Tauren Overlord

"Go to the northeast to conduct some reconnaissance and see if the tree people have really surrendered to the Empire."

If the news was true, he should consider stopping the attack on Cat-Eared Glade, or even abandoning the alliance and retreating with his entire army.

But it is a difficult choice after all.

The Sea Alliance collapsed too quickly, leaving him with insufficient time to snowball his undead army.

The sooner he turns against the Empire, the shorter his development period will be, and he will soon have to fight a life-and-death battle.

How Degar wished that Cat-Eared Glad could hold on a little longer so that he would have more time to reap the spoils of his attack on the Kingdom of Cat-Eared Via.

Just as he was hesitating, a dazzling light suddenly flashed before his eyes.

The next thing that appeared before him was a demon holding a huge sickle.

It was not until this moment that Degar realized that the empire's betrayal had come so quickly.

Before he could react, the sickle that had been raised high suddenly caught fire and chopped towards his head.

Selron's force was so great that it split Degar's decayed body in half almost instantly.

But this is just the beginning. Selron's Death Scythe is not only extremely powerful, but also has a fast attack speed.

The demon did not let go of the vampire's torn body, but attacked it madly from head to toe.

If "cut into thousands of pieces" is still a rhetorical device, then "cut into a hundred pieces" is definitely a realistic description.

The Death Scythe also comes with a fire attack, which causes the torn pieces of Degal to be burned in flames.

The leader who betrayed the Sea Alliance didn't even have time to scream before he was reduced to ashes under the roasting of hellfire.

After confirming that Degal was dead, Selron began to focus on killing several other undead mages who had appeared.

The reason why he did this, of course, was because he had received the latest instructions from the Emperor of God, telling him to stop conserving his strength and to attack the last enemy with all his might.

The fierce demons on all fronts attacked the enemies including the Undead Legion without reservation.

The fierce demons attacking Cat-Eared Glade walked relatively slowly to avoid walking directly into the portal of the Minotaur Overlord;

They are also spaced relatively far apart to prevent the rune bombs falling from the sky from causing too much damage to them.

But when they attacked the Volachian Kingdom Legion, they were not so particular.

Who made them have neither portals that can devour people nor rune bombs?

The Necromancers had never expected that the Empire would betray them so quickly.

The unprepared Undead army was immediately broken through by the non-existent defense line by the Empire Headquarters Legion led by the fierce demons.

All their defenses were directed to the west, that is, to guard against any small force that might break out from Cat-Eared Glade.

Even Degar had hinted to his necromancers that they would eventually have to fight the Empire in the future.

But as for the start time of the war, the necromancers all thought that it would at least have to wait until the fall of Cat-Eared Glad.

They could never have imagined that the God-Emperor would be willing to fight on two fronts and catch them off guard at the most critical moment of the siege of Cat-Eared Glade.

These naive necromancers were completely tricked to death by the God-Emperor - it couldn't even be blamed on Degal being too weak, but rather on the God-Emperor's great grasp of timing.

Even an imperial marshal like Selron couldn't think of such a clever time to betray, let alone them?

Lacking both preparation and the leadership of Degal, the Volachian Undead Legion immediately fell into a state of total defeat...

Compared with the chain-collapse of the Undead Legion, the northern wall of Cat-Ear Glade, which is directly supported by Lu Heng, is the most solid line of defense.

The goblins specialize in attacking on the ground. Whether it is the catapults on the city walls or the chariots under the city walls, goblins can be seen fighting everywhere.

There are also a large number of demon children in the sky above the north wall, but Lu Heng also has people who specialize in dealing with them.

That was the Ratling machine gunner who had just rescued his Centaur allies and came to the rescue again.

"Da da da da da!" The bullets from the Ratling gun were like raindrops returning from the ground to the sky, ruthlessly harvesting lives flying in the sky.

Although Lu Heng was the defending party, the scene of using the Rat Traning machine gun for air defense looked like a one-sided massacre.

Comparatively speaking, the goblins responsible for ground combat have a much harder time.

From fire monkeys to three-headed hounds, to magnetic horned demons and imperial whippersnappers, the enemies not only outnumber us, but many of them are several times taller than the goblins.

But the goblins are not alone. Lu Heng has also deployed rocket artillery, which can just be used to clear out the densely packed enemies.

Especially the Imperial Fire Monkeys who tried to throw fireballs at the goblin positions, as long as they gathered a little, they would be collectively executed by Lu Heng's rocket artillery.

With rocket artillery as the main output force, even the goblins, whose combat effectiveness was very average, finally stood their ground.

What really made Lu Heng feel a little troubled was the fierce demons that kept pushing forward from the empire.

Since such elite troops have been deployed, it means the empire is serious about its actions.

The Empire had obviously learned from its previous lessons and did not allow the demons to run too fast, so as to avoid crashing into the portal.

Lu Heng had no choice but to continue using rune bombs to clean them up - but the problem was that there were not enough rune bombs.

He had used up all the rune bombs he had in the process of rescuing the centaurs.

In addition to the urgent situation, the important reason that prompted Lu Heng to do this was that Tesna still had stock and this thing could continue to be produced.

But the output of Rune Bomb is not optimistic.

Currently, Lu Heng controls three rune bomb production lines.

Two of them are located in the city, one is Tesna’s original production line, and the other is the new apprentice found by Lu Heng.

There is also a production line in the Suspension Bridge Monastery, where apprentices learn how to make rune bombs by taking "online classes" through the illusion created by Lu Heng.

The current progress is that the most skilled Tesna production line can only produce 3 missiles in 10 days;

The two new production lines added by Lu Heng will be even less efficient, and they can produce eight missiles in total in about three days.

