Under the blazing white magic searchlight, the darkness was completely dispelled, but the scene presented in front of everyone shocked everyone. There is indeed an extremely large number of troops under the city, but they are all wearing the armor of the Rose Kingdom army, including the bright red rose flag.

"The royal guard! They are the royal guard!" The soldiers on the tower quickly recognized the identities of these people.

Liang Taibai said with a livid face: "The Royal Guard is the last defense force of Rose King Capital. I told you earlier that they were the ones sent out to intercept them. I didn't expect them to join the rebels so easily! Damn, what happened a few years ago? Many of the equipment and weapons of this army are bought from us!"

Rose Principality itself is small and weak, so weapons and equipment mostly rely on imports from Dawn Academy, which is also an important commercial channel for Dawn Academy, but if these equipment become the enemy's, it will be a bit bad.

Xiao Lin was silent, and when the searchlight was about to move further to check for the exact number of enemy troops, he suddenly stopped and shouted: "Wait!"

Xiao Lin closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something, Liang Taibai also seemed to see something, but he was not sure, so he waited by the side, but his face also looked very serious.

A few minutes later, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, and said in a low voice with some disbelief: "What a strong breath of death!"

"Is that really the case?" Liang Taibai's face became even more ugly. Only those who have learned necromancy meditation are more sensitive to the breath of death, so he was just suspicious at first, but he was not very sure, but he didn't go into details. Ask Xiao Lin how he learned the undead meditation.

The breath of death can be found anywhere, but it is abnormal in a place so strong. Either countless bones have been buried in the ground below the city, or this breath of death can only come from the army in front of us.

"Undead Army!" Liang Taibai gritted his teeth and said the guess in his heart, but his voice was extremely low, and the other Qiangwei soldiers could not hear him.

...

The siege battle finally kicked off in the next few minutes, but what reassures everyone is that this army does not have the slightest siege machinery, and as the capital of a country, the city defense construction of the king's capital is still very solid. The tall city walls, deep and staggered shooting ports perfectly protect long-range attackers, special spell amplifiers, and the coverage of various defensive tower firepower.

Although the remaining city defense troops are all older, their attributes such as strength and speed will gradually decline with age, and they have lost the ability to charge and attack. However, if it is only this kind of city defense, the requirements for physical strength and strength are limited. The experience brought by their age advantage played a role.

The sound of the battle this night has never stopped. The roar of arrows and the explosion of magic have beaten the army below the city without enough siege equipment very badly. It's a pity that because the defensive manpower is really limited, it is difficult to form a large enough fire coverage, so the battle will be delayed longer, but the defense tower with full energy, especially the spell defense tower, is too lethal to these low-level undead. big.

Every time a flaming energy ball is thrown in the densely packed crowd, at least dozens of people will be blown away on the spot, but the headache is that the undead, who have no pain or fear, will die unless they are completely killed. Even if they lack arms and legs, they will continue to move forward, even if they are crawling on their stomachs.

As the first ray of sunlight gradually rose from the horizon at dawn, the undead army that was desperately attacking seemed to have received a new order, and suddenly receded like a tide. Outside the magical flames and countless piles of corpses.

There were cheers and shouts from the top of the city, and every participating soldier hugged each other to celebrate the victory,

Because the opponent lacked siege equipment and sufficient long-range weapons, the battle this night caused minimal casualties to the defenders.

Xiao Lin and Liang Taibai watched from the tower not far away for a whole night. Although Xiao Lin really wanted to go to help, Liang Taibai forbade him. This experienced ambassador could also see that relying on the city to defend the enemy was very difficult. It's hard to get in, at least not this night.

"Go back, you are tired too!" Liang Taibai didn't say anything else.

On the way back to the embassy, ​​Xiao Lin saw many Qiangwei soldiers posting notices everywhere, announcing the great victory last night, because earlier, news of the siege had spread like wildfire, and within a short period of time It spread to the whole city, and then it was natural for the whole city to panic.

"It seems that the king is still very courageous." Xiao Lin couldn't help but praise, just after the battle of defending the city, the king sent a large number of soldiers to appease the work, so on the way back, although they could see Disturbing the crowd, but only in the form of individuals, large-scale riots have not yet occurred.

The most taboo of defending the city is undoubtedly internal riots, which are more terrifying than the enemy. If the rioting crowd loses their minds and wants to open the city gate to escape, then the city is likely to collapse without attack.

"It would be great if it can be maintained to this extent after a week!" Liang Taibai said.

Xiao Lin sighed softly. He understood that last night's victory was only short-lived. The low-level undead were still somewhat sensitive to sunlight, at least their combat effectiveness was not as good as at night, so their victory was only obtained by the enemy's strategic retreat.

If it was not the undead who attacked the city, but the real rebels, they would actually have a greater hope of staying, relying on the city defense to hold on, as long as the troops from the royal capital returned to help, then they would attack back and forth. The fighting spirit of the army is very low, and it is likely to collapse at a touch of time.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in the world, even Xiao Lin who has not taken any strategic command courses can see clearly, it will be very difficult to defend this city, because the Principality of Qiangwei no longer has any reinforcements.

After returning to the embassy, ​​Xiao Lin fell asleep in a daze, and woke up three hours later, and found that Liang Taibai hadn’t slept at all, but was discussing matters with several other people in the embassy. , he smiled and waved, and then a group of people entered the office.

During this period of time, Xiao Lin and the others gradually became familiar with the help of the embassy. After saying hello, they sat down unceremoniously, and then waited quietly, waiting for the decision they made. ) Book friends, pay attention!
