Chapter 744: Ambush in the Canyon, Demigod Lich

On the Revenant Fortress side, the Frostburn Legion has never been able to discuss a feasible plan, and it seems that they have no better choice than to hold on to it. But the problem is, how could these people be incapable of holding a high position in the Frost Burning Legion. At least, if there is no reinforcement from outside, they can't hold it for a long time, and they are still very clear about this truth.

Although the Revenant Fortress is one of the few strong fortresses on the mainland, and if you count the garrison guards who have been temporarily recruited, the strength of the Frost Burning Legion is still relatively abundant. However, blindly defending passively will not solve the fundamental problem at all, and defending the city is just giving the initiative on the battlefield directly to others.

It's not a joke to defend it for a long time, but if they want to give up the huge defensive advantage of the Revenant Fortress and take the initiative to engage in a field battle with the other party, these high-level leaders of the Frost Burning Legion don't have such thoughts now. Although on the surface, the strength of the two sides seems to be not much different, on Yunlan's side, after the battle of Frost Volcano, the Qinglan Legion, which originally had only more than 30,000 people left, didn't know when, was actually replenished, and this remnant army not only regained its vitality, but even increased the total number to about 100,000 at once!

Although the Frost Burning Legion almost also has more than 100,000 elite troops, if the newly added soldiers under Yun Lan's command really have the kind of combat power that they showed in the first battle with the Frost Volcano, and conduct field battles under the premise of the same strength, I am afraid that the Frost Burning Legion really does not have much chance of winning!

Of course, the reason why the Frost Burning Legion did not dare to leave the Revenant Fortress lightly was actually a very important reason, that is, the original garrison of the Revenant Fortress was not only the Frost Burning Legion, this army. To know. The strategic position of the Revenant Fortress, how important and crucial is that, how can it be that there is only a garrison of 100,000 people? Never less than 300,000!

Especially in recent times, the overall situation in the Eri Continent has been extremely tense, and the importance of the Revenant Fortress has naturally become more and more reflected, in order to ensure the stability of the Revenant Fortress, the Dark Sun Empire has even taken the initiative to send a lot of additional troops, and now the total strength of the Revenant Fortress, if you count the 100,000 people of the Frost Burning Legion, the total number has exceeded 400,000! This is more than 400,000. If you count the other auxiliaries, their families, and the prisoners brought back from the previous invasion of Shannan Province, the total population of the Revenant Fortress is definitely more than a million people!

With such a huge fortress city with a population of one million, it is definitely not so easy for the Frost Burning Legion to completely control it. Although among the more than 400,000 garrisons of the Revenant Fortress. The 100,000 warriors of the Frost Burning Legion are indeed the most elite. The combat power is also the strongest, but even so, it is not easy to be able to barely control the situation of the Revenant Fortress now, once the Frost Burning Legion leaves the Revenant Fortress and goes to engage in a field battle with the other party. Maybe before the battle begins, Revenant Fortress will change hands again!

Don't look at the Revenant Fortress now, there are almost no people who dare to take the initiative to stand up and challenge the authority of the Frostburn Legion. But in fact, it's just a deterrence of the Frost Burning Legion's force, and I'm afraid there are really few people who are really convinced!

The reason why this situation has occurred is mainly because there is too little time left for the Frost Burning Legion! Although it is said that the Frost Burning Legion has already started from a very early stage, the infiltration of the Revenant Fortress has been carried out, but considering the existence of the royal family of the Dark Sun Empire, the Frost Burning Legion still doesn't care about going too far after all. After Yun Lan destroyed the Frost Volcano, although the Frost Burning Legion immediately sped up its actions, and even did not hesitate to take some drastic actions, it was necessary to quickly control this Revenant Fortress in the shortest possible time, completely under their own control.

But after all, the time is still too short, even if the Frost Burning Legion can temporarily forcibly subdue the other forces in the Revenant Fortress, but without a long time of clearing and combing, it is absolutely impossible for such a huge fortress city to truly become the foundation of the Frost Burning Legion's complete control like the Frost Volcano!

The current Revenant Fortress, on the surface, although it is still under the control of the Frost Burning Legion, but in fact, this fortress city has already been surging undercurrent, just like a mountain of dry firewood, as long as a little spark, it is likely to burn the plain into a burning city! And Yun Lan and her army, for the Frost Burning Legion, is such a little spark - no, this can no longer be regarded as a spark, it is completely a burning torch!

The high-level leaders of the Frost Burning Legion actually knew very well in their hearts that once they really waited for Yun Lan to fight, I was afraid that by then, the battle had not yet begun, and the interior of the Revenant Fortress would probably have to experience a civil strife in advance! At that time, in order to extinguish the fire in their own backyard, the Frost Burning Legion would definitely be restrained by a considerable part of its troops.

"This battle is really hard to fight!"

In the conference hall of the magic tower, the high-level of the Frost Burning Legion, more than one person, let out such an exclamation, the reason why they did not have much confidence in the upcoming big battle, the biggest reason was actually the instability inside the Revenant Fortress. But even if each of them could see the problem, none of them could come up with a solution to the problem!

