The 4th Caribbean Division...well, the soldiers of the 4th Division of the National Independence and Freedom Army of the Spirit are on the Isle of Mourn day and night, carrying out the task of eradicating the remaining undead creatures.
Although the undead souls lost the command of the lich or dark mage, it was precisely because of this that the uncontrolled undead souls fled all over the mountains and plains.
These undead creatures still retain their most instinctive habits,
Moreover, there are many dark knights with intelligence among them. They are the advanced powers under the Necromancer.
These dark mages either choose to fight to the death with humans, or they escape and hide in a cave deep in the forest, and then sneak out at night to harass humans, kill a few careless and unlucky ghosts, or quietly let them go.
Make a fire or something.
This greatly increases the difficulty of eradication.
The 50,000 to 60,000 Free Spirit Army spent twenty days searching all the peaks and valleys on the island inch by inch before basically clearing away all the undead on the island.
After there was no threat or harassment, the construction work on the Island of Mourn began immediately. The Flying Eagle Construction Company raced against time to build the docks and military camps on the island before the next batch of fleets arrived.
At the same time, Lord Luo had already led the strike fleet composed of the Naian fleet and the Elf Kingdom battleships to set off again and arrived at the edge of the second island on the route.
Lorraine stood on the island of the Enterprise, raised his telescope, and looked into the distance. Behind him, the most powerful fleet in the world was slowly unfolding.
Through the telescope, Lord Lorraine clearly saw that the sky over the distant island was covered with dark clouds. A black swirling storm hovered above the island.
There was lightning and thunder in the slowly rotating dark clouds. It looked extremely strange. The sailors on the fleet even held crosses and prayed to the God of Light.
There is a layer of gray mist surrounding the island, which completely blocks the sea area around the island. People can't help but guess whether there is something scary like a ghost ship hidden inside.
At a glance, it is clear that this island is definitely occupied by the undead.
Lord Luo didn't even need to step forward to conduct reconnaissance. He could tell that the entire island was now very well managed by the lich. They must have been armed to the teeth and laid countless traps, just waiting for them to step forward and fall into their traps.
This is the terrifying thing about lichs. With just a few lichs, they can turn a city into a ghost realm full of death, making it a forbidden area for all living creatures.
The elemental mage cannot do this even if he desperately tries his best to do so.
"Trouble..." Lorraine couldn't help but cursed secretly, and then handed the telescope to the hand of Archduke Julius next to him.
As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, this old guy should have been sitting in the rear and strategizing, instead of staying in the forward ranks like he is now.
But the chief of general staff of the coalition forces, General Wabdor, led the Maple Leaf Danlin military observation group over.
Originally, the commander of this expedition was likely to be from Wabador. Archduke Julius was from the royal family of the Ruman Empire. Many countries opposed him continuing to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Continental Allied Forces.
This position must be filled by a neutral mission, and the deputy commander-in-chief is Lord Lorraine. Together with their father-in-law, the coalition will become the sole authority of the Ruman people.
But the old guy in Wabdor is too old and lacks energy. The commander of the coalition forces is the busiest person since the war started. He has to work all night long every day, so he naturally needs to be energetic and clear-minded.
Coupled with the cross-sea expedition, it is easy to adapt to the climate, and you may die at some point. After weighing many parties and lobbying from the Ruman people, everyone recommended Archduke Julius to take on this role.
Although he was elected by the public, Wabador also obtained the position of Chief of General Staff, and was regarded as the second-ranking figure in the coalition, half a rank higher than Lord Lorraine, but the old guy was extremely unconvinced.
Wabador himself did not want the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. He could not command the army of the Ruman Empire, and he did not understand the tactical system of the security forces.
But Wabador is most jealous of anyone who calls him old, and the reason for rejecting him as commander-in-chief just touches the old guy's dark side.
Moreover, Wabador is addicted to alcohol and drinks several sips every day. What’s even more frightening is that this old guy’s wine is very bad~!!!
As soon as he drank too much, he became drunk and went crazy. He picked up the guy and wanted to quarrel with the Grand Duke in public, so that everyone could keep their eyes open and take a closer look. In fact, Mr. Wa was also young and strong, not old at all.
Although Archduke Julius was known as the Butcher General, he still had a headache when he saw that old guy with a white beard messing around, so he found an opportunity and ran out.
He left the old man and a group of little kids behind.
The Grand Duke took the telescope at this time and scanned the circle carefully. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Lorraine, what's going on?" According to the latest information from a month ago, this island, like the Island of Sorrow, was created by
It was garrisoned by a motley army of Semites.
There are only a thousand people on the island, and the defense is extremely lax. How did it become like this now?"
Lorraine helplessly spread his hands, smiled bitterly, and said: "Those lichs are not fools. They used the undead to successfully drag us to the Island of Mourn, and they strengthened their defenses at this time."
The Grand Duke looked at him in surprise, was stunned for a long time and said: "This... this is not scientific~!
When did the lichs learn the art of war?"
Lorraine sighed, this is indeed unscientific.
Edwood is a rare smart person among lichs, but a few years ago when he fought with Vera and himself, he would only release skeleton soldiers at the risk of his life.
