Chapter 6, Necromancer

There were only seventeen mercenaries left, and the number of skeleton soldiers was increasing, far exceeding the overall number of the Grey Dove mercenary group.

The rest of the men formed an improvised line of defense, they had been fighting together for many years, they knew each other very well, and with close cooperation, more and more skeleton soldiers fell in front of the mercenaries.

But such a battle is also the most prone to casualties, and there are constantly mercenaries who are hit because they can't parry too many attacks, fall forward to the ground, and are immediately cut into meat sauce by countless long swords, and in the blink of an eye, the number of mercenaries has plummeted to thirteen, and the heavy casualties make the rest of the people about to collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that the skeleton soldiers did not accept prisoners of war at all, I am afraid that this group of mercenaries would have surrendered long ago.

Captain Dennis was the only one who did not enter the defense line, not because he was arrogant, but because he was too far away from the defense line, with more than twenty skeleton soldiers in between, he alone could not rush at all, and the remaining mercenaries were powerless to rescue him, so they could only watch their regiment commander gradually lose under the siege of skeleton soldiers.

In the chaos of the battle, no one noticed that a humanoid creature in a black cloak, with a long staff in hand, walked out of the dense forest and followed the skeleton soldiers to the river beach.

The black cloak was as dirty as if it had been trampled on the ground, with fine grass roots and large traces of dirt, the staff was a very ordinary wooden staff, but the hand that stretched out from under the cloak and held the staff had an erosive dark brown skin, and it was densely covered with bulging green tendons.

The eyes under the cloak were a pair of scarlet glow, and it looked down at the mercenaries on the ground, who could no longer distinguish human form, and many of the skeleton soldiers who had fallen apart.

The black-cloaked man looked up, his staff slamming to the ground.

A faint circle of black-gray light emanated from the ground where it was struck by the staff, spreading radially to the entire river beach, and the attack of dozens of skeleton soldiers immediately became more ferocious, the turquoise flames in their eyes beat violently, and the pitch-black skeleton seemed to emit a circle of black light, scrambling forward, attacking, and in the blink of an eye, two more mercenaries were killed.

Zhang Yi also had to hold the long sword, summon up the courage to fill the gap in the defensive line, and guard the two only long-range firepower in the back.

Dennis smashed a skeletal soldier with a hammer, and his eyes finally caught the black-cloaked man standing on the edge of the riverbank.

Without even thinking about it, he could tell that the black-cloaked man was the commander of these skeleton soldiers.

Defeat it, and you can turn defeat into victory.

The thought crossed his mind, and Dennis immediately put it into action, holding his shield in front of him and rushing forward with a low roar.

His body was tall and burly, and the elite warriors unleashed a powerful force that knocked several skeleton soldiers into the air along the way.

The black-cloaked man turned his head, and his scarlet gaze fell on Dennis, who was rushing straight at him.

"An elite warrior?!"

The words flowed through the black cloaked man's heart, and with a flick of his rotten palm, seven or eight skeleton soldiers immediately stood between Dennis and it.

"Drink!"

Dennis screamed in anger and kicked his feet on the ground, cracking a rock apart, and with the force of the recoil, he jumped up and jumped over the head of the skeleton soldier.

The weapon rattled and a sword stabbed from below, aiming at Dennis's abdomen.

He couldn't change direction or stop the sword, but in the distance, a crisp bowstring sounded, and an arrow burst through the air and struck the sword that stabbed Dennis, the force of the arrow knocking the sword crooked.

Dennis didn't have time to thank his niece, for he had already fallen to the position of the black cloaked man, and he roared in mid-air, and a mace the size of a human head swung to smash the black cloaked man's head to pieces.

"Stupid!"

The black-cloaked man snorted faintly in his heart, and the staff in his hand swung forward, and the black magic power flowed out, constructing an instantaneous spell in an instant.

In front of it, the earth snapped open, and a thick bone spear burst out of the ground, the sharp tip forming a cone-shaped cyclone in the air, stabbing at Dennis.

Dennis's eyes widened to the limit, he only had time to hold the shield in his hand across his chest, and the next moment he felt the whole person slam in midair, and the shield made of hardwood was vulnerable to the huge force, and quickly turned into broken pieces.

The bone spear first stabbed Dennis's arm holding the shield, and the entire arm immediately exploded, turning into a blurry mass of flesh, and the bone spear then passed through the mass of flesh, sinking into Dennis's chest, and the tip of the spear burst out of his back.

Dennis's burly body fell in front of the black-cloaked man, and he glanced down, his scarlet gaze tinged with cruelty and playfulness.

"Uncle!!"

Susan, who had been watching here, let out a scream of unbelievable pain, she froze in place, and the only remaining mercenaries around her were also stagnant because of the death of the regimental commander, and immediately another mercenary was cut to the ground, and the entire improvised defense line had become shaky and would collapse at any moment.

Zhang Yi also saw the scene of Captain Dennis being killed, but at the same time, his attention was more on the black cloaked man who had performed the [Earth Bone Spear Technique].

