Northland Storm Chapter 26 Snowballing

"Holy Light! What kind of monster is that?"

"Stand up for me! We're all going to die if we don't form a formation!"

"No, don't! Mom—"

"Damn it, move, move, my feet ......"

With the sudden appearance of Anubrak, the towering size of the mountain completely disrupted the rear formation of recruits and militiamen who were not very experienced in the first place, and Anubarak seemed to move leisurely, like a god of death in front of those humans who had been dominated by fear......!

"Boom-pop-click......"

A thunderous arrow rushed away, it was aimed at Anubarak's eyes, but at its level, when dealing with low-level creatures, it didn't have to deliberately do any defensive actions, and the shaking of its own movement was enough to make its hard carapace knock this "weak" "aiming shot" away.

"Ugly monster, your opponent is me!" Nathanos howled angrily, although he didn't have the "taunt" of a warrior, but at this moment he wanted to be a warrior to defend against the damage of everyone.

Nathanos was joined by several mid- and high-ranking mages with solemn expressions, who cast ice arrows and slowing spells on the monster without saying a word, and constantly used blizzard spells to slow down the monster's movement speed, buying time for the rout to escape and regain strength. During this time, Nathanos was constantly moving, changing the angle of his shots and attacking the target, trying to find the monster's weakness.

These high-ranking ranged professionals were originally part of the siege of Arthas, but now they had to be temporarily assigned by Uther to contain the beetle monster that suddenly appeared and was slaughtering all living beings. As soon as they came up, they managed to attract the attention of the monster. Clearly, Anubaraq was not interested in the kind of boring slaughter, and he longed to kill a strong enough opponent to satisfy his inner self, which was becoming more and more empty as he became an undead.

Although these little humans are just a little higher than those ants in its eyes.

The Ranger is known for his speed and dexterity, and Nathanos shoots quickly, but no matter what skill he uses or where he shoots at Anubrak, he will always end up with his arrows being bounced off, and he deeply feels that the strength level of the enemy and the enemy is too different!

To put it simply, Nathanos couldn't break the defense. Even those mages, the slowing spell they were proud of looked like it had already worked on each other, but it didn't have the slightest effect! Now they realized that the existence of this monster was far beyond their strength, if Uther was there, they might be able to injure this monster head-on, and then they would expand the results of the battle and attack the broken wound, but now the monster was just moving and slashing in an ordinary way, but every time the huge body took a step forward, their pressure would be magnified several times, and even later they could only escape.

Anubarak moved a few steps with heavy steps, his hooks and claws crossed, and the air seemed to be slashed, if it weren't for Nathanos's quick eyes to knock down the mage who was stunned because he stacked 4 layers of damage bonuses, the sharp "sword qi" that broke the air could directly tear that mage to pieces!

"Run!" Nathanos looked at the dizzy mage and nodded, the mage disappeared in a flash, and Nathanos rolled up, dodging the "mountain" step by step as it approached and crushed the pace, just in the threat of that kick and foot, Nathanos felt that he was almost unable to escape!

Anubrak, on the other hand, didn't think about torturing the ant rolling in front of him, and he thought that the "toy" that had lost the long-range advantage of the archer was like an ant that could be pinched to death at any time, so it might as well play a game of cat and mouse with the human mage.

Nathanos, who could only roll the ground to survive, found that the mage brother he rescued just now was in a slightly safer place, together with several other mages, and wanted to continuously cast ice arrows on the same foot joint of this monster in order to rescue himself!

It's working!

Anubrak's landing speed slowed down significantly, and the joints of the limbs were covered with a thin layer of frost, which obviously made Nathanos, who was the closest, find out, and he seized the opportunity to take advantage of the moment when the opponent landed and failed to lift up according to the original rhythm, he did not retreat, but advanced, dodged a hook claw that was split from the head, and pounced directly below the monster!

"I don't believe you're covered in hard armor!" Nathanos quickly adjusted his body to a rushing posture, he continued to shoot arrows with his bow, and when the arrow of the first test arrow sank into the monster's body, he was overjoyed! The speed of his whole body seemed to have been improved, and his hands seemed to have residual images! The three arrows of Viper Venom shot out like money, until he pierced from under the monster to its back like a streamer, and the 60 venom arrows in his quiver were swept away by him!

Nathanos was pretty sure that the dose of the three hunters' highly toxic venom was enough to kill a bear thousands of times, and using them against this monster would greatly reduce its abilities, if not kill it, right?

"Boom-"

The mountain-like Anubarak fell forward, and Nathanos' wheezing face finally showed a smile of triumph, but before that smile lasted for a second, he could feel a subtle vibration coming from the ground in front of the monster, too far away for him to tell what it was.

It's not a dump, it's what that monster is up to!

Nathanos quickly circled the side, and when he had enough vision to see the monster in front of him, it was as if he had been hit by some evil immobilization spell...... Because he saw rows of piercing-like bone spurs coming out of the ground with that monster as the center, and on the largest and farthest bone spur in that row of piercing, he could see that those mages were protecting them from their ice barrier!

