Chapter 38
The elixir of courage is not a simple elixir that can make people bloodthirsty and warlike, but human instinct is still there.
In the face of a terrifying thing like a skeleton, which does not distinguish between the enemy and me, everyone can't hide, and how can they take the initiative to join in.
Knowing is knowing, the gray-robed old man is still unwilling. If we don't seize the opportunity to storm the camp, the operation will fail again.
Unable to maintain his image as a leader, the Grey Robe personally appeared at the rear of the group, ordering the rebels to keep up with the Skeleton Monster.
……
"Splash the oil on it and burn this pile of skull scum!"
As soon as the words landed, the pouring fire oil directly enveloped the five skeleton monsters, and in an instant, they turned into five moving fire skeletons.
Faintly, Hudson could already smell burnt bones. From time to time, I heard a heart-rending roar, which was a fear from the depths of my soul.
Perhaps stimulated, or perhaps dying, the skeletal monster burned by the flames grew more and more insane, forcing the coalition soldiers to retreat.
"Resist it all for me, these monsters are going to be finished soon."
Hudson struggled to mobilize.
Although he knew that the skeleton monster was the craziest at this time, fighting him in front of him, it was dancing with his life, but Hudson had no choice.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. For the most jealous of the general's mercy, the more times like this, the more rational it is to remain rational.
It is worthy of a silver-level skeleton, the fire oil is burned out, and the skeleton is still alive, but the bones on the body are broken a few more.
Obviously, this fire just now still has an effect. Without the slightest hesitation, Hudson ordered again: "Splash water!" ”
Only the sound of "Boom" was heard, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the originally sturdy skeleton shelf. Seeing this scene, the originally frightened soldiers instantly boosted their morale.
The soldier with the giant hammer rushed to the front and shot at the skeleton monster for a burst.
Despite the casualties, Hudson felt that it was all worth it, looking at the scum of bones all over the ground.
A skeleton shatters, and the soul fire, deprived of the protection of its bones, flies out and flies around the camp.
Hudson, who had not yet reacted, directly collided with the soul fire, and the mysterious compass lurking in his body suddenly moved, and then there was no more.
It's all energy, magic crystals and magic cores can become food for the compass, and eating a little bit of the skeleton monster's soul fire doesn't seem to be anything difficult to accept.
At this moment, the remaining four skeletons were no longer hateful enemies in Hudson's eyes, but energy packets sent to the door.
Judging from the compass's reaction, the effect of swallowing a cloud of silver skull's soul fire was better than devouring a dozen magic crystals before.
Without any accidents, the four skeleton monsters that had been severely injured finally turned into food for the mysterious compass after holding on for a while.
Without the threat of the skeleton monster, Hudson's heart was relieved, even though the enemy had already rushed into the camp.
"Retreat to the third line of defense, the archers take cover!"
……
Breaking through two lines of defense in one fell swoop can be described as a complete victory. The old man in gray in the rebel camp was not happy at all.
The five skeletons who had high hopes were defeated too quickly, and although they completed their initial plans, the results they achieved were not satisfactory to him.
It seems that hundreds of ordinary soldiers of the enemy were taken away, but there were also dozens of their own people who died at the hands of the skeleton monster.
Originally, I thought that if I tore through the enemy's camp gate, I would be able to drive straight in. I didn't expect that the opponent was too "Gou", and after breaking through the camp, there was a second line of defense and a third line of defense......
Although each line of defense is not strong, just a few rows of wooden horse retaining stakes + fences, it is still a threat to the charging soldiers.
The moment they were blocked by the obstacles, the enemy archers were already in action. The clearing of barricades could only be carried out in the rain of arrows, and with the rudimentary equipment of the rebels, people would fall for every step forward.
The elite food burning team with high hopes was originally supposed to sneak in secretly, but was forced to rush to the front line and became a death squad.
The tragic situation was unbearable to look at, and more than half of it was lost under the rain of arrows in an instant. In addition to secretly scolding his subordinates for their incompetence, the gray-robed old man found that he could not do anything now.
Summon the skeleton one more time, just think about it. How can there be no price for performing this kind of anti-heaven evil magic?
It seems that the gray-robed old man has not changed much, but in fact it is the opposite. If it weren't for the protection of the Skeleton Lord, his soul would have been devoured by the world of the dead.
Seeing that the effect of the medicine was about to end, the gray-robed old man was so anxious that he stomped his feet. The more panicked you are, the easier it is to make bad decisions.
Under the command of the gray-robed old man, countless rebel soldiers launched round after round of desperate attacks. Hudson, who commanded the battle, was greatly shocked.
I've seen something that doesn't want to die, but I've never seen something so lifeless. If the rebels have tens of thousands of people, there is no problem in piling up human lives directly.
But now it is obvious that the number of defenders is larger, and according to this kind of desperate fighting, even if the entire defense line is torn apart, what can it be?
After looking at the battlefield, it was preliminarily determined that the casualties of the rebels had exceeded 20%. If it were a normal army, it would have collapsed long ago.
The effect of the potion of courage paralyzed the nerves of the rebel soldiers, making them bloodthirsty and belligerent, but the constant fall of their companions also pricked their nerves.
Fear began to spread in the minds of the rebel soldiers, but the afterthought brought by the paralysis of nerves made them still fight instinctively.
On the belvedere, Hudson picked up his bow and arrow, and set his sights on the gray-robed old man.
The sharp arrow slashed out of the air, like a bolt of lightning, but unfortunately a soldier in front of him suddenly rushed over and happened to block the arrow for the gray-robed old man.
The thrilling scene made the old man in gray instantly reel. As a master, he is not good at hand-to-hand combat.
Without the slightest hesitation, the gray-robed old man decisively chose to retreat. His instinct told him that if he didn't run away, he would have to meet the Lord of Skeletons.
After a memorable glance at the battlefield, the gray-robed old man was ruthless and fled directly into the woods, disappearing from Hudson's sight in an instant.
Hudson was not only not annoyed, but unusually happy.
The arrow just now was just intended to scare the rebel commander, and he didn't expect that a rebel soldier could be taken away from a hundred and fifty meters away.
Super long play?
The thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately took out another sharp arrow and shot it at a rebel leader.
With a "whoosh" sound, a rebel leader 100 meters away fell in response to the arrow.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"
Within one hundred and fifty meters, as long as he is targeted, he will not escape death. Such an accurate hit rate made Hudson suspect that he had become a marksman.
