"We should be grateful to the Pioneer Army for their failure. They brought us important intelligence."
"Without them, we probably wouldn't have known about the changes in the undead. The enemies that have appeared are not scary, but the enemies hiding in the dark are scary."
Palmeda glanced at the surrounding clan leaders and generals, and spoke slowly. The vanguard army failed and lost many people, but in his opinion, everything was worth it. It was better than starting a war and being caught off guard by the undead.
What is a vanguard army? Palmida's understanding is to attack to attract the first wave of firepower and at the same time detect the enemy's intelligence. Momone can bring back the latest intelligence about the undead. This is enough. He has completed his mission.
There is no need to criticize him harshly.
Is it possible that people like them expect a vanguard army to win the battle?
If the undead were so easy to deal with, they wouldn't need to organize any coalition forces. They could just send a few tribes and wipe them out with a wave of their hands.
Palmeda has been sorting out information about the undead since he came to the coalition, but the information collected in his hands always made him feel that something was wrong, and he had an uneasy feeling in his heart. This uneasiness came from the weakness of the undead!
Judging from the intelligence, when they organized the coalition, there were only a few thousand undead, and only a few thousand undead could harass the three races into forming a coalition. However, in fact, not many people paid attention to the coalition at that time.
But as time goes by, more and more intelligence comes out, and the number of undead is also increasing exponentially. The turning point is when the undead arrive at the Dead Souls Mountains and wipe out the first vanguard army of the coalition. The undead seem to have taken a big tonic.
Pill, it expanded rapidly.
Palmeda speculated that there should be something in the Mountains of the Dead that promoted the development of the undead, but their spies could not enter it, or the spies did not dare to enter the Mountains of the Dead, so they could not know what happened inside.
According to the intelligence of the coalition forces, the undead are mainly composed of skeletons. Apart from the skeletons, there are only a very small number of other arms.
This is obviously wrong. Palmeda has the deepest doubts about this information. The undead are a legendary race that can sweep across the continent and cause disasters. He does not believe that they can sweep across the continent with a bunch of humanoid skeletons.
Do you really think that other races on the continent are worthless?
How stupid a person must be to have such an idea.
When a person lives for a long time, he will know many things that others do not know. Palmeda has lived for more than 300 years. He knows more about various secrets than other people in this land. He knows his own secrets very well.
Weak, even how weak the land we are on is.
The wasteland is vast, and they only live in a corner. Even so, they don't have enough strength to conquer this corner, so what about other places.
Just say that in the central area of the wasteland, the races there are more powerful than the other, and the forces there are more ferocious than the other. They are completely different concepts from the land where he is located.
In contrast, most of the time, in the eyes of people in the central area, the battles on their side are fought by tens of thousands of people, hehe, they are just fighting.
Palmeda once traveled to the central area and saw what it looked like and the battlefield there. When hundreds of thousands of troops went to the battlefield, it was still a small scene. Once a fight broke out, it would be all kinds of things.
Magic is flying around, and human life is worthless.
The central zone is far richer than here, and in order to keep living in the rich land, the races in the central zone are developing desperately. They join forces and think of ways to strengthen themselves. If they relax a little, they will
The fate of the dead.
Before Palmeda went to the central zone, she had the same idea as others, thinking that the people in the central zone lived in peace and prosperity. However, in fact, their competition was far beyond imagination. In comparison,
, they live a lazy and peaceful life.
It was precisely because he had been to the central area that when he returned here, he calmed down consciously and was no longer as crazy as before.
It's not because he has no ambition, but on the contrary, he has greater ambitions. He wants to go to the central area and compete with the big races in the central area. Palmeda, the legendary patriarch, will never give in.
To mediocrity!
But if he wants to march into the central area, he needs to be strong enough. He needs to develop his tribe and make his tribe stronger, instead of just consuming population and combat power like before, so he fell silent.
Tolerance is for greater glory.
This time he came out because he saw the potential of the coalition. If everyone can unite together and form an adult body to destroy the undead, then can everyone also unite together to form a more powerful force to attack the central area?
If he can lead the coalition forces to wipe out the undead, the benefits will be great. Not only will his reputation reach its peak, but he will also be able to firmly control a large army. This is the trump card for attacking the central area.
In addition to his ambition to live in the central zone, Palmeda also hopes to use the advantages of the central zone to find ways to make himself stronger and live longer.
The clan leaders and generals in the conference room had different thoughts after listening to Palmeda's words, but on the surface they all seemed very serious and nodded repeatedly.
