Chapter 358. A staggering number of skeletons

Even the fireball technique released by the mage apprentices and honed by the Einface Empire for countless years is worthy of its name!

The fire elemental condensed into the limit exploded directly, and the raging and tyrannical flame dragon frantically swept all the obstacles within 15 meters of the surrounding area, the blazing temperature was as high as thousands, and the skeleton warriors in the center were directly burned into bone powder!

Even more than 30 meters away from the fireball's explosion point, scorching waves of air mixed with flames were still rolling in the group of skeletons.

A group of skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers were swept away.

There are also many skeleton warriors who were contaminated with the flames in the air waves, and were instantly turned into bone meal by the high temperature contained, even the tattered ancient armor could not prevent the slightest, and they turned into powder in the high temperature and fell down in a row.

Fireballs were thrown down, and at least thousands of skeleton warriors were directly killed.

This shows the strength of the spell.

However, after the mage apprentices released all three of their fireballs today, they had no choice but to retreat and hand over their casting position to the Vecchian archers behind them.

Spells are powerful, but spell slots limit the number of spells they can cast.

Or staying power.

As long as the crossbowman has arrows and stamina, he can shoot an infinite number of times.

Mages are different, every day the spell slot is fixed, after releasing the spell slot that is limited in the spell slot, they can only leave the field gloomily, and for the time being, the heavy responsibility of long-range strike will continue to be handed over to the crossbowman behind them.

In fact, in large-scale battles, the majority of ranged casualties are inflicted by crossbowmen.

As for the mage, they will only appear in strategic locations.

For example, if you are about to break through a certain point of the enemy's defenses, or if you are about to perform a spell attack on the enemy's elite troops.

Therefore, in the ordinary battle scenes, the mages will never waste their precious spell slots, after all, when the spells contained in all the spell slots fail, the only thing left may be a cowardly body, and a more decorative wooden stick in the hand, even the farmer can't beat it in hand-to-hand combat.

Even if there are more spell slots and more powerful spells or archmages, they will not take risks easily, and they will spend all the spells in their spell slots, and there will always be a few left to save their lives.

The same is true of these mage apprentices.

Although the area-of-effect fireball spell has been used, they still have the magic bullet spell.

This is a monomer spell.

It's like a two-handed sledgehammer.

However, due to the relatively close release distance, only about 50 meters, it is wiser for the mage apprentices not to plan to release, and to reserve it for an attack on enemies that may appear at the city walls or gates.

Kant also understood this, but looked at the skeleton warrior who was still like an ant below, and his face was depressed.

The void opened by the Fireball Spell has been refilled.

A staggering number of skeleton soldiers and skeleton warriors poured out of the canopy of death, and it was not known how many there were, while the higher-ranking skeleton cavalry and death knights had not yet appeared.

Even other undead classes have not yet appeared.

Now Kant may only be facing the tip of the iceberg of the undead army.

The endless death disaster is to crush the enemy troops alive and die with an absolute number.

"You can only hold on."

Kant's face was grim.

But in his heart, he suddenly felt a little unclear, he didn't know how many undead clans were in this death canopy, whether it would really be endless, and it could crush the entire sentry oasis.

The skeleton warriors underneath that had been shattered into bones were almost piled up.

Even in the lake, there are many bones floating in the lake.

As for the east, west, and south, the skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers were mixed, and they had come to the bottom of the cliff, and were beating the rock formations in vain with the rotten weapons in their hands, knocking out small white marks.

But more often than not, it was their rotten weapons that simply shattered, leaving the skeletons standing in place.

They do not have siege weapons.

There are no tools for climbing or the ability to go straight to the city walls!

Therefore, the main direction of these undead's attacks automatically shifted from the north side to the southeast side when the pieces of skeleton warriors fell.

Because on the southeast side, there is exactly a 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramp connecting the city gates!

"Here we are."

Kant heard the sound of the horse's hooves in a hurry, and his heart was already clear.

A desert bandit who was a herald came quickly, threw away the reins in his hand, quickly turned over and dismounted, rushed up the stairs of the city wall to Kant, and reported in a quick voice: "My lord, the city gate is under heavy attack by the enemy!" ”

"Got it."

Kant nodded calmly.

At the same time, he asked the desert bandit next to him, "Which gate is Manid currently stationed at?" ”

"East Gate!" Someone immediately answered.

"Hmm."

Kant nodded and commanded, "Tell him to stick to the east gate." ”

"Yes!" The desert robber who replied nodded, turned and left.

Kant pondered slightly, then stepped forward, and at the same time turned to Bandak and said, "Let's go to the south gate." ”

"Understood." Bandak followed.

