Heart of Empire Chapter 548: War Song Dilemma (2 in 1)
Since entering Broken Dragon Peak and entering the central mountain range, Chief Grom's Warsong tribe has always been the vanguard of Dane's army.
This powerful orc army performed very well in the previous eradication of the undead army that besieged Emhar. Moreover, Dane's legion itself is in an offensive situation, and the vanguard army is fighting fiercely and aggressively, which is not a bad thing.
This time, however, Grom was a little off.
When he was advancing ahead, he found a small army of undead, about a thousand people. Originally, this was nothing. On the marching route, when getting closer and closer to the Green Dragon Mountain, it is indeed easy to encounter some small groups of undead troops.
He led the army to catch up directly.
It wasn't a big deal at first, the undead army was defeated by Grom's team very smoothly.
Grom then gave chase.
It's not a big deal to pursue a proper pursuit and expand the results of the battle.
But the problem is that this time, Grom chased a little deeper.
Therefore, the problem arises.
From the looks of it now, this is a tactic used by the enemy to lure the enemy deeper. After Grom led more than 5,000 orc warriors to catch up, he was blocked by superior forces. And when he wanted to retreat, a small group of undead troops copied their back route from the complicated mountain roads, blocking the orc troops.
The mage accompanying the army passed the news back. Now, Grom's troops are in a mountain depression, facing fierce attacks from demons from three directions. The enemy's momentum is very fierce, and casualties are not counted. It is obvious that they want to eliminate Grom's troops as soon as possible.
Now it is meaningless to investigate whether Grom's pursuit was blind, reckless, or wrong. The key is what to do next.
Saving must be saved.
Dain asked: "Which team is the closest to Grom's besieged army?"
Verina quickly replied: "It's another part of the army of the Warsong tribe. The three regiments are all nearby. In addition, Colonel Pearl's team of the Cormyr sub-corps is also nearby, and there is another Zhuo Seoul United."
Dyne thought about it and said, "Let Pearl lead the drow team to open the siege of the undead as soon as possible to meet Grom's troops. At the same time, let the other troops of the Warsong Legion seal off the surrounding area of the mountain to prevent those undead There will be a bigger ambush circle."
"In addition, let the three regiments of the Fifth Army on the left press forward and press to the southwest of the col for control, and let the 20th, 21st, and 22nd regiments of the White Wolf Army on the left go to the northeast of the col I want to make sure that the army will not encounter enemies from both wings on the way forward."
"The air unit cancels all rest and reorganization, enters a state of combat readiness, conducts flight reconnaissance with the largest number of rounds, and must try its best to find out the movements of the surrounding undead. If you encounter the enemy's air force, don't stay behind and wipe them all out!"
"Order the whole army to move forward! I feel that the war will break out completely without waiting for us to reach Green Dragon Mountain."
The war broke out completely, and this incident was always Dane's premonition, without any real evidence. However, he felt that his premonition was not groundless.
Obviously, it was impossible for him to abandon Grom's army who was besieged in that mountain depression. Five thousand elite orc warriors, plus a legendary orc chieftain, this is something he can't give up no matter what.
As for the undead, they finally seized such a good opportunity, so naturally they were unwilling to give up.
Of course, it is still unknown what strategic choice the undead will make after being pressured by the human army. However, as the commander in chief of the army, Dane must of course prepare for the worst.
The worst scenario is that Grom's siege will become the trigger for the final battle.
For this reason, he must be prepared for a decisive battle.
Actually, Dane is now in contact with the Green Dragon in Green Dragon Mountain.
Some time ago, an adult green dragon of level 16 broke out of the siege and came to Dane's army with serious injuries all over his body.
After he was healed by the priests with holy spells, Dane met him immediately, and learned about the current battle situation in Green Dragon Mountain from his mouth.
Since two years ago, the green dragons have been fighting those monsters in the dark forest.
At the beginning, they noticed the deterioration of Nancy's royal court. At that time, Ignier had personally gone to the royal city to warn Nancy's elf king. But in the end, they still failed to stop the spread of the undead.
Later, after the entire dark forest collapsed, the green dragons who had been hiding from the world for many years finally couldn't sit still.
Two or three years ago, Ignir had his eldest son, Kapnos, who had reached the legendary level, personally lead the green dragon army into the dark forest. That time, seven real dragons and three thousand dragonmen dispatched together, hoping to solve the troubles in the dark jungle.
But in the end, Kapnos failed. Of the six real dragons including him, only two escaped, and the green dragon army was also defeated, with only a few hundred people returning.
Ignir realized the seriousness of the problem, he didn't waste much time, and soon began to prepare for the second attack against the Dark Forest.
It's just that before that, the undead came out.
The green dragons fought endlessly with the undead on the border of Broken Dragon Peak near the dark forest. The undead army faced by the green dragons at the same time had reached 150,000 at the most!
Hearing this number, Dane couldn't help feeling a little cold.
After some calculations, in the places where the undead natural disasters broke out in various parts of the mainland, if you count the strength of the undead army, you can get a very terrifying figure.
From Blackwood City, 30,000 undead emerged at the beginning, and later, another 20,000 came out to the territory of Pudley Kingdom, and recently another 20,000 emerged, which is 70,000.
On Broken Dragon Peak, the undead army that first attacked Emhar numbered forty thousand. And according to Green Dragon, the undead army they faced had 150,000 at its peak.
All of this added up, not counting the troops temporarily converted by the Church of the Curse after it invaded the human world, there are as many as 260,000 troops just coming out of the dark forest!
