Volume 1: The Second Coming (Remastered) Chapter 43: The Tamil Rebellion (6)

Windy Valley, the camp of the Ferta Imperial Army, before the third attack!

After the death knight Dams conveyed the order of Emperor Gertrode, Zaire immediately dispatched the elite to form a commando team, and drove all the necros and necromancers to the front line, braving the rain of arrows from the rebels to provide spell support at close range.

Now before the third attack, the elite soldiers from the camp silently set out to the front line, once again trying to break through the rebel defenses.

Had it not been for the sudden weakening of long-range firepower during the first assault, which gave the rebels a chance to breathe, Zaire would have approached the rebel camp with his legions by now. Precisely because of the unexpected effect of the first attack, Zaire was defeated in the face of the rebel defenses, although he organized a second attack in the shortest possible time.

The two unsuccessful attacks had already made Damus's face very bad, and Zaire was clearly aware of the importance that His Majesty Geltrod attached to this counterinsurgency operation, and they decided to join the third attack themselves, making sure to break through the rebels' defenses in one go, overwhelm the battalion, and force the rebels to a decisive battle.

Suddenly, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and the corpse witch Runte walked in with a panicked expression: "Lord Zaire, Lord Dams!" Our soldiers were counterattacked by the Tamils and are now in disarray! ”

Runte's words made Zaire pause.

"You mean, the rebels left the valley and launched a counterattack?"

"No, the rebels did not leave the defensive line, and only the rebel leader Tamil launched a counterattack!" Runte said.

Crash! Dams flipped the table in front of him, and it was clear that what Runt had said made the Death Knight very angry.

"Order the main force of the legion in the camp to immediately go to the front line and launch an attack at all costs!" Zaire roared loudly, there was no doubt that the successful sneak attack of the rebels must have labeled him incompetent, and he could almost imagine how Emperor Geltrod would react when he heard the news, and in order to save it all, he must win at all costs!

"I'm going to cut off the betrayer's head with my own hands!" Dams walked out of the tent with his sword in his hand, leading his men towards the Valley of the Wind. Along with Damus arrived thirty Black Knights, who belonged to the royal family's Guards and were arguably part of the most elite unit of the Felta Empire.

A chill flashed in Zaire's eyes, and he glanced coldly at the corpse witch Runte, quickly dressed himself, and floated out of the tent, as a ghost, the tent could not stop him from entering and exiting.

When he arrived at the battle line at the mouth of the valley, the death knight Damus had already fought with Tamil, as the leader of the rebel army, Tamil was a black warrior, although he was not as noble as Dams, but he had a lot of combat experience, Zaire could see it with just a few glances, compared with Damus, who had been staying in Bramberg to guard the palace, Tamil, who often participated in battles on the border, had the upper hand, if it weren't for the equipment on Damus's body was a grade higher than Tamil, I'm afraid that this close confidant of Emperor Geltrod has already shown his defeat.

Zaire waved his hand without hesitation and threw a weak curse at Tamil, as a ghost, Zaire is best at all kinds of curse spells, his profession is animism, a mage class that relies on psionic energy to fight, and among the psionic energy, Zaire is best at a variety of cursed spells composed of soul energy and death energy.

The Curse of Weakness is a wide-ranging curse, so it is not easy to dodge, the Black Warrior Tamir let out a roar almost synchronously at the moment when the curse came, and a black gas burst out from his body, and his movements not only did not weaken because of the curse, but became more and more violent.

Tamil is using the advanced skill of the warrior class, the will of the god of war. The god of war Kariggos is a very special deity, his priesthood includes combat, competition and war, in addition to these, it even includes destruction, plunder, slaughter, etc., as a weak god god, Kariggos does not need to rely on faith to gain power, as long as there is war in this world, he can get divine power from it, the larger the scale of the war, the more divine power he gets! And in order to provoke more wars, Cargos is more than happy to lend his power to those soldiers in need, who can get the power they need from Cargos without praying!

The Will of the God of War gives Tamil a short-term increase in strength and agility, and instantly removes all negative states (excluding physical disabilities) from him, so Zaire's curse has no effect.

Seeing that his support had not only failed to work, but had even worsened the situation, Zaire began to prepare more powerful spells while driving his soldiers around the area where the two were fighting and continuing to attack Taniguchi's defenses. Mixed with gray and lilac energy flowed in Zaire's hands, gradually converging into a ball.

