Death Knight - Chapter 4
At this moment, just at sunrise, the morning sun fluttered and scattered under the refraction of dewdrops, and the crimson sunrise gradually rose with the faint mist and warm red clouds. And in that magnificent glow, the slender high towers are like illusive silhouettes, firmly attracting the attention of the passing away.
The four high towers abandon the rigidity and rigidity of the rocks, gather from different directions to the center, and then cleverly merge into one, like soft and resilient vines. Even under the stark background of the Naga Mountains, the spire of the towering clouds still looks magnificent.
This is the most outstanding work of the great craftsmen of the dwarves in the past hundred years-the star-seeking method of the city of flames.
Legend has it that a long time ago, huge stars hit the Naga Mountains that traverse the plains. Under the action of strong external forces, the sky-like wall finally opened a gap. As a result, the Nile River that originally crossed the ground also showed its own veins, and patience with the usual flow of water, smoothed the gap to the current flat land.
“This is the only way to connect the Great Plains of East and West, and the Grand Canyon, named by the world as the land of the stars. For hundreds of years, before the alliance was established, this was the main point where the soldiers fought until Luvis. It was only in 1967 that people built a city of inflammation, “Richard said of history in a consistent academic tone.” I have already sent people to accurately survey geographic data. The width of the entire canyon is 20 kilometers, of which The Lu River occupies most of it, and it is the section where the current is turbulent. The real passageway is the section of the six kilometers occupied by the Yancheng Fortress. “
Probably smelling the hidden blood under the sunrise, Alsace’s tone subconsciously excited: “On both sides are towering mountains, the front is a broad plain, and the 14-kilometer-wide river is more than the double layer of the fortress. The walls are more secure, and the three agricultural cities in the West Plain can provide all the supplies. This is a masterpiece that is difficult to defend and easy to defend. If you can win such a magnificent fortress, it will be very fulfilling, right? “
“I remember a lot of people in history said that, but the flames of the flames of the city only changed hands once.” Roland glanced at each other.
“Then this time will be its second change of hands, right, my genius sir?” Arthas was reluctant to show weakness. “And the knight, who is known as the” Pride of Elazia “, was once in the city of flames. After spending a year in the middle of it, I must have a good grasp of the military configuration and defense structure? “
“I have already declared my name to the outside world, and they will definitely make drastic adjustments.” The other party replied unwillingly. “On the other hand, it is difficult to imagine that you would be hoping for such boring things, are you afraid? ? “
The provocation had an immediate effect, and Arthas’s face sank before the attack, but before that, the Lich interrupted the quarrel between the two.
“If you are so energetic, you might as well plan your tactics. This battle is of great significance to us. If you cannot capture the Yancheng Fortress at once, all the strategic plans for the first stage will be lost. The Eastern Plains will open its doors and be completely exposed to the offensive range of human beings. I think you all know this military common sense. “Richard’s complexion gradually became serious.” According to the latest information, the main force of the alliance will be within a week. The internal assembly is completed, which is five days faster than my original estimate! “
“My tactics can give full play to the advantages of the undead. One week is enough.” Roland pouted.
“It’s not enough, my leader ~!” Richard replied expressionlessly. “In order to break through the star-seeker array, the first six days must be used to summon a tower of magic. Only things that can be used for combat are Just one day … just one day! “
“One day … really harsh conditions,” Arthas smiled confidently. “How about, Lord Roland, can you defeat the 100-year-old city of flames in one day? Can you do that? And don’t forget to take charge of the defense It is the famous light guide Uther. “
When he heard the name “Uther”, Roland’s expression shook uncontrollably, but he quickly suppressed the tremor of memories-at least on the surface.
“We have no other choice. If Richard only gives us one day, then we have to capture the fortress in one day, no matter who is behind the city.” The death knight chief shrugged. Then, Lema turned back. “Let’s go, Arthas, let’s redeploy it. This time we have to use all our forces.”
Over the past 150 years, its standing and the numerous bones buried under the city walls have made the reputation of the Yancheng Fortress reach its heyday. Although the fighting in the Alliance never stopped, few people were willing to face the wall that was wide enough for eight horses to run in parallel-except for the undead in front of them.
