"Brother Cong, you talked to the planner well, right?"

Bai Xiaosheng asked in a low voice, he could see that Xu Ercong was in a good mood, and it should be quite rewarding to talk with the planner.

"It's really rewarding."

Xu Ercong nodded: "At least, I can confirm two points now, the technical strength of the Grim Reaper is far beyond our imagination, and the other is that the next game content may involve NPC-related changes." ”

"Oh?"

Long Aotian and Bai Xiaosheng pricked up their ears one after another: "Brother Cong, what kind of change is it, let's talk about it." ”

Now the Grim Reaper Scourge has brought a lot of benefits to the three major clubs, not to mention the player's traffic and the sale of offline derivative products, just the advertising benefits and partner fees brought by the main city of players in the north are very considerable.

So when it comes to the inside information of the next game content of the Grim Reaper, Long Aotian and Bai Xiaosheng are just as concerned as Xu Ercong.

"Don't look at me, I'm just guessing."

Xu Ercong said helplessly: "Actually, I don't know the specific content of the game, and Xu Jihua didn't tell me." ”

Long Aotian was in a hurry: "What a dog..... Forget it, don't scold. ”

He thought about it, the plan is still in the Hall of Death, in case it is heard, causing the Aotian Club to be plotted and hated, then he Long Aotian should not want to mix in this game.

"Let's go back first and discuss it slowly."

Xu Ercong took the lead and walked out, followed by Bai Xiaosheng: "Hey, Brother Cong, you said that the planned game character is the Grim Reaper boss, so the Grim Reaper NPC who came to us last time is not Xu Planning himself?" ”

"I don't know, but it should be, I think Xu Jihua likes the game character of the Grim Reaper."

"Brother Cong, aren't we just going to win? The game planner is the big boss of our camp, and the NPC camp is still fighting with us. ”

"Haha, the analysis makes sense."

Long Aotian quietly turned around and glanced at the dark Hall of Death behind him, he always felt a little eerie.

Could Xu have hidden behind the door and secretly looked at me, holding a grudge against what I had just said to him?

When Long Aotian thought of this, he couldn't help but shudder, turned around and ran away, shouting in his mouth: "Two brothers, autumn bean sacks!" Wait for me, little brother! ”

Not long after the team battle ended, there were still many accumulated things waiting for the three major clubs to deal with, and Xu Ercong felt that after discussing with the planner, he had many ideas and plans in his heart that needed to be implemented.

Compared to the rare calm after the end of the team battle in the northern city, there was a group of people in another distant place who were not in a good mood.

......

"What the hell is going on!"

Archpriest William looked at the devastated garrison in front of him, which was littered with corpses and blood, and all the soldiers and soldiers who had left behind to guard the army were dead!

Not a single live mouth!

Whether it's a clergyman, a Templar, or an infantry regiment.

They were all lying in pools of blood, and the most important thing was that the armor and weapons of many of the warriors were confiscated!

"Quick, put out the fire!"

Alex's lieutenants roared, leading the soldiers and fighters to constantly extinguish the fire and save the army's food.

Alex took a deep breath, his expression very embarrassed: "We've been tricked!" ”

"Not bad."

Andrew nodded, his face expressionless: "These undead sent out baits to lure us to the Plains Battlefield to destroy them, and then their real main force sneaked into our garrison to sneak attack. ”

Burning up the grain and grass will inevitably be able to severely damage the army of the Lion Empire.

Without food and grass, there is no need to attack a place so far away in the north, and the soldiers have to eat, drink and Lazar along the way.

As an old field marshal, Alex knew what food and grass meant to the army.

The soldiers are not well fed and drunk, will they still help you fight? It's a big joke.

"It has to be you!"

Father William's eyes were red, he turned his head, stared at Andrew, and roared, "It must be you!" You deliberately dragged your feet from the very beginning and refused to contribute to the war! You must be in the same league as the undead! ”

"These lowly undead are nothing more than inferior creatures, who know how to sneak attack tactics! You must have taught them to do that! ”

Father William glared at Andrew.

Alex shook his head and sighed.

Look at the good deeds done by these undead spirits, and Father William is confused.

Andrew frowned, and said lightly: "Priest, you have been carried away by anger, if I am with the undead, I can turn against me on the battlefield just now, and the army of the empire will definitely collapse in an instant." ”

Alex nodded in agreement: "Yes, His Excellency Andrew is definitely not an enemy, Father William should not misunderstand him." ”

Andrew's identity is special, he is the branch dean of the Thorn Flower Magic Academy, and his status is very high, so there is no need to rebel against the water and mix with a group of undead who everyone shouts and beats.

Moreover, Andrew's relatives are still in the city of thorns, so won't he worry about his relatives being hostages if he rebels?

In any case, Andrew had no reason to collude with the enemy, and Alex never doubted him.

On the contrary, Father William has always been hostile to the people of the Academy of Magic, and he immediately pointed the finger at Andrew.

