Chapter 339: First Defeat

"No! I don't think we have anywhere to run!" Zhao Yulong didn't look at the earl, but looked ahead, which made the earl Karatok feel shocked.

Now looking at Zhao Yulong's eyes, he saw the last thing he wanted to see. Yes, the army of the undead, which is supposed to be a vanguard army, now there are only a few thousand undead.

But just these thousands of soldiers already frightened him. Yes, as in the armies of all the undead. Standing at the front must be skeletons, they don't have much use, they are used to block bullets.

And behind the skeletons are the ghouls, and some disgusting-looking beetles. Zhao Yulong recognized this kind of beetle, which was mentioned in the book, the third-order remnant beast heart hunting beetle.

However, these beetles in front of them are even more powerful, and sure enough, the things that have received the breath of the undead are indeed not simple.

And behind the beetle was the abomination that the Earl had just introduced to Zhao Yulong. Yes, it was an ugly one, like a patchwork of several things.

To be honest, Zhao Yulong originally thought that the abomination should be like the demons drawn on those books. But he couldn't eat this thing now, but the chains in this guy's hands made people feel a little concerned.

The average undead don't take anything, what does he do with a chain?

Seeing Zhao Yulong standing still now, the earl thought that Zhao Yulong was frightened by this scene: "How? Are you scared? However, these are just the weakest cannon fodder in the undead clan, and now they can all bring us such shocks, not to mention those powerful monsters." Taking advantage of the fact that they are not yet close to us, we shall quickly call the soldiers and hurry away!"

Zhao Yulong didn't seem to hear what he said, and now he raised his hand: "The whole army obeys the order, and half of the soldiers continue to use the encirclement formation to protect these civilians. Kill me, rest of the soldiers! If we want to go back today, we must let these things that have already died once die again!"

After speaking, Zhao Yulong added again: "Iron Tree Blossoming Array!"

"Yes!" With that, a group of horsemen had already rushed towards the undead, and the infantry followed.

In less than half a day, I saw those soldiers rushing in from the middle of the undead army. Then they immediately split into squads and dispersed in all directions.

Although these soldiers are separated, they are implicated in each other. Being able to fight for oneself at any time, and being able to help each other at all times, this is the strength of the Iron Tree Blossoming Array.

And now I don't know if the undead clan is worthy of the name, or if Zhao Yulong's army is too strong. Now it didn't take too long, but he could see his continuous defeat, and the advantage made Zhao Yulong's army take a lot.

"How? With the strength of my army, do you think we can't protect these civilians?" said Zhao Yulong and looked at the earl, waiting for his answer.

"I have to admit that Your Highness, Your Lord, your army is indeed strong. If I pit my army against yours, it will be your victory. But the undead are different, don't underestimate them. Your army now has the upper hand because of surprise, but after a long time, they will react, and you will understand that your army is not up to it. ”

As soon as Karatok's voice was finished, Zhao Yulong sensed that something was wrong. Now I was looking towards the battlefield, and I saw that the skeletons that had been scattered by the cavalry before were assembled together at this time.

Although these are not necessarily their original body parts, they have managed to put themselves together in a patchwork piece. Now they have blocked all the way these soldiers came, and at this time, the soldiers are gradually being separated by them.

In addition, the ghouls' teeth are indeed too sharp, even a little too sharp. Now that the armor of these horses could no longer withstand their bites, there were many cracks.

The ghouls, as if they didn't feel it, began to gnaw at the horse's flesh with their mouths when they saw the rift. No matter where it is, as long as it is a place that can be bitten, they will not let it go.

So it didn't take long for some of the horses to see bones on their feet.

These horses naturally feel pain when they are bitten, and now they are jumping around. And all this disrupted the deployment of the cavalry on horseback, because of the uncertainty of the horse, they always struggled to find a stable point to make a move.

In a few moments, the horses ran out of strength, and their flesh dissipated and fell. Most of these horsemen fell from their horses, although a few landed safely.

But they could not escape one result, which was to be killed. Once they fell off their horses, the ghouls lungled at them like crazy.

And once you get close to them, it's an endless gnawing. Their teeth are so hard that they can bite through even armor made of this special metal.

So once surrounded by these ghouls, in a few quarters of an hour, these soldiers will be reduced to a pile of bones. The bones are then resurrected by the necromancer, making them the next group of undead warriors.

Of course, some of the cavalrymen who were lucky, they stood firm and did not fall, and the situation was better. They straightened up, weapons in hand, guarding against the ghouls who were coming from all directions, though they would inevitably be bitten.