The two ends of the fortress are respectively connected to the nearly vertical cliffs and the flowing river. The rear has sufficient and safe supply lines. No matter from a tactical or strategic perspective, there are no flaws. But even so, there was no slackness in the vigilance of the city.
The soldiers on the observation deck carefully observed the movement around them, and from time to time, the knights leading the mixed squad were patrolling around. Under that grim appearance, there are even ten times as many soldiers in the fortress building as they are ready to go. Once any abnormality occurs, they will immediately come to support.
“The entire Paladin is here. Of the 4,000 Paladins in the league, 1,500 are guarding this fort, and more of them are high-level Silver Paladins. Are the undead fighting? “Even Meiss, the deputy commander familiar with Uther, felt that the former was overly worried.
Uther didn’t answer anything, still staring into the distance. The undead army’s camp was ten kilometers away, but the clear black frozen ground crossed the obstacles of the distance, reflecting the dazzling sight into the eyes of the soldiers. And in that black center, a tall tower has penetrated the ground and poked straight into the sky, as if trying to grab the clutches of the sun.
“Will they have the power to break through the Astral Circle?” Recalling the speculation of the mages in the army, Uther couldn’t help but whispered.
“Is it possible, that kind of power? It is said that Hoshimi can even resist the magical attack of Li, not to mention that a handful of Lich tricks.”
“No, we must be prepared in all aspects to avoid confusion in case of emergencies. The number of undead is more than double ours, and we have confirmed that they are not waiting for support. There must be a reason not to attack now.” The tone of the tone suddenly changed from indifference-like contemplation to commanding tone. “Let the commanders plan an alternative course of action immediately, and let the mages estimate the impact of the star-seeker array damage on other defense facilities. “
“Yes, sir.” Mesis planned to leave.
“In addition, tell Archmage Antonidas that it is time to fulfill that contract.” There was a hint of helplessness in Uthel’s majestic voice.
The young paladin did not respond for a moment, but the next moment, Messi protested loudly and showed an incomprehensible expression: “Excuse me, we are not fighting against the water. Is it necessary to do that? To be honest, I don’t understand at all, what is necessary for such a boring institution like a solid fortress like this! “
“Because it is too strong, it is even more difficult for adversaries. I believe that the performance of the contract does not affect our tactics, and that is also what the guardians of the flames of all ages must follow, and it is too much fate. Uther’s gaze returned to the distance, on the black that was incompatible with nature, “Or do you think, Mess, I can’t survive the battle?”
“Of course this is not the meaning … Since the adult is so determined, I will immediately inform the chief mage.” Meiss’s voice gradually lowered, but before leaving, the paladin’s expression suddenly filled with firmness: “But, Lord Uther, absolutely no one will be able to capture the flames of the city under the guard of the Paladin ~! “
“I believe in your strength, go for it.” Uther nodded with a smile, but when the young deputy left, the smile was quickly replaced by a helpless serious expression, “Maybe it is really human Destiny above wisdom, but if you look at it from a soldier’s point of view, it is probably a lucky thing to be in such a battle … “
In the past two months, since the end of the battle, the Undead Legion has been like a large net that spreads the entire Plain of East Elazia into it, and 150,000 troops have been scattered into countless branches to plunder the city and resources, regardless of How humans can resist, can’t stop the pace that is like a bamboo shoot.
Today, the rushing branches gather again into a whole, and what the spearhead is pointing to is the beautiful and solemn sight in front of them.
In order to delay the advance of the undead army as much as possible, the Paladin Knights arranged a large number of obstacles in advance in front of the Flame City. Before the death knight arrived, the mages created a huge swamp with magic and buried various magic traps in it.
During the summoning of the Lich Towers, the vanguards of the two armies had tentatively confronted each other several times before the city of Flame. The shadow of the abyss has a strong magic power, and under the cover of the death knights, they patiently dissolve the obstacles of the alliance. At the same time, the Paladin Knights took the initiative to harass the undead forces in operation. After six days, the masters’ masterpieces have basically been cleaned up, and the hard rock at the bottom of the swamp has once again come into view. The casualties of the two sides in the confrontation were not great, but the nerves were already tight.
The sun on the seventh day shone on the earth, awakening everything.
The tide-like black long line occupies the entire horizon, and the sharp blades of sophisticated weapons capture the cold light of the sky, and the general attack of the undead is about to begin.
