The undead probably also want to see the reality of human beings.
Xu Lai was already prepared for a long-term battle, but the undead did not let Xu Lai wait too long.
Rodhart's side, like Sandru, has gradually established a firm foothold in human territory after experiencing initial difficulties.
If the undead were not dissatisfied with each other, the King of Knights and the King of Skeletons would be competing for territory.
Grand Duke Yuwen of the Eastern Empire, let alone the idea of attacking Lion Heart City at this moment, it would be a shame to be able to keep his core city.
The priest who restrained the undead the most could not provide much support to Yu Wenshao, which made the undead also look down upon humans.
When Xu Lai first came, he was so sudden that he flew directly into the barrier camp by flying thaumaturgy.
By the time Sandru learned the news, Xu Lai's large army was already very close to the World Tree.
In addition, there is a team of angels on Xu Lai's side. Sandru will not be able to compete without mobilizing the Bone Dragon Army.
But by the time he finishes mobilizing the main force, humans will probably have already entered the coverage of the World Tree.
Even if Sandro ordered an all-out interception, it would only increase casualties. It would be impossible to absorb this human reinforcements without dispatching the main force of the undead.
It was out of this consideration that Sandro decided to let Xu Lai into the city.
Anyway, the fight against the elf troops is a fight, and the addition of a human force is also a fight. There is not much difference.
And this human army is not small in scale. Putting it into the elves' territory will only increase the elves' material consumption.
The undead have always been experts in fighting wars of attrition, but that is only determined by the characteristics of the undead, not Sandro's original intention.
In fact, Sandro himself has been patient for countless years, and his patience is really not as great as he imagined.
In addition, Sandro really needs to know the fighting power of humans.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Even if there is no such saying in this world, there must be such a military thought.
Before his death, Sandro was the founding monarch of mankind, and after his death, he was the leader of the four kings of the undead.
No matter who he is, there is no doubt about Sandro's military ability.
What's more, as an undead, the most you can do is cannon fodder.
After the gate of the abyss was closed, Kerrigan was reluctant to die too many cannon fodder.
But for the undead, no matter how many cannon fodders die, they will not feel distressed.
As long as you have enough mana and ordinary bone sticks, you can find a cursed place and use them to attack a lot.
As a result, the remaining three Shenmu cities were still shrouded in a thick dark sky.
In the city where Xu Lai came, the black fog in front of him suddenly opened, and large white flowers and gray bones and sticks poured out from the black fog.
On the black skull flag is a huge dragon head.
But unlike ordinary dragon heads, this dragon head is a white jade-like skeletal image.
Among the entire cemetery camp, the only one qualified to carry such a flag is the Undead King Sandro.
His flag appeared here, and many of the elves on the city wall were so frightened that they lost their voices.
During this period, Sandro, the undead king, brought too much harm and too much fear to these elves.
As soon as they saw this flag, countless elves were reminded of those frightening times dominated by the shadow of death.
Leina frowned and said to Archdruid Yin Mu:
“Let the ordinary civilians go down first. Not only are they not helpful here, but they are hurting our morale. "
Yin Mu sighed and nodded helplessly.
Immediately, the druids organized the militia and civilians to leave.
And their departure means that the large number of catapults and ballistae on the city wall will lack civilians to help transport ammunition.
In addition to ammunition, elven civilians are also responsible for delivering daily and medical supplies such as breakfast, lunch and dinner, hot water, bandages, etc.
The elves, who have been defeated repeatedly, really don’t have many warriors available.
So even if he knew that the elven civilians had been frightened, Yin Mu had no choice but to organize a militia.
Unlike the demoralized elves, humans have won every battle. Under the leadership of Xu Lai and Reina, even the Demon King of Hell was defeated.
In this case, this group of human warriors would not pay attention to a mere stick of bone.
Unlike the nervous elves who are facing a disaster, the human warriors are quite relaxed.
Without the elves responsible for transporting ammunition, the sky shooters who controlled the catapult worked hard to calibrate the catapult.
They don't need saturation attacks to scare the enemy. The officers have long explained that the undead will not be afraid.
