Chapter 156: The Invading Skeleton Army
On the west side of Jiangcheng, on the edge of the Yangtze River, a large number of skeleton soldiers gathered, and they did not take the broken bridge, but went directly into the water and rushed to the opposite bank.
It was difficult to tell their numbers in the mist, except that there were a large number of skeleton soldiers floating in the river, slowly advancing.
The mutant fish in the river tried to attack the skeleton soldiers on both sides, but they did not know the weakness of the attack, and the damage caused was limited, and the skeleton soldiers were all bones and no flesh, so many mutant fish gave up after attacking.
Even if some mutant fish were attacking, they were insignificant to the huge army of skeleton soldiers, and many of the mutant fish were crushed into slag under the torrent of the skeleton army, staining the river red.
Although the army of skeletons was menacing, they were also lost in the fog and gave up, huddled in a heap, and only a few made it to the other side.
However, there were 100,000 skeleton soldiers who arrived on the other side, and they took the lead in attacking, rushing towards the place where there were living people.
The first to suffer was the planting field on the west side, which was flattened by the torrent of 100,000 skeleton soldiers, and the grain that had not yet had time to be harvested was lost.
Because Jiangcheng was not very well prepared, the defenders in Xicheng were directly submerged by the skeleton army, and they couldn't even resist, and when Jiangcheng's reinforcements arrived, they had already died and suffered heavy losses.
The forces of the major families are on the north side, and now the west side has suffered heavy losses, and they have also fought twelve points of spirit, but in the protection of their own forces, they have sent less than 10,000 troops, and they are all cowering behind the city wall to defend.
The military took out 50,000 inheritors and went to the west side to protect the plantation area, and the ordinary soldiers who were originally guarding there belonged to a relatively low type, and they couldn't stop the skeleton army at all.
This is also a mistake of the military, they did not expect that the skeleton army would break through and attack, and they were not afraid of water, so they did not draw much troops to protect the plantation, after all, the threat given to them by the orcs is the greatest, and the scattered forces are easy to be broken one by one.
But the military's support was quite timely, reducing a lot of losses, and under the counterattack of the inheritors, the 100,000 skeleton soldiers were like a piece of meat, easily cut by a knife.
When it seemed that these skeleton soldiers were about to be dealt with, the reinforcements of the skeleton soldiers actually felt that there were 300,000 skeleton soldiers climbing up from the water.
Unlike the previous 100,000 skeleton soldiers, the later 200,000 skeleton soldiers have 10,000 skeleton shield guards alone, including long-haired skeleton soldiers and archers skeletons, this kind of long-range troops.
What's more, there seems to be something behind this group of skeleton soldiers in command, and although they are not in formation, they still have basic common sense.
A wave of arrows rained down, and the 50,000 inheritor soldiers were suddenly killed and wounded, and they wanted to fight back but couldn't hit the archers hiding behind, so they could only swallow their anger and retreat.
As time passed, Jiang Cheng and the skeleton army were stalemate, and Jiang Cheng had the ability to destroy this group of skeleton army, but that would cause heavy losses, so he could only take the defensive and slowly consume the strength of the skeleton army.
However, there are constantly skeleton soldiers climbing up in the river, and it is very unfavorable for Jiangcheng to go on like this, and the skeleton soldiers on the west side are millions of them!
At the same time, the skeleton army of Tongshan Castle was also attacking the fortress built by the orcs in H City, which was easy to defend by relying on the strength of the orcs.
But these skeletons have been attacking for many days, and the orc soldiers in the fortress are tired and without food, and finally they can't hold on anymore and are captured.
Millions of skeleton soldiers swept in, the green plants withered under the erosion of the breath of death, and a large number of mutant crows rose from the treetops.
Under the protection of a group of skeleton shield guards, several skeletons in black robes came to the cemetery in the back mountain of H City, to be precise, several old grave mountains, they looked at each other and nodded.
