When the leading troops of the Alliance army passed through the city gate of Sek City, what they saw was a large number of skeleton warriors pouring out from different corners. The well-prepared phalanx infantry immediately received the order from their commanders. The long spears that had been raised high were brought down in unison, forming a tight formation of spears.
The combat effectiveness of ordinary skeleton warriors is simply not as good as that of rigorously trained elite human warriors, not to mention that what they have to face is a sea of spears prepared by human warriors. The sharp spear blades reflecting the sunlight are enough to shred any incoming enemy. Without special means, not to mention these undead skeletons that can be knocked down in one blow, even the orcs whose individual combat capabilities far exceed those of humans would never be able to cross such an infantry phalanx without an absolute advantage in strength.
With the protection of these spear warriors, Barbara's magic army that entered the city later had time to cast spells. Under Barbara's order, these magic apprentices from Cassano began to recite magic spells quickly. , they completed their tasks seriously according to their respective responsibilities. Soon, thirty fireballs appeared in the sky, flying towards the target set by Barbara, followed by bursts of huge explosions and soaring into the sky. When the thick fog cleared, a large number of civilian houses blocking the left side of the Alliance army turned into ruins, and many undead warriors hidden in them also disappeared.
Barbara's intention is simple. She wants to open up as much space as possible in the occupied city gate area so that more follow-up troops can be stationed here, and then attack various areas of Seike City through here. , different from civil wars between humans, what the Alliance army is facing now are undead that have no humanity and only know how to kill. It is impossible to disintegrate the enemy's fighting spirit by occupying the conference hall and other means. The only way is to completely eliminate these evil creatures. ,
After encountering continuous magical attacks from humans, the undead warriors guarding the city gate area suffered heavy losses, and a large number of buildings in this area were also cleared away and turned into large tracts of ruins. There will no longer be any undead. The soldiers are hidden in it, and with a little cleaning, it can be used by the alliance's follow-up troops. This result made Sidney, the infantry commander of Jonas Legion, very happy.
As the most powerful infantry commander of the Third Army in the Imperial City, Sidney and his colleagues, Brento, the cavalry commander of Jonas Army, have been secretly competing for the vacant deputy commander position. This position was originally occupied by Jonas. Nas left it to Ryan, but it was obvious that the overlord Cassano, who was a legendary mage, could still condescend to be this small deputy commander. Therefore, the two infantry and cavalry members of the Third Army who were most likely to occupy this position were The commander-in-chief naturally started competition. However, due to the mobility advantage of the cavalry, Brento's performance completely suppressed Sidney in a series of battles such as the expedition to Mirror Lake, so this time Sidney held back his energy and wanted to do a good job. If you want to show your performance, it is best to take advantage of the opportunity of conquering Seike City to lay the foundation for your promotion in one fell swoop.
After occupying the city gate area, Sidney did not rush into other areas of Seike City. Instead, he waited for the follow-up troops to arrive one after another and completely controlled the area before following Barbara's suggestion. Dividing the troops at hand into squadrons of 1,000 men for a combined attack was Barbara's experience from the Battle of Moon City. Since the streets inside the city were crisscrossed and the buildings were complex, it was absolutely impossible to engage in large-scale combat like in the wild. Therefore, such a scale of thousands of people is the most suitable for this kind of urban street fighting.
Among the 1,000 people, there are 600 pike infantry. They will form the strongest line of defense to protect their comrades, while 50 shooters and 50 magic apprentices will help them provide long-range support, and 20 priests will be responsible for rescuing the wounded. As for the remaining The 280 warriors holding giant hammers below are responsible for frontal fighting. 16 such thousands-man teams soon entered various areas of Seike City. They will wipe out all the enemies they encounter along the way. If they encounter a large-scale If there is resistance, the magic apprentices will release fireball signals into the sky in order to get support from nearby colleagues as soon as possible.
The alliance army is advancing very fast. This is certainly because the human soldiers fought bravely, but it is also because the undead army's resistance is not fierce. However, it makes sense when you think about it. The entire city of Seike is very huge. If you want to engage in the most intense street fighting, There must be enough troops, but the main force of the undead army is not here. The ones left to guard the city are the undead transformed by the Lich Lord Nicholas using the "Undead Natural Disaster" forbidden spell. Most of these undead warriors were Saiyans during their lifetime. The ordinary citizens of Kecheng just had another life form after becoming skeletons, and their combat power did not increase much.
