Chapter 711： 717? Second line of defense

Chapter 711 717 Second line of defense

The Dark Crusaders sent Zerglings, which were originally a kind of troops that were not favored by Archbishop Platine.

In Platine's view, this kind of ugly thing can't be called a soldier at all, at most it is a beast without a brain.

This kind of thing was originally the product of the failure of the study of the Dark Crusader, but it came in handy at this time.

Archbishop Platine did not expect these things to break through the barriers of the undead empire. He only hoped to use these flesh and blood to fill the fifty-meter city wall, forming a large slope, which could be rushed up directly.

But he still thought too simply. As the 'Zerglings' swarmed up, they began to pile up and rise. It seemed to be going very smoothly, but Archbishop Platine always felt that something was wrong.

But he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while.

At this time, under the defense line of the undead empire, the piled up Zergling corpses were already taller than twenty meters.

And the firepower above the city wall is also more ferocious, trying to eliminate the rushing Zerglings from a longer distance, and try to delay the process of stacking the corpses below.

The two sides entered into an alternative competition.

Until evening, it was already dark, and the attack still did not stop.

This time, Archbishop Platine learned the lesson of the last time, for fear that after stopping the attack, the opposite side would take advantage of the middle of the night to dispose of the large corpses accumulated during the day. After all, this is not impossible.

At this time, Green was suspended in mid-air as a clone of an angel of death, looking down at the battle below from behind.

Behind Green, behind the city wall that was being violently attacked, about 50 kilometers away, an identical enchanted city wall had been built.

In other words, even if the enemy pays a heavy price to break through the first line of defense, they can only advance 50 kilometers, and they will face a 50-meter-high fortified city wall again.

And behind this city wall, the third line of defense has begun to be built. A large number of engineering mechas, cyclops, orc coolies... are building the city wall at a speed visible to the naked eye, and under the city wall, thousands of magicians Magic runes are being engraved to give this ordinary city wall the ability to defend against magic.

"Okay, let's retreat." General James, who was watching the frontline battle, gave the order.

At this time, under the first city wall, the corpses of Zerglings nearly 40 meters high have been piled up. If you wait for a while, you can jump directly to the top of the city wall with the bounce of the Zerglings.

Under such circumstances, General James decisively gave the order to retreat.

In fact, the real defensive army had already retreated to the second line of defense, and there were only less than 200,000 defenders left on the front line.

With an order, the 200,000 defenders also began to evacuate from the city wall in an orderly manner.

After the    firepower was weakened, a large number of Zerglings were able to rush under the city wall, but because there was still a few meters away, they couldn't jump up, they could only step on each other and keep climbing.

At this time, a group of locust-like shadows suddenly flew from behind, making the unique "bounce" sound of the steam power core in the night.

The air support that took off from the airship finally arrived, followed by a baptism of rockets, covering a large area of ​​Zerglings coming up from behind, finally interrupting the charge of these insects who didn’t know their fear.

The defenders above the city wall took the opportunity to retreat quickly, and when they got inside the city wall, they immediately jumped on the transport vehicle.

These six-wheeled, steam-powered transport vehicles can run at a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour, faster than those Zerglings running at full speed, rushing wildly on the road leading to the second city wall that has been repaired .

At this moment, there were less than 30,000 troops left behind on the city wall, and all of them were the undead mecha army under Green's command.

Just five minutes later, the Zerglings that were attacked by the rockets rushed up again.

According to the calculations of Claire and the Red Queen, the total number of Zerglings sent by the enemy is likely to be more than 3 million!

According to the feedback from the ghosts sent to investigate, Zerglings were still pouring out of the huge portal at this time.

And the new situation, in the city of the occupied Griffin city-state, the Dark Crusaders actually opened a huge dark blue portal.

This situation makes Green attach great importance. According to the investigation, the scale of this portal is even larger than the one at the beginning. It can not only transmit more troops, but also transmit existences with higher psionic levels.

Green had a hunch that a big guy might come over this time.

"Report! The transporters have all been evacuated." An electronic voice without any mood swings came.

In the headquarters of James and the generals, through the network of battlefield souls built, General James no longer needs a large number of messengers, and uses cumbersome military extremely magic messengers to give orders.

He can give orders to the commander of the Ten Thousand Legion directly through the soul network.

