Chapter 342: Pre-Battle Preparations
As an ordinary watchtower, theoretically there will only be two to three hundred garrisons. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, due to the proximity of this watchtower to the Frost Forest, and the fact that in previous years, there were often monster riots in the Frost Forest, so there were slightly more troops here than in other places.
It's just that although there have been such things as Warcraft riots in the past, most of them are dozens to hundreds, and the largest Warcraft riot is only more than three hundred lower-level Warcraft riots.
Looking at the swarm of demonic beasts that covered the ground like locusts in front of him, Gray's left hand wrapped in armor gently patted his forehead.
He turned back to the female mage holding the crystal ball and asked, "What is the order from the city lord?"
"Lord Castle Lord, I hope you can use all your strength to hold these demonic beasts as hard as you can, and don't let them attack in front of the city......" Glancing up at Gray, the female mage said a little timidly.
Clenching his arms helplessly, Gray began to think about what to do: "Lord of the City asked me to stop these guys in this place as much as possible, which means that the adults know the situation here." Then, knowing the difference in strength between the two sides, the adults should send reinforcements over...... bar. ”
"At a distance of thirty miles, the reinforcements sent to deal with these guys will definitely not be a few, so there is no way to use the space transfer magic. Even at the speed of standard infantry, it would take at least an hour or so to wait for reinforcements......"
A young man in heavy black armor walked in from the other side of the room, and when he entered, he lowered his head and reported in a loud voice, "General Gray, all the soldiers have been put in order. ”
Gray asked without looking back, "Give me a report on the strength of the troops." ”
I don't know if Gray was lucky or bad, as a general, he didn't use the watchtower.
It's just that today he suddenly became interested, and planned to come to the lookout to check the situation of the reconnaissance and the morale of the soldiers, and he had just come here for less than an hour before encountering such a situation.
"Yes! There were three thousand and twelve soldiers stationed in the watchtower, including one thousand two hundred barbarian infantry legions, eight hundred orc berserker legions, six hundred standard knight legions, and four hundred and twelve mage legions!" replied the heavily armored young master.
After hearing his answer, Gray didn't say a word, just continued to watch the Warcraft army rush towards this side at an unabated speed.
"Hmm...... All of them are lower-level legions, and there is not a single higher-level legion? The overall strength of melee soldiers should also be almost always maintained at the vortex level...... It's barely enough to deal with lower-level Warcraft, but it's a little too difficult to deal with Mid-level Warcraft. ”
"There are only about 400 mage legions now, and they can't form a dense firepower network, and they don't have other ranged troops...... The magic barrier held up by the 400-strong mage army doesn't know if it can block a round of fire attacks from the opposite side......"
"And the most important problem is that there are no legions with strong defenses, if they were similar in number, the barbarian legions and berserker legions, which are known for their attack power, can definitely cut the opposite side into pulp. But with such a huge difference in numbers, I'd rather go and replace all of these armies with heavy shields......"
“...... General?General!?" Looking at Gray, who was immersed in thought, the heavily armored young man couldn't help but shout.
Gray, who was immersed in thought, was startled for a moment, then turned around and said, "What's wrong?"
"General Gray, those monsters are extremely fast, and they will arrive here in a few minutes at most, what should we do next?"
Even though he knew that this battle was very likely to be lost, as a general who had experienced countless battles, Gray naturally did not let his subordinates feel burdened.
So he thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's gather the mage legion first, and then have them arrange defensive magic and trap magic around it." Due to the large number of attributes of those magical beasts, it would be good to unify the defensive magic into general magic. ”
"Berserker units still keep their basic equipment, but have all the barbarians switch to single-wielding weapons and shields to the other. Then the barbarian troops were in front, the berserkers waited for their time, and the knights waited for their time. ”
Theoretically, the most powerful knightly troops should go out and charge back and forth deep into the enemy first.
However, the disparity in numbers between the two sides is so great that if he let his knights go out and rush back and forth, Gray is sure that there will not be even a tenth of the knights who can come back.
The heavily armored young man nodded, even though Gray's assignment seemed to him to be a problem, but as a soldier, the most important thing was to obey orders, he turned his head and ran out quickly, to order Gray's order.
