Chapter 1439: Not optimistic

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Pope Peter began to command 100,000 ghost cavalry to launch a tentative attack, because Pope Peter did not want to watch the fortifications that blocked the advance of the ghost army being built more and more solid. It's a pity that there is no black fog to cooperate this time, and after the battle with the ghost army, Drifting has accumulated a lot of experience, so those cavalry have not yet approached the city wall, and they were bombarded into slag by long-range magic or magic arrows, and then blown into the distance by wind magic.

After only a few focused attacks, Pope Peter understood that this method would not work at all. The most important thing is that Pope Peter himself did not dare to make a move at all, because he had been staring at him without a trace, and there was always a strange brilliance on his body that made all the ghosts deeply jealous and fearful. Pope Peter suspects that once he is suddenly broken into his special space, under the ravages of strange brilliance, the longevity that he has managed to borrow from the ghost king's black qi will all come to naught. Not only will he age instantly, but he may even age even more than before.

Pope Peter was also shrewd, and seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, he decisively reduced the 100,000 ghostly cavalry to pieces, and then scattered them to carry out continuous harassing attacks. Because, these ghostized cavalry are not "dead" at all, and after being shattered into black gas, they can quickly recondense and form. In this way, it will have the effect of exhausting the army and successfully delay the progress of the opponent's fortifications.

Unfortunately, arrangements had already been made for the Drifting Void, and personnel were selected to patrol and fight, so that this non-threatening attack by Pope Peter would hardly have the slightest effect on the purpose of exhausting the troops and slowing down the construction of the fortifications. Because the army of nearly one million was properly arranged, under the division of labor and cooperation, they were able to eat well and sleep soundly as usual, and they did not delay the enemy and the construction work without delaying in the slightest.

However, Drifting Nothing understands that once more ghost armies and black fog are strongly pressing, it will only be a matter of time before the fortifications here are lost. Therefore, before the fortifications were fully completed, the army had already been arranged to retreat in an orderly manner. Of course, not all of them retreated, but professionals like Fezz Bridgera, as well as relatively poor foot soldiers, who were left first.

In the end, less than half of the original ones remained to defend and continue to reinforce, and most of them were still men and horses of the Church of Light who might not be able to wait for the orders of the Church of Light. However, for the time being, Pope Peter could not overcome this line of defense by half a step.

It was another two days, and finally, amid the rumbling sound, a large number of ghost mobile troops appeared. Standing at the top of the defensive line, you can faintly see a thick black fog rising from many places on the horizon. It seems that under the command of Pope Peter, the ghost army of the underworld has changed its strategy, no longer steadily and steadily encroaching in all directions, but first by the elite with strong combat effectiveness in the front, and the rear is handed over to those ghosts who are slow to move and have weak combat effectiveness to slowly ghost.

What followed was a fierce and brutal battle. Except for the absence of a trace, no one present could truly erase these ghosts. And in order to contain Pope Peter, he couldn't get out to participate in the war at all. Therefore, no matter how the human army bombards and kills, it will never be able to make the ghosts lose the slightest. On the contrary, there are human beings who are negligent and will be killed by ghosts. Then, it won't be long before the humans who were slain turned into ghosts. Therefore, the longer the war lasts, the greater the losses of the human army, and the stronger the ghosts will be. Therefore, it is simply a battle with no chance of winning!

The fierce battle lasted for a day and a night. Although several fortifications were about to collapse, under the desperate counterattack and rush repair of the human army, they did not let the ghost army attack even a single step after all. But looking at the troops that had lost nearly 100,000 troops, the heart that drifted without a trace couldn't help but drip blood. But, without a trace, they had to grit their teeth and struggle to hold on. Because, the longer they hold on, the longer the humans in the rear will be able to prepare.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the human army realized that something was wrong. Because, from a distance, a procession of men and horses rumbled in. It seems that it is definitely much more orderly and calm than the regular army of the Church of Light that has been demonized. Although there are only about 10,000 people, there is no doubt that after they join, the scales that seemed to be in balance will be skewed.

What kind of eyesight is floating without a trace, just one glance, you can know that "it's bad"! Because, the ghost army of about 10,000 is actually all the ghosts of the underworld with extraordinary combat power.

Sure enough, as soon as the ghost army, which was only about 10,000, entered the battle, the human army found out that something was wrong. Because, unlike the previous ghosts, these ghost armies are not afraid of any magical attacks. Suddenly, the previous strategy of using magic to smash the ghost, and then using wind magic to blow it away and blow it away no longer worked. What's more, the bodies of these ghost creatures are still hard and abnormal, even if they are attacked by physical arrows, they can hardly hurt them in the slightest! Even if a few magic arrows are lucky enough to open a hole in their body, then the hole will heal instantly!

Therefore, it didn't take long for this special ghost army to cross the forefront that all kinds of ghost creatures that had been fighting for a day and a night could cross, and quickly came to the high city walls......

"Don't panic, everyone!" At the critical moment, Piao Wuxian comforted and reminded that although there were still nearly 300,000 troops, it was on this noisy battlefield that everyone could hear clearly, "Let go of these unbreakable ghost armies first, and concentrate fire to suppress other ghost things behind them." We don't want to destroy these demon armies, so when they climb the walls, we can smash them down with rolling stones and sticks!"

Sure enough, the rioting human army suddenly settled down again. Otherwise, I am afraid that before this special ghost army climbs the city wall, the human army will be completely dispersed in terror.

However, Piao Wu did not feel relieved by this, because Piao Wu had already seen that a small number of people in this special ghost army had not participated in the attack. And the abnormal behavior of this small number of people has made Drift without a trace alarming.

Next, the small part left behind by this special ghost army actually cut down trees and made trebuchets as fast as they could.

"These ghost armies don't want to borrow siege equipment to assist in the attack, right?" Piao Wuxian thought suspiciously, as he continued to pay attention to the every move of this special ghost army left behind.

Soon, he knew that his guess was wrong. Because, instead of pushing the good trebuchet forward, these special ghost armies left behind fixed them in place one by one. At such a distance, it is simply impossible to project a boulder onto the city wall. And the smaller stones, even if they are projected, will not have any effect at all.
