After clearing away the fifth stronghold where the Corpse Witch was entrenched, Liu Yifei let the army take a rest while he contacted Xue Lan and Lei Hanyu.

The army in the rear is marching safely, and is now getting closer and closer to the national border. However, the movements of the "opponent" make Lei Hanyu a little worried, because he has not even seen the shadow of the enemy all morning until now!

Although this greatly increased the marching speed of the army, it was so strange that people had to worry about whether it was the calm before the storm.

For this reason, Lei Hanyu had dispersed all the angels and griffins in the team and set up a tight surveillance line around the army. However, no trace of the enemy had been found so far, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Liu Yifei was convinced that since Emperor Aojian dared to make such a big fuss over a "private matter", he would never die without any problems.

Since he has already spent so much money...

I'm afraid there really is some more shocking conspiracy brewing!

However, Liu Yifei didn't dare to say this to Lei Hanyu. He just told him not to worry too much. The supplies in the team should be protected, and the rest... if there is any accident, it doesn't matter if a little military strength is lost.

Anyway, killing Liu Yifei is not enough. At the moment, who in the Jiuxin Empire really dares to openly attack this "expeditionary force", unless that person really doesn't want to be in the Jiuxin Empire~

On the other hand, Xuelan's side was really as "dreary" as Liu Yifei expected.

The reason why Xue Lan finally chose to bring the "Grand Priest" to fight zombies was because the magic units could continue to recover mana.

Their explosiveness and attack power are not as good as those of crossbowmen, but the real trouble in killing those hundreds of thousands of zombies is the ability to continue fighting. It doesn't matter if they are faster or slower, but it is great if they can kill them all~

What many people don’t expect is that there are actually a lot of ghouls hidden among the zombies!

Ghouls, like corpses, are also second-level mercenaries of the ghost clan. Strictly speaking, they should be "variants" of the corpse-type arms. As for how Liu Yifei was transformed, he still doesn't know much about it, but he used to represent various lords in the past.

I have seen quite a few of them while dealing with various lord tasks.

Compared with the corpse mercenaries, "Ghouls" have lower blood defense, but they have gained the ability to eat corpses to restore physical strength. And its biggest improvement is in speed!

In terms of small-scale movement, the ghoul is still not very good, but in the straight-line pursuit, it is faster than the skeleton! Combined with the characteristics of the undead unit that does not fatigue and never slows down, it is definitely the best in the army.

Long-range pursuit and running troops!

In terms of combat, the attack power of ghouls is average. Not even as good as zombie warriors. And with the reduction of blood defense, their battlefield survivability is relatively weak and they can be easily consumed~

However, their first "pounce" after accelerating the sprint is extremely fierce, not as powerful as the "combat dive" of the fighting griffon. However, there is a certain chance of "pumping" the standard size unit and suppressing it.

If the downed unit does not have enough strength attributes, it is doomed and will be crushed to the ground by the ghouls and attacked for several rounds!

Such special effects make ghouls very suitable as death squads to swoop into enemy groups in the early stages of contact battles and cause chaos in the enemy's battle formations. In Liu Yifei's opinion, they are also a very strategic special unit and he has always wanted to get them. Unfortunately, he has not found it yet.

Ways.

Knowledge about the transformation, upgrading, and strengthening of arms has always been the most closely guarded by the NPC class, because it directly involves the issue of military strength and is the basis of class rule, and it is extremely difficult for players to get involved.

If Liu Yifei and the others were not equipped with fighting griffins, the appearance of these ghouls would definitely wipe out the entire army of the high priest!

After all, the Grand Priest is only a high-level unit of the sacrificial route. It is a subordinate of the "Saint". It is not suitable for combat output. In other words, it can bully low-level natural enemy opponents. If you add an auxiliary state to yourself.

Then you can still fight~

Once dragged by the ghouls, when the zombie army rushes over, the thousand chief priests will not even be enough to fill the gap between the teeth~

Fortunately, the fighting griffons flew very fast and were not knocked down by their opponents in the first round.

After being prepared, Xue Lan then led out the ghouls and eliminated them bit by bit. This process wasted a lot of time. Fortunately, when Liu Yifei contacted her, she had already begun to gradually eat away at the zombie army.

Liu Yifei hurriedly sent three spirit-level servants to help prevent the opponent's hero from jumping over the wall...

The mission on Xuelan's side is troublesome because it consumes people's energy. It is estimated that even with Liu Yifei's support, the two of them will have to work hard for a long time~

But Liu Yifei's next battle was troublesome. It was in a cave, and the terrain was complex and changeable, and the enemy obviously couldn't let him go as easy as before~

No matter what, playing against a more mobile team is always a headache...

Liu Yifei did not rush to fight, but instead lurked his army outside the mine and tried to lure the enemy out bit by bit.

With nine spirit-level servants here, Liu Yifei had enough capital to conduct experiments.

Facing spirit-level enemies, even if they can't defeat them with a strong attack, the lazy ones will always have no problem and escape is not a big problem. If the enemy can be deceived and led to the periphery of the mine... then it won't be a big problem!

Unfortunately, it turned out that Liu Yifei's idea was a little too naive.

Not to mention attracting the vampire army to follow them outside the mine, they didn't even reach the people halfway, and they all retreated after chasing them for less than a hundred meters in a straight line.

Seeing that the enemy seemed to be unable to pursue him from far away, Liu Yifei made a real move this time, letting the crossbowmen come in first, trying to take advantage of the long-distance attack and retreat in time to wear down the enemy bit by bit...

