Chapter 1163

A skeleton stood close to the wall of the fortress, bent against the wall, and then raised the shield in his hand on his skull. Then, a very unique bone material ejected from it and adhered to the walls around the city wall to form a solid bone layer, which looks like a bone adhered to the wall.

Then the second and third skeletons followed quickly.

They are very close to the first one, and the log shields in their hands overlap each other to avoid the exposed gap.

As more and more skeleton soldiers approached the wall, a wooden shield ladder was soon built at the edge of the whole wall.

With more and more skeleton soldiers pouring into the city wall, the scale of this ladder is becoming faster and faster. And with the gradual formation of the first step, more skeletons began to build the second step instead of the first step.

A skeleton soldier jumped onto a wooden shield, repeated the previous action, pressed his body against the wall, and then began to stick to the wall. However, compared with the "ladder" based on the bottom layer, the height of the second skeleton is obviously not high. It seems that it looks like squatting, but its firmness is not much inferior.

Moreover, with the gradual formation of the second ladder, a new group of skeleton soldiers no longer climbed to the third floor, but close to the first floor, and then put the rusty sword in their hands through the body of the first skeleton soldier, directly with the whole arm through the ribs. The wooden shield in their hands is placed on the front wooden shield, which is not simply supported, so that the wooden shield of the second row of skeletons will not have a gap.

As the two skeleton soldiers approached, some powdery substance secreted from their bones soon adhered to them.

The area of the stairs has been expanded.

People standing on the city wall can see this scene clearly almost as long as they lower their heads a little.

This is the unique war art of the undead family - the white bone ladder.

With the expansion of the ladder area, new skeletons soon climbed to the third floor, and then began to build the ladder of the third floor.

In this way, whenever the height is built one floor, the ladder of the lower floor will immediately follow and expand.

However, it was only more than ten minutes. A six story white bone ladder had been built under the whole fortress wall. The extended range is 20 or 30 meters away. And this is not the end. There are still a steady stream of skeleton soldiers charging towards the wall. Skeleton archers still hide in the array of skeleton archers and shoot those white bone arrows at the wall. On the contrary, those skeleton mages don't dare to come forward at the moment because one of them died in an accident.

Compared with those that can be sacrificed and consumed, even if the skeleton mage has only three levels, it is very difficult to summon materials - not all the Summoning Magic of the dead can summon skeleton mages. They must need certain auxiliary materials, and the dead must have certain magic talent before they die.

Otherwise, even magic apprentices or magicians who have stepped into the silver world can only ordinary skeletons or corpses.

This vanguard force can gather so many skeleton mages, and even many skeleton mages, which may have occupied a quarter of the whole southern undead army. Such a huge scale is only used for cannon fodder consumption, which is simply an unimaginable thing. If you cooperate with the forces of the undead regular army, it is enough to destroy the whole first-class kingdom.

No one knows what these undead creatures are thinking.

The only thing you can know is that the building speed of the white bone ladder is getting faster and faster. It only depends on less than 20000 steel wings - although there are 50000 regular army formations with steel wings, less than 20000 people are specialized in bow shooting skills. Others or guest archers are only responsible for blind shooting of coverage attack, but if you really want to shoot accurately, It is obviously impossible - it is impossible to control the construction speed of the ladder at all.

"They're speeding up." Abaza wiped the blood on his left face.

He just leaned out a little because he wanted to pay attention to the construction speed of the white bone ladder. As a result, he was wiped across his cheek by a tributary arrow and scratched a blood mark. Although the injury is not very serious, the white bone arrow shot by the skeleton Archer carries a certain amount of toxin. Although emergency treatment has been carried out, Abaza still feels numb in his cheek.

"If they continue to lose like this, they will use the arms of the skeleton system." Levi glanced through the gap of the impact shield and said, "are we just letting them build the white bone ladder?"

All eyes were on William.

