A cold wind carrying a putrid smell blows in the face, dark clouds gather in the sky, and the pattering of light rain has nothing romantic at all. The muddy ground and damp and cold climate will increase physical exertion, and this is obviously only beneficial to the tireless undead.
"The target is about to contact the second line of defense."
"Have everyone withdrawn? How many people are there on the first line of defense?"
"There are still two teams that have no time 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 that good. The temporary protective barrier will probably only delay time."
Many war reports come and go like pieces of paper, and every time a war suddenly breaks out, it is the same, with very little good news and dozens of bad news.
Among the many unfortunate news, it is probably that Link did a good deed before his death. The Giant Rock Heavy Infantry Regiment he brought with him totaled more than 3,000 people. According to the regular establishment, it was three brigades of elite heavy armor.
The infantry were divided into three squads to block the mouth of the gorge, and even established a reconnaissance post there and performed patrol missions.
When the undead came, the outposts and patrol routes they set up inside the gorge became the first line of defense, but no one expected them to be able to defend it.
When Saliman took command, he did not ignore these golden warriors who were originally in a hostile position. Instead, he sent reinforcements in the hope 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!"
Sandy, the deputy commander of the Giant Rock Heavy Corps, is a giant sweater with barbarian blood, but at this time, he has no choice but to obey the command of his "enemy".
From the moment the Undead Emperor came, the civil war in the Principality of Sasha became meaningless. In the face of the undead natural disaster that swept everything, there was no difference between loyalty to the royal family and loyalty to Marquis Tariq. Anyway, they were both fighting for the living.
war.
Sandy was not a fool. He knew that if he fled back like this, just the assassination of His Highness Link would make him, as a follower, angry with the royal family. The only way to survive now was to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield as much as possible.
Of course, this presupposes that the surviving people win this war. Otherwise, there will be no principality, and there will naturally be no settling of accounts.
In my opinion, "Blood Spear" Sallyman may have a bad reputation due to her record of massacres, but judging from the current situation, she does have two skills. At least, she is ruthless enough to control her troops and is willing to spend a lot of money.
From the ruins in the mountains and canyons, if the undead wanted to come out, they would have to go through a long mountain road, so she sent out suicide squads to blow up part of the mountain road 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 troop type. The speed of the regular undead legion with skeletons is not very fast. Coupled with the mountain roads and slippery rainy days, the speed is even slower.
A landslide on a hillside and mudslides caused by man-made explosions are powerful tools to delay the march, and the undead army's inherent disadvantage makes them move slower and slower.
In the face of the Bone Dragon Knights and Death Knight Generals sent by the undead to patrol, even if they are lucky enough to successfully complete the mountain road blasting mission, these warriors who perform the delaying mission will basically not be able to come back.
In the temporary headquarters of Zixing Mucheng, in order to reach a consensus as much as possible, and in order not to waste fighter opportunities by internal wrangling at this critical moment, Saliman sent his direct descendants for these sacrifice missions.
"Strive to save current allies who were once mortal enemies" and "give priority to sacrificing direct lineage of personal guards who are loyal to oneself" may sound lofty but are extremely stupid in terms of military strategy, but in a temporary alliance that does not trust each other, it is very important.
A valuable style, at least, the image of a fair and obedient leader has emerged.
Maybe this won't do much to unite the already conflicted living people, but it's still much better than "the coalition leader who fell into trouble" and "the bastard who let other people die", and at least it reduces civil strife.
possibility.
"Sallyman, has she ever been ranked among famous generals?"
"No, how could there be a general from a local lord in a small country? Why, do you think she is good?"
"...Maybe it will happen in the future."
Yes, 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 it better than her. At least I can't send out my own guards and give them vague tasks. In fact, I just let them become cannon fodder to delay time.
If I really need to choose some of my friends and my enemies and make "necessary" sacrifices, I will not hesitate to let my friends survive, even if they are in the minority. I am not a tall person.
Saint, I never deny that I have a selfish side.
Going too far, many sacrifices are just to delay time, and time on the battlefield is always a priceless treasure. Being 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 or wands will do. Reinforce the city wall for me! Adventurers, don't be stingy. No matter how much money you make, you still have to earn it with your life. Use the wall shaping skills
The official of the Principality of Sasha has agreed to reimburse the scroll for accounting!"
