Chapter 548: Battle Song Dilemma (2-in-1)
Since entering the Broken Dragon Peak and entering the Central Mountain Range, Dain's army has always been spearheaded by the Warsong tribe of Chief Grom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This formidable orc army has performed very well in the previous extermination of the undead army besieging Emhar. Moreover, Dane's legion itself was on the offensive, and it was not a bad thing that the vanguard army was fighting fiercely and aggressively.
This time, however, Grom was a bit of a gamer.
As he marched ahead, he spotted a small force of undead, about a thousand or so. Originally, this was nothing, but on the marching route, when getting closer and closer to Green Dragon Mountain, it was indeed easy to run into some small groups of undead troops.
He led his army in direct pursuit.
It wasn't a big deal at first, but the undead army was defeated by Grom's team smoothly.
Then Grom began to pursue.
Proper pursuit, expanding the results of the battle, this is not a big deal.
But the problem is that this time, Grom chased a little deeper.
So, the problem arises.
Now it seems that this is a tactic of the enemy to lure the enemy deep at once. After Grom led more than 5,000 orc warriors to catch up, he was met with superior forces. And when he tried to retreat, a small force of undead copied their back path from the complicated mountain pass, blocking the orc forces.
The mages who accompanied the army had sent the news back, and now, Grom's troops were in a mountain col, facing a fierce attack from demons from three directions. The enemy's momentum was fierce, and regardless of casualties, it was clear that the idea was to eliminate the Grom Division as quickly as possible.
Now to pursue Grom's pursuit, whether it is blind, reckless, or wrong, there is no longer any point, the key is what to do next.
Salvation is definitely to be saved.
Dane asked, "Which team is closest to Grom's besieged troops right now?" ”
Verina quickly replied, "It's another part of the Warsong Tribe's army, and all three wings are nearby. In addition, there was the team of Colonel Pearl of the Komyrya Regiment nearby, as well as the Drow United. ”
Dane thought about it and said, "Let Pearl take that Drow United to open the siege of the undead as soon as possible and take over Grom's troops." At the same time, have the rest of the Warsong Legion block the area around the col to prevent the undead from having a larger ambush circle. ”
"In addition, let the three wings of the Fifth Army on the left flank press forward and press to the southwest of the col for control, and let the 20th, 21st, and 22nd wings of the White Wolf Legion on the left flank go to the northeast of the col to set up defenses, and I will ensure that the army will not encounter the enemy from both flanks on the way."
"The air force has canceled all recuperation and entered combat readiness, conducting flight reconnaissance with the maximum number of rounds, and it is important to try to figure out the movement of the undead in the vicinity. If you run into the enemy's air force, don't spare it and destroy them all! ”
"Give the order to the whole army, accelerate the advance! I feel that the big war will break out completely without waiting for us to reach Green Dragon Mountain. ”
The war broke out completely, and this matter was always a premonition of Dane, and there was no tangible evidence. However, he felt that his premonition was not unfounded.
Obviously, he could not abandon Grom's army besieged in that col. Five thousand elite orc warriors, plus a legendary-level orc chieftain, this is something he can't give up no matter what.
As for the undead, they finally seized such a good opportunity, and naturally they were unwilling to give up.
Of course, it is still unknown what strategic choices the undead will make after being pressured by the human army. However, as the commander of the army, Dane certainly had to prepare for the worst.
The worst-case scenario is that the siege of the Grom Department will be the trigger for the final battle.
To do this, he must be ready to fight a decisive battle.
In fact, Dane is now in contact with the Green Dragon of Green Dragon Mountain.
Some time ago, an adult green dragon of level sixteen broke out of the encirclement, was seriously injured, and came to Dane's army.
When he was treated by the priests with divine spells, Dane immediately met with him and learned from him about the current battle in Green Dragon Mountain.
Two years ago, the Green Dragons had been fighting the monsters of the Dark Jungle.
At first, they sensed the deterioration of Nancy's court, and Igniel had personally gone to the royal city to warn the Nancy elven king. But in the end, they still couldn't stop the spread of the undead.
Later, after the entire dark jungle collapsed, the green dragons, who had been hiding from the world for many years, finally couldn't sit still.
Two or three years ago, Ignir had let his eldest son, Kapunos, who had reached the legendary level, personally lead the army of the Green Dragons into the Dark Jungle. That time, the seven-headed true dragon and the three thousand dragons set out together, hoping to solve the troubles in the dark jungle.
But in the end, Capnos failed. Of the six true dragons, including him, only two escaped, and the Green Dragon army was all defeated, with only a few hundred people returning.
Ignir realized the seriousness of the problem, and he wasted no time and soon began to prepare for a second attack on the Dark Jungle.
It's just that, before that, the undead fought out.
The green dragons fought the undead on the border of the Broken Dragon Peak near the dark jungle. The undead army that the green dragons faced at the same time had reached 150,000 at the most!
Hearing this number, Dane couldn't help but feel a little chilled.
If you do the math, where the undead natural disasters have broken out in various parts of the mainland, you can get a very terrifying number by counting the strength of the undead army.
From Blackwood City, there were 30,000 undead at the beginning, and then 20,000 came out to the territory of the Pudri Kingdom, and recently another 20,000 appeared, which is 70,000.
On the side of Broken Dragon Peak, there were 40,000 undead troops that attacked Emhar at the beginning. And according to the Green Dragon, the undead army they faced was 150,000 when they were drunk.
All of this adds up, not counting the army that the Church of the Curse temporarily transformed after invading the human world, just coming out of the dark jungle, there are already as many as 260,000!
