Lord Chronicle

Chapter 187
Under Pintat's orders, Dinard's army no longer maintained a dense formation, but was divided into two distinct parts.One team continued to attack Lulin Fortress, while the other team resisted the attack of the main force of the undead army.

As long as the fortress is breached and destroyed before the undead rescue the Lulin people, the goal of this campaign will be achieved.Under the threat of Diviji Castle, the Lulin people could never build another fortress.

Seemingly seeing hope from the army of the undead, the resistance of the Lulin people in the fortress became fierce again; correspondingly, the attack of Dinar's troops became more violent; at the same time, the pace of the main force of the undead also began to speed up.

For three purposes, the three armies used all their strength.

The main force of the undead finally collided with the Dinar army. Under the control of the necromancer, the zombies still wearing the old military uniform swung their knives at their former comrades without hesitation.

The ghouls mixed in took advantage of their bodies to rush into Dinar's formation.The vampire zombies plunged into the crowd, continuously sucking the blood of the soldiers to make up for their own damage, like a never-ending fighting machine.

The skeleton archer and Lich at the rear threw bone arrows and poisonous mist even more frantically.Even the hidden necromancer throws a bone spear from time to time.

Facing the crazy attack of the undead, the Dinar army showed great courage.They were arranged closely together, swiping their knives and slashing at the painless zombies.The enemy in front of him was a living comrade-in-arms before, and many soldiers were fighting with tears streaming down their faces.

The archers and the Lich shot at each other, and countless arrows fell into the enemy's formation like rain.The cavalry tried to break into the rear and strike the enemy, but they were still unable to break through as many as a thousand ghouls.

Life and death, the two armies are like two swirling torrents, tightly churned together.

On the hillside, Pintat looked at the fort and at the troops fighting the undead, his bald head was covered with sweat.Even Sol, who was on the side, was affected by it, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

For the sake of the battle, he could no longer stay out of it.Besides, Kress, Darth and Visil are still below.

After a long time, it was the fortress that first turned around in the stalemate.

Under the fierce attack of Dinar's soldiers, the Lulin people finally couldn't hold on anymore.A fault suddenly appeared in the Lulin army blocking the gap. After the soldiers in front died in battle, the follow-up troops had no time to make up for it. Dinar soldiers seized this opportunity and immediately pressed up.

Seeing his own soldiers rushing into the fortress, Pintat shouted excitedly: "Okay..."

However, before the words fell, the situation changed unexpectedly.

The undead knights who were constantly raging in the Dinard army turned around and rushed towards the gap in the fortress as if they had received a mysterious order suddenly.

Although there were many troops attacking the fortress, they could not stop the Necromancer Knights at all.Moreover, the gap was only a dozen meters wide. After the Necromancer Knights arrived, they could easily wipe out all the soldiers who entered.

"These bastards!" Pintat saw fire in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

However, the worst is yet to come. The necromancer seems to have seen through Pintat's intentions. The flying wraiths quickly passed the Dinar troops blocking the undead army. Our army is in the midst of harassment.

So, under the double attack of the Necromancer Knight and the Wraith, the troops over there were finally in chaos.

Worse still to come, don't forget, there is still an army of Lulin in the fortress.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Dinar army, the Lulin people decisively rushed out and began to fight back.

So under the chain reaction, the situation became unmanageable.

"General, we can no longer stop the Lulin. If we let them break through our army and attack the back of another army, it will be too late."

"Yeah, before the situation is at its worst, order a retreat!"

The officers returning from the battlefield, covered in blood, were constantly pleading with Pintat.

Looking at the defeated battlefield, Pintat's clenched fists were full of veins, and his bloodshot eyes were full of anger and unwillingness.

The damned undead, seeing the victory at their fingertips, was destroyed like this.These bastards, even if they are only a few hours late, it's fine...

Saul watched the veteran's rare gaffe, but could only say nothing.No matter who changed, it is difficult to accept this result.

However, the fact has already been done, no matter how regretful it is, it is useless.After all, Pintat is a qualified coach. After putting aside all personal emotions, he made the right decision.

"Send the order, retreat." Pintat waved his hand weakly. At this moment, the exhaustion from the night when he was defeated by Lu Lin's attack reappeared on him again.

The officers nodded silently and silently accepted the order.

Not long after, the Dinar army, which was still fighting hard, began to shrink its troops and slowly withdrew from the battlefield.

