Volume 9: Outbreak Chapter 31: Backstab (11)

"Looks like our human friends are in trouble!" Looking at the skyrocketing firelight in the distance, and listening to the shouts of killing coming from the night, the skeleton mage Mande calmly said to the legion leader Merry beside him. At this moment, the two of them were standing on the improvised wall, and behind them was the camp of the undead shrouded in a thick darkness.

Compared to the human side, the undead have a stronger reconnaissance power at night, and the tireless gargoyle brought the information of the civil strife that broke out in the human army early.

Although from beginning to end, Merry looked down on the human army on the other side, which can be called a ragtag army, but this does not mean that he is willing to rashly join this chaos, as a hero, he has been able to control his anger and hatred for the living well, no matter whether those humans are acting, or really encounter any trouble, he will not shake his determination. As long as his legion is firmly nailed here, the Garibel Valley will not fall into the hands of humans, and his mission will be completed! As for destroying the human army on the other side, Merry didn't think it would do him much good!

Fresh corpses are just a primitive material for him, and they may be a little attractive to the necromancer apprentices under him, but for him, I am afraid that they cannot be counted as wealth.

"There's no need to bother with all this! Unless I can be sure that the human race has been completely defeated, I will not send a single soldier! ”

At this moment, a gargoyle landed on the wall, and it can be seen that this gargoyle obviously has a high level of intelligence, and it is clear that he has been infused with a complete soul when it was made.

"Legion Commander, we've found an undead legion in the east!"

"Legion of the Dead?" Merry was a little surprised, "Mande, did the Empire say that it would send reinforcements here?" ”

"Didn't get any orders to do so! Are you sure it's a full army of the undead? ”

The second half of the sentence is clearly asking about the gargoyle.

"Yes, Lord Mande! Although no obvious high-level units have been found, the opponent still has a complete soldier allocation system. ”

"What about the flag? Diya's or Felta's? ”

There are still some differences in the legion configuration of the three major undead empires, and the Sa Anlote Empire is dominated by various types of undead constructs, so it is the easiest to distinguish. In contrast, the legions of the two undead nations of Diya and Felta are more confusing, but there is still a way to roughly tell them.

Due to the oldest history, the undead legion of the Dia Empire basically has relatively complete low, medium and high-level soldiers, and the equipment and levels of all kinds of soldiers are relatively average, even if it is a second-tier legion, there will not be much difference, at most it is a little weak in high-level troops.

And because of the shortest time since the founding of the country, the scale of the Undead Legion of the Felta Empire is relatively capable, generally consisting of a large number of middle-level troops as the main force, supplemented by low-level troops as cannon fodder and a small number of high-level troops, and the strength gap between various types of troops is large.

This is one of the reasons why the Diya Empire has always been firmly at the top of the three undead empires! For the undead, time is equal to strength, and the Dia Empire, which has the oldest and longest history, has this capital and the confidence to form a legion in this more luxurious way.

"No flags!" The gargoyle shook his head, "But we found that the other party has very complete equipment and abundant junior commanders, unlike those idiots of the Felta Empire who only rely on instinct and numbers!" ”

"Dia intervened?" The gargoyle's answer made Merry think of the oldest undead empire for the first time, "That's right, Dia's old stubborn personality who wants to take care of everything!" What about the commander of the opposing side? ”

Arrogant, conceited, and autocratic! In the eyes of the other two undead empires, Dia is such an image.

"A heroic necromancer who claims to be a servant of His Excellency Andrew, the Supreme Council, and his name is Tarsis Kemodir."

"Have you ever heard of such a name?" As a Black Knight, Merry is not very familiar with the circle of necromancers, and if the other party comes from a guy who is as good at charging as he is, he may still be a little impressed.

Mande pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "A little impressive!" It seems that he used to be some low-level lecturer in the Wizarding Society, but was stripped of this status early on for some reason. It looks like this guy has voted for the Supreme Council. ”

"So it's not Dia's people?"

"Before leaving, I heard that the werewolves submitted a request to join the chaos faction to the Supreme Council of the Undead, rather than making a request to Dia as common sense. I guess that's why His Majesty the Emperor was reluctant to send his own legion on this mission! "Compared to Merry, Mande, who is a necromancer, has more channels to get news.

Merry, who had not yet been erased by time, sneered and exhaled: "So this is our Excellency the Speaker who has declared his power!" How? Worried that we have taken the credit this time? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid what happened on the human side has something to do with this army of the undead!"

"Looks like we made bait once!" Merry couldn't help but have a hint of anger in his tone, anyone who was toyed with like a fool would feel unhappy, let alone a hero. And strictly speaking, the relationship between the Sa Anlotte Empire and the Supreme Council of the Undead is also good, which is one of the reasons why this mission was given to them.

In this case, the Speaker Andrew used them as bait to wipe out a human legion in this way, which was undoubtedly an insult to them and to the Sa Anlotte Empire in Merry's eyes.

Another gargoyle has landed on the ground, bringing new information for Merry and Mander - a greeting from Tarsis Kemodir!

"Look! Hehe! Even if we want to watch the play with peace of mind on the side! After reading the letter made from a parchment scroll in his hand, Merry angrily tore it to shreds, "This is an insult to the great Sa Anlotte Empire!" ”

Mande was also very angry, because this kind of behavior is undoubtedly saying that they can't do it, they have no ability! If it was a well-equipped and powerful elite undead army, then he would have nothing to say! But what kind of goods are these guys?

According to the gargoyle's intelligence, although the number of undead legions that suddenly appeared in the Monas Hills was comparable to them, most of them were composed of low-level troops such as skeletons and ghouls, and the mid-level troops were even less than a quarter, and as for the high-level troops, there were almost none! With such strength, even the second-tier army in the Sa Anlotte Empire can't mix, and now he dares to kick his nose in the face and snatch the merit clearly!

