Chapter 385: Defending the City

Baron Leon was not lightly frightened, he didn't think that Marquis Asra was lying, because if the other party wanted to seize the command, it was very easy, and he didn't need a foreign enemy to do it.

And the distance of dozens of miles, the army of the undead can be reached in two hours.

Who would tell a lie and reveal it in two hours?

"Lord Marquis, I have no experience, you can command the army!" Baron Leon immediately handed over his military power.

"No, you still give the order, I will always be with you. ”

Baron Leon originally wanted to refuse, but Xia He said again: "As the commander, I will protect your safety." ”

"Yes, thank you, Lord Marquis. Leon quickly changed his tune.

He is only a nineteenth-level magician, with good qualifications, and the family's expectation for him is to try his best to become an epic mage, to live for two or three hundred years, and to improve the status of the family.

However, for him, the Great Magician is a hurdle, he has been staying in this realm for more than two years, he is already thirty-five years old, and if he does not advance to the master realm, the epic will definitely be hopeless.

If you die, your family's previous investment will be in vain, and your children will no longer have more resources than normal support.

Xia Hedao: "In the city, are there bunkers or something?"

"Yes, the rebels built it before, and they originally wanted to resist stubbornly. ”

"Women, old people and children, were sent to the bunker. Organize women and put them in charge of cooking, boiling water for soldiers, etc. Organize a second line of defense near the bunker. ”

"My lord, if you enter now, it's too late. And there aren't many old people in White Smoke City, why don't we let the women and children move slowly, and let the young Zhuang take weapons to defend the city, and withstand a wave of attacks from the undead first?"

Xia Hedao: "Does White Smoke City have large equipment?"

"A medium-sized airship, a small airship, and a magic cannon, but something went wrong and it could only be fired four times an hour. There are only more than two hundred magic guns newly invented by the empire, and most of them are in the hands of magicians. There aren't many puppets or anything like that, so it's better to throw them away and defend the bunker. ”

Xia He felt that Baron Leon was not a straw bale, and his speech was quite organized, so he said: "The city wall is only ten meters high, and it can't stop the undead for long." The city defenses of White Smoke City are too poor. ”

"The bunker is in the old city, the old city has been transformed by the rebels, the length and width are less than five hundred meters, let's just block it outside, let people retreat into the old city first, how about it?" Leon is very active, fighting a war does not have to kill or injure many enemies, if he can save the ordinary people in White Smoke City, it is also a great achievement.

If the enemy is a rebel, there is no such benefit, and in the face of the undead, the calculation of battle merits is different.

How many people you save is how many ordinary people are prevented from becoming undead.

"Go ahead and take the magician and the man with the magic gun to the eastern wall, by the way, do you have enough magic ammo?"

"It's sufficient, it can last a long time, but we don't have a alchemy factory, and after this thing is consumed, it's useless. ”

Xia He was satisfied, Baron Leon didn't think about running away, he was a good person.

"That's good, I'll send someone to ask for help from the nearby legion, there are more than 100,000 civilians in White Smoke City, the legion won't just give up, let's support it for a day or two, and the matter will pass." ”

Baron Leon said in his heart that he wished so, and when he saw the Marquis leading people up the eastern wall, he immediately urged his men to do things separately. Because it was late at night, he had to put out the alarm of the whole city, and then sent people to inform them from house to house that the old city had been withdrawn and that an army of the undead had appeared.

On Xia He's side, he also asked nervously, "Abigail, are the undead here?"

"It's fifty miles away, it's very close, the speed has slowed down, but the direction hasn't changed. ”

The speed is reduced, it is to wait for the army behind, and the speed of the striker will always be relatively fast, but the undead rely on numbers to win, and will never use the striker to impact the human city.

If faced with a countryside without a noble castle, the undead would have accelerated long ago.

"What weapons does a medium airship have?"

"No, just two miniature magic cannons, which are used for defense when flying. Small airships don't even have this. Originally, this was an old model for transporting heavy infantry, and it couldn't even be carried on a mount. Baron Leon hastened to reply.

Xia He thought for a while and said, "Let the small magic airship take off, I have flash dust that can be thrown here, and it can be used by bottling, first go and stop the army of the undead." ”

"I'll take someone. Abigail volunteered. She was afraid that there would be some flying undead, and if the airship threw weapons by hand, it would fly two or three hundred meters high.

Xia He nodded, and distributed his glitter dust to the ten divine soldiers. These glitter dusts, originally used to reload bullets, were later defended by Fort Woods, and a large number of weapons against the undead were not used. Xia He put a lot of it on himself by the way.

It doesn't matter if you have a container like a glass bottle, this kind of dust can be sprayed out as soon as the container cracks.

