Chapter 948 The War of Attrition of the Undead

Renn came out of the Dragon Valley and did not return to Gotham City directly, but teleported to the area north of Gotham City with Bolchi.

"Boss, what are we doing here?"

Bolchi couldn't help but feel a little strange when he looked at the desolate land around him.

"Do you know where this is?" Renn asked with a smile. Seeing Bolch shook his head in confusion, he continued: "In the Third Age, the Elf Empire was one of the largest cities on the New World, and it was the most famous city of magic research. It has many magic academies and countless towers."

"Not seen at all." Bolchi had heard of Lopost, but wherever he saw, there was no trace of life under the dim sky, like a dead land.

This place is far beyond the illumination range of the magic torch light, and is more than 500 miles away from Gotham City.

The air is filled with the power of death.

Looking into the distance, you can see some undead creatures wandering on the earth. They are only a few, and countless undead armies are hidden under the ground.

Lopost is located on the east coast of the New World. Continue to the northeast for hundreds of miles, it is the Revenge Island of the Blood Elves. When it goes northwest, it enters the Kanod Icefield thousands of miles northwest. The number of undead creatures will increase and be completely ruled by the Death Lord, and is a forbidden area for living people.

"Lopost will be the next city to be restored. Today is just the way. I'll check around first." Rennes said while scanning the sky.

"Boss, I'll take you to fly around for a few times." Bolchi said attentively.

"good."

Renn nodded, "Low down and don't disturb the dead people buried underground."

Just as Bolchi was about to show his true form of a three-headed golden dragon, he quickly changed his mind and turned into a tall and handsome golden-scale horse.

Its body is covered with golden scales, its red mane is like burning flames, and a pair of wide flaming wings are born on both ribs, dragging a dazzling long ponytail. The horse's head and eyes are as dark as ink, emitting a wisp of mist-like shadow energy.

Although the golden scaled sky horse restrains the dragon's power, its gorgeous and dazzling appearance will no one treat it as an ordinary war horse.

Renn straddled the horse.

"Boss, sit firmly." Bolchi flapped the flame wings several meters wide, turning into a three-color stream of light and galloping in the sky, fast and steady.

After a moment.

The golden scaled Tianma flew twice on the ruins of Lopost. Rennes had already learned a lot about the situation of the city and had a good view of the situation outside the ruins.

The number of undead is expected to be more than one million.

There are more than a dozen large undead tombs alone, and each tomb has several legendary undead spirits. There is also an Apocalypse Knight in the largest tomb. It should have been sent by the Death Lord to this area to command the army of millions of undead spirits and lead a black soul knight order.

If there was only one Apocalypse Knight, it would be no reason. Sooner or later, this army of millions of undead will be converted into its own power.

Alotticia is still integrating the Gamalan Plain and truly marching into the Frog Basin. It is estimated that it will take one or two years to wait.

Without demon war, there is no power.

Just in time, these undead can be used as a supplement to the transition period and must be harvested. In addition to the bone frame, the corpses of the undead can also be sent to the Black Soul Valley to plant mushrooms.

Renn had a clear idea and ordered:

"Fly towards Gotham City."

The golden scaled horse immediately turned south and flew along the east coast. Rennes rode on its back and looked down at the earth, and saw through the ground with all eyes and recorded the distribution of the undead tombs underground. When he flew to Gotham City, he was already well aware of the situation of the undead army.

Entering the magic torch light, Renn immediately teleported back to the Highland Fortress with his men and horses.

Looking at the bustling city, the sky was clear, and it was completely different from Lopost, Bolchi suddenly became interested and asked for instructions: "Boss, can I go to the city for a walk?"

"Go, don't cause me trouble," Rennes reminded.

"Absolutely not!"

With Renne's permission, Bolch ran out of the Highland Fortress and disappeared among the tall buildings in Gotham City.

Rennes couldn't help but shake his head.

This guy had just been promoted to Ancient Dragon and was still swearing in the Dragon Valley that he wanted to practice hard, but he couldn't hold back when he arrived at Gotham City. But there was nothing to worry about. The whole city was under its own surveillance. If Bolchi dared to do anything randomly, he could be honest with him with just one thought.

After sitting in the study for a while, Francas came in.

"You inform the ministers and go to the town hall for a meeting tomorrow morning." Rennes ordered.

"OK."

Frangasca wrote it down and asked, "What is the content of this meeting?"

"Lopost." Renn looked at the document without even lifting his head.

"Will this be too fast?"

Frangasca was startled when he heard this and expressed his opinion carefully: "Rolly City has just been built for a few months. Only a few infrastructure has been built in the entire city, and only a few main roads have been built on the road, with a total of only tens of thousands of people. It will take at least two or three years to build a decent city."

“Aisinger has just gotten on track.”

"There are seven smaller cities, which are also under development."

