Chapter 82: Before the Fierce Battle

With the help of Sonia, a loyal and reliable pet, Rhodes finally put his mind at ease and began to focus on the enemy in front of him. Objectively speaking, Sonia is actually a very capable person herself, and it can be seen from the fact that she can become the third executive of the Locktos Foundation and the second member of the Council of Light at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and she has excellent political talents. From this point of view, she and Marlene are very similar. However, unlike Marlene, Sonia does not have that kind of extraordinary magical ability, and her swordsmanship talent is also very average, and a real eldest lady with an aristocratic elite education is like this. If it weren't for Rhodes digging into her weird fetishes, it would have been a bit difficult to completely conquer this eldest lady.

But now, Rod is not worried, because Sonia is a very smart person. While intelligence is a good quality in many cases, it is sometimes completely derogatory. People like Canary and Sonia are perfect interpretations of the other side of the term, and being smart means that they think about a lot of different kinds of questions, and sometimes, these questions are not answered, and they only get dizzy and even completely lost in them. The canary is okay, after relaxing her mind, she has come out and can face everything calmly. Sonya, on the other hand, is clearly the best example of being caught up in it and eventually losing herself completely. But in addition to these, in other "normal" aspects, their wisdom can bring good results for themselves. Rod didn't plan to let Sonia stay by his side for a long time, he only had an idea before, but now, seeing Sonia being so loyal to him and obedient, Rod couldn't help but have a little thought in his heart. He had always hoped that someone would help him within the parliament, and Rhodes had no suitable candidate in his hands before. And now it's different, since Sonya is so loyal to him, then he has an extra nail in the council in his hand, which is still good in Sonya's current situation. She has power behind her and an ace. And as a secondary councillor, she should be able to officially join the Council of Light if there are no big problems. At that time, Sonia will be able to participate in the elections and then ............ It is even possible to become the President of the Council of Light.

If this can really be done, then his plan to destroy the Council of Light can be completed in a bloodless state.

It's difficult, but it's not impossible.

However, this is a matter for the future, and Rhodes only has a rough outline of this plan at present, so he will not waste any more time, after instructing Sonia to investigate why Lilian was unable to show up at Winter Castle in time. He put all his energy into how to deal with the upcoming undead legion.

Winter Castle sounds imposing, but this line of defense is no match for Rhodes's Fortress of the Land of Atonement, the entire line of defense is in tatters, the walls are only two stories high, and there are only five magic cannons around the entire Winter Castle, which looks like a poor pigsty. Even the city walls themselves were pitted and pitted due to disrepair, and the surface could not be leveled, so if such a dilapidated city wall were washed by the undead army. I'm afraid it won't be long before it collapses directly.

In fact, the defense line of Winter Castle is really not as bad as Rhodes thinks, and the Council of Light is stupid. But after all, they are not mentally retarded, and they really want to stop the undead army here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lowered his face and begged Rhodes for help, so the military department still spent a lot of effort to renovate the defense line of the entire Winter Castle, plus the ravines that originally existed here, it still looked like that. In fact, this is also a common situation in the border area, a front-line defensive position like Longteng Canyon. It's not much better than Winter Castle, and the only ones that can really defend themselves are the core cities of the Tour de France, the Golden City or Casablanca. It's not uncommon for a fortress like Rhodes to be armed to the teeth, but it's usually a fort that sticks to the road. It is unlikely to be put in a place like the border. Moreover, with the current level of civilization in the Dragon Soul Continent, there is no way to build too good walls and fortresses in those uninhabited border areas.

It's just that I'm used to living in the majestic fortress of the Land of Atonement, and looking at the two-story city walls in front of me, the potholed ground everywhere and the few magic cannons that can not be sounded, even Anne said that this place is too dilapidated.

Coupled with the 5,000 army led by Rhodes himself, the total number of soldiers sent by the entire Reflective Council is about 15,000, which is not much, but it is not a lot. In addition to Rhodes himself, the lord of the Moon territory close to Winter Castle that Lydia had mentioned before also sent two thousand people to arrive at the Winter Castle fortress in advance, and then most of the soldiers sent by the lords of the independent territories around the Land of Light in the rear were also between three thousand. The greatest hobby of the local lords is to raise private soldiers, especially those independent territories, although they are attached to certain countries, they are still independent and need to rely on themselves to protect their own security. Therefore, they have a lot of soldiers under their command, and sending a few thousand people to them does not have much impact on them.

