Chapter 467: Ambush!
It took Kalian and the others more than half a month to reluctantly prepare all kinds of strategic materials and officially send troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But three days before they left, the Grand Duke of Thunder, who had prepared the supplies first, couldn't wait to lead his legions to set off.
"Isn't it too risky for us to do this, Grand Duke?"
Due to the establishment of the Grand Duke many times, the young man in the blue coat who has been following the Grand Duke of Thunder has been officially promoted to personal guard by the Grand Duke of Thunder.
"Clark, you've asked this more than ten times."
The Grand Duke of Thunder, who was riding a dragon on the ground, said very calmly: "And my answer is still yes, you will know the answer soon!" ”
After hesitating for a moment, the young man named Clark still asked with a bitter face, "But Grand Duke, if we continue like this, we will definitely attract the attention of the undead and be besieged by them!" ”
Grand Duke Thunder didn't speak, still looking ahead calmly.
Just when Clark thought that the Grand Duke of Thunder intended to remain silent as before, the Grand Duke of Thunder sighed: "Clark, I have always thought that you are indeed a smart person, but why do you always make stupid mistakes on such issues?" ”
"Huh?"
Being said by the Grand Duke of Thunder, Clark felt happy at the same time, but also had a feeling of confusion.
What the hell did he do stupidly?
"Clark, do you think you can think of this kind of problem, so I can't think of it after many years of fighting?"
The Grand Duke of Thunder, who was riding on the back of the earth-walking dragon, glanced directly at Clark.
"This ......"
Clark, who blinked, decisively chose to bow his head: "It's me who is confused!" ”
"Ugh."
Seeing this, the Grand Duke of Thunder sighed: "I'm not blaming you!" ”
"Think again! Even though I knew that I would be besieged by the enemy, what was the reason why I insisted on leaving early! ”
Clarke, who glanced at the Grand Duke of Thunder and saw that he was indeed not angry, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think seriously. However, it may be because he has been thinking about how to persuade the Grand Duke of Thunder to change his mind these days, and for a while, Clark's mind is really a little unable to turn.
Looking at Clark with a distressed face, Grand Duke Thunder could only shake his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, don't guess, I'll explain it to you!" ”
Upon hearing this, Clarke, who was riding a horse, straightened his back and listened to the next words of the Thunder Grand Duke with a respectful expression.
I have to say that his demeanor is really respectful and a little contrived. But although the Grand Duke of Thunder had a little uncertainty on his face, he actually felt quite happy in his heart.
As soon as he was happy in his heart, the voice of the Grand Duke of Thunder suddenly rose a lot when he spoke: "Think about it, if the generals of the undead forces find out about us, how will they react?" ”
"Well, according to common sense, those undead should be furious, and then bring a large number of undead troops to besiege us, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Clarke, who was a little less confident, replied.
"Not bad! If the generals of the undead are brainless skeletons or zombies, there's a good chance they'll do it! ”
Grand Duke of Thunder nodded, but shook his head again: "However, from the information we have obtained, the leaders of this undead force are those necromancers. ”
"Necromancer......"
Clark looked thoughtful.
"Yes, it's a necromancer!"
Grand Duke Thunder nodded heavily, and at the same time raised his right hand holding the horsewhip and gestured: "You should know, right?" It's smart people who can become magicians, even necromancers! And smart people will inevitably think too much! ”
"I see!"
Clark slapped his palms vigorously and said with certainty: "Since we are smart people, then without knowing our details, the leader of the enemy army will naturally suspect our purpose!" ”
"That's it!"
Grand Duke Thunder laughed and said, "Due to the erosion of the breath of death, there are more or less undead necromancers who will inevitably seem a little rigid when doing things!" And according to the standard battle process, at the beginning of the war, both sides should constantly test each other's strength! So ......"
"That's why you ordered those inferior golems and gargoyles to be placed on the periphery."
Clarke, who suddenly realized his face, said: "After making contact with us, the undead generals who find that our strength is not very strong, they will begin to wonder if we are a decoy!" ”
"And at this time, they will find that another army has broken into their territory!"
The Grand Duke of Thunder said proudly, "These days, I have been paying attention to the movements of that young Grand Duke of Flame! When I was sure that they should be ready to go on the expedition in the next few days, I officially ordered the troops to be sent out, having been fully prepared for a long time! Calculating the time, they should have already stepped into the territory of the undead at this time. ”
"Since you ordered all troops to be careful of enemy attacks, we advanced at half the usual rate during these three days."
Clarke, who was holding his chin, said very seriously: "In other words, we are only a day and a half away from the base camp in the rear!" If we run into the undead in these two days, then it will only take two days at most for the undead on the other route to run into the forces of the Flame Grand Duke! ”
"Also, after encountering the undead, I will order everyone to focus on defense!"
Grand Duke Thunder said with a smile: "Coupled with those inferior golem troops on the periphery, as long as the generals of the undead troops we encounter are not too stupid, they should naturally suspect that we are just a pretense!" ”
"When the undead forces have focused their attention on the Flame Grand Duke, you will suddenly exert your strength and start attacking the enemy army with all your might!"
Clark, whose eyes were glowing, said, "Then break through the encirclement of the enemy army in one go, and attack their main city directly before the leader of the undead forces reacts!" ”
Grand Duke Thunder nodded with a smile on his face, his face full of pride.
Such an offensive plan is actually very simple, but Grand Duke Thunder believes that as long as those necromancers in the undead force still retain the mind of a spellcaster, there is a chance that they will fall into his pit!
What's more, even if this plan is not successful, then the loss of the Grand Duke of Thunder will not be great.
