Lord of War

Compared with Angel's overly optimistic, Sean's views are much more conservative.

"I don't think our security can be improved." Sean said in a deep voice, with a particularly gloomy look on his face, "It's not that I can't trust the Frost Legion. As a lord, although the Frost Legion's intelligence is very It's hard to get, but I'm familiar with the brilliant results of several battles. The reason why I feel that the safety is not guaranteed is because once I pass through this fortress, the wild land with a vast terrain like a flat river is the most suitable for the undead to take advantage of it. location."

Hearing Sean's words, Angel, Cecilia, Rena and others were all lost in thought.

Compared with others, whether it is Angel, Cecilia, or Rena, they all have very good commanding abilities on the battlefield, and they are not just a fierce general who charges into battle. Therefore, it is natural to hear more information from Xiao En's words, combined with the racial characteristics of the undead army, it makes them clearly realize how much the vast terrain can increase the combat power of the undead army. horrible.

The most powerful aspect of the army of the undead lies in the almost infinite human sea tactics, and the undead characteristic that makes countless generals have a headache or even can't deal with it at all.

Therefore, the more you fight in the vast terrain, the more obvious the advantage of the army of undead can be brought into play.

You must know that in addition to the examination of tactics and strategy to judge the value of a general, the more important evaluation value lies in how large-scale battles they can command. For example, the reason why Hela was able to rank seventh among the ten generals in the previous life game. The reason is that once she is allowed to use her "potential" to the extreme, she can even form a terrifying strategic advantage similar to commanding millions of troops to fight a battle.

As for William, the million-level war. This is the limit of his command.

Just as if you want to maximize Ruina's excellent general ability, you only give her a cavalry regiment of 1,000 people, every general has a limit value for command and command. Once this limit is exceeded, their command ability will be greatly reduced, and it may even cause negative effects such as confusion in the command system.

This is also one of the fundamental reasons why those powerful kingdoms will never think that their own country has too many generals.

Ten generals at the level of generals are all able to command at least a million-level army on one battlefield.

But the army of the undead is different.

Different from the battlefield semaphore and other communication methods of intelligent creatures, the undead army relies on the soul command method of the central node. So don't say it's a million. Even if it is a scale of tens of millions, it is nothing more than an idle talk to the undead army. And this tens of millions level. It still refers to the fifth and sixth ranks, which belong to the regular army sequence of the undead army. The cannon fodder sequence like skeletons and bones is not considered at all.

So it is conceivable that once you fight against the army of undead in a vast area. What a terrible thing that would be.

Unless they have the combat power to forcibly crush them, the undead army will directly annex any legion in this world with a steady stream of numbers. And after the war, they will transform these legionnaires who died in battle into their own kind, and the scale will become larger like a snowball.

"We want to take this fortress?" Cecilia is indeed the person who understands Sean best, and she understood Sean's strategic intentions in an instant.

"If we stick to it as a stronghold, it will be of great benefit to us." Sean said in a deep voice.

His purpose is not just to drive away Lake from the Gate of Bones, his real purpose is to hide the Holy Land Utopia in that black soil land, and the only way to go to the black soil land is this fortress. Prior to this, Sean's idea was to do everything possible to strengthen the Principality's armaments. He even did not hesitate to drag all the barbaric tribes into the water, preparing to annex their forces to become the eighth empire of human forces in the world, and then forcibly capture the fortress of this millennium covenant empire that enters and exits the barren land.

But right now. Apparently there's a better way.

Angel glanced at Sean, a little hesitant to speak, but in the end she still didn't speak.

Because she knew very well that she had nothing to say in this situation, even if it was just for the strategic purpose of preventing the undead army from wandering around, this fortress must be controlled by human beings. So Angel was not at all worried that this fortress would fall into the hands of the undead. Because the Millennium Covenant Empire will inevitably send out a large army to take back this fortress. After all, this is a key place for human beings to resist the army of the undead.

But. If this fortress is taken down by Sean.

It is conceivable that it will not be an easy task for the Millennium Covenant Empire to take this fort back. Especially after Angel saw that there were superpowers under Xiao En's command, she knew even more clearly that the Millennium Covenant Empire, which had just experienced civil strife and division, would never take back this fortress through a contest of force—even if Angel didn't know Xiao En's Void Empire plan, but looking at the close connection between the wild land and the Void Principality, she also knows that the Void Principality can no longer be viewed according to the standard of the general principality.

Under Xiao En's order, Alexis did not put away the Spear of Ruins, but acted as a vanguard to enter the fortress first.

Followed by Xiao En and the others, Kozilek is still in charge of the rear.

