Chapter 171: Lady with a Light Sigh (96)
"Ma'am, your skeleton is simply amazing!" Even though I was standing on the top of the hill and Shen Lin was only at the bottom of the hill, I could still hear the slightly adoring voice coming from Shen Lin. I smiled helplessly, she only saw the surface of the skeletons, but not the huge amount of energy I wasted trying to summon them.
One thing to admit, my skeletons do look like they're getting more powerful. Actually, at first, I just had the luck to summon these skeletons, but what I didn't expect was that I would be able to summon so many skeletons at once, and if you look at the number, there are probably more than a thousand. It was a surprise to me that I didn't summon as many skeletons as I wanted. This time it was a pleasant surprise, especially since some of the skeletons were significantly larger than normal skeletons and equipped with armor. I don't know if these skeletons with armor had them before they died, but I do think they certainly didn't have them before. Otherwise, how could it be that the armor of hundreds of skeletons equipped with armor was the same? Could it be that after I summoned them, they formed naturally? Well, if that's the case, that's fine.
Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any remnants of ancient behemoths in this area, so I didn't succeed in summoning the same behemoths as before, which makes me feel a little sorry, but having them would have greatly improved our combat effectiveness. Of course, it's already very good now, well, at least we can reduce the losses of those Denomah Empire soldiers as much as possible, and ensure our combat effectiveness, so that it is possible to hold out for a longer time, until Sir Scar's home force comes to support us. I'm not stupid, I know it's impossible to survive such a large army of apostles with these soldiers alone.
When more than a thousand skeletons were entangled with the apostolic cavalry that had rushed to the front, we could hear nothing but the sound of them colliding with each other. It was a silent war, and the shoe apostle cavalry didn't make a sound even when they charged, and the skeleton soldiers didn't make any sound other than their bones and armor clashing against each other as they moved. This is a silent war.
But such a scene can still suffocate the soldiers of the Denomah Empire. While witnessing the battle between the skeletons and the apostolic cavalry, they also wondered how they would die if they were to fight against those apostle cavalry. If you were to face the charging apostolic cavalry like this, what other result could there be than being killed? No, no, no, not at all. The difference is only how you get killed. Will you be killed by the charging apostolic cavalry, or will you be bitten alive by the fierce mounts? Perhaps, dying under the swords of those apostolic cavalry is the most painful way to die. And the worst way to die may be to be captured by those apostolic cavalry and brought back to the apostolic world as a slave, because of exhaustion of physical strength and being crushed to death by the apostles. It's hard, it's hard, it's very hard.
In this silent battle, it's hard to tell which side of the Apostle Cavalry or the Skeleton Warriors will have the upper hand. In terms of numbers, the skeleton warriors were at least twice as numerous as the Apostle cavalry in the hundreds. Because there should be more than a thousand skeleton warriors, and there are hundreds of skeleton warriors equipped with armor alone. In addition, although the mobility of these apostle cavalry is very strong, these skeletons do not rush directly towards them, but suddenly emerge from various positions on the battlefield, compared to the apostle cavalry without displacement skills, these skeleton warriors highlight what is called mobility. In the surprise attack, these skeleton soldiers had the upper hand. Even more surprising to me was the fact that some of the skeleton soldiers were even larger than the apostle cavalry, which was quite surprising.
But the skeleton warriors only seem to have an advantage on these two points. As for the offensive ability, defensive ability, as well as the wisdom and coordination of the battle, these skeleton soldiers are far from being able to match the apostle cavalry. Although these skeleton warriors who suddenly appeared had a surprise effect, the fate of those unlucky skeletons who suddenly appeared in front of the apostle cavalry was very tragic. After waking up from their deep sleep, they were forced to go back underground again before they could figure out what was going on. It's just that after this time, they can't wake up again.
The silent battle lasted about ten minutes, and with the cooperation of the archers and magicians, the apostle cavalry was largely killed. But it was not all extinguished. None of the skeleton warriors survived.
I don't feel any distress about the total annihilation of these skeleton warriors, after all, they are just a kind of consumables summoned by me, even if this kind of consumables are summoned, I will not feel the slightest distress because of their losses, at most I will feel sorry for the excess energy I wasted because of summoning them. But now the result makes me feel a little dissatisfied, why these skeleton soldiers have become stronger than before, but why have they not eliminated these cavalry? You know, these cavalry are far away from the main position of the apostolic army that attacked us, and have become a lone army deep into the enemy without any protection. But even with the cooperation of the archers and magicians, they were only killed and wounded, and the ownerless beasts became even more ferocious because they were not bound by their masters. They were only a dozen steps away from us, and I didn't have to think about it to know what it would be like for the soldiers of the Denoma Empire to face these remnants of more than a hundred cavalry and dozens of ownerless beasts. Perhaps, they will feel despair, that deep despair.