But it's worth it for a little meat for an enemy's life. Although they are long gone, as long as they can move, they are a threat. And what these soldiers want to do is to make it impossible for them to move.

Maybe the cavalry were lucky! They were able to fight like the infantrymen now, after all, the only difference between cavalry and infantry in the East was weapons.

So it's not impossible to swap between the two classes, but they seem to ignore the abomination.

Or rather, Zhao Yulong didn't mention hatred to them. In fact, Zhao Yulong didn't know the hatred, it was only told to him by the earl today. Therefore, these things were naturally not told to these soldiers, which led to their unfamiliarity with abomination.

They are not familiar with abomination, but abomination is familiar to them. After all, in the never-ending years of the undead, they had fought more than once, and they had fought more than one race.

Although none of these undead have very high intelligence, and most of them have no intelligence but only instinct. But after so many battles, those who survive can have some habits after all.

For example, when these haters see these Terran soldiers with weapons and shields, they always do not forget to hook their chains towards them.

And every time, the chain is always able to hook a person. After all, ghouls and skeletons are not as tall as a soldier, so these soldiers are obvious in this pile. Abomination knows this.

So when these soldiers had just killed some of the enemy and were ready to cheer. Their chains had hooked the soldiers, and they pulled them towards them, causing them to fall to the ground.

Then they began to let the ghouls gnaw on these soldiers. The chains were so thick that they couldn't break free. Therefore, as long as these soldiers are hooked by this chain, they will definitely have no chance to live.

Of course, there are some exceptions, but not much. And they also died.

Within a few hours of the entire battle, this army of more than 5,000 people was about to be wiped out. On the other hand, the enemy army, these undead, although they have also died a lot, they can still be resurrected.

Yes, the bones of these soldiers on the battlefield would be good undead warriors.

"Now you understand! The undead are not as simple as you think, and you have been told to give up these civilians a long time ago, you don't believe it. You even called your soldiers up to their deaths to protect them, but what do you do now? What have you done besides adding some fresh blood to the enemy?"

The Earl was a little angry, maybe he couldn't accept the strength of these undead, or maybe he couldn't accept these civilians walking with him, in short, his face was full of displeasure now.

"Shut up and let me think about it. To be honest, after living for so many years, Zhao Yulong has encountered such a situation for the first time.

Although he has not led the troops for a few years, he has fought a lot of battles in the past few years. Except deliberately, he has never lost. But now I actually lost, and I lost badly, very badly.

He didn't know how to accept this reality, and he didn't know how to face the relatives of these soldiers. Although many of them were originally slaves, Zhao Yulong believed that each of them had their own relatives.

And now they are dead, because of their own misjudgment. In other words, Zhao Yulong killed them, which made Zhao Yulong feel a little uncomfortable.

But compared to being uncomfortable, the most important thing now is how to deal with this army of the undead. Yes, now after a period of attrition, there are still thousands of them in this army, and five thousand have died on their own side.

Zhao Yulong can't let himself have another 5,000 people, this is absolutely not allowed. But the undead were already coming towards here, and they were so fast that no one could outrun unless they were on horseback.

But there are only a few horses, and there are not enough horses for everyone to ride. Now I want everyone to survive unless it's ......

Thinking of this, Zhao Yulong gritted his teeth, and his heart was horizontal, and he used all the soul power in his body.

Suddenly, the time around him slowed down instantly. Whether it was the raindrops falling from the sky, or the undead who were advancing, they all became slow, slow, so slow that it was almost negligible.

Yes, it was the first time that Zhao Yulong had used such a large-scale Eternal Moment. In fact, he had already planned to do so when he learned that Eternal Instant could slow down the time of all people or things that were less powerful than him.

But I didn't have a chance before, but now I finally have a chance. But when I cast it, I realized that it was so difficult, not that it slowed down everyone's time, but that it was very difficult to maintain this state.

Now the soul power in Zhao Yulong's body is constantly losing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and it looks like it will not be long before he will be exhausted. All Zhao Yulong knew that he had to speed up, and now he used the remaining part of his soul power in his hands and began to condense the fire element.

A few quarters of an hour later, it was seen that Zhao Yulong had finished casting the spell, and the huge flames smashed down towards the undead. This was the second time Zhao Yulong had used the Burning Sky Flame.

Although he had promised Meng Liang not to use this spell again, he had to use it now. Otherwise, there is no better way to face these undead.

