Chapter 1651: Chapter 87: Displaying Their Unique Skills (Part 3)
Even disregarding backlash, there is no possibility of assembling a massive Undead army.
The biggest issue is spiritual power!
No Necromancer can suppress a wild Undead army. Even in the Sanctuary, the number of Undead that can be contracted is limited.
On the other hand, if you create them yourself, it’s different. Before Undead creatures develop intelligence, they can be contracted freely.
This is why Necromancers like to slaughter living beings!
Ordinary civilians certainly can’t match soldiers. To ensure the combat effectiveness of the Undead army, they must devour each other.
It usually requires slaughtering ten times, or even more people, to make up for it.
If you really kill on your own and turn them all into Undead creatures, you will surely be affected by the resentment of living beings.
Many Necromancers fall not because of their evil nature, but because the slaughter is too heavy, and the gloom invades their mind.
“Quickly awaken all soldiers in the camp and notify Your Majesty to return for reinforcements!”
Chancellor Suzillo walked out of the Marshal’s Camp and, upon seeing the scene before him, hurriedly exclaimed.
At this time, the Undead army had already gathered and launched a direct attack on the Demonic Crocodile Camp.
Unlike Human soldiers who suffer from severe night blindness, Undead creatures do not have this problem, and their combat power is even strengthened in darkness.
In close combat, newly born Undead naturally can’t beat the Demonic Crocodile Soldiers.
After all, the transformation process requires consuming energy, and it’s impossible to conserve the combat power from its previous life.
Individual combat power may not be enough, but the large quantity as cannon fodder makes up for it.
Even if they die on the battlefield, they will not be wasted. Their companions will absorb their soul fire and enhance their own strength.
The momentum built up, the Demonic Crocodile Soldiers originally besieging the Allied Army Camp, upon discovering their lair being attacked, suddenly experienced a sharp drop in morale.
Strike with all force, but fade with the second blow!
“Retreat!”
Realizing the night attack had failed, Marshal Kent decisively ordered a retreat.
Reason told him not to tangle with the enemy.
Unable to breach the enemy’s camp, if their own camp was successfully ambushed by the enemy, it would be disastrous.
Not to mention how many soldiers in the camp would be lost, a unit that loses supplies is highly likely to be annihilated.
…
In the dark night, a Demonic Crocodile Army cautiously left the camp, attempting to bypass Yangguan County.
“Venerable ones, Your Majesty’s intention is for us to arrive at the battlefield overnight. Following this current route, arriving on time would be fortunate!”
Boyke helplessly complained.
Under normal circumstances, the distance between them and the battlefield is indeed over fifty miles.
Giving up supplies, it’s possible for most Demonic Crocodile Soldiers to cover fifty miles at night and join the battle.
However, there’s a Cavalry Camp of the enemy army in between.
Previously, Boyke organized troops to attempt a nighttime counterattack, only to end up humiliated.
As proven, cavalry not only possesses strong combat power on war horses but also excels on foot as elites.
Poor at night battles, but that doesn’t mean incapable of night battles.
Compared to ordinary soldiers, cavalry receive much better treatment, with relatively fewer night blindness cases.
Tentative attacks not only buried thousands of troops but also triggered the heavy strike by the Human Offering Group, reducing the troops by another ten percent.
If they hadn’t had value as bait, survival until now would be uncertain.
In this regard, Venerable Wilson and Venerable Heinz have the most authority.
When strongmen of the Human Race made their moves, they also tried to intercept but, upon witnessing the strength of the enemy, decisively chose to align themselves.
If they had acted impulsively, they wouldn’t have survived till now.
With strong enemies watching closely, leaving safely requires detouring.
Otherwise, if discovered by the enemy, even if they leave alive, the army would suffer severe losses.
“We’ll rush if we can, forget it if we can’t.
Safety comes first, we can’t be caught by the enemy’s Cavalry Corps!”
Venerable Wilson said sourly.
Following the new march route, their distance increased from over fifty miles to slightly over a hundred miles.
No choice but to detour the big circle; proximity to the enemy’s camp lacks sufficient security.
Boyke clearly wanting them to share the responsibility, Venerable Wilson naturally wouldn’t respond amicably.
However, this responsibility must be shared. Since being besieged, everyone is on the same boat.
The true strength of the enemy besieging the troops wasn’t dared to be reported in detail, fearing the clan would abandon them upon knowing the truth.
A huge crisis was thus buried, Boyke’s weak shoulders couldn’t take it alone, everyone must cover it up together.
…