Every time he saw this scene, Rod felt unbalanced in his heart, this world is really unfair......... He has worked so hard that the soldiers in the entire territory can not get two thousand, but these lords are all thousands of thousands, even if they die, they are not distressed, and then look at themselves, if they die a thousand people, the armament of the entire territory will be over, and they need to be re-recruited. It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating.

There are 20,000 men on the Council of Light's side, plus 15,000 on his side. According to the news from the front, the number of the undead legion should be between 50,000 and 60,000, because Shaliye was pinned down by Slynn and Boulder, and there were not many undead legions he could use on this front. In fact, the number of undead legions on this front was not that large, according to the report that Rhodes obtained from Sonya, when he first attacked this front, the undead legion was only 30,000. And now............ You don't have to guess which idiot gave them so kindly for the remaining 30,000 people.

This is the normal rhythm of the undead army's attack without the death barrier, their numbers will continue to expand like a snowball, if Winter Castle falls, then Rhodes can be sure that the 30,000 people here will raise their swords against their compatriots in the near future. The only fortunate thing is that the undead who have just been awakened by the necromancer themselves have very low intelligence. Instinctively obeys orders. Instead of having a certain amount of self-knowledge and intelligence like the undead who have lived for a long time like that, this is the only advantage they can have over the other party.

In fact, the battle line of the Principality of Moon also has these problems, but fortunately, the strength of the Principality of Moon is not weak, and it can fight with the undead legions, and every time they retreat, they will do their best to take the corpses of their companions. Prevent them from becoming their enemies, or simply set them on the spot, stopping the undead from advancing and completely melting the corpses of their companions in the flames. But it was over on the side of the Land of Light, and as soon as they broke down, they immediately turned and fled, not thinking at all to pick up the corpses. At the end of the day, their companions died, and they were finished. Then, under the influence of necromancy, they stood up again and fought side by side.

I really don't know if Lu Dao is lucky or unlucky.

The sun was setting.

Rhodes stood on the dilapidated tower, his hands behind his back, and stared blankly at the distant horizon in front of him. Around him, there are fire elemental soldiers, which are also the most powerful fire elemental creatures that Rhodes has summoned from the Burning Plains and can command at the moment.

[Flame Guards——— their fighting enthusiasm is enough to melt steel]

As the most common fire elemental creature on the Burning Plains, the Flowing Fire Guardian's attack and defense are very balanced, and the common characteristics of fire elemental creatures are high attack and low defense, and Rod's "Kamikaze Self-Detonating Dog" is a typical example, even if its attack is as high as 12 points. Its defense is less than 5 points, and it is as fragile as a piece of paper. But it's also because fire elemental creatures aren't afraid of death at all. As elemental creatures, they are immortal, and even if they disappear, it is only because they have lost their condensed form and returned to their elemental plane. Because of this, fire elemental creatures are almost always fatal in combat, and coupled with their self-detonation characteristics, their enemies are terrified when facing this moving bomb, and they are not fighting or not fighting............

But the Drifting Fire Guardian is an outlier among them. It has a whopping 8 defense, but only 7 attacks, which makes it seem weak. However, the Flame Guardians possess the same magical abilities as the Fire Elemental Mage's [Fire Cloak] and [Fireball], in which the [Fire Cloak] can form a flaming flame barrier on the body of the Fire Guardian, and anything that comes close to them will be damaged by the flames. And the [Fireball Technique] is needless to say. It's one of the most powerful elemental spells an outer ring elemental mage can wield, it's as powerful as a grenade, and it also has a burning effect, making it a great deal against the undead. Coupled with the innate strength of these fire elemental creatures, it is no more suitable to defend the city wall, which means that Rhodes has 4,500 spellcasters with the strength of the outer ring elemental mages and subordinates with the strength of mid-level warriors, while the remaining 500 are sea elves led by Agapy.

After the battle of the fortress of the Land of Atonement, Rhodes realized that as his own summoned creatures, these sea elves can also be upgraded! Previously, he had raised Agapy and other sea elves to the level equivalent of a level 30 mage through the forbidden aura, but he didn't expect that soon after the end of the war, the strength of these sea elves themselves would also increase to the corresponding level. This is also the reason why Rhodes brought Agapy and the others here for nothing, because these undead legions are so few in number, and for Rhodes he no longer expects to rely on these low-level garbage legions to learn experience. But these experiences were important to Agameve and Biran's Heart. Especially the latter, Rhodes is now counting on when the senior sister can also break through the legendary level, so that he will have more and enough capital to "show off his might".

