Chapter 120: Immovable as a Mountain
Compared to the variety of siege tactics of human troops, the forces of the undead are much more monotonous. Aside from attacking from the front of the gates, the skeletal and ghoul forces had to rely on siege towers to take the city, as the ladder was a nightmare for them due to the nature of these two undead. However, in the past, when Diya fought, these two cheap and large numbers of troops were often used as cannon fodder rather than the main attack force, and on the battlefield, the usual tricks used by Commander Diya, in addition to the regular siege equipment bombardment in turn, was nothing more than a large number of vampires flying into the city to open the city gates, or corroding the walls of the city wall with the fierce poison of the corpse witch group, and then directly destroying the wall with the strong blows of the stitching monsters.
But in the hands of the wizard's apprentice, there are neither a large number of vampires, nor a horde of corpse witches, let alone any stitching monsters.
So when it gave the order to siege the city, the skeleton spearmen advanced to the range and began to suppress the fire, and some of the ghouls behind immediately began the process of cutting down the giant trees. Soon, two thick and long trunks were transported to the front line, and the undead troops began to press forward in an attempt to break through the walls of Krunga in the most savage and brutal way.
"Weigh it all on me! They are understaffed! ”
Although it was still a few hundred meters away, the sparse light of the fire on the city wall shook the spirit of the wizard apprentice. As the saying goes, if a slightly experienced general sees only sporadic fires on such a majestic fortress, I am afraid that he will wonder if there is fraud and hesitate a little, but it is precisely because the wizard apprentice has no experience in leading the army to fight, this pig is advancing by leaps and bounds, but it is directly cutting the weakness of Jin Lunjialing.
“Ki-sha-sa!”
Deya's hierarchy is deeply rooted in the hearts of "people", and even among the skeleton army, the stronger skeletons and even the skeleton warriors have a higher status. In the ten-man squad, the most hideous-looking skeleton wielded the rusty scimitar in his hand. Drinking and making the undead move forward, such strange voices came and went, echoing in the sky in the distance, sounding free and infiltrating.
"Dense formation."
Commander Kunari's voice fell smoothly, and the Gnoll heralds immediately understood, and rushed to inform the lizardmen archers scattered across the city walls. Nowadays, there is a shortage of personnel in Jinlunga. There is a shortage of all kinds of supplies and equipment, such as this kind of problem that can be solved by a single order in Kunaliri, and now it is up to these "little dogs" to run around whiring, even Acesis is a little helpless.
But this thought was only kept in the mind of Commander Kunali, who stood on the wall like an immovable statue, looking at the undead troops from afar with an expressionless face, without any tension or rigour, only calm and indifferent. It's like a human leaning against a tree watching ants fight. Although in the face of several times the enemy army on his side, the oppressive and heavy atmosphere inevitably made the morale drop, but with this calm and calm commander's command, everyone felt that he was confident, and his confidence depended on the commander, which made the troops defending the city a lot more spirited.
But seriously. The morale of the soldiers in the swamp did not collapse, and there was also the credit for the unhappiness in this. Although for humans. In their eyes, the creatures of the swamp are the same as the undead, and they are to be classified as "monsters", but the creatures of the swamp are also living creatures after all, and they have a natural fear of the undead, but with the construction of the Golden Lun Collar, they are not happy like ordinary workers. Dedicating their inexhaustible bodies in the construction of their territory, many gnolls and lizardmen were initially afraid, but as time passed, the unhappiness of hard work was gradually accepted by them, and these soldiers gradually began to feel it. The undead weren't that scary, but the ones who were unhappy were closer than their own brothers - of course, it was just wishful thinking on the part of the swamp soldiers - and now they were surprisingly unflinching in the face of the undead troops, which Albert saw and confirmed the necessity of a future territorial racial melting pot.
"It's been a long day......
Albert sighed softly and tightened the chestnut staff in his hand. Under the influence of Assesses, his drowsiness also dissipated. At this time, he had already distributed the alchemy materials that had not been used before to the hands of the gnolls, and instructed them to only throw these round things into the enemy formation after receiving the order. Samael was very interested in the alchemy works of the Black Wizard, but unfortunately he was good at spears rather than technology, although he borrowed a round and looked at it for a long time, but he never saw any way, so he had to put away his mind and prepare to open his eyes in a short battle.
