409 War of the Dead, please eat hot pot at night!
A loud and rapid trumpet sounded, and soldiers poured out of their tents with their equipment and weapons in tow, helping each other to put on them.
Before that, the officers and adventurers had already taken action, and their personal assistants had issued voice commands from the dispatch center of the front command in advance. The dispatchers were basically receptionists from the previous adventurer service center, and they gave a report on the battle situation in a sweet voice and explained the tasks of their units.
Dekker took his Poplar squad up the stone wall and texted his sister in Beta. This has become a habit, and if something happens, you can leave more memories for your sister.
It's a pity that the voice communication function of the Avatar Assistant (an upgraded version of the Adventurer's Assistant) is now under military control, and it is not possible to talk to each other personally, otherwise Dakker would really want to talk to his sister more.
It's good to be able to send text messages......
Thinking about his previous adventure career, dying in a treacherous place that no one knows, Deke laughed at himself, he was too greedy.
He explained the task to the team members: "The undead who came today are much stronger than yesterday, and our task is to assist the 115th Army Corps in the defense of the 115th Section, focusing on air defense. ”
The team members looked at the soldiers who were still in the group under the wall and talked about it.
"The 115th Legion, the new legion where the soldiers are all civilians?"
"I heard that it only arrived five days ago, and now it's pulling up?"
"Cannon fodder, a little bit of energy consumption is a little bit of a low-level undead. ”
"It's going to be a river of blood today, and it seems that Beta City is about to run out of support, so we have to think about the future. ”
There are apprehensions, some pity, and some disdain, corresponding to the chaotic thoughts that are tumbling in Dake's heart.
One of the team members suddenly exclaimed, "Look, their weapons and equipment are the same as ours!"
Dakker looked at it and gasped.
Starting from the first two days, the Fei Gong distributed weapons and equipment free of charge to all adventurers who participated in the war. Despite the rudimentary armor and weapons of short weapons such as knives and cards, Bronze Armor and Mithril weapons are still valuable items for most adventurers.
Even adventurers with more advanced equipment are welcome. After all, the heirlooms on their bodies don't have super magic attributes that never wear out, and they already have replacements, so it would be better to have one more set.
At that time, the Fei Gong also announced that the damaged equipment could be replaced with a new one at any time, which meant that this equipment was not valuable. But the adventurers still couldn't believe that copper and even Mithril equipment had become so cheap.
Now, the facts are in front of you, and the civilian soldiers are all equipped with magic guides.
A member of the team touched the Mithril knife on his waist in frustration: "I thought this thing could be an heirloom, but it turned out to be a big road." ”
Seventeen paragraphs of a long voice came from the companion: "Adventurer in place!"
beckoned the team members to the battle position, and seeing that the player who said cannon fodder was still in a daze, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Even if it is cannon fodder, with this equipment, it can be burned for a while." ”
Coming to the area marked with the word "Seventeen", the adventurers gathered in front of Duan Chang.
"The undead have lost confidence in attacking the Miracle Fortress, and are trying to break through the North and South Wing Fortress and surround the Miracle Fortress! Compared to the previous battle, there are several times more low-level undead! The high-level undead such as the Death Knight, the Bitter Bone Mage, the Abomination, the Banshee, and the Two-Headed Bone Dragon will also appear! Today is a tough battle!"
Duan Chang repeated the enemy report that everyone had received, they were here at the North Wing Fort, a kilometer away from the Miracle Fortress in front, under the Purification Barrier of the Miracle Fortress.
Viewed from the air, the battlefield is a circular area centered on the Miracle Fort with a radius of about three or four kilometers. The dimensional rift was in the western valley two kilometers away from the Miracle Fortress, just within the range of the purification enchantment, and the undead aura overflowing from the dimensional rift was tightly suppressed.
At first, the undead were completely stuffy and charged towards the Miracle Fortress, but after the dragon general named Naskorn appeared, the attack began to take shape, and he knew that he would stretch out to the wings and launch an organized attack.
For this reason, Fei Gong continued to expand his defenses along the long wall east of the Miracle Fortress, and built two wing forts in the north and south to block the attack of the undead.
In the past few days, the undead's offensive on both flanks was not violent, but more about stretching their forces and moving out of territory for more undead to enter the main plane from the gap in the plane. Today's trend has changed, and it is no wonder that Fei Gong hurriedly pulled up the new legion.