"Ren, you just approved the plan to build railways and highways, and you're using money everywhere. You can barely maintain financially, but we're short of people."

"I'm afraid there's not enough manpower."

Renn looked up and waited patiently for her to finish her words. Then he said, "I just came back from Lopost and found out the situation of the undead army. Anyway, I have to fight sooner or later, so it's better to start early. You don't have to worry about finances, as for manpower..."

He paused, "I'll find a way."

"Lopost is not a small city, with a large area and a fertile land. I think many people should be interested in it. To increase some treatment, we will definitely recruit people from the empire. In short, you will prepare everyone and will not affect the construction of Aisinger and Raleigh City."

Seeing that Renne had made up his mind, Frangasca stopped persuading him and nodded, "Okay."

Then she exited the study.

Renn pondered for a few moments. The reason why he was so anxious to attack Lopost was to harvest electricity, and the second was to Oroan's elves.

The last time the Phoenix King sent an envoy to ask for Lopost, he was decisively rejected.

Although there was no news after that, and the great master Modante never came again, it can be seen that his guess was correct. The Phoenix King was not interested in opening up a new continent, but the Phoenix King could not represent the will of the entire Oroan.

The top ten elves kingdoms of Oroan are not monolithic.

Even the political struggle between elves is more complex and cruel than that of humans.

If any elves kingdom, faction or big man is unwilling to watch the New World fall into the hands of mankind, bypass the Phoenix King, and directly send elves to land on the New World, it will be troublesome.

Just in case of long nights of dreams, you must take the lead in taking Lopost into your own hands.

In this way, more than 80% of the east coast of the New World are under their control. Apart from Revenge Island and the Sunshine Island in the southeast, Oroan's elves have no choice. Unless the elves have the ability to enter the Karnod Icefield, or airborne the hinterland of the New World to attack the territory of the Netifo demon.

If the elves had such strong strength, they would not have not counterattacked the New World for more than two thousand years.

the next day.

Rennes successfully held a municipal meeting.

No one raised objections at the meeting, and all supported Rennes's idea. Rennes was not surprised by this. He only informed them of the meeting, unify their thoughts and prepare for logistics, rather than really wanting to seek their opinions.

Gotham City has the final say alone. If anyone dares to object, then don’t do it.

On the third day, the Extreme Team, the Duke Guard and the Holy Spear Knights were dispatched, but only a part of the army was sent to the north to go out of the range of the Magic Torch Light and fight against the undead army.

Renn's plan is to use the Duke Guard as the main offensive force to train practical experience, with the Holy Spear Knights as the auxiliary to deal with the Dead Black Soul Knights. The Extreme Team is in the rear to prevent the Death Lord from leading the army into the battlefield.

The Star Destroyer hides invisibly above the altitude and is just a platform for transporting the army.

The army steadily advanced northward.

Even though the undead army was all dead without emotion, under the strong firepower of the Duke Guard, the ruthless will was useless. The undead rushed up in waves, turning into pieces in a blink of an eye, unable to shake the Duke Guard's front at all.

Every day, the Duke Guard and the Knights of the Holy Lark can advance more than ten miles, approaching Polost step by step.

At this speed, the army of Gotham City could reach the ruins of Lopost in just one month, clear out a clearing of open space, and start building a tower.

Rennes watched the battle himself on the bridge.

As the war entered the seventh day, the number of the undead army suddenly increased.

The pressure faced by the Duke Guard soared several times, and countless undead attacked from the west and north directions. The dark army could not see the end. They used their bodies to consume the Duke Guard's ammunition and forced the army to stop.

The dead bodies piled up like mountains in the wilderness, laying a line of debris that was several miles long and thousands of miles wide.

Further behind, tireless undead dug out trenches, and the enemy has learned how to avoid the firepower of the Duke Guard and reduce the damage.

Renn looked into the direction of the Karnod Icefield, and did not find the Death Lord, and even the Apocalypse Knight did not appear.

There is only an endless army of undead.

"He is ready to fight the war of attrition." Renne laughed.

The intention of the Death Lord is very obvious, and it is also correct in terms of tactical direction. The biggest advantage of the undead is its number. It floods the enemy with a large army of ten times and a hundred times, making people desperate. Even if it is a one-to-one death exchange, the undead will make money.

The Duke Guards have very strong firepower, but their battles require ammunition to consume.

Ammunition is not infinite.

But the army of undead is infinite, especially the Death Lord obtained the artifact "Book of the Dead", and he can summon the undead from the abyss and underworld every day. His troops are endless, and no matter how much he dies, he doesn't feel sorry for him. Anyway, he can afford it.

Unless you have a spell that can eliminate middle and low-level undeads on a large scale like the magic torch light, and can also distinguish between enemies and us, the undead army's human sea tactics are unsolvable.

The Death Lord does not have to come forward in person, nor does he have to send out elite troops.

On the bridge.