Although after decades of continuous infiltration, a considerable number of the hundreds of thousands of defenders of the Revenant Fortress have indeed leaned towards the Frostburn Legion, and some have even become directly affiliated troops of the Frostburn Legion. But even so, there are still many troops that the Frost Burning Legion can't directly control, or whose influence is not enough! Although these still independent troops, whether it is strength or combat effectiveness, compared with the Frost Burning Legion, there is no advantage, but the existence of these independent troops has always made the Frost Burning Legion feel like a fish in the throat, if you want to prevent them, at a critical moment to run out to make trouble, then the Frost Burning Legion, will inevitably have a considerable part of the force, always monitor these independent troops, and in this way, it will inevitably have a great impact on the frontal battlefield; 。 Will these independent forces suddenly run out and give them a fatal blow in the back?

Even if the combat effectiveness of these troops may indeed not be as elite as the Frost Burning Legion, no matter what, they are still the first-line army of the Dark Sun Empire. As true professional soldiers, the combat effectiveness of these armies cannot be any worse! But now, this force that should not be underestimated is not yet under the control of the Frost Burning Legion, how can they endure it?

If it were other times, these high-ranking members of the Frost Burning Legion would definitely have countless ways to deal with these independent forces. With the 100,000 elites of the Frost Burning Legion in hand, they were confident that the other garrisons in the Revenant Fortress would not pose much of a threat to them at all!

It's a pity that the Frost Burning Legion obviously doesn't have that time anymore, after Yun Lan has destroyed the Frost Volcano. Just a short rest, after being replenished with troops. Immediately, he rushed straight to the Revenant Fortress without stopping, and he didn't give the Frostburn Legion time and opportunity to rectify the interior at all. I have to say that Yun Lan's seemingly reckless and impulsive behavior is actually just right. Hit the seven-inch soft underbelly of the Frost Burning Legion!

"This Yun Lan, can't it really be counted to this point, right?" Some of the high-ranking members of the Frost Burning Legion couldn't help but secretly feel awe-inspiring in their hearts, if this was the case, then that Yun Lan. Isn't it too scary? Is it really something we can defeat such an opponent?

What Yun Lan thinks, it doesn't really matter now, the important thing is that Yun Lan is finally here! After the army arrived at the Screaming Plains, Yun Lan did not immediately launch an attack on the Revenant Fortress, but first released, not long ago, after the Frost Volcano captured, the family members of the Frost Burning Legion, and waited until these released family members should have almost all returned to the Revenant Fortress, Yun Lan's army finally began to set up camp and march towards the Revenant Fortress.

The garrison of the Screaming Plains actually wants to participate in this battle, after all, everyone knows that if they can take the Revenant Fortress, this is definitely a record that is enough to be famous in the mainland, and with this Lord Yunlan, it is definitely possible to succeed! Unfortunately, the Frost Burning Legion has not really raised the rebel flag after all, although almost the entire continent now already knows that the Frost Burning Legion and the Dark Sun Empire are no longer all the way. But now, after all, the Frost Burning Legion is still nominally a vassal of the Empire, and it is really not good for the Screaming Plains to directly participate in this battle.

However, Yun Lan is different, although after the battle of the Frost Volcano, everyone basically already knows that the Qinglong Yun family is definitely on the side of the Dark Sun Empire now, but after all, on the surface, Yun Lan's army has not obtained the name of the Dark Sun Empire. As for why this army, which was not nominally part of the Dark Sun Empire, was able to come and go freely within the Dark Sun Empire, and everywhere it went, it was able to easily obtain sufficient supplies...... There is no need to say this kind of thing that everyone understands, so it is not necessary to say it so clearly.

All in all, Yun Lan shot at the Frost Burning Legion, there was definitely a good reason, after all, it was the Frost Burning Legion that took the lead in attacking her eldest brother Yun Feng, although the Frost Burning Legion was only an incarnation of Yun Feng at that time, but anyway, for Yun Lan, this reason was completely enough! Moreover, from the fact that she simply destroyed the Frost Volcano neatly, and still attacked the Revenant Fortress unrelentingly, it can be seen that the current Yun Lan has obviously not completely dissipated!

Of course, it may be that Yun Lan is just using the topic to play, but no matter what, the battle of the Revenant Fortress seems to be inevitable after all. However, there is another problem in front of Yun Lan, that is, before reaching the Revenant Fortress, there is also the difficulty of the Forbidden Mountain Range.

To be precise, it was the canyon between the Screaming Plains and the Revenant Fortress, the terrain of this canyon was too dangerous, and even if the army marched at full speed, it would definitely not be able to pass through guò quickly in three or two days. Perhaps, the Frost Burning Legion may not be able to stop Yun Lan from passing through this canyon, but they will definitely take this opportunity to kill and damage the living force of Yun Lan's army to the maximum!

