Lord of War

v4 Chapter 46 - . Attack of the Undead Army

   “Your method has failed again.” The powerful but completely unknown skeleton spoke coldly again.

  This time with the fallen, disguised as a vanguard cannon fodder, the tens of thousands of skeleton mages who helped in the battle are all under this skeleton, so only he can control these skeleton mages. Therefore, he stepped forward before and gave all the skeleton mage a formation combat command: summon skeleton soldiers to make the way at all costs, and cast all the magic power to gather acid rain to siege the city.

Although   skeleton mages are mages, they can be formed into a group of mages after they are formed, but they are only third-order undeads. Not only are there only a few undead spells that can be used, but their own magical powers are also limited.

  Summon skeleton soldiers. Although the magic power to be consumed is not very large, a skeleton mage can easily summon four or five times. But just four or five summons, what good is it for building a bone staircase that can pass through the 30-meter-high fortress wall? So at least there must be a 20,000 skeleton mage focused on this, not to waste, but must build the bone ladder successfully.

  This is the core goal of this vanguard force.

But the defenders on the fortress will definitely not let the undead army build them. Through the previous offensive and defensive operations, whether it is Edroso or this powerful skeleton, it can be seen that the bone ladder will definitely be able to build successfully in the end. , But the time they need to consume is certainly not short, and the loss will be huge. This is not what they want to see. What’s more, they don’t know what the plans of the Void Principality are going to be. In order to avoid night long dreams, it is natural to shorten the time as much as possible.

   Therefore, when playing, Edroso prepared two tactics.

  The first one is to constantly summon skeleton soldiers, which puts tremendous pressure on the enemy and dampens their morale and confidence. Force the opponent out of the city to fight.

  Unfortunately, this tactic was seen through by William, so Alfred’s invitation to the battle was naturally not approved, but a few words from William stabilized the military.

  The first tactic failed, so naturally the second tactic can only be used.

  The skeleton next to Edroso ordered the Skeleton Mage Corps to make an all-out effort. Recklessly summoned all skeleton soldiers. Then quickly build the bone ladder, and at the same time let another part of the skeleton mage who mastered the acid rain magic form a large magic circle, and the magic power is formed into a magic chain to share with each other, and the strong acid rain that can cover the entire fortress is displayed. The purpose is also very simple, that is, the opponent can only watch the construction of the bone ladder but is unable to stop it, and the cast range of the acid rain cloud is limited to the fortress, and will not spread outside the fortress.

  Although the tactics are different. But the goal was the same: to force the defenders out of the city.

pity. The result still failed.

   William still has no plans to let the Legion go out of the city to fight.

“Even if there is no way to force them out of the city, it can still damage their morale, and even cause a certain degree of damage and weakening to the defenders in the fortress.” Edroso said in a cold voice, ” Besides, when your strong acid rain magic is over, the bone ladder will naturally be completed. At that time, I have also smashed the city wall to fight the enemy…. Anyway. We are all on the victorious side.”

   “It’s best.” Skeleton replied coldly, “It’s too late to suppress the heavy rain. I ordered slow rain. After about 20 minutes, the bone ladder is completed and you can start preparing.”

  As the skeleton said, the dark clouds in the sky are not rainstorms, and the rain curtain is not big, but it is more continuous and continuous, which is in line with the rainy season of the southern continent. However, this kind of continuous drizzle has always been the most annoying to the people of the southern continent, because this kind of weather will increase the humidity of the air, and there will be a lot of cloudy and rainy days, the clothes are difficult to dry, and there is a lot of mold. taste.

  At this moment, the steel wings and others in the fortress are very angry.

  Although the rain is not strong, the damage to the impact shield is not obvious and serious, but it will undoubtedly delay this almost tortured time, and the morale will be consumed and blown more severely than the next torrential rain.

However, the armies of the Void Principality are strange freaks, such as Iron Wings, Thunder Lions, Cecilia Guards, etc. It is very difficult for them to lower their morale, and even the Serb commanded by Clover Celia’s Guards would never be defeated even if there were only a few hundred men left in the end of a war.

  This kind of elite army almost only exists in those empires and super-class kingdoms, but the Void Principality has it.

   But no matter how you say it, the appearance of the wizard group is indeed a very terrifying strategic weapon. As long as they appear on the battlefield, they can often directly reverse the situation of a war, but not everyone can afford to raise a wizard group-the so-called wizard group, at least there must be hundreds of official magicians. OK, and then connect the powers of all magicians through a special magic chain to be able to display powerful battlefield-level or even strategic-level magic.

   Therefore, the battlefields where wizards generally appear must be first-rate kingdom battles.

In the battlefield between the Principality of Llane and the Kingdom of Darbion, there was no intervention and participation of the wizards in any of the three battlefields. Although there were magicians on the local battlefields to join the war, they could not form a scale that could directly reverse the situation of the battlefield. .

  The background of the Void Principality is still insufficient after all, even if it has a level comparable to a super-class kingdom or even an empire in all aspects, the wizard group still does not have it. Even though Sean came up with the priest battle group instead, but the priest battle group can only carry out some magical auxiliary blessings to make the war regiment stronger, facing the powerful war magic formed by the real wizard regiment. Attacks cannot produce enough anti-magical damage.

