Tauren Overlord

So good offerings are always in short supply.

What’s worse is that although it is difficult to make sacrifices, it is much easier to kill them.

Even a scattered group of skeletons, ghouls or zombies are fully capable of killing a bound psychic lamb.

When they really encounter the undead, the sacrifices may not necessarily choose to escape.

Being a sacrifice and having your spiritual energy constantly drained away is an extremely painful thing in itself.

The sacrifices may not necessarily regard the undead spirits coming to kill them as a threat, but may instead regard it as a rare relief.

If the sacrifices could still move, it would not be surprising if they jumped and bumped into the skeleton soldiers' swords.

Even if the sacrifices were guarded by troops such as three-headed hounds, fire monkeys, and magnetic horned demons, it would still be difficult to cope with the situation in the sea of ​​corpses.

When the loss of sacrifices reaches a certain level, even if Alexis really reaches New Luna City, he may not be able to surround it.

The Marshal of the Bodyguards could only send out his most elite Fierce Demon Troops, and charge straight at the Necromancer hiding behind amidst a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

But after Lu Heng's reorganization, the Necromancer's fighting style has also undergone new changes.

In the era of Degar and even earlier, necromancers were roughly organized into formations according to the families they belonged to.

However, different noble families often have different resource endowments, making it difficult for them to coordinate effectively.

For example, a Necromancer family with many ghost dragons moves fast, while a Necromancer family with mostly zombies and large abominations moves slowly.

Including the Necromancer himself, it is also a complex concept.

There are necromancers who are born from skeletons, some are born from zombies, and more necromancers are vampires.

But the latter can transform into bats and run away, but skeletons and zombies cannot. How can this be coordinated?

Lu Heng’s plan was to change the combat method and let the necromancers fight in groups using bone dragons or ghost dragons as platforms.

This idea is a bit like the aircraft carrier that Lu Heng learned about in Guqiu. The focus is to increase the safe combat radius of the undead troops.

Anyway, there is quite a lot of space on the dragon's back, so it won't be a problem to install a few more necromancers.

Elite troops like the Emperor's personal soldiers chased after them, and dragons, which are also flying machines, are no slower than the Fierce Demons.

As for what to do with the undead army that was destroyed on the ground...that's easy, they were meant to die.

On the contrary, if each necromancer commands too many undead, a large amount of energy will be consumed to maintain the current undead.

So even if the Necromancers intend to "snowball", their snowball cannot grow bigger and bigger indefinitely.

Once it reaches a certain level, the Necromancer will fall into the situation of "high maintenance cost" or even "super high maintenance cost".

By then, even if the Necromancer wanted to take care of one more skeleton, he would not be able to do so.

Therefore, the undead army on the ground should surge to the other side like a tide.

It seemed as if endless skeleton soldiers were charging ahead, and zombies were staggering forward, dragging their rotten limbs.

Large abominations form a huge tanky force - these "low-level troops" can kill quite a few three-headed hounds by just rolling on the ground with their faces.

The ghouls also looked for opportunities to approach the sacrifice from all directions.

Even if their legs and feet were temporarily broken by the imperial guards, they would still eat the corpses on the battlefield to restore their own strength...

Although this undead army is still led by Count Shant, its combat philosophy is already Lu Heng's version.

According to Lu Heng's estimation, the basic troops on the ground could be replaced as many as possible, with no expectation of keeping them.

This will also allow Necromancers to command fewer undead, thus maintaining a good "low maintenance cost" state.

As they continue to summon spirits, their spiritual energy will recover faster.

However, things were not going well for the Empire.

Even though the number of their sacrifices directly destroyed by the Undead Legion is small, the combat of high-level troops will often result in some loss of sacrifices.

Especially those five thousand fire magicians.

Although they can "cast spells without materials", this will only consume more of their own spiritual energy.

If we can’t make up for it from the materials, then where can we make up for it? Of course, we can make up for it from the poor sacrifices.

The more sacrifices they consume, the weaker their ability to sustain combat will become.

Lu Heng's chances of winning this war will also increase little by little...

The author says:

Author's words: Thanks to [Fragrant Green Grass Sweet Berries] for the reward ww

360. Cut off the flame

Thousands of tongues of fire rose up in the night sky, turning the dark sky into a sea of ​​fire.

Each flame represents a personal soldier of the God-Emperor. They fly across the Sea of ​​the Dead and directly attack the Necromancer in the night sky.

But the Necromancers also have basic troops on the front line to provide early warning, which gives them the necessary reaction time.

"According to the established plan, each combat group will spread out and prioritize saving themselves."

Count Santa transmitted the voice to each combat group through the communicator provided by Lu Heng.

There are more than a hundred such combat groups, and each combat group is a combination of a skull dragon or a ghost dragon and several necromancers.

To unite such a force, relying on traditional psychic scrolls would consume too much spiritual energy.

Lu Heng promptly helped the Volachians to "downgrade their consumption" by replacing their electronic devices with communicators that could only transmit voice.

This is indeed more ideal than the psychic scroll in actual combat.

In a life-and-death moment like this, who can take the time to watch the commander's hologram?

