Blood Dragon

For Kaidasa, it was the first time to see so many ghouls.In countless small-scale sneak attacks, the Bin tribe is quite familiar with this ugly, crooked monster.These monsters are very tenacious, and ordinary injuries are difficult to stop them. In fact, the priests of the church believe that they actually have only a little sentience left.Known to eat the flesh of the dead, these monsters can't help but be feared and loathed.But for humans, the real danger of ghouls is not their strength and tenacity, but their long claws.These claws, due to the large amount of residual carrion, the carrion, together with the body fluids they secreted, eventually condensed into a layer of deadly poison.A person scratched by these claws can die within minutes.

It seems that the people on the left wing are not very easy to fight...Kedasa thought about it in his heart, and at the same time turned his eyes to the enemy in front of him.

The central force of the Bin tribe, which Kaidasa himself was facing, was an unfamiliar undead army.At least in the previous confrontation, Kedaza had never seen these monsters.But a spy had brought him related news.These undead creatures look a bit like skeletons, but are actually something very different.They are still covered with muscle and skin, although these things have long been dehydrated; they wear ancient armor made of black iron and bronze, although these armors are covered with dust and rust; they are as orderly as human warriors Well, though the evil fire of black magic blazed in their empty eyes.In front of their formation, the banner of the vampire's blood dragon fluttered in the wind.

Rumor has it that these monstrosities known as Graveguards are the most powerful and deadly army of vampires.But from the current point of view, they are not as powerful as expected, because the number of these barren grave guards is smaller than that of skeleton warriors.A good strike with cannon and musketry could have wiped out most of them before they even entered close combat.

But, beyond the front line, the vampires must have also used the cover of the formation to hide other troops.The army of the undead now occupied a gentle slope, not more than twenty cubits high.Although this kind of hillside cannot provide a condescending advantage in battle, it is enough for the vampires to hide other troops from the sight of the Ben tribe.At the same time, this kind of terrain also has a good defensive effect on weapons such as muskets that attack in a straight line.As long as the undead army retreated a little bit, retreating from the ridgeline of the hillside to the bottom, the musket would be useless.

Kaidasa looked at his army with some satisfaction.The facts in front of him clearly show that he is now the most powerful one in the Bin clan.This is not only in relative terms, but also in absolute terms, because the central yang composed of his troops is much stronger than the two wings combined.At least half of the power of the Bin clan is already in his hands.

"My lord, are we going to attack?" one of the generals asked, his voice a little nervous.

"No." Kaidasa turned his mind, and a good idea immediately appeared in his mind. "You." He turned to face an orderly next to him. "Go and inform Damon, let him launch a wave of attack first, just say..." He thought for a while. "If you win, you can flank the vampire's central troops. If you fail, you can also lure the vampire away from his favorable terrain. By the way, there is also you," he ordered to another subordinate. "Go and ask the magicians, what kind of magic can be used now."

I don't know if it can be done... Looking at the smoke and dust caused by the orderly's horseshoes, Kaidasa pondered Damon's reaction.If he hadn't miscalculated, Damon's troops hadn't been able to get supplies for a whole day—that is to say, they were hungry and tired at the moment, and they might be defeated if they couldn't exert much combat power.Speaking of which, the vampire was really lucky, the skeleton warrior with the lowest combat power happened to meet Damon with the lowest combat power.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, Damon is just a stumbling block in his way...

"My lord, the magicians have reported that the wind of magic is neither violent nor calm today. They can use a variety of magic, and they will choose according to the battle situation. If you have special orders, you can give them in time." The one looking for magic The division's men have returned with a little good news. "Also, the artillery is in place and ready to fire at any time."

But now is not a good time to shoot.After about a wave of shelling, the vampires would simply retreat.Although the cannon is a throwing weapon in a sense, if the vampire retreats, it will inevitably have a great adverse effect on the cannon's firing range and battle result estimation.It's better to find a way to lure the undead army out a little bit... To be honest, the combat power of the undead army is actually not strong at all, but that Belle can run faster than a rabbit.

Kedasar waited for Damon to make a move, but he waited long enough to find that the right wing hadn't moved, not even the orderly had returned.Undoubtedly, this was Damon's trick, he refused Kaidasa's order and refused to be the first to fight.

That damned guy still preserved his strength in this kind of life-and-death battle!Kedasa almost wanted to yell in Damon's face in public.But in fact, in the current environment, he has nothing to do with Damon.This sense of frustration distorted his face involuntarily.

"Pass my order, let the sword and shield soldiers advance in small steps." Damon can't count on it, he can only rely on himself. "Let the long halberd stand by and form a formation for the sword and shield soldiers to pass through." He thought about it.The vampire must be lured away from the favorable terrain, otherwise the guns and cannons will not be able to play a real role, which means that the long-range troops with the absolute advantage of the Bin tribe cannot play their normal role.