While everyone was waiting for them, a dark shadow quickly climbed the city wall and rushed to Albert and Assesis before the defenders could react. The lizardman shooter beside them was startled and subconsciously turned their bows around, but they turned back to find that the Kunali Broken Sword Guards who were waiting behind were completely indifferent, and they were relieved when the light of the fire gradually lit up the faces of the comers.
In addition to Green, this speed is only the big hideous eagle-headed Avenger Delga.
"Miss Lilith isn't done yet?"
Albert turned around and asked, Delga had been sent to Lilith's side from the very beginning, so that any news could be delivered as quickly as possible.
"Most of it is done, and Miss Lilith says it's ready for use." As she spoke, Delga's eagle eyes shrank slightly as she looked out of the city. Although it does not possess night vision, the sharpness of the eagle's eyes is far from being comparable to that of humans, and it can clearly see the number and variety of troops below, so it can't help but take a slight breath.
Albert didn't notice Delga's small gesture, he nodded, glanced at Acesis and asked, "How much?" And the level of strength? ”
"A total of twelve statues have been completed, and the strength level is slightly lower than the finished product of Endymion, but it also has the absolute power of the second order."
The division of strength in the Khabez Continent is concise and clear, divided by absolute strength, there are a total of ten classes, ranked from low to high, ordinary people are subject to the first-order strength, and the tenth-order strength is the level of the kings of the Golden Top, and the cognition of each class has its own criteria for division. For example, the strength is enough to penetrate a tree trunk or shatter rocks, or the speed of a leopard or lightning fast, etc. This division is only convenient for the inhabitants of the mainland to predict the danger, and the combat establishment to judge the strength of the enemy, although it does not fully represent the real combat strength, but it can be widely recognized, so the four major churches divide the establishment of various ethnic combat arms. It is also almost entirely distinguished by reference to the division of strength, and the first-order establishment has the absolute power of the first-order, and so on.
As for the system identification brought by Grimm's crossing, it is actually a more standardized distinction of strength classes, which correspond to ten classes with F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and Z, each of which is subdivided into three classes, and such a calculation result can also provide him with a more accurate budget.
"Maximum flight distance?"
Listening to Delga's report, Assesis suddenly interjected.
Delgar didn't even think about it. He handed over a report that Lilith had given him. It's the kind of question it can't remember.
Albert leaned over and took a quick glance with Assesis in the light of the torches, and couldn't help but make a slurping sound from his mouth. In such a short period of time, he was able to complete this kind of process, and I have to say that Green has indeed picked up the treasure, at least in the magic guide process, Lilith's unique talent has been fully proven, even with Albert's picky eye for magic guide products. I also have to admit that Lilith has the potential to become a grandmaster.
"All lifted into the air, waiting for orders."
Looked at the report. Assesis gave the order with a blank face. Without the slightest hesitation, Delga answered the call to leave a report for Albert and turned to leave.
Although they are also Grimm's contract creatures, except for the little fox who can show off his might on Grimm's shoulders, I am afraid that no one is not in awe of Cercis.
Even the stupid and cute Arieti is the same.
Samael listened in a fog behind him, and although he wanted to go over and find out, he thought about his own identity. In the end, I reluctantly held back my curiosity. However, to his surprise, he did not get through, but Albert came to him.
"Ah, Mr. Samael," Albert said. With a characteristic smiling expression, "How did you rest just now?" ”
Samael was inexplicably covered by the black magic's inexplicability, and nodded subconsciously.
"In that case, presumably your injuries are out of the way, right? I've heard that you're passionate about fighting and are good at breaking 10,000 with one, isn't that right? Albert smiled passionately.
The corner of Samael's eyes twitched, to break 10,000? You and I are Kai Wushuang!
- Huh? Wait, what is Mushuang?
"Ahaha, that, it's just a little good at group combat." Samael laughed dryly, not daring to make too much of it.
