Chapter 64: Locking the Position
readx;? The pre-set burning field would only destroy a small fraction of the undead, with thousands of skeletons falling into the flames. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Fengyun Novel Reading]
The slow carrion that followed was not so easy to ignite, and what was even more frightening was that the carrion corpses that kept dropping white maggots still emitted this suffocating stench. If it weren't for the mask to cover the nose in advance, I'm afraid the guards on the wall would have been smoked to the ground.
Compared to those god battalions that are still slamming, the soldiers of the mobile battalion are methodically preparing to fight against the undead who may break into the city at any time. Spearmen and swordsmen put up defensive phalanxes that could fight against a large number of enemies.
Having learned from the defeat of the Bavarians, they no longer used the clumsy phalanx, but adopted a more flexible line. Even when they do encounter an attack from area magic, they can calmly reorganize their defenses.
The command of the mobile battalion has been handed over to Kakulos, and the mercenary leader, who had just taken care of the troubled ghouls, has now been entrusted with an even more important task by Prince Harold.
Now that the defense of the entire city has been put on his shoulders, in order to boost morale, His Royal Highness the Prince will lead the Maple Leaf Knights to raid the necromancer. Although Naxi and others persuaded many times, His Royal Highness the Prince still adhered to his original intention. In his opinion, it would be a shame for the Maple Leaf Knights to not be able to follow them in their charge.
The horsemen had already pulled their horses out of the stables, and they and the blacksmiths put the final touches on the horses' hooves. It has reached a critical moment, and it must not be because of some small mistakes that the soldiers of the entire logistics battalion are busy in order to ensure that the Maple Leaf Knights can fight in the best condition.
Perrault also followed Prince Harold as he walked among the warriors who were about to charge, constantly encouraging them.
He knew that there were still many newcomers to the Order, and one or two battles would not allow them to grow into the sharpest sword in Bohemia. There are also many people present who will feel lost and frightened, and even feel numb to the upcoming battle.
What Perrault has to do is to unravel these confusions, fears and numbness as an old man, so that each of them knows how great the responsibility is.
That's right, the Maple Leaf Knights are about to embark on a death charge, and no one knows where the end will be. Someone will fall at any moment. Then engulfed by endless undead.
But sacrifice can be redeemed.
Only by killing the necromancer who controls the undead army can this battle be won. As long as you can stop the undead here, then no amount of sacrifice will be worth it.
The men of the logistics battalion had prepared Naxi's mount early in the morning to follow the charge of the Knights, which was a tall horse with a red head. Combat effectiveness in these days. His horsemanship was not as good as those knights, but he was excellent for a mage.
But now he is not in a hurry to get on the horse, as Probetz is the highest magician, he is also responsible for finding out the specific location of the necromancer. The undead as far as the eye can see hide the necromancer's location so well that even simple detection magic can't find their location.
Therefore, Naxi had no choice but to use another means to find these cunning enemies.
in the leaf flange. Fat Bazok once told him about the principle of magic fluctuations. The stronger the magic unleashed by the magician, the more pronounced the fluctuations he produces in dimensional space.
If you can feel this faint ripple of magic and make accurate calculations based on the strength of the magic, then it is also possible to find the location of the necromancer hidden in the undead army.
But no matter how much Naxi tried to explore the dimensional space, he could never feel the necromancer's movements.
The undead's movements are not driven by the necromancer's moments, and only a simple magic command is required to allow them to execute the will from the necromancer. Therefore, it is normal for Naxi not to feel the so-called so-called magic ripples, and he needs to wait for an opportune moment.
The staggering carrion shuffled towards the Probetz Line, ignoring the flying arrows on the ramparts. When these undead who emitted a strong stench were about to approach the city walls, the commander of the Divine Battalion began to order all the archers and crossbowmen to stop firing.
All the defenders above the city walls began to evacuate their positions under the organization of the commander and went to the open space behind the mobile battalion to assemble. Prepare to engage the enemy with the soldiers of the mobile battalion.
Mandosa, who was hundreds of meters away, did not notice the defenders' retreat from the walls. In his opinion, except for a small accident just now, everything on the battlefield is still going according to his script. When the carrion approached the walls, that was when he was ready to destroy Probetz once and for all.
"Let me show you the violent siege that has been going on in Bavaria, and you mere mortals should be amazed. Mandoza's smile became particularly hideous, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
At the moment when the staggering carrion approached the low city wall, all the carrion that came into contact with the stone wall stopped. Without any expression, their whole bodies were trembling violently, and their skin, which had already festered and was already festering, began to bulge.
Not only the skin, but even the entire body shape changed drastically, and the carrion turned out to be like a rapidly inflared sphere. When they swelled to the point of jaw-dropping, all the carrion corpses exploded in an instant.
The scene of blood flying was like a rainstorm full of filth. Explosions rang out in front of the entire line. The low walls of the city became staggered like tofu in the violent explosion, and some vulnerable areas were even blown away.
Flying pieces of putrid corpses and fragments of masonry swooped down on them, and the soldiers of the mobile battalion raised their shields in the first place to block these deadly attacks. Although the timing of the defense is very appropriate. However, many people were still affected by the explosion of corpses and fell in the extremely corrosive bloody rain.
"Naxi, did you find the location of the necromancer? Prince Harold, who was already ready to charge with all the Maple Leaf Knights, asked anxiously.
At this time, the undead swarmed through the gap in the blasted wall, and the soldiers of the mobile battalion immediately met it, blocking the undead army from further invading. The thin line could only be maintained temporarily, no matter how brave the soldiers of the Bohemian Guard** were. None of them can eat for too long.
Naxi is not a magical genius like Bazok, and has a strong sense of magic. Although Bazok taught him this technique, he could only sense some spellcasting states that were not far away.
There is no doubt that the necromancer needs to use a lot of magic to explode corpses at such a distance and such a wide range. If Bazok's theory is not wrong, then it will definitely cause a lot of waves in the dimensional space, but why haven't he sensed it until now?
Although it was a big gamble, the chips were also raised by themselves, and Naxi, who had no clue at all, now really regretted formulating that risky tactic that was a one-off battle.
Naxi, who had never been in such a hurry, was now sweating profusely, and now the fate of all people was in his own hands, which had never happened in the past.
Just when Naxi didn't know what to do, the mage's codex, which had been tied around his waist and covered by his clothes, unexpectedly emitted a faint light that others could not perceive at this time.
These stars pierced through the barrier of the clothes and melted into Naxi's body. Naxi, who was still in a meditative state, began to feel a little light in front of her eyes in a state of confusion.
The clouds were suddenly dispelled by a strong gust of wind, and Naxi's somewhat psychedelic vision finally became clear. Faint fluctuations drifted from afar, and this familiarity was just as it was in Ye Flange at that time.
"I can't be wrong, this should be the magic fluctuation emitted by the explosion of the corpse just now. Naxi, who closed his eyes tightly, suddenly cleared the altar.
"I already know where the necromancer is!" Naxi said with a long sigh. (To be continued.) )
ps: It's hard to write about how I used to feel, and maybe thirty or so chapters will be over.
