Chapter 244 The Fall of Vienna

"The city is broken! The city is broken!

Skeleton monsters are coming up, everyone run for their lives! ! ! "

"Vienna has been abandoned by God, we humans have been abandoned by God, woo woo woo~"

Desperate calls and cries were mixed together. After the skeleton musketeers climbed up the city wall, the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides only touched, and the already low morale of the Vienna defenders collapsed!

Because the defenders of Vienna found that they wanted to kill these skeleton monsters in melee, which was no easier than shooting with muskets.

The skeletons of those skeletons look ordinary, but it is not difficult to leave marks on them with a sword, but it is not something ordinary people can do to completely cut them off.

Most importantly, you must cut off the spine of the skeleton monster or the tibia connecting the skull to kill the skeleton monster.

Cutting off other bones just makes the fighting power of the skeleton monster drop slightly, and the skeleton monster without any pain can still pose a threat to their life.

Even if both arms of the skeleton monster are cut off, the skeleton monster can still bite human soldiers with its teeth!

However, the spine and tibia of these skeleton monsters are undoubtedly the hardest parts of the whole body. It is really too difficult to kill a skeleton monster...

It would be easier to pull the trigger in front of the skeleton monster's skull with a musket at close range.

It's just that this group of skeleton monsters don't look dull in battle. They are as flexible as human soldiers, and they also know how to protect their skulls, and they won't hit the muzzle with their skulls straight!

So shooting a skeleton monster's skull with a musket is easier said than done.

As a result, the soldiers of the Vienna garrison collapsed unsurprisingly.

In the eyes of some Vienna defenders, this defeat was no less than the end of the world!

After all, first encountered the succubus army that can control human beings as slaves of desire, and now encountered skeleton monsters that can only be seen in legends.

Each of these 'species' is more terrifying than the other, isn't it the end of mankind?
Of course, there are many soldiers in the army who want to continue the bloody battle for the human race to the end, but these soldiers often die the fastest, and most of them fell in the battle with the succubus army.

It can be said that Kel'Thuzad took a big advantage. The main body of the Vienna garrison is the "defeated soldiers" who have retired from the front line to rest.

Kel'Thuzad in the rear is the only one with flesh and blood in the entire skeleton army. Although his skin is very pale, he at least looks like a human being...

Pale skin can be covered up with white powder.

Kel'Thuzad has also been maintaining his human identity, and even in order to ensure that this human body will not 'starve to death', Kel'Thuzad needs to eat a normal human diet every day.

Don't think this is just Kel'Thuzad's personal hobby, nostalgic for the time when he was a human.

Kel'Thuzad has been carefully maintaining his human body, mainly to enjoy the beauty that belongs to human beings.

Don't look at those skeletons whose fighting strength is beyond the charts. Even if they exist at the same level, they are enough to crush human beings. Who said that human bodies have too many flaws?
But in daily life, the skeleton body is a very sad existence.

They can't feel the taste of any delicious food, let alone have the desires that only humans have. Skeletons without male magic weapons will never be able to become interested in women...

Taste, smell, sight, hearing, touch and even desire are actually the basis for human beings to enjoy beautiful things.

Once it becomes a skeleton, these foundations will all disappear.

This is why the undead who have transformed into immortal bodies will gradually become indifferent and extreme even if they have the consciousness and memory of life.

They suffer for a long time from the loss of all enjoyment, and their tempers naturally become very bad.

Just like the skeleton masters under Kel'Thuzad, although they have the same human consciousness as Kel'Thuzad, they have lost their normal temperament, and are more like skeleton monsters, taciturn and full of disregard for life .

Although Kel'Thuzad's human body was also eroded by death energy and lost interest in women, his basic five senses were well preserved.

Kel'Thuzad loves music very much, also likes paintings, and is a lich who is keen on tasting food.

At this time, Kel'Thuzad was playing with two round stones of the same size, with their edges and corners smoothed, circling back and forth on Kel'Thuzad's pale palm.