On this side of White Smoke City, there are many discarded bottles, all of which are used by adventurers to drink water, and they are piled up. The magician went to the garbage dump and collected thousands, filling them with dirt to leave a little space for glitter dust. Xia He asked the divine soldiers to go to the airship to reload, and he took the Doom Iron Cavalry and the ninety soldiers of the academy to stand at the head of the city and wait patiently.

He arranged for four college lecturers to go to the Old Town, inspect the environment, and draw temporary maps.

What does the bunker look like, Xia He not only sent the four of them to see it, but also let the little ghost out.

Although Baron Leon was afraid of death, he felt that it was safe to follow the Marquis of Asla, so he insisted on standing at the head of the city, if he knew that Xia He took the lead every time he fought, he would probably be scared to pee.

When the undead appeared in the distance, the twenty magic pillars arranged by Xia He shot out white light in unison, covering the earth in the distance. This white light only makes the undead feel uncomfortable, so scattered, there is no more lethality.

More than a dozen miles away, the small airship was suspended at a height of three hundred meters, and Abigail commanded the divine soldiers, slowly throwing glitter dust downward. The porcelain vase fell to the ground, cracked, and glittering dust sprayed out, instantly emitting a dazzling brilliance. The nearby undead suddenly let out a wail.

However, there are no flying undead, and the undead caster on the ground can only watch the airship drop things at a height of about 100 meters.

Fortunately, the glitter dust is not fatal to the higher-level undead.

The undead army was a little confused, so they slowed down, adjusted their formation, and tried to use the undead archers and spellcasters to stop the porcelain vases from falling to the ground.

Abigail secretly took out a gold coin and shot it downward, and the gold coin accurately sank into the celestial spirit cover of a corpse witch, killing the corpse witch instantly.

Abigail stuck out his tongue secretly, the magic is still good here. As long as it can be used, don't run away and you won't be able to use it, it will be embarrassing. She came cautiously and cautiously, and only tested it in the place where the army of the undead haunted, surrounded by monsters from Cape Storm.

The small airship, which was pressed down a hundred meters by Abigail, tried to confuse the divine power with the breath of the undead.

Abigail then took out some more silver coins and attacked the casters of the undead. She was also stingy, and she was reluctant to use the gold coins, and when she felt that the silver coins were okay, she used her fingers to pop out silver lights.

However, the undead are endless, the airship is just creating chaos, and Abigail doesn't dare to go too far.

Xia He watched the undead front approaching at the head of the city, and as if he was going to come to the city to test, he ordered his men to raise their guns. Many of these undead were skeletons, much worse than the legions that attacked Fort Woods. The undead of that army, even the skeletons, are all huge, not like these sick seedlings.

"Aim for a target above level five, preferably a level ten. "Xia He doesn't want to say more, magic bullets are not cheap.

However, the undead striker, approaching a position of five hundred meters, stopped.

There is a commander, although the soldier's magic gun can attack a distance of 500 meters, it is usually 400 meters to adjust the shooting posture, 300 meters to increase the rate of fire, and 200 meters to shoot accurately. At a position of five hundred meters, there are too many unknown factors, and a fresh breeze is enough to make the magic bullet unable to hit the vital point of the undead.

Unlike technological weapons, magic muskets rely on great power and accurate shooting to win. Tech weapons are cheap to death for, and a bullet may not be worth a copper coin.

"Magician, shoot accurately. "Xia He commanded his own people.

Twenty auxiliary mages listened to Xia He's order and began to search for the target. When the undead stop, it is much easier to aim. A magician fired first, and a bang was heard, and a high-level zombie was blasted out of his face.

"The wind speed is ignored, the magic bullet is a little upward fluttering, everyone pay attention to correction, I am aiming at the neck. ”

Twenty magic guns began to roar continuously, and among the undead in the front row, there were only thirty or so who were slightly stronger, and in less than two rounds of shooting, they were all emptied, and the magician began to look for targets in the back row.

Some sword and shield skeletons raised their shields and tried to fend off the attack, but the mage's guns were much more powerful than the soldiers, and the low-level bone shields could explode with two shots.

Baron Leon looked at it for a while, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Woods Fortress was defended, it is said that it was the Sea of the Undead that appeared at the beginning, which was more terrible than the undead natural disaster. There are countless high-level undead, and as a result, they haven't gnawed down a single fortress.

Soldiers kept coming to the city to report that the people in the city were retreating quite quickly, in fact, there were already less than 100,000 people here, and many people had left White Smoke City. The last counterinsurgency war caused White Smoke City to lose a lot of young people, and there were undead people before that.

There are more than 120,000 registered people, but in reality there are less than half of the population.

Leon spoke to Xia He, who listened carefully.

"The damage outside is more serious, the houses in the old town are solid, and they are still preserved, even if they are breached, they can still fight in the streets, and then retreat into the bunker, and they can definitely hold on for two days. ”
