Chapter 269. Final Encounter!!

When the extremely thick smoke of gunpowder slowly dissipated, the hellish scene on earth was also completely displayed in front of Chopin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The bones on the ground, the broken limbs, the hot blood, the falling flames, the flickering white spots, all these constitute a slightly bizarre and tragic scene.

"Your Majesty, there are only three hundred spearmen left in the current assembly, five hundred more in the Barek infantry, more than two hundred cavalry in the Guards, six hundred in line infantry, and the artillery intact."

Hearing the report of the guards on the side, Chopin also nodded, although they successfully wiped out this skeleton army in this battle, but the price Chopin paid was naturally not small, and thousands of imperial soldiers died tragically in the hands of these undead skeletons.

However, war is so cruel and ruthless, he will never show mercy to people because of their weakness, but will destroy the weak a thousand times.

"Rest in place for half an hour."

Glancing at the situation of the Imperial soldiers around him, Chopin was not in a hurry to move forward, but calmly gave the order to rest in place.

The long confrontation with these undead skeletons is not only the physical exertion of these imperial soldiers, but also the huge pressure that has been lingering mentally.

The turbulent collision with these undead skeletons makes every Imperial soldier nervous all the time, because in such a bloody collision, the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe.

In fact, Chopin's condition at this time was also physically and mentally exhausted, after all, the pressure on him from the quasi-golden skeleton just now was too great, and under such a perverted pursuit, he still had to command the confrontation of the whole audience, and the pressure could be imagined.

************

At the same moment, sitting on the highest watchtower in the central area of the entire undead city, the golden skeleton wearing a crown suddenly trembled, as if it felt some great existence, its body suddenly shook, and immediately fell to its knees, but in the constantly jumping soul fire, it was an extremely fanatical emotion.

"Holy Lord......

"Sendry...... Enter...... Intruder ...... Already ...... Attack here, I ...... Need...... Want your ...... Pay ......"

Then, there was a staccato and muffled sound.

And when the golden skeleton listened to the voice that sounded directly from the depths of its soul, it fell into silence, a deathly silence—

But at the same moment, the rich cyan flame also beat at an unprecedented frequency, as if it was thinking about something.

The golden skeleton was naturally aware of the possibility of success in the implementation of the plan mentioned by the "Holy Lord", but no matter what the final result was, its sacrifice was inevitable.

"May ...... Willing. ”

After a brief silence, the golden skeleton gave an affirmative answer.

"It's ...... Very good. ”

The voice disappeared, and the magnificent consciousness was instantly hidden in the depths of the golden skeleton's soul.

***********

"March!"

As soon as the time of half an hour was up, Chopin immediately gave the order to attack.

Several consecutive hard battles with the undead skeleton did cause a lot of losses to the imperial soldiers under Chopin, but the morale of the imperial soldiers left behind has gradually climbed to the peak.

However, as the army continued to advance, Chopin's face became more and more strange, because along the way, there was not even a single undead skeleton that came to intercept or harass them.

As soon as he thought of this, Chopin's brows suddenly furrowed, and then questions sprung up in his mind.

Didn't those undead skeletons fight to stop them from advancing towards the central area of the undead city before, but now they let them advance.

"Your Majesty, will there be an ambush ahead?"

A guard soldier cautiously surveyed his surroundings and whispered to Chopin's side.

"Hmm."

Chopin also nodded, the performance of these undead skeletons at this time was too strange, and he couldn't be careless.

"Stop moving."

Chopin whispered a few words next to the guards, and then the remaining two hundred or so guards cavalry quickly dispersed in all directions.

"Dada-Da-"

Heavy horses' hooves slammed against the dark earth, bringing a crisp sound and splashes of dust.

A quarter of an hour later, the scattered cavalry returned one after another to deliver the news, but to Chopin's surprise, apart from some scattered undead skeletons wandering unconsciously, no signs of large-scale undead skeletons were found.

The avenue leading to the central area seemed to have been completely opened towards Chopin at this time, but the more this happened, his brow tightened, and he always felt that a boulder hung in his heart, which made him restless.

Just in case, Chopin asked the Guards cavalry to go out and scout carefully, and the results obtained were the same as before, which made Chopin even more confused.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chopin's frown finally relaxed.

It was only then that Chopin realized that he had fallen into the most obvious mistake that he had always believed that the objects or creatures lurking in the central area were extremely important to these undead skeletons.

Therefore, they will definitely send a large army to continue to encircle and suppress, and what they have not considered is that they will continue to harass in these two major battles.

It's just that what he has never thought about, and never thought about, is that the number of skeletons in the city of the dead has long been stretched.

Several head-to-head encounters with the army of undead skeletons before and the intermittent collisions that followed have wiped out most of the skeletons in the undead city, and the remaining undead skeletons are naturally stuck in the central area, so what undead skeletons come to harass or encircle them.

After figuring it out, Chopin was also a little crying and laughing for a while, but now that he figured out the reason, he immediately ordered his army to continue to advance.

Because of the artillery, the advance speed of Chopin's imperial soldiers was undoubtedly greatly limited, so it took nearly half an hour for everyone to reach the huge lake in the central area of the city.

There, the remaining tens of thousands of skeletons stood in battle, seemingly ready for a final useless resistance.

Among the tens of thousands of undead skeletons, the number of skeleton reapers, and in addition to the skeleton reapers, there are two thousand skeleton spearmen, two thousand skeleton archers, hundreds of skeleton knights, and dozens of necromancers have nine strange existences of mages.

As for the lowest-level skeleton warriors, there was none, and obviously, this was the most elite force in this undead city, and it was also the last living force.

