Chapter 148: Decisive Battle at the Top of Utgard: Death Battle
"I'm sorry, my master, as a soul body, I can't provide any substantial help. ”
"You've done a good job, Kel'thugad. ”
Xue Huan raised his hand slightly, dark energy swayed in his hand, and a fresh Veku corpse staggered to his feet, this was already the twenty-first corpse he had resurrected, but he needed more in order to attack the top of Utgard.
Xue Huan chuckled noncommittally at Kel'thugad's guilt, "You don't have to feel guilty about this, my most loyal retinue, you guided me in the direction when I was most confused, and that's enough." ”
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness, and I will always be by your side. Kel'thugad floated beside Xue Huan and said faintly, his tone full of awe.
"That's not what you're going to say right now. ”
Xue Huan chuckled lightly and looked back at the army of undead following him, "Should you think about where we are?"
The long corridor was dark, and there seemed to be no end in sight, with the sound of water dripping into the cracks in the stone from time to time, but Kel'thugad's eyes, in the dark space, emitted an eerie light.
"After going up this staircase, we should be at the Hawkeye Terrace. ”
Kel'thugad's tone seemed to be a little anxious: "But master, with our little army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with the cunning Skadi, who is a seventh-level dragon knight, more difficult to deal with than the previous Ingval, and the elite dragon raiders under his command are far more powerful than our warriors." ”
"Rest assured, Kel'thugad. ”
Xue Huan walked at the front of the entire team with his head held high, and there was a faint confidence in his tone, "Just leave that guy to the gargoyle to deal with, what we have to do is to lure out those Viku people stationed in the castle according to the plan." ”
"And if anything goes wrong with the plan, don't I still have evil spells?"
He didn't believe that even if that guy was a seventh-level dragon knight, how much higher would his strength be than the previous Ingval?
Moreover, the gargoyles hovering above the high platform have not left, and these bloodthirsty undead creatures will become the best weapon to destroy Skadi.
Thinking about it, the ancient dark corridor also came to an end, and Xue Huan's vision gradually broadened.
The sudden intensity of the light almost stimulated him to open his eyes, and when his eyes gradually adjusted to the bright light, what appeared in front of him was a dense group of Viku fighters.
They were well-trained, neatly arranged on the open-air platform, wearing uniform heavy armor, and the huge dragon horn steel helmet covered the entire head of these Viku soldiers, revealing only a pair of eyes, staring fiercely at Xue Huan and the others.
The vigilant Xue Huan found that above the heads of these Viku soldiers, there was a huge Ancestral Dragon, which was different from the Ancestral Dragons that Xue Huan had seen before, this dragon was even larger, and the dragon's body was actually a dark light blue, and its mouth spewed blue flames from time to time.
And the blue-armored Viku man riding behind it should be the Skadi that Kel'thugad is talking about.
"I heard you defeated Skavard and Ingvar?"
Skadi held the reins in his hand, riding on the back of the huge blue progenitor, and his rough voice passed through the air and reached everyone's ears, "There are not many people who can get here, you are a group, and this is a full proof of your strength, but this is the sacred territory of the Viku people, and it is impossible for any invader to return alive, and you are no different." ”
"As you can imagine, we didn't plan to go back alive!"
Xue Huan sneered and shouted, "Before you say these ridiculous words, it seems that you have forgotten something, we are the dead, and the world of the living is not the slightest temptation for us." ”
He never disdained to rub his tongue with the enemy, but he couldn't help but be sarcastic.
"Very frivolous little one, if only you could still laugh and talk to me when my weapon shattered your skull. ”
No one had ever dared to provoke Skady like this, and as always, he would use the blood of his enemies to make them remember for a long time.
Scardy raised his mace and motioned for his elite troops to prepare to attack, "Charge, soldiers, pick up your guys and kill these disgusting bugs." ”
The Viku, who had been instructed to do so, began to grow frantic, hating the men who had killed so many of their countrymen and risen to become slaves of death, with a monstrous hatred in their eyes.
The next moment, these ready-to-go Viku people roared forward, and the roars of hundreds of warriors were deafening and resounded through the sky.
Facing the fierce enemy, Xue Huan showed unprecedented composure, he pulled out the Frost Sorrow, and pointed the sharp tip of his sword straight ahead.
"Dakuru, lead the remaining Dakale trolls under your command, and give me a dead top, remember, without my orders, even if you fight to the last soldier, you can't take half a step back!"
"Yes!"
After several bloody battles, even if he was as strong as Dakuru, he was already covered in bruises, but this ally still unswervingly carried out Xue Huan's orders.
Then, Xue Huan's gaze was on the other side, there were nearly sixty or seventy Viku people who had been resurrected by him as Scourge warriors, it was not too difficult to manipulate their behavior, Xue Huan only moved his mind, and these self-conscious corpses rushed towards the enemy.
Boom!!
The two armies fought fiercely in the semi-center of the castle of Utgard.
Coupled with the undead troops under Xue Huan's hands, there were nearly 1,000 warriors on both sides crowded on the narrow open-air platform, and the Viku warriors basically used melee weapons, so most of the Viku warriors were squeezed in the rear and could not approach the enemy at all.
