Chapter 138 The Burning Fortress
The suddenness and high speed of the attack made the layers of defense in the Broken Forest useless. The defensive zombies move slowly, which means they can only eat dust behind the cavalry.
The Burning Cavalry encountered no decent obstacles along the way, running through the forest as if they were in an uninhabited land.
Five hours later, the Burning Cavalry rushed out of the forest path, with a large open space in front of them.
The Rottenwood Fortress is there, alone and exposed in front of the coalition forces!
Due to the lack of stone, the main body of the Rotten Wood Fortress is a civil structure. The logs are inserted side by side into the earth wall, which is the fortress wall, less than ten meters high. Then build some arrow rests on top, stuff them with corpse spear throwers, and you will build the city defense system of the Rotten Wood Fortress.
Such a city defense is better than nothing. The army that can reach here cannot be stopped by such a simple city defense.
Lord Hansal still relies on his huge army of zombies and defensive camps scattered throughout the forest.
Its combat philosophy is "delay time, and you can wait for a turnaround."
Now, the zombie army stationed in the fortress is sent to the border to snatch stones.
The forest defense system was penetrated.
Rottenwood Fortress was nakedly exposed in front of the coalition forces.
After Howl led the Burning Cavalry to rush out of the forest, they charged towards the Rottenwood Fortress without stopping. The following Burning Cavalry changed formations and spread their wings to both sides.
With Howl's order, all the Burning Cavalry ignited the flames on their bodies together. The sea of fire offensive was launched, and the cavalry line set off a rolling wave of fire and pressed towards the Rotten Wood Fortress.
The dragon's roar sounded in the sky, and the ghost dragon flew over the sea of fire, bringing a large number of bats to the wall of the Rotten Wood Fortress.
At this time, a harsh bone whistle sounded inside the Rotten Wood Fortress, and the defenders climbed up the city wall in panic. They didn't know how the intruder suddenly appeared here, let alone what the wave of fire was that was sweeping over here.
Were all the defenders in the forest camp silently wiped out?
But no matter what happened, war has come, and the invaders are rushing in front of us.
The undead heroes who climbed onto the city wall roared loudly, commanding the defenders to attack the incoming waves of fire.
The corpse spear thrower threw wooden spears, and sporadic spells flew up from the city wall and smashed into the fire waves. In the explosion, some of the flames dimmed, but quickly brightened again.
The fire wave continued to charge towards the city wall, speeding up instead of slowing down. The horses' hooves were galloping like thunder, as if they were going to directly knock down the thin city wall?
Behind the fire wave, a row of earth-gray magic balls flew up in a parabola, passed over the sea of fire, and landed on the outside of the city wall.
The magic ball drilled into the soil, followed by violent vibrations. The ground was bulged by the powerful energy erupting underground, and the raised soil pressed the thin wooden city wall inward.
The sea of fire rushed in at this moment, and inside was a dense queue of burning cavalry. They waved their riding whips, stepped on the wall that turned into a slope, rushed to a high point, and jumped down towards the chaotic undead defenders behind the wall.
Like a pouring fire waterfall, it forms a spectacular spectacle.
The burning cavalry who entered the city did not fight on the spot with the defenders. They continued to charge. They galloped across the board, whipping fire whips at all the undead they saw. The wooden buildings were set on fire, and the walking corpses moved slowly amid the burning, and finally fell down. Burnt into huddled black coals.
The wave of fire swept toward the interior of the fortress along with the burning cavalry.
The ghost dragon and vampire who entered the fortress early drove straight in from the air and headed straight for the fortress in the middle of the fortress.
Helot led the Death Legion to arrive last. He did not lead the team to charge at the city wall that was set ablaze by the Burning Cavalry, but instead rushed towards the gate of the Rottenwood Fortress.
The vampire team responsible for the response took advantage of the chaos and killed the guards at the city gate. When the city gate opened, Helot led the death army to rumble through the city gate and run along the middle avenue toward the fortress at the end.
Helot shouted in the legion channel: "Don't stop, no matter what you encounter, don't stop. Leave this to the Burning Cavalry, our battlefield is inside the fortress! The vampires have already rushed in, support them, kill them Hansal’s mummy!”
The fortress is getting closer and closer. It is the only stone building in the entire fortress, and inside is Hansal and his personal guards. The Fourth Vampire Squadron, led by Monte, has already invaded the fortress, and the command system of the Rottenwood Fortress has been completely cut off.
It may be difficult to defeat Hansal quickly with just a thousand vampires.
Over the fortress, the ghost dragon was hovering there. Ferolo listened to Helot's words, "Just put curses in the sky and don't fight on the ground. Your mission is to let both warring parties see you flying in the sky. .”
Helot led the Death Army to the fortress, and all the players dismounted and rushed toward the collapsed fortress gate with a roar.
As the legion commander, Hailot rushed to the front. After entering the fortress hall, he was faced with a large group of zombies guarding here. These walking corpses were all wearing chainmail armor, iron helmets on their heads, holding a machete in their hands, and their faces were covered with green blisters.
“It’s the Poison Zombie that evolved from the Walking Dead! Be careful with the corpse poison and avoid melee combat! Necromancers, release all the summons!”
The Poison Zombie saw the intruders entering the fortress, He rushed forward with staggering steps and a crooked body.
Helot waved his hand and summoned a large group of skeletons, and then waved his hand to summon the modified corpse flower and poisonous vines. Other necromancer players also summoned skeletons and other undead summons, and pushed these cannon fodder forward toward the poisonous zombies in the fortress.
The blisters on the attacked poison corpse's face exploded, green venom splashed everywhere, and poisonous mist spread.
Fortunately, there are undead summons to hold up the front, and players who are not necromancers in the back can only use magic and combat skills to cover the front with firepower.
As more and more players poured into the hall, the firepower output became more and more fierce. The poisonous zombies could not break through the dense skeletons, but were harvested row by row by the surging magic combat skills. The undead defenders in the fast hall were slaughtered.
Helot commanded on the legion channel: "Drunk with a thousand cups, you lead the eight-armed ape battalion through the left corridor to attack the left fort. With one or two bones, you lead the evil bone Lingran battalion through the right corridor and attack the right fort. , others follow me to attack the main building. Don’t be brave after discovering Hansal, and wait for support first.
When you see the vampire being besieged, give priority to rescue, do you understand? ”
"Understood!"
"Up!"
The Death Army divided its forces in the hall, and Helot led the team along the stairs of the hall to attack the second floor of the fortress.
On the second floor, scenes of battles between vampires and defenders began to appear. The arrival of players greatly reduced the pressure on the vampires.
Players rescue the vampire and then join forces to kill them through the second floor.
I rushed to the third floor and saw the mummy.
Mummies are advanced forms evolved from walking corpses. They are wrapped in thick shrouds and hold the Pharaoh's staff in both hands. It no longer moves as slowly as a walking zombie, has strong defense and attack power, and can release poison-attribute spells and curses.
Except for not being able to fly, its overall combat capability is comparable to that of a vampire.
Therefore, the vampire's attack was blocked by the mummy here, and the two sides fought an evenly matched war of attrition.