Fortunately, this trick really works. I saw a burst of flames going down. All the undead were reduced to ashes in an instant, and the bones on the ground disappeared into the flames.

In this way, Zhao Yulong took away the eternity and showed a very tired look: "Isn't it good now? They are all refined by fire, but there is no need to worry about them resurrecting or something." ”

The Earl didn't react at this time, and in his memory, the undead were still marching in this direction just now. It's strange that only the light of the fire can be seen now.

But he was smart after all, and now he looked at the firelight, and then looked at Zhao Yulong. Yes, he saw Zhao Yulong's weakness: "To be honest, you are really strong. I don't know what you used to make them all burn, but it worked. Fire is really the best way to do it other than knock them out on the head. But I don't think even you can use it more than once! ”

"So what, at least they've been wiped out. Now let's go! I don't want to encounter such an army again, after returning to the Minglong fiefdom, we have to discuss how to deal with the undead, it is absolutely impossible to fight hard!"

"Yes, my Lord Highness, I am glad that you understand this. Hard fighting can only make us have fewer and fewer people and more and more enemies. But I think there's someone in our team who needs to be addressed. ”

"Who?" Looking at Karatok's face, Zhao Yulong knew that he was definitely not joking.

"Go and see there, and it seems to me that he must have contracted the plague. Obviously, you won't be merciful to such a person, after all, we don't have any potions that can save his life. ”

"There is no elixir, but I have elixir. You know? We in the East are much better than you in this regard, and your potions are very suitable for the battlefield although they absorb quickly. But your medicine is not strong enough to cure a serious disease. ”

Saying that, Zhao Yulong had already come to the side of the civilian: "How are you feeling now?"

"Your Highness, please give me death, I have contracted the plague, and it will definitely be contagious. Only when I die, my bones will not be transmitted to other people, and I don't want to cause trouble to everyone, so please kill me. ”

"No, you don't die, not just you, everyone doesn't have to die. I'm not going to let you die, so now tell me what you're not feeling and how you feel, and I'll be able to make you some medicine. ”

"No need, Your Highness the Lord, I'm just a pariah, I'm not qualified to waste potions, these should be left to the soldiers!" the civilian coughed a few times, and then looked at Zhao Yulong with tired eyes.

"It's an order, tell me now, what the hell is going on with you, I want to know it all. You should understand that this is not mercy, but a command, an order!

"Yes, Your Highness, if you really want to know, I can tell you, but it makes no sense, what can you do if you know it or not?"

"Don't worry about that, just tell me. Now Zhao Yulong is too lazy to talk nonsense with him, after all, it is important to hurry, and you shouldn't waste too much time on this matter at this time.

So Zhao Yulong didn't say anything else, but kept asking him how his symptoms were. In the East, as long as the symptoms are known, a similar cause can be found, and medicine is given.

So for the condition of this civilian, Zhao Yulong wanted to know. After all, he wanted to save not just this one civilian, but all those infected with the plague.

As long as you know how to heal this plague, you will be able to save many people. And at such a time, the more people you save, the fewer enemies you have.

All about saving as many people as possible is crucial to the whole war. So now, no matter what, Zhao Yulong has to ask him to tell the symptoms.

"Since Your Highness has asked for this, then I shall say it! I feel feverish, dizzy, and itchy teeth. I don't have any strength up and down. That's all, that's all I can feel, Your Highness. ”

"I understand, you can eat this first!" As he spoke, Zhao Yulong took out a pill from the ring and stuffed it into his mouth.

It is the pill of the ninth grade of the king's rank, the Hundred Medicine Pill, which is said to be able to cure all diseases. Zhao Yulong hasn't tried it, and he doesn't know if it's the case, but he just refined one as a practitioner on weekdays, and now he just uses it.

It's just that Zhao Yulong still can't grasp the condition of this civilian, in his opinion, where is the symptom of the plague, it is obviously a symptom of rabies.

Especially the feeling of itchy teeth, I remember that in the East, the first feeling before every person who suffers from this disease bites is this feeling.

But now Zhao Yulong doesn't dare to put the two together, after all, this kind of disease is nothing in the East, and there has been no major incident. The plague in the West is the life of millions of people, and it is not very credible to say that it is really the same disease.

It's just that Zhao Yulong still doesn't have a clue now, which makes him inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

But I just defeated the undead army, and now I won't encounter the undead army in a short time, and the next trip will be much easier.

Therefore, Zhao Yulong took this opportunity, sat on the horse and rested well, and made up for the soul power he used before.
