Chapter 0457 Siege
The undead is really here!
And the first person who led the team was the Blood Demon who had lived in Rasmulfier City for a period of time.
As the main force of this attack, nearly 700 junior vampires transformed into dark elves' nightmare god of death, completely obscuring their reconnaissance and temptations outside the city, and turning all the guys who dared to slip out of the city into shriveled corpses.
Using the vampire's quick movement ability, they not only blocked the upper city entrance, but also took a detour to cut off the lower city entrance, turning Rasmufir City into an isolated city.
Just two days after the vampire team completed the scheduled mission, the follow-up troops of the entire cemetery arrived late.
When a large number of lickers and ghosts swarmed out of the tunnel, the vampire's obscurity surveillance mission was handed over to them, and the vampires scattered everywhere gathered again to follow their leader, Blood Demon.
Due to the narrowness of the region, those undead knights who are good at charging into the wide-area space have not appeared. Following behind the massive cannon fodder lickers are slow-moving corpse witches and terrifying undeads who are protecting them with the team.
The command center of the cemetery is set up in a dissolution hall 300 meters away from the main gate of Rasmulfier City. The terrain is open and close to the city gate. As long as some stalagmites, stone pillars, and dripping rocks are broken and removed, it will be a natural campsite.
The meeting host is of course Li Xun, the lord of the cemetery. Those who can attend this high-level pre-war meeting were the old cemetery heroes Gou Nu, Blood Demon, newly joined Dragon Lich Uzel and Dogosus, as well as the representatives of the undead mercenary, the bone skeleton wizard, and the soul-bound demon Karen.
In addition, the blood magic half-hero Hera, the leader of the Undercity Mage Group, Jacob, the corpse witch, and Deloris, the banshee leader...
At the beginning of the meeting, under the joint casting of ten corpse witches, a vivid equal-scale light and shadow illusion in the center of the venue was outlined, and the three-dimensional structure diagram of Zhuoer City not far away was presented at the center of the light and shadow.
In the past two years, although the Underworld seems to have not moved at all, the shadow killers who can spread all the surrounding areas have explored the shallow surface terrain of the entire dark area and drew a detailed three-dimensional topographic map. Although due to geological changes, in some parts, the entire topographic map cannot fully mark all the secret passages, tunnels, and caves, the general terrain information is still reliable.
As the closest foreign gathering place to Undercity, Rasmulfier City has penetrated and monitored it to an omnipresent level.
From this full picture of Rasmulfier City presented in front of you, we can see that except for the fact that the internal situation of the Drow family's resident and training warriors, sacrifices, and mages of the academy are not very clear, other information can be seen at a glance.
From the distribution of the garrisons of several top major families in the city, as well as the hoarding areas of Zhuoer's main forces, the living areas of enslaved races in the city, to some garrison sites that may cause obstacles to the subsequent massacre, small passes, and areas with the most tight city defense...
The person in charge of the detailed introduction was Jacob, the new leader of the Undercity Mage Corps. Every time he introduced an area, the area would be lit up in the topographic map and zoomed in. After listening to his basic description of the city defense of Zhuoer City, the senior cemetery present could not help but feel dark in his heart, and the many contempts he had originally despised the dark elves.
If we rely solely on normal offensive and defensive battles, this marginal small city that cannot be ranked in Zhuoer City is still a strong city fortress that foreign races cannot easily overcome.
As an underground city, there is no so-called sky here, so the numerous bat demon cavalry in the cemetery are purely a decoration. If you want to invade the city, you must use a large amount of cannon fodder to hit the enemy's heavily guarded stone wall. The most uncomfortable thing is that the underground city will not be like the surface city. As long as you break a city gate, there will be an unguarded inner city behind it.
The gate passage of the underground city is entirely composed of winding tunnels and corridors. On both sides of these passages, at the corners of the stone walls, the tops, and other places where the sight is out of reach, are full of hidden shooting outlets. Cannon fodders who want to attack the city cannot charge here, and they also have to withstand the crossbows that are not known where to come from. Once the number of deaths is too large, the bodies of the enemy after the death of the enemy will become the biggest obstacle to the enemy's next attack.
Zhuoer's city gate is a death passage composed of five fine gold gates. All city defense facilities are hard to be cut out from the stone wall, and they are not afraid of fire, smoke, poison gas and other means. There is also a fire spitting mouth between the gate and the gate, which is not afraid of the enemy's oil-filled attack. At critical moments, it can cut off the enemy's attack rhythm and delay the enemy's attack speed.
However, what makes the undead the most headache is that the popularity of magic weapons in the Zoer team is too high. In addition to powerful magic equipment, magic scrolls, fine gold weapons, enchanting weapons, alchemy potions and other war auxiliary supplies are essential to all members, which gives them the possibility of efficiently killing high-level undeads.
