The undead side is large in scale, slow in speed, and has poor quality per soldier. With such an army composition, it is very difficult to catch Liu Yifei's highly mobile elite force. As long as they fail to capture the opponent immediately, they will basically have to follow.
Eating dust in the opponent's rear... Especially after discovering that there are actually caster squadrons and even mounted archer units in the human army, the cost of continuing to advance south will be unimaginably high.
Although Liu Yifei has the intention to destroy the enemy, he only has the power to stop the enemy. In the end, he can only let the opponent leave after hurting him. It can be regarded as a moderate victory...
In fact, if conditions permit, Liu Yifei really wants to completely annihilate this elite unit of the undead party, which is only a few thousand strong in front of him - even if it is impossible to annihilate them all, at least he must completely cripple the opponent's organization!
Because when fighting against undead enemies, a very important rule is to disperse the opponent as much as possible, and then take the opportunity to destroy it!!
It can be said that on the Entagri continent, the Kingdom of Diya has the "mobilization ability" of horrific wars that is unrivaled in the entire continent - these bastard monsters who deserve to go to hell can even "mobilize" the opponents who have just died in the middle of the battle on the spot.
corpse, and made it "rebellion" on the spot to join the army of the undead...
Who can do this besides the necromancer?
In addition, these inhumane guys start wars with others and love to dig graves and graves. Otherwise, they pollute the earth step by step, and then gradually accumulate a huge army of skeletons and cannon fodder from the dead earth...
Therefore, anyone who goes to war with the Diya Kingdom must not only remember to fight quickly, but also remember to quickly cut and destroy the opponent when facing an enemy that is bound to be much more than one's own.
Otherwise, once the huge army of undead gathers in groups, they will face an avalanche of death...
Like the previous undead squad, there were a lot of [undead], and there were also a lot of [vampires] and [corpse witches]. It was a rare group of elites that the undead party took the initiative to break up.
If such mid-to-high-level undead elites are combined with three or four times more low-level cannon fodder, the destructive power will be terrifying! Even enough to threaten Kalawa Castle without Liu Yifei's help... Taking advantage of the current lack of "guards" on the other side, they will
Its pruning couldn't be more cost-effective, even if you have to pay a little "loss" for it, it is still cost-effective...
But who told Liu Yifei that he currently has too few cards~
Moreover, he came out this time not to destroy the enemy, but simply to gather strength and gain more time.
Dozens of cavalry and griffons were left with moderate injuries and were actually unfit to fight anymore. Liu Yifei ordered them to stay here for the time being, monitoring the movements of the undead party while waiting for the follow-up infantry reinforcements.
And if the enemy tries to advance south again, in addition to allowing the griffins to urgently search for them and report the news, they can also create some smoke and dust to pretend to be an ambush, buying a short time for subsequent strategic adjustments...
Well~~~ Now that we are in such a tight situation, Liu Yifei has really resorted to those bad tricks to bluff people~
And he himself took the remaining mobile troops and turned eastward again...
Although elite mobile troops have stronger combat power and more guaranteed battlefield survival, the biggest problem lies in this: given the same time or wealth, the scale of a carefully built elite regiment must be smaller than that of a large-scale grassroots unit.
Much~
When facing the same number of enemies, it means that each combatant will be under greater pressure... Especially when the battlefield is vast and large-scale transition operations are required, the physical reserves and recovery efficiency of the soldiers are even more considered.
…
After a short but fierce battle, Liu Yifei's men were actually beginning to show signs of fatigue, especially the large consumption of purifying agents, which meant that their combat effectiveness would decline to a certain extent in the future. It was time for them to take a rest.
But who said that this is the only real fighting force in the entire Green Field area?
If Rod Hart hadn't dispatched reinforcements in time, Kalava might have had to face the awkward choice of holding on or running away...
But fortunately, the enemy he will face next is a little "special", which gives Liu Yifei more space to move around——
Liu Yifei led the rangers to advance slowly. They only brought the most basic combat supplies. The rest were sorted out, keeping what should be kept and throwing away what should be thrown away~
The most precious heavy cavalry, together with the griffins and monks, first found a suitable place to take a rest along the way, especially the griffins. After all, these big guys are military training beasts or meat eaters. They cannot really
Treat them as human beings, otherwise you will really get mad, which cannot be suppressed by shouting...
Eating something and taking a short nap can not only comfort them, but also help them recover quickly and prepare for the fierce battle that follows.
The same goes for the heavy cavalry, letting the horses rest, relax, eat some fodder and so on... Even in order to save horse power as much as possible, except for the most basic weapons, the equipment of the heavy cavalry was evenly distributed among the rangers, helping
They should be taken to the front line first.
The condition of the monks should actually be considered the best... After all, "educated people", who have endured hardships and studied in daily life, and once they have mastered the "skill", will have it much easier than the reckless muscle warriors.
They stayed behind firstly to take care of the griffins, and secondly as a core nursing force to temporarily protect the heavy cavalry who had lost their equipment...
If left in the hands of NPC generals, they may only care more about caster units, which are much more expensive. However, in the eyes of players, "pragmatism" is always the core!