The strength and height of the city wall are the life of the defenders. Although earth mages are the most common among the four elemental mages, they have exhausted all their magic power in building the wall. We are forced to have no choice.
The scrolls and wands of the scattered adventurers have not been spared.
Scrolls and wands were used one by one, the soil around Starwood City was hollowed out, and the reshaped city walls were repeatedly piled higher and higher. The fire mage baked the city walls in the rain and carried out secondary reinforcements.
"Boom!"
"Throw that fool who uses fireballs to heat the city wall out! Why are you still causing trouble for us?"
It was a rookie mage who used fireballs to dry mud, but ended up blowing out a big hole. He himself became a clay figurine. Although I can understand the ability of rookies to distort orders, but the slow roasting on a low fire turned into a flame roasting, I probably
It's nice to be able to thumb up and praise someone for their creativity, but other people are not so good-natured.
"The reinforcement of Section 12 in Nancheng District has been completed, that's next!"
The young magic swordsman drew the gray magic sword. The magic sword that had just been inserted into the ground had lost its luster. He directly replaced it with a spare Olivia's Magic Box and headed to the next area.
The most eye-catching among the city wall emergency repair team are probably the magic swordsmen like the Four Spirit Swordsmen. Their ability to control elements is not very high, but they can still control the soil to form earth walls. In addition, those heavily equipped
The weapons and equipment among the infantry also have magical mechanical energy pools, and they also have almost endless magic power to strengthen the city walls.
Of course, considering the upcoming war, the Giant Rock Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment did not spend too much logistical resources. They were seizing the time to prepare armor, replenish food, adjust weapons, and prepare for the battlefield.
The cold rain with the chill hit the faces of these strong men, but it did not cause any deviation in their movements. Such indifferent soldiers are the most trustworthy. On the battlefield in the near future, they will inevitably become the main force, as professional soldiers
With the guardians of this country, there is no possibility for them to retreat. And their companions who have sacrificed their lives but still refuse to retreat have made me re-evaluate the actual combat power of this "infamous" legion.
The news of the Undead Legion has spread. Just to avoid shaking the morale of the army, the news of the Undead Emperor in the Undead Natural Disaster has not spread. After all, not everyone has the courage to face desperate situations.
Faced with the disaster, many adventurers responded to the official call, took out their accumulated magic scrolls and staffs, and accepted the official reorganization. However, it is a pity that the earth magic scrolls such as reinforcing city walls are in danger.
It is not commonly used in the city, and the responsibility of strengthening the city wall still falls on the Four Spirit Swordsmen.
Not to mention, as a versatile Four Spirit Swordsman, he has also used his abilities in increasingly complex and changeable situations, and has become more and more popular.
"Exactly, are you only going to reimburse me for the Wall Shaping Scroll? A three-ring scroll is extremely cheap. You really want to prevent someone from lying about high-level scrolls and taking advantage of the opportunity to make money."
"...At this point, only you can do this kind of thing. Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing with such shame? Do you really plan to lie about your consumption at this time? Do you still want to be shameless? None of the villains are as outrageous as you.
Come on, you villain among epic heroes!"
"Hmph, it's a pity. If my classmate Kaid, the great earth mage, was here, and what are these low-level people doing, they could directly perform the miracle of building a city in one night."
"It's a pity that he's not here...Hey, hey, hey, you're changing the subject. You just want to defraud money and enrich the country. Can you be a little more conscious of your positive role?"
Starwood City is the only passage blocking the mouth of this mountain road. If this place is broken through, it will be an endless plain area, and there will no longer be any natural obstacles to hinder the invasion of the undead army.
Once the undead army divides and spreads in the plains and begins to carry out massacres to replenish its troops, the undead natural disasters will snowball and the threats will grow exponentially. Saliman’s judgment is not wrong at all. In the plains area, 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.
"Of course, it is one thing for Saliman to make the right choice, but whether he can do it is another matter. Based on my years of experience in being tricked, any undead king with some reputation will be accepted here, let alone the Undead King.