They must keep a close eye on the battlefield at all times and be prepared to fight a desperate battle with the fierce demon!

"They are too fast. We are about to be caught up. Be careful!"

Sandro is the core of one of the combat teams in this "Hundred Group War".

He tried his best to dodge the flying tongues of fire and only narrowly missed a few of them.

Skeqiang on the dragon's back tried to use the slow-down technique on the flames, but he couldn't hit the target at all.

"They're too fast! I can't cast a spell."

It's not that Skeqiang's skills are rusty. He is already the most outstanding necromancer among zombies.

A certain lich who also participated in this battle made the same sigh:

"This is too bumpy, I can't even release Frost Nova!"

"I was just about to cast a spell when that shadow flashed by..."

The flying speed of the Fierce Demon is very fast, and Sandro is constantly dodging in the air, which makes it even more difficult for the caster to aim.

However, there was no way that the bone dragon Sandro could slow down his dodging speed, otherwise the group of ghosts on the dragon's back would be completely safe.

It was thanks to his desperate dodging that another ray of fire passed by him.

But the fire immediately summoned a flaming whip, which bound and pulled one of the liches off Sandro's back.

"Whoa whoa!"

The lich wrapped in flames died in mid-air within a few seconds.

The undead are afraid of fire magic, and the extremely fast-flying fire sorcerers like the God-Emperor's personal soldiers are all experts in arson.

In a head-on confrontation, the Kingdom of Volachia would have no chance of winning.

When the Empire just backstabbed these undead, they were still very unconvinced.

I always feel that it was all Selron's fault for not declaring war, which led to the defeat of the Volachian Legion at the city of Cat-Ear Glad.

If there had been no sneak attack, even if the Undead Army could not have won, it would have at least given the Empire a tragic victory.

It was not until this group of necromancers fought against the Divine Emperor's personal soldiers that they realized they were no match for the Empire.

These five thousand fierce demons alone have enough power to destroy Volachia.

But the weak also have the possibility to seize the initiative in strategy.

At least Count Sante has conveyed Lu Heng's combat ideas to all combat groups:

"Fly, keep flying! Fly as far as you can!"

"Every extra second they pursue is consuming the already limited fuel!"

The fuel of the Fierce Demons is the sacrifice. The more they enter into a fighting state, the more they will burn the life of the sacrifice.

This was the result that Lu Heng had planned long ago - the purpose of the attack was to make the empire consume their sacrifice.

If that is the case, then why is directly killing the sacrifice the only way to achieve the strategic goal?

Isn't it also a way to force the Emperor's personal soldiers to go into battle, thereby speeding up the consumption of sacrifices?

It can't even be blamed on the Fierce Demon Marshal Alexis for being fooled by Lu Heng.

When Count Santa launched his first attack, Alexis planned to use basic troops for defense.

But that was Shant's most successful raid.

Because he didn't care whether the undead army would be wiped out or not, he just wanted to consume as many sacrifices of the empire as possible.

In the end, it was only with the intervention of the Divine Emperor's personal soldiers that the situation was barely saved, and the loss of sacrifices was controlled to one third.

Alexis had suffered a loss at the hands of Santa, so this time he made a more correct choice - to send out the most elite demons at the first opportunity.

Under the attack of this high-speed mobile force, the Necromancers suffered casualties one after another.

Around Sandro, a fire shadow kept circling around him and was about to get closer again.

"Sandro, can you get him as close to me as possible?"

"He's too fast. My sword is the only one that has any hope."

The one who spoke was the Skeleton Swordmaster Gadlan, who also realized that if he didn't get rid of the closest Fierce Demon, the entire team would be doomed.

"Think about it carefully. The Fierce Demon's Fiery Shield will cause you to suffer the same damage. It's no different from cutting yourself..."

Tamika is not a sentimental person, but she doesn't want to lose a deceased friend like this.

But there was no better way at the moment. Even her own sword could not be fast enough to "cut off the flames."

"So you'd better rescue me. I still have aspirations for the sword, and I don't want to slack off like this."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the Hokage rushed over.

Upon closer inspection, it was a fierce demon flying at an extremely fast speed, and had just summoned twin blades of fire in its hands.

He was about to rush straight towards Sandro's heart, but the bone dragon dodged cleverly, causing the high-speed flying demon to miss the dragon's heart.

Just as the Fierce Demon was about to fly through between Sandro's two dragon bones, a faster cold light flashed in an instant.

The intact fire was still moving rapidly, but it exploded into several balls of brilliant flames.

One of the remaining flames shot back with extreme precision and hit Gadlan who had just swung his sword.

The skeleton immediately shattered like fireworks, and began to burn from the heart that was hit by the residual flames.

No matter how you look at it, it seems there's no hope.

At this time, the usually slow-moving Skrgan flew over, grabbed Gadlan's head, which was almost burning, and began to cast a spell:

"The magic of gathering spirits!"

Gadlan's head was still burning bright red like flames, but another force was fighting against such flames.

Then Tamika and several liches around her joined the spellcasting.

After a long time, the Skeleton Sword Master, who was left with only a head, finally spoke:
