Section 96 Collapse

It was the first time for Kedasa to see so many ghouls. In countless small-scale sneak attacks, the Bins were already quite familiar with this ugly, rickety monster. These monsters are so tenacious that ordinary damage is too hard to stop them, and in fact, the priests of the Church believe that they actually have only a little sentient sentience. These monsters are known for their penchant for the flesh and blood of the dead, and they are intimidating and disgusting. But for humans, the real danger of ghouls is not their strange strength and tenacity, but their long claws. These claws are due to the large amount of carrion remaining, and the carrion, along with the bodily fluids they secrete, eventually condensed into a deadly poison. A person who is scratched by these claws can die in a matter of minutes.

It seems that the war of those on the left is not easy to fight...... Kedasa pondered inwardly as he turned his gaze to his foe in front of him.

The central main force of the Bin, that is, the Kaidasa itself, is facing a strange undead army. At least in the previous encounters, Kedasa had never seen these monsters. But there were already spies who brought him relevant news. These undead look a bit like skeletons, but they're actually very different things. They were covered in muscle and skin, though they had long since dehydrated and withered, they wore ancient armor of black iron and bronze, which was dusty and rusty, and they were as orderly as human warriors, though their empty eyes flashed with the evil fire of black magic. At the front of their formation, the vampire's blood dragon banner fluttered in the wind.

Rumor has it that these monsters, known as the Grave Guards, are the most powerful and deadly force of the vampires. But for now, they aren't as powerful as they might have hoped, as the Grave Guards are fewer in number than the Skeleton Warriors. If they are properly hit with artillery and muskets, it is likely that most of them will be annihilated before they enter close combat.

However, outside of the first line, the vampires must have used the cover of the queue to hide the rest of the troops. The undead army now occupied a very gentle hillside, no more than twenty cubits high. This kind of hillside is not a condescending advantage in battle, but it is enough for the vampires to hide some other troops from the view of the Hamas. At the same time, this terrain also has a good defensive effect on the straight line attack weapon such as the musket. As long as the undead retreated a little, from the ridge line of the hillside to below, the muskets would not work.

Kedassa looked at his own military face with some pleasure. The facts in front of him clearly showed that he was now the most powerful of the Hama clan. This was not only relatively, but also absolutely, because the center of his forces was much stronger than the two wings combined. At least half of the strength of the Hama clan was already in his hands.

"My lord, are we going to attack?" asked one of the generals, his voice a little nervous.

"Nope. As soon as Kedasa's mind turned, a good idea immediately came to mind. "You. He turned to face one of the heralds beside him. "Go and inform Damon and let him launch a wave of attacks first, and just say......" he thought for a moment. "If victorious, flank the vampire's central force, and if defeated, lure the vampire away from his vantage point. By the way, and you," he ordered another subordinate. "Ask the magicians what magic they can use now. โ€

I don't know if the road can be done...... Looking at the smoke and dust stirred up by the heralds' horses' hooves, Kedasa pondered Damon's reaction. If he hadn't miscalculated, Damon's forces had not been able to get supplies for a whole dayโ€”that is, they were hungry and tired at the moment, and they were afraid that they would not be able to exert much strength before they were routed. Speaking of which, the vampire is really lucky, the skeleton warrior with the lowest combat power actually happened to catch up with Damon, the lowest combat power.

But it doesn't matter, Damon is just a roadblock in his path anyway......

"My lord, the magicians have reported that the winds of magic are neither violent nor calm today, and that they can use a variety of magic, and they will choose according to the situation of the battle. If you have a special order, you can also give it to them in time. "The subordinate who was looking for the magician has returned, and has reported a little good news. "Also, the artillery is already in place and ready to fire at any time. โ€

But now is not a good time to open fire. Presumably after a wave of shelling, the vampires will just retreat. Although the cannon is a projectile weapon in a sense, if the vampire retreats, then it will inevitably have a great adverse impact on the range and outcome estimation of the cannon. It's better to find a way to lure the undead legion out a little...... To be honest, the undead legion is actually not strong at all, but that Bayrell can run faster than a rabbit.

Kedasa waited for Damon to act, but he waited long enough to find that the right flank was motionless, and even the herald had not returned. There is no doubt that this was a trick by Damon, who refused to be the first to fight at the command of Kedasa.

That damn guy, still preserving his strength in this life-and-death battle!Kedasa almost wanted to yell at Damon in the face. But in fact, in this environment, he has nothing to do with Damon. This frustration made his face twist involuntarily.

"Pass my orders, and let the sword and shield soldiers march in small steps. "Damon can't be counted on, he's on his own. "Let the halberd stand by and form a formation in preparation for the passage of the sword and shield soldiers. He pondered. The vampires must be lured away from the favorable terrain, otherwise the muskets and cannons will not be able to play their real role, which is equivalent to making the ranged troops with absolute superiority of the Bins unable to play their normal role.

