Chapter 31: The Real Battle

() It's safe to assume that Owen and his 'Five Heavenly Kings' must be hiding here, Joyka said

Are these skeleton soldiers all residents of the town too cruel Ray was very indignant

Unlikely, as far as I know, the original population of the town was only 200, and many people fled later, and there were at least 2,000 skeletons here, Julian said

As they spoke, one of the skeleton soldiers at the front of the group spotted a living person, brandishing their weapons and rattling and rattling

Rolling off Joika, drawing his Mithril alloy longsword, slashing the skeleton into two pieces at the waist, the skeleton soldier who was slashed by the waist dragged him half-off and crawled towards Joika's hooves, and the horse was frightened and almost threw Joika off

At this time, the skeleton soldiers in front of the town, after losing their first companion, found the living people, and turned their heads in unison to swarm towards Julian

The companions chose to fight on foot, except for the two horses that were left behind, the other horses were sent away, because of the light weight, the skeleton soldiers ran extremely fast, and at once surrounded Julian and several of them, and the companions were like a small island in the vast ocean

Julian, Ray, and Joyka formed a triangle around the carriage, and they used their weapons to engage in fierce battles with the rushing skeletons, and Cassius and Sophia stood on the carriage and cast a stream of frozen and holy light energy, and the skeletons were swept by the magical power and fell one after another, but more skeletons rushed up on the fragmentary skeletons of their companions

Sophia, why don't you use that 'Holy Impact', Joika shouted to Sophia behind her while struggling to resist the frantic attack of the skeletons

Sophia didn't answer, she silently cast the holy light, swept down the skeletons in circles and circles, how could she not know the power of the Holy Impact, but with her current light magic cultivation Holy Impact, this kind of high-level magic can be cast at most once in 24 hours, and now the number of the Sea of Skulls is several times more than the zombies encountered in the forest at that time, and the power of a holy impact is far from enough to completely eliminate all the skeletons, she has to save such an important tactical magic for the most critical time

Although skeleton soldiers are fragile, they have a great advantage in speed and agility, and some kind of Cheng dù said that skeleton soldiers are more terrifying undead creatures than zombies, and the fierce battle lasted only a few minutes, and the companions felt like a few years, at this time, their clothes were already soaked with sweat, knights, swords, The crimson spear and the Mithril alloy longsword slashed through the skeletons that surrounded one after another, and the ice and holy light swept away row after row of skeletons, but the skeleton soldiers pounced forward, and the number of follow-ups did not seem to have decreased in the slightest, and if this continued, their bodies and mana would be consumed sooner or later

With the 'Holy Impact', Sophia reluctantly lowered the silver cross to her chest and began to chant the spell of tactical magic in a prayerful gesture

At this moment, a rain of arrows was neatly shot in the distance, and dozens of crossbow arrows fell into the sea of skeletons, drowning inside

Who is so idiot, doesn't he know that arrows don't work against skeletons, Julian was stunned for a moment, and then he looked around to see who had launched this round of arrow attacks

However, before Julian could find the second round of arrow attacks, this time the arrows were ignited, most of the rockets landed in the place of the first round of arrow attacks, and then exploded into a sea of fire, the center of the first round of crossbow arrows was hollowed out, and the grease was stuffed inside, and the second round of attacks were rockets that could ignite the grease, and used to ignite the grease spilled by the first round of arrows - this is a good method, Julian thought

Only to see the smoke and dust billowing from where they came, and the sound of horses' hooves came quickly, a cavalry of nearly two hundred people quickly rushed into the sea of skeletons, these soldiers wielded battle axes, long knives and other sleak weapons, and a large number of skeletons were cut down on their way

It was Davis Cassius who first spotted the knight who rushed to the front and brandished a fighting spear to turn skeletons into bones

Why did you come to Julian and ask Davis, who finally rushed to his side

I thought about it, and the villagers' affairs could be relieved, but you urgently need my help now, and Davis picked up a skeleton soldier who flew towards him with a spear, and said to Julian beside him, you should save your body for the most important battle, not waste it here, and besides, you still have a sick person, do you have to waste a fighting power to take care of the patient

Okay, then I'll hand over our backs and the patients to you, and Julian accepted the aid because Davis brought exactly what his buddies needed most

Finally, Sophia finished reciting the incantation of the Holy Impact, and the white waves of light quickly spread to all sides, and hundreds of skeletons were wiped out in the shock wave of the Holy Light, and the vast sea of skeletons seemed to have been dug up, and at least 400-500 skeletons were destroyed in the blow just now

Hurry up, Julian shouted to his companions, and then he rushed to the front, and the four companions followed closely behind, due to the power of the divine impact, the road into the town was cleared, only a few dozen skeletons stood in the way, Julian opened the way in front, Ray and Joyka guarded on the left and right, and Sophia drew two short swords to protect their backs, and the four of them sandwiched Cassius in the middle and fought together into the deserted town

Julian, you owe me two favors in one day, you have to remember Davis's voice sounded behind him, and at this time, he and more than two hundred of his men were guarding the carriage, and more than a thousand skeletons came from all sides, and Davis raised his fighting spear in the air: The time has come for the soldiers to show us our true courage

Hey, his men let out a cry like a tidal wave, and at this moment a faint halo of light flowed through Davis, shining on every soldier - the art of command he had learned was finally working

Go ahead in peace, even if my men and I fight to the last man, we will never let a skeleton touch the ice coffin on the wagon—this is my first true promise since I became a knight

Outside an abandoned church in the middle of town

The Bloody Gardener Shanke said worriedly: Have you seen that someone has launched a 'Holy Impact' on the outskirts of the town

The long whip smacked the corpse cleaner on the ground Greston's face full of anger: Is it just a waste of the skeleton soldiers we have worked so hard to collect from the Brilliant Continent and the Star River Continent?

