Scene 162 The Defensive Battle of Yunfeng City (1)
Member Butt frowned and said, "Speaker, do you mean to defeat the White Earl's army first? However, from today's situation, this unit has very strong mobility, and it may not be easy to capture them. In addition, it is afraid that those low-level mistresses will have no effect on them, but if the elite troops are dispatched...will the losses be too great..."
Gruth said: "No matter how huge the price we pay, we must take down Yunfeng City. This is something we have decided before, right? It is essential to repair the things in the treasure house of Yunfeng City, the portal of the undead! Besides, if we give up this time, can we take down Yunfeng City in the future? Don't forget that according to Cred, the White Earl fell on the Hell Valley, and his strength will only be stronger in the future! Now he is not firmly in his foothold and is far from his own sphere of influence. This is the best chance to defeat him!"
The members of the parliament discussed it and thought Gruth was right. Now that the sudden appearance of the White Earl has not yet established a stable foothold, the number of troops will definitely be limited. If time really delays for a long time, he will transfer more troops from the other side of the Endless Sea and then want to destroy him, the losses will definitely be greater!
When the undead portal was destroyed, even the Spiritual Holy Tower, known as the Sea of Skeletons, felt that the troops were insufficient. To be honest, once the huge number of low-level undead spirits were gone, they had been fighting against the seven southern kingdoms of mankind with one force, and the Spiritual Holy Tower in Duze, the Northern Duze is actually the weakest among the three undead forces!
"Then start the vote whether to place White Earl's army as a priority target for annihilation."
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
...
"Very good, then the proposal is passed unanimously!" Gruth nodded and continued, "Then the next one is my combat plan."
………………………………
The horns were heard on the towering watchtower in Yunfeng City, and the messengers rushed quickly along the barracks' road, shouting loudly while knocking on the horn iron.
"The undead is coming! The undead is coming!"
In addition to the main camp of Yunfeng City, there are rooms behind each section of the city wall for soldiers to rest temporarily. Once there is a danger, they can run towards the city wall as fast as possible.
Shirne, who was in charge of the rotation, was now resting in such a room.
Hearing the sound of the alarm, Hierne rushed out immediately, adjusting the elasticity of his wrist guards, and grabbed a soldier running towards the inner city. He was wearing a striking red hood and a long tail feather of a white geese on his helmet, which meant that he was a messenger, who was specifically responsible for passing letters.
"How many undead came this time? How could you be scared like this?"
The captured guards were about to scold him, but they saw the emblem of the Kadean family on Hierne, and then swallowed the words they said - now the Kadean family is a celebrity around the emperor, and they cannot offend them no matter what.
"A lot... There are so many undeads this time! You can tell if you go and take a look. I'll go back and report it!"
As soon as Shirne loosened his hand, the soldiers ran away.
At this time, Croto had already put on his equipment, walked up to look at the soldier's back and said, "It seems that the undead will be really going to move this time. It will be hard to endure the messenger who sees the skeleton sea every day."
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere!"
Hierne seemed to be answering Croto, but he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Let's go, let's go up to the city wall."
When he came up to the city wall with the guards, Shirne realized that this time was really different from before. Every soldier's face was tense. Someone tripped flat because of nervousness. The stones he transported fell to the ground and his forehead was broken. But he didn't care about the wound at all. He wiped it with his hand and quickly picked up the stones and continued walking.
When I came to the female wall and looked into the distance, the vast army of undead covered the earth, and the whole sight was covered with grayish white.
“This quantity…”
Even Shirne, who had firm belief, couldn't help but sweat. Such a huge undead legion could not even block the first wave of attacks if he had to replace it with an ordinary castle.
"It's foggy!?"
Someone exclaimed, and then everyone found a thick fog rising from the direction of the undead army. The fog spread very quickly, and it would probably take less than twenty minutes to spread to the city wall.
The sudden appearance caused a commotion to the defenders of Yunfeng City, and everyone began to feel frightened and uneasy - everyone understood what the Necromancer's best trick was, besides summoning various bones, aren't there any endless epidemic viruses emerging?
The appearance of thick fog made the magicians of Yunfeng City immediately busy. One magic circle after another activated, blocking the thick fog about a mile in front of the city wall.
The mages did not feel the existence of the disease from the thick fog, but in order to calm the soldiers' emotions, they still had to maintain the operation of the magic circle. After all, no one knew whether the necromancers would first flick a shot and then replace them with the real fog of the disease.
The undead army covered by thick fog could no longer be observed. Shirne looked for a while and found that he could not see anything, so he went to inspect the city defense.
When he walked to a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy with a tender face and a wide-blade sword that was disproportionate to his figure, Shirne stopped in surprise.
"Child, who are you and why are you here?"
The boy put down the sword in his hand, looked up at Hierne and said, "I am Brick Kareda, the son of Vilo Kareda. My father died the day before yesterday, and I am here to replace him."
At this time, Hierne remembered that just four days ago, Yunfeng City announced a conscription order. No matter how high or low a person is or how old or old it is, every household must have one person to guard the city.
Although such orders inevitably collect a large number of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who cannot go to the battlefield at all, these people are generally arranged in logistics auxiliary positions, such as moving something to deliver meals or letters.
But now this twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is standing on the city wall!
Shirne stood up angrily and said angrily: "We Black Thorn Castle reinforcements are not dead yet! How can we let such a young child go to the battlefield? Follow me and I will take you to find the officers here!"
Unexpectedly, Brick broke free from Shirne's hand and said stubbornly: "I asked for it on my own initiative! My father is dead. If I can't earn any military achievements, I will be sad only by relying on my mother's soybean to wash clothes in the future."
Shirne sighed, touched Brick's head, and inexplicably remembered the country that Bai Gang mentioned to her, a pure land of peace and no war. I really want to go there to see...
Unraveling the spare sword and handing it to the boy, Shirne said, "Use this, it's just right for your strength to use this."
Unexpectedly, the boy shook his head and said, "My father said that if a man is a man, he must use a heavy sword. This is my father's sword! I must use this sword!"