"Get closer, get closer." Infantry commander Sidney gave the order loudly. Thousands of various skeleton warriors suddenly appeared in front of his team. Their bodies exuded a putrid smell and were swaying. rushed towards Sidney,
"Fireball support." Barbara shouted loudly next to Sidney, and 50 magic apprentices chanted magic spells in unison, releasing 5 fireballs. The fireballs passed over the spears they held to form a spear formation. The warriors drew red tracks in the air and fell into the group of skeletons in the distance. When the flames exploded, they rolled up countless stumps and broken arms.
"Follow my orders, stab." Following Sidney's order, 600 long guns poked out one after another. This nearly three-meter-long war gun can reach the enemy at a longer distance. In addition, these The soldiers formed a spear formation, and the gaps between the spears were extremely small. Those skeleton warriors could not even think of passing through this metal barrier.
"Listen to my order, the gun array will separate to the left and right, leaving a passage for the giant hammer warriors to attack." Sidney issued a series of orders. Although the gun array can block the enemy's attack, the only way to completely kill them is to It is not an easy task to crush skeleton warriors with bones or many rotten limbs. At this time, those warriors holding huge hammers need to crush these damn bones with all their strength. Only in this way can these undead be truly eliminated. of undead creatures,
Sidney and the others originally used 600 spear warriors to form a phalanx as a human fortress to protect their comrades, but now he asked these spear warriors to create a gap in an organized manner, so that the skeletons would rush into the phalanx along this gap. Inside, the giant hammer warriors who have been waiting for a long time will turn them into bone powder on both sides of this deliberately given up passage. Although this is a bit troublesome, it can rely on cooperation to reduce one's own casualties to the minimum level, and This is indeed the case. Sidney and the others have been fighting all the way up to now. They have eliminated at least tens of thousands of skeleton warriors. However, in his thousand-man team, less than 10 people were injured, and only 2 of them actually died of their injuries. The others All survived after receiving timely treatment and exorcism from the priest.
"Haha, good job." Seeing that more than a thousand undead were slowly killed by his own team of thousands, while he was unharmed, Sidney laughed proudly, but his laughter did not How long did it last, because he suddenly felt the earth shaking, and then a wailing sound came from the collapsed ruins beside the road,
"Bang." Countless rubble flew across the sky, and a huge mass of bloody undead creature rushed out from under the ruins. Its body was as wide as ten adult men, and its skin surface was even more uneven. Parts are all assembled from human heads. This assembled monster is tall, at least over 5 meters, and it has a total of eight arms, and each arm is several times thicker than a normal adult. From then on Judging from the stitching marks on it, these arms are definitely made of blood.
"Roar." A strong rancid smell drifted along with the howl. Sidney felt that he was in a sewer that had not been washed for a century. The rotten smell almost made him lose the ability to eat last night. All the food that went down was vomited out, but Sidney was one of the best commanders in the imperial capital after all. He resisted the urge to vomit and repeatedly called on his soldiers to get closer together as much as possible to resist the impact of this behemoth.
"Archers, use kerosene, use kerosene."
After hearing Commander Sidney's order, the 50 archers took out their arrows with linen wrapped around them. The linen had been soaked in kerosene for more than 3 days and would continue to burn as long as it was ignited. If it goes down, even if it rains, as long as the rainfall is not heavy, there is no way to stop it.
Soon, these fire arrows were ignited and launched. As expected, the elite archers from the imperial capital hit the target with perfect accuracy. The 50 burning arrows immediately turned the huge assembled monster into a hedgehog. The burning fire oil was extremely hot and soon The flesh and blood of the assembled monster's arrow-hit part were burned to pieces, exposing the white bones inside. There was also a burning smell in the air.
The assembled monster wailed and rushed towards the human phalanx. However, although its body was huge, it did not mean that it had no flaws. When the fire arrow shot through its thigh completely burned the bones, the assembled monster lost its support and suddenly became heavy. It fell to the ground, causing the earth to tremble. The fallen assembled monster struggled desperately for a few times, but unfortunately it could not stand up at all. Soon its entire body was burned by those fire arrows. Turned into a pile of coke,
"Haha, go to hell, bastard." Infantry commander Sidney cursed excitedly. Not only would doing this in the army not arouse everyone's disgust, but it would make people think that such an officer is more approachable, but Sidney He quickly shut his mouth in embarrassment because he remembered that there were Ryan's students and priests from the Church of Light standing next to him. These people were high-ranking figures to the soldiers in the army. Not this time. Zheng, it is impossible for them to come into contact with these enviable existences at such a close distance.
"It's okay. In fact, I also wanted to scold him because it really stinks." Barbara saw the embarrassment on Sidney's face. She said with a smile, and then casually threw a fireball and hit it. Among the piles of burning flesh and blood, the fireball did not explode, but caused a more violent fire. At the same time, I don't know if it was because of the purification of the flames, but the burning smell in the air also became much lighter.
