Chapter 40: The Cold-Faced General
Billowing smoke rose from the skeleton giant's eyes, and the turquoise body fell backwards.
'Boom~'
With a loud bang, the skeleton giant's body crashed to the ground, and a deafening cheer rang out from the Vic array!
'Invincible!'
'Invincible!'
'Invincible!'
..................
It can be seen that the fall of this skeleton giant has had a great positive impact on the morale of the entire Vic army.
Augustine listened to the cheers behind him without excitement, the leader of the desperate charge and the hundred cavalry that followed were the heroes who killed the skeleton giant.
Fighting his spirit, Augustine glanced at the skeleton giant who was still lying on the ground, and began to prepare to retreat.
But as soon as he stood up, there was another cry of horror from Vic's array.
A turquoise skeletal claw struck from behind him, pulling Augustine into his hand.
The skeletal giant stood up at some point, his right eye still billowing with smoke, but the soul fire in his left eye was still flickering brightly and dimly.
The force of the giant claw was so great that Augustine felt like the bones of his body were about to be crushed in the claw.
'Roar~'
The Skeleton Giant brought Augustine closer to the claws of his hand and opened its mouth to roar at him.
The sound was deafening, accompanied by the smell of decay and decay, and for the first time, the dead who had been sleeping in the ground for thousands of years let out their own angry roars.
The skeletal giant opened its mouth and stretched out its right hand into his mouth, as if to chew Augustine into his bloody mouth.
"Am I going to die?"
Augustine whispered, his eyes flashing to the face of the blonde hostess in Boone's run-down inn. He doesn't seem to have confessed yet!
But before the image in his mind could dissipate, a disdainful and honest voice came from high in the sky.
"Looks like you've got a little more to live!"
In mid-air, a humanoid spinning top leaped in, and the Xuanhua Axe in his hand slashed down at the skeleton giant's head.
'Click......'
A series of bone cracking sounds sounded, and the skull giant's head exploded under the axe, and the huge and only half of the head rolled down from the top of the neck to the ground, and the soul fire that was already flickering in the eye socket was slowly extinguished, and the turquoise skeleton fell apart.
"My family wants me to save your life and take you back. ”
Needless to say, the swarthy man in front of him was Xing Daorong, and his hidden attribute 'momentum' was also shown at this moment.
Xing Daorong slashed the claws of the jade bone skeleton with an axe, pulling up Augustine, who couldn't move inside, while more than thirty star pickers on his side, armed with sharp swords, kept slashing the dry bones that wanted to get closer.
"Sure enough...... You're the man in black!"
Augustine's attention was all on the Xuanhua axe in Xing Daorong's hand, and he fainted after saying this.
"I really don't know what the Venerable Lord is doing with me with this waste?"
Xing Daorong reluctantly carried Augustine on his shoulders, and instructed the Xingwei beside him, "The Lord has an order, evacuate in the direction of Heavenly Court, and General Bai Qi will come to pick us up." ”
"Whoa..."
A group of dozens of people, all of them are the elite of the Heavenly Court, although there are many dry bones, they can't pose a threat at all, and the sword aura is in the air, and it will shatter when touched.
..................
"The group of Orientals was a little strange, and they took Lord Augustine to the other side. ”
The rain continued to wash the blood on the ground, the sky was dim, and it was all thanks to the light spells of the clergy to barely see, and the spirit of every Vic army had been tensed to the limit, if it weren't for the support of those ethereal reinforcements, I am afraid that this phalanx would have fallen by now.
Brand didn't speak, he didn't have the energy and strength to take care of those Orientals, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction in which Xing Daorong and the others left, and he made up his mind to let the Marquis be more wary of these Orientals when he went back.
There were more and more wounded behind the array, and the attack of the dry bones became more and more fierce, and now there were even dry bone knights on skeleton horses.
The big shield on the periphery has also been pierced with thousands of holes, and I am afraid that it will not last too long.
Brand had never thought of Dinier so much in his heart, looking at the less than two thousand troops left beside him, as well as the crumbling defense line, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and shout, "All in position, ready to fight!"
'Wow~'
The sound of a neat row of armor clashing sounded in the small phalanx, and Brand's voice rang out from the canyon
"Behind us is our hometown! It is your relatives!
Brand said, his piercing eyes fixed all around, and his goatee soaked with the rain.
No one spoke, and most of the people present looked different, yes, the adventurers of the entire Duchy of Vic have died in this canyon, if this group of damned undead passes through the canyon, then what awaits their loved ones will be death.
"Our duty now is to hold the gorge and wait for reinforcements behind us. ”
When Brand finished speaking, he shouted, "Withdraw the shield!"
In the first row of arrays, a passage that could only accommodate one person was released, and countless dry bones poured into this passage like a flood that had burst through the gates.
The pikeman raised his spear alalof, piercing the dry bones in front of him, and the shield retreated, arching a small rampart in front of the mage.
With the swing of the staff, each military mage's eyes were bloodshot, and the mana consumption lasted so long that each of them was desperately squeezing every drop of mana in their bodies.
..................
The battle in the skies is also heating up.
The black and white light constantly collided above the clouds, and then collapsed, and collided again.
The white-robed bishop Fortis was obviously down, his white robe was soaked in blood and full of charred holes, and he was glaring angrily at the gray-robed leader in front of him, Andru.
The gray-robed leader Andelu was windless, and countless black mist puffed out from it, as if he felt the anger of Fortis, and laughed loudly, "We have been preparing for today for decades, how can you be a mere white-clothed bishop to interfere!"
Hearing this, Fortis pointed to the black crystal ball behind Andru, and shouted angrily.
"Andelu, you are so bold, do you know what you have done?!"
Fortis pointed at Andre and his expression became more and more excited, the strength of the dry bone legion that appeared below was getting higher and higher, and no one knew if the lich that set off the black tide would really be summoned in the future.
"It's time for the world to shuffle. ”
Andelu's voice was even darker than it had just been.
"Even if the cards are reshuffled, it can't be through the hands of that lich, do you want to make the world a puppet?"
When Andrew heard this, he seemed to have heard some big joke, and laughed loudly, "Puppets, aren't you? Yes, we are filthy executioners, but why aren't you?"
Seeing that Forteus seemed to have something to say, Andru interrupted, "Don't be crooked, if you want to interrupt this 'Satan's sacrifice', you can crush this dark crystal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Fortis looking behind him in shock.
Andelu was puzzled, and when he turned around, he saw a cold-faced oriental military general in black armor playing with his dark crystal.
