Chapter 61 Move to the Hinterland Forest

Fierce artillery fire continued to fall on the city wall, blowing the orc zombies above into pieces.

Although Nanhai Town is comparable to a small city, its city walls are not very strong.

The relationship between the human kingdoms is pretty good and there will be no large-scale conflicts.

The walls of a small city like this certainly don't need to be repaired very well.

After only enduring a few rounds of artillery fire, a large section of the city wall cracked and collapsed.

The city wall was blown down by artillery fire, and the undead creatures entrenched in the city were unable to restrain themselves and poured out of the gap one after another.

The undead creatures that rushed out were very chaotic, with zombies and skeletons of multiple races mixed together.

The skeletons among the undead creatures were dug up by the Death Knight from the cemetery in Nanhai Town.

The skeleton looks weak and weak, as if it could be smashed to pieces with a wooden stick.

Unless the shell explodes right next to them.

However, with sufficient firepower coverage, many people were killed and maimed.

This is a very important transportation hub.

Under normal circumstances, a few hundred troops would be enough to blockade the bridge and hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Wildhammer dwarf heavy infantry are short in stature, so their shields are not much larger.

Herard showed no interest in the ensuing battle.

The large round shield, about one meter in diameter, is entirely made of fine steel.

When the undead army approached more than two hundred meters, the human musketeers began to shoot at them.

After a preliminary search, the coalition scouts discovered that the orc troops were heading east.

Facing the Wildhammer dwarves, the strongest overlord in the region, they could not mount an effective counterattack even with the help of the orcs.

Otherwise, they cannot be eliminated at all!

And they are all low-level cannon fodder like skeletons and zombies.

This kind of shield is so big and heavy that it can almost completely block the body.

As long as their legs are not blown off, they will get back up soon.

However, the tribe mobilized in large numbers at night, sending troll thieves to attack the unsuspecting bridge defenders.

Moreover, the armor of the Wildhammer dwarves is thicker.

Just the combination of heavy infantry and musketeers can handle these useless undead creatures.

Although skeletons are much weaker than zombies, they are more effective against artillery and muskets!

There are many gaps on the frame, allowing most shrapnel and bullets to pass through.

The Wildhammer dwarves have been in the Hinterlands forests for more than two hundred years, and have been perfectly suppressing the forest trolls.

A chain of mountains formed by mountains five to six thousand meters high separates the Hinterland Forest and Hillsbrad Foothills.

Looking at the chaotic rush of zombies and skeletons, the artillerymen suppressed them with artillery fire.

Farmers holding farm tools such as hoes will definitely not be able to defeat these skeletons.

It is relatively easy to clean up the undead that have been crippled by long-range attacks.

The dense bullets were fired at the undead army, shooting the zombies into sieves and knocking them to the ground.

The zombies first experienced the devastation of artillery fire, and then were washed away by the rain of bullets.

However, being able to shoot down the red dragon was mainly due to the contribution of his mount Skyre.

Although they are much shorter in stature, they are much heavier than human heavy infantry.

When orcs and forest trolls come together, their strength will increase a lot.

After dealing with this small-scale undead natural disaster, coalition scouts searched everywhere for traces of orc troops.

Their bones have been strengthened by the power of death, and ordinary wooden sticks will definitely not be able to break them apart.

Hillsbrad is divided into east and west parts by a wide river.

This makes them immune to at least 80% of attacks.

The gryphon is the undisputed master of the air!

And even if they are broken up, they can be quickly reorganized.

They stood up from the ground tremblingly and continued to advance towards the coalition's position.

But this is only a superficial phenomenon.

The coalition forces, led by the Wildhammer dwarf heavy infantry, headed for the hidden path.

Its powerful talons can easily tear off dragon scales.

Scarree is slightly larger than a normal gryphon.

Cannonballs fell into the undead army one after another, blowing them to pieces.

Under the leadership of the forest troll, a local snake, the orcs successfully passed this path.

The traffic between the east and west is completed by a bridge more than 200 meters long.

Falstad, who felt bad, returned to the main city with the gryphon knight in a hurry.

But this cannot change their fate.

However, undead creatures are different from living people in that they are not easily destroyed by artillery fire.

When the orcs entered this no-man's land, did they want to take revenge on the gryphon?

Or do you want to attack Thoradin's Wall further east?

It's all worth it to do your best to eliminate the undead army before it gets close to them!

After being baptized by artillery fire and hail of bullets, the battered and scarred undead army silently collided against the shields of the human and Wildhammer dwarf heavy infantry.

The red dragon was shot down by him.

The shield used by human heavy infantry is a rectangular thick iron tower shield.

Whether seeking revenge from the gryphon or attacking Thoradin's Wall, it is meaningless.

The selection criteria for human heavy infantry are very strict, and they are all tall and strong men.

The gryphon knights left behind are all elite, and the anti-aircraft cannon can easily damage the red dragon.

Those weak skeletons are even more exaggerated!

These speculations are not very reasonable.

Therefore, no herders dare to graze and settle in the eastern part of the hills.

This path can pass through a group of mountains, and the terrain itself is very complex.

They would knock the undead creatures down with their large bucklers, and then use their war hammers to smash the undead creatures to pieces.

A dead man doesn't care how many holes he has in his body.

No one would consider this a waste of ammunition.

The eastern area of ​​Hillsbrad Foothills has always been an uninhabited area because griffons from the Northern Hinterland Forest often visit it.

They had just been picked up by the death knight for a few days, and the death energy had not strengthened them much.

It is so easy for them to deal with ordinary soldiers!

The battle ended almost instantly, without any message for help being sent.

The coalition forces stationed hundreds of bridge-guarding troops here.

Troll thieves are also excellent assassins.

Kurdran Wildhammer is the most powerful gryphon knight of the Wildhammer clan.

Forest trolls can only hide in the forest and occasionally come out to harass the Wildhammer dwarves.

The red dragon troops, who arrived at the main city of the Wildhammer dwarves first, did not take any advantage against the gryphon knights and the recently acquired anti-aircraft guns who stayed behind.

In addition, the trees growing on the mountain cover it, turning it into a maze-like passage.

When the coalition forces came here, they saw obvious traces of the passage of the army.

Although it is smaller than the tower shield, it is much heavier than the tower shield.

They can easily carry a tower shield weighing forty or fifty kilograms.

Without professional guidance, people will get confused when entering and cannot find their way.

These Wildhammer dwarf heavy infantry gradually moved forward in front, actively hunting undead creatures.

They knew very well that the secret path leading to the Hinterlands forest was in the mountains in the north.
To be continued...
