Chapter 69: Switching from offense to defense
Wultado was late again.
When he led his army to the Rock Mountain, he only saw the open canyon and the piles of rubble piled up outside the canyon. Walking inside, although you can still see traces of the battle, the passage in the middle has been cleaned up. Under the cliff, the remains of different undead were piled up in categories...skeletons, vampires, and corpse witches.
Wultado entered the cave, the magic circle was destroyed, and the bone dragon disappeared. The quagmire that gave birth to the bone dragon turned into solid stone, and the mercury buckets were scattered on the ground, and there was no mercury left in the floor drain inside.
At this time, Urtado did not express any more rage, but his clenched fists clearly expressed his current mood.
"Which direction did the army of Scorched Earth City go?"
A corpse witch guard stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Lord, the other party has many high-level mages following them, and the traces have been destroyed. We are now I can’t make an accurate judgment yet.”
Wultado looked at the Corpse Witch, the soul fire in his eyes seemed to be spraying out: “I’m asking you, which direction did the Scorched Earth City army go?”
The corpse witch was so frightened that he prostrated on the ground and answered with his head buried: "Lord, please use divination."
"Divination?" Ultado turned his eyes to Solidification again. The Bone Dragon Pond used spiritual magic to calm down: "It's too late! Dorotea won this game!"
Ultado turned and walked out of the cave, and at the same time ordered: "Order all the troops gathered at the border to return to their original positions immediately; order the guards at the camps in the Rock Wilderness to strengthen their defenses, and don't let me hear any more news about where they have been breached.
Send a messenger to the Mud and Stone Basin and inform the Lord of Dorotea that I am willing to donate five hundred sets of armor and ask the Lord to forgive me for my previous offense.
Send a messenger to the territories of other lords and bring them to the other lords. Tell them about my donation of armor."
The pressure disappears.
The corpse witch was lying on the ground, as if all the strength in his body had been relieved, and he was grateful that he had escaped death.
"As ordered, Lord Lord!"
Wultado walked out of the cave and looked up. The sky blocked by the mountain wall was just a curved gap, and the moon was looming in the fog.
He said to himself: "We have all underestimated Dorotea. Her previous stupidity was just a disguise. Now it's time to compete for hegemony, and she finally revealed her wisdom.
Lord Pozo, your death is not meaningless. You saved my arrogance and allowed me to see clearly what my opponent looks like!”
The corpse witch just walked out of the cave and stood in Ulta. After Duoduo stood up, he asked: "Lord, are we still pursuing that Scorched Earth City army?"
"What Scorch Earth City army? Where is the Scorch Earth City army! The Rock Wilderness was just attacked by a group of wandering undead bandits, and we have driven them out."
After finishing speaking, Wuertado Mount the ghost horse and lead the army out of the canyon.
The corpse witch scratched his head, which was covered with a layer of dried meat, and couldn't figure out, "It's obviously an army from Scorched Earth City, so why did it turn into roaming undead bandits? How could there be such a group of undead bandits?" There are too many vampires, and it is even more impossible to defeat the elite army of three hundred corpse witches.”
If you can’t figure it out, you can only think about it. Let’s convey the Lord’s order first.
……
Herot led his army all the way north, avoiding all the undead discovered in advance. After the time enters night, turn northeast and carefully make a detour toward Scorched Earth City.
In the battle against Luanshi Mountain, even if they took advantage of the sneak attack, the joint combat army still suffered heavy losses.
The casualties of the vampires and burning cavalry exceeded half, and the blue mage also lost more than ten people. This kind of military strength is no longer suitable for fighting tough battles. So Helot decided to pull the army to the border area between Rock Wilderness and Scorched Earth City, use his own mobility advantage to monitor the movements of the Rock Wilderness army, and conduct a few ambush battles if there was an opportunity. If they are alerted to the encirclement and suppression by the large army in Panshiye Wilderness, they will immediately run to the Scorched Earth City.
But when Herot arrived at the border with his army, he found that the troops moving towards the border in the Rock Wilderness were actually retreating.
What does Ultado want to do?
Helot, who did not know the purpose of Ulta, continued to wander around the border area. After a day, he could no longer see the organized undead army.
There is news from the players that Dorotea has led an army to break through the Quagmire Fortress, and the vampires are attacking Lord Pozo's fortress.
The Mud and Rock Basin War is coming to an end.
Part of the Scorched Earth City army is returning to Scorched Earth City from the Mud and Stone Basin, and some of the defensive forces at Sunken Pass are also heading towards Scorched Earth City in batches.
None of the lords affiliated with Scorched Earth City made any changes.
The best time for Ultado to attack Scorched Earth City has passed, and the Rock Wilderness has entered a defensive state.
Seeing that there was no profit to be made, Herot had no choice but to return to Scorched Earth City with the remaining troops.
The Soul Eater, who was anxious to level up, decided to leave first. Before leaving, he told Herot: "If you plan to assist Dorothea, you should be more careful with the Eight Arms Guild. I got it. There is some unreliable news that the Eight-armed Ape Guild has a plan to cooperate with Ultado to capture Scorched Earth City.
During this period, the main force of the Eight-armed Ape Guild is indeed in Scorched Earth City. Head to the Mud Basin to join the battle.
I have informed the Evil Bone Lingran Guild and Red Coral Studio about this news. They are still very powerful in Scorched Earth City. It's just that Ultado didn't attack Scorched Earth City, so it's hard to tell what the Eight Arms Guild wants to do? ”
With the reminder from the Soul Eaters, Helot realized that he had indeed neglected the role of the player. Fortunately, the Azure Society had promised not only not to cause trouble when Dorothea left Scorched Earth City, , and will help defend Scorched Earth City when necessary.
The time I entered this world is still too short, too many new things suddenly come over me, and I am a bit "indigestive", and my understanding of many things is far away. Not as profound as his father.
Helot nodded: “After this war is over, it’s time to help Dorothea clean up the house. ”
“Just do whatever you decide. But I want to remind you that the relationship between player guilds is very complicated now. If you want to scan one, you may pull out a lot of them.
And players are resurrectable, so they can do more than you think. "
Helot replied: "I will handle it carefully. ”
“I believe you and support you. Goodbye, my son! Next time we meet, I will give you level 30 equipment. You upgraded so fast that I didn't even have time to prepare. "
The Soul Eaters bid farewell to Herot, opened the Scorched Earth City teleportation scroll and flew away.
Helot continued to run in the wilderness toward the Scorched Earth City with the Burning Cavalry.
In Scorched Earth City, Forgotten Kirishima stood on the city wall and looked to the west.
When the news that Lord Pozo was killed appeared on the player information channel, he couldn't help but sigh.
Wultado will not come!
