Chapter 31: Fire and Water

The flames swept the battlefield in a frenzy, and the elemental fire used by Andy was gone, but the fires ignited by the rolling wood pine oil were still getting less and less intense, and all the skeletons that were approaching were affected by the fire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Soon the fire spread to the pine forest outside the battlefield, the pine forest was originally a flammable dance, as soon as it touched the sparks, it immediately burned endlessly, and the fire under the city soared into the sky, and the undead legions who went forward and followed suddenly fell into a sea of fire.

The fire burned all night, knowing that the woods closest to the walls had burned to the ground, and before dawn the undead had stopped attacking.

Cecil couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw that the tide of enemy troops was no longer pouring in, and although he was mentally prepared for the numerical superiority of the undead troops, he was still overstretched in the face of it. The skeleton army is really a natural killing force, no matter how many deaths you can go forward and continue to advance without fear of death, which is far beyond any human army.

Cecil looked at the surrounding defense troops, although there were not many casualties this night, everyone had been injured to a greater or lesser extent, and their physical strength had been greatly affected. He hurriedly ordered the troops to rest in place.

The state of the whole army is almost like a full bow, once it is relaxed, the whole team collapses like a deflated ball, and the people lie on the ground in all directions, and they don't even have the strength to go back to their rooms to rest.

Those mercenaries said they were mercenaries, but they were no different from gangsters in police skins. Now they are allowed to participate in such a high-intensity battle, and the ruthlessness and slaughter of the battlefield can be imagined in their hearts.

But now Cecil didn't have time to build their battlefield minds, because in less than a dozen hours, the undead army would attack again the next day at nightfall, and he had to prepare for the relevant resistance.

All the wood and oil in the city had been depleted, and the trees around the city had been burned to the ground, and there was no way he could do it again. There has to be a new approach.

Cecil looked at Andy, just like the last time he used the Dragon Grammar Technique in the Temple of War, Andy's spiritual power consumption was very large, and his face was no longer calm and calm, and his whole face was covered with sweat.

Andy wiped the sweat from his face and said apologetically to Cecil: "I may not be able to participate in the following battle, I am in my current state, and I must rest for two days." “

Cecil also knows a little bit about the cultivation of mages, and Andy, who is less than level 40, has already overdrawn his spiritual power when he launches such a large-scale spell, and even a dragon vein warlock may definitely not be able to withstand this kind of consumption. Andy is already a blessing in misfortune that he has not been eaten by the backlash and cannot sleep for a long time.

Cecil also felt that this trip was more or less sorry for Andy, it was supposed to help Andy obtain the inheritance of a certain site in Bokabu, but he didn't expect to drag Andy into a war, if he died here, I am afraid that the entire Cabrada would not be very understanding of himself, and a future new star would fall here.

Cecil thought about it a lot, but in the end he could only smile and say to Andy: "It's okay, you can just rest well, and I'll leave the rest to me." ”

Andy was so weak that he couldn't stand up, and Cecil had to drag him into the house.

The moment he lay on the bed, Andy's eyes were already closed deeply, and Cecil knew that he had entered a state of quiet meditation, and every time a dragon vein warlock surpassed the limit of his mana, he would have this state, if he couldn't survive then he would die, and if he could wake up, then Andy's strength would go to a higher level.

The only thing that made Cecil more relieved was that Sanders, who had missed the first day of fighting, had already stood on the wall to assist Cecil in defense, although Sanders's injury was not completely healed, but the current situation was too tense, so Sanders rushed over after a slight improvement.

In the army of the undead outside the city, under the bright sun, the army of the undead looked sick and collapsed, lying on the ground. If someone enters the position of the army of the undead now, they will definitely see this strange scene. All the skeletons fell to the ground, not even able to stand up.

The reason why the army of the undead never invades other places is also a very important point, in the place where there is no curse of death, the army of the undead will feel weak, and it will be better at night, and the low-level army of the undead will directly lose the instinct to fight during the day, and the combat effectiveness of the high-level undead will also plummet. Even the Lich Winter feels lazy.

But Rin Winter felt more anger and fear at this time, the skeleton army lost more than 20,000 in one night, even if it was cannon fodder, it was not possible to lose so easily, even if it was a work on the production line. It will take several years to make an army of 20,000 skeletons, and I brought out 50,000 skeletons and lost 20,000 at once, and I don't know how to explain it to the lord when I go back.