Because the structures he arranged on the periphery were all inferior products, even if there was a lot of loss, the Grand Duke of Thunder would not feel distressed. Moreover, even if the undead did not fall for the plan, the Grand Duke of Thunder could pull out the elite troops arranged in the inner encirclement at any time and forcibly break through the encirclement of the enemy army!
Such a plan can be attacked, and retreat can be defended! It's no wonder that the Thunder Guild is so proud.
However, the joy and sadness were that just when the Grand Duke of Thunder was immersed in the compliments of Clark and the others, the Earth Walking Dragon under his seat suddenly felt that his feet sank, and then the entire Earth Walking Dragon fell into the pit that suddenly appeared!
Naturally, the Grand Duke of Thunder, who failed to react in time, also fell in......
Suddenly this kind of accident happened, Clark and the others were stunned for a moment.
After a while, someone came back to his senses and shouted anxiously, "Oh no, the Grand Duke has fallen into the pit!" ”
But just when everyone was busy trying to rescue the Grand Duke, Clark jumped up and shouted at the same time: "All the troops are on alert!" ”
Before his words fell, there were bursts of sword clashing from the periphery of the entire army!
Legion of the Undead, coming!
"Quick! Notify now! Let the Golem troops on the periphery immediately start defending with all their might! ”
Almost exhausted all his strength, Clark roared hoarsely: "At the same time, hurry up and inform the leaders of those elemental creatures, don't rush to attack!" Be quick! ”
Watching a few heralds lead the way, Clark was relieved to rush to the pit.
However, before they could take a closer look at the pit that had suddenly appeared, a bolt of lightning burst out of the pit.
The Grand Duke of Thunder, whose whole body was wrapped in a layer of electric light, rushed out of the pit, and then landed lightly on the edge of the pit.
"Lao Tzu has led the troops to fight for so many years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a sinister enemy!"
The pale-faced Grand Duke of Thunder roared angrily: "his uncle!" This trap was designed for those large creatures! ”
In other words, if the weight is not enough, nothing will happen even if you step directly on the pit.
That's why the soldiers who walked in front of the Grand Duke didn't fall into the pit.
Waving his hand to block the hands of Clark and the others who tried to support him, the gloomy Thunder Grand Duke began to chant towards the pit.
As the mount of a legendary powerhouse, although this earthly dragon under the throne of the Grand Duke of Thunder has not reached the legendary realm, it is also a powerful demonic beast with ninth-order strength. Therefore, this pit did not hurt the Earth Dragon in the slightest, but it was still quite difficult for the Earth Dragon that fell into the pit to crawl out of it.
No way, the major is not right.
After a few quick syllables, the Thunder Archduke, who had taken out a wand, pointed at the pit, and then the disgraced Earth Dragon rose up from the trap and landed peacefully beside it under the control of the Thunder Archduke.
"Roar!"
When the Grand Duke lifted the magic, the equally annoyed Earth Dragon let out a roar towards the sky.
Growing so big, it's the first time this Earth Dragon has suffered this kind of loss!
"Alright, old man, calm down."
The same grizzled Grand Duke of Thunder patted Di Xinglong's back and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, there will be a chance for revenge!" ”
When he said this, the eyes of the gloomy Thunder Grand Duke were unusually resolute.
No matter which onion the undead general dug this pit is, he will send it back to the underworld!
Under the appeasement of the Grand Duke of Thunder, his earthly dragon flicked its tail and then lay down honestly.
After being a mount for so many years, this quite humane earth dragon knows very well that the Grand Duke of Thunder has always been the same!
So the red-eyed dragon lay on the ground, quietly waiting for the signal to move.
After quieting down the beast, Grand Duke of Thunder gave a loud order: "Go and inform Carter, who is responsible for leading the fire element troops, and ask him to take the fire element troops to support the golem troops in front!" ”
Although the relationship with the other three Grand Dukes was very stiff, in terms of troop support, the three Grand Dukes, including Karen, still allocated enough elemental troops to the Thunder Grand Duke.
By the way, the Elemental Convergence Point possessed by the Grand Duke of Thunder is the Convergence Point of the Earth Elemental, so the number of Earth Elemental troops under his command is the largest. Unfortunately, when it comes to dealing with the undead, it is the fire elemental forces under Kalian's command that are more useful.
"If you only send fire elemental troops to support, isn't it too little?"
Clark asked softly.
"No, that's just right."
The Grand Duke of Thunder, who had already confirmed the type of enemy army, replied casually: "So far, the undead creatures that have appeared are all skeleton warriors and zombies, not a single Ramasu or vampire, and it is obvious that the enemy army is only testing us. Our goal is to stall for time, so it's not appropriate to clean up too quickly. ”
"As now, relying on the golems to resist the onslaught of the undead creatures, supported by fire elementals and gargoyles, is enough to slowly and steadily reduce the number of those undead while minimizing the damage."
When he said this, the expression of the Grand Duke of Thunder suddenly changed: "Don't worry, when the enemy starts to send high-level undead creatures, it is when we start to defend with all our might!" ”
Clark nodded, then looked ahead as well.
Just when the Grand Duke of Thunder was attacked, Karen also officially stepped into the territory of the undead with his legions.
Although they all knew that the Grand Duke of Thunder had set off ahead of schedule, at Aisha's suggestion, Karene ordered the whole army not to rush forward, as long as they marched at a normal pace.
While the entire army was steadily advancing, Dio, who had left Teresa and Bart and others by Aisha's side, went to scout alone once again.
But this time, in addition to checking if there are any changes in the undead forces, Dio has other purposes!
When Karen and Aisha were far away and there was no trace of the army, Dio found a relatively secluded place and silently took out a small black box.
The black box was inlaid with a red gem that began to glow faintly as Dio pressed it.
It didn't take long for several figures to appear and quickly come to Dio.
Standing at the forefront of these people is Melia of the Assassins' Guild!