If nothing happens, well, if nothing else happens."
"Pretend you didn't hear it? Forget it, just say whatever you want..."
I ignored the system's sarcasm and pretended not to see the dead cat's evil smile. However, standing on the city wall, I couldn't bear the cold wind and tightened my cloak. This battle was really difficult to fight.
Well, we are doing business now, so just ignore those messy little things.
It goes without saying how troublesome the Undead Emperor is. Although he is only a demigod in name, but using this as a standard, I and Aye, who took off the title of Death God in his heyday, can probably be called the Undead Emperor. But in our heyday, we,
It's not too difficult to kill the weaker true gods. All the ones who are more than epic are demigods. The power classification of the main plane is simply confusing.
"This reinforced city wall is more of a psychological effect..."
Yes, even though they are doing it in full swing, I am not optimistic about them at all. The forwards of the Bone Dragon Knights hovering under the dark clouds have announced that we have lost air supremacy. The massive sea of undead can easily fill up the newly dug trench.
The city wall reinforced with soil could not stop the full charge of the Skeleton Giant and the Death Cavalry, not to mention the Undead Emperor on the opposite side... The Undead Emperor was a strategic nuclear weapon, who knew what she would do.
I agree with Saliman's judgment, because strategically defending Starwood City 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 take action. I think if Zero sees me, he will probably be very excited. Maybe the war will escalate directly."
"Even if I don't see you, isn't it a total war? Look, this looks like an outing?"
The dead cat napping on his shoulder opened his eyes, but the scene in his eyes was a deserted gray mountainous land. In it, countless undead were slowly advancing. Ghouls, gargoyles, zombie warriors, skeleton shooters,
There are banshees, abominations, and all the famous undead spirits, including the legendary undead winter ghost that I encountered that night.
But no matter how many undead there are, the black army is silent and determined, and there is only the clicking sound of skeletons in the entire space. For the undead army, this only means that there are enough middle and low-level commanders to control every noisy skeleton. This level
The undead natural disaster is far more difficult to deal with than expected.
The next moment, a white bone arrow was shot towards us, and the dead cat's clone turned into nothing. Our intelligence sharing ended here, and we didn't even discover where the arrow came from.
"Damn it, didn't you know that battlefield reporters have safe passage? Although many of them are part-time spies, many of them die inexplicably every year..."
But my nonsense did not lighten the atmosphere. Faced with such an undead lord, Dead Cat's face would not look good. Of course, it is possible that her clone's face would turn pale due to being destroyed.
"There are not as many low-level undead as there are middle-level undead. This undead has not expanded to its limit yet. As long as you give them enough bones, their number can instantly expand ten times...a hundred times! a thousand times!"
Obviously, it is not cost-effective to exchange precious soul sacrifices for the entry permission of low-level undead. Those who can be brought into this plane are considered elite soldiers. As for cannon fodder? The undead army never has to worry about lack of soldiers. It can fight twice.
That's enough.
Seeing such a military situation, I no longer worried about whether Saliman could hold the town, but whether they could survive the first round of the sea of dead's charge.
This situation also made me determined to intervene proactively.
"Now that we have entered the realm of war, let the 'war' begin. Let the undead become the enemy 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 and complained about being a bad guy came again.
"...Four Horsemen? You have three other creations of the same level? When did you make them? Why didn't I know?"
"Haha, of course you don't know, this is my number one secret... Don't bite it! Can't you just pretend to be cool these days? You have to have the Four Heavenly Kings to be handsome. Look, talking about a 'war' doesn't sound very exciting at all. Tianqi
The Four Horsemen said how handsome they are! How cool they are! I can’t tell you, I was so cool that day

When fighting, he makes the enemy fearful. He has the demeanor of a villain and a boss, and he is so handsome."
"Stop talking, Crow Mouth, I already have an ominous sign. According to your usual style of painting, you will never make a handsome knight, you will only make an unscrupulous perverted gentleman!"
"People must have dreams! Even if that dream is destined to not come true!"
"...You know you can't achieve it, so why are you still struggling! There are no miracles in Dajian. As a pure black-handed African, you should just go hunting with a spear in peace." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels.