I never thought about using a lollipop or something to abduct that stupid girl Vera.
Lorraine said: "Not long ago. Well, I remember I made a report, and we had already experienced it on the Island of Sorrow. At that time, they attracted our attention from the front, and sent another part of the troops to sneak around behind and attack. If it hadn't been for us
The firepower is so strong that we probably won't be able to get out.
I remind the staff that if we encounter the undead in the future, we need to change our tactics."
The Grand Duke couldn't help but take a breath of air and murmured: "This is a troublesome matter."
The undead who don't understand the art of war are already enough of a headache. But now, with a command, their combat power must be doubled at least, making it even more difficult to deal with.
Lord Luo gave him a dissatisfied look: It was obvious that his cheap father-in-law didn't read his report at all, and even failed to keep it complete. Some bureaucratic bastard had already stuffed it into the toilet as toilet paper.
Because it has to take care of the interests of all participating countries, the current coalition headquarters is probably the most bureaucratic place in the world.
Seeing the dissatisfied look on Lord Luo's face, the Grand Duke couldn't help but laugh dryly. He didn't even look through the reports piled up one foot thick on his desk.
When this man was young, he had a headache when he read textbooks.
Then he continued: "This is still unscientific. If the undead really understand the art of war, why don't they strengthen the defense on the first island.
At that time, our army came from afar and was tired."
Lorraine was also frightened, but after thinking about it carefully, she burst into laughter and said: "Your Highness, I think the truth should be very simple.
Don't you realize something is missing from the Isle of Mourning?"
The Grand Duke was startled and said: "There is something missing? What is it?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "Ship~!
The undead don't have wings, so they need ships to transport troops and supplies, and to lay out such a large-scale defense."
The Grand Duke reacted immediately. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm telling you. Looking at the sea, there is a layer of dead bodies floating on the land, but I still feel that something is missing.
This bunch of poor people are poor. They have no money and no boat, and they still imitate others in fighting. What a bunch of fools~!"
Since the last time he took stock of the assets of Feiying Company, especially after taking into account the market value of the stock market, and knowing the wealth of Catherine and Mr. Lei, the Grand Duke was now trembling.
Although the Grand Duke is not of the rich generation and is often short of money, he is the father of the rich generation.
Now he shakes his body at every turn, displaying the majestic air of a wealthy businessman.
No matter who you catch, you will call them poor people when you open your mouth.
It would be fine if he was still the same pauper as before. The key point is that now, he is indeed very rich.
Therefore, every time at this time, he would make people angry and angry, and there was nothing he could do about it. He could only curse in his heart: Why are you dragging him? He has a good daughter and a good son-in-law.
The Grand Duke was also very proud of this, and then declared that he finally understood the true meaning of the article of "conquering the enemy without fighting" in the Eastern Art of War.
At this time, the Grand Duke was the same as before. He shook his body and showed the majestic appearance of a nouveau riche. He curled his big mouth and looked at the island in the distance for a few times, but then he couldn't help but sigh and said: "If it is true
If this is the case, then there will be trouble here."
Lorraine also nodded in agreement: There are no ships on the Island of Sorrow, which shows that their transportation capacity is insufficient. Facing the lightning assault of the human fleet, they can only and only have time to set up defense on the second line.
And since the lichs gave up the first island so resolutely and bravely, their defense on this island must be extremely strong.
The Grand Duke looked at the Lord with some gloating, and said: "You have always been the one taking the lead, what are you going to do now? If there is no other way, why not let me take charge?"
Sir Alex couldn't help but feel furious: This old guy has been thinking about taking credit for Sir Alex's first battle, and it hasn't been a day or two.
He immediately sneered, then waved his hand downwards and shouted angrily: "All attack~!"
The adjutant next to him watched the quarrel between the father-in-law and the son-in-law, and he felt a drum in his heart. He secretly wondered, isn't it said that the mother-in-law and the son-in-law are incompatible? Why is this also the case between the father-in-law and the son-in-law?
Nowadays, prices are so high, houses are so expensive, and wages are so low... If I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law join forces to attack me, will I still be alive?
Already?
For a moment, the young adjutant was confused about the future and almost didn't hear Lord Luo's orders.
Lorraine couldn't help turning her head and glared at him fiercely.
The adjutant reacted immediately and hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice: "The commander-in-chief has ordered, all attack!"
"All attacks."
"Attack~!"
"..."
"You little bastards, destroy this damn island for me~!"
As the orders were given, the battleship suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. At the same time, the horn sounded.
Beside them, the majestic battleships and cruisers started to move forward one after another. Behind them, they left white waves.
The warship arrived more than ten kilometers away from the island. At this time, the war fortresses on the mother ship took off one after another. They stayed in the air for a while, formed a huge formation, and rushed towards the island first.
The war fortresses gathered together, and the huge roar was like thunder. It was deafening.
Lorraine stood on the bridge, holding a telescope and staring closely at the war fortress in the sky.
I saw them roaring through the gray fog, and then I saw fire flashing in the middle of the gray fog. Then, huge explosions came one after another.
