The newly arrived centaur vanguard, rangers, heavy cavalry squadrons, griffins, and a small number of monk troops that would accompany them into the air were all mobilized urgently because of Liu Yifei's temporary order.
Although the Karawa garrison must also enter the first level alert state at the same time, as the expedition is imminent, everyone still gives priority to making way for the attacking troops, including armed rations, accompanying ration supplements, etc.
While the whole castle was in chaos, bad news also came from Timiusius' end - what Liu Yifei just said was serious. Although the other two elves didn't really buy it, after all, the elder Druid returned to the room.
He still tried to contact his apprentice named Ambori remotely...
However, the result was no news!!
Druids usually use monsoon and animal companions for long-distance communication. The monsoon communication method is also called "wind communication". It is characterized by certain seasonal effects, but the communication distance is very exaggerated, and it can complete "mass communication".
"operate.
As for animal companions, it’s just as simple as sending out your own “little messenger” to find the correct communication target...
However, the contact was fine a few days ago, but now there is nothing going on in both aspects!
There was no response for a while after the "Wind Communication Technique" was sent out. Not only did Ambry not reply to Timius, but even any druid did not respond.
And the animal messengers temporarily recruited by the Great Elder directly responded and resisted approaching the target area, which was the direction of Cliffite Castle... This almost made it clear that the elven reinforcements were probably falling into the trap of the undead!!
The news was reported to Liu Yifei immediately. Liu Yifei was secretly annoyed. He felt that he had got carried away and made some low-level mistakes. He failed to grasp the clear trends of his own divisions at the first time and inadvertently exposed his own weaknesses. But he clearly
On the contrary, his face seemed relatively calm, and he immediately ordered the elf who came to report:
"Okay, I understand... Go and inform the Great Elder. I'll set off as soon as I'm ready. The Great Elder's giant eagle transformation is suitable for long-distance flights. You can take the first step. Jenny and her Griffin troops will follow.
Later...
But the Great Elder must pay attention to something!
If the opponent has already started to act, he or she may have figured out the general situation on our side. At this time, we must be careful of the opponent taking advantage of the first attack to set up a series of traps for us!
If the situation in Cliffite Castle was not very critical at that time... the Great Elder had better not be exposed in a hurry, at least wait until Jenny and the others have a stable support force, and then form a pincer attack on the enemy!
Also, if the opponent has just launched an offensive against Cliffite Castle when the Great Elder arrives... the Great Elder must first confirm whether there is a dragon resting place near the castle! If possible... prioritize destroying the tomb and crushing the dragon bones!
We must not give the enemy a chance to summon the bone dragon..."
Looking at the back of the elf who hurriedly followed the order, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh in his heart~
After all, the situation has been favorable recently, and reinforcements from all aspects have been arriving in droves, which made Liu Yifei a little concerned about one thing and not the other for a while, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it!
Since Timiusius had already revealed his true identity in front of Strong and Hiss before...
Even Liu Yifei knew about the iconic "earth dragon form". How could two undead souls who were both immortal species and had lived for hundreds or thousands of years not know about it at all?
With such a big boss suddenly popping up from the Elf side, anyone with an online IQ should realize that their opponent is coming for reinforcements, and their next actions will definitely be more cautious and targeted!
It just so happened that Liu Yifei was overjoyed by several reinforcements in the past few days, and he had to concentrate on the continuous successes achieved by the player team on the "front line"...
I'm afraid! From the very beginning, the undead side has deliberately shrunk the front line and deliberately created a posture of shrinking their defenses. In fact, they have used other means to secretly find out the direction of the elves' origin!
Compared to Carava, the abandoned Cliffite Castle is probably closer to Harmondale, and should have been outside the old reconnaissance range of the undead.
It turned out to be a good thing. Let’s track the reinforcements from the elves, and they also dug up an elven “historic site”!!
For players or humans, the most amazing thing when encountering ancient monuments is to explore them and find some valuable or worthless rags~
But what about the undead?
What these ancestors want to do is dig their graves!!
Although they can also select objects and so on, the real key is the remains of those corpses that have been sleeping in ancient times!
Especially the remains of elves, elf casters, trees, unicorns, and dragons. It can be said that any of them can be played in the hands of the necromancer~~
The corpses of the elves are particularly easy to summon mutant skeleton units like [Skeleton Mage], and powerful fresh corpses can even summon elite units of the undead like [Vampires] and [Corpse Witches]!
[Treant] can be twisted into [Tree Demon], [Unicorn] can become [Undead War Rider], [Green Dragon] and [Golden Dragon] can directly transform into [Bone Dragon]...