"We have also gained new forces, and the 115th Legion will fight side by side with us. They're just civilians, but you've seen the equipment, and there's no problem with dealing with the low-level undead who climb the wall, and you can concentrate on dealing with the glaring guys. ”
Duan Chang is a Cheandia holy warrior, although his rank is not high, but his voice is very loud.
"I know that many of you are nervous, afraid. I don't blame you for this, compared to the Ninety-Eighth Legion in the Miracle Fortress, you are a rabble!"
Hearing Duan Chang say this, and the other captains all laughed, and there was no negative emotion in the laughter.
A certain captain said lazily: "Duan Chang, don't use the radical method anymore, the previous Duan Chang also said the same, it's all a routine." ”
Duan Chang glared and blew his beard: "The hippie smile can't deny the facts!"
He said again in a high-spirited manner: "Since there is no need to provoke the generals, then I will blow you up." You've been fighting here for five days, and you've not backed down! You're a rabble, but you're growing! You're becoming a strong collective!"
"I won't say anything about glory or anything like that, but I don't believe you're just standing here for the sake of risk points. In addition to the reward, you are always thinking about something. I don't know what it is, I just know that leaving your comrades, turning your back on the undead, and escaping in disgrace is definitely not what you are willing to do!"
"That's right!"
"That's for sure!"
"I'm sure I'm not going to run until all my teammates are dead!"
The adventurers responded with a giggle, and there was more or less sincerity in their joking tones.
Duan Chang raised his voice: "In short, we will never let the undead succeed!"
Without the priest's charisma and blessing, the flames of battle were already burning in people's hearts, not vigorous, but enough to dispel the previous anxiety.
At this time, the legionnaires were also in place, and although these civilians were wearing bronze armor and holding Mithril weapons, their faces were still pale with nervousness.
was a little worried that these soldiers would greatly lower the morale of the adventurers, and Duan Chang also walked over to their officers, wanting to do some ideological work, and his crisp and melodious voice suddenly echoed throughout the fortress.
"Little Red Riding Hood is broadcasting!"
"Today is another difficult day, the undead have launched an unprecedented offensive, and you will face a difficult challenge for the Crimson warriors, adventurers and soldiers of the Fei Gong!"
"The battles of the past few days have proved that the final victory will definitely be ours! In the whole war, today will only be a very ordinary day! No matter how vicious and powerful the undead are, they will not be able to stop us from eating hot pot in the fortress at night!"
It was Fei Gong's announcer Xiaohong, and now she has almost replaced Aurora and won the love of everyone on the Godfall Plateau.
Dekker looked back with the others and looked at the huge mirage screen hanging from the fortress. The beautiful little girl in the red dress and red hat on the screen is waving her fists to cheer everyone on.
Everyone swallowed their spit, what did they hear?
On the first day of building the Miracle Fortress and defeating the undead, Beta City provided a hot pot with a taste that seems to remain on the tip of the tongue to this day.
"That's right! Today, the rear has specially prepared a sumptuous hot pot dinner for everyone, everyone fights bravely and strives to win!"
Xiaohong said with full of vitality: "I look forward to seeing everyone's heroic posture, and the goddess is also looking forward to it! The beautiful and wise, elegant and dignified, and benevolent and selfless goddess is fighting with you!"
As if echoing Red's words, a little silvery light lit up from above the Miracle Fortress, rising into the air like a star, and then dispersed into the barrier, creating a circle of clearly visible ripples.
Everyone's heart wants to be swept by a fresh and cool breeze, and then they feel that their vision is clearer, their minds are clearer, and their qi and blood are smoother. In the light of body and mind, the bubbling heat gushes out of the heart, and people feel that their whole body is full of strength.
Duan Commander and the officers shouted loudly: "Prepare for battle——!"
The movements of the civilian soldiers were much sharper, and the hands holding the weapons became steady.
Dake turned around, looked at the approaching tide of gray and brown in the distance, and muttered in a low voice, "Come on, undead scum!"
..................
The battle was indeed hard, but with the mobilization of Duan Chang and the cheering of Xiaohong, the adventurers and legionnaires withstood the initial fierce tide and gradually adapted to the more fierce rhythm of the battle.
Skeleton soldiers continued to pour up the stone wall like waves, and the civilian soldiers of the Legion found that their weapons had no way to deal with the armor attached to the hardening technique, and attached to the Mithril weapon of the necromancy, they could easily cut through the bone shield, pierce the skull, and burn the soul fire inside into black smoke, which made them more and more emboldened, and they were able to show their little skill.
