Tauren Overlord

DeGale went on to explain:

"I know them. The enemy's golden dragons will not act immediately."

"As a guest army, the Golden Dragon Queen will definitely obey the command of Queen Cat-Eared Via, and that queen likes to save her trump cards until the most critical moment."

Speaking of this, Degar was even a little dazed.

He also thought, what would happen if he still stood on the side of the Sea Alliance and accepted the assistance of the Centaurs and the Golden Dragons?

I believe that the upright allies within the alliance will also do their best to assist him.

But this thought was fleeting. He had already made his choice, and whether or not it was the right choice, he had no choice but to continue gambling.

"She will definitely wait until other reinforcements try to relieve us before launching her heaviest bombardment on us."

"Even if we don't lose most of our colonists or necromancers, we will still be in great chaos."

"Once they succeed in clearing the siege, we will be the ones in the passive position."

Although the Empire and the Undead appeared to have left a gap in the north for Cat-Eared Glade, it was of course just a pretense.

They also deployed a number of demon colonists and necromancers far to the north.

This can disperse these important units and prevent them from being quickly wiped out by rune bombs falling from the sky;

On the other hand, they could detect whether the enemy in the south had really escaped, so that they could kill them halfway;

But its most crucial role is to monitor whether the reinforcements from the Sea Alliance in the north have arrived.

For the time being, the reconnaissance troops deployed in the north have not found any signs of reinforcements.

But the possibility of reinforcements arriving was like a sword hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time and pierce their brains.

Since Degar is not a friend of time, his strategy is not to slowly besiege the city:

"Before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, we must attack their walls at all costs and force them to use rune bombs."

Selron seemed to be convinced, and he immediately nodded in agreement:

"Okay, then you and the goblins on our side will lead the charge!"

Serlon had wanted the goblins to die a long time ago.

In his opinion, the one who is most loyal to the Imperial God-Emperor is of course a great devil like him, not anyone else.

It would be a great insult if even lowly goblins came with him to prove their loyalty to the God-Emperor!

So he happily placed the goblins on the south side of the city wall so that the goblin cannon fodder could deplete the defenders' strength.

Once all the goblins are dead, maybe their bodies will be enough to fill up a small section of the moat.

This will undoubtedly bring more convenience to the demon army's subsequent siege operations.

And Degar also attacked at the same time, which would cause a large loss of the future enemy - the undead army in front of them.

Ah, this is really a double blessing.

When he thought of this happy thing, he drank the beautiful blood in the cup, and said to Degar with a feeling of unsatisfied emotion:

"Pleasant to work with."

Degar also spoke similar words of blessing with a pleasant expression.

He knew that he was at a greater disadvantage, but he also knew that his own strength was only comparable to that of Selron, far weaker than that of the entire empire.

This forced him to compromise in many situations.

With some deep-buried resentment, the vampire king suddenly entered an elegant palace.

Degar, who had seen countless storms, quickly understood that this was an illusion created by Lu Heng.

As Lu Heng appeared, Degar also restrained his edge and asked politely:

"My dear ally, do you have any new suggestions?"

Lu Heng did not add any clauses, but said the same thing:

"Don't attack the goblins, it will be good for you."

Degar was about to say, "I have been following your advice, but it is a pity that they are about to die."

But he quickly figured out intelligently that this was not something he should worry about, so he respectfully complied with a "OK."

……

As Selron issued the order for a general attack to the goblins, the goblins also began to act under the unified coordination and command of Goblin.

When these goblins first set out, there were actually more than 30,000 of them.

With the Goblin King being killed, some goblins chose to flee, and were then captured by the Empire's Selron Legion and Degar's Undead Army.

The remaining 20,000 people are still a large army, and the most important thing is that all kinds of impurities have been eliminated.

Some of the pagans who fled were killed by demons and ghosts, and now they are all believers of the Minotaur Cult.

As for military capabilities...although the goblins are short in stature, this main combat force still carries a lot of war weapons.

For example, the goblins’ favorite chariots, crossbows, and catapults.

Because their trebuchets were too large for the goblins' size, they had to be folded and placed on carts for transportation.

I guess the guy who gets hit by this kind of catapult won't feel good either.

Gob Gaolin and his followers had just finished their final prayers, but many of the goblins who had just converted to the Minotaur Cult were still muttering:

"Great Minotaur Overlord, please show us mercy!"

Goblins are greedy, but they are not stupid.

They were well aware that the Empire and the vampires were sending them on suicide charge missions.

Cat-Eared Glad was not easy to attack either. If they wanted to attack the city wall, they had to cross a moat with an average width of more than 60 meters.

If they didn't want to drown in the moat, which had an average depth of six meters, they had to build a floating bridge.

