Chapter 340 A Counterattack (4000)

The war on the ice field was extremely brutal, and the number of cold monsters in the periphery exceeded 3,000. And as the cold monsters from the deep polar regions arrived one after another, their number would increase.

The tactics of the Frost Demon were simple and crude, using ice magic to continuously bombard the defense line of the Undead Army. The Undead guarding the entrance of the base could only withstand the fierce magic attacks of the Frost Demon. Even with the spell support provided by the Undead Mage behind, the low-level Undead on the front line were still constantly consumed.

The consumption rate exceeds the output rate of the Old Cemetery and the Old Land. We won’t be able to keep fighting like this for long.

Helot surveyed the battlefield from the air.

Soon, I realized that the cold demons' offensive seemed very fierce, but their will to attack was not firm. They mostly chose to use ice magic to launch long-range attacks, and rarely dared to risk their lives to charge forward. Even long-range attacks were very casual, with neither fixed-point saturation attacks nor coordinated casting of large-scale joint magic.

And because they were in an "absolute offensive", after the cold demons had exhausted their magic power, they ran to the rear camp to rest and recover their magic power, without any vigilance towards those behind them.

From this we can see that these cold monsters come from different tribes, have no mutual subordination, and are in a state of fighting each other.

Because they were fighting on their own, they didn't want to make too many sacrifices on the battlefield, so they planned to use magic attacks to consume all the undead. Anyway, the undead were trapped in the base inside the mountain, and they would be wiped out sooner or later.

Top-notch individual combat capability, but extremely poor combat quality.

Not only does war waste magic power, but it also requires all of the magic power to be released before retreating to rest.

A low-level tribal society.

We must eliminate the cold demons' psychological advantage before forcing them to the negotiating table.

After inspecting the battlefield, Helot returned to the base entrance and said to Veron, who was commanding the defense, "We are going to launch a counterattack."

Belon had long seen the problem with the cold monsters: "No cold monsters have appeared in the Glacier Canyon. It seems that they don't know the entrance to this secret base. At night, let Howl lead a part of the Burning Cavalry to sneak out of the Glacier Canyon, go behind the cold monsters and wait for the attack signal.

I have discovered the pattern of the cold demons' attacking in shifts. When the attacking cold demon has used up its magic power and goes back to rest, and the next attacking cold demon has not yet arrived at the position, I order the crawling ice figurines to launch a round of offensive to attract the cold demon's attention. Howl can then launch an attack from behind the cold demon.

After the chaos at the rear of the cold demon, I led another part of the burning cavalry out of the base and fought a penetration with Howl. After a round of counterattack, Howl led his burning cavalry directly into the base, and I led my burning cavalry to sneak into the depths of the ice field and look for an opportunity to return from the glacial canyon.

The cold demon suffered a loss and thought we had an army lying in ambush outside, so he certainly wouldn't dare to attack so recklessly again."

Helot didn't expect that just after he proposed a counterattack, Veron put forward a comprehensive counterattack plan.

He is worthy of being the general who followed his ancestors into battle.

However, Helot still had his own opinion: "Defending the base is the focus of this war. When the counterattack begins, you stay and continue to command the defense. I will lead the Burning Cavalry to attack and cross with Howl."

Belon said worriedly: "Master, although the success rate of counterattack is very high, it is still very dangerous. Please let me lead the Burning Cavalry to attack."

Helot said: "I can't command such a complicated defense system. If there is a big mistake, this counterattack will be meaningless. On the contrary, charging is easier for me. Stay in the position where you are most needed, let the cold demon see an impeccable defense, and recognize that this is a war they can't win."

The Undead Army can rely on low-level Undead to stop the Frost Demon from advancing, and Belon's command is crucial. He can accurately find the weak points of the defense system and decisively send troops to supplement them; he can detect the enemy's offensive rhythm and make full use of his own spellcasting units to minimize his own losses in the magic confrontation.

The cold demon did not dare to risk his life to advance, because he was frightened by the targeted magic fire launched by Belon. Even the mistress of the cold demon did not dare to be in such a magic bombardment.

Veron's overall view and subtle operations in defensive battles are both art.

Helot didn't dare to stand in such a critical position. If one point was breached, the entire defense line might collapse.

He pinned Veron down in defensive command and refused to allow him to move.

Then he summoned Howl and divided the five thousand elite Burning Cavalry into two.