"Keep the musketeers on standby?" a stupid subordinate beside him asked. Kedasa couldn't help but glare at him. It's really stupid, although according to the normal rules, it should be that the melee troops should use long-range weapons to weaken the enemy as much as possible before engagement, but the current situation is that the vampire retreats back, which can completely disable the musket troops, and the cannon battle results are discounted, and the mage even has to be forced to enter the front line to cast spells normally.

His glare had an effect, and the fool didn't dare to ask any more.

Without the cover of ranged attacks, the swordsmen should be defeated by the grave guards. In order to pursue the defeated sword and shield soldiers, the Tomb Guards must get out of the favorable terrain. and was immediately stopped by cannons, magic, and muskets. As for the defeated sword and shield soldiers, Kedassa thought very clearly. The sword and shield soldiers will suffer some losses, but not very badly. This is due to the fact that, firstly, under the cover of ranged and magic, the enemy's pursuit will be effectively contained, and secondly, they can retreat to the rear and regroup through the gaps left by the halberders.

"Inform the mages to make sure that vampires can't use magic that speeds up the undead. โ€

......

Damon stared at the phalanx of the undead legions in front of him.

Although he was far away, he could still clearly see the sea of bones. The corpses of these tragic ancient warriors had been lying dormant beneath the dirt, but vampires and their minions had awakened them from their slumber of death and driven them into battle. Most of the skeleton warriors had only bare skeletons, and a few wore armor that had long since decayed. Their eyes glowed with an unclean glow, and they quietly gathered together in their form, waiting for their master to give orders.

In the ranks of skeleton warriors, ragged flags flutter in the wind, and broken horns sound from time to time, which makes people can't help but think of a miserable elegy.

As terrifying as it may seem, Damon knew that the skeletons had no real intelligence. Most of them are simply driven by the will of the vampires to lift their swords and spears and raise their shields to fight. They are sluggish and weak. In fact, their real threat lies in the psychological aspect. Because the living who fought against these warriors had to endure all kinds of supernatural visions. If it is a soldier who lacks determination and will, he often cannot calmly witness a group of undead soldiers in ancient armor staggering towards him.

A small part of his body told him that if he attacked at Kedasa's behest, he might be able to break the vampire's left flank in one fell swoop.

But that's not possible anymore. His reason immediately drove this little temptation out of his mind. His soldiers had not eaten for a day, and they were listless, all because of other reasons to be able to continue to stay at their posts. In the event of a melee fight, the soldier who lacks physical strength may not be able to delay for long before he runs out of energy and collapses. Skeleton warriors, on the other hand, never tire and never flinch. The odds aren't that great.

And it's too late to regret it at this point. Now in his team, the middle level has already understood and agreed with his plan. In fact, the expected widespread opposition barely materialized, and even one or two opposed guys were quickly persuaded by their peers. After all, for the average warrior, being able to keep their families alive is an irresistible temptation, let alone the land and autonomy promised by the vampires. However, the real fundamental reason is what Kedasa did.

Damon was not surprised to see that the guy in Kedasa had finally begun to attack. Command was never that guy's forte, though. Instead of firing a gun, he sent a lonely sword and shield soldier to attack the front of the undead legion. As long as you are not an idiot, everyone will recognize this as a trick to lure the enemy, a complete bait intended to lure the other person out of favorable terrain. If it was Damon who was commanding the undead legion at this time, then he believed that he could eat the bait and spit out the hook.

A small squad of cavalry approached him from the rear, temporarily attracting Damon's attention. The leader of the cavalry galloped over and ran in front of him before stopping his horse.

"How's it going?" asked Damon eagerly without waiting for the other to speak.

"It's done. The other party replied succinctly.

In that case, the vampire should be satisfied......

By this time, the outpost battle had begun, and the sword and shield soldiers had charged into the ranks of the grave guards from the front. The living and the dead were entangled, and for a moment, the sound of killing was everywhere, and blood was everywhere.

As Kedassa had expected, the sword and shield men were quickly routed, and the soldiers retreated in panic. But what he didn't expect was that the vampires would take advantage of the situation to launch a full-scale attack. The left, center, and right lanes are pushed forward at the same time.

"Great, go, urge the magicians to cast spells and cover the retreat of the defeated army. The cannon also fired at me. Let the musketeers take the sound of the cannon as a sound, and fire as soon as the cannon goes off!"

Kedasa ordered excitedly. He expects artillery fire and magic to reduce the vampire's undead legion to smithereens. But he soon sensed something was wrong. There was no magic, no artillery fire, and when the undead army took advantage of the situation to cover up, the ranged troops he had prepared were completely silent. A hundred steps, fifty steps, the enemy getting closer, but nothing happens!

"Oh no, my lord! Damon's men have the artillerymen and magicians under control!" someone shouted and ran over, covered in blood and angry. Kedasa looked to the right in horror, only to see the vampire's blood dragon banner being raised in the right wing of the Bin's army.
