Chapter 414 Another Way, the Powerful Snow Fox Countess

The undead's early offensive is divided into two routes.

One is real and the other is virtual. The main attack is on the Kingdom of Bolun, and there is another attack on the Kingdom of Lensa to tie up troops.

This is a very basic strategy.

But it works well.

Because it is not easy to tell which army is the main force of the undead.

Humans are not very familiar with the undead.

During the heyday of the Torch Church, the main cult was the Blood of Nurturing.

Sects like the Scourge Cult don't have much of a presence.

Although most cultists believe that their evil gods are the world's choice.

But normal people often don’t think so.

This is also the first time that the undead have built a city.

The vast army of undead and the occasional undead wandering in the wild at night are obviously completely different.

The believers and bishops of the Scourge Cult obviously had no experience in commanding large armies of the undead.

Humanity has only had one experience of dealing with large armies of the undead, and that was the last time.

The undead army does not need food, and the Obsidian Tower will provide the undead with energy for action.

This results in the Undead having very little baggage.

The undead don't need to set up camp or rest.

The advancing undead army really made it difficult for human scouts to distinguish which army was the main force.

Because humans don't know the total strength of the undead.

Perhaps an experienced Paladin would have some understanding of the composition of the Undead's forces, but he would certainly not be too familiar with it.

A defense line was also set up on the border of the Kingdom of Lensa.

Trenches, high walls, crossbows and catapults.

There are also a lot of undead here.

The moonlight is very bright.

The entire battlefield was illuminated as if it were daytime.

The faint green flames in the undead's eye sockets swayed with the wind and snow.

The soldiers here were a little panicked.

But overall, the knights, paladins, and soldiers were all relatively calm.

Because their commander is the Snow Fox Countess.

The Snow Fox Countess has a long-standing reputation.

It can be said that except for facing Rand in the north, we have never been defeated.

And there is an explanation for this defeat. Basically, all the generals who were enemies of Rand were either killed or captured.

But what about the Snow Fox Countess?

She escaped unscathed! Can others do that?

Moreover, many people believe that the Snow Fox Countess’s defeat to Rand was not her fault, and the next time they fight, it may not be the Snow Fox Countess who loses.

The Snow Fox Countess's record of battle is very impressive.

In the Gold Mine War, Countess Snow Fox, as a general of the Round Table Alliance, led the Round Table Alliance's army to face the Triangle Alliance and made many outstanding achievements.

It can be said that these soldiers and knights can gain a certain degree of confidence from their generals.

The Paladin advisor began to order the soldiers to get ready.

The catapults started moving, and huge rocks smashed into the army of undead.

A large number of skeletons and zombies were crushed.

Some boulders are coated with holy oil, and stones burning with holy fire are more powerful and can cause troublesome opponents like ghosts to suffer.

The crossbow cart shot crossbow arrows indiscriminately.

But the archers were waiting, with a limited supply of specially crafted arrows specifically designed to deal with the undead, and they were ordered to attack more worthy targets.

The Snow Fox Countess touched the scar on her face, which was now very light.

This scar was originally left in Xinyue Collar.

The scar was left intentionally as a reminder to herself.

However, as a professional, her physique is still pretty good. Even if she didn't deliberately try to erase the scar, it is now almost faded to the point of being invisible.

Standing next to the Snow Fox Countess were the great nobles, forming a command center with the Snow Fox Countess as the center.

The Snow Fox Countess kept giving orders.

No one is familiar with the undead, so a simple strategy is adopted.

It's just about holding the line, there are no extra requirements.

There's not much that can be done, humans aren't very good at fighting at night.

Several noble commanders beside her did not quite understand the Snow Fox Countess's orders.

They are all people who are familiar with the military.

But in their opinion, the Snow Fox Countess's orders were a bit... repetitive? The Snow Fox Countess kept saying some repetitive nonsense.

At least in their opinion, it's nonsense.

Of course, they did not doubt the ability of the Snow Fox Countess. They were lucky to be able to command with her this time, and they wanted to learn some skills.

But now, it can't be that the Snow Fox Countess is doing this just to cherish her own things.

This is obviously impossible. The Snow Fox Countess is giving blind orders just to protect her own interests.

