Chapter 564: Annihilation War

"My lord, I arrived just in time, and I was preparing to launch an all-out attack, and this time those striker sentries were in a great position, luring most of the bone knights together, saving me the trouble of finding them. Field Marshal Eriksson issued an invitation.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look. "Sean didn't tell Field Marshal Erikson that the striker sentries did it on their orders.

The battlefield chosen by Marshal Erickson was a valley.

It is said to be a valley, but in fact, on both sides is a small earthen bag less than 100 meters higher than the flat land, and there is a small stream less than 10 meters wide under the valley bottom, and there are many various blister ponds, which are not expected to be deep.

Sean is now also a veteran of the battlefield, and he can see the geographical advantages here at a glance.

The Bull and Fortress armies dispatched by the Third Army were mainly infantry, and if they wanted to encircle the Skeleton Knights, they had to limit their charging momentum and mobility to the greatest extent.

The more complex terrain at the bottom of the valley is an excellent choice.

The small earthen slopes on either side were an excellent choice for long-range attacks, and the mortars in the two regimental wings had all been grouped together to form a small artillery position with fifteen mortars.

Of these fifteen mortars, only three were medium-sized, and the rest were all lightweight, portable mortars.

During this period, the Firearms Bureau was making every effort to produce infantry guns and mortars, and the high-quality products were given priority to equipping the two independent artillery regiments, and some of the inferior or redundant products went to other corps wings, among which the Third Army gave the highest priority, because of the special nature of the enemy they faced.

Previously, Sean asked Marshal Eriksson not to use artillery easily, for fear of alarming the mastermind behind the Klein tribe and failing to achieve a surprise effect.

Now that there are no such concerns, Marshal Erikson can naturally take out all the means at his disposal.

"Annihilation begins!"

At the command of Field Marshal Erikson, the outposts poured out in droves, and in only half an hour they came back again, and behind them, the sound of horses' hooves roared, and a group of skeletal knights rushed into the canyon with their bite on them.

Obviously, these bone knights have already been lured to the vicinity by them with the Sentinel Cavalry, and now it is enough to find a way to lure them over.

His Excellency the God of Death wanted to slip away, but naturally he couldn't do it under the noses of the many sentries of the Eternal Night Commander, so he sent the Bone Knight to chase, exterminate, and hunt them down.

Under the all-encompassing order.

After all, he was ready to abandon the nest, whether it was the undead army or the bone knights, they all belonged to the outcasts, as long as this task was completed, it didn't matter whether they were dead or alive, so they didn't care about the coordination of foot and horsemen, giving the Eternal Night Army Leader the opportunity to make a targeted layout.

The skeletal knights rushed into the valley and found themselves facing an enemy that was not just a sentinel cavalry, still fearless and without the slightest hint of flinching or hesitating.

Then again, they don't know what fear is.

He didn't even need to assemble all the numbers before he bravely charged.

They were greeted by a burst of artillery bombardment, not even special shells, just the most ordinary black powder shells, smashed into the camp of the Skeleton Knight, and suddenly a burst of people turned on their backs, flames sprayed, black smoke rose, and stumps flew around.

This is the power that artillery should really have.

If it were to be replaced by ordinary troops, the first time they saw this kind of formation, this wave of artillery bombardment alone would have caused them to collapse directly and flee in all directions.

The previous fierce battle with the dragon wreck battleship controlled by His Excellency the God of Death almost made Sean doubt the power of his artillery position.

More than 200 artillery pieces, plus all kinds of special shells, just didn't completely take down the other party, no matter how you think about it, it's a little chilling.

If the other party hadn't been bent on escaping, what kind of impact would the undead army have on the Eternal Night Army?

It's unimaginable.

These skeleton knights had just finished their artillery positions and plunged headlong into the minefield.

Finally struggled in front of the infantry who were waiting for them, and what awaited them was countless black powder grenades to wash the ground.

Even if it is a monster like the Bone Knight, after three rounds, there are basically no three out of ten, and before they can raise the bone knife, what awaits them is a baptism of combat skills, facing the shield wall and gun, they can't rush in at all, and there are also a big knights transformed into a Super Saiyan inside, only the share of being pressed and beaten, and they fell down in an instant.

