Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 102 Siege from Two Sides
"There is a big guy approaching. The No. [-] counterweight trebuchet on the east wall is ready to reload, and the angle is adjusted in advance!"

"In addition, the ballista near point five is also ready to replace it with armor-piercing crossbow bolts."

"The mage group is ready to cast spells when the target approaches."

Outside the city wall, a huge stitch monster with a height of about six meters was slowly approaching the city wall with heavy steps.

Stitch monsters are undead monsters stitched together by a large number of corpses, also known as abominations. Their cores are located in the thick hollows of corpses, with thick skin and strong flesh.

There are circles of iron chains wrapped around this thing to increase its defense. It is armed with various heavy weapons. The most commonly used ones are huge bone cutters and bloody hooks or meat forks. The bone cutters can easily tear apart leather armor, even if the lock is locked The scale armor can be forcibly torn even under the huge force of hatred.

One end of the meat hook is connected with a chain, which can be thrown out to hook the target and then dragged back forcibly with the powerful force of hatred.

To deal with this kind of big guy, you can only use heavy weapons, trebuchets and crossbow arrows, of course spells are also fine.

At the same time, after Li Qing received the battle report from his subordinates from the front line, he ordered Long Shou to fly over and provide support according to the situation.

Then, there is no more, there are more than a dozen such abominations, and there are also more than a dozen large resurrected corpses, and only one of them is close to the city wall, so there is no need to panic.

The abomination slowly approached the city wall under the crowd of many undead, and when it approached a certain distance, the commander yelled loudly:

"The No. 3 counterweight trebuchet is ready, 2, 1, [-], launch!"

The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time smashed the tether with a hammer, and the huge counterweight stone fell, and the boulder in the net pocket at the other end of the lever was lifted up to fly high into the sky, drawing a long arc in the air and hitting the shape with precision. Abominable Stitcher Chest.

The unimaginable force smashed the large pieces of rotten and smelly corpses on the surface of the suture monster, and even the iron chains wrapped around the body were smashed. The huge force knocked down the suture monster, which was six meters high, and overwhelmed it. There are more than a dozen skeletons on the side.

But he wasn't dead yet. This blow only smashed part of the Stitched Monster's body, but didn't hurt the core inside.

The Stitch Monster struggled to get up, and continued to stagger towards the city wall.

The commander turned his head expressionlessly, and shouted at the seven or eight ballistas that had been pushed to the side of the city wall and adjusted their angles:

"Get ready, get in range and fire freely without order!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the dragon vein snake mage group behind him and said:

"When the abomination enters the casting range, no command is required, and it can attack freely."

He didn't have time to worry about this, because the enemy had launched a full-scale attack at this time, and many suture monsters, resurrected corpses, and a large number of bone monsters stopped at the rear had already left their positions and approached the city wall.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a dull ejection sound, a huge boulder flew over the city wall and flew out of the city, and precisely hit the skeleton of an unknown giant beast. This huge white bone skeleton monster nearly five meters high was smashed to pieces.

The reanimated corpse and the Stitched Monster still have carrion buffers on them, even if the counterweight trebuchet hits the front, it won't take a second.

But it’s different to replace it with a hard but brittle white bone monster. As long as it hits it, the skeleton will collapse directly, and even if the soul is not wiped out, it will lose its fighting power.

Under the pressure of a standard counterweight trebuchet, no skeleton monster can cross a certain red line. As long as it gets close, it will be destroyed with a precise blow like a guided missile, and there will be no escape.

Below the city wall, a large number of skeletons and zombies lie under the city wall, squeezing up layer by layer and starting to pile up.

Obviously, the commander in the rear is going to use one of the most commonly used siege tactics by the undead, the backfill tactic, and is going to use corpses to pile up the bottom of the city wall.

At the same time, various undead heroes in the rear also slowly approached the battlefield, and a large number of ghosts floated in the air and approached the city wall.

There are commanders, professional adjutants, and professional observers on the four walls.

The observers specially observed the battlefield situation, and immediately reported the ghost to the adjutant or commander, and then some dragon snakes were assembled and took their positions.

Spells are the best way to deal with ghosts.

Fortunately, the five hundred dragon-veined snakes were pulled up. At any rate, the whole magic system is good for dealing with ghosts. In addition, the Dragon Shoulong method flew up to meet the ghosts, and quickly blocked the ghosts.

There are three attack methods of ghosts, one is direct attack, two kinds of additional damage will be added cold and undead, and the speed will be slowed down. The lower the target's physique, the stronger the deceleration effect.

