Under the dim moonlight, the dark sky that shrouded the town of Dicko gradually dissipated, and the hidden fangs gradually became clear in the thin black mist.
In all directions, densely packed, all are undead, as if the ocean is endless. Seeing that the Imperial Capital Army's scalp is exploding, the number was originally one of the advantages of the Imperial Capital Army, but now it has become a disadvantage.
Parrott understood a little bit that the reason for the house explosion just now was not only to kill and wound his soldiers, but also to clear a large open space without cover, which is convenient for encirclement and suppression tactics. He suddenly thought of the report from the soldiers earlier, all the houses were empty, could it be... all the townspeople were turned into undead
Even Parrott, who has always been cruel, couldn't help but shudder.
"Don't panic! It's just a bunch of rubbish skeletons! Their fragile skeletons can't withstand the sharpest blades in our hands, and the poor rusty knives can't even leave a trace on our solid armor!" Palot said He regained his composure and began to boost morale loudly, "We are the strongest elite in the imperial capital, how can we be afraid of these wastes who are only suitable for cannon fodder on the battlefield? Soldiers, the enemies of Dark Moon have already fled with their tails between their legs. We are worried that we have nowhere to go. Earn more credits, exert your strongest strength, and smash these bones!"
It has to be said that these imperial generals are good at boosting morale, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers suddenly became high again. Although most of them have no experience in fighting undead, everyone knows that the most commonly used by undead is the skeleton sea tactic, that is, Use the number of skeleton soldiers as cannon fodder to consume the enemy. Skeletons are the lowest level of undead creatures, and their combat power is not worth mentioning. With the combat power of the imperial capital army, defense or even launching a counterattack should not be a problem.
Under Palot's command, the Imperial Capital Army formed a huge phalanx, confronting a large number of slowly moving enemy troops.
The dark sky had completely disappeared. Although the moonlight was not very bright, the soldiers could see the appearance of the undead army clearly through the firelight of the house and the lighting ball, and many of them took a breath in unison.
It is indeed a sea of skeletons, but these skeletons... are too unexpected.
Cannon fodder on the battlefield? Fragile skeleton? Poor rusty knife
The helmets and iron armor on the skeletons can only be equipped by heavy infantry called tortoise shells, and they are uniformly equipped with thick round shields and shining scimitars, damn it! The equipment of the regular infantry regiment is nothing more than this!
Parrot was also stunned. Is this still the weakest skeleton soldier? How much does it cost to equip all the skeletons with uniform weapons and armor
Now is not the time to laugh at or lament the stupidity of many people in the Dark Moon Territory. There are so many well-equipped undead soldiers, I am afraid it will become the biggest nightmare tonight!
"Hahahaha!" The strange laughter echoed in Dicko Town. The laughter seemed to come from dozens of people in all directions, but the voice and tone belonged to one person. The material of the spirit is simply too good! Slaves, help your future companions get rid of the excess flesh and blood!"
The speed of the skeletons gradually increased, rushing towards the Imperial Army's phalanx from all directions like a tide.
For a while, the sounds of weapons clashing were endless, mixed with the soldiers' roars and screams. As soon as they came into contact, the outermost edge of the phalanx had been cut off a layer. The pressure brought by the sea of skeletons far exceeds the imagination of the soldiers. Not only is the equipment powerful, but also the strength is not weak. What is even more frightening is the attributes of undead creatures. They don't know fatigue or fear at all, let alone feel pain, unless Defeat the core of the head, otherwise the damage to the rest of the body will not be very effective, even if it is a severed limb, as long as the scimitar in the hand is still there, people can still be hacked to death without being affected.
The elite soldiers of these imperial capitals are all well-trained. Although facing the terrifying impact of the undead army, they still maintain a high level of mental state and combat effectiveness. As soon as casualties occur, someone will immediately make up for them. Although the loss is not light, they have always maintained defense. formation.
In the center of the phalanx, Lieutenant General Du Rui kept mobilizing and commanding, gradually turning the original offensive and defensive phalanx into a purely defensive circular formation. Parrott kept a serious face and paid close attention to the battle situation in all directions.
"General Palot, do you need me to take action now?" Pegasus, the strong Demon Emperor who had been protecting Palot, asked.