Priests from various churches of the Good God patrolled the rear of their respective areas, keeping a close eye on the soldiers. As soon as someone's armor and weapon magic fail, go get one up.
They didn't do it out of mercy, but they would be safer with one more soldier with a magic in the way. Compared with wearing heavy armor, holding a shield, waving the morning star, and fighting hand-to-hand on the front line like the soldiers, it is not only much safer, but also consumes much less divine power.
In the event of a wounded soldier, the Legion Chaplain does not care, and the medical team waiting in the rear will transport the wounded soldier away as soon as possible.
The adventurer's party is scattered across a line of legionnaires, tasked with taking down the high-level undead with magic guns or other ranged weapons. If the level is too high, it must also be contained, and it will be dealt with by a specially organized sniper team.
Most of the snipers use the Finney Precision Marksman version of the magic guide gun dedicated to the members of the Fei Gong, and the bullets are also special models, which is the experience summed up in the battle a few days ago.
Take out the steel nails from the composite bullet and stuff them into the cement soaked in holy water. The bullet pierces into the body of the undead, and the bullet deforms and squeezes out the cement, and the holy water contained in it can damage the soul fire of the undead. It is not uncommon to see a high-level undead with its head tilted forward and backwards, splashing a little black smoke, which is the scene of the sniper's fire.
The magic cannon on the turret kept firing huge fireballs, and there were fireballs flying out of the defense line every other section, blasting the undead waves into holes at two distances, although they were quickly filled by other undead, the thickness of the waves was constantly decreasing.
Although the momentum of the undead was extremely fierce, it seemed that the battle situation was still very stable, and when it was almost noon, everyone felt that it was not difficult to persist in eating hot pot until the evening.
At this time, the undead's offensive began to change a little.
Bitterbone mages and archers gather into several firing points to focus on attacking the turret.
The Death Knight, with his skeleton cavalry, constantly launched assaults on the stone wall, which was only five or six meters high.
The powerful Zombie Lord slammed his body into the stone wall, so that the defenders could no longer cower comfortably behind the battlements, and had to probe and attack under the wall.
Banshees and two-headed skulls are no longer scattered at random, attacking alone, but cooperating with the undead on the ground to suppress snipers and turrets.
These changes only increased the pressure on the defensive line, and when the undead began to deceive, the defenders did not react for a moment.
A group of seemingly ordinary skeletons approached the stone wall, all of them busy dealing with high-level undead and aerial enemies, and didn't pay much attention to this wave of miscellaneous soldiers.
Unexpectedly, a group of skeleton cavalry emerged from this group of skeleton soldiers, and the leading Death Knight rode up to the wall and crashed into a group of legionnaires, and's heart almost stopped beating nearby.
The golden holy light of the Evil Slash slashed at the Death Knight's body, but only a piece of bone fell.
watched as Duan Chang rushed forward, but was buried under the horse's hooves by the skeleton cavalry who followed up the wall. He only felt bitter in his mouth, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
The nearby snipers desperately intercepted, and the group of cavalry had a little bone scrap and black smoke on their heads, but the fire was too sparse to stop it.
The officers took the lead and led their soldiers to flank from both sides in an attempt to close the gap. Several banshees flew from nearby, and the weakened version of the banshee's howl, although not enough to kill a large number of mortals, was enough to make the civilians near the gap unconscious and fall to the ground, and the souls of the low-level transcendents were scattered.
Looking at the rear, several huge abominations were slowly approaching the gap under the bombardment of the magic cannons, and it was clear that this was a well-planned assault.
was pressed down by several soldiers who didn't know if they were unconscious or dead, hesitating whether to play dead or continue the fight with the magic guide gun in his hand.
Now the gap can only be closed by high-level transcendentals, but unfortunately, there are no too powerful transcendents in the north and south wings.
After all, he is just a mortal, Dekker regretfully thought, the gap in strength is too big, no matter how brave and fearless, he can't fill such a gap.
The warm white light suddenly flickered, and I heard an angry shout: "Holy light—slash!"
The arc of light slammed into the undead who had already jumped off the stone wall and into the interior of the fortress. The leading Death Knight and the large group of bitter bone cavalry behind him let out a sharp cry of sorrow, bursting with large bone chips.
Is that......