"Herald! All the army is attacking! I'm going to kill all the humans on the other side in front of that shit! Then make all those corpses into the lowest flesh and blood golems! Didn't they want to steal the credit? No problem, I can give him all these flesh and blood puppets and ask him to take them back to the Speaker!" Merry roared angrily, and as his order was given, the originally silent undead camp immediately began to stir.

Mande didn't stop Merry's decision, because in his opinion, whether the human unrest on the other side was a trap or not, it didn't make sense to them! The undead constructs of the Sa Anlotte Empire will not be afraid of such tricks!

Under the control of the necromancer apprentices, the undead constructs of different shapes walked out of the camp and began to line up. From the most common flesh and blood mixtures to more advanced flesh and blood golems, and even stitched corpses, metal corpse golems, modified zombies, etc., and even more, in order to deter and show the strength of the undead legion, Merry even pulled out the only three abominations of the legion, although these special undead constructs that have been transformed and enhanced by magic dozens of times have been divided into sixth-order troops, but their comprehensive strength is already close to that of seventh-order troops.

In addition, there are a large number of necromancer apprentices and gargoyles, as well as the necromancers who lead these apprentices, theoretically, these necromancers do not need to follow Merry's orders, their duty is to supervise and teach the necromancer apprentices who go with the legion, record their results, and when the battle is over, they will decide whether these necromancer apprentices can successfully graduate.

Although the whole process seemed chaotic, under the scolding of the necromancers from time to time, the apprentices still quickly arranged these undead constructs into a relatively complete combat formation, and at this point, their task was completed, and then they only needed to wait for these undead constructs to break through the enemy's defenses and create new corpses before they could take their turn to play.

Necromancer apprentices will use those fresh corpses on the spot to create new, more number of undead constructs, which will be their main assessment content, according to the strength of the undead constructs made on the spot, the utilization of raw materials, and whether it is suitable for the current battlefield situation, as the overseers of the undead wizards will give these apprentices a score, those who pass can continue to make new undead constructs, and those who fail will be turned into raw materials on the spot, which will be used to provide those with outstanding talent and strength.

Cruel, harsh, indifferent! But extremely effective! Compared with the academy-style teaching commonly used by the orderly camp, this unique "teaching" method of the Sa Anlotte Empire has cultivated countless war machines, sent a large number of high-quality soldiers to the Sa Anlotte Empire, and is also a strong guarantee that this maverick undead empire can survive to this day.

The appearance of these undead constructs dealt a fatal blow to the human legion that was on the verge of collapse, and became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Viscount Not, who was leading the remaining soldiers and relying on the defense facilities at the front of the camp, could no longer hold on, so he had to give up his intention to hold the camp and retreat to the depths of the Monas Hills with the remaining soldiers, where there were a large number of outposts set up by the kingdom to use, even if they could not stop the attack of these undead, at least they could buy time for the kingdom to warn.

As for the Monas Hills, Viscount Nott had to admit that after this war, the kingdom would probably lose control of the land, and in the future, this rich hilly area would likely become a place of werewolves and undead, threatening the security of the kingdom's borders.

It's a pity that he wasn't destined to see that day! In order to give the soldiers a chance to retreat, the commander, who was already over half a hundred years old, resolutely chose to stay and break the queen, and was finally beheaded by the sword of Kurdila.

"Therefore, it is better to accept the kindness of others, otherwise, you will look stupid!" Watching the undead constructs break through the human soldiers' defenses, Tassis smiled condescendingly at the battlefield with levitation, and beside him were the vampire Giovanni siblings. The two siblings each stretched their bat wings, watching with interest the destruction of the humans.

"Can you do it? Those fools didn't even have a construct left, and with a single charge, those fragile apprentices would fall to my sword. Giovanni Entebury couldn't wait to ask, he had been looking forward to this war for a long time!

However, Lucretia, who was next to her sister, was more patient: "Don't worry, my dear brother! Those wizard apprentices haven't consumed enough mana yet, and I don't think they're stupid enough to trust us completely! ”

"Mande, this guy is still so cautious! In the Wizarding Guild, he was one of the instructors with the fewest mistakes, but unfortunately he ended up in the arms of the undead constructor! While Mande wasn't impressed with Tassis, Tassis was impressed by his former colleague, or rather, by all those who had laughed at him, "With the magic of an apprentice, he can make at least three undead constructs, and these guys are really guarding against us!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey! It's a pity that they would never have imagined that the person they have been protecting for so many days is the one they need to be guarded against! Lucretia especially appreciates her lord's talent for intrigue, which is what attracts her the most, and in the eyes of the female vampire, Yu Bin, the undead, is more suitable to be called the "Weaver of Conspiracy" than the spider goddess Rose.

Giovanni pointed in the direction of the camp of the Undead Legion of the Sa Anlotte Empire, where a large area of fire was emerging, and under the reflection of the firelight, countless shadowy figures could be seen running back and forth: "Look, those guys have done it! ”

"It's time for us to get ready! Go according to the predetermined schedule! Your mission is to take the gargoyles and some ghouls and take out the wizard apprentices! Gather will take the skeletons to entangle the ones in charge of the guards! ”

"What about the skeleton mage named Mande?" Lucretia didn't think her brother and sister were capable of dealing with a heroic skeleton mage who had been famous for a long time.

Tassis raised the staff in his hand: "Of course it's handed over to me!" I'd love to see how far the guy who was considered a genius by the Wizarding Guild has grown now! Hopefully he won't let me down! ”
