; Lin plans to make people eat bugs. WWw. QUanbEn-xIAoShUo. COmThere is no way around this. Seeing the war spread throughout the continent, it would take at most three years. All countries will be involved in the war of the Holy See. By then, it will be even more difficult to buy food than it is now. Without stable logistics, why fight
The soldiers in the city didn't know that Salin was worried about their food. Salin quietly adjusted their diet to increase the proportion of fish and shrimp. The nutrition of this food was no worse than that of beef and mutton. It was just a question of whether the taste was suitable.
Saleen arranged a team of 20,000 people on each of the two city walls. Metatlin's city wall is special and extremely thick. Don't expect to use magic or divine magic to blast the couch. The upper half of the city wall is a building composed of Dante's sequence. The style is different from any other country on the continent of Mels.
A labyrinth-like corridor, a rectangular stone building, sixty meters thick from front to back. The urn inside the city gate is divided into two floors and occupies a width of several hundred meters. Even the small gate has not forgotten this construction method. This can understand why it took Salin so long to build the city wall. He has tens of thousands of undead as coolies.
These undead people help him build the city day and night. This part of the city wall is the most time-consuming.
People can live on the top of the city. Not to mention 20,000 people can live in an eight-mile wall, even a hundred thousand people can live there. There is a horse track in the city, which leads diagonally to the thirty-meter city wall of Gotha.
Salin originally wanted to build a higher wall. It's not that he can't do it, but the city wall is built too high. You will pass the magic tower.
The magic tower is six meters high on the first floor and 54 meters high on the ninth floor. Only the city wall of Holy Rock City can be built over 100 meters, but that is because Holy Rock City itself is carved out of the mountain, and the height of the base is not less than 60 meters.
The thirty-meter-high city wall can be climbed with a ladder. There were heavy casualties. Broken Blade Pass was not defended because Salin did not send too many mages. He did not want the mages to be damaged there.
The wall connecting Tatlin City was built to be thicker than high, and was actually a jumble of houses eight miles long.
The city head is fifty meters wide, and on the outside is a ten-meter-wide horse path and a fortress for soldiers. If the enemy scales the top of the city, they may face a cavalry attack from the top of the city.
The cavalry charged horizontally on the horse road, and the infantry who climbed up the city wall could not organize a formation defense at all. There is a magic fort in the city, and the trebuchets on it are protected by the magic circle and are difficult to destroy each other.
There is no magic tower in the city, and the only building similar to the magic tower is Saleen's temple. It's just that the temple is located in a remote location, about five miles away from the city wall. There is no link with the magic tower in the middle, so it won't have any offensive effect for the time being.
Fortunately, Saleen had many low-level mages in his hands. They were all left behind by Rex. All the mid-level mages were taken away by Rex, and this low-level mage became the main force in the battle.
Wait for the three kings to come back. Diabinas and Panchagana each took charge of one side, each commanding thousands of undead, mixed with soldiers to assist in defense.
Skeleton soldiers can shoot arrows. Anyway, at long distances, there is no need to consider accuracy. Moreover, the strength of the skeleton soldiers will not be exhausted. Saleen prepared a large number of inferior bows and arrows for the skeleton soldiers to use. These bows and arrows are not powerful enough to shoot extremely far. The accuracy is pathetic and only suitable for coverage scattering. Fifty undead warriors were arranged every two hundred meters. Of course, these undead warriors are not as good as death knights, but Salin equipped the undead warriors with heavy armor, and it is still very easy to attack the infantry at the top of the city.
In the midst of intense preparations for the war, tens of thousands more people poured into Metatlin City, all of whom were subjects of the nearby nobles. From Broken Blade Pass to Metatlin. There is still more than a hundred miles away, and there are many villages and fortresses on this land. Saleen has issued the final order for these nobles to take refuge in the city. Their fortress could not stop the Holy See's army at all.
These nobles had to obey because they had not settled in Metatrin City for too short a time and had not yet recruited enough soldiers. The number of residents is also small, so a small fortress is easy to defend, but it lacks manpower and cannot hold it for a day in the face of the attack of a large army.
The expeditionary force rested at Broken Edge Pass for three days before setting out again. The forwards had already swept through the Metatlin Plains, but failed to grab any food. They also encountered a blockage in West Town. A flag regiment of Rex came out from West Town with thousands of mercenaries and attacked the Holy See's 3,000 light cavalry from the side.
Rex's flag regiment was all wearing triple armor. Although it is not a heavy cavalry, its impact is almost the same.
As for the less than 4,000 mercenaries, they were just following behind, with hundreds of them deployed on both wings, forming a double-team, as if one of Rex's heavy flag regiments was a blade. The more than three thousand mercenaries were like steel with blades between them.
