Chapter 22. Territorial will
Among the messages delivered was a 'will of the territory'.
This 'territorial will' encompassed a thirty-kilometer radius of Gao Fei's feet, including the territory of the skeleton viscount who had been annexed by him before. And this will allows Gao Fei to clearly perceive any disturbance in his territory.
And all the undead born in this territory will consciously submit to him.
At the same time, Gao Fei also learned that there were countless large and small territorial wills in the entire undead dungeon, and the number of people was too large. The largest, at the end of the Blackwater River, is another mountain towering into the sky. Legend has it that it was the lair of the Frost Dragon. This 'will of the territory' is unimaginably large......"
At present, there is only one way to improve the 'Will of the Territory', which is to defeat other lords and seize their territory.
"This is very much in line with the characteristics of the undead dungeon!" Gao Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is the world where the strong survive.
This is a hell worse than the abyss.
Only the most powerful creatures can stand at the pinnacle of the undead plane.
Gao Fei still remembers the introduction of the undead copy in "Plane", and it seems that it is really not bad at all.
Shaking his head and clearing away his thoughts, Gao Fei set his sights on the skull graveyard of the town hall that had been mutated.
The building looked like an enlarged tombstone, with incomprehensible arcane characters engraved on it, gray 'colored' contracts wrapped around the tombstone like satellites, and from time to time one or two dark gray 'colored' ghosts flew out of the tombstone with a miserable cry.
"Damn, it's just pretty." Gao Fei pouted, he had hoped that this skull cemetery would have some special effects, such as the ability to release active defense magic, or something like that. It turned out to be just a decoration similar to the hall of a human city town.
So what's next?
Of course, continue to attack the territories of the other skeleton leaders.
What a spectacular scene it would be to be able to take the entire Plains of Bones as his sphere of influence, carrying countless armies of undead to attack the main plane!
However, as soon as this idea arose, Gao Fei, who had the 'will to the territory', sensed that something was wrong.
A Twenty-Rank 3 skeleton assassin infiltrated his territory.
According to the Code of the Dead, all the undead of other forces who step into their territory will exert some coercion on him as a lord...... If the 'Will of the Territory' is strong enough, it can even cause some weak undead to die on the spot.
The Frost Dragon's lair is the best proof of this.
Therefore, it is rare for the undead to dare to break into the territory of the 'will'. Gao Fei was about to send a few skeleton assassins to find out, when another skeleton broke in.
A......
Two......
Three-headed ......
And then more and more.
"All on alert, defend!" Gao Fei hurriedly shouted.
There is no need to investigate anymore, even if they are far away, Gao Fei can clearly see these 'invaders'.
An army of the undead.
There were an army of eight hundred undead, and these skeletons roared silently, like a monstrous beast, baring their teeth and claws rushing towards the newly built skeleton cemetery.
What's going on?
How could this group of undead take the initiative to attack themselves?
Gao Fei, who had been in the undead quest for a month, couldn't help but panic, although a single skeleton would trigger a battle when they met, but there had never been such a situation where a large number of undead gathered and attacked the same target.
For a moment, Gao Fei seemed to have returned to the previous picture of his attack on the undead dungeon.
But he quickly came to his senses.
"Oxtin, order the skeleton warriors to stand in the way. All the Skeleton Mages and Skeleton Assassins retreat, and all the Skeleton Assassins sneak up and prepare to assassinate the opposing leader! ”
"The skeleton mage retreats as he unleashes a slowdown on the opposing skeleton warrior."
"The skeleton archers retreat and meet at the same time!"
The undead army appeared so suddenly that the skeletons of Guffy's team were still in a group. Fortunately, the timely and correct order was issued, which avoided the first? Losses from the charge.
Defense, melee, ranged attack.
This is a decent formation, fighting for combat effectiveness, and the nearly half-fully armed skeleton team will definitely not be inferior to this army of the undead.
And although this army of the undead that suddenly appeared was violent, it did not have the slightest formation to speak of. In the charging team, there were even quite a few crispy skeleton mages and skeleton archers rushing to the front. The bloated line made many of the skeleton warriors squeezed into the back row, unable to move forward.
'Whoosh ......'
A row of voices broke through. Hundreds of bone arrows pierced the sky, and white pressure slashed through an arc in the sky and rushed into the opponent's formation.
At this time, the skull mage's deceleration was long overdue.
The skeleton warrior who rushed to the front was suddenly shrouded in a cloud of yellow 'color' light, as if stepping into a mire, and his movements slowed down abruptly. The skeleton mages and archers who charged with them rushed out because of the slowdown of their companions.
That's what Guffy wants.