"I see, that's great," Albert clapped his hands happily, and then raised the activation rope he had just summoned, "I think you must be very dissatisfied with the battle in the afternoon, and considering your combat effectiveness, the commander also thinks that it is a bit overkill to keep you in the city to defend, so he wants you to meet the attack, but you can rest assured, I will tie you to the activation rope, and if the enemy approaches or you are exhausted, we will immediately drag you up - I guess you also saw it in the afternoon, My activation rope is so strong that even vampires can break free, so you don't have to worry about breaking it halfway, you can rest assured! ”
Samael grinned slightly as he looked at the rope that was slowly wriggling in Albert's hand.
"There's nothing wrong with fighting, I've got some blood, it's just ......" he paused, then looked around, his gaze swept over the gnolls, the lizardmen, the armored puppets, and the Kunari Broken Sword Guard, and finally on Assesis, who had his back to him, "...... I'm not the only one in charge of the fight, right? ”
Albert shrugged his shoulders with a helpless smile, "Well, if you talk about the combat strength of the army, I'm afraid it's only you and Mr. Commander now, but you also know that the military commander can't do everything himself, so ......"
This guy laughs so cheaply.
Samael stared at the young black wizard and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Outside the territory of Jinlunga, the army of the undead had already marched to a distance of less than 100 meters, and the lizardmen archers in the city had already begun to shoot under the orders of Acesis. In contrast to skeletons with only skeletons left in the skeleton, ghouls that still have skin and muscles suffer, and most of the arrows that pass through the gaps in the bones of the skeleton leave fatal wounds when they fall on the ghoul.
"Throw!"
As the undead forces continued to approach, Commander Kunali finally gave the order, and the gnolls with alchemical works in their hands immediately threw them at the city. A row of round marbles fell from the top of the city. Due to the towering city walls of the Jin Lunjia collar, these round rolls have accumulated a lot of potential energy because of the fall, and they have not yet exerted their alchemy uses, and they have smashed into a bone frame just by smashing them.
Then there was the explosion of clusters.
Albert looked at the scene of white bones flying in the sky, and his heart was quite satisfied. The principle of these things is actually quite simple. It's just a simple combination of unstable compounds, once it is impacted, it will react quickly to cause an explosion, but this simple alchemy device has a lower range of action, although it is thrown in a dense position of the undead, and the final kill is more than thirty skeletons, but the six teams of ghouls pressed by the whole army were first shot by a dense rain of arrows, and then suffered from the bombardment of alchemy works, and the damage was quickly more than half. Compared to the skeleton team, which was not significantly reduced, it was like a cookie that had been bitten down, and the obvious gap was suddenly exposed.
"Damn, kill those guys in the city for me!"
The necromancer apprentice far behind was a little annoyed, although the ghoul was a low-level coolie, it was still a little more laborious to transform than a skeleton, and it was also stronger than a skeleton in terms of combat effectiveness. The fact that he had lost so much before he even touched the root of the wall was undoubtedly a little different from what he had envisioned.
Four corpse witches standing behind him. The iron-colored bone staff waved in his hand immediately changed color. Their numbers are small, and the suppression of the cloud of death is difficult to form. Therefore, before the Wizard Apprentice gave the order, he had been working on the army to cast a corrosive cloud of smoke and a dark curtain to assist the army from the damage of ordinary attacks, but unfortunately due to the problem of numbers, it had little effect, and now that the Wizard Apprentice had spoken, they had to carry it out, whether the order was correct or not.
If there are no people who make up a large area of poison gas, then they will be enhanced with a condensed toxin monomer!
The four iron-colored bone rods trembled and accumulated their magical power. Until the wizard apprentice was impatient to wait, the corpse witches finally roared in unison, and the bone staff in their hands was raised high, inspiring four gloomy green air bullets to shoot at the head of the city of Jinlunga, and then collapsed to the ground as if they had lost all their strength.
"Circumvent!"
Kinlunga, who is also facing a numerical problem. At present, it could not withstand the loss of personnel, so the commander of Kunali had to ask the defending troops to stop the fighting and choose a corner to avoid the flying unidentified objects. But when the four misty attacks reached the city walls, casualties were inevitable.