But William's face showed another intoxicated smile: "laissez faire? How is it possible It's just that it hasn't had much effect yet. Wait a minute. Let the main force of the War Bow force put on those archers, whether bones or skeletons, and shoot at me. "

Although Abaza didn't understand the reason, he nodded and began to order.

Soon, the counterattack center of gravity from the steel wings was adjusted. Originally, the archer shooting of the War Bow force was to find the skeleton archers as much as possible, and then several people nearby cooperated to directly solve it with a powerful shot. But now, because they no longer pay attention to which skeleton archers are in the hands of the skeleton archers, the dense arrow rain covered the attack, which soon made these skeleton archers suffer.

For a time, the army of the dead, who had already suppressed the arrow rain at the head of the city, was immediately suppressed again.

But what everyone didn't expect was that after these undead who were responsible for long-range operations were suppressed, the construction speed of the white bone ladder was much slower. More than ten minutes ago, a six story ladder was built. At this time, more than 20 minutes later, it was just two floors again.

Eliza's eyes lit up and looked at William with a bright look.

"This is a suppression tactic, isn't it?" Levi whispered.

"Yes." Eliza nodded, "and it's a very accurate strategic push suppression I've been observing the key nodes of each other's white bone ladder before. Originally, I thought the key should be those skeleton mages. As long as their summoning speed can be limited, the construction speed of the white bone ladder will be slowed down, but I didn't expect that the most critical place is not here. "

Levy nodded and understood what was going on.

But Abaza didn't understand. He touched his head and asked modestly, "Your Highness Levi, why is this?"

The strong in the legendary realm are all called his highness to distinguish the huge gap between the Holy Land and legend.

Of course, this is also the reason why they are not very familiar with each other.

Like Rena and shefanio, although they are also real legendary strong men, generally no one calls them their highness. Dwight, who was born in the cavalry regiment, still called them chief and envoy or saint, while old people such as Alfred called them Rena and shefanio.

"Because of the offensive." Levi said, "the previous attack was suppressed, so the skeleton soldiers can charge without scruples. But now the other side's offensive is suppressed by us, so they have to bear more damage. But those skeleton mages did not dare to continue to move forward, so once the skeleton soldiers in front of the front lost something, they could not continue to summon because of the casting distance. "

"Simply put, it is the general trend." Eliza added.

Abaza nodded vaguely. He really didn't understand the key, but it didn't matter. As the smartest and resourceful man of the empty barbarians, Abaza always likes to think, so when he has free time, he will go back and think about the key.

"So, can we hold it?" Abaza asked again.

"I can't hold it." This time, Alfred answered the question. Even he could clearly see the key to the question.

Perhaps now the construction speed of the white bone ladder is limited, but it is only limited. The number of 300000 undead troops is no joke. Maybe others don't know, but Alfred, as a senior commander, knows that the strategic reserves in Senegal are not particularly sufficient. Although the rear is already in emergency mobilization and transportation, before these logistics units really arrive, After all, there are only about 500000 steel arrows in the fortress, which is the quantity of materials counted by many troops.

However, war is not a number game. It is impossible to say that a steel arrow can solve a skeleton, but also take into account the physical consumption and muscle strain of soldiers. Combined with various factors, even if the 500000 steel arrows can really be consumed in this war, as long as they can eliminate 100000 skeletons, they can be regarded as a major victory.

"Ten floors." In such a short time of communication, the construction speed of the white bone ladder suddenly increased a lot.

After shooting continuously for more than an hour, even if the endurance of the empty barbarian is no matter how high, the strain of the arm muscles will almost reach the limit. The fingers of many empty barbarians were worn with blood marks by bowstrings, and the forearms of a larger part of empty barbarians were swollen and red.

"When will Hitler's priestly troops arrive?" William saw the problem, too.

"It is estimated that there will be at least more than a week's journey." Alfred replied, "but when the war broke out, Dwight had led the scarlet Knights out of town to meet him. It is estimated that the journey time can be shortened to about three days."

"I can't wait." William shook his head. "Abaza, let the steel wings stop shooting. If you continue to fight like this, your army will be completely abandoned."

