Chapter 359. Kant's ultimate purpose

Thick dark clouds are like the darkest ink, and the canopy of death is obscuring the sky and the sun, obscuring the sky and the four fields.

The sentry oasis is no longer able to take on the rays of the sun.

Except that the solar disc is still emitting a faint golden light, bringing light to this place like a real sun, then this area that is completely shrouded in darkness has long been extinguished by evil in the cold.

At this time, the defenders of the castle of "Drehem" had been fighting fiercely for a long time.

There is not even a concept of time.

The canopy of death shrouded the place, obscuring the sky and the sun, not seeing the sunrise and sunset, and not knowing the day and night.

It's like confusion and confusion.

It's more like...

Hell of the undead that never shines!

Outside the cliff under the city wall, Bai Sensen's scattered bones were randomly spread on the ground.

If you look closely, you can also find that many crossbow arrows and bows and arrows are densely inserted diagonally on these bones, just like the vegetation and grass that grows, mixed with the gray-black decaying armor and weapons, which do not look like the human world.

This is like a hell that cannot be reborn, an underworld that will sink forever, and a dark and dull end.

An unimaginably bleak place.

Stand on the city walls.

Kant's face was calm, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

Two days and two nights have passed, and if the calculation is correct, it should be 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky outside the thick dark clouds may be about to slowly dim and enter dusk.

He was still at the top of the gate of the urn city on the south side.

Bandak stood beside him.

And on the ramp below the gate of the Urn City in front of them, there were also full of skeleton warriors, holding their rotten halberds, opening their jaws and letting out a silent roar.

This is not a bluff.

The dark blue soul fire in his eyes flickered.

The halberd in his hand also swung forward with a heavy slash and stabbing attack, this is a basic tactical move, and this group of undead who still have basic biological instincts are used as skillfully as in their previous lives.

The iron gates made of cast iron and the 20-centimeter-thick log gates made a muffled sound.

The skeletons want to come in.

But apparently.

Kant and the soldiers stationed at the gates did not welcome the skeleton-only necromancy.

No one likes a group of dead people who should have died and slept in a mausoleum, and they will stand up and appear as skeletons or zombies with rotten old things, yes, no one likes them!

The first impression is often the most important impression that keeps the impression constant over a long period of time.

And the undead is precisely the worst first impression.

Whoever sees these dead who should have died get back on their feet will not feel good.

What's more, these undead are really terrifying in appearance, hating the living in emotions, without any communication at all, and even spreading diseases and plagues, and even bone-chilling cold!

Just look outside the sentry oasis, the dark and evil canopy of death.

Even the solar disc can only survive the stalemate.

Without the help of this strange thing that contains extremely positive energy, the Sentry Oasis would have been shrouded in evil and darkness, and was consumed by the terrifying undead in various negative buffs such as cold and disease.

Perhaps, in the end, even his own corpse will become a part of the undead and become a member of the army of the undead.

"It's embarrassing to think about."

Kant spoke softly, a little gloom flashing in his eyes.

He looked at the still extremely large number of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers below, and there was extreme depression between his eyebrows: "Now that we are surrounded by these terrible undead, we are already in an embarrassing situation. ”

"Of course."

Bandak nodded: "On the surface, it does. ”

Kant frowned and said, "Do you have a good solution?" ”

"Not really." Bandak shrugged: "Lord Lord, on the other hand, those undead want to attack the city, but there is no good way, even if they can attack the city wall, what can they do?" ”

"Hmm." Kant groaned and did not answer, he understood what Bandak meant.

These undead were not enough to threaten the city walls.

Even if they had completely attacked a certain point and used the bones of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers to build a bone ramp that would allow subsequent troops to rush up the walls, it would be nothing.

Because Kant also had an infantry corps stationed at the city walls.

For example, there are 1,000 Svadia light infantry, and 3,000 civilians who can be called up as armed militias at any time!

And for the current main force of the undead, that is, those skeleton warriors, not to mention the Svadia light infantry wearing a full set of chain mail, armed with swords, shields and spears, even the militia wearing leather armor and armed with spears and maces can be lined up in a neat formation, and they can easily be killed by slashing head-on.

Even a sturdy civilian with a scythe, a plain linen burqa, and a fur hat can make 4 or 6 skeleton soldiers scatter and kill 3 skeleton warriors if they try their best!

The ability to fight alone is not an advantage of the undead race.

Of course, even if they fight in groups, the undead are not good either, it is not their advantage.

A constant war of attrition.

Doing everything to draw the enemy into this endless war of attrition is the advantage of the undead.

Consume materials, consume physical strength, consume morale, consume faith, consume time, consume soldiers, consume soldiers, consume everything that can be consumed, and consume each other alive and dead.

