Chapter 470: Collision Head-on!
Like the Archduke of Thunder, since the enemy is undead, the vast majority of the "soldiers" in this army brought by Karen are elemental creatures and constructs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Using a construct such as an elemental creature or a golem as a low-level soldier has the advantage of not having to worry about morale and food supplies, but the disadvantage is that you need a large number of mid- and lower-level officers to command the troops.
This is because elemental creatures can only fight on instinct when no one is in command, and constructs such as golems can only attack through some pre-set tactics, so their strength will be greatly reduced.
Therefore, in order to fully exploit the strength of these elemental creatures and constructs, Kalian needs a large number of mid- and low-level officers to be in charge of the grassroots command.
This is a big problem for her.
Due to the assassination of the previous Grand Duke of Flame, under the attack of the Mantes Empire, the various legions in the war zone that were originally subordinate to the Grand Duke of Flame can be said to have suffered considerable losses.
Such a heavy loss directly led to the fact that when the Grand Duke of Thunder could easily draw out enough middle- and low-level officers, Karen could only stare at those elemental creatures and constructs.
In fact, if you work hard to squeeze in the entire southern theater, you can still squeeze out some middle and low-level officers, but such a small number of middle and low-level officers is a drop in the bucket for the current Kalian troops.
Fortunately, this problem was solved by Aisha in time.
After a long period of time, most of the mechanical soldiers who followed the mechanical warrior Kraft have awakened their self-awareness, and they themselves have a lot of similarities with the Golem troops as a constructor, so after obtaining Karen's authorization, these mechanical soldiers easily reorganized all the Golem troops in a way with ten.
Similarly, the Gargoyle troops were reorganized in this way. However, due to the complexity of the control of these flying units, the Elite Warriors under Kraft are responsible for commanding and dispatching the Gargoyles, and each Elite Warrior is responsible for commanding between fifty and one hundred Gargoyles.
Although the process was a bit cumbersome, thanks to the efforts of the mech soldiers, a large number of constructs were quickly and completely reorganized. And with the mechanical soldiers in charge of the command and dispatch of the constructing unit, the liberated middle and low-level officers naturally became the grassroots commanders of the elemental troops.
Fortunately, the elemental creatures themselves will obey the command of the same type of elemental creature bosses, so the commanders who are actually a little insufficient in number can easily reorganize the entire elemental legion as long as they are responsible for dispatching those elemental creature bosses.
Of course, there are still many drawbacks to this integration method. The mechanical soldiers who can communicate orders through radio signals and other means can talk a little, but if Karen wants to convey some orders to the grassroots commanders who are responsible for commanding the elemental creatures, she will have to convey them layer by layer through a large number of heralds.
In this way of conveying orders, it is inevitable that there will be some delays, which will very much test the judgment ability of Karen as the commander and those grassroots commanders.
Fortunately, Shiva, who was in charge of reconnaissance, discovered the existence of the undead legion in advance, so Karen, who had not yet engaged in a confrontation with the enemy army, still had time to command and dispatch in advance.
"Move the Earth Elemental forces to the front, and let them withstand the onslaught of the undead legions."
"The Ice Elemental Force doesn't need to do anything for the time being, and the Fire Elemental Force will provide long-range support! Don't be stingy with your magic and give me a hard beating! ”
"Put the wind elemental forces on standby, tasked with intercepting the enemy's ghost troops. Until the ghost forces appear, they are not allowed to strike! ”
"The Golem troops are on standby for the time being, and if there is a gap in the defense line of the earth elemental troops, it is up to them to fill the hole. At the same time, let the gargoyle troops support the earth elemental troops and the golem troops, and be sure to firmly block the enemy attack! ”
"Let the mage group be ready to cast spells, low-level undead such as ordinary skeleton soldiers and zombies don't need their help, wait until the enemy army sends out vampires, ghouls, and mid-to-high-level undead such as Ramasu, and then bombard them with strategic magic in the first time!"
After a series of quick orders, Karene turned to look at Aisha and asked in a low voice, "Aisha, do you definitely have anything else to add?" ”
"No, I don't."
Aisha smiled and shook her head: "The overall strength of the enemy army is still unknown for the time being, so it is better to fight steadily like this." But ......"
"But what?"
Karene immediately turned her head over, for Aisha, who has the status of "prophet", Karene is quite trusting.
"It's not like I'm suggesting anything, it's ...... Artoria. ”
Aisha smiled wryly and then pointed to Artoria beside her, "She seems to want to go to the front." ”
"Yes!"
Artoria nodded vigorously: "In terms of battle array command, I'm still a little confident!" ”
"This ......"
Looking at the heroic Artoria, Karen hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll assign a team of Steel Golems to you." ”
"Thank you for your trust!"
Artoria nodded vigorously, and then a burst of white light erupted from her body.
By the time the white light had dissipated, Artoria had already changed her outfit.
The white battle skirt, and the equally white armor, plus the unsheathed sword in his hand, which radiated golden light.
Artoria at this moment is a veritable "pure white knight"!
Under the gaze of some dumbfounded everyone, Artoria directly turned over and rode a white war horse, and then galloped away.
"Looks like we've made a mistake."
After the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, Karen smiled bitterly: "It seems that this Miss Artoria is probably the commander of the Guards specially arranged for you by His Majesty." ”
When she saw the momentum exuded by Artoria in a military uniform, Karene understood that Miss Artoria was definitely a very good general.
While admiring, Karen did not forget what she had said, and immediately said to Barth, who was in charge of delivering the order: "Immediately send a team of the best Steel Golems to the command of that Miss Artoria, and the speed must be fast!" ”
Bart nodded silently, his eyes flickering.
