Chapter Twenty-Four: It's All Expected
Mora, the Lich, had her eyes fixed on the sky. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At an altitude of several thousand meters, a burst of flares erupted from time to time, proving that air battles were taking place there.
In order to avoid air combat and prevent stray bullets, the steel combat plane has re-disappeared among the clouds, and the thunderous sound of the magic engine has also disappeared under the cover of magic.
The lich withdrew his gaze and looked at the remains of the undead in the vicinity.
When the planes bombarded him in the air, the lich used some of the nearby undead as a medium in time, forming a strong bone shield, resisting the magical bombardment, and not being harmed at all.
Although the undead in the vicinity of hundreds of meters were all blown to pieces, it was quite worth the sacrifice to be able to draw out the hidden threat in the sky.
The army of the undead created by the lich is extremely lacking in the combat power to be able to fly, once the enemy has mastered the air supremacy, they will fall into passivity, but because of the appearance of lily of the valley, the attention of the air combat troops is distracted, so that they have no time to be distracted, and the lich can focus on the battle on the ground without worrying about being sneak attacked.
The empty skeletal eye sockets of the Lich Mora threw themselves at the human forces not far away.
The human army remained motionless, remaining in place and confronting the undead.
Many of the 100,000 troops kept looking up, and the battle in the sky made them very curious, if it weren't for the undead army being close at hand, they would definitely look up and watch.
Seeing the attack of the steel plane on the undead just now, even the stupidest people knew that they were their own people, so they were very concerned about the condition of the plane that disappeared quickly after being attacked, and worried that this powerful support would not be lost.
The soldiers from the Tiberion Empire were still watching and watching, and they would not act rashly until the commander had any other orders from them, and would be on the alert to the enemy even if anything happened.
This is the difference between a professional soldier and a militia formed in an improvised formation, regardless of the level of training, in terms of discipline alone.
The Lich understood their strategy, and in the face of an army of 70,000 undead - now 10,000 skeleton cannon fodder - it could be said that against 60,000 monsters, with only 10,000 mages and 30,000 soldiers, even if they were well-trained soldiers, it was quite reluctant.
This is not only a matter of individual strength, but also a gap in combat strength if there is too much difference in numbers, and even if we do not hesitate to sacrifice other temporarily recruited militiamen, we will not be able to change the unfavorable situation.
And to deal with the army of the undead who lack aerial combat power, sending the air combat Magister troops to carry out a one-sided attack in the air is the tactic with the least consumption, and it is also the most suitable choice.
It's not that the Tiberion Empire doesn't have other means, it's not that they don't have enough power, it's that they can't do it.
The 40,000 soldiers they have sent from their own country is already the limit, and if they mobilize more troops, they will soon be found by other countries and will be subjected to unilateral accusations and attacks, which will affect their international status.
If the Tiberion Empire directly sent a strategic-level magister, the battle might be over early in the morning, but they couldn't do so, the strategic-level magister could be regarded as a threatening weapon of mass destruction to a certain extent, and on top of the international peace treaty, it was stipulated that these bigwigs could not enter and leave the country at will, so as not to bring adverse effects.
Therefore, no matter how much the Tiberion Empire pays attention to the Belabet region, it can only send a limited amount of military strength, and it is their greatest effort to use the air combat Magister troops.
But all this has been seen through by Lin Yuan.
The lich calmly looked at the human army, they would not take the initiative to attack, the two sides would fight directly, and the undead would definitely win.
Humanity is waiting for the battle in the sky to end, and as long as the air forces can free their hands, the best time to deal with the undead is the best time.
The Lich, however, knew that humanity had missed out on its best chance to win.
It's all over.
By the time he absorbed the undead miasma and used it as a medium to activate that magic, it was all over.
The magic he used, the effects of which were silent, and not interrupting him while casting spells was the biggest mistake of the human army.
In other words, forming an army to stand in front of the lich is the biggest mistake.
Originally, the magic had no name, but after the lich told his master the details of the magic, he got a very suitable name.
His master said with a smile at that time.
"This magic of yours is called 'Scourge of the Dead'. ”
A strong burst of light erupted from high in the sky, and there was a change on the ground.
"Ahhh
First, it was a small group of people wailing.
"What are you doing! What are you nervous about! Wow! Don't bite me!"
Then, it was the left and right sides of the human army that began to change.
"Don't come! help, Lord Magister, these people are crazy! they ...... They ......"
In the end, tens of thousands of people attacked their companions as if they were going berserk.
The men were blackened, their eyes glazed off, their mouths wide open, and they gnawed at the nearby soldiers, scratching at each other's bodies with their hands, and they were out of control like wild beasts.
Seeing this abnormal state, the imperial soldiers, who were no matter how calm their mentality was, also began to get agitated.
It happened so suddenly, and it was too inexplicable.
The formation of 100,000 men began to become chaotic, and many militiamen fled in all directions to avoid the madmen, some out of the camp in an attempt to avoid the dark-skinned fanaticists, and some ran to the Magister force in the center to seek their refuge.