Let the skeleton soldiers move over to find the materials that have been prepared, and build a huge altar, if Li Yuanfang sees this scene, he will definitely be able to recognize it, this altar is exactly the same as the altar used by the lich he has seen, only dozens of times larger.
……
……
After Li Yuanfang found the skeleton army, he immediately woke everyone up, his territory was less than a kilometer away from the Yangtze River, and it was easy to be attacked.
In the face of those hundreds of thousands of skeleton soldiers, he was confident that he could hold on, and now the fire demon could last for ten minutes, which didn't seem like much, but it was actually very terrifying.
Thinking that a fragile monster like a skeleton soldier can't block the attack of the fire demon at all, a random lava fireball can destroy a piece, and there will not be even a slag left.
What's more, he also has a ring of city walls, and the most powerful monster in the skeleton army is the skeleton shield guard, and the skeleton shield guard can't climb such a high city wall.
With these guarantees, Li Yuanfang did not have the intention of retreating, but he also made preparations for retreat in advance in case of unexpected situations.
After a sleepless night, the sky gradually brightened, and there was no morning sun to be seen, and the temperature became colder, and the ground was covered with frost, which was similar to the scene on the west side of the eastern city.
Obviously, it has nothing to do with these skeletons, and this time it is even more serious, which can't help but make people vigilant.
When the day dawned, the skeleton army did not retreat, and a piece of bad news came, and the reinforcements of the skeleton army arrived again.
These 200,000 skeleton soldiers did not converge with the previous army, but attacked in a different direction, and Li Yuanfang happened to be in this direction!
The territory immediately entered a state of alert, and everyone was in good spirits, and it would be a hard battle to follow.
As the skeleton soldiers approached, they soon found the living people, all of them poured up, the walls were too high, the skeleton army had no siege equipment, there was no way.
Even so, everyone did not relax, and sure enough, a wave of arrows rained down from the sky, and no one dared to take the lead, which would only be shot into a hedgehog.
After the rain of arrows, the lowest skeletal swordsmen poured towards the city wall, piling up a wall of skeletons so that the skeletons behind could climb it.
For these, Li Yuanfang doesn't have a good way to fight back, he really lacks archers and energy gunners, but unfortunately these professions are very popular, and there will be no force left for others at all.
There are many mage professions, but mages need to consume a lot of resources and time to cultivate, otherwise they will not be lethal, but there will be no archers and energy gunners to be valued.
It is impossible for Li Yuanfang not to hinder the army of skeletons, he also has a younger sister, and his sister Luo Yuyi has both an archer and an ability gunner class, and now she can play a role.
Real sister Li Yuqi is a seventh-line mage, but she has to keep her spiritual power for summoning, and her seventh-line mage profession has reached the peak of the late third-order stage, so she still hides before she has enough ability to protect herself.
You must know that the peak of the late third order cannot be described as a genius at all for the current people, and all the forces are estimated to be angry at this, which will cause a lot of trouble.
However, Li Yuanfang can only solve these troubles by taking his sister to completely join the military, but he has no such plan, the secrets on his body are too terrifying, it is better to keep a low profile.
Finally, there is Fang Xiaoxiao, she has obtained the inheritance of the lich, and may have a way to deal with the skeleton soldiers.
But this little Lori of the ghost beast wants a reward before she can say it!
This time, the head touching kill actually lost its effect, and Li Yuanfang had no choice but to ignore her conscience and give her a special reward.
"Xiaoxiao is the cutest, I like Xiaoxiao the most! Xiaoxiao will marry me when she grows up! Li Yuanfang said, Fang Xiaoxiao nodded, snuggled into Li Yuanfang's arms with a satisfied face, and looked at Luo Yuyi and the other girls proudly.
"Hmph, my brother is not Lolicon!" Li Yuqi held back her anger and turned her head, out of sight, and her mood was a little better.
Luo Yuyi's expression did not change, only saw her show a shallow smile, and only heard the words muttering "If she is allowed to disappear completely, it will make so-and-so angry".