  The construction of the White Bone Stairs has been getting faster and faster. In a blink of an eye, it has climbed from a height of 17 meters to 24 meters, and another 6 meters can be equal to the height of the entire wild fortress wall.

   “It’s a pity.” Watching the bone ladder gradually form, Edroso sighed softly in his heart.

   Cavalry’s charge is at the height difference advantage when it is the most powerful, that is, when charging from an uphill road to a downhill road; the next is a frontal charge with sufficient distance, such as the plains 100 meters away. However, the structure of the white bone ladder is a reverse charge from bottom to top, which requires twice as much damage for the cavalry charge as usual. Even the strength of the charge will be inferior.

  It’s just that Edroso has no chance to choose.

  He has already seen that the defender standing on the wall is very powerful. If he hadn’t transformed and forcibly enhanced the forces deployed under his command through demonized means, he would have encountered such an army at other times. It will only be himself who will be defeated. Therefore, he could only let his cavalry unit take the lead in the charge. Only in this way is it more hopeful to be able to open a hole, and then tear a wound, so that the subsequent troops can continuously attack the city wall and gain a firm foothold.

  This is war.

  If he can operate slowly, he certainly hopes that the Bone Ladder can build a platform with a length of 100 meters, which is more suitable for his army to play.

  But it’s a pity. He does not have such a platform.

  Insufficient material is a factor. Another factor is that he doesn’t think this “companion” around him will help him in this way.

  A skeletal cavalry came out of the cavalry formation with a horse.

  This is a skeletal horse with a horse skeleton, but like the whole army, it is also an illusion shield. In fact, this is a war horse with all four hooves burning with black flames. The horse’s body is as black as ink, and the eyes have bright red rays. It looks particularly ferocious and hideous. The horse is not wearing a vest. It’s not that there is no preparation, but it is not needed.

  This is not a horse from the plane of bones. It’s a horse-type warcraft unique to the local world-Firehoof.

  This kind of beast has strong impact ability and speed. It only grows near the Millennium Covenant Empire in the Southern Continent. It is the favorite mount of many knights and an important economic source for the export and sales of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Originally, Edroso’s firehoof beast was only Tier 6, but after Edroso became a fallen one, his mount also gained strength. Now it has the strength of Tier 8. Coupled with some special features given by the undead clan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ninth-order beast.

   Edroso turned on his horse, and then held a spear in his right hand, staring at the fortress wall indifferently.

  At this time, the height of the bone ladder has been built to 29 meters, and countless skeleton soldiers are climbing up frantically, preparing to transform into the last one-meter ladder.

  With the wave of Edroso’s hand, the entire undead cavalry phalanx immediately formed two rows: one left and one right.

  At this moment, a fiery red tornado suddenly broke through the city wall.

  Bright red, blazing, and violent, this is how this huge flaming red tornado with a diameter of five meters gives everyone present.

When this tornado rose up, pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, and began to spread quickly, and the sky began to dye the color of a burning cloud, the acid rain that fell from the dark clouds also began to gradually diminish. . As for those areas that were affected by the flame tornado and turned into burning clouds, the acid rain stopped falling, leaving only a bright color.

  In a split second, among the group of skeleton mages who used acid rain magic, a piece of white mist exploded.

  These are skeletons that were directly blown to death because of the impact of the flame tornado, which caused acid rain to devour magic power.

  However, these dead skeleton mages only occupy a very small part of the entire huge group of skeleton mages, even less than a thousand. Although the explosion is still continuing, but this is because Cecilia is taking advantage of the danger-the mana consumption of the skeleton mage is close to the end of the crossbow, even if Cecilia does not cast this tornado, the acid rain will soon end. It’s just that she was unwilling to be unwilling to be crushed and beaten in this way and could not cause some losses to the undead army, so she chose to take action at this moment.

“Humph.” The mysterious skeleton didn’t seem to care about the constant sacrifices of his skeleton mage. He still only let out a sneer, “Struggle, despair, unwilling… the more you are, the more your soul is. It’s delicious!”

  As the skeleton’s words fell, the last one-meter white bone ladder was finally completed, and the soul fire in its eye sockets suddenly lit up a few times.

  All the skeleton wizards who were casting the spell immediately stopped, and quickly withdrew to the left and right sides, giving way to the middle of the road leading to the bone ladder. And those skeleton soldiers who have not had time to turn into bone ladder materials, simply rush to the city wall, quickly board the city wall, they will be the best bait to create chaos. This is also the conventional method used by the undead army after creating the bone ladder: use the skeleton soldiers that have not been exhausted to go to the city wall to create chaos, provide better fighting space and occasions for the subsequent undead army, and occasionally even be able to board the subsequent army. Take down the city wall smoothly before going up to the city wall.

   However, facing the elite army of the Void Duchy of Steel Wings, it is obviously impossible to do this.

  Edrozo let out a roar, and the two skeletal cavalry units on the left and right sides slowly began to run forward. (To be continued~^~)
