Chapter 289: Berserk Corpse Soldier (Part II)
Without Rex, Saleen felt a little unaccustomed. Although the barracks of the caravan were not bad, they were a hundred times different from the barracks carried by Rex.
Sixty carts were arranged in the middle of the camp in a circle. Outside the cart were tents, and outside the tents were sturdy makeshift barracks. The caravan did not have Rex's Ring of the HRE, and the barracks were all wooden and carried in carts. Outside the barracks, traps were improvised and wooden walls were laid.
The positions of the eight sentry posts are surrounded by large shields more than one meter high, and around this sentry post, Aini also arranged skeleton soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the skeleton soldiers is not good, but they will not get tired, they are alert, and they can quickly call the police when someone approaches.
Tracey could see that Saleen was not satisfied with the camp, and he whispered in Saleen's ear, "I'm awake at night and don't sleep." β
Only then did Salin rest assured, demons usually don't sleep for a few days and are also energetic, unlike humans, who are a little sluggish if they don't sleep for a day.
"Well, if there is a thief, be careful when you kill. Let Aini have materials available. Salin reminded Trith that Trith's long whip would shatter when it was rolled up, and what would she use as a berserk corpse soldier.
Among the enemies is a guy at the level of a sword master, and Salin doesn't dare to take it lightly, where he can let Aini help, he won't let Su do it. This corpse soldier is the most powerful thing for mages, and Aini himself controls thousands of corpse soldiers with ease. If there were intelligent zombies, it would be nice if Aini could control dozens of them.
Whether it is a regular army or a thief, when they attack at night, it is basically in the early hours of the morning. At this time, people are the least vigilant, and they are sleeping deeply, even if they wake up, their combat effectiveness is at the lowest.
Saleen's barracks were brought by himself, separated, and lived with Nania. They are all mages, and they basically have to meditate and practice at night, and there is nothing inconvenient.
The spirit of the mage is high, he needs less sleep, and when he catches up with the special period, he doesn't sleep for a few days and is similar to the demon, the same spirit. But there must be time for meditation.
After Nania meditated, she didn't go to sleep immediately, but pulled Salin to talk about magic.
Nania is very knowledgeable, and Saleen has nothing to teach her. Let's talk about the skills of fighting. Although Nania is a life mage, her mental power and magic strings are higher than those who specialize in combat.
"Salin, I'd like to learn your Water Stripe Shield, okay?" Nania had liked Sareen, but she thought she couldn't compete with Rex, so she put the idea out. She was also happy to be able to walk with Saleen this time. It had been a long time since she had learned a new skill, and she had the idea of Salin.
"This ......"
"Isn't it convenient?" Nania was a little disappointed, Sarin's water-patterned shield was strong, stronger than the ice-patterned armor. This kind of defensive magic is what the great mage needs most.
"It's not inconvenient, my Water Ripple Shield, if you want to achieve the same effect, you must at least advance to a seventh-level magician, and even if you are a seventh-level magician, you may not be able to do it instantaneously like me. Defensive magic cannot be instantaneous, and it is greatly reduced in battle. β
"Oh, that's nothing, I'm not a battle mage anyway, I can release an ice armor first. Then with the shield of the water pattern. β
Salin thought for a moment, the Ice Pattern Armor could not defend against skills such as poisonous mist, but the Water Pattern Shield could breathe, and all toxins were filtered by the water element. Life Mages don't fight on the front lines, and this skill is more effective than instantaneous magic.
"Alright, then you release a water shield for me first. β
Nania's face flushed a little, and she was a little shy by unleashing her best magic in front of Sarin. Still, she recited the incantation and began to prepare for the magic.
In half a minute, Nania's magic was finally ready, and in front of her, a translucent shield appeared out of thin air, this shield was condensed by the water element, and it was a little difficult to maintain the shape of the shield, and the water ripples fluctuated, as if it was about to shatter at any time.
This is just a faΓ§ade, in fact, the Water Pattern Shield is extremely defensive and low-level magic, and the worst problem is that it cannot be instantaneous except in the water. This magic that looked like it was about to shatter could even withstand an attack from a fourth-level magic. In half a minute, the enemy can prepare a high-level magic, and there is really no point in defending magic so slowly in battle.
Salin smiled and said, "Do it again." β
As he spoke, he unleashed the Cloud Technique, and a thick cloud of mist filled the barracks. Between him and Nania, it was completely transparent, there was no misty water vapor, and the water element was rich and abnormal for a while.
Nania slowly dispelled the shield in her hand and recited the incantation. In about fifteen seconds, another shield appeared. The formation of this shield was not only twice as fast, but also two-thirds larger.
Nania was about to answer when the sound of a magical alarm sounded outside. Salin said, "Leave him alone, let's continue." β
Nania nodded, maintaining the shield of water lines, and said, "If I perform a cleansing technique first to make the water element thicker, then the speed of releasing the shield of water patterns will be faster, right?"
