Chapter 137 The Perfect Attack Combination
When Helot rode a ghost horse and led the death army to the assembly area, the open plains were already occupied by the troops on standby.
As the main assault force in this assault, the Burning Cavalry formed three square formations horizontally, suppressing the flames and restraining their momentum. From the outside, they just look like an ordinary skeleton riding an ordinary skeleton horse.
The Terror Knight Howl leads one hundred armor-piercing heroic burning cavalry to stand at the forefront.
Behind the Burning Cavalry are a hundred blue mages, most of whom have experienced the last infiltration operation in the Rock Wilderness and are already familiar with cooperating with the Burning Cavalry and vampires. They still wear baggy blouses to hide their appearance and identity. The Azure Society and the Seven Consuls are in a state of hostility, and the cooperation between the two parties in Scorched Earth City cannot yet be made public.
Next is the Fourth Squadron of the Vampire Guards.
After returning from the Rock Wilderness last time, Dorotea specially gave resources to the fourth squadron. Not only were they rewarded with a lot of magic equipment, but they were also supplemented by vampires with considerable strength. Although the Fourth Squadron is still a thousand vampires now, its overall strength has been upgraded to a higher level.
Finally, there is the army of death brought by Helot. Players ride on various undead mounts and can barely form an orderly queue. In contrast, the lax discipline was completely destroyed by the NPC army.
The current Death Army can only fight with the wind, and if it goes against the wind, it may be swept away without knowing the direction.
But no army in the world knows how to fight right after it is established. A strong army is built battle by battle.
Let's use this war to honor the Legion of Death.
A bat flew from the southern sky, circled over the Death Legion array, and then swooped down towards Helot.
When approaching the ground, the bat transformed into a vampire: "Master Bone Broken, the army in Broken Woodland is less than five kilometers away from the stone accumulation area. The main force is walking corpses and skeletons, numbering 80,000."
Eighty thousand walking corpses and skeletons, this is because they don’t want to give Scorched Earth City time to intervene, so they need to move all this batch of stones into the Broken Woodland in a short time.
The Rotten Wood Fortress sent so many soldiers to grab the rocks, so there shouldn’t be many soldiers inside.
Just give you this time difference.
Helot ordered: "Inform General Howl, and the entire army will enter the Broken Woodland and go straight to the Rottenwood Fortress. Do not fight when encountering obstacles, and pass as quickly as possible. Within six hours, I want to see To the Rottenwood Fortress."
"Yes, Master Bonebreaker."
The vampire turned into a bat and flew towards the army's forward.
Soon, the Burning Cavalry moved. Under the leadership of Howl, they changed into a four-column marching formation, pulled out a long cavalry column and rushed towards the Broken Woodland.
Helot raised his hand, and a dragon's roar filled with vicissitudes of life came down from the sky.
Dragon!
The players who heard the sound all looked into the air.
Then I saw a special undead dragon that was pale and translucent under the light, swooping down from high altitude. Its length and wingspan reached more than twenty meters, and its roars were shocking to the soul.
What kind of dragon is this?
Judging from the reactions of the NPCs, it seems that this undead dragon belongs to our own camp.
Just when the players were guessing the origin of this dragon.
The undead dragon swooping down at high speed changed to flying horizontally above the player array. This time the players can clearly see that the undead dragon has clear identification marks on its body.
What shocked the players even more was... after the majestic undead dragon continued to lower its height, it gently patted it with its dragon claws and the raised hand of the Bone Crusher Legion.
Then the undead dragon quickly raised its height and flew towards the front of the military column. "Legion Commander, is this the dragon you raised?"
"Hahaha, yes!"
"The legion commander is mighty! What kind of undead dragon is this?"
"Hahaha, ghost dragon!"
"Legion Commander, add this ghost dragon to our military flag."
"Hahaha, you can consider it!"
"Legion Commander, can I take a photo with your dragon?"
"Hahaha... I'll let you take all the photos you can after the Broken Woodland is conquered. "
"Legion Commander, why don't you ride on the dragon? You are so majestic!"
"...Stop asking! The Death Legion enters the Broken Woodland, move forward!"
The Death Legion players divided into four columns and rushed into the Broken Woodland.
The assault on the Broken Woodlands has officially begun!
The defenders in the Broken Woodland also immediately discovered the invading army.
Then the garrison camps in the forest immediately entered a state of war. While they relied on the woods to lay out layer-by-layer defenses, they sent messengers to report the enemy's situation to Rottenwood Fortress.
In the normal undead war mode, the attacking side pushed flatly by the army cannot get around the woodland blocking the way. Troops must be sent into the forest to fight with the defenders, and the defenders' camps and strongholds built inside must be pulled out one by one, and the camps must be advanced step by step.
The undead have the time and the strength to fight this kind of steady war of attrition. Once they hit a place, they occupy it. This is the characteristic of the undead war. Even if the undead sometimes engage in some surprise attacks, they are all for the main battlefield, and they almost never use risky surprise attacks as the main means to win the war.
Therefore, the strategies of the undead garrison camps scattered in the forest in the Broken Woodland when facing an invasion are not wrong. This kind of defense, even if faced with the Scorched Earth City's all-out attack, would still give Dorotea a hard time and wait for the support from other lords to arrive.
However, Broken Woodland faced a troop type that had never been seen in the Land of Death.
The Burning Cavalry is a highly mobile unit. It and the Vampire form a complementary open space combination. The vampires are responsible for aerial reconnaissance and guide the Burning Cavalry in the direction of attack; the Burning Cavalry is responsible for launching the fastest and most violent attack on unprepared enemies.
This combination can quickly annihilate enemies that have been defeated. When faced with an enemy that cannot be defeated, you can discover and dodge in advance.
The undead do not have much logistical requirements, and the burning cavalry and vampires can independently complete long-term and ultra-long-distance running operations.
The Rottenwood Fortress is nearly 150 kilometers away from the border. Counting the detours in between, the attacking army has to reach the Rottenwood Fortress within six hours. It cannot be delayed by any obstacles in the middle. The time when the obstruction appears.
So the defenders who were waiting for the invaders to attack at the forest camp were surprised to find that the invaders completely ignored the woods around them. These skeletons rode skeleton horses quickly through the open space between the woods. They did not make any counterattacks in the face of sporadic attacks in the woods, and only kept moving forward.
In the sky, a large number of vampire-turned-bats flew over the forest land, and a strange-looking undead dragon flew in the higher airspace.
Faced with such an army that did not attack the forest, the undead defenders in the forest camp did not know how to respond. After a moment of hesitation, the army rushed past the forest and rushed to the next area. woodland.
The vampires who provided air cover for the attacking legions killed the ghost messengers sent to the Rottenwood Fortress from the forest camp.
The mummy lord Hansal is in his fortress, thinking about how to strengthen his fortress after grabbing this batch of stones.
