Chapter 543: September Battle Situation
In the end, the undead army, which was forced onto the cliff by the advance of the orc vanguard, was still wiped out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Grom had slain the five Death Knights and the vampires and ghosts that had rushed into his army had been cleaned up by the War Shaman and the Centaur Raiders, the undead army was left with little ability to resist.
Of course, at this time, the main force of the undead is actually still there, and there are still four thousand troops such as ghouls, zombies, and skeletons, and the orcs have not lost nothing until now, at least one or two hundred orc warriors died in the frontal battle, and at the same time, in the advance of the vampire and ghost troops, one or two hundred were also lost.
Still, the current situation is that the undead are in complete despair.
And what about the remaining four thousand troops? The Kukaron warriors are constantly wreaking havoc among the undead forces, and no one can stop them. The mammoths that rushed up didn't even need to wield their weapons, and when they stepped on them, they would be trampled flat by skeletons or zombies. The war shamans who have dealt with those vampires rush up, and it's also a bunch of deadly war machines - and they come with spell attacks.
The advantage of more than twice the strength of the army is nothing at all under the frantic squeeze of the orcs.
The final battle ended with the sixteenth-level lich leading the undead army when he was about to jump off a cliff to escape when he was twisted to pieces by a spinning axe.
Without the supreme command of the undead army, it becomes even easier to deal with. The merit of the undead troops is that they are not afraid of casualties and always have a constant morale. But because of this, they will not have the same morale as the biological troops, and they will burst out with supernumerable combat effectiveness. At the same time, since these monsters who have died and been resurrected do not have intelligence, they have become dependent on instinct in the absence of the command of the higher undead.
The undead above the fourth level may be slightly better, after all, the undead above the corpse demon still have intelligence to some extent, and when it comes to vampires and death knights, they are no different from other intelligent creatures. However, low-level cannon fodder such as ghouls, skeletons, and zombies, without command, can only rely on instinct to act, which is inferior to even beasts.
Anyway, the beasts have some intelligence, they know how to run if they can't fight, they have to jump when they encounter obstacles, and they even have certain strategies for hunting and hiding. And the lower undead, after losing their command, are surprisingly stupid.
Eventually, the undead who could still move were all hacked down the cliff by the orcs—and those who weren't were pushed down.
With such a high cliff, even if a death knight falls, it is estimated that he will have to fall to his death, and these low-level undead basically have no way to live.
Even if a very small number survives, it is impossible to continue to create evil.
The losses of the orc vanguard were actually not small, more than 600 casualties, of which one-third of the souls returned to the arms of the ancestors.
However, the results were brilliant.
The Warsong tribes of Grom have done their job of being the vanguard of the Great Army, destroying the undead army that had previously been stationed in Emhar and clearing the way for the advance of the Great Army.
And at this moment, Dane's army can finally advance towards the depths of Broken Dragon Peak without any scruples.
Leading the way for the army was Barrocliffe, the captain of the dragonman escort that the ancient dragon Ignir had given to Dane. Of course, he was a man who knew the way, and he had lived in this mountainous area for a long time.
After walking through the rugged mountain trails for several days, the conditions were relatively quiet.
At this moment, Hindlaire's army, led by Dane himself, was already approaching the depths of Broken Dragon Peak. In fact, this speed is relatively fast, although from Emhar to the Green Dragon Mountain mentioned by Barrocliffe, in fact, the straight-line distance is not very far, and even, some of the flying classes under Dane, if they fly far enough, will already start to deal with the flying classes of the undead troops, such as monsters like gargoyles. However, because it was a mountainous march, there were many cavalry in Dane's team, as well as some large guys, so the march speed could not be fast.
The cavalry marches fast on flat roads, and can charge in the mountains, in the right battlefield environment, and the power is still there, but if you travel long distances in the mountains, it is not much better than the infantry. As for the relatively large units such as cyclops and mammoth warriors, there are some places where they simply can't get by, which is a more embarrassing thing.
But in any case, I have been walking in the mountains for almost a month, and I am not far from the destination.
At present, it has come to the middle of September, and the situation in the southeast of the mainland has undergone some changes again.
The first is in Blackwood City, the capital of the Fir Lord, which is not a particularly large city, and has now become a bridgehead for the undead legions of the Church of the Damned to invade the continent. According to the news transmitted by the Black Hand Academy, more than 20,000 undead have recently emerged from the Four Fields Forest, and after a short stay in Blackwood City, they are preparing to go to the Iron Horse Grip.
This also means that not counting the undead army that was transformed by the cursed church on the spot, just the army of the undead who came out of the dark jungle has exceeded 100,000.
However, there are not many of these 100,000 undead left by now - most of them were destroyed by Hindlaire. In the direction of Broken Dragon Peak, under several wars, the 40,000 undead army of the Cursed Church in the first stage has been completely wiped out. In the battle of the past few months, the Iron Horse Grip has also eliminated one or two thousand undead.
No one can say that Hindlaire did not contribute to this war against the Church of the Damned. Compared to the other major forces involved in this war, the Holy Alliance has a total of four countries - three should be said to be three - and has not destroyed so many undead until now.
Now, the Pehin Army is in front of the Iron Horse's Grip, firmly attracting 30,000 undead. And His Majesty Dane personally led the army, preparing to go from Broken Dragon Peak to the dark jungle to copy the lair of the Cursed Church.
And the Holy Alliance? It was a bit badly beaten.
On the side of the Kingdom of Pudri, the deterioration of the war continues. The current kingdom of Pudri no longer exists, at least, after Queen Susan Bella's death and resurrection as a powerful banshee, the country has no legitimate government. The forces of the Duchy of Victoria, led by Duke Vasared and the Holy Alliance's forces led by General Wymmeer, are battling the undead.
