forty-one
When the warriors of both sides who died on the battlefield were transformed into undead by the sky that temporarily suppressed the opposite archmage, the balance of victory began to tilt. Skeleton shelves or low-level corpse golems that had no fear to speak of rose from the ground and charged at the abyssal species at the Lich's command. The pressure on the Minotaur's defensive line was relaxed for a while. The morale of the Minotaur side was immediately boosted, and they cooperated with those skeleton shelves and corpse golems to charge towards the enemy on the opposite side. At the same time, in the camp behind the minotaurs, the kobolds, the cannon fodder soldiers that Guderian had seen, were also released......
Guderian and Natasha also began to join the fray - the lich summoned the undead, and it was impossible for them to remain unmoved as undead minions. The necromancer played by Natasha chased after those skeleton shelves and corpse golems under the guardian of the necromancer played by Guderian, and activated various spell rays towards the retreating abyss team - Natasha has always studied and mastered fire spells, in order to play the necromancer, on the way here, she temporarily learned some low-level necromantic spells within the fifth or sixth ring with Futanulis, and most of these low-level necromantic spells are in the form of rays.
With the changes in the battlefield on the ground, the battle in the sky has also entered a white heat. The two gnome mages were extremely embarrassed by the indiscriminate bombardment from the opposite side, and if it weren't for the superior lich who helped them out of the siege from time to time after summoning the undead, perhaps the two gnome archmages would have been defeated and fled. For a while, the two dwarf mages and the lich, who had been fighting separately, narrowed the distance and followed the lich, but the archmage on the opposite side surrounded them from three directions. From Guderian's vision of looking up from time to time, because of the presence of lichs, although the battle in the sky did not have the advantage, there was no need to worry about losing. It's just that this stalemate did not last long. In the midst of the uncontrollable rout on the ground scene, the Abyss Formation was also joined by a new force, the sound of the rumbling unknown species stomping on the ground as it charged. The centaur array, which maintained a certain defensive formation while retreating, suddenly separated from it and accelerated towards the rear of both sides when the rumble sounded. Where did those unintelligent skeletons and corpse golems catch up with the frantically retreating centaur formation? Losing their target for a while, they charged forward in confusion and inertia. The Minotaur array behind them slowed down the charge for a while, and then stopped to change formations under the command of the team leader, and also retreated frantically. At the same time, the form of the heavens also changed—two more archmages rose into the air on the side of the abyss formation......
Guderian and Natasha didn't know what was charging in those rumbles, but they saw the unusual changes, so Guderian grabbed the floating Natasha and turned and ran wildly behind the retreating minotaur. Where would this be, do you wonder if these minotaurs or drow are surprised that these two undead minions will also be afraid of danger, and thus their identities will be exposed-on the battlefield, the strength of the individual is so small, no matter how powerful a warrior or a mage you are in the midst of a line of charges, once those dense javelins and mounted spears are covered, who will survive?
By the time the minotaurs stopped charging and retreated, the kobolds who had been running wildly from the camp were approaching the edge of the battlefield where they had been fighting. The Minotaur team also split to the left and right to make way for them to charge.
As the rumble drew nearer, Guderian looked back as he ran—a myriad of huge figures appeared in view along with the flying dust, hideous and terrifying in the dark red light behind them.
These huge figures collided with the skeletons and corpse golems that were still rushing forward in the rumble - what centaurs, minotaurs, these are still giant bone frames and corpse golems, and in front of these figures, they were like mantis arms blocking the car and being directly crushed over. Only then did Guderian see that it was a group of gray dwarf knights riding giant lizards nearly five meters high and ten meters long! Smoke and dust rose everywhere the lizards passed, and the skeleton racks and corpse golems either fell apart or became meatloaf. The grey dwarf knights loaded the giant lizards with repeaters slightly smaller than human bed crossbows, and countless two-meter-long crossbow arrows slammed into the sea of the undead with the lizards to cover the retreating minotaur ranks.
Guderian pulled Natasha from the floating air to the ground, turned around and blocked her with his back, wielding his two-handed greatsword to block the dense crossbow arrows that came at him. The impact of those bolts made Guderian's wrists hurt, and one can imagine the fate of the minotaurs who failed to dodge the bolts - wailing everywhere. After Guderian separated the third wave of crossbow arrows, the giant lizards had already passed through half of the sea of the undead, less than half a mile away from Guderian and the Minotaur array. Taking advantage of the interval between the grey dwarf knights' reloading of their crossbow arrows, Guderian pulled the floating Natasha past the minotaur who had been nailed to the ground by the crossbow arrows and accelerated his retreat. At the same time, the kobolds, who Guderian thought were cannon fodder, had crossed the Minotaur ranks and rushed behind the Sea of the Undead.
