Chapter 100: Siege from Two Sides

"There is a big guy approaching, the No. 5 counterweight trebuchet of the East City Wall is ready to load, adjust the angle in advance!"

"Also, the ballista near Point 5 is ready to be replaced with armor-piercing bolts."

"The mage group prepares, and the target is ready to cast a spell when it gets closer."

Outside the city walls, a huge stitch monster about six meters tall was slowly approaching the city wall with heavy steps.

The Stitch Monster is an undead monster stitched together by a large number of corpses, also known as an abomination, with its core located in a thick corpse hollow, thick skin and flesh, and great strength.

It is armed with a variety of heavy weapons, most commonly a giant bonhopper and a bloody hook or meat fork, which can easily tear through leather armor, even if the chainmail scales can be forcibly torn apart by the abomination of the immense force.

The meat hook has a chain attached to one end, which can be thrown to hook the target, and then forcibly drag the prey back with the powerful power of abomination.

The only way to deal with this kind of big guy is to use heavy weapons, trebuchets and crossbow arrows, and of course spells can also be used.

At the same time, after Li Qing received the battle report from his subordinates from the front line, he ordered Long Shou to fly over and support him according to the situation.

Then, there were no more, there were more than a dozen such abominations, and there were more than a dozen large-sized resurrected corpses, so one of them was close to the city wall, and there was no need to panic at all.

The abomination slowly approached the walls under the crowd of undead, and the commander shouted as he approached a certain distance:

"Counterweight trebuchet No. 5 ready, 3, 2, 1, launch!"

The prepared soldier smashed the tether open with a hammer, and the huge counterweight stone fell, picking up the boulder in the net pocket at the other end of the lever and flying high into the air, drawing a long arc in the air and striking the abominable stitch monster's chest with precision.

The unimaginable force smashed the large rotten and smelly corpses on the surface of the suture monster's body, and even the iron chains wrapped around the body were smashed alive, and the huge force smashed the six-meter-high stitching monster and overwhelmed the dozen skeletons on the side.

But not dead, this blow only smashed part of the stitching monster's body, but did not hurt the core inside.

The Stitch Monster struggled to its feet, and continued to stagger towards the walls.

The commander turned his head expressionlessly and shouted to the seven or eight ballistae that had been pushed to the side of the city wall:

"Ready, go into range and fire freely without command!"

After speaking, he looked at the dragon vein snake man mage group behind him and said:

"Wait for the abomination to enter the cast distance without commanding, and attack freely."

He didn't have time to care about this, because by this time the enemy had launched a full-scale attack, and the many stitching monsters that had stopped behind, the resurrected corpses, and a large number of bone monsters had already left their places and approached the city walls.

"Bang!"

With a dull ejection sound, a boulder flew over the city wall and flew out of the city, accurately hitting the skeleton of an unknown giant beast, and hundreds of kilograms of boulder were wrapped in unimaginable force, and the huge white bone skeleton monster nearly five meters high was smashed to pieces with one blow.

The resurrected corpses and stitching monsters still have carrion cushions, even if the counterweight trebuchet hits the front in seconds.

But it is different to replace it with a hard but brittle white bone skeleton monster, as long as it is hit, the skeleton will collapse directly, and even if the soul is not extinguished, it will lose its combat effectiveness.

Under the pressure of a standard counterweight trebuchet, no skeleton can cross a red line, and if it gets close, it will be destroyed with a single blow of precision-like a guided missile.

Below the city walls, a large number of skeletons and zombies lay under the city walls, squeezing up layer by layer and starting to stack.

Apparently, the commander of the rear was ready to use one of the most common siege tactics of the undead, backfilling tactics, preparing to stack under the walls with corpses.

At the same time, the various undead heroes in the rear also slowly approached the battlefield, and a large number of ghosts floated in the air in the direction of the city wall.

On all four sections of the city wall there are commanders, professional adjutants, and professional observers.

Observers observed the battlefield and reported the ghost to the adjutant or commander as soon as they found it, and then a part of the dragon snake people were assembled and put into position.

To deal with ghosts, it is better to use spells.

Fortunately, the five hundred dragon vein snake people were pulled up, so that the whole law system was good, and the effect of dealing with the ghost was good, plus the dragon guarding the dragon law flew up to meet the battle, and quickly blocked the ghost.

There are three ways to attack the ghost, one is a direct attack, which will add two additional damages, cold and undead, to slow down the speed, and the lower the target's constitution, the stronger the deceleration effect.

