    Grayling Town is a very ordinary small town with no terrain advantages. It was only because of its moderate geographical location that Raymond chose it as a station.  The entire town's defense line is mainly built on the side facing the east, with only some reinforcements on the left and right sides. Since there is a small river on one side and the other side faces Bryce's garrison, theoretically it is very difficult.  Security, so the defenses are not as tight as here.  Since the undead first attacked the defense line here, everyone was busy defending, and coupled with the chaos in the town, they couldn't help but neglect the defense on the left and right sides.  By the time it was noticed, the undead troops had already broken through.  The critical area is on the south side of the town. There was originally a small river that served as a natural trench.  But that riverit would be more appropriate to say it was a creek. It didn't have much defense, and it was quickly crossed by the undead.  Once a large number of undead troops pour in from that side, they will not only directly attack the center of the town, but also threaten the troops here. The situation will not be good.  "Lord Raymond, let me go." Anxiously, Lorna said calmly.  I have to say that now she is becoming more and more like a master.  Raymond was about to agree when suddenly there was a thunderous roar in the town, and then he saw a large group of black cavalry rushing towards that side from the town.  "It's the cavalry from Godan Grassland!" Soon a soldier came to report.  Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.  The lethality of the undead troops of the cavalry is well known, and the opponent does not have high-level undead yet. If the cavalry from Godan Grassland goes to intercept them, that side will basically be safe.  Raymond had sent people to contact the prairie cavalry before, but the ghosts pouring into the town frightened the horses more than people. The frightened horses ran around, making it impossible for the cavalry to gather.  It seems now.  They finally organized their troops and joined the battle at the critical moment.  There is nothing to say about what happened after that. The prairie cavalry arrived in time and dealt a devastating blow to the undead troops that broke in from the south.  Under the impact of the cavalry, the fragile skeleton soldiers and zombies were completely live targets, and the troops that rushed in were almost wiped out.  The cavalry also rushed out of the town and pursued them for a while before retreating into the town.  After all this fuss, the morning light finally appeared in the sky. The morning sun shone from the clouds and illuminated the entire battlefield.  ***************************************************  **************** With the defense line on the east side of the town as the boundary, there are a large number of undead corpses scattered outside the town. The soldiers in the town also suffered heavy casualties. The doctor accompanying the army is directing the men to  The wounded soldiers were carried down and the dead were buried.  The bonfires are still burning.  Bursts of black smoke rushed into the air, as if the souls of the war dead were overlooking this tragic battlefield.  Although the undead did not successfully invade the town, a large number of ghosts still caused great losses.  The whole town was in a mess, and the panicked soldiers subconsciously caused a lot of damage. Many people fell down due to the attack of the ghosts, and are still struggling on the edge of death, so many people lost their lives.  The undead army seemed to have understood that the attack had failed, and they slowly retreated.  Set up camp a few miles away from the town and assume a posture of continuing the fight.  Headington¡¯s army also took the opportunity to clean up the battlefield.  There were busy figures everywhere, and the screams and groans of the injured were endless.  At this time, the prairie cavalry who defeated the invading undead troops also came over. The leader was the centaur Tavent, and Holder was also among them.  Seeing that the enemy would not attack again for the time being, Raymond and his party also came down from the house.  "It's really tragic." Looking at the large number of casualties in front of the defense line.  Holder couldn't help but wonder.  "Tavent, Mr. Holder, thank you for solving the crisis in the south." Raymond first expressed his gratitude to them: "Otherwise our defense line would be in danger." "Please don't say that, because those ghosts, our  The war horse was greatly frightened. I should be sorry for not participating in the defense in time," Tavante said honestly.  "But fortunately, the enemy has been repulsed." Raymond said: "It seems that there won't be another fight in the short term." At this time, Holder said: "I heard that after searching for a long time, no undead were found.  The traces of the army, how could they suddenly appear outside the town? "This is what we are confused about," said Mo Silin.  As she spoke, she expressed the questions that Raymond had mentioned before, especially the fact that the undead army did not go to rescue Sonali City, but instead came towards the Headington Army, which was really strange.  "Could it be that they want to defeat us first, and then go out to rescue us after solving their worries?" Tavant guessed.  ¡°So, do you think it¡¯s possible to do it with the opponent¡¯s strength?¡± Raymond saidTao.  Tavante thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Impossible." After the battle just now, Tavante also figured out the opponent's reality.  