Chapter 274: Shadow of War
"It's... This..."Seeing the undead wreaking havoc in the city, even if they were as clever as Jack, they stammered. Unlike before, this time the undead dispatched a real army, and it was a cavalry.
Not to mention that these pirates who are begging for a living at sea, even the regular Royal Navy, have not really seen the cavalry troops. The vast sea cannot be conquered by a horse's hooves.
However, the Isle of Shadows did send a cavalry force, and hundreds of undead rode on tall horses, twice as tall as the enemy pirates. These war horses have long since lost the breath of life, and their empty eyes flicker with ghostly fire.
The leader is a tall centaur with a burly humanoid upper body and a horse's lower body. Hekarim, the shadow of war, was once a proud knight in his lifetime, but after his death, he became one with the war horses he fought together, and became the undead knight feared by everyone, the power of Shadow Island.
The pirates' makeshift defensive line crumbled under the onslaught of the undead cavalry. For them, the buildings of Bilgewater are dilapidated and fragile, and with the body of the horse under their crotch and the kinetic energy given by the charge, the Iron Rider is invincible everywhere he goes.
Miss Doom and Planck organized the scattered pirates and built a position to resist the cavalry charge around themselves. The cavalry was unable to break up the last remaining but strong of our position, and often men and horses were shattered by projectiles on the way to the charge. Seeing that his subordinates' attacks were frustrated, Hekarim, who had been watching the play, made a move.
"Frightened!" its hooves staggered, and the distance of 100 meters was instantly crossed by it. "it!" said Miss Doom, firing her guns in quick succession, but the projectiles couldn't penetrate Hecarim's armor. Its charge seemed to have an afterimage, and in the blink of an eye it was in our position.
The moment it leapt into the crowd, I felt a sense of unwarranted fear in my heart, desperate to escape Hekarim. Ordinary pirates were even more unbearable, one by one they were so frightened that they became incontinent and sat on the ground. Hecarim wielded his long axe, bringing a storm of blood among the pirates.
I quickly got rid of the fear debuff that Hecarim had imposed on me with my superhuman constitution attribute, but on the other hand, Sun Jie was not so lucky. After Hecarim swept away the pirates around him, he aimed directly at Sun Jie. And Sun Jie couldn't control himself, so he could only sit on the ground and watch Hecarim rush towards him.
"One report and one report!" Sun Jie saved me once before, and now I couldn't sit idly by, so I immediately rushed forward to block Hecarim's devastating charge for him. The monstrous armor on its chest made close contact with me, and I was directly knocked out by it with all its might, and I couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood in the air.
"Face death!" Hecarim stood still in front of me, raising his horse's hooves and stomping towards me. By this time, the rest of its undead cavalry had already rushed in, and the others were too busy to spare their hands to save me. I was in a stiff state of being knocked off, unable to dodge, and was stomped in the chest.
"After the reduction is settled, you take 193 points of physical damage, this attack will kill you, and the skill Undead Legend is activated, and this attack is invalid against you. ”
Luckily, Hecarim's damage was high enough that I was left with 185 HP after blocking it in one charge, just in time for the Undead Legend trigger. If the damage of this hoof of it were a little lower, leaving me with a dozen health, it would be very uncomfortable.
"You're stronger than you look. "I didn't get crushed in the chest by a horse's hoof, which Hekarim didn't expect. But it didn't care, and then swung his axe to give me another blow. "Flash!" I used my skills to break free from the horse's hooves and onto Hecarim's back.
"Sine!" Although the experience of riding a horse is indeed new, I believe that Hecarim will never be willing to use me as a mount, so I immediately seized the opportunity to stab the blue sword into the back of the heart of the upper body of the Hecarim form. Its armor was good enough to stop Miss Doom's projectiles, but it was no match for the sharp Blue Sword.
"Roar!" Hecarim roared, having not been so offended by a living person since becoming an undead. It jerked like a crazy horse, I didn't have a point on its back, and it didn't last long before I was thrown to the ground. Yunnan
"Die!" Hecarim roared, and it turned around and charged at me once more. I hurriedly took out the dark energy and threw it at it, and the explosion of darkness caused Hecarim to stagger, buying me time to distance myself.
"Hey, I need help!" I yelled, the Hecarim in front of me was a hero-level existence after all, and I was not confident that I could fight it alone. But all around me were whizzing by undead cavalry, and my voice was buried in the sounds of fighting and screaming.
"I will give your soul to Hammerstone, which knows torture better than I do. Hecarim slowed the pace of his attack, and as he spoke, a faint blue glow rippled around him, and both the undead cavalry and the surviving pirates around him gradually withered and eventually fell to the ground. Hecarim absorbed their life force to heal his injuries. The wound in the back of its heart had even healed, and only the crack in its armor proved the existence of my previous attack.
"Hammerstone's lantern is broken, it can't collect souls!" I yelled. It seems that no one is paying attention to me, and now I can only rely on myself. "Then I'll crush your soul!" Hekarim charged at me again.
Instead of waiting for reinforcements, I gave it time to regain its life, and now I had to swallow the bitter fruit alone, facing the shadow of war in an almost full state. I raised my sword horizontally to block its slashing blade, and the tremendous force made me retreat again and again. Hecarim didn't give me time to adjust, and attacked one after another until he cornered me.
"It's over!" Hecarim saw that I had no way out, and immediately raised his front hooves and slashed at me with all his might. "Yes, it's over!" Although its execution was handsome, I saw flaws.
I held the wall behind me with my left hand and slid forward, retracting from Hecarim's body, dodging its axe blade, and the wall behind me was shattered in my place. With my sword in my right hand, I slashed straight at the right time, severing both of Hecarim's hind hooves.
Hecarim instantly lost his balance and fell to the ground. I was unlucky under it, and I was smashed right by it. Hecarim weighed half a ton even with his armor, and he directly took away more than a hundred of my health.
My head was buried under Hekarim's horse's belly, and I couldn't see anything, but fortunately, my right hand was not restricted, and I immediately thrust into my body. At that moment, a gunshot rang out, and I felt the centaur stop moving, and then Hecarim's body was pushed away, and Jack lifted me from the ground.
"Oh, Suling, Captain Jack Sparrow won't give up on any of his crew!" said Jack, who thought he had saved my life. He was sweating profusely, and he was obviously in a hurry to save me.
"The most... You fired the last shot?" I shuddered. "Yes. Jack blew the muzzle of the gun. "This guy has solid armor, but I'm smart enough to stick the muzzle of my gun into its eye socket before firing. "WDNMD!" I was mad, "you pay me some rolls!"
As one of the heroes, Hecarim is estimated to be a boss-level existence, which represents 3000 points and a high-level treasure chest! I fought with it for a long time, and finally gained the upper hand, but I was robbed of the head by the NPC Jack, I really can't say it.
"Huh?" Jack was frightened by my attitude, and hurriedly joined the other battle without saying a word. "Forget it, he's also kind..."I was very helpless, and I threw the fact that Jack was also a boss level out of my mind. "I'm lucky, I'm sorry!" I said, taking one last look at Hecarim's corpse, gritting my teeth and stomping my foot.
After the loss of Hecarim, the threat of the undead cavalry is greatly reduced, and they cannot contain the private forces of Bilgewater under the leadership of the legendary pirates, but the pirates are also unable to keep up with them. When the first rays of dawn fell, Bilgewater returned to calm, and the undead who had been haunting the night retreated as if they had never been there at all.
But the devastation and corpses everywhere prove that what happened last night was not a dream.