The second type of attack is the soul claw, the ghost can directly attack the soul of the target, and even directly forcibly grab the soul of a mortal from the body, which is almost impossible to resist, only some special spells can resist, or rely on their own powerful soul to forcibly resist.

However, the second way is that ordinary ghosts are not capable of doing it.

The third type of attack, occupy.

The powerful ghost forcibly pulls the target soul out of the body, and then enters the body itself to take control of it.

But this kind of control is only temporary, after all, it is not your own body, and it will naturally be rejected.

These two undead heroes each have hundreds of ghost subordinates, most of them only have the first attack method, only a few have the second attack method, and the third attack method is estimated to be only the strongest ghost.

Hundreds of transparent ghosts pounced on the walls of the city wall in the rain of arrows, and swooped down against the swords raised by the defenders.

Several soldiers were pounced on by the ghost, their faces trembled and their faces quickly turned pale, and their bodies froze, as if they were frozen.

Two dozen or so ghosts rushed out from behind the soldier as they walked by, grabbing the soul of a soldier who was struggling like a corpse.

Although the soul of the detached body can still live after returning to the body for a short time, in this chaotic battlefield, no one has time to help their soul return to the body.

However, they are not certain to die.

The ghosts threw their souls out and were about to pounce on another soldier on the side, but the dragon snakes, who had been prepared, rushed up.

They are armed with weapons blessed with energy spells that deal substantial damage to ghosts.

The ghost did not continue to attack the souls that were originally caught, nor did they push away, and these souls that were pushed out of the body would be attracted by the body not far away, and slowly float back.

Not all lost souls will return, but most will come back to survive.

And all this was so inconspicuous in this chaotic battlefield that neither the defenders nor the enemy paid attention to these struggling souls, and the two sides tore back and forth on the high walls.

As more and more undead poured in, the backfill tactics were used to fill the bottom of the city wall, especially after several large resurrected corpses and abomination rushed in, the huge size also pressed up, directly piling up the corpses several meters high.

At this time, most of the dragon veins and snakes on the city wall were haunted by ghosts, and the remaining part was also fighting, and there was no time to burn the corpses.

Li Qing sat at the core of the Divine Domain, turned on the projection function of the Divine Domain, and there were four huge light curtains around him, which showed the situation around the city, and he could clearly see the current fierce battle situation.

There are too many enemies, and the two strands add up to nearly 50,000 undead, and even if they stand still, they will cut for an unknown amount of time.

However, he didn't panic too much, although the enemy was strong, he was not weak, and he hadn't shown his real strength until now, not to mention hole cards such as the lava crystal dragon and the Iron Golem squadron, even the war spells were useless.

Before the enemy leader LinkedIn did not make a move, and before the city wall was breached, Li Qing would not use these hole cards.

Although this battle was dangerous, the situation was still in Li Qing's hands.

Because this is an opportunity for the entire God's Domain.

Such a large army of the undead can just be used for military training.

Thinking about the civilians and remnants of the city that slaughtered a snake people, they all trained such a strong elite, and now these 50,000 undead are all combat soldiers, and the overall combat experience they can provide can be called massive.

At the end of World War I, those who can survive will definitely be able to improve their strength, and they will be promoted several times in a row, and even directly promoted to the top.

So.

Li Qing withdrew his gaze, thought for a while, and ordered Dai Lirong to prepare to gather two thousand civilians.

He had to expand his troops, in case the losses were too large and the troops were not enough, and he would not have time to be promoted for a while.

Dai Lirong's movements were fast, and he had already completed the assembly in less than ten minutes, Li Qing quickly issued a series of orders to the commanders of each city, and then left the command center and headed for the Divine Domain Farm.

At present, most of the commoners of the Divine Domain are concentrated on the third floor of the Divine Domain Farm and the Divine Domain Ranch, and a small town has been established on these four floors, each with a population of about 4,000.

Dai Lirong only needs to send Li Qing's order to the towns, and the mayor of the town summons the militia team and directly draws the militia team, and there is no need to select them one by one.

After a year, these civilians had already become accustomed to life in the Divine Domain.

Although the town is not large, and each floor of the Divine Farm is not very large, for these natives born in the foreign plane, most of them have never left the village in their lives, and the impact is not great.

Now only some of these civilians are farming, and the place is so big that it doesn't take too many people to get busy.

So every family only needs one person.

In order to let these dependents have something to do and not be idle, Dai Lirong still thought hard with Xia Mang and formulated a set of circulation order within the territory.

First of all, the first and third floors of the Divine Domain Farm are divided into farmland, the first floor is dedicated to rice, the second floor is dedicated to vegetables, and the third floor is dedicated to wheat cultivation, all of which are varieties of two crops a year.

