Chapter 983: The Battle of the Northland of the Scourgeon Legion (Part I)
In the wilderness of the Far North, the shadow of death is spreading unscrupulously across this land. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Countless naked-bare skeleton warriors with eerie bones in their hands, some rusty and broken, while others were brand new as if they had just been forged, these bones that had lost all their memories of life and only retained the memories of the battle were like demons returning from hell, demons who only wanted to kill. Under the coordination of the Death Knight as the commander, the expendable skeleton warriors and ghouls were divided into phalanxes to attack the scattered lines of the Oger barbarians from four directions.
The Oug barbarians are indeed as savage and bloodthirsty as described by other races on the continent, they are like a swarm of locusts that are not afraid of death, and no matter how they are killed, they will flock without fear and have overwhelmed all enemies in a terrible number, in the war between the Kingdom of Saxony and the Oug Barbarians over the years, some of the officers and knights who were ordered to go to the Kingdom of Saxony to support and provide military advisory assistance have all described without exception, the Oug barbarians who are besieging the city under the city walls are simply spreading plaque and plague, and they can even climb the walls with the corpses of their own people in the absence of engineering equipment, which makes people feel creepy when they look at it.
Only this time the Oger barbarians are facing an enemy who is also not afraid of death, to be precise, this time the enemy itself is the embodiment of death, and there is not even a concept of supply and morale, as long as it can still move, whether it is skeleton soldiers and ghouls as consumables, or more powerful death knights and abomination trolls, they will continue to fight until their bodies are completely torn apart.
On one side of the battlefield, six Death Knights are commanding the Bone Cavalry to launch a charge, thanks to the low primitive wisdom of the Oger Barbarians and the heavy snow that has been incessant recently, the Ogue Barbarians trapped in the Far North have almost eaten up the few remaining creatures in the Far North, and the Ogue Barbarians have completely degenerated into infantry by now, and there is no cavalry force that can keep up with the pace of the Death Knights.
Under the charge of the death knights, the army of the Oger barbarians, who were already in chaos, suddenly seemed to be chopped by a battle axe to cut a huge gap, and the six death knights took the lead in killing it, and the evil weapons inlaid with three runes in their hands were like bloodthirsty scythes frantically harvesting all life, and the death horse under the crotch not only has the characteristics of the undead and will not get tired, but also the death war horse itself has its own frost aura that can freeze the warm life close to him.
"Charge over~ crush them and make them tremble under the iron hooves of the Scourge Legion!"
The Death Knight who bore the brunt of the battle shouted, although the slogan was meaningless to the undead who were not self-conscious, but these elite knights of the former Ballaika Kingdom still retained some of their habits after being transformed into Death Knights, although the Oger barbarians were also desperately resisting, but the weapons of the Oug barbarians were too rudimentary, their arrows were either badly worn or even bone arrows made of bone, these arrows that were seriously lacking in penetration could not penetrate the heavy full-body armor of the Death Knight with magic resistance attached, even if a few poisonous arrows could occasionally get away with shooting into the gaps in the armorThese toxins are also useless to the undead.
Just as the Death Knights tore back and forth through the formation of the Oggs, the army of undead on the side launched an orderly attack from both sides to fill the gap, preventing their own side from going too deep and being surrounded by the other side.
The white-knuckle battle is certainly tragic, but on the battlefield, only the sound of fighting on the side of the Oug barbarians is abnormal, the skeleton soldiers on the side of the undead army will always maintain silent killing, the ghouls will occasionally make some tooth-sore gnawing sounds, and the rest is probably the sound of the abomination trolls wielding cleavers and locks, but this sound is too insignificant for a brutal war, but the silent and sound fighting method of the undead reflects the terrible atmosphere of this death army, which is more terrifying than the hysterical shouts of the Oug barbarians。
In large-scale battles, the strength of an individual is extremely limited, unless it is a powerful transcendent at the top of the power pyramid, even some ordinary transcendents can hardly change the form of a war with their individual strength. There is no transcendent person in the world who thinks that he is a powerful person who is invincible in the world, such as the gods above the sky, including the five ancient dragon gods, have not isolated themselves from their clansmen and compatriots and believers, because they both know that it is not advisable to fight alone.
And this is even more evident on this large-scale battlefield!
In the war with the Kingdom of Saxony, the beast is the last enemy that the soldiers want to see, and often it costs a few high prices to deal with a beast, but in this war, the beast did not show its overwhelming strength as before, even if the coalition army formed by these Og barbarians has released all the hundreds of beasts, even if the enemy facing it is not the cover of the walls and fortifications in the past, even if it is facing the same amazing number of undead on the plain where the two armies are opposed, plus the chaotic command system and fighting separatelyThe beast quickly dissipated as if it had been thrown into the river.