Zaire pushed his hand, and the ball floating in his chest shot quickly towards Tamil, and Dams also broke out a fierce attack at the same time, forcing Tamir to be unable to get away from the ball.

The ball hit Tamil's shoulder, and the gray energy contained in it quickly covered his upper body and spread towards his lower body, and the purple soul energy penetrated the armor like a sharp arrow into Tamir's body, directly attacking his soul fire.

This is Zaire's specialty, called Soul Attraction Curse Killing, using a wisp of his soul power as a medium to gather the souls of the dead on the battlefield, weaken the target's attributes through a curse attached to the death energy, and then pour a large amount of soul energy into the target's body and detonate, causing a lot of soul damage to the target, and even directly destroying the opponent's soul. Relying on this skill, Zaire is almost invincible on the battlefield.

Seeing that Zaire's spell was successfully effective, Damus also changed his previous style of playing with more defense than attack, and began to wave the two-handed sword in his hand with a wide open and closed, although Dams was a little unaccustomed to not riding a mount, but the narrow space here is not suitable for any way of fighting, so many of Damus's skills cannot be used, but Tamil is more suitable for this style of play.

Attacked by the joint attack of two heroic undead, Tamil was in danger for a while, he had to give up the attack and turn to defense, and slowly retreated like Taniguchi's defense line, wanting to rely on the help of the defense line to buy time to drive out the soul energy in his body and the curse on his body.

"Don't let him escape!" Damus shouted loudly, and at the same time attacked more and more hard, looking as if he had changed from a death knight to a berserker, and the two-handed greatsword in his hand was wielded by him, slashing at Tamil one after another, not caring about the opponent's counterattack.

And Zaire was not idle, after using the soul attraction curse to kill, a gray chain appeared in his hand, and the chain of nearly five meters long was like life in Zaire's hands, along the weird angle with Damus to launch an attack on Tamil, every time he would aim at Tamil's dead end, the death energy attached to the chain would add a curse to Tamir with each attack hit, and in just one minute, Tamir's body had been attached to seven or eight curse effects, making his combat power obviously drop a lot.

This allowed the Tamils to retreat more quickly towards the defensive line, while Damus stopped the Tamils at all costs.

With a wave of the sword in his hand, Tamir slashed the chains from behind his back, and at the same time used his shoulder armor to receive a blow from Damus, and the heavy two-handed greatsword made Tamil's shoulder armor have obvious depressions, and even cracks appeared on the edges that were visible to the naked eye. But Tamil also took the opportunity to slide two steps in a row, again a few meters closer to the defensive line.

At the same time as Damus was chasing, Tamil reached out and grabbed a skeleton warrior not far away, and used this unlucky guy to block Damus's attack, and was killed on the spot by the skeleton warrior who was split in half, and Tamil got another chance to retreat.

Seeing that he was about to let the opponent escape from the attack of the two, Dams immediately launched a charge, bursting out the death energy in his body in one breath, so as to drive his body to charge the enemy at a speed beyond the limit, this skill called death dash is an advanced skill of charging. At this moment, Damus seemed to turn into a streamer, straight behind Tamil, as long as he occupied that position, he could completely cut off Tamil and the defensive line, and once again put the rebel leader in a flank.

"Oh no, come back quickly!" However, an exclamation came from Zaire's mouth, leaving Dams confused for a moment, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully, and still chose to continue to activate the skill.

Just when Damus was almost about to succeed, a dazzling lightning suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the thunder and lightning full of destructive aura pierced through Damus's body straight, and then pierced more than a dozen elite soldiers all the way before completely dissipating.

The huge thunder and lightning energy caused powerful damage to Dams, not to mention that this was the time when he was at his weakest, and the death energy in his body almost all erupted in order to launch a death dash, and the opponent's attack happened to be stuck at this point in time.

However, before Damus could turn around and retreat, Tamil, who had been maintaining a defensive posture, suddenly burst out of red light all over his body, and with a roar, all the gray curses that lingered on his body were shattered, and Tamir's size was also a whole circle larger, and Damus, who is also a warrior class, knew that this was one of the most powerful skills of the berserker class - madness!