The green tulle enclosing the new high-rise tower has faded, and the black poly-magic tower stands abruptly above the plain, cutting the golden sunlight into countless thin lines, and constantly spreading magical atmosphere around it.
“Are you finally going to start?” Uther, who walked up the wall again, muttered to himself, and involuntarily clenched the great sword that he was carrying behind him.
As if they were giants with muscles all over their bodies, the joints of the fortress were activated, the soldiers reached their posts quickly and in an orderly manner, and the knights were already ready for battle. No one thinks that the City of Flames will be attacked. As the league ’s premier Knights of the Holy Sword, the only thing they have to do is to renew the 150-year undefeated legend of the City of Flames with life and honor.
The cold and black frozen ground was filled with silent silence at this moment, and the tireless undead deployed before the dawn. They don’t seem to take into account the high barriers of the Flame City at all, and set out a clear charge formation-the central assault square composed of nearly 10,000 death knights in the center, and the huge spider warriors on both wings. The legion formed by the ghouls shoulders the role of the main force in the melee, and is arranged in the center of the entire square. The corpses and shadows as the reserve team are assembled at the rear.
The 150,000 undead army is like a rolled out carpet, covering all the green, freezing life and hope in the dark. Behind them, the black tower is inserted into the sky’s body, showing off the grand title with flaunting snow mountains all year round.
Contrary to the concept of living beings, undead with infinite energy and undead bodies always leave the position of charge to the superiors. As a result, Roland and Arthas, heads and deputies of the Knights, are in the column closest to the enemy. But this does not hinder the command of tactics. With the power of Juju Tower, the Liches have already established a communication network of consciousness. Death knights wearing special jewelry can obtain the judgment of the overall situation from the rear while fighting. Act accordingly and fight the enemy’s weak points as soon as possible.
“Ah, it’s today. Imagine the future. All bards will use their tongues to commend the great achievements of the undead who won the Flame of the City in one day … No, it should be a miracle ~! Alsatian’s voice was full of anticipation, and then asked Roland, who was silent, “how about you?”
“what happened?”
“The defensive general, the title he holds is probably to be counted with two hands-the guardian of the flames, the pride of Draenor, the red tracer, the light guide, the head of the Paladin … and … “As if to evoke memories deep in the other person’s mind, Arthas’s voice suddenly slowed,” the former teacher of the Dark Eagle … “
“I never said that I would cut off the mentorship with him.” Roland smiled hard.
“Really?” Arthas said in a tone of surprise, “What about his thoughts? Does he know why you fight and why you avenge?”
“Even if you know it? It’s been a full ten years, and no matter who it is, it will change unknowingly as time goes by.” The eyes of the Avengers flashed with confusion, “The Paladin betrayed his goddess , And devoted to His Majesty Ishtoli, since even this kind of thing can happen, there is no other way to speculate. The only way is probably only to meet. “
Roland paused, but did not restore the indifferent expression as usual: “Master Jing’s sword” Filian “is also a big sword. ‘Swords are basically used to cut people. The only thing needed is Power, so the best choice is the big sword ~! ‘He taught me that.’
Maybe it was the relationship that Arthas asked just now. In the tone of the narrator, it should be imperceptible to add a sense of nostalgia. “So at that time, I was young and chose the kind of heavy and reckless under such incitement. Things that are difficult to manipulate, although I could n’t grasp them at the beginning of the practice, but gradually, I became obsessed with such weapons … The big sword made me survive the harsh battlefield in the north. Not only that, this way of fighting It also allows me to develop the idea of thinking positively and never escaping difficulties. “
“I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or a fate. Frost’s also fits the big sword, which is very suitable for me.” Roland inserted the rifle in his hand into the soil, and pulled out the big sword behind him. All over the body, “But it’s icy cold, the exact opposite of fire.”
“So, you mean you don’t know how Usel will react after the meeting? Don’t plan to talk to him?”
“Master’s character is not ordinary,” Roland just shook his head. “Moreover, as an aggressor, I don’t have a persuasive position.”
“So, regret it?” Arthas continued to ask, his red eyes gazing at each other as if to see through Roland’s heart.
Had he not hesitated in his heart, maybe he would have missed that time, wouldn’t he?
