Heart of Empire

Chapter 570: Upheaval

Views:

Dane led the army here just to grab some handicrafts. Of course, the idea is ridiculous.

No matter how valuable those things are, it is impossible to attract such power.

However, Michaud really couldn't figure out what the goals of Dane and his army were. He couldn't think of any strategic value in Nancy.

In line with the principle of "what the enemy wants to do, we must stop it, even if we don't know what their purpose is", Michaux kept dispatching the undead army to besiege the Schindlers.

Anyway, he has enough money now. No matter how fierce Schindler's team of 1,500 people is, the speed of killing the enemy is very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it can't be faster than the speed of the huge necromancy enchantment that covers the entire dark forest to summon undead creatures. Moreover, all in all, those elves, humans, and giant dragons are only so small in number, and now they are coming back fiercely, what about after five or six hours of fighting? No matter how strong a knight is, he will be tired, and no matter how strong a mage is, he will have mana limitations. It is impossible for them to continue fighting like this. It takes five or six hours to kill them, but five or six days, the total energy consumption will kill them.

In other words, as long as these guys don't leave, sooner or later they will all be consumed by the undead.

With this thought in mind, Mi Xiao's mind became stable again. He made up his mind never to show himself in person, but his spirit permeated the entire court of Nancy. He constantly summoned the army of the undead, and launched a non-stop offensive against those creatures.

At this moment, there are more than 100,000 undead gathered in Nancy's royal court, which is a hundred times that of the Hindlers. Moreover, the number of undead is still growing!

Under Michaud's command, a low-level cannon fodder force composed of a large number of zombies and skeletons, coupled with a considerable number of ghouls, frantically launched a fierce attack on the champion knights guarding the Elven Arch Bridge.

Of course, these ghouls, zombies, and skeletons could not pose any threat to the powerful champion knight, and they would be sent to death more or less.

However, sending death itself is the role of these lower undead.

After sending it off, Michaud will suddenly prepare a wave of slightly higher-quality troops such as black warriors, skeleton cavalry, wights, and vampires to launch an attack on the champion knights.

Of course, even with such a change in the rhythm of the offensive, they can't do anything to the champion knights. But, after all, the battle has been fought for so long, no matter how strong the champion knights are, and no matter how sharp the magic support behind them is, they are still flesh and blood, and it is impossible for them to never tire and make mistakes.

In the first hour and a half of this offensive and defensive battle, none of the Schindlers were killed or injured. By the time of three hours, four champion knights had already died in battle. By the time of five hours, the death and injury of the champion knight had expanded to eleven.

At the same time, after such a long period of fierce fighting, more than a thousand undead gargoyles were killed, and seven bone dragons were killed, but the human air force also lost a lot. In two squadrons, more than sixty Griffin Cavalrymen were killed, and a dozen Griffin Cavalrymen also died. There was also a green dragon whose wings were torn off and fell to the ground. They rushed up and were eaten to death.

The ratio of casualties between the two sides is still very high, and the human elite has wiped out a very, very large number of undead at a relatively small cost. However, this is nothing to Michaud. What is it if thousands of dead, less than 10,000 undead? After a day, I don't know how many undead spirits stand up again and join the battle.

Moreover, after fighting for so long, the fatigue of humans and elves has gradually begun to appear.

Michaux, who used the surveillance spell to observe the battlefield, saw this very clearly. The most obvious manifestation is that druids and mages have reduced the frequency of spell support for champion knights on the front line; For a long time, they didn't fight outside much, hovering over the palace of the Elf King, if the gargoyles didn't barge in, they wouldn't take the initiative to attack.

These all show that those humans and elves have begun to become tired. They may be able to persist for a while, but the casualties will definitely increase gradually, and slowly, victory will fall into the hands of the dead.

The actual situation is developing step by step as Michaud expected, until—

Until, the sixth hour after the Schindlers landed.

Mi Xiao noticed a strange force rising from the palace of the Elven King.

This power is actually not strange to him, it is the negative energy he is most familiar with, the smell of necromancy.

But, the question is, look at the giant dragons and angels flying in the sky, the champion knights on the ground showing the power of the holy light, and those druids immersed in the way of balance and nature, where did necromancy come from

Moreover, this negative force is so powerful that even he feels palpitations because of it!

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and he saw a dark magic rising from the ground, completely covering the palace of the Elf King.

A moment later, he was extremely astonished by the picture that came back from his surveillance spell: the splendid and bright palace of the Elven King changed its appearance in an instant!

The outer wall of the hall was dyed gray and black in an instant, and the tone became monotonous; the ruins of the hall became tall and straight again, with tall spires rising, and the dark green light revealed from the windows full of Gothic style out.

In the blink of an eye, the Elven King Palace has completely changed its appearance!

Looking carefully, this seems to be a Gothic cathedral, full of dark style, completely different from the magnificence of the Nancy elves in the past.

And from the transformed dark cathedral, surging dark energy rapidly spread outward. In an instant, the entire Nancy royal court was enveloped.

Afterwards, under the transformation of this dark force, the elf buildings in the past became beyond recognition. Tall spiers appeared one after another, and the dense green power of necromantic witchcraft filled the entire city.

Michaud could feel that in just a few minutes, the ruins of Nancy's royal court were transformed into a huge undead city!

This is something the Church of the Damned has been trying to do for the past few years, but has been unable to do so. Now, it is being completed rapidly before his eyes.

What's more, as a legendary archmage, he has no idea how such a magical thing happened!

A deep sense of unease rose in his heart, no matter how familiar this dark magic power was to him, he would never think it was a good thing.

This is not the power that belongs to the Church of the Damned!
