Chapter 288: A War Without Justice (V)
Without encountering any harassment, it would take This is under the premise that both sides are fighting in the undeveloped wilderness and do not need to carry siege equipment.
The time required for the undead to run from the friendly camp to the enemy camp and return to the team after being killed is less than ten minutes.
In addition, the player group is relatively loose and disorderly, and no matter how serious the matter is, it cannot prevent players from being distracted and chatting. On average, it takes about fifteen minutes for players to launch a round of attack.
This puts a very realistic problem in front of the commander and the prince of the duchy who is in charge - under the high-frequency harassment of this group of fearless undead, the one hour from leaving the camp to rushing to the battlefield will become very dangerous...
What's worse is that no one can be sure whether the army of Odysseus will suddenly rush out from some corner when their formation is disrupted by the undead - the other side has a high-level illusionist in charge!
Other spellcasters cannot conceal the whereabouts of a large army, but illusionists can!
Although the Odysseus family thought that the undead had abandoned their friendly forces and gone crazy, and had no intention of going crazy along with these undead mercenaries, Lionel's side didn't know!
"The Odysseus family is afraid to fight on the battlefield, so they resort to such dirty tricks to delay the battle intentionally!"
After a lot of chaos, they finally killed all the undead that had sneaked into the camp. His Royal Highness the Prince was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
The two spellcasters frowned as they looked at the water mirror. This time, with the participation of wind mages, the undead suffered heavy casualties, with only a few hundred escaping. However, these undead still had no intention of fearing the battle, and continued to gather in the valley. More undead kept running from the rear to fill their positions.
"Your Highness, it seems that simply killing them in large numbers will not work. We need to annihilate them all." The wind mage signaled the furious prince to look at the picture displayed by the water mirror technique. "Let me do it. I will annihilate all the undead in this valley. Perhaps they will find it difficult to interfere."
Although His Royal Highness was furious, he knew that he was just a mascot, so he did not rush to agree and first looked at the senior military officers present.
The three colonel-level officers in charge of commanding the battle came from the Border Guard and two border cities.
The three brothers had all been robbed by the undead at the beginning, which had brought shame upon their revolutionary friendship. They no longer had the energy to compete secretly with each other under the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince. After a few cautious discussions, they all expressed their support for the wind mage's proposal.
The combat effectiveness of these undead was actually not very strong. They harassed the camp four times but only stole some items and kidnapped dozens of people. If there had not been a non-commissioned officer among the kidnapped people, this little bit of casualties would not be worth getting angry about.
The damage was negligible, but the insult was even stronger - the camp guarded by 14,000 professional soldiers was breached by these damned undead three times in a row, the commander was robbed in public, and the non-commissioned officers were kidnapped . If this were to get out, it would make all Lionel soldiers lose face!
In response to the repeated insults from Lionel, the army used an efficient response mechanism and quickly dispatched two teams of 100 light cavalrymen, who followed the wind mage and charged towards the valley where the undead were hiding.
As the wind mage set off, three colonel-level officers quickly assembled their troops and set off - if they really had to stop fighting with the Odysseus family because they were restrained by more than two thousand undead, the Principality of Lionel would become a laughing stock in the entire eastern part of the Nabaron continent!
A high-level wind mage dropped a highly destructive tornado with a speed of over 300 kilometers per hour. The players gathered in the valley were unable to resist and were all wiped out instantly.
The wind mage, who had destroyed all the undead with a large-scale magic, was so exhausted that he fell from the sky on the spot. He then forced himself to use the water mirror technique to check the area within a radius of five miles and confirmed that there were no undead left. Then he ordered the light cavalry to rescue their captured comrades and return to the camp.
The players in the Odysseus camp were resurrected in the blink of an eye and exploded on the spot.
"What a psycho! The boss is cheating!!"
"Is this game playable?!"
"Planning BISS!"
"I worked so hard to capture this prisoner——!"
Even though they were so angry that they were cursing the heavens and the earth...it didn't stop the resurrected players from running towards the enemy camp.
The officer NPC that was finally captured is gone, but the equipment that was snatched has been firmly tied to the player's bones with the nylon ties used to tie up the captives. It's not a loss...
"It's probably because we used the bug before the battle to swipe our gear and triggered the system's defense mechanism." In the team channel, En Bu Zeng calmly analyzed to everyone, "The battlefield scenario should be that the friendly NPCs and the enemy NPCs start fighting before the players get to play. Now we've delayed the enemy NPCs for almost an hour, and the opposing wizard boss has gone berserk."
"There's a problem with the plot setting and the bug was exploited by the players. Instead of reflecting on it, the programmer even cheated on the BOSS!" Qin Guan was so angry that his head hurt after he just ran to the valley and was sent back again.
"It's a player's ability to find and exploit bugs. Do you think it's shameless to use this kind of big BOSS to clean up the place!" Miaobishenghua said angrily. She had good equipment and had killed the opposing wizard BOSS before. She was very angry after the two corpses ran away in a row. "I really don't believe it. We must never give up on this bug. We must exploit it to death. If you have the guts, stop the server for maintenance and reset the task!"
"We have to compensate the entire server! Otherwise, I'll scold the Dogecoin planner to death!" Tang Jia cursed with gritted teeth.
Yang Ying nodded beside him.
Entropy must have agreed with the opinion and said in a deep voice: "Now that we send them all back, the enemy should set out according to the procedure. We still have a chance before all the monsters arrive on the battlefield!"
"That boss with epic equipment must be killed before friendly NPCs intervene, otherwise it will probably be swallowed up by the system, just like the vampire boss we encountered in Crescent Manor!"
