Chapter 72: The Consequences

The pace of the skeleton soldiers was neither fast nor slow, but in Zhou Zhongmou's opinion, why was it so fast! Now several people didn't care about covering each other, and they ran with their fastest pace, as for the skeleton soldiers behind them, it depended on their personal luck. At this point, Zhou Zhongmou has a great advantage and a big disadvantage, and his body is the biggest disadvantage, which means that he has a big target, and the arrows shot from behind and even from the left and right are basically Zhou Zhongmou as the main target. Changing to any mercenary, unless he reaches the silver level, he can use his fighting spirit to form an armor outside his body, he will not be able to survive the first round of shooting, but these skeleton soldiers now have a great increase in attack power, and after Zhou Zhongmou used the magic sword in his hand to block a few arrows, he knew that even if a silver-level warrior broke out with a fighting qi shield, he would not be able to hold three arrows, and his fighting energy would be lost and he would collapse.

As for the advantage, height and long legs and fast running are also one of the advantages, and another advantage is that Zhou Zhongmou's skills are very outstanding, his skillful combat skills and keen dynamic vision allow him to use the magic sword in his hand to cut down or block arrows, as for the fish that slips through the net, it relies on the chain mail on his body to resist - of course, the secret weapon is his muscles that are full of fighting spirit and are as hard as steel.

The current situation is that everyone takes care of their own people, and there is no extra energy to protect the others, and the skeleton soldiers who surrounded them have already swung their unified swords and spears towards Zhou Zhongmou and their heads-to-face-due to their size, the skeleton soldiers do not need to care about the sharp arrows shot by their companions. And Zhou Zhongmou's temporary squad immediately had the first attrition - the unlucky guy who didn't know his name was shot in the knee after a long arrow that hit a certain skeleton's ribs bounced off the ground and was shot. The unfortunate man who had been hit by an arrow in the knee immediately stumbled and fell, never to get up again. To be honest, Zhou Zhongmou also tried to pull him, but the horizontal sword stopped his outstretched hand.

Finally, at the moment before the encirclement, Zhou Zhongmou escaped with the remaining two people, so he specially slowed down a few steps to cover for the two guys. It's a pity that in the end, only Zhou Zhongmou and another person were able to successfully escape from the battlefield - one guy was unfortunately set on fire after escaping, and more than a dozen long arrows were nailed to his back, and the arrow rain was so dense that Zhou Zhongmou didn't have time to block it with a magic sword.

There were almost eight hundred mercenaries who attacked, and they shamefully broke into the skeleton line's line at a distance of about fifty meters - Zhou Zhong set a record, and then cut down about eighty skeletons, half of which were permanently damaged, and the rest slowly regrouped automatically. As a result, the opponent's attack on the heavy cavalry was delayed for about twenty minutes, and the loss paid for this was that more than 200 mercenaries never returned, and this exchange ratio was also the reason why Zhou Zhongmou called it a joke.

But a gold-level warrior is a gold-level warrior after all, and the fighting spirit that erupted on Viscount Dragonov's body caused a lot of changes, and now he has lost the spear in his hand, and at the same time began to urge the war horse to retreat, and at the same time drew a huge long knife. Now is the time to go all out. The Death Knight finally moved, the Nightmare Horse began to move forward, and with the sound of the horse's hooves, the skeleton soldiers began to quickly regroup their formation, and the current knights of the Black Bull Heavy Knights quickly broke away from the battle line. By this time the infantry had already begun to engage.

Heavy infantry is the natural enemy of the skeleton soldiers, and the heavy long axe can smash the skeleton soldier's skull very lightly, so that a skeleton can be returned to dust, and the knights on foot do not need to think about protecting the warhorse, they can focus all their attention and fighting spirit on the enemy in front of them. Although the speed of advance is slow, it is indestructible.

The gates were closed, but before the Moby Dick infantry had left the city, and Count Potemkin had given up watching the battle from the top of the city and had taken the infantry straight into battle - now close in numbers.

The battle ended quickly, and the Death Knight left the battlefield with the remnants of his apprentices, leaving all the skeletons to the Knights. Until now, no one has figured out how the fortress was lost, except that there were about a thousand ghouls and a thousand skeletons stationed in the fortress, and that the commander was supposed to be a lich.

No one knows exactly what this is all about, why the Transylvanian Empire suddenly sent troops to attack Karelia. It wasn't until about a week later that the magic message came out that the lands to the north had been invaded by the main forces of the Transylvanian Empire, and that a considerable amount of the territory had been lost. The aristocracy in the south was dealt a blow quite severely, and for a time the nobility of the north, which supported the son of the former queen, the eldest prince, became very arrogant - although the king had said more than once on his sickbed that he wanted the second prince to ascend to the throne - even though the little one was only twelve years old.

"It seems that this battle is simply a containment, but it seems to have succeeded unexpectedly. Zhou Zhongmou said after learning the above information. This time the battle had little effect on the city, and the farms on the road from that direction did not suffer much damage - the houses and fields were not even destroyed and burned, and some of the farmers and manor owners who had not had time to run away were killed. But the damage to the business practices and atmosphere in the city is very serious - people who have not experienced war for many years are completely unprepared for war, and even if they are not harmed, they still lose their original sense of security. The market withered almost all at once,

However, the Empire of the Dead on the other side also seemed to be content with controlling the fortress, and they had not taken a step outside the fortress since the battle. Fighting in the north was in full swing, and the main forces of the kingdom army, mainly the southern nobles, fought fiercely against the Transylvanian Imperial army there. Quite a few stars emerged in the battle, such as a teenager from a jazz family in the country, who almost came out of nowhere, showing excellent sword skills and sharp tactical acumen. Commanding the local militia, he attacked the Transylvanian Imperial Army more than once, and even thwarted a partial division of the Imperial Army in frontal battles.

Zhou Zhongmou listened in the tavern as the bard changed the news to a long song and sang, and finally sang that this noble young warrior was from a noble family of Low Knights, and he laughed and poured a large sip of wine. "That's right, it's a world of blood. What kind of height a person can reach, you can see more than half of it from his Lao Tzu"

Stimulated by the so-called young hero, Zhou Zhongmou decided to go in the direction of XinZemlya Island. He closed the door of the room, told old Rezenov and old Ivan that he was going to go out of the house, and then waved goodbye to the young couple - now Zhou Zhongmou is also a veteran with a bit of wealth and good iron-smelting skills.
