Chapter 169: The Lich King Retreats
The Lich King stood in front of the Kedra level, the winged undead black dragon was behind the Lich King, and although Kedra was still heavily guarded, he exuded a resolute death. The Lich King jumped on the black dragon's head and held up Frost's Sorrow, "Attack! The Lich King said indifferently.
Countless undead and monsters roared and began to rush towards the Kedra level. Geraint raised his right hand, ......and the soldiers raised their bows and arrows in response, raising them 45 degrees, and the range of the bows thrown at this angle would be maximized. "Shoot the arrows!" All the arrows were off the string in an instant, and the thrown arrows rose in the air, flew to the top of the height, began to descend, and finally pierced the hearts of the monsters.
The monsters were shot down in a large area, but the undead in front of the monsters were getting closer and closer. Seeing that the undead were about to reach the bottom of the tower, Geraint immediately ordered the trebuchet behind the tower to "light the fire and release it freely." "The soldiers operating the trebuchet got to work, one preparing the projectile, one holding a torch to light the fire, and two of them were responsible for powering the trebuchet.
One by one, the flaming projectiles immediately flew out of the level and smashed right on the incendiary objects in front of the undead, forming a wall of fire outside the level. The undead rushed forward regardless of life and death, and the incendiary objects were also carried under the walls of Kaidra by the undead who had already been ignited.
Bescord then said, "Not good! "It turned out that they had set up five lines of fire outside the city walls, but those undead became igniters, and they directly ignited all five lines of fire. The Lich King suddenly ordered, "Collect the troops!" Seeing that the undead who had not yet been ignited quickly retreated, and the monsters immediately left the range of bows and arrows on the city wall, Geraint immediately shouted to the soldiers in the city: "Very good, we have repelled the first attack of the Lich King, everyone work hard, we must make it impossible for the Lich King to enter the Kaidra level." ”
I have to say that Geraint's trick is really powerful, and it instantly boosted the morale of the soldiers, but the problems he is facing now are getting bigger and bigger. Geraint was certain that as long as the fire below was extinguished, and he didn't even have to wait for it to be completely extinguished, the Lich King would attack again.
Gerantte suddenly felt a lot of pressure and quietly touched his dragon jade. No one else noticed his small movements, but Aljeta saw it, "Brother! Geraint gently waved his hand and motioned for Aljeta not to speak. At this moment, from behind the Kedra level, a green figure ran in. The figure paused for a moment and realized that the heroes were all on the castle tower.
Nervin seemed to sense something, and looked behind him, and it turned out to be Riya. Liya ran up to the city tower and said with some breath: "I have sent Zheng Hao to Future Island, two days ago, he has already gone to the Dark Mountain Range, according to Zheng Hao, from two days ago, as long as we can resist until dawn tomorrow, the Lich King will withdraw, and then we can fight the Lich King's army in the Divine Heaven with Zheng Hao." ”
Geraint thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Send wood from the rear immediately, we need to make the flames outside the Kedra level burn more violently, and at the same time, order all civilians to withdraw from the Kedra level......" Bethcord immediately stopped: "Geraint, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
Geraint looked at Bethcord and said, "We don't have a better way now, do we?" I can only believe Zheng Hao, if they fail to withdraw the army, then it means that we have no choice. Geraint's words made the hearts of all the heroes darken, and they had to admit that what Geraint said was the truth.
The flames outside the Kedra level were blazing, blocking the Lich King's attack, and the Lich King was naturally not in a hurry, he thought that the people here were just dying and struggling, in the eyes of the Lich King, "Let people enjoy the fear before death is the greatest gift that the Lich King can give people." ”
The flames of Kedra continued to burn from afternoon to midnight, and in three hours it was dawn. But the Lich King's patience seemed to have been burned out, and midnight was when the undead and monsters were at their most active, and the Lich King raised Frost Grief and swung a sword light at the flames in front of him. The Lich King controlled it well, only forming a frost in front of the Kedra level and extinguishing the flames, while the Kedra level was not affected by the frost in the slightest.
The Lich King raised his index finger and pointed forward, and Geraint immediately ordered to prepare to release the arrows, seeing that the monsters were about to enter the shooting range, just as Geraint gave the order to say "release ......", I saw that all the undead and monsters retreated like a tide. Some of the soldiers didn't control it, and the arrows in their hands had been released, but they didn't shoot down the monsters, but only shot at the retreating undead, and they could only watch the undead retreat with the arrows they shot out.
It turned out that just after the Lich King ordered the attack, a monster rushed to the Lich King from behind, and this monster was naturally deliberately released by Zheng Hao to report the news. No matter which commander he is, after knowing that his lair has been terminated and that the other party has at least 700,000 troops, his first thought is to shrink his forces. Of course, if you don't do that, it only means that the commander is either an out-and-out fool or a highly qualified military strategist.
Faced with this choice, the Lich King's first thought was to destroy the town of Kedra first, but soon, the Longtongue Bat brought the second news that the terrifying army of 700,000 had approached the Divine Heaven. The Lich King immediately changed his mind, the Dark Mountain Range is okay, after all, the products are not abundant, but if the Divine Heaven is also occupied by Zheng Hao, then even if he takes the Kedra level, it will be useless. As a result, the Lich King immediately ordered all the monsters and undead to retreat to the Sacred Heaven.
Everyone at the Kaidra level looked at the strange scene in front of them, and the heroes naturally knew that it was Zheng Hao who led the army to the Lich King's lair, and even began to go to the Sacred Heaven. But the soldiers did not know this, and when they saw the monsters retreating, they all cheered: "We have tried!" ”