"That's right! We must get that piece of equipment before the battlefield plot begins!" Miaobishenghua clenched his fists.
The players, with their fighting spirit burning in their chests, shouted slogans, cursed the planners, and ran aggressively past the friendly forces that were stupidly lined up on the battlefield.
The soldiers of Odysseus family saw the undead passing by again and again: "..."
"What on earth are they doing?" Some soldiers couldn't help but whisper to their companions.
"I don't understand. I heard that Miss Phoenix spent a lot of money to hire these undead to help in the battle. It would be better to hire some normal mercenaries..."
Colonel Victor looked expressionlessly at the thousands of undead who completely disobeyed his orders and had no sense of cooperation, abandoning their friendly forces for the Nth time and running towards the enemy. Veins slowly appeared on his forehead.
Really, if these undead were his soldiers, he would definitely kill a bunch of them as sacrifices - what do these skeletons think of fighting! Is it a joke?!
Thinking about his employer Miss Phoenix who blindly trusted the undead, Colonel Victor pressed his forehead helplessly.
Even if the Odysseus family cannot withstand the upcoming risks, they are still a behemoth and not someone he can afford to offend... Since the employer believes that the undead are more valuable mercenaries, there is no need for him to go against the employer.
"At least these undead can drain a lot of the energy of Lionel's soldiers." Colonel Victor thought as optimistically as possible.
The Lionel army, which had just safely left the camp and advanced less than two kilometers toward the battlefield in the west, almost vomited blood when they saw the undead army roaring on the dirt road ahead. From the non-commissioned officers to the soldiers,
"Why are they coming again?!" In front of the army, the light cavalry responsible for clearing roadblocks were particularly annoyed.
If large groups of troops charge together, the undead will scatter like fireworks; if small groups of troops maneuver, there is the risk of being eaten by the undead, having their equipment stolen, their people kidnapped, or pulled away. These border guards, who usually have almost no rivals on the Lionel border, are almost driven crazy.
Even horse thieves are not as difficult to deal with as these undead!
His Royal Highness the Prince of the Duchy, who was in the center of the army and under heavy protection, saw through the telescope the undead souls running towards him happily, and his blood rushed to his head.
The wind mage consumed a lot of magic power in killing the undead, cast a large-scale magic, and had to stay in the camp to rest...all his work was in vain!
"No matter what, we can't let these undead spirits continue to delay our army." His Royal Highness gritted his teeth and looked at the spellcaster beside him, "Mr. Elsie, please help the soldiers to eliminate these undead spirits as soon as possible."
Another elemental mage, Elsie, nodded slightly to His Royal Highness the Prince and took off from her mount.
This elemental mage is a fire spellcaster. Fire spellcasters can also control air currents, but they are not as capable as wind spellcasters, and the energy consumption during flight is slightly greater.
From afar, players saw a monster in a robe "taking off" from the enemy's position. They cursed "Here they come again" and hurriedly scattered in all directions.
Miaobishenghua and Enbuteng quickly separated from the main force and hid in their own bunkers, issuing instructions in the team channel alternately: "All teams try to roam around, don't waste time with those heavily armored iron turtles, use identification more often, and try to find the BOSS with epic equipment before you are all wiped out!"
"Vanilla, don't show up, stay away from the Mage Boss! If you are targeted by the Mage Boss, give the Book of the Dead to others before you are killed in seconds!"
"The NPC team is very long. The BOSS with epic equipment is likely hiding in a place with many monsters. Everyone try to go around it!"
The fire mage Elsie, who floated into the air, quickly understood the difficulties faced by his companions in the previous battle... These undeads all ran very fast and were very aware of evacuating their positions to avoid magical bombardment, leaving him, a high-altitude turret, with no room to perform.
There was no other choice for the fire mage, who could only adopt the strategy used by the wind casters, traveling around the field and trying to kill the elite-looking undead with the rocket magic with the lowest consumption.
The orange cat boss, whose equipment was more dazzling than Qin Guan and La Hongge, followed Yang Ying's team of relatives and friends and ran in a big circle to the rear of the enemy.
The orange cat is very good at his own operations. Most players will try to get some benefits when they see a small group of light cavalry, but he is different. Even if there is a lone light cavalry appearing nearby, he will avoid it from a distance and never cause trouble for his teammates...
Surviving and surviving to the end is the only goal of the orange cat when participating in large-scale battlefield activities, and it is also his fun - anyway, he has money, so he can take pictures of any magical equipment captured by other players as long as he likes it, so there is no need for him to go through the trouble of buying it himself.
There is an orange cat running at the outermost edge of the crowd, away from all danger. Any player who sees it will know that it is a lazy cat just here to make up the numbers.
But in the eyes of the fire mage Elsie who was floating in the air looking for targets to kill... this was definitely the embodiment of the elite undead and the commander of the undead army.
Elsie, who was chasing after Brother Lahong, turned without hesitation, flew across the sky several hundred meters low, and swung her hand coldly, throwing out a lightning-fast flaming arrow without any casting gesture, instantly killing the confused orange cat.
"Why?" The orange cat boss who had returned to the rear camp cried loudly while standing at the resurrection point.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha! The wizard BOSS killed the orange cat again and left!" Tang Jia and Jia Luo, the two heartless teammates laughed even louder.
"How did the BOSS's hatred shift from me to the orange cat?" Brother Lahong, who had luckily escaped with his life, asked in the team channel in great confusion.
Miaobishenghua finally reacted: "Vanilla took off your equipment! The BOSS hates the equipment--!"
