Chapter 30 Enduring War
The battle between the two sides was in a stalemate, and after a long time of fighting, no winner was decided.
General Tarik sent troops on both wings and occupied the dominant formation. He had long been seen by the vultures hovering in the sky. After a short while, Vared gave the order. A group of skeleton cavalry ambushed on both wings took flat cavalry and spears and launched a fierce attack on the two wings of human soldiers who were fighting.
Although Ivy's army fought to the death, it was not defeated by the skeleton cavalry at once. However, under the attack of the undead army on three sides, casualties started to fight. In addition, the battle was getting longer and longer, the little military rations he ate in the morning had been digested. The strength on his body was almost exhausted. In addition, snow was falling from the sky, and gusts of cold wind blew into human bones... No one of the human soldiers could stand this.
General Tarik desperately commanded his troops, and the various phalanxes were fighting in turn. Now the ones fighting on the front line were no longer the heavy armored halberd soldiers who were highly expected at the beginning, hoping to break down the array of the undead army to win. Instead, they were replaced by ordinary imperial halberd soldiers and shield spearmen who were only wearing breastplate.
This rotation of troops has caused chaos in the formation of Duke Aiwei to a certain extent, and the combat effectiveness of ordinary standard troops is not as good as that of the elite of heavy armor. If before this, the Duke of Aiwei had at least a little advantage, and the heavy armored and long halberd soldiers suppressed the undead and were on the offensive, then at this moment, the standard troops who fought to the death in the cold wind could only ensure that the situation would not deflect - the situation became further beneficial to the undead.
Whether in terms of physical strength, military quality, formation or morale, the undead army has an advantage. Although there is no way to decide the outcome, if the battle continues to develop like it is now, then it is only a matter of time before the victory of the undead army can be won.
"Order, join the combat priest squad and attack the opponent's left wing."
In the afternoon, the wind and snow became heavier. Seeing that his troops could not even be able to stabilize the formation and began to retreat step by step, General Tarik finally couldn't help but throw his elite reserve team into the battle. In a battle, the possibility of failure of the party who took the lead in using the reserve team was naturally greater.
At the command of General Tarik, a commander immediately rushed over, and then the group of Sigma combat priests who could not bear it had long been able to bear it, shouting excitedly, as if holding straw, easily swinging the warhammer with dozens of kilograms of hands, and running towards the front line.
These combat priests in white and red robe roared loudly: "Sigma!" rushed into the sequence of the undead army. Every time they waved a war hammer, they could smash a series of spears that stabbed him, or smashed several skeleton soldiers and armor to pieces.
The heavy weapon like a warhammer is the nemesis of the undead soldiers. Not to mention the positive energy of the white magic used by these priests, it is even more natural enemies to the undead troops. The attacks of these combat priests on the undead soldiers were simply destroyed. In a blink of an eye, several companies of skeleton soldiers fell under the warhammer of the Sigma combat priest, and the undead army collapsed. Human soldiers took the opportunity to attack fiercely, and the battle situation changed instantly!
"It's really... these damn bald men." Vared snorted, watching the group of combat priests massacres in their array, as if they were in a state of no one. Although he tried hard to organize a counterattack and intended to fill this gap, he was completely powerless. These combat priests shouting "Sigma" were like madmen, fanatical and dangerous. The gap they were in was like a meat grinder. They ruthlessly smashed all the skeletons into scum.
Seeing the situation of the war change, the vampire officer beside Vared suggested: "Do you want to send reinforcements? Two tomb guards are enough to block the opponent's attack."
Vared thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It's not time to send more reinforcements. The battle has been fought for most of the day, and the stalemate has been in a state of great fatigue. This time, it's just a short period of morale rise. A few hundred combat priests can't save the overall situation. Hold on, hold on for a while - the other party cannot break through our army's array. That little morale is frustrated, and victory is ours!"
"But if those combat priests really break through the front, our losses will be great - the bones infected by positive energy cannot be used anymore." The vampire officer continued to persuade. On the other hand, Witt also asked: "I don't want two, just one, one team of tomb guards - if you give me a team of tomb guards, I can block the attack of these combat priests. If I fail, you can punish me no matter how much you punish me."
Valed chuckled when he heard this, still shook his head, saying, "No, I have a way to entangle them." After saying that, his sleeves shook, he pulled out his staff, raised his arm slightly, and a low secret word followed by a terrifying undead magic swept across the battlefield!
The soldiers of the Principality of Ive, who were immersed in the pleasure of counterattack, suddenly discovered that the skeletons who had been defeated by a lot of effort had actually stood up again.
They either lost their skulls, limbs, or had most of their ribs broken, or only half of their bodies left... However, these broken bones broke away from gravity under the blowing of magic wind, floated up quickly, and then formed one brand new skeleton soldier after another.
At the same time, the corpses of his robe who were killed by the dead, and those that had begun to become stiff, also stood up slowly - some of them had terrifying wounds on their bodies, their intestines and internal organs exposed along the wound, some were missing arms and legs, and even had a half-heads - their eyes were turbid, their faces were stiff, and they waved their weapons to attack the robe that was still alive!
"Damn it! What's going on?!"
The soldiers were frightened and shouted. Some people took their weapons and fought hard, while others were stunned and forgot to act. However, no matter what, there was one thing that could not be refuted - their counterattack ended here. The bodies and remains were scattered in their array, and the new undead also appeared in their array. The formation of the human army suddenly became chaotic, and the undead army also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack!
"Yes, it's the resurrection of the dead! It's the resurrection of the dead - has your magic reached this level?!" The vampire officers around him shouted excitedly, and their eyes looked at Valed became more awe-inspiring. However, when they saw this, they saw something was wrong - Valed's face was swollen and his body was trembling slightly. It was obvious that the magic was wrong!