"Not yet." Parrott was not mediocre. He pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Dark Moon is indeed hidden, and it is much more difficult to deal with than imagined. Not only does it have two powerful Demon Emperor Dragons, but there are such a terrifying number of them." The undead army, this time I made a mistake. It is obvious that the enemy has planned for a long time, and now Lord Stebil and the others have been lured away, and only Lord Pegasus is the only Demon Emperor powerhouse left here. Knowing that my lord is one of the few strong men in the royal family, who also practiced martial arts and magic, and can challenge the peak of the devil emperor with the strength of the middle stage of the devil emperor, but the current situation outside is unknown, and I don’t know if the enemy has other means, so my lord should not act rashly. If the power is wasted in vain, or if the enemy manages to contain it, it will only make our army's situation more dangerous. These undead must be controlled by the magician who made the sound just now. Necromancers are generally very cunning and will hide somewhere. Please, sir For the time being, keep silent and observe, try to find out where the magician is hiding, and then please use all your strength to destroy the enemy leader in one fell swoop. As long as the magician dies, this army of undead will automatically collapse."
Pegasus showed approval: "The general is right. To be able to drive so many skeletons, this person's strength is at least close to the level of the devil emperor. I will gradually extend the power of the domain and try to sense and search for the opponent's body." Where the controller is, because there are too many enemies, it takes a lot of mental energy and time, and it will not be able to help the general in the short term."
"My lord, please rest assured to use your power, don't worry about disturbing, our army is still able to withstand it."
Pegasus nodded, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
The formation of hundreds of thousands of people is not so easy to change, and it is still in battle. Thanks to Du Rui's command, it changed in the shortest time, but the circle shrank a little under the onslaught of the undead. Although the soldiers used bows and arrows to shoot, it didn't have a good effect on the undead.
There is a team of eighty magicians in the imperial army. The magic attacks performed are much more threatening to the undead than bows and arrows, but for the huge number of skeleton soldiers, it is just a drop in the bucket. After releasing several spells in a row, the magicians were unable to cast magic again in a short period of time due to the exhaustion of mana.
As soon as the mages stopped, the sound of bowstrings came continuously from the direction of the undead army, and flying arrows flew all over the sky, causing a lot of casualties and killing a few mages who were caught off guard. Du Rui, who was in charge of the battle, Surprised, the undead army actually has archers
These undead archers use powerful and high-quality arrows, which make up for the lack of accuracy. Speaking of accuracy... the undead are not afraid of accidental injury at all, and it doesn't matter if those arrows hit their own people, they are still alive and kicking.
A soldier's spear accurately pierced through the chest of the skeleton soldier with arrows stuck in it. However, this conventional fatal attack had no effect on the skeleton soldier. The skeleton soldier let the skeleton in the heart be crushed by the spear, He rushed forward without slowing down, and slashed the soldier's shoulder with a knife.
The sharp blade cut through the leather armor and stuck to the soldier's shoulder blades. The blood soaked through his clothes immediately. Before he could draw out the knife, a soldier next to him cut the skeleton's arm in two. The skeleton that lost the scimitar was still fierce. A shield strike hit the head of the soldier who was injured on the shoulder. Before the soldier could wake up from the dizziness, another skeleton's scimitar arrived and cut off half of the soldier's head. Blood and brains were splashed on the face of the soldier beside him. The soldier's vision was blocked, and he hurriedly used a shield to protect his body, but his feet hurt, and the knee of his right leg was cut off by a skeleton with only half of his body left. Shouting and falling to the ground, it had been chopped into several pieces in the blink of an eye. As soon as the companions in the back row came up, they were shot down by the rain of arrows from the air, and the skeleton soldiers with the arrows shot by their own family members stuck in their backs were not affected, and continued to rush forward vigorously.
This scene is just a small microcosm of the battle. These skeletons have no independent consciousness, and the movements of their hands are very monotonous. There are only two kinds of swords and shields. The characteristic of immortality caused the imperial capital army to suffer huge losses. If it continues to be consumed like this, the first to be destroyed must be the imperial capital army.
At this time, a group of figures appeared in the skeleton team. These figures were similar to ordinary people, their bodies were thin, and the parts below the knees seemed to have no substance, and they were floating forward, which looked very strange.
"what is that?"
"Why doesn't the knife hurt at all?"
"Bows and arrows are useless! Is it an immortal body?"
"Be careful! This is a ghost! It will greatly reduce physical damage!"
"Damn it, so many ghosts!"