According to the latest news, the undead army in the west, after the capture of the Silver and White Capital, the current military strength has also expanded to 150,000. These 150,000 undead are basically transformed from killed humans.
In this way, the total number of troops that the Church of the Curse can control from the beginning of the war to the present is actually 400,000!
An army of 400,000 undead, what a terrible number?
No wonder, starting from the fir collar, all the way to the Silver and White Capital, and now to the territory of the Holy Empire, this group of undead is so overwhelming. Their military strength is indeed a bit too strong.
Dane must also be glad that in the eastern part of his kingdom, there is such a magical mountain area as Broken Dragon Peak, and there is the ancient dragon Igniel. Without this group of green dragons blocking here, if the 150,000 undead army at its peak surged out of the Broken Dragon Peak, the Hindlaire Kingdom, which was suddenly attacked by such a huge undead army, would not know what would have become.
The Green Dragons have fought very hard against the army of the undead in the past few years.
Ignil made a lot of preparations for this war. However, in the end, these preparations were not able to deal with the demon's attack.
The green dragons who have been besieged have reduced the number of undead in front of them to only 90,000 by now, which is still the record played when there is a demigod lich and a legendary death knight on the opposite side.
However, at the cost of achieving such results, even the green dragons also suffered heavy casualties.
A few years ago, there were still more than twenty true dragons on Green Dragon Mountain, and eight or nine thousand dragon people existed. And up to now, the number of the Green Dragon Army is only more than 2,000 and less than 3,000, and the True Dragon has lost two-thirds, and only seven True Dragons are still active on the battlefield.
It is conceivable that if it weren't for Dane's brought, the green dragons might have been wiped out.
However, in recent times, the green dragons have had a better time.
As Dane's army continued to approach, the Church of the Damned clearly felt threatened. Their suppression of the Green Dragon Legion is no longer as pressing as before. Judging from the green dragons' own observations, a large number of undead are being mobilized, and it is estimated that there must be some major military action.
After saying goodbye to the green dragon, Dane's heart became even heavier.
The information that the green dragon brought was basically consistent with the situation his army was facing now. The intensity of the fighting on the side of Green Dragon Mountain has decreased, and the undead have withdrawn some of their troops for other purposes, while on their own side, Grom's army has just been ambushed.
In this way, it is obvious where those troops who have evacuated from Green Dragon Mountain have gone.
The undead who are still besieging Green Dragon Mountain should have one or two thousand, and the demigod lich must not be able to move. Otherwise, Ignir will rush out.
Then, the other army of more than 70,000 undead is the next opponent he will face. And their commander should be the legendary death knight named Seffield.
An realization rose in Dane's heart: it was possible that Seffield would personally go down and attack Grom directly! Orc chieftain, I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous.
……
Bloody Battle Col, War Song Tribe is in Bloody Col.
The name was given by Grom. In the last few days, in this small mountain pass, the warriors of his clan have stained this place with blood.
When he was led into this col, there was a strong enemy in front of him, and the back road was blocked by the undead, no matter how reckless Grom was, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
At first, he wasn't too worried. He went into battle himself, leading an elite Kukaron army, and attempted to launch a powerful assault from the south side of the col, where the small group of undead had been stationed on his back path.
At that time, he faced no more than two thousand enemy troops. And as far as the Kukaron warriors he brought with him were more than a thousand, not to mention, behind him, there were also a large number of centaur raiders to assist.
However, his assault failed.
Those two thousand undead had more combat power than he could have imagined.
This is clearly an elite unit of an army of the undead. Standing in the way of Warsong Chief and his Kukaron troops, the lowest-level undead are also of the level of the Black Knight, and not even a single ghoul exists, let alone low-level skeletons and zombies.
These Black Warriors are no longer easy characters to deal with. In one-on-one combat, the Kukaron warriors were able to gain some advantages, and sometimes they were able to kill an opponent with a single axe. However, the armor on their bodies, as well as the martial arts they inherited from their lifetimes, did make the orc elites suffer a little.
In addition to the Black Warriors, in the enemy's array, there are also some elite undead who have not appeared on the battlefield in the past - flesh and blood puppets.
Grom had chosen the name himself, but he felt he hadn't been wrong.
These flesh golems are disgusting. Aside from the fact that the head still looks like a head, there is hardly a creature in the whole body. It lived like a movable stitched corpse made up of various decaying corpses. Large, only one size smaller than a mammoth warrior, it had several twisted limbs from among the sarcomas, wielding heavy weapons such as barbs and bone crusher knives.
The flesh puppet is very strong, so strong that even the Kukaron warriors can hardly catch a heavy blow from it even if they try their best. Even against the mammoth warriors, it was only slightly inferior by three points.
There are quite a few such flesh and blood golems, hundreds of them!
Coupled with the raid of a certain number of vampires, that assault Kukaron forces fell into a bitter battle.
And Grom himself is also entangled by a vampire lord.
The vampire lord's combat power should have the appearance of a sixteenth-level peak, and it is only one step away from the legend. The elusive figure gave Grom a sense of strength and uselessness. But if that's all it takes, with the strength of the legendary level, he won't be unable to deal with the other party. However, if there is a dark archmage and a great lich behind this vampire lord, then things will become difficult.
Three undead creatures standing at the peak of level sixteen blocked the legendary chief Grom.
With a throwing axe, Grom killed the dark archmage, but he lost his weapon and was wounded. In the end, his Kukaron troops were not able to break through, and were defeated by the Black Warriors and Flesh Golems, supported by a group of corpses, and suffered heavy losses.
And before he could organize a second breakout, the enemy increased his troops!