This is where the advantage of the undead comes in, and after the other party is consumed, new soldiers reappear due to the characteristics of the necromancer.

It's still an endless army of the undead.

Continue the endless attrition.

Just like now, the besieged Kant has been pulled into a war of attrition by the undead.

The battle, which lasted for two days and two nights, did not stop at any time, and those tireless undead were still attacking frantically, knocking on the iron gate and the thick wooden gate all the time, making a clanging sound.

So much so that by now, everyone is familiar with this sound, and even numb.

This is the war of attrition of the undead.

A lot of arrows have been consumed, physical strength has been consumed, and while time is consumed, morale and faith have been consumed.

Kant turned his head.

On the city walls, the elite Vecchian marksman had rested, sitting behind with his eyes closed.

And even the Swadia crossbowmen of the 3rd level were already lazily lying on the city wall, bored watching the skeletons under the city wall knock on the city gate in vain, only occasionally shooting an arrow to kill the most fierce guy for fun.

It's only been two days and two nights, and everyone has already consumed a lot of faith.

After all, they are all living people.

Even the waiting desert bandits below were just leading their desert horses back and forth, instead of riding their war horses around majestically as before, inspecting any anomalies.

The castle of "Drehem" is extremely safe at the moment, even when it is under siege.

But this safety is not comfort.

It's not almost numbing laxity!

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Bandak." ”

"Yes."

Bandak responded instantly.

"It can't go on like this." Kant spoke.

Looking around at the skeleton warriors who were still boundless and occupied most of the entire sentry oasis, he said, "I'm going to launch a counter-raid to wipe out the skeletons that are currently in front of me. ”

"You mean... Take the initiative? Bandak frowned slightly.

"That's right." Kant nodded.

"It's dangerous."

Bandak said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency, this needs to be carefully considered. ”

"I understand." Kant said: "It is precisely because I have thought about it that this plan has been determined, and the elimination of these undead is one of the purposes, and more importantly, it is to make everyone continue to be vigilant." ”

"I see." Bandak nodded.

Kant waved his hand: "Go down and arrange, I need all the light infantry to fight." ”

"Yes!" Bandak saluted and turned away from the city walls.

Soon, with the sound of a large number of footsteps, inside the city gate under the city wall, 1,000 Svadia light infantry had already lined up, one by one holding swords and shields and ready to standby, and the eyes under the infantry's helmets regained their brilliance.

The upcoming hand-to-hand combat made the crossbowmen on the entire city wall slightly stunned.

Including the mage apprentices who had rested in the tower, they all came out.

This is the first time they have taken the initiative.

"Let's get started."

Kant waved his hand forward and commanded his command.

With a slight sour grinding sound of the door shaft and the wheel slowly lifting the iron gate up, the south gate suddenly opened, allowing the light infantry to enter the urn city.

The urn city is safe, and the capacity of 1,000 people is also just right, and it is a barrier to the inner city gate.

Crossbowmen were ready on all four walls.

When the gates of the Urn City are opened, a tidal wave of skeleton warriors will pour in.

And at that time, it was the most dangerous time, if it couldn't be resisted, the gate of the urn city would be lost, resulting in the entire urn city would also be lost, although Kant's troops could take the urn city back, but it was also equivalent to defeat.

"Lord Kant, isn't this a bit risky?"

Behind him, Manid, who arrived at the east gate, saluted and dissuaded: "We have not yet reached the limit of defense, and those skeletons are also helpless against us, and some of them are not wise to attack rashly." ”

"No, that's wise." Kant replied indifferently: "This is also an experience. ”

"Experience..."

Manid was slightly stunned.

Experience.

To put it simply, it is actually a tragic fight.

Of course, he understood what Kant meant, that is, to let these 1,000 Swadian light infantry go through real battlefield fighting, gain experience, and thus miraculously get promoted!

A qualitative promotion, a promotion from level 3 to level 4!

This is exactly what Kant ultimately aimed.

Sweeping away skeletons and rebuilding morale are secondary, and upgrading to a high-level class is his goal!

Whether it is a level 4 Svadia infantry or a level 4 Svadian heavy cavalry, they are all strong elite troops, as long as there are 500 people, Kant can guarantee that it is no problem to fight head-on and kill tens of thousands of skeleton warriors or skeleton soldiers.

Infantry and heavy cavalry clad in chain mail and leather armor are not the ones that can deal damage with rotten weapons in the hands of skeletons.

It is estimated that it can't even break the defense!

Judging from the current situation, those skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers don't have that strength!

Maybe none of these Svadian light infantry defenses can be broken!
