Chapter 256. Upcoming Siege !!
As a combination of the world's mystical forces evolved into the Guards Polish cavalry, in addition to having stronger combat capabilities than the original, the new throwing skills have given them quite strong long-range strike capabilities. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Especially after the system endowed the thrown short spear with the dual attributes of "demon breaking" and "penetration", it was undoubtedly the best way to deal with the giant skeleton in front of him that was shrouded in an invisible black mist.
As the Polish cavalry approached on both flanks, this giant skeleton was also instinctively restless and restless, unlike ordinary low-level skeletons, as one of the life endowments, it had a fairly strong intuition at the beginning of its creation, but by the time it reacted, it was too late.
With the roar of the horse's hooves shaking the ground, a Polish cavalryman of the Guards also drew his short spear pinned to the horse's back with great skill, and then threw it all at the giant skeleton.
Although these Guards Polish cavalry had not learned any throwing skills at all before this, nor did they have any experience in actual drills, under the effect of systematic "indoctrination", their throwing movements were impeccable as if they had been practiced thousands of times.
Hundreds of short spears were thrown in unison, entrenched in the air like black clouds, and the fierce friction between the high-speed flying short spears and the air brought out a sharp roar, which was the prelude to the arrival of death, and it was the prelude to the light washing the darkness.
Looking at the movements of the Polish cavalry of the guards, the soul flames in the empty eyes of the two skeleton mages jumped quickly.
As if stimulated by some violent stimulus, a series of seven or eight blazing fireballs flew out of the hands of the two skeletons, bringing out ripples of flame that continued to spread outward in the ranks of the Polish cavalry of the Guards.
The terrifying power that erupted after these fireballs landed on the ground was not much different from that of ordinary artillery.
In just an instant, dozens of Guards Polish cavalry were drowned in the sea of fire, and then fell, but this did not stop the landing of the short spears in the sky.
"Whoosh whoosh—"
One by one, the short spears pierced into the protective shield shrouded in the black mist, and with the flash of a strange light at the tip of the short spear, the lead bullets in it were like falling into the black mist, but for the short spears, it was like walking on the ground, easily crossing.
As a ripple spread like water, the short spears pierced through the black mist and slammed straight into the giant skeleton's body.
"Click-"
With the fall of the first short spear, an inaudible cracking sound was also heard, and with the first clearly visible crack appeared, under the terrible throwing of the short spear, the second crack, the third crack ...... It also followed.
Under the effect of the "Penetration" effect, the giant skeletal body, which even lead bullets could easily penetrate with great difficulty, was now far less solid than before.
The power of hundreds of short spears thrown at the same time was undoubtedly amazing, but under the effect of this huge impact, the body of the giant skeleton involuntarily retreated nearly ten meters, and then plowed a deep ravine in the dark black ground.
But that's just the beginning.
As soon as the first wave of short spears hit the ground, a Polish cavalryman of the Guards began the second round of throwing.
Sen Leng's short spear flickered with a strange and uncertain light, once again piercing through the protective shield formed by the black mist, and then came as promised, slamming into the body of the giant skeleton.
After the second round of ejections, the thick black mist that had originally wrapped around the giant skeleton was now only a thin layer, and there were countless more cracks on the jade-like shiny bones.
The huge body staggered, but never fell, as if making a final insistence.
However, the soul fire that kept dimming in his eyes showed that its state was extremely bad at this time.
The two necromancers seemed to be shocked and angry at this, but no matter how much they waved the staff in their hands, they couldn't change the current decline.
And when the third and final round of short spears falls, it announces that the time of death for the giant skeleton has come.
A series of short spears smashed into the giant skeleton's body, no matter how unwilling and desperate it was, with the roar of the earth shaking, the huge body fell like this.
"Click, click, click—"
And as the giant skeleton fell, a series of crackling bean popping sounds also sounded, as if it had reached an invisible critical point, and the original criss-crossing cracks on the giant skeleton's body were completely shattered at this time, bringing out bone fragments all over the ground.
And at the moment when the giant skeleton's body fell, the soul fire, which was much larger than the average skeleton warrior, was just about to escape, but the crystal white dots quickly wrapped around it, dragging it desperately towards the holy cross hanging from Chopin's neck.
It's just that the white light that has always been tried and tested, but this time it seems to have encountered a rare opponent, and the crystal white light can't stop this soul fire from escaping at all, but is dragged away by the other party.
It's just that what this soul fire didn't expect at all was that its actions were like provoking a hornet's nest, and in an instant, dozens of crystal white dots appeared beside it, and then continued to entangle it.
Immediately afterward, the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of balance, or rather, ...... Tug-of-war, the blue soul fire that used to float quickly is now swaying in mid-air, sometimes retreating backwards, sometimes moving forward.
With the addition of these dozens of crystal white lights, the strength of the two sides seems to be a draw.
However, Chopin, who noticed this strange scene, did not think so at all, and at this time, he could clearly feel that the Holy Cross, which was originally hanging around his neck, was releasing unprecedented light and heat, and a large amount of energy was pouring out like a flood that burst the embankment.
And everything was just as Chopin expected, after a few breaths, dozens of crystal white lights appeared again near the soul fire, seeing this scene, the soul fire desperately wanted to struggle, but under this absolute strength gap, everything was uneasy, no matter how unwilling it was, but it was still dragged into the holy cross by the crystal white light.
With the injection of this amazing heat flow, Chopin could clearly feel that the Holy Cross hanging around his neck seemed to be undergoing some new transformation, and the root cause of all this was that the original annotation: seal: 80/100 quickly changed to seal: 100/100.
