Chapter 602: Indiscriminate Bombing (2 in 1)
After the Hill of Blood was completely destroyed, the undead's will to resist in the Asiklin Mountains seemed to be accompanied by it and was disintegrated under the "Doomsday Wind and Thunder".
As the battle went westward, the resistance of the undead army became minimal.
Some of their main forces were shot by Li Wei in the Hill of Blood. The rest seemed to have retreated with great strides and no longer confronted humans.
With rapid advances, the human coalition would recover the entire Asiklin Mountains earlier than expected.
By the end of April, the war in the Asiklin Mountains had already come to an end and the undead had completely withdrawn from here.
It is worth mentioning that in the process of regaining the entire Asiklin Mountains, they also rescued a man, Kane, the "Sword of Heaven".
This guy led thousands of paladins to the Hill of Blood to assist in defense earlier. As a result, the fortress was broken in one day, and almost all the more than 2,000 soldiers from the former garrison died. One of them did not survive, and all of them turned the undead into low-level zombies. A small number of officers might have the chance to turn into ghouls and other things.
And the thousand paladins he led also died, all of them died in the battle of the Hill of Blood, and he was the only one who survived.
Fortunately, the undead continued to advance westward and did not have time to deal with the corpses of the paladins. Otherwise, there would probably be thousands more black knights in their military formation.
Kane, who was rescued, had a very miserable image. The paladin looked unreasonable. In fact, it was already difficult for him to survive the Asiclin Mountains for the first or two months of being completely controlled by the undead.
Everyone's perception of Kane's death in battle was obvious polarization about the fact that Kane lost the Hill of Blood within one day and that more than a thousand paladins died under his command.
For Wang **fang and the demon hunters, this is nothing. It is already amazing that they will be able to fight the attacks of tens of thousands of undead with two or three thousand people, and dare to have the courage to fight in the Blood Hill. It is already amazing. It is impossible to expect that they can still win under such a huge gap in strength.
However, within the Holy Cult Army, the public opinion trend is very different.
The loss of more than a thousand paladins in one battle was almost the biggest loss for the Holy Cult Army in recent decades. Not to mention, Kane was defeated.
You should know that in the previous city of San Boren, the Paladins they lost were not so much accumulated in a few days. Even if we pushed the timeline forward, it was recognized that the battle was very fierce that the Paladins suffered in the battle to wipe out the headquarters of the cult "Liezhu Tower".
Kane, who led the Holy Cult Army to fight the biggest failure, suffered a very delicate treatment within the Holy Cult Army.
What's more, after the Blood Hill was captured, both the Holy Cult Army and the original soldiers were killed, only Kane survived, which gave people unlimited room for imagination.
Although the top leaders of the Holy Church would not think that the battle was a defeat caused by Kane's mistake, and there was no evidence to prove that Kane survived because of his depravity or had any deal with the undead. But no matter what, someone would always take the blame for this failure. There must be an explanation for the strange gazes of the grassroots soldiers of the Holy Church Army.
So... Kane was temporarily removed from his post, called "Investigation".
...
On May 3, the Human Alliance officially decided to continue to move west of the mountains.
They are going to attack the hinterland of the undead kingdom.
On the first day of the first day, the human soldiers and even the Holy Sects felt very uncomfortable.
Everything here is completely different from the world of the living.
The sky is always gray, and there is no vegetation on the desolate earth. Occasionally, a withered forest stands up on the dark land. On the twisted limbs of the trees, there is no leaf, and it looks very cunning.
The day after entering the Kingdom of the Undead, the human army conquered seven villages.
It is worth mentioning that humans also survive in the Kingdom of the Undead.
Of course, these humans live in captivity of vampires.
Vampires are a special type of undead. They can actually not eat or drink, which doesn’t matter, but they love to suck human blood, which is the supreme delicacy for them.
In order to meet their own needs, they of course divided villages in some places and raised some humans for their sucking.
At the same time, the creation of a new undead army, using the blood of living people, the flexibility of living people, and the body of living people are all very good raw materials.
For a living person, there is a very complete utilization process in the undead kingdom, ensuring that there will be no waste from every inch of flesh and blood in the body, even from the soul.
Even some vampire nobles felt that the blood of the humans they raised tasted bad, so they invented some special "breeding" methods. For example, building a village makes it look as quiet and peaceful as a paradise, and raising a group of humans who seem to grow up in normal environments. There are differences such as "nobles" in it.
When the time is right, go in and harvest it, and all the harvested humans will become very popular among vampires.
In short, it is not an exaggeration to describe humans living in the Kingdom of Dead by the four words "Pigs and Dogs are worse than that".
Every human warrior who realized this gradually accumulated huge anger in his heart and his morale became high.
Once humans invaded the country, the undead will no longer be as relaxed as before.
On May 7, a battle between the two sides of the two sides had reached 30,000 troops, and the final result ended with a great victory for humans.
Subsequently, in half a month, the Human Alliance won consecutive battles and showed a breath of advancement to the position approaching Fort Conrad.
This is the capital of the Kingdom of the Undead and the base camp of the Conrad family. If it weren't for the fact that the logistics supply was really unable to keep up, humans would have taken over the capital of the Kingdom of the Undead.
But the supply problem was quickly resolved.
