"Chapter 324: One for a Thousand"
"May the power of darkness bless you, and honor the brave lords"
The witch lowered her staff and bowed slightly in my direction, before turning into a puff of purple smoke and drifting into the auditoriums on either side of the arena. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hit, hit, hit hard......" From the skull cavity of those skeletons, the special stammering sound came out one after another, although faint but still recognizable their voices.
This was the first time I'd ever heard a skeleton soldier speak, and I was just as surprised by it as being surrounded by them. It also reminded me that the skeletons I was provided with were sluggish, but they still had souls. Although they can't communicate conveniently, they still have their own way of communicating, and sometimes it's complicated. However, these skeletons do not seem to have a high level of intelligence, and they are unusually obedient to orders. According to what Xiao Zero said to me privately before, these skeletons don't worry about their own destruction at all, just like skeletons can produce skeletons like crazy, when their bodies are completely shattered and their souls have nowhere to live, the system will take back their souls and let them have a new body to fight again. As for where the body comes from... In fact, bones are just calcium complexes, and they are easy to make. As for how to make it, that's not what I know.
No matter how many unconscious skeletons there are, they are just cannon fodder, and it is not fearful that they will only charge with consciousness, but when these skeletons become terrifying and brutal and start using themselves, then you can truly understand the horror of these skeleton soldiers.
Unlike the skeletons in my troops, they are all vulnerable, but they feel very different. Not only are these skeletons more bloodthirsty and irritable, their bones are reddished, and they have the same skills as real soldiers!
Just like real soldiers, these skeleton soldiers are not only capable of unleashing fearsome charges and overwhelming enemies with numbers, but they are also far more tricky than ordinary skeletons in close combat.
They are faster, more agile, and can cooperate well with each other, flanking left and right, advancing and retreating appropriately, and even repairing the bones of other skeleton soldiers when their bodies are damaged, rather than being stuffed like ordinary skeletons, which can't even barely sustain their operations.
Relying on the advantage of strength, I rushed to the skeleton soldiers who were close to me with the matching sword in my hand, shattered all the ribcage bones of one skeleton soldier with one punch, and with a wave of the matching sword, I directly cut off the other two skeleton soldiers by relying on the sword energy carried by the matching sword (barely counting, it was actually the magic power I attached).
However, although the skeletons were much inferior to me in strength, they quickly dispersed in front of me, and immediately after that, there were four or five more skeletons that suddenly emerged from the soil in the direction behind me.
It's a relatively simple tactical thinking, and although it's clumsy, and it doesn't work for a goal like mine, which is too big a difference in strength, but the fact that they can have this idea shows that they are better than the average skeleton.
This situation is very bad for me, though, as there are at least a thousand of these enhanced skeletons in my vicinity.
With a sword in my hand, I used the simple combat technique Crescent Slash (the name I thought of myself, the specific name is too formal, in short, it was a crescent-shaped sword qi), to smash dozens of skeleton soldiers in front of me, and then quickly gathered magic and threw it backwards, blasting all the skeleton soldiers who were close to me behind me to pieces.
However, the magic just now also caused a negative effect because it was too hasty, my palms were hot and painful, which was caused by the inability of the fire element to condense. Fortunately, my strength is good, otherwise I am afraid that this hand will have burn marks. Magic backlash is very common among magicians like me who are too hasty in learning magic, and if they are not careful, they will be bruised all over their bodies, and if the magic is too strong, it may even kill someone.
In order to prevent the effect of magic backlash from intensifying, I had to use magic for the time being, and pick up my sword and engage in hand-to-hand combat with these skeleton soldiers. Of course, although my strength is completely superior, the general strength of these skeleton soldiers is a little stronger than ordinary people, and it is obviously not a good way to fight hard with thousands of skeleton soldiers of this strength, so I also learned from Fang Zi and used some "reasonable" "small objects".
"Bump!"
After a muffled thud, several skeletons were torn to pieces in the expansion of the flames, and after that, the same situation appeared among other nearby skeleton groups, blasting skeletons within the blast radius.
I held this small bomb in my hand and felt like I really didn't make a mistake. These are all munitions and weapons processed by Fang Zi's factory, and the principle is very similar to that of grenades, just like when the early black powder grenades were ignited, they were ignited with a fuse, and they were powerful enough to send a low-level warrior directly to heaven, or some other place to arrive after death. It has only been a dozen days since the beginning of the production of this thing, and a total of about 1,000 pieces have been produced, and the output has an interesting trend of increasing. Fang Zi plans to equip the soldiers in his troops, especially the goblin spearmen who are good at throwing, so that they have offensive weapons that are much less powerful than the bomberman's bombs, but effective against small enemies at short distances.
Although this thing has not been tested too much, but I can't let it go, when I came back, I went to the factory in Fangzi more than 100 pieces, and came back to study whether it can be imitated, even if it can't be imitated, I have to try what the actual effect is.
Now it seems that it can really work well when it is about to be a hand-to-hand engagement. And I was very satisfied with this small bomb with a large steamed bun, and quickly threw out several other bombs on my body, temporarily creating a clear area around me. Skeleton soldiers don't frighten, and this bomb naturally doesn't scare them. The clearance area will soon be filled by the skeletons behind me, and I must now take advantage of this opportunity to use a suitable spell to destroy them as much as possible.
The constant explosions and fluctuations of magic severely irritated the skeletons, and the thousands of skeletons in the arena formed a simple loose queue in a short period of time, and then quickly rushed in my direction.
I remembered the magic I had practiced with my master, and I remembered when my sister and the magicians of the kingdom unleashed the magic of the earth, and after combining what I had learned, I raised my sword in my hand like Kuba and slammed it into the ground.
The sword was plunged directly into the earth, and I controlled the elemental power around me to follow the sword into the ground, and controlled the energy to compress and forcibly mix. Under normal circumstances, it would be nonsense to do so, and the fury and chaos of elemental power would soon erupt and hurt the mage himself. But now I just need this burst of magic effect, the awakening of the skeleton group in the basement of the arena, this underground activity will make the elemental energy chaotic and dispersed for a short time, and briefly prolong the burst time, and this time is enough for me to avoid the center of the outbreak.
With the drawing of the sword and the rapid jump of my body, the position of the soil layer that had just been inserted into the sword suddenly began to shatter, and with this shattering point as the center, rows and rows of ground thorns continued to emerge from the ground and spread to all sides.
Even the skeletal troops that were charging were directly torn apart by the rapid onslaught of these ground spikes, and the ground where skeletons kept emerging was also destroyed in the ground spikes and protrusions.
