king of the castle

Chapter 441 The Battle of Exploration

"Very good!" Satisfied with the high efficiency of Ralph's subordinates, Roger patted the knight on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Thanks to your help, we were able to make all the preparations for the battle before the battle!"

Feeling very embarrassed by Roger's praise, Ralph lowered his head and said, "You're too much!"

Anyway, complimenting someone doesn't cost money, and it can also improve the other party's goodwill towards him. Roger has always been very generous in this regard. 【】He wanted to praise the knight a few more words, but a desolate horn sounded from the platform of the crossbow bed.All of a sudden Roger and Ralph's expressions changed. The sound of the horn was the warning sent by the lookout post. The undead creatures finally launched an attack!

Neia was in a bad mood.

Recently, the Lich is doing a very important magic experiment. If it succeeds, it will increase its strength to a higher level, so it is inevitable to neglect the management of the Lund Peninsula.I never thought that it was such a negligence that a group of reckless humans entered the scope of the Lund Peninsula.

In the first place, this was fine, anyway, now the Lund Peninsula is dominated by undead creatures, and any living thing that enters will sooner or later become a member of Neia's army of undead.

But things seem to be a little different this time.Neia felt that these humans brought the aura of divine power that she hated most.Moreover, this sacred aura was so powerful that even Neia, who had survived for hundreds of years, had never seen it before, which made the Lich instinctively feel the danger.

Neia felt that if these humans were allowed to continue to operate in the Lund Peninsula, it would very likely destroy the undead order that had been established with great difficulty, and even his own safety would be threatened.This is a situation that the Lich cannot tolerate no matter what, it immediately decided to use all the power in its hands to wipe out all these humans.That's why Neia prevented the black knight and his subordinates from attacking almost suicidally, but let them surround the castle first and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

After these few days, half of the undead creatures on the Lund Peninsula gathered here under Neia's order.An army of nearly 30 undead creatures, with at least thousands of undead creatures in its huge strength, gave Neia confidence. The always cautious lich finally decided to launch an attack.

It is not much different from the usual tactics of undead creatures. The first strike is only to consume the enemy's strength and fighting spirit, so almost all of them are low-level undead creatures.

About [-] skeletons and zombies began to move towards the castle, attacking a section of the city wall about [-] meters long.As he began to attack the enemy without hesitation, Neia's eyes shone with a dark red light, showing that he was actually very disturbed at this moment.

The closer it is to the enemy's castle, the more certain the lich can be sure that the holy power that disgusts it is indeed coming from the castle.This made Neia more determined to destroy the castle and kill all living creatures inside.As the governor of the Lund Peninsula appointed by Lord Morady, the Lich will never allow even a little bit of divine power to appear in his territory.

But what Neia didn't understand was that the holy power in the castle was not just a little bit, but so powerful that it couldn't even move against it.No matter the divine power released by the Seraph Archangel and the Archangel Statue, it is not something that a mere Lich can bear.It's just that Roger didn't want to reveal his strength at the moment, so he didn't fully release the divine power, which gave Neia such an illusion.

The Lich had always thought that there might be a group of priests praying in the castle, or that the humans even built a church in the castle, so there was just such a little sacred breath leaking out.In fact, if the Lich knew that there was a Seraph Archangel and the statue of the Archangel in the castle in front of him, he would have fled long ago. How dare he provoke a battle?

Whether it was the Lich's negligence, or saying that it didn't do intelligence work, no matter what the reason was, Neia didn't know what Roger's hole card was, so he rashly launched an attack.Although from now on, the undead creatures seem to have a great chance of winning, but the final result is very tragic.

However, Neia was just a lich and didn't know any great prophecies, so of course she didn't know what would happen to her at this moment.It just began to rush towards the castle like a tide, only hoping that the first blow would achieve its intended goal.

"It's just a few guys here, obviously it's just a test." Roger on the city wall watched the densely packed enemies rushing towards him but acted very calmly, ordering his soldiers to prepare for battle.

[-] undead creatures are not too many but not too few. Although Roger didn't use the catapults and ballistas immediately, he still ordered the crossbowmen to go into battle first.

In fact, against enemies like undead creatures, the crossbowman's role is very limited.After all, the undead creatures are already dead. Unless their soul fires are extinguished, even shooting these guys in the vitals will not have much impact on them.

