Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage

After the hereditary honorary count Hartmann Segura sent the news back, King Louis finally agreed to Christine's conditions after consideration. After all, he is a king. Although it will cost more money to raise cattle and horses of equal value, it is easy to do. Compared with the negative impact of being unable to rescue the city of Caen, paying more cost is not unacceptable.

After signing the agreement, Christine dispatched a dozen knights, 2,000 infantrymen, and 600 cavalry to the front line to begin the official eradication of the undead. If Onelia were here, these undead would be nothing, and no one knew the undead better than a lich. Even if you can't take over the command openly, you can do it secretly, but unfortunately things don't always happen when people want it to happen.

It's actually not difficult to deal with just skeletons and zombies, but mid-to-high-level undead creatures such as ghouls, ghosts, and giant skeletons pose a greater threat. Stuart's army had three advantages, so casualties were minimal. First of all, all soldiers are wearing full-body armor, and it is difficult for low-level undead creatures to break through the defense. Secondly, there are mages participating in the battle. Even though there are only a dozen of them, they can kill the most threatening high-level undead creatures. Finally, there are many chaplains accompanying the army. As long as they are not killed on the spot, they can basically be saved.

The two infantry corps of the Royal Army are second-line troops. They are equipped with iron helmets, half-length chainmails, spears or swords. They can fight relying on fortifications such as walls, but they may suffer huge casualties if they attack proactively. These three thousand people are already the only mobile troops of the Royal Army. If they are lost and trouble occurs, militiamen will have to be sent. Otherwise, why would King Louis ask Christine to send troops to help.

With the elite troops led by Stewart joining the battle, the battle to eliminate the undead immediately became easier. But this is far from enough. King Louis's minimum requirement is to keep the city of Caen. Only in this way can he fulfill his obligation to rescue the local nobles.

.

Caen City, Mage Guild, Mage Tower Teleport Hall.

The magic circle flashed, and the four mages Olivia, Ramos, Nazan, and Bennington were teleported over. The Count of Caen and other nobles who had been waiting here hurried forward to greet them.

"Good evening, Count Caen." Olivia and others greeted him with a salute.

"Good evening, Master Olivia. Good morning, all mages." Count Caen and others returned the greeting extremely politely.

"Count Caen, I am here to support you on the orders of the Duke to resist the attack of the undead."

"Thank you Duke Stuart, thank you all."

King Louis' request for Christine's help did not need to be hidden from anyone, so the Count of Caen also knew about it. For the king, as long as he sends reinforcements, he has fulfilled his obligation. For the Count of Caen, as long as there are reinforcements, it doesn't matter where the reinforcements come from.

Due to the magic disaster, all the fifth-level mages of the Mages Guild have been transferred to the front line. Although the branches in Caen City and other counties will not be closed down, the two or three big cats and kittens are left to fight against the undead. The army is a drop in the bucket.

The mages brought by Olivia this time are all at least level five. How could Count Caen be unhappy or dissatisfied?

"Count Caen, it is said that the war here is urgent, so I will take people to the front line first, and we will talk about other things later."

"Okay, okay, the carriage is ready, please."

The Earl of Caen was immediately overjoyed after hearing this and hurriedly sent someone to make arrangements. He was most afraid that Olivia and the others would take a day off as an excuse to take a long trip. Although the teleportation would not take more than half a minute, there was really nothing he could do if the mage said so. The war situation is urgent now. If we delay for one more day, many more people may die.

Because of the demonic disaster, the city walls of Caen were repaired. The Earl of Caen also has a dozen knights and nearly a thousand soldiers. Their equipment is similar to that of the second-line troops of the Royal Army, and their combat effectiveness is guaranteed. However, there are too many undead creatures.

Now there are nearly 20,000 people densely packed below. Although most of them are skeletons and zombies, they look extremely scary. The way they attack the city is to swarm under the city wall and build ladders. They are slow and inefficient, and it is not difficult for the soldiers defending the city to deal with them. After they have set up the ladder, they can just stab it down with a spear. Even if it is hit with a stone, it will be no problem. After the human ladder falls over, these undead creatures will continue to build it tirelessly, but they will not be able to finish it in less than ten or twenty minutes.

The greatest damage to soldiers comes from those mid-level and high-level undead creatures, because the restricted vision in the dark makes it impossible to detect them in advance.

(Setting of this book) Ghouls, they will suddenly rush up when the ladder is halfway up. If you don't avoid it in time, you will be caught or injured. Their flexibility is also not low. Once they rush into the crowd, even if they are killed in the end, the soldiers will suffer considerable casualties.

Most of the corpse demons are transformed from dead dark elves. They instinctively use their original weapons and armor. Although they are only at the third level, they are more difficult to deal with. An opponent who moves quickly, attacks sharply, and is not afraid of pain or death will lose more than a dozen lives even if the defender is killed in the end.

Although the ghosts are very few in number, they can float up the city wall from anywhere because they are floating. Their attack method is to absorb the opponent's energy when passing through it, causing death. Ordinary people will die in one hit, while soldiers will die in two or three hits. They seem to be low in damage and not very threatening, but they are immune to ordinary physical attacks. Slashing them with soldiers' swords will have no effect. Once they appear on the battlefield, they will cause great panic.

The way to deal with them is for priests to use "sacred weapons" or for legal professionals to use elemental spells, but even if they are killed in the end, the ghosts will cause a lot of casualties to the soldiers.

Boda Corpse, this weak and skinny looking creature is tightly wrapped in brittle and blackened skin. Their combat power is comparable to that of slightly more powerful ghouls, but they have an innate ability "Death Gaze".

This is a remote instant death spell once a day. Simply put, it "stares" the target to death. However, the higher the target's level and the higher its willpower, the greater the chance of immunity. It is basically ineffective against formal legal professions.

The "death stare" also has an additional effect, that is, the person who is "stared to death" will turn into a "boda corpse" after one day. On the chaotic battlefield, it was impossible to tell which soldier was killed by the "Death Gaze", which resulted in all corpses having to be disposed of properly, greatly increasing the pressure on the defenders.

There are also various other mid-level and high-level undead creatures, so even though the Earl of Caen has more than a thousand soldiers and mobilized nearly a thousand militiamen, it is normal to have nearly a hundred casualties in a battle. Resistance It was very difficult to get up.