The Earth Bone Spear Technique is a ring spell in the undead magic, and it can be able to control so many skeleton soldiers at the same time, but also instantaneously such a ring of magic.

There is no doubt that this black-cloaked man is a true one-ring necromancer.

This answer made Zhang Yi's heart sink uncontrollably, in a more distant era that was not recorded in the ancient poems of Truiville, there was no necromancer profession in the world of Elend.

However, one of the Seven Wizards, the evil black mage Ryoma, in order to continue his life that was about to end, he did not hesitate to travel to the Exiled Land, found the forgotten Temple of the Dead in the boundless pale wasteland, and sacrificed his loyalty and soul to the temple's Dead Lord Aki Audi, and obtained the Rotten Body and the Crystal Heart. , and create a zĂ o out of alternative magic based on the undead.

Dracoma spread necromancy to the human world, and since then Elender has an evil profession that takes pleasure in playing with the dead.

Captain Dennis is undoubtedly a qualified elite warrior, and if he is allowed to lead a complete group of gray dove mercenaries, he may even be able to kill a first-ring rank spellcaster in a sneak attack.

But now that the situation is completely reversed, they have been attacked by a one-ring spellcaster, and they are also the undead spellcasters who are the best at group fighting, and there is no need to explain what will happen to the gray dove mercenary group.

The word group annihilation, Zhang Yi doesn't know how many times he has experienced it in the game!

What to do? We can't fight back, and we can't outrun the skeleton soldiers in the forest.

Zhang Yi had never felt that death was so near, and the rest of them could not be the opponent of the One-Ring Spellcaster.

Are they going to be wiped out here today?

And at this moment, Zhang Yi's eyes caught the necromancer in the distance once again raised the staff in his hand, that is, the rudimentary staff, as if something was condensing at the top of its staff, and then it aimed the staff at the remaining mercenaries, and waved it down, Zhang Yi saw a pitch-black mass flying towards them in the night.

Zhang Yi's mind raced, and he immediately recalled one of the only two ranged attack spells of the undead one-ring spellcaster

"Venom Burst"

His heart jumped heavily, and in an instant, cold sweat covered his whole body, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Run, run, run." ”

As he shouted, he pushed the remaining mercenaries to get out of here quickly, his gaze swept in front of him, landing on the cold stone river on the beach.

At this moment, Zhang Yi's mentality, under the pressure of death, finally recovered to the bold and confident technical flow player in the game.

"Run into the river, quick."

He roared loudly, and although the remaining mercenaries didn't understand, they still subconsciously listened to his shouts when the regiment commander died and the current chaos went away, and rushed away from the skeleton soldiers in front of them and ran towards the cold stone river.

Zhang Yi turned around, and now Susan was still standing in place, and was about to reach out to the quiver behind him to get the arrow, when he stopped when he stepped out, and hurriedly grabbed this girl with amazing archery skills and pulled her towards the cold stone river.

But Zhang Yi's rescue was still limited after all, and there were still four mercenaries who hesitated about his words, and their escape was a little slower.

In the night, the slightly slow venom finally flew to its destination, the black-green venom exploded violently in the air, and countless venoms of the size of raindrops fell from mid-air, as if a poisonous rain had fallen, and the four mercenaries who were one step slower fell on their heads.

A terrible scream sounded immediately, these venoms were extremely corrosive, two or three drops could kill a living man, and the places on the bodies of the four mercenaries that were hit by the venom drops, whether it was their stomachs or clothes, all came out of the pungent white smoke in an instant, melting into green blood water.

The screams only lasted for a short time before disappearing, Zhang Yi knew what he looked like after being hit by the spell of venom explosion, but he was afraid that now the four mercenaries had melted into four bones, so he didn't look back, but pulled Susan, followed by the other mercenaries and jumped into the cold stone river.

"Cross the river, quick!"

Zhang Yi let out a loud shout, and then pulled Susan to swim across the river first, and the surviving mercenaries followed suit and rushed to the other side of the river.

Fortunately, although this section of the cold stone river is turbulent, the depth is only as deep as an adult's chest, and even if you can't swim, you are not afraid of being washed away.

And Zhang Yi let the mercenaries go down the river for only one reason - the skeleton soldiers can't swim, their empty skeletons have nowhere to borrow strength in the water, and if they go into the water, they can't move as freely as humans.

Sure enough, several skeleton soldiers went into the water in hot pursuit, and were immediately swept away by the rushing river.

But the skeleton soldiers had no affection at all, so they were not afraid or hesitate at all, and rushed down the cold stone river, and soon five or six more bodies were washed away by the river.

With an invisible wave that rippled through the skulls of the skeleton soldiers, the skeletons finally stopped their suicide and returned to the riverbank.

The necromancer walked to the river beach and glanced up at the survivors who had disappeared across the river, his scarlet gaze unrecognizable to what he was thinking.

The next moment, it swung its staff, and green flames ignited from beneath its feet, spreading towards the slain mercenaries and their tents.
