Chapter 456: Into the Battlefield
Taking this opportunity, Li Ran quickly learned the true strength of the undead clan. Through the convergence of the forces of various territories, the top-level troops in the city at this time are as high as hundreds, among which the vampires are the most, there are 55 counts like Ian Held, and there are several marquises, and the largest number of death knights is more than 20 people, especially one of the guys named Falcon, who turned out to be a fifteenth-order leader-level death knight, which made Li Ran deeply frown at the two thousand ghost cavalry and fear knights in the city.
In addition, in addition to these undead cavalry, among the high-level troops with a total of 7,000 people, high-level vampires account for more than half, close to 4,000 or so, and there are also 700 high-level undead witches and hundreds of advanced people in various arms.
As for the mid-level troops, there are nearly 10,000 vampires on the undead side, and there are tens of thousands of zombie troops, and the others are ghosts and undead banshees, which also look like tens of thousands. As for the low-level troops, there are naturally a lot of skeleton soldiers and skeleton archers.
On the other side, the dungeon forces, through the news of the past few days, Li Ran and the others also have a general understanding of the general situation, and as expected, the strength is much stronger than the undead clan, especially in the number of top-level troops, the other party has reached more than 200 people, including a hundred-person top-level dark elf knights, and a legion composed of hundreds of top-level minotaurs.
In terms of high-level troops, although the other side only has about 6,000 people. But in terms of overall strength, it is much stronger than the undead clan, namely the 2,000-man Dark Elf Knights and the 2,000-man Minotaur Army. and a 2,000-strong Dark Elf Twin Sword Legion. In particular, each of these three legions has a 500-strong twelve-order elite group, and its strength is even more powerful. The undead are an enemy except for 2,000 undead cavalry. Although those high-level vampires are also very strong, they are much worse in team combat in war.
Although there are many fewer low-level soldiers than the undead. But in terms of the mid-level troops, in addition to the nearly 30,000 well-trained dark elf warriors, the 5,000-strong Medusa and Evil Eye legions, there are also many fifth- and sixth-order black iron dwarf warriors who are much stronger than the undead clan.
As time passed, the tentative battle between the two sides in the capital gradually escalated, and between the ghosts of the undead and the undead cavalry in the form of small teams, they gradually surrounded the city of the dungeon forces, and the dungeon forces were not to be outdone, and the harpy and dark elf scouts also slowly infiltrated the surroundings of the undead city. Once you encounter the opposing forces far away from the city. Immediately return to the city to transfer men and horses to encircle and suppress, of course, sometimes this is also a trap deliberately set by the other party, just when he was about to encircle and suppress, he found that he was surrounded by more enemies.
In the next few days, such things were repeated all the time, probably treating Li Ran's side as an ambush. Grand Duke Renes never let Li Ran go out to encircle or trap, and even Li Ran deliberately tried to ask for war several times, but was stopped by the Marquis of Iker, which made him feel a lot more relieved.
Time entered the ninth day of Li Ran's entry into the City of the Undead. Li Ran heard that a trapped undead cavalry had been wiped out by the other party, and even the 100 high-level vampires and 200 middle-level vampires who were in ambush only ran back a dozen or so. In a fit of rage, the other marquis took 500 high-ranking vampires to take revenge and win a great victory, but on the way back, he was surrounded by the opponent's high-ranking cavalry. The two sides successively invested a lot of troops, and for a time they fought from noon to night, and then the two sides decided to withdraw their troops. The decisive battle was scheduled for the third day.
That night, Li Ran quietly went offline. Let Xia Houben and his teammates start acting according to the plan. The latter immediately went online and began to assemble the forces that had already been prepared in the surface territory. Begin your journey into the underworld.
On Li Ran's side, at noon on the third day, the day of the decisive battle between the two sides finally came, and in a huge open area, the two sides set up their positions. And Li Ran's side was secretly placed at the back of the line by Grand Duke Renes.
With the mutual accusations of the two women, the decisive battle finally kicked off, and the undead side took full advantage of the many low-level soldiers, and launched a charge forward in waves, and the skeleton archer didn't care, as long as an enemy appeared within the range of the bow and arrow, it was a burst of shooting, regardless of whether it would shoot its own kind.
And the side of the dungeon forces, obviously knowing their inferiority, will not play a game against them, a loud horn, thousands of high-level dark elf cavalry took the lead in attacking, breaking through the fragile skeleton defense, and quickly pounced on the vampire army on the left. At the same time, a thousand high-level minotaurs led tens of thousands of mid-level dark elf warriors to storm the right side of the undead army.
Seeing this, Grand Duke Renenys did not hesitate, with a wave of his right hand, the zombie and undead troops also began to attack, his zombie and walking corpse troops moved slowly, if the battle situation was led by the other party, it would be troublesome, it was better to take advantage of this to directly press on it, and overwhelm the enemy with numbers, and she also left a hand early, not only Li Ran's side, but also under the land behind the dungeon forces, she had already ambushed thousands of advanced mutant plague zombies, at this time, just waiting for her to give an order, they would infect the opponent's high-level troops with their own lives.
Just as the opponent's dark witch spell was about to run out, with the chanting of Grand Duke Rhaenys, the thousands of peculiar plague zombies finally appeared behind the opponent's army and pounced on all the targets they saw.
Apparently caught off guard, the Dungeon forces hurriedly retreated and hastily redeployed Medusa and the Evil Eye forces in an attempt to eliminate the threat with their ranged abilities. But with such a move, the undead have taken advantage of the situation to take back the initiative on the battlefield. Grand Duke Rhaenys ordered the undead cavalry to strike and kill many of the advancing Dark Elf warriors.
At this time, Li Ran deeply felt the horror of this undead knight order, the leader of the fifteenth-order death knights named Fuken, was very experienced in his use of soldiers, and the position of attacking the opponent's large group of dark elves was very good, and his aura influence was very great, and it didn't take long to eliminate thousands of dark elf warriors, and his own casualties were very few.
Finally eliminated those plague zombies, the other party's Queen Sonaya saw the situation in the field, frowned and ordered the whole line to be pressed again, and it was bound to deal with these undead warriors at once.
And in the face of the all-out attack of the dungeon forces, the vampire duchess Rhaenys was not to be outdone, and ordered a full-scale battle, and the war entered a white-hot stage, with the leaders of both sides using the middle and low-level troops as the grinding board and the high-level troops as chess, desperately consuming the opponent's vital strength, and in such attrition, the forces of both sides were rapidly killed and wounded.
At this time, Li Ran was finally sent out by Grand Duke Renens, and pounced on a group of dark elf warriors from the left side, more than a thousand high-level troops and thousands of middle-level troops joined, and quickly repelled these dark elf warriors and kept the safety of the left flank.