Swish swish, swish swish.
Without any orders, just under the unified command of the flag, human shooters can launch dozens of catapults on the city wall at the same time.
There is no need for any advance explanation. Under the command of various grassroots officers, all the catapults smashed the boulders into different locations.
Not a single boulder or even a crossbow arrow was attacking the same area and the same target.
They are targeting the most valuable and numerous targets within a straight line distance.
Arrow towers and stone throwing are natural advantages for the defender.
Even if the attacking troops have ballistics expertise, they will still be slightly inferior when facing the walls of a castle-level city like Shenmu City.
The undead are naturally not bound by any morale, and of course they will not have any bonus to high morale.
The boulders that flew several kilometers rolled and crushed countless skeletons and sticks.
But both the skeletons in front and behind ignored their own casualties and still moved forward at a unified pace.
However, among the skeleton army at the rear, some skeleton mages wearing wizard robes quietly followed.
These skeleton mages don't know any other spells. The only thing they know is skeleton resurrection, which can pull dead skeletons back up.
But after dying once, the Skeleton Warrior will be downgraded to Skeleton Warrior, and the Skeleton Warrior will be downgraded to Skeleton Soldier.
Ordinary skeletons cannot be downgraded, but due to the severe bone loss, even with the help of spells, three skeletons can often only resurrect two skeletons.
However, let alone the loss of one skeleton, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million skeletons are nothing to the undead.
To be honest, this scene is still shocking to ordinary people.
Especially when seeing the skeletons that just fell and getting up again and again, people will have some bad emotions.
What's more, in the vast army of skeletons, ordinary people can't tell that the number of skeletons getting up is less.
Not to mention that ordinary people couldn't see it, even Xu Lai, who was standing on the ancient guardian, couldn't see anything with his good eyesight.
The druids, who were already feeling guilty, gave Reina advice:
"General, this speed is too slow, let's let the militia come up.
Shenmu City is the last barrier of World Tree, there is no room for failure." Druid's status in the barrier is still very high Yes, most of the top echelons of the Elf Royal Court and the Elf Elders are druids.
If it were not for war, the supreme commander of Shenmu City would definitely be Arch Druid Yin Mu.
Not to mention that Reina has been imprisoned for decades, even decades ago, Reina's status within the elves was not as good as Yin Mu.
Reina glanced at Yin Mu. As an elf elder, Yin Mu knew the situation clearly.
“Are you scared by a group of skeleton sticks?
Don’t forget, His Majesty the King of the Human Legion is still here. Are you still more valuable than the Eagle King?
Her Majesty the Queen and the group of elders have handed over the command to His Majesty Xu Lai, and Ms. Reina is the commander personally appointed by His Majesty Xu Lai.
On the battlefield, Ms. Reina gave all orders. Commands have the highest authority
I don't care what your opinions are, just keep your mouths shut at this moment and follow the instructions. "
When the elves were in crisis, Reina's indifference made the upper elf a little dissatisfied.
Although Yin Mu maintained Reina's authority, he did not leave anything for Reina. Face.
Leina was not angry, but said lightly: "Thank you, Elder Yin. "
Xu Lai, who has equally keen ears and is not far from the command podium, poked Trisili who stayed behind to guard him and said:
"Why do I feel that you elves don't welcome us?"
Trishly bit her lip and said, "When our sisters massaged you just now, we didn't seem to feel that you felt this way."< br>
Xu Lai smiled, but did not continue. He struggled with this issue, but asked:
"I just saw that all the little sisters under you were scattered. Are they looking for the commander of the undead?"
Tris Li looked up at the approaching skeleton army in the distance and said:
"Whether these skeleton soldiers are using Sandro's banner to scare us or not.
But as long as we find Sandro's location, we can hope to turn defeat into victory."
Xu Lai frowned and said, "But I heard that Sandro is a lich. As a lich, don’t you want to find their phylactery?”
Trishly said: “If you want to completely kill Sandro, you must destroy his phylactery.
But the function of the phylactery is to help the lich resurrect, what if the lich is not dead?”