But there was an unlucky ghost, he failed to open the ice barrier in time, and now the mage master who was originally high above was now a blurred pool of flesh hanging on that huge bone spur......

Damn! This vicious attack can even distort the path of travel, and Nathanos is keenly aware that this thing will pursue its target! He thought about it, if he looked at the available information, he probably had no good way to hide when faced with this kind of piercing.

Nathanos continued to attack the vulnerable parts of the massive target's back, such as its relatively soft-looking hips that were not protected by hard armor, and its thin, transparent wings!

As soon as he shot two high-powered arrows, Nathanos had to use the escape skill under the monster's hook and claw like a whirling slash, which was a skill that allowed the Ranger/Hunter to quickly move backwards to avoid fatal damage, but he didn't expect that after only a few rounds of fighting, he had already used up a life-saving skill!

Nathanos turned around in the air and shot in succession, cleaning up several small spider monsters in his landing position that were dealing with the rout, and then he retracted his bow and drew his sword, and at the moment he landed, he cut off the two undead soldiers who had been awakened by the necromancer who was hiding in an unknown place, and then he landed steadily, and after confirming that there was no danger around, he retracted his sword and opened his bow again!

There was no time to waste this time, he had to save the mages who were still trying to maintain their life-saving skills!

Nathanos' shoulders shook, and the arrows in the quiver on his back seemed to have been carefully placed, so he was very comfortable and quickly pulled out 4 of them and shot them out of 4 at once, and the frequency of this action was so fast that the naked eye could hardly catch it!

Barrage shooting!

The Ranger/Hunter quickly shoots a large number of arrows, dealing large damage to all targets within a certain radius!This is an area of effect skill, but Nathanos is very accurate in shooting all the "rain of arrows" that shoot from the flat ground on the monster!

"Ding Ding Dong...... Puff – Puff ......"

"Ha-sss......ss

Nathanos's continuous outbursts in a short period of time made him very tired, but obviously, he was also very excited after seeing an existence of his own level of strength that could hurt the other party! And what made him even more excited was that with his cover, those mages flashed away at the moment when their ice barrier disappeared, and redistanced themselves from that monster, and now they were dealing with other small spider monsters that were close to them, so that they could have a safer output environment in the future.

But just as the mages thought the distance was safe enough and focused on dealing with the small spider monsters, they were shocked to find that their ice shields and mana shields were dissolving at an unbelievable rate!

At this time, if it is a battle mage with rich combat experience, they will choose to use Frost Nova, Shockwave or directly use Magic Explosion Spell when they are facing a situation where they can no longer use various shields and life-saving skills, all three of which are spells that use themselves as the center of the circle to blast damage in all directions, which can largely destroy or control unknown enemies close to them, so as to buy precious time for themselves in crisis.

But these are all academic mages, if they weren't involved in this sudden war, it is estimated that they would only be buried in various magic experiments and endless knowledge in this life.

Because of this, these mages did not choose the best way to fight for their own chances of survival in the first place, they were more at a loss, before they only used magic in a safe place in the back and it was no problem, but if they were able to improvise to save their lives and attack, it would be too difficult for them......

Not surprisingly, after encountering a fatal crisis, one mage even began to give up casting spells and ran away in a panic...... Then, before he could take a few steps, his ice shield shattered, and he turned into a dried corpse at a speed visible to the naked eye!

To be precise, it should be sucked dry!

With the Ranger Lord's eyesight, Nathanos could still see clearly within two or three hundred yards of darkness, and the moment the mage's shield shattered, several small insects immediately stuck to him, and within a few seconds, the mage was completely skinny and bone-like! As if satisfied, the bugs began to stagger back into the body of the giant beetle monster, and it didn't take long for the monster to heal visibly as the mages died one by one and the little bugs continued to return!

Such a vicious bloodsucking attack!

At this time, Nathanos, who had only recovered his strength, was desperate to find that there was no longer a living friendly army within a few hundred yards of him, and he had to face a huge beetle monster as large as a hill and seven or eight small spider monsters......

It's like a desperate situation, what should I do?

......

A little further on, back in Nathanos and a few mages fighting Anubrak, Uther himself led the paladins to the ragged front line, trying to plug the gap so that Alfred could stabilize the flanks and return to the command of the central army to stabilize the chaos.

Uther found that after these monsters attacked from the underground, in addition to causing chaos in the night, in fact, the damage they caused was relatively small, and within the controllable range, as long as there was a capable man to stabilize the situation, Uther felt that everything could be recovered.

As long as there are enough characters to stabilize the morale of the army and let those soldiers regain their fighting spirit, it won't be too bad!

In fact, Uther had done enough to clear out the spider monsters that Edlan called the Crypt Demons like a walking torch as if he were a walking torch and chopping melons and vegetables all the way from the center of the camp with a dozen paladins.

