Chapter 340 A Counterattack (4000)
The war on the ice field was extremely fierce, and the number of cold demons on the periphery exceeded three thousand. And as the cold demons from the depths of the polar regions arrive one after another, their number will increase.
The cold demon's tactics are simple and crude, using ice-attribute magic to continuously bomb the defense line of the undead army. The undead guarding the entrance of the base can only resist the fierce magic attack of the cold demon. Even with the necromancers behind to provide spell support, the low-level undead on the front line are still being consumed.
The consumption rate exceeds the production rate of the Old Cemetery and the Old Land, and it will not last long if we fight like this.
Helot patrols the battlefield from the air.
Soon I realized that the Han Demon's offensive seemed very fierce, but its will to attack was not determined. Most of them choose to use ice magic to launch long-range attacks, and few dare to rush in even if they risk their lives. Even the long-range attacks are very casual, with neither fixed-point saturation attacks nor large-scale combined magic.
And because they were in an "absolute offensive", after the cold demons exhausted their own magic power, they ran to the rear camp to rest and recover their magic power, without any warning about what was behind them.
It can be seen from this that these cold demons come from different tribes, do not belong to each other, and are fighting on their own.
Because they are fighting on their own, they don’t want to make too many sacrifices on the battlefield, and plan to use magic attacks to consume all the undead. Anyway, the undead are trapped in the base inside the mountain and will be wiped out sooner or later.
Top individual combat effectiveness, extremely stretched combat qualities.
In war, not only is magic power wasted, but all magic power must be released before retreating to rest.
Low-level tribal society.
The cold demon's psychological advantage must be eliminated before they can be forced to the negotiating table.
After inspecting the battlefield, Hailot returned to the entrance of the base and said to Veron, who was commanding the defense: "We are going to fight a counterattack."
Beron had long seen the existence of the cold monsters. Question: "There has been no Cold Demon appearing over the Glacier Canyon. It seems that they do not know the entrance to this secret base. At night, let Howl lead a part of the Burning Cavalry to sneak out of the Glacier Canyon and go around behind the Cold Demon to wait for the attack signal.
I have discovered the pattern of the cold demon attacking in shifts. When the attacking cold demon has exhausted its magic power and goes back to rest, and the attacking cold demon has not yet reached its position, I ordered the crawling ice figurines to launch an offensive to attract the cold demon's attention. , Howl can launch an attack from behind the cold demon at this time.
After the chaos behind the Cold Demon, I led another part of the Burning Cavalry to rush out from the base and fight with Howl. After a round of counterattack, Howl led his Burning Cavalry directly into the base. I took my Burning Cavalry and dived deep into the ice sheet, looking for an opportunity to return from the glacier canyon.
Han Yao suffered a loss and thought that we had an army ambushing outside, so he would not dare to attack so unscrupulously again. ”
Helot didn’t expect that as soon as he proposed a counterattack, Veron came up with a comprehensive counterattack plan.
He is worthy of being a general who followed his ancestors to fight.
< br>
However, Helot still has his own opinion: "Defending the base is the focus of this war. When the counterattack begins, you stay and continue to command the defense. I will lead the Burning Cavalry to attack and cross with Howl."
Veron said worriedly: "Master, although the success rate of counterattack is high, there is still great danger. Please let me lead the Burning Cavalry to attack."
Helot said: "I can't command it. With such a complex defensive system, once a big mistake occurs, the counterattack will be meaningless. On the contrary, it is easier for me to charge and stay in the position where you are needed most, so that Han Yao can see an impeccable defense. , recognizing that this is a war they cannot win. "
The undead army can rely on low-level undead to block the cold demon and cannot move forward. Veron's command is crucial. He can accurately discover the weak areas of the defense system and decisively send troops to supplement; he can detect the enemy's offensive rhythm, make full use of his own spell-casting units, and minimize his own losses in the magic confrontation.
The cold demon did not dare to rush in at all costs, even if it was frightened by the fixed-point magic fire launched by Beron. Even the mistress of the cold demon did not dare to be exposed to such a magic bombing.
Veron's overall view and subtle operations in defensive battles are both art.
Helot didn't dare to stand in such a critical position. A breakthrough at one point might bring about the collapse of the entire defense line.
He pressed Veron on the defensive command and must not move.
Then he summoned Howl, and the five thousand elite Burning Cavalry were divided into two.
