Chapter 599: One Blow Wants to Destroy the City (2-in-1)
Pioneer calendar, 448 year, February 20.
The kingdom's troops, supported by Westdum, have finally arrived.
The army of the Conrad dynasty suffered a defeat under the city of Saint-Bourne, and suffered serious damage, but it was still far from being completely destroyed.
And humanity isn't going to just give up.
To the west of the Saint-Bouren Valley, large swathes of territory are infested with the spirits of the dead. According to population estimates, more than half of the population of the western frontier lives on that land.
In the end, they were all people of the kingdom and were to be saved—of course, to the public.
In fact, everyone knows that they are afraid of bad luck. The worst-case scenario is that those people have already been killed under the iron hoof of the undead.
But despite this, a counteroffensive to regain land is also necessary.
Revenge is on the one hand, and on the other hand, land is a great possession.
Not to mention anything else, in the occupied area, there are almost nine crystal mines under development, and there are dozens of crystal mines that have been explored but have not yet been developed.
This is a vein that can directly mine energy crystals, and the current civilization of mankind is based on these energy crystals.
For the sake of these crystals, it is worth fighting a battle.
What's more, the current situation of the undead army looks a bit bad.
Their losses were too great, and the army suffered huge casualties. In terms of high-end combat power, it was even more miserable, Prince Conrad himself was injured, and among the generals under his command, Levi alone slaughtered four.
Taking advantage of his illness to kill him, if it weren't for the fact that the Holy Cult Army had too few troops and it was difficult to defend the city, Pande, the 'Glorious Overseer', would have rushed out with the paladins a long time ago.
The army that came from the hinterland of the kingdom numbered more than 80,000 warriors. The core army is the Blazing Phoenix Legion. It is worth mentioning that there are also more than 4,000 demon hunters hired in the name of the royal government.
In itself, the energy of the royal government, after the end of the civil war, shifted from war and military to internal affairs and economic construction. In this short period of time, there has been such a big mess in the western realm, and it is already very remarkable that so many people can be mobilized at once.
The commander of the kingdom legion is Wang Ande. At the same time, there were six elemental powerhouses who came together, among which except for Jiang Chengyong, the other five were all demon hunters.
These witchers are led by the 'Mother of Dragons' Madeleine, and there is also an acquaintance of Levi's in them, which is the 'Autumn Leaf Knife' Gu Shiqiu. The other three are the three ordinary element powerhouses.
After resting for a day in St. Bouren, the kingdom's army formed a coalition with the forces of the Holy Church and marched westward on the second day.
Along the way, the battle to regain lost territory was well fought.
With both Levi and Pope Samir doing it at the same time, the undead powerhouse didn't dare to show his face at all—if he did, he wouldn't want to run away.
Soon, before the arrival of March, the entire Western Frontier was almost recovered.
Sure enough, the war between the living and the dead is brutal. After the Western Realm was poisoned, the occupied area was ten rooms and nine empty, and most of the human beings were killed. Even, thinking further, among the civilians who were killed, I am afraid that many of them have been transformed into undead and become cannon fodder for the undead.
Later battles proved this as they did find some zombies in civilian costumes common to the West.
However, later on, they also found that the situation was not as bad as they imagined. In the West, there are still many living people.
Most of these survivors were not on the route of the army of the undead, and although they were also harmed by some small groups of undead, they still survived by resisting and fleeing.
It's also a good thing to have survivors.
The human alliance has specially divided a team, with local demon hunters in the West as guides, regular kingdom troops as escorts, and a small number of Holy Light priests of the Holy Cult to provide medical treatment and solve the methods that the undead may have left behind.
This team will be dedicated to gathering survivors from all over the world and leading them to rebuild their homes.
And the main force of the human alliance did not care about these miscellaneous matters anymore, but combined their forces and went all the way to the west, sweeping everywhere to eliminate those undead.
By the beginning of March, the western territory was basically cleaned up - this also had something to do with the enemy's failure to hold on, otherwise it was just the number of hundreds of thousands of undead troops, and if you want to sweep it away, it will not be possible to do it in ten days and half a month.
