Chapter 172: Spirit Beasts (I)

The Headless Horseman retreated out of range of Saleen and Aini's magical attacks. The black golem in the form of a snowman begins to attack the Ice Castle.

The snowman moves much slower than the Headless Horseman, even if it is a little more advanced, but it is about the same as a human swordsman apprentice.

Saleen was puzzled by this phenomenon, the black golems were not slow at the beginning, and the huge castle walls could jump on them. The snowman in front of him seems to be too weak.

Chirping......

A snowman's nails tried to dig into the castle's ice wall, but it was as if he had reached into the boiling water, and let out a scream of pain.

More than 100 pirates faced more than 10,000 black puppets. Black golems are not afraid of dying, their existence is pain, in contrast, no matter how fierce the pirates are, they are not willing to die worthless.

More than a hundred pirates, except for a dozen Saleen selected to continue to follow him, the rest were divided into ten squads to guard the wall on all sides. The castle has a partition wall, a horse path, and some pirates can still ride skeleton horses to move around the wall. The head of the city, which is more than two meters wide, is not easy for pirates to control if it is an ordinary war horse. These skeleton horses are so steady, even if they are terrible riding. It won't get out of control.

As soon as the snowman touches the walls of the ice castle, the magic patterns in the walls come into play, flashing with magical light and a trace of life force, knocking the snowman back. Seeing this, the pirates laughed wildly. These puppets are numerous, but they don't cause much psychological pressure on the pirates.

The pirates were accustomed to fighting under the command of a captain, and rarely flinched as long as the captain was around. This habit makes it difficult for pirates to break down, even in the face of spooky black golems.

Saleen watched from the city, he didn't want to waste his precious magic strings on these low-level golems, and he didn't even want to use up the scroll for these low-level golems. Salin always carried a large number of scrolls with him, but he knew that no matter how many scrolls he had, he would run out one day.

There are a huge number of scrolls on Shreg Island, but they have been accumulated over the course of a thousand years. In the future, you will face more battles, and if you rely on scrolls for all battles, those stocks will be quickly depleted. If it was only a local battle, Saleen would be able to dominate one side by relying on the scroll, and just a struggle with the Holy See would be a war on the entire continent.

After the snowmen were unable to approach the walls many times, hundreds of snowmen finally pounced on the walls in the west, piling up their bodies underneath. The snowmen who swooped down on the city walls soon melted into one, unable to move again, and the imprisoned souls in their bodies were shattered.

Then more than a hundred snowmen learned from the puppet in front of them and pounced, probably sacrificing less than a thousand snowmen. Outside the west wall, a long slope has appeared, and all the snowmen have gathered to the west and climbed up the slope.

Aini and Daniel stared at the Headless Horsemann in the distance, oblivious to the snowmen.

The Headless Horseman's horses are also puppets themselves, and unlike human horses, these horses are able to accelerate suddenly, just like undead creatures. They hovered three hundred meters away, exactly the distance at which the steel crossbow could not attack. The Headless Horseman can charge within a few tens of meters and reach maximum speed after a hundred meters. The distance of three hundred meters was enough for them to gather strength and jump over the city walls.

The remaining more than two hundred headless horsemen are the threat, and the pirates have the strength of swordsmen after all, and they are considered a strong army. If they can't deal with even the weakest black puppet, there's no point in staying.

Ani and Salin already have the ability to fly and not be trapped by these black golems, and he built this ice castle to preserve the pirates' strength in this battle.

Saleen and Ani were thinking about one thing at the same time, it seemed that the people of the Holy See had left the Swamp of Chaos, otherwise how could the Dark Mage use this place as a lair? The contract trap of the three kings is difficult to activate, and if you want to subdue these three guys, you need to find another way.

However, the two of them also had a glimmer of hope that if there was still something left in the ruins of the Second Dynasty that made the Three Kings happy, there was more than one trap in the contract.

Armed with spears, the pirates countered the snowmen's attacks with four-meter-long weapons at the head of the city. The snowman attacks with sharp nails and climbs up the slope, which has no advantage at all.

The pirates are also able to do some coordination with simple training. Three spears can easily kill a snowman. The slope is not wide, and about twenty pirates can hold it.

When the head of the spear is simply refined, it pierces the snowman's body, and black and purple blood always bursts out. The slain snowman quickly collapses, turning back into a pile of snow that is pouring down the slopes.

The pirates could take turns resting and divide into three groups, leaving four teams to monitor the other three directions. In this way, the pirates used sixty men to hold a wall and contain the snowman's attack.

"My lord, why don't you let me go out and solve these things. Zola saw that the pirates could easily kill the snowman, and felt like a waste of time to stay here. Although those headless horsemen were stronger, he was not afraid. It's just the level of a swordsman, and after destroying the snowman, those headless horsemen just have a little speed advantage.

