ps: Take a break today and make up for it tomorrow
----------------------------------------
The galloping cavalry seemed to become a line on the vast land, a point, carrying a puff of smoke and dust rolling forward, accompanied by the thunderous sound of horse hooves, and finally saw the stronghold mentioned in the mission.
.
Fangblade Outpost.
The speed of the cavalry is not bad, especially when the mounts are all excellent war horses. The improvement of strength, agility, and physical attributes gives the excellent war horses superior long-distance running capabilities.
Although there was a slight "delay" on the way, the marching speed of the cannon fodder corps was much faster than the basic ration of the system~
However, even so, when the Yabian Outpost was in sight, Liu Yifei couldn't help but darken his face - it was still too late...
At this moment, there are flames and smoke billowing in the direction of the Tooth Blade Outpost!
When Liu Yifei raised his flight altitude slightly, he could see that a large number of enemy troops had emerged just north of the outpost!
Not only that...
The loud rattling noise was obviously not something human beings could make, and the red stones that were not clear but could just be seen were even more shocking to Liu Yifei!
Damn~
To deal with a small primary outpost, war machinery was actually used?
Do you want the demon army to be so ruthless...
Different from the solid walls of masonry structures of regular strongholds, small places such as outposts are either a simple high tower or a slightly more scattered wooden building, and then a fence is surrounded by simple logs.
.
It is enough to deal with the impact and harassment of ordinary beasts, but against an army it is no different from a paper defense~
The damage caused by the attack of swords and axes is not too serious for the wooden defense system. Although the opponent is also a city defense system, the defense power, texture and masonry structure are not comparable to elites such as the Bright Knight or the Heavy Cavalry.
If the troops charge once, they will be destroyed with just one stab~
To deal with such an outpost, the deployment of troops was more than enough. Liu Yifei initially thought that they would at most encounter a certain number of enemy troops.
If this is the case, then as long as their new army enters the stronghold first, the problem must not be difficult to solve. After all, Liu Yifei has brought with him about 300 seventh-level middle-grade angels!
But the system shamelessly equipped the opponent with a war machine!
Liu Yifei was completely speechless when he saw three catapults from a distance~
Is this a slap in the face?
The stronghold was destroyed by a single bombardment...
The appearance of Liu Yifei's reinforcements decisively alarmed the demon army on the opposite side. However, unexpectedly, the other side did not send troops to outflank Liu Yifei or try to prevent them from rendezvousing with the stronghold in the city because of Liu Yifei's appearance.
on the contrary.
Before Liu Yifei wanted to take the initiative to entangle the opponent and defeat him in one fell swoop, the opponent actually took the initiative to retreat!
After raising the flight altitude, Liu Yifei saw with his own eyes how slow the catapult's basic movement speed of one meter per second was.
He was so tempted that he couldn't help but rush out and dismantle the toughest siege machines~
Since a large number of demon soldiers had been eliminated before, Liu Yifei was able to use the help of a large number of enemy soldier corpses to help his subordinates assemble a bone dragon.
With the help of a bone dragon, spiritual servants and angel troops.
Even without the help of others, Liu Yifei was absolutely sure to attack and dismantle the enemy's catapult!
As long as this thing is destroyed, Liu Yifei will definitely be able to defend this outpost... and even use this to further consume the enemy's troops!
It's a pity that as a commander, he had just approached the Yaren Outpost. He was immediately discovered by the higher local commander, the commander of the vertical regiment. He immediately issued an order to his entire "independent regiment" to rush there at full speed.
Rendezvous at the base...
"Tsk~ It's been delayed."
Liu Yifei secretly spat somewhat unwillingly, but he had no choice but to lower his height and gradually fall into the outpost...
It is said to be an outpost, but in Liu Yifei's opinion, the only word "ruin" can be used to describe this dilapidated stronghold full of traces of war.