Don't be too nervous, just one or two 'Holy Shocks' are not enough to completely crush our army of skeletons deployed outside the town, and it is the Death Messenger Banshee Latik who speaks of the 2,254 skeletons that should be able to delay long enough for the master to regain his strength

The five of them all looked at the young man Owen sitting cross-legged on the throne of bones in the church, and he had not put on the mask since he had been knocked off, and at this time he was closing his eyes, and his young and handsome face was showing serenity, white, red, purple, blue, and green, five hedrons of different colors swirled around him, producing a small but very powerful elemental storm, and the long silver-white hair flowed around in the elemental storm, and at this time, a finger of Buyos's right hand moved

Vladimir, the Soul Bringer, said excitedly: Look at the master's hand, since he was sealed with power, the master's body has been completely unable to move, and can only maintain that posture for a long time, and now he can move, which means that the seal on the master's body has begun to break a little

That's right, now is the most critical stage for the master to break the seal, and we can't let him be disturbed, and the curse master who is good at curse dark magic, Raqilu, said, I think we should go and see, if someone really breaks through the skeleton defense line and rushes into the town, they should be intercepted in time

The last skeleton to stand in the way fell to Julian's sword, and they managed to break through the first line of defense that had been deployed outside the town: the Sea of Skulls reached the entrance to the town, and to enter the town, a bridge had to be crossed, but the bridge had long since collapsed, and beneath the silty riverbed, the damage caused by the mudslide was still shocking, even though it had been more than a year

How do we get here to the other side of the bank, which is at least ten meters wide, and Joyka is in trouble

Leave it to me, Cassius walked to the edge of the broken bridge, he closed his eyes, raised his magic staff, and held up the great spirit of water, listen to me...... With the chanting of the incantation, a pale blue light appeared at the tip of the magic staff, and soon a transparent cloud of ice appeared at the broken bridge, and the ice became thicker and longer, extending towards the opposite side

It's amazing to see Cassius create an ice bridge out of thin air, Joicka let out an amazement, in fact, Cassius created this ice bridge on the very simple principle, he just cast the magic that summoned the ice wall horizontally

I'm going to stay here and maintain the ice bridge, you guys go over first, Cassius said to his companions, they nodded to him, and walked across the ice bridges one by one

Sophia, who was the last to walk across the ice bridge, turned her head and said to the fat mage: Cassius, come over quickly, and suddenly her face changed greatly: Cassius was careful, and her companions behind her looked in the direction she was pointing, only a few black dots appeared in the air behind Cassius, and rushed towards Cassius at a very fast speed

Someone reacted faster, Joey Camal drew a few arrows and swished in quick succession, all six scavenging vultures that pounced on Cassius from behind were shot down, and none of them missed

It was Brother Gliston, hurry up, and Ray called out to his brother nervously, because he knew that his brother had suffered at the hands of this necromancer who manipulated carrivorous animals before he met him

None of you can run, all become members of my ghoul legion, sure enough, it was Griston, his obnoxious voice came from behind Cassius, and Griston appeared at the entrance of the path when they entered, surrounded by thirty or forty ghouls

However, Cassius had no intention of walking across the ice bridge, and he lightly touched the ice bridge with his magic staff, which immediately melted into ice and fell down in a dazzling manner

Brother, you ...... Ray was shocked by Cassius's actions

Ha, I can't imagine that you actually cut off your way out, so stupid that Griston saw Cassius actually self-destruct the ice bridge and smiled proudly

Cassius turned to Griston: If I don't destroy the ice bridge, you can attack my companion from behind

What do you want to single-handedly take on Griston and his army of ghouls, and Sophia is also shocked by his risky behavior

Brother, I don't want you to fight alone, let's go up together, Lei rushed to the side of the broken bridge, and shouted to his brother with his back to him

Dead fat, you want to do it, the hero asked me, Joika didn't finish speaking, an arrow shot across the bank, and stabbed hard into the head of a ghoul, and the ghoul struggled on the ground a few times and got up again, but the damned Joika got on another arrow

Julian stopped him with his hand on his longbow: Save your arrows, we should trust Cassius to have more important battles ahead of us

Joyka shook off his hand and shouted to Julian in displeasure, "Do you want the fat man to fight over there alone?"

Cassius, Ray, Sophia, you all listen to Julian, move on, Cassius said with a calm expression, the real battle between us and the necromancer has finally begun, and I will fight this battle

Really, you must live to say this, and Joyka and Julian turned and ran forward

Cassius, you have to be careful, seeing that the mage has made up his mind, Sophia also turns to catch up with Joyka and Julian

In the end, only Ray was standing on the other side, and he looked at his brother quietly without saying a word, and suddenly Ray turned around and ran forward without looking back

It was really self-conscious, and Griston looked at Cassius arrogantly, as if he saw a fly with carrion, and last time you were lucky not to become feed for the fly, and now there is no one to save you, and with one stroke, a large swarm of black-pressed flies appeared beside him

Cassius also raised his magic wand, and the water elemental continued to gather at the top, Cassius grinned as he still smiled so innocently: Come on, I also want to confirm the results of my training in the Arctic Ice Sheet for so many years.
