As there was noise all around during the siege, the charging undead on the battlefield did not hear the strange movements in the surrounding mountains. It just so happened that there was another wave of attacks, and most of the undead were deployed below the city walls. This time, the undead army had mobilized 70% of their forces and firmly surrounded three sides of the city walls. They focused on the areas where the human forces were the weakest, hoping to break through the walls through the suppression of their forces.
The undead leader of the attacking side was called Caster, a confidant of Augustine's faction and an official member of the council with the title of count. Caster felt that he could complete the mission of 'suppressing the rebels' with his eyes closed. After all, these 20,000 people made up almost half of Tasman's gathered forces. Including the summoned undead creatures, there were more than 100,000 troops. It would be a piece of cake for them to deal with the castle in front of them.
During the pursuit, Caster had completely figured out the enemy's background. Seeing that the other party had gone into hiding in Tellak Castle, he was so happy that he wanted to applaud them — because he knew very well that these humans had entered a dead end. In less than three days, the mission to annihilate the rebel army would naturally be completed!
"Lord Caster, the main attack on the west city wall has been broken through!"
The following message was sent over, causing the pale Count's lips to curl up a little. He waved his hand and said, "That's all these guys can do. Leave two reserve teams, and the rest of them will go forward! I want to see His Majesty's flag on the tower before nightfall. "
"Yes! My Lord! "
The large army that had been biding their time began to split into smaller groups, surging towards the damaged western city wall. Many of the catapults on the city wall had already been damaged due to the continuous battles, and the skeleton soldiers continuously successfully scaled the city wall, disrupting the defense of the defenders. The pressure on Kurka and the others' defense was reaching its limit.
At this point, there were only about 3,000 troops left by Caster's side. The accompanying mages and elites had almost all been pushed to the front line in this decisive attack. The necromancers' 'acidic poison arrows', 'toxic fog', and other spells instantly made the defense of the city wall even more difficult. The city wall was about to fall completely …
At this moment, Caster suddenly felt that the mountain in the distance seemed to be a little strange.
He had heard the muffled sound just now, but because he was at the front of the battlefield, he could not hear it clearly. Caster only thought it was thunder. But as time passed, there seemed to be some discordant noises coming from the wind. He looked into the distance and found that there seemed to be a few landslides on the surrounding mountains. The trees on the mountainside were shaking, and some even began to break and disappear.
Speaking of which, it was very common for landslides to occur in Tasman because of the two years of rain. The soil would shift and slide after being saturated with water for a long period of time. Anyone who had entered the mountainous area would encounter this. Caster frowned and looked at it. He didn't think there was a big problem, so he turned his head and continued to focus on the city wall.
At this moment, more than half of the western city wall had been occupied by skeleton soldiers. Although the human soldiers were trying their best to charge through the passageways, they were clearly at a disadvantage due to their lack of combat power. In the end, they could even see Kurka personally leading his guards into battle.
"Why are you still struggling at this time? What a joke. "
Caster felt that the situation was set. He no longer stared at the city wall in the distance. When he looked to the side, he suddenly frowned. There seemed to be something moving at the foot of the mountain at the end of his vision.
He was a Death Knight and didn't know how to cast spells, so he asked the Mage adjutant next to him, "What's that over there? Detect it. "
The adjutant cast a spell as instructed. After careful observation, he replied hesitantly, "It … looks like water? I don't remember a river here. "
"Water?"
Caster was stunned. As the commander, he knew the terrain very well. There were no rivers at all in the basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the largest river passed through the center of the mountain forty to fifty kilometers away. Even if there was a flood, it wouldn't reach here.
"Uh, Lord Caster, there's a possibility that this situation will occur." The adjutant pointed to the mountainside and said, "Sometimes, a dammed lake will form on the hillside due to the change in terrain. When the accumulated rainwater in other lakes, rivers, or rivers reaches a critical point, the water may overflow or burst the dam …"
Tasman had experienced this situation before, so the adjutant's explanation was clear and logical. However, Caster's expression became more and more strange. He looked left and right, and his gaze quickly locked onto the few 'landslides' that he had previously overlooked. At this time, when he looked again, there were signs of collapse in between the mountains. The originally tall trees had been washed away by the water, forming a 'river' that was tens of meters wide!
At a glance, there were actually five such 'river channels'!
While they were talking, Caster and the adjutant saw the flood of several other river channels appear in their field of vision. Tasman's land had been washed by the rain for a long time, and now it was difficult for it to absorb any water. Therefore, the flood rushing down from the mountain quickly spread, converged, and soon formed a line in the distance!
