Chapter 044: A Strange Victory
The advancing army crossed the Great Plains north of the Kara Mountains and came to a hilly area. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info their purpose is to go on an expedition, as long as they don't see ghosts, they will keep going. Fortunately, countless battles have proven the integrity of the King of Ghost Corpses, and no matter where the human army marches, the number of ghost corpses that come out to meet them is the same.
This valley area used to be a jungle, a large jungle, all of which belonged to the boundary of Middle-earth, and the map that passed through the jungle and entered the dragon's head was the boundary of the northern frontier, but now, there was not a single tree left, and the perennial conquest was only scorched black.
Dymos rode the not-so-obedient wolf and stopped the army on a narrow road that was about to enter.
With a wave of his hand, two spies riding demon wolves quickly rushed forward, rushing up the high slopes on both sides, and they saw the army of ghost corpses, in a large valley, from a distance, the army of ghost corpses seemed to have not woken up, as if nothing had happened.
The two men came back and told the news to Dimos, who ordered the army to move on, since they were in that valley, they could get close to that valley from this road, and then they could directly kill these ghosts.
It didn't take long for the army to stop again. Demos gestured for fifty demon wolf cavalry and three hundred infantry to take the lead. If the ghosts really don't realize the danger yet, these people alone can wipe out the ghosts.
This was the first time Colin had fought against the Ghost Corpse Army, and they had already killed the Ghost Corpse in their time at the Castle before that, and had learned about the various abilities of the Ghost Corpse and how to kill it in one hit.
Fortunately, since his team was not large and all of them were newcomers who had not participated in the war, Dimos did not let them join the charge.
After the charging team was ready, Demos asked a hundred demon wolf cavalry to each lead a hundred men to ambush from both sides.
In the end, he will take the remaining fifty demon wolf cavalry and less than three hundred infantry, and follow closely behind, just in case.
"For our own sake, show your courage and kill these bitch-raised monsters. That's all Demos said.
Gradually, the first army of stormtroopers emerged from the valley, and then the horn of the charge sounded.
"Buzz~" The morale-boosting horn reverberate, and then the demon wolf cavalry took the lead and rushed down the hillside frantically, followed by the infantry behind, letting out a bloody roar.
The army of ghosts and corpses does not have many military tents, they sometimes only build an ugly large military tent, and they don't know what to do with it, and perhaps some of them deliberately imitate humans because of the evolution of intelligence.
Now, of course, they saw the army attacking by humans, and one by one the voices were so uneven, and the movements began to scatter and flee in all directions, they did not respond, but swarmed into the tent, and the huge tent collapsed directly in a few clicks.
The wolf cavalry approached and signaled the team to stop, and did not attack directly. This time the ghost corpse army made them feel strange, the ghost corpses, the vast majority of creatures without intelligence, would not run away at all, unless they were ordered to retreat.
And so many people hid in the tent against the mountain wall, obviously there was a cave inside, and now that the tent had collapsed, it was impossible to figure out the situation inside, and no matter who led the army, it was impossible to rush in.
"What now?" a demon wolf cavalry asked his regimental commander.
"Wait. As soon as the guy finished speaking, there was a movement in the suddenly collapsed tent, and he immediately commanded the army to retreat a little.
The ghost knows what will suddenly appear, some distance away, in case the ghost warriors suddenly run out, they can run for their lives.
It was as if something was breaking free from the tent, and it continued to writhe crookedly, until finally the first guy showed his head, a dead gray wolf corpse with all his wolf fur gone, and the wound on his abdomen was shocking.
There was a ghost corpse sitting on top of the wolf corpse, and it was also crooked and didn't know how to control it, so he finally walked out, and the wolf corpse was directly tripped by a big stone and fell to the ground. Then the second, the third, and more wolf corpses slowly walked out.
The human army was stunned, and their expressions were extremely strange. The King of the Ghost Corpse said that he had trained a wolf corpse cavalry, could it be like this? If that were the case, they would have won.
The legion commander continued to let the army retreat slowly, watching that about a hundred wolf corpses appeared, they were also slowly advancing under the control of the ghost corpse, but they were very interested in the enemy in front of them, they opened their mouths, and looked very fierce, but under the control of the ghost corpse, they even sometimes bumped into their partners, and then tore up because of anger.
