Chapter 63: Siege Strategy II
"Penny? Are we too many enemies? ”
Shen Yan shrank behind a broken wall and asked in a low voice, this is completely different from the plan.
Shen Yan's plan is like this - he first sneaked in handsomely (think about the picture, ten thousand monsters have passed through the bushes, and the leaves do not stick to his body), and after a detailed investigation of the ruins, he determined the detailed range of activities of the undead. Then with him in the lead, with Penny in assisting, a perfect plan is worked out. If there are too many undead, of course, you have to use the "Big Four Summoning". If there are not many undead, he chooses to infiltrate the weak point, or divide and outflank, or attack the weak point, or violently break in, and the goal is to complete the single brush work on the ruins alone!
There are two goals for this dungeon: 1. Gain a lot of divine power; 2. By the way, discover the treasure left by the lady.
Finally, there is a small goal, which is to go back to Green Horn and make another wave of understatement - let them know that they have warmed a glass of wine and go out, and clean up the ruins - wouldn't it be nice to do so?
However, the reality was a little different from what he thought - he had just climbed the hill and came to the site of a scattered building ruins, a place where he could just look at the main body of the ruins, and was almost dumplings by a large number of undead creatures that suddenly poured out!
That's a lot — hundreds! Fortunately, Shen Yan saw the opportunity quickly (in fact, people didn't expect the heir to be so vegetable, those undead creatures were used to tempt and send him to death, and he didn't want to outflank him left and right), and he ran all the way with a rolling and crawling, and a fast horse! Only then did they break out of the encirclement before closing the encirclement.
At this time, both sides were confused.
"Penny, come and help, help! This is when you have to help! Shen Yan smiled and called for reinforcements.
He can't help it, there are too many undead, and at a glance, the red and spicy area is full of enemies, and they are being copied from all directions! These undead creatures were mass-created by twisting the rules when they fell around the city. Their predecessors were residents of the city, and now their level has dropped by more than half compared to when they were alive, and their intelligence has also lost most of their intelligence, and the average level is only about 4 or 5 - but Shen Yan is a poor level 2 warlock.
"Okay, but you pay for the divine power consumed." Penny agreed.
"Agreed."
So when Shen Yan opened his bow and arrow with confidence, a virtual crosshair sight appeared in his vision, and swung as the bow and arrow in his hand moved - the cross crosshair represents the prediction of the location of the arrow's landing point, and the red circle in the middle is the prediction of the landing error, and the red area on the target is the fatal part of the prediction - hehe, what is the infrared sight? The carry-on mom calculates the scope is the real horror!
"Whoosh!"
A cold light flew out from behind the ruins wall, piercing through the mouth of one of the skeletons and continuing to cut its crooked neck bones backwards! The sharp tip of the arrow unleashes kinetic energy, severing a piece of the neck bone and pushing it out of the spine. After losing the connection to the body, the lower half of the undead skeleton's body collapsed into a pile of bones. And the head fell on the pile of bones, although the undead light in the skull was still flickering, but it could no longer command the body.
Normal skeleton soldiers around level 5, if they are placed in a dungeon with a narrow space, Shen Yan who can fight with one or two should not want it. But in the open outdoor environment, their weaknesses such as slow speed, low intelligence, and brittle joints were all exposed, and they were almost powerless to resist under Shen Yan's kite tactics.
An elf jumps higher than a monkey, runs faster than a horse, and has better physical strength than a bear! What can you do with him?
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~" Long arrows flew one after another, harvesting skeletons who didn't know how to hide at all.
The more than 30 undead who were huddled together were shot in less than ten minutes!
The flying arrows were almost terrifying for the unresponsive skeletons. The target who was hit was either cut off the spine or pierced the skull closest to the soul fire, causing an instant "shock". Although these skeletons are not dead, they are also incapacitated. When there were only a few undead creatures left in the mess, Shen Yan suddenly jumped in from behind one side of the wall, waved the stick in his hand, and smashed it on the knee of a skeleton soldier!
Under the heavy blow, its thigh bones and kneecaps flew exaggeratedly, and the skeleton soldier tilted uncontrollably to the side, and then was smashed into the neck by a stick, and its head flew out immediately behind the thigh bone. "Bang!" There was a muffled sound behind Shen Yan! The other skeleton soldier finally found an opportunity to attack, and slashed the iron sword in his hand towards Shen Yan, but was blocked by the "Dancing Sky Shield" prepared in advance.
At this time, another benefit of the air shield is revealed. The shield is not hand-held, and although the shield sinks sharply after being hit hard, the force is not transmitted to the magician. Shen Yan could have hid behind the shield, swung the wooden stick fiercely, and two lower leg bones were smashed away.