The only thing that made Rin Dong feel at ease was the battle last night, although the troops in the city showed much stronger combat effectiveness than expected, but the so-called legendary-level powerhouse never appeared.

Now is the time when the army of the undead is extremely weak, if there are legendary-level powerhouses in the city, the best way now is of course that the legendary-level powerhouses go out of the city with their forces and go directly to the undead camp to intercept and kill themselves, and their skeleton army can't do anything now.

But there is still no movement, and the city is still preparing to resist, which only shows one thing. That is, there are no legendary-level powerhouses in the city at all now.

Winter is suddenly furious now, Sandru, dare to bluff to deceive him, and return him to lose so many skeleton troops, this kid is getting more and more excessive. The mistakes he made were all given by Sandru's false information.

Winter has decided to personally bring all the elite troops to attack Wharton City tonight, after all, it has been two days until tonight, and reinforcements from the Shield Paladins may come at any time one day. You must fight quickly, grab that legendary-level corpse, and then withdraw your troops. Because time is running out for him......

It was getting dark, but Cecil still let the soldiers continue to rest, yesterday's battle was too tiring, it would be good to rest a little longer, not to mention that today's battle may not need to fight too many conventional wars. Cecil thought to himself.

The army of the undead in the distance was slowly gathering together, and the resting soldiers were returning to their combat positions yesterday, and Sanders took Andy's place behind Cecil, and the battle was about to break out.

Just as the undead army approached the city wall, everyone suddenly heard the sound of "booming" water, and the original drainage pipe in the city wall suddenly opened, and the river passing through Wharton City suddenly changed direction, flowing from the city wall in the west to the east of the city, becoming a moat running through the entire city wall.

It turned out that Cecil had already paid attention to this abandoned moat, because of the shortage of water, in fact, the previous generations of adjugates had diverted the water source to make the moat ineffective, and Cecil only needed to dredge the blocked river channel and block the opened river channel to let the river flow again.

However, the city of Wharton was located in a mountainous area, and the river was not dense in the first place, and even if it could form a moat along the city walls, it would not be so urgent, so in order to increase the flow of water, Cecil opened all the water storage vaults in the city and poured all the stored water into the river. The weather had been good for the past few years, so the reservoir was full of stored water, which was released overnight, and the moat immediately became a rushing river that flowed rapidly before the city walls.

If the first day to repel the enemy army with fire, then the second day with water, the biggest hero on the first day was Andy, then the second day was Sanders, in fact, this shield warrior who has lived here for a long time is very familiar with the local topography, landform, hydrology, and geography, and immediately made this suggestion to Cecil.

Although he did not participate in the first day of the battle, his injuries have not healed, but more importantly, he is preparing for various matters of today's water attack, and it seems that this person is not simple. Cecil thought. Water attack is easier said than done, to be very proficient in all aspects of knowledge, especially in such a short period of time can be done, it is really a talent, although it is impossible to take him, but if you can save the body of Lord Marquis, it is absolutely no problem for me to recommend him to Lord Earl.

The turbulent water is constantly flowing along the moat, if it is an ordinary human legion, the threat posed by this moat is extremely limited, at most the moment of relaunch, some soldiers who are not in good positions will be washed away by the defense, but then everyone will stop by the moat to erect a pontoon bridge and continue the attack.

But now some skeletons on the other side who only have orders and no intelligence, they do not stop at all, and jump into the river one by one without hesitation, one is washed away, and the other behind jumps in. Although the undead army is dense, it has not reached the point of throwing the whip and cutting off the stream, and can only watch this army continue to plunge into this kind of attack that is sent to death in vain.

Although Cecil didn't know why the necromancer behind these undead continued to attack this uselessly, Cecil was clearly happy to see such a scene. The water in the reservoir had been calculated to be sufficient to keep the river flowing at this rate for the entire night, and if it survived the night, it would be possible for the cavalry troops of the Shield Paladins to arrive by tomorrow evening.

Although the undead army outside is very terrifying in front of the mercenary group in his own city, it is really nothing in front of the established Shield Holy Knights, this army may not even be able to win against the 100-strong members of the Shield Holy Knights, otherwise how dare the Shield Holy Knights defend the entire southern territory of this kingdom with the strength of a knight order.
