(99) Did you know? Don't talk nonsense.

The Alliance forces launched an all-out offensive against the Scourge of the Dead, and although there were no miracles of the Great Light in the war, the soldiers of the Alliance Army still believed that the Great Light would protect them in the most dangerous times, so their morale was very high.

Although he was always reminding everyone to beware of the enemy's intrigues and fight cautiously, Belisarius still launched a series of bold attacks after the army entered the territory of Udorfinger, he attacked the undead army in the border area with a cavalry team, and after roughly testing the enemy's location and size, he immediately mobilized all his forces to defeat the undead army that had made the neighbors uneasy in one fell swoop, and cleared several safe areas in the enemy-occupied area that could be settled as a fulcrum for launching a larger battle.

The combat effectiveness of the army smashed out of Dio's gold is extraordinary, this undead Plague occupation legion of more than 20,000 people has only caused them more than 1,000 casualties, many of which can quickly regain their combat effectiveness under the treatment of the spring and the mythical priest of the dawn, and the soldiers who were disabled and killed on the spot are only more than 400 people, these reports make the joining lords smile.

There are many reasons for this one-sided situation, the stupid command system of the Scourge is the biggest reason, when the infantry of the alliance is pressed in front of these monsters in a phalanx, the necromancers in charge of the command do not even know where the army under their command is - the skeletons of the Scourge and the zombies are almost the same, it is really difficult to distinguish.

And the most pitiful part is that although the necromancer does not know the location of his army, under the effect of the functional building system, every Scourge soldier can recognize the orders of his commander, and they will be very loyal to carry out these orders if they lack the ability to think, no matter how inconsistent the order is, which has caused a devastating impact on the battle situation.

A high-ranking necromancer thought his army was still in the rear, so he ordered his army to move forward, but his troops were on the flanks of the entire undead legion, and this order caused the overall front of the Scourge to be disjointed, which had a considerable advantage.

The inconsistent and chaotic orders caused a large number of undead troops to be annihilated in the move, and the fierce offensive of the Frankish Kingdom in the early stage was because of the temporary change made after seeing the poor command system of the undead legion, the commander of the Marmont Legion specifically mentioned this situation to Belisarius, but if he hadn't actually seen this scene on the battlefield, Belisarius would not have believed that the other party's command system was so chaotic, and they didn't even think about how to make up for it after suffering losses.

The wizards and followers of the Cult of the Damned are very arrogant and conceited, they think they have power that is beyond the reach of mortals, and each one of them thinks of themselves as the Messiah who will usher in a new century, although the army of the Frankish kingdom has taught these fools how to behave in previous battles, but the final defeat of the Franks makes them feel that they are the strongest military strategists in the world.

With the exception of a few advanced classes, most undead monsters lack or even no ability to think, and you can't expect them to cooperate in the same rigorous and orderly manner as human armies, and without orders, these monsters will only follow the instinct of killing the living.

But the indiscriminate orders given by the laymen who felt that they had advanced command skills had cut down these armies that could carry out orders perfectly and were not afraid of death like wheat, and if they were not the undead, they would have collapsed long ago.

Perhaps someone finally realized what they were doing, or perhaps someone finally knew where their troops were, and the army of the undead finally stopped their meaningless Brownian motion in the final stages of the battle and began to charge intensively in one direction.

But this change was made too late, the alliance army had already completed the division of the enemy's forces, and all that remained was to slowly eat away the undead who could not be twisted together, which was a great victory for which people were completely unprepared.

The victory was almost unfulfilled for the unrepentant stupidity of the other side, but the crushing defeat of the Franks raised their vigilance, and Belissa ordered all the Alliance forces to stop their offensive and rest in place.

Only by destroying the necromancer can it be called a truly exterminated army of the undead scourge, which is the experience of the Franks.

The undead army can quickly organize cannon fodder troops through a large number of corpses prepared before the battle, the correct way to use these skeleton zombies is to charge and charge until the enemy army is drowned, and the continuous summoning of the necromancers can also supplement the cannon fodder on the battlefield, in the face of these nasty guys, the Franks called catapults, and the big tyrant Dior directly bombarded them with his hands.

The attack of the Frankish kingdom was not a lack of damage to the undead Scourge, in fact, their results were very helpful to the Alliance Legion, the heroic Franks killed and injured a large number of the two backbone units of the undead Scourge army, and the decline in the proportion of ghouls and abominations in the undead army directly reduced the average IQ of this army, and also made their front very fragile.

At the end of the previous battle, Belisarius personally led the cavalry troops to tear through the opponent's last line of defense, and wiped out the undead Scourge spellcaster troops and the cult of the Damned Cult followers who were planning to escape, drawing a perfect end to the first battle.

