2. Take the city

Compared with Angel's over-optimism, Sean's view is much more conservative.

"I don't think we're going to be more secure." Sean said in a deep voice, the expression on his face was extremely gloomy, "It's not that you can't trust the Frost Legion. As a lord, although it is difficult to obtain information about the Frost Legion, I am very familiar with several brilliant battles. The reason why I feel that safety is not guaranteed is because once I have passed through this fortress, the wild land with the vast terrain of a horse and a flat river is the most suitable location for the undead to take advantage of. ”

Hearing Sean's words, Angel and Cecilia, Rena and the others all fell into deep thought.

Compared to others, whether it is Angel, Cecilia, or Rena, they all have very good battlefield command skills, and they are not just a fierce general who charges into battle. Therefore, naturally, they heard more information from Sean's words, and combined with the racial characteristics of the undead army, they clearly realized in an instant how terrible the vast terrain was to increase the combat power of the undead army.

The most powerful thing about the army of the undead is the almost infinite crowd tactics, and the undead characteristic that makes countless generals a headache or even impossible to deal with.

Therefore, the more you fight in the vast terrain, the more obvious the advantages of the undead army can be brought into play.

You must know that in addition to the evaluation of a general's tactics and strategy, a more important evaluation value lies in the scale of the battle they can command. For example, the reason why Hela was able to rank seventh among the ten generals in the game in her previous life was that once she was allowed to use her "power" to the extreme, she could even form a terrifying strategic advantage similar to commanding millions of troops in a battle.

As for William. A million-level war is the limit of his command.

Just like wanting to maximize Rena's excellent general ability. Just like a cavalry regiment that only gave her a thousand men, each general has a limit of command and commandery. And once that limit is exceeded. Their command ability will be greatly reduced, and it is even likely to have negative effects such as confusion in the command system.

This is one of the fundamental reasons why those powerful kingdoms will never be suspicious of their own generals.

Ten generals at the level of generals are all capable of commanding a million-level army on at least one battlefield.

But the army of the undead is different.

Unlike the battlefield flags and other means of communication of intelligent creatures, the army of the undead relies on the soul command of the central node. So let alone a million, even if it is a scale of tens of millions, it is just idle for the undead legion. Moreover, this 10 million level still refers to the fifth and sixth orders, which belong to the regular army sequence of the undead legion, like the cannon fodder sequence of skeletons and bones, which is not considered at all.

So you can imagine it. What a terrible thing it would be to fight an army of the undead in a vast area of terrain.

Unless they have the combat power to forcibly crush them, the undead army will directly swallow up any legion in this world with a steady stream of numbers. And after the war, they will also convert these fallen legionnaires into their own kind, snowballing in size.

"We're going to take this fortress?" Cecilia is worthy of being the person who understands Sean best, and she understands Sean's strategic intentions in an instant.

"If we stick to this as a base, it will be beneficial to us." Sean said in a deep voice.

His purpose is not just to solve the Gate of Bones and drive Lake away, his real purpose is to hide in the holy utopia of the Black Soil, and the only way to reach the Black Earth is this fortress. Before that. Sean's solution is to do everything in his power to strengthen the armament of the principality, and even drag all the barbarian tribes into the water, preparing to annex their forces and become the eighth empire of human forces in this world, and then forcibly capture the fortress of this thousand-year-old alliance empire in and out of the wilderness.

But for now. There's clearly a better way.

Angel glanced at Sean, and stopped talking, but in the end she didn't speak.

Because she knows it well. In this situation, she said nothing, even if it was only for the strategic purpose of preventing the army of the undead from wandering around. This fortress must also be in the hands of humans. Therefore, Angel was not worried that this fortress would fall into the hands of the undead before, because the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire would inevitably send a large army to recapture this fortress. After all, this is a key point for humanity to resist the army of the undead.

However, if Sean takes this fortress.

It is conceivable that it will not be easy for the Millennial Covenant Empire to take this fortress back. Especially after Angel saw that there were super strong people under Sean's command, she knew even more that the thousand-year-old Covenant Empire, which had just experienced civil strife and division, would never be able to take back this fortress through a contest of force - even if Angel didn't know Sean's Void Empire plan, but looking at the current close connection between the Savage Land and the Void Principality, she also knew that the Void Principality could no longer be regarded as an ordinary principality.

At Sean's behest, Alexis did not put away the ruin spear, but acted as a vanguard to enter the fortress first.