The current "Drehem" castle, with only two passages, the south gate and the east gate, can be said to be the only point where the castle may be breached, of course, it needs to be paid attention to.

However, there are differences between the two gates.

The inside of the east gate belongs to the military administration area, and a group of troops can be reinforced.

Manid was in charge of that block, which could also make up for his weakness in commanding battles, so Kant demanded that he just hold on to it and not be breached, and brought him the 2 pages of strange things that could summon elemental giants beforehand.

The south gate is different.

This gate is a commercial and civilian gate, so there are few troops, and it is necessary to arrange for troops to be stationed in advance, and in case of emergency, it is necessary to lead troops directly to reinforce it.

Having Bendak go to garrison the southern gate, Kant also intended to use his personal strength.

After all, the current Bandak.

It's the strongest!

Even Kant could not actually compare with this apostle of the underworld.

Whether it is individual combat power or summoning a team of underworld invaders, it can block the breakthrough of those undead, and maybe it can also create the illusion of poor defense, so that the extraordinary power of those undead can suffer a life!

Quick transfer to the South Gate.

On the ramparts, crossbowmen are leaning on towers and arrow towers to shoot indiscriminately.

At the same time, at the city gate, there was a violent beating sound, clanging, as if there were countless people outside struggling to get in, but the fierce sound was mixed with a strange crisp sound.

Kant squinted, and of course he could hear what the crunch was coming from.

It's clearly the sound of broken bones!

Quickly walked up to the city gate, followed the platform built before to the location of the city gate of the urn city, and the 5-meter-wide and 20-meter-long ramp outside was already full of skeleton warriors.

They are holding decaying spears or swords in their hands, wearing decaying armor in the style of antiquity.

It was crowding towards the city gate.

The skeletal warriors who had already touched the gates were using their weapons to pound heavily on the well-made and heavy wooden gates, including the outside of the wooden gates, and there was a layer of iron bars the thickness of thumbs, welded alive, which was the source of the sound.

It's just that these skeletons can't do any damage to the city gate at all, maybe only a few traces, and their rotten weapons can't even knock on the iron gate, even if it knocks on the Atsugi gate!

"Whoosh whoosh—"

At the gates, Svadia crossbowmen and Vecchia archers are still shooting.

The black shadows of the road covered the road like a torrential rain, and on the ramp, a large number of skeleton warriors fell because of it, and almost every moment, a free ramp appeared, which was immediately filled by the skeleton warriors who rushed up from behind.

The crossbowmen stationed at the city gate urn are all thorough elites.

Also included are 2 archmages who have yet to make a move.

50 Vekia marksmen, although the rapid fire is not as good as the Livingston Ranger, but the rapid fire at close range within 20 meters, every arrow hits the center of the skull eyebrows, and there is still no problem.

Coupled with the accurate shooting of the Swadia crossbowmen, the scene was very harmonious at one point.

That's right.

It's just very harmonious.

Each time these 50 Vecchian marksmen, plus 30 Swadia crossbowmen, they always cleared the 20-meter ramp in a short period of time.

Then, in a short time, it was refilled by the group of skeleton warriors.

Back and forth.

The scene was unusually harmonious.

Standing at the top of the gate of the urn city, Kant's face was calm, and his eyes were a little more relaxed.

As piles of scattered bones descended the ramp, the skulls of the skeletal warriors were hit by precise arrows, and the danger of the gates had not increased, but he felt that he was still at ease.

It was Bandak, who looked relaxed and said with a smile: "It's very simple. ”

"yes."

Kant nodded approvingly: "Simple." ”

However, he still frowned, looking at the skeleton warriors in the outside world who were still full and filling the entire sentry oasis, the corners of his eyes twitched: "The number of these skeletons is estimated to be at least 40,000 people, right?" ”

"Well, maybe 50,000 is there, you know, skeletons don't have flesh and blood, and they occupy a small area."

Bandak replied: "In short, there are a lot of them. ”

"Huh." Kant chuckled, but there was a little more depression in his eyes: "So if this group of skeletons focuses on attacking a certain point of ours, can they form a bridge paved with bones and rush directly to the city wall?" ”

"It's... Hardly. Bandak's eyes narrowed slightly, and the red glow flickered.

It's possible.

Once the group of gnolls who had crossed the Naren Desert and were almost exhausted were able to break through the cauldron and sink the boat, and with such a brazen and resolute impact of death, they all rushed directly to the city wall, almost crushing Kant's original army.

What's more, now, those skeleton warriors themselves have no concept of death.

Laid into a wall composed of bones.

It's really possible!

Although it is 20 meters, it seems that it is not so difficult to fill a city wall from low to high to form a slope for the physique of more than 50,000 skeleton warriors and skeleton soldiers!

And in the death canopy behind them, there may be more undead spirits!
