Chapter 386: Withdrawal into the Old City

Xia Hedao: "Baron Leon, after this matter is over, I will write a letter of recommendation to His Majesty."

Baron Leon was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.

"No, if you can save enough people, your Majesty will naturally receive rewards. I recommend your command and governance skills. I guess your Majesty will ask you to go to the academy for free to study."

Baron Leon was filled with tears. He just wanted to go to the nine colleges to study, but he was over. The college liked to train new people. If the nobles wanted to go, the cost would be too high, not something his family could afford.

Xia He drew a big pie, and Baron Leon was full of fighting spirit, and his orders were all strong and powerful.

Anyway, he can write the recommendation letter. If the emperor does not reward him, Baron Leon hates the emperor.

If the emperor thinks he is troublesome, it doesn’t matter to Xia He. As long as the emperor is not thinking about killing him, it will be useless to have more favorable feelings. As an emperor, not acting on his likes and dislikes is the most basic requirement.

Another soldier came up to make a message, and Baron Leon said, "Marquis, almost 10,000 people have been transferred."

"So fast?"

"Because before that, I had already implemented military control on them. It was still slow. I allowed them to bring some of their belongings into the old city. What ordinary people want to take off all the beds and take them over."

"If you can speed up, hurry up, I'm afraid I can't stop these undeads."

Xia He pointed to the distance, and the magical long-distance light shone for more than ten miles away. In the night, the earth was pressing down on the aura of death, condensed into clouds. Tens of thousands of undead spirits would not have such a terrible scene.

Baron Leon changed color and said, "There is nothing in the White Smoke City, is the undead crazy?"

"There are people in Baiyan City. This is the undead army that wants to grow as if it is snowballed. It will choose a place with weak strength but a large population. Even if the passage of the underworld is not blocked, it is probably not easy to enter and exit, so the undead must find a way."

"Yes." Baron Leon immediately ordered the people to retreat faster. Moreover, young and middle-aged people immediately had to go to the city wall to assist in defense. In fact, even ordinary people are not very good in their prime. Fortunately, people from the empire will have at least three months of war training, even civilians.

Generally, when they are sixteen years old, they are just adults and train for three months. When they are eighteen years old, they will train for another three months. When they are twenty-four years old, some aristocrats in some places will allow civilians to participate in military training for a year. Then, when they are thirty, there will be a half-year training period.

Therefore, the civilians in the empire would not be able to defeat the skeleton soldiers. They wore armor and gathered in a queue, and the low-level undead were just like that. If there were one or two professionals in the team, they could withstand the impact of ordinary undeads.

This is the case with the empire, and the consumption is relatively large. Of course, a large number of professional soldiers are selected like this. If you train at the age of thirty, you will not be able to train again before you become a professional.

The law of the empire, families are exempt from tax during the training period.

Letting civilians go up to the city wall to defend is not considered a death sentence. The young and strong man in the imperial country can also carry more than 100 kilograms of things, throw a stone and roll a wood, etc. can be done.

Among the civilians, there are archers, which have great lethality within 30 or 50 meters. The magic gun has a large recoil, so civilians cannot use it.

Xia He originally meant to create guns with a range of more than 100 meters so that civilians can also go to the battlefield.

However, the royal family did not seem to be interested in this, and the published drawings did not have a piece of equipment suitable for civilians.

Facing the dead, the civilians can only protect themselves. If the army cannot withstand, they may not even surrender. The armor and weapons are distributed on it, and the young and strong men are all lined up on the walls of the old city. For every ten men, one soldier comes to command.

In the distance, a small airship flew back, followed by a group of vampires.

The magic guns on the airship roared, and Abigail even placed ten magic guns in front of him, and took turns to operate with both hands, and shot when he was raised. The speed of fire of this thing is one shot every second, and it cannot be faster. With the ten magic weapons, the firepower density is not enough. When the vampire flies in the sky, his figure flashes, never goes straight, and it is difficult to aim.

However, Abigail would occasionally use a miniature magic gun to bombard it, and the hit vampire turned into coke, fell to the ground, and exploded a ball of dust.

When the airship fled back, the vampire did not dare to approach the city wall. On the top of the city, there were more than 300 soldiers holding magic guns. The dense firepower they had to dodge would be hit no matter how fast they flashed.

"How is it?" Xia He asked as he looked at Abigail who jumped out of the airship.

"The legendary undead was not found, but there were a large number of flying undeads. These vampires were only a small number, including giant bats, shadow banshees, etc."

Xia He sighed, there are too few human flight troops, and in this world, legends can fly by themselves.

In many worlds, great magicians can fly.