The archers were relocated to the second line one after another to rest. Because after all, at such a close distance, they simply have no way to play to their advantages. And the apostolic army is not just these skeleton cavalry, behind them, there must be a larger army, but it was just thrown away by this cavalry using the advantage of speed. Perhaps, these apostolic cavalry were worried that other armies would compete with them for military merit. I sneered, don't they know that it is because of their behavior that they have bought us a chance to breathe? And once we deal with these apostolic cavalry, the other armies of the apostles that move relatively slowly will actually be much easier to deal with. It is not impossible that we can even destroy these apostolic armies ourselves! As long as we can now kill the apostolic cavalry that is close to us before the soldiers of the Denomah Empire have a mental breakdown, then we have a good chance of doing it!
"Listen to Gu's order, the heavy armored soldiers stick to the formation, and the anti-cavalry troops stabilize the formation, and they can't help but take a step back! Cavalry, advance in a roundabout way, and launch a surprise attack on them from the enemy's rear!" The Tiger King's name for these soldiers made me a little confused for a while, but his tactics seemed to be very correct. At the bottom of the hill on which he held should have been the place where the apostolic cavalry was most numerous.
In this regard, I commanded: "Magician, give support to the Tiger King, especially the ownerless mounts of the Apostle Cavalry, we must defeat them as soon as possible." In addition, archers can give some appropriate attacks, and if they think that the range is too close to shoot, they can rest on the spot. ”
Then, the magicians' magic rained down from the top of the hill towards the area where the Tiger King was holding. In order to avoid accidental injury, the mages moved their attack area to the rear of the apostle cavalry as much as possible. That way, you won't hurt the soldiers of the Denoma Empire. Fortunately, those heavily armored soldiers who were at the forefront had to admire the strength of the Denoma Empire here, because they seemed to take into account the lethality of magic, so the armor and shields given to these heavy armor soldiers were blessed with a special material to resist magic, and ordinary small magic would not have any lethal effect on them at all. Of course, they are also automatically immune to some buff spells.
With these heavily armored soldiers, I don't worry much about the apostolic cavalry. On the contrary, those ownerless murderers are the real enemies of the soldiers, once the master is dead, then they can control their behavior at will. It seems that these beasts must be harnessed, as I have found several times that the ownerless beasts have taken aim at their companions and other apostolic cavalry after being freed, and have caused some damage. But there were still many ownerless beasts that crossed the line of heavy infantry and rushed into the formation of the soldiers. For a while, the howls continued, and many soldiers were gnawed by those fierce beasts, and some poor soldiers were even bitten by those fierce beasts, and many soldiers became incomplete.
At this most critical moment, the Tiger King let out an earth-shattering roar, accompanied by a roar that shook the sky, many fierce beasts inexplicably did not make any movements, some fierce beasts lay on the ground and hugged their heads with their front paws, and some fierce beasts turned their heads and ran away regardless of the owners on their backs. What's going on?
The Tiger King didn't have the time or the time to answer my doubts, but after roaring angrily, he quickly rushed into the formation of those apostle cavalry, and every claw blow of his, every bite, and even every sweep with his tail would put at least one of the apostle cavalry to sleep forever, and those brutal beasts did not even have the courage to resist in front of the Tiger King.
The scene that impressed me the most was that the seven fierce beasts were actually lined up under the slight roar of the Tiger King. After the Tiger King communicated with the soldiers of the Denomah Empire again, seven soldiers armed with spears walked behind the seven fierce beasts lined up. And there were also some fierce beasts around them, and there were some apostle cavalry, but they were all killed by the Tiger King.
At first, the seven soldiers were still a little cowering, after all, this was a fierce beast, and it had already brought them bloody rain just now. But after testing for a while, they found that these fierce beasts didn't make any movement, but instead lay on the ground in unison and trembled.
"Kill them and stab them in the back!" After clearing out the apostolic cavalry that was in the way, the Tiger King ordered: "Listen to the lonely order, prepare to move!"
I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted. yes, isn't this an execution? It's just that the target has changed from other races to these beasts. After the Tiger King's order, a bold soldier shouted, and plunged his spear into the neck of the beast in front of him. To his surprise, the necks of these fierce beasts, which themselves seemed to be covered with strong armor, were so weak that they could not even withstand the attacks of ordinary spears.
After a wail, the beast died. After seeing this scene, the other six soldiers also plucked up their courage and concocted the same method, ending the lives of those fierce beasts. Yes, that's execution.
After ending the lives of these fierce beasts, the seven soldiers returned to the back of the line of defense composed of heavy warriors, because of the Tiger King, the other fierce beasts and apostle cavalry did not even dare to approach them, until they returned to the defense line, the Tiger King returned to the battlefield. And because of him, the morale of the defensive line held by Shen Lin in the other direction has also been greatly boosted.
Later, I remembered that the Tiger King was himself the king of beasts. After a long period of cultivation, the Tiger King was no longer afraid of any beasts except the Dragon Clan. Even if these fierce beasts came from the apostolic world, the tiger king's kingly aura was still able to make those fierce beasts feel terrified. This is the Tiger King, a natural king with hundreds of thousands of long years.
