Chapter 601: Escape

You don't have to look up to see it, Chama also knows that it is a crossbow arrow issued by the emperor's unique repeating heavy crossbow, because in the swamp, only the emperor's heavy crossbow can shoot a crossbow arrow with such amazing power.

"Emperor"

"Enemy Attack"

She heard the vampires in the sky screaming in a panic, and then she also felt a fluctuation of magical elements in the distance.

There are also mages on the enemy, and there are quite a few of them, and there are also some high-level mages.

She didn't know magic before, she didn't have the qualifications to be a magician, but she is no longer a human, but a death knight, an undead creature that has been transformed by magic like magical creatures, and her body now has a very high affinity for magical elements, so she can already sense the changes in the elements in the air, in fact, she has been trying to learn magic recently.

Quickly pulled the horse's legs out of the mud, and the straightened up Chama began to examine the situation in front of her, she took the shield hanging from the saddle and protected herself, a large number of crossbow arrows appeared from the mist in a whistling sound, and pounced into the crowd of Chama's army, several of which flew past Chama's side, but Chama didn't care about this, because she knew very well that the bodies of the undead creatures had good resistance to long-range weapons such as crossbow arrows and bows, and most of the undead creatures as long as they were not shot in the head, As long as the skeletons don't get hit in the spine, it's fine.

Following the direction in which the crossbow bolts were coming, Chama noticed that the enemy was probably hiding in the woods she had wanted to enter, and at this moment, another crossbow bolt flew out of the mist, and sure enough, it was a double burst of heavy crossbow fire.

Some of the hapless zombies and skeletons fell to the ground in two successive waves of attacks, but as Zama expected, the losses were pitiful, at least relative to the number of low-level undead creatures under her command.

How did the emperor end up here? Tsuma was a little confused, she couldn't figure out what was going on.

As far as the known information goes, the emperor should still be a long way from here, although this time they uncharacteristically ignored the harassment of some undead armies around them, and after sending a part of the army to counterattack, the main force rushed wholeheartedly, but no matter how fast they were, it was impossible for them to rush here before Chama's army, and set up an ambush, which made no sense.

But doubts are doubts, now is not the time to ponder these things, it is not Chama's style to just be beaten and not fight back, and the emperor's fierce attack also made her unable to ignore it, the number of enemies is really quite large, she commanded her army and began to fight back, and her heart even began to get excited because there was a battle to fight.

The undead army does not have archers, and low-level undead creatures without self-awareness cannot become archers, they will only use the weapons in their hands to perform simple chopping actions, and they cannot complete the difficult delicate work of bending the bow and arrows and then aiming and shooting, high-level undead creatures, like vampires, lichs, and death knights, each has its own specialty, and it is impossible to be an archer, so the only one in the undead army with long-range attack ability is only those necromancers, but magic takes time to prepare, Therefore, the undead army can only charge at the risk of the enemy's long-range attacks.

Holding a staggering number of zombies and skeletons in front, Chama's army left the road in the swamp and began to pounce on the woods where the enemy was hidden, the low roars of the zombies came and went, the sound of the skeletons' joints rubbing was even more connected, the ghosts in the sky under the command of the vampires, also flew towards the woods, their shrill howls sounded piercing in the air, these low-level undead creatures charged in a loose formation, and many high-level undead creatures mixed in with them, The black-armoured Death Knight abandoned his horse, the hoarse chanting of the necromancers' incantations rang out, and the giant ghost dragon transformed itself into an imaginary body and rushed into the mist-filled woods to scout the enemy.

Soon, Thuma heard the slightly frightened roar of the ghost dragons ahead.

This made Chama's heart sink slightly, and it could make the ghost dragons so nervous, it seemed that the emperor in the woods was not weak.

Then she saw that from the direction of the woods, countless imperial soldiers were killed like a tide, due to the influence of the fog, Chama couldn't determine how many enemies there were for a while, but these didn't matter, if she wanted to fight the number, she had absolute confidence.

But when some tall figures appeared in her field of vision from the sky, this confidence of Chama disappeared in an instant.

The two red clusters in her eye sockets suddenly swelled due to intense mood swings.

She clearly saw that these tall figures flying in the sky all had a pair of white wings behind them, and the iconic wings and the astonishing number of each other shocked her, and she knew that she was troubled.

"Angel Clan"

The new patriarch of the Angel Clan, Elzak, commanded the Angel Legion led by him personally, and viciously slaughtered the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain into a flock of sheep.

These skilled warriors didn't pay much attention to the low-level undead creatures, and their attacks had a fairly obvious purpose, and they targeted the high-level undead creatures in the undead army.

