Chapter 461: Demonic Trample (Part I)
[The third watch, the scattered monthly passes continue to be thrown up, I'll go prepare for the fourth shift]
In Lone Star City, there was a lot of singing and dancing, which was not at all in line with the atmosphere of the siege of the army. The number of troops in the city was only 200,000, but the number of the undead had exceeded 500,000. Lone Star City's eerie design allows the undead to take on the city's defenses.
Three tall fortresses, with a huge amount of large equipment arranged, densely packed without any holes in the defense. The city was built on a hill with only one wide wall, and if you want to attack it, you can't fight back and forth like other cities.
The defense of the city is handed over to half a million undead, and the number of necromancers in this city is also more than two hundred, and it is actually impossible to control them all. It's just that in the center of the city, in front of an eight-story magic tower, stands a hundred-meter-high tree, this big tree exudes a cold undead aura, and the branches are dense, and instead of green leaves, gray filaments grow on it, swaying in the wind.
From time to time, a bloody undead spirit was revealed between the gray filaments, which was Aini's powerful summoned creature.
Necromancers are different from elemental mages, in the mage stage, their combat power does not rise quickly, but the power of summoned creatures increases rapidly. Ani's plant undead and flesh undead are together, forming a huge undead space, which can continuously summon undead, which is almost equal to a giant summoning array between it and the undead plane, and in this summoning array, there are also a huge number of undead plane coordinate points.
Undead plants are extremely rare, and in the undead plane, even the Undead King may not be able to get them. The hundred-meter-tall canopy of the undead enveloped the magic tower, and on the thick trunk, there was a huge face.
On the hideous face, the mouth of the undead plant spat out one item after another, some of which were materials of the undead plane, and some were simply low-level undead. The undead plant is also spewing undead power, centered on the magic tower, and these undead power radiates into the sky, attracting the undead on the city walls.
These hundreds of thousands of undead live on the undead energy spewed out by the undead plants every day.
Aini was not in the Tower of Necromancy, in the back of Lone Star City, in a valley embedded in the mountain, building the Elemental Mage's Magic Tower. This is a magic tower built by Rex improvised, nine stories high, which keeps a watch on the nearby high mountains, and it is almost impossible for the Skaudis to enter from the air.
Aini is now in Rex's Magic Tower, and Rex gives Aini the letter from Neris.
Ani took the letter in his hand, glanced at it, and said, "Didn't Metatrin City send a large army?"
"Well, it's a battalion. Rex looked at Ani and said, "Although you are nominally a subordinate of Sareen, I know that you are also a friend of Sarin. ”
Aini laughed dryly and didn't answer. What Salin asked him to do, he naturally knew in his heart why.
For Salin's decision, Aini also felt that it was correct, it was not a way to always accommodate the Holy Rock City, and in the current situation on the mainland, Qin Yin was suddenly isolated, and Salin's idea was completely fulfilled.
Qin Yinren felt good about himself and was arrogant, and Yunliu and Skocchenya were not happy for a long time. Being able to stab the knife after a few years of war is just because he is worried about the strength of Qin Yin's army and the power of Alchemy City. Now that the Yunliu people tried to attack, Alchemy City adopted a patient attitude, which immediately made the Skocians excited.
"Aini, take Neris into the city. Rex smiled deeply, and Aini didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"Your Highness, you ......"
"Hey, Saleen sent Neris, it's definitely more than a battalion of strength, bring people in first, don't let the enemy think it's a strong army, understand?"
"At what cost?"
"At any cost. Rex replied. On Nellis's letter, there is a secret language between her and Saleen, which Aini can't read. Rex knew that there were twenty-four ninth-level warriors hidden in the army sent by Saleen. These ninth-level warriors may not be as powerful as Zola, but the gap in rank does not exist.
These twenty-four ninth-level warriors, if they were to lead them themselves, would definitely be able to easily break through the encirclement. It is even possible to use these ninth-level warriors to kill and injure a large number of enemies, even those strong in the enemy are helpless.
Saleen was asking himself what decisions to make. If you still have Holy Rock City in mind, then use these twenty-four powerful ninth-level warriors to defeat the Skochenians, in that case, the Tangulas Empire will immediately shrink its army, and it will not be able to find an opportunity in the third-line feint.
Ani shook her head helplessly and sent a letter back to Nellis. Although there are many strong people in the army outside, they have not yet reached the point where they can stop this teleportation array.
Nellis's reply was simpler, with only one word, good.
Aini then left Rex's Magic Tower to arrange for Neris. Naris is in the fortress north of Lone Star City, more than two hundred miles away from Lone Star City.
Neris looked at Ani's letter and smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line.
One of his own battalions is a full battalion, with 10,000 regular troops and more than 10,000 auxiliaries. I pulled a bunch of things from my own cart and cart, all for the garrison of this castle. There is also a seventh-level magician in his army, and with his own space equipment, he doesn't need any logistics vehicles at all.