Although the undead army is huge in number, they are all the lowest undead soldiers. To be honest, the effect of this kind of thing is really limited.  Although Raymond sent a lot of troops, the main force still stayed in Grayling Town. Coupled with the cavalry from Godan Grassland, it was basically impossible for the undead army to break through here.  "So, it seems that the other party misjudged our strength." Holder touched his chin and said: "Maybe they thought that if they destroyed our command system, they could quickly defeat our support army, and then they could return with peace of mind.  Sonali." "But I didn't expect that our main force is here and we have built such a strong defense." Holder's words are the most reasonable explanation, but there are still problems.  Moslin said: "But isn't this strange? Since the enemy can break through our defense line and sneak out of the town, it means that they are familiar with our layout. How could they make such a big misjudgment?"  Raymond nodded: "Moslin is right. If the other party really wants to eliminate our support army first, they should first defeat our troops outside while we are not aware of it, and then attack here."  "Like now, regardless of directly attacking the main force, regardless of victory, once the raid fails, they will be flanked by those troops. It will become very dangerous. Moreover, they should also know that with such a force, they will take such a big risk, almost  There is no chance of winning. This is really not like what those shrewd necromancers did. "In general, this necromancer's raid is really full of doubts. Although the process is beautiful, the result is really not good.  Especially if you think about it.  This strategy is downright stupid.  The most bizarre thing is that even though they knew that if the raid failed, they would be attacked by the troops outside, they had no intention of leaving. Instead, they showed a posture of continuing the fight. This was simply waiting to die.  What kind of tricks are those guys playing?  However, no matter what, the threat before us is real, and there are many enemy troops, so we must deal with them seriously.  Therefore, Raymond said: "No matter what the opponent's purpose is. At least they finally showed up, so just defeat them." He then said to Tavant: "Please send some cavalry teams to inform Bryce and the others.  , cut off the retreat of these undead, so that none of them can escape." "Understood, I will do it now." Tavant nodded.  "Lord Raymond, are we going to notify the Sidonis sect and ask them to send troops to assist in the attack?" Followed.  Tavant asked again.  "Of course." Raymond said without hesitation.  This time they came to assist the Sidonis sect, so Raymond would not be so stupid as to take all the responsibility for dealing with the undead army on himself.  Although we have successfully found the enemy.  But to eliminate so many undead troops, there is still a considerable price to pay. Naturally, it is better to let friendly forces do this.  After receiving Raymond¡¯s reply, Tavant immediately sent out several cavalry groups and headed towards the location of Bryce and others as well as the city of Sonali.  At the same time, Raymond's side also continued to strengthen their vigilance to prevent new attacks from the undead army.  But the strange thing is.  But the other party stopped there, neither leaving nor starting to fight, as if waiting for something.  The longer it takes, the better it will be for Raymond.  So he was happy to see it work.  However, the other party's repeated abnormal behavior also made everyone feel more and more strange.  ***************************************************  **************** Later that afternoon, Bastet returned to Grayling first.  Her scout troops are spread all over the area, so she is the first to get the news that the town is being attacked.  As soon as she saw Raymond, Catwoman became furious and vented her dissatisfaction.  "Meow, I'm so angry. Those useless men didn't even notice such a large force." Bast said angrily: "It seems that I didn't train those guys hard enough!" "  Young Master, I'm sorry, it was my negligence this time and I let them sneak in, please punish me." Then she blamed herself and said to Raymond.  "Forget it." Raymond waved his hand: "No one expected what happened this time. Fortunately, they didn't succeed. How about it, did your scouts find out that they have other troops?" Bastet shook her head:  "No more. Before I came back, I had people thoroughly check the nearby area to make sure there were no other undead armies. However, one of my teams was missing. They were supposed to report to me this morning, but there is no trace so far.  .¡±  "The area they are responsible for happens to be on the march route of these undead, and it seems that they have been killed." "Well, are there no other undead troops?" Raymond muttered: "So, those are the only ones really.  "Whether the other party is hiding its strength is also what worries Raymond, but now it seems that there are all the enemy's forces outside the town. This makes Raymond relieved, but at the same time, his doubts are getting deeper.  Seeing Raymond silent, Bastet thought he was worried about the enemy troops outside. She patted her chest and said, "Meow, don't worry, young master. I have sent people to monitor those guys, no matter what they do."  , You can't hide it from us." "That's good." Raymond patted her head in appreciation: "Then, when Bryce and his troops arrive, they can launch a counterattack." That night, the undead army.  