Chapter 208: Centaur Attack

The armies inside and outside the Forgotten City are still fighting against each other, and the undead army that has come over does not seem to be in a hurry to attack the city controlled by the elves.

The sky in the Land of Death was always so gloomy, as if the colder temperature was blowing gusts of cold wind, and the wailing of ghosts could be faintly heard.

The commander of this elven army is an elf, his name is Christo, an elven general with experience fighting in the realm of the dead. Among his heroic skills is Advanced Leadership, which increases the morale of his army by 3, allowing his army to maintain a strong fighting spirit in the Land of the Dead for a long time.

With the army overwhelmed, Christo stood at the head of the Forgotten City and personally commanded what could have been a very difficult battle to defend the city.

The temperature seems to be colder.

The exhaled air condensed into a white mist.

At the same time, Christo also found that the morale of his army seemed to have dropped too much.

The aura of death in the realm of death will cause all living soldiers to lose their morale here, so the elven army in the Forgotten Hills adopts a rotational combat system.

Some of the elven armies were stationed in the Forgotten Hills, while others were resting in the realm of Dreams on the other side of the plane's teleportation array. When the morale of the elven armies in the realm of death drops to a certain level, the two armies rotate.

Christo knew that the elven army defending the Forgotten City had just been rotated and had good morale, and after the bonus of his senior leadership skills, he should not have a look of fear for the undead army.

Seeing his soldiers begin to waver, Christo knew that their morale had now dropped to negative values.

Morale is useless for the undead army, they will not explode because of high morale and strong fighting spirit, nor will they be passive and afraid of war because of low morale. Therefore, when the undead army fights, it will try to reduce the enemy's morale and reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness.

The most effective way to do this is, of course, to dispatch the undead ultimate creatures, both the Bone Dragon and the Ghost Dragon, which have the class trait of -1 Morale of the enemy.

However, Christo did not find the ultimate creature of the undead on the battlefield, and the characteristics of the Bone Dragon and Ghost Dragon-1 morale were impossible to reduce the morale of his army to a negative value in the face of his advanced leadership skills of +3 morale.

This army of the undead has a strategic treasure that lowers morale.

A powerful strategic treasure that can reduce morale, in one fell swoop, it will cut off the combat effectiveness of the elven army due to high morale, and then use the environment of the dead realm and the pressure of the undead army to reduce the morale of the elven army little by little.

Christo knew that if he waited any longer, the mere demoralization could crumble his army.

A counteroffensive must be fought, and even a small victory can boost the morale of the army.

Christo observed the army of the undead in front of him.

With skeletons as the main body, there are enough siege weapons, but there are too few flying troops and ranged troops.

Skeletons and siege weapons are slow to move, and if you use a centaur with a fast transfer speed to go out of the city to fight a counterattack, you can completely eat a brigade of skeleton soldiers, and then retreat to the city with the response of the Pegasus Knights.

If the enemy dares to pursue them with ghosts, I will take the opportunity to destroy them, and then the sky will be mine.

Such a small counterattack is fought several times, and if the enemy does not want to be eaten little by little, he can only attack the city.

It's better to fight now than to be easily wiped out by the enemy if your morale is too low.

Determined not to sit still, Christo ordered the gates of the Forgotten City to open, and the two centaur brigades that received the order quickly rushed out.

Centaurs are the first-level soldiers of the elven race, and the only cavalry species among the first-level soldiers of all races, they move fast, attack powerfully, and have a large number.

Fighting alone, skeletons are no match for centaurs; In group combat, fast centaurs can easily gain a local numerical advantage through movement.

This time, the elven defenders dispatched two large groups of centaurs at once, and after they left the city, they galloped with all four hooves and kicked up clouds of smoke and dust, and then rushed towards a slightly advanced brigade of skeletons on the right flank of the undead army.

The Pegasus Knights, who were originally flying over the Forgotten City defense, also cooperated in gathering and moving, slowly hanging behind the centaur army.

The centaurs showed the mobility of the cavalry, forming two cones with strong penetration ability as they moved.

The forward assault team of the Cone Formation is a squadron of 100 men composed entirely of centaur captains (elven 2nd class), their snow-white fur contrasts with the brown centaurs, and their weapons are more lethalbers than the spears used by centaurs.

During the gallop, the halberds and spears were all pointed vertically at the sky, like a moving forest.

And the army of the undead moved slowly, trying to rescue the skeleton brigade that was about to be attacked.

The rear of the skeletal brigade and the flanked skeleton brigade were close together, but they were moving far behind the centaurs' impact speed.

The soldiers on both sides were getting closer and closer, and the centaurs who were about to rush into the skeleton army laid down their halberds and short spears together.

The horses' hooves beat the ground, and the two centaur brigades stabbed into the skeleton brigade, and the rear team continued to rush in, trying to penetrate the skeleton brigade in one fell swoop, and then turn around and completely destroy the skeleton brigade, and finally complete the retreat.

The centaur captains who led the front line easily rushed into the formation of the skeleton brigade, and they wantonly brandished their halberds and slashed the skeletons in their path.

But they soon sent out that these skeleton soldiers turned out to be very durable.

The skeleton soldiers, who could have been killed with up to three attacks, have not yet fallen after five attacks by the centaur captain.

This is definitely not due to the defense bonus led by the Hero Commander.

A soldier's lethality is the basic attribute of the damage dealt, and the ratio of attack to the enemy's attack and defense affects the increase and decrease of the final damage dealt.

The upper limit is 400% and the lower limit is 30%.

However, if the hero command of the two commanders is not too different, the damage dealt by the soldiers will not be doubled.

The higher the level of the hero on both sides, the smaller the increase or decrease in the damage dealt by the soldier.

To illustrate with normal heroes: a soldier of a level 30 hero commander can deal double the damage of a soldier of a level 10 hero commander; A soldier of a level 50 hero commander cannot deal double the damage of a soldier of a level 30 hero commander, and he cannot even achieve a 30% increase.

Therefore, if the centaur captain can't kill a skeleton soldier in five attacks, it is not caused by the attack and defense of the hero commander's bonus, but because the skeleton soldier's HP has been greatly increased.