I didn't expect Tamil to be a berserker! What's even more unexpected is that this guy has been acting before, pretending to be defeated, to attract Dams to throw himself into the net and step into this trap.

After the madness, Tamil slashed the war knife in his hand with all his strength, and had the momentum to cut him in two, and at this time, Damus was in a state of paralysis for a short time because of the damage of the lightning strike, and he couldn't move at all, so he could only watch Tamil's red-glowing war knife slash at him.

The tide turned in an instant!

On a defense tower in the valley mouth, a corpse witch was staring coldly at the death knight Damus with those empty eyes, no one thought that there was a hero-level corpse witch in the rebels, and it was also a corpse witch who had practiced thunder and lightning spells!

Obviously, at the moment when the corpse witch struck, Zaire, who was also a mage, realized that this was the other party's trap and warned him, but Dams was very meritorious and finally lost himself.

Just as Tamil's sword was about to hit Damus, a chain burst out of the ground, tied Damus's right leg, pulled him to the ground, and dragged Damus all the way back to Zaire like a dead dog.

It turned out that at the same time that Zaire found out that it was a trap, a second chain appeared in his hand, and under Zaire's control, the chain quickly stretched along the shallow surface towards Dams, relying on this method, Zaire successfully saved Dams.

Before Damus could get up and say thank you, Zaire slammed his hand, and another chain coiled in a circle in front of him, blocking a lightning strike. Obviously, this was the heroic corpse witch's pursuit.

"He'll run away like that, Tamil, you're a piece of waste!" The heroic corpse witch said unceremoniously.

"Shut up! All you have to do is stop that ghost, and I'll be able to take care of that idiot myself! Tamil shook the war knife in his hand and strode towards Damus, and the mad Tamil was glowing red all over his body, looking extremely fierce.

Zaire held a chain in each hand, and his attention was all on the corpse witch in the distance: "Craigs! ”

"Oh! You know my name! Heroic Corpse Witch Craigs showed a surprised expression, "Then there is no way, I originally wanted to let you go, but now I can only let you stay here forever!" ”

As a high-ranking member of the Necromancer Society, Craigs should not theoretically be here to help the rebels, but the fact is that he not only showed up, but also tried to kill the death knight Dams, which means something that Zaire would not have imagined.

It's a trap! It's not just Damus who has fallen into the trap, it's Zaire and his entire legion!

"Hahaha, leave your little lives behind!" Tamil laughed maniacally and approached the two of them, "I will let the Majesty hiding in Bramberg know who is the true leader of the undead!" ”

However, at this moment, a loud bang came from within the Yin Wind Valley, followed by a violent tremor of the earth and a ferocious spread of air.

"Really?" Craigs cast a levitation spell on himself, kicked his legs, jumped into the air, and from a distance, the camp they had set up in the Windy Valley had been turned into a sea of fire, and the entire camp had been almost destroyed, and it was not necessary to think about how heavy the casualties were.

"How so?" Craigs fell back onto the tower and looked at Zaire, "Looks like I'm underestimating you!" That's your real killer feature! ”

Zaire and Damus were confused, and the second monk was confused, but the undead's expressionless appearance saved them from the danger of being spotted by Craigs, making the corpse witch think that the two were in the chest.

"Craigs, what the hell is going on?" Tamil also stopped, the loud noise and the tremor of the earth just now made him subconsciously feel bad.

"What we set up in the camp has been discovered, and unfortunately, your plan has failed!" Craigs said calmly.

Tamil showed an incredulous expression: "What did you say? How is this possible, I ...... for this"

Before Tamir could finish speaking, a sharp arrow appeared in front of Tamil as if it had crossed space, piercing his chest before he could react, and the power attached to the arrow caused the red light that enveloped Tamil's whole body to quickly dissipate, and the madness ended.

"It's, it's a quiet blow!" Tamil exclaimed loudly.

"Sure enough, is there another one hidden?" Craigs said to himself, and then raised his staff to prepare the spell as he shouted to Tamil, "It's up to you, my mission is complete, I'll take my leave!" ”

With the activation of the spell, a burst of white light flashed, and Craigs had disappeared.

"Space teleportation? Craigs, you bastard, I curse you for eternity! Tamil threw up his head and roared, his voice full of grief and indignation.
