"Leaving the undead alone like this always feels like something is wrong. Catherine frowned, "Didn't the commanders of the troops let the large forces retreat and send small groups of troops to try to harass and attack?"

"But for the undead, it doesn't make much sense. Vral shook his head and said: "The formation of the undead always keeps the strongest part of the undead in the outermost part of the defense, so that the attack of our troops will inevitably directly face the elite of these undead, and a small force will not be effective at all." It's not that no one has thought of using long-range shooting to disrupt the formation of the undead, however, the alert range of the undead is longer than the range, as I just said, once entering this alert range, all the undead will take an attack posture, and there are also a large number of skeleton mages in the undead team, the range of the two sides is very close, if you shoot from a distance, I am afraid that before you have time to attack, you will be swallowed by the magic of a large number of skeleton mages. And there is a more critical problem, the undead don't know pain and exhaustion, and they don't need to eat and drink, they can be endlessly vigilant and work, but the troops on our side can't, even if they are the elite of the troops, they have to rest every one or two hours in the environment of the sighing desert, and they can't keep up with the rhythm of the undead. ”

"It doesn't sound promising. Catherine lowered her head and said in a deep voice, "Why do you always feel that it is a wrong decision to deploy in the desert?"

"It's not a mistake. "The deployment of a large army in the desert can shorten the encirclement line as much as possible, block most of the undead at the other end of the door of death, and also buy the rear enough time to build fortifications and mobilize armaments and materials, the only drawback, that is, if too many troops are invested in the front, the logistical pressure is relatively great." ”

"Are they all skeletons?" Pannis suddenly looked up and asked, "There are no other kinds of undead in existence?"

"For the time being, no other kinds of undead, ghosts, corpse witches, bone dragons, these higher-level undead have not appeared. Vral nodded, "However, it cannot be ruled out that there are other undead spirits." Ah, by the way, the skeleton includes the Death Knight. ”

"And then? It's not going to be that simple. Pannis asked, "If this were the only case, it would not have made all the forces urgently discuss countermeasures." ”

"And then, heh, and then on the third day, the commander at the front came back with another message. Vral smiled bitterly and said, "It should be said that there are two pieces of news, good news and bad news. ”

"Let me guess, the bad news is that the undead are starting to build fortifications. Pannis remembered what he had vaguely heard when he passed by the Presbyterian Church earlier, and guessed, "What have they cultivated?"

"Well, I think you heard that. Vral nodded: "More and more undead are pouring out of the door of death, even if they are arranged in a dense formation, they occupy a larger and larger area, and gradually begin to expand to the periphery little by little, under this pressure, the troops on the front line can only hold their own lines and repair the fortifications. But I didn't expect that when the undead's position expanded to a radius of about three kilometers, they actually began to build fortifications, which simply subverted everyone's perception of the undead, and no one ever thought that the undead could also build fortifications as quickly as a well-trained army. If you have seen the image transmitted back by the engram crystal from the front line, you will know that on the periphery of the position within a radius of three kilometers, the first is a circle of rejection horses, behind which is a low wall more than one meter high, and the sand between the low wall and the rejection horse was frozen by the skeletons with magic, and a whole circle of trenches was dug out, which was full of nail traps, this is the fortification that can be seen in the last picture transmitted, I don't know what else is stored inside. ”

"Wait, I have a question. Lina suddenly interrupted Vral and asked curiously, "It's a sighing desert there, what are they using to build fortifications?"

"Bones, lots of bones. Without a thought, Vral replied, "They have been transporting a large number of bones from the inside of the Death's Gate, and these bones infected with the energy of death are very strong in their hands, and they have no problem building fortifications. ”

"Then it's a reciprocal war. Pannis said thoughtfully: "Are these undead self-aware? Or are there self-aware undead behind them, or is it controlled by the Grim Reaper himself?"

"It's unlikely that Danakus will control it personally, with the barrier of divinity, he can't do such a complicated thing. Vral shook his head and said, "I prefer that some of the undead have become self-aware under the intervention of Danakus, of course, not all of them, otherwise it would be terrible." ”

"And what about the good news?" said Panismo, rubbing his chin, "Is the good news that the undead have begun to believe in the god of life?"

"Don't make such blasphemous jokes. Even with Flar's gentleness, he was angrily rolled his eyes by Pannis, and said dissatisfiedly: "Beware of the gods sanctioning your blasphemy. ”

"Okay, I just can't guess what the good news is. Pannis shrugged and said, "The best news I can think of is that the undead suddenly changed their faith and went to believe in Kaeya, the god of life, and stopped hating living beings at will, so that the problem would be solved." ”

"That's great, of course, but when you think about it, you know it's impossible. Vral sighed, "Although Nelly has been helping us, now that the door of death has been opened, it means that Nelly is afraid that she will ...... The rest of the matter can only be up to us. ”

"Well, maybe. Pannis smiled noncommittally and changed the subject: "And what is the good news you are talking about?"

"The good news is that after a certain number of undead have poured out, it seems that no new ones have appeared. Vral said: "For this reason, Speaker Warrenson of the Mage Nation personally flew over the Death's Door in an elemental posture a few days ago, and confirmed that for at least a full hour, there were no new undead coming out of the Death's Gate, which is different from the last time the dead returned. ”

"Hmm, why?" Catherine said suspiciously, "Isn't it supposed that the undead should appear continuously? Could it be that the newly resurrected Danacus does not have enough strength to awaken so many undead?"

"Big sister, shhh, don't talk nonsense. Lina pulled Catherine's arm and whispered: "Danacus doesn't need to take the initiative to awaken the undead, he just needs to save zài there, and under the interference of his will, the undead will wake up automatically, and it has nothing to do with whether his strength is restored." ”

"Uh, sorry. Catherine's face flushed, and she smiled dryly and said, "It's an accident, Eun, it's just an accident." (To be continued.) )
