Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

Hilmar Hogge.

Commander-in-chief of the Dagalisni Garrison.

He is the Earl of the Kingdom of Avalon, and his family territory is Hoggeburg.

It is a medium-sized state city with a population of more than 500,000.

And Hilmar himself has the strength of a legendary mid-level.

He is over 90 years old, but he still looks like a middle-aged man.

The position of the head of the Hogge family has long been passed on to his children and grandchildren.

He himself works wholeheartedly for the Dagalisni Giant City.

Hoggeburg is also a strategic location within the jurisdiction of the giant city, where there is the largest livestock farm in the surrounding area.

The broad Lululu River flows from west to east, and some tributaries even extend to the jurisdiction of the Luntax Giant City.

Relying on the fertile river valley plains, Hoggeburg has developed smoothly.

It has also become the most important material turnover place around the Dagalisni Giant City.

The Giant City Hall will deliberately gather foreign materials from the water to Hoggeburg first.

Try to choose cities upstream of the Lululu River for trade.

This made Hawkeburg and the entire Hawke family have no worries about food and drink, and they lived a fairly wealthy life.

And all this was earned by Hilma Hogg's dedicated service.

As the commander of the giant city, he was usually a senior member of the Marquis of Ekmeledin.

He was also present when he participated in the negotiations just now.

He could vaguely sense the oppression coming from Zong Shen.

But he didn't expect that the Marquis would be so decisive in launching the plan, opening the two ancestral magic circles, and turning from negotiations to war.

Hilma naturally knew some inside information about the situation of these two magic circles.

They came from the ancestor of the Clift family, the powerful demigod of the spellcasting system.

The giant city of Dagalisni has been very low-key over the years.

In Hilma's opinion, it would be better if the Marquis's governing strategy was more radical.

The Clift family is completely pretending to be a pig tiger, with a deep foundation.

But it seems that because of some unspeakable secrets, the Marquis of Ekmeledin always seems cautious.

Hilma once privately asked the Marquis about the secret.

But he got a sentence: "Old man, too much curiosity will only affect your future."

This puzzled Hilma, and also cast a mysterious veil over the past of the Clift family.

It is rumored that the genius ancestor of the Clift family once offended King Arthur.

But because of his military exploits, he was able to retain the fiefdom of the giant city.

But this also caused the descendants of the Clift family to become conservative and low-key.

The specific things have long been unknown.

At least here, I am afraid no one knows the truth.

If you go to the imperial city or those grand dukes, you should be able to understand the cause and effect of the matter.

Although curious, Hilma also shoulders the family mission after all.

The only way for Hochburg to go is to hold on to the thighs of the Clift family.

At this time, Hilma Hogg is on the bell tower of the first circle.

This is one of the few commanding heights in the circle.

You can see the battle situation in the arena not far away.

The garrison of the Dagalisni Giant City was almost slaughtered one-sidedly.

The scene looked chaotic and tragic.

There were quite a few legendary masters on their side, excluding the two legendary officers who were captured earlier and the four legends who were brought to the core circle by Marquis Ekmeledin to wait for orders.

There were still six legendary masters on the scene, and if Hilma himself was included, that would be seven legends.

That's right, under normal circumstances, there were thirteen legendary masters in the Dagalisni Giant City.

In the Luntax Giant City, except for the four legends controlled by the Blood Rose, there were only two legends in the garrison, one of whom was a magician.

However, although there were many legends in Dagalisni, the quality was very average.

They were mainly low-level legendary masters.

From the perspective of the lord, they were the kind with a single attribute of more than a thousand.

Legends with this attribute level were the weakest among the legends.

It was easy to beat the average sixth-level epic masters, but that was all.

In a fight of the same level, this kind of low-level legend could not gain much advantage.

The greater role is to complete the command of the incomplete military formation.

Military formations are crucial for cluster combat!

However, complete military formations are very valuable.

And the requirements for the ruler are very high.

Many times, even if the giant city has a powerful military formation, there may not be a suitable ruler to make it work.

In fact, it is easy to understand as long as the military formation is regarded as a magic formation composed of people.

The ruler who leads the military formation to attack is equivalent to the core of the magic formation.

And all the soldiers involved are the array patterns in the magic formation.

Both hard conditions are indispensable.

At present, the soldiers of the Dagalisni Giant City are being beaten.