Ghosts are undead creatures transformed from the dead with powerful spiritual power. They have strong immunity to physical damage, and sometimes they can be completely immune. For ordinary troops, they are definitely undead nightmares. The best way to deal with ghosts is magician attack, but now there are only dozens of magicians who are close to exhaustion, and one magician barely issued a lightning operation, and passed out because of mental exhaustion.
In the front row, a leader of the demon king level who also practiced magic and martial arts had a lot of arrows stuck in his armor. Seeing that all the soldiers under his command were exhausted, he shouted angrily, and the weapon in his hand shone with dazzling light. Remember the big move, the ghosts and skeletons within tens of meters disappeared and shattered, but the "blank" cleared in this circle was refilled by the undead who came in the blink of an eye, and the generals who had no time to retreat tried their best to kill several The enemy was quickly submerged in the tidal sea of undead.
In a battlefield of this scale, even with the strength of a great demon king, it is difficult for a mantis to stand up to a cart. Only high-level strength with the power of the domain can truly stand up to a thousand.
The Demon Emperor-level general Tolos on the outer edge of the circle is the commander of the Second Legion. He is brave and good at fighting. The mutated ground-moving dragon, with the sickle in his hand, turned into a volleying arc, and each blow could cut off a large area of undead. Even ghosts that can reduce physical damage cannot resist this absolute power that contains the power of the domain. They were reduced to ashes.
Tolos rode his mount and dashed left and right in the army of undead. He was invincible. He killed a large circle and returned to the vicinity of the circle safely. The soldiers of the Second Legion all shouted mighty. .
Seeing the high morale of the soldiers, Toros raised his sickle high and rushed towards the enemy line again. In fact, his impact consumes a lot of power, but only in this way can the morale that has begun to decline be improved.
——The soldiers in the imperial capital are all elites who have undergone rigorous training, but over time, they will inevitably experience emotional fluctuations, which are directly reflected in their combat effectiveness. In contrast, the undead themselves have no morale factor. Even if they are eliminated by Toros, they will continue to move forward, and their combat effectiveness will remain unchanged.
Just as Toros wielded his scythe and drove the ground dragon to tear the formation of the undead again, the undead team in front suddenly gave way to a passage, and a black figure appeared in front of him. This is a knight covered in black armor, riding a black ghost horse. The horse is wearing armor, with a faint light in its eyes, which looks very strange under the moonlight.
Horror knight! Tolos' pupils contracted slightly. If skeletons are soldiers, then terrifying knights are the kings. They are the highest class of undead creatures. They are made of special souls and corpses. They were powerful knights during their lifetime. Because of some kind of idea or curse The soul cannot be dissipated, and they who are reborn as the undead use resentment and killing as their source of power. Terrorist knights are not those unconscious skeletons, not only retaining independent will other than obeying the controller, but also possessing powerful strength and combat skills in life.
The horrible knight's black visor revealed a strange red light, locked on the existence of Toros, and a huge knight's spear appeared in his hand. With a flick of the rein, the ghost horse spread its hooves, as if a Black lightning rushed towards Toros.
Toros didn't show any weakness, and urged the ground dragon to meet the terrifying knight. The two fast-moving riders passed by in a blink of an eye, and the clear "Zheng" sound even covered up the earth-shattering shouts of killing. The soldiers in the rear only vaguely saw a streak of sparks, and the two horsemen had already separated, and they turned their mounts around in unison, and faced each other again.
There was a long hole in the black armor on the back of the fear knight, and black smoke was released from it, but soon the smoke was ingested into the body again, and Tolos's silver shoulder armor was broken, and there was a terrifying scar on his shoulder. The fragments were even squeezed into the flesh and blood. Toros didn't show any pain on his face, but looked solemnly at the black knight opposite.
Just one blow, Toros understood a few things in his heart. First, this terrifying knight is not inferior to him in terms of strength level, combat skills, and riding skills; second, the opponent's equipment, including the vest, is also not inferior to him, at least it is at the quasi-legendary level; The knight seemed to have a kind of mental interference similar to the fear technique, which made the ground dragon under his seat feel afraid, and he hesitated when he sprinted just now, causing him to be injured more seriously than the opponent.
This is a formidable opponent! Red flames burned on Tolos's body, and the human face became the strongest fighting form of the great demon. The flames enveloped the ground dragon on the mount, and immediately dispelled the fear technique covering the ground dragon. Like a group of dazzling flames, it once again greeted the rushing black lightning.
