Chapter 735: Burning the City?

In the westernmost part of the Half Moon Territory, there is a large area of inaccessible land, forests, swamps, and fierce beasts that lurk in it and can kill people at any time. This world is not yet like the Earth, where human footprints have spread all over the place. The current world is full of dangers for human beings, and no one usually appears in such a place.

However, the abnormal thing is that at dusk of this day, when the surrounding temperature gradually decreases and the miasma in the forest gradually dissipates, two figures slowly walk out of a cave at the edge of this primeval dense forest. Both of them were wearing heavy armor, but this armor didn't seem to have the slightest sense of burden on the two of them.

......One of the warriors, who had a shield on his arm and the armor on his body was as if it had been smoked, finally saw the light and couldn't help but sigh often.

"Hah...... I didn't expect us to be able to come out...... Wilcas, happy hunting. The warrior with a two-handed giant sword on the side was also a little emotional after seeing the sun again. A discerning person can notice that brown liquid is dripping from the bulging bag behind his back.

"I'm just helping, after all, Lord Wei Xu is also more concerned about cooperation with the comrades-in-arms." Wilcas next to him moved his muscles slightly, then raised his feet and walked back.

"So you're not a member of our comrades-in-arms? You guy, don't forget who picked you up in the first place! It's really a white-eyed wolf......" Looking at Wilcas's back, Farkas took out his brother's gesture and shouted at him.

Hearing this reprimand, Wilcas's movements stopped slightly: "I am still a member of the comrade-in-arms group, but at this time I am still the commander of the Half Moon Leader......"

Hearing Wilcas's words, Farkas's movements were also sluggish, and finally he shrugged helplessly and followed in Wilcas's footsteps......

Wintercastle.

"What?! Our reinforcements were ambushed? Rich's Igmond guy attacked the Half Moon Collar? Snow Elf ...... Made, these bitches, are out and having a good time at this time! Looking at the undead warriors crawling towards their positions at an extremely slow pace, Ufriric's heart on the city wall was cold.

He had just learned what was happening, and he knew he wasn't going to get reinforcements this time. It's not that the people in the rear want to contain him and hinder him. It's that the current situation is really impossible for the current coalition forces to squeeze out.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?!" Gamma looked at Ufrik with a calm face, his tone full of helplessness.

"This ......," Ufrik squinted at the undead warrior in front of him, who was still holding on and trying to rush over. According to the court mage of Baggrove, there must be a necromancer behind these guys, and controlling so many undead warriors is a great drain on his mental energy, so this level of impact must not last long! Orders were given to the soldiers below to prepare, and when evening came, we withdrew from the back road. As long as we can get to Skateavburg, then we are victorious! ”

The walls of Winterhold are not particularly strong, and sooner or later the undead warriors in front of them will attack them. Ufrik knew that once he came into close contact with these undead warriors, he would be greeted with defeat! So he gritted his teeth and decided to retreat to the fortress in the north of Stormhelm City. Starkav Fortress, as long as there are enough reserves to defend it, the enemy will not even be able to climb the city walls!

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the entire snowfield outside Winterhold. On this golden snow, there are a large number of "corpses" lying horizontally. Of course, these guys just fell to the ground and couldn't get up because they were too badly injured, and it wasn't like they were really dead. Waves of enemies rushed towards Wintercastle in an endless stream, with some undead warriors carrying down the seriously wounded warriors on the battlefield, and within a few minutes these warriors appeared on the battlefield alive.

"These guys...... It's really energetic......" Ufrik didn't wait for the enemy to stop attacking, but he frowned and thought about it, and suddenly had a plan. "Since you don't stop, let me force you to stop...... Gamma?! ”

"In! What's wrong with the adults? Gamma on the other side heard Ufrik's call and hurried over.

"Have you done the trebuchet that came out of the Winterhold warehouse?"

"My lord, there are so many broken parts of those machines that we have only repaired ten crosses."

"Ten-cross...... Ufrik squinted at the undead warrior who finally approached the city wall and began to erect a ladder, then turned to look at Gamma and said, "Ten crosses are enough, our six hundred jars of fierce fire oil are not used yet, right?" Now go down and gather all our grain and all the grain in the Wintercastle granary at the east gate, and then pour the whole city with fire oil for all the combustible items......

"Your Excellency, this is going to ......," Gamma widened his eyes as he looked at Ufrik. What about the inhabitants of the city? ”

“…… These guys are really troublesome...... I've told them before that there's going to be a battle here. If you haven't left yet, this time you tell them that we're going to burn the city! It's up to them to decide whether to go or not! Ufrik held his forehead helplessly.

......The sound of a series of arrows hitting the shield was mixed with a few screams, and Ufrik knew that this was the distance where the enemy had advanced to the point where the archers were working, and from this distance his side would have to face casualties, and the soldiers who were wounded at any time had mutated......

Half-moon collar, Northwest Fortress.

The catapult's futile return did not dampen Cuy's emotions, and he looked at the undead warriors below with a calm face, listening to the loud sounds of the foot crossbow and the bed crossbow in his ears, not knowing what he was thinking.

"My lord, the Standor Alert has arrived......" His face finally relaxed a little when the voice of the herald's announcement reached his ears.

"Tolan!"

"Is there anything you need help with Stenda? My lord? On the city wall, Tolan secretly glanced at the sea of undead warriors below who were attacked but were still neat and orderly, and couldn't help but shudder. Think about how long since you became a Standar Vigilant, when have you seen so many undead?

"I remember you told Lord Wei Xu before that your spells can resist the toxins of the undead?"

Hearing Cuoy's question, Tolan hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord, there are many of our Standar spells that can resist this toxin, but if it is for us to cure the poisoned person, there is nothing we can do. ”

"Excellent! When I give the order, you will unleash this spell on the shield warriors in front of you, so that everyone is under the protection of this spell! ”

"Your Excellency......" Cuoy's order made Tolan a little embarrassed for a moment. Our numbers are so small that we can't do anything to cast this spell on all the warriors of the three walls, but according to the ancient texts handed down by the Standar Warden, we can carve some circles to achieve this effect. ”

"Is there such a way?" Cuy was surprised to hear the answer of the old man of the Standar Vigilante in front of him.

"This formation hasn't been used for a long time, because we take the initiative when dealing with aliens, especially the undead. So I can't guarantee that this method will work......" Tolan was a little embarrassed when he heard Cuoy's words.

"Just do it, as long as you can really do it, I will naturally report your merits to Lord Wei Xu at that time!"
