The negotiator sent by Xiang Ningxuan is called Sheng Yi. He is one of the first batch of high-level talents recruited from Hongye District. He was proficient in business negotiations before the end of the world. He has quick thinking and excellent eloquence. He showed an aggressive momentum when he came up, and all conditions were perfect.

Get to Casper's bottom line.

Although Casper was knowledgeable, he was still inferior to professionals when it came to negotiations. Except for insisting on autonomy and the territory of Liuming Mountain, he could only give in to other conditions.

But the more this happens, the more he feels that humans are negotiating sincerely. Moreover, he also understands that these humans are also facing another more powerful undead force threat. Therefore, what humans want most is the research results and cannon fodder of necromancy.

troops.

Sheng Yi insisted on sharing all the necromancy technology in the cemetery, and required that at most 80% of their low-level core units and 0% of their mid-level elite units be recruited during war.

After fierce debate, the two sides finally reached an agreement. Liumingshan became the autonomous territory of these cemetery heroes and recognized Xiang Ningxuan as the great lord. The autonomous territory paid a certain amount of taxes every year and had the obligation to send troops in a state of war.

Xiang Ningxuan promised to give them fair treatment in accordance with the principle of shouldering responsibilities with strength and getting more for more work.

The soul contract was signed that night, and they agreed to prepare for one more day and send out troops to deal with the Soul Reavers on the morning of the third day.

————

May 5th was cloudy with light rain.

Although the weather conditions were not good, the battle plan could not be changed. Early in the morning, the two thousand main soldiers drawn from the Elite Regiment, the First, Second, and Eighth Brigades, and the two hundred backbones drawn from other groups, the Independent Aviation Squadron,

The Fourth Brigade of the Engineering Corps, as well as medical and logistics and other auxiliary troops, and more than 3,000 militiamen, gathered together with five tanks supported by the tank regiment. Under the command of Chu Xiongtian, Shen Rui and Shen Tao, they fought towards Zhuque Mountain while eliminating the scattered soul-snatchers.

The troops were building bunkers on one side, fighting steadily and building a camp step by step.

This is the largest force the Fourth Detachment has ever deployed. And unlike the separate attacks during the Battle of Jiangcheng, what we have to deal with this time is the Soul Reaver forces with a unified organization. A force of more than 5,000 people needs to act as a whole

Group advancement.

The goal of this operation is not only to annihilate the Soul Reavers, but also to train troops and accumulate large-scale combat experience.

Although Chu Xiongtian is the chief of staff of a lieutenant colonel, he has never commanded so many people in a battle, and the staff are all rookies. Various things are complicated, coupled with inconvenient communication and insufficient training, there are a lot of problems.

This is because Chu Xiongtian has solid basic skills and can barely cope with it. If Xiang Ningxuan is given the command, who knows what troubles will come out!

At the same time, the cemetery dispatched up to 15,000 troops to launch an attack from Liuming Mountain to Shangyuan Mountain. The leader was his old friend Casper.

In other words, it is much easier to command the undead army. With Casper, a necromancer and more than thirty lichs, a vampire can command an army of 15,000, and there is no need for logistics, no rest, no fear of casualties, and no need for pensions.

.It is indeed an excellent cannon fodder necessary for killing people and silencing them when traveling at home.

The two armies split up and attacked together, aiming directly at the valley between Shangyuan Mountain and Zhuque Mountain. There was originally a seven-story giant ash tower, but it has now been transformed into the lair of the Soul Reaver.

By around one o'clock at noon, the two armies had already started fighting for the commanding heights of Zhuque Mountain and Shangyuan Mountain. If the Soul Reavers did not move, they would have no choice but to be surrounded in the valley.

The Soul Reavers, who had been sitting still, finally moved out. Under the leadership of a nearly ten-meter-tall golden death maid, all the main forces of the Soul Reavers were assembled.

The Death Maidens are the attendants of Malthael, the Angel of Death. They hold giant two-handed death scythes. Harvesting souls cruelly and mercilessly is their favorite thing to do.

The tall and strong punisher, the chubby evil spirit, the hell dog as big as a truck, the exorcist with only the upper body covered in lightning, the corpse controller with bone wings on his back, and the rickety soul summoner. These soul snatchers

The main force of the army was mixed with tens of thousands of skeletons, and they rushed towards the human army in Suzaku Mountain.

At the same time that the Soul Reavers were dispatched, Chu Xiongtian had ordered the entire army to enter a defensive state.

Tian Tingfeng led the engineering troops to fully utilize their skills. Before the arrival of the Soul Reaver army, they built a half-moon-shaped defensive position consisting of a large number of parapets and trenches according to local conditions. Afterwards, the engineering troops retreated to the rear and continued to build a second line of defense.

The artillery battery formed using more than ten artillery pieces in the national strategic reserve warehouse took the lead in opening fire. However, they were formed too quickly and did not have professional artillery instructors. Chu Xiongtian's only requirement for them was not to blow up his own people.

The rumbling sound of artillery kicked off the battle. Although few soldiers were killed, the Soul Reavers still accelerated their charge in an instant.

The charge of a group with tens of thousands of skeletons all over the mountains and plains is very spectacular. The skeletons of the Soul Reavers are obviously different from the skeletons in the cemetery. They emit light blue fluorescence and are more agile. There are mainly skeleton warriors holding swords and shields and those using bows and arrows.

There are two types of Bone Archers.

Since they were far from the range of their bows and arrows, these bone archers could only follow and charge.

"Swish, swish, swish!" The two armed helicopters launched anti-tank missiles and rockets in an instant. Since the pilots of these two helicopters are elite-level heroes, they don't even need to return to the ground to reload, they only need to consume system currency and

It takes some time to reload. Therefore, they still hover over their own army and use the nose cannon to fire wildly.

A Punisher and two Hellhounds were killed by anti-tank missiles, and some were injured. The explosion of rockets overturned hundreds of skeletons. The firepower of the aircraft cannon was also very fierce, and all the skeletons were hit.

Falling apart.

However, when such an attack falls on the tide of the Soul Reaver army, it is like a stone falling into a pond, making a splash, and then quickly subsides.

The Soul Reaver's counterattack came quickly. The lightning on the bodies of more than a dozen exorcists surged, accumulating energy to prepare for ultra-long-range attacks.

"Bang!" A sniper round hit an exorcist's head, causing his accumulated electricity to lose control instantly and explode like a plasma bomb.

Shen Tao quickly changed his sniper target and destroyed another exorcist.

However, more than a dozen exorcists still completed the energy storage. Their open hands on the left and right closed in the middle, and the blazing white lightning on their bodies turned into sharp arrows and shot out.

The two helicopters hurriedly dodged, but the speed of the lightning arrows was too fast, and less than half of the attacks hit the target.

A helicopter was shot down, its left landing gear and missile nest were destroyed, it shook, and it quickly retreated to the rear.

The other plane was not so lucky. The propeller and tail were attacked and shook violently in the air. The pilot used his skills to barely prevent the plane from falling. Then he found a piece of open space behind and made an awkward landing. He had no health.

It's low. A fall would not kill the pilot.
