"Chapter 399: Disaster Begins Within"

More and more tribal troops stormed the city, and the inner city troops of the kingdom were also heavily mobilized. Previously, their mission was to retake the outer walls, but now they were to plug the breaches and prevent the tidal forces from rushing in.

The power of the electromagnetic cannon just now shocked everyone, but it didn't take much of a toll on the morale of the kingdom. The soldiers in the city are now elite and have a high will to fight, and the officers are constantly repeating to the soldiers the notion that this powerful weapon or magic will not be able to be used a second time in a short time. They were right, the cannon quickly went out, and the fear and inner wavering of the soldiers of the kingdom quickly stopped and returned to its original state. In the case of the destruction of the city and the death of a large number of innocent civilians, the anger in the hearts of these soldiers was ignited, and the combat effectiveness was further improved.

Fang Zi and I were both very nervous, so we had a meal, chatted, took a walk, and after fighting the goblins, we immediately threw ourselves into the task of monitoring the battle situation. And in these few hours, our troops also paid considerable casualties. The kingdom sent more than a hundred troops with equipment similar to that of the Griffin Empire's expeditionary force, and their strength reached that of quasi-high-level warriors and high-level warriors, and with twenty formal magicians who were probably serving noble families, plastic surgery was very luxurious among the kingdom's troops. This force caused us a lot of trouble, and even held off our rare warriors in small groups, causing us to lose more than 5,000 soldiers.

Watching the skeleton troops surging up like a tide, being wiped out in pieces under the opponent's firepower, and even the two skeleton guards were broken to pieces by the opponent's elite when they were commanding, my heart couldn't help but tremble. That's my soldier, a soldier heaped out of gold coins, a soldier saved up by that stinky face when he looked at Old Man Mane's smile! If we continue to lose like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to replenish it, after all, there are so many gold coins plundered, and we have to spend a lot of gold coins on construction.

I need a plan to resolve the battle as soon as possible, and the battle for such a street by street is a big problem for the replenishment of our troops, as well as for logistics. Coupled with the fact that the war in the north is still undecided, no one knows if the kingdom's northward troops will suddenly turn back, let alone whether the kingdom will sign some humiliating agreement with the griffon empire to deal with us in order to maintain its rule. If that happens, I'm afraid that more than a year of our efforts will be in vain.

I have a legendary card in my hand right now, and Mantas has suffered a lot of casualties in the last few days of attacking, and I think it will work well if I use it now. Although this is a bit bad for the dead soldiers and civilians of Mantas, I am afraid that it will not be good for the reputation, and it will have a great negative effect on our occupation and rule, I have been hesitating for the past few days, but now I don't want to think about it so much, if I feel guilty, I will wait until the end of the war to think about it, and it is meaningless to continue to hesitate to reduce our casualties.

.......

"These damn hillbillies and exotic monsters!"

On the inner walls of Mantas, a captain of the kingdom watched the rising smoke from the outer city and the glow of magic blooming, his hands clenched the hilt of his sword, and his forehead was bruised. He certainly had a reason to be angry, as a native of Mantas, his family lived in the city. And in the previous electromagnetic cannon bombardment, the location of his house was also covered by the fire of the electromagnetic cannon, and his wife and children had not had time to transfer out...

"We're going to drive them back, no! Not only do we rush back, but we want to make these bastards disappear from the world completely! ”

His mouth kept repeating similar words, and his chest kept heaving.

Next to him, the expressions of the other kingdom guard officers were very uniform and extremely serious. They heard their colleague's words to themselves, and they knew their friend's misfortune, but they couldn't comfort him, because the tide of battle was so bad for them that they couldn't figure out how to fight each other back, or even destroy them.

They were ordered to guard the inner city, guarding the palaces and castle complexes in the rear, so they could only watch the fighting in the streets a few kilometers away, but they could not intervene. This feeling is worse than being surrounded by enemies.

"At least we can stop them over there."

The commander, dressed in ornate armor, comforted himself in his heart and instilled in his subordinates these words of morale stability, so that they would maintain the courage and conviction to fight.

But just as he was about to rest under the walls and drink a little wine to refresh himself, a strange phenomenon caught his attention.

In the streets far from the area of engagement, a number of skeleton soldiers in mutilated Subic armor suddenly appeared, as well as some skeleton cannon fodder with only those rudimentary armaments. At first, he thought that those skeleton soldiers had accidentally crossed through the defense zone, after all, there were tens of thousands of skeletons on the other side, and not every street had enough soldiers to defend it, and it was not difficult to imagine a few skeletons passing through the defense zone.

But he soon sensed that something was wrong, because there were too many skeletons, and they were all rushing towards the fighting troops in the outer city, as if they were flanking from front to back. And when he spotted some skeletal warriors crawling straight out of the ground and wearing the armor of the Subic army through his gaze, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Necromancy!"

He gritted his teeth and pronounced the word, leaving a line of cold sweat on his face. He immediately ran to the generals' house and gave orders to his troops to destroy the skeletons no matter what, before they could reach the battlefield outside the city.

The powerhouses of the kingdom also felt a strange aura enveloping the whole city, and they ventured into the sky, and were shocked to find that a purple ** magic circle half the size of Mantas City appeared below, and in various areas of this magic array, there were many white dots gushing out from the ground.

For this kind of crisis that appeared directly from the rear, the kingdom did not make relevant preparations, and in the face of the sudden appearance of skeleton troops, the defenders of the kingdom fell into chaos for a while. And those Kingdom soldiers who rushed out of the defense area directly to try to wipe out these skeleton soldiers also found that maybe the opponent's equipment looked very bad, but as soon as the opponent entered the combat state, the broken armor on his body would be transformed into a unified chain mail and bone plate armor in the blue light, and the weapons in his hands were also replaced with swords and hand axes. And those skeletal "miscellaneous soldiers" without armor will also quickly merge and merge into a strong warrior with a two-handed warhammer in his hand, and his strength exceeds that of high-level warriors. In the face of these tough skeleton warriors, these kingdom soldiers who rushed forward would soon be chopped into pulp by a group of skeleton warriors.

These skeletal troops, which emerged from the underground, soon captured a large number of street posts and even launched an attack on the kingdom's forces. The originally solid defense line was torn open several times in the blink of an eye. The defenders of Mantas from the outside could hold out on to the walls and street fighting, but how long could they resist in the face of the enemy's two-way attack?