After dark, Howl led three thousand Burning Cavalry to leave the base from the glacier canyon. After reaching the ground, the Burning Cavalry made a large circle to the back of the cold demon. The traces on the road were cleaned by the necromancer who specially broke up the rear. This path is vital and must not be exposed.
Helot led two thousand burning cavalry on standby inside the base.
While waiting, he did not go to see Melis, nor did he send his subordinates to inquire about the progress of the operation.
At this time, no news is good news, which means the operation is still in progress.
Winning this counterattack is the most important thing now. It depends on whether he can take Melis back to the ice castle. Therefore, you cannot let anything disturb your mind. Life and death... will be revealed at the end. There is no need to get entangled in the process.
On the battlefield outside, the explosions caused by the magic confrontation gradually became sparse.
The first line of cold demons who use magic to attack have bottomed out their magic power, and they will soon be replaced. The cold demons with sufficient magic power will take over and continue to use magic to attack.
The time has come to fight back.
Veron's order came in, and Helot rode a ghost horse and led the Burning Cavalry out of the base and entered the starting position.
Outside the base, Veron took advantage of the time when the intensity of the confrontation dropped to create a twenty-meter passage on the zombie embankment. Helot's cavalry entered the passage. The thickness of the zombie embankment in front was only three meters, and nothing unusual could be seen from the outside.
This is also Beron's carefully selected attack area. The frequency of attacks in this area is much lower than other places. It can be judged that the attacking cold demons from outside belong to two tribes. There is a high probability that the two cold demon tribes have conflicts, and neither of them wants the magic they release to fall in the attack zone of the other party.
Passing through the junction of these two cold demon tribes, the risk factor will definitely be smaller!
The offensive magic is becoming more and more sparse, the cold demons who have exhausted their magic power retreat, and the cold demons who replace them enter the front-line battlefield.
The entire alternation process is extremely random and disorderly, which shows that the cold demons believe that the undead will only passively defend and will not fight back.
Behind the cold demon, Howl led three thousand burning cavalry to the offensive position. They formed three arrow-shaped attack arrays and attacked the cold demon from three directions: the center and the two wings.
After the counterattack was completed, Hall led the burning cavalry in the middle to enter the base with Veron's support. The other two lines of Burning Cavalry completed the interlude, turned around to cover the flanks of the Burning Cavalry led by Helot, and all the way back to the base through the glacier canyon.
This counterattack does not require results. After all, the opponent is a cold demon whose minimum strength can reach the extraordinary level one, and there are many who can reach the extraordinary level three.
Start quickly and end quickly, without giving the cold demon time to react.
Howl rode the Black Spirit Horse and stood at the forefront of the Burning Cavalry in the middle. He and all the Burning Cavalry extinguished the flames on their bodies. The pale skeletons spread on the white ice field do not look too eye-catching.
Hold the horse-killing sword in his hand, looking at the sky above the battlefield with the soul fire in his eye sockets. A signal bomb was shot high into the sky with its tail flames trailing behind it. After exploding, it shot out a large amount of fireworks, which contained the message of attack.
Howl raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Burning Cavalry! Fire offensive!"
Three thousand Burning Cavalry ignited the flames on their bodies together, forming three sharp arrows pointing to the battlefield on the dark ice field. Then the horses' hooves galloped, and the high temperature sublimated the ice on the ground, forming a large white frost mist behind the Burning Cavalry.
The earth shook, and the sea of fire illuminated the dark night, and also illuminated the panicked faces of the cold monsters.
They could not imagine why so many undead appeared behind them, and rushed in front of them as soon as they appeared.
The cold demon, who had exhausted his magic power, squeezed out the last bit of his magic power and buried himself in the spherical igloo.
The burning cavalry rushed over, and the flames and horse hooves trampled the igloo which was not strong enough. The burning cavalry who followed up severely whipped the cold monsters with fire whips, knocking them to the ground and rolling, trampling them with horse hooves, and roasting them with fire. .
Three groups of burning cavalry crashed into the sparse cold demon camp from three directions. Some of the panicked cold demons ran away, some hid, and some used protective spells to resist the impact of the cavalry. Very few A cold demon thought of stopping the cavalry.
The chaos in the Han Demon camp caused the front-line attacking Han Demon to shift his attention behind him. They didn't know what was happening in the camp. They only saw the darkness cut into the sky by the fire.
The second magic flare takes off.
A gap opened in the zombie embankment, and Helot led the burning cavalry to step over the walking corpses that could not dodge, and swarmed out of the zombie embankment.