The light and actions of the paladins soon became the target of both the enemy and the enemy, but where Van Uther and his party passed, the enemy would be swept away by the scorching holy light, and the originally scattered soldiers saw that Uther and his party were so brave, many of them calmed down and followed the paladins as they advanced, and many more began to return to their ranks under the command of officers at all levels after getting rid of the danger, ready to move forward at any time.

"For the Light!

"Attack! Warriors!"

The mature officers shouted slogans loudly, and continued to inspire the courage of the soldiers, who knew that courage was raised quickly, but if there was an unexpected situation like the one just now, the morale of these militiamen and recruits would also fall very quickly!

After all, now, after those things that came out of the ground proved to be easy to kill, and the courage of these militias and recruits was also boosted by Uther's party, the human counterattack began.

As if it had been rehearsed many times, General Alfred's flank troops stabilized early, they still took advantage of the advantage of the river beach to stop the undead who dared to approach for a moment, and in the rear of the flank, under Alfred's calm command, they were the first to complete the annihilation operation against the crypt demons that attacked from the ground.

Now, having handed over the defense of the flanks to his lieutenants, Alfred arrived in the center with his own guards, and began to lead the lads to support the disorganized front line.

On the other side, Uther had reached the forefront, but he was surprised to find that there was a strange empty space here, which seemed to be a tacit agreement between the two sides to get out of the way, waiting for the best warriors on both sides to arrive and go heads-up.

But Uther noticed that the human defenders here had long since been killed, and he could even recognize it from the corpse's accessories, which were his old buddy Gavinrad's personal guards!

"Oh, no......" Uther saw that on the opposite side of the pitch darkness, the army of the undead once again consciously separated the two sides, and from the middle came out Garissus and Rivendell in turn...... and Gavin Rad.

Originally, it was more like a gathering of old friends, but just from the appearance, it was already clear that Gavinrad's chest was still broken, and their eyes were no longer the appearance of the living, it was full of cold blue light, it was the undead vision, and the three of them had become death knights......

Except for Gavinrad, who was shirtless, both Garithar and Rivendell were already riding skeletal horses, wearing pitch-black armor and holding some kind of runic sword that exuded an evil aura in their hands. This made Uther understand that the former had just been killed in battle, and it seemed that he had not been able to prepare suitable weapons and equipment for him, and the last two, they had already died in battle after the fall of the Undead Barrier a few days ago, and then their bodies and souls were desecrated and transformed into death knights!

The three Death Knights also split up and bowed down the empty middle aisle, while the undead in the vicinity seemed to have received some sort of higher control, twisting their stiff torsos and bowing collectively in imitation of human etiquette......

Riding a taller skeletal horse, a thin, white-haired prince was enjoying the compliments of his legion, and he walked out of the darkness step by step until he came to the front to face the thin line of a dozen paladins and dozens of soldiers.

"Look who this is, my mentor, the best candidate for my High Lord of Death, no one will come to save you this time......" Arthas's voice was hoarse and hollow, not at all what a human should be.

"Phew—don't get on it, let me finish off this scoundrel myself!"

Although in the previous encounter, Uther relied on the cover of his other companions to barely hold on and not lose, but now almost everyone has their own mission, and Gavin Rad has also died in battle, he must take his responsibility!

The Holy Light surged over Uther, and the three blessings of strength, king, and wisdom surged into him in turn.

Arthas, on the other hand, seemed to be "fair", he rolled over and dismounted, like a nobleman about to attend a ball, and walked forward with easy steps, but the power of death surging up in his body did not seem like a joke at all.

The two sides are getting closer step by step, and the momentum of both sides is also rising.

Ever since Edlan developed the Vengeful Fury, Uther, the oldest paladin, was not to be outdone, and immediately comprehended the essence of this skill, and even used his rich experience to make this skill more effective! At this moment, Uther, who had condensed his wings with holy light behind his back, was the embodiment of holy light! The pillar of light that seemed to reach the sky even illuminated half of the battlefield!

"Arthas, your time of death is up, and I will purify you with my own hands!"

"Oh? I'll see. Arthas's casual tone was disdainful, but his armor made of Saxylon's Evil Iron began to charge, and his body gushed with ice-blue malevolent frost, dark green plague breath, and crimson death blood...... These are the three major specializations of the Death Knights, but Arthas easily fused them into himself, forming a very ominous black, a black like an abyss.

"Bell—"

Uther's dazzling Divine Energy wrapped in the warhammer and Arthas's magic sword that emitted a bitter cold air each slashed in the air and slammed into each other with a very standard starting attack.

This scene is similar to when Arthas was a disciple of Uther, they practiced with the same starting move, the same move, the same slashing path, and the same intersection of two weapons......

The violent collision between the holy light and death produced a huge momentum, almost forcing the "onlookers" on both sides to retreat dozens of steps! In this fierce energy confrontation, Uther suddenly had a hint of abruptness, and this past was like the good old days of yesterday, and the scenes reappeared......