"Your Majesty the Lich King, eighty percent of the beasts sent out by the Oger barbarians have been annihilated, and all the corpses are being transported. "At the base camp of the Scourge Legion, Karthas, the Death Caroler, reports like a staff officer.
The base camp of the undead army is like a human being, and it has chosen a higher hill where the view is endless, and you can almost overlook the entire battlefield, which is very suitable for the commander to grasp the battle situation at any time and make corresponding deployments, and a decent tent has been set up next to the Lich King Arthas, and in the tent, the native undead from the other world of Atholos Dead Island have established a psychic communication network on the battlefield as guests and collaborators, so that the death knights who fight intelligently on the battlefield can receive the battle situation and the commander's information anytime and anywhere, and can make corresponding deployments more efficiently and quickly。
Just like the radio communication technology of another world, the establishment of the psychic network has made the tactical deployment of the Scourge Legion even more effective with half the effort, and with the real-time grasp of the battlefield situation, the dark warrior Thornwald and the death lord Ingham have completely annihilated the violent beasts of the Oug barbarians with minimal losses.
"The battle went even better than expected, almost a one-sided slaughter. ”
The undead from the island of the undead swore that Gugel Aetholos walked outside the tent and looked at the battlefield that was still fighting not far away, the defeat of the Oger barbarians has become a settlement, although the number of this race like cockroaches and rats is large, but it is divided and surrounded by the undead army and squeezed into a group, and the Oger barbarians may be a very strong and difficult opponent for humans in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but they will not have an advantage in the face of the undead, and the most pitiful thing is that the Oger barbarians seriously lack mass destruction methods such as magic and magic crystal cannons, relying on some rudimentary weapons to fight the undead hand-to-hand is simply a self-defeating act.
As long as there are people with normal IQ on the entire continent, they know that the last thing the undead are afraid of is physical attacks.
On the battlefield, the Oug barbarian used the blunt knife in his hand to cut off the skeleton soldier's right arm holding the weapon, but the skeleton soldier did not stop at all, pounced on the other party and entangled with it, before the Oger barbarian could break free, the skeleton soldiers in front and behind had already swarmed up with the weapon in his hand, and the guy was covered in blood holes. On the other side, a ghoul crushed an Oger barbarian to the ground and tore it with his intestines bursting out of his abdomen, and several equally injured ghouls soon arrived to join in the bloody feast.
"Well~ not bad, yes! Getting so many materials in one performance is a big gain. "Necromancer Gugel was very satisfied.
For the undead, especially the necromancers who specialize in necromancers, the money that the living value is meaningless, and only two things are the most indispensable are souls and corpses, although the island of the undead on the continent is the habitat of all the undead who do not want to rest in peace, but the island of Atholos as the homeland of the dead will not produce such a thing as corpses, except for a few people who come to seek death or fools who get carried away by reading knight novels, almost all the living are scared once they find the island of the dead, how far can they escape, so the only way for the undead to get corpses and souls is to go to the mainland。
In the turbulent war years, the undead can also get a lot of materials from a mass grave or a battlefield that has just ended, but now in the era of peace, there are almost no decent large-scale wars except for some regional skirmishes, and by the time the undead find out the news of a conflict somewhere and hurry over, the conflict may have ended, and the battlefield has already been cleaned. And even the recent border war between the Karlsemon Empire and the Kingdom of Kreses also had the intervention of the Holy See, which discouraged the undead who were preparing to go over to 'get a vote' on the island of the dead of Atholos. In the case of not being able to get the material, the only choice for the undead is to take advantage of the night to dig graves, and there are occasional encounters with 'peers', of course, these peers want the finances of the deceased and the undead want the deceased itself, originally the goals of the two sides did not conflict, but because the necromancers on Athoros Island recently are too accurate materials, so these peers who also came to dig graves were also voluntarily joined the team of the deceased.
Over time, the people of various countries on the continent have also come to the law, the graves of deceased relatives have been dug up, if the body is still without the burial goods, it means that the tomb thieves have patronized it, if the burial goods are still without the body, it means that it has been patronized by the necromancer!
In contrast, it is clear that the loss of a loved one's body is more frustrating than the loss of some belongings, and the necromancer's already stinking reputation is second only to that of tomb robbers. (To be continued.) )