According to the latest news, the undead army in the west has also expanded to 150,000 troops after capturing the Silver City. The 150,000 undead are basically transformed from killed humans.
Based on this calculation, the total force that the Cursed Church can control, from the beginning of the war to the present, is actually 400,000!
400,000 undead army, what a terrifying number?
No wonder, starting from the Fir Collar, all the way to the Silver City, and now even to the territory of the Holy Empire, this group of undead is so powerful. Their military strength is indeed a bit too strong.
Dyne must also be thankful that in the east of his kingdom, there is such a magical mountainous area as Broken Dragon Peak, and there is the ancient dragon Ignir. Without this group of green dragons standing in their way, if the 150,000 undead army at its peak surged out of Broken Dragon Peak, the Kingdom of Schindler, which was suddenly attacked by such a huge undead army, would not know what would happen. What has become.
The green dragons have fought very hard against the undead army in the past few years.
Ignir has made a lot of preparations for this war. However, these preparations were not able to deal with the devil's attack in the end.
The green dragons who have been under siege have reduced the number of undead they faced to only 90,000. This is because there is a demigod lich and a legendary The record played in the case of the death knight.
However, the price for such a victory is that the green dragons also suffered heavy casualties.
A few years ago, there were twenty real dragons on the Green Dragon Mountain, including thousands of dragons. Up to now, the number of green dragon army is only more than 2,000 to less than 3,000, and the real dragons have already lost two-thirds. Currently, only seven real dragons can still be active on the battlefield.
It is conceivable that if it were not brought by Dane, the green dragons might be wiped out.
However, in the recent period, the life of the green dragons has been easier.
Due to the continuous approach of Dane's army, the Church of the Damned obviously felt threatened. Their suppression of the Green Dragon Army is no longer as pressing as before. Judging from the observation results of the green dragons themselves, a large number of undead are being mobilized, and it is estimated that there must be some major military action.
After bidding farewell to the green dragon, Dane's heart became heavier.
The information brought by the green dragon is basically consistent with the situation his army is facing now. The intensity of the battle on the Green Dragon Mountain decreased, and the undead withdrew part of the army for other purposes, while on their own side, Grom's army happened to be ambushed.
In this way, it is obvious where the troops who evacuated from Green Dragon Mountain went.
There should be around 10,000 to 20,000 undead still besieging Green Dragon Mountain, and that demigod lich must not move around. Otherwise, Ignier will rush out.
Then, another army of more than 70,000 undead is the opponent I will face next. And their commander should be the legendary death knight named Sofield.
A realization dawned in Dane's mind: Sefeld might end up in person and attack Grom directly! The orc chief, I'm afraid it's going to be dangerous.
…
Blood Battle Col, the Warsong Tribe is in Blood Battle Col.
This name was chosen by Grom. In the past few days, in this small mountain depression, his clan warriors have already stained this place with blood.
When he was introduced into this mountain depression, there were strong enemies on the front road, and the back road was blocked by undead, no matter how reckless Grom was, he realized that he had been tricked.
At first, he wasn't too worried. He went into battle himself, leading an elite Kor'Kron troop, and tried to launch a powerful assault from the south of the col, where the small group of undead who had copied his back were stationed.
At that time, the enemy army he faced was only two thousand. As for the Kor'Kron warriors he brought with him, there were more than a thousand people, not to mention that there were a large number of centaur raiders behind him.
However, his assault failed.
The fighting power of those two thousand undead exceeded his imagination.
This is obviously an elite unit of an undead army. Standing in front of Chief Warsong and his Kor'kron troops, the lowest level of undead was at the level of black warriors. There wasn't even a single ghoul, let alone low-level skeletons and zombies.
These Darth Vaders are no longer easy characters to deal with. In one-on-one battles, although the Kor'Kron warriors can still gain some advantages, sometimes they can kill an opponent with a single blow. However, the armor on their bodies and the martial arts they inherited from their lifetime did make the elite orcs suffer a bit.
In addition to the black warrior, in the enemy's formation, there are also some elite undead that have not appeared on the battlefield in the past-flesh puppets.
Grom also chose the name himself, but he felt that he hadn't made a mistake at all.
These flesh golems are disgusting. Except for the head, which still looks like a head, almost no part of the whole body looks like a living thing. It looks like a sutured corpse that can be stitched together from various rotting corpses. Huge in size, only one size smaller than the mammoth warrior, with several distorted limbs growing from the tumor, wielding heavy weapons such as barbs and bone-crushing knives.
The flesh and blood puppet is very strong, so strong that even the Kor'kron warriors can't withstand a heavy blow from it with all their strength. Even against the mammoth warriors, they were only slightly behind by three points.
There are quite a few such flesh and blood puppets, there are hundreds of them!
Plus a certain number of vampire raids ~IndoMTL.com~ That raid Kor'kron forces were in for a hard fight.
And Grom himself, was also haunted by a vampire lord.
The combat power of the vampire lord should be at the peak of the sixteenth level, and it is only one step away from the legend. The elusive figure made Grom feel powerful and useless. But if that's all it is, with his strength at the legendary level, he won't be unable to deal with the opponent. However, if there is a dark magician and a grand lich behind the vampire lord, then things will become difficult.
Three undead creatures standing at the peak of level 16 blocked the legendary chief Grom.
Grom beheaded the dark archmage to death with a throwing axe, but he himself lost his weapon and was seriously injured. The Kor'Kron troops under him failed to break through in the end, and were beaten back by the black warriors and flesh puppets with the support of a group of corpse monsters, and suffered heavy losses.
And before he organized a second breakout, the enemy increased their troops!
