Looking at the magician troops advancing rapidly in the air and the 30,000 heavy cavalry charging desperately on the ground, I smiled bitterly and led the remaining infantry to speed up. After all, they were the main force of the war behind. As long as I eliminated those undead troops, I would have to face the orc army outside the Canglang defense line. Then the task of defending the city wall would definitely require infantry.
Suddenly, a question suddenly occurred to me. If those necromancers were lucky enough to escape the canyon... then if they were scattered, it would be troublesome. So, I immediately summoned several senior mages and asked the magician unit to send a team to the canyon exit in front to surround those necromancers so that they could be captured in one fell swoop.
"My lord, you are so powerful! Such a large number of undead troops were wiped out by just one magic of yours... This is really incredible..." Seeing that I wiped out most of the undead army with just one magic, Mandela, the magician of the Kingdom of Yan and my deputy, also came over.
Before this, he was highly respected in the Kingdom of Yann, so he didn't think much of me, a rising little man. But for some reason, although he looked down on me, he still showed me considerable respect on the surface. Of course, it was only on the surface!
But at this moment, Mandela's tone of voice changed drastically. In addition to respect, he was more impressed. Perhaps all this was due to the holy light rain I had just cast.
"It's nothing. In fact, if someone else comes, as long as he is good enough at light magic, he can also deal a heavy blow to those damned undead. But then again, why do I feel that there are so few light magicians in the magician army of our Yan Kingdom?" I answered him without thinking after listening to Mandela's words. I even mentioned the fact that light magic can restrain undead magic that I just verified. After all, as long as these experienced and powerful magicians make inferences about this situation, they can quickly come to such a conclusion.
"Any light magician? Could it be that... could it be that you are saying that the undead are restrained by light magic? As long as it is light magic, it can cause powerful damage to the undead?" After hearing what I said, Mandela's eyes widened, and he was almost ready to rush up and grab me for questioning. After I nodded in affirmation to answer his words, Mandela turned around and flew towards the front of the canyon without looking back, as if there was a fire burning behind his butt.
Actually, there is no need to think about it. That guy must be preparing to test it on the spot. However, the reason why I used the light magic so successfully this time, in addition to the credit of the holy magic guide, is that the undead were all gathered in a narrow canyon. If we fight in other places, I think even if I am a god, I can't cover the entire undead army with my attack range.
"Sir, as long as the magicians and heavy cavalry can drive away those undead, we only need to pass through the canyon and march forward for two days to reach the Canglang Line. I just hope that the defenders on the Canglang Line can hold out until we get there after receiving our message... Otherwise..." After seeing that the undead army had fallen into an irreversible defeat, the military liaison officer from the Mocaster Empire immediately stepped forward to analyze the military situation for me.
"We are two days behind... but there is nothing we can do about it... I know how you feel. After all, the main force on the Canglang defense line is made up of soldiers from the Mocaster Empire. But I think you should also know that our current pace of advance is already the fastest. Unless... unless..." Looking at the anxious face of the Mocaster Empire officer, I had to explain something to him first, but at this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, causing me to pause what I was saying.
"Sir, do you have any ideas? Or have you thought of something?" He was originally quite depressed after hearing what I said, but after a few of my attempts, his eyes immediately lit up and he grabbed my arm. However, this move of his almost caused misunderstandings from Yiya and several survivors' soldiers. Before his hands even touched me, several long swords quietly pointed at his vital points.
"Don't get me wrong..." Seeing this, I quickly asked Yiya and the others to put down their swords. After all, this officer of the Mokast Empire is not only responsible for the connection between me and the Kingdom of Yan, but also indirectly controls the lives of countless survivors. What's more, he is also related to my ability to control the army when I command the Mokast Empire Army. "Don't be surprised, liaison officer, they are just reacting naturally and will never really hurt you. And what I said unless, I mean that I just remembered a way to let part of our army go to the Canglang Line of Defense first... but..."
"Just what? If we can allow some of our main forces to reach the Canglang Line first and hold the line in time, then even if the rest of our troops are all destroyed, I think it will be worth it. Lord Shen, tell me! No matter what difficulties there are, as long as we can hold the Canglang Line, then everything will be worth it." Seeing me hesitating, the liaison officer was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and almost wanted to lose his temper, but he might have been concerned about the weird and powerful strength I had just shown, so he stayed where he was honestly, just eager to know what the method I was talking about was.
"I know a space teleportation array. Although I don't know if it is absolutely reliable, I am more than 80% sure that I can teleport 80,000 of the more than 100,000 magicians here to the Canglang defense line..."
"Eighty thousand? Can eighty thousand magicians be teleported? That's great... Lord Shen, I hope you can try to use this teleportation array immediately. As long as eighty thousand magicians can be teleported, I think we may have won half of the battle. What the Canglang Line lacks most now is definitely magicians. You are simply the savior of the Mokast Empire..." Before he finished listening to my words, the liaison officer immediately became excited. In this kind of city defense battle, magicians, a powerful long-range attack force, can at least be one-to-ten in battle, which is definitely a powerful helper for the defenders on the Canglang Line. But at this time, I didn't know that in the heart of this liaison officer, I and the magicians of the Kingdom of Yan were scolding half to death. The reason for this is that the magicians of the Kingdom of Yan couldn't bear the hardship of the cursed land and didn't want to stay on the Canglang Line. If the magician troops of the Kingdom of Yan could have a permanent station at the Canglang Line, then it would be another problem to break through the Canglang Line. . . . . .
"There are still a few remaining issues. First, after this magic is cast, except for the magician who has left, the rest of our magicians will lose their combat effectiveness, and for their safety, I need the troops of your Mocast Empire to properly handle it. Second, the magic crystals consumed by using this teleportation array are extremely huge, and as you know, the crystal mines in the kingdom are owned by the lords of the major territories. Even if the kingdom's magician troops need them, they are purchased from the local area... So I hope your country can bear half of the cost of the consumption of magic crystals this time. Third, due to the departure of our magician troops, when your army is preparing to join forces with the Canglang Line of Defense to attack the undead army, please let all the soldiers wear this..." As I said, I took out a magic collar from the magic space and put it in his hand.
"What is this? What is it used for?" The liaison officer asked curiously, looking at the magic collar in his hand.
"A thing... It can keep its internal magic stable by absorbing the body temperature of the human neck. I think you should also know that the undead army is not easy to be eliminated because they can use local materials and make the dead soldiers of the enemy army become part of the undead army to expand and supplement their combat power. And the effect of this thing of mine is that when a person dies and the body temperature of his neck disappears, this collar will explode... I think you should know what I mean, right?"
"This..." After listening to my explanation, the liaison officer couldn't help but take a breath and was speechless. After a long time, he kicked his feet hard, made up his mind, said "OK" and turned away. (To be continued)
