Chapter Twenty-Five: The Weather Is Dry

"The combat power of these knights is not below the mid-rank demons, and 200 mid-rank demons are still quite a headache. ”

Carlos walked up and observed, these Silver Wing Knights will use a power called the power of order, it is said that in addition to the knights of order, this plane also has the knights of the Holy Light, both of whom are followers of the goddess of order, but the paladins call that goddess the goddess of light or the goddess of holiness.

"In the name of my Balle, my warriors of the Black Swamp Kingdom, we must not allow those evil humans to enter the royal city!" The brown lizardman general they had seen before was in charge of the city, and this kind of personal approach to battle undoubtedly boosted the morale of many lizardmen.

The knights also found that the city was not so easy to build, so they began to retreat gradually, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the kingdom, although they were strong in the field, but if they attacked the city, the advantage of the cavalry would disappear, but their shortcomings would be exposed.

The Silver Wing Knights are wrapped in bright silver armor, and they have highly recognizable winged helmets on their heads, and each of these helmets has a pair of carefully carved wings attached to each side, although this kind of ornament is completely redundant and can only be used for beautification, but it is really handsome if you can't stand it, anyway, only nobles can afford to play with this kind of thing.

Worthton's army is slowly approaching, even if the distance is far away, Carlos can roughly know that the number of this army is at least more than 100,000, this number of troops may be regarded as the Worthton Kingdom in addition to the defenders, after all, according to the Lizardman King, although the Worthton Kingdom is several times stronger than his country, the population will not exceed 1.5 million, if the army of this size is lost here, the Worthton Kingdom may be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to recover for decades.

"General, do you have any good strategies to break the enemy or defend it?"

Carlos thinks it's better to ask the locals, after all, he was just an office worker in his previous life, and after crossing over, he was just a demon lord who didn't have much experience in commanding the army.

When the magic king slaughtered a large number of believers in the gods and heaven, and then blocked the communication between the two realms and the outside world, so that they could not replenish their faith and soldiers, and then surrounded but did not kill, using the continuous supply sent by hell to completely encircle and suppress the enemy, this method of cutting flesh with a blunt knife is already the first trick of hell, for the vast majority of demons, this is an incredible feat, they can't think of this method even if they want to break their heads.

Of course, there is nothing to despise about this, his family knows his own situation, Carlos is just talking on paper, and it is too difficult to apply the military knowledge he learned in his previous life to actual combat. After all, there are too many types of demons in hell, how to cooperate with all kinds of strange abilities, there are endless changes between the arms, and the demons are also unruly, in this case, even if the famous generals in history command them, they are enough to choke, let alone the military white Carlos.

"Well, don't I just have to defend it like this? If I really can't do it, I will attack the enemy with sassal wood and rolling stones and fire oil, is there any problem?" General Balle was puzzled, isn't this how the defense of the city has been fought for thousands of years? Is it difficult for them to take the initiative to attack?

It's over, this Black Swamp Kingdom is even worse than imagined, and this lizardman general is not reliable, this kind of defense method can be imagined by individuals, not to mention that in Carlos's eyes, the only real warriors among the lizardmen are the three thousand elite lizardmen wearing improvised armor and holding iron guns.

As for the tens of thousands of lizardmen left, don't be funny, some of them don't even have clothes, they can only be scribbled around a hide, and they only hold wooden sticks or sharpened wooden spears or polished stones, and there are not many people who even have copper weapons in their hands.

No way, the lizardmen don't know how to smelt iron, and the Black Swamp Kingdom is located on the edge of the Black Swamp, with scarce resources and few people, in this case, they can only exchange iron tools with the dwarves with a large number of luxury goods, although the dwarves sell expensive, but the quality is definitely guaranteed, until a few years ago, the Wadston Kingdom banned the trade between the lizards and the dwarves by reaching some kind of agreement with the dwarves, and carried out a technical and material blockade of the Black Swamp Kingdom.

After that, the Wolston Kingdom was a large army to the south to directly attack the Black Swamp Kingdom, this kind of annual war in the case of serious iron consumption, the Black Swamp Kingdom's territory began to gradually shrink, although there are human profiteers in order to make huge profits to cross the blockade and come to the Black Swamp Kingdom to trade with the lizardmen, but this is just a drop in the bucket.

And the price of the iron tools sold by those profiteers is five or six times higher than that of the dwarves, but the quality is extremely poor, many of the iron tools are made in a perfunctory manner, and even many of the iron tools are made of second-hand goods and mixed with other metals, which are very fragile and very easy to break on the battlefield, and the lizardmen soldiers are miserable.

But there was no way, the Black Marsh King had no choice but to give up a lot of profit in exchange for what these profiteers saw as broken copper, because even broken copper and iron were better than the weapons that the warriors made out of stone, bone, or wood.

"Trouble the general to cooperate with us, we need to hold a ceremony, His Majesty Kappa Black Swamp has agreed. The ritual that Carlos spoke of was to draw a magic circle that covered most of the battlefield, and to sacrifice the dead on the battlefield to open the gates of hell.

Of course, in fact, as long as there are enough dead people and enough magic power, this magic array can be completed in an instant, which is why Carlos is so confident, and when Quiz is in charge of casting spells, he will come to sweep the array, these lizardmen can at least resist for a while even if they are cannon fodder, and the more people die, the longer the existence time and diameter of the door to hell after opening.

"Now, maybe we can use the devil's oil to meet the enemy. "Baliel is a little embarrassed, holding a ceremony in this situation?Are these two out-of-bounds beings crazy, but they are also the last hope of the kingdom, and he doesn't want to offend people, so he can only say it more tactfully, persuading Carlos to give up this crazy plan.

"With oil? This is a good idea, but it is too difficult to execute, the enemy is now in the city, and it is impossible to bury oil in advance to attack the enemy army, plus there are many guys with energy fluctuations on the enemy's side, if you guess correctly, it should be the legendary knight of order and the priest of order, in the case of them, the attack of oil will not play much role, and it may even be used by others. ”

Carlos finally rejected Barri's suggestion, because there were two hundred Silver Wing Knights on the opposite side alone, not to mention other transcendentals, their combined energy strength had exceeded the combination of Carlos and Quis, and it was not impossible if he set fire to it and then let Quis increase the wind, for fear that the opposite side would blow the wind back, or quickly extinguish the flames ignited by the oil.

After all, this plane system is relatively perfect, and there are many excellent skills and spells that have been developed on both the order side and the chaos side. It is completely different from the primitive boar people in their own territory who only know how to temper their bodies, improve their own vitality and then ignite the fire of life.

The wild boar people's practices are dangerous and rude, and they will completely overdraw their life force and soul by doing so, and will have a great impact on external development, and they can only continue to put their life force into the blazing bonfire when they become stronger in the future, and the more the bonfire burns, the faster they will die, which is completely the way to die.