The battle in the sky was one-sided after the two archmages on the other side joined, and even those as strong as the lich had to give up the rescue of the two dwarf archmages and quickly retreated. Fortunately, the mage group on the ground used the formation to stimulate countless fireballs and seas, so as to stop the abyss mages who were chasing the two gnome archmages for a moment, giving the gnome archmages a chance to breathe and escape. The gnome mages and lichs also took the opportunity to land on the ground and merge into the mage group, but the five archmages of the Abyss Formation did not have the courage to cross the minotaur queue and ignore the Drow arrow formation in pursuit. Guderian and Natasha also returned to the lich at this time.
After countless kobolds were crushed and penetrated by the lizard knights in the sea of the undead, they cast a huge net of flying in groups of three or five, covering their heads and faces to catch the charging lizards and the gray dwarf knights. For a moment, the battlefield was full of fire, along with the roar and wailing of kobolds, the trampling and rolling of giant lizards, and so on, filling the huge sandy plain. At this time, the lizards were forced to stop charging in a row, and the relatively petite but abnormal kobolds wielded the meteor hammers and fought with the lizards and gray dwarves after casting a huge net.
Guderian was dumbfounded, is this okay? I originally thought that these kobolds who were just cannon fodder were just released to slow down the speed of these lizard queues so that the minotaurs had enough time and space to retreat, but I didn't expect it to be such a reversal scene. This made Guderian reevaluate the kobold class. Only then did it turn out that these kobolds were not the same as the ones Guderian saw on the surface defense. Although these kobolds are equally crazy and bloodthirsty, and they are not afraid of death and pain, they have a certain array combination and cooperation, as well as the presence of a commander! This made Guderian frown. If the kobolds in the underground world have a lot of such intelligent structures, then the humans on the surface will be very troublesome.
Shortly after the lizards were in battle with the kobolds, the horns of retreat rang out from the Abyss camp. As the retreat horn of the Abyss formation sounded, the retreating horn sounded in the camp of the Minotaur and Drow. So the crazy kobolds, led by their respective team commanders, gradually separated from the lizard queue, and each other was vigilant and retreated.
The war has come to an end for the time being.
After the lich took Guderian and Natasha back to their camp, the lich was called to the tent. Only Guderian and Natasha were left staring at each other.
"Do you see those kobolds, they're not the same as the ones we've seen in the defensive line. Guderian grabbed Natasha's hand and whispered.
Natasha let Guderian's iron-gloved fingers rub against the back of her hand and said, "Yes. With the base number of kobolds in the underground world, there should be a lot of such establishments. It is also unknown if it has been thrown into the battle on the surface. Natasha shared the same concerns.
"Gotta find a way to get back to the surface as soon as possible. From what we have seen, the underground race will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the abyssal species. They have put all their power into the surface battle, and before this passage is opened by the abyssal species, the Drow King should draw some of the power that has been thrown into the surface to come back. I believe that the commander on the other side of the abyss will also have this realization. Guderian analyzed in a deep voice: "Although the arrival of the master can alleviate the lack of some ground soldiers, the gap between high-end forces and high-level troops is too big. The abyss side should launch a general attack after a few days of testing and attrition. At that time, it is estimated that the reinforcements returning from the surface will also just arrive. If the mage doesn't have a chance to take us back to the surface, we'll have to take advantage of that big battle to leave. ”
Natasha withdrew Guderian's hand, leaned on Guderian's chest and said, "Well, I'll go wherever you go." ”
If anyone saw this scene, they didn't know how they would feel—a necromancer servant in a cloak and hood, and an undead warrior servant with a two-handed sword on his back, snuggling up to each other. From a human point of view, it may be seen as a pair of lovers who are inseparable from life and death, and they still remain in the form of an undead after death, or it may be a necromancer who transforms him into an undead warrior in order to stay with his lover......
In the silence of the two, the lich returned.
Fortan Ullis opened the tent curtain and came in to see the sight of the man-woman as soon as he could.
(Note: I didn't mean to do these dog abuse chapters...... Actually, I'm also a single dog, but for the sake of the protagonist's happiness, I can't be selfish!)
"Surface reinforcements will arrive in five days, and then a decisive battle with the Abyss will drive them back. Fortan Ulis said.
After Guderian and Natasha looked at each other, Guderian told the lich about his previous guesses and thoughts.
"Good. During this time, I will find a suitable opportunity to give you an excuse to cover. Before the end of this war, or after the end of this war, I guess there will be no way to get the task of going to the surface. Fortan Ulis said.
"Thank you, Master. Guderian and Natasha bowed solemnly to the lich.
The lich shook his head, sighed, said nothing, and turned to go out again.
