"It's not like I haven't tried it before, but the enemy is too cunning."
Orr shook his head.As the commander of the undead army, the skeleton mage will immediately order a retreat when the battle situation is not good, and if it is seriously defeated, he will order the undead monster to cover his escape, and it is very difficult to capture.It's not that it hasn't been successful, and once it was very difficult to catch the commander.As a result, in order not to leak the news of the Katztu, the skeleton mage decisively used magic to self-immolate, and would rather die than give in."
Ugh-" Hugh sighed, "I don't know when the battle with the undead will end. ”Olmeran, the words of comfort and encouragement have been said several times before, and it is estimated that the other party is tired of hearing them."
Captain Knight Banjar, Captain Tofin, how is the situation with the undead monsters?"
At the right time, Legovis climbed the watchtower and hurriedly inquired about the situation.Yafen also followed, and saw the regiment commander hurriedly bow down and salute."
The enemy seems to be still preparing and has not yet launched an attack."
Even when the eldest prince came, Hughes's eyes kept on the north and did not look back."
Your Highness, please rest assured that our side is ready to meet the enemy."
Legovis didn't care about that.He stepped forward and looked into the distance through the falling snow in the air, and saw a large group of small black dots arranged in several squares."
Oh?
The number of undead monsters seems to be even greater than last time. ”Orr came to the Grand Prince and explained, "As the winter deepens, the number of undead monsters will only increase. ”"I see."
A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the cold wind, and the undead army moved with it, and the skeleton mage finally gave the order to attack.The enemy's commander uses this strange voice to direct the actions of the undead army, and the command is conveyed much more efficiently than on the human side, as easily as controlling one's own hands and feet.A large horde of undead monsters rushed in, and they split into two groups to attack the east and west sides of the wall."
Actually attack in two ways, then I'll go to the eastern section of the city wall to support."
Legoves took the greatsword from his back and turned around and walked down the watchtower."
Yafen, protect Your Highness."
Orr admonished."
Yes, Captain."
After saying that, Yafen hurriedly followed.Next, Theseus issued various orders to deal with the attack of the undead monsters.Let the magician cast a large magic now, the slinger is ready to use the trebuchet to throw boulders, the archers shoot their own arrows depending on the situation, and the soldiers in the middle section of the wall send half of their numbers to the east and west ends of the wall to support, and the remaining soldiers are on guard.Even if the undead monster didn't rush to the middle, it couldn't be taken lightly, who knows if the enemy's commander would have any conspiracy.Orr also instructed the Knights Templar to prepare for battle.The Red Sand Fortress has two teams of ten mages, each with five fire mages and five wind mages.The team of mages supporting the eastern end of the city wall is performing a large magic, and the nine mages follow the captain's instructions and chant incantations in unison.This is a necessary process, and without chanting, it is impossible to ensure the consistency of each mage's mana, and it is easy to fail to cast mana.After chanting, the ten magicians raised their staffs in unison, and a ball of light appeared at the top of each staff, five red and five cyan.A huge flame suddenly appeared in the sky, and even now it was very conspicuous in the wind and snow.Immediately afterward, the flame spun at an accelerated pace, forming an inverted cone at the bottom, and in a few moments it touched the ground and moved in all directions.Everywhere you go, a large cloud of snow melts away, revealing that this is a large magic, a fire tornado.The nearby undead monsters couldn't escape at all, and were sucked up and burned to death by the strong wind.Of course, the commander will not watch his men being burned to death and immediately give the order to disperse.The undead monsters that had originally gathered pulled away one after another, minimizing the damage.On the other side, more than a dozen large trebuchets are ready.The trebuchet of the Red Sand Fortress is larger than that of the Frontier Town, and the counterweight is heavier, so the throwing range is naturally longer.Together, two soldiers carry a boulder onto a grenadier fence, while another soldier does the stone with a viscous black liquid and sets it on fire.This black liquid was discovered by the Knight Commander near the Red Sand Fortress and can be ignited with fire, but it emits a large amount of foul-smelling black smoke that cannot be extinguished with water.At first, Hughes didn't know what this black liquid was for, so he thought about it and used it to increase the power of the trebuchet.The flint stone thrown out will leave a flame on the ground that will continue to burn, and it will take a while to burn out, which can have a certain effect on the undead monsters that are afraid of cold and heat."
Ready-" Adjusting the direction of the attack, a knight saw the right moment, suddenly waved his arm and shouted, "Release!"
”The rope was cut and large flints were thrown out, falling to the ground and shattering, scattering small stones in all directions, expanding the range of flames.Each flint stone was capable of knocking down several undead monsters, and the spread of flames hindered their progress slightly.When the enemy is in range, the archers draw their bowstrings, aim slightly at the target, and immediately release their fingers and shoot sharp arrows when they hear the command.Don't worry about how bad the shooting conditions are now, shooting so many arrows at one time will always have a good chance of several targets.These attacks only slightly reduced the number of undead monsters, and most of them still rushed to the foot of the city walls.As in the case of Frontier Town, the undead monsters here also climb the city walls by stacking human towers.The walls of the Red Sand Fortress are nearly ten meters high, and it is still possible to climb them using this method.In the defensive section of the Templars, several Templars lined up, their swords held in front of them, praying to the gods.After praying, they suddenly turned their long swords at a ninety-degree angle, the body of the sword glowing holy, and the sword in their hands was granted the divine element.Arriving at the city walls, the Templars swung their swords and flew with several blades of white light, knocking down the human towers that had just been piled up below."
Wow!
Help me!
”Not far away, several soldiers stabbed their spears but failed to stop a carrion wolf and make it jump onto the wall.Seeing this, one of the nearest Templars rushed over and slashed his sword down, cutting off the head of the rotting wolf.Make up for it with another knife and completely destroy the magic core.Shaking off the black blood from his sword, the Templar turned to the soldiers and said, "Take aim before shooting, don't give the undead a chance." ”"Yes!"
The soldiers responded in unison.After that, the two sides entered a stalemate offensive and defensive battle.With the experience gained from dealing with undead monsters all year round, and with the support of the Templars, it is unlikely that this number of undead troops will be able to breach the city walls.
