lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Magician Ryan!
The long "beep" sound of the horn floated above the Iron Fist Castle. Tens of thousands of warriors shook hands with their weapons, staring at the undead creatures that flooded under the city like a tide. Their hearts were firm, they Peace of mind, because behind these Cassano fighters is their home, their family lives here, "Immortality! Never retreat!" This is the only thought in the minds of these Cassano fighters.
About 10 days ago, the Cassano scout troops stationed on the west side of the Valen Mountains found signs of the Undead Legion. When the news reached the Iron Fist Castle, Adela, the highest military commander staying here, immediately issued an order. , Began to mobilize the line of fire. On the one hand, she organized troops to snipe the invasion of the undead, and on the other hand, she moved a large number of civilians to safety. All of this has been planned in detail for a long time, so there are not too many major problems in the implementation. After paying some price, Adela led 100,000 Cassano soldiers and civilians to defend the Iron Fist Castle, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial capital. .
In the original plan, only 60,000 people would guard the Iron Fist Castle, 30,000 regular Cassano fighters, and 30,000 strong Cassano youths. But to everyone’s surprise, when the news of the undead invasion came, many Cassanos spontaneously took up weapons and joined the ranks of resisting the invaders. Many of them have just joined Cassano not long ago. The new residents, under the effect of the decree issued by Ryan, they have successfully acquired new identities and are full of visions for a better life in the future, so when someone wants to invade here and destroy their lives, these People bravely took up weapons and chose to resist to the death.
Of course, the real reason for supporting these people in fighting bravely is still the lord of Cassano, the youngest curse mage in human history, Ryan, the guy with good deeds has counted all the achievements of Ryan since he took over Cassano. , Found that he had never failed. No matter how many powerful enemies there are in front of this young legendary mage, they will eventually be annihilated in the rolling flames under his hands. This glorious miracle inspires everyone to fight because They are convinced that no matter how dangerous the situation is, as long as Ryan comes back, everything will be over.
"The soldiers of the Guards are ready to block these **** bones." Cassano's top military commander, Adela, standing on the castle of Iron Fist Castle, in a uniform, gave orders aloud.
"Huh!" There was a uniform movement on the city wall, which was indescribably pleasing to the eyes. The soldiers of the Cassano Guards who were ordered to guard the front line were carefully selected and strictly trained. Yes, and they have been tested by blood and fire many times. Now their combat experience is very rich. Although their bodies are abnormally exhausted, after hearing the command of the commander, these steadfast fighters can still raise their hands neatly. The shields formed a strong shield wall to block the climb of the undead warriors under the city.
The attack of the undead army is completely different from the attack of any human army. They have no logistics supplies, and do not need all kinds of siege equipment. For these moving bones, they are themselves The best tool to use. When the undead army began to attack Cassano’s Iron Fist Castle on the first day, they had no way to cross the sky full of fire oil and boulders close to the city wall. They arrived under the city wall in the morning of the third day, and today , That is, after besieging the Iron Fist Castle for six consecutive days, the undead warriors who died under the Iron Fist Castle have used their bodies to pile up a thick flash of bones. The undead warriors who continue to attack only need to follow the "predecessors". The bones of him can easily rush to the head of the city.
Adela looked at the boundless "Sea of Bones" and couldn't help sighing in her heart. They still underestimated the power of these bones before, thinking that the reserves of three times the amount of kerosene and boulders were enough , I didn't expect that in the defensive battle of strong overload, it only took two short days. Fortunately, Adela adopted the rotation system of soldiers. In addition to leaving the 10,000 reserve team, the remaining 90,000 people were divided into three groups. One group was defensive wall, the other group was healed and recovered, and the other group rested and stood by under the wall. , And rotate once a day. However, by the fourth day of the implementation of this rotation system, it had become two exchanges a day. Starting this morning, Adela had to make adjustments again, adding the remaining 50,000 fighters to the reserve team. For 2 groups, to cope with the manpower shortage due to the huge loss of soldiers.
Adela thought about the current unfavorable situation in her heart, but she did not show any signs on the surface. Seeing that a large number of undead warriors had rushed up the "Bone Avenue", she shouted: "Yes In this way, the hammer warriors, strike out and crush these bastards!"
"Kill!" The sound of one after another resounded throughout the Iron Fist Castle. The strong men with huge hammers hiding behind the shield wall of the Guards soldiers raised their weapons and moved towards the undead who rushed up. The warrior smashed the past, and the appearance of these hammers was different. Many of them were just a large piece of iron tied to a thick wooden stick with a rope. But such a simple and crude weapon is very useful to undead warriors. It is effective, often with such a hammer, a bone warrior will be smashed to pieces and completely lose combat effectiveness. It is much more effective than cutting off their hands and feet with a sharp sword, or shooting arrows into their bodies.