After entering the city, it is obvious that the scene in the city is even more tragic.

For the horror of the undead army, Sean only experienced it in the game, but the game is a game after all, and the cruelty of war cannot be fully reflected. And because of data limitations, some players who don't want to experience such a horrible scene can also turn on the "Harmony" mode, but even if the bloody mode is turned on, what they see in the game is far from what Sean sees in front of them Situation comparison.

The blood almost stained all the buildings in Xiao En's field of vision.

But in the entire city, apart from such a strong smell of blood and such a bright blood red, not even a single corpse was found.

Not even dead bodies. Even the equipment of the garrison in the city is not left behind. All that remained were the chaos and terror that had erupted in the city, as well as the ruined walls and some furniture that had been destroyed. There are also scorched black traces and black smoke that seem to be after something exploded.

Like a helpless man crying silently.

Xiao En's gaze couldn't help but fell to Kozilek who was behind the opponent.

Kozilek knew what Sean meant, so he looked sideways to the front right.

Although this fortress is a military fortress, it is mainly used to prevent the tribes of the wild land from entering the hinterland of the Millennium Covenant Empire through this pass, so the overall focus is on military operations. However, as the Pan-Continental Chamber of Commerce's commercial reclamation activities in the barren land became more and more prosperous, the six gates guarding the import and export of the barren land soon became an important supply transfer station, and gradually changed from pure The military base in China has been transformed into a defensive fortress with half military function and half commercial function.

But most of the buildings in the fortress. Military building materials are still used, and the layout is mainly for militarization purposes. Therefore, it is very guaranteed in terms of defensive performance.

At this time, the location Kozilek pointed to was the tallest and largest building in the entire fortress.

If there are no accidents, this should be the command center in the entire fortress. After all, the fort was originally a military fortress. Even after improvements were made due to the influence of the Pancontinental Chamber of Commerce Alliance, the main functions of the fortress have not been cancelled, but expansion and renovation have been carried out in the fortress, and some original military settlements have been given over to business travelers and civilians. a free trade market.

The blood-stained land Xiao En and the others saw undoubtedly should be the civilian residential area, and the relatively well-preserved one should be the military area.

"Go." Sean said concisely.

So the team quickly walked towards the place Kozilek directed.

Soon, everyone came to a huge camp area.

As expected, this military area has extremely obvious traces of fierce fighting. But compared to the fortress like a dead city, this military area can still see a lot of corpses. But at this time, these corpses were not thrown around randomly, but were neatly piled up on the bonfire platform that had been built. There are many people around who are busy: they are either inspecting the corpse and collecting the nameplates and records on the corpse to prove their identity, or they are busy carrying the corpses of other soldiers who died in battle and sorting out the military equipment.

At this time, with the appearance of Xiao En and others, more soldiers began to pour out from some surrounding buildings, and quickly deployed a defensive formation, and even those soldiers who were busy arranging nameplates and armaments. He also quickly picked up the weapons around him and joined the defensive formation. There are several guard towers around that have not been destroyed. Soon some figures appeared, and they were aiming at Xiao En and the others with arrows in their hands.

The fact that they didn't launch an attack immediately was probably because the aura emanating from Kozilek and Alexis was extremely strong, which made them clearly realize that the power gap between the two sides was too great. Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao En and others did not show any obvious hostility, so these people did not launch an attack for the time being.

"Human... human?" A person who seemed to be of some status by his military rank stood out from the crowd.

"Human." Sean nodded.

"This is not a safe place, hurry up..." The officer shouted immediately after hearing Xiao En's acknowledgment, but soon, he realized that the opponent's strength was obviously not simple, because Kozilek and Ellie No matter which of these two people, Kexis, brought them extremely strong pressure, what's more, there are two other people in this team, and they still vaguely have Sean as the core.

"You...are reinforcements?" The officer hesitated for a moment, then chose his words carefully.

Angel looked at Sean with a complicated expression.

"In terms of resisting the undead army, we are indeed reinforcements." Xiao En nodded, and then said, "Facing such a huge threat, this is an unshirkable responsibility as a human being."

The officer's eyes flickered a little, and he had already heard the hidden subtext in Xiao En's words. However, while the officer could hear the subtext in Xiao En's words, the other ordinary soldiers couldn't understand it at all. They only knew that Xiao En and the others were here to support their reinforcements, so they burst into cheers . Looking back at the soldiers who had been facing great fear of death just now, the officer showed a wry smile helplessly.

He glanced at Xiao En and the others again, frowned slightly, finally gritted his teeth, and said, "Can you please go to the conference room to talk?"
