Chapter Eighty-Four: More than One Enemy (Part II)
It's bad.
The coalition forces on the northern defense line had no idea that the undead on foot would be able to charge as well as cavalry, and this sudden attack caught them off guard. When they saw the roaring undead legion, they hurriedly raised their weapons and planned to fight back, but it was too late. Unlike the southern line, the undead legions attacking the northern line were completely unhindered, and they rushed almost all the way to the bottom of the city walls, and immediately afterward, these unfortunate soldiers immediately experienced the terrifying charging ability of the undead legions.
The undead who bore the brunt of it hit the city wall so hard that they were crushed to the ground by their companions who were roaring and surging behind them before they could even struggle, and then the entire undead army was like a wave washing the beach, and the roaring impact and even the shaking city wall couldn't help but tremble, and many soldiers were even more frightened in the face of this terrible sea of death, and their legs and feet were weak, and they collapsed to the ground.
"Don't relax, drive them off the walls, don't let them come up!!"
Andre swung out a sword, and the cold wind flew through the air like this, only to see a large number of undead creatures in front of him suddenly froze, and then he clenched the long sword and slashed it hard, with the impact of the roar, those undead creatures were completely shattered like puppets made of ice, but before Andre could take a breath, soon, the undead creatures in the rear swept in again, hitting the city wall hard.
"Boom!!"
With the sound of impact, Andre could even feel the city wall under his feet jump slightly, although he expected that the charge of the undead would be very strong, but he still didn't expect them to be so powerful, this city wall was already very strong, but now. Andre felt as if it could collapse under his feet at any moment. And the section he is in is not bad strictly speaking, after all, the soldiers here are still prepared under Andrei's reminder. Elsewhere it was even more chaotic, with the undead in some places even climbing the walls and starting to scuffle with the soldiers on the walls! If it goes on like this, it's too dangerous!!
"Keep on the defensive, don't let up!!"
He shouted loudly. Then I saw that the magic guide cannon fixed on the tower suddenly exploded, and a dazzling and bright magic beam bombarded the undead army under the city wall like this, and soon saw that with the roar of the magic guide cannon, many undead creatures flew into the sky under the bombardment of the explosive air current. However, these attacks did not have any effect on the endless army of undead, and there were only five magic cannons on the defense line of Winter Castle, which was not the most important defense line in the first place, so the defense was not as tight as that of the military powerhouse. Originally, these five magic cannons were equipped on the tower of Winter Castle, which was located in the center of the northern and southern defense lines, and was responsible for supporting the attack of the defense line on both sides. Now these five magic cannons are all striking at the undead outside the northern defense line, but it is obvious. Their attack was nothing more than throwing a small stone into a pond, which could make a few splashes, but soon fell silent again. Andre gritted his teeth, looking at the endless army of immortals in front of him, his heart sank slightly——— if it continues like this, defeat is only a matter of time!!
But that's it.
Rod stood on the tower with his hands behind his back, looking at the torn and crumbling in front of him. And then the undead waves that fused again. With the assistance of 5,000 Drift Fire Guards, the soldiers on their side gradually cheered up. They cooperated to fight the gaps that the Drift Fire Guardians couldn't take care of, and slowed down the undead as much as possible. The sea elves were responsible for slowing down and stopping the undead from attacking with water elemental spells, and a string of ice edges rose from the ground, piercing the corpses of dozens of undead creatures and rushing into the sky, and then they saw the flaming spears and flaming arrows roaring down, leaving a vivid red scar on the dark body of the undead army.
It's all too easy to deal with these undead. 60,000, no, in fact, it should be 30,000 undead troops and 30,000 corpses that will move (which is very important), plus the undead army is a full-scale attack, so Rhodes's side is only allocated about 15,000 to 20,000 enemies at most. And they are all cannon fodder units of the vanguard. If it was the regular army in the back, Rhodes would have more or less snacks. As for the cannon fodder in front, he can even take five thousand Drift Fire Guards plus Anne and Seven Love to serve these things directly, but even so, he can get 20,000 experience points, which is the limit——— which is not enough for one-fiftieth of the current Rhodes to be promoted to one level.
"Great, sir."
Just as Rhodes was enjoying the battle behind his back, the voice of a herald came from behind him. Hearing someone call, Rhodes turned his head to the side and looked at the other party. I saw that the herald's face was a little pale and nervous. Seeing Rod looking at him, he first subconsciously took a deep breath before speaking.
"Report to my lord, Lord Huey asked me to tell you that the northern defense line is currently in critical form, and it is very likely to be defeated by the undead, should we ...............?"