"Everyone, the undead have become more powerful than before. We cannot slack off at all and must eliminate them as soon as possible!" Palmeda made the final conclusion.
Basically everyone has a unified idea on how to fight the undead.
You must fight the undead during the day. The undead during the day are much weaker than the undead at night. However, during the day, it has no impact on the coalition soldiers. This is their advantage.
While the Cancer Alliance was studying why the Pioneer Army was defeated, Li Ziyu was also studying how to deal with the incoming coalition.
There was almost no need to guess. Li Ziyu also knew that the opponent would definitely launch an attack during the day, and in order to prevent him from making another sneak attack, the coalition forces would set up camp relatively far away, wait overnight, repair, and attack again the next day.
Liu Xingxing made a sand table and placed it in the center of the main hall of the Fortress of the Dead. Li Ziyu, Zhang Peng and Liu Xingxing were milling around the sand table, thinking about how to deal with each other.
"I feel that the other party should be stationed 10 kilometers away, so it is within this range." Zhang Peng stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the sand table.
"Is there a passage that can lead there?" Li Ziyu asked, looking at the sand table. The area Zhang Peng drew was a flat terrain with few hills around it.
"Yes, but the position is a little off. What are you going to do?" Zhang Peng thought for a moment, raised his head and asked.
His gopher fortress can travel underground, but the number of troops it can transport is limited. The number that can support the sky is 3,500. It cannot be equipped with troops such as the elite Hammer Skeleton Warriors, which rely on thousands of people to raid the opponent.
A camp with hundreds of thousands of people is obviously not a good choice.
Let’s not talk about whether there is no return, the effect will be very poor.
As for the 10-kilometer range, even if you imagine sending skeletal beasts like the vanguard army, it is unrealistic. This time, it is not the vanguard army, but the main force. The surrounding security is many times stronger than that of the vanguard army. It is estimated that
The skeletal beast had already been discovered by the other party before it arrived.
"It doesn't matter, it's better to be a little biased. Just escort me there." Li Ziyu raised an eyebrow and said.
"Okay, no problem." Seeing that Li Ziyu was mysterious and unwilling to say anything, Zhang Peng had no intention of asking. Anyway, whatever Li Ziyu said, he would do whatever he said.
After walking around the map a few more times, the three of them studied several alternatives, but they were not professional. The three of them were all laymen, let alone strategy and tactics, except for Li Ziyu who preferred to play real-time strategy games.
, the other two don’t even play real-time strategy games, so the things they can think of are naturally limited.
Fortunately, they had been staying in the Dead Souls Mountains for a long time. Liu Xingxing and Zhang Peng often went out for walks. They were familiar with the terrain and landforms nearby. They really hit the mark when the other party stopped 10 miles away.
After coming down and setting up camp, the information was quickly delivered to Li Ziyu.
The coalition forces arrived in the afternoon and were busy all afternoon. The large camps were continuous. This time, they seemed much more standardized, and the tents were arranged relatively neatly. The tents of the headhunters and lizardmen were in the middle of the large camp, while those on the outside were scattered.
The goblins are used as a defensive shock to prevent the undead from attacking.
As Li Ziyu expected, a large number of sentinels were sent out, and some even reached the Undead Fortress. However, the neatly arranged phalanx of skeleton undead legions in front of the fortress prevented them from moving forward.
In the direction of the Cancer Alliance, Li Ziyu deployed five troops of the Skeleton Undead Army, arranged in square formations of ten thousand people, neatly. Although the combat effectiveness was a bit lacking, the large number and neat rows were quite intimidating.
.
The coalition forces set up camp and buried pots for cooking. They are not undead. They have traveled such a long way to come here. It is impossible to directly attack the undead without taking a good rest. They are living creatures, and they will be tired and hungry. The fastest
That is to say, the attack will not be launched until tomorrow.
Palmeda held a meeting with the coalition generals and clan leaders, telling them to be extremely vigilant tonight so that the vanguard army would not be raided again.
In fact, there is no need for Palmida to remind the generals and clan leaders that night protection must be done well. Who doesn't know that the undead are nocturnal creatures and are far more active at night than during the day.
Time passed little by little, night fell, the stars twinkled in the sky, and the bright moonlight shone on the wasteland.
In the alliance camp, people were shouting and neighing, and it was bustling. On the side of the undead, it was silent and scary. If it weren't for the sparkling soul fire of those stars, no one would have thought that it was the territory of the undead.
There was action tonight. Li Ziyu spent the first half of the night peacefully in the fortress. He didn't get up until the early morning.