After clearing the western frontier, the human coalition regrouped and began to advance towards the Ascikrin Mountains.
Here they met fierce resistance from the undead, and certain difficulties began to arise in the battle.
But all in all, it's not a big problem. The undead took advantage of the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain to set up several lines of defense that were not easy to fight. And also due to the terrain problem, a lot of the heavy firepower of the human legion is difficult to transport, and it is still slowly rushing forward.
It stands to reason that this would be a very serious delay in the attack of the human army.
But this is not the case at all.
Without heavy firepower, without artillery, and with tanks not coming up, what should we do about attacking fortified positions? It's very simple, the elements are strong.
Paladins with four elemental levels or higher, witchers with five or more elements, and two kingdom generals...... This high-end combat power is enough.
As soon as the two elemental powerhouses joined forces, they led the army directly towards the defense line built by the undead. Several element skills bombarded down, no matter how strong the defense line is, it will be kicked out. In the back, the guns and bullets and other firepower cover are in place, and the heavy armored warriors and paladins lead the team to rush up, which is considered done.
By mid-March, the defenses built up by the Legion of the Undead in the Ascikrin Mountains had largely collapsed.
In fact, at first, they didn't understand why the undead were holding on to the Ascikrin Mountains.
However, when they felt that in the mountains, the suppressive array that had been surrounded by clouds for hundreds of years had completely failed, they understood.
After they obtained the direct bloodline of the Hargreaves family and dismantled half of the formations in the mountain range, the demon sealing formations here were no longer so perfect, revealing huge loopholes.
Although, at that time, the magic circle was not completely invalid, and there were still some effects, but now, after the continuous pollution of the undead, the formation has completely lost its effect.
Without the suppression circle, the Asikrin Mountains are no longer what the undead fear. On the contrary, it is a natural barrier due to its topography.
If this mountain range can be controlled, then the undead can retreat to the terrain and defend it, and they can attack the mountain and the human hinterland at any time.
But unfortunately, the human race thinks the same way.
Even without the suppression array, the Ascikrin Mountains have a very important role.
With the vampires occupying this mountain range, how many troops does the kingdom have to place under the mountain to defend it? How much does this military expenditure cost?
This is absolutely unacceptable.
They must retake the mountain range and continue to garrison it on the path they must pass, the Hill of Blood. In this way, it is only necessary to maintain a small army to curb the route of the undead to the east.
Provided, of course, that the kingdom itself cannot be in civil strife. Otherwise, no matter how strong a castle is, it will always be easy to attack from the inside.
Truth be told, if Norsman hadn't drawn too much blood from the West, relying on the Hargreaves' power in the Westside alone would have been enough to hold the Blood Hill. You must know that generally speaking, the Hill of Blood will be resident with two elements, and can be supported by St. Bouron at any time.
……
On March 16, more than 20,000 human troops, as the vanguard, came to the city of the Hill of Blood.
"According to the investigation ......" In the army, Wang Ande said: "At present, the undead army gathered in the Blood Hill has reached more than 50,000. ”
The person he spoke to was Levi.
Seeing that Li Wei didn't seem to be reacting, Wang Ande could only continue: "Our current strength seems to be insufficient. Moreover, unlike before, I can feel that there are at least three undead elemental powerhouses in it. Now, it's just you and me, and Lord Madeleine. Although your strength is strong, I believe that if we attack it, we should be able to capture this fortress, but the casualties are too great......"
Wang Ande chattered so much, but in fact, there was only one meaning in the end, and he suggested: "Otherwise, let's wait for the follow-up troops, especially the Holy Sect Army, to catch up, and then launch an attack on the Blood Hill." It's safer this way, and it's hard to imagine that Prince Conrad himself is in it......"
Hearing him say this, Levi finally had a reaction.
He shook his head and said, "Conrad won't be here." He's not fully recovered from his injuries, and if he's really here, I'd love to. ”
This is not blown.
