Chapter 550: Big Deals
The rain washed over Fort Traque, and puffs of water vapor filled the air. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As the strongest castle ever built by the Tasmans, the walls of Trak have stood in the rain for more than a hundred years. Due to the drainage system and waterproofing measures in place, there has been no collapse of the city wall so far. But even so, in front of the army of the undead, no one dared to pat their chests and say that they would definitely be able to hold it.
Kurka, the leader of the "rebels", has been in a very bad mood lately. Because most of their soldiers were untrained, they showed an unusual "speed of defeat" when facing the undead. Obviously, the city wall that could be defended after gritting his teeth for a while was stunned because many people were frightened and fled and finally lost - Kurka later simply organized a very high proportion of overseers to supervise the battle, and any retreating ones were killed on the spot, which slowed down the collapse of morale a little.
He didn't know how to fight, but after fighting for so long, he quickly learned enough knowledge with a flexible brain. Coordinating the plan and dispatching the logistics, the 50,000-strong army under his command is now even coordinated and orderly.
However, under the situation of 20,000 undead army pressing step by step, no matter how great Kurka's ability is, he can only retreat.
Originally, Kurka could hold out for a few more days in the forts on the front line, but Dasco suddenly received a death order, telling him to pull all the people he could mobilize to "Fort Traque" by today, on the grounds that Dasco had found reinforcements that could determine the outcome of the battle at once.
Now that all has been said, there is no reason for Kurka not to cooperate, and now he has finally saved most of his main force in the castle after paying the price of more than 5,000 deaths. However, because the undead cut off the logistics line, the castle that did not store food in advance could only hold on for ten days.
In other words, there is no winner in ten days, and Kurka will either suffocate here, or he can only choose to break through.
"In this case, how many reinforcements will be useful?"
Kurka grew impatient with Dasco's orders. The other party only commanded a few thousand undead, how can it compare to himself who always commands an army of 50,000?
With a lot of power in his hands and no one to check on him, Kurka's ambitions naturally spread. More than once he fantasized about replacing Dasco as the supreme leader of the entire rebel army. But thinking of those necromancers, he could only forcibly suppress this impulse - although there are also "magicians" in the human beings within the Tasman, the most powerful of these mages who are blind in the "sheepfold" are only at the level 3 level, and they are really not on the table.
"They have attacked, and the walls are ready to meet the enemy!"
Looking at the army of the undead slowly approaching in the rain, Kurka felt that he had no hope of victory. Because the original army of 20,000 undead has been expanded by more than 60,000 undead creatures with the help of the opposing necromancer, and as long as the main army is here for a day, the number of these undead creatures will only increase, not decrease.
The towering walls were filled with armed soldiers, who had given up their inaccurate arrows in the rain and instead kept aiming their trebuchets at the approaching ladders in the distance.
The first batch of the undead army pressed more than 10,000 people. Among them, low-level cannon fodder zombies are mixed with the vast majority, and it is obvious that they are there to drain the physical strength of the defenders. Kurka was accustomed to these routines of the undead, but the more he understood, the more uncertain he became...
If the reinforcements hadn't arrived in time, he probably wouldn't have had the chance to gather so many soldiers again...
"Have people keep an eye on the walls and let me know if there's anything unusual. ”
"Yes, Lord Kurka!"
As the order was passed down, Kurka, who was standing at the top of the inner city, sighed and turned to look behind him at the city that housed the civilians—the crowd of people was waiting with sad faces. Morale was extremely low after nearly 10,000 deaths, and although the city was strong and had high walls, the terrain in the middle and high around it made it difficult for them to break through.
Either hold until the enemy retreats, or grit your teeth and abandon most of the old and weak women and children to forcibly break through... Kurka pursed his lips and thought about his retreat, but suddenly Dasco's voice came from behind him:
"Success or failure is today. ”
Kurka frowned slightly, turned around and said, "But I don't see the possibility of success." So far, not a single reinforcement has appeared, are we just waiting here to die?"
"Since it is agreed today, then it will be today. ”
Dasco shook his head, not intending to explain anything - to be honest, he wondered what Roddy was up to, and if it weren't for the fact that his people had been in contact with Roddy all these days and had received a positive answer, he would have been as flustered as Kurka today.
But when will reinforcements come, and how many?
This was never revealed by Roddy, and Dasco could only reply.
The two of them stood at the bottom of the city wall and looked down, the mighty army of undead creatures was like an overwhelming black ant on the earth, and they still used the simplest ant-attached siege tactics, with skeleton soldiers as the main force to climb the city wall by means of cloud ladders.
The defenders fought back, and the broken skeletons fell into the dust like dumplings, but the black-pressed army never retreated. Even though the wall was nearly twenty meters away, more and more skeleton soldiers still gradually climbed to the wall...