This impact was like a strong swordsman sweeping a person's neck with a long sword, and with a click, the three thousand cavalrymen of the expeditionary force were cut off in the middle. The blow was crisp and clean. There was no chance for the expeditionary force to change its formation. Not many enemies were killed, only about 200. Most of the expeditionary troops were only hit by crossbows and suffered minor injuries.
However, Rex's flag group fought back and came back. This time, they had long guns in their hands. After a short charge, another piece of flesh was torn off the flank of the enemy cavalry, and more than two hundred people were killed. Rex's flag regiment then walked away. Two fights. Nearly five hundred men were lost. For the forward cavalry of three thousand people. Definitely a big hit.
Those who wanted to pursue, but did not have Rex, were familiar with the terrain. In the narrow area, the mercenaries threw down the caltrops and sharp antlers they carried, reducing the speed of the cavalry to the extreme. At this time, the cavalry of the expeditionary force were alert. This was not the Tangulas Empire.
When Salin's magician who was ambushing in the hilly area saw this scene, the three kings sighed. If they and others cooperated, all three thousand cavalry would be lost here. But the order Salin gave them was to attack the large force behind the cavalry. The vanguard of the Holy See Expeditionary Force was led by light cavalry, followed by 10,000 people.
The three kings wanted to attack these ten thousand people and leave the battlefield before the large troops behind them arrived.
The forward of the expeditionary force retreated, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it joins the 10,000 troops behind and enters the Xizhen area. Panchagana flew to the battlefield. He grabbed a dead body casually, sniffed it, and looked a little unhappy.
Seeing Panchagana coming back with a dead body in his hand, the other two undead kings also smelled a strange aura. It smells like a god. No, because there are some evil things that are beyond the scope of the rules.
"These people" the three kings looked at each other. He looked at the soldiers behind him.
Soldiers are recruited by nobles, and Salin's five battalions do not accept everyone. Some of these soldiers have good combat effectiveness, but they are older. All were abandoned. There was no place for them in the regular army, so they took refuge in the nobility.
Judy Koko said: "Let's go back, there is no need to ambush."
The officer leading the human soldiers was very embarrassed. But they didn't dare to talk to the three undead kings. Judy Koko casually released an undead magic. This undead magic acted on the corpse, and the corpse exploded with a snap.
Diabinas also shook his head, inside this corpse. With the effect of divine magic, undead magic can no longer take advantage of it. This situation is more serious than it was at the beginning. When the expeditionary force first entered Phoenix, the soldiers' health was not so serious.
Thousands of troops lying in wait in the hills retreated. Only a small number of Caucasians and barbarians were left to continue to observe the enemy's situation. Judy Koko flew to the battlefield, destroyed all the corpses, and turned them into a pile of rotting flesh before leading the army back to Metatrin City.
Judy Koko came to see Salin in person, and he was also afraid of forcing Abinas or Panchagana to say something wrong. Annoying Saleen. He didn't refuse to carry out the order. But this order no longer makes much sense. In the temple, Judy Koko felt an inexplicable pressure. Salin was only a sixth-level mage. Even though the God of Progress shouldn't put pressure on the king-level undead, right
Judy Koko did not think about it carefully. He said to Salin: "There is a problem with the soldiers of the Holy See Expeditionary Force. Neither corpse explosion nor corpse soldier magic can be used on their corpses."
"Oh? I don't know much about necromancy and divine magic. Just wait a minute." Salin said. He ordered someone to call Naniya, and then continued to ask Zhu Bo Keke.
“What the hell is going on, you didn’t stage an ambush?.
"The soldiers of the expeditionary force were affected by a vicious magical spell. I don't know what it is specifically. However, within a year, these soldiers' combat abilities were forcibly improved and their physical fitness was also strengthened. No matter how serious the injuries were, They can recover quickly under the influence of divine magic."
Narnia nodded and said: "There is indeed such a magic, but it is at the cost of consuming the lives of soldiers."
"Yes, when I was at the border, I could still use the soldiers I killed, but now I can't. It's less than a month. In other words, the magic hidden in the soldiers' bodies is added slowly. I estimate that these soldiers, even if we don't kill them, will not survive for half a year, and the shortest life span may be two or three months."
Salin took a breath of air. The life span of Tanggulas people is slightly shorter, but they can still reach ten years old. The average age of the expeditionary force is no more than thirty-five years old. The Holy See condenses the next forty or fifty years of life of these soldiers to unleash a powerful combat effectiveness. Even if these people occupy Metatrin City, they will die quickly.
What could be more cruel than this? For their faith, these soldiers traveled more than 20,000 miles and came to Metatlin. The results of it? before they set off for the expedition. His fate was already determined, and he was going to die in a foreign country.
"Where's the main army
"I have no contact. There are sword masters in the main army. There are also magicians above level eight. I don't want to take risks." Judy Koko answered honestly. The sun is shining, the books are hanging and the umbrellas are drying