Among these warriors with huge hammers, there are several dwarves and hundreds of meters of orcs. Their power is much greater than their human comrades. Not only does the weapons in their hands appear to be heavier, they are often so simple. He smashed it up and smashed it over, directly smashing several undead warriors in front of him to their limbs and flying everywhere, immediately alleviating the pressure on his comrades.
These dwarves were craftsmen brought by the dwarf king Reynolds. They were only helping Cassano to forge weapons, but when the undead army arrived, these dwarves all took up their weapons and stepped onto the warriors. As for the orcs, they are more like a fish in water, because for these green-skinned creatures, their life is only battle and honor. After naturalizing Cassano, they desperately think that they can no longer be like a warrior. The fighting continued like that. I didn’t expect that it didn’t take long before the Undead Army launched the battle to invade Cassano. This made the hearts of these orcs excited, and naturally they did not hesitate to pick up all kinds of weapons they could find. To the enemy.
The battle situation is so monotonous. The soldiers of the Guards first blocked the attack of the undead with their shields, and then comrades holding heavy weapons behind them smashed the undeads, followed by the second wave of offensive, the third wave of offensive... these The undead were originally a product of crude manufacture. The lich who made them summoned all the dead creatures buried in the ground along the way with undead magic. It was originally intended to take advantage of their numbers. Of course, it is impossible to use them like the three druid masters. A series of secret rituals are corrupted and degenerated, so these undead warriors are far less powerful than when they were alive. They have no weapons or only the simplest bone weapons in their hands. Of course, it is difficult to cause too much threat to Cassano’s defenders. NS.
But this does not mean that this large number of undead invaders are not lethal. Their number is too large. During the six days of attacking Iron Fist Castle, at least more than 15 million undead creatures were killed by their lich The owner was sent to the battlefield, and in the end almost all was destroyed under the walls of Iron Fist Castle, otherwise there would be no bone hills piled up there.
The most direct consequence of such a large number of dead souls is that the fatigue of Cassano's defenders has risen sharply. A strong warrior will never feel uncomfortable when he lifts the hammer once and smashes it down. However, when he swings it 100 times in a row, he naturally feels the exhaustion of his physical strength. If he swings it continuously for 1,000 times. , 10,000 times... Then the toughest fighter will feel tired and hungry. If there is a mistake in these 1,000 or 10,000 swings, you will accidentally be harmed by undead creatures, even if it’s just one. Small wounds will also double his energy loss. Eventually, he will lose his combat effectiveness due to exhaustion. He can only be slaughtered by the enemy. This is the history of countless famous elite troops fighting for all disadvantages, but in the end The only reason they were swallowed up by the undead army invaded by the same time was that they were not killed, but were exhausted in despair.
Now Adela is also facing such a dilemma. She has only 60,000 soldiers left with 100,000 soldiers, but there is no news of reinforcements from the Imperial Capital. Last night, when she and Vivian took turns on duty. , I was too tired to fall asleep. I heard a lot of bad rumors when I was patrolling the city, especially that the Iron Fist Castle had been besieged for 6 days, but Cassano’s overlord Ryan never showed up, which has gone a lot. The Cassano people who chose to stay were shaken. If it hadn't been for the undead who had surrounded the entire city, and they knew that once the undead entered the city, it would be a dead end, perhaps the riot had already occurred.
Arad was thinking about countermeasures in his heart anxiously, but his eyes were carefully observing the signs of undead positions in the distance. According to human records over the years and observations during this period, Adela can already be certain of the general pattern of the Undead Legion. The undead creatures that are summoned are naturally controlled by the lich that directly summons them. Each lich With different mana powers, the number of armies you can control is different, and every time the Undead Legion attacks Iron Fist Castle, only one Lich is responsible for the attack. When the Lich’s forces are exhausted, Only then was another lich led the team to make up, and this short free time was also a rare rest time for Cassano's defenders.
It’s not that Adela never thought of leading an elite force to raid the lich in charge of commanding. 200 years ago, Fernando I used this method to successfully defeat the undead army at that time, but now the witches outside the Iron Fist Castle There will be all kinds of guards around the demon, some are huge monsters assembled, some are pale men in tuxedos, and some liches come up and simply center on themselves. There are overlapping white bone traps under a hundred meters of cloth.
(Thank you very much for your support. I was overwhelmed by a large number of gifts when I was on QQ today. I am more "miserable" than Adela o(n_n)o haha, but I am much happier than her. I wish I had More gifts. Well, everyone remember to continue next year, but it must be another new book by then. I hope everyone will like it, and I hope everyone can continue to support me.)