"There's no need for that, I'm free to measure."
Rod interrupted the herald with a wave of his hand.
"Pass the order, let them pay attention to their own side of the problem first, the undead are menacing, and we don't have enough capital to help other places at the moment. I'll give the order when the time is right. ”
Of course, he knows who is worried about what, although on the surface the Council of Light and the Council of Reflection are incompatible, but after all, they are grasshoppers tied to a rope, everyone is responsible for defending and surrounding Winter Castle, the last line of defense, the north and south defense lines cannot be lost, if the northern defense line is really defeated by the undead legion so quickly, then the undead legion that broke through the defense line can in turn wrap itself into dumplings. At that time, everyone will really die together, and there will be nowhere to escape.
But Rhodes didn't think so, after all, there were a lot of soldiers on the northern defense line, and they couldn't collapse for a while. On the contrary, he was worried that if he sent someone to assist them at this time, maybe the group of bastards who were eager to escape would immediately flee without a trace as soon as they saw the shadow of the reinforcements, and instead let the reinforcements go to resist the attack of the undead head-on. Clean up the mess they left behind............ After all these years in the game, Rhodes has never made any guarantees about the lower limit of the army in the Land of Light. It is precisely because of this that he does not care at all about the life or death of the northern defense line. The group of guys in the Land of Light still obediently fill in their own corpses, as much as they can fill, and as long as they can resist. At that time, it doesn't matter if the northern defense line is really broken, and the statue of the holy maiden of Rhodes is not a dry meal.
But now is not the time. For Rod, this ruined northern defence is now a must.
Thinking of this, Rhodes reached out and gently turned the white ring on his right index finger. These cannon fodder in front are not Rhodes' main target at all, his mind is on the 30,000 regular army in the back, which is the main one, and now these are just cannon fodder......... This is also the reason why Rhodes has not activated the statue of the Holy Maiden for what he wanted. He was still waiting, waiting until the other party lost his vigilance. When you're completely caught up in it............ I have to say that the trick of luring the enemy in-depth, Rod is indeed playing with it. He's good at attacking and even better at defending. In the Land of Atonement, he repelled two waves of undead legions in a row, all relying on Rhodes' own experience, in the case of unequal strength, if you want to defeat the opponent, you can only attack it unprepared, and the asymmetry in strength can be smoothed out by the inequality in other aspects. And intelligence is one of them, at some point. A battle begins before the battle begins.
It's really vulnerable.
Just as Rhodes was leisurely admiring the battle situation in front of him, in the rear of the undead legion. The necromancer in charge of directing the undead legion's attack also let out a hoarse laugh mixed with mockery. In its opinion, the human defense line in front of it is as fragile as before...... Well, it doesn't seem to be able to say the same either, at least the opponent's southern defense line looks pretty good. At least it blocked the charge of his own undead legion. And slowed them down. I've heard that the humans even recruited coalition forces to defend this hellish place, but it doesn't seem like it's useless now. But that's about it.
This necromancer is not stupid, and he can see the human front in front of him. There was a bit of a disconnect between the north and the south, with the southern defense barely able to withstand the attack of its own undead legion, while the northern defense was almost on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the fact that his side had drawn troops to attack both sides at the same time, I am afraid that the northern defense line would have been completely finished. So, what to do now?
Thinking of this, the necromancer was silent for a moment, and its pitch-black eye hole burning with soul flames looked in the direction of the southern defense line. It just so happened that another round of flames could be seen, followed by the roar of explosions and a series of fires, and the front line of the undead collapsed again, although it was quickly filled again, but ............... It's not okay to continue like this, when the necromancer chose to attack, he didn't expect these humans to be so successful this time, at least in the face of their southern direction, there is nothing he can do for the time being. The northern defense line is a very normal rhythm, which is how humans should behave before the undead legion.
However, because the pressure exerted by himself was not strong enough, the northern defense line never collapsed. There were not many options before the necromancer right now, or it would take some from the army attacking the southern line to reinforce the north, putting great pressure on them to force the front to collapse in the shortest possible time. In this way, his undead army will be able to drive straight in, and then flank the army that swallows the southern defense line in front and back, and completely conquer Winter Castle. But this is not without danger, because the transfer of soldiers will reduce the pressure on the southern defense line, and they are likely to send people to the northern defense line for reinforcements——— in fact, the necromancer himself is also very curious, as a spellcaster, of course, it can feel the powerful elemental power of those fireballs rushing into the sky, which shows that the opponent has many casters who have a very accurate grasp of the fire element. But what are they concentrated on the southern defense line? It stands to reason that such a strong man should evenly distribute every point of support to the defensive line, and if this is the case, then won't his battle be even more difficult to fight? And now, they are concentrated in one of the lines of defense?