Now is a critical moment.

After studying for a while, I was still confused.

Finally, a military noble raised a question: "Mr. Earl, why is your current command a little..."

"Repetitive and meaningless?" the Snow Fox Countess asked directly.

Seeing that the Snow Fox Countess was well aware of this, the military noble waited awkwardly for her to continue.

"Because there is nothing to command right now." The Snow Fox Countess didn't mind explaining her intentions.

The servant next to the Snow Fox Countess handed her a glass of water. The Snow Fox Countess took a sip and then moistened her lips.

Her rosy lips looked somewhat beautiful in the light of the torch.

"What we should do now, and what we can only do, is to hold the defense line. The team leaders below know what to do." The Snow Fox Countess explained, "Essentially, they don't need much command."

"I said those nonsense just to give my men confidence," said the Snow Fox Countess, "to let them know that what they are doing is right and that their generals are paying attention to them."

The Snow Fox Countess is actually very confident in her own strength.

If the power of the human kingdom was really far inferior to that of the undead, then the undead would not have had the opportunity to wreak havoc and develop only when the human kingdom was fighting internally.

Even now, the Snow Fox Countess still believes that at least the Kingdom of Lensa will not have any major problems dealing with the current tide of undead.

Just don't be scared.

The great nobles around the Snow Fox Countess seemed to be thinking about something and disapproving.

However, those who disagreed did not say anything to stop the Snow Fox Countess from continuing to give orders.

Now, no one dared to challenge the authority of the Snow Fox Countess, the commander-in-chief.

The Snow Fox Countess stood in the core fortress of the defense line, her eyes fixed on the wilderness flickering with ghostly green flames.

Under the moonlight, the wild field also seemed to resemble a starry sky, except that the twinkling stars here were all green.

The Snow Fox Countess stopped talking to the military nobles around her and continued to give orders.

It's not very frequent, and it's not completely nonsense. The Snow Fox Countess will remind you of some important points from time to time.

The Snow Fox Countess doesn't like war very much now.

She used to like it very much, because war meant merit, wealth and glory.

She gained a lot through the war, otherwise, she would have become just an ordinary tool for marriage.

But now, she could no longer gain more through war.

The Southern Kingdom is stronger than the Northern Alliance, with a longer heritage, but the classes are also more rigid.

The Northern Alliance needs to constantly face the threat of orcs, which gives ordinary citizens the opportunity to become knights, but in the South, this is very rare.

The Snow Fox Countess only turned the Snow Fox Family from decline to prosperity and regained what they had lost. The Snow Fox Countess still retains the claimed land, but if she wants to go a step further and have the family obtain more fiefdoms, that would be extremely difficult.

Of course, there are many benefits to maintaining one's military influence.

…

The battle on the Borun Kingdom side had already begun.

The Kingdom of Borun is not a weak country, but on the battlefield on this land, the fleet that the Kingdom of Borun is proud of is useless.

In theory, the undead are not that powerful creatures.

Indeed, the dead need no rest and feel no fear.

But ordinary skeletons don’t have muscles. They rely entirely on soul power to drive their bodies, and they don’t have very strong power.

At least an ordinary farmer with a pitchfork can easily defeat an ordinary skeleton. And most of the undead do not have sophisticated armor, sharp weapons, or even high intelligence, and cannot execute too complicated commands.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But if there are so many skeletons that they seem to be able to fill the ocean, they will be far more powerful than a legion of conscripted soldiers.

There are still many high-level undead here.

Fortunately, the only undead flying units are ghosts, which are relatively weak creatures. Apart from screaming, they have no long-range attack methods.

Soldiers on multiple defense lines were still struggling to cope.

Many places are already seeking help.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Borun also squeezed out a lot of troops to support the defense line.

But the King of Bolun knew that this was not their core military force.

The King of the Kingdom of Bolun understood the thoughts of these nobles, but now, is it really possible to deal with such a terrifying tide of undead without taking out real things?

The King of the Kingdom of Bolun came to the prison in the royal city.

Come to see the former Secretary of State for War.

Originally, the former Minister of War was about to leave his super-luxury prison and return to his family fiefdom.