General    James nodded: "Make one last rocket salvo, then retreat."

With the order, the 30,000 mecha army still standing on the first line of defense immediately set up the sparrow rocket launch slot on their shoulders.

"suddenly~~~"

The flames flashed quickly, and Ma Runjia's four sparrow rockets were shot out in the shortest time.

followed the mecha on the city wall and turned around at the same time, and jumped from behind the city wall.

When    approached the ground, with a puff, steam was sprayed from under his feet, buffering the force of the fall, landing with a bang, and immediately turned on the sliding mode, gathered into three columns at an extremely fast speed, and retreated in the direction of the second line of defense.

Suddenly, the firepower on the city wall disappeared, causing Archbishop Platine to frown.

In fact, from the sudden burst of rockets just now, he felt that the opposite side might have changed.

However, Archbishop Platine guessed that the Undead Empire should find a way to remove the Zergling corpses under the city walls.

It's just that he didn't expect that the enemy simply gave up this line of defense that had rescue value.

This made Archbishop Platine's heart sink, and he immediately ordered the Dark Crusaders to go up.

did not encounter any ambush, and in just over ten minutes, he had rushed to the head of the city and quickly occupied the city wall.

But Archbishop Platine stood on the wall, his face sinking like water, staring straight ahead.

Before, because there was a magical barrier, he couldn't see the situation behind this line of defense clearly. Until then, he could barely see dozens of kilometers away, but there was still an identical line of defense, the same strong enchanted city wall, also as high as five. Sixty meters, the same... Anyway, it's all original, without any cutting corners.

Archbishop Platine scolded in a faint voice: "Damn undead!"

He knew that this time he really encountered a formidable enemy. Not only was his combat power strong, but his engineering construction ability was also abnormal.

Now he will be faced with a very difficult choice, should he continue to attack, or find another way?

Archbishop Platine ascended into the air, observing the surrounding terrain.

In his vision, this canyon is about 100 kilometers long, the widest part is only 30 kilometers from east to west, and the narrowest is less than ten kilometers.

Green's second line of defense was built in this narrowest spot.

And according to the length of this canyon and the position of the second line of defense, even if this is broken, at least there is an identical enchanted city wall waiting for him behind.

"Do you want to give up the march from here and find another place?" Archbishop Platine was a little uncertain.

Because he was not fully prepared before he came, according to previous experience, this kind of void world in the terminal period would hardly encounter any powerful enemies, and the Dark Crusaders used to be completely crushed.

So Archbishop Platine didn't even have a specific map around him. He followed the enemy here before and followed them all the way.

If you want to change the direction of attack, you must spend time scouting the surrounding terrain, which wastes a lot of time and energy.

Archbishop Platine knew that he did not have that much time, and immediately decided that no matter how much the cost, he must fight quickly!

Thinking of this, he once again looked at the densely packed Zerglings below, and muttered: "These useless things, even if they waste more, His Majesty the Pope won't blame me!"

After    made up his mind, Archbishop Platine no longer hesitated in his eyes, and immediately issued an order to continue to let the Zerglings attack.

At the same time, he ordered the rear to mobilize more Zerglings. He needed more cannon fodder to fill the enemy's city walls...

At the same time, the rear of the undead empire.

The previous outbreak of the Black Death virus caused huge losses to some cities close to the Griffin city-state.

Nearly one million people died, which is equivalent to one-thirtieth of the population of the entire undead empire.

Fortunately, there are necromancers restraining this virus, so it did not cause a wider spread.

However, this virus fell into Green's hands, but it opened another Pandora's box.

And also helped Green light up another technology tree - microbiology.

Actually, in this world, because of the existence of magic and alchemy, the technology tree of this world is crooked.

Especially in biology and medicine, most people tend to use magic and alchemy to solve problems, and most of the research methods are magic and alchemy.

For example, Professor Arkansas is already an expert in this field in this world. He can create artificial humans, transform souls, and study limb grafting...

However, even for this top expert, his research perspective still does not extend to the level of genes.

The reason for this situation is that, firstly, it is due to the limitation of tools, and secondly, there is no need. Since most problems can be solved by magic means, there is no motivation to explore the deeper root causes.

But Green knew that the study of biology was absolutely inseparable from genes.
