As mentioned before, the Demons' engineering team was divided into two teams, each with 5,000 soldiers. The 5,000 soldiers on the south bank had been completely annihilated by the undead. What about the 5,000 soldiers on the north bank? They were now on their way back.
That's right, this team actually returned to the main city. They didn't stay to watch the movements of the undead army. After sending people to search yesterday, they also learned that the southern army had been wiped out by the undead army. Of course, there weren't many undead troops left on the other side. After knowing this situation, the engineering team here didn't plan to monitor the undead army because they had received a more important order, and that was to return to the main city to receive a hero's welcome.
This was also part of the Demons' publicity plan. They suddenly received such a great victory in such a bad situation. In order to encourage the confidence of the people, the palace naturally prepared to vigorously publicize the victory. Of course, the best way to publicize it was to use this group of heroes who defeated the undead army.
Therefore, the engineering team here also received orders from Bayzera to immediately return to the main city. It just so happened that they also harvested a lot of undead heads, which were the heads of the undead soldiers on the north bank who crossed the river. Of course, bringing them back together was the best publicity ceremony.
As for the remaining undead army on the other side of the river? They weren't very worried because it was impossible for the undead army to cross the river. They naturally knew how difficult the Haigalo River was. Even during the dry season, it was very dangerous to cross it by boat, not to mention the current situation. The river was flooded, and it was impossible to sail. Besides, where did the undead get their boats? They were all washed away. If they could cross the river, they would have to fly.
What everyone didn't expect was that the Undead pair was still flying.
"Ah — —" A few screams sounded. A large group of undead soldiers fell on the bridge on the north bank like scattered nails. Just listening to the sound of falling made the undead soldiers who were waiting in line on the other side a little numb. All kinds of screams also sounded on the bridge on the other side. But what made them feel strange was that the soldiers lying on the ground only screamed for a while. After a while, they stood up one by one, as if nothing had happened.
"Ah … I'm really fine. I feel good. Although it hurt a little when I fell on the ground, I'll be fine soon," a soldier said.
"Hey, come here Ager, it's fine. It's just a little pain." The undead soldiers on this side were still shouting to the soldiers on the other side.
Although the scene looked very scary, it was actually very safe. Li Huailin's aura now covered a radius of 240 yards, and the entire bridge wasn't that big. So as long as the undead soldiers fell on the bridge, they would immediately recover and would immediately be back to their lively state within 20 seconds.
This was referring to the soldiers who fell on the bridge. Of course, there were also soldiers who didn't fall on the bridge. Indeed. This was true. The catapult was not an accurate missile weapon. Although it was thrown in the general direction, there were still, there. If the catapult was thrown in the wrong direction, the undead soldier would suffer. The undead soldier would fall directly into the river below. Sure enough, the undead would immediately be washed away. It was unknown if they would ever return.
Even so, not many undead soldiers fell. This was all thanks to Matthew's superb siege techniques. Although the catapults were improvised, their quality was still very high. At the very least, their accuracy was decent. After some slight adjustments, most of the undead soldiers could fall on the bridge. As for the remaining few, they could only blame their bad luck.
Of course, in the game's era, the lives of the undead were relatively worthless. Although several hundred people had fallen, even the soldiers themselves didn't think much of it. As a result, more people died in battle. This was only a normal consumption. Hence, no one raised any objections. After all, more people successfully crossed the bridge. This proved that this was a feasible method. On the contrary, everyone admired Li Huailin's genius version of crossing the river strategy.
According to the current statistics, the undead army had about 38000 people. 4000 of them were the original army, and 34000 were the reinforcements that arrived last night. The catapults on this side could transport about 10 people at a time. Each catapult had 12 catapults, which meant that 120 people could be transported at a time. The interval between each catapult was one minute, which meant that it would take more than 5 hours to transport all the people here. As a blood replenishing bag, Li Huailin actually had to wait here for 5 hours.