Even if a cemetery creature as high as 6th level is trapped in the passage, it can be destroyed by the Drow warrior's golden crossbow arrows and the demon-breaking crossbow arrows, not to mention the Drow priests who supervised the battle, the priests who possessed the magical art of defeating the undead.
After listening to Jacques' introduction, all the high-rise buildings in the cemetery became a little ugly.
Today they gathered here to participate in a feast. They did not use their heads to hit underground rock formations known as steel, nor did they use their bodies to test the quality of their weapons. Just from the strictness of the defense of Zhuoer City, they may not be able to open a channel to the interior with the power of cannon fodder before they consumed their combat equipment resources.
In this case, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the early consumption based on the licker alone.
So everyone couldn't help but glance at the Goblin and the Banshee leader Deloris. As for the major races in the field, there were only two of them suitable for this small-scale battle with narrow terrain.
At this time, the two women had no reason to retreat and refuse. They could only stand up and take the initiative to ask for orders to open a passage for the cemetery army.
Li Xun agreed with mercy.
...
The war broke out half a quarter of an hour later at the same time at the three gates of Rasmulfir City.
The licker who climbed like a tide like a tide was like a surging maggot, almost suddenly occupying all the areas on the front of the city gate.
Even on the most rugged and bumpy rock walls of the tunnel, the licker can jump freely. The sharp claws on the limbs rubbed dazzling sparks on the dark and dark rock walls, interspersed between the city defense facilities with the agility and flexibility that normal creatures cannot have.
All the narrow shooting ports located on the front of the city gate, which were only the size of a punch, heard the sound of a sturdy bowstring, and nearly a hundred golden crossbow arrows sprinkled head-on like raindrops. The first wave of lickers immediately shocked nearly 40 bodies, and the bounce and crossing movement was a little distorted and deformed, and only 17 were killed by the fragile brain hit on the spot.
Although the Zhale warrior has excellent shooting skills, the shooting world is limited, and the "ghost" on the opposite side has a fast figure far beyond the legend, so nearly half of the crossbow arrows fell into vain in the first wave. As long as those hits are not fatal with one blow, they will almost never have much impact on the undead creatures like the Licker.
The short time when the enemy replaced the crossbow arrows, a larger number of lickers rushed up. But to the surprise of the commander of the undead, Zhuoer's second wave of crossbow arrows only exploded again after three fingers.
This time, due to the closer distance, the hit rate quickly reached 70%. More than 30 lickers lost control and pulled a dark blood mark on the hard stone floor.
There was no tragic hissing or wailing. The only thing in the field was the sound of the sturdy bowstrings and the muffled sound of the flesh.
The undead creatures are fearless and do not care about the influence of morale, and are fully displayed in this battle.
Those lickers who luckily rushed through the blockade line and approached the fire protection port of the city did not know how to drill into the maze-like tunnel, nor did they attempt to hit the steel gate that was one meter thick and gold-coated. Instead, they directly used their bodies to block the shooting ports everywhere in the city gate.
The fist-sized breakouts could not allow them to penetrate, so they roared and touched them with their sharp claws, or popped out sharp tongues with great kinetic energy, and pierced them desperately. The whole process did not avoid the continuous crossbow arrows that were constantly shooting out from the inside.
With their cover, the lickers who subsequently rush into the tunnel could rush straight into the thick steel gate that made people desperate.
With the continuous "crashing" sound, hidden shooting ports in various parts of the tunnel were also opened one after another. Crossbow arrows shot at close range often penetrated the fragile bodies of multiple lickers. A whispered spell chanting sound near the city gate was heard in the shooting port that opened on the top wall, and then a fireball technique exploded between the lickers that were congested in front of the steel gate.
Compared with the fine gold crossbow arrow, magic is obviously a powerful weapon on the battlefield. Such an extremely simple fireball technique actually instantly brought 14 lickers into the rising flames.
At this time, the Drow warriors who could not control themselves took out the spell scrolls they issued and used the power of magic to instantly clear the ugly undead near their shooting ports.
For a moment, the entire city gate area was filled with harsh explosions and dazzling red lights.
In less than half an hour, nearly half of the lickers who flocked to the city's fire prevention range were strangled, and the rest were covered with scars. Except for some of the unlucky people who suffered minor injuries, Zhuoer was almost unscathed.
If this situation of being depressed, the situation where you cannot defeat the enemy but can only be beaten is subject to a human army, it will inevitably lead to a severe downturn in morale and unstable morale. After all, what inspires an army to fight bravely is the victory and rewards that can be expected, rather than the fearless spirit of going to die with slacking off.
However, this setback was ineffective on the cemetery army. Almost at the same time as the first group of lickers suffered large-scale injuries, the second group of lickers had already flocked to them. They flexibly jumped, passed through the blockade of crossbow arrows, passed through the magic flames that had not yet been extinguished, and rushed into the flesh-and-blood tunnel full of rich and pungent aura again.