"This is also a way, first cast the lowest level of water magic, so that the water element is richer than normal, and then you can cast the advanced water element magic faster. In fact, many high-level elemental magics, the starting spells are similar to low-level magic. Now, you chant the spell with me and try to change the magic that has been done. β
Salin said, slowly reciting the incantation. It was even a little strange to him, and water elemental magic rarely required the recitation of large spells for Salin.
Outside the camp, there was a fight, and Salin was unaware, still talking to Nania about the skills of the Water Shield.
Outside the barracks, Tracey stood in the shadows, already drawing his weapon. After signing a soul contract with Neris. He had given up on his intention of restoring Neris to his gender, and it was not bad to use a human female body, not to mention that Neris had already allowed them to return to their demonic form in battle.
The ultimate transfiguration is so good, Tris has met quite a few people, including Byrne, and she only knows that he is a demon by guessing. If it was just by eyesight or perception, a ninth-level magician would not be able to tell his identity.
The sound of arrows bursting through the air rang out around the camp, hundreds of crossbows were fired, the people in the camp were awakened, the soldiers of the caravan were armoured, and the slaves took out their large shields. Block the perimeter.
This large shield is three-layered, one layer of skin, one layer of wood, and one layer of metal. Small alchemy crossbows also need to be shot through at close range.
In this way, the thieves couldn't hurt the people in the camp at all, and after a few rounds, the thieves began to shoot. But both Shaman and Aini's own soldiers were very good at martial arts, and they used their long swords to dispel the feathered arrows that fell from above, and even had the strength to protect the shield-holding slaves.
The servants of the two caravans were not alarmed, and with their crossbows in their hands, they quietly waited for the enemy to storm the camp. The range of the repeater is about the same as that of the hunting bow, but within ten meters, the lethality is still not small. The rate of fire is also fast, making it more effective against thieves who don't have iron armor.
Aini had already calmly gotten up, commanded the skeleton soldiers, and fought out of the camp in the dark. These skeletons have been transformed by him, and they have all become black. In fact, it is to use magic to render the white bones, but unfortunately the eyes of the undead are full of soul fire, and they cannot be completely invisible.
Of course, Aini's methods will not be so simple, and more than a dozen small spiders have also secretly crawled out, and these spiders are Aini's latest summoned creatures.
The undead spider was much faster than the skeleton soldiers, and the eight huge legs flew fast and rushed in front of the thieves. The undead spiders' attack power was not very high, and they quickly spat out spider silk and tied up more than thirty thieves. The silk was poisonous, and the bound thieves struggled a few times before they stopped.
Immediately, several swordsman-level thieves rushed up and slashed at the undead spiders. But they don't have magic weapons, and ordinary physical damage is absolutely bearable for the undead. The undead spider stiffened and continued to spit out spider silk.
By the time the dozen or so undead spiders were hacked to death, the thieves who were ready to charge had already lost more than three hundred people. The skeletons from behind rushed up, dragging the bodies of the thieves one by one and running towards the camp.
The swordsman wanted to chase after him, but he was **** back by the arrows in the camp.
The skeletons retrieved more than a hundred corpses, and Ani happily began to create corpses under the protection of his shield. It would be nice for these skeletons to fight the thieves and kill a dozen thieves at most, but they simply robbed the corpses. Angry that the thieves outside went crazy.
One by one, the corpses were created, the skeletons rushed out again, and more than eighty corpses were retrieved, and Aini made up two hundred corpses, and the thieves outside couldn't help it. Originally, they wanted to harass first, shoot until dawn, and then attack head-on. This time, the thieves gathered more than 2,000 people, and there were mercenaries from the Principality of the Rhine mixed in, and the combat effectiveness was much higher.
In the eyes of the thieves, the bows and crossbows were ready, and they could completely peel off the skin of the caravan. Who knew that the enemy used skeleton soldiers, and this deployment was disrupted. The enemy's necromancer lost nearly a hundred skeleton soldiers, as well as a dozen three-pole undead spiders, but killed more than three hundred thieves, so slowly consumed, the enemy's necromancer can summon a batch of skeletons.
Skeletons are the least valuable undead, and thieves can't afford to spend them.
After a commotion, the thieves began to organise an attack. A hundred thieves dressed in heavy armor, lined up in neat formation, raised their shields, and began to charge. The camp only has wooden walls, which can be cut through with a short axe.
In the camp, the elemental fluctuations became strong, and Ani secretly laughed, and the great mage beside Shaman couldn't help but make a move. The charge of a hundred heavy infantry was quite shocking, and if they were rushed into the camp, even with the help of corpse soldiers, they would cause a large number of casualties.
These thieves are stupid enough, knowing that there are great magicians here, but they don't organize a heavy cavalry charge. Although the defense of the heavy infantry is better, the speed is slow, and the distance of a hundred meters is enough for a great mage to prepare a group attack magic.
"Violent Stone Lance!" the sharmon's magician roared, and Ani was stunned. When you're fighting, you're still in the mood to yell the name of the magic? Just let him be in the limelight, the enemy's heavy infantry will not be too much, take care of these heavy infantry, and the rest of the thieves will depend on my berserk corpse soldiers!
