Chapter 63 Defeat

Time passed slowly, and the invasion of the Orthodox Cross Diocese by the Realm of the Dead had reached its sixth day.

From the posts on the discussion board and the intelligence network of Rox, Sioux City learned accurate information that ordinary players could not know, and also had a more realistic and clear understanding of the military capabilities of the Undead Realm.

At least, compared to the people who watched the flowers in the fog, Sioux City knew on the fourth day that the thunderous invasion of the Undead Realm was under the command of that commander.

Former fourth-rank commander title holder, current first commander of the Tree Sea Front in the realm of the dead, and Viscount Donner's most loyal blood servant - Aven. Rommet.

According to the information, during Rommet's lifetime, he was the cavalry commander of the Orthodox Cross diocese who was the most skilled in mobile warfare. In countless encounters with the realm of the undead, he used flexible cavalry tactics to defeat his opponents, and was called a hound by the realm of the undead, who was good at finding the enemy's weaknesses and amplifying his mistakes with lightning-fast attacks, thus killing the enemy.

And although he became the blood servant of the powerful Viscount Donner for unknown reasons, this still did not detract from his essence as a good soldier. At least in Sioux City's view, in this blitzkrieg against the Upper Cross Diocese, Rommet's aggressive command was completely revealed, allowing the undead to get the greatest results in a short period of time.

These six short days will probably be the darkest six days in the Orthodox Cross Diocese.

In fact, before this premeditated blitzkrieg, no one could have imagined that the combination of sniper units and elite troops would put such terrifying pressure on the defenders in town and mountain warfare.

It's just because in the past wars, the identity of the sniper unit was somewhat ambiguous. In the war between the realm of the dead and the Orthodox Crucifixion, both sides rarely reach the town mountain battle, and are mostly inclined to legionary charges, groups of archers. Even in town and mountain warfare, archers are more often used as a means of blocking the enemy's movement and shaking their minds, similar to a low-cost magic attack.

However, when the new Strongbow of the Undead was born, its precise and powerful attacks, as well as the undead's habit of being dark, made it inexplicably powerful on small battlefields.

Not only did all the counterattacks of the Orthodox Cross diocese turn into foolish moves, but the average number of kills per strongbow user of nineteen made all doubts disappear.

Even now, most analysts agree that the firing force will henceforth be divided into two types. One is the traditional archers of group combat, and the other is the sniper units of the Undead Realm that use new strongbows.

And it stands to reason that, under the pressure of various new weapons and tactics in the realm of the dead, the Orthodox Cross Diocese has shown what it means to be defeated.

Starting from the area along the Sea of Trees, all the lands that have been trodden by the realm of the undead have fallen into their hands without exception. And they didn't go beyond Sioux City's understanding of the way the realm of the undead acted, everywhere they passed, no grass was growing, whether it was humans or demonic beasts, they were all killed, and the smell of blood was almost like a substance in the sky, making the sky dye bright red.

In the past six days, the overwhelming realm of the undead has broken through the territory of nine border barons in a row. Although it seems that only the nine lowest nobles have been defeated, in fact, the size of the nobleman's title in the Orthodox Cross diocese is actually only the merit of his ancestors, or the merit of his former state, and has nothing to do with the size and strength of the territory.

In other words, even if there is a gap in titles between the lords of the Orthodox Cross Sect, the actual strength may be similar. It was also because the title did not have an upper limit of strength and territory, which instantly made the defeat of the nine border barons extremely strict.

At least Sioux City knew that five of the nine border barons were actually equal in strength to the viscount. They all had about thirty professionals under their command, and the strength of the army was two or three thousand. Although it is not too much, it has always been known as a good soldier who often goes to the battlefield to fight, and can fight even against the realm of the undead.

But in this blitzkrieg in the realm of the undead, there was only one battle that really made the realm of the undead mispredicted, even until now.

And although the players in the Undead Realm in the discussion area were unanimously silent about the war, from the information given by the Iron Man, Sioux City still knew that the Baron who made Rommette expect to be wrong was Baron Gaujo of the White Limestone Collar.

Twenty-eight elite fiefdom knights, four direct family mages, six Orthodox Cross battle priests, 1,700 war veterans, 1,800 strong elite soldiers who work as farmers on weekdays, a total of 38 professionals and 3,500 brave warriors.

It is these thousands of people who have dragged the rapidly advancing kingdom of the undead into a group of fortresses in a precarious position.

The battle that broke out in the center of the white limestone realm began in the towns around the fortress, and the Baron Goyo, who was confident in his own strength, launched a bloody and silent town battle against the other party. Soon, however, after clearly understanding the strength of the realm of the undead in the naked results of the battle, Baron Gauyo had no choice but to pay hundreds of lives and retreat his troops into the continuous fortress complex.

It is worth mentioning that in order to give his troops the ability to fight with a big picture and use tactics according to the actual situation, Rommette unexpectedly disregarded his own safety and followed the army all the way.

From this move, Sioux City can also see that Rommette is the kind of person - an actor who believes that immediate command is better than perfect planning. In fact, the more perfect the plan, the less elastic and flexible it is, and this situation is definitely not to the liking of a commander who values actual combat.

There is no such thing as a real war on paper, and more important than a "seeming" perfect plan is a swift and appropriate tactic.

According to Rox's intelligence, Rommette, who was with the army, initially thought that Baron Gaujo, who was guarding the fortress, was not to be feared, but after a short time of fighting, the situation was not the same as what they had encountered these days.

In fact, the informant, who was a core member of the war, pointed out that in the military council, Rommette had revealed his disappointment with the Orthodox Cross Diocese in his speeches, and if it were not for his excellent military nature that made him restrain himself, he would probably have abandoned his previous more conservative strategic goals and directly led the Guards to play the familiar mobile blitzkrieg.

In the military council, Rommette even suggested on more than one occasion that the border barons of the Orthodox Cross Diocese, whose territories were the same size as the viscountdoms, and who were not inferior even to the wealthy Cheng Dù, were simply some garbage that even the powerful barons of the undead could not resist.

Their so-called elite warriors are not only not brave, but also greedy for life and fear death, and many times they have broken down and fled after the first contact.

This is true even for the professionals, who are the backbone of the army, not only those who surrender, but also those who abandon their soldiers and retreat. In Rommet's eyes, this kind of intensity of battle, not to mention the real elites in his hands, even a baron with real power can easily deal with it.

However, to Sioux City's pity, because the informant was sent to support elsewhere, he did not receive detailed information on the exact situation of Baron Goyo's battle.

In the end, the result was that Baron Gauyo's fortress complex succeeded in preventing the kingdom of the dead for two days, but at the cost of the entire family being hanged and burned. The charred black bodies of more than thirty noble bodies were neatly arranged and placed in front of the pit where thirty-eight professionals and more than three thousand warriors were buried.

After the first battle, all the members died in battle and none surrendered.

It's just that although this can let everyone see the true combat power of the Orthodox Cross Diocese, and also makes Rommet, who looks down on the Orthodox Cross Diocese, suffer a small loss, but that's all.

From the beginning to the end, the momentum of the rout did not change at all.