It took less than half an hour for the three thousand skeleton knights who seemed to be huge enough to crash into the defensive formations of the bulls and fortress legions.

The combat technique itself has pushed the cold weapon combat of the Eternal Night Army to an unprecedented peak, which is mixed with the cross-era weapon of artillery, as well as the flexible use of various black powder weapons.

The existence of the Bone Knight, who is dominant in cold weapon combat, is naturally a little unsightly, especially when the head is lacking roots.

This is where Sean and Marshal Erikson dare to take the initiative when they know that the number of undead armies is several times that of themselves.

This wave of easy annihilation further boosted their confidence and raised the confidence of the soldiers to an unprecedented height.

You must know that a few years ago, not to mention the elite of the undead soldiers like the Bone Knight, even against the ordinary undead soldiers, in a head-on conflict, they also needed to pay a heavy price to eat them, and in the end they had to rely on various long-range attack equipment, through long-range strangulation, they did not dare to fight melee at all.

Now they easily beat their strongest cavalry all over the ground, let alone ordinary undead soldiers.

What does this mean?

They had grown strong enough, strong enough to crush the foes they once feared.

Like the name of the operation just used by Field Marshal Erickson, it was a war of annihilation in the truest sense of the word.

All the bone knights who were lured over, one counted as one, and none of them could escape, they were either killed or captured like rice dumplings.

Against such an unconventional enemy, once the victory is a glorious victory of total annihilation, after their formation is scattered, they lose their wisdom and become a killing machine that follows the killing instinct again, and does not know how to escape.

Sean, who has a deeper knowledge and understanding of the energy of death spells, basically reverses the root cause of their collective intelligence.

Their soul consciousness has been extracted, it is the standard walking dead, and when many death spell energies are linked together, it will become a collective soul consciousness, and it is normal for collective intelligence to appear.

Their ability to learn collectively is also related to this.

This situation is somewhat similar to the learning of combat skills, through the way of death spell energy engraved in their bodies, to achieve the purpose of memorization.

According to the god of death, it is not difficult to control the magic energy.

Sean's heart swelled up more with the rejoicing, glad that His Excellency the God of Death only focused on the number of undead soldiers, not on their quality, and was inferior in terms of brain holes.

If it were him, Sean would already have a plan on how to improve the belly of these undead soldiers.

Combat skills!

These undead soldiers are natural carriers of combat skills.

It is true that they do not have soul consciousness, and there is no way to integrate soul consciousness into culture, but what flows in their veins is the energy of death spells like substance.

As mentioned earlier, this kind of magic energy is not ordinary magic energy, it is fused with soul consciousness, so that it not only has the plasticity of ordinary magic energy, but also has the stability that they do not have.

Just look at the series of manipulations that His Excellency of the God of Death relied on the Dragon Skeleton Battleship to make before, the kind of arrogant and unreasonable collision and dragon wing acceleration ability is the Dragon Skeleton Battleship itself, but the Black Mist Giant, the Black Mist Chain and the Energy Shield are the use of the death spell energy itself.

What does this mean?

This means that when these spell energies are injected into the body of the undead soldier, they can be completely manipulated into a combat skill pattern.

What would be the horror if these undead soldiers also had a magical energy application similar to that of combat skills, combined with their terrifying power and immortal bodies?

I don't need to describe it specifically!

That's the real killing machine.

In that case, even if the Eternal Night Leader had a new weapon like artillery, it would not be so easy to take them down.

Especially the god of death, who has a huge amount of magical energy.

He was only in a passive escape state, and it took nearly two hours for the Eternal Night Army leader to grind his spell energy to a single point.

It's really hard to say what would have happened if he had a few long-range counterattack means in his hands at that time.

In any case, this demon must not be allowed to remain at large.

It didn't pay attention to long-range attack methods before, and after this long-range artillery fire ravaged by the Eternal Night Army Leader, it will definitely pay more attention to it.

According to the demonic nature of the magic energy, no one can say what kind of sassy operation it will play.

