Chapter 398: Death Knight
On the other side of the moat, on the bridge connecting the rich area with the outer city.
The dense zombies were surging like ocean waves, slapping wave after wave on the bridge, and on the makeshift city wall, the soldiers of the royal family and the knights of the temple were exhausted, although there was no formal engagement, but the continuous archery also consumed everyone's physical strength, and even Adès himself felt that his arm was sore.
"It can't go on like this, the soldiers are taking turns to rest for a shorter and shorter time, but the undead on the opposite side still don't seem to stop, if it drags on for a while, a few death knights or a few high-level demons jump out on the opposite side, then the moat can't be defended here, and no one can resist such an impact. Ades wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to his followers.
"Young Master, at this time, we can only rely on those of us who have not participated in the battle in close combat, if the enemy really sends high-level demons, we must be at the forefront. Mia looked back at Anna, who was protecting Winnie and Molly behind her, and now only their stamina had not been consumed.
Ades shook his right arm, looked at Evis next to him, and asked, "Even, can you still support it?"
Ordinary soldiers and those probationary knights can have a rotation and rest time, but Ades don't have them, in addition to the fact that they are mid-level professionals, the attack power of Yvis and Ades is also one of the reasons.
"Ade, there's another zombie huddle in the water over there......" Evis gasped and pointed her arrow into the distance, on the other side of the bridge, a corner that their bows couldn't hit. Zombies began to huddle and jump into the water. Want to form a human bridge and fill the moat.
"Anna. You protect Nancy over there, hit them, remember to use scrolls, don't use your own spell slots.
Evan, let's hold back a little bit so that Mia can take care of Winnie and Molly's safety. "Adès issued the order without thinking too much, and this has happened more than once.
Stepping back slightly, Mia also ordered the soldiers and knights next to her to come over to fill in the position, this was the first time that Adès and their retreat rested. The soldiers in the vicinity knew that this elite squad had been holding up on the city walls for a whole morning, and their eyes were full of admiration.
Anna protected Nancy's rapid movement in the position, and the number of priests and mages in the defense force here in the moat was very small, so Nancy and Yunnie had been moving like this several times.
Demons don't attack just one place, the entire inner city is the target of their attacks, connecting the rich areas of the outer city, the temple area to the east, and the commercial area to the west. They are all within the range of the demon's attack, and they must also keep a certain number of mobile troops, as well as those wheel guards who guarded the position all night last night.
Therefore, the number of soldiers and professionals in the hands of the commander who is now in charge of this defense is limited, and it is somewhat stretched. That's why Nancy needs to be like a firefighter.
Sneaking up on the wall, Nancy stood behind the battlements under the deliberate protection of the soldiers and Anna. Take advantage of the protection of the city walls and keep an eye on those zombies at the opposite bridgehead.
"Greasy surgery. Greasy surgery. "Tear open two scrolls in succession, and throw them at the position of the zombie holding the group. The black, oily object drenched the zombies, and a three-ring magic scroll of the "Fireball Technique" was torn open and shot at the zombies.
The raging fire ignited the zombie in an instant, and there was a scorching smell in the air, and Nancy, who had finished casting the spell, quietly withdrew from the city, and said to Anna who protected her as she walked: "In the next month, I don't think I'll be interested in meat food." ”
Anna nodded knowingly, "Especially the grilled meat......"
"Don't talk about barbecue!" Nancy glared at Anna, this woman, that kind of disgusting she said that, and she didn't let people eat tonight?
Behind them, the soldiers cheered when they saw the zombies being burned, as long as the moat was still there, then the enemy had to cross the bridge to come, and as long as the bridge head was guarded, then the threat of the enemy would be at its lowest.
But in the hearts of professionals like Nancy and Adès, they don't think so, why let people like Mia and Anna maintain their strength, because demons can teleport, they can teleport to the city walls at any time, and the barrier of the moat has no effect on them at all.
But the demon hasn't seen the action for a long time, I don't know what I'm waiting for, these are the things that the commander and Adès are most worried about, and because of this, they will suppress the spell-casting profession in the team, and strictly prohibit them from helping to clean up the zombies in the outer city.
It is also a wealthy person like Adès who will arrange Nancy to use the scroll to block the zombies' actions, which is also the other party's commander deliberately luring the defending spellcasters and consuming their spell slots, this is a kind of yang conspiracy, if you don't burn it, the zombies will all go into the water and fill the moat, and if you burn it, you will consume the spell bits.
Just as Nancy wondered why the demon on the other side was so cunning, there was a commotion on the city wall again, and some of the captains of the overseers were shouting at the soldiers and telling them to keep their composure.
Nancy hurriedly returned to the position where Molly performed the "Reverence Technique", and asked Ades who was still on the city wall loudly: "Ades, what happened on the other side, why did the soldiers become flustered?"
"Demon Hunter Spider and Death Knight have appeared on the other side!" Adès stared at the opposite side, behind the empty bridge, several Demon Hunter Spiders and a few wearing black armor and riding undead horses, even ordinary people who did not turn on the magic aura could see the black negative energy surrounding their bodies.
"I knew it wasn't going to be that easy today. Mia looked at the other side and muttered something in her mouth.
"Evan, can long-range snipers shoot them?" Ades asked Eves next to him, turning his head.
"It's too far away, there's enough time for them to be on guard, and even if they shoot out, it won't work. ”
Evis was a little unsure, if the level of those dead riders was not high, long-range sniping would still be effective, if the level before death was relatively high, then such a distance was enough for them to see the arrows, and they could choose to avoid or block.
"Then keep an eye on them, and if they come close, give them a hard blow. ”
"yes, I see. Evis nodded, rummaged through the quiver, and found the armor-piercing arrows.
"Ade, you have to be careful of those demon hunting spiders, in case they teleport directly to the city wall, and then those dead horsemen charge again, the position will be completely chaotic. Nancy spoke out loud what was on her mind.
This is a common tactic of demons, which is to use teleportation to create chaos in the enemy's defense line, and then take advantage of the weakness. (To be continued......)
