, far from being comparable to the previous road.
Starting from this place, the distance from above became even closer, and the orc spear throwers began to strike more accurately.
Pieces of skeletons were either smashed or fell from above. At this height, if a skeleton fell, it would be a dead end, and it would be absolutely impossible to survive.
Even an armored zombie wouldn't be able to survive a fall from such a height.
However, the skeleton is not afraid of death, and despite such attacks, it still keeps pace.
Soon, the skeletons reached the second platform.
Then we turn and it’s the last section of the road, which is also the most difficult section to walk. The length is about 200 meters, and the slope almost reaches an angle of 45°, making it difficult for normal people to climb.
Because the ground is almost made of stones and weathered ground, the skeletons would slip and fall from time to time while climbing. Even if one skeleton fell, more skeletons would be knocked down.
Above, the orcs pushed some rolling stones and began to throw them down.
One stone is a string, and the skeletons' losses are huge.
"The last section of the road doesn't look easy to walk on. Should we let the skeleton warriors go up it?"
"No, the losses for the higher-level troops are too great now. Let the skeleton laborers rush up and build the stairs from below." After this period of fighting, Coster's experience and thinking have increased a lot.
If it were before, he wouldn't have been able to think of such a method.
The combat effectiveness of skeleton laborers is not good, but when it is used to build buildings and rest on the ground, it cannot be compared to skeleton soldiers. The most important thing is that it consumes less.