Roland’s lips squirmed slightly, but then indifference returned to his eyes: “I’ve realized something. If I have to use a sword to separate the victory and defeat, then I hope to get an undisturbed duel, and nothing more. “
Compared to the deadly minds of the death knights, the Lich far behind didn’t have extra energy at the moment. Because the battle to attack the flames of the flames of the city has been murmured in that whisper of the spell, and the curtain is quietly opened.
Like shining fairy powder inlaid on black basalt, the huge seven-horse star array created around the magic tower is constantly radiating dazzling light, guided by incredible power, invisible and qualitative magic in the air Under the traction of each corner of the square array-all composed of seven high-level Lich star arrays-gradually gathered towards the center. It was as if an invisible hand was squeezing.
Over time, the clouds in the sky gradually deformed, forming a huge vortex in the air above the top of the tower. At this time, the energy accumulated in the giant hand finally reached a critical concentration. At the tip of the tower, the space suddenly twisted and bent, and the sight in the sight suddenly jumbled. The next moment, a thin but extremely thin line Then, the laser hit the center of the vortex.
The Alliance fighters watching the strange sight dozens of kilometers away made almost the same action at the same time: subconsciously covering their ears. As if the wind was passing by the ear at a close distance, a certain force inspired by the dazzling thin line pierced the air barrier at high speed, and the sharp clamor generated by friction followed through the human brain.
“All troops stick to their posts ~! Keep the horses quiet and don’t disturb the formation ~!” Uther issued a command loudly, but when he turned his eyes to the air again, he suddenly noticed that the color of the sky suddenly glare .
The bright line immersed in the center of the vortex at an instant, and a moment later, a scarlet, eerie light burst into the depths of the clouds. The flame was burning fiercely, like blood on a white cloth, spreading rapidly around, and then permeated the entire sky. Just a blink of an eye, looking at the fresh sky reflected in the countless pupils of the sky, has been replaced by the **** color. And the vortex sky, in the sound of the rumbling echo, cracked a gap that constantly radiated white light.
“That’s … the channel to the astral world ~!” From the breath revealed by the vortex-like fissure, Antonidas finally recognized the spell used by the opponent. “They are calling Crimson Star ~! Hurry up, let the troops on the first city wall come down and start to evacuate immediately!” For the first time, I saw the mage’s state of disregard. Rushed out.
“Can it still be broken? Hoshimi’s array … This name is really ironic, it seems that there is only a white-bladed battle.” Uther on the side showed a heavy expression.
“Since it has such a name, if you don’t know the true posture of the meteor, you can’t justify it?” Richard looked mockingly at the chaotic scene on the fortress’s head, and smiled with satisfaction.
In the sky, the **** curtain was licking the edge by the tongue of fire, but the Lich turned his attention to the tower behind him. Then he just waited for the meteorite to come and the spell was completed, and as he expected, the demon There was enough magic left in the tower to give full play to the battles that followed.
“Everything is under control, even the Flameneck can’t resist the power of progress …” His cold mouth curved into an arc, and began to chat with his colleagues around him with an old sermon tone. “Once experienced Over a long period of time, knowledge itself will become a tremendous force. That is always truth. “
Almost at the same time, the destroyer from the astral world revealed its burning body. In the endless **** sky, the huge meteorite oppressed the senses at a seemingly slow speed, burning the sight. Before people’s consciousness got rid of the shackles of shock, it had run over dozens of kilometers and crashed into the fortress walls.
At the moment when it was about to fall, the star-seeking magic circle finally appeared in the form of power visible to the naked eye: the empty water-blue dome wrapped the entire fortress, and the red shell was blocked by the hard shell. Two huge energies were annihilating each other at the point of contact, and the tall city walls trembled like leaves in the wind in the huge roar. The shell of the red meteorite gradually cracked and peeled off, and the burning debris slowly dropped down the shining curtain, arousing a large amount of dust on the ground.
Even if it gradually shattered under the pressure of the French array, the black core with rich texture and hardness inside the red star still broke through the blue curtain, and the barriers were squeezed to the sides like ripples, forming folds. Under the huge impact, the entire Yancheng Fortress immediately set off a huge sandstorm.