Because of the last war, the emperor has a wealth of experience in dealing with the undead army, and they know very well what the weakness of the undead army is-as long as they eliminate those high-level undead creatures who are in charge of command, no matter how many low-level undead creatures are not organized, they will not pose much of a threat.

The Angel Legion, which was disbanded after Catherine's departure due to tensions between the Empire and the Angel Clan, has now been re-formed by the ambitious Elzac, and has expanded from the original 5,000 to 7,000 people, and now, half of this elite army of 7,000 people is hunting all kinds of high-level undead creatures in the Chama Army on this battlefield.

On the ground, they swept over the heads of their enemies, using their long swords to attack the high-level undead creatures who were hiding under the protection of low-level undead creatures, and their ability to fly allowed them to take advantage of this battlefield, although there were many zombies and skeletons, they could not do anything about them who came and went freely in the air; In the skies, they take advantage of their speed, not to entangle with the ghosts who outnumber them, but to pick on the vampires who have turned into giant bats, coming and going like the wind, and after a large group of griffons join the warband, the angelic warriors with help are even more comfortable.

Elzak led the way in the enemy's ranks, a dozen of his cronies guarded him, and more than a hundred archangel warriors followed them, a group of people were invincible, leaving a mess behind them.

Elzak knew that this battle, the emperor was victorious, although the total number of the undead army ambushed by the emperor reached nearly 100,000, but the proportion of low-level undead creatures among them was too high, and the number of flying troops was also a little less, the imperial regent Kendall's judgment before the war was correct, the necromancers who were seriously damaged in the last war have not yet recovered, and it has only been a few years, coupled with the serious lack of materials, there are not too many high-level undead creatures in the hands of the Deya army, In this army of nearly 100,000 people, the bone dragons and ghost dragons that can compete with the angel clan on the frontal battlefield are only three or four hundred, but the emperor has more than three thousand archangels to fight, and the disparity in high-end combat power and the special fighting methods of the angel clan give the emperor a chance to win more with less.

And even if they can't be defeated, the emperor has been able to successfully complete the strategic goal they want to achieve in this battle, that is, to hold back the enemy's footsteps, disrupt the enemy's rhythm, so that the emperor's main force under the command of Mlak, who is rushing in this direction, can engage the enemy's army head-on and rely on local strength superiority to successfully break through.

This made Erzak admire Mrak greatly, when he was besieged before, Elzak himself was a little desperate, in the mobile encirclement of the army of the undead, the pretentious he really couldn't think of any chance for the emperor to turn defeat into victory, and he had even begun to plan whether to take his people to find a reason to break through first.

But Mlak suddenly had a plan, a plan that would allow the emperor to break out of the siege and escape from death, and this plan was quite feasible.

So Elzak decided to take a gamble, he came to this swamp to obtain military merits, to enter the imperial hierarchy, not to turn against the empire.

In the next few days, in the seemingly inexplicable operation of the emperor, Mrak has actually secretly separated a small group of elite men and horses to leave the emperor's main force and hide in the swamp, he used this method to infiltrate the encirclement of the undead army, the dim environment of the swamp, the perennial fog, the many terrain where they can hide, and the not-so-watertight encirclement of the undead army made Mrak's plan quite successful, and most of these small groups of the emperor army were not discovered by the undead creatures. Some of the undead creatures who were discovered were also regarded as enemies who had fallen behind, and did not cause alarm among the high-level of the Diya army, because the attention of the high-level of the Diya army was focused on the strange marching route of the emperor's main force at that time.

In this way, after Mrak used the emperor's main force to attract the enemy's encirclement and removed, these small groups of emperors broke away from the enemy's encirclement, and instead came to the enemy's back, and they secretly reassembled in a certain place according to the predetermined plan, with a total number of more than 20,000 people, and Elzak also left half of the angel legion to continue to act with the army to confuse the enemy, and personally took the other half of the angel legion's warriors to join the operation, They were the most important of the special forces in Project Mrak's that would bring the Imperial Expeditionary Force to life.

And now, Mrak's entire plan has been carried out to the final and most critical link, and the Imperial Expeditionary Force has been fully sure that the breakthrough will be successful, because even if the nearby undead army rushes to support Chama's army, or redistribute the forces and recast the encirclement, it is too late, and the disrupted Hart encirclement can no longer trap the emperor as before, and the cicada has successfully escaped from the mantis's mouth.

The prey flew away, which was a real tragedy for Hart, the praying mantis, but his tragedy did not end there, because he did not realize that behind him, a yellow finch was staring at him, and was about to start preying on him.