This kind of thing that only retired old men would do, Kel'Thuzad never tires of it!

There is no other reason, the round stone can make Kel'Thuzad feel the 'taste of being alive'.

This kind of thing that normal people are accustomed to is very precious to Kel'Thuzad.

Kel'Thuzad needs to constantly stimulate his body to prevent the death energy in his body from making his body forget the five senses, thus gradually degenerating into a corpse that cannot be saved by eating, becoming just like those ordinary liches, becoming another kind of endurance A long and painful life.

When a life cannot enjoy the pleasure brought by being alive, eternal life is a kind of torture instead.

In Kel'Thuzad's memory, he has met more than one undead with human consciousness who committed suicide because he couldn't bear the silence during his long life.

Even if they did not commit suicide, those undead with human consciousness can only use endless research and the joy brought by curiosity to maintain their idea of ​​being alive.

The reason why intelligent undead are obsessed with research is mainly because they have no other way to provide entertainment.

Even if you enjoy killing, there will always be a day when all creatures are killed, and there will always be a moment when wars will end!
This is why most undead loathe living beings, who envy them for their various sources of happiness.

Even the words 'delicious and lazy' are a paradise-like enjoyment that is elusive for the undead.

Fortunately, Kel'Thuzad retained his human body, so that he would not go to extremes like other undead.

Although maintaining a human body would make Kel'Thuzad's "flesh body" as weak as a human being, unable to use death energy to train the bones to harden, but in order not to be bored enough to commit suicide in a long life, this flaw is not at all What kind of.

"The human race in this world doesn't seem to have adapted to the image of the undead, and they lost faster than expected.

This is really a fragile world.

It seems that conquering this world is not too difficult a career for us. "

While coiling the round stone, Kel'Thuzad smiled and said to the Skeleton Archmage beside him.

Although the skeleton musketeers also have certain wisdom, they are purely undead species, they were created, so they cannot communicate with Kel'Thuzad freely.

But these skeleton mages are different, they were all human beings during their lifetime.

"My lord Lich, these humans are just the natives of this world, they should not be our real enemies.

We have perceived from the rules that there will be many legions in this world who come from different dimensions like us, pursuing the ultimate reward.

And our ultimate goal, the guy who has the ability to exploit loopholes in the rules, should also have the power to make us feel troublesome. "

The skeleton mage replied very rigorously.

Kel'Thuzad smiled, and said indifferently: "As long as there are enough humans in this world, we will have a steady stream of soldiers, and it is impossible for any army to defeat us!"

This time, the skeleton mages stopped talking, because they would not engage in meaningless flattery.

The long career of skeletons has caused the skeleton mages to lose some of their human characteristics.

For example, 'Mei Shang'.

Fortunately, as a lich, Kel'Thuzad does not need the flattery that is common in human society.

Under the control of Kel'Thuzad's mental power, the skeleton musketeer reserve team that did not attack the city began to walk in other directions in the city of Vienna, trying to block all the gaps.

At the same time, Leopold II, who learned that the city wall had fallen, fled from the other side of the city gate on a fast horse under the escort of a group of loyal knights.

Behind Leopold II was an endless contingent of nobles fleeing. The fast horses and carriages formed a torrent. The private soldiers of the nobles blocked the rout soldiers and civilians who wanted to escape together in the city, and those who dared to attack were killed on the spot. !

At this moment, the level of status determines life and death.

An organized retreat was the only thing the dignitaries in Vienna could do at this time.

Of course, this 'organization' generally prevents the unqualified from running ahead of them.

The skeleton musketeers are attacking the city in an orderly manner. They are not low-level undead soldiers without brains, but an orderly undead army!

When encountering unarmed human civilians on the street, the skeleton monster not only failed to kill them, but instead used the fire of the soul to vibrate the air and speak in a language that humans could understand.

"Everyone goes home, and those who disobey will be killed."