"Let the musketeers stand by?" asked a stupid subordinate beside him.Kedaza couldn't help but glared at him.It's really stupid. Although according to the normal rules, the melee troops should use long-range weapons to attack and weaken the enemy as much as possible before engaging in battle, but the current situation is that the vampires can completely disable the musketeers by retreating, and the results of the cannons are discounted. , Magicians even have to be forced to enter the front line to cast spells normally.

His stare had an effect, and the fool dared not continue to ask.

Without the cover of a long-range attack, the sword soldiers should be defeated by those barren grave guards.In order to chase down the defeated sword and shield soldiers, the barren grave guards had to get out of the favorable terrain.and was immediately thwarted by cannon, magic and musketry.As for the defeated sword and shield soldiers, Kaidasa thought very clearly.The sword and shield soldiers will suffer certain losses, but they will never suffer heavy losses.This is because firstly, under the cover of long-range and magic, the enemy's pursuit will be effectively contained, and secondly, they can retreat to the rear and regroup through the gap left by the halberd soldiers.

"Notify the magicians to ensure that vampires cannot use the magic that speeds up the undead."

……

Damon stared at the undead army phalanx ahead.

Although it was far away, he could still clearly see the sea of ​​bones.The corpses of these miserable ancient warriors lay dormant beneath the earth, but the vampire and his minions awakened them from their death slumber and drove them into battle.Most of the skeleton warriors only have bare skeletons, and a few still wear long-decayed armor.Their pupils glow with an unclean light and gather quietly as they did in life, waiting for their master to issue a command.

In the ranks of skeleton warriors, tattered flags fluttered in the wind, and broken horns sounded from time to time, making people uncontrollably reminiscent of a tragic elegy.

As terrifying as it looked, Damon knew that the skeletons had no real intelligence.Most of them just raised their swords and spears and raised their shields to fight under the will of vampires.They are slow in movement and weak in combat power.In fact, their real threat is psychological.Because the living who fight these warriors must endure all kinds of supernatural visions.If it is a soldier who lacks determination and will, he often cannot calmly witness a group of undead soldiers in ancient armor staggering towards him.

A small part of his body told him that if he attacked according to Kedazar's request at this time, he might be able to break through the left wing of the vampire in one fell swoop.

But this is impossible.His reason immediately drove this little temptation out of his mind.His soldiers hadn't eaten for a day, and all of them were listless. It was entirely because of another reason that they could continue to stay at their posts.If close combat occurs, soldiers who lack physical strength may exhaust their energy and collapse in a short time.On the contrary, the skeleton warrior never tires and never backs down.The odds are not that great.

And it was too late to regret it now.Now in his team, the middle management already knew and agreed with his plan.In fact, the expected widespread opposition almost never happened, and even one or two opponents were quickly persuaded by their companions.After all, for ordinary warriors, being able to protect their families is an irresistible temptation, let alone the land and autonomy promised by vampires.However, the real underlying reason is what Kedasa did.

Damon was not surprised to see that Kedaza guy finally started to attack.Commanding, though, was never the guy's forte.Instead of firing, he sent a single sword and shield soldier to attack the front of the undead army.Anyone who isn't an idiot will recognize this as a decoy, an outright bait, an attempt to lure the opponent out of a favorable position.If it was Damon who commanded the undead army at this time, then he believed that he could eat the bait and spit out the hook.

A small group of cavalry approached him from behind, momentarily attracting Damon's attention.The leader of the cavalry galloped over and stopped his horse until he ran in front of him.

"How's the situation?" Damon asked eagerly without waiting for the other party to speak.

"It's done." The other party replied succinctly.

In this case, the vampire should be satisfied...

At this time, the skirmish had already begun, and the sword and shield soldiers charged into the queue of the barren grave guards from the front.The living and the dead were entangled together, and all of a sudden, there were killing sounds and blood everywhere.

Things were exactly as Kedasa expected, the sword and shield soldiers were quickly defeated, and the soldiers retreated in panic.But what he didn't expect was that the vampires took advantage of the momentum to launch a full-scale attack.The left, middle and right three roads move forward at the same time.

"Great, go, urge the magicians to cast spells and cover the retreat of the defeated soldiers. Let me fire the cannon too. Let the musketeers use the sound of the cannon as a sign, and fire as soon as the cannon is fired!"

Kaidasa ordered excitedly.He waited for the gunfire and magic to crumble the vampire's undead legions to pieces.But he soon sensed that something was wrong.There was no magic and no artillery fire. When the undead army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill them, the long-range troops he had prepared a long time ago were completely silent.One hundred steps, fifty steps, the enemy is getting closer and closer, but nothing happens!What happened?

"My lord, it's bad! Damon's people have controlled the artillery and magicians!" Someone shouted and ran over, covered in blood, in a state of desperation.Kaidasa looked to the right in horror, but saw the vampire's blood dragon battle flag being raised by the right-wing army of the Bin tribe.