Then one person from each family farms.

Another person to serve the lord, for example, some territories need people for public construction, or usually send people to dig the ground, cut wood, etc., all from this.

After smoking these, there are basically few idlers in a family.

Of course, there is also work to be done if there is a superfluous.

Some jobs in towns and cities need manpower, and militia units in towns need manpower.

Now Dai Lirong and others are already thinking about whether to establish a financial system in the territory, try to pay them salaries, and allow a small number of civilians to open shops and trade freely.

This is an inevitable path, and when the scale of the people within the Divine Domain increases, the original model will slowly be eliminated.

It's like the Black Stone Realm, which is the Divine Domain of the Black Stone Divine Seat, which has a population of more than 18 million people, and it has long been a complete society, and the civilians in it can freely enter and exit the Black Stone Realm and trade freely.

Of course, a War Lord apprentice like Li Qing definitely can't do this, his divine domain is too small, and it is not embedded in the Eternal Tree, and the interior is still completely independent.

But you can try it out first, and establish a small social system within the Divine Domain to lay a foundation for future changes.

After all the militia gathered, Li Qing took out 1,000 standard imperial infantry cards and 1,000 standard imperial archer cards, and promoted these ordinary civilians to the military in large numbers.

By the time all the promotions were completed, it was already an hour later.

Fortunately, you don't have to come one by one for promotion, otherwise you won't be able to finish it with two thousand exhaustion.

After the promotion, all the soldiers changed their equipment, transferred them directly, and were pulled to the battlefield on the spot.

Weapons and equipment don't need to be done on the spot, he has prepared a lot of them before, all high-carbon refined steel weapons, multi-layered large wooden shields, and super strong synthetic armor three-piece sets, with a total of thousands of sets, which is completely sufficient.

Each section of the wall was supported by more than 300 new forces, and the pressure dropped dramatically.

The extra 800 and a part of the troops that had been reserved before were kept as a reserve to burn the corpses of their teammates thrown back from the city walls.

This is against the undead, whose spiritism can resurrect corpses.

Therefore, before the start of the war, Li Qing gave an order that all the dead in the battle should be thrown back to their inner city wall before the enemy performed their psychic skills, and there was a large number of fires behind the city wall, and the corpses would be burned directly.

After an hour and a half of preparation, the siege battle had just entered its most intense state, and a large number of skeletons and zombies had already rushed up the city wall along several slopes of flesh that had been forcibly backfilled, and tore apart the defenders on the wall.

At the same time, the stalwarts of the army of the undead, such as ghouls, had just approached the walls, and a large number of ghouls were also surrounding the lich hero and another terrifying knight hero approaching the walls.

At this time, the dragon guarding the dragon law was not idle, spreading his wings and flying in the air, cooperating with the dragon vein snake man, and tearing into a ball with the ghosts rushing from all directions.

The abilities of these ghosts are completely beyond the power of the dragon guard and the dragon law, and their direct attack on the soul cannot shake their strong dragon soul, but the dragon guard and the dragon law can cause fatal damage to the ghost regardless of ordinary physical attacks or spells.

It's also that the speed of the ghosts is too fast and flexible, otherwise they don't know how many they will die if they spray down with a mouthful of dragon breath.

However, after more than an hour of tearing and killing, most of the ordinary ghosts have died in their hands, and now there are only a few elite ghosts and two ghost heroes left.

These two ghost heroes are both fifth-order heroes, not sixth-order transcendental, but in these two undead hero troops, there are indeed quite a few transcendental-level powerhouses.

In addition to the two hero leaders, one or two of the heroes commanded by the many classes under his command have been promoted to the sixth order, plus one of the strongest resurrection beasts and one of the tallest stitching monsters are also of the sixth order.

Combined, the total number of powerhouses who have reached the sixth level is about eight or nine, far more than Li Qing's side.

However, the stitching monsters and resurrection behemoths in this are not really sixth-order, at best they are pseudo-transcendent, that is, they have no transcendent traits and no transcendent aura, they are simply pushed up by a powerful physique and strength.

Strictly speaking, this can only be called the sixth order, and cannot be called transcendental.

Transcendent is above the sixth order, but the sixth order is not necessarily extraordinary, and the two cannot be confused.

This kind of pseudo-transcendent combat power with empty physique and strength is stronger than the fifth-order, and it is much worse than the real transcendental, even a powerful fifth-order hero like the Dragon Shou Dragon Law may not be able to beat it, and even Li Qing can fight one alone.
