Chapter 1019: For the Light
"What do these humans want to do? How dare you go straight to me! Looking for death? ”
Bronham, the godfather of souls, is the supreme commander of the Scourge in the area around Gerald. He is a psychic necromancer who keeps Gerald's Soul Forge running.
If the Psychic Tower is compared to the Scourge Legion's substation, then the Soul Forge is a nuclear power plant. Countless souls of the dead have been gathered into the Soul Forge by the Scourge to provide soul energy to the entire legion. The dead world, which corresponds to the earth, does not get enough undead because of the cutting off of the Scourge Legion. This act of disrupting the world order makes the Scourge a mortal target for the will of the Earth plane.
Bronham's first priority is to keep the Soul Forge safe, so when the Holy Guard breaks through from the sea, his first instinct is to deploy troops to defend the Soul Forge and then call for help. Yes, help!
With 20,000 defenders facing 3,000 Holy Guards, Bronham thought of asking for help. You want to! Humans are not undead and will obey orders absolutely. Who will carry out a mission to the death? Even if there are occasional people who are not afraid of death, it is impossible for 3,000 people not to be afraid of death.
Since humans can send 3,000 people to land, it is not unusual to send another 30,000 people. Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the human beings on the opposite side is quite strong, but the number is small but extremely arrogant, how to look at it, there is a problem.
In line with the idea of being cautious and not mistaken, Bronham gathered 8,000 elite mobile troops in the soul furnace in the center of the city, and 5,000 troops went to the coast to consolidate the coastal defense and delay the landing of the follow-up human troops, while the remaining troops guarded the perimeter of the communication line and began to work overtime to improve the defense line.
As for the small army that doesn't know whether to live or die, it's okay to go with them and destroy some peripheral factories or something, it's not a big deal, and then encircle and suppress when reinforcements come.
As a result, for three days in a row, Abydis's army destroyed many outlying strongholds of the natural disaster, and nothing happened.
Bronham didn't wait for reinforcements, but for a reprimand.
The main force of the Western Group Army of the natural disaster has already started a battle with the main force of Pakistan and Railway, and there is no extra reinforcement at all. However, the Gerald area, which is a logistics base, has been slow to send supplies and troops. Naturally, it attracted scolding from the commander of the army group.
After being scolded, Bronham could only pay for his misjudgment. Human reinforcements were delayed, and he naturally couldn't let this small army stay around. After intercepting 5,000 soldiers who should have been sent to the front line, he left 3,000 guards, and personally led 10,000 undead troops to pounce on the human stronghold outside the city.
In addition, he also drew 3,000 troops from the coastal defense troops and other strongholds to encircle them from the flanks and rear.
A total of 13,000 and 3,000, a fourfold advantage in troops, even if the combat effectiveness of the garrison troops is slightly poor, it should be able to eat. There are no classes like the Frost Dragon and the Self-Detonating Blood Bat, but as a military city, the garrison has a lot of mechanized equipment.
First, the bombardment of poisonous shells covered the small half of the hill in yellow-green smoke, and the flowing venom corroded the fortifications to the point of sizzling.
Not to be outdone, the magic cannon erected in the fortifications of the heights bombarded five venom cannons in succession, and the detonated ammunition shrouded the artillery of the natural disaster in a poisonous fog.
The artillery of the Holy Guard had strong fortifications and a condescending perspective, and the artillery commander Willy was experienced, and although the number of magic cannons was much smaller, the Scourge artillery was severely damaged in the artillery battle at a very small cost.
Long-range strikes did not work, and the ground forces of the natural disaster began to advance. Anyway, I am not afraid of accidental injury, even if the ground forces engage, the poisonous bombs of natural disasters will not stop.
The terrain around the hill where the Holy Guard was stationed was rugged, and it was difficult for mechanized troops to advance, so they could only use infantry as the main force of attack. The first wave of attacks was spearheaded by a thousand mixed infantry.
Abidis drew his long sword and said: "Marlan, after the first wave of the enemy's attack is crushed, I will lead the death squad to attack the undead leader, and you will lead people to destroy the siege equipment." ”
The Holy Guard had limited supplies, and although the artillery battle had the upper hand for a while, the magic cannon only had a thousand shells, and it didn't take long. Therefore, it is necessary to be proactive.
"General......
Abidis didn't give Marlan a chance to speak, and the holy light rose all over his body, covering a range of more than a hundred meters. "For the sake of the Light, destroy these evil debris!"
"For the Light!"
"For the Light!"
The passionate slogan ignited the anger in the hearts of the people, and the aura of more than two hundred paladins was connected to disperse the poisonous gas. A faint golden light glowed on all of them, which could withstand the plagues and evil spells of the natural calamity. Of course, maintaining the aura cost a lot, so the soldiers jumped out of cover and faced the undead.
Boom Boom! The violent explosion shattered the undead troops' offensive formation. It wasn't magic, it was the Holy Guard that had detonated the psionic high explosives that had been buried in the mountain road beforehand. For a moment, the landslide cracked, and the flying stones injured and knocked down hundreds of undead. Even more venom monsters were punctured through the sac, and the poison that flowed corroded the nearby undead into a thousand holes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Abidis leaped down, and the divine storm swept by, so that more than a dozen undead could never get up. The brave and fearless soldiers of the Holy Guard scrambled to kill them, rushing all the way from top to bottom, and a thousand undead were crushed without making any waves. Then, take advantage of the situation to counterattack and kill the main force of the natural disaster.
"Stupid mortals!" Bronham was initially taken aback by the bursting combat power of the Holy Guards, but when he saw them pounce on him, intending to behead him, he couldn't help but smile. It is inconvenient for mechanical undead to attack the mountain, but no one is afraid of it on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain. He is also very confident in his own strength.
Before the Holy Guard arrived, the magic guide cannonballs fell in the natural disaster array first, and more than ten shells from two rounds of shelling could not shake the mechanized troops of the natural calamity.
Heavy tanks and motorized structures quickly caught up with the Holy Guards as they rushed down the hill. These mechanical structures were easily defeated by heavy firepower in front of the Dragon Warriors, but they were extremely ferocious in the face of the infantry-based Holy Guard.
It would take a lot of effort for even a high-ranking paladin to smash a motorcycle structure, let alone a thick-skinned tank structure.
Bronham is a powerful mage, and his group shadow arrows are more powerful than machine guns, and they can break through defenses with twenty shots at a time.
Abidis, who rushed to the front, was overwhelmed by the Scourge ranged attack. Defensive spells such as the Holy Shield and Shelter were broken one after another, and the Crusader Shield blessed by the Holy Light was also dented by a heavy cannon.
The combat instructor Herod had already torn off the tattered armor on his body and roared angrily, "Are all the men of the Holy Guard dead? Charge with me! ”
The main target of the Scourge attack is the glittering paladin, who is also the core of the Scourge to restrain the Scourge. But the Paladies weren't all paladins, and Herold was the best warrior among them. A tomahawk was thrown like a whirlwind, directly cutting the two motorcycle structures in half, and it was already unstoppable and slaughtered the group of mages in the back row of the natural disaster.
Several fighters charged to the side of the tank structure, ignoring the undead infantry covering the surrounding area, and ignited the explosive package and pressed it onto the tank structure.
Boom Boom!
The tank structure, which was the fulcrum of the defensive line, was actually destroyed by a human suicide bombing, and Bronham couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: Isn't this a tactic used by our undead?
