Chapter 695: The War Against Fate (V)

Although the undead retreated, Rhodes did not let his guard down, he simply encouraged his subordinates, and then ordered them to quickly prepare for the next attack. To tell the truth, these soldiers are too immature. It should be known that just a few days ago, less than a tenth of the 3,000 soldiers were his own original subordinates, and because he had not found a suitable candidate, Rhodes did not recruit soldiers. It wasn't until Bilan's Heart was summoned that he began to slowly increase his troops, and that was not much. Rhodes is a very cautious person by nature, especially after managing the player's guild, he is very aware of the danger of blind expansion, although with the current population of the fortress, it is not a problem for him to get an army of 10,000 people, but this is a big problem, there are not enough squad leaders, squadron leaders, commanders, not enough food and equipment. And without training and cooperation, there is no tacit understanding at all, what is the use of such an army except for the appearance of a large number of people? Won't it be a mess when the war starts? Rhodes didn't plan to leave the fortress, so he set his position on defending the city, and because of this, even with the threat of the undead legion, he only recruited three thousand soldiers, because this was the most suitable at the moment, maybe not the most, but it was enough.

But that's just the beginning.

It has been too long since there has been a war between the Continent of Light and the Continent of Darkness, and now in the entire Continent of Light, the only ones who have experience in fighting the undead are the places where the Eastern Mountains have been fighting for many years, and the occasional Paladins and War Angel Legions who are responsible for destroying the undead and the Devil Cultists. For the average human legion, they simply have no experience in fighting the undead. Even though there are many veterans in Rhodes' guild who have retired from the legion, they are basically the same as the new recruits when it comes to dealing with the undead. Look at how they behave on the walls, even if the undead are beaten so badly. As soon as the other party charged, they were immediately frightened. Fortunately, he didn't plan to let these soldiers as a combat force against the undead army at the beginning, otherwise it would have been based on their performance, if it weren't for Qilian and Marlene, I'm afraid the fortress would have been a sea of fire now.

Now, the effect is still good. The Undead Legion temporarily retreated, and the soldiers regained their confidence. However, Rod Zhilu said that he was very expensive this time——— Seven Love had already used the "Seven Hells" once, and the card CD cooldown time would take at least one day, which means that after that, Seven Love could only use the "River of Sulfur" again, and the rest was an overwhelming small fireball, but without the bonus of exclusive spells, the power of the small fireball was naturally conceivable. And in order to fight the skeleton griffin, Rhodes also activated the alchemy statue. The soul cores of these alchemy statues are the core of the human soul manufacturing that Rhodes collected during the Southern Campaign, and they are basically scrap wood and defective products, which can support three or five hours is the limit. And Rhodes can be sure that after the other party knows that he has this air force, he will definitely not use the skeleton griffin to send him to death, and the next time he will face the gargoyle army. Originally, Rhodes really didn't plan to wake up the alchemy statue so early. But look at the soldiers under his command, if he didn't use the alchemy statue to support him, I'm afraid that those skeleton griffins would be paralyzed by fright. At that time, whatever plan I have will be telling a joke.

As for Marlene, although her current strength is already considered a mage of the elite class in Central. However, there is still no good fruit to eat against the necromancer group, and if it weren't for the canary who has been quietly suppressing the necromancer's spell countermeasures just now, I'm afraid Marlene would have become a useless waster long ago. And even if this trend continues, with the spells she currently masters, it is impossible to bring any devastating damage to the undead legion. Not to mention that Marlene is not a perpetual motion machine, sooner or later there will be a time when the soul power will be exhausted. And Thor's strength is still too limited to deal with the massive undead army. So far, Rhodes has given Thor and them the task of sweeping up the remnants of the soldiers who have come under the walls through attacks and bombardments, and they have done a good job of this.

As for the canary and little bubblegum, Rhodes has made up his mind that he will never release them until he has determined the direction of Barende's main attack. lest there be any accidents, so the role of the two of them is very limited.

The only lucky thing is the statue of the holy maiden.,As an artifact.,As long as you start it, you can maintain it until Rhodes closes.,Anyway, the statue of the holy girl is also an artifact.,Naturally, it's much stronger than the general magic equipment prop building.,Otherwise, the name of this artifact is blind.。

Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, he doesn't need to think about morale at all in the game, in the eyes of players, as long as the red name is experience, seeing so many undead creatures replaced by players have long been excited for some reason. There was no need to motivate and maintain any morale here, and the only thing Rhodes had to think about at that time was to restrain his players so that they would not get too excited. And when he got here, he not only had to think about not letting his men escape, but also tried to boost their morale and make them believe in victory, and Rod felt that he was really tragic.........

