Volume 2: The Shadow of the Wailing Cave (Remastered) Chapter 27: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada (1)
Thassarian's presence caused a commotion among the fighting centaurs, and the oppression of the heroic undead caused them to fall into an ice cellar, causing the undead soldiers who were entangled with the centaurs to breathe a little. But if this continues, sooner or later, the pressure brought by Thassarian will break through the psychological bottom line of these centaurs, causing the collapse of the frontal battlefield.
Yu Bin admired the courage of this undead commander very much, and if he changed someone, he might choose to meet the enemy because he was worried that the frontal defense line would be defeated, rather than outflanking the retreat of these centaurs with slow-moving zombies. However, considering the terrain of the Velociraptor Plains, this undead commander did have enough confidence to dare to do so.
The location of the Velociraptor Plains is not very suitable for the centaurs, it is backed by the dust swamp, for the centaurs who are good at mobile warfare, the swamp covered with silt is obviously the worst terrain, the sea in the east, and the Mogaure of the Minotaur in the west, the centaurs can neither swim nor coexist peacefully with the minotaurs, but these two races are born mortal enemies, so the only option for these centaurs to escape is to turn around and break through the undead who stand behind them.
However, Thassarian's presence has become an insurmountable peak for these centaurs, and it is not so easy to break through the blockade of a heroic undead.
"That guy looks so strong!" Lei Guang looked at Sassarian's figure, the hero-level oppression was not serious at this distance, so Lei Guang just felt that the other party was very powerful, and he would not lose his fighting spirit because he faced the other side directly.
"Looks like you guessed, these undead have a good idea!" Alan said admirably, "What do we do next?" Those centaurs are probably dead, I don't think you can stay and kiss those undead, right? That guy on top doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. ”
"Maybe it's not that simple!" Yu Bin saw something from the reactions of those centaurs, and said with interest, "Those centaurs may still have something hidden!" ”
"What's hidden? Hehe, it's all like this, what else can these guys hide? "Maybe it's because he's been chased by centaurs many times, and Lei Guang gloates over the misfortune of these four-legged guys, wishing they all died here.
However, the truth once again hit Thunderlight's face, and two powerful auras similar to Thassarian emerged from the centaurs who were fighting, and it was obvious that these centaurs had two of them with the same heroic-level existence!
"This ...... What the hell is going on! ”
"The chieftain of the centaur is also generally heroic." Yu Bin didn't feel any big surprise, this scale of war, as the chief of the entire tribe, how could he not be present in person, the only thing that Yu Bin didn't expect was that there would be two hero-level strengths, "It seems that these centaurs were assembled by the Kyrgyz tribe and the Magram tribe together, no wonder these guys dare to attack the undead formation head-on, I thought that the Magram tribe was carried away by anger, it turned out to be a helper!" ”
Alan: "Now it's two against one, who do you think will win?" ”
"Undead, of course!"
"Why? Can't you beat two or one? Even if the undead are strong, they can't be outrageously strong! ”
Yu Bin smiled and shook his head: "Who said that if you want to win, you have to be able to fight?" Don't forget, the transformation circle is always running! As long as the undead knight can hold back the two centaur chiefs, it won't be long before those ordinary centaurs become part of the undead, and the two single commanders can win against thousands of undead centaurs? ”
"Is that guy so smart?"
"Hasn't he proven it with his actions?" Yu Bin snorted at the battlefield, "But this is good news for us." ”
"How?"
"The fisherman is about to collect the net, but he finds that the net has caught two big fish, and he can't pull it alone, what do you think the fisherman will do?"
"Call a helper!"
"That's right, so where's the closest helper here?"
Ailan and the others glanced at each other and said in unison, "Those necromancers! ”
"Look, isn't our chance coming!" Yu Bin spread his hands and said, "If that undead knight draws the guards from the velociraptor lair to join the battle, then it will inevitably weaken the defense there, and we just have a praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind!" ”
"And what if he doesn't pull it?"
"Do you think he still has the heart to take care of other places with a dozen or two?"
Alan nodded in agreement: "You're right, we have enough time to reap the benefits!" But why did you do it? It can't be that your Virgin has a heart attack and wants to help those centaurs and destroy the transformation circle, right? ”
"It's none of my business whether those centaurs live or die, what I care about is those supplies!" Yu Bin said without hesitation, "Do you know how many gold coins a complete death crystal can be sold for in the undead clan?" ”
"How much?"
"Two hundred gold coins! And the big boxes you see, each of them can hold at least a thousand! ”
"That is, one box is 200,000? Alan, how many of those skeletons did you just say? ”
"At least ten, maybe more, I just glanced at it from afar."
Lei Guang and Keldila shouted at the same time, "Two million!! ”
Yu Bin even felt that the eyes of these two guys had turned into gold coins: "It's enough for you to give yourself two sets of blue exquisite equipment, wear one and throw another!" ”
"Then what are you waiting for, come on!" Lei Guang gasped for breath, as if one step of slowness, the huge number of gold coins would fly away.
When Yu Bin and others were ready to join this sudden war and reap the benefits for themselves, a short period of calm was ushered in on the battlefield. The aura of another heroic centaur chief calmed the turbulent centaurs, and with the help of the centaur priests and shamans, they began to gather around the chieftain to form a circle, on the outside of the circle were the better-equipped centaur warriors and centaur warriors, and the centaur archers and centaur scouts took out their bows and arrows again, while blocking the undead who passed through the leaks, while relieving the pressure on the defense line with the arrows in their hands, Centaur priests and shamans heal wounded centaurs and bless warriors in the inner circle.
