Chapter Forty-Seven: Eighth-Order Ghost Dragon
Finally, after more than an hour of silence and peace, the Necronomicon finally began to act.
It is worth mentioning that they were not placed at the front of the battle line, but an army of more than 4,000 naval soldiers, but only a quarter of the number of musketeers and melee soldiers in this 4,000-plus army.
All the others are manned to operate the artillery, you know, operating a cannon in this era is not a simple matter, it requires a special loader, reloader, etc., plus now in order to transport the artillery, it also needs a few additional naval fighters to push.
In addition to the manpower to transport gunpowder and cannon pellets, although there were 3,000 naval soldiers operating the artillery, the number of artillery pieces was only a few hundred.
It is worth mentioning that although there are only a few hundred people left on the pirate side, the number of artillery they can operate is only less than half that of the naval side.
Because they directly control the guns mounted on the battleship, only two pirates are needed to operate a gun.
After all, the previous ice forbidden spell - Frozen Thousand Miles, only killed and injured a large number of pirate warriors, but it did not cause much damage to warships and artillery.
As a result, the pirates have plenty of artillery at their disposal.
As for melee defense, it was all handed over to Yefeng and his army of summoned beasts, and on the pirate side, except for a few pirate kings with a dozen elite pirate warriors to join, the other pirates were all sent to operate the artillery.
After all, with the strength of the Pirate King, it would be too overkill to let them operate a few cannons.
In the case of Barbossa, with his melee strength, he was enough to easily kill dozens or hundreds of naval soldiers, because he was a master of poison, and if his sword was slightly scratched, it would almost be doomed to death.
Of course, this kind of toxicity is only for the story creatures, and for the contractor, it is only limited to the ranks of trouble.
Behind the more than 4,000 naval warriors are a large number of undead creatures summoned by the necromancers, such as rudimentary undead creatures such as skeletons, zombies, and ghosts, with a total number of nearly 500 heads!
You know, these are all beginner undead soldiers who have been upgraded, and one skeleton warrior is enough to easily defeat two skeleton soldiers!
And in addition to these massive primary-level undead creatures, even the high-level undead creatures that have reached the legendary level are as many as dozens of heads!
It is worth mentioning that unlike the upper limit of the initial undead summoning, the upper limit of the initial undead summoning is 10 of the user's spirit attribute, while the upper limit of the intermediate undead summoning is 30 of the user's spirit attribute.
As for the high-level undead summoning, its upper limit is to reach the point of an astonishing spiritual attribute of 100, after all, the high-level undead summoning bone dragon, even if it is only the most basic bone dragon, is a powerful summoned beast comparable to the seventh-order legendary creatures.
If such a summoned beast can summon several heads at once, then this undead summoning can really be called an invincible divine skill, after all, this undead creature summoned through the skill can be summoned repeatedly even if it is dead.
This is not like taming a summoned beast that has been recruited, no matter how powerful this summoned beast is, once it dies, it will completely disappear.
It is worth mentioning that among the necromancers of the Necromancer, there is such a powerful necromancer with high-level necromancer summoning skills, and I saw an undead creature similar to a bone dragon, also flying in a hovering and majestic sky above the enemy's position.
And what made Ye Feng couldn't help but feel secretly frightened was that the enemy's necromancer, his high-level undead summoning skills had also been raised to a fairly high level, because what he summoned was no longer a primary bone dragon, but an advanced bone dragon, a ghost dragon that had reached the eighth order of legendary creatures!
It is worth mentioning that for the dragon clan, they will never admit that the bone dragon is also a member of the dragon clan, but for the ghost dragon, although they are also disgusted in their hearts, they also admit that they belong to the dragon clan.
Because the bone dragon can only attack in physical form, it is like a beast, and it has neither dragon power nor dragon magic.
As an advanced body of the bone dragon - the ghost dragon, it is completely different, in addition to having the dragon power that the dragon clan has, it is also good at dark dragon magic, although the ghost dragon as an eighth-order legend does not master the dark magic of the forbidden spell level, but it can summon high-level dark magic by chanting dragon magic.