The second attack method is the soul claw. The ghost can directly attack the target's soul, and even forcibly grab the soul of a mortal directly from the body. withstand.

But in the second way, ordinary ghosts are incapable of doing it.

The third attack method is to occupy.

The powerful ghost forcibly tore the target's soul out of the body, and then entered the body to control it.

But this kind of control is only temporary, after all, it is not your own body, so it will naturally reject it.

These two undead heroes each have hundreds of ghost subordinates, most of them only have the first attack method, only a few have the second attack method, and it is estimated that only the strongest ghosts have the third attack method.

Hundreds of transparent ghosts pounced on the city wall against the rain of arrows, and pounced on the sword raised by the defenders.

Several soldiers were thrown by the ghost, their whole bodies trembled, their faces quickly turned pale, and their figures also froze, as if they were frozen.

Among them, more than [-] ghosts rushed out from behind the soldier, grabbing the struggling soul of a soldier as they passed through the body, and the soldier behind him fell to the ground like a corpse.

Although the separated souls can return to the body within a short period of time, but in this chaotic battlefield, no one has time to help their souls return to their bodies.

However, they are not necessarily dead.

After pushing out their souls, these ghosts threw them away, and were about to pounce on another soldier beside them, but the Dragon Vein Snakes who had been prepared for a long time rushed up.

They are holding weapons that have been blessed with energy spells, which can cause substantial damage to ghosts.

The ghost did not continue to attack the souls captured initially, nor did they push them away. These souls pushed out of the body would be attracted by the body not far away and slowly float back.

Not all lost souls can return, but most can come back alive.

And all this is so inconspicuous on this chaotic battlefield, neither the defenders nor the enemy paid attention to these struggling souls, and the two sides fought back and forth on this high city wall.

As more and more undead poured in, they used backfill tactics to fill up the bottom of the city wall, especially after several large resurrected corpses and abominations rushed in, their huge bodies also pressed up, directly piled up the pile of corpses several times A piece of rice.

At this time, most of the dragon-veined snakes on the city wall were haunted by ghosts, and the rest were still fighting, so there was no time to burn their bodies.

Li Qing sits at the core of God's Domain and has turned on the projection function of God's Domain. There are four huge light curtains around him, which show the situation around the city, and he can clearly see the current fierce battle situation.

There are too many enemies, the two strands add up to nearly [-] undead, even if they stand still, they will have to chop for an unknown amount of time.

But he wasn't too flustered. Although the enemy was strong, he wasn't weak either. Besides, he hadn't shown his true strength so far, not to mention hole cards like Lava Crystal Dragon and Iron Golem Squadron, even war spells were useless.

Li Qing would not use these trump cards until the enemy leader and hero did not act, and the city wall was not in danger of being breached.

Although this battle is dangerous, the situation is still under Li Qing's control.

Because this is an opportunity for the entire God's Domain.

Such a large undead army can just be used for training.

Think about how the civilians and remnant soldiers who slaughtered the city of Yisnake people have trained such a strong elite. Now these fifty thousand undead are all combat soldiers, and the overall combat experience they can provide is massive.

After the First World War, those who survived will definitely improve their strength greatly. It is possible to be promoted several times in a row, or even directly promoted to the top.

so.
Li Qing looked back, thought for a while, and ordered Dai Lirong to prepare to call two thousand civilians.

He wants to expand his troops, in case the losses are too large and the troops are not enough, and it will be too late to be promoted in a while.

Dai Lirong's movements were fast, and the assembly was completed in less than 10 minutes. Li Qing quickly issued a series of orders to the commanders of the cities, and then left the command center to go to Shenyu Farm.

Now most of the civilians in Shenyu Farm are concentrated on the third floor of Shenyu Farm and Shenyu Ranch. A small town has been established on these four floors, each with a population of about [-].

Dai Lirong only needs to issue Li Qing's order to the towns, and the mayor of the town will summon the militia, and the militia will be drawn out directly, there is no need to select one by one.

After a year, these civilians have already gotten used to life in God's Domain.

Although the town is not big, and each floor of the Shenmu Farm is not very big, but for these natives who were born in foreign planes, most of them have never left the village in their entire lives, so the influence is not great.

Now only some of these civilians are farming, and the place is so big that it doesn't take too many people to be busy.

So each family only needs one person.

In order to allow these dependents to have something to do and not be idle, Dai Lirong Shang Yingxin and Xia Mang thought hard and worked out a set of circulation order within the territory.

First of all, the first and third floors of Shenyu Farm are divided into farmland, the first floor is dedicated to growing rice, the second floor is dedicated to growing vegetables, and the third floor is dedicated to planting wheat, all of which are grown twice a year.