The opponent's knights and swordsman military formations are advancing rapidly with terrible momentum.

In particular, the military formation that can emit moon blades at the edge is even more powerful. From a distance, it has an unstoppable posture.

"My lord, the second sequence is collapsing."

"And the speed of collapse is obviously beyond our expectations!"

On the clock tower, the garrison adjutant Dizzy Madoc said in a deep voice.

Hilma glanced at his adjutant and answered in a cold tone.

"Are you scared?"

"We all swore to protect the honor of this city and the Clift family."

His words made the adjutant hesitate.

Too long of peace has long sapped everyone's fighting spirit.

Although he promised to die for the city when he swore an oath.

But when it came time to face a life-or-death decision, hesitation took over all his emotions.

In a place where the principle of war is the principle, there are less than one out of ten soldiers who are truly willing to die.

Hilma sighed slightly.

He knew that Marquis Ekmeledin had already prepared for the worst.

In the past few days, a team of elites was dispatched to send all the family members to Hogburg.

It is the most powerful defensive city within the jurisdiction of the giant city of Dagalisini.

Coupled with the developed inland river shipping, if an accident occurs, the family can always take the magic speedboat to go upstream or downstream.

Hidden among the thousands of ships sailing every day.

Hilma was unsure about the outcome of this battle.

The pre-war plan was perfect, but in the face of a powerful enemy, the plan could only delay the defeat.

The current Hilma puts more hopes on the back of the ancestors of the Clift family.

He silently counted in his heart, and at the same time he was ready to fulfill his oath.

Hilma was seen remaining silent after the admonishment.

Dizzy Maddock, the adjutant of the garrison, also regained his composure a little.

As if the humiliation of death and defeat were not so terrible.

The outcome of the war in the Endless Continent is actually easy to predict.

First look at the overall strength of the troops, and then look at the differences in arms types and levels.

Finally, there is the number and comparison of legends and higher-level powerhouses on both sides.

Magic circles, various defensive buildings and equipment are also important.

The fortresses deployed in the first circle are assisting in the counterattack.

In an attempt to suppress Zong Shen's army around the arena, soldiers from both sides were killed every moment.

It's just that in comparison, the rate of casualties on our side is obviously higher.

From a long-term overall perspective, the opponent's army is more resistant to fighting.

This is even more highlighted when battle groups collide.

The trouble doesn't stop there, except that there is a gap in the quality and strength of both sides' armies.

There is also a guard-level living ancestor who is attacking the magic circle phantom barrier on the ground in the first circle.

When the magic circle on the first circle is broken, the disadvantage of the Dagarisni garrison will be further revealed.

Taking a deep breath, Hilma raised her head and looked at the castle in the inner circle.

He was also a little confused.

…

In the battlefield.

Naturally, Mr. Zong couldn’t stay idle.

He holds dual-wielding weapons, holding [Moon Wolf's Fang (Legacy Level II)] and [Angry Roar Warhammer (Glory Level II)] in his left and right hands respectively.

The dark gold arm is holding a [Five Color Gemstone Shield (Glory Level I)].

This gives him the qualifications to be both offensive and defensive.

More like a majestic god of war.

[Moon Wolf Fang] continuously shoots [Moon Glow].

The bright light is like the skirt of the moon god.

The [Angry Roaring Warhammer] slammed forward with violent light.

Zong Shen is not only multi-tasking, but can also skillfully attack and maneuver.

His eyes turned red as he entered the active skill [Rage] that comes with the war hammer.

After entering the angry state, the sanity will be reduced by 35%, the pain perception will be reduced by 50%, the attack speed will be increased by 100%, and the strength will be increased by 1500 points.

In addition, the attack has a [impact] effect, causing an impact shock 3 meters near the hit point. The state lasts for 10 minutes and has a 12-hour cooling time.

This allows Zong Shen to cause AOE damage every time he swings the hammer.

Causes all enemies within three meters to fly into the air.

This wasn't enough. After Zong Shen cleared the enemies in front of him, he suddenly raised his neck and let out a "roar".

A buff symbol with a hammer icon suddenly appeared above the heads of the surrounding friendly forces.

Both attack speed and movement speed have been significantly improved.

This made the killing machine suddenly rotate faster.

This is the skill [Crazy Roar].