They were followed by Sean and the others, and Kokire was still in charge of the palace.

After entering the city, it is obvious that the scene in the city is even more tragic.

For the horror of the army of the undead, Sean only experienced it in the game, but the game is a game after all, and the cruelty of war cannot be fully reflected at all. And because of the limitations of data, some players who don't want to experience such a terrifying scene can also turn on the "and. Harmonic mode, but even if the bloody mode is turned on, what you see in the game is far from being comparable to what Sean sees in front of you.

Blood, staining almost all the buildings in Sean's field of vision.

However, in the entire city, apart from such a strong smell of blood and such a bright blood red, not even a single corpse was found.

Not even a corpse, not even the equipment of the garrison in the city was left behind. All that remains is the chaos and terror that once erupted in the city. There were also destroyed ruins and bits of furniture, as well as scorched black marks and black smoke from what seemed to be something exploded.

Like a helpless man crying silently.

Sean's gaze. I couldn't help but fall to Kokire, who was behind the opponent.

Korkire knew what Sean meant, so he looked sideways to the right front.

This fortress is said to be a military fortress. It is mainly used to prevent the tribes of the wild land from entering the hinterland of the thousand-year-old Covenant empire through this pass, so it is still mainly military operations as a whole. However, as the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance's commercial exploitation of the Savage Land became more and more prosperous, the six passes guarding the entrance and exit of the Savage Land soon became an important supply transit point, and gradually transformed from a pure military base into a semi-military and semi-commercial defensive fortress.

However, most of the buildings in the fortress are still made of military building materials, and the layout is mainly for military purposes, so it is very secure in terms of defensive performance.

At this point, Kokire's location was the tallest and largest building in the entire fortress.

If nothing else, this should be the command center of the entire fortress. After all. The fortress was originally a military fortress, and even though it was later improved by the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the main function of the fortress has not been abolished, but it has been expanded and renovated in the fortress, giving up some of the original military settlements to merchants and civilians, and building a free trade market.

The blood-stained land seen by Sean and the others should undoubtedly be a civilian residential area, and the more well-preserved area should be the military area.

"Let's go." Sean said succinctly.

The team quickly walked towards the place Cokire had been directed.

Soon, the crowd came to a huge camp area.

As expected. There are obvious traces of fierce fighting in this military area, but compared to the fortress like a dead city, this military area can still see many corpses. However, at this time, the corpses were not randomly discarded around, but were neatly stacked on the bonfire that had been built. There were a number of people busy: they were either examining the corpses and collecting nameplates and records for identification, or they were busy carrying the bodies of other soldiers who had died in battle and putting the armaments in order.

At this time, it was accompanied by the appearance of Sean and others. More soldiers began to pour out of the surrounding buildings, and quickly formed a defensive formation. And even the soldiers who were busy sorting out the nameplates and armaments quickly picked up the weapons around them. Joined the defensive formation. Several watchtowers around the area that had not yet been destroyed also quickly appeared, and some figures were quickly appearing, and they were aiming at Sean and the others with arrows in their hands.

The fact that they didn't attack at the first time was probably because the momentum exuded by Kokire and Alexis was extremely strong, making them clearly realize that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Of course, the most important thing is that Sean and the others did not obviously show any hostility, so these people did not attack for the time being.

"People...... Kind? "A man who seems to have some status based on his rank stands out from the crowd.

"Humans." Sean nodded.

"It's not a safe place, you guys ...... quickly" The officer immediately shouted after hearing Sean's admission, but soon, he realized that the strength of the other party was obviously not simple, because either of Kokire and Alexis brought extremely strong pressure to them, not to mention that there were two other people in this team, and they also faintly had Sean as the core.

"You ...... Is it reinforcements? The officer hesitated, then carefully chose his words.

Angel looked at Sean with a somewhat complicated expression.

"In terms of fending off the army of the undead, we are indeed reinforcements." Sean nodded, then spoke, "In the face of such a huge threat, this is a responsibility that cannot be shirked as a human being. ”

The officer's eyes flickered slightly, and he could already hear the hidden subtext in Sean's words. However, compared to the officer who could hear the subtext of Sean's words, the other ordinary soldiers couldn't understand it at all, they only knew that Sean and the others were here to support their reinforcements, so they let out bursts of cheers. Looking back at these soldiers who had been facing great fear of death just now, the officer showed a wry smile helplessly.

He glanced at Sean and the others again, frowned slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Can I invite you to the conference room to talk?" (To be continued......)