Everyone knew the principle of "water flows to the bottom", and Caster was no exception. His gaze was a little stiff as he looked at his position from afar. He then looked at Tellak Castle which was at the lowest point in front of him. His lips trembled as he cursed, "Damn it! Retreat! Retreat quickly! "
He predicted a very terrifying outcome: if they did not avoid it, the attacking army would be completely submerged by the sudden flood!
Although there were many soldiers attacking the castle, more than ninety percent of them were below the city walls, which was the lowest point of the entire terrain. When the flood came, tens of thousands of soldiers would definitely be the first to suffer. Not only that, even Caster, who was not far from the castle, was in danger!
He made a prompt decision and immediately sent someone to inform the attacking troops to retreat. At the same time, he led the remaining troops to the rear.
On the periphery of the battlefield, some troops had already encountered the flood. Because the 'awakened' cavalry troops were far away, they were washed away by the first wave of the flood before it completely converged. However, the flood at this time was only as high as the horse's hooves, so the troops could barely move sideways despite the strain.
But the flood coming from five directions converged as it approached. The water flow became bigger and faster, and by the time it reached Tellac Castle, a large number of undead soldiers were washed away on the spot!
Caster escaped the disaster because he was not in the path of the flood. He led the guards and ran away desperately. When the surroundings were safe, he looked back at the army that had just begun to retreat. His lips trembled involuntarily. "Who did this … Who did this …"
He had no choice but to admit one fact: His main force was probably going to be finished!
Military orders were transmitted very slowly in this era. From the time a horse rode over to inform the sixty to seventy thousand troops to receive the order, it would take up to half an hour. So when the flood from the five lakes came crashing down, apart from Caster's three thousand troops, less than a thousand of the undead army managed to escape because they were in a position that avoided the water flow.
The remaining troops were swept away, washed away, and drowned by the rushing flood.
The flood that seemed to flow slowly actually carried a huge force. No matter how strong the soldiers' physique was or how skilled the mages' spells were, they could not last more than a few minutes in the face of this natural force. The troops that had climbed up the city walls could not go up or down. Coupled with the boost in morale of the defending soldiers, they were instantly knocked down by the wave of charge …
"We … we won just like that?"
Kulka, who was bathed in blood, panted heavily as he stood on the city wall. His hand that was holding the longsword trembled due to exhaustion. Several wounds on his body were still bleeding, but all the pain was not as shocking as the scene in front of him. Tens of thousands of undead were completely drowned by the black flood. The dirty water that kept gathering was filled with struggling figures. But as the water level gradually rose, the struggling figures gradually stopped moving under the surging waves of the undercurrent.
The undead did not have unlimited stamina. No one could withstand the cruel baptism of nature while wearing a suit of armor and struggling in the flood.
On the other side of the city wall, the hooded Dusco slowly exhaled. At this moment, he was truly convinced by Roddy. In his understanding, 'war' had always been won by manpower. But now, Roddy had directly used a 'natural disaster' to directly massacre the undead army of tens of thousands!
The planning, calculation, and execution behind this made Dusco feel a deep sense of fear.
He raised his head and met Kulka's gaze from afar. Both of them had the same thought: Never make an enemy out of someone like this …
*****
"How did you do it? How did you know that these five lakes could be flooded? How did you know that the undead would be able to gather the army here? The bursting of the lakes isn't something that can be done with simple explosions. How did you ensure that all five lakes would explode? "
Kardashian tried her best not to let her tone change, but the numerous questions clearly told the others that she was' shocked '. No matter how powerful the Dragons were, it was impossible for them to directly destroy an army of seventy to eighty thousand. Perhaps only the Dragons could use a forbidden spell that took several hours to chant to achieve such an effect. But this weak human in front of her had sentenced the undead army to death while talking!
Doing something that even the Dragons could not do, Roddy's status in the eyes of the three Dragons immediately rose by a large margin. Although it was impossible for them to be 'on equal footing', when he spoke again, the weight of his words had unknowingly increased.
"A few months ago, I began to detect suitable lakes. Not only did these five lakes burst, there are six other places in Tasman that are suitable for this tactic. There are a few places that might be more effective. It can even be said that … if the undead don't come, I have a way to make the water directly flood Oldmancius. "
Roddy replied with a smile, "As for how to make the lakes burst … it's actually because I used the 'Earth Sinking Formation' that the High Elves once used to 'lay the foundation.' With it, the soil structure at the mouth of the lake will collapse before exploding. That way, there will be enough water to release. "
In fact, Roddy had always been in suspense. He had thought of this move because there had been an old incident in history where a lake burst and flooded the undead camp. Back then, this had happened because the undead had ignored the danger of the lake. But now … Roddy had forcefully burst the lake, making the undead of Tasman pay an unprecedented and painful price!