After dark, Howl led 3,000 Burning Cavalry out of the base from the Glacier Canyon. After reaching the ground, the Burning Cavalry made a big circle and went behind the Frost Demon. The traces on the road were cleaned up by the Undead Mage who was specially responsible for the rear. This road was of vital importance and must not be exposed.

Helot led two thousand Burning Cavalry and stood by inside the base.

While waiting, he did not visit Melissa, nor did he send his subordinates to inquire about the progress of the operation.

At this time, no news is good news, which means the operation is still in progress.

The most important thing now is to win this counterattack, which is related to whether he can take Melissa back to the ice castle. Therefore, he cannot let anything disturb his mind. Life and death... will be revealed in the end, and there is no need to entangle in the process.

On the battlefield outside, the explosions produced by the magical confrontation gradually became sparse.

The cold demons who are using magic to attack on the front line are running out of magic power, and they will soon be replaced by cold demons with sufficient magic power to continue using magic to attack.

The time has come to fight back.

Belon's order came in, and Helot rode a ghost horse and led the burning cavalry out of the base and into the starting position.

Outside the base, Veron used the time when the intensity of the confrontation decreased to create a 20-meter-long passage on the zombie dam. Helot's cavalry entered the passage. The thickness of the zombie dam in front of them was only three meters, and there was nothing unusual to see from the outside.

This is also the attack area carefully selected by Belon. The frequency of attack in this area is much lower than other places. It can be judged that the attacking cold monsters outside belong to two tribes. It is likely that there is a conflict between the two cold monster tribes, and neither of them wants the magic they release to fall into the attack area responsible for the other party.

If we pass through the junction of these two cold demon tribes, the risk factor will definitely be lower!
The offensive magic became increasingly sparse, and the cold demons whose magic power was exhausted retreated. The cold demons that replaced them entered the front line of the battlefield.

The entire alternation process was extremely random and disorderly, which showed that the cold demons believed that the undead would only passively defend and not fight back.

Behind the Frost Monster, Howl led 3,000 Burning Cavalry to the attack position. They formed three arrow-shaped attack formations and attacked the Frost Monster from the center and the two wings.

After the counterattack was completed, Howl led the central Burning Cavalry into the base with the support of Veron. The other two Burning Cavalry completed the penetration, turned around to cover the flank of the Burning Cavalry led by Helot, and together they went back to the base through the Glacier Canyon.

There is no requirement for the outcome of this counterattack. After all, the opponents are cold demons whose strength can at least reach the extraordinary level one, and there are probably a few who are at the extraordinary level three.

It started quickly and ended quickly, leaving no time for the cold demon to react.

Howl rode on his black horse and stood at the forefront of the burning cavalry in the middle. He and all the burning cavalry extinguished the flames on their bodies. The pale skeletons spread on the white ice field did not look too eye-catching.

He held the saber in his hand, and the soul fire in his eye sockets looked up at the sky above the battlefield. A flare was shot into the sky with a trail of flames, and after it exploded, it emitted a large amount of fireworks, which contained information about the attack.

Howl raised his saber and shouted, "Burn the cavalry! Sea of ​​fire!"

Three thousand Burning Cavalrymen ignited their flames together, forming three sharp arrows on the dark ice field pointing to the battlefield. Then the horses galloped, and the high temperature sublimated the ice on the surface, forming a large area of ​​white frost fog behind the Burning Cavalrymen.

The earth shook, the sea of ​​fire illuminated the darkness, and also illuminated the panicked faces of the cold monsters.

They couldn't imagine how so many undead would appear behind them and rush in front of them.

The cold demon, with his magic power exhausted, squeezed out the last bit of his magic power and buried himself in the spherical ice house.

The Burning Cavalry rushed over, and the flames and horses' hooves collapsed the not-so-solid ice house. The Burning Cavalry that followed up used fire whips to whip the cold demons, knocking them to the ground and rolling them, trampling them with horses' hooves and roasting them with flames.

Three Burning Cavalry units crashed into the sparse Cold Demon camp from three directions. Some of the panicked Cold Demons fled, some hid, and some used protective spells to withstand the impact of the cavalry. Very few Cold Demons thought of stopping the cavalry.

The chaos in the cold demon camp caused the cold demons on the front line to shift their attention to their backs. They had no idea what was happening in the camp, they only saw the flames slicing through the darkness.

The second magic flare was launched into the air.

A gap opened in the zombie dam, and Helot led the Burning Cavalry to step over the zombies that were unable to dodge and swarmed out of the zombie dam.

