Chapter 392: The Sorrow of the Lich King
While everyone was scolding, the old mage still kept a clear mind. He knew that this had happened and that scolding would not help, so he interrupted everyone and asked: "Your Majesty, who will lead the other party?" Team?"
"Lich King, sorrow!" The emperor frowned and said: "The most annoying opponent!"
"Ah!" When they heard that the undead army was commanded by him, everyone present couldn't help but gasped, obviously they were very worried about him.
In fact, it is no wonder that they are so afraid. The sad name of the Lich King is too loud. He has the most glorious record among those who have surrendered to the enemy in the past. He even tricked the Pope to death and stole an artifact. So when it comes to him, almost no one knows about him, even Lao Xie has heard about it. Although his strength is only at the bottom among the Seven Lords of the Undead, this guy's intelligence and viciousness are the best among them all. Generally speaking, when the undead natural disaster is launched, other undead monarchs will decide whether to come or not depending on the situation. Under normal circumstances, the undead monarchs prefer to study their various magical knowledge. They will only come when they lack special materials. Participate in the Scourge of the Undead to get what you need on the continent. But the Lich King is not like this. He participates in almost every undead natural disaster. Even if there is no one else to help, he will launch it once without any trouble. It’s almost as if they are incompatible with human beings!
Legend has it that this guy was originally a priest of light in the Empire of Light, and he was also a nobleman with family affairs. He was also a genius himself. With some elven blood, he may have inherited some magical talents from the elves, so that he was practicing When it comes to light spells, he has progressed extremely quickly. He has become a high-level priest at a young age. In terms of talent alone, he is slightly worse than Catherine. Much better than the Third Prince.
It is a pity that this guy was stimulated when he was young. A little noble lady he fell in love with was secretly persecuted to death by his teacher. You know, anyone who can be a noble genius teacher is naturally a high-ranking member of the Bright Empire, and the sad teacher is a cardinal. Although this guy is very good, he is too dirty at heart. He always likes to abuse nuns, and the people who are being abused can't afford to offend him. But often I can only endure it silently, but this time I fell in love with a sad woman, and accidentally toyed with her to death.
When Sadness found out, he was naturally extremely angry, and could even be said to be heartbroken. Unfortunately, he knew that he had no ability to treat his teacher, so he made up his mind to rebel. While pretending that this didn't happen, he worked hard to refine his spells.
Decades later, his teacher became the Pope. The Lich King Sorrow also became a cardinal, and he thought he was a disciple and became the Pope's confidant.
However, when a natural disaster of the undead occurred, Sadness resolutely surrendered to the enemy during the decisive battle, and not only took away the artifact, the First Generation Cult Crown. He also joined forces with the Lich King on the opposite side to kill the Pope alive.
You know, before the Melancholy Rebellion, the Empire of Light had two artifacts in hand. Fighting off the undead scourge is easy. The super artifact "Apocalypse" in the hands of the Pope can easily make legendary masters cry for father and mother, but the first-generation religious crown can provide massive amounts of light magic, allowing the Pope to easily bless tens of thousands of troops with light spells. In the artifact The power of this blessing released with the assistance is very terrifying. It can not only directly increase the combat effectiveness of the warrior by half, but also double the combat effectiveness against the undead. Moreover, because the first-generation religious crown still has the pure breath of God, all those who are blessed will die even if . Nor will they be turned into undead.
Under such circumstances, the Empire of Light could easily repel the undead army in decisive battles almost every time, and not many people died at all. There is basically no need for help from other countries.
But ever since the Melancholy Rebellion brought the crown of the first generation to the undead, life in the Empire of Light began to become difficult. In that incident alone, more than 10 million people died, accounting for a full One-fifth of the population of the Empire of Light. This is why the name of the Undead Scourge came from this.
Later. The idiots of the Bright Empire simply lost the Book of Revelation, and as a result, it became more difficult to resist the attack of the undead natural disaster. Millions of people were lost almost every time. In desperation, they had to build three lines of defense. The first coastal defense line was stationed with more than 200,000 people, and six sacred masters were stationed all year round. Once a natural disaster of the undead occurs, they will try their best to stop it and buy time for the people behind to retreat.
There is a distance of hundreds of miles between the second line of defense and the first line of defense. During this period, there are millions of people, most of whom are mainly engaged in farming and manufacturing defensive equipment. Their purpose is to support the army of the first line of defense as much as possible. .