These swamp soldiers are also experienced in battle, and are very experienced in attacking from the bottom up when defending the city, whether it is arrows or ballistas, due to air resistance and angle, at most they can only fly diagonally upwards along the battlements, so in their common sense, as long as they hide under the battlements and keep their heads down, they can ensure that they survive the battlefield, unfortunately, these poor guys don't know that there is a creature in this world called Gog, and they don't know that there is an undead in this world called the Corpse Witch.
The miserable green poisonous mist exploded violently, and the cloud of death that spread a few meters away instantly enveloped the city, and the gnolls and lizards who could not dodge could only watch as the strange green mist squeezed the air around them, and then penetrated into their skin everywhere, erupting from the deepest part of their bodies with unprecedented itching and pain. They screamed, the feeling of countless ants crawling under their skin, making them scratch and tear their skin frantically, and the broken wounds were quickly corroded, and the swamp soldiers who were engulfed by the clouds of death seemed to be taking a bath in strong acid, and some of them were only covered with scaly wounds, some of them were disemboweled, their intestines were broken one by one, and the mucus flowed down the hole and made a foul smell on the ground, and some even broke out of their eye sockets, fell to the ground and eroded into a ball.
This miserable death was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the garrison, and the swamp troops who had once belonged to Altyn had never seen such a tragic situation, and they all screamed in terror and fled to the area that was not shrouded in the cloud of death, and the morale of the defenders plummeted to the bottom in an instant.
“Parshaara!”
Commander Kunali let out a loud shout, shaking the legs of the fleeing swamp soldiers, and the extreme panic calmed down slightly. He took a sharp step, and the thick dragon's spine swung swiftly through the air, and a strong wind wave swept through, instantly blowing away the already thinning clouds of death in the air, freeing the soldiers who were already rotting inside. Samael, who had a activation rope tied to his body, also made a corresponding move at this moment, he was good at wind elemental attacks, and with the swing of the blue spear in his hand, the chaotic breath wind converged into a spiral air current, sweeping away all the toxins in other locations on the trail.
"Altyn, reorganize!"
Assesses's expression did not change in the slightest, he just calmly gave the order, and then returned to the city, staring intently at the attack below. A few people had seen a wisp of poisonous mist strike when the Cloud of Death attacked, but as the gnolls fled frantically, Assesis ignored the threat of the poisonous mist with a powerful exhale, as if nothing could move him to be moved. And right behind him, the nineteen members of the Kunali Broken Sword Guard did not move, and they were as unshakable as a rock.
The Kunali Kunyou Army, which has conquered almost the entire continent in history, is definitely not in vain, this is a truly great army, and it is also a division of steel.
"Obey, obey ......"
The white-haired gnoll ran down the wall with some trepidation, while Samael stood behind with a solemn face, and looked at Assesis with a little awe in his eyes.
His solemnity lies in his recognition of the combat power of the corpse witch, Samael was born in a small human country, and was not the main target of Diya's invasion, so he rarely came into contact with the undead. The occasional battle that broke out during this long trip made him deeply understand why the threat of the undead would be so huge, this is not only a powerful attack ability, but also a deterrent to the defending troops, when they saw that their partners who got along day and night became that ghostly appearance, and the morale of the troops with a little less will was about to collapse, which shows that the strategic significance of the corpse witch is far greater than the significance of the battle, and he has since decided that once he joins the battlefield with Diya in the future, the first target to kill is these damn corpse witches.
But now, there are important things to do for him.
"Mr. Samael, it's your turn."
Albert walked over, his expression less relaxed than before. This kind of corrosion of Cheng dù could not be resisted even by the activation rope made by magic, and he knew it, and Samael knew it.
But Samael just nodded.
"I'm ready."
Albert nodded respectfully, then lowered Samael off the wall with the help of the Armored Puppet.
The black-haired man clenched his spear and stared at the ever-expanding army of the undead below, a fire burning in his heart.
Although he can't do the same as Commander Kunali, at least he can move forward without flinching!
Breathing the Wind Tearing -
"[Wind King's Warhammer]!" (To be continued......)
