Lord of War

"Your method has failed again." The powerful but completely unknown skeleton said coldly again.

The tens of thousands of skeleton mages who accompanied the Fallen to fight in the vanguard cannon fodder army were all subordinates of this skeleton mage, so only he could control these skeleton mages. That's why he stepped forward before and issued formation combat instructions to all the skeleton mages: summon skeleton soldiers to take the road at all costs, and cast all the magic power to gather acid rain to attack the city.

Although skeleton mages are mages, they can form a group of mages after they have a large scale, but after all, they are only third-order undead. Not only can they cast only a few undead spells, but their own magic power is also really limited.

Although summoning skeleton soldiers does not consume a lot of mana, a skeleton mage can easily summon four or five times. But just four or five times of summoning, what good is it for building a bone ladder that can pass through the 30-meter-high fortress wall? So at the very least, there must be 20,000 skeleton mages to focus on this, not to waste, but they must build the bone ladder successfully.

This is the core goal of this vanguard force.

But the defenders on the fortress will definitely not let the undead army build it. Through the previous offensive and defensive battles, whether it is Ed Rozo or this powerful skeleton, they can already see that the final step of the bone ladder will definitely be built successfully. , but the time they need to consume is definitely not short, and the loss will be huge. This is not what they want to see, not to mention that they don't know what the future plans of the Principality of the Void are. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is natural to shorten the time as much as possible.

Therefore, when playing, Adirozo prepared two tactics.

The first is to constantly summon skeleton soldiers, which will bring great pressure to the enemy. Destroy their morale and confidence and force the other side to fight out of the city.

Unfortunately, this tactic was seen through by William. Therefore, Alfred's request to fight was naturally not approved, but William stabilized the morale of the army with a few words.

The first tactic failed. Then naturally only the second tactic can be used.

The skeleton next to Ed Rozzo ordered the Skeleton Mage Legion to go all out, desperately summoning all the skeleton soldiers, and then quickly built the bone ladder. The magic power forms a magic power chain to share with each other, and casts strong acid rain enough to cover the entire fortress. Its purpose is also very simple, that is to let the other party can only watch the building of the Bone Stairway, but they are powerless to stop it, and the casting range of the acid rain cloud is only limited to the fortress. It will not spread outside the fortress.

Although the tactics are different, the purpose is the same: to force the defenders out of the city.

Unfortunately, it still failed.

William still has no plans to let the legion go out of the city to fight.

"Even if there is no way to force them out of the city, it can still hit their morale, and even cause damage and weaken the defenders in the fortress to a certain extent." Ed Rozzo said in a deep voice, with a cold mood, " Besides, when your acid rain magic is over, the Bone Staircase will naturally be built, and at that time I have already killed the city wall and fought with the enemy.... No matter what, we are all victorious."

"It's best." The skeleton replied coldly, "It's too late to suppress the rapid rain. I ordered slow rain. After about 20 minutes, the bone ladder will be built, and you can start preparing."

As the skeleton said,

The dark clouds in the sky were not rainstorms, and the rain curtain was not large, but it was more continuous and continuous, which was in line with the rainy season in the Southern Continent. However, this kind of continuous drizzle has always been the most hated by the people of the Southern Continent. Because this kind of weather will lead to an increase in air humidity, and there will be many rainy days in a row. Clothes were difficult to dry and had a musty smell.

now. Steel Feather and others in the fortress are very angry.

Although the rain was not heavy, the damage to the impact shield was not too obvious and serious, but it would undoubtedly prolong this almost tormented time, and the loss and blow to morale would be more serious than the next rainstorm.

However, the armies of the Principality of the Void are all strange monsters, such as the Iron Wings, Thunder Lion, Cecilia's Guards, etc. It is very difficult to lower their morale, and even the Sergeant under the command of Clover Even if there are only a few hundred people left in a war, the Celia Guards will not be defeated at all.

This kind of elite army almost only exists in those empires and super kingdoms, but the Void Principality has it.

But in any case, the emergence of the mage group is indeed a very terrible strategic weapon. As long as they appear on the battlefield, they can often directly reverse the situation of a war, but not everyone can afford a mage group-the so-called mage group must have at least a hundred official magicians. All right, and then connect the power of all magicians together through a special magic power chain, so that they can cast powerful battlefield-level or even strategic-level magic.

Therefore, generally, the battlefield where the mage group appears must be a national war of the first-class kingdom level.

In the battlefield between the Principality of Ryan and the Kingdom of Darbion, none of the three major battlefields had the intervention and participation of the mage group. Although there were magicians joining the war on some battlefields, they could not form a scale that could directly reverse the situation on the battlefield. .

The background of the Principality of the Void is still insufficient after all. Even if it has a level comparable to a super-first-class kingdom or even an empire in all aspects, the mage group still does not have it. Even though Sean came up with the idea of ​​using the Priest Combat Group instead, the Priest Combat Group can only perform some magical assistance to make the war legion stronger. Facing the powerful war magic formed by the real mage group Attack, also can't produce enough anti-magic damage.