I have to say that this way of fighting is very unfavorable for the undead, and the difference in individual strength means that these undead creatures often need to pay a lot of price to cause damage to those centaurs, but under the treatment of the centaur priest at all costs, as long as it is not fatal on the spot, the injured centaurs can safely retreat to the inside of the defense line and receive further treatment and bandaging, so that if it drags on, the only result is that the undead cannot form an encirclement of the centaurs because the number is gradually decreasing, Eventually, these centaurs broke through.
Thassarian was clearly aware of this, and the appearance of the two centaur chieftains not only gave these prey enough strength to compete with them, but also gave the centaurs a backbone, and the emergence of the chain of command meant an increase in combat effectiveness. So, he had to change the situation!
Drawing the knight's sword at his waist, Sasarian swung his sword forward, and the zombies behind him began to move forward, ready to join the battlefield, compared to skeletons and ghouls, zombies have thicker health, higher defense, and can better strengthen the entire encirclement.
The dark mages are also vigorously wielding all kinds of undead spells, and there are constantly pitch-black death energy falling on the battlefield, these death energy is the best recovery product for the undead, but for the centaur is the call of death, those centaur priests and centaur shamans have to devote a lot of energy to eliminate these death energy, which naturally reduces the support for the circular defense line.
The two necromancers who followed Thassarian were no longer watching, holding the skull staff in their hands, and the skull above the staff was also inlaid with a black gem, and as the incantation was chanted, the black air currents gradually began to converge in the sky.
Unlike the dark mage who is a class, the necromancer belongs to the professional spellcasters of the undead, these systematically cultivated casters can use more and more powerful necromancer, and have a good level of intelligence, often used to hold some important positions, at the same time, the necromancer is also the main force of the undead to summon cannon fodder on the battlefield, a normal state of the necromancer can even rely on their own magic to pull up a team of hundreds of undead on the battlefield.
The black air flow gradually converged into an inky cloud, and as the cloud formed, black raindrops began to fall from the sky, and once these raindrops containing a large amount of death power touched the body of the centaurs, they would leave a clear trace of corrosion on their bodies, and this death cloud spell composed of shadow magic and death power caused a lot of damage to the centaurs. Many small wounds that could have been ignored would have worsened as soon as they were touched by this raindrop of death, and even the healing techniques of the centaur priests could not eradicate such injuries.
The centaurs who had to retreat into the inner circle due to serious injuries quickly died due to the deterioration of their injuries, and then under the influence of the transformation circle, they became undead and stood up tremblingly, which forced the centaurs to withdraw some of their forces to deal with these internal problems, and the weakening of the outer defense line further increased the number of wounded, which became a vicious circle.
That's the horror of the undead, you have to kill them twice, three times, or even more, and once you're hurt, it's not far from joining the ranks of the undead!
As a dead centaur warrior was transformed into an undead, standing up from the spot, ready to surprise the living with the battle axe in his hand, a roar exploded in his ears, and a heavy long-handled battle axe roared across his body, splitting the newborn undead in half, and a centaur who was much taller than the strongest centaur warrior appeared here, holding the long-handled battle axe that was still dripping with blood, and the heavy battle axe was like a child's toy in the hands of this centaur, It can be easily wielded with just one hand.
"Calm down! The ancestors of the tribe are watching you! Don't let the centaur's prowess be overshadowed! "This powerful centaur is none other than the chief of the Kyrgyz tribe, the centaur Khan Shaka, who became the chief of the Kyrgyz centaur tribe by absolute force and led the centaur tribe to multiply and expand in the barren land.
"Sons of Margram, you must not disgrace the ancestral spirits!" Standing at the side of Shaka Khan is the centaur Khan Jayne of the Margram tribe, compared to Shaka, Jayne Khan is shorter, this is because he is not a pure centaur warrior, but became a khan as a shaman, as one of the two major centaur tribes in the barren lands, the Magram tribe is not as brutal as the Kyrgyz tribe, but for those merchants who risk their lives to cross the barren land, whether it is the Kyrgyz tribe or the Margram tribe, They are all vicious bandits that must be avoided.
After barely suppressing the fear and fear in the centaur's heart, Shaka knew that he had to make a decision, although this war was initiated by Jayne of the Margram tribe, the reason why he brought the warriors of the tribe to participate was to completely eliminate the threat of these undead, in the past time, hundreds of tribesmen had died at the hands of these damn undead, and he had to let these bones know that the Kyrgyz tribe was not easy to mess with!
In fact, the undead under Thassarian's hands can only expand the hunting range to the backwater oasis in the past few days, and they can't take care of the sweetwater oasis that is farther away, maybe the Margram tribe does have a blood feud with him, but the anger of the Kyrgyz tribe should not be blamed on Sasarian at all, but should be Yu Bin's responsibility, and Sasarian can be said to have taken the blame for Yu Bin and them without knowing it.
Shaka Khan's gaze crossed the battlefield and looked at the undead knight sitting on the war horse, he could feel the threat brought to him by the other party, obviously he also had heroic strength, but he subconsciously thought that he could not be the opponent of the undead knight, which is why he was reluctant to make a rash move until now.
But the pressure on the centaurs is increasing, and he can't sit idly by and watch the elites of these tribes die here in vain, and then turn into undead spirits under the desecration of death, return to the Kyrgyz tribe, and drag the entire tribe into the abyss of death.
"Jayne! Let's teach those damned undead a hard lesson! No one will be able to defeat the centaurs! Shaka raised the tomahawk in his hand and said loudly.
Jayne Khan also raised his machete, centaurs are a race that reveres strength, even if he is a shaman, he must have a strong flesh, these brutal creatures will never obey a weak individual.
