"Chapter 378: New News"
Skeleton summons, this card is finally in my hands.
I looked at the legendary cards floating silently in the palm of my hand, and a sense of pride came over me. I've got two legendary cards, and this is the first time I've ever had a host. Keep in mind that some hosts don't have legendary cards yet, or if they do, they don't use them.
There were a few congratulatory voices on the world call, and I thanked them a little. I still remember the scene when I saw the Legion of Bones in that mysterious space, and they cheered at me and called me king, which was not comparable to the so-called Grand Archon of the Liberal Alliance.
I just looked at the card introduction and asked Zero, and I probably understood how to use this card. It's not what I thought it would be, as soon as I used it, a whole bunch of skeletons would burst out of the ground and kill all the enemies. I need to collect enough life energy, five points for one, and keep transferring those skeleton warriors in space to this world, this card. And when I activate this card, the skeletons I've summoned will come out to help us fight.
In other words, how many skeletons can come out to help us at any one time depends on how much life energy I can get and how many skeleton warriors I can summon later. And this summon also has an upper limit, 100,000, which is already a large number, a powerful force that can destroy the elite legions of the kingdom, not to mention that the maximum summoning range is only five kilometers.
Life energy doesn't matter, every time the battle ends, we will have a lot of life energy that we don't have time to absorb, and now let this card absorb and transform into a skeleton warrior, which is not bad. As for the other restrictions, such as existence time and cooldown, I am also okay with it. After all, I didn't expect the system to send me that many troops directly from the beginning. If that's the case, then this card is probably a one-off.
I told Philip the good news, and Philip was no less excited than I was. He told me that with a release range of 50 km, as long as the reconnaissance is good enough, it is possible to launch a surprise attack at a great distance from the enemy. A spell range of 5 kilometers is enough to encompass important areas of a large city, enveloping an army of tens of thousands of people. According to the strength of level 9 skeleton warriors, not to mention 100,000, as long as 20,000 skeleton warriors appear within the enemy army, or pour out of the enemy city, then the entire army will fall into chaos, and the city will also fall in civil strife.
The strategic significance of Skeleton Summoning is several times greater than that of our current Skeleton Legion combined.
As for the skull balloon, it looks a little chicken. If I had done it before, I would have planted a large number of them, and then I would have scattered them during the siege. However, now with the skeleton summon, its role is much smaller, but after upgrading one or two levels, it should still be good to attack the city with the skeleton summon. It can also attract firepower and cover those precious balloon soldiers, who are the main force of our destruction of the city's defenses.
I'd like to use a skeleton summon right now to see how powerful this force is at Conquer the World. The princes agreed with the idea, and while they were no strangers to the Legion of Bones, the more they knew about our troops, the better it would be for the rest of the battle. I have ordered my troops to retreat, intending to use the Skeleton Summon, unleashing the more than 5,000 skeleton warriors inside. But it was at this time that a piece of news came and changed my mind.
It was news from the Tibetan Soldier City, and the content of the message was simple, but it was incredible. The Griffon Empire expeditionary force that had been lying next to us had disappeared overnight, and there were not even a few tents left. My heart trembled, my fear finally came, now our main force is on Subic's side, although there are many defenders in the south, but there are many weaknesses, as long as they find a weak place to stab, our logistics will be paralyzed.
Still, I told myself that the chances of such a situation were low, after all, it would not do them any good to attack us. Then I was relieved to see what was going on in the letter. They did not attack any of our villages, and in fact, our patrols did not find them at all within the Freedom Alliance. It's really just like what Mei Long said in the letter, for a day, there was no trace, as if he had never been here.
I'm guessing it's some kind of magical teleportation device, and it's miniaturized. It seems that our original suspicion was correct, this griffon Empire's forces are hiding a lot from us, and they do have some things that we can't think of, but fortunately their target is not us, otherwise we would be in big trouble.
After reading the letter, I called Louie and the others and studied the contents of my mind together.
''I don't think they deceived us in one thing, they must have really come with their eyes on Subic and then came to our territory for some reason.'' However, they are very well informed, and as soon as we defeated Subic's army, they played and disappeared, and it seems that they were prepared for it. ‘’
At this time, Louis was not serious, and his frowning expression even surprised me.
William surprisingly supported Louie's opinion this time, but he also added some details, such as the possible next move for the griffon army.
''I've read books on this continent and know a little bit about magic. If it was a small teleportation array, they wouldn't be able to travel too far, at most to get here, which is currently our eastern border with the kingdom. If they get to that area, we'll hear about it soon. ‘’
Of course, they may also have improvised a large magic circle, connected to another fixed large teleportation array in the territory of the Griffon Empire through some kind of magical element, and then collectively teleported there. But it's unlikely, because then they'll be making a trip for nothing. ‘’
Our mages also expressed their opinions on the issue of magic, and everyone seemed very supportive.
We expect the Griffon Empire's armies not to leave so easily, and it's more likely that they'll infiltrate Subic. Although we don't know what their purpose is, whether it is dangerous for us, we have no way to withdraw our troops back now.
The Santa Claus workers had given us a great opportunity before, and from a strategic point of view, we couldn't afford to give it up. Although there are many hidden dangers in the rear, I can only let it go to Mei Long, and continue to go deep into the kingdom with the army.
The next morning, we received new news that the Griffon Empire from our eastern border and the kingdom had indeed appeared there.