But now with the holy water made by Angela, the crossbowmen can also exert their lethality.Many earthen jars containing holy water were placed on the city walls, and crossbowmen would dip their arrowheads in the holy water before aiming at the target and shooting.

Arrows dipped in holy water are very lethal to low-level undead creatures.Whether it is a skeleton or a zombie, as long as it is shot, it will immediately fall to the ground, and the soul fire in the eye sockets will be extinguished quickly, turning into a pile of broken corpses.

The low-level undead creatures move slowly and do not have any effective means of defense. They are very easy targets for crossbowmen.After several rounds of arrow attacks, thousands of undead creatures have been wiped out.At this time, the surviving undead creatures also rushed under the city wall. Just like the first attack, they also began to climb up the city wall with their bare hands.

For crossbowmen, attacking these undead creatures moving at a very slow speed on the city wall is as easy as shooting a fixed target.The longbowmen stretched out their bodies and shot at the targets hanging on the city wall. Almost none of their arrows would miss, and each arrow could destroy an enemy.

However, heavy crossbowmen cannot attack the enemy from this angle.Aiming the heavy crossbow straight down will cause the arrows to fall out of the firing slot.So Roger ordered all the heavy crossbowmen to retreat and give up their position to the longbowmen to attack.

Although the ability to attack from afar was halved at the last moment, the crossbowmen still wiped out a large number of undead creatures.At least one-third of the undead creatures fell in the middle of the attack, greatly reducing the pressure on the heavy spearmen and half-armored swordsmen in charge of defense on the top of the city.

Seeing that the fastest crawling undead creatures were approaching the top of the city, Roger ordered the longbowmen to retreat and stand by, and the heavy spearmen and bust warriors officially entered the field.The soldiers launched a massacre of the undead creatures hanging on the city wall who could not fight back. Any undead creatures approaching the top of the city were hit head-on without exception, and all fell off the city wall and were smashed to pieces.

The battle lasted for about an hour, less than half of the first wave of [-] undead creatures remained, and the rest were all wiped out, which became Roger's soul power income.

Feeling the power of the soul pouring into his body continuously, Roger was very satisfied with the harvest of this battle.His men wiped out more than 1 undead creatures almost effortlessly. If this continues, it will not be difficult to kill all the enemies who besiege the castle.

On the other side of the battlefield, Neia watched her subordinates being wiped out one by one, the red light in her eyes flickered even faster, but she didn't feel the slightest distress.These low-level undead creatures are originally used to consume cannon fodder, even if they are all dead, as long as they can consume the strength and fighting spirit of the enemy, it is worth it.

According to Neia's experience, after fighting continuously for so long, weak humans will start to feel tired, and their fighting spirit will also decrease accordingly.So it quickly ordered the second wave of men to start approaching the castle and continue to attack the enemy. In short, it must not let those humans have a chance to breathe.

When the undead creatures first invaded the Lund Peninsula two years ago, Neia used the same tactics to conquer human cities and fortresses one after another.The difference is that at that time the Lich could only command tens of thousands of subordinates, but now it has an army of thirty thousand undead.As long as Neia is willing, it can even call in another 20 undead army within ten days. With such a powerful force, the Lich feels that he can definitely win this war.

There were more undead creatures attacking in the second wave than in the first wave, and their attack range was also expanded. A section of nearly 200-meter-long city wall became their attack range.Neia's timing for ordering his subordinates to attack was well grasped, and the two batches of undead creatures could just connect back and forth.Before the first wave of undead creatures were wiped out, the second wave of undead creatures was already approaching the city.

Neia was very satisfied with the current battle situation.According to previous experience, human soldiers will soon collapse in this kind of non-stop attack.At that time, if you send a stronger super undead creature to launch a fatal blow, you can easily break through the castle and kill all the living things inside.

The Lich dispatched a third attack wave at the right time, and then confidently waited for the moment when the battle situation would develop in its favor and the human army finally collapsed.

However, Neia soon discovered that the situation of this battle was completely different from the previous ones.Although the Lich's subordinates continued to attack, the human soldiers on the city wall showed no sign of backing down.On the contrary, they have always maintained high fighting spirit and abundant energy, like a group of fighting machines that never know fear and fatigue.

"Bastard, why is this happening?" The lich was enraged by this completely unexpected situation, and ordered his subordinates fiercely: "Let the skeleton mammoth attack!"
