Chapter 288: The Power of the Necromancer (Part II)

[There was one shift yesterday, so there are two more shifts today]

There are two types of necromancers. One is the support type and the other is the horror type of combat. Many of these thieves were clever people, and many of them were knowledgeable, and as soon as they saw the corpse soldiers, they knew that this attack could not be successful.

Necromancers are not limited to creating corpses, and have nothing to do with mental power. As long as the necromancer is given enough time, he can create an army of the undead. Although the town of Telunsu is a small city, the four walls are intact, and it is pointless to attack from the city gate, so it is better to retreat and use siege means to deal with the caravan inside.

"Count them as fast as they run. Aini looked at the fleeing thieves and knew that the speed of the corpse soldiers would never be able to catch up, so he had to let the corpse soldiers block the city gate and return to the camp with his own soldiers and mercenaries.

Those thieves were indeed lucky, and with a little stimulation, Aini's corpse soldiers could turn into berserk corpses, increasing their speed and strength dozens of times more powerfully. Berserkers only have a few hours to live, and when they run out of energy, they will break into pieces.

The corpse soldier is still considered an undead, but the berserk corpse soldier can only be regarded as a one-time magic golem.

Seeing Ani's stupid look, Shaman also looked gloomy. Salin said: "What are you anxious about, these thieves must have been instructed by someone to attack sooner or later." I have an idea, I don't know if you want to hear it. ”

"Just say it, don't talk nonsense. "Ani was a little angry, if he wasn't selling demon wolves, he didn't care about these thieves. The last thing a necromancer is afraid of is a siege, and the more people who besiege, the more materials he has to make corpse soldiers. He is now worried about his own cargo.

Twenty of the eighty demon wolves he sold were caught by the Caucasians, and they were all semi-domesticated and could be sold for a large price. The remaining sixty are also two to three years old, excluding the cost of purchase and transportation, he can earn about five hundred gold coins per demon wolf, and he can earn forty or fifty thousand gold coins this time, not counting the magic core he carries with him.

You must know that this is the benefit after removing the cost, this tens of thousands of miles, the funds for buying the demon wolf, and the expenses of his soldiers are all in it, if the demon wolf is gone, he may lose tens of thousands of gold coins.

"There are already large caravans on the side of Metatrin City, about 80 percent by sea, but there are also about 20 percent caravans on this road. There are so many caravans, all of them are on this road, and I don't hear of anyone being attacked by the bandits. We've got a lot of guards right now. ”

Shaman and Aini both nodded, the soldiers of the two men combined were more than three hundred and fifty people, and those servants were also combat-ready, with a total size of eight hundred. Even if there are a thousand people in the general thief group, they dare not start, and they must be at least five times the size before they can try it.

"If these thieves are really entrenched here all the year round, how did the merchants of Metatrin City pass through? Since these thieves have gathered together temporarily, as long as we make a gesture of breaking through, it is impossible for them not to do anything, and I deduce that the main force of the thieves is not yet ready, so we cannot defend here, and as soon as the morning dawns, we will leave from the south. ”

"Leaving the town, we will lose a lot. Although Sharman knew that what Salin said was right, she was carrying all the family guards, and it was heartbreaking to lose one.

"It's okay, the main force of the enemy does not appear, the rest, I will help you. Salin turned to Aini and said, "I'll let them keep as many corpses as possible for you, tomorrow we will have more than a thousand corpses, and even if there are more enemies at that time, you won't be afraid, right?" ”

"That's right. Ani restrained her murderous aura. Knowing that there was no need to be angry with the enemy, he comforted Shaman and said, "I'm just worried about the safety of the goods, and those thieves don't have to worry about it." ”

Salin thought to himself, Shaman's goods can be loaded with dimensional stones by himself, and there will be no loss, and now he has to take care of only Aini's goods, and there is actually no trouble as imagined. As long as the enemy is not a sneak attack, his family badge can kill any strong person below level 9 in seconds.

What's more, both he and Aini have the ability to fly, and they can still escape if they can't beat it.

Shaman was still frowning, she was leading a caravan for the first time, and if something went wrong, her mother would not indulge her in the future.

Aini also thought about the gains and losses, if something really happened, it was a big deal to let Saleen help bring the corpse of the demon wolf, and the loss would not be too big. So he comforted Shaman and said, "We have three great magicians, a silver sword master, and the enemy must have at least a ninth-level magician to eat us." If it's an eighth-level magician, you don't have to be too afraid. Will the thieves have magicians?"

"It stands to reason that there will be no ......"

"Then it's up to you. Ani didn't want to brag about anything with the little girl, and if he didn't care about the safety of the cargo, he was in a different mood, and he pulled Salin out of Shaman's barracks and back to his barracks. Of course, Nania and the others followed closely.