This is a considerable disadvantage for the Viku, who are all elite soldiers, but for the slightly less powerful Scourge troops, it is a huge advantage.
Xue Huan skillfully took advantage of this, he formed the first line of defense between the troll warriors under Dakuru and the Scourge Viku who were resurrected by him, and stuck the line to death, so that those who were blocked behind the battle line could only stare dryly.
In this way, he forcibly pulled the combat power of both sides to the average line, after all, the attacking force composed of troll warriors and Scourge Viku people is not false in terms of hard power, and those elite Viku soldiers can even exchange one for one.
Xue Huan mentioned the sorrow of frost and also rushed into the enemy formation, although he was not a warrior who was good at martial arts, but with the help of powerful evil weapons, this magic sword had reached the level of perfect fit in his hands.
The runes on the sword body shone with brilliance, and the frost sorrow that exuded a cold and vicious aura at this moment was like a scythe harvesting life in Xue Huan's hands, even those Viku warriors who were covered in thick armor could not stop the sword blade of frost sorrow.
A battle-hardened Dakale troll warrior, Dakuru demonstrated his fighting talent by building an impregnable line of defense against the Viku's charges.
The roars and shouts of both sides were incessant, mixed with the crashing of steel.
Although these Dakale trolls played a huge role under the leadership of Dakuru, as the battle progressed layer by layer, the disadvantages of the Scourge Legion also appeared, and every time a Veku warrior was killed, more enemies would come in later, but the reserve force of the Scourge Legion was those weak ghouls and zombies, and the Scourge Legion, which lacked fresh blood to replenish, had to rely on the first echelon to forcibly hold it.
"Dakuru!?"
After severing the legs of one of the Viku warriors, Xue Huan wiped a handful of blood from his face, and he looked around, trying to find Dakuru's figure in the chaos of battle.
But in addition to enemies on all sides, they are still enemies, or the Dakale trolls who are fighting the enemy with difficulty, where can they find the shadow of Dakuru.
Under the fierce onslaught of the Vikus, the Scourge began to suffer casualties, and although the Dakale trolls were experienced in combat, they could not withstand the enemy's outnumber, and it was very difficult for one Dakale troll to deal with two or three Viku warriors at the same time.
On the other side, Xue Huan, who is not good at martial arts, also showed a decline.
After Kankan killed a Viku warrior, a silver arc suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and he was shocked, and subconsciously blocked it with his horizontal sword.
Clang!
The two weapons were staggered, and Xue Huan, who was holding the magic sword, actually took a few steps back, his pale face distorted together, he was a little dizzy by the terrible impact force, and the frost sorrow also "clanged" and fell to the ground.
"Be careful!!"
Kel's warning suddenly sounded in Xue Huan's heart.
Only then did he realize that in the second he was stunned, he had been stared at by a Viku warrior, and after a long fight, he could not muster the slightest strength in his body, and could only watch as the huge sharp axe slashed down at his body.
Boom!
There was another sound of weapons clashing, and the expected picture did not appear, and a majestic black shadow stood in front of him.
"Dakuru!?"
The frightened Xue Huan shouted out the name almost hoarsely, taking advantage of the stalemate between the two sides, he couldn't care much anymore, picked up the frost sorrow that fell on his side, and submerged the sword blade into the enemy's body.
Phew!
The bloody Frost Sorrow was pulled out of the enemy's body, and with a wisp of pale cyan ghost, it was absorbed into the body of the Frost Sorrow's sword, and then, the inscription on the sword flickered a few times, as if it was a response after a full drink.
"How much longer are we going to hold out?"
Dakuru was covered in blood, and God knows how many enemies he had slaughtered, but Dakuru felt his hands go a little sore in the face of these viculd, fearless and undaunted like mad dogs.
"Soon. ”
Xue Huan gasped, "They can't eat us, after withstanding this wave of enemy attacks, in order to destroy us, Skadi will definitely draw more Viku warriors, and at that time, it is the time for us to counterattack!"
"Understood. ”
Dakuru bowed slightly, his body turned crimson again, and he spun his tomahawk and reflexively charged into the enemy line again.
After Dakuru left, Xue Huan wiped his forehead, sweat and enemy blood mixed together, this is probably the most severe test he has ever experienced!
The battle grew more intense, which made Skadi a little restless on the dragon's back, and the stench of corpses piled up and the mottled walls were covered with blood.
Seeing that the Scourge was becoming more difficult and its destruction was imminent, he tightened his reins and landed on the platform, whispering to one of his retinue.
"Go quickly, draw reinforcements, and pull out all the troops in the castle, these natural disaster lackeys are almost unbearable!"
"Yes, Chief!"
The Viku warrior nodded, turned and trotted toward the castle.
The scales of battle tipped in favor of the Vikus, and Xue Huan and his few remaining Scourge warriors were trapped in a corner, making a final desperate resistance.
Seeing that the enemy's destruction was imminent, and that he didn't even have to do it himself, a smile that belonged to the victor hung on the corner of Skadi's mouth.