"Holy Cross: a glorious gift from God to the earth, with incredible power. (Current Status: Unblocked)"
"Energy Absorption: Absorbs any negative energy such as evil and fear and converts it into energy that can be used directly by the system."
"Dispelling the darkness: The Holy Cross is a shining symbol of God, condensing the supreme divine power, which can channel the divine power and dispel the darkness at critical moments."
And in addition to these, there is a small print note: Seal: 0/200.
Compared with before, today's Holy Cross has a new skill, dispelling darkness, the introduction of this skill in the system is a little ambiguous, and Chopin can't figure out the specific use of this thing, but thinking about it, it shouldn't disappoint him.
At the same moment, in the depths of the most glorious hall in the central area of the undead city in front of him, in a circular altar covering an area of thousands of square meters, an earth-shattering roar also came from it.
And as this desolate, majestic, and heavy, as if it had crossed the long river of time, the huge roar spread, and in the outside world, countless skeleton warriors, skeleton archers, and skeleton knights knelt down one after another to show absolute submission.
However, in this circular altar, it was filled with an unknown amount of white liquid, and with the sound of an angry roar, a large amount of liquid also splashed in all directions, and then, a huge arm nearly ten meters long suddenly stretched out.
This is a perfect arm that cannot be described in words, the crystal bones are more clear and exquisite than the white jade ocean, although it is only a white bone, but with a thrilling beauty.
It's hard to imagine what kind of creature is, just one arm is nearly ten meters long, such an existence, the so-called giant skeleton that Chopin solved before is probably nothing more than an ant-like existence in front of this creature.
It's just that this perfect arm has just stretched out, and in the depths of this altar, the owner of this arm let out an unwilling roar again, and the nearly ten-meter-long arm fell back into the white liquid, and the entire circular altar also regained its original tranquility.
***********
As the giant skeleton body fell, a series of thick clouds of smoke and dust floated with it.
In the smoke and dust rising from the sky, the bodies of the two necromancers flew lightly from the air, and then landed on the ground like feathers, as if they had not suffered any injuries.
However, at this time, the two necromancers also seemed to be in an unprecedented rage, and the giant skeleton given by the "Holy Lord" was actually gone, which made them account for it in the future.
But without giving the two necromancers much time to get angry, the Polish Guards cavalry rushed in like a whirlwind, followed by the rested Guards Grenadier and the Chasseurs, who had just suffered heavy losses.
"Look for death!"
The huge anger and the terrifying fear hidden in the depths of the heart completely exploded at this moment, and the successive sniping, coupled with the fall of the giant skeleton, made the emotions of the two necromancers also fall to the brink of rampage.
Their wisdom is not high, but the fear of "who" comes from the instinct of life.
In an instant, fireballs, wind blades, and ice blades ...... All sorts of spells beckoned towards the cavalry in front of them.
And under this stormy and rapid offensive, a famous imperial warrior is also constantly falling.
However, the continuous release of spells was also a great burden for these necromancers, and the moment their movements stopped, the cavalry rushed forward with their sabers.
Under this continuous, endless onslaught, these necromancers, no matter how extraordinary they were, barely managed to hold on for a few breaths, and then they were overwhelmed by the iron horses that rushed by like a tidal wave.
After taking out the two necromancers, the cavalry did not retreat, but continued to launch a surging offensive towards the Skeleton Warrior 2.0 version in the rear.
Under the baptism of sabers, flintlock pistols, and short spears, although these skeleton warriors are much stronger than the cannon fodder level, but under the impact of the empire's elite iron cavalry, where do they have any ability to resist, just barely struggle, and they are completely wiped out.
At the same time, on the other side, the battle between the skeleton army and the line infantry was also coming to an end, because a spearman was not afraid of death, buying a lot of time for the line infantry in the rear, and a skeleton warrior also fell in an endless stream under the continuous roar of lead bullets.
With the fall of the last skeleton warrior, the lineup of the line infantry can be said to be almost unscathed, but the 2,400 spearmen summoned are still alive at this time, but there are less than 200 people, which can also be seen that the fierceness of this battle, the final victory is piled up with the blood of countless imperial soldiers.
In the next few days, Chopin continued to let the chasseurs harass the periphery one after another, but there was a lesson from the past, no matter how many temptations these chasers were, there were no large-scale troops in the undead city.
And after several days of intense reconnaissance and tactical research, looking at the glorious undead city in front of him, Chopin felt that he still had to take the city, which was an instinct in the dark, and it was completely unclear, but Chopin believed in this intuition at this time.
These few days of observation gave Chopin a general understanding of the defensive strength of the undead city in front of him.
The walls were surrounded by tower-like buildings, and in each of these buildings were four skeleton archers, as well as an "obsidian" archer of the same level as the skeleton knights.
On the city wall, there are also a large number of various types of troops patrolling at all times, and once something unexpected happens, there will be a large number of undead troops to coordinate defense in an instant.
In the past few days, Chopin has made a conservative estimate, and then came to a conclusion that people will inevitably retreat, the number of skeleton warriors alone is not less than forty or fifty thousand, not to mention the rest of the elite troops.
If you want to conquer this undead city, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult.
Of course, the power that Chopin currently controls alone will never be able to shake the undead city in front of him, but having energy means that Chopin can also summon other troops.
Although he didn't know why these undead skeletons around him rushed over one after another, and what secrets were hidden in this undead city, his intuition from the depths of his heart told him that he must gnaw on the hard bone in front of him.
