Chapter 264. A Secretly Planned Attack!!

"Sure enough!"

Looking at the undead skeleton figure that suddenly burst out from the stone, Chopin's face immediately became extremely gloomy. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

These damn guys had already struck his soldiers twice in a row before, but until now, the other party was still beating the idea of his artillerymen.

After seeing the amazing power produced by the artillery, the will behind these undead skeletons was also shocked, so they also tried every possible way to solve these cannons, so after the city wall collapsed, they deliberately sent hundreds of elite-level undead skeletons to lurk under the rubble, ready to kill those artillery who entered the undead city later.

Although I don't know where these guys came out of nowhere, the power of the weapons used by these guys is so amazing, but the shortcomings of these guys are also quite obvious, that is, they themselves are too weak, if they are successfully ambushed by these hundreds of undead skeletons at the elite level, I am afraid that it will not be long before these guys will be killed.

For these dead creatures that have no blood flow at all and do not need to breathe at all, even if they stay in a confined environment for a long time, there will be no suffocation or coma.

And the skeleton warriors and skeleton archers who had just resisted were just deliberately done by the consciousness behind the scenes, in order to lower the vigilance of Chopin and his party, so as not to suspect them to capture the city too easily.

In fact, if the will behind the scenes was not too big, but directly launched a surging attack by thunderous means, those spearmen, Barlake infantry and line infantry who had just entered the city of the undead would have died tragically at the hands of these elite undead skeletons.

Because the place where those elite undead skeletons were ambushed just now was exactly under the cover where those line infantry were hiding, and the spearmen and Barlake infantry were fighting those skeleton warriors, where could they take care of the line infantry behind them.

And at this time, if those elite undead skeletons that were hidden under the rubble suddenly burst out and hurt people, I was afraid that most of the infantry would die tragically in the hands of these elite undead skeletons in an instant.

The most fundamental reason why the line infantry is strong is the lead bullets that are constantly fired from the flintlock pistols in their hands, although they also have the ability to fight bayonets, and their combat power is not weak, but they still have a considerable gap compared with these elite undead skeletons that do not dodge at all, just attack frantically, and are enough to cause the most damage in the shortest time.

Without these line infantry as backups, the skeleton archers in the rear could cooperate with the skeleton warriors to kill Chopin's spearmen and Barrec infantry in turn, and there were also those elite undead skeletons attacking from the rear.

At that time, Chopin and his party were actually quite far away from the city of the dead, and in the rapidly changing battlefield, this sudden change was enough to turn the tide of the battle.

It's just that the existence behind the scenes obviously doesn't look down on the "small fish and shrimp" in front of them, but is determined to destroy the artillery in the rear.

Obviously, in the eyes of that will, although the damage inflicted on his men by these line infantry was staggering, it was far inferior to the strange weapons in the rear, and the reason why the will behind the scenes wanted to destroy those artillery at all costs was because he actually felt the breath of destruction enough to destroy himself in these weapons.

It's just that the sky is not as good as the people, and the will behind the scenes originally thought that after paying a lot of price, he finally led the cannon to the ambush location, but he didn't expect that Chopin, who had been yin twice by the other party, was so vigilant.

Although the confrontation between spearmen, line infantry and Barek infantry and those skeleton warriors and skeleton archers seemed to be extremely difficult, and his side also paid the price of hundreds of imperial warriors forever after defeating those undead skeletons, but in Chopin's opinion, the final result was a little too easy.

Although it is not clear how many undead skeletons there are in the city, it is definitely not a few, and it is far from being stretched. However, even if the other party chooses to retain its strength, it is impossible to just send these troops to entangle with those soldiers of the empire under him, such an act, coupled with his previous experience, naturally made Chopin a little surprised.

And after using the "holy light" in his body to check, Chopin's eyes barely possessed the ability to "see", and through the pieces of rubble, he could also vaguely "see" the figure hidden under the rubble.

Therefore, the Imperial soldiers who had already broken into the city of the dead and were ready to continue to advance were immediately allowed to retreat, and the large army under Chopin's command immediately stopped advancing.

Instead, the artillery was reversed and retreated some distance before they were ready to fire again.

The will behind the scenes naturally did not know that Chopin had discovered its conspiracy, for "it", it could only feel the changes in the situation of the outside world through those undead skeletons, and at this time, those skeleton warriors had all become Chopin's stored energy, and the skeleton archers who escaped had all dived into the depths of the undead city, so only those elite undead skeletons remained, still lurking under the rubble, ready to launch a deadly attack at any time.

As for the buildings in the city, there are naturally undead skeletons as the "eyes" of the will behind the scenes to observe the changes in the situation, but in order to avoid Chopin's suspicion, the distance is also relatively far, and the observation situation is also relatively hesitant.

And when the situation in all aspects is fed back to "it", the will behind the scenes is also quite hesitant, if you give up directly, "it" is naturally quite unwilling, and the other party's strange actions make him retreat or advance for a while.

It's just that the other party is still hesitating, but Chopin has never been a procrastinator, and after making up his mind, he immediately asked his artillery to launch a thunderous offensive.

"Boom!"

However, as the first solid iron ball swept across the vast sky with a sharp roar, smashing the pile of rubble, one solid iron ball after another also followed.

"Boom Boom-"

And under this thunderstorm-like terrorist attack, there is no difference between the so-called elite troops and cannon fodder classes at all, because once they are hit head-on by these solid iron balls, there is absolutely no chance of surviving.