It is suggested that most of the wooden walls have been destroyed by several rounds of stone-throwing attacks by the enemy. Especially the wall in the front direction, there are almost no wooden branches left standing there~
And due to the large number of Gog-type arsonists in the enemy group, the dilapidated wooden ruins were still burning fiercely. No wonder Liu Yifei saw the fireworks soaring into the sky from a long distance away.
Fortunately, the most important tower in the outpost is made of stone, although it is not high. But the quality of the construction seems to be pretty good, and it has more or less withstood the opponent's first round of impact...
As soon as Liu Yifei entered the stronghold, the system defaulted that they had arrived successfully, and the next plot unfolded naturally~
But what Liu Yifei didn't expect was that the order given to him by the regimental commander was neither to help retreat, nor to prepare for an attack, nor to repair the city defense, but to rescue the wounded!!!
Damn it~
Is it because most of the Angels are in the team?
Liu Yifei just silently looked at the injured areas around him... the spearmen with short legs, the crossbowmen with broken arms, the griffins with their hair burned off, the swordsmen with half of their bodies missing...
.
Damn it!
Do these wounded soldiers really need medical treatment?
Even if this thing is rescued, it will still be crippled with no fighting ability!
It's a pity that "military orders" cannot be disobeyed, especially in this situation where there is absolutely no choice...
Therefore, the Angel Corps that entered the city later had no choice but to disperse and try their best to save people!
Of course, Liu Yifei would not waste time at this time. He quickly led the remaining men to sort out the territory's combat strength.
At that end, it is up to the players to count the effective troops that can still fight... The results obtained make Liu Yifei worried!
Damn~
A commander of a vertical regiment has at least two regiments with a thousand men under him. His effective combat strength is less than 300 men?
Liu Yifei was so anxious that he almost jumped off the building!
These guys got to this point, with a disability rate of over 70%. How dare they not collapse?
They are considered awesome...
The total number of people on both sides was barely 800. Fortunately, Liu Yifei had just wiped out the enemy's 4,000 defeated troops on the way back. Otherwise, if the other side's troops were allowed to join together, they would really not have to fight~
There are eight hundred troops. Liu Yifei on the opposite side roughly estimated that there should be more than 3,000 people... maybe 3,500 or so.
It's not a big problem for Liu Yifei. If he can be given command, it won't be difficult to eradicate him completely!
It's just that the three catapults in the opponent's team are too annoying. Captain Zong told Liu Yifei that those are level three catapults, with an attack range of more than 300 meters, and they are definitely the biggest threat to this dilapidated stronghold.
Here Liu Yifei could only gather as many corpses as possible.
Whether it's from human soldiers or from the demons who retreated before...
Of course, Liu Yifei did this not without purpose~
Since the commander of the regiment requested on-site treatment, it was obvious that he had no intention of abandoning the stronghold. Otherwise, with the number of griffins in his remaining troops, it would not be difficult to disperse and escape back to "report the news".
And if it is attacked by the enemy again, the numerical weakness on our side is likely to cause a large number of attrition!
Fortunately, Liu Yifei also has a group of powerful subordinates who can summon the undead, which really helped him a lot at this time~
To Liu Yifei's expectation, the corpses from all over the dilapidated stronghold were gathered together into a mountain-like pile, more than two thousand corpses...
Even though Liu Yifei was already familiar with the large number of bloody corpses, he couldn't help but feel slightly moved after seeing the death state of many soldiers who were "scuffled" with the demon corpses!
These expressions of anger, excitement or fanaticism were all condensed on the final faces of the warriors, spearmen, swordsmen and even crossbowmen.
Liu Yifei had never seen a corpse of his own with expressions of fear, regret or cowardice on his face.
On the contrary, some lemures rushed up. The expression of the horned devil looked quite bad, and the battle loss ratio close to one to three in a battle that was almost like a plain encounter showed the strength and bravery of the warriors!
To be honest~
Looking at the equipment levels of these soldiers, and considering the harsh conditions here, Liu Yifei is not necessarily sure that he can lead the same subordinates to achieve the same results...