The regimental commander no longer knew what to say, and he raised his hand to stop the retreat of the team. Originally, he was not very obedient when he rode the demon wolf on his side, but he didn't expect the wolf corpse of the other party to be even more disobedient.
"Attack!" the regimental commander commanded, drew his long sword, and controlled the demon wolf with one hand to rush over first.
"Click. The head of the regiment cut off the head of a demon wolf sticking out with a sword, and then his arm was quickly raised, and with the help of the force of the impact, he cut the ghost corpse on it in half.
"Kill!"
The fragility of the wolf corpse cavalry greatly boosted the morale of this charging team, and even the infantry soldiers even threw their shields on the ground.
It's not always such good luck, and killing one more ghost corpse is their merit. It is difficult for the expeditionary force to accumulate enough merit to leave the Kara Mountains, but to accumulate more merit can eat more delicious food than others, or better weapons, enjoy beautiful women, and the right to become an officer, and most importantly, be able to recover from their injuries as long as they have a breath.
Seeing that the army of ghosts was so vulnerable, Demos raised his hand and called Colin to his side.
"Your legion is the worst team, and you're lucky enough to take your men and kill all the ghosts. ”
Colin glanced at the battlefield ahead, nodded, and then gestured to his team and rushed down the high slope.
By the time they rushed down, the wolf corpse cavalry was almost dead, and even the corpse tent had been burned to ashes.
However, when the flames burned out, a wide cave was revealed, and all sorts of ugly and filthy ghosts rushed out of the cave, and they had no morale, and no matter how many ghosts died, it didn't matter to them. They have only a lust for blood and human flesh.
"Poof!" Colin pounced his sword from the open mouth to his ghost corpse's mouth, although it was the first time he had experienced the ghost war, Colin was a warrior by nature, without the slightest nervousness or fear. After killing the ghost, seeing that Bill was in danger, he made another sprint and killed the ghost corpse that pounced on Bill's back.
"We have the advantage, but you have to be careful. Colin reminded.
"It's my first time, so I'm a little inexperienced, be careful," Bill explained, reminding Colin of the danger.
A ghost corpse with a broken weapon quickly rushed towards Colin, this ghost was faster, and learned to dodge human attacks. A foul sound came out of his mouth, and he came to Colin's side at once.
"When. Colin blocked the opponent's weapon, but the speed of this ghost corpse's attack was faster, although there was no discipline, but this speed could cause a lot of damage to people.
"When!" Colin was a little angry with the clash of weapons again. The blow cut the opponent's rusty broken sword in half, and then kicked it to the ground with one kick, and before the opponent could get up, a sword was inserted into the opponent's stomach, and then slashed forward from the stomach, cutting the head of the ghost corpse in half.
Fortunately, there are not many such ghost corpses that have evolved, and soon, no more ghost corpses rush out of the cave. The battle ended when the last of the ghost corpses was killed by an arrow from Dimoth.
Demos was so experienced that he didn't even need to count to know that there weren't a thousand ghost corpses involved in this battle at all.
"Don't let your guard down, you, lead the team to defend the hole. Timos commanded on horseback.
But suddenly, a man appeared from the cave riding a wolf corpse, and everyone surrounded him but did not dare to attack, and not only that, but gradually retreated to make way for this guy.
"Demos: Yes, I saw you from afar last time. You're doing well. ”
"What tricks do you want to play, the traitor of humanity and the king of ghosts?"
"The Corpse King doesn't care about this kind of battle, I'm in charge of this battle. It seems that our training is still very poor, so I think the next battle is going on tomorrow, and you can go back and rest first, or you can rest here. ”
"I think I should rush into the cave right now and take you all out. ”
"Go ahead, if you have the courage. The man rode to the side on the wolf corpse and made way for Dimos.
"You'll see tomorrow. Demos was not reckless, turned his horse's head, and led the people away from the battlefield covered in black blood. Since there is a battle tomorrow, of course Dimos does not want to spend the night here, although it is already evening, and some of the wounded soldiers also need to be treated, of course, no one is seriously injured, just four dead waste.