Gray turned back to the female mage who had been standing behind him and asked, "Let me have a little expectation, are there any high-level magicians here in the watchtower?"
Gray asked this question just to give himself some comfort, how could a high-level mage usually appear in such a place as an adventurer or court mage.
And because he was in a hurry when he came out today, Gray didn't bring any of his subordinates.
If he brought all the three generals under his command today, and the four of them were power-level professionals who rushed into the army of Warcraft, even if he couldn't stop these Warcraft, he would definitely slow them down greatly, and at the same time, he would be able to kill a lot of Warcraft.
While Gray was thinking about it, the female mage nodded, hesitated for a moment and replied, "A few court mages said that they came out to collect materials today, so they wanted to rest here at the watchtower, and they should still be in their rooms at this time." ”
Gray was startled for a moment, then hurriedly waved his hand and ordered, "Quick, go and call those court mages." ”
Court mages are those who live in the palace, but they don't just stay in the palace.
In fact, most kings, out of the mentality of protection and surveillance, usually send a few court mages to the city lords of their largest cities on errands, which is called protection, but in fact they are in charge of monitoring most of the time.
A few minutes after the order was given, three mages dressed in sky-blue robes and wearing a blue pentagram on their chests walked in.
The first one was a very young-looking elf with blond hair, she nodded at Gray, and then asked, "General Gree, we have already learned the specific situation, what do you need the three of us to do?"
Although in many knightly novels circulating on the mainland, court mages usually appear with very ugly faces.
However, in reality, most court mages are actually quite rational, and to be able to become a professional of the power level, in addition to relying on strong talents, they naturally need to have a certain amount of wisdom.
In such an emergency, there is basically no situation where a court mage thinks he is powerful and does not obey the general's orders.
Gray nodded, and said with a very sincere face: "The situation is very critical now, and I hope that all the mages can help me." ”
As he spoke, Gray explained all the information he had just discovered to the three court mages very succinctly.
"I want the three of them to be able to cast their magic powers, to place as powerful magical enchantments as possible around them, or to cast joint magic and to wreak havoc on those magical beasts before they arrive. ”
The blonde elf turned around and discussed a few words with the other two court mages standing behind her, before turning back and saying, "General Gru, let's discuss it, if you want to stop them, then the three of us can cast a very powerful joint magic." Although I am not confident that I can defeat them all, under this magic, I can kill at least one-fifth of the magical beasts. ”
Gray nodded, then asked, "So do we need to prepare something?"
"All we need is time, we have collected other materials outside this time, and it takes about fifteen minutes to prepare for the release of this magic. The blonde elf said.
It would take fifteen minutes for the three power level magicians to jointly perform this magic, and without even thinking about it, it was definitely a real big magic.
If it is successful, it may be possible to kill more than one-fifth of the Monster Legion.
"In that case, then please leave it to the three. I'm going to move the troops first, and in any case, I'll try to buy some time for the three of us. ”
With that, Gray turned around and walked towards the bottom of the watchtower, and the blonde elf turned to the other two and said, "In that case, let's start preparing for the three of us!"
At this time, in the city of White, Morakot was tapping his index finger on the table, listening to the report of Lyles standing in front of him.
"My lord, I really think that there are traitors in our city, otherwise, how could there be a Warcraft riot at this time. Lowering his head, Lyles said with a very solemn face.
Morakot didn't speak, he understood what Lyles meant. Just three days earlier, Morakot had ordered Cornell, one of the three generals of White City, to lead most of the city's soldiers to the south.
Because in the south, several small villages under the management of White City have frequently reported that a large number of undead creatures have appeared.
The Far North Continent has always been the favorite place for the undead, and if you go out and find a mass grave, you can find an undead creature by digging open two graves at random.
Considering the harm that undead creatures would bring to the surrounding area of his city and the city itself, Morakot hurriedly asked Cornell to go and clean it up.
And now, only a few days after Cornell left, there was a monster riot in the forest, which really has to be reminiscent.
"Anyway, you should report on the number of troops left in the city!" (To be continued.) )