Abaza bit his teeth and looked a little ugly: "stop shooting!"

"Lord William, we can still insist!" A soldier with steel wings roared, but he refused to put down his bow and arrow, but shot another arrow.

"Yes! Lord William! "

"Let's go on!"

The steel winged archers yelled, but no one was willing to put down the bow.

"Your value is not just in this remote repression." William said in a deep voice, "the enemy will soon finish building the white bone ladder, and then they will attack the wall. Now only you, the dark wings, the lion of thunder and Cecilia's guards can carry out the hand to hand battle of the city wall. Oh, by the way, Miss angel's frost Legion is OK, but... Do you want a group of women to protect you? "

"No!" Many people have voiced their rejection.

"Our void principality does have a strong military capacity, but our founding time is too short, so the army strength is not enough." William said faintly, without ignoring his weakness, "the troops gathered in the fortress are indeed the pride of our empty principality, but how many people are there after all? Not counting Miss angel's frost corps, we don't even have 100000 people. But in front of us is just a cannon fodder regiment of the undead army. There are already more than 300000. Are there many of us? "

Everyone was silent.

"Therefore, I have to use you as three people, or even as five or ten people." William said in a deep voice, his tone was calm, but the content of the words once again excited everyone's heart. "To use you so incisively and vividly, the only thing I can think of is to make you all in the best state Now let you put down your bows and arrows, not to stop fighting, but to prepare you for the next deadly battle. "

"As I said before, we have no reinforcements." William said in a deep voice, "why? Because the guys of those wild tribes have not been rectified up to now, Haila is still sitting there, and even many despicable people plan to make trouble while our elites gather at the front line Here, I can only tell you that since you are the pride of my vanity duchy, you should keep your pride even if you all die here! "

The soldiers with steel wings finally slowly put down their bow.

But their morale was not at all low, but like a volcano about to erupt.

At the thought of those people from the wild tribe, William also had an evil fire in his heart.

After feeling Sean's danger before, William and shefanio worked hard to solve a large number of people, which really deterred many people. But they didn't expect that when the troops began to pull out the stronghold, the people of these wild tribes began to make trouble again. As a last resort, William had to let Hella come to town from the canyon fortress, and left Noro and the silver Temple corps to protect Hella's safety.

William naturally knows the killing of Alexis, and the old people in the core circle who have been following Sean for a long time also know it.

But it is precisely because they know, so they all know that even if Haila really straightens out the wild tribe, they should also beware of those careerists from other forces who are desperate for the overall situation. The most typical idea of these madmen is that even if there is no void principality, they can hold the corpse invasion. Therefore, they should take advantage of the weakness of the void principality to divide the interests of the void principality, bring the whole wilderness back into their control, and once again become the back garden of what they want.

That's why William said they wouldn't have reinforcements.

It is the greatest effort to arrange the virgin of Hitler's temple of life to come to the wild fortress.

Moreover, even if Haila really ignored the rear and forced all the legions of the wild tribe to rush to the wild fortress for support, it would take nearly a month as soon as possible. If you really can't do anything, you can only give up the wild fortress, of course William won't be so mindless. He will choose to stick to it now because they have lost contact with Sean for a long time. Although I don't know where Sean went, it's certain that Sean finally returned to the wilderness to be stuffed.

Therefore, no matter what consideration, William must keep the wild fortress for at least a month.

But he was also very clear that these troops in the fortress were the real strength of the void principality. Therefore, even if the void empire was seriously damaged, it was impossible to bury all these troops here. As long as these troops are still there, the void principality will eventually become an empire. But if all the confidence and strength are buried here, then the void Empire plan is really just a joke.

If the attack of the undead army does not decrease, it can only last for a month.

William's heart has a plan: if he gives up the rear, let Haila send reinforcements immediately, which may last for three months. But if you are hit back and forth, I'm afraid you'll really fall.

Well, I hope Sean will come back soon.
