Chapter 182: The Rotting Corpse King
Seeing that only a small number of carrion corpses were catching up, Li Yuanfang was still vigilant, and in the center of the carrion army, the three huge carrion corpses were particularly conspicuous.
Even from a distance of several kilometers, he could feel a great threat, as if he was being targeted by several ferocious beasts.
Beside him, Edith also frowned, urging her subordinates to hurry up and retreat.
The fat and bulky bodies of the carrion corpses showed amazing strength at this time, and their speed was much faster than that of humans, and at this speed, they would soon be able to catch up.
Li Yuanfang's troops were not far from their own territory, and now they could only run to the Jiangcheng side, perhaps to the Yangtze River.
Most of Jiangcheng's troops have been drawn to the front line, and only a small number of troops are left to fight against the undead on the west side, if these 10,000 carrion corpses are lured over, Jiangcheng's defenders will not be able to fight at all.
Retreating to Jiangcheng will relieve the crisis of their troops, and if the elite of rotting corpses can rush into the residential areas of Jiangcheng, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But the retreat to the Yangtze River was okay a few days ago, but now the ice on the Yangtze River has melted, and it is impossible to pass.
Running to the shore of the Yangtze River may delay for a while, but it will still not help.
Li Yuanfang was difficult to choose for a while, and Edith beside him seemed to see something, and proposed: "It's better for us to retreat to the base camp first, those city walls are very strong, and they can't be destroyed at all below the third order, we can use the advantages of the city walls to hold on for a while." ”
"And judging from yesterday, Mu Yue has a good relationship with that Princess An Yue, and she is likely to bring orc reinforcements over, so that we can get out of danger."
Hearing Edith's proposal, Li Yuanfang sighed and nodded, now he can only do this.
Subsequently, the new 27th Regiment went straight to the base camp, most of the soldiers were withdrawn to the city wall, and a small number of soldiers drove the destroyers and transports away, so as not to be destroyed by the army of rotting corpses.
This time the defense was crowded, the walls were crowded with people, and judging by the indications, it was not so easy to break.
As soon as the new 27th Regiment stepped on the city wall, the carrion elite chased after them, and the carrion corpses in front of them tried to jump when they saw the high city wall.
But their bodies are all fat, and they can only jump a few meters when they are more, and it is simply wishful thinking to turn them over.
After many carrion corpses could not jump up, they attacked the city wall in a fit of rage, either slashing with pig-killing knives, or hitting them with their own bodies, or spitting out slime.
Li Yuanfang was a little worried at first, but after finding that the city wall was unscathed, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.
Ordered his subordinates to shoot arrows to attack, the distance is so close, almost everyone can shoot their heads with arrows, of course, even if an ordinary arrow is a headshot, it can't kill a carrion, let alone a carrion elite.
These can only cause a little damage to them, but they can't withstand the number of arrows, Li Yuanfang has transported all the supplies into the castle, at least tens of thousands of arrows.
Under the baptism of countless arrow rains, hundreds of rotting corpses died tragically, and the arrows stuck in their heads were like hedgehogs.
The army of carrion corpses could not be attacked for a long time, and two large carrion corpses squeezed out of the carrion, their sunken bulb eyes and hateful gaze, which made the hearts of those who watched them chill.
They were four meters tall, their bodies were nailed with pieces of iron, their two fat arms were wrapped in a circle of iron chains, and they held two or three meters long pig-killing knives in their hands, and the blades emitted a dazzling light.
The strength of these two carrion corpses has reached the late stage of the third order, and there is nothing that can stop them at this stage, so it is no wonder that the first look at it is, and they feel a great threat.
Seeing these two carrion leaders approaching, Li Yuanfang's gaze turned elsewhere - the largest carrion king!
The Rotting Corpse King is the biggest threat, its strength is as high as the king, and the completion is not comparable to these two late third-order players.
Li Yuanfang was also a little depressed, he escaped the army of skeleton cavalry, and actually provoked the King of Rotting Corpses, is this lucky or unlucky.
On the side, Edith was also a little remorseful, she originally thought that it was three third-order carrion leaders, but she didn't expect that there would be a carrion king.
Anyway, there is definitely no chance to withdraw now, so I can only stick here.
Now the behavior of the carrion king watching the play is a little incomprehensible, or because he is a boss, so he didn't rush up at the first time, and only let the two thugs come up.
Li Yuanfang sneered, since the Rotting Corpse King is so confident, what will happen if he cuts off its right-hand man?
When the two carrion leaders were less than twenty meters away from the city wall and were about to charge up and crash over, they only heard an angry roar, and the demon flame descended into the air!
All the carrion corpses around it were shaken open, and the two carrion corpses were given a lava fireball as a greeting gift.
The unsuspecting carrion leader was sturdy by the long-prepared lava fireball, and his body was blasted into a hole, and his skin turned charcoal black.
Before they could react, Demon Flame slammed into it, grabbed one carrion leader, and smashed it into the other.
I have to say that they are really rough and thick-skinned, so they haven't died yet, but then the final blow of Demon Flame blew one of them into minced meat, and the other became seriously injured.
The carrion king in the distance was angry and shouted, fanning away the carrion in the way, and Xiang Demon Yan rushed over, wanting to tear it to pieces.
Demon Flame turned around, made the appearance of facing a great enemy, and spewed flames in all directions, and the rotting corpses that wanted to rush over burned one after another, scurrying around.
The two behemoths fought in an instant, and the surrounding carrion corpses that were affected undoubtedly died under their fighting.
The carrion leaders on the periphery had no choice but to avoid the battlefield and attack the city walls, including the badly wounded carrion leader.
On the wall, Li Yuanfang felt a slight shaking, it was the leader of the seriously injured carrion who was hitting the city wall.
Compared to this seriously injured carrion leader, he was more concerned about whether Mo Yan could beat the carrion king, and if Mo Yan couldn't defeat him, it would be bad.
"There shouldn't be any worries, Demon Yan has reached the middle stage of the king, and the carrion king has only reached the early stage of the king." Edith saw Li Yuanfang's worries and explained to him: "Before the king, there was no concept of the middle stage, there were only two major stages, the early stage and the late stage, but after reaching the king, the slightest increase in strength can be felt. ”
"Sometimes the strength is just a little higher, and the winner can be decided!"
"Then this carrion king is still rushing up?" Li Yuanfang was a little regretful, according to Edith's words, wasn't the carrion king rushing over looking for death?
Edith smiled slightly and explained: "The Rotting Corpse King knows that Demon Flame has a time limit, this is the confidence that it dares to rush over, and it still has so many subordinates, seeing that his subordinates don't kill and don't do anything, it's too unqualified to be a boss." ”
After Li Yuanfang understood, he paid attention to the seriously injured carrion leader, after a while, it hit a crack in the city wall, and let it crash down like this, this city wall is estimated to fall.