"Hmph."

Father William came to his senses, he also knew that his attitude was not correct just now, but he did not want to apologize and explain.

As soon as he saw the corpses of the temple members lying on the ground, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and old tears rolled down.

"My poor children, I will surely avenge you!"

"This group of damned undead will definitely be punished by God!"

Father William knelt beside a pool of blood, his hands clasped together, and muttered a prayer that the souls of the deceased could enter the great kingdom of light.

Andrew glanced at Father William, then turned around and asked Alex, "Marshal, what shall we do now?" Withdraw back to the City of Thorn Flowers? ”

"This ......"

Alex muttered: "Today's battle is a bit strange, obviously this group of undead has a smart enough undead summoner behind them, otherwise it would be impossible to achieve surprise attack tactics just by relying on the undead." ”

"Our greatest enemy is not the undead, but the undead summoners. From today's battle, I can guess that among the undead summoners in the north, there are definitely people who are good at war, and their war talent is not weaker than mine. ”

Alex had a serious expression and said, "The enemy we underestimated from the beginning, maybe it's due to insufficient intelligence, but no matter what, we have to pay attention to this group of guys in the north now." ”

"I see."

Andrew nodded clearly, and although Marshal Alex didn't say it explicitly, his tone revealed the idea of withdrawing his troops back to the city.

"Now most of the food of the emperor's ** team has been destroyed, even if some of it is rescued, it will not be enough for us to carry out the expedition."

Andrew continued with Alex's words: "The strength of the enemy is indeed beyond our expectations, and it is also a good decision to return to the City of Thorn Flower City to rest for the time being. ”

"Hmm."

Alex nodded, then said, "However, I do have new food supplies. ”

"And food?"

Andrew was stunned and looked at Alex in confusion: "Aren't all our food here?" ”

Alex is cautious by nature and knows the importance of grain and grass to the army, so he has the habit of carrying grain and grass with the main army, so as to ensure the safety of grain and grass.

Today, the players are turning away from the mountain, mainly because Father William repeatedly recounts that the undead in the north are too weak, which makes Alex too underestimated.

Otherwise, if it was a war with the armies of other empires, Alex would definitely make more defensive measures, and he would definitely not be attacked so easily.

"Yes."

Alex smiled and said, "I still have an army that transports food and supplies that is not here, this is my habit all along, and my army will have two groups of troops transporting grain, grass and supplies every time they go out. ”

"One follows the main forces, and the other is transported to the front alone."

"However, there is not much food and grass left, and it can only provide an army of more than 100,000 people to march to the northern border, and according to the strong strength of this group of undead today, an army of more than 100,000 people is far from enough."

Alex shook his head and sighed, "I think it is necessary to reassemble at least another army of at least half a million men to be sure of retaking the northern border." ”

"No!"

Archpriest William suddenly stood up, looked at Alex, and said with a gloomy face: "There is no need for so many people! Lord Alex, don't you wonder why this group of undead is coming to attack us? ”

"It's the undead summoners behind the undead who are afraid that we will attack the North, and they don't have enough odds to face us, which shows that their strength is far less than they appear."

"I have enough reason to suspect that this group of undead simply only has the strength and means to fight the last battle! If we work harder, we can reclaim the North! ”

Father William said categorically: "I suggest that we continue to send troops to the north!" ”

"This ......"

Alex hesitated and remained silent.

"I know what you're worried about, Your Excellency Marshal, I'm willing to be the vanguard!"

William continued to strike while the iron was hot: "You only need to give me 100,000 people!" I am willing to take these 100,000 people and the knights of the temple to attack the northern realm and test the true strength of this group of undead for the empire. ”

Alex thought very simply, it would not be in the way if he lost this battle today, go back to the city to rest for a while, gather new troops, and fight again.

As long as the end result is the successful recapture of the North, then he has only credit.

But if you listen to William's words now, instead of resting, and continue to storm the north, the morale of the soldiers will definitely be very low.

The number of the original army was depleted, the morale was not high, and the food and grass were insufficient; If the undead are as strong as they appear, then there is a good chance that all of this army will die in the North.

Alex didn't dare bet.

But William's proposal made him very tempted, and there was someone in his place to test the details of the North, which was a situation that Alex was happy to see.

He can take the army back to the city to rest, William is the vanguard, and no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it cannot affect the main army.

And this is William's initiative to ask to be the vanguard, even if something happens, the Temple of Light can't blame him.

Thinking about it left and right, Alex couldn't find a reason for his rejection of William, so he simply nodded in agreement.

"Good!"

William smiled, and Andrew could tell a hint of cruelty in his smile.

The archpriest's eyes were full of anger, he didn't want to do anything now, he just wanted to kill the north and let out a fierce breath!

In today's battle, William was too aggrieved, and he was led by the undead the whole time.

How could a dignified priest be played by a group of lowly and evil undead creatures?

William's self-esteem could not accept this result, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would make the undead in the north pay a heavy price!