However, the reaction of the will behind the scenes is not unpleasant, after confirming that the ambush he set up was discovered by the other party, "it" is also extremely angry, but obviously, no matter how crazy anger and venting can not solve the current dilemma, so at the first time, "it" gave those elite undead skeletons the order to "retreat at full speed".

As the absolute elite of the undead skeletons, the speed of these skeletons in front of them is naturally extremely fast, and they run with all their might, and the speed that erupts in a short period of time is even more amazing than that of galloping horses.

However, at this time, the solid iron balls have also crossed the sky like meteors, bright, dazzling, and faintly with infinite killing opportunities.

In just an instant, half of the elite undead skeletons turned into flying bones under the huge impact of the solid iron ball, and under this huge impact, their seemingly tough bodies were as fragile as a blank sheet of paper, while the remaining elite troops were completely indifferent to the death of their companions, but fled towards the depths of the undead city as fast as possible.

I have to say that the escape speed of these elite troops is indeed fast enough, and dozens of figures scattered and fled in all directions, which suddenly made the idea of those gunners preparing for a second round of bombardment disappear.

And after the solid iron balls landed, they suddenly caused the shattered stones that had been destroyed to suffer an almost nightmare blow again, countless small pieces of broken stones splashed wildly, and the black pressure of gunpowder smoke was mixed with the tumbling gray smoke, like the devil's hideous face, constantly rising and expanding.

The picture seems to be permanently frozen at this moment, and the gray and black smoke that rises is finally solidified into a dead knot that can never be untied.

***********

"Whoa—"

On the bottomless water, a large number of splashes splashed in all directions, like the prelude to a storm, and then a giant arm suddenly stretched out, as if a giant beast was struggling, trying to get up from the water, but it seemed a little weak, the giant arm gradually submerged into the water, and after a long time, this area gradually returned to calm.

And at the same moment, sitting on the highest watchtower in the central area of the entire undead city, the golden skull soul fire wearing a crown suddenly shook, as if feeling some boundless power, the original majesty was not half a point left at the moment, even the entire "human" body trembled completely uncontrollably, and his knees fell to the ground involuntarily, and the soul fire in the empty eyes vibrated wildly at an unimaginable frequency, as if receiving some news.

"Holy Lord...... Mankind...... Mortal enemy...... Have to...... Kill ......"

The words were already staccato and muttered, but then the voice became even deeper, and it was completely difficult to hear what the golden skeleton was saying.

After half a sound, as this terrifying consciousness gradually receded, the golden skeleton regained its position on the throne, and the original terrifying majesty was gradually restored.

However, at this time, the golden skeleton showed a strange expression similar to "contemplation", and then it did not make any movements, and with a wave of the ink-colored staff in its hand, a bright bright spot like a star flew towards the outside.

Then, as if summoned by something, the four skeletons walked into the top watchtower without warning.

Different from ordinary skeletons, the color of the bones on these four skeletons is not pure white, the whole body is like a silver cast, although there is no trace of flesh and blood on the body of these four silver skeletons, but the bare bone structure gives people an indescribable beauty, as if every part of the body is a godsend!

And the soul fire that jumped in the hollow eyes was not the dark blue surging of ordinary skeletons, but the cyan soul fire that was as delicate and clear as jade.

It's just that compared to the golden skeleton on the throne, the almost dense cyan flames in the hollow eyes, the soul fire of these four silver skeletons is undoubtedly much dimmer.

Among the four skeletons, there is also a silver skeleton that seems to be a bit unique, the color of the bones on its body is not the same color as the other silver skeletons, but is wrapped in gold and silver, and it seems to be in an important link of the transition from silver skeletons to gold skeletons.

After the four silver skeletons entered the watchtower, the cyan flames in their eyes began to beat wildly at an alarming frequency, and then they all knelt down about ten meters before the golden skeletons stood.

"Human ...... Kill ......"

The golden skeleton didn't seem to care about the submission of these silver skeletons, and a picture appeared strangely in his empty eyes, and the figure on this picture was Chopin.

As this slightly strange picture emerged, the soul fire of several silver skeletons also kept changing, as if to completely imprint the emerging figure in the soul.

"Holy Lord...... Request...... Must die! ”

With the sound of staccato sounds, the four silver skeletons seemed to have a clear understanding of the target of this attack, and then slowly retreated from the watchtower, only the skeleton wrapped in gold and silver, the cyan soul fire kept jumping in a strange way, as if thinking about something.

***********

At this time, Chopin naturally did not know that the golden skeleton in the watchtower had sent four silver skeletons to kill him after receiving the order of the so-called "Holy Lord", and he was deploying his army to enter the city of the undead at this time.

After repeatedly making sure that the undead skeletons on the outskirts of the city had been cleaned up, he let his artillery stationed in them, but it was still three layers of protection inside and three layers outside, and those skeleton warriors wanted to raid and attack the approach, there was no possibility, and in front, there were spearmen and guards cavalry who had been in charge of exploring the road by the Barek Infantry Regiment, guarding against any possible danger.

For Chopin and others, after the city wall was broken, the real troubles and challenges began.

The undead city in front of him is not the ruins of the human city that Chopin saw before, there are many buildings inside, and the roads are not smooth, but intricate, and in this building, I don't know how many undead skeletons are hidden, and from time to time there are skeleton archers or skeleton spearmen from a certain building to attack with bone arrows or bone spears, and these guys seem to be ironclad unwilling to engage in a head-on confrontation with Chopin and them, often just after a round of attacks, they immediately withdraw away.

As for the harassment of these undead skeletons, Chopin really didn't have any good response for a while.