Then can Lu Heng simply increase the number of people and increase the production of rune bombs?

It may not work.

There are two main factors that restrict the scale of Rune Bomb production:

The first is the source of the raw materials for this weapon. The power of the rune bomb mainly comes from the psychic stone, but this is a non-renewable resource that is very difficult to find.

If the psychic stones can't keep up, it's useless no matter how many people are gathered.

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [Black Dog] for the monthly ticket ww

323. Give more rewards

The second is the rune itself.

To prevent Rune Bomb from falling into the hands of the enemy, its crafting recipe has never been recorded in written form.

Even Tesna’s allies in the Sea Alliance didn’t know the details.

It was not until Tesna quietly told Lu Heng that he knew that Tesna was also part of the recipe.

As the heir of this special rune, Tesna has taken special potions since she was a child, which has fixed her exclusive art to provide specific runes.

Casting this kind of rune magic itself consumes a large amount of psychic energy, which becomes another ceiling for the total output of rune bombs.

In addition, this kind of rune cannot transform the psychic stone into a rune bomb in just one cast. It requires the rune craftsman to spend three days to reinforce it.

This is the easiest part for Lu Heng to handle, as what he has the most is craftsmen.

As long as you have the psychic simulation stone in your hand, most abilities can be simulated.

The real bottleneck is the psychic stone.

Before a large amount of psionic stones were mined, it would help to keep it secret by letting Tesna be responsible for the most critical rune casting.

The good news is not without it.

Before the general attack of Cat-Eared Glade began, Lu Heng had already teleported the non-combatants of the goblin tribe to the surrounding areas of New Taimenia City.

Those goblins and farts are pretty terrible at fighting, but they're very good at mining.

The virgin lands in the north have always been less exploited and less repeatedly excavated than the old mining areas.

Perhaps in the near future, Lu Heng will be able to open up new psychic stone veins in the northern border, and the rune bomb production line can be further expanded.

The bad news is that there are still not enough rune bombs in the short term, so Lu Heng can only think of other tricks - such as directly using the portal to devour the demon.

In this attack, the Empire learned its lesson. They deliberately slowed down the speed of the demons and would immediately bypass them if they found a portal ahead.

Since they are so smart, Lu Heng must give them more rewards.

For example, before opening the portal, another step is added: a "reappearance of the past" mask is first placed at the place where the portal is to be opened.

This kind of visual deception directly resulted in the fierce demon not knowing that a portal had been opened in front of him, and he ended up entering it accurately.

In order to make everything less conspicuous, Lu Heng also obtained a stock of rune bombs from Tesna, and mixed the two methods of slaughtering the fierce demons.

By the time the demon generals under Selron finally realized that something was wrong, Lu Heng had already swallowed more than twenty fierce demons.

I can only say that the psychic energy content of the fierce demon is really good. One fierce demon can match a third-level spellcaster.

After devouring these fierce demons, it was a great tonic. They were constantly replenishing Lu Heng's lost spiritual energy.

But Lu Heng's continuous opening of the portal and the "Reappearance of the Past" ability is not without cost.

Even though his psychic energy was continuously replenished, excessive spellcasting posed an increasingly serious challenge to the body's psychic energy load.

This meant that it was already very difficult for him to use this combination of skills to devour the fierce demon.

Even if there were still many other high-level troops in the empire, Lu Heng did not have the energy to devour them all in the same way.

However, the regular army that the Empire can rely on is not just the Demons, their Imperial Whipmasters are also quite a tough elite.

Soon, Aurelia's pleasant but melancholy voice came from Lu Heng's communicator:

"They've breached the outer wall on the south side."

Then there was Tesna.

"The western outer wall was also lost."

Lu Heng expanded his landing point vision and examined the overall situation of the battlefield.

The situation at the west wall was indeed very serious. The imperial whippers below the city could often swing their whips and directly whip the defenders on the wall.

Under normal circumstances, the elven archers and cat mages on the city walls would definitely fight back against the imperial whippers.

But they had consumed too much ammunition and magic stones in the previous process of dealing with the cannon fodder troops.

The logistics were becoming increasingly outdated. Even if there were some reserves in the city, it would be difficult to transport them to the front line of the battle in time.

The Imperial Whiphands, who are each a spellcaster, can also brand the targets they whip with magic while performing ranged attacks.

The elves lacking bows and arrows and the cat wizards whose psychic energy was exhausted had just been beaten to death by the Empire's whippersnappers, but were resurrected by the enemy and turned into magnetic horned demons.

These magnetic horned demons immediately launched a siege on the remaining defenders on the city wall.

At this moment, many combat dwarves - especially the dwarf butchers who intended to fulfill their promise - did not choose to withdraw from the city wall.

They fought to the last moment, creating an opportunity for the friendly forces to retreat.

Only the last inner city wall remains on the west and south sides.

If the Empire were to breach that place as well, there would no longer be any walls to protect the magical defense barrier within the city.

However, the problems that Lu Heng caused to the empire were also considerable.

Selron had just jumped back to his camp as a victor when his general confessed his guilt to him:

"Marshal, we've fallen into a trap! A large number of our demons were not killed by the rune bombs, but entered the enemy's disguised portal."

"In order to avoid greater losses, I propose to activate a magic defense barrier for every fierce demon..."

The magic defense barrier is not Cat-Eared Glade's unique skill, but it is definitely not a cheap product available everywhere.

The most common method of creating magical defense barrier props is to inject magic potions into talented children from a young age to shape their unique skills.