In that almost opaque wind, golden and green lights flashed from time to time—priests and mages had to sacrifice part of their mana to create walls of defense to preserve their power—even so, many soldiers who were too late to evacuate suffered Doom.
The roar in the valley faded away, the dust gradually fell, and the enchanted enchantment faded from the people who reopened their eyes. Through the red dust flying in the sky, the knights saw the broken wall that originally belonged to the first city wall—spreading around in a radioactive shape. The impact caused by inertia not only caused a large area of mountain rocks to sink, but even made it far away. The second wall of the city was also damaged, and the broken limbs that were not completely buried let the terror spread beyond control.
“So why did the undead pose such an onslaught formation?” Messi stared at the black line in the sky suddenly, “What should we do? Should we use the horse-rejection formation?”
“The power gap is too disparate. The death knights have sawtooth tips that can easily break through the horses. We must use dynamic braking to allow the cavalry to focus on the Paladins and immediately set up an attack formation on the periphery. Silver The Cloud Army covered the attack on the second wall. “Uther gave a decisive command,” It must be maintained until the wall is repaired … then you can step back … “He turned and watched the wall collapsed due to the impact of the debris. The gap, Antonidas has begun to command repairs, but before that end, the Cavaliers had to use blood as a price to delay the cold invasion of the North.
Silence, like the undead camp in the cemetery, broke a long silence at that moment. The long-awaited death knight finally began to charge, accompanied by the loud noise of the shaking of the ground, the six-kilometer-wide black wavy clip wrapped in cold and death, and swooped towards the city of flames.
A large piece of dust rising from the charge was thrown behind the huge waves, while tiny ice crystal debris gradually filled the dense formation. The second spell of the magic tower has arrived: the armor formed by the ice seems to have Life is spreading rapidly on the body of the death knight—as if covered with a new shell, the thick white freezes the waves, but the death knights who are tireless and do not need to breathe are not caused by the extra Weight and slight lag.
When the crystal armor was completed, the first wave of counterattacks from the Knights of the Holy Sword came at the same time-the silver arrows were attacking the flood of death in a stance of covering the sky-the number accounted for 10% of the knights One, the Silver Cloud Legion, composed of 8,000 experienced longbowmen, has begun to shoot.
The speed of the silver arrow stranded in the sky seems to be slow, but it cannot be resisted in the near moment, and even the eyes of the death knight cannot capture the dazzling arrow reflecting the sun. Ice debris exploded and scattered everywhere, and the silver arrows that penetrated the layers of obstacles and buried deep in the dead’s body made the swift death knights grit their teeth—the long-lost pain was awakened by the silver arrows, And deeply stabbed the soul.
Even the Frost Armor, which was completed with the power condensed by a large magic array, could not completely absorb the powerful impact of those bright lines that cut through the air. From time to time, the death knight was crushed by the ice armor, and then fell off the horse in a pouring rain-like attack, becoming a real soulless body.
After the third wave of attacks ended, against the background of the astonishing ruins that had not completely stopped collapsing, the human knight who also carried a rifle assault finally caught the sight of the dead.
“This ten-kilometer road is really difficult to run …” Arthas and Roland were both in the center of the formation, and they were hit hardest. But the two didn’t care about the silver arrows buried in their bodies. “Their resistance is very tenacious … but it is fun to fight like this! If the pain is not felt during the fight, it is too much to say.”
Before Arthas’s words fell, the Lich’s spell tore the ice crystal’s armor, and the arrow feathers inserted into it, away from the death knight’s body. The star dust accompanied the sun, and was immediately thrown behind the black figure. The large shards of bright silver that were stirred up, flying under the influence of inertia, disturbed the cold air, it really looked like the waves breaking on the reef into countless water sprays. At the same time as the shards of ice crystals flew up into the air, two huge torrents finally collided together.
Under the force of the force of inertia, the armor was like a toy made of paper, and it was completely crushed in the blink of an eye. Weapons collided with each other to produce dazzling sparks, and the sound of metal tears echoed with the angry roar in the valley. The seemingly fragile rifle took countless lives at the moment of breaking, and even the death knight’s body was deformed as a result.
More people immediately took out the melee weapons and began to grab and tore up. The thick **** smell spread quickly along the bladed and **** front.
Covering fear with murderous intentions is the motto of the Paladin battle. Even if they have just seen such powerful magic, even if they are faced with extremely powerful undead, the soldiers can still fight calmly.