The elite of these undead monsters first ran out of magic in the previous battle, then were inhumanely bombarded by the opposing hand-pushed cannons with siege guns, and finally trampled back and forth by the mixed cavalry group, and finally only about 200 captives were left alive.

Undead monsters such as skeleton soldiers, skeleton mages, zombies, ghouls, and abominations cannot be captured, and there is no point in capturing these walking dead, but necromancers are different from cultists of the Cursed God, they are still alive in a sense.

These guys have some inside information about the undead scourge and are not very strong-willed, and the truly fanatical cultists of the Cult of the Damned will choose to fight to the death at the end of the battle, and the rest of these guys are cowardly wallgrasses and traitors.

The highest-ranking captives were a master necromancer with the authority to command 4,000 Scourge soldiers, and before this guy was brought in, many people thought that the necromancers were a bunch of fanatical humanoid monsters with distorted faces, but when the two guards escorted in a man with a thin torso and an overindulgent puffy face, the lords were amazed.

No matter how you look at this guy, he is the son of a noble family, and he is useless and useless, completely different from the monster everyone imagines.

In fact, there is nothing surprising about this, the rapid expansion strategy of the Cult of the Cursed God has mixed a large number of impurities into the base of the necromancer, after all, there is no way for corpses to train necromancers, and those believers who join the Cult of the Cursed God may not be fanatical believers.

Although the undead function building can bewitch and brainwash the user, if you run into the kind of guy who has no faith at all, this kind of brainwashing is just to make them have some nasty noises in their ears when they do whatever they want, which is completely useless.

"Now, you have to answer my question honestly, or you'll die...... Do you understand? The guy below? โ€

Belisarius said in a threatening tone, and the surrounding lords were also very cooperative in casting a murderous gaze at the prisoner, making the necromancer, who had no courage in the first place, suddenly feel that he had become a piece of fat that was looked at by the wolves.

"Know...... I know! I'll tell you everything I know, please let me go, I'm ...... too"

"I'm not at all interested in what your situation is, now tell me, who is the guy who defeated the army of the Frankish Kingdom?"

Belisarius was not in the mood to see the prisoner begging for mercy, and he went straight to the point and asked what he wanted to know most about now.

After fighting the Cult of the Damned, Belisarius didn't think that this group of wastes was capable of dealing with the Franks who dominated the continent, and the commander who led the undead Scourge army to launch that raid was someone else, and Belisarius wanted to know who his real opponent was.

"That'...... That man was a Death Knight, but almost no one knew his name, because he was so lucky to write a long poem, so now everyone calls him the Death Lord, and he is nominally the monarch of all the Death Knights, but in reality he is not. โ€

The Death Knight is a hero-level undead unit resurrected by the Scourge of the Undead through a special functional building 'Dark Altar', and the cost is amazing, because only the dead with great potential or strong obsession can be resurrected to become a Death Knight, and this person must be a strong person before he is born, if he is a knight and a nobleman, then the probability of resurrection will be higher, often thousands of corpses can not give birth to a Death Knight, their strength can not be measured by common sense, but they have not appeared on the battlefield in large numbers.

Ice Hunter once killed a Death Knight, and he thought it would be easy to deal with them, and Red Fur even stripped him of his armor and snatched his weapon, but for the average warrior, the Death Knight was a very, very terrible opponent.

As a heroic unit of the Undead Scourge, the Death Knight has four special abilities, which can kill living beings but can heal the undead's 'Death Entanglement', but by killing the surrounding undead to restore the normal price of the 'Death Contract', the 'Evil Aura' that can greatly increase the combat power of the surrounding undead, and the 'Manipulating Dead' that can resurrect a group of monsters that can't be killed at all.

Lower-level Death Knights can only master the first three abilities, while high-level Death Knights may have the fourth ability, which is the most valuable on the battlefield.

Although you are the hero unit of the undead clan, the status of the Death Knights is much lower than that of another hero unit, the Lich, in the eyes of the Cult of the Damned, the status of the Death Knight is just a little higher than that of the Abomination, the Lich is the best of the selected undead wizards, and the success rate is much higher than that of the Death Knight, and they were all members of the Cult of the Cursed God before.

However, the birth of the Death Knight has nothing to do with the Cult of the Damned, so they have always been a suppressed and discriminated group.

The Death Knights' military power was severely limited, and they were able to mobilize only a handful of ghouls and abominations, and necromancers and banshees would not listen to their orders, even acolytes and lowly followers of the Cult of the Damned.