Back at Aini's barracks, Salin said to Aini, "I want to take a look along the way, and sure enough, someone has already laid a net against Metatrin City. If a large caravan goes from Phoenix to Metatrin and is robbed on the way, it will inevitably affect business. What do you think?"

Aini thought for a moment. "Between Trensu and Metatrin, there are new villages and towns that you can use your own people. But here, it belongs to Phoenix. Archduke of Phoenix...... That kid is still under the control of Holy Rock City, and if you want to take it down here, you have to talk to Holy Rock City. ”

"It's only two thousand miles from Metatrin and more than ten thousand miles from Holy Rock City, so there's nothing to talk about. Occupy it, and let Holy Rock City recognize my status. ”

"You're not afraid of starting a war?"

"Don't be afraid, what about you?"

Aini smiled and said, "I'm not afraid. You can indeed garrison here in the name of exterminating the thieves, but the real problem is that in the future, Holy Rock City will not care about you for now. ”

"This needs your help. ”

"Me?" Aini was surprised, his abilities were limited, in terms of business, he could even talk to Salin on an equal footing, but when it came to garrisoning, he was not qualified.

"I want you to help me train a few necromancers, don't refuse yet, there are benefits for you. Necromantic Flame I was responsible for the purchase. ”

"Why don't you let Daniel do this?" Ani didn't refuse, and Salin said that if he was given a favor, it would definitely be no worse. But he still has doubts, Daniel is also a fifth-level necromancer. If Saleen had asked Daniel to guide, it would have cost a lot less, Daniel was his follower, and he was Saline's friend, which was completely different.

"After the matter in Holy Rock City is settled, you won't have to run around in the future, but Daniel has to fight for me, and he doesn't have time to teach his students. This is the border of Phoenix, and I need a few necromancers to guard it. And the necromancer is the fastest advanced magician, as long as I have the money to smash, a few years. I'll be able to get the Tripolar Mage. ”

Saleen's idea was simple, necromancers were more important to the military. Elemental mages are used against sorcerers, but necromancers can inflict massive damage on enemy armies. Especially during the siege, a large number of corpses and skeletons climb the city walls, which will cause great pressure on the enemy.

"Okay, then I promise you. "Aini is also very happy, helping Salen is equivalent to helping himself. This time he went to Holy Rock City, it was all Salin's idea to let him take his parents out. Taking her parents out of Holy Rock City, Ani won't have to worry too much about doing things in the future.

Aini's parents had killed a large number of people from the Holy See, but now that Qin Yin and the Tanggulas Empire had officially started a war, Aini's parents were no longer very restricted, and even if the family released them, Holy Rock City would not have much obstruction.

"Tomorrow you have to do more, the thieves will not have too many horses, our convoy will run, and they can only rely on a small number of cavalry to chase. I'll lend you fifty alchemy crossbows, and let the cavalry be cut off. ”

"Hey. "Aini didn't refuse, he didn't have a title, and his own soldiers were not allowed to use alchemy crossbows. Salin didn't have a knighthood either, and neither did Shaman. But thieves don't care about the law, there must be alchemy crossbows among the thieves, if you only rely on the steel crossbows of Aini's own soldiers, the range is not as good as others, it will be very troublesome.

Thieves can stay far behind, harassing caravans with the range advantage of alchemy crossbows.

It would be nice if Aini's necromancer could summon a level 6 undead knight, powerful in combat and faster than most of the human cavalry.

"Nania and I don't want to do it, I'm sorry for you. ”

Salin didn't mean to reveal his identity, these thieves obviously saw that there were a few big magicians in the team and they were still doing it, they were definitely not ordinary thieves, who was behind them Salin didn't know, so he had to wait for the real enemy to be exposed. Who intends to control this trade route. Saleen must eliminate him.

This road is its own, from Metatrin to Trensu, from Trensu to Deep Forest Town, from Deep Forest Town through the Swamp of Chaos, and then to Didipus, these thousands of miles of road, no other forces are allowed to appear.

After discussing the battle arrangements for tomorrow, Salin left the alchemy crossbow before returning to his barracks. It was already completely dark, the thieves in the town of Trensu had been driven out, the north and south exits were guarded by undead, and the thieves who surrounded them did not try to attack the city at night, and they did not say anything all night.

Early the next morning, the caravan assembled and prepared to set off.

The servants in charge of the cart were given wooden shields and long knives. All the horses pulling the carts were replaced with skeleton horses. On Aini's side, the servants in charge of the vehicles were replaced with steel crossbows, while his ironclad knights were replaced with alchemical crossbows lent to him by Saleen.

Sharman was called to Saleen's carriage, and Saleen didn't want anything to happen to the Roland girl. After all, the Roland family had a friendly attitude towards Metatrin City and gave a lot of help in the early stages of construction. Salin, the quaint baroness, is very interested in dating, and Sharman is her sister, and if she dies, she will be difficult to get along with in the future.
