The idea of stationing in Angry Bear Town and preparing to fight to the death with the undead army was immediately rejected by Palan.
This is the way to die.
When 30,000 undead swarmed in mighty force, relying on the 10,000 people under his command, and the dilapidated defense facilities in Nuxiong Town, to fight against so many undead
If the group of undead army is just like the group encountered in Angry Bear Town, it is mostly composed of skeletons and zombies, then it is not without the ability to fight. Low-level skeletons and zombies have really low combat power.
However, according to the intelligence sent by the frontline scouts, although there are certain zombies and skeleton warriors in the enemy's undead army, there are quite a few ghouls as the main force, as well as more powerful black warriors. !
What's more, in the enemy army, a large number of heavy swordsmen wearing dark armor and holding two-handed swords were found, and even had the ability to release some specific dark spells in battle. There was a scouting team that ran into such a swordsman who was alone. Five elite scouts went up to besiege and beat one of them. Although they killed him in the end, three of the five scouts were killed and two were injured.
You know, those who can be scouts are all military elites!
According to the reports of the living scouts, there are at least two thousand such heavy swordsmen—they call them cursed swordsmen.
At the same time, this undead army has another important feature—most of the undead have pointed and long ears.
This is a characteristic exclusive to elves, and it represents the army of undead that cursed the church, and most of them were elves during their lifetime.
Palan remembered a rumor that had been circulated among the high-level kingdom after Cecilia returned from the dark forest, saying that the Nancy Elf Court had been completely corrupted by the Church of the Curse.
That was several years ago.
If the Church of the Damned really controlled Nancy Royal Court very strongly, then what if millions of elves were transformed into undead
This is a very scary thing to think about!
Not to mention Schindler, even if the entire Holy Alliance is brought together, it may be difficult to purify so many undead, right
The population of elves in Nancy Royal Court is at least two million. Even if only one tenth of the elves were transformed by the cursed church, that would be a very terrifying number!
But now is not the time to think about such a long-term matter. Judging from the current situation, Palan must ensure the safety of this force in his hands, otherwise the whole of Florence will face a desperate situation.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to garrison the town of Angry Bear, because it will definitely not be able to defeat the army of undead emerging from the Forest of Four Fields.
The only remaining options are to retreat to the west and rescue Blackwood City.
This is where the choices are most tangled.
It should be safest to retreat westward. The undead in Angry Bear Town are no longer to be feared. Going further to the west, although there are still many undead who have entered the Pudley Kingdom, the number is actually not too many, at least they can't beat the Sixth Army he is leading now .
This is a survivable choice.
But what next? Blackwood City is bound to fall, and 30,000 undead will march eastward. In the city of Bauhinia, the garrison army led by Colonel Chandler is also impossible to stop the army of undead. This will represent the complete fall of the entire Duchy of Florence, and it is estimated that the Duke of Bulls will hardly survive.
What's the point of Palan keeping his Sixth Army
Then there is only one option left, rush to rescue Blackwood City, and try to keep the undead army to the north as much as possible. If you can't do it, if you have to choose to retreat, you have to retreat to the east, to the City of Bauhinia, and try to slow down the pace of the undead's attack as much as possible, and try to delay the arrival of the Kingdom's support—the bottom line is also the City of Bauhinia Can't lose.
After hesitating for a moment, Palan was already planning to do this.
But before he could hasten his way back to Blackwood City, he still had one more problem to solve—Sir Karn's troops.
A few days ago, when Kahn's troops were rescued and arrived in Blackwood City, there were only 2,000 people. In the follow-up, in the process of leading the Sixth Army to sweep the undead westward, Paran rescued some more one after another.
Up to now, there are already 3,000 Holy Alliance troops mixed in Paran's army at this moment.
For the convenience of command, Kahn was absorbed into the command of the army, and the army of the Holy Alliance was also reorganized.
Originally, the interests of both parties were the same. The wars and conflicts that may arise between them are caused by misunderstandings; after the misunderstandings are resolved, the common enemy, that is, the undead, is enough to tie the two sides to the same trench.
But now, if Palan wants to give up his plan to go west and return to Blackwood City instead, Kahn probably won't agree.
His ultimate goal is to bring the survivors of the Holy Alliance army back to the Pudli Kingdom. They have no intention of helping Schindler and protecting Florence.
They can follow the Sixth Army and fight westward to the territory of the Pudli Kingdom to fight against the undead. But it would be unrealistic for them to return to Blackwood City together and fight the undead for the benefit of Schindler.
However, Paran didn't want to let them go.
The Sixth Army under him now has only 7,000 people. Counting the defenders in Blackwood City, there are only less than 10,000. With such power, it is too weak to fight against the undead army.
Palan hoped that Kahn's troops would also fight with him. Although adding these 3,000 people will not significantly change the overall power balance, any increase in power is valuable.
How to convince Kahn
Palan knew that it was impossible for him to persuade Kahn, and it was impossible for these soldiers of the Holy Alliance to willingly work for him.
But he didn't intend to do that either.
If you can't be willing, it doesn't really matter. As long as these soldiers go to fight the undead together, it doesn't matter if they are unwilling.
Coercion is the most time-saving method.
Being coerced, Sir Kahn was of course very unhappy. He strongly protested to Palan and made some 'unreasonable' actions, but in the end he was suppressed by Palan, and he still had to Be obedient.
The reason for this is simple: Sir Kahn has 3,000 people, and all the supplies are in the hands of the Hindlers. Divorce and quarrel, and they will be starved of food in no time.
With Sir Kahn's own power, it might not be a big problem to eliminate the undead in Raging Bear Town, but it might be more difficult to continue westward.