Perhaps the undead originally tracked the movement of the elven reinforcements and thought about the possibility of a sneak attack. However, once those monsters smelled the smell of the corpse tomb, Liu Yifei was almost certain that these guys would not be able to sit still!
after all……
Isn't it because the undead mobilized their troops to attack the elves this time because they have taken a fancy to the things in other people's ancestral graves?
At the moment, Liu Yifei is afraid that Hiss and his ilk have laid a series of traps for his side and are just waiting for them to come to his door~
After all, if it were up to him to arrange it... it would not be too simple to surround the area to provide reinforcements, to attack in the east and in the west.
In fact, if Liu Yifei had enough troops at this time, he should not only send some mobile troops to rescue Cliffite, but also directly press the army to the north, forcing the undead to give up those small tricks and attack head-on!
After all, in terms of high-end combat power, Liu Yifei's side has a small advantage for the time being, but if he is forced to divide his troops due to the opponent's strategy, the situation may become dangerous...
However, the frontal force in hand is still insufficient. In addition to the elite mobile troops, the elf reinforcements that Liu Yifei originally relied on as the main frontal force have encountered trouble. This time, it feels like a blow to Liu Yifei's seven inches...
At the same time, Liu Yifei was a little worried that after he divided his troops for rescue, the undead might come to steal his hometown...
After all, the undead have the ability to bypass the surveillance of player scouts and secretly attack the elven reinforcements. It may not be impossible to launch an offensive on Karava. As a last resort, Liu Yifei can only choose to leave Cuthbert behind, telling him to fight with Mo
Riggs worked together to organize the rear city defense. The key was to detect the movements around the castle in a timely manner and not give the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it...
There was a lot of chaos, and although there were still a thousand or ten thousand worries in his heart, Liu Yifei had to set off with the ground cavalry troops. Before leaving, he took one last look back at Kalawa... At least in "history"
Although Kalawa has experienced several wars at this stage, it has never been occupied by the enemy in the end. I just hope that I can hold on to this point this time...
Horses galloping, soldiers solemn~
Standing at the top of the outer city wall of Karava, watching Geralt lead a group of mobile troops to leave, Cuthbert also sighed several times.
I never thought that the "little friend" I met in the capital of Standwick not long ago would actually look like a general in the blink of an eye... He is really a formidable young man~~
Although Cuthbert's appearance has become extremely old and wrinkled due to his original "accident" and his subsequent long-term study of black magic, one thing is that Cuthbert himself is nearly forty this year.
Not too young anymore.
One is that Cuthbert established his "life goal" early because of those experiences, and the other is that the ostracism he received in the royal mage group later made Cuthbert's character become introverted, calm, and tough...
…But he’s somewhat lonely~
Even he himself didn't expect that what seemed like an ordinary mission to "exterminate cultists" would actually lead to him unexpectedly meeting a friend whom he had never forgotten.
emmmmm... How should I put it... In addition to Geralt's seemingly proficient communication skills, he was also affected by the "unconventional" free and easy personality revealed in his words, right?
Anyway, in Cuthbert's narrow social circle, there really is no such enlightened person who "does whatever it takes" and "regardless of the power of right or wrong" - most people who know Cuthbert, when they hear that he is constantly researching
After using black magic, regardless of his purpose or the means he used, he just resisted it first. Comparing the two, Geralt, a young man, does seem quite special...
In the end, it’s the opponent’s strength!
This is actually true everywhere in the entire continent~
If you don’t have the strength that is truly worthy of others taking a high look, then there is something wrong with it. Some people, after all, lack the confidence to make contact~~
Geralt was young, yet he was able to lead a secret military operation in the royal capital on the "king's order". His command was all timid, and he was even known as a "genius" in the royal capital... He was actually able to talk to him in this way.
Zhen Huan, how could Cuthbert not value it?
It's just that the "valuation" at that time was a bit like a senior's support for the younger generation.
But he didn't want to see that less than half a year after they were separated, the other party actually gathered a huge storm in the northern border of the kingdom, and became the most popular person in the world!
You can also submit an application to the royal capital by name to temporarily transfer yourself to the teleportation array to support the northern border...
When he first heard the news, Cuthbert was completely confused, and even subconsciously resisted - after all, he just wanted to immerse himself in studying the magic knowledge that he focused on, whether it was the riots on the border or not.
Regardless of the invasion, Cuthbert's concern is actually limited... Don't think that Cuthbert is cruel and doesn't care about the kingdom, the spell caster, and the study of magic. This is generally the virtue~
If you don't even have this "concentration", then the path of a spell caster is doomed to fail...
However, after hearing the oral message sent back by Geralt, Cuthbert's mind suddenly changed:
To the north of the kingdom, darkness is pressing down! Thousands of refugees are entangled in illness and suffering, and countless conspiracies and disasters are grinding their teeth and sucking blood... The times are difficult. I read the dark magic and the way to solve it hard, but behind closed doors, I am afraid of losing the slightest bit.