"Infantry Squad! Solve the trouble on the city wall!"
Melee troops have begun to put out fires back and forth on the walls, but the undead army is attacking more fiercely than expected... From morning to afternoon, the intensity of the attack is getting higher and higher!
When the sixth army of the undead came like a tidal wave, Kurka finally couldn't stand still-
"They are planning to fight quickly! Those necromancers are desperately summoning undead creatures to attack with their mana, you look at the number of skeleton soldiers in this wave, the total number of troops they have invested has exceeded 80,000! We can't withstand it at all!"
"Do you think the 'Awoken' didn't give?"
Dasco pointed in the distance, and the undead troops accumulated by Tarkris and others over the past few days directly attacked the siege troops from the rear, and the "charged cavalry spears" held by those undead knights instantly blew up more than a thousand skeleton infantry, and immediately relieved the pressure on the city wall after rushing all the way.
However, there can only be two such charges, and the "Charged Riding Spear" will be completely invalidated after the hedron is used, and the spar can only be used as an ordinary riding spear without the hedron. So after another group of skeleton armies poured in, all the efforts just now suddenly became useless work to "raise the soup and stop the boiling"...
Kurka and Dasco were silent at this time, the two had obviously lost any hole cards, and now the only hope could only be pinned on the "reinforcements" promised by Roddy.
"It's all a trap!"
After the wall was finally breached, Kurka couldn't help but curse, wanting to hold Dasco accountable, but he understood that it didn't mean anything, so he could only stare at the undead in front of him, hoping that he could give an explanation.
Without waiting for Dasco to answer, both of them heard a low roar coming from the edge of the sky...
The continuous, continuous sound sounded like thunder, but there was no lightning around - the muffled sound of "boom boom" lasted for more than a minute in the drizzle, which lasted for more than a minute.
"It's... What?"
"Is that what you're aiming for?, but I don't see any hope that this castle will be able to resist success unless we let us do it. ”
Kardashian stood beside Roddy, a pair of beautiful eyes suddenly turned to stare at him, and suddenly said, "You cunning human, you shouldn't have come here to cheat us, right?"
It is also strange to say that the dragon clan is arrogant, but once you feel that you are "reliable", you will no longer have that kind of domineering oppression when you speak, but will show a comfortable temperament. This situation is also reflected in Merlensera, what Roddy didn't expect was that Kardashian behaved more obviously - such an interrogation was actually treating him as a friend.
Luo Di smiled bitterly in his heart, sighing why this girl is so stupid.
"I said before that I would bring three of your Excellency to watch a good show. If you are asked to make a move, then what else is there to see?"
He shrugged his shoulders innocently, but what he said made Kardashian very useful. She looked left and right, and felt that the halfway up the mountain was really desolate, and it was boring to wait, so she walked back and forth a few steps impatiently. Seeing this, Roddy hurriedly glanced at Merinthera, who was standing next to him, and although the latter was unhappy, he still obediently cast a spell to condense the dead branches around him into three wide armchairs.
"Right now, your Excellency, please wait. ”
Roddy's meticulous care made Kardashian look at Roddy more and more pleasing to the eye, she waved her hand and said: "You guy really has a lot of ghost thoughts, if I have a mission to go to the Cullen Kingdom, I really have to go to your city to sit down." Truth be told, none of the other humans I've met have been as sharp as you. ”
Kardashian said this entirely because she heard Roddy bring up the trap against Augustine yesterday. She and Iskar both have a consensus: although the human in front of them is not strong, they can't compare to the young dragons when they dig up traps.
The careful logic and plan made the three dragons finally agree after several discussions, so they were willing to spend time to watch Roddy's so-called "extermination of the army of the undead" plan - if they didn't trust Roddy, where would they fly to the middle of the Tasman?
It faces Fort Trak in the distance, about 10 kilometers away. Because of the rain, the huge castle loomed in view, and from this angle, you could see from the side that the dense undead army was launching a general attack.
Roddy had already sent a signal to the surrounding mountains, and after waiting for half a minute, a violent explosion and a series of vibrations finally came as expected, causing several dragons to stand up in surprise!
"Explosion? It's the fluctuation of the circle..."
Kardashian's magic detection instantly locked on the mountains of the fourth place, and with her strength, she knew what was going on without confirming it with the naked eye, but it was precisely because of this that the dragon's eyes suddenly widened: "Are you going to... How is this possible!?"
Iskar had already guessed what Roddy was going to do, and although he tried to control his emotions, he couldn't help but say out, "You handicap... It's not small. ”
Only the crystal dragon Essin was silent, but his gaze slowly focused on Roddy's body - obviously, this seemingly inconspicuous human... Finally there was something worth his attention. (To be continued.) )
