Xia Hedao: "Baron Leon, after this matter is over, I will write a letter of recommendation to Your Majesty." ”

Baron Leon was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"No, if you can save enough people, Your Majesty will naturally have a reward. I recommend your command and governance skills, and I guess Your Majesty will let you go to the academy for free study. ”

Baron Leon burst into tears, he just wanted to go to the Nine Academies for further study, but the age has long passed, the academy likes to train newcomers, if the nobles want to go, the cost is too great, and it is not something that his family can afford.

Xia He drew a big pie, and Baron Leon was in high spirits, and his replies to his orders were sonorous and powerful.

Anyway, he will write a letter of recommendation, and if the emperor does not reward him, Baron Leon will also hate the emperor.

If the emperor feels that he is troublesome, Xia He doesn't care, as long as the emperor doesn't want to kill himself, then it's useless to have more favorability, as an emperor, not acting with likes and dislikes, this is the most basic requirement.

Another soldier came up to summon him, and Baron Leon said, "Lord Marquis, almost 10,000 people have been transferred. ”

"So fast?"

"Because before that, I had already put them under military control. It was still slow, and I allowed them to bring some of their belongings into the Old Town. The common people can't wait to tear down the bed and bring it over. ”

"If you can still speed up, hurry up, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop these undead. ”

Xia He pointed to the distance, the magic high spotlight shone more than ten miles away, and in the night, the earth was low and pressed with the breath of death, condensing into clouds. Tens of thousands of undead would not have seen such a terrible scene.

Baron Leon changed color and said, "There is nothing in White Smoke City, the undead are crazy?"

"There are people in White Smoke City, this is the army of the undead that is going to grow like a snowball, and they will choose places with weak strength but large populations. Even if the passage to the underworld is not sealed, it is estimated that it is not easy to enter and exit, so the undead have to find a way. ”

"Yes. Baron Leon immediately ordered the people to retreat faster. And the young man immediately had to go up to the city to assist in the defense. In fact, even if ordinary people are in the prime of life, their combat effectiveness is not very good. Fortunately, the people of the empire will go through at least three months of training for war, even civilians.

Generally at the age of sixteen, it is considered to be just an adult, and it is trained for three months. At the age of eighteen, they will train for another three months, and at the age of twenty-four, the nobles in some places will let the commoners participate in military training for a year. After that, when you are thirty years old, there will be a half-year training period.

Therefore, the civilians of the empire will not be unable to defeat the skeleton soldiers, wear armor, assemble the queue, and the low-level undead will be like that. If there are one or two professionals in the team, they will be able to withstand the onslaught of ordinary undead.

The empire is like this, the consumption is relatively large, of course, a large number of professional soldiers, this is how they are selected. If you train at the age of 30 and you haven't become a professional, you won't train anymore.

Under the laws of the Empire, families are exempt from taxation during the time period of participation in training.

Letting civilians go to the city wall to defend is not considered to be sent to death, and the young and strong men of the empire can also lift more than a hundred catties of things, throw a stone and roll wood, and so on.

There are also archers among the civilians, and the lethality within thirty or fifty meters is not small, and the recoil of the magic gun is large, so the civilians can't use it.

Xia He's original meaning was to make firearms with a range of more than 100 meters, so that civilians could also go to the battlefield.

However, the royal family does not seem to be interested in this, and none of the published drawings have a piece of equipment suitable for civilians.

Facing the undead, of course, the civilians can only protect themselves, in case the army can't withstand it, they don't even have the possibility of surrendering. Armor and weapons were distributed above, and the young men lined up on the walls of the old city. For every ten men, there is a soldier in command.

In the distance, small airships flew back, followed by a group of vampires.

The magic guns on the airship roared, and Abigail had ten magic guns in front of him, taking turns to operate them with both hands, and shooting them when they were raised. The rate of fire of this thing is one shot per second, it can't be faster, plus ten divine soldiers, the firepower density is not enough. When vampires fly in the sky, their figures flicker, never walk in a straight line, and are difficult to aim.

However, Abigail would occasionally bombard him with a miniature magic cannon, and the vampire who was hit would be directly charred and fall to the ground, blowing up a cloud of dust.

The airship fled back, and the vampires did not dare to approach the city wall, and at the head of the city, there were more than 300 soldiers holding magic guns, which raised dense firepower, and no matter how fast they flashed, they would be hit.

"How's it going?" Xia He asked, looking at Abigail who jumped off the airship.

"I haven't found the legendary undead, but there are a lot of flying undead, these vampires are just a small minority, giant bats, shadow banshees, etc. ”

Xia He sighed, there are too few human flying classes, and in this world, legends can fly by themselves.

In many worlds, great magicians can fly.

However, he is improving his magic and creating more general flying skills, and if he cooperates with equipment, it won't be long before his subordinates, as long as they are magicians in the master realm, can fly in the sky.