Its effect is to let out a huge roar, increase the double speed of itself and the surrounding friendly forces within 50 meters by 60%, and at the same time obtain the roaring inspiration, temporarily forgetting fear, the duration is 5 minutes, and the cooling time is 6 hours.

Whether it was [Moonlight] or violent hammer blows, Zong Shen only left stumps and broken arms wherever he went.

The scene was bloody and brutal.

Zong Shen also completely let go and was no longer as petty as before.

The high-level soldiers could never finish their harvest, and he was tired of the sloppy tactics he had adopted in the past to preserve his harvest.

Now that it is known that the Clift family has a big secret, there is no need to play tricks.

After Zong Shen fought for several minutes, Gugat broke through the magic circle shadow barrier on the ground in the first circle.

This caused the entire first circle to shake violently.

Closer to the west, the ground suddenly rose up, and tall and neat houses were pushed open by a stone pillar.

The stone pillar was dozens of meters in diameter, and at the end was a very thick magic array disk.

It looks like it's made of metal, so it's obviously different from the stone pillars.

It seems that that thing is the core of the first circle of magic circle.

With his hands free, Gugat flew towards the core circle under Zong Shen's instructions.

At this moment, it is protected by a thick multi-color mask.

With a solid value of up to 80 million points, it is difficult to be broken.

This is another hard nut that requires Gugat to spend time gnawing on.

Zong Shen did not dispatch Gujiat to attack the garrison.

Now that we have the advantage, we just need to keep the army advancing.

Letting Gugat break the shield as the spear tip is the best choice.

There are Zong Shen and Colby on the battlefield, so there will definitely be no trouble.

At this time, Zong Shen's previous [Possession of the Overlord of Power] state has also reached its duration limit.

This makes Zong Shen's figure suddenly shrink.

The end of the status skill reduces his attributes.

It is inevitable that there will be a short period of weakness.

But this weakness is also relative.

Even if only the bare attributes are left, Zong Shen is still a strong man above the legendary high-level level.

However, the sudden reduction in attack still affects his output efficiency.

Fortunately, he does not lack various transformation skills.

The dark gold arm raised the shield to block a giant crossbow shot from him.

Zong Shen held the war hammer with one arm and hit the ground, launching a new enhancement state [Possession of the Hammer King].

After activating this skill, his size suddenly increased by 3.0 times.

The strength attribute increased by 1.5 times.

The upper limit of health value increases by 3.0 times.

But the movement speed and attack speed decrease by 50%.

This makes him look a little big and slow.

But the gain is not limited to this. In the state of [Hammer King Possession].

Zong Shen's basic blunt damage will increase by 5.0 times.

When the target's power is less than one-third of his own, if he successfully hits, there is a chance to hammer the opponent into meat paste and empty all the health at once.

This is equivalent to a [Instant Kill] effect.

With his amplified power, those fifth-level and sixth-level elite soldiers who block the road have the possibility of being blown into meat paste.

This additional effect greatly increases his mowing ability.

Now he is the vanguard.

Under the leadership of Colby, the Knights added some high-level wolf cavalry that were used later to shuttle and strangle on both sides.

The main force is several swordsman formations that continue to advance.

The torrential moon blade makes the scene almost completely covered by the moonlight.

Zong Shen walks at the forefront of the army formation. He is a brave general and a brave vanguard.

Under the real-time command of the clone, Zong Shen was fully aware of the overall changes in the major military formations.

He could accurately adjust the direction and rhythm of the military formations at any time.

The battle between the two sides was like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood, and the power of the grinding wheel on Zong Shen's side was obviously greater.

And Zong Shen was a hard diamond embedded in this grinding wheel of flesh and blood, accelerating the demise of the other side.

It is worth noting that the state of [Hammer King Possession] lasts only 8 minutes.

But the cooling time is as long as 96 hours.

Zong Shen has to try his best to deal with the offensive of the Dagalisni garrison within eight minutes.

Now it depends on how many casualties the other side will suffer before their morale collapses.

With the disintegration of the first circle of magic formations, the speed at which the giant city garrison was strangled was accelerating.

Legends mixed in the military formations were also captured one after another.

The number of military formations they could maintain was getting smaller and smaller.

The more troublesome thing was the attacks from the defensive fortresses after advancing a certain distance.
