Chapter 640: Soldiers Descend on the City
About a week later, the Frost army was approaching Frost City.
Apparently, they also learned that Frost City was supported by Westdum's army.
Outside of Frost City, a Frost army of nearly 100,000 people had gathered. However, they were obviously not satisfied, and stopped at a distance of about thirty kilometers outside Linshuang City to further gather their forces.
Until now, no one knows how many ice creatures have descended from the Arctic Ice Sheet. Either way, it must be much more than the number of human regulars who have come from Westdum.
In fact, with the current situation in Westdum, it is actually very good to be able to mobilize an army of 50,000 people with good combat strength from all over the country.
However, the number of enemies is too many.
However, fortunately, there are not many others in Linfrost City now, that is, there are a lot of people.
On the one hand, in order to manage well, and on the other hand, in order to increase his strength, Ye Feiyin has implemented military management in Linshuang City, and has temporarily reorganized a militia team in accordance with the military system of the kingdom.
The total number of this militia team reached nearly 300,000. It's just that they have empty numbers, and their combat effectiveness is definitely impossible to count on. There is not so much equipment, and there is no need to count on the level of training and discipline organization.
But at least with the model of the army, at least those civilians will not cause chaos to the regular army in the middle of the war.
It can even help them in organizing them to build defenses, enforce martial law in the city, and transport supplies on the battlefield......
In fact, looking at it this way, these militia regiments are used more as battlefield civilians.
Outside the city, the Frost Army has already begun to 'shell' the Frost City. A large number of elemental aggregates advanced to the front line closer to Frost City, and smashed the amplified Frost Spell towards Frost City from a distance of dozens of kilometers.
However, the defense capability of Frost City is much stronger than that of Cold Land Town. In particular, the regular human army carrying a large number of heavy weapons and equipment, DT type and even more fierce firepower, even a single shell can threaten the life safety of the element power, all of them.
At the head of the city, the artillery positions that had been erected were also colored to the long-range attack positions that had moved forward of the Frost Army.
The ultra-long-range firepower of the two sides fought back and forth, and even in terms of firepower, it was the humans who had some advantages. At least, those ice spells didn't cause too much damage to Frost City, but the elemental aggregate troops of the Frost Army, in the firepower battle, were defeated a lot, and the losses were not small.
On the eve of the war, the human race was the first to take the lead, at least knocking out a large amount of the enemy's long-range firepower, and boosting their own morale.
However, such a small victory was not enough to change the military disparity between the two sides.
Originally, there was almost a double difference in numbers between the two sides - this of course did not count those militia groups, in fact, there was no point in counting them at all - and the Frost Army was still gathering troops outside the Frost City.
In the past few days, under the detection of human beings, it can be clearly seen that the number of enemies may have reached 130,000 at present, and it is still increasing.
As the number of frost armies outside the city grew, the people inside the city were also quite unable to sit still.
……
"Take the initiative? You all think so? ”
"Yes." Milo spoke as a representative, "None of us knows what scale those monsters outside will eventually gather, and we don't have much capital to bet on them." It is better to start the war as soon as possible. ”
Levi was silent.
Ye Feiyin also spoke on the side: "Actually, for now, the final decision of this battle is still on you, Chairman Li, and the White Dragon King. However, if we wait until the contrast between our two sides in the strength of the army is further magnified......"
In the second half of the sentence, she didn't say it, but the meaning was already obvious.
If the difference in the strength of the two armies is large enough to a certain extent, then even if Levi defeats the White Dragon King, he may not be able to save the battle.
Fighting the Frost Wings, Levi must go all out to have a chance to win. And after the fight, it is unknown how much strength he will be able to leave. What's worse is that when Levi defeated the White Dragon King, it may have been breached in Frost City, and it is unknown how many of the hundreds of thousands of residents in the city will be left alive by then.
Levi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I agree with you in principle, but let's delay the decisive battle for another week." ”
Ye Feiyin hesitated for a moment and said, "It may not be delayed." ”
"It must be delayed." Levi left little room for it.
"Okay...... Ye Feiyin said, "I don't really understand why you made such a decision, but I estimate that if the current situation continues, the enemy may gather between 160,000 and 180,000 in a week...... As long as you defeat the White Dragon King fast enough, we may still have a chance to survive. ”
"So be it." After Levi finished speaking, he left.
After leaving the council chamber, Levi returned to his workshop in Frost City.
In fact, he's been here for the last week.
He's making gear.
Over the past week, he's made the fourth piece of the 'Dead Dragon' set.
It was a pair of gloves called 'Tears of the Death Dragon'. This piece of equipment, which is almost the same style as the previous ones, is that the stat bonuses provided are high enough, and the set stats that have not yet been activated. When an extra glove is worn, the attack damage is increased by a certain amount.
Now, with a complete 'death' set, only the last one is left unfinished.
When this set, which is all composed of high-level artifact-level equipment, is fully formed, Levi's equipment level will reach an unprecedented level of luxury. And in the end, the set attribute of 'Death Force' will also reach the point of qualitative change.
More than a week ago, Levi had a fight with Frost Wings, which was a formal touch and figured out the strength of this white dragon.
If you don't strengthen it, if you simply talk about heads-up, Levi feels that the winning rate between himself and the white dragon is about four or six: he is four, and the white dragon is six.
It's not an insurance number.
And when the set is complete and the effect he envisions is perfect, he is confident that he will be able to reverse the odds of victory between the two sides.