What does that mean?
No matter what the other person means, all in all, it is at least an opportunity for yourself.
Thinking of this, the necromancer withdrew his gaze and glanced to his side.
The pressure on the southern line cannot be reduced, but the offensive on the northern line cannot be halted either. It seems that this is the safest way.
With the thought in his mind, the necromancer reached out and waved forward.
Soon, the dark waves rushed forward again.
Here it comes!!
Rhodes, who was standing on the tower, narrowed his pupils, and he stared at the rear of the undead army. There, a real darkness rolled and roared, as if a huge wave was rolling forward from the surface of the sea, and in front of it, the waves in front of it were just small waves.
On the surface, there seems to be no difference between the undead soldiers in the rear and the cannon fodder in front, but anyone who is familiar with the undead legion can detect the difference between the two——— those cannon fodder in front have no will of their own at all, they are more like tools, they do what others tell them to do. Purely instinctive action. However, these undead creatures emerging from behind are obviously very different, their steps are firm, their every move is full of a clear purpose——— destroying all living beings in front of them, completely destroying everything they see, and dyeing everything in the world in pitch black.
At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and under the light of the fire, everyone could only see the undead creatures in front of them, against the background of darkness. It's as if they really came out of the night, densely packed. Boundless rush from back to front, even if the busy soldiers look up into the distance, they can only see the dense undead and the engulfing darkness in the distance. This will even make them tremble——— can they really stop the attack of these terrible monsters?
The time has come.
Seeing that the other party finally sent 30,000 regular troops to the battlefield, Rhodes suddenly narrowed his eyes, as a legendary powerhouse, he could clearly see everything shrouded in darkness in front of him without any light. Rhodes is sure. In less than a few moments, when these true undead creatures charge forward, then the northern defense line will collapse like a tofu scum.
If you don't intervene yourself.
But now............ It's time.
Thinking of this, the corners of Rod's mouth curled slightly, and then. He gently turned the jade-white ring on the finger of his right hand.
【Startup: Statue of the Holy Maiden】
At that moment, a silvery white, dazzling light rose into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
"That's ........................!!"
The necromancer stared dumbfounded at the silver pillar of light rising into the sky in the distance, and the tide of light that was spreading out in all directions across the sky. Of course, it knew what it was, and it was because of these damn Holy Light Barriers and Death-Resistant Enchantments that the undead army on the front of the Principality of Moon had not made much progress. But it didn't expect to run into this damn thing here!! Damn it, isn't that something from Moon? How could it be on the defenses of the Land of Light?
At this moment, the necromancer had no time to curse, the soul fire in its eyes jumped more and more intensely, the necromancer had already understood that he was very likely to fall for the other party, the other party obviously waited for himself to send 30,000 regular troops to the battlefield before reacting, it was obvious that there were people among them who knew a lot about the undead legion!!
However, what puzzled the necromancer was that he hadn't seen anyone in this group of humans know so much about them before.
Now is not the time to think about this problem, in the face of the brilliance of the statue of the Holy Maiden, the necromancer was also a little undecided for a while, and it was very likely that the opponent would follow the path of the other party if he continued to attack according to the plan, but now it was too late to withdraw the army. Although the undead army is very disciplined, it will also take time to forcibly withdraw the undead army that has already begun to charge, in case the other party takes the opportunity to grab the tail and pursue them............ Then these undead creatures under his command will also suffer heavy losses. Obviously, the other party has obviously expected this for a long time! Thinking of this, the necromancer gritted his teeth, and then made up his mind.
Go on the offensive!
Concentrate your forces to break through the northern defense line of the human race, and then take Winter Castle in one go!
Soon, the formation of the undead army changed. The pressure on the southern line began to lighten, and more undead pressed against the northern line like flowing water, and it seemed that the necromancer still made a very decisive and resolute judgment, it gave up the continued pressure on the southern line, and instead made a desperate bet, putting everything on the defeat of the northern line!
Here's your chance!
Seeing this scene in front of him, a bright light flashed in Rod's eyes, and then, he reached out and put it on his waist, and pulled out the white and dazzling holy sword on his waist.
"Senior sister, I'll leave it to you here, Annie, Seven Loves, let's go!"
With that, Rhodes jumped and leaped down from the tower, rushing towards the undead in front of him! (To be continued......)