Even if the remnants of the arrows cannot last for long, they can at least effectively destroy the enemy!

When the number of vampires is overwhelming, there is no need to worry about the hit rate. Anyway, you will definitely get something with one arrow!

However, Liu Yifei's plan failed again!

The enemy seems to be very aware of the power of the crossbowmen. The four thousand crossbowmen have just entered, and a thousand of them have entered, and the team is arranged at the very edge of the enemy's stronghold space. However, before they even enter the battle preparation state, the enemy launches an attack.

A sudden surprise attack!

When there was a scream from the stronghold and countless vampires flew out like scarlet clouds, Liu Yifei was almost scared to death!

He didn't expect that the enemy would pay attention to his movements from such a distance, and he didn't expect that the enemy would be so decisive and not even give him a chance!

And the timing of the opponent's attack is also extremely accurate!

The formation has not yet been deployed, and our own army is blocking the way back. We can't rush forward and can't retreat, but we can't retreat...

This is simply the grave Liu Yifei dug for himself!

Fortunately, just in case, angels and spiritual servants were by his side, otherwise Liu Yifei would have really hit the wall this time~

After reacting, the entire front of Liu Yifei's regiment suddenly lit up with two completely opposite lights, holy white and dark.

Both angels and spiritual servants started to summon various summoned creatures like crazy. In short, they wanted to cool down all their skills!

At the same time, the army of crossbowmen began to retreat at full speed, but the thousand people who entered the cave earlier did not retreat for the time being. Instead, they began to counterattack on the spot. They all loaded the last arrow of the Holy Judgment, preparing to attack those vampire bats head-on!

When a vampire transforms into a vampire bat, it can further improve its agility and flight speed, and it can also avoid surrounding physical attacks with a high probability. Whether it is melee combat or long-range attack.

But this will also reduce their blood defense properties. Therefore, in the vampire bat state, the most feared thing is naturally the various AOE ultimate moves!

After the density of enemies reached a limit, thousands of Holy Judgment Lotuses instantly bloomed in the field! A blinding white light suddenly erupted in the entire mine!

There was a sudden shrill scream among the vampire bats, and all the vampires within the attack range of the Holy Lotus were severely damaged!

Compared with the corpse witch, the blood defense of the vampire itself is lower, and it is much lower. After transforming into a vampire bat, it slipped again. Just one hit by the vampire bat of the Holy Lotus almost ended his life. Unluckily, he was killed by two

In the next episode, the body that was purified on the spot during the attack was completely gone!

It’s just that there are too many enemies~

The light and shadow of the Holy Lotus was fleeting, and the next moment, more vampires were still screaming and rushing forward!

What greeted them was a large number of cannon fodder legions and the sharp arrows of crossbowmen!

After completing the summoning, all the angels and spiritual servants, including Liu Yifei himself, rode the bone dragon to the front line without fear!

The angels tried their best to radiate holy light and enveloped the entire battlefield, causing all the vampires to fiercely drain their blood, while the undead and summoned creatures from the heavens fought for their lives with the vampires!

Until then Liu Yifei discovered that he had made a second terrible mistake!

He shouldn't have summoned celestial beings like the Light Dog at all!

These guys are not very strong and there are many of them. They are simply a natural blood bank for vampires. It would be a good thing for vampires not to get rid of them!

In comparison, the "Heaven Patrol" that mid-level angels can already summon is excellent against the undead, especially vampire warriors!

Because these guys are set as constructed life forms enchanted by light, they have no blood, but they have extremely strong combat power and high agility. Their defense is also very high, and they are a natural nemesis for vampires!

Although the Heaven Patrol can only recruit one at a time, the effect of purely recruiting the Heaven Patrol is better~

Angels can use other attacks and auxiliary spells to control the situation.

However, Liu Yifei was panicking just now, and it was inevitable that he would make mistakes in his judgment when he panicked.

Sure enough~

Before he could instruct the angels to drive away those troublesome light dogs, blood creatures such as light spirits, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the vampire group, and then all the injured vampires quickly rushed towards the light dogs, and the follow-up

The vampires desperately ignored the surrounding cannon fodder and opponents' attacks, and just kept attacking the defense line in an attempt to surprise the crossbowmen who were planning to retreat!

This time it really cost my life!

And this is why Liu Yifei doesn't like fighting with troops led by heroes!

The intelligence of wild monsters is very low. If you find out the opponent's behavior patterns, you can design and eliminate them~

But having a spirit-level hero makes a big difference!

Once any flaws are revealed in battle, the enemy will not be lenient!

"No way! Everyone retreat! We can't hold on anymore!"

How could a defense line set up by hundreds of angels control the entire scene?

More vampires have broken through the defense line, and with their remaining blood, they started to pounce on the group of powerful crossbowmen in the rear, even ignoring the arrows fired head-on!

As the cannon fodder continued to die, Liu Yifei gradually felt more and more pressure, and the vampires even vaguely began to plan to surround the angel troops.

Compared with the crossbowmen, the Angel Corps is the main elite force that Liu Yifei cannot afford to lose. At this point, he has no choice but to withdraw~

There are as many as 20,000 to 30,000 vampires here, which cannot be easily solved by 400 angels.

As the main force gradually retreated, the vampires seemed to be in pursuit. They continued to advance slowly, constantly entangled and attacking angels and spiritual heroes, while still constantly breaking through the blockade to chase and kill those on the way.
To be continued...