But now that the undead have appeared, the King of the Kingdom of Bolen dares not let the former Minister of Military Affairs leave at will.

The former Minister of Military Affairs glanced at the King of Bolen Kingdom and sneered, "You have been coming here quite frequently these days."

The King of Bolen ignored the harsh words of the former Minister of War.

He talked about the current situation and then asked, "What can you do?"

"There's no way." The former Minister of War did not intend to say anything.

"If something happens to the country, it will not benefit anyone, and your family's territory will also suffer." The King of the Kingdom of Bolun said sternly.

The former Secretary of State for War was unmoved.

The King of the Kingdom of Bolun was talking a lot with saliva flying.

The former Minister of War simply said: "You can't ask the nobles to provide troops, and neither can I. It's meaningless for you to ask me for help."

The King of Bolen did not want to admit that he was asking for help from his subjects.

As a king, it would be humiliating for him to bow to the nobles.

The King of Bolun left in disappointment.

He has been here several times in the past few days.

It's a pity that the former Minister of War is so proud of himself.

But he still has a way.

"I will go to the front line myself, and you will come with me." After returning to the palace, the King of the Kingdom of Bolen said.

After hearing this, all the ministers in the palace changed color.

The vast majority of great nobles are direct vassals of the king. If the king intends to go to the front line to fight in person, then these vassals will basically have to follow him.

This is the basis of the aristocratic system.

And if anything happened to the king under their protection, it would be a shame that brought disgrace to their family.

They knew very well what the king meant.

Ask them to contribute some manpower.

Or follow the king to battle in person.

The bearded King of the Kingdom of Bolen sneered as he looked at the nobles whose faces changed in the audience.

If we take them to fight at the front line, the combined personal guards of these great nobles will form a considerable military force.

He had already made up his mind to hold the line against the undead.

The Kingdom of Bolen must be strong, otherwise he will face the same humiliation as when he faced Rand again.

Faced with Rand's threat, he, as a king, actually gave in and gave Rand benefits.

…

On the other side, the elf elder disguised himself as a scholar and came to the outside of the village as usual.

After asking, they found out how to get to the holiday villa.

First, ride a horse or take a carriage to the town of Man Yue Ling.

Then there are Centaur carriages that you can ride. The village chief strongly recommends that the elf elders who come here for the first time try the Centaur carriage.

The Centaurs would then carry the passengers from the Full Moon Territory to the New Moon Territory, and then to the Crescent Moon Territory.

The elf elder was puzzled.

What is a Centaur chariot? Can a ferocious and unruly creature like a Centaur pull a chariot?

What was going on? Did a docile centaur breed appear, or was it just a gimmick created by the local lord?

The elven elders are unknown.

However, the elf elder thought that the village chief’s suggestion could be adopted.

It was a good opportunity to see the terrain of the place where his students were enslaved, and to plan an escape route after helping his apprentice regain his freedom.

The elven elders were already very clear about one thing: the territory of Rand, who had recently become the Grand Duke, was definitely one of the most powerful in the human world.

I still need to inquire about the follow-up matters before making plans.

However, as a top-level professional, he also brought two top-level professional rangers with him, so escape should not be a problem.

After arriving at Man Yue Territory by carriage, the scene was already quite different.

There is surprisingly not much exaggeration in the descriptions of this place by outsiders.

The humans here live very well, much better than the villagers in many elf villages.

The elven elders did not agree with this point. If the civilians were treated too well, they would only become more and more demanding. Moreover, if the lord did not work hard to amass wealth and the wealth could not be gathered in the lord's hands, then the lord would not have the strength to defend his territory.

It looks prosperous here.

But the elven elders did not think that this could continue for long.

Of course, we need to wait and see. He is not the kind of person who would jump to conclusions based on his own prejudices without actually investigating.

It's just that he is quite pessimistic.

…

The centaurs here can actually pull carts.

I guess a new species has indeed appeared.

He can even speak the common language.

It's incredible. I want to catch it and study it.

In this way, maybe the elves will also have centaur chariots.

The Centaur pulling the cart was a little confused. He tried to chat with the scholar and his two assistants, but they seemed to need quiet, so he didn't say much.

And he always felt like he was being watched.

How strange.
