…………

As night fell, tens of thousands of undead finally poured over like a tide and marched to the city. Follow? Dream?. lā

In the night, no one could see how many undead there were, only a dense patch. Looking at the frost dragon and the blackened gargoyle hovering high in the distance in the distance, the people of Riptide Castle turned pale, and one by one regretted why they didn't leave earlier.

In this case, of course, Jiang Zai and Fenna couldn't talk to me, and quickly walked out of the palace and rode their horses to the gatehouse, and the others had been waiting for a long time.

No one expected that without notice, the "Ash Messenger" Fenna, Liadrin, and ** Master Angela actually heard the news of the danger of Riptide Castle, and then directly teleported to the Tower of Alatho.

Fortunately, the Tower of Arathas is the first mage tower in the human world, which was built by high elf mages and human mages together 2800 years ago.

Otherwise, if you teleport somewhere else and come back again, it may be too late.

But even if they come, what can they do?

It's just a drop in the bucket, and it can't change the situation. That's why Jiang Zai didn't ask Fenna for help:

The enemy he faced was too strong, and he didn't want Fenna to come and take the risk.

As for bringing the Ash Army over?

That's even worse, because the Ash Army has been busy dealing with the undead scattered in the Eastern Plague Lands, busy purifying the plague, and just trying to gather them together can't be done in three or five days, and they can't be brought at all.

The faces of several leaders were not very good, because in the army of the undead, they saw a new class:

Giant abominations that are six or seven meters tall, scourge giants that are slightly smaller, and some flesh creatures that look a little like dragons!

Giant Abomination, undoubtedly a new breed researched by the Cursed Sect, is presumably made of dead Wiku.

The Veku people are the ancestors of mankind, the first creations of the Forge of Will, like the earth spirits, with an average height of about four meters, of course, there are some taller, and the combat power is very strong, and they are the most powerful of the first batch of creations, and they can confront the doomsday guards and demon guards head-on.

The Veku were degraded by the Flesh Curse and became human.

But there are also some Viku people, in order to get rid of the influence of the flesh curse, fell into an eternal sleep, this part of the Viku people are basically in Northrend, the North Pole, I didn't expect to have been awakened by Arthas, and under his command!

Those Scourge giants that are slightly smaller and about four meters in size are actually the undead Veku people "Ymia" who were transformed into the undead Viku people by the high-ranking generals of the Scourge Legion in a special way.

Their sheer size naturally gives them great strength and attack power, and these guys are natural siege machines, and if they rush up, even if the tall and sturdy walls can stop them, the wooden walls will definitely not be able to stop them.

Not only that, but they also maintain the same intelligence as the other Wikus, far more cunning, more ferocious, and more difficult to deal with than the Giant Abomination.

And that's not all.

Those monsters that look like dragons are the most terrifying.

They are the "Ancestral Dragons", the ancient dragons, belonging to the category of the Ancient Dragons, the Ancient Dragons that have not received the power of the Titans to give their guardians, have no magical physique, do not belong to the category of intelligent creatures, do not have the long necks of the distant relatives of the guardians, the tail is relatively short, but the proportion of the head is larger, and the giant mouth with strong jaws accounts for more than 40% of the head.

Their wings are very powerful, with wings spread out to twice their length, but their front legs are almost completely degenerate, and their hind legs are thick, allowing them to fly more nimble than guardian dragons.

The ancient Ancestral Dragons have been reduced to dragon beasts, and some of them have been enslaved by the most powerful Viku clan, the Dragon Raiders, and turned into mounts for Dragon Raiders.

Those who crawl in the army of the undead are the Ancestral Dragons, and the ones riding them are the Dragon Raiders from the Utgard Fortress in the Howling Fjord!

There were not many of them, less than twenty Ancestral Dragons in total, but they were already a very formidable force, because even the Frost Dragons were not necessarily their opponents in a one-on-one confrontation.

The appearance of these reinforcements made the already dangerous Riptide Fort even worse.

The only thing Jiang Zai was fortunate for was that he didn't find a single cave-dwelling demon, let alone an obsidian destroyer.

According to the news from the Patriarch of Alex, Anubarak betrayed Arthas, took refuge with the ancient god Yogsaron, and joined forces with the herald Voraz to occupy the underground area of Northrend.

Anubaraq is the king of cave-dwelling demons, and naturally cave-dwelling demons do not serve Arthas. And without the Crypt Lord and the Spider Demon Empire, there is no way to get a way to create an obsidian destroyer, and the current Arthas is at least much easier to deal with than the Lich King Arthas who awakened in a few years in Jiang Zheng's impression.

In the depths of the night, Kel'thugad had already given the order to attack, and the few remaining frost dragons and gargoyles flew towards Riptide Castle, and the warriors of the Dragon Raider Clan also rode the Ancestral Dragon into the sky and flew over in the night.