As for the sea elves......... Rhodes didn't plan to let Agameve and the others die like Drift Fire Guards, on the contrary, their role in the fortress will become more and more important in the future, since they can be upgraded, then simply bring out some experience, and at the same time can help defend and weaken the attack of the undead.

At this moment, beside Rod, the Flowing Fire Guardians could be seen standing upright and standing in a row, holding the flame spear in their hands, and their two bright red eyes shone with a faint red light. Just lined up on the city wall. Don't move. In the distance, those human soldiers subconsciously kept a distance from these Flowing Fire Guards, although they knew that they were not evil devils, but these fire elemental creatures looked too ......... after all It's dangerous.

However, the sea elves behind them were clearly more popular, and Rhodes had seen soldiers approaching those cute and beautiful elves more than once. It's no wonder, although at first glance the sea elves look weird. But they're still more human-like, and they're very beautiful. In addition, most of the sea elves are gentle and gentle, and except for Agavy, the leader, who seems to be in absolute zero at all times, the other sea elves are quite easy to get along with. Because of this, they have also attracted the attention of many human soldiers, but they can't do anything about it.

But now, they didn't have time to tease these beautiful and cute sea elves, and the whole line of defense was filled with a serious and tense atmosphere. All the soldiers clenched their weapons and stood on the ramparts, gazing apprehensively at the horizon in the distance. Because just now, they had already received the order passed down from above——— not far from Winter Castle, they found the traces of that group of undead creatures.

They're finally going to attack.

At this moment, the entire Winter Castle was filled with a tense atmosphere, and it was no wonder that the soldiers in other places had basically never seen the undead except for Rhodes. Almost half of the combined forces of the Council of Light had never dealt with the undead. At this moment, when they heard that the undead were about to attack, both the commander and their soldiers were a little drumming in their hearts. They stared at the empty horizon in the distance, weapons in their hands, completely oblivious to the howling cold wind blowing past them.

In contrast, it was Rhodes who looked more relaxed, and everyone just had to turn their heads away. You can see the tall, thin black figure standing straight on top of the dilapidated tower, he is looking ahead with his hands behind his back. Behind him, Anne looked around excitedly to see how she was gearing up. It seems that he can't wait to rush to start the battle immediately. On the other side, the girl with fox ears and tail was sitting leisurely by the wall, and she was still carrying a copper wine jug in her hand?!

What's even more incredible is the black-haired girl in a pitch-black, weird robe, only to see that at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, the young lady actually leaned against the wall like this, and then yawned lightly, and then she closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side.................. She actually fell asleep like this?

Holy Soul above, who are these people...............

Faced with the upcoming undead legion, didn't they feel nervous at all? Aren't they scared at all?

It is worthy of the people who once annihilated the undead army...............

Rhodes didn't know what the generals were thinking deep down at the moment, he just stared ahead, quietly waiting for the arrival of the undead legion. As for how to deal with these undead creatures, Rhodes is not worried, just take out the same set he used to deal with Simon at the beginning, use the attack of the Flowing Fire Guardian to suppress and match the defense of the Shanghai Elves, and then use the Holy Spear to sweep, and he still has so many soldiers under his command now, this situation is much better than at the beginning. He didn't fear defeat, and similarly, Rhodes didn't think the Northern Front would be able to successfully withstand the undead army's attack.

No, not think, yes.

The so-called things are man-made.........

Thinking of this, Rhodes turned his head and looked to the other side of Winter Castle, only to see that there, the black-pressed soldiers covered the entire city wall, and it seemed that there was no problem.

But Rhodes knew that something was going to go wrong with them.

Because he won't let these guys get through this crisis so safely. Rhodes also knew very well that the other party must have the same idea, and if he could, the Council of Light might even pray that he would be able to die with the undead in this battle, so that they could mourn Rhodes' sacrifice while crying in their hearts and raising their hands and cheering with their heads in the sky. However, why didn't Rhodes fight the same idea?

"It's coming!"

At this moment, suddenly, the soldiers below began to stir, and Rhodes withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look ahead, and sure enough, in the afterglow of the sun, he saw a dark shadow appear in the distance on the horizon. The immortal soldiers walked silently, with neat steps, slowly but unswervingly, towards the front, the last glimmer of the sun vanished into the depths of the horizon, and the darkness of the night was about to cover the entire land.

The Undead Legion has finally arrived.
