Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1614: The Irritated Saint Laurent I

Shi Lei was not afraid that Saint Laurent's army would launch a night attack. Fighting at night, they had the plain fortress behind them, dwarf musketeers and boar riders, as well as undead cavalry, which could be said to be at an advantage.

If the opponent attacks you, you will be beaten.

To put it bluntly, they did not launch a night attack, but merely harassed the other side, and the other side should thank them.

While the soldiers of Saint Laurent's army were being harassed by the Boar Riders and unable to sleep, the Plains Fortress was not idle either.

On the battlefield during the day, a lot of undead energy was produced because of the fighting between the two sides.

Although the group of necromancers headed by Gargamel did not have the strength to participate in the war, they joined in without hesitation when it came to the fight for undead energy.

The one who absorbed the most was undoubtedly Gargamel, a wizard who had entered the holy realm.

Ordinary units really can't compete with him.

However, this undead energy had not even warmed up before it was all poured into Bloody Hand.

In fact, it was not just Gargamel, but even Shi Lei himself, who acted as Bloody Hand's power bank in this wave, just hoping that Bloody Hand could recover as much as possible to help them buy more time.

But unfortunately, Shi Lei's personal cultivation is still relatively too weak, and at this stage he is just a transcendental mage.

In addition, considering that he also had to command the battle and occasionally need to use some mantra spells, he infused Blood Hand with 50% of his own mana.

The little bit of magic power he had injected into the body of Blood Hand, who was now at the Zongheng Realm, was basically like a drop of water. All he could say was that it was better than nothing.

Perhaps his only advantage is that compared to the undead wizards including Gargamel, he can restore his own magic power through meditation.

That night, the Giant Eagle Knights' bombing frequency was not high. After all, Shi Lei still needed the Giant Eagle to rest well and recover its strength so as not to affect the combat status on the next day.

But the dwarf boar riders were busy all night.

When Shi Lei ordered the Boar Rider to carry out the harassment mission, he was actually a little worried.

I was worried that the Boar Knights would be blinded by hatred and attack the camp of Saint Laurent's army.

They do have the advantage of night vision, but their numbers are small after all, and the gap in troop strength is so huge that if they fight a defensive battle with their backs against the fortress, they can still be confident, but if they take the initiative to attack the camp, that would be seeking death.

Fortunately, they remained cool-headed and did not take such extreme actions.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the Saint Laurent army, which had hardly had a good rest, was filled with anger and launched another attack on the Plain Fortress.

The first day's attack had the effect of testing and collecting intelligence.

As the warring parties reveal various means and even their trump cards, some secrets will no longer be secrets, and it will naturally evolve into a confrontation at the level of hard power.

“How annoying!!”

Amidst the roar, the incandescent sword light instantly cut Blood Hand's body in half!

But there was no trace of joy on Saint Laurent I's face.

A large amount of dark blue soul fire gushed out from the broken part, connecting the severed body and piecing it together again.

Even during this process, Blood Hand's attack did not stop at all. His claws continuously swung out black and gray claws, launching frequent attacks towards him!

Considering the "corpse poison" characteristics of the undead energy, Saint Laurent I could only keep a calm face and defend himself to resolve the opponent's attack.

If it was a living opponent, the opponent would have died at least five times in this battle!
However, the bastard Bloodhand relied on his status as an undead and acted recklessly in front of him. Saint Laurent I, who had not rested well the previous night, was already a little irritable. After this round of fighting with Bloodhand, he became even more irritable.

On the main force's side, the enemy relied on their defensive advantage, and with the cooperation of the Undead Wolf Cavalry and the Undead Centaur Cavalry, they frequently attacked the rear row, causing their battle situation to temporarily come to a stalemate.

Unfortunately, as for the high-end combat power, he was unable to completely destroy Blood Hand in a short period of time.

During this period, Saint Laurent I actually thought about simply getting rid of the Bloody Hand and creating a breakthrough for his own army.

There is no doubt that he can do it. The bloody hands that have turned into undead cannot stop him at all.

But the problem is, while he was getting rid of the Bloody Hand, wasn't the Bloody Hand also getting rid of him?

When the time comes, the opponent will rush into the battlefield, killing and sucking at the same time, and it will feel like he can turn into a perpetual motion machine.

At the same time, Saint Laurent I was even more afraid that the other side would attack their war drums.

Although Marshal Adolf, holding the Shield of Earth, could block a few attacks even when facing attacks from strong men in the Zongheng Realm, this only meant blocking one or two attacks at the critical moment, not that he could block them all.

Bloody Hand had to move quickly to kill them and take the war drum, because then he might not be able to get back in time.

After making a simple calculation in his mind, Saint Laurent I finally decided to fight Bloody Hand first. Everything else would be dealt with after the threat of Bloody Hand was resolved!
However, the battle before him was obviously not going as smoothly as he had expected.

After another failure, Saint Laurent I returned to the camp in a terrible mood.

"30,000 troops! 30,000 troops attacked the city for two days, and they still couldn't break it?!"

Marshal Adolf, who was standing below, suddenly twitched his eyelids when he heard this.

He knew that their Majesty had been unable to deal with Bloody Hand and was in a bad mood, so he was coming for him.

"I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Marshal Adolf could only say that he knew his mentor who guided him in martial arts very well.

At this time, don't make excuses or worry about whether you are right or not. Just admit your mistake and be done with it.

To put it bluntly, Saint Laurent I was in a bad mood at the moment and wanted to find something to vent his anger, or find someone to scold!
Trying to find excuses at this time would only put you in danger.

As expected, facing Marshal Adolf who simply admitted his mistakes, Saint Laurent I could not lose his temper even if he wanted to.

The main thing is that he hasn't completely lost his mind yet.

He knew very well that Marshal Adolf was the most outstanding commander in their Saint Laurent Empire.

The other side's title of 'Wall of the Empire' was earned through fighting battle after battle!
If even Marshal Adolf can't do anything about it, then who else in their Saint Laurent Empire can do it?

"Tell me, what is going on?!"

Faced with this problem, Marshal Adolf actually felt a little bit complicated.

Because from a commander's point of view, it is normal that he cannot capture the fortress in two days.

It’s just that in the past, when their Saint Laurent Empire fought with other countries, because their Saint Laurent Empire was much stronger than other countries, they could often easily break through the enemy’s fortresses.

Over time, it seems that their Majesty has some misunderstanding about the difficulty of this siege...
