Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 119: Divide and Converge Attack (1)
I'm not the only one who's interested. Other necromancers who know the truth also attach great importance to this lost artifact and want to get it. It is said that Qingwu Feiyang, Tianxing, Qiu Shui Changtian, Ye Zhi Bonfire and others have mobilized all kinds of connections to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of "Death Control". There are many powerful competitors. It seems that even if "Death Control" really appears, I may not be able to get it as I wish with my current connections and financial resources.
However, in the following days, there was no news about "Death Control" in Tianxia, and no player wanted to sell the artifact in the open or secret trading market. Even the Church of Light, which always likes to show off, only announced that they decisively attacked and completely crushed an ambush operation against them by the "Resistance Alliance", severely frustrated the "Resistance Alliance" and successfully rebuilt the Southern Continent Prairie City Cathedral that was recently destroyed by a sneak attack. They did not release or hint that they had achieved the "glorious victory" of seizing a dark professional artifact. I was quite confused. I didn't know what was going on. Who did "Death Control" fall into the hands of? Was it an NPC or a light professional player? Why didn't both sides make any moves?
After two days of tension, I estimated that it would be difficult to get any results , so I entrusted the task of finding the whereabouts of "Death Control" to Afeng and Yun Wuying. I entered the "Dead Space" again and focused on the preliminary preparations for the raid on the Fourth Witch King Gravison and the Blood Lich Douglas - the Bat Demon Tika sent a message that there were signs of large-scale mobilization of their subordinates, and it is very likely that a meeting will take place in the next few days.
Because there is fierce competition between the Corpse Witches and Blood Witches, there are not only many powerful people who covet their power, but even other royal families of the same level are quite dissatisfied with their collusion and collusion. The relationship can be said to be very tense. Once they leave their respective nests with strict guards, they are easily attacked by other forces with ulterior motives. In order to ensure safety, according to past practice, Graveson and Douglas both brought elite guards with them when they held meetings. Graveson brought about a thousand Corpse Witch Kings and a hundred thousand Corpse Witches , and Douglas brought a thousand elite Blood Witches and a thousand ordinary Blood Witches, which was enough to deter other forces. Unless they were prepared to risk the risk of suffering "heavenly punishment" and tearing their faces apart to launch a full-scale war, they generally did not dare to act rashly.
What I have to deal with is not just the guards of Graveson and Douglas. The place where they meet is in the territory of the corpse witches. My invasion will inevitably be constantly blocked by the corpse witch army along the way. If I want to face Graveson and Douglas directly, I must break through the heavy interception of the corpse witches outside. If the attacking force cannot advance quickly and delays too much time in the middle, once Graveson and Douglas get the news, they will probably end the meeting and quickly withdraw to their lair. At that time, I can only attack one way at most, and I can't realize the planned plan.
This requires that the main attacking team must have strong strength and high mobility. Among the undead races that the necromancer can conquer at this stage, the most suitable one is the horror knight. I guess this is also an important reason why the bat demon Tika proposed to cooperate with me - I led more than a thousand horror knights to meet him, which was absolutely unique in Tianxia at that time, and it was enough to prove that I had the potential to challenge Graveson and Douglas.
I mobilized all my Terror Knights and formed a Terror Knight Corps of 20,000 people, mainly Terror Giant Bear Knights, mixed with more than 2,000 Terror Tiger and Mad Lion Knights, as the main force of the battle. At the same time, more than 600 Terror Bull Knights and more than 50 Terror Ground Dragon Knights served as my Guard Corps, quickly breaking through the enemy's interception, tearing open the gap and approaching Graveson and Douglas. And Shaman, Wu Ma, Tao Tao, the Blood Bat couple, Xiao Bai, Flying Fire Ghost and other capable subordinates will also go to the battle and participate in the direct siege of Graveson and Douglas, using the majority to defeat the minority, strive for a quick victory, and not give them too many opportunities to counterattack, especially Douglas, who is too strong. If he is not careful, he may pose a fatal danger to Wu Ma and others.
In one battle, I was fighting against the leaders of two major undead races at the same time. One side had a large number of people and the other side had elite soldiers and generals. When they were combined, the power they could exert was definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. In addition, the rules and constraints between different races made the powerful vampire bats and bat demons like Dika so cautious that they had to rely on me, an "alien", to provoke a large-scale battle that they were not capable of launching. This would also be the largest "undead war" I had launched in the "dead space" so far, and it would also be a severe test for me. Success would certainly bring rich benefits, but if I failed, the ending would probably be extremely miserable - the death of me or my pet would result in the loss of the upper limit of my mental power, and the loss of Wu Ma, Hader and other capable subordinates and a large number of horror knights would seriously weaken my power in the "dead space", and I would not be able to obtain the right to move freely in the territory of the corpse witch, and the plan to enter the "bottomless abyss" to soak in the "extreme yin water" to remove the seal of the "dead scepter" would also fail, and the series of negative effects brought about were immeasurable.
If I could surround the meeting place of Graveson and Douglas, with my current strength, I would definitely be able to wipe them out along with the guards. Unfortunately, I didn't have such an opportunity. In order to ensure that they didn't escape, I had to divide the 20,000-strong Terror Knights into three groups and adopt a combination tactic. I had 5,000 troops on each wing to block their respective retreat routes, and I assembled 10,000 troops in the middle, led by me personally, to take the main attack. If it weren't for the accurate intelligence provided by the Bat Demon Tika, and the detailed terrain around the meeting place, it would be difficult to make such a detailed arrangement. Even so, it was difficult to predict success or failure. Once the battle began, the situation on the battlefield would change rapidly. Facing such a large-scale battle, I was unable to split myself and had limited energy. I could only conduct remote command. It was inevitable that there would be omissions in observation or judgment, and I would not be able to respond correctly in time to the specific situation. Maybe I would miss the opportunity to fight. It might be easier to defeat the opponent. I didn't have the confidence to kill Graveson and Douglas in one fell swoop.
