Chapter 263: Sneaking into the Rear
Cuthbert entered the undead-held territory with the Cathedral's troops, and instead of going to Radiant City, they chose a city south of Radiant City.
The city is a sovereign city that has just been captured by the undead forces. It's some distance from Radiant City, but it's not too far, and the Cathedral's troops are still nominally here to rescue Radiant City.
Several forces followed Cuthbert's forces into the city's territory. Since the cathedral chose to do so, they were happy to follow suit and follow in their footsteps.
Yuan Mu had a different purpose from the other troops, and after entering the territory, he bypassed the Cathedral troops and accelerated their march, surpassing Cuthbert's troops.
The troops were marching, and Mei Mi noticed that something was wrong: "We have been in here for so long, why haven't we seen the undead troops, not even the patrol troops?" ”
"The city should belong to the ones that can be abandoned, and the undead forces of the territory have been sent to the Radiant City. The rest of the undead should be huddled in the city, and will not be dispatched at will. Yuan Mu replied.
He had actually seen a few small undead scout troops, but very few. Yuan Mu didn't attack them either, and easily dodged with his troops.
Memy reluctantly accepted this explanation: "Cuthbert seems to know that he will choose to attack here. After recovering the city, he can be regarded as contributing. But the city behind the city, and the area behind the city, is where the land of calamity really operates. ”
Yuan Mu nodded, they all knew that the undead lord of the Calamity Land had connected the territories occupied earlier into a large territory, and he also used the heart of the city to build new cities between the cities to strengthen his control over the territory.
The undead force focuses on defending the outlying cities of this large territory, and Saseo City is one of them, which is a level 4 city of the undead system. In the area, the undead begin to transform the environment.
"Our goal is to make our way through the city of Saseo and infiltrate the vast territory of the undead. There are some new, low-level undead cities, and we're going to destroy them. ”
Although she had already guessed Yuan Mu's thoughts, Mei Mi still frowned and said, "Lord Yuan Mu, although your strength is not bad now, you don't want to deal with the undead in the entire area, right?" We'll be surrounded by the undead. ”
"That's where Cuthbert's troops come in. After Cuthbert captures the city, if we cause a big disturbance in that area, it will force Cuthbert to continue to lead his troops forward and threaten the city of Sasio, and our pressure will be much less. ”
"Lord Yuan Mu, do you want to pin your hopes on others?"
Mei Mi knew what Yuan Mu meant.
If they wreak havoc in the rear, the rest of the forces will see this as an opportunity to relieve the pressure on Radiant City. Coosbert will be pressured to march to Sas'o City to cooperate with Yuan Mu.
Although it is not necessary to attack the city, it will also attract undead troops to defend and relieve Yuan Mu's pressure on them.
But this is only speculation after all, if Cuthbert does not oppress Sasio for some reason, then they will have to face many enemies.
Moreover, it is inherently dangerous to enter the undead-occupied area to wreak havoc, and the Knights have been sending people to do this, but it is difficult to find troops who ignore the danger.
"Don't worry so much, the undead forces of several nearby cities should have taken some of them to Radiant City, only Saseo City, the outermost part of the region, is heavily guarded. As long as we can sneak in, we can do a lot of things. ”
----------------------------
Mei Mi was still convinced, and Yuan Mu and her troops quickly approached the territory of Sasio City.
Since Mei Mi decided to support him, Yuan Mu did not deliberately hide the existence of the Eye of Grulock. Use the High Altitude Recon technique to carefully evade the undead scouts and slowly infiltrate Sas's rear.
Mei Mi had long known that Yuan Mu had stealth or advanced reconnaissance skills and treasures, and it was not surprising to learn of the existence of the Eye of Grulock, and the illusionists under her command assisted the troops in hiding.
The Cathedral forces attracted the attention of Sasio City, and Yuan Mu avoided that direction, dodging the scouts, sentry posts, and camps he encountered, and cautiously sneaked through the territory of Sasio City.
Walking through Saseo City, Yuan Mu breathed a sigh of relief. There should be a lot fewer undead troops here, and that's exactly what happened.
There were fewer undead patrols, but there was a black poisonous mist in the air. The poisonous fog didn't hurt much, but it persisted, and it also blocked out some of the sunlight, making the sky a little gray.
There were also many low-level undead doing other things, and Yuan Mu saw them using a green glow potion to create this poisonous mist everywhere, or dumping it into the river to pollute the river,
From time to time, you can also find cemeteries where tombs gather, piles of rotting corpses, and bone pits where bones are collected. Because of the strong atmosphere of the undead in these places, some of them have already appeared in the wild.
Following the direction in which these undead creatures came, Yuan Mu quickly found an undead city. It is a level 1 city, and it should be newly built.
Hide his own troops, and let only the troops of Daoya, Taosno, and Erqiang attack the city.
The blade rushed directly towards the city of the undead, and the walls were shattered.
It was just an ordinary city, unfortified by walls, and was quickly captured.
"This wild boar of yours is amazing." Mei Mi looked at Daoya with some envy. The first time she saw Yuan Mu, she was deeply impressed by the wild boar that directly smashed through the wall of Tombstone Village.
Yuan Mu laughed twice, the important reason why he dared to come and sneak attack the rear of the undead was because he had knife teeth.
The undead are not afraid of troops infiltrating their rear, as they have built many undead cities and camps in this area. The infiltrated troops will have less room to move, and they will be slowly captured by the undead troops.
But with the existence of the sword, the low-level city is the same, not to mention the camp, which can only provide the role of a sentry.
Yuan Mu could capture these low-level cities and camps at any time. With the Eye of Grulock and the Blade, troops can move around the area with relative ease.
Moreover, after the blade is upgraded to level 7, the damage to the building has also increased, and it can already directly break through the walls of level 3 cities.
Yuan Mu also entered this level 1 undead city, and soon found some information in the city hall, and learned about the task assigned to the city to transform the surrounding environment, as well as simple information about nearby cities.
Further back in the city, there is a level 3 undead city, Chetham City, which is also the logistics base of the surrounding cities.
"My lord, what are we going to do with this city?" The second strong packed up the things in the city and reported it.
"Leave someone to destroy it, there is no city heart here. We set off straight to attack the city of Chetham. "Since he wants to make a disturbance, Yuan Mu has no intention of staying.
Mei Mi was really taken aback this time: "Lord Yuan Mu, Chesem City is a level 3 city. Even if we can take Chetsom City, there will be a powerful army of the undead coming for us. ”
"It's true that there are a lot fewer undead troops in this area, and isn't that what we're for?"