The problem now is that the Empire has developed a relatively cheap magic gun, and it doesn't make much sense if the magician doesn't dare to fly below four hundred meters. Therefore, I have to improve the arrow talisman, so that the bullets of the magic gun cannot easily threaten the magician.

Magic guns are relatively cheap, because after the bullet is fired, there is no need to correct it, and it kills the enemy by inertia.

Once it has the tracking attribute, the effect of the Arrow Drop Charm is reduced, but in that case, the cost of the magic gun will skyrocket, and the soldier will not be able to equip it.

Therefore, the constant arrow falling technique on the magic belt or magic robe is also a good choice, and this small spell is not even worth adding to equipment such as badges.

Xia He pondered as he raised his magic spear to attack the undead in the distance.

He threw out a shot casually, and the magic bullet drew an arc in the air, attacking from top to bottom, with a range of up to two thousand meters. This magic gun is really a blessing for the strong and a nightmare for the weak.

Weak people, use this thing, that is, a white rice or two accurate shots, and then they will be easily blocked by the enemy. Xia He was like this, attacking accurately from two thousand meters away, and the undead could only watch their companions fall one by one.

The attack range is suppressed, and if the magic cannon is cheap, the undead are not a threat to the human city at all.

Baron Leon was full of admiration, such weapon control seemed to him to be only available to legendary powerhouses.

The undead stalemate lasted for more than two hours before the forward began to rush towards the city wall, and the army of the undead behind was boundless, and there was no blank space within the scope covered by Xia He's divine sense.

"Retreat. Xia He was not ready to resist, let Baron Leon's men go first, and he rode back with the Iron of Doom.

Baron Leon said that he would not say anything, but just let his men retreat first, and he followed Xia He. Xia He couldn't help it, so he assigned two demon deer to him, so that the baron would not be accidentally killed.

Baron Leon himself didn't feel anything, because Xia He's people had been killing casualties from a distance, and if it was hand-to-hand combat, the scene would be terrifying, and it was estimated that he would have fled a long time ago.

Unilateral suppression of firepower does not make it possible to appreciate the cruelty of war.

The undead struggled over the walls, the city was already empty, smelling the smell of flesh, and the undead swarmed towards the old city. In the sky, a huge elemental fireball fell and exploded, and a blank space immediately appeared in the army of the undead.

Xia He immediately shouted with the method of magic amplification: "Don't use magic cannons!"

Before the words fell, a huge white object flew by in the sky with an afterimage, and a violent explosion was heard in the old city.

The enemy can even fight back with a magic cannon!

Xia He vaguely saw that the white object was like a canoe carved from white bones, and dozens of undead were arranged on it, flying through the air.

It's the same thing, the undead fighting back against the magic cannon.

If you're next to the magic cannon, you'll be able to stop the weapon. However, when the enemy is charging, bombarding the enemy's dense area with a magic cannon at the earliest time is considered a rule to use. The magic cannon's attacks have a long cooldown, so you can increase the number of attacks a little.

Listening to the explosion, even if the magic cannon was not destroyed, it would definitely not be able to complete the rest of the battle.

There is no alchemy factory in White Smoke City, and Xia He can repair magic cannons by himself, but he relies on repairing magic liquids. The price of repairing this large piece of equipment with a magic liquid is much higher than building another one.

Xia He misses his epic magic cannon very much, the rate of fire is fast enough, and it is easy to control.

It's a pity that it is now placed in Storm Point and is decomposed for study.

After Xia He was broken by magic, the soldiers dragged into the old city in turn, and went up the city wall to reorganize the defense line. The walls of the old town are two meters higher than the outside, with a height of twelve meters. The area with a radius of nearly 500 meters is full of old-fashioned stone houses. The earliest people in White Smoke City burned charcoal for a living, and their houses were built of stone to avoid fire.

These stone houses, later fortified by magicians, make the whole old town like a fortress complex.

In the center of the old city, there is a three-story building, which is the highest in the whole White Smoke City, and the area is also the largest, the earliest charcoal trading center, which was established by local nobles and has bunkers. Later, the nobles of the Northland rebelled, and this bunker was expanded a lot, mainly to store grain or raw coal, and used natural underground caves, but there was no underground river, and there was no way out, and the entrance and exit were blocked, and they were waiting to die.

The trees around the old town had been cut down, and undead had climbed onto the roofs of houses and tried to jump onto the walls.

At the head of the city, the magic pillar supported by Xia He lit up with elemental brilliance.

The undead who were hit by the elemental blow suddenly became heavy and fell to the ground from the air.

A large number of undead are congested on the streets, and there is no longer the problem of missing shots. The light of the magic musket flickered repeatedly in the night, and Xia He couldn't help frowning. [.]