With this concern in mind, Sean did not dare to stay at Marshal Erikson's side for too long, so he returned to the explorer fleet.

Previously, they had consumed the energy of His Excellency the God of Death enough, and the explorer fleet was biting on it, and now they were exhausted, and they hadn't made any moths for the time being.

As it turned out, Sean's concerns were correct.

These gods of death ran in the direction of Brother Port, just for the undead army they had sent earlier.

Just as he was running towards the Brother Port, the direction of the undead army was obviously reversed, and it was no longer blindly approaching the Brother Port, but giving priority to the Danube River.

The magic energy in their bodies, after all, comes from the same source, and it is mixed with soul consciousness, so it is not surprising that they have an intimate connection.

Isn't Sean's soul consciousness able to switch back and forth between soul weapons?

These soul weapons, even if they are thousands of miles away, have an extremely intimate bond with each other.

Although this kind of fetters can't make Sean perceive what they see and hear in real time, it can be accurately located, and even roughly calculate the straight-line distance between the two sides.

The connection between the god of death and the undead soldiers, even if it is not as one as Shaun's, should not be a problem to give them a simple long-range summon command.

Field Marshal Eriksson left a corps to clean up the battlefield, and then turned around and quickly interspersed.

Having already guessed the enemy's operational objectives in advance, when Field Marshal Eriksson led his troops to carry out the battle, the goal was very clear, that is, to take the first step, between the Danube and the undead soldiers.

Although the dragon wreck battleship can go ashore, it is when the magic energy is abundant.

If it dared to jump to the shore now, it would be self-defeating, and it wouldn't have been able to jump far before it was torn to pieces by the Eternal Night Leader.

In this case, the undead soldier can only be asked to find the dragon wreck battleship.

The two sides are racing against time, and the time difference is played.

Once Field Marshal Erickson arrives with his troops first and stops the undead army, even if he does not destroy them, it will only take two to three days.

Even if the Dragonwreck Battleship where the God of Death is located is not dismantled, a large number of reinforcements from the Eternal Night Army will arrive.

If the god of death were to fight the undead army first, there would be a lot of variables, and even if the Eternal Night Warlord solved the crisis caused by the Crane tribe, he might not be able to leave the culprit behind the crisis.

If such a madman is allowed to escape, there will be absolutely endless harm, and maybe one day, he will come back with an endless army of immortals.

Realizing this, Field Marshal Eriksson led the Bull Legion and the Fortress Legion, day and night, rushing wildly, and within twenty kilometers of the Danube River, he was the first to reach the front of the undead army.

To be more precise, it should be forced to the designated battlefield by the Eternal Night Army.

The Eternal Night Leaders have no way to control the actions of the undead army, but they can influence the God of Death to a certain extent.

There's a full fleet behind its ass!

The two explorer warships that were previously hanging on the dragon wreck battleship have long since separated.

It's not that Sean doesn't want to eat the other party in one bite, but the Danube River is a bit too vast, and the explorer fleet must be careful to prevent the dragon wreck battleship from suddenly turning its bow and rushing past them.

Then there is the agility of the Dragonwreck Battleship, which is far above the battleships of the Eternal Night Army.

To a certain extent, the dragon wreck battleship is now a living creature, if you want to be left, if you want to be right, you can toss out a sassy operation beyond the limit, which is naturally very difficult.

What's more, the Lordship of the God of Death has an amazing ability to recover, a true reaper of life, walking across the river, and where it passes, dead fish float up in pieces.

The dead fish are intact on the outside, but they are not alive from the inside out.

Obviously, all of their souls were harvested by the hungry god of death, frantically devouring all the magic energy and producing new death magic energy.

The Explorer Fleet would not have watched it recuperate, and the shelling never stopped.

Driven by their conscious drive, the Dragonwreck was soon forced ten kilometers downstream of Brother Harbor.

The Explorer Fleet reined in its compulsion, maintaining a certain amount of suppressive firepower, not allowing the Dragonwreck's energy to grow too fast, and at the same time not forcing the dogs to jump over the wall and rush into Brother Harbor or the Eternal Night Command.
