Chapter 21: The Scourge of the Undead (Part II)

The two armies faced each other, looking at the dense undead creatures under the city wall, the morale of the human warriors was three points lower for no reason, but fortunately, they were able to mix in the current elite soldiers in the Mowen Kingdom in the border wilderness, and the spirit of these soldiers was tenacious enough, knowing that no matter how desperate the scene was, only the moment when they let go of their resistance was the moment when the real despair came, so no soldier made a weak move to lay down his arms and run away.

Of course, the undead don't care about the fact that the human side is not overwhelmed by their own momentum, after all, their low-capacity brains have no place to think about these subtle feelings, and the only thing they want to do now is to follow the instinct of hatred for living beings and the drive of the strong, and wipe out all the breath of life in Tarsie Town.

In such a battle, just as the human side does not allow first-level warriors to stand on the city wall to participate in the battle, the white bone skeleton that appeared as the main force of the undead side in the last attack can only be automatically lowered by one level this time, and from here it is reduced to cannon fodder, the main role is to consume the physical strength of human warriors and as a stone substitute for long-range harassment attacks thrown by the undead powerhouse.

Even with the strengthening of the Death Canopy, the attacks of these first-level undead will not play a role in the soldiers who occupy the geographical position and calmly respond to the battle, not to mention that there are enough reserve fighters to rotate, and the effect of the skeletons consuming the physical strength of the warriors is almost none, but the skeleton cannons thrown out by those intermediary undead have unexpectedly played a big role.

Although due to just a casual throw, these' The attack power of the flying skeleton is not much, but the harassment ability is extremely strong, a sudden undead who fell from the sky suddenly fell from the sky, and suddenly fell in front of the warriors who were concentrating on fighting with the undead, and the momentary stunned often made these warriors have an extra bloody wound on their bodies, even if the commanders later specially arranged some warriors with spears to solve these skeletons, but its visual obscuration effect brought by its roughly the same size as people is also a sharp weapon that causes the soldiers to be injured.

The human side was affected by this undead throw, and those middle-level undead with not low intelligence saw it in their eyes, and the throwing action that was originally still reckless instantly took on a bit of deliberateness, not to mention the impact on the human warriors due to the increase in the frequency of attacks, and those skeletons that flew down into Tarsi Town because they threw too hard were a big trouble.

Although in the face of these undead who fell from the sky, except for some townspeople who were killed because of panic at the beginning, those skeletons that fell from the sky were killed in time by the first-level soldiers who stayed in the town and waited, but in this way, in order to prevent the townspeople from being killed by the undead, nearly half of the first-level soldiers had to stay in the town, so that the preparations for the stone and wood were immediately slowed down.

Fortunately, due to the city wall, the undead outside the town could not see the scene inside the town, and they didn't know what kind of trouble those undead who had thrown their heads would cause to humans, and they still targeted the warriors on the city wall as always, and the skeletons who accidentally overpowered and fell into the town were still a few after all.

Near the city wall, there was a bang, and a skeleton warrior with a rusty sword fell from the sky, smashing a wooden cart full of boulders that had just been excavated from the mountain, and the slightly injured Mr. Undead was also a great threat to the first-class warriors transporting the boulders, if they didn't kill this uninvited guest as soon as possible, I'm afraid no warrior would dare to continue transporting the boulders in the current situation of the great enemy.

Without the geographical advantage, it is undoubtedly quite unrealistic to want to eliminate a second-level undead with a team of first-level soldiers, even if this undead is injured in the leg, and the pace that is not agile enough is getting sluggish and sluggish!

Just as the warriors on the side hesitated, wanting to attack the skeleton warriors in a group, a blonde warrior who looked a little short stepped forward, and after grabbing the flaw of a skeleton warrior due to a fall on his leg bone, a sword pierced the skeleton warrior's hollow eye socket, turning this second-level undead into a pile of useless white bones.

"Hurry up, everyone on the city wall is still waiting for our stones, even if they don't have the ability to stand directly on the city wall to fight, we must provide them with assistance as much as possible. ”

The first soldier picked up a boulder on his back, looked back at the many first-class soldiers who were still stunned by the sudden reversal of the situation, Mino said quite calmly, and then carried the boulder to the city wall with difficulty.

The emotions that could not be calmed down by Mino's battle were forcibly suppressed, and a boulder was lifted, and the warriors followed in Mino's footsteps and slowly walked towards the city wall.