All the Burning Cavalry set themselves on fire the moment they rushed out of the embankment mouth, and automatically divided into three attack formations as they galloped forward.
Before the first-line cold demon could react, he bumped into it.
On the walking corpse embankment, a large number of crawling ice figurines came forward, and the ice mass was "bayoned" against the front line of the cold demon, and dropped the crawling ice figurines towards the cold demon camp. Ice cone waterfalls splashed over the Han Demon camp, and the Cold Demon had no energy to stop the burning cavalry.
Helot led a group of burning cavalry to charge. The flaming red ribbon was draped on Silver Armor's shoulders, and fireworks erupted, swinging a huge fire tail.
Like a formation of burning cavalry, the cold demon in front was frightened and fled in a panic. If it couldn't escape, it made a solid spherical igloo for itself and lay inside.
Helot stretched out his hand and flew out the perfect sword, spinning in the air and slashing at the igloo blocking the way in front of him.
The thick igloo did not block the Perfect Blade. It cut through the middle of the igloo so fast that it caused almost no visible damage, but blood seeped out from the cracks.
In front of the sea of fire offensive, the burning cavalry galloping together have an absolute advantage over the lone cold demon. Wherever the hoofs of fire trample, few cold demons can survive such an attack.
The six burning cavalry formations cut through the middle of the cold demon camp like six sharp blades. After staggering, they rushed through each other, and then each ran towards the planned direction.
The cold demons were left in a daze.
Even though the Burning Cavalry had the upper hand in the attack, Helot and Howl did not look back and kill them again.
Howl brought a thousand Burning Cavalry with him, and under the protection arranged by Veron, returned to the base through the gap opened by the zombie embankment. Veron immediately rearranged his defenses and replaced the troops he had diverted for the counterattack.
After Helot gathered four thousand Burning Cavalry, he turned off the engine and ran away from the battlefield. Then, after turning around a few times, he withdrew the Burning Cavalry in batches through the glacier canyon and into the base.
However, he still left five hundred burning cavalry to keep moving on the ice sheet. The traces they left could cover up the traces near the glacier canyon, and also let the cold demon know that there was a powerful mobile force that could threaten at any time. behind them.
Helot returned to the polar base, and the stunned Han Demon did not launch an attack all night.
Veron released the ghost to investigate and found that the cold demon had shrunk.
It seems that the effect of this counterattack is very good, and the cold demons are frightened. The devastating charge of the Burning Cavalry was enough for the cold demon to imagine the combat power of this undead in an exaggerated direction.
The advantage of strong offensive ability is perfectly displayed, and the defensive weakness is well hidden.
With this heavy bargaining chip, we can bring the cold demons to the negotiating table.
Helot sent a ghost messenger to express his desire for peace talks to the cold demon.
The cold demons also responded quickly.
The Cold Demon Matrons are willing to talk.
It can be seen that the counterattack last night caused a lot of damage to them, and the current situation is that they are surrounded by the undead.
At least that’s what the cold demons think.
The sun illuminates the polar regions, and the war leaves the ice sheet riddled with holes.
The negotiation location was set in the middle of the formations of both sides. Helot and Howl rode down the zombie embankment, followed by a hundred armor-piercing hero-level burning cavalry. The flames burning on their bodies formed a flame barrier that could still burn brightly despite the suppression of polar ice elements.
Seven mistresses came from the Cold Demon side, headed by Mistress Keshiya who had encountered Helot twice.
Helot jumped off the ghost horse.
Mother Keshiya waved her hand and spread out a piece of ice light, and the layers of ice were stacked to form a long table made of ice. The matrons sat down behind the ice table, and ice seats automatically formed behind them.
Helot smiled and stretched out his hand to summon the "Old Codex".
The "Old Code" spewed out black smoke and used death energy to construct a bone table that connected with the ice tables of the matrons. Then a luxurious bone chair was made for Herot, and it floated next to Herot. The pages of the book were slowly turned, and there was fire coming out of it, making it look like it was being held in one's mouth.
Helot sat down on the bone chair: "I have no intention of disturbing the peace of the Pole! This time I led the undead army deep into the Pole because my enemy used the shelter given to him by the Pole to attack me and my Friends.
If the cold demons feel that this entry is an offense to you, I apologize to you and am willing to take my undead away from the pole."
Mother Keshiya sneered. : "Is the Pole a place where you can come and leave whenever you want? Only by eliminating all invaders can we stop outsiders from coveting the Pole and restore peace to the Pole!"