All the Burning Cavalry set themselves on fire the moment they rushed out of the dam, and automatically divided into three attack formations while galloping forward.

Before the cold demon could react, he charged headfirst into it.

On the zombie dam, a large number of crawling ice figurines came forward, and the ice speculators "bayoneted" the front line of the cold demons, and released the crawling ice figurines towards the cold demon camp. The ice cone waterfall splashed over the cold demon camp, and the cold demon had no energy to stop the interspersed burning cavalry.

Helot led a charge of burning cavalry, with flaming red silk draped over the shoulders of the silver armor, fireworks erupting, and a huge tail of fire swinging.

It was like a unified burning cavalry formation, scaring the cold demon in front into dodging in panic. When it couldn't dodge, it built a sturdy spherical ice house for itself and lay inside it.

Helot stretched out his hand, and the perfect battle blade flew out, spinning in the air before slashing at the igloo that was blocking the way ahead.

The thick igloo did not stop the perfect battle blade. It cut through the middle of the igloo so quickly that it caused almost no visible damage, but blood seeped out from the cracks.

In front of the sea of ​​fire offensive, the burning cavalry galloping together had an absolute advantage over the lone cold monsters. Wherever the fire hooves trampled, few cold monsters could survive this attack.

The six Burning Cavalry formations cut through the middle of the Cold Demon camp like six sharp blades. After crossing each other, they rushed towards their respective planned directions.

Leaving behind the confused cold monsters.

Even though the Burning Cavalry had the advantage in the attack, Helot and Howl did not turn back to attack again.

With a thousand Burning Cavalrymen, Howl returned to the base through the gap opened by the zombie dam under the protection arranged by Belon. Belon immediately rearranged the defense and replaced the troops that were transferred for the counterattack.

After gathering four thousand Burning Cavalry, Helot turned off the engine and galloped away from the battlefield. Then, after circling outside for a few times, he withdrew the Burning Cavalry in batches through the Glacier Canyon back to the base.

However, he still left 500 Burning Cavalrymen to keep moving on the ice field. The traces they left behind could cover up the traces near the glacier canyon, and also let the cold demons know that there is a powerful mobile force that can threaten them at any time behind them.

Helot returned to the polar base, and the stunned cold demon did not launch an attack all night.

Belon released a ghost to investigate and found that the cold demon had shrunk.

It seems that the counterattack was very effective this time, and the cold demons were frightened. The Burning Cavalry's overwhelming charge was enough to make the cold demons imagine the combat power of the undead to be exaggerated.

The advantage of strong offensive capabilities is perfectly demonstrated, and the weaknesses of defense are well hidden.

With this important bargaining chip, we can bring the cold demons to the negotiating table.

Helot sent a ghost messenger to express his desire for peace talks to the cold demon.

The cold demons responded quickly as well.

The cold demon mistresses are willing to talk.

It can be seen that last night's counterattack caused them great casualties, and the current situation is that they are surrounded by the undead.

At least that's what the cold demons think.

The sun illuminates the polar regions, and the war has shattered the ice sheets.

The negotiation site was set in the middle of the two sides' arrays. Helot and Howl rode down the zombie dam on horseback, followed by a hundred armored heroic burning cavalrymen. The flames burning on their bodies formed a flame barrier that could still burn fiercely under the suppression of the polar ice element.

Seven mistresses came from the cold demon side, led by Mistress Kaishiya, who had encountered Helot twice.

Helot jumped off the ghost horse.

Madam Kaishia waved her hand and a glimmer of icy light appeared. Layers of ice piled up to form a long ice table. The matrons sat down behind the ice table, and ice chairs automatically formed behind them.

Helot smiled and stretched out his hand to summon the "Old Code".

The Old Code spewed out black smoke and used death energy to build a bone table that connected to the ice tables of the mistresses. Then it made a luxurious bone chair for Helot, which floated beside Helot. The pages of the book turned slowly, and there were streams of fire coming out of it, which looked very cool.

Helot sat down on the bone chair and said, "I have no intention of disturbing the peace of the polar region! This time I led the undead army deep into the polar region because my enemy attacked me and my friends with the help of the protection given by the polar region.

If the cold demons feel that this entry is an offense to you, I apologize to you and am willing to leave the polar region with my undead soul."

Madam Kaishiya sneered: "Is the Polar Region a place where you can come and go as you please? Only by eliminating all invaders can we stop outsiders from coveting the Polar Region and restore peace to the Polar Region!"