The winged spider warriors had tall bodies and heavy carapace, but they were quickly spotted weaknesses. Many soldiers cut their fragile waists with spears that ignored their lives, and the undead spiders cut into two immediately. Lost the possibility of fighting, in the struggle was quickly chopped into immovable carrion.
The ghouls coming from behind had to use the flesh to withstand the rain of the arrow of the Silver Clouds. Although this time it was not a silver arrow, the loss was enough to frown the Lich a few miles away-just for In terms of vitality, fighting ghouls are far inferior to battle-dead death knights, not to mention that there is no magic shelter this time.
For the first time in two months, the death knights, who had never stopped their horseshoes, stopped their advance in front of the thorny wall of that sword. Although the number of paladins is far less than the death knights, many of the high-level knights who are also involved in the charge are not inferior to the paladins in terms of swordsmanship. With the help of magic weapons in their hands, they used powerful counterattacks against their opponents, as well as the flames that stung the eyes of the undead from time to time on the battlefield-Holy Light, the Knights of the Ice Crown once again tasted To the taste of death, and this time it will bring eternal sleep.
Although the charge stagnates under the explosive counterattack of human beings, there is still a situation where the steel defense line is shattered like a bamboo, covering the cold of the north to the fallen knights-when six silver paladins arrived At the time of support, dozens of corpses had been added near Roland and Alsace-both men and horses were separated.
It was a very familiar style of armor for Roland, but now they were no longer protecting himself, but the enemy standing opposite him. Maybe in the near future, I will not only see familiar armor on the blood-splattered battlefield, but also meet familiar people.
“Don’t stop in front of me, otherwise only death is waiting for you!” The Avengers warned the other side coldly, even though the other side responded with a sneer, but the death knight felt better-at least when killing the other side, he could be more Peace of mind.
If you really meet the teacher … you must concentrate on fighting based on “Yunyao”, and there must be no hesitation, otherwise it will be me! Roland told himself like this, and then let the body arrows shoot at the Paladins in general-he would use these guys to get himself into the state first.
It is not a state of concentration, but a state where you can swing your sword to your teacher and adoptive father.
The crowded Paladins used a split tactic to separate the two from each other, forming a three-to-one situation: the two were close to the front and the other cast Holy Light, which was the most efficient battle formation. But even so, they still couldn’t stop the opponent’s attack. Offense and defense are rapidly changing among the eight, blood spatters from time to time, and the burst of light is suppressed by the inexplicable darkness for an instant. The fierce battle soon ended, and when the last Paladin was cut off, the human line of defense finally began to fall back.
“Did you win?” On the dog-tooth battlefield, Roland grabbed the slack gap and looked around, but when his eyes fell on the gap in the wall repaired with megaliths and magic, he finally realized that the other party was backing away. s reason.
It is not a defeat, but it is not necessary to continue to consume here.
The neat and indestructible Phalanx of the Knights of the Sword confirmed Roland’s conjecture-despite the retreat, the violent impact of the death knight could not open any fatal gap.
Until all the soldiers withdrew from the fortress under the guard of the tall city walls, the undead army had not been able to grasp the rhythm of the battle. The only thing they could do was to watch the huge steel gate that fell suddenly through the dense arrow rain. .
“It just took so much time just to go under the city wall …” With the red still unscattered as the background, the sun gradually falling westward dragged a long shadow on the ground, and Roland’s expression sank uncontrollably. . Cruel dead bodies were everywhere on the battlefield. The Paladin succeeded in blocking the impact of the black tide, but it paid a price of more than 10,000. Among them, the number of Paladins killed in the battle reached nearly five. Hundreds.
“What about the casualties of our army?” Roland turned away, and Richard did not know when he had arrived on the battlefield.
“Basically similar, ghouls have died a lot, with tens of thousands, but the death toll of the Knights is only over 200.”
“Two hundred death knights! It’s just like this when fighting the Bailong clan ~!” Roland almost broke out at that moment because of the understatement of the opponent.
“The other party is the Holy Knight Knight. How can you win if you don’t fight with a sense of consciousness? Even someone who doesn’t know swordsmanship knows this.” Richard just shrugged his shoulders and made a spectator. The general rebuttal. “You’re too noisy, is it because of Uther’s relationship?” The Lich added another sentence after speaking the facts in an unemotional tone.
