Chapter Seventy-One: Trapping
I didn't see the heavy knights rushing outside, but I could imagine the spectacle just by listening to and feeling the shaking of the earth. The city gate in front of Zhou Zhongmou was slowly opened, and it seemed that His Excellency Count Potemkin, the Grand Master of the Moby Dick Knights who was responsible for defending the city, was ready to take this opportunity to let the power in his hand go out and rush, of course, the first choice was those whose individual combat effectiveness was uneven and did not have much organization, but it was a pity that the casualties could not affect the group of mercenaries of the city guard force.
The door opened, and the tall Zhou Zhongmou, with his superior height and keen eyesight, was the first in this group of mercenaries to see the situation outside. The first thing I saw was the fallen horses on the ground and the knights above, the skeletons, and the rain of arrows caused about twenty or so knights to either be shot on their horses or shot at people and withdraw from the battle. Fortunately, the Black Bull Heavy Knights were also well-trained, and the fallen centaurs did not block the assault behind, and the Heavy Knights led by Viscount Dragonov rushed directly into the skeleton array that had been sparsely sparse after receiving the fireball technique.
What Zhou Zhongmou saw was the moment when he rushed in. "Oh! it really has a very good visual effect!" At this time, there was only one earthly idiom in his mind: "Destroy the withered and decayed!", but it was indeed dry bones on the other side. The skeleton soldiers were completely unable to stop the charge of the heavily armed knights, not even to cause damage to the other side - the only damage that Zhou Zhongmou saw was that the knight's horse had broken its foot due to a collapsed skull bone
But the Death Knight standing at the end of the formation didn't move at all, and his red glowing eyes calmly looked at the heavily armored knight approaching at high speed in front of him from under the dark mask. The next moment, a change happened.
From among the skeletons in front of the Death Knight, several extremely tall figures suddenly stood up. Zhou Zhongmou's eyes were very sharp, and he could see clearly that these were very huge skeleton soldiers, which were formed by the combination of many skeletons. The next moment, red flames ignited on the skeletons that stood more than six meters tall, and the flames burned in their hands, finally forming huge swords.
With the Death Knight as the core, a total of nine huge skeletons burned at the same time as a signal, and the entire skeleton soldiers who had not yet been destroyed suddenly ignited red flames. The skeletons were no longer vulnerable, and they could actually block the charge of the knights except for the gold-level Viscount Dragonov.
"Hey, what's going on?" It's not just Zhou Zhongmou who has raised such a question, almost all human beings who have seen this scene have raised such a question - for many years, wars have been carried out with high-level warriors or magicians as the core, basically similar to what Zhou Zhongmou saw in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms - a battle of military generals, and then followed by a vote of miscellaneous soldiers, single-handedly won, and the opposing miscellaneous soldiers collapsed but now- Zhou Zhongmou saw a huge skeleton raise the huge war knife in his hand, and stubbornly resisted the war spear of Viscount Dragunov, who was bursting out of vindictiveness, and the huge skeletons behind it also stretched out their bones to share the pressure of their companions, and the three skeletons actually blocked Viscount Dragunov's assault.
The situation is completely different from the past, according to the information about the magic tide that Zhou Zhongmou found in the big library in the past - the magic tide should cause the general level of the creatures and non-creatures in this other world to rise, but it will highlight the appearance of individual heroism, there will be some people who have reached an unprecedented state of combat effectiveness, although the level of ordinary people or ordinary monsters has risen, but it cannot be compared with powerful high-level warriors or magicians - the gap between people will widen.
But now, what Zhou Zhongmou saw was the effect of the combat power bonus of ordinary skeleton soldiers-"But this is definitely not because of the magic tide! I always feel that it doesn't seem like this!" Inexplicably, he remembered the war chess games he had played on the earth, "It doesn't necessarily have to be the hero bonus of the Hero Invincible series, right? Or is it the situation of the commander-wide bonus of the fantasy simulation war?" Zhou Zhongmou shook his head, feeling still uncertain, "I need more information, of course, it would be better if I could experience it myself." β
The sortie could not be canceled, and the mercenaries shouted and shouted in a haphazard manner, brandishing a variety of weapons, and slaughtered the skeleton soldiers in a completely disorderly formation - of course, Zhou Zhongmou, who was tall and long-legged, rushed first. When the Demon Sword Decapitator slashed at the first skeleton soldier, Zhou Zhongmou knew that the situation was not good, "This kind of sturdiness and the reaction speed of the skeleton are completely incomparable to the skeleton soldiers I used to make! And there is nothing unusual from the appearance." "That skeleton soldier can still have a relationship with Zhou Zhongmou - in fact, if it weren't for Zhou Zhongmou's side to keep up with other mercenaries in time, it is estimated that he would have been wrapped up and beaten into a pig's head by a few skeleton soldiers with a complete formation.
The strength, speed, and defense of these skeleton soldiers have reached the standard of the silver level, far exceeding the original skeleton soldiers who should only be the black iron level Cheng DΓΉ, the only problem is that their combat skills and tactical abilities are very dull, which is also the reason why Zhou Zhongmou can quickly knock down the second and third after cutting down the first skeleton. "A very disciplined but inflexible soldier!" Zhou Zhongmou thought, but the mercenary beside him was already lying on the ground.
The mercenaries have no formation to speak of, and at the same time, the weapons in their hands are also different, and due to the uneven combat effectiveness of individuals, some are fast and some are slow, so the timing of the engagement is different. The result is a refueling-like battle, in which almost every mercenary fights alone, or at best, in small groups. Although their combat intelligence far exceeds that of dull skeleton soldiers, and due to their experience, the cooperation between small groups is also very tacit, but they are not at all the opponents of skeleton soldiers in organized battles at a large level.
The exchange ratio between the two sides is simply a joke.
Zhou Zhongmou's combat skills and strength are superb, so in the face of multiple skeleton soldiers, he can completely knock them down one by one under the cover of the mercenaries who are keeping up, "Damn, I could have opened the matchless" Because of this, the four-person team led by Zhou Zhongmou actually turned into a team that went deep into the opponent's formation alone, and the other mercenaries had already collapsed. This is a big trouble, seeing that the skeleton soldiers began to close the gap, Zhou Zhongmou hurriedly asked everyone to turn around, and quickly ran towards the gap opened by him, fortunately, the movement speed of the skeleton soldiers is not fast, so it is estimated that there is still a chance.