Yun Lan guessed correctly, even if the high-level of the Frost Burning Legion finally made the decision to defend the Revenant Fortress, but it was absolutely impossible for them to turn a blind eye to the canyon in the Forbidden Mountain Range. Even if you want to defend the Revenant Fortress, this canyon is absolutely impossible to give up lightly. As a matter of fact. The reason why the Revenant Fortress can be called an insurmountable fortress is that this canyon in the Forbidden Mountain Range is definitely indispensable! In a sense, this canyon can actually be regarded as a part of the defense system of the Revenant Fortress.

It's a pity that the forbidden mountains are among them. The army is difficult to pass, so it is impossible for the Frost Burning Legion to deploy too many troops for the canyon, in the final analysis, the biggest role of this canyon is to delay and kill the enemy army to the greatest extent, if you want to really repel the enemy, after all, you still have to divide the victory and defeat here in the Revenant Fortress.

Although the Frost Burning Legion did not have too many troops in the Forbidden Mountains, these people were without exception. All of them are the elite of the Frost Burning Legion!With the geographical advantage of the Forbidden Mountain Range and Canyon, they will definitely be able to greatly slow down the advance of the Yunlan army and buy enough time for the Revenant Fortress to reorganize the interior. What's more, as long as these elite fighters of the Frost Burning Legion can kill the opponent's majesty fiercely in the canyon, they don't seek to kill or injure the opponent's troops. As long as it can hit the opponent's morale hard, it can be said that the purpose of the frost-burning legion can be said. Even if it's really done.

However, can the development of things really be as smooth as they imagined? Although the arrangement of the Frost Burning Legion is actually quite perfect, there are basically no obvious loopholes, after all, they are all battle-hardened veterans. Especially now that the Frost Burning Legion is at a critical juncture of life and death, these high-level leaders of the Frost Burning Legion are naturally more cautious and old.

But for Yun Lan, being cautious and old also means that there is nothing new! For Yun Lan, who once captured the Revenant Fortress for the first time. Even if it has been hundreds of years and he has not been here in person, but for the understanding of the Forbidden Mountain Range, Yun Lan asked himself, he is definitely deeper than those guys in the Frost Burning Legion!

"Deferry, all the rats in the mountains will be handed over to you. "Just entered the canyon, the front army was attacked, the enemy is from both ends of the canyon, using a strong crossbow long-range sniper, although the number of attackers is not large, but it can be seen that the person who shot is obviously not a mediocre hand, the shot is very decisive, and never in love with war, at most three crossbow arrows are shot, and they are immediately transferred, although the soldiers of the Qinglan Legion are well-trained, but in this case, they are still unable to catch up, after all, the other party has occupied a geographical advantage at the beginning.

However, for this situation, Yun Lan obviously had already predicted it, if it was according to the usual practice, at this time, it should be sent elite scouts to compete with the attackers on the other side of the canyon for the strategic heights on both sides of the canyon one by one. But in this way, not to mention that they are just fighting each other, the key is that although this approach can ensure the safety of the army, in fact, it will greatly delay the speed of the army's march, don't look at Yun Lan's current material supply is quite abundant, but if it is really in this canyon, delaying for too long, it is really not a good thing for her!

Even if you have a solid rear base like Screaming Plains, from Screaming Plains to the Revenant Fortress, this canyon in the Forbidden Mountain Range will never be able to get around. Unless Yun Lan was willing to leave at least 10,000 elite troops and completely control this canyon in his own hands, it would be difficult for the supplies from the Screaming Plains to be sent to the Revenant Fortress smoothly.

But the problem is that Yun Lan's current strength is only 100,000 people in total, unless it is really a last resort, otherwise, Yun Lan will definitely not divide his troops lightly. Revenant Fortress is not a frost volcano, and it is definitely not that easy, and it can be easily captured. Otherwise, Yun Lan would not have been able to bring an elite army of 100,000 people this time.

Yun Lan doesn't have so much time at the moment, and the other party is in this canyon, in fact, although the current situation seems to be quite unfavorable to Yun Lan, but in fact, Yun Lan is really familiar with this trick, and it can be said that there is no new idea at all. If there is time, Yun Lan can use a variety of different methods to calmly crack the other party's arrangement, but at the moment, Yun Lan is not that interested, so he directly came up with the most direct, and at the same time, the most simple and crude way to deal with it.

"Yes, my eldest lady, your army will be able to march unhindered in a day at most. Deferry bowed respectfully and gladly accepted.

"No, you only have half a day, and besides, your range of activities is limited to ten miles at both ends of this canyon, remember, the follow-up supplies will have to be transported through Guò, so don't make it stink. ”

"Ah, it's a pity, but Miss, don't you really plan to let me participate in the battle of the Revenant Fortress......?

"That's enough!Deferry, you'd better remember what your identity is, don't think that if you advance to the demigod realm, you can be presumptuous in front of me!" Yun Lan's face suddenly covered with frost, "Do your own thing, don't worry about the rest!"

"Alright, alright, I'll get rid of those 'rats' soon. Deferi waved his hand casually, but in his heart it was a pity, as a demigod lich, in his opinion, the war that Yun Lan was going on now was just a game at all, as long as he unlocked his restrictions, not to mention a mere revenant fortress, even if it was the Heavenly Dragon Empire, he would definitely be able to turn the world upside down! (To be continued......)