"You mean, you want to capture Sandro alive? Seal him in prison?"
Trishly said bitterly: "I know this is not easy, but we have no other options.
Even if we kill Sandro, we can’t destroy his huge The undead army.
The only way is to control or seal Sandru, otherwise the shadow of death will always be with the elves."
There are two main ways for Sandru to reach the elves' lair. One purpose is to plunder a large number of dragon bones to mass-produce bone dragons.
Another purpose is to gain the secret of rebirth and resurrection by controlling the World Tree.
Although the undead have eternal life, they have forever lost all sense of being human.
Taste, smell, vision, hearing, touch and even human emotions are all things that the undead desire but cannot obtain.
No matter what Sandro's goal is, he must conquer the Elf King's Court, where the World Tree and Dragon Tomb are located.
Xu Lai was silent for a moment, then turned to Elvi and said:
"If the ranger gives a signal, don't kill Sandro this time."
Elvy shrugged and said: "Although Sandro is a mage, he is still dangerous. It's not much lower than Kerrigan.
Moreover, the higher the level of the undead, the more likely they are to be resurrected. The more time and accumulation it takes.
If Sandro dies, the undead army he left here will be leaderless.
Even if we can't kill all the undead, There should still be a chance to drive away and kill most of them.”
Obviously, Elvi does not agree with holding back Sandro.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said: "You have to decide what to do. If it is really dangerous, just kill him.
At worst, if we stay for a while, we will definitely help you drive away the undead army. Leave again."
Trishly nodded silently. As an elf, she really had no right or face to let her allies take the risk for the elves.
The offensive and defensive battle on the ground is still continuing. Giselle and the phantom shooters have started shooting.
They did not stay on the city wall, but on the rows of ancient defenders on the inside of the city wall.
After the ancient guardians took root, there were towering trees, with a group of phantom shooters crowded on them, which was really relaxing and enjoyable.
With the help of the ancient guardians, the phantom archers have no shortage of arrows.
Anyway, to kill these skeletons, the wood spirit arrows and phantom arrows are the same. One arrow is used and no second shot is needed.
At this moment, the only thing that the phantom shooters need to worry about is not whether they have enough ammunition, but how long their own physical strength can last.
The ultra-long range of the phantom archers and the elevation of the ancient guardians higher than the city walls allowed them to attack first than the arrow towers.
On top of the ancient guardian next to Xu Lai, Giselle opened her bow and nocked an arrow, taking the lead in using the Arrow Rain skill.
The huge rain of arrows instantly took away the lives of hundreds of skeleton warriors.
But even with the output of the phantom shooter, for the entire group of skeletons, it is just a drop in the ocean and cannot make a big splash.
Using wood spirit arrows, the output of phantom shooters cannot carry phantoms, and the output is almost 8 times less.
However, even if the output increased by another 8 times, it would still be of no use facing these skeletons that got up again not long after they died.
Seeing this scene, even Xu Lai couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows and said:
"The attack of the undead has not really come yet, and I can't help but feel a chill. .
It’s really not easy for you elves to persist for so long without collapse.”
Trishly sighed: “These skeletons are used to kill our morale and ammunition. br>
Deal with them, there are countless wasted energy and arrows, and most of the skeletons can't even climb up the city wall.
But it’s no good if we don’t deal with them. There are so many skeletons knocking on them, and even the strongest city wall will be smashed one day. ”
Even if the 9th-level Seraph faces the 1st-level skeleton soldier, there is a huge gap of 8 levels between the two sides.
But even so, the Seraph does not dare to say that it is truly invincible. Injury.
The probability of causing basic damage will become smaller and smaller depending on the difference between attack, defense and level, but it is never equal to none.
In the world of magic, as long as there are enough people, not to mention city walls and seraphs, even gods can be killed.
Of course, one thing defeats another, and there is no real invincibility in this world.
Seeing that the effect of physical damage was not ideal, Reina snapped her fingers.
After hearing this snap of fingers, the magic archers who had been given up their positions in the arrow tower by the phantom archers all drew out the red arrows in their quivers. (End of this chapter)