If it weren't for the fierce attack of the Frankish Legion and the useless commander of the Cult of the Damned, the upper echelons of the Cult of the Cursed would not have given the command of the elite air unit to the Death Knights, knowing that the production of Gargoyles and Obsidian Destroyers requires not only enough corpses, but also statues carved by stonemasons as materials, and the two things plus gold and wood are put into functional buildings, so as to produce flying units that are regarded as trump cards by the Scourge of the Dead.

The Cult of the Damned captured many living slaves and forced them to dig up stone and carve statues, but the production of statues was still quite tragic.

Now the Death Knights have split into two factions, the Death Knights of the pro-Cursed God faction formed the Plague Knights, the Grand Master of this Knighthood is another powerful Death Knight 'Hell Lord' Abaddon, and the group of Death Knights who defeated the Frankish Kingdom before formed another knight group 'Dawn Guard' under the leadership of the 'Death Lord'.

This outrageous name made them even more disgusted by the Cult of the Damned, but since they were reluctant to give up the hundreds of Death Knights, they placed them near their lair as the guards of the Scourge Legion, which was also a kind of surveillance.

There are already a lot of villains who have rebelled against the Cult of the Damned God after gaining power, and although these guys can't stand on the side of humans, the impact is very bad, and the Death Knights are more loyal and reliable in comparison.

The captured necromancer knew a lot of things, and spat out a lot of valuable information like pouring beans.

However, Belisarius was not happy with this, because this guy only knew that the Cult of the Damned had a mysterious headquarters, but he did not know where it was.

Udolfinger City is just a front to attract firepower, although it is the largest soldier manufacturing site of the undead natural disaster, but there is such a thing as a functional building, as long as the resource reserves are sufficient, it doesn't matter how much is destroyed, the corpses of the victims in the city or something...... If they spread one more plague, they'll be able to get enough corpses!

"Okay. Let me ask you one last question...... If the answer is good, I'll let you live. โ€

Belisarius walked up to the captive and spoke to him in a gentle tone.

"Where is your flying unit now? What exactly is the number and scale? โ€

The question asked by the young Byzantine general was simply not something that this character, who was on the periphery of the Cult of the Damned, had never thought of keeping this guy alive in the first place.

Sure enough, the necromancer's face turned green when he heard Belisarius.

"I ...... I don't know...... I know! I know! They are now placed to defend near the headquarters, and a very important study is being carried out within the Cult recently, and they have raised the level of defense for this. โ€

The necromancer knew that if he didn't tell the word that would satisfy the grown, he would be executed.

"An important study? What kind of research are you doing? โ€

To defeat the enemy, it is necessary to know the enemy, and Belisarius is now curious to know any movement of the undead scourge.

"They're working on ......"

The necromancer hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke under the threatening gaze of Belisarius.

"They are studying your great light!"

Then the guy was stabbed to death, and it was Belisarius, who had just been mild-mannered.

"Humph! Do you still want to live after committing such blasphemous acts? โ€

The Byzantine general retracted the sword from its sheath and returned to his seat.

Dior sat motionless on the side, a cold sweat broke out behind his back, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

Even if Belisarius didn't make a move just now, Dio would have drawn his sword and cut this mouthy guy, and the secret he wanted to hide was almost exposed by this person, and he couldn't even think about the consequences of exposure......

"Ladies and gentlemen! We now have good news...... Our most dangerous enemy is no longer in Urdolphin City, and the Undead Scourge has reclaimed its elite forces to protect its headquarters, so now is the best time to reduce their base forces and liberate the lost territory, what do you think? โ€

Belisarius didn't pay attention to the mysterious study of this group of madmen, and he didn't even feel that the man's words were credible.

Want to study the Great Light? Are they crazy or stupid? The Great Light can only destroy the undead, not harm humanity.

Belisarius is now a high-ranking priest of the Cult of Dawn Mythology, and he is now a true believer in the Great Light, and his reasons for converting are quite realistic.

If a deity can really do that for his followers, what excuse can I find not to believe in her?' โ€™

Belisarius had dedicated his loyalty to the Byzantine Empire, to his own emperor, and now to the Great Light, believing that loyalty and faith would make him stronger and stronger against enemies he had never seen before.

The Alliance's army rested for five days, and then went on the offensive again, this time with a very rough approach, with tens of thousands of troops fighting wherever they went, without any dispersion.

This chaotic fist has thrown the Scourge into chaos in an area that has not been occupied for a long time.

The purpose of the tactic is to make it difficult for the opponent to judge our purpose while waiting for the opportunity to kill the opponent with one blow. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” thanks to Xiaoyou-chan for the reward, and then thank Diqing for the invincible recommendation vote~