Although the real-time strategy game Warcraft has been eliminated for decades in the era of "Plane" popularity, Gao Fei still understands the importance of formation, and always keeps this in mind: compared to melee 'hand-to-hand' combat, no class will be the opponent of a warrior or assassin. Archers and mages with little blood and low defense are dead end once they are close to each other. And when the two are far enough apart, then it will become the world of ranged attack units.
That's exactly what Guffy is doing.
Use the slowdown to destroy the opponent's already chaotic formation, and then take the opportunity to hit the opponent's ranged units, leaving your skeleton mages and archers enough time to attack.
More than 30 skeleton mages and archers who rushed out of the formation were 'shot' through each other, and they all flew backwards backwards, and before they could get up, they were trampled to pieces by the skeleton army that came after. However, the opponent advanced more than ten meters in this round of attacks.
"Oxtin, release the land of hunger."
"The rest of the skeleton mages release the bones and bind."
"Skeleton archers continue to attack!"
After destroying dozens of other skeletons, the army of the undead has already been killed.
Although the leader of the army of the undead also has the title of viscount, the strength of the people is much higher than that of Gao Fei's army, Gao Fei's army is only eighteen on average, while the other party is more than twenty-two on average, and there is also more than two hundred suppression.
Guffy's army also had the advantage of two hundred heavily armed skeletons, which were neatly formed compared to the 'chaotic' charge.
It's just that whether this meager advantage can affect the balance of victory in this battle is unknown to Gao Fei, or the Death Knight, or the Pope of the Dark Court. But the only thing they can do at the moment is to resist!
"Skeleton Warrior, Charge!"
The two Bone Legions were completely entangled.
However, the only good thing is that all of Guffy's ranged units are protected at the rear of the formation.
The disparity in rank and numbers caused Guffy's army to retreat, but it was only after paying the price of nearly half of the skeleton warriors that the defense line was finally secured. And the role of remote units being protected is gradually beginning to be felt.
Without the enemy's 'commotion', the Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Mage attacked quite easily, directly attacking the opponent's large army.
If there are no surprises, this battle can be ended quickly.
It's just that the battlefield is always changing.
Almost instantly, the Three-Headed Skeleton Assassin lost contact with Gao Fei. Looking towards the breaking point of the connection, Gao Fei saw the giant axe skeleton, the owner of this army of the undead. The level thirty-five giant axe skeleton even has an attack power that is not inferior to that of the Death Knight, which naturally stems from the weapon in the opponent's hand.
Although this long-handled battle axe has a slow attack speed, it is characterized by a large killing range and fierce power. Every time the Axe Skeleton picks up its weapon, it cuts off a row of undead in front of it. In front of him, there was almost no place to meet, and even the Death Knight was beaten back again and again.
Gao Fei understands that in this case, he must not let the giant axe skeleton rush over, otherwise his already shaky defense line will be torn like window paper, and the victory will be reversed at that time.
"Oxtin, bone-bound feet, bone spears, aim at the leader of the other party." Gao Fei shouted.
Several palm-like bones rose from the plain of bones with a thud, grabbing straight at the feet of the giant axe skeleton. Don't look at the huge size of this giant axe skeleton, but its speed is not slow at all. Just as the white bone bound foot was about to reach his feet, he hurriedly picked it open, and the giant axe in his hand slashed a semicircle in front of him.
Several white bones flew out diagonally.
As for the bone spear that came later, it was also easily blocked by the other party with an axe.
"All skeleton archers aim, 'shoot'!"
The skeleton archers immediately turned around and aimed at the giant axe skeleton, only to hear a 'clanging' sound like the sound of gold and stone, and the giant axe skeleton danced in front of them for a while, and actually cut off most of the bone arrows that were 'shot'. Although there were still many people who had submerged into the body of the giant axe skeleton, they did not directly attack the soul fire, and the damage caused was not too high.
After being attacked, the giant axe skeleton seemed to 'figure' out who was the supreme commander of this undead army, and immediately turned its gun and rushed towards Gao Fei.
A level 35 giant axe skeleton.
And Gao Fei was only level eighteen, and even if he was fully armed, he would not be able to withstand such a terrifying attack from the giant axe skeleton.
The Death Knight immediately tightened his reins and drove the bone horse under his crotch to rush immediately.
Charge!
Swept!
The Death Knight charged at full speed and crashed into the oncoming Greataxe, and although it was four levels higher, the Death Knight still suffered from the blow. The white bone war horse under his crotch neighed and fell to his knees. And the death knight Ronigus on his back flew forward and fell headlong into the bones.
Of course, the giant axe skeleton also suffered a lot of losses.
The skeleton all over his body was already covered with mottled cracks, but this did not slow down the other party, and he still rushed towards Gao Fei unabated