Hearing the sound, Lorraine and the Grand Duke couldn't help but look at each other: something wasn't right.
The war fortress had just burst into the fog and was still some distance away from the island. Why did they drop bombs in a hurry?
And from the sound of the explosion, it seemed like everything was thrown into the water??~!!
Almost at the same time, Lorraine and the Grand Duke all shouted loudly: "Quick. The battleship is moving sideways, sound the alarm. Everyone is on level one combat readiness."
"Level 1 alert~!" the herald shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone get on the gun position."
This is the instinct of good commanders.
They don't even need to look, just listen, or even use intuition to analyze and judge the balance of forces between the enemy and ourselves and the detailed situation from the chaotic battle, and then make accurate responses at the first time.
Perhaps their orders were too hasty, which made the atmosphere on the ship suddenly tense.
War has sounded its whistle one after another.
At the same time, the warships one after another began to turn their bulky bodies, and the gun doors were also opened one after another. Through the gun windows, you could see that the soldiers inside were rushing back and forth, loading ammunition into the gun chambers, and then struggling to put them into the gun chambers.
The muzzle of the gun was pushed out of the window.
A few seconds later, black dots on the islands in the distance were seen quickly passing through the fog and appearing in people's sight.
Lorraine raised the telescope and observed carefully.
That was the war fortress we just stormed into.
'One, two, three...' Lorraine looked and counted quietly in his heart. Each of these war fortresses is the Lord's heart and soul, and there must be no room for error.
Fortunately, there were twenty-four seats, and not one was missing. But then he heard an officer next to him starting to count twenty-six and twenty-seven. The prince's mind immediately burst into flames.
Grandma's, you're blind.
There are only twenty-four seats in total. How come there are twenty-seven of them? Are they still their damn offspring?
The prince cursed secretly, raised the telescope, looked again, just took a glance, and then slapped the young officer next to him on the head. He cursed sternly: "The one behind you is his mother.
The enemy, quickly order the remaining light war fortresses to take off."
The officer staggered after being slapped by the Lord, and then he reacted, hurriedly put on his hat, and shouted loudly: "The light war fortress takes off to meet the enemy. Quick, take off to meet the enemy..."
Amidst the shouts, several war fortresses on the deck had already soared into the sky. These light war fortresses were specially designed and manufactured for air combat. They were fast, flexible, and had strong firepower.
In just a few breaths, those light war fortresses had already passed their own war fortresses and rushed towards the enemy's war fortresses behind them.
Without seeing much action, two of the enemy's war fortresses flashed with flames and then fell toward the sea.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but cheer.
But then I saw more black spots on the island breaking out of the fog and appearing in the sunlight.
They looked small, but densely packed, like a flock of birds. They gathered together, forming a huge dark cloud, and flew towards the war fortress. You could vaguely hear sharp calls coming from time to time.
.
Lorraine couldn't help but frowned: What is this?
At this time, the few war fortresses that went out for bombing had returned to the mother ship.
Before the war fortress at the head could stop, an officer immediately jumped down from it and ran to the bridge in a bounding motion.
In his anxiety, he didn't even have time to salute Lorraine before he shouted loudly: "Sir, it's a gargoyle bat ghost. There are a lot of gargoyle bat ghosts on the island."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
In this war, due to the rapid counterattack of humans, especially in the Battle of Fantino, most of the enemy's ships were sunk, leaving the Necrons without means of transportation. Even if the Necrons wanted reinforcements, they would not be able to do so.
There is nothing you can do, you can only sigh in despair.
This allowed the war to end in less than two years, but this does not mean that the undead are not powerful.
Gargoyle bat ghosts are one of their units. Although they are not powerful in themselves, they are numerous and fast. They are often used to sneak attack human mages, priests, or archers. And because they move quickly, they can often attack
Humanity has caused considerable losses.
At this time, the officer continued to shout: "When we rushed in, we were unprepared and were almost successfully attacked by them. Fortunately, the brothers had quick eyesight and quick hands. They picked up the guys and blasted them down. But the ones behind them were beaten down.
There were still bat ghosts climbing up the outer walls of several buildings, and we didn't dare to open fire on our own people.
Sir, find someone to get rid of them quickly..."
Before he could finish his words, gunshots could be heard crackling outside. Obviously, the soldiers on the ship had also discovered the gargoyles and were shooting at them.
The gargoyles were beaten and fell down one after another.
Some saw that something was wrong and abandoned the war fortress in the sky, screaming, and rushed towards the soldiers below.
The soldiers raised their guns and kept firing.
Under the fire of the guns, the gargoyles flew unsteadily, screamed, and fell to the deck.
However, the soldiers still did not relax. As they moved forward, they kept firing at them until they were all broken into pieces with bullets.
At this time, the gargoyles from behind were flying quickly. Although they moved quickly, they were still far behind in front of the war fortress.
The densely packed gargoyles gathered together like a big black cloud. Although they hadn't arrived yet, the sharp and harsh screams had already reached everyone's ears.
Someone made a rough calculation and found that there were tens of thousands of them.
Everyone turned to look at Lorraine, what should they do now? (To be continued...)