It's just worth mentioning that this powerful necromancer who has mastered the primary, intermediate, and even high-level undead summoning skills is not one of the top three kings in the Necromancer.
Because this necromancer is also a very strange contractor, among all his skills, except for undead summoning and basic skills, there will be no other skills.
Therefore, it can also be said that as long as he can kill all his undead creatures, then as an awakened person, his own combat power may not be as good as that of an ordinary first-order contractor.
And its addition method can also be said to be the limit of points, in order to increase the number of undead creatures that can be summoned to the greatest extent, after all, the number of undead summoned is also based on spiritual attributes, for him, every ten points of spiritual attributes can be increased, you can increase the number of skeleton zombies and ghosts, and every 30 points of spiritual attributes can be increased to increase a mid-level vampire death knight and corpse witch and other middle-level undead creatures.
Therefore, he also added most of the free attribute points to the spirit, and only a small part took into account the intelligence, after all, the casting of skills also requires enough MP value, and the combat effectiveness that the empty blue mage necromancer can exert is also conceivable.
And a contractor with a status like the Pharaoh and the Corpse King, in addition to having distinctive characteristics of their own, cannot have obvious shortcomings.
It is worth mentioning that the other one of the three kings of the Necronomicon is the ghost king known as the ghost hunter!
It's just that this time the Necronomicon also has another important mission, so it also sent the ghost king to carry out that task, and it is worth mentioning that the original person who carried out that task was actually Pharaoh's.
It's just that for the undead suit on Ye Feng's body, the Pharaoh also took a lot of effort and gave the ghost king a lot of benefits before exchanging the tasks performed by the two.
It is worth mentioning that although the undead soldiers summoned by the Necronomicon contractors were there to help the navy, the two sides were divided into two distinct camps, and the distance between the naval soldiers and the undead creatures was at least 20 meters apart.
However, this is also a very normal thing, after all, human beings are inherently afraid of undead creatures.
At the same time, when the army of the undead on the side of the Necronomicon was ready, the elemental army on Yefeng's side was also formed at this time, among the 120 elemental elves, this time his luck was quite good, and the scale of the high-level elemental elves was as high as 34!
You know, the first time he cast this Elemental Altar skill, there were only seventeen high-level elemental spirits summoned by the trigger chance.
Finally, after some statistics, the number of all elemental sprites is as follows:
Beginner Fire Spirit Yadeyan: 24 heads.
Beginner Ice Elf Ice Ness: 28 heads. Rainbow Literature Network
Beginner Earth Spirit Earth Rock Golem: 12 heads.
Beginner Dark Elf Cermytek: 7 heads.
Beginner Light Spirit Revos: 13 heads.
Advanced Fire Elf Flame Herek: 7 heads.
Advanced Ice Spirit Stasis Aquilis: 15 heads.
Advanced Earth Elf Stone Blade Lazer: 4 heads.
Advanced Light Elf Aurora Grayling: 7 heads.
Advanced Dark Elf Revenant Merkel: 1 head.
In addition, there are only two ends of the mutant element, but both of them belong to the same type, and both are quicksand elements.
Under the command of Ye Feng, melee elemental creatures and nearly 100 alien soldiers, plus dozens of skeleton warriors, also formed a formation and stood at the front of the position.
It is worth mentioning that in the face of the next battle, even with the strength of Ye Feng, there is no great certainty that he can defeat it, so he can't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, but fortunately, with his strength, he dare not say that he has the certainty of absolute victory over the enemy, but it is not a problem to ensure that they retreat safely.
Because in his hands, he still holds a powerful killer weapon!
It is worth mentioning that this killer weapon can be used, but it is really as he said before, and it is also due to the enemy's forbidden spell that has frozen thousands of miles.
