Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

County of Normandy, barony of Messe, village of Vere.

The eighth-level knight Jules Weber came to the entrance of the village with a dozen cavalry and ten carriages.

He glanced at the village in front and ordered: "Go and do some reconnaissance while the others get off the car and rest."

"As ordered!"

The attendant in charge of the cavalry led people into the village for reconnaissance. The attendant in charge of the infantry asked the soldiers on the carriage to get off and rest, while the coachman fed the horses.

In addition to the driver, this two-horse carriage can also carry at least ten fully armed soldiers and three days of supplies. It is the kind of soldier who is fully armored. The advantage is that marching and logistics are very convenient. The disadvantage is that raising horses is not cheap, even if they are just pack horses. But who let Stewart receive the money?

After a while, the cavalry came back, and the attendant reported: "Lord Weber, there are only a few undead creatures in the village."

After hearing this, Knight Jules Weber ordered: "Enter the village to search, pay attention to safety."

"As ordered!"

One hundred infantrymen entered from the main entrance of the village and began searching for undead creatures one by one along the road. They acted in groups of ten and never dispersed. From time to time, the sounds of fighting came from the houses. They searched dozens of houses and killed more than a dozen undead creatures hiding in the dark without any casualties.

(Setting of this book) Undead creatures also need to replenish energy. If they are in the underworld or some special place in the abyss, they can absorb negative energy to survive. Once they reach a place without negative energy like the main world, they can only rely on their own storage. . And sunlight will accelerate the consumption of the negative energy of undead creatures, so low-level undead creatures can only move at night.

Low-level undead creatures such as skeletons and zombies will die automatically if the negative energy on their bodies is not consumed. Intermediate and high-level undead creatures such as ghouls, boda zombies, and ghosts can replenish their energy by absorbing the life of living creatures.

Low-level undead creatures all act according to instinct. Some undead creatures got lost during the attack on the village, so they could only hide in the house during the day and wander around at night. Now they have become the actual opponents of Stewart's new recruits.

"There are ghouls!" Some soldier saw it and shouted immediately.

"Exit the room!" the team leader ordered.

The searching soldiers immediately withdrew and formed a defensive formation with the soldiers outside. The levels of ghouls range from level one to level four. You can't tell from their appearance, so be careful.

It was daytime now, and the sunlight made the ghoul feel extremely uncomfortable, but the living humans in front of it aroused its desire for flesh and blood. In the end, it failed to withstand the temptation and flew towards the soldiers. It seemed that its speed was at least three levels.

"prick!"

Five of the ten soldiers held spears and thrust them out at the same time following the squad leader's order.

Pfft!

The flying ghoul was pierced by a spear in mid-air and could not take another step forward.

"Last hit!"

The five soldiers holding spears smashed the ghoul to the ground together, and the other five soldiers holding short axes immediately stepped forward and cut the ghoul into pieces with a few strokes.

The squad leader is a veteran who has experienced demonic disasters, and the recruits have also undergone rigorous training for at least three months. They can easily deal with low-level undead creatures that only rely on instinct.

Seeing the soldiers deal with the ghouls, the knight Jules Weber who followed behind loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword. The purpose of taking the initiative to attack is to train troops. Naturally, it is impossible to damage the soldiers. If he encounters a strong enemy, he will take action.

The village was either big or small. It took the soldiers half a day to search carefully. All the undead creatures that had been cleared were piled in the square.

A Death Church priest who accompanied the army came forward, first recited a prayer praising the great Death God Kelanvor and letting the dead rest in peace, and then set the corpse on fire.

Some undead creatures will carry disease or corrosive negative energy. Although there will be no problem in short-term contact, for the sake of safety, the soldiers were gathered together and the priest cast a "dispelling negative energy" magic.

After the battle, Knight Jules Weber ordered: "Get in the car and go back."

It takes about a day's journey from the village closest to the border on the Loire County side to the village of Vere, barony of Messe. Due to the carriage, the time is reduced to one-third, but after searching and fighting, it is now close. At three o'clock it was time to leave.

As long as it is a day's journey from the Loire County into Normandy County, the soldiers led by Stewart will regularly patrol this area and eliminate undead creatures when encountering them. As for going further, they will not care.

.

Buller Village is located on a road from Normandy County to the Royal Capital County. A large number of refugees fled along this road, and the undead army also pursued them along this road.

A regiment of 1,500 members of the royal army is stationed here, relying on the village wall to resist the undead army. Most of these soldiers have experienced demonic disasters. Compared with cunning demons, these undead creatures are not difficult to deal with.

The first is that they will only attack at night. The advantage is that they can rest assured during the day without worrying about being attacked. The disadvantage is that for ordinary soldiers, their vision is not good at night and they need lighting.

Secondly, their attack method is very single. Ninety percent of the undead army is composed of skeletons and zombies. Their fighting method is to rush toward the wall to grab people with their claws. Unless the frontal battlefield is full, they will not attack elsewhere. But correspondingly, they will not dodge attacks. You will hit yours, and I will hit mine. If you are not careful, you will get injured and infected. However, as long as you seek timely treatment from a priest, there will be no problem.

The only thing that worries the Royal Army is that there are too many of them. It is impossible for the soldiers to sustain high-intensity fighting and must be rotated. This makes the current force even with the militia included, insufficient for defense and insufficient for attack, and can only be passively beaten. Then there are the low- and mid-level undead creatures mixed in the attacking troops. They are responsible for most of the casualties of the soldiers.

However, for the current royal army, the two roads from Normandy County to the capital county of the royal family can be completely defended. But for the Viscount Carentan and the Count of Caen, things were a little bad.

The territory of Viscount Carentan is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with only one side bordering the Barony of Messer. In the early days, a small-scale undead creature could withstand it, but now it cannot withstand a large-scale attack. Two villages were lost one after another. Fortunately, all the personnel were evacuated.

The Earl of Caen is another main attack direction of the undead army, and the Earl of Caen's soldiers, knights and other professionals are far from being able to compare with the royal army, and they have lost several villages one after another.

It doesn't matter if one or two thousand undead creatures die every day, but Count Caen's soldiers can't hold on for long even if they only lose a few dozen every day.