Then one person from each family will farm the land.

Another person is assigned to serve the lord. For example, some civil servants are needed for public construction in some territories, or civilian labor is usually dispatched to dig land, log, etc., all of which are drawn from here.

After smoking these, there are basically few idlers in a family.

Of course, there is excess and work to do.

Some jobs in towns need manpower, and the town militias need manpower.

Now Dai Lirong and others are already thinking about whether to establish a financial system in the territory, try to pay them wages, and allow a small number of civilians to open shops and trade freely.

This is an inevitable path. When the scale of the people within God's Domain expands, the original model will gradually be eliminated.

Just like the Blackstone Realm, which is the divine domain of the Blackstone God Throne, there are more than 800 million people in it, and it has long been a complete society. The civilians in it can freely enter and exit the Blackstone Realm, and can trade freely.

Of course, an apprentice of a war lord like Li Qing must not do this. His domain is too small, and it is not embedded in the tree of eternity. It is still completely independent inside.

But you can try it out first, establish a small social system within God's Domain, and lay the foundation for future changes.

After all the militiamen gathered, Li Qing took out [-] standard imperial infantry cards and [-] standard imperial archer cards, and promoted these ordinary civilians to arms in large numbers.

After completing all the promotions, it was already an hour later.

Fortunately, the promotion doesn't have to be done one by one, otherwise two thousand would be too exhausting to finish.

The promoted soldiers all changed their equipment and were directly transferred out to the battlefield on the spot.

Weapons and equipment don’t need to be made on site. He has prepared a lot of them long ago, including high-carbon refined steel weapons, multi-layered large wooden shields, and a three-piece set of super-strong synthetic armor. There are thousands of sets in total, which are completely sufficient.

Each section of the city wall was supported by more than [-] new forces, and the pressure dropped instantly.

The extra [-] and a part of the previously reserved troops were reserved as a reserve team, dedicated to burning the corpses of teammates thrown back from the city wall.

This is the face of the undead, the spirit of the undead can resurrect the corpse.

So before the battle started, Li Qing gave an order that all those who died in the battle be thrown back to the inner city wall before the enemy casts their psychic spells. There are a large number of fires behind the city wall, and the corpses will be burned directly.

After an hour and a half of preparation, the siege battle had just entered its most intense state. A large number of skeletons and zombies had rushed up the city wall along several meaty slopes that had been forcibly backfilled, fighting with the defenders on the city wall.

At the same time, the backbone of the undead army, such as ghouls, had just approached the city wall, and a large number of Liches also surrounded the lich hero and another terrifying knight hero and approached the city wall.

At this time, Longshoulongfa was not idle either, he spread his wings and flew in mid-air, cooperating with the dragon-veined snake-man, tearing into a ball with the ghosts rushing from all directions.

The abilities of these ghosts are completely helpless to Dragon Shou and Dragon Art, and their means of directly attacking the soul cannot shake their powerful dragon souls. On the contrary, Dragon Shou and Dragon Art can cause fatal damage to ghosts no matter ordinary physical attacks or spells.

It's also because the speed of the ghosts is too fast and flexible, otherwise they would die if they sprayed each dragon's breath one by one.

However, after more than an hour of fighting, most of the ordinary ghosts have died in their hands, and now there are only a few elite ghosts and two ghost heroes left.

These two ghost heroes are fifth-level heroes, not sixth-level extraordinary, but in these two undead hero troops, there are indeed quite a few extraordinary level powerhouses.

In addition to the two hero leaders, one or two of the heroes commanded by the various units under his command have been promoted to the sixth level, plus the strongest resurrected giant beast and the tallest stitch monster are also at the sixth level.

Adding up the two sides, the total number of powerhouses who have reached the sixth level is about eight or nine, far more than Li Qing's side.

However, neither the Stitched Monster nor the Reanimated Behemoth is considered a real sixth-order, at best it is a pseudo-extraordinary, that is, it has no extraordinary qualities, nor an extraordinary aura. It is simply pushed by strong physique and strength.

Strictly speaking, this kind can only be called the sixth level, not extraordinary.

Extraordinary is above the sixth level, but the sixth level is not necessarily extraordinary, and the two cannot be confused.

This kind of pseudo-transcendence with nothing but physique and strength is stronger than the fifth-order, and it is much worse than the real super-extraordinary. Even a powerful fifth-order hero like Dragon Shoulongfa may not be able to beat it, and even Li Qing is alone. Can pick one.