It doesn’t matter what your status is or not, when it’s time to use it, angels have to block the goblins’ swords, so who cares about your status?
Of course, you still have to say something nice. After all, it’s life and death in battle, so there’s nothing wrong with protecting the backs of your brothers and sisters, right? Can a cultured person treat someone as a human being?
After arranging these details one by one, Liu Yifei led the light cavalry farther and farther, but finally left the previous fighting area and slowly found his new enemy in the open green land...
The southward marching legion from the legion to which Strong belongs - and what makes Liu Yifei a little worried is that this time he may encounter a pervert led by Strong himself again!
Because he actually seemed to have seen the [Zombie Demon] Guards...
At the beginning of "The Last Life", some people didn't understand the situation yet, thinking that the [Zombie Demon] troop was just a more special and advanced variant of the [Walking Corpse].
But in fact, these guys are all "personal guards" that Strong himself has "cultivated" one by one!
The so-called "personal guards" are almost inseparable from the "general master"...
Therefore, most of the time, seeing the [Corpse Demon] almost means that Strong must also be on the list...
But isn’t this guy guarding his newly opened sub-base in the north?!
Aren't they already trying to open up a new "dark sky"?
If he rushes south now, isn't he afraid of being cut off?
Looking at the [Corpse Demon] troops in front of him, which probably numbered in the thousands, Liu Yifei couldn't help but frown deeply.
"make!"
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Yifei finally turned to the Qingqi beside him and said: "Go and tell Mr. Morris, first keep the young and strong among the refugees migrating outside the city, organize them, distribute tools, and order them to work in Kara
Dig more dense holes half a day's walk north of Wa, and mark the area well, let's go~"
The Qingqiu responded with a salute, then turned around and ran towards Kalava in a hurry.
The matter of "motivating civilians"... can be regarded as a means of self-rescue for the human Elasia camp in times of war crisis.
Things such as assisting in city defense and transporting emergency supplies can be left to the recruited civilian laborers under the protection or custody of the army. This can also reduce the physical exertion of the soldiers.
However, this kind of thing will greatly reduce the morale of civilians and even a considerable number of low-level soldiers. Under normal circumstances, Liu Yifei is definitely not willing to move around easily...
However, he had never thought before that the [Corpse Demon] troops would come out of this area so quickly. If the opponent moved forward any further, they would probably be able to reach Karava, but they couldn't prevent it...
…
However, after sending away the messengers, Liu Yifei divided the hundreds of rangers he brought into ten small teams evenly on the ground at intervals of a hundred meters, and then... actually took a nap on the spot!
[Corpse Demon] Although the guard's southward march indicates that Strong is likely to come as well.
But now Liu Yifei's troops are no longer the "peasants" in the eyes of the opponent a few days ago - [Ranger] has a strong fourth-level strength. Although it is a jack-of-all-trades profession that can do everything and is sparse in everything, at least the basic strength is there.
Level 3 or above!
Even if they can't defeat the [Corpse Demon] one-on-one, the two sides can be considered "opponents" in a large range, and compared to the [Corpse Demon] whose legs and feet are extremely slow, the [Ranger] here is really nothing special.
Shortcoming~
Hundreds versus thousands...
At least it’s not without the power to fight back!
The blatant "interception" on the human side obviously alerted the undead troops on the opposite side who were slowly advancing southward.
I saw that the sizable undead army slowly stopped under the support of the [Corpse Demon]... Seeing this scene, Liu Yifei suddenly felt a lot more relaxed - what he was afraid of was that the opponent would attack him regardless of the situation.
Come on!
At that time, Liu Yifei will have no other good solution besides guerrilla warfare, but this will inevitably reveal the fact that he lacks confidence. If the other party is more assertive and directly resists the harassment of Liu Yifei's troops and continues southward, then it will be his turn to
Liu Yifei is anxious...
Although the stalemate process was a bit boring, and in a sense it was a waste of time for the daily plot, but at the moment, a temporary delay was in line with Liu Yifei's expectations.
It's a pity that even with this short period of tranquility, the undead army on the opposite side doesn't want to leave too much to humans...
Perhaps the "human ambush" on the opposite side had not moved for a long time, and the undead side had gotten a glimpse of the details. After hesitating for a while, hundreds of tall and strong walking corpses actually separated from the undead army and moved toward those sparsely scattered in the surrounding fields.
Dense trees line up.
And Liu Yifei became a little depressed when he saw the other party's actions...
If it's just an ordinary [Walking Corpse]...even a [Zombie Warrior], then it's just a harder sandbag in front of the [Rangers]~
There is no need for long-range riding and shooting. You can easily harvest by drawing out your sword and charging and slashing. Or you can simply dismount and play with the opponent. You can also practice techniques such as close combat...
But the scientific name of those "walking zombies" who are tall and black and wearing heavy iron armor in front of me is [Zombie Demon], okay?!
A real level 4 "meat tank", a monster that dares to collide with the [Ranger] head-on with its physical body to cause damage... This is really difficult to deal with~
And looking at where he was going, Liu Yifei immediately saw the other party's plan——
"The Living Corpse General" Strong himself can be regarded as a relatively upright and reckless man. Even this powerful undead general has an inexplicable "honesty", as if he has been competing with the "Walking Corpse" in this life.
