Archmage Of The Undead

Of course, Xin Nancheng is not without countermeasures against these jackals who come to burn, kill and loot.

New Nancheng also sent out an elite team to kill these jackals across the vast land.

Among them, the mobile division is the largest force, and it is also the strongest mobile force in New South City.

The entire division is divided into six regiments, and there are also some forces directly under the division, such as reconnaissance battalions, guard battalions, etc., totaling tens of thousands of people.

The mobile division is a second-class combat unit in Daxia's hierarchy. The lowest level for soldiers is black iron. Non-commissioned officers such as squad leaders are silver-level professionals.

Officers above the battalion commander level require gold-level professionals, and senior military officers such as division commanders are all saint-level professionals.

They did not participate in the defense of New South City, but roamed outside as a mobile force. When the enemy attacked fortresses and fortresses, they could put pressure on the enemy's back.

At the same time, it can also go deep behind enemy lines and attack their logistical supply lines, causing them logistical pressure.

Recently, the mobile division has also dispatched a lot of elite forces, with companies as units, to pull nets to sweep away the jackals in the territory. The overall effect is quite good.

…

In the quiet moment of the war, it didn't last long before the Jackal troops arrived outside Fort Kangchuan.

Fort Kangchuan is built on a mountain. As a mountain city, it has more advantages in defense.

Standing on the high tower, Huo Ling looked down at the enemies at the foot of the mountain. The number of Jackals at the foot of the mountain was about 15,000.

The morale of these jackal soldiers is good, and their armors and flags are clear. They look like elite troops at first glance.

The number of at least 15,000 was more than ten times that of the defenders. This was a huge number, and the pressure to defend was too great.

As the number increases, the corresponding elite strength of the Jackals will definitely not be less.

Unexpectedly, the jackals were very aggressive as soon as they arrived. It seemed that they would not give up until they took Fort Kangchuan.

Huo Ling's face was ugly. There were too many enemies. As the saying goes, if there are ten thousand people, there is no limit to the enemy.

Looking down from the mountain, it is densely packed with jackals setting up camp.

…

"The Duke ordered us to capture this fortress within ten days. Do you have any good suggestions?"

At the foot of the mountain, among the jackal army, in a large tent that was first built, more than a dozen jackals held a pre-battle meeting here. The person who spoke was the commander-in-chief, Marquis Buck.

Marquis Buck is also one of the powerful Gnoll nobles. He is a powerful Gnoll warlord and is a Holy Domain level Gnoll warlord.

Among the nearly 15,000 soldiers he led this time, more than 6,000 were his family's own private army.

The other soldiers, who were also private soldiers from other noble families in the tent, joined together to form this 15,000-strong army.

"The intelligence of this castle shows that the original garrison only had a few hundred people, and there was a silver-level defensive array in the city. This is a difficult point that needs to be paid attention to. At the same time, humans will definitely increase the number of people in the castle during this period, so I guess now There are at least a thousand people in the castle, and there must be high-level professionals among them."

An old gnoll man spoke slowly. He was Count Atli, a gnoll priest. The god he believed in was Yeenoghu, the god of gnolls in the abyss.

Unlike orthodox gods, most of the spells mastered by believers and priests of orthodox gods use light energy, including healing spells and amplification spells, which they are good at.

But the divine arts mastered by the priests of Yeenoghu are different. Most of their magical arts are used to torture enemies. They are also good at summoning demons, such as summoning secondary demons and summoning some low-level demons from the abyss.

There are also summoning high-level demons, such as some six-armed snake demons, crazy fighting demons, etc.

Sometimes they can also summon the Abyss Gnolls from the Abyss. These Gnolls who belong directly to Yeenoghu also have considerable power under the influence of the Abyss.

"We have more people, so what's there to be afraid of? Even if they have a silver-level defensive array, how long can they last in our hands?!"

Another Gnoll noble laughed ferociously, his tone full of disdain for Atli, the Gnoll priest.

He is Earl Warren, a powerful nobleman and a gold-level shaman.

Earl Warren took the path of shaman, and there were many such professionals in the Gnoll Empire.

The gnolls are a dualistic worship system. Some gnolls believe in the gnoll god Yeenoghu who is far away in the abyss, while the other part disdains being the lackeys of the gods.

They embarked on the path of worshiping ancestors. They believed in the powerful ancestors of their families and provided these ancestors with the power of faith. They expected these ancestors to accumulate enough power, ignite the sacred fire, and hold the throne high to become new gods.

Therefore, neither Warren nor Atlee despise each other. This is a battle of beliefs. Fortunately, they have not reached the bottom of the conflict, otherwise they would not have to fight humans, and they would be able to fight each other.

Warren is also a spellcaster. He can use the power of ancestral spirits and blood sacrifices to release witchcraft, and his strength is quite good.

"Earl Warren, do you have any good suggestions?" Buck did not comment on the dispute between the two nobles below him.

As long as these two don't fight in front of him, it doesn't matter.

"Let those slaves go up and try it out first. We can't come up with any results by discussing it here." Earl Warren opened his mouth full of sharp teeth and gave a suggestion.

Marquis Buck nodded, then looked at the Jackal below and ordered: "Viscount Hood, please lead a group of slaves to launch a trial attack first to investigate the enemy's city defense facilities."

A jackal officer wearing thick armor stood up from his seat and responded loudly: "Yes! Lord Marquis"

Then, he walked out of the tent with the battle ax in his hand. Not long after, a melodious horn sounded outside.

Soon, a troop of several hundred people was successfully assembled. This was Viscount Hood's family's private army. The strength of these soldiers was pretty good. Each of them had elite apprentice-level fighting capabilities. The best among them had even broken through to the black iron level. .

The low-level soldiers wore simple armor. The defense provided by these leather armors was better than nothing, and some were even not as strong as the defensive power of the gnoll's natural fur.

Driven by these jackal soldiers, more slaves were driven out of the slave camps. These slaves were of various races and had everything.

There are goblins, kobolds, wild boar people, lizard people, etc. These are all slaves of some small tribes that the gnolls have recently conquered.

Viscount Hood was walking in front of the group of slaves with a battle ax in hand. He was wearing thick enchanted armor with dense runes on it. From time to time, the aura of the runes would light up. As the aura appeared and died, the armor was fully visible. of defense.

"You lowly slaves are in good luck. Have you seen the small castle above? As long as you conquer this city, I will set you free!"

Viscount Hood opened his mouth wide and his bright red tongue danced between his teeth, telling words to seduce these slaves.