Just like Mino said, it is a shame for a warrior to be unable to participate in the war because of lack of strength, if you can't even do the unskilled physical work of carrying boulders, what is the difference between yourself and those ordinary people hiding at home in the town, they don't want to lose the dignity of warriors in vain, so other thoughts have to be left behind now, and completing their tasks is the most important thing now.

Climbing the city wall, risking being shot by a bone arrow, pushing the boulder off the city wall, destroying the 'human' ladder built by the two white bone skeletons, Mino quickly crouched down and hid behind the battlement, panting, looking at a companion who was killed by a bone arrow not far away, gritted his teeth, Minoan stood up again, and pushed the boulder that the warrior failed to reach the end of the city from the city wall.

Walking quickly down the wall with the warrior's corpse on his back, looking at the miserable white bone arrow pierced into his chest, and then at the armored backs of the warriors who insisted on fighting the undead who had climbed the wall, Mino understood for the first time the true meaning of the phrase equipment is the embodiment of a warrior's combat power.

If it weren't for that sturdy iron armor, these second-level warriors would probably not have been much better in the face of the shots of the third-level undead skeleton archers, but with this equipment, as long as they pay attention to dodging and not being hit, these deadly bone arrows will no longer be so deadly, and it is precisely because of this that the defense line of Tassi Town has been able to hold on to this day on the battlefield full of arrows.

However, even if every soldier who participated in the battle was wearing strong armor, it did not mean that the lives of the soldiers on the city wall must be safe and worry-free, because the bone arrow that can casually take the life of a first-class soldier is just a small supporting role on today's battlefield.

With the gradual depletion of the army of the undead, a strong undead who was squeezed by their compatriots and did not move well finally had a place to use, and one by one the powerful undead of level four or five jumped directly onto the city wall with their superb bouncing ability.

Even if each of them has a human powerhouse who is waiting for him to kill, but due to the scarcity of human powerhouses, there is always a place to worry, and every time this situation occurs, it means that several warriors will be sacrificed.

Under the dark sky, the seemingly boundless sea of undead set off white waves again and again, slapping fiercely on the gray-brown city walls of Tarsi Town, as if slapping on the beach, those bone arrows flying everywhere were as disorderly and dense as broken water, and those undead powerhouses who kept rising from the ground and rushing up the city walls were like fierce sharks, each bite could tear off a piece of bloody flesh, whether they could get out of the beach or not.

As for the human warriors who stood on the walls, they were like grains of sand trying to keep themselves dry at high tide, and despite the fact that their companions were 'wet' every time they were slapped, they persisted in their efforts in vain.

This is the current situation on the battlefield in Tassi, although it seems quite promising now, explaining that as more and more sharks begin to bite on the beach, the sand grains on this small beach in Tassi will only be submerged in this sea of undead faster and faster, and at that time, I am afraid that all the hope and efforts that have been made to this thing will seem extremely ridiculous.

Compared to today's undead attack, the undead army that almost slaughtered Tarsie Town a few days ago is as ridiculous as a child's house, and perhaps only with such a terrifying offensive can it be called an undead disaster.

In the face of this kind of natural disaster that can be compared to a flood and landslide, which is irresistible by manpower, I am afraid that only a legendary powerhouse who has surpassed the existence of human beings has the ability to turn the tide, no wonder those people are so contemptuous of people below the seventh level.

Carrying boulders from time to time, Mino observed the situation on the battlefield while recalling those memories that he would probably never forget, and he suddenly realized that maybe those people were not wrong, and even the original intention was actually good, and the reason why he hated them so much was only because the illusion that he had been insisting on covering up was broken, and in the end, the result that was unacceptable to him.

It seems that he is not afraid of death at all, even if he behaves calmly and calmly on weekdays, but now when he faces death directly, all kinds of nonsense thoughts come out of his head uncontrollably.

But what's the use of thinking about it now, all the consequences have been cast, and the oath has been made to my mother, can I regret it when I am about to die here?

Wiping the sweat from his head, Mino shook his head with a wry smile, shook off the boring distractions in his mind, and then patted the dust on his body, and was ready to start the next transportation.

"Wait, is this Mr. Mino, please? There's a priest over there in the treatment room who wants to see you. ”

Just as Mino's cart was pulling the cart towards the quarry, suddenly a rather anxious warrior stopped Mino, and when he heard the two key words of the treatment room and the priesthood, Mino's head was immediately blindfolded, and he threw away the cart and hurried towards the treatment room set up on the edge of the city wall.
