"Chapter 201: Army of Skeletons"

"The catastrophe of the undead, the sea of bones. Don't try to confront the army of the Grim Reaper www.biquge.info, whose army is endless, the living are limited and the dead are endless, and one day, you too will join them and wreak havoc with your former enemies. ”

This is a quote from a great (and indeed true) necromancer during the "War of the Dead" between the Holy See and the necromancers, who warned the other necromancers to be cautious about using this power from hell or else they would be consumed by death. He also told the victors of the Holy See about the end of the war, telling them how terrifying the power of death was.

A thousand years have passed, the power of the Holy See has retreated to the south of the continent, and the necromancer has reached a reconciliation with the Holy See. The Holy See does not say that they are heretics and devils, but they keep their promises and disappear in the eyes of the world. Only a handful of missionary-like necromancers still roam the continent with their undead minions, telling people that bone skeletons and dead bodies are not scary, and that the human mind is the dirtiest. They propagated their beliefs, telling people that true freedom could only be achieved by getting rid of ideas like good and evil.

In any case, necromancers are becoming fewer and fewer, and people have long forgotten the horrors of the undead army that spreads across the mountains in the past thousand years. At first, the necromancer's admonition to the people was just a passage from a book, and they laughed and talked about the undead depicted in the books, and the various propaganda of the Holy See had long prevented them from taking these things as terrible things.

But today, at least in the hearts of the soldiers of the Subic Kingdom, the fear of the undead returned to their hearts again, and when they climbed the ruins of the wall, it seemed that the endless sea of skeletons and bones frightened them, and these white bones with dark eyes rushed towards them like ants, and the terrifying momentum seemed to devour everything.

How many skeletons does Li Xiaopan have? This question is difficult for him to answer, he just keeps going to the riots, keeps hoarding skeletons, and constantly loses skeletons and then doubles them, and he himself ignores the question of counting the specific number of skeletons. However, it can be roughly calculated that under his command, except for the First Legion, which only accounts for a quarter of the number of skeletons, each of the remaining four legions has 15,000 to 20,000 skeleton soldiers, and the skeleton legion with skeletons as the main force has as many as 60,000 skeletons! And this time, in order to solve the troops of the kingdom, Li Xiaopan can be said to have mobilized all the troops except for the First Army and the border troops, not to mention other troops, the skeleton soldiers alone have reached as many as 130,000! A vast sea of skeletons not only covered the battlefield, but also flooded the walls of Grandel. The citizens and soldiers in the city stupidly watched the countless skeleton soldiers who could not be killed constantly pouring up the city wall, directly taking the ladder up and down, and the feeling in their hearts was indescribable. And for the kingdom forces facing this great army, this is simply a disaster!

Hundreds of thousands of skeletons continued to advance like a sea of bones, and every time this sea set off a wave, it would drown the warriors of hundreds of kingdoms, devouring them and annihilating them in the ocean of bones.

The skeletons formed the ocean, and those cannons formed floating islands in the sea surrounded by the rest of the troops, constantly pouring fire on the opposite kingdom positions, crushing the resistance and attacks of the kingdom army again and again. The sisters marched with the army, their arrows precise and deadly, and the knights who rushed up before they were prepared suffered a great loss, and they shot them to the ground.

"Charge! For the kingdom! ”

The commander of the knights had no choice, he knew that in this case they could only keep charging to fight their way through the skeleton army (although only their blood) and use the advantage of the cavalry to crush the opponent as much as possible, otherwise their cavalry would have no chance of winning.

More than a thousand knights who were ready began to accelerate in the barracks, increasing their impact as much as possible. They were not wrong, under the desperate charge of the heavy cavalry, the skeletons were directly trampled to pieces, and before the riders could wave their weapons, these knights wiped out thousands of skeletons with a single charge, and the effect was very obvious. If this charge can continue a few more times, even if the battle cannot be won, it can inflict huge casualties on the opponent, and your own troops will have a chance to retreat.

If things really develop like that, maybe the kingdom's troops still have a chance, after all, although there are many skeletons, they have not all entered the battlefield, and the tens of thousands of skeletons in front are easily overwhelmed by five thousand cavalry. Of course, the premise is that these troops are all skeletons, and the kingdom side will have a show. Still, could we just use the Skeletons over to launch such a ferocious attack? Of course not.

Hidden among the army of skeletons, the goblins flashed their sharp spears, and the strong barbarian fighters jumped out and pounced on the heavy cavalry on their horses.

At a distance of less than 50 meters, the spears in the hands of the spear-throwers of the Goblin Gangs became extremely ferocious, and once hit by the spear, even a Kingdom knight in heavy armor would be pierced in the heart. And in the face of barbarian fighters, they simply cannot play an advantage against ordinary infantry, these big men who can match high-ranking warriors only need a sword, save you from the horse's horse leg splitting, and cut the rider in two.

Before the cavalry of the kingdom could go a hundred meters, they were all stopped by the warriors who were hiding in the army of skeletons, and once they stopped, the surrounding skeleton troops would pile up human walls and swallow them up with men and horses, leaving only scraps of flesh and broken armor.

The walls had collapsed, the horses were gone, and even if the mages activated the defensive magic array, the furious elemental energy tore thousands of skeletons to pieces, but it could not stop the footsteps of this mighty army.

Thirty thousand warriors of the kingdom of Subic were surrounded by enemy legions five times their size, skeletons covered the ground, the undead blocked the sky, flames burned in the camp, and elemental power surged and roared.

However, no matter how desperately the kingdom's army worked, how many means they used, and how many skeletons they destroyed, they could not stop the other party's attack. Knights can't, mages can't, crossbowmen keep plucking the crossbow strings, but even this doesn't do much damage to the skeleton army, in fact, bow and arrow weapons don't have a significant effect on the skeleton army if they don't have magic, because even if the opponent is half broken, they can continue to attack on the legs of others.

At this moment, there is only one way for the kingdom to retreat and escape, but even if it is this way, it will have to pay a huge price, and it may not even have a chance to run. The powerful men of the kingdom are all dispatched, and they are going to open a way for the great army, a way to cover their retreat. But they did not yet know that on the side of the strong, their enemies outnumbered their legion by too much.
