Chapter 209: Small Victory
Skeletons that require more attacks to be killed greatly delay the Centaur Brigade's onslaught. The Centaurs, who had slowed down in speed, were unable to cut through the Skeleton Brigade's formation, and they had to stop halfway through, and the huge body of the horses made the Centaurs fall into the siege of the skeletons.
More centaur soldiers were unable to deploy due to the shrinking cone, rescuing the encircled allies.
The skeletons that came to support were approaching, and if they didn't make quick tactical adjustments, the two brigades of centaurs out of the city would be surrounded and eaten by the undead.
"Let the Pegasus Knights cover the retreat of the untangled centaur soldiers, this time we will face an enemy stronger than we thought."
Christo also saw that these skeletons had more health than ordinary skeletons, and that it was impossible for the centaur army to go out of the city to accomplish his tactical goals. At this time, it is most important to withdraw this centaur army in time, and every soldier has important value for defending the city.
However, just as Christo gave the order to retreat, he saw patches of magical beams of light shoot out from the rear of the undead army.
Then, a fountain of various areas of magic enveloped the battlefield and its surroundings.
The centaurs are each possessed by several state magics, weak and sluggish.
The skeletons, shrouded in area magic, were in a completely different state, and they ran as fast as the centaurs in their normal state.
The skeletons that came in from behind moved quickly around the battlefield, while the centaurs couldn't run as if they were stuck in the mud.
The mage heroes who rode on Pegasus immediately used the Advanced Exorcism Dafa to give the centaur army access to state magic.
One by one, the debuff spells were eliminated, and when the advanced slowness Dafa was also expelled, the centaurs were finally able to run again.
But before they could lift their horses' hooves, another wave of advanced state magic shot out from the back of the undead army.
A flash of debuff magic was once again applied to the centaur soldiers, who were unable to move again.
At this time, the elven mages in the army really had the urge to vomit blood, but so many centaurs couldn't help it. They continue to use exorcism to exorcise debuffs for the centaur team, hoping that the centaurs will be able to run out of the enemy's cast range before the skeletons surround them.
The centaurs ran and ran, but were eventually blocked by the skeletons who rushed up from the flanks.
More and more skeleton soldiers rushed over, and the two centaur brigades were surrounded by the skeleton corps under the control of the magic mage's incessant sluggishness Dafa.
The Pegasus Knights, who were originally used to pick up the centaur troops, had no choice but to retreat, and it was impossible for the surrounded centaur army to escape, and these air armies were also very afraid of these spellcasting classes that could cast many high-level status magics.
If the Pegasus Knight is continuously spelled with status magic, it is likely to suffer a significant loss.
The destruction of the two detachments of centaurs had already caused heavy losses to the elven defenders, and if the Pegasus Knights were to suffer any more heavy losses, the battle would not have to be fought.
The Pegasus Knights retreated, and the skeletons encircled the Centaur army.
The centaurs' wide bodies made them vulnerable to the siege of skeletons, and the bone swords flew in all directions, and one by one the centaurs let out a wail.
Soon, two brigades of 2,000 centaurs were wiped out.
Christo tried to fight a counterattack to boost the morale of his soldiers, but it turned out to be a crushing defeat. There are treasures in the army of the undead that weaken morale, and there are treasures that increase the health of skeleton soldiers. At the same time, the forces were strong, and such a situation was extremely unfavorable to the defenders.
There is definitely a distance limit to the morale-weakening treasures, and I need more troops to replace the defenders in the city, so that these soldiers whose morale has dropped too much can go to the rear to restore their morale.
And the enemy army is so strong, I also need more troops to participate in the defense.
"Order all the armies in the Forgotten Mountains to assemble to the rear of the Forgotten City, keep all the defenders out of their way, and let all our ballistas aim at the undead's spellcaster, and attack and destroy them as soon as they come within range."
Under Christo's orders, the elven forces scattered throughout the Forgotten Hills began to move towards the Forgotten City.
All this was clearly seen by the bright light of the mountain road.
The elves who had been guarding the transit point of supplies walked out of the well-defended camp and headed along the mountain road in the direction of the Forgotten City.
Through Kuka's report, Da Liang also knew that on the battlefield of the Forgotten City, his Black Fire Leader army fought a small battle of annihilation. It was this battle that put the defenders under pressure and began to mobilize the troops in the rear to participate in the defense of the Forgotten City.
Da Liang flew into the sky on the frost dragon Astro, searching backwards along the densest mountain roads of the elven army.
Although the area of the Forgotten Hills is large, it is still within the reconnaissance range for the speed of the dragon and the altitude of its flight. Moreover, the vegetation in the Dead Realm is extremely scarce, and there are no barriers, so the elven marching army can be easily spotted.
Astro kept circling within the range given by Kuka, and the fog in the sky of the Dead Realm allowed him to boldly lower his altitude without worrying about being spotted by the elves traveling below.
One elven army after another was marked on his map, and according to the density, number, and direction of these elven armies, Daliang narrowed down his reconnaissance range step by step.
Then he found a cave against the mountain wall.
Some tall dead trees stand out in the bare mountains, and on closer inspection, tufts of green grass grow on the ground outside the cave entrance.
There are also lawns in Daliang's Destiny Manor, which require magicians to constantly nourish them with the magic of natural attributes in order for them to grow.
The grass grows here, indicating that there is natural magic spilling out of this cave.
And the natural magic here should come from the magical realm, the dimensional teleportation array must be in this cave, and the environment on the other side of the teleportation array is affecting this side of the teleportation array.
And those dead trees are supposed to be the deadwood warriors who are responsible for guarding the caves.
The Deadwood Warrior and Deadwood Guardian are level 9 and level 10 creeps of the Elven Clan. The high defense, high blood and tangled roots of the class make many high-level soldiers reluctant to directly attack the Deadwood Warrior, which is one of the best defensive classes.
Da Liang counted it, there were a total of 23 deadwood warriors here, and there was no need to think that they could rush into the cave if they were not destroyed.
And although I know that the elf's plane portal is in this cave, I don't know how big the inside of the cave is? Where is the specific location of the Dimensional Teleportation Array? Are there any other elven defenders in the cave, and what is the scale?
It seems that my brother needs to go in and investigate it himself.
