Chapter 358: 356 Catalan Can Wait_1
With anticipation on Catalan’s face, Angelina took out the communication crystal directly in front of him.
She spoke to the person on the other end, agreeing to work overtime tonight and arrange for the transportation of supplies immediately.
After all this, Angelina gave Catalan a knowing look.
Finally relieved, Catalan smiled and said warmly to Angelina, “Her Majesty the Queen has really done a great favor for our alliance this time. After this war, if there’s anything the Vide needs, feel free to mention it to me.
Now, you are my friend, and as long as we can help, the Dawn Elves will not shirk our responsibility!”
After Catalan said this, the eyes of the others in the room looking at Angelina had changed a bit.
Although Elves are seen as hypocritical representatives by many races, it must be said that they are very committed to their promises.
It seems that the Queen of Vide, a nouveau riche, might really be able to truly enter the upper echelons of the continent soon.
However, the Queen of Vide seems a bit foolish, not realizing the opportunity she is facing.
Even in the face of Catalan’s promises and assurances, Angelina just gave a faint smile and a slight nod to show that she understood.
This reaction surprised Catalan a bit and made him see the new Queen of Vide in a new light.
In his view, Angelina was nothing like what others said – just a simple nouveau riche – and even well-cultivated.
However, he had no way of knowing Angelina’s true thoughts at this moment.
While Angelina looked friendly with a smile on her face, her inner thoughts were completely different.
Ask me if I need anything? You can repay me with your life in a few days!
Now that the supply issue was resolved, Catalan began to think about how to defeat the undead in Purgatory City.
After discussing with representatives from various forces, Catalan realized that the reason for the embarrassing situation in this battle was entirely due to underestimation of the enemy.
In other words, even in the face of an ambush, unfavorable terrain, and a surprise attack, the Dawn Legion did not suffer much damage, which demonstrates their strength.
Next, as long as they take it step by step, it should not be difficult to take care of these undead.
Although the Undead Dragon has not appeared yet, they have their counters too.
The Silver Dragon and other good dragons that left the Dawn Forest with him are still hidden in the Dawn Legion.
As for the Purgatory Demon Dragon that killed the Radiant Fire Flame through an ambush, he had prepared a way to deal with it before leaving the Dawn Forest.
If it doesn’t show up it’s fine, but if it does, he’ll teach it that this era is no longer the era of giants and dragons.
With these thoughts in mind, the once lively tent gradually emptied, leaving only Catalan lying on a blanket on his side, holding his sword.
It took a long time for the tired him to barely fall asleep.
He feared the undead would launch a night raid, as the night was their home court.
However, it seems that his worry was unnecessary. The next morning, when the bright sun shone on the earth, driving away the darkness and dampness, no trace of any undead was found nearby.
Although this was good news, it made Catalan somewhat puzzled. Did the Purgatory Demon Dragon or the undead commanders have no brains?
If it was him, he would have taken advantage of last night’s victory to pursue and attack relentlessly, not giving the Dawn Legion a break.
But the other party did not do so, and according to the information sent back by the scouts, those undead who fought the Dawn Legion last night retreated back to Purgatory City after the Dawn Legion withdrew.
Through the gap in the city wall, created by the blast at Purgatory City yesterday, one could still see the undead crowded inside.
Not quite believing it, Catalan personally followed the scouts to find a safe place to look into Purgatory City.
Indeed, the scene inside was just like that – a bunch of undead huddled together, as motionless as if they were asleep.
After returning to the temporary camp of the Dawn Legion, Catalan thought for a while and a bold idea emerged in his heart.
Perhaps these undead had no commander and had been fighting purely on instinct.
And those undead knights just happened to be behind the gap in the city wall by coincidence.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was likely, so he sent a small force to slowly approach Purgatory City.
At the same time, some spellcasters took to the air, casting Fireballs or other low-level spells towards the gap in Purgatory City from a distance.
These low-level spells were like small stones thrown into a calm lake, causing a ripple effect.
Suddenly, the undead that was packed together turned like a tide and rushed out of Purgatory City once again.
However, compared to yesterday, their numbers were much smaller, probably because this time’s provocation was relatively small.
And this was the result that Catalan wanted.
The small team he sent out was just bait, and they were to lure the undead out of the city and into the prepared ambush circle.
After yesterday’s lesson, Catalan had fully realized that there was no need to be impatient, and it was the best strategy to proceed steadily.
And things were developing smoothly according to his plan, as this group of lured undead was soon surrounded and killed by an army several times their size.
Next, a new group of baits started the same work, and those undead, as Catalan had guessed, seemed to have no true leader and were responding to situations based on instinct.
Unknowingly, another day had passed, and the Dawn Legion had successfully lured and killed over a dozen waves of undead.
Although the process was smooth, their achievements were only a tiny part of the total number of undead in Purgatory City.
If the current progress continues, it would be a huge project to clean up the undead in Dragon Bone Wasteland.
However, Catalan held an optimistic attitude towards this, as he needed to reduce the number of undead as safely as possible.
When the number of undead decreases to a considerable figure, that will be the time for the Dawn Legion to launch a full-scale attack.
Perhaps it will take half a month, or maybe a month…
The timing is a bit uncertain, but Catalan feels he can wait.