Therefore, at least in that battle just now, it seemed that the Fang Blade Stronghold was not lost.
However, this comparison is just based on simple data. Without the support of Liu Yifei and the others, the remaining 300 stronghold troops would never be able to cope with the flanking attack of the opponent's two corps of nearly 4,000 men at the front and rear!
Liu Yifei suddenly felt a sense of admiration for this regiment that could persist in the face of superior enemies...
Although it was a bit blasphemous to the heroic spirits, Liu Yifei could not simply burn these corpses. Under the summons of more than a dozen spirit-level heroic servants, the powerful and rich undead power quickly gathered on the hill-like stone pile, and caused a large number of corpses to be burned.
The corpse is constantly twisting, expanding, and exploding~
Roar~~~
Roar~~~
A roar sounded like it was about to tear the sky apart~
The blue flames suddenly won the stronghold!
Dozens of skull dragons struggled to get out of the hill-like corpses, shaking off the rocks and mud on their bodies, while constantly letting out their first-born roars toward the sky!
Fortunately, these servant heroes are all of the spirit level. Their understanding of the structure of the undead is much better than that of a "rookie" like Liu Yifei, otherwise Liu Yifei would not be able to afford the dragon crystals needed to summon so many bone dragons.
In addition to these bone dragon servants, the remaining corpses are only enough for the undead heroes to summon some of their other servants... In short, the number of corpses is limited. It is impossible to allow the heroes to free their hands and feet to gather
Army of the Undead.
In fact, after providing enough bones for this group of bone dragons, there were not many corpses left that were originally like a hill, so the heroes could only selectively summon some more useful support units.
"Huh~~~"
Seeing that he had another backbone in his hands, Liu Yifei breathed a sigh of relief.
According to his observations, the opponent's demon army was quite large in number, but there was no high-level demon host.
This is a huge advantage for Liu Yifei!
With the number of angels and bone dragons on hand, it might be enough to even launch a strong attack! But those three catapults are very troublesome, and they must be solved first.
However, when Liu Yifei came to his senses, he was shocked!
It turned out that at some point, the commander "Redes" had actually stood next to Liu Yifei!
Just when Liu Yifei was concentrating on the birth of the bone dragon, Redes was actually watching silently.
Seeing Liu Yifei discovering him, this old soldier who looked quite old stared at Liu Yifei deeply, which made Liu Yifei's heart go crazy, and then he said quietly:
"If in normal times you dared to desecrate the remains of my soldiers like this, I would make you pay ten times the price!
But for now...
Vice leader, I only want you to promise me one thing!
We must not let my brave subordinates serve as bait for your undead in vain!
Even if you change your appearance, I want you to promise me not to waste any of their contributions and combat power."
Redes looked deeply at Liu Yifei, but his face that was covered with ravines of time had a completely different pair of eyes that were shining with ecstasy!
It was as if the light of wisdom could penetrate directly into Liu Yifei's heart. At this moment, players like Liu Yifei who had seen various high-level NPCs couldn't help but feel a slight palpitation in their hearts.
It seems that as long as you give a bad answer, the other party may kill you with a knife...
"In the name of the Lord of Darkness and all the dead!
Their sacrifice must not be wasted!
Every drop of blood shed by the warriors will be repaid tenfold by the enemy!"
Liu Yifei fiercely clenched his right fist and beat his chest. He performed a most solemn knight's salute.
"Very good... then, if necessary, you can use it as you like even if it's my old bones! And all my subordinates and all my warriors!
Remember, there is only one condition!
Even if it means death, even if it means completely disappearing from the world, I will send more demons away!"
The commander patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder and left. At this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly received a mission progress notification from the system, reminding Liu Yifei that he had gained "Redes' trust". He also commanded during the execution of the saw-saw mission.
Undead legions and Terran armies will no longer lower morale.
Depend on!!!
Is there such a cool reward?
Liu Yifei couldn't help being surprised!