But the defenders on the outer walls of Cat-Eared Glade will not be watching their work happily.

The city's outer wall was 12 meters high, and the defenders on the wall could have dealt a heavy blow to the attackers who were trying to cross the river.

Bows, crossbows, catapults, whatever you have, use them.

The dwarven legions stationed on the inner bank of the moat would also slaughter them if they tried to cross the river.

Even if these goblins paid a terrible sacrifice and finally broke through the moat, the dwarf warriors who had killed them until their hands were tired could also retreat back to the city wall.

That’s a twelve-meter-high city wall. It’s difficult for the goblins who just crossed the river to carry much siege equipment.

Unless they could count on the catapults behind them to perform beyond their capacity and create a big enough hole in the city wall, they could only wait to die under the city wall.

Not to mention that there is a 24-meter-high inner wall behind the outer wall.

Even if the surviving goblins did cross the outer city wall, they would still die.

So they knew very well that it was impossible for them to capture Cat-Eared Glade alive.

So how about not attacking?

No, they were deployed on the south side of the city wall, with the Selron Legion behind them as the supervisory team.

Even if they break out to the west or east, it is impossible because there are the Imperial Army to the west and the Undead Legion guarding the east.

It's death anyway, and only the legendary Minotaur God can save them from this inevitable death!

Finally, Goblin heard the latest instructions from Lu Heng in the illusion:

"You shall go straight to the river of Cat-Eared Glad and pass through the gate I have made. Do not hesitate."

Goblin led the goblins to the river and found that there was indeed an extremely wide door there.

He actually walked in and reappeared to the north of Cat-Eared Glade.

Under the organization of the cardinals, other goblins also rushed towards Lu Heng's portal.

For a moment, the demons acting as supervisors were stunned.

Selron has issued orders that any goblins that retreat or stagnate should be sacrificed or executed directly.

But it doesn’t say what to do if they suddenly disappear when they reach the river?

They are down right where they are!

Meanwhile, Selron is working on his next steps.

He didn't think there would be any changes in the goblins' undoubted suicidal charge.

By the time his subordinates realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

297. Two Prisoners

Lu Heng changed the entire situation of the battle.

According to Selron's original plan, the goblins and the undead army would attack the east and south of Cat-Eared Glade at the same time.

The weaker Marines were responsible for the siege on the west side.

But the goblins were teleported to the north of the city wall, and they were apparently out of Selron's control.

This completely disrupted the deployment of the great demon, and his plan to make it difficult for the defenders to focus on both directions completely failed.

More importantly, since the goblins no longer participated in the battle, the Undead Army's attack in the east immediately became an isolated battle.

Vampire King Degal was no fool, he knew that attacking alone would only make his forces, which were already weaker than the Empire's, even weaker.

Although the Empire-Undead Alliance has a strength of 500,000 troops, it is fully capable of storming the city.

But how much damage will there be after the storm?

If a large number of elite troops are lost, will there be enough strength to defeat the nearby "friendly forces"?

It's not even a question of whether Degal wants to eat the other person, and he can't be sure that the other person doesn't want to eat him.

The same is true for Selron.

He knew very well that his empire's elite troops were good material for making undead troops.

At this moment they were like two prisoners.

Whoever betrays the other more, or contributes less effort in the siege, the greater their subsequent advantage.

The probability of eating the other party, or at least not being eaten by the other party, will also be greater.

Relatively speaking, Degar is at a greater disadvantage.

Aside from his only ally, the Tauren Overlord, he has powerful enemies everywhere in the world.

Before his undead army expanded significantly, he could neither fight against the entire empire nor the remaining eleven member states of the Sea Alliance.

Selron has the Imperial Navy fighting with him...

If Degar tried his best to attack the city at this time, it would be a suicidal act.

But he didn't want to be accused of disobeying orders, so he did choose to attack the city - but using cheaper supplies.

So he ordered his necromancers to control more than 200 "big corpse balls" and roll them towards the moat in the east.

This "big corpse ball" is made up of various corpses seized along the way, and is a literal stitched monster.

They are so hideous that they have a more telling name: "The Great Abomination".

Unlike ordinary zombies, these large undead creatures are often not very strong but are durable enough to act as meat shields. Each of them can "grow" to more than 9 meters in height.

The reason why it was built so big was largely because Degar was also one of the leaders of the Sea Alliance, and he also visited Cat-Eared Glade.

This allowed him to lead the way for the empire and participate in sieges, allowing him to send out troops "tailor-made" for the city.

The normal attacks of the Cat-Eared Glade defenders might be able to penetrate the stitched flesh, but it would be difficult to penetrate its thick fat core.