"What's the hurry, these black puppets are shoddy, you think this is the power of the black magician? They weren't there to ambush us at all, they were only bumped into occasionally. A real black puppet, such a low wall can't stop it at all. However, if you want to try it, you can try it on a skeleton warhorse. Seeing that Zola was eager to try, Salin decided to teach the fellow a lesson.

"Good!" Zola agreed. He pulled over a skeleton horse, jumped on horseback, and rushed down the slope in a puff of smoke.

He drew the long sword tear stain in his hand, and he didn't see any wonderful swordsmanship he performed, just slashed left and right, as long as the snowman met his long sword, before the long sword could cut into his body, it quickly collapsed. Zola encountered almost no resistance among the snowmen, and in the process of rushing down the slope, he killed more than 100 snowmen.

"Huh?" Salin was also a little surprised when he saw this, the tears of the long sword seemed to have a special restraint on the black puppet. Even if those snowmen are of a very low level, they will not be able to be defeated by ordinary weapons.

Aini shrugged, smug in her heart. The first time he used his hard work to alchemy, he created such a powerful weapon. There are many weapons made by Salin, but all of them are garbage.

Immediately, twenty headless horsemen urged their horses and pounced on Zola. Zola saw it from a distance, turned his horse's head, and fled back to the castle of ice.

"Poof......" Salin couldn't hold back his laughter and laughed out loud. Zola wasn't stupid, and he knew that one person couldn't deal with too many Headless Horsemen. The main thing is that he has poor control over the skeleton warhorse, and he has no advantage in speed, outside the city. will fall into a siege.

The headless horsemen chased after them at a distance of two hundred meters from the city wall and stopped their horses. This place is already capable of being attacked by magic, and if you go further, even a steel crossbow can hurt them.

"Looks like you really want to trap us. Seeing this, Saleen began to communicate with Aini.

"That is, they have more people in the back, and they are coming. Ani calculated in her heart and continued: "In this case, we don't have to wait, the snowman has already been half wiped out, and we can take the initiative." ”

"You might not be able to outrun the Headless Horsemann. Can your undead still be used?"

"I'm waiting for ten minutes. Aini shook his head, his plant undead wanted to continue fighting, and indeed needed to rest. Plant undead also have a weakness, which is that they are slow to digest souls.

"Okay, everyone prepare, Daniel, you lead the way in front, and Aini and I will set off in fifteen minutes according to the plan. "Saleen has already tested the true intention of the black mage, he used the ice castle to kill half of the enemy, and there was no loss in the battle, but to continue to defend it, if the abomination dragon beast really came, this castle would be able to last less than a minute.

There are many types of black mages, the number of black golems is huge, they don't care about losses, and the number of abomination dragons is scarce, but they can be used to attack cities. The Headless Horseman has strong combat effectiveness and speed advantages, which is conducive to field combat. In addition, there are more than a dozen soul golems made by dark magicians, all of which are suitable for various special terrains and weather.

It is unrealistic to want to fight the black mage with simple fortifications, and the only way is to smash the yellow dragon and kill the black mage.

A few years ago, the black mages were in trouble in Phoenix, and Qin Yin and Phoenix's army exterminated many black mages and puppets, but did not kill a single black mage. It can be seen that the Dark Mage is a very cunning fellow, but this time, Saleen is going to attack the Black Mage's lair and catch one or two of the Black Mage and go back for interrogation.

Originally, Saleen built a city in the north, built a harbor, and coerced and lured the small nobles of Phoenix, and soon it was able to develop. But these dark mages were stuck in the swamp of chaos, cutting off his path to Skocea. In this way, Shenlin Town will become a front line, and it will not have the expected effect.

Don't destroy these dark mages. Instead, the town of Deep Forest has become a burden. Saleen didn't have too many soldiers, and it was impossible for him to expand the city in Deep Forest and fight the dark mages for a long time.

Zola rushed back to the city, and when he saw that the headless horsemen were within range of the attack, he withdrew his sword and said, "Your Excellency, you see, they are trying to trap us. ”

Although Zola was a court swordsmanship teacher, he still had some knowledge of the art of war. The intentions of these black puppets and headless horsemen were too obvious, how could he not see it. He took the initiative to ask for an attack, just to find out about this. If the Headless Horseman is desperately pursuing, it means that the enemy's reinforcements are still far away, and these Headless Horsemen are not in a hurry to kill the living forces on their side now, indicating that the enemy's more powerful attack is about to come.

"Well, we'll leave in twenty minutes, and you don't get too far away from me. Salin agreed, and his opinion of Zola changed a little. This man wasn't as casual as he seemed, at least when it came to fighting, he was clearer than most. It seemed that Zola could lead the army to fight in the future, and Salin secretly added another point to Zola in his heart.
