Chapter 1166 (1/2)
”Your method failed again.” The skeleton, who was strong but completely unknown, spoke coldly again.
This time, tens of thousands of skeleton mages disguised as vanguard cannon fodder army with the fallen are subordinates of this skeleton, so only he can control these skeleton mages. So he would step forward and give formation battle instructions to all skeleton mages: Summon skeleton soldiers to take the road at all costs and cast all magic to gather acid rain to attack the city.
Although skeleton mages are mages and can form a mage group after forming a scale, they are only third-order undead after all. Not only can they cast only a few undead spells, but even their own magic is really limited.
Summoning skeleton soldiers doesn't cost much magic. A skeleton mage can easily summon four or five times. However, only four or five times of summoning is good for building the white bone ladder that can pass through the 30 meter high fortress wall? Therefore, at least 20000 skeleton mages must focus on this without waste, but they must successfully build the white bone ladder.
This is the core goal of this vanguard force.
However, the garrison on the fortress will certainly not allow the undead army to build it. Through the previous offensive and defensive operations, both edrozo and the powerful skeleton can see that the white bone ladder can be built successfully at the end, but it will take a long time and a great loss. This is not what they want to see, let alone what they do not know about the plan after the void principality. In order to avoid long dreams, it is natural to shorten the time as much as possible.
Therefore, when playing, edrozo prepared two tactics.
The first is to constantly summon skeleton soldiers, bring great pressure to the enemy, attack their morale and confidence, and force the other party out of the city for a war.
Unfortunately, this tactic was seen through by William, so Alfred's request for war was naturally not approved. On the contrary, William calmed the army with a few words.
If the first tactic fails, then naturally we can only use the second tactic.
The skeleton beside edrozo ordered the skeleton mage Legion to make every effort, recklessly summoned all skeleton soldiers, and then quickly built the white bone ladder. At the same time, another part of the skeleton mage who mastered the acid rain magic formed a large magic array to share the magic chain with each other and display the strong acid rain enough to cover the whole fortress. The purpose is also very simple, that is to let the other party only watch the construction of the white bone ladder, but it is unable to stop it at all. Moreover, the casting range of the strong acid rain cloud is only limited to the fortress and will not affect outside the fortress.
Although the tactics are different, the purpose is the same: force the defenders out of the city.
Unfortunately, the result failed.
William still had no plans to let the Legion out of town.
”Even if we can't force them out of the city, it can also hurt their morale and even hurt and weaken the defenders in the fortress to a certain extent.” Edrozo's mood was cold and said in a deep voice, ”besides, when your strong acid rain magic is over, the white bone ladder will be built naturally. At that time, I have also killed the wall to fight the enemy In any case, we are on the winning side. ”
”Better so.” The skeleton replied coldly, ”if the rain is urgent, there is no time to suppress it. What I command is slow rain. About 20 minutes later, the white bone ladder will be built. You can start to prepare.”
As the skeleton said, the dark clouds in the sky are not heavy rain, and the rain curtain is not large, but it is highly persistent and continuous, which is very consistent with the rainy season in the southern continent. However, this continuous drizzle has always been the most annoying thing for the people of the southern continent, because this weather will increase the air humidity, and it will be a lot of cloudy and rainy days. It is difficult to dry the clothes, and there is a musty smell.
At the moment, the steel wings in the fortress are very angry.
Although the rain is small, the damage to the impact shield is not obvious and serious, but it will undoubtedly delay this almost torture time, and the dissipation and blow to morale will be more serious than the next rainstorm.
However, the armies of the Principality of void are strange monsters, such as steel wings, thunder lions, Cecilia guards, etc. it is very difficult to reduce their morale. Even if there are only a few hundred people left in the end of a war, the Cecilia guards under clough will not be defeated at all.
This elite army exists almost only in those empires and super first-class kingdoms, but the void principality has it.
But anyway, the emergence of the mage group is indeed a very terrible strategic weapon. As long as they appear on the battlefield, they can often directly reverse the situation of a war, but not everyone can afford a mage group - the so-called mage group, at least hundreds of official mages, and then connect the power of all mages through a special magic chain, Only in this way can we display powerful battlefield level and even strategic level magic.
Therefore, the battlefield where mage regiments generally appear must be a national war of first-class Kingdom level.
In those years, no matter which of the three battlefields between the Principality of Ryan and the kingdom of dabion had the intervention and participation of the mage group, although some mages joined the war on local battlefields, they could not form a scale to directly reverse the battlefield situation.
After all, the details of the void principality are still insufficient. Even if all aspects have the level comparable to the super first-class kingdom or even the Empire, the mage group still doesn't have it. Even though Sean came up with the idea of replacing it by the divine officer battle group, the divine officer battle group can only carry out some divine magic auxiliary blessings to make the war Legion stronger. In the face of the powerful war magic attack formed by the real mage group, it can not produce enough anti magic damage.
The construction of the white bone ladder has been faster and faster. In a twinkling of an eye, it has climbed from 17 meters to 24 meters, and another six meters can be the same as the wall height of the whole wild fortress.
