Chapter 702: Why Aren't Humans Coming?
"It shouldn't be possible, even the Great Lich at the peak of the Legend can't launch this kind of natural disaster that can affect the entire continent in advance. Muria comforted herself in her heart.
If it was really because of him that the natural disaster broke out two hundred years earlier, then he would really be unable to sit back and relax in the future. Although the outbreak of natural disasters is a predestined thing, the difference between an early outbreak and a timely outbreak is too great.
The entire subcontinent is completely unprepared for a sudden natural disaster, and it is hard to imagine how many people will die.
"Your Highness is merciful," the cardinal's face suddenly brightened when he heard that Muria had agreed, the most good news he had heard since he knew that the catastrophe was about to erupt.
Because when he asked for support from some legends he knew from other continents, most of them rejected him, to be honest, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that the natural disaster that broke out in Obisto this time is too unusual, it broke out two hundred years early, which is unprecedented, there is absolutely a problem, if it is not necessary, no one will come to this troubled water for a little benefit.
After all, it is not easy for everyone to be able to cultivate to a legend alive, and it is impossible to risk their lives for some resources that can increase their cultivation, that is too brain-dead, right? No matter what kind of resources and treasures, you must have a life to enjoy.
Therefore, unless there is a particularly good friendship, otherwise, it will be difficult for the Obisdos continent to invite support from the outside world this time, and the legends who are willing to stay in Orbis many times are because this is their hometown, or there are other interests involved, otherwise, there will be many legends who will avoid it. The world is so big, there are so many places to hide.
"This is my advance payment to Your Highness, if you can save more humans and protect more cities, we have more in return. ”
After receiving an accurate reply from Muria, the cardinal archbishop gave Muria a coordinate directly.
"What is this?" Muria looked at the coordinates with some confusion, according to the coordinates, this place was not far from his location.
"Your Highness, this is a large elemental crystal vein that we have just discovered, and if nothing else, its crystal content can reach 500 million cubic meters. Cardinal Archbishop said with a smile, for an existence with dragon blood, what to give away is something that does not need to be thought about at all.
"In that case, then I'll take it. Muria didn't shirk it, and just accepted it, in this world, humility is not a virtue.
Seeing Muria take it, the cardinal archbishop had a reassuring smile on his face, and then turned to leave, he didn't need this highness to swear to him or anything, with such a noble bloodline existence, he would never lie, if he agreed, he would definitely do it.
As soon as Muria agreed, he began to send his army of giants, piloting the floating ship and began to parade around Sinapus to help the local forces suppress the entrance to the cave of the dead.
......
"Fireball Preparation!"
On the battlefield shrouded in gray mist, the general in charge of the town raised his saber in his hand and shouted loudly, his eyes fixed on the tide of skeletons who came out of the cave of the dead and charged at his legion under the cover of gray mist.
Because of the existence of the Legion of Guards, the undead who rushed out of the undead cave were the first to attack them, and the flesh and soul of the living had an irresistible temptation for these necromancers.
"Attack!" At the sound of an order, dozens of fireballs barely lined up, smashed into the skull nest that was about to rush into the military formation, and then exploded with a bang, the flames filled the air, and burned the hundreds of skeletons at the front to charcoal.
Seeing this scene, the general frowned, this kind of injury was far from what he expected, turned his head to look at the dozen or so mages in the legion, saw their pale faces, and the pile of empty potion bottles under their feet, and didn't say anything.
"Prepare for shield battle! Prepare for spearmen!" the general's face showed a look of determination, and he waved his saber down, looking at the skeletons rushing up from the slope below, and issued a new command.
The location where they garrisoned the legion was deliberately chosen, with the entrance to the cave of the undead below, and the undead had to run over a slope if they wanted to rush up, and although these terrains could not reduce the stamina of the undead at all, they could reduce their impact slightly.
"Kill!" Soon, the garrison corps made contact with the skeletons that rushed out, and the soldiers at the front formed a temporary wall with the tower shield to block the skeletons' charge, and the soldiers in the second row held spears with primary evolution runes attached to them and pierced out from between the gaps in the shields, but unfortunately there was only one soul fire vital to fight them, and the strengthened undead were useless in attacking places outside the vital point.
Soon, more skeletons in the rear stepped on their own bodies to get past the first row of soldiers and pounce into the formation, wielding the bone swords derived from their hands to engage in the fiercest white-knuckle combat with the human soldiers.
Catalyzed by death, the skeletons are like soldiers in armor, and there are almost no weaknesses in their bodies, they know no fatigue, no fear, and never retreat.
"Don't be afraid, don't think about running away, think about the family behind us. In this melee combat in which humans basically did not have any advantage, some soldiers couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts, and had the intention of escaping, seeing this scene, the leading general hurriedly shouted, wanting to re-boost morale.
But in the face of death, words pale in comparison, and only a small number of soldiers, encouraged by the general, regained their courage, while most of the soldiers who wanted to desert continued to retreat.
"Overseer the war, all those who flee are killed!" With the general's order, a group of murderous strong men with machetes stood out at the rear of the legion, carrying knives and mercilessly slashing at those humans who wanted to retreat.
Seeing these murderous Overseers, the deserters were driven back like sheep, and the Overseers did not chase after them, because it was the undead who fought them.
The battlefield was almost one-sided, and after holding out for less than an hour, the humans were completely defeated, and even the last Overseer to crush the battle was charged up at the order of the Legion Commander.
In fact, if it weren't for the gold-level legion leader's hard work, the human town legion would have been defeated long ago.
"The Konoha Army is finished. Looking around, there were all the undead who could not be killed, there were not many people standing with him anymore, and there were hardly many familiar faces left.
"What about reinforcements, why haven't there been reinforcements yet?" the general shouted with some grief and indignation, in this war, he had been holding out here for an hour, but until now, the cities in the rear had not gathered troops to support them.
What the legion commander didn't know, because of this sudden change, the city lord in the rear had already opened the city's defense array, and was hiding in the city shivering, and he even refused the request for cavalry to enter the city.
"Boom!" A thick blue-white thunderbolt fell from the sky, instantly sweeping away the sea of skeletons around the general. Then the roars of some massive beasts rang out in the sky.
Almost crushed by the skeletons, the legion commander gave up struggling, and looked up at the gray mist sky above, and he saw a giant riding a giant roc, surrounded by thunder, like a legendary god.
The armored, purple-skinned giant descended from the sky with a spear condensed by thunder, followed by twenty dead snow-white giants, surrounded by a flock of griffons nearly four times as large as in number.
"Reinforcements are finally available!" A thunder spear landed directly above the Legion Leader, and exploded in an instant, and the Thunder Spear with terrifying power exploded, turning into a chain of lightning that blew all the skeleton undead pressed on the Legion Leader into bones.
The legion leader staggered to his feet, and when he looked around, all the undead had been swept away, and besides him, there were less than ten people left in the legion he commanded.
"Why is it not humans, but a group of giants?" Seeing the mighty giants in the sky, the legion leader couldn't help but clench his fists, and a sense of grief and indignation rose in his heart.
After seeing these sad humans, these giants who suddenly came and saved mankind lost interest in even falling down and exchanging words, and left straight away......
