Empire of Shadows

Chapter 214: Battle of the Undead

Views:

On the top floor of the castle, I nervously watched the approaching Undead army, wondering how I could fight in order to deal a greater blow to the Undead.

"Sir, there is news from the monitoring room that there are nearly 3 million orc troops gathered outside the Canglang defense line..."

"Fuck, 3 million? That's 3 times the number of troops that attacked the defense line during the day..." I couldn't help but curse as I listened to the news from my subordinates. From the daytime battle, I could see that the defenders on the Canglang defense line had already done their best to deal with the nearly 1 million orcs. And at this time, the orcs continued to attack with three times the number of troops... The consequence...

"Sir, according to the findings of the monitoring room, the orc army is still sending reinforcements to the front line. It is estimated that before they launch the attack, they can gather at least 4 million troops..."

"Damn, there's no need to fight this war. With such a huge military strength difference, what's the point of fighting? Not only can their military strength wipe us out, but even if they want to tear down the entire Canglang Line of Defense, it probably won't take much effort.

That who? ? Didn’t the history of continental war say that the orcs attacked the human continent at most with less than 3 million troops? This time, the number of troops attacking the city during the day and gathering at night alone was probably twice that maximum number. . . . . .

Forget it, let’s not talk about this, let Bout and William do the work for now! Anyway, our opponents now are those undeads…

Now, everyone is ready for battle. Those who do not have combat orders should take time to rest immediately. We must ensure the troops' ability to fight continuously for a long time.

Also, issue me a death order: all mages must always retain the ability to fly 100 kilometers alone, otherwise they will bear all the consequences!" After a few complaints, I immediately ordered the entire army to mobilize and prepare to fight the undead army.

Following my order, tens of thousands of magicians began to gather magic power at the same time. With the effect of the ancient amplification magic circle on the top of the castle, the magic power gathered in the hands of the magicians became more colorful, making the entire castle shrouded in a six-color glow.

At this time, the warriors from the survivors also set up the small amount of city defense equipment moved from the Canglang defense line and quickly operated it. The survivors warriors who could not threaten the enemies at a distance also tried their best to arrange huge logs on the city wall, preparing to give them a fatal blow when the undead attacked the city.

“Damn it!” When the tightly-packed Undead Army was less than 2 kilometers away from the City of Earth, the entire Undead Army quickly and orderly dispersed in all directions, and the distance between them changed from shoulder to shoulder to a distance that was wide enough for a carriage to run in the middle. . . . .

"Sir, what should we do? Bomb or not?" The mage, looking at the undead army that had entered our ambush area but being overwhelmed by the undead's loose formation, had to hand over the decision to me.

"Blow it up! Why not? Input magic power to me immediately, blow it up..." I gave the order without any consideration after hearing my subordinates' question. After all, in the current situation, even if I don't use the magic scrolls buried in front of the castle as mines, when we or the Mokast Empire can't hold the Canglang Defense Line, we will have no chance to retrieve the pre-buried magic scrolls. If we use them now, we can at least kill a few more undeads, which can at least relieve us a little bit of pressure.

As soon as I finished speaking, thousands of magics of varying sizes emerged from the ground about 800 meters away from the castle, directly covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters. Unfortunately, after the brilliant fireworks, only less than 10,000 undead were destroyed in that area of tens of thousands of square meters. Afterwards, the area was quickly filled with undead that swarmed in from behind.

"This..." The court mage from the capital was stunned at what was happening in front of him. While he was shocked by the power of the magic scrolls, he was also extremely disappointed with the outcome.

"Sir, should we start the attack? Those undead are less than 500 meters away from us!" Seeing the undead army approaching, the magicians beside him were getting more and more impatient. But it was no wonder. Magicians were known for their weak constitution and poor close combat skills. How could they not be afraid of the undead army that was getting closer and closer

"Wait, no one is allowed to take any action without my order!" Waving my hand coldly, I ordered again that everyone must obey my orders.

After hearing what I said, the mages around me stopped talking. In addition to obeying the orders of their superiors, I think my performance in the previous battles was also one of the reasons why they obeyed me at this time. Otherwise, the huge age difference between me and them would be enough for them to take advantage of me. However, there was another reason, which I dared not imagine at this time. . . . . .

"Water magicians, get ready. Prepare to release the Water Curtain Magic Shield in ten breaths. Make sure to protect the entire Earth City... 3... 2... 1... Start!"

"The second step is for the water magician to release a large amount of water magic to the outer wall of the city and 30 to 100 meters outside the city wall, covering the entire area, and then use freezing magic to freeze the water source..."

After issuing two orders, I looked at the undead troops that kept speeding up and rushed forward and laughed sinisterly. . . Run, run! The faster they go, the more they come, and the richer my harvest will be.

Soon, a large number of undead soldiers surged onto the pre-laid ice surface like a tide, and then immediately began to slide forward in large numbers... One row... Two rows... When the necromancers found that something was wrong, a large number of undead troops had already slipped under the city wall, and the undead soldiers behind them, because the necromancers did not have time to issue orders to retreat or stop, followed the path of the pioneers. For a while, the entire front of the castle was bustling...

"Remove the supports on the surface of the moat..." Seeing that hundreds of thousands of undead had already rushed to my expected location, I quickly issued a third order. As I gave the order, the ground within a range of 2 meters to 30 meters in front of the castle suddenly sank. . . . . .

“Haha~~~ Smash down those remaining undead hiding in the corner!”

Someone shouted loudly, and in an instant, tens of thousands of survivors picked up huge logs and hung them on the lucky undead who didn't fall down at the foot of the city wall. . . In just one round, all the undead who were at a loss under the city wall were immediately smashed into the nearly 30-meter-wide and 20-meter-deep moat in front. . . . Or should I say the moat? After all, the clay inside this long pit was used to build the castle, and not much water has been accumulated so far.

"Right now, attack those damned undead troops with all your strength, let these idiots have a taste of what it's like to just take a beating and not be able to fight back!" Facing the undead army that was overwhelmed by the sudden moat, I excitedly gave the order to attack with all my strength. Now, not only did I use this moat to destroy a large number of undead, but I also exposed the main force of the undead directly to the attack range of my magicians, and the enemy was unable to attack me. This situation is definitely what any troop commander would be happy to see. (To be continued)