“How is that possible? I just don’t want to be blocked here … as you said,” Roland’s voice eased. “You have to take this fortress in one day, that’s all.”
“Don’t worry too much. We still have an absolute advantage in combat power. Because of the relationship between the meteorite and the war of attrition, the opponent now only has less than 70,000 defenders, and our number is 140,000, plus we can start. You are good at wheel-type attrition wars, and no one can compare with the tireless undead. “Richard’s mouth sneered.” As for the time limit … you know, the battlefield is always changing. “
The end of the melee did not bring even a moment of silence, and the undead set off a new round of offensive. Although the defense of the second city wall is relatively weak, the thickness of the gate is still three times that of the ordinary. With the steel gate that falls in an emergency, the strength is absolutely solid. However, for the undead, the towering walls are not an obstacle at all-the attack is not intended to destroy the gates-every place on the six-kilometer-long wall has become a Shura field intertwined with death and blood.
In order to maintain a stable structure and strength, the base of the wall is wider than the top. And just relying on the slight tilt angle, the undead can easily climb up.
Alliance soldiers pushed down a large number of logs from the top in an attempt to stop the Kuroshio invasion, but they were useless like stones thrown into the lake. The ghouls swarming up like waves of waves crashing against the wall. Seen from a distance, the wall proud of the Fire City Wall, covered by ghouls, looks like a tombstone with mold on its surface, which is disgusting and frightening.
The death knights now pulled their long bows in the rear. Under the guidance of the power far beyond human beings, the sharp arrow can easily penetrate any type of defense, whether it is a huge tower shield or a steel armor.
The Silver Cloud Corps was not silent. They and the Knights of the Frozen Crown suppressed each other’s positions, and a large number of arrows and arrows poured on the positions of both sides. The archers of the Paladin Knights relied on terrain advantages and wide field of vision to fight back, but as time passed, the battle between the two sides gradually opened the gap-unless dozens of silver arrows hit a death knight at the same time, even if The middle of the chest can not cause fatal damage to the burning soul, and any arrow fired by the undead is enough to make the human warrior fall forever.
From time to time, soldiers fell from the towering walls, and before the screams echoing in the valley disappeared, a group of ghouls at the bottom would tear him to pieces.
Human beings blocked the cold current that enveloped death with courage and blood, but once we stopped looking at the **** wound, the tireless cold would sweep again. When the last ray of sunshine melted away from the distant horizon, the Holy Knights had to replace the soldiers who were fighting on the wall with numbness. Until this time, humans did not find that the charge of the undead was not courageous-there was a one-meter path on each of their five-meter attack lines, which allowed the injured ghouls to retreat-this The discovery overshadowed the soldier’s face involuntarily.
Death couldn’t stop the pace of the undead, let alone darkness. There was no easing of the fighting at night, but instead it became more and more intense. A large number of torches mirror the bleak figure of the city wall, and the position of the undead is dark-the death knights have excellent night vision ability, and the ghouls have a sensitive sense of smell and hearing-the undead does not need any Potential supplementary combat. The Ghoul’s offense was as fierce and fierce as ever. These tireless undead brought hoarse roars to all parts of the city wall. With the decline of physical strength, the replacement of the defense force of the Knights of the Paladin became more frequent.
When the battle progressed to the white-hot stage, even a few squads of death knights rushed up in the dark, and the black mounts ran on the upright walls with human unimaginable power, fast and light. When the death knight on a horse jumped up to the head of the city, the defensive soldiers even screamed in surprise without getting out of his throat and his head was cut off.
The entire wall immediately became agitated, although the paladins and priests who arrived in time suppressed the other’s raid in a nearly crazy way-some knights even dragged the death knight to jump off the wall with disregard-but the breath of despair did indeed It has gradually spread.
Even elite warriors have begun to doubt the accuracy of their physical strength and time. Noisy and cold flooded the entire front, making warriors with precious rest unable to fall asleep. Although the mind is awake, the numb body does not listen. Do not dare to rest. And the people who are fighting are even worse, they have no time to take care of the companions around them whether they are dead or alive.
That was an unprecedented siege.