"Whew!" Seeing more than thirty skeleton soldiers lying on the ground, Shen Yan suddenly felt a sense of pride! He felt that the skeleton soldiers were marked as level 4 or 5, but the flaws were too big. Speaking of which, as long as ordinary people are not afraid, they can completely deal with creatures like skeleton soldiers. It's just that when humans face such terrible monsters, they often have cold hands and feet and stiff movements—not so much killed by monsters as they are defeated by their own fears.
"Shen Yan, speed up, the monsters are coming." Penny urged.
"Good!" Shen Yan half-squatted, half-closed his eyes and pressed his hand on a skull, a dark red light shining through the gaps in his palms. The skull he held down seemed to feel fear, and its long mouth let out a silent roar. But after a moment, the light in its skull dimmed, and along with its body it turned into pale ashes......
Skeleton-type cannon fodder is actually very easy to use, but it is not easy to completely destroy them. Because it is not the bones that keep the undead alive, but the souls and negative energy attached to them (like a demigod or something, the body only needs a skull or even a hand bone). Destroying the bones will only make them immobile, but you want to destroy them completely...... At present, the most effective way is to neutralize it with the positive energy of the pastor. However, the "Ember Burning Technique" can directly plunder the energy of undead creatures in a domineering way of absorbing stars!
After all, in a sense, undead creatures are also corpses, which fully satisfies the release premise of "Ember Incineration". Of course, it's not that easy for high-level undead like lichs and mummies, but Shen Yan can suck skeleton soldiers. A few minutes later, when the nearby skeletons rushed in this direction, the area behind the wall was already covered with a layer of ash. Whether it was the scattered arrows, the iron weapons used by the skeleton soldiers, and the few broken shields they carried, they were all taken away by Shen Yan.
Shields can be used to use "Dancing Shields" to save the day, iron weapons can be used to make arrows, and there are forests everywhere around the arrows.
It is better to feed the war with war.
Shen Yan can now say that his elves, his warlocks, we are physical strength. Fighting a fight-and-run tactic on this empty hill, he didn't think he would lose.

"Where are our 'men'?"
Seven or eight high-level undead searched for it, but only found about two hundred skeletons in the ruins, and Augustine was also confused about this.
The hierarchical domination of undead creatures is natural, especially those skeleton soldiers with insufficient intelligence, who are inherently ruled by high-level undead. The ring city is a rather deformed and prosperous city, and it is roughly estimated that at least tens of thousands of people once lived on such a large piece of urban fragments! Even if only a third of them are converted into undead, there are thousands of them.
In other words, Augustine and these people have at least thousands of potential subordinates, and there may be special breeds of undead among them. Wake these people up, and even if the true heir of the lady comes, they will have to drink a pot.
But where have all the people gone?
Apparently they didn't know that the ruins had been cleaned up a few years ago, and that time it was an entire legion! The guerrilla legions at that time were misled by legends - in legends, there are monsters in the ruins = there are treasures in the ruins! The stronger the monster, the better the treasure! So when they found out that there were thousands of skeleton soldiers living in this ruin, they were overjoyed!
Until they cleaned up the ruins "clean...... Thousands of old men jumped to their feet and scolded all day!
“…… Forget it, since it's not the lady's heir, let's think about what to do next. One of the skeletons said, "Augustine, do you have a way to complete our rituals and transform us into true undead?" "The seven or eight high-ranking undead in this bar were all people who wandered around the legend back then. Although their strength has fallen sharply now because they are not completely transformed, their eyesight is still there.
Shen Yan's strength was seen through by them at a glance - to say that the heir of the lady is like this...... They are the first in the world not to believe!
"Isn't it?" Augustine also hesitated.
He could sense the aura of the Lady of the City in advance, of course, not because of such a disgusting thing as blood resonance. His solution came from a constant spell provided by the "Gods Not Gods" called the "Lady Prevention System". This constant physical magic will powerfully awaken the host when the lady appears in a 10km circle; If the host does not wake up, it will be reawakened by means including but not limited to fireballs, explosions, electric shocks, acids, freezing, etc.; If it hasn't woken up yet, it means that the host is in a state of "inautonomy", and the next step will be to activate Legendary Camouflage, Legendary Stealth, and Random Otherworldly Teleportation......
It is said that this method was invented by a legendary great magician who managed to escape from the lady's side, and since the lady never concealed her aura, the first step of this magic system was quite successful - the lady suddenly appeared somewhere, often driving the legendary mages to jump around, and maybe one of them accidentally crossed directly.
"It really doesn't seem like so, then I'll look into it......" Augustine breathed a sigh of relief, ready to turn the conversation to how to complete the undead transformation ritual. If he succeeds in transforming into a lich, he will not only be able to return to the legend, but even go further.
"No, that's the lady's heir." The portrait with two horns on the wall says, "And the true heir!" ”
"Do you hear that? The fragments of the ring are singing. ”
