Chapter Ninety-Seven: Attack on the Undead (Part I)
As the distance between Silvermoon City got closer and closer, the undead creatures that poured in around gradually transformed from messy and chaotic cannon fodder undead to the regular troops of the Scourge Legion under the protection of the Lich King.
Even though there weren't many humanoid undead in these regular troops, those who were made up of huge beast bones and corpses already possessed commendable power.
And death and death finally appeared in the formation of the Legion of Light, which had been charging smoothly before.
Grabbing a huge undead giant bear beside him as a shield, he resisted seven or eight holy light cannons, and half of his body was eroded by the holy light to emit black smoke, but he was still unharmed, and he ran forward quickly and threw a steam tank that was dozens of tons and trying to dodge from the ground.
"Brush!"
A life-like Death Knight with a dark green inhuman glow flashing at his pupils and shrouded in armor resembling a human being, holding a frost rune sword aloft, leaped out from behind the abomination on a skeleton horse.
With the blessing of the undead power, at the end of the Frost Rune Sword, a huge dark blue corrosive energy blade nearly five meters long was derived in a short period of time, and it was slashed out with a wave of his hand in the air.
"Boom!"
The front armor of the Steam Holy Cross Tank, which was forcibly thrown from the ground, collided with the huge energy blade and made a loud noise, falling to the ground, splattering countless smoke and dust.
The twisted corpses of the lookouts and gunners have been frozen in the cabin of the Twisted Steam Tank, which has been bombarded by the full force of the High Death Knights, and their heroic souls have returned to the Holy Kabbalah Heaven along the path of faith.
The followers of Divine Yahweh have no soul fire left in their bodies after death, and naturally cannot be revived and used by the Lich King's necromantic magic.
"Damn it!"
The dwarf commander, who had a huge wound on his forehead gushing with blood in the sturdiest and relatively well-framed driver's seat in the cabin, knew that he had fallen into a desperate situation, and let out a final roar of reluctance.
"O Holy Yahweh! May victory be to the Empire! ”
With his trembling right hand, he opened the red lid next to the keyhole in front of the driver's seat, then untied the badge of the Holy Cross from his chest and uttered the last prayer of his life.
Then, aiming at the mark in the red lid, he pressed it hard.
"Annihilation, damned undead!"
In an instant, inside the deformed, twisted and half-crippled steam tank, all the light on the medium-sized holy light crystal that was still still bright shrank towards the center, and then suddenly dazzled.
After the piercing explosion sounded, the brilliant Holy Light Crystal, the last full force overload, ignited the high-cylinder power furnace, and outside the shattered tank after the burst of the power furnace, it volatilized a more brilliant and holy light than the constant sun in the sky, drowning the abomination and death knights who were chasing after the dwarf commander's breath of life······
"Knock!" "Knock!"
Countless wooden shields held flat and patched together, and tall ape-man zombies walked in the forefront.
"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”
They responded to the roaring skeletal necromancer's undead horn spell behind them, and with fairly neat steps, they pushed across the mountains towards the Legion of Light.
"Launch, don't stop!"
Amid the roar of the low-ranking paladin officers, all the Legion of Light soldiers under the leather armor helmets of the Holy Cross kept firing the holy light rays in their hands.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a huge undead Crypt Lord burst out of the ground directly from the middle of the formation of the Light Legion on the ground, throwing behind a huge amount of smoke and dust.
These behemoths that used to live in the spider kingdom on the glacier continent, the undead energy on their carapaces clashed fiercely with the diffuse holy light energy in the army of the Legion of Light like fire meets rain.
Although these dead undead big bugs, under the strong holy light in the military array, they could not last for a few minutes before they would be purified into ashes.
But before they died, they still tried to forcibly open their hideous mouths, frantically trying to devour the human warriors besieging them.
"Be careful! Chris! ”
A spearman of the Legion of Light, who was raising the spear of light in his hand and concentrating on shooting at the beast undead who pounced on the outside world, was pushed to the left by his comrades and fell to the ground.
"Oh no!
Krees, who was suddenly pushed to the ground, looked at his comrades who had pushed him to the ground with grief and indignation, and was caught in the air by the right pincer of a Crypt Lord who rushed out of the ground.
"Senior Cress, Tactical Move No. 12!"
At this time, the voice of the captain of the holy warrior of the squadron in his ears sounded.
After a long period of training, Krees reflexively obeyed the commander's command, turned over and half-knelt on the ground, and raised his spear horizontally with both hands.