, now there is a small space for you to fully display what you have learned in your life, and I am willing to devote all my efforts to encourage you...
At that moment, Cuthbert's heart seemed to be touched by something hot. Finally, after a slight hesitation, he packed up his luggage and came to the land of green fields with a horse of monks from the royal capital sent out.
In the first few days after arriving, Geralt, as he said, briefly introduced Cuthbert to the current situation, and then sent Cuthbert to concurrently serve as the local "Medical Commander-in-Chief" to provide services to those who had fought in the previous battles.
Treating the wounded soldiers who were rescued——
Fighting against demons, dungeon monsters, and dark monsters such as the undead, the physical trauma on the body can certainly vary in severity, but some injuries are caused by evil dark spells, which makes it difficult to use ordinary treatment methods.
effect.
Geralt asked Cuthbert to be the "Medical Commander", and he actually made good use of his idea!
Cuthbert's most intensive research is a series of dark spells that can cause weakness in the human body. The usual manifestation of such spells is to destroy the human body mechanism, ranging from weakness of hands and feet, unable to fight, to partial body failure, or even
He died on the spot inexplicably holding his breath~
For those wounded soldiers who have fought with the undead, many have suffered from the intrusion of the power of the undead into their internal organs, causing their bodies to be weak and weak. This is suitable for Cuthbert to combine what he has learned and obtain clinical verification.
At the same time, it can also relieve the pain of those wounded soldiers...
What Cuthbert didn't expect was that besides him, while he was trying to rescue patients according to the different conditions of each wounded soldier, there was a woman named Jenny who was said to be from the distant continent of Enroth.
The former witch general also came forward and expressed his strong curiosity about his unique treatment methods...
The so-called "rescue method" is actually Cuthbert's attempt to use his finely controlled dark spells to induce the dark power hidden in the wounded body, and then guide it to flow outside the body~
Although Cuthbert was indeed treating illnesses and saving people... he couldn't stand the fact that he was using dark magic.
Those war zone monks from Harmondale were okay, but the "colleagues" from the royal capital area like Cuthbert sneered at Cuthbert's methods. They didn't say anything openly, but they almost
By not communicating with Cuthbert, it seemed that he was directly ignoring the other party, intentionally or unintentionally, in order to express that he "did not agree with him".
Cuthbert didn't expect that Jenny would show no concern for his obvious "dark spell user"~ Instead... instead, she would praise him for his unique ideas and brilliant treatment methods...
After getting to know Jenny, Cuthbert became truly happy. He was glad that he had come right this time, otherwise, he would have missed a "new friend" unintentionally~
However, just a few days after the "good days", the war broke out again!
Both Geralt and Jenny have their own missions to lead the attack. Cuthbert is given the task in danger, and he also has to help defend Kalawa Castle...
Before this, Cuthbert actually had no experience in garrisoning a castle... let alone becoming a city defense general. In fact, he was extremely lacking in experience as a leader. More often than not, before
Cuthbert is just the person who obeys orders... and most of the time, he is even a person who is thrown away after being used by others and even has a few words of disdain...
But this time he was invited by his "friend" to help in the battle. He had been having a good time these days. This time his friend entrusted him with an important task. Even though he was a little panicked, he still decided to do his best.
Defend the rear base camp for Geralt and Jenny!
If you ask Cuthbert to think about how to better protect a city, it will be difficult for him to do it, but if you obey orders and follow the steps, as long as you work carefully, at least you won't make any big mistakes~
So he and Morris simply divided the labor and cooperated. Morris knew better about the situation of local grassroots soldiers and various material reserves, so he asked him to organize large-scale city defense garrison, while Cuthbert took the lead in reconnaissance.
The liaison mission of the soldiers ensures that the small reconnaissance force composed of ground rangers and aerial griffons will have a firm grasp of the situation within twenty or thirty miles around Kalava!
Cuthbert simply used the method of his magic research in organizing the information. He divided everything into several related categories and sorted it out in chronological order, sorting out all the big and small situations carefully.
Although it is inevitably complicated, it is clear at a glance and nothing is missed~
Therefore, when two griffons in one direction were suddenly "late" and did not return in time to ensure the situation, Cuthbert picked them out immediately and asked the assistant fighting monk: "
The movements of these two are slow... Send three more rangers over to confirm the situation. Remember to move forward with vigilance, the first two and the second. If anything happens, you must withdraw and report as soon as possible..."
It was this carefulness and caution that finally allowed Cuthbert to notice the change in the situation immediately and prevent the enemy's conspiracy from succeeding. It turned out that just after a large number of elite mobile troops left the city of Karava, the
To the northwest, an elite undead squad suddenly appeared!!