Taking advantage of the darkness, they launched another attack.  However, this time Headington's army was well prepared, and every move of the opponent was under the close surveillance of the scouts, so naturally there would be no big disturbance.  Without the assistance of high-level undead soldiers, the tactics of the necromancer cannot be implemented at all, and even relying on the corpse witch to create poisonous mist cannot do anything.  Although several necromancers tried to use magic to break through the defense line, they were all blocked by Moslin's defensive spells.  So they can only rely on skeleton soldiers and zombies to attack, which naturally has no effect.  There was a commotion all night, but at dawn there was still little progress in the war.  Then at noon the next day, the closest units of Sheernis and Harlot arrived first and stationed themselves behind the undead army.  That night, Bryce¡¯s troops also rushed back for reinforcements, facing Sheerness¡¯s troops at a distance.  Threatening the flanks of the undead army.  Even in such a dangerous situation, the undead army still did not try to retreat, but it did not launch an attack that night.  The entire undead army remained motionless, just waiting, waiting responding to the increasingly bad battle situation with their unique silence, as if they were giving up on themselves.  Another night passed, and early on the third day, the Hermi tribe who was farthest away also arrived. Three troops were stationed in a Z-shaped formation behind the undead army.  Together with the main force of Headington in Grayling Town, they completed the double-teaming of the undead army.  "It's really strange. What are the enemies thinking?" Standing on the roof, Raymond and his party looked at the surprisingly silent undead army, and their hearts were full of questions.  In total, the opponent has been silent for a day and a half. Even if he was trapped in a double-team situation, he did not escape or fight back, as if he had accepted his fate.  Raymond once thought about it.  Did the Necromancer deliberately use this force to hold him back? In fact, there was another main force attacking the Sidonian sect army outside Sonali City.  But that¡¯s not possible either.  The attack on the Sidonis sect is different from the attack on Grayling Town. If the enemy wants to reach Sonali City, they must pass through the defense lines of Bryce and three other troops.  Although their main force returned to support, they still closely monitored their respective defense areas. Unless the undead troops became invisible, there would be no chance of repeating this raid.     not to mention.  Raymond doubted whether the enemy army still had enough troops to attack the 100,000-strong Sidonian sect army.  So, no matter which way you look at it, the undead army has completely failed this time and is in desperate situation.  There is no way to recover.  ***************************************************  **************** As expected by Raymond, the Sidonian sect responded very quickly to this long-standing concern. After receiving Raymond¡¯s report,  They immediately sent their most elite troops to come as quickly as possible.  Sonali City is not far from here, so at noon on the third day, the sect¡¯s troops also arrived.  I saw a cavalry unit wearing white armor appearing in everyone's field of vision, slowly approaching the undead army. It was the old friends of Headington's army - the God's Punishment Knights.  The Knights of Divine Punishment are one of the three divinely chosen regiments of the Sidonis sect and are the most elite cavalry.  When they invaded the Lavit Federation for the first time, they fought against the Headington Army. Their tenacious fighting will and terrifying combat power left a very deep impression on everyone.  Relying on a strategy, Raymond eliminated half of the Divine Punishment Knights. In the past few years, the Sidonian sect has been working hard to rebuild the Knights, but elite soldiers are hard to find. The strength of the Divine Punishment Knights has only been replenished by a small part. Despite this, they  It is still a combat force that is enough to scare the enemy.  In order to defeat the undead army as soon as possible, the Divine Punishment Knights came alone, but this was enough.  With them joining the battle, the undead's defeat is a foregone conclusion. This is the common thought of everyone who sees the Knights of Divine Punishment.  "Now the troops of Grayling Town, Bryce's troops, Hermi's troops, Sheerness and Harlot's troops, as well as the Knights of God's Punishment,"A group of troops surrounded the undead army. Even if the enemy had wings, they would not be able to escape.  Seeing that there was still time, before the general attack began, Raymond summoned the commanders of each army to conduct final negotiations before the general attack.  Bryce, Helmy, Sirness and Harlot arrived in Grayling Town one after another.  Raymond first told everyone the whole story of being attacked by the undead troops, and finally said: "The enemy has been nailed to death outside Grayling Town by us. Now is the best time to eliminate them." "Great, we found those guys like this  After a few days, they came to my door obediently," Harlot said excitedly.  Bryce and Hermi are both brave and outstanding generals, and they also saw the unusualness of this action of the undead army.  But like Raymond, they couldn't explain the strange raid.  ¡°It¡¯s so strange, the undead army seems to be deliberately trying to get into our pockets.¡± Hermi couldn¡¯t help but said.  Bryce also said: "Although this raid was done beautifully and it was hidden from all of us. But the enemy must have been too anxious to make such a gamble."  "Sirnis sneered: "No matter what the enemy's purpose is, they are here now." As he said, the rude elf directly made a slashing motion with his palms: "Rather than looking forward and backward, it is better to kill them directly.  The best solution." "That's right, boss, let's fight!" Harlot also said, "Don't think about it like a girl. Do you want to accompany them when they come to you?  Can¡¯t we bask in the sun here?¡± I have to say that what the two of them said is the best solution at the moment.  Since you can't explain it, don't explain it. As long as you kill the enemy, any conspiracy will be useless.  Raymond nodded and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Bastet say: "Young Master, look." Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw only three Divine Punishment Knights in the distance.  He is galloping towards here on horseback.  As a courtesy, Raymond also sent an invitation to the Divine Punishment Knight for discussion. Of course, he did not expect the other party to respond.  After all, although they are called friendly forces, the hatred between the two sides was too deep before.  Who would have thought that the other party actually sent someone here.  Three divine punishment knights galloped towards here quickly. When they got close, they turned over and dismounted at the same time, and their heavy armor fell to the ground with a muffled thud.  It seemed like even the ground was shaking.  The Knights of Divine Punishment are one of the best families in the Sidonis sect, and they are not only well-equipped.  The war horses are also specially bred and are said to be mixed with the blood of Warcraft.  The horse power was strong, and the knight in full armor galloped quickly, but the war horse was still full of energy, snoring energetically, and the horse's hooves were scratching on the ground.  Watching three tall knights walking towards here.  Everyone was stunned for a moment.  Bryce and the others looked at each other without speaking. Bastet looked wary and moved her hands behind her as a habit.  Walking closer, the three of them stood still.  The leading knight took off his helmet.  What appeared in front of everyone was a strong man in his forties with a rough face.  He has standard samurai-style short hair, dark complexion, and green stubble on his chin. His wide-open eyes shine fiercely. Although he purses his lips tightly and does not speak, his aura as he stares back is like a head of hair.  Like a lion.  The man's eyes slowly swept over everyone, and being stared at by his gaze was like a burning torch approaching, giving people a burning sensation.  However, everyone was also a man who had experienced many battles, and they all looked at him without showing any signs of weakness. Harold even puffed up his chest provocatively.  Everyone's reaction made the man's eyes flash, and finally his eyes fell on Raymond: "Are you the Raymond of Headington?" "It's me." The stronger the opponent's momentum, the easier Raymond's performance became.  , just like the reflection in the lake in the strong wind, no matter how fierce you are, I will be calm in the wind.  ¡°I am the leader of the Divine Punishment Knights, Yalins.¡± The man introduced himself.  It turned out to be the leader of the Divine Punishment Knights!  Everyone finally couldn't help but let out a low cry.  "Uh I've admired you for a long time." Raymond hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand to Yalins.  What else could he say? Could it be that he was happy to kill half of your knights?  Yalins snorted, but still stretched out his hand to shake hands with Raymond.  He was very tall, and he was wearing full-body armor and his big, gauntleted hands almost covered Raymond's palm.  It seemed that as long as Yalins exerted force, he could crush Raymond's hand.  This contrast can't help but give people a very dangerous illusion. Bastet's body involuntarily leaned forward, and her hand had already grasped the handle of the knife.  Raymond still had the same calm demeanor, with a faint smile on his face, without any trace of anger.To be afraid.  Yalins quietly observed his expression, his keen eyes seeming to distinguish whether Raymond was really calm or trying to keep his composure.  After a moment, he slowly retracted his hand, and their hands separated.  "I was ordered by Archbishop Quaifard to lead the remaining Knights of Divine Punishment to come for support." Yalins said solemnly: "Thank you for holding back the undead army." Yalins was obviously "remaining"  The tone of the words was emphasized, and it was obvious that the old grievances between the two parties had not been forgotten.  At the same time, although his attitude maintained the most basic courtesy, he unscrupulously exuded the terrifying aura like a lion hunting. As long as Raymond was a little timid, he would be completely overwhelmed by him.  Raymond seemed to have no feeling about this, and was relaxed and relaxed under the strong pressure of Yalins.  After all, he is a person who has really seen strong winds and waves. Although Yalins is extremely powerful, can he still be stronger than Haken?  Better than Gru?  Stronger than the Dragon Clan?  Raymond is not afraid of them, so how can he be afraid of Yalins.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
