Act 400: The Battle of Lingbao
"The undead are coming! Everyone's in the battle position! All personnel are in battle! β
Listening to the roar of the loudspeaker overhead, Valen quickly ran from the inner side of the city wall to the outer female wall, grabbed the binoculars and placed them in front of him.
On the ground were a vast number of skeleton warriors, those undead were not inferior goods that Valen had ever seen, they were all more than two meters tall, with strong bones, and they were dressed in finely carved and ancient fine fish scale armor, and the layers were extremely thick!
It was even a little thicker than the armor of the King's Guard he had ever seen!
Instead of the usual shield sword pairings used by the Bone Warriors, the undead held in their hands a massive slashing greatsword almost as tall as theirs, and the style was as ancient as the armor.
For the undead who have a long life, you don't know what era they come from, the dead from a few years ago can be the undead, and the same can be hundreds of years ago, and similarly, thousands of years ago.
These skeletal warriors were all transformed from the followers of the Eternal Holy Sect seven hundred years ago, and most of the armor and weapons on their bodies were also made at that time, and their styles were naturally very different from the intricate pattern plate armor that was popular at this time.
It's not surprising that wanting to live in the world of the dead has to endure this vastly different aesthetic change, but ...... To be honest, he has become an undead, in fact, there is no need to think about aesthetics or anything, unless he can advance to the top level.
The 130mm naval guns mounted on the tip of the Lingbao star were the first to roar, and this super cannon with the perfect combination of power, rate of fire and accuracy quickly turned the ground where the Skeleton Warrior was located into a sea of fire.
Although they had already seen the powerful firepower of Stormwind City during the live-fire exercise, when they really saw such dense firepower on the battlefield, Valen and the mercenaries of the Seven Kingdoms still couldn't help but shout excitedly.
Such a violent explosion can be compared to the attack of the mage group, and the rate of fire is far beyond it! What else can the undead be afraid of under such a blow?
But the Chinese officers and soldiers who actually operated the artillery were all frowning, without exception, because they found that this group of skeleton warriors was obviously different from the undead they had encountered before.
In the past, there was no need to hit at close range, just being swept by the blast wave or shrapnel of the explosion was enough to take away a group of low- and medium-level undead.
And these skeletal warriors are obviously much stronger!
A shell exploded at a distance of four or five meters around him, and the shock wave directly blew the body away, and then hit the ground hard, but it didn't take two seconds to still get up and continue to move forward!
This has happened more than once, and what seems like a heavy artillery fire is far from fatal to this wave of undead!
An alert soon sounded in the public channel.
"Everyone, beware, these undead have very hard bones! Be careful! β
Valen looked at the continuous explosions in front of him suspiciously, the bones were very hard? Is there really any monster that can survive such an attack?
Soon, Valen understood why the Chinese were so worriedβthe number of the undead hadn't decreased much after passing through the blast zone! Although almost everyone was injured, it was not enough for the undead to stop.
"Shoot fast! Fast! β
I don't know which one shouted in a loud voice, and then the people on the entire city wall where Valen was located began a frantic attack, although the order from above was not given.
But it didn't stop either.
Although the Bone Warriors are cannon fodder among the high-level undead, they are also high-level undead, and the 12.7mm machine gun bullets splashed the fish scale armor on their bodies, but they can't stop their footsteps, and it takes up to five or six seconds of non-stop strafing to defeat a Bone Warrior, which is too slow for the number of undead horrors!
As for the magic of the mages, it is even more unbearable, even with the help of a spear-shaped wand, it cannot change the embarrassing scene of being a low-level but having to face a high-level.
Seeing the undead gather more and more under the city wall, Valen nervously summoned two flame elementals, quietly floated down and rushed into the undead array, and one of the bone warriors burned together was then divided by the slasher, turned into a puddle of ashes and disappeared - the dark fighting spirit of the undead can still cause damage to elemental creatures.
"How can we hold on to such a battle...... Will I die here in the first battle of Varen's journey north? β
Valen looked desperately at the still growing skeleton warriors below, and even the figure of the Lich appeared in the distance, and in the distance, some huge figures shook faintly in the smoke and firelight.
Without a doubt, they are definitely tougher guys than the current Bone Warriors!
Just as he had re-summoned a fire elemental and was about to control it to attack the undead, Valen was shocked to see those skeletal warriors actually plunging their two-handed slashing swords into the city wall!
Although the blade didn't penetrate too deep into the reinforced concrete walls, it was enough to support their bodies to climb upwards!
"Heavy man! Sweep them down! β
All of Wallenban's two heavy machine guns are placed protruding from the city walls, and they can be turned to fire at the undead who climb along the wall if needed, and with a thick shield, the heavy machine guns are not very afraid of suppressive attacks from the undead, but the others are not.
The fire mage in Valen's class was about to poke his head out and knock out a climbing skeleton warrior, but he didn't expect that a group of skeleton warrior archers had gathered below, and he was hit by a dense array of shots as soon as he poked out his head, if it weren't for Valen's quick eyes to pull him back, he would have turned into a headless corpse at this time.
With a large number of ranged units such as archers, this is one of the places where the undead of the Eternal Holy Cult are far stronger than other undead forces. Relying on a large number of human craftsmen, they can perform basic maintenance on the weapons of the middle and high-level undead, and weapons such as bows and arrows that are not maintained for a year or two can become conventional weapons.
"Do you want to die!? This is not a Blood Keep! Our enemies aren't the trashy summoned by the Psychic Tower! Those archers are no worse than our best rangers! β
"Hug ...... I'm sorry. The fire mage wiped his cold sweat and sincerely apologized, he had served in the Blood Keep Legion before, so he had just subconsciously followed his previous experience.
"It's your fate this time!" Valen pointed to the opposite wall and said, "Remember what I said earlier? This is Lingbao! We don't have to sweep up the brain-sized guys in our own part of the city, the companions on the opposite side will help kill them, and we just need to take out the monsters on the opposite wall! β