Dake wanted to cheer loudly, it was Sir Donn who had come with the legion! Goddess forbid, there are still high-ranking transcendents here.
"Today is the day my Kevin Towne's name is engraved on this fortress!"
Don stood alone in front of the gap, facing the countless undead, and muttered to himself with a solemn expression, "Theresia ...... Your Majesty, I will prove my loyalty here, I will abide by the duty you have entrusted to me, and I will give my life to you, to Kem!"
In the sky of bone chips, the death knight without his mount roared and rushed out, the big sword in his hand diffused a rich black qi, obviously an extremely powerful existence. Behind it, the undead poured down from the stone walls like a torrent.
At this moment, in front of them, there is only one Kevin Towne.
"Evil undead, let you taste the wrath of Kem——!"
Tang En shouted, crouched slightly, and was about to cast the embodiment of loyalty, when someone behind him shouted, "Get out of there!"
Tang En subconsciously turned his head, and the sight that caught his eyes made the tragic aura that filled his whole body swoop away.
A few dozen meters behind him, several strange things ran over.
It can no longer be said to be weird, but absurd.
The burly puppet, about two meters tall and three meters wide, runs with small steps. A narrow crystal is embedded in the puppet's chest, and through the crystal, you can see that there is a person's head shaking inside!
There are people in the puppets, and that's not the most surprising.
When the puppet turned around and turned to the side of Donn and the stone wall, he saw a carriage connected to the back of its body. The people and things in the carriage were ignored for the time being, and only a puppet was seen behind the carriage.
The sense of absurdity comes more from the puppet, which has no head, no torso, only two legs on top of the carriage.
Not to mention Donn, even on the stone wall, when he saw this thing, the first thing that came to mind was the horse that two people pretended to be.
"Dodge the ——!"
The people in the carriage shouted at Tang En again, and seeing a magic guide gun magnified several times aimed in his direction, Tang En subconsciously retreated again and again.
Then Donn and Dakker were dumbfounded......
In the strange roar of whining, the magic spear that stood on the stand and was controlled by two people spewed out a fierce blue flame.
The body of the Death Knight who rushed to the front exploded with bone chips, as if he had hit his head against a continuous torrent, and his body that had been rushing backwards and regressed.
The Death Knight let out an even more angry roar, slamming his greatsword in front of him, still struggling to move forward.
The sword was splashed with crackling sparks, and in less than two seconds, it cracked. The rain of bullets swept the Death Knight's head, like a plaster cast being struck by a chisel, shattering pieces in pieces.
Two seconds later, the Death Knight fell on his back, its head gone, and its soul fire flew into the sky, screaming in fear in the purification barrier.
The blue light extended to the rear and fired, at which point two more puppet cars (?) stopped, and three bullets swept the gap at the same time.
There was a crackling sound, and the bones of the undead that poured down the stone wall shattered, and the soul fire splattered.
Watching the skeleton monsters fall, Deke subconsciously thought of the rye field he planted.
At harvest time, the wheat stalks also fell down in pieces.
In just a few moments, the undead who rushed down the stone wall were swept away, and the torrent of bullets continued to extend to the stone wall.
Don watched from the side with a blank expression, and the next sight made his cheeks twitch again.
One of the golem carts continued to close the gap, the other strafed into the air, one banshee screaming and falling, and the others drifting away in panic. The other ran under the stone wall, and the puppet that formed the front part jumped suddenly, grabbed the edge of the wall with his arms, and cooperated with the two legs behind the carriage, and climbed up the stone wall.
The puppet car crouches down on its four legs, the carriage touches the ground, and the three men in the car turn their guns and shoot at the undead under the stone wall.
Don looked up, his gaze meeting Dake's.
The two looked at each other, and Tang En touched his head, looking extremely embarrassed.
Dick opened his mouth to say something, and Don hurried away as if he was in a hurry.
He muttered in a low voice, "I didn't hear it just now, I didn't hear anything." ”
Looking beyond the stone wall, strange large magic guide guns also appeared in other areas of the stone wall, rapidly spitting blue flames. The team of abominations approaching the stone wall seemed to be washed by strong acid, the carrion on their bodies was constantly peeling off, and their heads were shaking from side to side, and their fate was doomed.
"What a terrible weapon......"
Dick turned his head to look at the large magic gun in the carriage next to him, and his thoughts went directly over to the happy part, and he was happy for the hot pot in the evening.