The Necromancer didn't pursue them, and most of the Undead's slow-moving weaknesses made it impossible for them to take advantage of the victory and pursue them.The Lulin people, on the other hand, had no energy left to chase them.

In this way, a battle that could have changed the situation of the entire Dinar battle ended in a mediocre way with the unexpected intervention of the undead army.

Although the Lulin people kept their fortress, they lost all occupied land except the fortress, and lost a large amount of supplies, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, especially the destruction of the Black Armored Cavalry Regiment, which was a devastating blow.

Since then they have more than enough protection for themselves, but they are no longer able to invade the territory north of Dinar.

Although Dinar's side regained all the lost ground north of the fortress, they fell short and failed to capture the fortress in the end, allowing Lulin to continue to keep that important bridgehead and control of the southern road.

Moreover, Pintat's troops lost a lot, so they had to switch from offense to defense and keep the recovered lost ground first, and they would not be able to continue going south in the short term.

In general, both sides had gains and losses, and finally drew a tie, and began to use Lulin Fortress as the junction, and continued to enter the stage of stalemate.

The war in the Kingdom of Dinar can only continue to maintain the status quo.

However, at this time, not many people had foreseen that the intervention of the Necromancer would have a series of far-reaching effects on this war.

**********************************************************************************
After retreating dozens of kilometers, the Dinar army began to use a river as a barrier and turned to defense. At the same time, it rested and reorganized its troops to cope with the possible counterattack of the Lulin army.

After the sudden defeat due to the intervention of the undead, almost everyone understood that it would be impossible to capture the fortress again in a short time.

Because of this, everyone is unwilling to lose the victory they have already obtained.

At this time, Pintat's angry roar was being heard from the camp that served as a temporary command post.

"Damn it! Why did the undead appear there? What are those necromancers thinking?"

In the tent, Thor, Darth, and several senior commanders were there, and they were watching the angry Pintat pacing back and forth.

After Pintat's anger dissipated, Sol said: "Maybe this is one of the agreements between the Necromancer and the Lulin people. The Lulin people allow them to collect corpses on the battlefield, and they will fight against Lulin in the battle. When you are in trouble, help out."

Unlike Pintat's anger and the reluctance of Das and others, Thor is actually in a good mood.Because in that chaotic battle, Kress and Vihir were fine.

As for the battle situation, it has been stalemate for so long anyway, and we have not lost, so there is nothing to be angry about.

He even made a joke: "The Zegel Mountains are right next to the Ruhr Territory, which is very convenient for necromancers."

Das couldn't help but said: "Didn't they think about the consequences of directly intervening in human wars like this?"

Sol snorted: "When those guys started collecting the bodies of our soldiers who died in battle, they have been intervening, and now they are just doing it more obviously."

There is one more thing he didn't say. Lao Tzu's territory has been invaded by the undead twice. Could it be that Lovell was really raised by his mother?Didn't this alert you?

His words made Das speechless for a while. Long before he went to the Kingdom of Bamuk, Sol warned King Robert that the Necromancer had an abnormal collusion with the Lulin Army.

But after fighting for so long, no one paid attention to it.So much so that this battle started near the Zegel Mountains, and they didn't even think about guarding against the Necromancer, and it turned out like this.

At this moment, Pintat finally sat back in his chair, and he sighed: "We were always too careless, thinking that the only enemies were the Lulin Empire and the orcs, but we completely forgot about these undead."

Das nodded: "Yes, although the father had received Sol's warning, he thought that necromancers collected corpses just out of habit, and they didn't dare to intervene in the war between the two countries. Look down on these guys."

Pintat rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily: "It was so easy to deal with the orcs, but now there is another necromancer. With them colluding with the Lulin people, it will be difficult for us to capture the fortress."

Thinking of the horror of those undead, the people in the tent fell silent.

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Sol felt that Pintat should be relieved.If even his old man loses confidence, this battle will be impossible to fight.

He coughed lightly, and after attracting other people's attention, he continued, "You don't need to worry so much. The Necromancer just caught us off guard this time. In fact, they also face many problems, which are far from what we seem to be. powerful."

"Oh?" Pintat cheered up: "Continue."

Since he had been in contact with Saul several times, he already had an inexplicable sense of trust in this young man who looked lazy but full of evil ideas.

Sol said: "First of all, the cooperation between the necromancer and the Lulin people cannot be intimate. This time it is only for emergency. If the undead army stays by the fortress for a long time, the Lulin people will not be happy."

This is the truth, as long as it is a normal human being, no one will feel comfortable if there are suddenly a bunch of undead around them.

