Chapter 75: War Drums (6)
The noise from the war was incessant, and there was even an exaggerated explosion in the adventurer's barracks not far away. However, as the commander-in-chief, Horst's gaze remained calm, not only carefully observing the entire battlefield with his eyes, but also using all the senses of his body to feel it all.
After all, every decision determines the life and death of many of the fighters under him.
The Sky Turtle, a huge magical beast like a floating island in the sky, slowly drove towards this side, and something was faintly established on its huge wide turtle back. That kind of thing that is obviously some kind of killing weapon will definitely take the lives of many soldiers on his side in the future.
Thinking of this, Horst almost subconsciously gritted his teeth fiercely. All the warriors are their own brothers, and they are all family members who stand on the same front against the demons.
So almost with a faint roar, he gave the order to the court magicians who were preparing tactical magic in the troops behind him.
"Launch!" Launch the strategic magic that the court magicians behind him had been preparing for a long time.
[Seventh-Order Magic: Thunder Dragon Breaking Roar].
A huge blue ball of light lit up on the vast magic array, and the next moment, it turned into a pillar of lightning light tens of meters thick, illuminating the first Demonic Beast Sky Turtle and bursting out. With an aura that seemed to tear the sky apart, there was a faint hint of the roar of a flying dragon, and as long as it was a living thing, it had an instinctive trembling feeling.
However, it was not for nothing that the Sky Turtles kept moving forward in the shape of a pyramid, waving their massive fins, flipped their bodies ninety degrees in the sky, and prepared for the onslaught with their hard backs and folded shells. Also stacked in a pyramid shape is the best way to disperse the impact.
A figure jumped from the head of the first Sky Turtle and floated gently in the sky, silently extending its right hand to the beam of lightning that came from it.
It was a demon king wrapped in dark blue magic.
The two objects intersected, like the dull roar of two giant bells resounding through the sky. The Demon King was pushed by the terrifying impact and quickly retreated, slamming into the Sky Turtle that had already prepared a defensive posture in the rear. The seventh-order magic technique that focused on the attack pushed the total number of six sky turtles weighing thousands of tons and the demon king backwards, and the one that bore the brunt of the receiving demon king even shattered the shell, and the blue electric light shot directly into its body, burning all the body tissues, and it seemed that it could not survive.
But that's about it.
The electric light gradually dissipated, and the Demon King, who did not see any flesh and skin injuries, came out of the bloody blood hole of the Sky Turtle and tore off the cuffs that had been burned, and at the same time, the Sky Turtle that had been pierced through the body also fell from the sky. A deep crater was smashed into the ground, but its hard body was not shattered by the gravitational potential, which can be imagined how hard its body was, and how powerful the strategic magic was.
The Sky Turtles, who had endured the impact, slowly returned to their original posture, and a rustling sound came from the carapace of the Sky Turtle, and the eight-legged mechanical spider-shaped demonic beast came out of the five holes where the Sky Turtle was hiding, carrying the equipment that had been prepared to be disassembled before, and was busy and orderly fixed on the back of the Sky Turtle.
Demon mechanical species, Black Iron Beast.
Below, on the corpse of a huge sky turtle that had died. On the surface of the pale, bloodless skin, white skeletal hand bones pierced through the skin. Then a large number of skeletons tore open the king's skin from different places, and emerged from its inner body, which was a creepy surreal scene.
Demon undead species, [Skeleton Army].
There's no way to know where it's coming from, or when it's going to stop. They follow the scent of the living, with an infinite thirst for flesh and blood. They take the parts that make up their bodies from the bones of the dead, hoping to pull other living creatures into the boundless darkness of death in which they were before.
The skeleton of the Sky Turtle is so large that the number of skeletons has been increasing rapidly. There were not only skeleton infantry armed with white bone clubs as weapons, but even tall white bone horses with sharpened bone spears in their hands, turning around and attacking this way.
From afar, I smelled the fishy smell that did not belong to the living. Because they are white bones, they don't care if they are attacked, and ordinary strategies against cavalry have no effect on them at all.
So instead of letting the warriors deal with the onslaught from the skeleton army first, Horst roared and ordered the magicians who followed to come forward and intersperse with the swordsmen who were on standby, opening the barrier of magic to the sky.
Although the distance was still relatively far, he could see with his precise eyesight that on the back of the Sky Turtle, the eight-legged spider-shaped demonic beasts had already assembled the siege equipment. This tool, which must have been transformed by the hands of the dwarves, is not to be underestimated.
There was no need for sticking, and when the two pieces of instruments were spliced together, the black iron beast pounced on it and fixed it with its own body. Then there was the sound of barbed wire, and the crossbow arrows gathered from afar towards the Terran army's camp, and at the same time, the black iron beasts attached to it flashed with bloodthirsty scarlet light in their pupils in the middle of their bodies.
Before they were born porters and carpenters, they were insanely violent monsters, creatures born with the genes to kill.
"[Second Order Magic.Scale Tortoise Shell], activate!" the magicians shouted in unison.
Although it is only a second-order magic, it is not enough to deal with a crossbow arrow with huge kinetic energy, but it is a standard defensive magic prescribed by the army. It is precisely because of its ability to "splic" each other.
The hexagonal crystal magic barrier spreads out in the hands of the magicians, because of the right distance, many regular hexagons can be connected together, so that the impact can be borne by all the barriers, which can be said to be the best choice for this kind of crossbow arrow.
The sound of a raindrop, the sound of a crossbow bolt striking the magic barrier. Of course, there are also people who are not so lucky, and they are pierced on the spot by a crossbow arrow that happens to hit the gap in the slot.
The black iron beasts attached to the crossbow arrows galloped down, and the swordsmen on standby drew their swords and roared forward. In front of the camp gate, the orc troops took the lead, and the elven warriors followed, and one after another feathered arrows were shot into the sky. While it doesn't do any real damage to the skeletons, it's a little bit of a slowdown.
Without the need for horses, the orcs with extremely amazing running speed entered the battle state one after another, and the orc marshal Gagaren, who was the leader, moved the muscles and bones at his wrist, and in the moment when the two armies staggered, he smashed the skeleton knight who stabbed at him with a single punch.
As a result, a full-scale conflict broke out.