Accurate information was transmitted accurately and quickly by her through various channels to the receivers of those mechanical soldiers. The mechanical soldiers who received the order immediately sprang into action, and after a brief exchange, sent the most elite team of Steel Golems to Artoria.
However, just as Karene and the others were ready to fight, the undead legion in the distance also discovered that something was wrong.
After all, this is the territory of the undead, and with a large number of undead scouts, one of the lichs in charge of commanding this undead legion reacted quickly when he noticed the movement of the enemy army.
"Have you found out?"
The flickering lich in his eyes touched his sleek skull, and said in a casual tone: "Well, it doesn't matter anymore, those living people will definitely not be our opponents anyway." ”
The confident lich then ordered his subordinates through the telepathic link: "Let Siegel attack immediately, and toss the enemy well!" ”
After receiving the lich's order, one of the corpse witches on the front line of the undead legion raised his head and pointed directly at the front with the bone staff in his hand.
The skeleton soldiers, who had been staying quietly in place, suddenly raised their heads and silently walked towards the enemy.
"Whoa...... Wow...... Whoop ......"
There are so many skeletons that they can form a sea of bones. And the sound of so many skeletons walking together is as noisy as the waves of the sea.
Seeing an incalculable number of skeleton soldiers emerge from the mist, Karen and the others, who were observing the front with various spells, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The pressure of an almost endless stream of enemies coming towards you is like chilling in the face of a natural disaster.
Fortunately, at the forefront are either the Earth Elemental Troops, who don't know what fear is, or the Gargoyle Troops with empty heads. Therefore, the appearance of this sea of skulls did not affect the morale of Kalian's side.
Under the orders of the grassroots commanders, the fire elementals who had been waiting for a long time raised their heads one after another, staring coldly at the enemy in the distance.
When the skeletons at the front finally reached the most suitable distance for them to pour firepower, the fire elementals raised their arms sharply and attacked the skeletons.
There is no doubt that as fire elemental creatures, what these fire elementals are best at throwing fireballs at their enemies.
Thousands of fireballs flew out of the fire elementals' hands, and after crossing a considerable distance, they landed accurately on the heads of the skeleton soldiers.
"Bang!"
"Bang ......"
Violent explosions rang out continuously, and at the same time as the flames exploded, an incalculable number of bones flew into the sky.
Through the screen formed by the magic, Kalian, who has good eyesight, can also see a skull flying into the air with its mouth open in shock.
What's going on?
Judging from the soul fire in the eyes of the puzzled skull, it was obvious that it hadn't hung up yet, but it probably wouldn't last long with only one head left.
Before the somewhat curious Karene could pay attention to the fate of the skull, the second wave of fireballs exploded and the flames engulfed the hapless skull......
Without the urging of the commanders, the fire elementals who had been holding back for a long time unscrupulously converted all their magic power into fireballs in their hands, and then threw them at the skeletons in the distance one after another.
Under the onslaught of the fire elementals, the number of skeleton soldiers was repeatedly reduced, and soon became sparse.
Even so, the drastically reduced number of skeletons still took a step, unswervingly advancing towards the enemy in their eyes.
Then, when they finally got close to the enemy, they were knocked straight down.
When the skeletons finally came up to them, the densely packed earth elementals raised their two arms, which were much thicker than normal bears' waists, and struck at them without hesitation.
With just one punch, the skeleton soldiers who were hit were scattered, and the only remaining wreckage was directly thrown into the dirt by the earth elementals who were merciless when they attacked.
In this way, the earth elementals punched and threw all the skeleton soldiers who dared to run in front of them into the earth.
However, the number of skeleton soldiers is too much, and after the onslaught of the fire elementals and the heavy blows of the earth elementals, there are still many fish that have slipped through the net and successfully got a chance to make a move.
Without hesitation, these lucky skeleton soldiers picked up the small pieces of knives in their hands and slashed at the bodies of the earth elementals in front of them.
"Boom!"
When the small piece of knife landed on the earth elemental with a rocky body, it only made a small muffled sound, and then the skeleton soldier who shot was smashed to the ground by the earth elemental that was hit.
However, as the skeleton soldiers continued to advance, more and more skeleton soldiers successfully came to the earth elementals, raised the rudimentary weapon in their hands and slashed over.
All of a sudden, the front line of defense continued to sound the muffled sound of "knock knock".
Just as the number of skeleton soldiers who came in front of the earth elementals increased, the gargoyle troops finally moved. At the orders of the commanders, the gargoyles flew up quickly and pounced on the skeletons in front of them.
They didn't directly confront the skeleton soldiers, but relied on the advantage of flying to directly grab the skeleton soldiers' heads.
The skeletons that had lost their heads fell apart, and their skulls were quickly returned by the gargoyles - smashed to the ground.
Under the strong offensive of the gargoyles, the skeleton soldiers' offensive suddenly stalled.
But at this time, another low-level undead who had been following the skeleton soldiers had finally come to the front line of the battle.
“…… Brain...... Child! ”
“…… Grunt. ”
One by one, the zombies, who spoke all sorts of slurred words, came to the earth elementals with rudimentary weapons such as kitchen knives and pitchforks.
Some of the zombies still have more and more flames burning on their bodies, and it is clear that when they pass through the "death zone" laid by the fire elementals, they are afraid of fire and lose much more than the skeleton soldiers.
But the thick-skinned zombies came to the enemy slowly but firmly in front of the enemy's attack.
“…… Gollum! ”
"Woo!"
“…… Open...... It's time to eat! ”
Shouting all kinds of words of unknown meaning, the zombies directly replaced the original skeleton soldiers and rushed forward against the attacks of the earth elementals!