But fortunately, now that I have spent so much work, my morale has finally been boosted. Rhodes could feel the change in the soldiers on the city walls, if at first they were nervous, even a little trembling, now they were a little excited and excited, and not as timid and uneasy as before. Although such morale is still fragile, Rhodes knows that it is only necessary to strengthen their confidence with one victory after another, and this is only the beginning.

It's just that I don't know what kind of changes the other party will make next?

Rod frowned and looked ahead.

"Boom!"

A withered and emaciated palm slapped the heavy stone table in front of him, and for a moment the cold spiritual fire scattered and splashed in all directions, and then disappeared into a little light dust in the air.

Vidal stared at the battle map in front of him, gritted his teeth, and there was a dead silence in the huge battle command room, only the howling night wind blew from outside the tent, making a "hulala" sound, and the sound of flags fluttering could be faintly heard in the distance. It was supposed to be a winning ensemble, but at the moment, it sounded so heart-wrenching to Vidal.

As the commander-in-chief of the Third Theater in the Northern Theater of the Night Dragon Nation, Vidal was determined to win this battle, and he knew how heavy the burden he was on. The special geographical location of the Duchy of Moon determines that they will definitely not be a hard bone to gnaw on. But the burden of attacking Moon fell on him, and before he set out, Barend. General Nefarian entrusted everything to him, and at that time, Vidal was also full of confidence, and he even promised Lord Barend that it would only take three days to surround the entire Golden City!

But now, reality has given him a cruel and cold slap!!

“……………… What a damn ................"

Vidal stared at the battle map in front of him and let out a low cry between his teeth. Before setting out for Moon, Vidal had expected that the resistance of the Principality of Moon would be fierce, in fact, he had never looked down on the idiots of the Land of Light, although they had the protection of the Dragon Soul of Light, but Vidal knew very well that those guys were just a rabble, not to be afraid of, they were just screaming fiercely. But the actual combat effectiveness is simply scum. On the contrary, the Duchy of Moon is a tough nut to crack, even though it seems to be muffled on weekdays. And it's not like the Land of Light has any hostile feelings towards the Night Dragon Country, and even from the perspective of the Night Dragon Country, the Principality of Moon can't be regarded as a country at all, at most it's just the kind of dominions that the Four Demon Generals have. However, in the Night Dragon Nation, no one dared to underestimate Moon's combat power. Even the four demon generals. When mentioning Lydia, the archangel, there is a bit of jealousy and appreciation in his words.

Vidal knew that Moon was difficult to deal with, but he took on the burden anyway, because he knew very well that the more difficult it was. The more precious the success is. If he can lead the undead legion to capture most of Moon, it will be two completely different concepts from leading the undead legion to capture most of the land of light——— although geographically, the country of light is much larger than Moon.

However, the difficulty of attacking Moon was still beyond Vidal's expectations.

As a well-appreciated commander under Barend, Barend's plan for this raid was repeatedly deliberated and considered, in his opinion, although the strength of the Duchy of Moon was very strong, but they had calculated or not, it was absolutely impossible for the Duchy of Moon to organize a defense in the first place. Of course, with Moon's vitality, they will definitely react as quickly as possible when they perceive an attack, so this requires their first wave of attacks to be fast enough, strong enough, and violent enough to get the maximum effect. In this way, even if the other party pays a return visit, he has enough space and room to deal with them. If Moon is compared to a piece of bread, then Vidal's approach is actually to take a big bite on this piece of bread first, whether he can swallow it or not, at least the piece of cake is already in his mouth, and that is enough.

But soon, Vidal realized that something was wrong, and there were problems on almost all the fronts he was responsible for.

According to the report, the undead legion suffered resolute resistance and blows from the Dongfang Shanyuan, and even when the undead army entered the Dongfang Shanyuan, they were also ambushed by the Dongfang Shanyuan, and suffered heavy losses.

This is still in Vidal's mental preparation, if the Duchy of Moon is a hard bone, then the Eastern Mountain Plains is the sharpest thorn in this bone. Unlike other territories, there are countless private wars between the Eastern Mountain Plains and the Night Dragon Country, which are staged almost every day, and both sides know each other well, so it is normal for them to encounter counterattacks when attacking the Eastern Mountain Plains. Vidal was even prepared not to take the Eastern Mountains, because it was indeed not something that could be taken in a moment, as long as it could contain their forces and leave them with no time to take care of anything else.