At this time, I saw that under the impetus of a large number of naval soldiers, hundreds of artillery pieces weighing several tons also moved slowly by gliding on the ice.
Because the distance between the two sides is about a full nautical mile, such a distance is naturally a very short thing if it is measured by the speed of a battleship, but for the naval soldiers who are walking slowly, it takes nearly half an hour to complete this distance with several tons of guns.
It is worth mentioning that because the guns of the pirate side are on the deck of the battleship at a height of more than ten meters, it also increases its range in disguise.
Therefore, before the naval artillery could be pushed into its effective range, the pirate artillery fire was already roaring.
Cannon roaring!
I saw a bombardment of solid bullets one after another, and the formation composed of more than 4,000 naval fighters naturally had a dense degree needless to say.
With a terrible scream, I saw a large number of naval soldiers smashed into flesh on the spot by solid shells, and a few only hit their arms or thighs.
Fortunately, because of the troubles of gun reloading in this era, the naval soldiers managed to push their guns into range after only two rounds of artillery fire.
For this reason, the navy only paid the price of nearly 100 soldiers directly killed and hundreds of soldiers disabled.
For them, who have more than 4,000 naval soldiers, such casualties are not to the extent of breaking their muscles and bones.
At this time, I saw that the naval gunners also quickly placed the guns, and then the skilled gunners adjusted the direction of the guns according to the enemy's fire position.
However, at this moment, I saw that the caster composed of sixteen Stasis Aquilis (one of which was summoned by the Nightfeng's own summoning skill) also suddenly cast a spell and summoned, and then after a while, I saw that in the sky above the naval soldiers, sixteen blue magic arrays suddenly appeared!
"Woohoo!"
Then, in the next second, I saw a large number of sharp ice spikes suddenly fall from these sixteen blue magic arrays, accompanied by terrible screams, and I saw that these unsuspecting naval soldiers also suffered heavy casualties under this dense ice spikes like raindrops.
You must know that in this era, because of the relationship between artillery and arquebuses, most of the soldiers were not equipped with so-called iron armor and the like, in fact, these naval soldiers were only wearing a gorgeous but almost defenseless uniform.
Therefore, these sharp ice spikes fell from mid-air, and they also pierced the bodies of naval soldiers in an instant, and some unlucky people were pierced through their heads and other vital points, and they also died tragically on the spot.
This is none other than Stasis Aquilis's wide-area killing skill, Ice Crystal Fall!
Although this skill can only be used once in this battle, even this time, it has caused huge casualties to the naval soldiers, unlike hundreds of solid bullets that can only kill and injure nearly a hundred people, just a large number of ice spikes dropped by an ice crystal falling magic array have caused dozens of casualties.
And what appeared in the sky above the naval soldiers at this time was a full sixteen ice crystal falling magic arrays!
Therefore, this surprise attack alone also caused nearly 1,000 casualties on the naval side in an instant.
However, soon, under the retaliatory counterattack of the naval soldiers, these sixteen high-level ice elves were also bombarded into countless ice slags by a large number of solid cannonballs pouring down on the spot.
After all, whether it was the artillery bombardment of the pirate side just now or the ice crystal pendant skill of Stasis Aquilis, it only killed and injured a large number of naval soldiers, and for a multi-ton cannon made of pure iron, even if a solid bullet smashed into it, it would not be able to destroy it.
Of course, no matter how many artillery pieces there are, they need enough manpower to operate them.
But the good thing is that because these guns are now within range, there is no need for additional manpower to push these guns, and these freed manpower can replace those gunners who have already died to operate these guns.
Therefore, although the naval soldiers suffered a quarter of the casualties under the previous two successive attacks, the number of artillery pieces that could be operated was still as high as hundreds!
Therefore, even if Stasis Aquilis is a high-level elemental elf, his health value is quite high, but in the face of the bombardment of these hundreds of artillery, even if a Stasis Aquilis only suffers from nearly ten or so cannonballs because of the hit rate, its huge lethality is enough to easily kill them.