However, I am improving my magic and creating more general flying skills. If I match my equipment, it won’t take long for my subordinates to fly in the sky as long as they are masters.

The problem now is that if the Empire has developed a relatively cheap magic gun. If the magician dares to fly at a position below 400 meters, it will not be of much significance. Therefore, he has to improve the arrow drop talisman so that the bullets of the magic gun cannot easily threaten the magician.

Magic guns are relatively cheap because after the bullet is shot, they do not need to be corrected and rely on inertia to kill the enemy.

Once the tracking attribute is used, the effect of the arrow falling talisman will be reduced, but in that case, the cost of the magic gun will rise sharply and soldiers cannot afford to be equipped.

Therefore, constant archery dropping on magic belts or magic robes is also a good choice. This small spell is not even worth adding to equipment such as badges.

While Xia He was thinking, he also raised his magic gun to attack the undead in the distance.

He threw a shot casually, and the magic bullets were drawn in the air, attacking from top to bottom, with a range of up to two thousand meters. This magic gun is really a blessing for the strong and a nightmare for the weak.

A weak person, using this thing, is precise shooting of one or two white rice, and then he will be easily blocked by the enemy. Xia He is like this, and the precise attack is two thousand meters away, so the undead can only watch his companions fall down one by one.

Attack distance suppression, if the magic cannon is cheap, the undead will not have any threat to human cities.

Baron Leon admired him very much. In his opinion, such weapons control is only available to legendary powerhouses.

The undead had been in a stalemate for about two hours before the forwards began to rush towards the city wall. The undead army behind was boundless, and there was no blank area within the range covered by Xia He's spiritual consciousness.

"Retreat." Xia He was not ready to resist and asked Baron Leon's men to leave first, and he led the Iron Cavalry of Doom to break the rear.

Baron Leon refused, but asked his subordinates to retreat first. He followed Xia He. Xia He had no choice but to allocate two demon deer to him, so as not to accidentally kill the baron.

Baron Leon himself had no feelings because Xia He's people were always killing and killing the undead from outside. If they were close combat, the scene would be terrifying. I guess he would have escaped long ago.

Unilateral firepower suppression cannot experience the cruelty of war.

The undead climbed over the city wall with difficulty, and the city was empty. Sniffing the breath of flesh and blood, the undead swarmed towards the old city. In the sky, huge elemental fireballs fell and exploded, and a blank immediately appeared in the army of the undead.

Xia He immediately shouted with magic amplification method: "Don't use magic cannon!"

Before he finished speaking, a huge white object flew past the sky with afterimages, and he heard a violent explosion in the old city.

The enemy can actually fight back against the magic cannon!

Xia He vaguely saw that the white object was like a canoe carved with bones, with dozens of undead controls arranged on it and flew across the sky.

This is a thing that dies together, the undead fights against the magic cannon.

If you are next to the magic cannon, you can also stop this weapon. However, when the enemy charges, using magic cannons to bombard the enemy's dense areas at the earliest time is considered a regulation to use. The magic cannon attack has a relatively long cooldown time, which can increase the number of attacks.

Hearing the explosion, even if the magic cannon was not destroyed, it would definitely not be able to complete the next battle.

There is no alchemy factory in Baiyan City yet. Xia He can repair magic cannons by himself, but he relies on repairing magic liquid. This large-scale equipment is repaired with magic liquid? The price is much higher than the other one.

Xia He missed his epic magic cannon with a fast firing rate and easy control.

Unfortunately, it is now located in Storm Corner and has been decomposed and studied.

Xiahe used magic to cut off the rear, and the soldiers pulled into the old city area in turn and went up to the city wall to reorganize the defense line. The city wall in the old city was two meters higher than the outside and twelve meters high. In the area with a radius of nearly five hundred meters, there were old-fashioned stone houses. The earliest people in Baiyan City made a living by burning charcoal, and the houses were built with stones to avoid gains and fires.

These stone houses were later reinforced by magicians with magic, and the entire old city was like a fortress group.

In the center of the old city, there is a three-story building, which is the highest in the entire Baiyan City and covers the largest area. It was the earliest charcoal trading center, which was established by local nobles and had a bunker. Later, the northern nobles rebelled, and the bunker was expanded a lot, mainly to store grain or raw coal, and used natural underground holes, but there was no underground river and no way out. The entrance and exit were blocked, and they were just waiting to die.

The trees around the old city were cut down, and some undead climbed onto the roof and wanted to jump onto the city wall.

On the top of the city, the magic pillar supported by Xiahe lit up elemental light.

The undead, who was hit by the elemental blow, suddenly became heavy and fell from the air to the ground.