However, the news that came next was out of Vidal's expectations.

The battlefield carved out on the border of the Dragonlands of the Night and the Duchy of Moon is divided into five parts: the Eastern Hills, Segram, Dragon's Canyon, the Silent Lands, and the Parfield-Glenbel Realm. Among them, except for the Eastern Mountains, which can be abandoned, the remaining four fronts are determined to be won by Vidal. He even thought that if the battle went well, the forces of the other four fronts could be surrounded from behind. Then completely isolate the Eastern Mountain Plains, and then take down this place that is a headache for the Night Dragon Country in one fell swoop. But now, things are far from what he expected.

Needless to say, the news from Segram and Longteng Canyon was not very good, although in the report, these undead legions had broken through the opponent's first line of defense. But it was soon stopped, and the battle was at a stalemate, and now, according to reports received by Vidal, the undead army was still advancing, but slowly. However, the garrisons of Segram and Dragon Canyon were assembled very quickly, and even according to reports, the figure of the War Angel Legion appeared——— which was one of the most troublesome enemies of the Undead Legion.

If the undead are a numerical advantage, then the War Angel is a qualitative advantage. Moreover, due to the restraint attribute of the divine power, the damage of the war angel to the undead is extremely high, and an ordinary war angel, even if she swings her long sword casually, can easily kill hundreds of skeleton soldiers. And a group of war angels is even more difficult to deal with, coupled with their powerful holy power and spiritual skills, if they don't have enough strength. You can't fight them. Not to mention——— even more so in this kind of siege warfare.

The news from the Silent Lands was barely "encouraging", though the undead army attacking the Silent Lands was also met with resistance. However, they have broken through the opposition defense and are now moving inside. However, according to the report of the other side, before they broke through the defensive line, the other side had evacuated all the residents around them, and most of the troops also retreated as quickly as possible, so it was obvious that they were building a third line of defense——— as for whether they could rush through. No one knows what to do.

It's weird.

Vidal frowned, he was not a fool, there was a vague smell of weirdness in these reports, logically speaking, they were a surprise attack this time. As for a surprise attack, even if the other party is prepared, it should be very hasty. But how could it be possible that Vidal had gotten news from here and there, as if the other party had already known that they were going to raid? Even the commanders themselves did not know exactly when the war would start before the war began. Even one day, they were suddenly summoned into the palace and gave the order in front of them. This speed is not unfast, and even the commanders themselves are a little caught off guard. Such an attack, in the case of mental calculation or unintentional, it is impossible for the other party to make too many choices and reactions to the ——— and in fact, the battle that took place in the country of light also proves this, and now the news from that side is coming from there, the country of light does not even owe a decent resistance, and is almost beaten all the way by the undead army, and now they have passed through the Momiji River beach, which is regarded as a choke point, which is faster than expected, Vidal can be sure, continue to go at this speed, Then the battle on the side of the Land of Light will definitely end sooner than expected.

But why is Moon so hard to gnaw here? The country of light has been going on for nearly half of the time, but he can't open the situation here, are the Moon people really so tenacious? Can they really be so calm in the face of the surprise attack of the undead army? It's too ...... Reasonable, right?

Now Vidal can only wait for news from Parfield-Glenbel, and so far there has been no news from Seborn, does that mean he's going well? If that's the case, then it looks like you'll have to think about whether you need to gather forces to focus on this front.

"Report to your Excellency!"

At this moment, a necromancer walked over quickly, holding a crystal ball in his hand, radiating a faint blue soul radiance. He glanced at Vidal, then saluted him respectfully.

"There's news from Cybern."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Vidal's eyes lit up slightly, and then he took the crystal ball and placed it on the table in front of him, and soon, Cyberborn's face appeared from the crystal ball.

"Cyberborn? What is the current situation? Have you broken through the Parfield-Glenbel defence? ”

“……………………”

Hearing Vidal's inquiry, Cybern did not answer immediately, on the contrary, he hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I'm so sorry............ Lord Vidal, we ..................."

Saying this, Cybern gritted his teeth, the brave death knight obviously didn't want to use such words to describe his defeat, but now, he had to do it.

"We ............ was repulsed. ”

"What ?!!"

Hearing this, Vidal's face changed drastically, and he stared at the crystal ball in front of him, the flame burning in his pupils seemed to melt the crystal ball completely. It wasn't until a moment later that Vidal sighed calmly and stared at the death knight in front of him.

"Tell me the details right away!!"

Then, he shouted angrily without question. (To be continued......)
