Chapter 161: The Battle of Fort Dosse 1

"Your Majesty...... Still can't get in touch?" asked Claire.

Charlotte awakens the communication badge, and Sylvia has gone to the universe just how far away from the world of Steeu. In short, perhaps because of the distance, or because of the impact of storms, turbulence, or even human factors, the communication badge just can't establish a link.

"......," Claire was silent for a moment, then asked, "can't you try it with that notebook?" I heard that if Your Majesty writes on the other end, the journal in your hand will receive the information. ”

In other words, a communication badge and a diary are like phone calls and text messages in the other.

Charlotte's face flushed, and he stumbled and asked, "Y-Where did you hear that?"

The Book of Etroac flew out of Charlotte's arms, circled in the air and turned into a silver-haired young girl, pulling at Claire at the startled eyes of the lighthouse officers in the hallway.

"Claire, you untrustworthy bastard! Lily, let's go! I'll take you to something delicious!"

"Hmm, huh?" Lily, the little goblin, gripped her index finger into her mouth, her saliva flowing like a river bursting its banks. She glanced at Claire and flapped her thin glittering wings as she flew out of the castle window behind Elle.

"Teacher Claire, congratulations on losing the favor of two women in a row. Needless to say, there is no one else who dares to say such a thing to Claire, who has always been cold-faced, except for Lolita, who is determined to die.

"I don't think the two of them can be called women, little girls are pretty much the same. Claire replied with a rare reply, and looked at Charlotte with a smirk.

The latter finally recovered from his blushing face, he shook his head and sighed, "Give up, that diary is just a message receiver, and I can't pass any information to my sister at all." So, this difficult task can only be completed by ourselves, until Dorsetburg can hold on. ”

"That's nerve-wracking. Claire covered her forehead.

The next day, as General Allen had predicted at yesterday's military meeting, the Scourge arrived at Fort Dosse with unimaginable speed. After the last defeat, General Allen decided that the Scourge should not be seen as a few rabble, but as a huge and fearless and tireless legion.

He predicted that the Scourge would not steadily expand north of Fort Dosse, as Moon thought, but would aggressively send the main force south to attack Fort Dosse, while sending divisions to invade many areas in the north and expand its forces to replenish its troops. General Allen's idea is well documented, as the enemy is not a living creature and does not need to be fed, so defeating them requires breaking common sense and using new tactics to face the undead undead.

It was precisely because of General Allen's arguments that Fort Dosse did not fall into a state of panic in the face of the sudden attack of the Scourge Legion. At the suggestion of General Allen, the soldiers were divided into three units to rotate in response to the Scourge Legion's attack.

At the beginning, the soldiers of the lighthouse fought back against the besieging Scourge under the correct tactical command, and with the help of the military fortress of Fort Dosse and the assistance of the mages, the Scourge suffered a large number of casualties. But just like the Battle of the Dosse River, as the physical strength of the soldiers declined and the mages depleted their magical energy, the battle loss ratio between the two sides began to change rapidly.

The Battle of the Dosse River cost the Lighthouse a large number of elite soldiers, and the quality of the soldiers was uneven, although the number of troops in the fortress was as high as 5,000 before Zenas reached Fort Dosse.

Most of them were reservists recruited by the militia of the lighthouse, and it was okay for them to defend the city condescendingly under the leadership of the veterans, but once the Scourge approached the city, the soldiers of Fort Dosse began to show signs of weakness.

When the Scourge came up to the city to meet them, the recruits were demoralized and panicked, and some of them couldn't help but turn around and flee when they looked at the hateful zombies and bloodshot skeletons. The rest of the recruits were no better, some of them slashing their weapons with their eyes closed, and those with a little better courage felt stiff and powerless. Even the best of courage can be constrained by the weakness of their peers.

Those recruits are not strong-willed and lack cooperation, and if there is not a veteran by every five recruits to teach by example, it is estimated that the army will collapse as soon as it comes into contact. Another hidden property of the Scourge is beginning to emerge, that is, even if they do nothing, they can destroy the morale and resistance of those who are not strong-willed.

Faced with such a situation, General Verus, as the commander-in-chief, had to send the corps that was originally used as a rotation to stop the decline.

Charlotte and Claire, who had planned to wait for Zenas to arrive to investigate the core of the Scourge, had to disrupt their original plans again and spend their energy taking their disciples into battle. This time, Charlotte even went to the top of the city with a long sword in hand, and he cooperated with Elle to become the most efficient firefighter. The powerful El is responsible for infinity sword making and inflicting massive damage, while Charlotte uses the powers of flashing and the eye of calamity to snipe powerful necromancers.

The battle lasted from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the human side relied on Fort Dosse's defense system and the assistance of top powerhouses such as Charlotte and Claire to destroy the ladders used by the Scourge Legion to enter the city many times. On the other hand, the Scourge Legion took advantage of the characteristics of the necromancers who did not know fear and did not get tired to constantly attack the castle, causing great pressure on the human side.

But as time passed, the battle gradually developed like the Battle of the Dosse River. The fitness and morale of the lighthouse soldiers began to decline rapidly, and by about one o'clock in the afternoon, the lighthouse soldiers who had been pressing down on the reserves were gradually exhausted. No matter how hard Charlotte and Claire tried, the city was gradually occupied by the Scourge Legion.

Maybe summoning Wycliffe can still fight, but after a long battle, Charlotte's magic pool has already been depleted. Coupled with the fact that his magic energy pool was not as deep as before after cutting his soul, and he had not built a spell position in Dorseburg in advance, no matter how he looked at it, his personal combat strength alone could not control the situation of the war.

Just when Charlotte and Claire exchanged glances, planning to retreat with their disciples when they were unable to return to heaven. At the critical moment, Zenas finally led the reorganized army to come back.

This army had accompanied Zenas in the northern and southern wars, defeating Elbert's legacy of what is now the Council of Elders of Valcam, and although it had slackened in recent days, it was still on its own.

Their leadership in Zenas entered Fort Dosse from the south and opened the gates of Fort Dosse to assault the Scourge Legion. Zenas took the lead, leading the elite to destroy the siege equipment of the Scourge Legion in one fell swoop.

The Scourge Legion, which was suddenly attacked, was taken advantage of the chaos by Zenas to slaughter into the hinterland, and the reinforcements descended from the sky under the leadership of this legion leader, killing more than a dozen high-level undead commanders in a row. At this point, the chaotic Scourge Legion had to retreat and regroup.

Dorsetburg survived the crisis of the first day.