Only then did he remember that although this was a campaign dungeon, some basic rules must remain unchanged!
To be able to become a mid-level non-commissioned officer like a "longitudinal commander", he is definitely a hero-level NPC. His intelligence and freedom must be high enough. How could he turn a blind eye to Liu Yifei's behavior of "defiling" the remains of a warrior without saying a word?
Fortunately, Liu Yifei completed the hidden settings of the system, otherwise God knows how things will be dealt with later...
Liu Yifei, who had a false alarm, accelerated the preparation progress.
After completing the accumulation of troops, the spiritual servants summoned a large number of bone walls on the front wall to enhance the defense of the stronghold.
This must be considered an unexpected situation for the system.
Because although the wizards of the ghost race are far inferior to the priests of the human race in terms of gain and recovery, they are proficient in battle formation layout.
Various bone-based spells can even allow a powerful necromancer to quickly gather in an open place in the wild to build a temporary fortress made of magic!
And when there are as many as twelve such powerful wizards...
The defense of the "renovated" stronghold is even much stronger than the previous simple outpost!
But before Liu Yifei could be proud, the demon army on the opposite side had already shouted and moved forward again. Just by looking at the opponent's marching formation, Liu Yifei knew that the opponent was definitely not a tentative attack...
"Report!
The sentry reported that two enemy reinforcements were found ten miles away to the west, with a total number of over ten thousand! They will reach the outpost in ten minutes at most!"
Just when Liu Yifei was muttering about how he planned to deal with these demonic troops who overestimated their capabilities, the NPC Sentinel's sudden return made Liu Yifei shocked and speechless for a moment!
What?
Are there any reinforcements?
Depend on!
The human army that is holding up a thousand troops here is almost fighting against the opponent's 20,000 troops. It's like a saw!
If I wasn't strong enough, I would have been trampled on by the enemy countless times. Why don't I be so deceptive?
However, even though he was complaining like this in his heart, Liu Yifei was suddenly stunned!
Could it be that...
Is the enemy's military power increasing strangely because too many players have poured into the dungeon?
Damn it!
If that's the case...
That’s really a scam!
And just when Liu Yifei was scratching his head in anxiety, the commander Redes immediately issued the first order...and this order alone scared Liu Yifei to the point where he almost wiped his neck and committed suicide!
hold fast!!!
Damn~
The enemy's army is currently surrounded by strong reinforcements behind it, and although our own offensive power is insufficient, it is not without its strength.
He actually chose to wait?
This is almost the same as committing suicide!
In Liu Yifei's view, it is not too late to try to eliminate the enemy's initial strength within ten minutes, and then think about whether to retreat or fight~
But if you wait in vain... isn't that a typical waste of fighter time?
However, when Liu Yifei tried to explain to the "smart" Redes, he ignored Liu Yifei's words at all. He only said one sentence over and over again:
"No matter what, I will never abandon the wounded soldiers in the camp and escape alone!
And once we engage in a full-scale counterattack, it is very likely that we will force our opponent to attack in an all-out manner!
Although we do have more powerful elite forces, once the enemy breaks through the defense...their larger number of soldiers will be enough to instantly overwhelm the wounded troops who have no ability to protect themselves!
At least until my soldiers regain their ability to move, I will never give them the slightest chance to harm my men!"
Redes's voice is resounding, representing a mid-level officer's love and noble personality for his subordinates...
However, Liu Yifei was so angry that he almost couldn't help scolding his mother!
Damn~
If you stick to it, just stick to it!
Why was the command authority of the Angel Corps suddenly stripped away?
Damn it!
At present, all the angels have been forcibly taken over by Redes to treat the wounded soldiers. Before the treatment of the wounded soldiers is completed, let alone attack, these angels cannot even be used for defense!
Damn~
Without this army, how can Liu Yifei fight?
The enemy army was approaching step by step, and even the rumble of catapults made Liu Yifei break into a cold sweat!
You actually fly this kind of aircraft at such a critical time...