In the heyday of Conrad, Levi may be a little more afraid, worried that he will be exhausted and picked up by Samir in the back.
But a month earlier, Conrad had lost the Val de Saint-Bouren, and had been wounded quite badly.
In the past month, Levi and Samir had also tried to locate Conrad's location many times and chased him, although they were unsuccessful, but they did not let the vampire prince have a good life.
So, a month had passed, and the vampire prince's injuries had not only not improved much, but had probably been worse than when he had retreated from St. Boren.
In this case, Conrad dares to come out and fight him?
Levi didn't believe it.
If that happens, that's fine. As long as that old monster doesn't run, Levi is sure that he can defeat the other party without even 'waking up'.
Seeing that Wang Ande didn't look confident, Li Wei comforted: "Don't worry too much, wait for me to go first, you just look at the situation and command the troops." Anyway, you are the commander of the legion, you are the commander-in-chief, you can fight if you feel that you can, and if you can't, you don't need to fight. ”
"Really?" Wang Ande said, "Then I really don't care about you." ”
"Well, don't worry about it."
With that, Levi patted him on the shoulder, and then walked forward.
Looking at Levi's back, Wang Ande shook his head.
He admits that Levi is strong, but he doesn't think that he can stand up to a large army with one man.
Not to mention, in the army opposite, there are three elemental powerhouses.
At the same time, he also made up his mind in his heart to wait and see what Levi was going to do.
Anyway, he would never easily rush up with his own soldiers to die because of Levi's words.
After a while, a strong wind blew. From the middle of the formation, a pale cyan flying dragon soared.
It is a beautiful creature, although it can be recognized as a dragon at a glance, but there is still a certain difference from the hideous appearance of the dragon in people's impressions, especially the slender and elegant beauty, which is even more memorable.
In front of tens of thousands of people, Levi rode Olisses and soared.
In mid-air, there was a sudden explosion!
Thunder in the daytime!
In the sky, a large area of thunder appeared on the soaring dragon.
Then, this majestic thunder power enveloped the entire dragon's body. In the blink of an eye, the size of the wind dragon itself was already very huge, and it had grown several times larger again.
It was as if he had become a thunder dragon.
Wang Ande felt that on the head of the city of the Blood Hill, three strong energy reactions appeared. This should be the elemental masters among vampires, and Levi will inevitably attract their attention if he makes such a big move.
The three elements clearly sensed a sense of impending calamity.
The three of them worked together, and the evil energy came together. They hoped that they could work together to resist Levi's next attack.
With the ability of the three of them, if they were to deal with Levi alone, it would be impossible to have the courage to resist, and it was a serious matter to run away separately to see if one of them could be lucky.
But now, looking at Levi's appearance, it seems that he is going to carry out a large-scale attack on the Blood Hill.
There are tens of thousands of undead in the Blood Hill, and most of them are considered the elite team of the undead.
In the face of the 'scrubbing' attack of a top-level existence like Levi, the three elemental powerhouses were ready to suffer a large number of casualties. However, with the power of tens of thousands of undead and at the cost of suffering certain casualties, it is not impossible to resist Levi's offensive.
At the very least, the three of them felt that their lives were not in danger.
However, they have also heightened their vigilance. If Levi only used large-scale attacks in the sky to kill a large number of casualties, then they would still be able to hold on; If Levi has lowered his altitude and has signs of rushing in, then don't even think about it, just run away!
They also don't want a hard cap if they can. It's a pity that this is an order from His Majesty Prince Conrad, and it can't be done if you don't do it.
Now, we can only hope that it will last a little longer and that the casualties will be a little smaller. It's best to be able to hold out until His Majesty the Prince recovers from his injuries and comes in person, but if it really doesn't work, it's okay to find an opportunity to run away.
Under such a mentality, they ushered in a thunderstorm.
In the eyes of tens of thousands of living or dead people, they saw that almost all the clouds in the sky that could be seen were swallowed by the huge divine dragon, and the dragon's body became further larger, as if it occupied the entire sky!
