Chapter 738: Sneak Attack
Will Ephris give up his anger because of a man who serves him? How can it be? If that's the case, then it's unlikely that she'll ever get to this point. While the fainting young mage in front of her had influenced her decision in some ways, the more problematic problem was that she found that her army of undead had hit a bottleneck. In the final analysis, this matter is not a problem of his own hands, but almost certainly a certain situation.
After all, at the end of the day, although these undead won't get tired, the necromancer who controls them will. But if you give up control of these undead and let them scatter into a mess to attack those territories, the effect you can achieve is also predictable. And there is a good chance that these undead warriors will get out of control, which is completely unacceptable to Eposis. The Undead Warrior is just a tool of war for her, and if she wants to take control of a Necromantic Realm? Are you kidding!
Maybe it's time to stop, he has occupied half of the sky, and at this time, it may be what he should do to rectify the internal development of more necromancers, and as for those territory lords, they are just clowns, and they can't catch up with the development speed of their own army...... For the first time, such a thought appeared in the mind of the queen of the blue palace......
Half-moon collar, Northwest Fortress.
"You've done a great job this time, especially Tolan, the Vigilant's spell has reduced us a lot of casualties." In the fortress hall, Wei Xu was lying lazily on the seat, his eyes half-squinted, as if he might fall asleep at any time.
Hearing Wei Xu's praise, Tolan hurriedly saluted Wei Xu: "It's just a gesture, the Standa Vigilante and all the alien races are enemies, and it is our obligation to destroy them." ”
"Well, I'll make up for the loss this time when I get back." Wei Xu didn't say anything nonsense to Tolan, he nodded and then turned directly to Kuyi on the other side: "Have the results been counted?" I don't want to be like Loristed did and let Efcisis go back without losing any flesh. ”
At this time, Kuy had just received a piece of paper full of words from the adjutant on the side: "My lord, the news just counted, this time they left six hundred and thirty-two undead warriors under the city wall, and your lord's spell finally killed eighty-three undead warriors. And our own words have now counted 52 seriously wounded, 238 lightly wounded, and 26 people died directly from fatal wounds. There were 800 rounds of bed crossbow arrows in stock, 3,000 bolts of foot crossbow arrows, a total of 12,000 arrows remaining, and 500 cans of fire oil. ”
Listening to the figures reported by Kuyi, Wei Xu's brows furrowed and loosened, and then simply twisted into a pimple. There is only so little left left, and after all, his foundation is too thin. After repeated expansions, the speed of output has kept up, and now the output of arrows and weapons has been largely restricted by the lack of production scale and the shortage of ore. There weren't many good veins in the Half Moon Territory, and Bremund's known veins were much poorer due to Somer's predatory exploitation.
But...... Speaking of this metal vein, it seems that Ruichi understands a lot, right?
The entire hall became silent because of Wei Xu's silence, and from the perspective of Kuyjord, Laikas, and Tolan, Wei Xu seemed to have fallen asleep on a chair because he was too sleepy.
"This battle won't last long, and it will be a stalemate soon." Wei Xu's sudden opening made several people present suddenly shocked. "Those undead warriors are tireless, but the necromancers who control them will always get tired of their spirits. And...... Now, judging from the map alone, Epsis has completely controlled most of the sky, and she can't complete the full control of the land she already owns with these undead warriors alone. ”
Wei Xu believed that Eposis was not a stupid person, and if she wanted a realm of the undead, wouldn't it be easier to directly and quietly spread the undead toxin? Why go to such great lengths to provoke war?
"So what do you mean by ......" Kuyi's eyes lit up as if he had suddenly thought of something.
"Yes......" Before Kuy could finish speaking, Wei Xu took it. Not only do we have to get back the lost passes before the truce, but we also have to get as much out of Epsis's mouth as possible! ”
As he spoke, Wei Xu stood up suddenly, and tapped his finger at the mouth of a valley opposite the Broken Rock Canyon Pass on the map......
Broken Rock Canyon. A pass straddles here, blocking the way from Half Moon to Ruichi's territory. A few days ago, this place still belonged to the Half Moon Collar, but because of a sneak attack by Ruichi, under the carelessness of the guards here, the flag of Ruichi Collar has now been floating on the pass.
Ephris had given the order to tighten his defenses, and in this case the necromancers loosened their grip on all the undead. Only one necromancer is left here to control a patrol of undead warriors on the city walls in case of a sneak attack by the enemy.
Sneak attack? Those Nord barbarians can only be suppressed and beaten by their own army of undead, how can they dare to come and sneak attack? This is the voice of almost all necromancers involved in combat control. However, none of them dared to say this in front of Eposis, who now represented absolute authority, and her orders, the necromancers could only comply.
The undead controlled by the necromancer was half-leaning against the wall, squinting as if asleep. Maybe he really fell asleep, otherwise this guy couldn't feel the breath of the living people gathered in the distance while the night was gathering. Among all the undead warriors present, this undead warrior controlled by the mage could feel the popularity gathered in the distance when he was awake, and the rest of the undead warriors were still walking back and forth on the city wall with a blank face like a programmed robot.
At the edge of the forest, nearly three hundred meters away from the pass of this Broken Rock Canyon, Wilcas, who had just finished reporting with Wei Xu and took over the task, looked at the thirty trebuchets that had been prepared, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Put!"
With an order, thirty trebuchets were activated together, and hundreds of clay pots flew up densely, drawing a beautiful line of fire in the direction of the pass.
"Enemy attack!" The terrible sound pierced the torches in the council chamber next to the blue palace swaying. Sure enough, Lord Evosis's prediction was correct! Damn it...... How did these guys have the guts to sneak up on themselves? Aren't they afraid of the undead toxin?!