The construction of the Bone Stairs has been getting faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, the height has climbed from 17 meters to 24 meters, and another 6 meters will be able to equal the height of the city wall of the entire wild fortress.

"It's a pity." Seeing the gradual formation of the bone ladder, Adirozo sighed softly in his heart.

The most powerful charge of cavalry is at the advantage of the height difference, that is, when charging from an uphill to a downhill road; secondly, it is a frontal charge with sufficient distance, such as a plain 100 meters away. But the structure of the bone ladder is a thrust from bottom to top. This requires twice as much damage to the cavalry's charge as usual, and even the charge will be less powerful.

It's just that Adirozo didn't have the chance to choose.

He has seen it. The defenders standing on the city wall were very powerful, if he hadn't transformed and forcibly enhanced the forces deployed under his command through demonization. I'm afraid that if he encounters such an army at other times, he will be the only one who will be defeated. Therefore, he can only let his cavalry troops take the lead in charging. Only in this way can he hope to open a hole, and then tear a wound, so that the follow-up troops can continuously attack the city wall and gain a firm foothold.

This is war.

If he could manage it slowly, he certainly hoped that the Bone Stairs could build a platform with a length of 100 meters. This is more suitable for his army to play.

But unfortunately, he does not have such a platform.

Insufficient material is one factor, and another factor is that he doesn't think the "companion" around him will help him in this way.

A skeleton cavalry walked out of the cavalry formation leading a horse.

This is a skeleton horse with only the skeleton of a horse left, but like the situation of the entire legion, this is also an illusion shield. In fact, this is a war horse with black flames burning on all four hooves. The horse's body is as black as ink, and its eyes have bright red light. It looks extraordinarily fierce and ferocious. The horse is not wearing a vest. It's not that I'm unprepared, but that I don't need it.

This is not a horse from the plane of bones, but a horse-type monster unique to the native world-the firehoof.

This kind of Warcraft has a strong impact ability and speed. It only grows near the Millennium Covenant Empire in the southern continent. It is the favorite mount of many knights, and it is also an important source of income for the export and sales of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Originally, the firehoofed beast Edrozo was only at the sixth level, but after Edrozo became a fallen man, his horse's strength was also improved, and now it has the strength of the eighth level. Coupled with some special gifts given by the undead race, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a ninth-level monster.

Ed Rozzo got on his horse and held a spear with his right hand. He stared at the walls of the fortress indifferently.

At this time, the height of the bones ladder has been built to twenty-nine meters. There are countless skeleton soldiers climbing up crazily, preparing to turn into the last meter of stairs.

With a wave of Ed Rozo's hand. The entire phalanx of undead cavalry was immediately divided into two rows: one left and one right.

At this moment, a fiery red tornado suddenly broke through the sky from the city wall.

Brilliant red, blazing, and violent, this is how this huge fiery red tornado with a diameter of five meters gave everyone present the feeling.

When this tornado rose up, pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, and began to spread out rapidly, dyeing the sky in the color of burning clouds, and the acid rain falling from the dark clouds gradually became smaller . As for those areas affected by the flame tornado and turned into burning clouds, the acid rain stopped falling directly, leaving only a layer of bright colors.

In an instant, among the skeleton mages who cast the acid rain magic, patches of white mist exploded.

These are all skeletons that were directly blown to death because of the impact of the flame tornado, which caused the magic power of the acid rain to backfire.

However, these dead skeleton mages only occupy a small part of the entire huge skeleton mage group, not even a thousand. Although the explosion is still going on, it is because Cecilia is taking advantage of the danger-the magic consumption of the skeleton mage is close to the end of the crossbow, even if Cecilia does not use this tornado, the acid rain will soon end. It's just that she was unwilling in her heart, unwilling to be suppressed and beaten like this and not be able to cause some losses to the army of undead, so she chose to make a move at this moment.

"Hmph." The mysterious skeleton didn't seem to care at all about the constant sacrifices of his skeleton mages, and still just let out a sneer, "Struggle, despair, be unwilling... the more you are like this, the more your souls will grow stronger." It's delicious!"

As the skeleton's words fell, the last meter of bone stairs was finally built, and the soul fire in its eye sockets suddenly lit up a few times.

All the skeleton mages who were casting spells stopped immediately, and quickly retreated to the left and right, giving way to the middle path leading directly to the bone ladder. And those skeleton soldiers who haven't had time to turn into the material of the bone ladder simply rushed to the city wall and quickly boarded the city wall. They will be the best bait to create chaos. This is also the routine method that the undead army will use after making the bone ladder: use those skeleton soldiers that have not been exhausted to create chaos on the city wall, provide better fighting space and occasions for the follow-up army of the undead, and occasionally even be able to climb up the ladder in the follow-up army. Take down the city wall before going up the city wall.

However, facing the elite army of the Void Principality, Steel Wings, it is obviously impossible to do this.

Ed Rozzo let out a roar, and the skeleton cavalry troops in the two phalanxes on the left and right slowly began to run forward.
