Chapter 15: The High Lich's Hole Cards
In front of Marcus, the tide of those high-level skeletons gathered was surging, and for a while there was a white expanse in front of him, and the momentum of this skeleton wave was quite amazing.
Marcus seems to have turned a blind eye to this, and instead slowed his horse down. It's just that Kuru, the skeleton mage who had already flown above his head, looked at the mighty tide of skeletons in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little cold in his skull - note: the cold skull of the skeleton is the same as the numbness of the human scalp.
"Wow, this should be tens of thousands, right? Where did the dead lich get so many garbage skeletons? The big-headed skeleton mage had just held back for a long time without speaking, but now he couldn't help but scream.
The glint in the eye hole on the mask of Marcus's helmet flickered slightly, and it seemed to bring out a sneer. Needless to say, this high-level lich Ladd must have driven all the high-level skeletons within a radius of thousands of miles. The lich's reputation for cowardice and fear of death is well deserved.
Ignoring Kuru's shouting overhead, at this time, as Marcus's horse slowed down, the thirteen black knights lined up behind him had already ridden after him. Marcus didn't speak, but raised the spear in his hand high, and the tip of the spear quickly drew a narrow triangle in the sky.
The thirteen black knights behind him seemed to immediately understand Marcus's instructions, and the two wings of the queue that were originally side by side immediately slowed down and moved closer to the middle, while the black knights in the center still maintained their speed, and rushed forward with Marcus in front of them.
Almost instantly, the formation of the thirteen black knights, which had been lined up side by side, immediately turned into an arrow-shaped assault array with the center convex forward, the wings pulled back, and Marcus as the forward arrow.
Just as the knight formation was formed, the skull tide surging in front of them had already surged to ......
There was a crackling explosion, and the skeletons at the front had already collided head-on with the horses under the crotch of Marcus, who was rushing forward. How can these skeleton cannon fodder with fragile bodies compare to this high-level undead war horse that rushed up. This hard-top collision is completely like an egg hitting a stone.
When the broken bones were thrown away, the dense and turbulent skull tide in front of them seemed to hit the waves on the reef, and more than a dozen skeletons instantly shattered and scattered like splashing waves......
The collision of the skeletons also seemed to stimulate the ferocity of the undead war horse under Marcus's crotch, and the forward rush became more and more vigorous as the four hooves flew over. Everywhere I went, the skeleton was shattered, and the broken bones flew sideways. As the more and more dense continuous impact sounded, the collision of this skull tide not only failed to stop the momentum of the war horse, but the speed of the war horse in the skull wave became faster and faster.
The arrow formation formed by the thirteen knights who followed closely behind Marcus's horse also gradually rose at a speed and did not pull half a step under the leadership of Marcus.
Since Marcus was already smashing into the gap in the skeleton group in front, the knight queue following behind was only following the impact, which was much easier. The skeletons that were squeezed to the sides couldn't stop the black knights' line charge.
With Marcus as the arrow, the thirteen black knights formed a thick arrow, and the huge arrow that shot forward was as easy as shooting into a piece of tofu, and pierced directly into the tide formed by the skeleton......
The wave formed by the skeleton apparently did not hinder the huge arrow in the slightest. Broken bones splashed all the way, but the piercing of this huge arrow became faster and faster. At this rate, it would take almost a moment for the arrow to penetrate the wave of skeletons completely.
It seems that in the face of the skeleton cannon fodder attrition tactics used by the high-level lich Ladd, Marcus simply used this chiseling tactic of arrow queue assault to deal with it. And his goal was always on the High Lich Ladd.
Having retreated to the Mountain of Bones, the high-ranking Lich Ladd, who was at the back of the line of skeleton warriors, was flying high in the air to watch the battle. Seeing that the Grim Reaper Knight Marcus was only leading thirteen black knights, it was very easy to break through the obstacles of the skeleton cannon fodder.
But is he really planning to attack my descendants directly with only these thirteen black knights? The red light in the eyes of the high-ranking lich Ladd, hidden in the shadow of the cloak, flickered rapidly, as if he was struggling to ponder the true intentions of this Death Knight Marcus.
This Marcus is just a mid-level Death Knight, and if he really wants to let go of the fight, Rad is really not afraid of him. After all, he is a high-level lich, as long as he has the protection of his descendants and does not let him get close, then he can almost be said to be invincible.
But Marcus didn't look like a fool either, knowing how could he rush over with only such a few knights? Well, there must be a problem......
The always cunning and wise high-ranking lich Rad suddenly became alert, and the red light in his eyes immediately brightened, and after careful inspection, he quickly turned his attention to Kuru, who had been flying above the head of the Death Knight Marcus.