However, when more troops arrived, the north bank would have more people. They could also start to take other measures. For example, they could use ropes to build a few passages across the bridge. Although it was still quite troublesome for the undead to cross, they could still transport supplies from the bridge. Another example was to build a protective net. This way, the chances of the undead soldiers falling into the river would be slightly lower. In short, as the number of people on the north bank increased, the work was progressing more smoothly.
However, as a blood replenishing bag, Li Huailin was necessary. Since he couldn't leave, he could use this time to communicate with the lords on this side.
"As of noon today, the number of troops that have returned is about 4000. We have lost at least 36000 troops in this battle, and we haven't found any traces of Lord Dennis yet." Soudeis was still reporting the situation to Li Huailin. "With the 34000 reinforcements that Lord Sulfur brought, we now have 38000 troops. It's not very advantageous for us to attack."
"The humans should also have around 60,000 troops. Including our troops, we have around 100,000 people. I heard that the Demons also have 100,000 people, so we are evenly matched. However, the walls of the Demons' main city are very strong. It's easy to defend, but difficult to attack. It's going to be very difficult for us to take it down," Maxim said.
"Of course, that's only under normal circumstances. With Your Highness, we can take down any city," Matthew immediately said. "Isn't that right, Your Highness?"
"I'm not very worried about the siege." Li Huailin said. Matthew was right. With the help of the Godly Sword, it shouldn't be a problem to take down the Demons' main city, but the problem was …
"Your Highness, what are you worried about?" Matthew asked.
"An organization called the Guardians of the Godly Sword seems to have their eyes on me recently," Li Huailin said.
"Guardians of the Godly Sword?" The few people on this side looked at each other. They had never heard of this organization.
Li Huailin briefly explained the organization of the Guardians of the Godly Sword and their mission to them.
"So that's how it is. Their goal is to stop the Godly Sword from being born. If they hear that Your Highness is using the Godly Sword, they will definitely come to retrieve it." Matthew nodded. "But Your Highness, with the power of the Godly Sword, you don't have to be afraid of them."
"Just in case. After all, they are the guardians of the Godly Sword. Maybe they know a way to seal the Godly Sword," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "Anyway, I will reduce the number of times I appear here in the near future. You guys better pay attention and don't let the previous situation happen again. Otherwise, even I will be too ashamed to face others."
"Yes, Your Highness," the few feudal lords immediately replied with their heads bowed.
"Your Highness, I have a plan," Matthew suddenly said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly surprised. "What plan?"
"We might be able to lure the Demons over to fight us and eliminate them outside the city," Matthew said.
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly curious. "Really? That sounds good. Let's hear it."
"Actually, it's not very complicated. In fact, our current position is already very dangerous. As long as we spread the news that we have crossed the river, maybe the Demons here will choose to fight us outside the city. After all, our army is relatively small, and we have no way to retreat. However, there is a problem …" Matthew said.
"The problem is me." Li Huailin smiled. He also understood Matthew's plan. "Previously, I led an army of 1,000 people to defeat an army of 70,000 Demons. So, even if we are fighting with our backs to the wall, the Demons will not easily leave the city to attack us."
"Yes, Your Highness," Matthew said.
"Is there any way?" Li Huailin asked.
"As long as they know that Your Highness is not in our camp right now, it will be fine. They don't know that Your Highness has the ability to teleport. If Your Highness suddenly appears at this time, I think it will be a devastating blow to the Demons," Matthew said. This was because Li Huailin's necklace's teleportation ability had been shown many times, so everyone knew about it. However, the Demons did not know about it, because those who had seen it were now dead.
"Not in the camp?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. "That means … I have to appear in other public places. This seems to be more troublesome. Moreover, even if I appear on other occasions and the demons launch an attack, my side won't know that you've already been attacked. If I don't appear in time, perhaps the fake show will become real and we'll be wiped out. "
"This … is just a preliminary idea," Matthew said. "I don't know if it will work."
"Well, I will do some research to see if there is a way to solve this problem," Li Huailin said after thinking for a moment.