The first line of defense usually lasts for about a month. During this period, those people can withdraw to the second line of defense, and then the 200,000 people can also withdraw, and join the tens of thousands of people on the second line of defense, and they can Resist for a while. Generally speaking, when the undead natural disaster hits the second line of defense, reinforcements from the two countries closer to the Empire of Light will also arrive.
In most cases, the final decisive battle will take place on the second line of defense. As long as everyone can hold on until the other two armies of orcs and dwarves arrive here with the assistance of the Griffin Kingdom and Elf Kingdom armies, then You can counterattack directly. This is how most undead natural disasters were beaten back.
Of course, if the situation goes bad and you really can't withstand it, you need to retreat to the third line of defense. However, in this way, the Bright Empire will waste its people and money. But it has a population of tens of millions. Relocating them all would be time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, which is really not cost-effective. And the most important thing is that every time a pass is breached, the undead can use various corpses to quickly create an army. Therefore, the farther back the enemy retreats, the stronger the enemy will be, and the casualties of various countries will be greater. Therefore, generally speaking, there is no People are willing to let the undead and natural disasters break through the second line of defense.
Judging from the current situation, the Bright Empire's second line of defense cannot be defended no matter what. Because normally, the first line of defense has the most soldiers, more than 200,000, and the second line of defense has only tens of thousands. Once the first line of defense cannot be defended, those armies can withdraw to the second line of defense to hold on. As long as the commander's ability is not very poor, the losses will not be great, and most of the dead people have been cast with special light spells to prevent them from being turned into troops by the undead.
But this time, because a big spy defected to the enemy, not only did more than half of the defenders on the first line of defense suffer casualties, but the dead people were not dealt with in time, which was equivalent to sending a hundred thousand troops to the opponent at once. Coupled with the more than one million civilians who had not been evacuated, the number of undead troops suddenly reached a terrifying million. But there are only about 100,000 soldiers on the second line of defense. How can it be stopped?
You must know that although the Bright Empire can temporarily recruit a large number of peasants to join the war, which totals hundreds of thousands, the combat effectiveness of peasants is completely different from that of well-trained warriors. The most important thing is that when fighting the undead, it is most taboo to send cannon fodder. If there are too many farmers and there are not enough light mages to support them, they will only become the opponent's skeleton soldiers. Therefore, at this time, elite soldiers are the most important combat force. Not only can garbage troops not be sent, they must also be sent far away from the battlefield to avoid dragging down everyone.
Everyone present now knows the inside story, so they can all guess how bad the situation is. Almost everyone can guess that the second line of the Bright Empire is about to be destroyed. And once the second line of defense is lost in a short period of time, there will be tens of millions of ordinary people behind it. If they all turn into skeleton soldiers or zombie soldiers, then this battle will be too difficult to fight. Even if we fight back, it will eventually be defeated. It was definitely a miserable victory. At that time, it was not surprising that hundreds of thousands of troops sent by the Griffin Empire died. Such heavy casualties must be a serious loss to the Griffin Empire. You know, the total number of regular troops in the entire Griffin Empire is only 500,000!
But now that things have come to a point, the emperor can't help but feel distressed. Because he knew that no matter how great the losses were, he would still have to send troops, and it was absolutely impossible to stay out of it. If once the Light Empire is defeated by the undead and the undead army kills tens of millions of people in the Light Empire, their strength will expand to a point where the entire continent will be terrified. When the time comes, the undead will definitely attack, and the Griffin Empire will definitely be finished. The so-called lips are dead and teeth are cold, this is the truth.
So, from a certain level, the cardinal's surrender to the enemy not only harmed the Empire of Light, but also harmed the Griffin Empire. In normal natural disasters of the undead, the Griffin Empire would only lose a hundred thousand people at most. But now, even two hundred thousand people might not be able to stop it. No wonder the emperor, who always pays great attention to his appearance, couldn't help but cursed.
"Alas!" The emperor then sighed, and then helplessly ordered: "Wind Sword Saint Kaz, you should set off immediately with the Second Legion on the border! This trip is extremely urgent, and you must help at all costs They hold the second line of defense, otherwise, we will suffer big losses!”
"Yes!" Gale Sword Master Kaz knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to neglect at all. He immediately turned around and left.
