Chapter 213 The Eve of the Storm
Just as I was enjoying the feeling of huge magic power pouring into my body like a tide, a sudden thought of evil and killing suddenly emerged in my mind... In an instant, my head was immediately covered with cold sweat.
When I jumped up from the stone bench with endless fear, Ia, who had been paying attention to me near me, immediately supported me. The other magicians and warriors in charge of protecting me also surrounded me.
"Sir, are you okay?" Seeing my embarrassing look, the court mage who had been following me here since the king, immediately moistened the towel in his hand with a water polo technique and handed it over.
"Fortunately... I'm fine..." After letting go of Yiya, I took the towel and signaled to my subordinates that I was fine. Then I wiped my face hard. At the same time, I kept thinking about what happened just now.
Is that sudden thought a natural mind or a bad omen? For a moment I couldn't figure out what was going on? If my mind was changing to evil and bloodthirsty, then why didn't I have the urge to kill now? If...
"Sir, the undead, it's the undead army..." Just as my mind was flying, a magician stumbled over from the entrance of the castle rooftop with the support of two warriors of the clan, and kept shouting along the way.
"What's going on? Is the undead army coming to us?" Seeing the magician's angry look, a senior mage next to me immediately asked him.
"Yes, nearly 4 million necromancer troops and a large number of animal skeletons are all coming to this side. It is expected that in half an hour, those undeads will appear in front of us." He held back his breath, and the magician explained all the questions that needed to be rewarded in one breath.
"Damn it, we're here so fast! It seems we're busy this time..." When everyone present heard the number of undead army, they couldn't help but breathe. Even I couldn't help but want to curse. 4 million, plus the bones of those animals, I'm afraid that the undead are filled into my big bunker now, which is enough to crush all of us.
"Sir, what should we do? This number is really not something we can resist..."
"What should I do? Cold salmon! Order all the soldiers of the surviving clan to the city wall, and then send 80,000 magicians to the city tower, with 10,000 magicians on each floor. If you have three-dimensional defense like this, I think I can hold on for at least a while longer. The remaining 20,000 magicians will follow me out of the castle..." In no way, I can only hold on now. Otherwise, not only will I not be able to explain to Queen Yaen, but it will not be conducive to my survival on this continent. After all, what will happen after the orc invasion will be like? No one dares to predict.
At this moment, I led more than 10,000 magicians out of the city immediately and began to make various small moves within hundreds of meters in front of the castle to try to cause more trouble for the undead mages before contacting and fighting.
"Retreat, everyone withdraws the castle, and immediately returns to the castle after eliminating the traces... "When the night completely enveloped the earth, a gray skeleton appeared in the sky several kilometers away from us. At this time, the only place I could do was to immediately order all the troops outside the castle to return to the castle immediately and prepare to rely on the walls of the City of Earth to make a final resistance.
Without any unnecessary sound, under the leadership of the senior magicians of each unit, 20,000 magicians floated quickly into the castle in an orderly manner. Even those mages who had no wind magic ability were quickly evacuated with the help of their companions.
At the same time, when the undead are in a big way, on the Canglang defense line, Baut and William discovered in horror that the orc army, which had been desperately attacking for one day, gathered a huge force again after less than an hour of retreating and began to launch another round of strong attack on the Canglang defense line...
"Sir, the soldiers have fought hard enough this day. If this continues, I am afraid that the troops will not be able to bear it..."
Looking at the densely packed orcs outside the city wall, the commander of the Second Legion of the Canglang Defense Line whispered to Baut. Thinking about this day, the number of his fully-built legion killed more than 8,000 in battle. In addition to the severely wounded people who were unable to fight again, the combat effectiveness of this legion was actually only the top 213 at the time of full capacity. If this battle came, I am afraid his second legion would be half-wasted, right?
Although his Second Legion is also called the main legion of the Canglang Defense Line, he also knew that no matter what the situation was, he was the kind of force that charges first and benefits the ones who were left behind. The only ones who were most favored were undoubtedly the First Legion led by William and the Direct Legion to which Baut himself belonged.
"You have to bear it if you can't stand it! Do you think you can't stand it, and the enemy will slow down the offensive? If your Second Legion cannot defend that section of the city wall, then you don't need to see me! In addition, listen to me, this battle is related to the entire Canglang defense line and the safety of the entire Eastern Continent. Keep it, hello, I'm good, everyone, if you can't defend it, then let's go to see the King of Hell together..." Out of dissatisfaction with the situation, Baut's tone of speaking no longer had the usual easing, and became rapid and stiff.
"Sir, do you see if we are sending the magician troops from the Yaen Kingdom over? After all, their long-range attacks are still very effective in harming the orcs..." Seeing that his colleague was trained by Bot, William also stood up to inquire because he had been taken care of by Bot.
"Hmph, don't dream anymore. The spy just came to report that more than 6 million undead have rushed towards them, of which 4 million are skeleton soldiers. Do you think that our narrow city wall can withstand such a number of undead attacks? As long as it is broken, the entire Canglang defense line will be completely destroyed. Now, they can only rely on the castle's defense line with short defense and strong defense to delay the undead attacks. I hope they can support it for a while and give us the chance to repel the orc troops." Baut replied expressionlessly to his favorite general's suggestion, really disagreed.
Similarly, after listening to Baut's words, the hearts of many generals on the Canglang's defense were already covered with a shadow. Facing the orc troops with a larger combat power gap of more than 1 times the number of them, no one could calm down even if they relied on the high walls.