Chopin did not rush to attack, but let his Imperial soldiers deliberately distance themselves from the skeleton army in front of him, although the other side has long-range attack classes such as skeleton archers and skeleton spearmen, and the number of these troops alone has exceeded the total number of various types of soldiers under his command, but war is never a simple comparison of the number of both sides.

With long-range attack weapons such as muskets and artillery, Chopin was naturally not afraid to fight against the undead skeletons on the opposite side.

Although the shooting distance of the musket is not far, it is roughly the same as that of those skeleton archers and skeleton spear throwers, but the solid iron ball fired by the cannon can shoot out for thousands of meters, far beyond the shooting range of those skeleton archers and skeleton spearmen.

After the gunners had placed their guns, Chopin began to plan the layout of his army.

The line infantry was divided into two teams, one team naturally followed closely behind the spearmen and carried out a ruthless sweep of the frontal attacking enemy, and the other team was arranged on the periphery of the artillery camp in case the undead skeletons on the opposite side suddenly broke in by some special means, and they would definitely be able to give the other side unexpected blows and surprises at that time.

As for the Balek infantry, they shared the defensive duty with the spearmen at the forefront, while more than 200 guards cavalry roamed the flanks, ready to rush to help.

It's just that before Chopin's arrangement was completed, the skeleton army in front of him seemed to have received some order and rushed forward.

Seeing this scene, Chopin's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and his face couldn't help but become solemn, and then he pulled out the standard long sword pinned to his body and swung it forward.

"Shoot—"

With Chopin's order, the sound of rolling thunder suddenly emerged, and then the seemingly invincible black phantoms were also like bright meteors, crossing the void.

"Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-"

It's just that although the black phantoms are as bright, gorgeous and ephemeral as meteors, they are different from the beauty brought by meteors, and the black phantoms bring endless killing opportunities.

These are cannonballs, all of which have gone into solid iron balls propelled by the expanding force of gunpowder!

Under the action of the three-step process of gunpowder combustion, expansion and explosion, these solid iron balls that rotated at high speed could not wait to burst out of the bronze tube.

In a very short period of time, the movement speed of this solid iron ball that easily tore through the air had reached the extreme, and then with a sharp roar like a devil's moan, it smashed down towards the army of skeletons in front of it.

Six-pound cannonballs the size of fists fell on the army of skeletons, like wolves entering a flock of sheep, tearing apart the bodies of seven or eight undead in an instant.

The lethality caused by the 6-pounder guns is certainly good, but it is a little small compared to the four 24-pounder Guards infantry guns.

The power caused by the lead bullet fired by the Guards infantry cannon was like a giant waving his huge fist and slamming it on the ground, and in an instant, deep pits appeared in the dark earth, and the dozen or so skeletons nearby were crushed into a pile of bone slag in an instant.

I have to say that the power of artillery is indeed palpitating and shocking, under this crazy catharsis of firepower, if it is an ordinary human army, under this storm-like blow, I am afraid that it will fall into rout in an instant, but at this time, the object of these shells is those undead skeletons, a group of dead things without any emotional fluctuations, and they don't know what pain is, even if the body is broken and the bones are broken, as long as the soul fire in the empty eyes is not extinguished, they will never fall, and the undead skeletons who escaped death one by one, did not have the slightest intention of retreating, but raised the weapon in his hand and rushed forward brazenly.

It's just Chopin, but he never wanted to give the other party any chance to fight back.

"Sneer, sneer—"

Accompanied by the sound of burning fire, the raging flames of the blazing muzzle also emerged in an instant.

"Boom Boom-"

In an instant, forty cannons opened fire in unison, and solid iron balls poured out of the black pressed cannon holes, drawing one graceful arc after another in mid-air, and then a huge sound like thunder began to echo under the crystal sky.

As for the undead skeletons that were unfortunately hit head-on by the solid iron balls, they were immediately crushed into bone slag, but just like that, it still seemed that they could not tell the anger of the solid iron balls that shot out one by one, and after slamming into the ground, they brought up the smoke and dust rolling all over the ground.

And those undead skeletons in the distance can only passively accept this continuous artillery attack at this time.

In modern warfare, because of the emergence of artillery, even the course and development of the war have been completely changed, which shows the importance of artillery, and at this time, it is naturally invincible to use these civilization crystals from the earth's modern technology to deal with the undead skeletons.

With the dazzling flames rising and the deafening roar of artillery, with the bombardment of the solid iron balls, several bloody roads covered with bones flowed out in the turbulent sea of skeletons.

Under the terrifying power of artillery, whether it is the so-called low-level troops or elite troops, there is no difference, as long as it is hit head-on, it will turn into broken bones, this point, there are already "skeleton knight kings" and the quasi-golden skeleton have been verified with their own lives, if they are strong, it is impossible to resist the bombardment of the artillery, and the final outcome is only death.

The artillery firing was round after round, and by the time the undead skeletons in front of them passed through the billowing smoke and black gunsmoke, six rounds of artillery fire had been carried out, and this also meant that the collision between the two sides had not yet begun, and the undead skeletons had lost nearly 2,000 troops.

But then, it was undoubtedly a great test for the spearmen and Barlake infantry who were facing head-on in front.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

It's just that an undead skeleton has not yet approached, and the skeleton archers and skeleton spearmen in the rear seem to be a little impatient to launch an attack.

In the face of this rain of arrows and spear-throwing attacks, for a while, these imperial soldiers really had no good way to deal with it, except to dodge as much as possible, they could only choose to carry it hard.

Scarlet blood stained the dark black earth below in an instant, and then a large number of skeleton reapers swarmed up and launched a fierce attack on the Imperial soldiers.

In an instant, the defensive ranks of spearmen and Barek infantry were crumbling.