In the midst of the chaos, those who looked like madmen ran towards the military front of the Empire, desperately rushing in front of the soldiers who raised their swords to warn.
The Imperial soldiers, who had no other choice, saw those people rushing towards them with their teeth and claws, so they had to fight back with their swords and kill them all.
When the Imperial soldiers saw the other party spurting blood and falling, their attention immediately turned to the other madmen who rushed over, so they were negligent for a moment.
Those who fell to the ground, their chests completely cut open and their internal organs fell out, and they should have died no more, but they still moved.
"What!"
There were many Imperial soldiers, attacked by these dead men who had risen from the ground, and were crushed under them by a person in their distractions, and they lost their breath.
"Is it ......?"
When the Imperial Commander saw the men in this state, he immediately looked back at the army of the undead who were silent.
"These people...... Have you become an undead?"
However, they found that this did not help the current situation, and the militia that had become undead was originally mixed in the array of the army, which led to even more chaos now.
Because of the lack of discipline, the improvised militia shouted and fled everywhere, which in turn affected the professional armies and magnages who were able to cope with this chaos, leaving them at a loss as to what to do.
The chaos spreads, the fear spreads, and the corpses continue to increase.
The Lich watched it all with unfazed care.
That's the effect of his magic 'Scourge'.
The Undead Scourge can silently transform living creatures into undead.
The miasma produced by the undead will make living creatures feel uncomfortable, and even seriously ill because of it, but it has no more effect, but the lich can absorb this miasma, and then use it as a medium, with its own magic, to transform the miasma into a magical virus, which can be used to attack.
This magical virus is not long-lasting, but it is extremely aggressive, and can turn living creatures into undead in a short period of time.
The Lich had already absorbed the miasma and had already unleashed the Undead Scourge virus on the human army, infecting those people.
The Scourge Virus has a few minutes of incubation, so the Lich stands still, and if this magical virus breaks out, humanity will destroy itself.
The lich watched unfazed at the chaos in the human army while estimating the effect of this first-time magic.
The Undead Scourge Virus has attached itself to everyone's bodies, but not all of them have become undead, only about 30,000 people out of the 100,000 army have been infected, and none of those Magus have become undead.
The Lich probably knows that humans will have a certain degree of resistance to the undead disaster, and the healthier and stronger the person, the stronger the immunity to the virus, and the magister has a magical body, so the undead disaster cannot affect the other party.
The Undead Scourge also has a downside in terms of transformation, as the virus can only turn humans into the lowest zombies, and cannot create other undead.
At this time, the soldiers of the Tiberion Empire are no longer soft-hearted, and in such chaos, in order to preserve their strength, as long as they dare to rush up, whether they are normal people without mutations, or uncontrolled undead, they will also attack together.
This move of the Imperial soldiers made the scene even more chaotic.
"Almost. ”
Mora the Lich looked at the mixture of undead and humans, and raised her staff.
The real purpose of the undead scourge is not to transform zombies, but to cooperate with another magic to achieve the greatest results.
Mora the Lich gave full play to his magic without any reservations.
Then, the explosion happened.
The undead zombies in the human camp all suddenly swelled up, and then spewed out a large amount of magic and exploded.
Tens of thousands of zombies exploded at the same time, making a series of loud noises.
Corpse blasting, as the name suggests, is magic that detonates the undead.
Sacrificing the body of the undead turns it into a magic that kills both the bomb and the enemy.
This is the correct way to use the Undead Scourge, a magical combo that cannot be resisted as long as the opponent is a living creature.
The explosion of magic does not produce flames, but it creates a powerful shockwave, so the ground is suddenly covered with flesh and blood, and the wreckage of undead and humans first sprays into the air, and then rains down.
The shouts of the Devil Cry God Cry from the humans who were lucky enough to survive were only the militia of ordinary people who suffered heavy casualties, and the vast majority of those who survived were also seriously injured and had completely lost their will to fight.
The Magister troops in the center of the human army suffered the least damage, because there were militiamen on the periphery as meat shields, plus the protection of their own magic walls, except for a few unlucky Magisters, there was basically no loss.
However, those soldiers of the empire suffered serious losses, and the original army of about 30,000 people was reduced by more than half because of the self-explosion of the undead.
The lich looked at the surviving human forces, and had no intention of pursuing them, and all the undead remained in place.
The overall situation has been decided, the human army can no longer fight, and they have no other choice but to retreat.
The purpose of making the other party bleed has been achieved, and the lich does not need to be killed, this is a plan set by the General Staff, representing the will of the master, and he only needs to obey.
Like a statue, the lich watched in silence as the remnants of the human forces retreated.
On the plain, there are only fragments of a place, which records the battles that took place here.
At this time, there were also successive explosions in the sky, which emitted a mixed glow of colors in the clouds.
The lich slowly looked up, and saw the image of a large number of air combat magisters hurrying towards the west, away from the silver starlight.
The battle in the sky is also over.
It was the expected victory, a complete victory with overwhelming force.
Everything was planned.