, even its personal guards are gathered together little by little from the advanced mutant [Walking Zombies] trained and cultivated with great difficulty...
It’s just that this general may be honest, but that doesn’t mean he’s really stupid~
In order to make up for the inherent shortcomings of his own troops, Strong not only joined forces with Hiss and often acted as a partner, but also greatly increased long-range firepower in his direct troops.
In addition to the inevitable firepower composition of [Corpse Witch], the other assistance the opponent is looking for is war machinery... Well, it is also commonly known as "military ballistae", or what players call "ballista"~
That’s right, can you believe that the majestic “Living Corpse General” is still a tech geek who loves to play with large and destructive “figures”?
Not only did Strong deliberately seek out many different versions of "Balista" construction technology diagrams, but one of the important military supplies for his direct troops was a large number of regular "parts", such as wheels, axles, and steel wires.
,bolts and so on~
These "bits and pieces" are large in size and heavy in weight, which will naturally cause major inconvenience to long-distance carrying. However, the transportation capabilities of Strong's huge "Walking Corps" are extremely strong! It can be said that a [line]
The corpse's physical carrying capacity is six to seven human soldiers, and eight or nine to our own crunchy little skeletons~
As for whether it will slow down the army's march or something...
Just kidding~
[The Walking Dead] The team has been pushed to the end, where is there any room for retreat?!
With these large amounts of spare parts readily available, Strong can assemble a large number of large war instruments in a short time as long as he can obtain enough wood on the front line!
From commonly used siege catapults to large and small fixed ballistas and even mobile ballistas...it can be said that there is nothing that Strong can't play with!
From this point of view, it can actually be seen that Strong, the seemingly dull and resigned "big zombie", still has some brains - it has not tried hard to think about how to avoid the shortcomings of the slow movement of the zombie army.
The legs, on the other hand, are trying to make the best use of the zombie's overall strength, rough skin and thick flesh. Whether it is choosing combat partners or building its own direct army characteristics, it is moving closer to a "solid" and "hard-fighting" style...
Liu Yifei, who came from a later generation, knew all this very well. When he saw the movements of those [Corpse Demons], he knew that they were trying to open up the wood resource point...
This may be thanks to the bonus of the "advantage round" that I worked so hard to achieve in the early stage!!
If Liu Yifei had not single-handedly pulled out several strongholds established by the Undead Vanguard Army in the northern part of the Green Field early on, the Undead would have easily arranged a base at his doorstep, and might even have sent out troops to harass him.
Collect all kinds of resources on the spot as much as possible to provide convenience for the undead army that will arrive later.
When the undead army, Hiss, and Strong arrive, they will probably burst out with terrifying combat power in a short period of time, and then the rolling army will flood the southern part of the Green Field... Even in "history", in the end the land of Green Field is in Jenny's hands.
"Survived" with the help of others, but the entire wasteland development province can be said to have completely collapsed. The time, manpower, and material resources that Erathia had invested here in the past few years were all wasted...
The key is also given to the undead side an unknown amount of "materials". Who knows how much war dividends Heath and Strong have collected on this land...
At present, Liu Yifei has almost wiped out the undead vanguard army in the early stage, and the opponent's army has been faced with almost no local resources after the start, so that Strong has not yet tinkered with his "big toy". Until he became suspicious.
I may have been targeted by a group of human [cavalry], so I thought of temporarily strengthening my military strength...
Although the [Corpse Demon] team is difficult to chew, Liu Yifei is even less likely to watch the other party collect the much-needed wood, immediately get on his horse, and call for the two hundred [Rangers] who are in the best condition to gather first.
The war horses used by [Rangers] are considered to be at the third-rate level in the military system - needless to say, the best ones must have been selected by serious [Knights] gentlemen. Only those with martial arts and combat skills are all
Only in the hands of powerful warriors who have reached the top of the human kingdom can they live up to the glory of those equally powerful and unparalleled war horses that are also monsters~
Then the second-rate tall horses will be equipped with heavy cavalry, or those with potential who are expected to be promoted to [Knights]... Finally, it is the turn of the snake oil [Ranger], which is the "Light Cavalry" sequence.
Of course, even so, a "war horse" is still a "war horse"!
He is also a big guy who can kill an ordinary farmer with just one kick~
The two hundred war horses slowly accelerated along with the queue, and the aura of calmness and self-power, like a mountain falling apart and the ground breaking apart, gradually rose up in the queue.
These core-level reinforcements all come from Harmondale, and they can be said to be the most bloody and brave people in the human kingdom~
In the past, he had rich experience in fighting against demons and undead, so even when faced with a [Corpse Demon] as tall, strong and armed to the teeth as an iron tower, he was not timid at all, and even a few of them were even more so.
Like a savage, he shouted while running accelerating!
This is the opening battle to end the false appearance of peace in Erathia, and it is also the last gap before the "darkest" comes, when the human kingdom can still sing about prosperity and prosperity... but it is as short as a white horse passing by...
