Chapter 145: The Shadow of the Sun: The Gargoyle Army Descends
Reinforcements?!
Xue Huan held the sorrow of frost in his hand and looked coldly at the southern sky.
As the terrible hiss got closer and closer, everyone saw the monsters for what they really were.
What kind of monster is this...
They resemble bats, with ugly appearances, two sharp fangs on their mouths, dark bodies covered with thick hair, and terrifying eyes that glow bloodthirsty red in the gloomy and dark sky.
They flapped their tattered wings incessantly, and from time to time their mouths emitted harsh noise waves.
Xue Huan looked at the terrifying "dark cloud" in the sky and muttered, "What the hell are those ghosts!?"
"It's a gargoyle, my dear master. ”
Kel'thugad had already floated out from behind the sheltered stone wall and stood side by side with Xue Huan, perhaps because the Lich's tone had become much lighter when he saw the reinforcements arrive.
"Don't worry, my master, those adorable little ones are the domesticated pets of His Majesty the Lich King, they are bloodthirsty, ruthless, and swift and agile, and there will be no way for their prey to live. With these little guys, those dragon knights have nothing to fear!"
Looking at Xue Huan's solemn eyes, Kel'thugad chuckled.
As soon as the lich's voice fell, the gargoyles in mid-air had already arrived above the castle of Utgard, they were not too big, but with the advantage of numbers, they frantically attacked those dragon raiders.
Xue Huan had to admit that this was the first time he had seen such a bloodthirsty, brutal, and crazy undead creature.
The gargoyles hissed wildly, frantically pounced on the massive Ancestral Dragons, and whenever they approached a young Archaeopter, the bloodthirsty gargoyles bared their sharp fangs and gnawed at the skin of the dragons.
In front of the gargoyles' sharp teeth, the original hard skin of the ancestral dragon was easily torn apart, and groups of gargoyles lay on the dragon's body, almost frantically tearing at the dragons' flesh and blood.
The mournful roar of the Primordial Dragons pierced the silent night sky of the Howling Windsfjord!
As more and more gargoyles broke in, the arrogant dragon knights were a little overwhelmed, their huge size changed from their previous advantage to a fatal weakness in an instant, no matter how they broke free, they could never get rid of these gargoyles like ghosts.
The Viku riding on these dragons were also attacked by the gargoyles, and the dragons' proud speed advantage was lost in front of the agile gargoyles.
Under the attack of these ferocious gargoyles, the Viku people seemed to be unable to control the dragon under their crotch, and from time to time a dragon knight was thrown into the air and let out a terrible scream!
The people below were stunned, especially Xue Huan, who saw this creature for the first time, and subconsciously stopped thinking, staring at the battle above with dull eyes.
This kind of battle is something they can't interfere in, not to mention that these gargoyles have an absolute advantage in the battle with these dragons, and with these dark creatures so dense, the long-range strike force they use may accidentally injure their allies, which is not a good choice.
Xue Huan simply ordered the army under his command to wait in place, just watching the battle in mid-air.
But fortunately, these gargoyles did not disappoint Xue Huan.
With a heavy roar, a gargoyle-torn dragon knight slammed into the walls of Utgard with a dragon, and then fell to the riverbank, sending a cloud of dust up in the air.
The dragon's smooth skin had been gnawed by gargoyles, and it was full of holes, and even the flesh on its wings had been torn off most of it.
With the first comes the second, these raging and bloodthirsty gargoyles seem to have been born to kill, their agile movements and sheer numbers make them unbridled in their air supremacy.
The dragon knight on the back of the dragon wielded his weapon wildly, trying to drive away the haunting gargoyles, but there were too many enemies, and they could not use all their strength on the back of the dragon, so they could only watch as these hateful dark creatures ate away at their mounts.
The army of black-pressed gargoyles swept through the sky above Utgard Castle like a black storm.
"Kel'thugad!"
Xue Huan forced himself to look away from the battle in the sky, knowing that those slow-moving dragons were definitely no match for gargoyles.
He wiped away the cold frost sorrow, and turned to the lich behind him, "I'll leave it to those gargoyles here, we have more important things to deal with!!"