"Great Lord, don't let those guys into the city! Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die! Jiang Zai said coldly.

"Don't worry, Nicholas, the Hammer Griffon Knight is a dragon killer, capable of taking out red dragons and frost dragons, as well as these brainless beasts! I don't know how many brothers will die this time, the corpse of a Void Phantom Dragon you gave is not enough, these Ancestral Dragons are ours after the war! ”

At the sound of Furstad's order, three hundred Hammerhammer Griffin Knights flew into the sky.

The sky belongs to them!

On the ground, tens of thousands of undead launched an attack, rushing to the forefront is the terrible catastrophe giant and the undead Viku "Ymia", they are holding four or five meters high city-breaking giant sticks in their hands, looking at this posture, I am afraid that it will not take a few sticks to break through the city gate, and even the city wall may not be able to block it!

Some of them carried huge stones weighing hundreds of kilograms on their backs, and it seemed that they were going to hit the city wall directly, relying on the huge impact force to break through the city wall.

"Catapult, prepare!"

Jiang Zheng gave an order, and Blank Blackheart and the other earth spirits got large stones one after another onto the catapult.

Fort Riptide has a very general relationship with Ironforge and Nomorigen, with no muskets or cannons, only these primitive catapults, and they are dilapidated.

When the earth spirits arrived, Jiang Zai immediately ordered them to repair the catapults and build more catapults while building the city walls.

The power of the earth spirit alone was not enough, and Jiang Zheng had to mobilize more than three thousand people of Torrent Castle. The Arashi people are straightforward and strong, and many of those who are still in the city plan to live and die with the city, and when they heard Jiang Zheng's call, they immediately took action, cutting down trees and carrying stones.

In less than a week, hundreds of catapults were made, which were the most powerful fortifications of Fort Riptide.

The army of the undead rushed over.

Riptide Fort is surrounded by mountains and sea, and only one-third of it is plain. Thanks to this terrain, otherwise the pressure to defend the city would have been greater.

"Launch!" Jiang Zai ordered again.

Sou!

Whoosh!

Huge rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms, or even two or three hundred kilograms, were projected out, and any undead who were smashed would definitely die, whether it was a natural calamity giant or an undead Viku, it was impossible to stop it.

The ground is very hard, but when the boulder lands, it can smash out a huge crater two or three meters deep, and the impact force is far more terrifying than the storm hammer of the Brute Hammer Griffin Knight, I am afraid that even the Crypt Lord Anubarak is here, he will not be able to withstand an attack.

The movement speed of the undead is not fast, and even if it is fast, there is no way to dodge, because there are too many undead, dense, and many undead can be killed by firing with their eyes closed, and they don't need to be accurate at all!

However, it is better to have an accurate head than not to have an accurate head.

The few remaining court mages in Riptide Castle, as well as the few folk mages recruited by Jiang Zai himself, obeyed Jiang Zai's orders and used the simplest lighting spells, such as flashbangs, to illuminate the sky, the city walls, and the army of the undead below.

The Earth Spirit's calculation method is very accurate, and they operate it personally, aiming at the Scourge Giants and Undead Viku who pose the greatest threat to the city wall, and firing them at most five or six times, one of them can always be hit, and one hit will inevitably kill one, and the offensive of the undead army is forcibly contained.

Almost all of the Scourge Giants and Undead Viku were killed, and there was also the credit of Angela, the ** teacher.

Merry has been keeping an eye on Kel'thugad, and she is the only one who can deal with those scourge giants and undead Vikus from a distance, and she has a lot of credit.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Zai breathed a sigh of relief.

Kill these guys, and the pressure on defending the city will be reduced a lot.

However, there were still some Scourge giants and undead Viku, who rushed under the city wall and directly crashed into the city wall.

Fort Rapids is the oldest city of mankind, built many times in 2,800 years, and the walls are getting higher and thicker, and now they are 20 meters high and 10 meters thick. With an impact of this level, maybe the city wall three or four meters behind can hit a big hole, but the ten-meter-thick city wall is impossible to break through, absolutely impossible.

But the city wall was really broken, because Jiang Zai heard a violent explosion!

The explosion was sent from the bodies of the Scourge Giants and the Undead Viku, who actually planted bombs in their bodies, and exploded under the tremendous force of the impact, blasting several gaps in the city walls. Some of the defenders and earth spirits who had no time to dodge fell down with the catapult, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Fortunately, the power of the catapult was strong enough, and Jiang Zai immediately ordered his warriors to plug the gap, so that no undead rushed into the city.

A large number of boulders are piled up on the city walls, but there is always a time when they run out.

Relying on the catapult alone, it stubbornly blocked the attack that lasted for twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes later, more undead finally came under the walls, swarming towards the gaps in the walls.
