Chapter 42: The Raid

Under the cover of darkness for the last half hour before dawn, the team quickly crossed the Forsaken's warning range and came to a halt on a hillside less than six hundred meters away.

Due to the proximity, you can even clearly observe the movement in the camp from above, especially the large stitched abomination, which is as conspicuous as a torch in the middle of the night.

As one of the most powerful classes in the undead army, its entire body is stitched together from a variety of corpses, with the only difference being that some of the abominations are infused with souls, while others are soulless and powered entirely by spiritism.

The former has independent consciousness and thinking ability, can make subjective judgments according to orders, and some of the suture haters with relatively high intelligence can even become the commander of the army.

However, the latter is closer to biological golems, and once the controller is killed, they will be stupidly frozen in place, or carry out the last order given, belonging to the role of meat shield, high-level cannon fodder, etc.

According to Zhang Cheng's understanding, most of the Forsaken's suturing abominations were made by the Royal Apothecary Guild, so the presence of an abomination in the camp meant that eighty percent of the abominants were also nearby.

As for whether this abomination is an intelligent or a mere puppet, it is impossible to tell from its appearance alone.

He planned to wait a moment for the attack to be carried out, and let the Arcane Golems solve this big problem, otherwise it would be a terrible massacre once the abomination of terror was sewn together.

As a fairly self-aware person, Zhang Cheng never felt that he could command an army well without practical experience, so he generously delegated power to Al.

This old man, who had experienced two orc wars, did not talk nonsense, first ordered the guards to enter the assault position, and then immediately asked the mages to start preparing for the summoning ceremony, and in just ten minutes, a dark cloud enveloped the entire camp of the enemy.

If it's daytime, the Forsaken will be able to spot the anomaly overhead right away.

Unfortunately, it was in the final darkness before sunrise, and there was not even a hint of starlight, so even if someone looked up occasionally, it would not be easy to tell.

With the first light appearing in the sky, the captain of the guard, Al Cheng, walked in front of Zhang Cheng with heavy steps, and said in a rather relaxed tone: "Your Excellency, everything is ready, please give the order to attack." If all goes well, we can still catch up for a hot breakfast. ”

"Oh, are you still in the mood to think about breakfast?" Zhang Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He really couldn't understand why the other party could still act so calm when the battle was about to start, as if he was going to complete a simple job, instead of risking his life to kill the enemy.

"Hahahaha! Why not? I've fought countless battles, and guess what truth I've learned from those battles?" Al asked with a laugh.

"What is it?"

On the battlefield, the more nervous and frightened people are, the faster they tend to die. On the contrary, the more relaxed and fearless people are, they can often survive one bad battle after another. I'm a warrior, and a warrior has always trusted his instincts, and now my instincts tell me that it's going to be an easy fight, so instead of worrying about the outcome, I'd better think about breakfast. After all, after a night of walking, my stomach was already rumbling with hunger. With that, Al patted his stomach lightly, implying that the Forsaken were less dangerous than hungry.

Obviously, his almost contemptuous attitude greatly boosted morale, at least the guards who were still a little nervous couldn't help but crack their mouths and snicker.

Zhang Cheng was not a fool, and immediately realized that the old guy in front of him seemed to be using some kind of psychological tactic, and hurriedly smiled and cooperated: "In that case, then hurry up and attack, I just know that the pork pie in the town tastes good, if you can complete the task before the sun fully rises, I will treat everyone to a full meal." And, of course, delicious wines. ”

"Do you all hear me, crush the enemy camp before the sun fully rises!Don't let the delicious pies and wine fly!" Al shouted as he drew his sword and mounted his horse to join the assault.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhang Cheng directly ordered the mages behind him: "Release it, let these living dead understand what will happen if they anger the Kenrito Council." ”

"As you wish...... a male mage in his mid-thirties bent down and bowed, then raised his hands in the air, channeling arcane energy with his consciousness, pouring into the dark clouds in the sky.

In less than three or five seconds, hailstones the size of a basketball rained down from the sky and struck a blanket blow at the Forsaken's camp.

Bang!bang!bang......

With a crackling sound, the undead, who had not yet figured out what was happening, were knocked to the ground by the heavy ice mounds, some of their limbs were broken, and some of them were shattered and their skulls were shattered and died on the spot.

All of a sudden, each of the Forsaken was desperately searching for cover, trying to dodge the dense hail attack.

In the midst of this confusion, in the tent in the center of the camp, suddenly several staff men stepped out, shouting in a language that the living could not understand, and in the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty Forsaken soldiers gathered and raised their shields against the hail falling from the sky.

"The enemy mages and priests have appeared!on!kill them for me!" Al roared as he whipped his mount with his leather whip and led the guards out.

Along with them, there are two large arcane golems.

Dozens of galloping horses and heavy arcane golems suddenly caused the ground to shake violently, which also made the undead realize that they had been attacked by the enemy, and quickly took up weapons and prepared to resist desperately.

But it's a pity that they are scattered in formation, where can they withstand the terrifying impact of the arcane puppet.

The soldiers who tried to block the entrance to the camp with four or five gesture shields were directly knocked out by the fist of the arcane puppet sandbag, and finally lay upright on the ground motionless.

You don't have to ask to know that you must be dead......

With the steely body of an arcane golem, it's hard for a normal weapon to actually damage the power core that's heavily protected.

They cleared all obstacles in their path, clearing the way for the guards who followed.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer to him, the Forsaken led by him immediately waved his arms vigorously and shouted, as if talking to someone.

After only two or three seconds, Stitch Abomination, who had been standing motionless, suddenly unleashed a thick iron chain and slammed around the lower limbs of one of the arcane golems, dragging it to the ground......
