Act 162 The Defense of Yunfeng City (1)

Councilor Bout frowned and said, "Speaker, do you mean to defeat the White Earl's army first?" However, judging from today's situation, this force is very mobile, and it may not be easy to capture them. In addition, it would be useless to deal with them only because of those low-level miscellaneous soldiers, but if the elite troops were dispatched...... Won't the loss be too great......"

Gruss said: "No matter what the huge price is, we must take Yunfeng City, this is something that has been set before, isn't it?" If you want to repair the contents of the undead portal Cloud Peak City's treasure house, it is essential! Besides, if we give up this time, will we be able to take Yunfeng City in the future? Don't forget, according to Cred, the White Earl has settled on the side of Hell Valley, and his strength will only be stronger in the future! Now that he is on a shaky footing and far from his sphere of influence, this is the best chance to defeat him! ”

The councillors discussed it for a while, and they all thought that what Gruth said was right, now that the sudden appearance of the White Earl was not on a stable foothold, the number of troops must be limited, if the time dragged on for a long time, let him transfer more troops from the other side of the Endless Sea, and then want to defeat him, the loss will definitely be greater!

In the case of the destruction of the undead portal, even the Psychic Saint Tower, which is famous for its Sea of Explosive Skulls, feels that the forces at hand are insufficient - to tell the truth, once the huge number of low-level undead is gone, the Psychic Saint Tower, which has been single-handedly fighting the seven kingdoms of the human race, plus the Northern Duze, is actually the weakest of the three undead forces!

"Then let's start voting on whether to prioritize the White Earl's army for annihilation."

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

……

"Very well, then the proposal is unanimously passed!" Gruss nodded and continued, "Then it's my battle plan next. ”

………………………………

The horns sounded loudly on the towering watchtower of Yunfeng City, and the heralds rushed along the path of the barracks, shouting loudly as they knocked on the horn iron.

"The undead are coming! The undead are coming! ”

In addition to the main barracks of Yunfeng City, there are also rooms for soldiers to rest temporarily at the back of each section of the city wall, and they can run to the city wall as fast as possible in case of danger.

Sylne, who is in charge of the shift, is now resting in such a room.

Hearing the alarm, Sylne immediately rushed out, adjusting the elasticity of his bracers as he grabbed a soldier who was running towards the inner city - he was wearing a striking red smock and a long bunch of white finches on his helmet, which meant that he was a herald who was responsible for delivering letters to and from the city.

"How many undead are coming this time? How did you get scared like that? ”

The captured guards just wanted to scold, but they saw the coat of arms of the Kadean family on Sylne's body, and immediately swallowed back the words that came to their mouths - now the Kadean family is a red man around the emperor, and they can't be offended no matter what.

"Very much...... There are a lot of undead coming this time! My lord, you can go and see it, and I'll go back and report it! ”

As soon as Syrne's hand was released, the soldier disappeared in a puff of smoke.

At this time, Croto had already put on his equipment, walked up to look at the back of the soldier and said: "It seems that this time the undead are going to move seriously, and they can scare the heralds who see the sea of skulls every day like that, and it will be difficult today." ”

"No matter how hard it is, you have to keep going!"

Sylne seemed to be answering Croto, but as if he was talking to himself.

"Let's go, let's go up to the wall."

When he and the guards went up to the city wall, Sylne found that this time was really different from the past, every soldier's face was tense, and some people tripped on the ground because of nervousness, and the stones he carried fell to the ground, and his forehead was also broken, but he didn't care about the wound at all, wiped it with his hand, and quickly picked up the stones and continued walking.

When I came to the female wall and looked into the distance, the vast army of the undead covered the land, and everything was gray and white as far as the eye could see.

"This amount ......"

Rao is Sylne, who has a firm belief, can't help but sweat in his palms, such a huge army of undead, if it is replaced by an ordinary castle, it can't even block the first wave of attacks.

"Start...... It's fogging!? ”

Someone exclaimed, and then everyone noticed that a dense mist began to rise in the direction of the undead army, and the speed of the fog spread was very fast, I am afraid that it would not take twenty minutes to spread to the city wall.

The sudden appearance of the situation caused a commotion among the defenders of Yunfeng City, and everyone began to panic - everyone understood that the necromancer's best trick was what it was, in addition to summoning all kinds of bones, wasn't it an endless stream of plague virus elements.

The appearance of the dense fog made the magicians of Yunfeng City immediately busy, and one by one the magic arrays were activated, blocking the dense fog at a distance of about a mile in front of the city wall.

The mages didn't feel the presence of the blight from the thick fog, but in order to calm the soldiers' emotions, they still had to keep the magic circle running, after all, no one knew if the necromancers would first make a false shot and then replace it with the real blight mist.

The undead army under the thick fog was no longer observable, and after looking at it for a while and seeing nothing, he went to inspect the city defenses.

When he approached a young man of twelve or thirteen with a young face who was wiping a broad-bladed sword disproportionate to his size, Sylne stopped in surprise.

"Child, who are you and why are you here?"

The boy put down the sword in his hand, looked up at Sylne, and said, "I am Brick Kareda, the son of Vello-Kareda. My father died in battle the day before yesterday, and I came to replace him. ”

At this time, Sylne remembered that just four days ago, Yunfeng City announced a conscription order, no matter how high or low the city is, whether it is high or low, or age, every family must send someone to defend the city.

Although such an order inevitably recruits a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot go to the battlefield at all, these people are generally arranged in logistics auxiliary positions, such as carrying things to deliver a meal or a letter or something.

But now this twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is actually standing on the city wall!

Sylne stood up angrily and said angrily, "Our reinforcements from the Black Thorn Castle are not dead yet! How can such a young child be allowed to go to war!? Follow me, I'll take you to the officers here! ”

Unexpectedly, Brick broke free of Sylne's hand and said stubbornly: "I took the initiative to ask for it!" My father is dead, and if I can't earn a job in the war, I will have to rely on my mother to wash the clothes, and the family will have a hard time in the future. ”

Sylne sighed, touched Brick's head, and inexplicably remembered the Huaguo that Bai Gang had mentioned to her, a pure land of peace and no war, and I really wanted to go there to see it......

Untied his spare rapier and handed it to the young man, Sylne said, "Use this, your strength is just right for this." ”

Unexpectedly, the young man shook his head and said, "My father said that if you are a man, you must use a heavy sword, and this is my father's sword!" I'm going to use this sword! ”

Sylne smiled slightly, reached out and stroked the boy's hair, and applied [Strength Blessing] to him, so that he could greatly increase his strength in the next combat power, so that even a heavy broadsword could be wielded.