Eight thousand demons out of the 10,000 regular army are the trouble, and those human stipends can be provided by Lone Star City.
Aini, Aini, I really thought that I was here to make up the numbers, although Saleen did not let himself expose the power of the twenty-four ancient warriors, but how could he let go of the great opportunity. Eight thousand demons are enough to cross the enemy camp.
"Ready to go!" Neris gave orders to the Battalion General of the Temple Legion, who read Aini's letter and wanted to set it up, but Neris stopped him and whispered a few words in his ear. The battalion of the Temple Legion nodded again and again.
It is worthy of being the most terrifying demon around His Highness, it is really cruel.
Night quickly fell, and a dozen necromancers summoned two hundred undead knights outside the castle, as well as more than a thousand skeleton soldiers, and then began to unleash the undead mist. This fog of the dead is a very low-level magic, extremely easy to dispel, and even very strong winds can't resist it.
The Skochenians claim to be a million-strong army, but in fact the main army is not that much, and the auxiliaries are less than a million. Lone Star City was built on a mountain, so many troops were divided into three parts, and the north side had to guard against the garrison in the castle two hundred miles away, and a strong camp was arranged.
Neris's army of 20,000 shrank in formation, and in front of them were more than a thousand undead, shrouded in mist, approaching the camp.
The Skocians are not weak, and they are much stronger than the Yunliu people, and the quality of the army may not be as good as Qin Yin, but the combat effectiveness is not bad. The vast fog of the undead was ten miles away, and a mage had already appeared at the edge of the camp, setting up two lines of defense.
Because it was not clear how many soldiers there were in the mist, the Skaudians in the camp did not send out in large numbers, but sent a small mercenary group out to test it.
There were more than 100 people in this small mercenary group, and hundreds of meters outside the fog, they began to sprinkle thistles on the ground, and then took out the hard crossbow, scattered, and waited with the hard crossbow.
Neris saw everything in her eyes and ignored it, the front row were all undead, this kind of hard crossbow without magic attached to it, it still hurt skeletons, but it couldn't deal with undead knights.
Neris simply waved her hand, and the battalion general of the Temple Legion saw Neris's gesture and immediately asked the soldiers to blow their horns, and the movement speed of the army suddenly doubled, rushing towards the enemy's camp.
It's already three miles away from the big camp, and the big camp can't see everything in the fog clearly, and it's not willing to let the magician take risks, these more than 100 mercenaries are completely in vain. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred mercenaries were swallowed by the mist, and the hard crossbows they shot only shot dozens of skeletons, and then they were hacked to death by the undead knights and trampled into flesh.
The trebuchets in the camp were not assembled, they were used for siege, and at this time, what could be relied on was the tall camp wall of the camp and the dense crossbows.
At a distance of three miles, the army charge was coming in a blink of an eye. The dense crossbow arrows in the camp flew out, and most of them were blocked by the undead, and after the undead, there were demons. These demons were all wearing magic armor, each of them was five meters tall, holding a heavy shield, and the crossbow arrows were shot at the shield, and they were directly bounced out, which accidentally injured several demons.
Seeing that the mist-shrouded army rushed to five hundred meters outside the camp, the mages in the camp unleashed the Wind Spell under the protection of the warriors.
Dozens of mages unleashed the Wind Spell at the same time, and the powerful air currents suddenly blew away the mist, revealing hundreds of undead in front of them.
A white-robed magician suddenly appeared in the camp, unfolding a scroll, a strong light illuminated the night sky, and the skeleton soldiers in the front row had already disintegrated before they approached the camp, and the soul fire was illuminated by the divine light, and simply evaporated.
The undead knights also smoked from their bodies and fell their horses, and the commander of the camp laughed. The alliance with the Holy See has given them the Magician, but they are not so afraid of the undead army. There are so many undead in the city, they don't dare to attack, these undead are at most 20,000, and they dare to attack their own camp?
As the wind technique continued, the demons behind finally revealed their hideous faces, and Nellis turned into a demon god, carrying her spear of more than thirty meters, and rushed up.
The soldiers in the camp were stunned, and in the firelight and moonlight, a demon more than twenty meters tall led a group of hideous monsters to rush forward, and the feather arrows shot at their bodies, but they couldn't shoot into the heavy armor.
The distance was too close, and the Skocians were reluctant to risk the magician, so that the demon approached this distance, and the defense of the camp was already empty, and Neris stepped over the camp wall in one step, and the spear swept away, and the three arrow towers were swept down by her with a single shot.
"Magician!" the general in charge of the rear of the camp shouted frantically, but it was too late, and the eight thousand demons under the leadership of Neris knocked down the camp wall, and the arrow tower behind it was like a building block in Nerice's hands. Naris's twenty-four ancient warriors were hidden in the human army, without any hands at all, and the eight thousand demons were like a sharp sword, plunged into the back of the enemy's heart.