At the end of May, seven airships came in a vast magnificent manner in the sky. Three war airships came from the Kingdom Government, the Holy Cult Army and the Demon Hunter. The other four civil airships acted as transport ships, bringing a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition and other supplies.
The strength of the human coalition has increased after such a long battle!
This is ready to attack the capital.
During this process, Prince Conrad never came forward and finally couldn't sit still.
He sent a request for peace talks to the Human Coalition, but was rejected by Levi and Pope Samir.
Subsequently, the Human Alliance launched a fierce attack on Fort Conrad.
Three war airships violently put a lot of fire into the Conrad Castle in high altitude. At the same time, the heavy artillery that had been pulled from the Asiklin Mountains were also arranged in place and opened fire on the castle.
Countless shells were thrown into the Conrad Castle. In the sky, civilian airships flew from behind from time to time, carrying a large amount of shell supplies.
In the middle, the undead also tried to invade human air supply lines.
A giant dragon of skeleton, with a number of flying monsters transformed into an undead, and some ghosts, suddenly appeared over the Asiklin Mountains, when the airship coming from Wiesdum passed by, launching an attack, hoping to destroy the logistics supply line of the human army.
But they failed to succeed.
Escorting a war airship played a very important role. It was Wang **'s "Deep Space" war airship. Although there were no element-level strong men on it, the three main guns all had the power to threaten the powerful enemy, making the skeleton dragon unable to fully exert its power.
After sending a distress signal, the Deep Space escorted four other transport airships, entangled with the undead air force while trying to fly towards the place where the human coalition forces were stationed outside the Conrad Castle.
And they finally reached the arrival of support.
The three elemental powerhouses arrived at the battlefield on the witch hunter's war airship "Huanyun".
Seeing that the undead air force was not good, he wanted to run away at that time.
But it was impossible for humans to let them go, and the two war airships immediately launched a pursuit.
Although, in the end, since the undead in the air could flee in all directions, and there were only two human war airships, there was no way to capture the enemy in one go. However, at least the leading skeleton dragon could not escape. The two main guns hit by the "Lease Cloud" were seriously injured, and the factor powerhouses took action and killed them.
Although the invasion of the undead air force was not without results, they also took advantage of the chaos to destroy a civilian transport airship, but they suffered even greater losses and blows.
The human coalition, which has learned from one's mistakes, also pays more attention to the protection of its own logistics supply line. In the subsequent transportation airship, not only will a war airship be used to escort, but also a factor strongman will be used as protection. The undead have fewer opportunities to succeed.
After the logistics supply was safer, the human coalition's bombing of the Conrad Castle became even more ferocious.
Conrad Castle was bathed in a week and a half under the fire of humans! The entire Conrad Castle was bombed in an unsatisfactory manner, and it was even difficult to count how many shells were fired into the castle in the past ten days.
But no matter what, it still stands on this land.
It has to be said that this old lair of the Conrad family is still strong enough. This sturdiness does not only come from the defense of the building itself, but also the undead have made great contributions. Various undeads use magic circles to invest their own power in it, combining it with the fortress, and jointly resist the bombardment of artillery fire.
Of course, the price is that many undead are scattered.
However, being beaten so badly, Prince Conrad never intended to come forward. Humans once thought that Prince Conrad had given up on this castle?
In order to prove this, Li Wei also used the same trick again. Under the escort of Madeline and Wang Ande, he soared into the air and came to the Conrad Castle with a "doomsday wind and thunder".
This move reached a large-scale attack skill at the concept level, and instantly caused huge damage to Conrad Castle.
This castle is far stronger than the Blood Hill Fortress, and also has a black magic circle and countless undead escort the castle. Therefore, even if it is forced to be hit by Li Wei's "Doomsday Wind and Thunder", it will not be razed to the ground all at once.
But this is enough to prove that Prince Conrad is definitely not here, otherwise the elemental vampire prince would not have been able to sit idly by and watch Levi launch a bombardment on his city easily.
Since that's the case, you can fight with confidence and boldness.
Then, Pope Samir also took action.
When he and Li Wei launched an attack on the castle at the same time, the power of the two conceptual powers was not so easy to stop.
On May 26, the capital city of the Kingdom of Dead, Conrad Fort, the capital of the Undead Kingdom, was officially captured by the human coalition.
...
It is true that Prince Conrad, who was feared by humans, was not in the castle, but he did not leave too far.
Fifteen kilometers west of Fort Conrad, two black dots were flying in the sky.
This is Prince Conrad, and his most loyal subordinate, Duke Edward.
"Those humans have entered," said Edward. "Can Marquis Julia take our team out? If we don't retreat, we will probably have no chance. Their mission has been completed very well."
"Yes." Prince Conrad nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you about contacting Julia and the others. Let me release that monster..."
"That monster..." Edward trembled all over when he thought of it. He couldn't help asking, "His Majesty Prince, do you say... can these humans deal with that monster?"
Prince Conrad was silent for a moment, as if even he was not sure to answer this question.
In the end, he could only shake his head and said, "I don't know, but no matter what, this is a major failure of our blood descendants. Whether that monster wins or humans win, it will probably be difficult for us to regain this place for many years..."
"Ah..." Edward sighed heavily.
On the other side, humans, who were still ignorant of what happened next, were rushing into the castle that they had been bombarded for almost half a month.
The two chapters were posted together.
Chapter completed!