Originally, the high-ranking Lich Ladd had always thought that Nakuru was just a member of the Blood Skeletons, a direct unit under the command of the Lich King. Because those blood skeletons also have a pair of wide bat wings and fly extremely fast, they are often used by the higher-ups as their own heralds.
It's no wonder that the high-ranking lich Ladd was mistaken. Because this blood skeleton is an undead creature refined by a great lich king in the undead world in the style of a skeleton mage. In other words, the Blood Skull is not an original creature in this undead realm, but a new species refined by a Lich King. Later, this method of refining blood skeletons spread among the undead world, and became the exclusive class of most high-level undead lich and lich kings.
This blood skeleton was originally refined in imitation of the appearance of a skeleton mage, and naturally it was somewhat similar to the skeleton mages.
In fact, the reason why this kind of blood skeleton is refined is also because the skeleton mages born naturally in this undead world are too rare. And the Blood Skeleton that the Lich King had refined still didn't have the spell-casting abilities of the Skeleton Mage. It can also be said that this blood skeleton is a failed imitation. It's just that the Blood Skull itself flies extremely fast, and its attack power is not weak, so it can be regarded as a new class added by accident.
Looking at Kuru's extraordinarily large head and the dark blue soul light in its eyes, which was distinctly different from those blood skeletons, the high-ranking lich Rad immediately confirmed his guess. No wonder this Grim Reaper Knight Marcus dared to break through with only thirteen black knights, but it turned out that he didn't know where to find a skeleton mage as a helper. Do you want to surprise yourself?
A flash of red light flashed in the cave, and the high-ranking lich Ladd, shrouded in a wide cloak, let out a low, eerie giggle, "Come on, come on." Let me see what is so powerful about this skeleton mage, who claims to be the most cherished undead creature in the undead world. ”
That being said, it was only natural that this high-ranking lich, who was known for his cowardice and sacrificed his life, would not do anything stupid.
I saw him stretch out a pair of miserable white bone claws from under the wide cloak, and with a slight fluctuation in the shadow of his face under the cloak, a few subtle black lights suddenly flashed on the tips of the bone claws. With a slight swipe of the bone claw in the void in front of him, a circle of thin black light formed by a circle of light immediately appeared in midair.
As the fluctuations emanating from the direction of Rad's face shrouded in the shadow of the cloak became clearer and more intense, the fluctuations like a silent spell seemed to affect the black aperture immediately. The aperture began to flicker, and a little pitch-black shadow began to appear in the center of the aperture, and then the shadow spread rapidly, quickly filling the entire aperture.
Ladd suddenly let out a low cry: "Your Excellency Denis, come out!" As his miserable white bone claws slammed into the center of the black aperture in front of him.
The aperture suddenly began to shake violently under this action of grabbing in the air, and only a few breaths later, a thick cloud of black smoke erupted violently from the central shadow of the aperture. As soon as the black smoke was exhaled, the black aperture had already collapsed and completely dissipated in mid-air.
And the black smoke that was spit out quickly dissipated, and it was in this cloud of black smoke that a figure also wearing a gray cloak was revealed. However, this figure is also shrouded in a cloak and seems to be a little thinner than Rad's.
"Ahem, Ladd, it's only been less than two years, right? Why did you summon me out of the lair of death at the bottom of this mountain of bones? Don't forget, you took me three Soul Eaters and promised me to suck three years of dead air in this dead air lair! ”
The thin figure who had just emerged from the black smoke seemed to have a bit of resentment in his words, and his voice was dry and hoarse, and it was not much better than that of Zrad's.
"Quack, Lord Denis, everyone else is calling the door, of course I will give you a timely notice. lest you be stuck in that dead nest and cleaned up. ”
The thin figure under the cloak flashed a reddish light in the eyes of the thin figure Deni Meng, and said with a low smile: "I said, it turns out that His Excellency Ladd needs help, right?" This is easy to do, and the price of asking me to help is not high, you can just give me a Soul Eater Grass. ”
"Quack, Lord Denis. This enemy is not coming at me alone. They were all the Lich King's troops. Do you think they'll let you go if you don't make a move? ”
"What? Damn it! …… Is the Lich King about to launch so soon? …… Sir Ladd, if you agree to let me stay in this underground lair for another half year, I will agree to help you with all my might. How is it? …… Half! It only takes me half a year to be promoted to the intermediate lich. I think you're going to need my help in this upcoming battle, aren't you? ”
The Denis Lich had apparently suddenly become a little agitated when he heard the news that the enemy was belonging to the Lich King's troops, and his voice was also very hurried, as if he was a little anxious and a little urgent.