"Let's go, it's time to set off."
"Boss, are you sure that only 100 Hammer warriors are enough?"
Before setting off, Zhang Peng still couldn't hold back. When Li Ziyu told him that he would only bring 100 elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors, Zhang Peng objected. This was not a sneak attack on the opponent's camp, but a suicide attempt!
No matter how strong the 100 elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors are, what can they do? That is a camp for more than 300,000 troops. Let alone 100 Heavy Hammer Warriors, even if you are 100 giant dragons, go attack more than 300,000 troops.
Even in a human camp, people can find ways to kill them.
"It's okay, don't worry, just listen to me." Li Ziyu grinned, confident.
He has no intention of rushing to the opponent's camp. He just wants to impress the opponent. Those guys from the coalition forces are still living creatures. Since they are living creatures, they need to rest, sleep, and recharge their batteries. As long as they don't let you
Resting means reducing the opponent's combat effectiveness in disguised form.
In ancient times, night raids were too common tactics. Were night raids at that time really for the purpose of victory? In fact, most of the time they were not. They were to cause commotion, prevent the opponent from resting, and reduce the opponent's combat effectiveness.
That's what Li Ziyu wanted to do. The opponent didn't have enough rest. If he attacked forcefully tomorrow, he would lose less undead and delay the attack longer.
The undead will become weak during the day, and the coalition forces will definitely attack when the undead are weak. If Li Ziyu wants to win, he must use drag tactics to hold the opponent back, and find ways to extend the fighting time until the sun sets.
When darkness comes, he can fight back.
As for the decisive battle with the opponent tonight, it is at night anyway, the opponent has just arrived and is in a tired state, so the chance of winning is very high.
It sounds very attractive, but if you think about it deeply, you will realize that it is not realistic.
The coalition forces are not stupid. They deliberately opened a distance of ten kilometers. The undead under Li Ziyu are mainly fighting with skeletal undead. Although other units are strong, they are not in sufficient numbers and can only serve as secondary output or auxiliary positions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! With the foot power of the skeletal undead, they are dispatched on a large scale. When they get to the place, everything is ready, and they can even lay a large number of traps waiting for the undead to come over.
They were not there for a decisive battle, but to deliver food.
Especially the coalition forces that came this time are elites from all races, with all types of arms, including long-range, melee, cavalry, magic, and priests. They are very comprehensive and not as simple as the previous battles.
Li Ziyu thought about it for a long time before he realized that if he wanted to win, he had to drag it down, completely drag down the opponent's momentum, and make the soldiers tired. Only then could he win the final victory.
Zhang Peng saw that Li Ziyu had made up his mind and could not be persuaded, so he reluctantly accepted it and let Li Ziyu and 100 elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors enter the Gopher Man Fortress.
The internal space of the Gopher Man Fortress is relatively small, and the elite Hammer Skeleton Warriors are too big. If you want to transport them, you have to bend down and lie down on the ground.
After Li Ziyu also entered the fortress, Zhang Peng activated the fortress and rushed along the underground passage to the expected location.
In order to contact the surrounding tribes, Zhang Peng was never idle. He had already dug underground tunnels extending in all directions. The tunnels leading to the coalition camp had also been dug long ago, and the speed was very fast.
"Boss, we're here." Zhang Peng came to Li Ziyu and said to him.
"Well, okay, you wait for me here and I'll be back as soon as possible." Li Ziyu patted Zhang Peng and said.
Zhang Peng plays a very important role in this operation. If something goes wrong on his side, Li Ziyu will be in trouble.
Zhang Peng nodded after hearing this.
10 elite heavy hammer skeleton warriors have already left the Gopher Man Fortress and went to explore the exit. According to Li Ziyu's request, the exit is very hidden. It is behind a big stone. At night, the exit is covered by the shadow of the stone.
, you can’t find it if you don’t look carefully.
The opening of the cave was not large, and could only accommodate two people at most. When Zhang Peng got the news, he was very puzzled. With such a large opening, the elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warrior could not get out at all. He also couldn't figure out what Li Ziyu was.
What to do.
After confirming the exit, Li Ziyu put all the elite Heavy Hammer Skeleton Warriors on alert, and walked towards the entrance of the cave, climbing up the sloping slope.
After exploring and observing at the entrance of the passage for a while, and confirming that there were no coalition scouts around, Li Ziyu carefully got out, stuck to the stone, hid it with the help of the shadow of the stone, and looked out. From his position, he could see
When you see the fire in the distance, there is the coalition camp.