Generally speaking, the civilians who leave after hearing this sentence will be safe and sound. If they are not obedient, the skeleton musketeers will send them to God with bayonets.

Of course, the latter are few in number.

Even if most people know that it is a desperate thing to go back home and wait for the rule of a group of skeletons!

But for the multiple-choice question of early death and late death, people always tend to choose the latter in panic.

After the citizens of Vienna learned that the skeleton monsters would not kill people indiscriminately, fewer and fewer people fled from home. After all, the city gate was either captured by the skeleton monsters or controlled by the private army of the nobles. They could not escape at all and could only wait for the trial of fate .

The citizens of Vienna heard that there were still living people in the cities controlled by succubi, because those succubi needed living people to work and produce.

Therefore, the citizens of Vienna can only be lucky, expecting that these talking skeleton monsters also need them to work and produce.

Never before have the citizens of Vienna felt such an urge to work!
Before the Skeleton Legion completed the siege of Vienna, the great nobles and members of the royal family in Vienna had already fled, while the low-status minor nobles and other people who were not even nobles were blocked by the besieged Skeleton Legion.

During the siege, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, which was far more intense than the battle of defending the city.

The number of skeleton musketeers killed was much higher than the casualties when the skeleton musketeers attacked the city of Vienna.

It's a pity that the real elites have been taken away by the "upper class" who fled ahead of time. Although the remaining people have weapons in their hands, they still fight desperately to escape. Still lost.

When the casualties of the fleeing team exceed [-]%, no one will go desperately...

The rest of the people who did not run out put down their weapons as if appointed, and returned to the city of Vienna under the escort of the skeleton musketeers, where they were put under centralized control.

After the gunfire in Vienna completely subsided, Kel'Thuzad slowly entered the city under the escort of the skeleton mage.

Immediately afterwards, Kel'Thuzad issued a series of military orders.

All craftsmen who will build and maintain weapons and equipment in the city will remain.

The undead need weapons to fight too!
Obviously, in terms of production and manufacturing, human beings with ingenuity are more suitable.

Kel'Thuzad, who was once a human being, naturally knew this.

What is the war going on?
It's logistics!
Although undead soldiers can fight with teeth and nails without weapons, but the combat efficiency...

Kel'Thuzad is determined to get the ultimate reward from the lowering of the rules. To conquer this backward native world, he must be prepared for a long-term war.

Craftsmen who can build weapons and equipment are listed as the first priority protection objects, so they can get sufficient supplies of living materials!

Kel'Thuzad never thought of destroying the native humans of this world.

The human race in this world is so weak that they are even afraid of the undead, so there is no need to destroy them.

What's more, Kel'Thuzad's raw materials for making undead soldiers all come from humans. If humans are extinct, how can he continue to produce violent soldiers?
In the eyes of Kel'Thuzad, human beings are renewable resources for war. Undead cannot reproduce, but humans can give birth to cubs!

Since Kel'Thuzad does not intend to exterminate mankind, it is natural to provide the material guarantees that mankind needs.

Therefore, the second series of protected human beings are craftsmen who produce various living materials, as well as people with management skills and personal prestige.

After all, it is impossible for Kel'Thuzad to let the skeleton be in charge of managing human production and life...

The third protection is the traditional agricultural production personnel, commonly known as farmers or serfs.

However, the protected persons in the third rank can only be guaranteed by young men and women of the right age.

Old people from all walks of life, unless they have irreplaceable technology, will be included in the list of being transformed into undead.

Because Kel'Thuzad was prepared for a long struggle, human children were given the right to live.

The three sequences mean three different material guarantees. Kel'Thuzad is not in the mood to establish a new economic system, and the entire human society implements military control and material rationing systems.

Moreover, Kel'Thuzad also established an apprenticeship system, filling young people into important military production departments as apprentices.

At the same time, establish a strict reward and punishment system.

Laborers who meet production targets can survive!