"Understood, master!"
Kel'thugad nodded, the clever lich certainly knew in his heart that the "important thing" that Xue Huan was referring to was the top of Utgard on the top floor of the entire castle, which was their main battlefield and the end of this war.
At this time, Dakuru, who was hidden on the other side of the city wall, also came out, the appearance of the troll looked a little embarrassed, the original dark blue skin turned into a charred black gray, it seems that those blazing dragon breath really made Dakuru suffer a little.
Thankfully, the Dakale trolls under his command didn't lose much, and these sapient creatures were clearly different from the self-conscious undead, and they found cover early when the blazing dragon's breath was about to flood the Tyr Tower, and although they panicked, they managed to avoid death.
But the Scourge troops under his command...
Xue Huan glanced coldly at the remnants of the army of undead that had been vaguely gathered, the number of ghouls and zombies was less than a hundred, and the huge abomination had also lost one.
His Scourge forces have suffered heavy losses, having lost nearly seventy percent of their combat effectiveness, and as a result, these Dakale trolls must take on the task of attacking the top of Utgard.
Xue Huan shook his head, a helpless smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Kel'thugad!"
He shouted at the lich behind him.
"Command, my master!"
"I want detailed information about our follow-up battles!"
Facing the castle of Utgard standing majestically like a mountain, Xue Huan desperately wanted to conquer it, but after this short painful lesson, he understood that he could no longer act recklessly, and he could not bear the consequences.
A cold light flashed in Kel's eyes, and it didn't take long for Sen's cold voice to appear in Xue Huan's heart, "After crossing this Tyr platform, we will reach the throne of King Imiron, but a berserker named Ingval is an existence that we cannot ignore. And as we pass through that hall, we may encounter more resistance, and the guy is not personally in command of the battle, I am afraid that he is waiting for us to meet him. ”
Kel'thugad let out a dry laugh.
"Go on!"
"It's worth noting that the guy's subordinate, a dragon knight named Scaddy, is bloodthirsty, murderous, and manic enough to let go of his own. The spear in his hand is quenched with poison, but at the same time, he is also very good at close-quarters combat. ”
"We'd better use the gargoyle against that guy, the numerical advantage might be able to crush him. ”
Kel'thugad reminded.
The lich's words silenced Xue Huan, his mind spinning as he rubbed the blade of Frost's sorrow.
The dragon knight named Skadi could be dealt with by the gargoyles, but the dragon raider Viku fighters along the way, as well as the King of Imiron, were a bit nerve-wracking.
Perhaps, though, there is something he can utilize...
Xue Huan raised his head and looked into the air, the fierce melee had lasted for more than ten minutes, and the overwhelming gargoyles were still raging wildly.
He faintly withdrew his gaze and turned his back to Kel'thugad, his voice unusually cold: "How about using those gargoyles to deal with the Viku people along the way?"
"Uh..."
The lich was a little speechless, and he tilted his head, as if to ponder the feasibility of the plan.
Half an hour later, Kel's Sugaard's voice sounded in Xue Huan's heart: "There are some difficulties!"
"How?"
Xue Huan caressed the sorrow of Frost, and his tone was cold.
Kel'thugad explained: "Firstly, these gargoyles cannot enter the castle, and secondly, if these gargoyles are used against the ground forces, maybe some..."
Kel'thugad's faint voice echoed in Xue Huan's heart, and he didn't say anything else, but the answer was obvious: these gargoyles were better at fighting air forces, and if they were forced to give up speed and air supremacy, they might end up like those dragons!
"But our troops are no longer enough for the next battle!"
Xue Huan put away the frost sorrow in his hand, and there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, no one knew the advantages and disadvantages of these undead creatures better than him, but they also had to face more brutal problems, with these remaining forces, they couldn't even get close to the Imironian throne.
"What if you lure those Veku out?"
Xue Huan came up with another plan.
Draw it out!?
Xue Huan's words seemed to give Kel'thugad some hint, and the lich's eyes suddenly burst out with a gleam.
"My dear master, you are such a genius!!"