An officer said: "Master Marquis, what do you mean, those undead will withdraw sooner or later? But the Zegel Mountains are nearby. If we attack again, they may come back at any time."

Sol nodded: "From another perspective, the Necromancer Guild is not as powerful as a country after all. I guess this is all their combat power. So just because we restrain them here, the undead cannot Go threaten somewhere else."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help thinking, unless the necromancer created a few more teleportation arrays.But judging from the information provided by Walsa, those guys are no longer able to make a new teleportation array, so there is no need to worry.

His words immediately attracted other people to nod in agreement. At this time, they also felt that this matter was indeed not so pessimistic from another angle.

Sol continued: "What's more, the actions of the Necromancer Guild this time will definitely cause dissatisfaction from other parties, such as the Magician Guild. They are deadly enemies with the Necromancer Guild, and they will never sit idly by. reason."

"Besides, according to what I have seen, the Adventurer's Guild seems to be very dissatisfied with the Necromancer Guild, and there are rumors that they are also planning to attack the Necromancer."

Here Sol naturally wouldn't say that the Adventurer's Guild and so on were actually fooled into it by himself.It's just that although President Gliss is full of confidence, he probably didn't expect that the Necromancer has accumulated such a rich family background, right?
But then again, when the dead old man said it, he looked like a stinky fart who could turn the Necromancer Guild upside down at any time, why hasn't there been any movement?
Hearing what he said, Das was pleasantly surprised: "Is this true?"

Thor said affirmatively: "That's right, in fact, the Magicians Guild has secretly started investigating the Necromancers Guild. Hmph, this time the Necromancers danced so hard, they must not be able to sit still, and there will be It's a good show."

Pintat pondered for a moment: "Then what do you mean, we don't take the initiative to attack, we just hold the opponent here, and then wait for others to deal with the necromancer?"

Sol nodded and said: "That's it, I can't beat them anyway, just wait and see how it gets better."

An officer couldn't help but said: "Then what you said, how sure are the Mage Guild and the Adventurer's Guild against necromancers?"

This time Saul spread his hand very simply: "It's all my guess, it may be all, or it may not be a point."

It's not that he's playing a rogue, it's just that the Adventurer's Guild and the Magician's Guild are not fuel-efficient lamps, and turning faces is faster than turning over books, so he, Sol, naturally refuses to guarantee them a ticket.

Before the officer could speak, however, Saul added, "Do you have a better way?"

The officer immediately fell silent.

After being relieved by Sol, Pintat's mood has improved a lot.Seeing this, he laughed and said: "Master Marquis is right, there is really no better way, so let's wait and see."

As he said that, he glanced at Sol meaningfully: "Don't forget, Lord Marquis has resolved several major crises in a row for Dinar, and even the mortal enemy of our Northern Legion, the orcs, was resolved by him. This time, I believe it will not be as he expected."

Saul almost spit out a mouthful of water when he heard it.I'm wronged, I just want to comfort an old man who can't think about it. How can I go around and say that I become Zhuge Liang?
Still predicting things like a god?forgive me…

Although he thought so, Depintat reminded that those officers obviously remembered Sol's great achievements, and even looked at him changed.

Even Das did not forget to boo: "Yes, yes, I feel more and more that this kid is possessed by something, you know, even the Black Armored Cavalry regiment fell into his hands, what is the necromancer?" ?”

"Pfft! Cough cough cough..." This time, Sol was completely choked to death.

Because Das's unintentional joke became the most accurate guess about him...

Sol didn't dare to say any more, otherwise who knows if they would dig out the real body of his "possessed demon".He quickly changed the subject: "Since the fighting here has come to an end, I want to leave and go back to Lovell."

When Das heard this, a resentful look immediately drifted over: "Don't you want to just abandon me like this and walk away?"

Saul, man, I know you are very reluctant to let me go (Actually, do you want me to continue to help you?), but there is no need to use this tone.

Pintat laughed: "Your Highness doesn't need to keep you anymore. For a long time to come, we will continue to fight the Lulin people. There is really no need for the Marquis to stay here."

Das was only joking just now, and he sighed: "I understand. Alas, you are so lucky, you can come and leave whenever you want, I guess I will stay for a long time."

If you want to come, come here. Didn't your brother forget that I was abducted by you, right?

Sol was really speechless about this guy, and Sol simply didn't bother to talk to him.After talking to Pintat for a while longer, he said his goodbyes and went back to make preparations for his escape.