Then, he felt the spear raised in his arms sink suddenly, and he saw the Holy Warrior Squadron Leader's whole body boiling with a striking white-gold Judgment Flame, charging from a distance, and then using the spear in Krees's hand as a force point, he jumped up violently.
The brilliant holy light ignited from the blade of the holy knight, and a slash of holy light several meters long, with the swing of the captain of the holy knight, cut off the right hand of the crypt lord holding the soldier, and saved Krees's comrade at the last moment.
The tall and crimson banner of the Holy Cross, the undulating smoke, the roaring and mournful Crypt Lords, the worm limbs gushing with black rotting blood, the warriors of the Legion of Light who survived the catastrophe, and the PALADIN Commander who fell to the ground and gasped, all formed a vivid and passionate battlefield picture·······
The appearance of the Crypt Lord in terms of natural disasters has slightly disrupted the progress of some Legion of Light warriors.
However, the upper echelons of the Holy Araso Empire and the Holy Cross Church are not without countermeasures.
"Anubrekan, my friend!"
Beneath the ground of the Legion of Light's advance, there are countless long tunnels in the ground.
"We need your help now!"
The majestic voice of His Majesty the Holy Emperor Karen appeared in the head of the beetle general Anubrekan, who was digging and snuggling up to the Holy Yahweh.
"I will be happy to serve you, Your Majesty!"
This huge and matchless, the light of the Holy Cross flashing on the carapace illuminated the surrounding caves, the former Spider Kingdom General, who stopped the movements of his hands, responded solemnly in his mind.
In the next moment, Anubrekan's resolute spiritual instructions were given to each crypt beetle through the spider worm clan's unique swarm communication network.
"Remnants of the spiders, it's time to show our allegiance to the Most High God!"
"Onward! Destroy the tunnels dug by those undead compatriots! ”
"Protect our parishioners who are attacking on the ground!"
"Yes! Shogun! ”
All the crypt beetles who received the order silently drew a holy cross on their chests with their forelimbs, and responded in unison!

"No one, no living being!"
Silvermoon City's once luxurious and magnificent city walls are now only severed limbs and stumps.
"The power to resist the Scourge Legion!"
Hated by four high-ranking people with big shoulders and round waists, and guarding them in the center, Nao Zuna's figure wrapped in eternal ice crystals let out a dark and low voice.
Behind it, one after another, the Great Lich shrouded in black robes stood in a conspicuous six-pointed star patterned circle.
Extremely thick black-gray necromantic energy emerged from the surrounding void and poured into the conspicuous circle behind the Lich King.
The faint green light characteristic of the soul fire of the official rank ignited one after another from the very center of the circle.
Although the Lich King Naozu's plan to revive the High Elf hero-level high-end undead has been interrupted, these hundreds of thousands of officially ranked High Elf bones that were once left behind in Silvermoon City are still an extremely large force.
"For the Lich King!"
"The living are corrupted, but the dead are eternal!"
Under the collective efforts of the nearly three-digit hero-level great lichs, these High Elves who had resisted natural disasters roared the declaration of natural disasters, and in a very short period of time, they were resurrected into elite undead creatures that were not weaker than their previous strength.
"Let all the Abominations and Death Knights go with me!"
Standing at the top of the city wall, the Lich King Neozu gazed at the vast divine aura that was getting closer and closer, disgusting it, and calmly gave the order.
It understands that the undead cannon fodder and some so-called natural disasters of the regular army that are now attacking the Legion of Light with all their strength can still only cause some small troubles to the invading Legion of Light.
In the Legion of Light, the aura of a legendary-rank powerhouse that shines like a star in the sky has as many as three strands.
Although it was far from being its own opponent, its elite undead alone would not be enough to destroy the army led by such a formidable enemy.
"Follow your will, Great Majesty!"
The brightly armoured, life-like Death Knights, armed with runic swords, stepped onto their skeleton horses.
"Whew!" "Whew!"
The abomination of several people roared loudly and walked to the front of the elite undead battle array.
And the great lich who had resurrected hundreds of thousands of High Elves also came to the back of Nao Zu en masse, floating in a solemn column.
Below the Silver Moon City Strong, countless undead elites who were standing in a neat phalanx one after another, completely different from the cannon fodder of the Legion of Light who were now attacking, raised their weapons and let out a silent cry in the direction of the attacking Light······
