After two days of riding, in the afternoon, Henry led the group to camp on the hillside.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Henry explained: "Not far ahead is Boom City, one of the first great cities in Bondenland to be destroyed by the undead. You have to rest well today, the road ahead may not be easy. ”

Everyone went their separate ways. Julia and Lucy light a fire and prepare to roast the hares that the team hunted yesterday. Henry, Wendell, and Kanna set up tents. Primo, Jim, Edward, and Garcia organize their equipment and polish their weapons along the way. Monica feeds the horses.

The peaceful atmosphere was broken by a scream from Julia. Not far in front of her, a skeleton soldier was approaching, making a rattling sound.

When it was too late, Wendell was the first to come to Julia and say, "My beautiful lady, don't be afraid of me." Then he opened his bow and shot an arrow, which hit the skeleton in the chest. Wendell was about to ask Julia for credit, but found that the arrow had passed between the two ribs of the skeleton and had not done any damage.

The arrow alarmed the skeleton soldiers, who sped up towards Julia. Edward's [Charge] and [Shield Strike] smashed the skeleton soldier into a pile of broken bones and scattered them to the ground.

Edward, who walked back, saw the frightened Julia holding Wendell tightly, pulled her behind him, and said, "Bows and arrows don't work well against skeletons." ”

Jim also walked over and said, "Not only bows and arrows, but all piercing weapons are not effective against skeletons, and the hit area is too small. Slash and blunt attacks are more effective. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that Primo and Lucy, two siblings who are my old teammates, I wouldn't have been willing to wade into this troubled water. What do you think I'm an assassin and a skeleton? Do I use a dagger to backstab a skeleton? Is there a difference between their back and chest? How hard do I have to stab them in the bone? ”

Jim's tone was extremely aggrieved, causing Primo to laugh out loud, and the others couldn't help but laugh. Jim glared at Primo fiercely and walked over to where he had sharpened his weapon. After taking two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground with his left ear on the ground. After a while, he ran to the north of the camp, motionless.

Sensing that something was wrong, Primo and Lucy ran to Jim's side, also frozen in place.

Everyone gathered around to find out, only to see that under the cliffs north of the camp, the land had been submerged by a sea of skeletons. The army of skeletons with no end in sight staggered towards the hill where the camp was located, and everyone was shocked by the magnificence of the scene.

"What are you all thinking? Ready for a fight. Kanna's calm voice woke her companion up.

Henry immediately began to make tactical arrangements: "Monica, all your casts and mana are all used to use group attack magic, don't care about the approaching skeletons, where to pile up and fight!" Jim, Wendell, you two don't have to step forward, focus on protecting Monica alone. Lucy and Julia stood in the center of the formation to see the opportunity. Primo and I hold the big western ramp. Nana, Edward, and Garcia hold the small eastern ramp. ”

Everyone got the order and set up their own positions. Monica's starting point is an elemental eighth-order magic [Tornado]. A huge whirlwind swept up in the center of the Skeleton Legion, and countless skeletons were swept into the air and shattered. A large area of skeletons is affected by the tornado and walks slowly. If the spell is cast, the Mage can control the course of the tornado. But Monica didn't care about the tornado, let it wreak havoc on its own, and raised her hand to come another elemental eighth-order magic [Hail Technique]. I saw that the sky began to be cloudy, and countless fist-sized hailstones fell from the sky, smashing the skeletons apart. This powerful spell must be cast continuously, and Monica is temporarily unable to do anything else. And the forward troops of the skeleton army have begun to pour up the hillside.

Henry mounted a horse, drew a huge knight's spear from his bag, and rode his horse down the slope. Along the way, the skeletons were either stabbed to pieces or knocked down the hill to pieces. The traveling horse was not a military horse, it was not equipped with heavy armor, and it was scarred back and forth. Henry changed horses and surged down again.

On the east ramp, Edward and Garcia charge up the skeletons. The skeletons are very vulnerable, and Garcia basically fights one with two hammers. Edward didn't bother to wield his sword, and a random [shield strike] was a shattered bone.

Since Ashley can take down a skeleton with a single blow, Kanna did not enchant the sword. I saw Kanna jump high, use the [War Trample] skill to jump into the skeleton formation 10 meters away, and then run forward and use [Whirlwind Slash] three times at the same time, directly clearing a clean road. But the skeleton soldiers were endless, and the follow-up troops immediately made up for it, surrounding Kanna.

Lucy and Julia stood in the center of the team, knowing that today's battle could not be quickly resolved, so they did not dare to cast a buff-type magic spell. Be prepared to save as many spells and mana as possible in case you need to heal.

For the time being, no skeleton soldiers rushed to him, and Jim and Wendell took out their short bows, dipped their arrows in grease and set them on fire, and shot them indiscriminately into the skeleton army down the slope. Quite a few skeletons fell on fire.

Thousands of the skeleton armies below the mountain have died under Monica's high-level magic. As a level 78 magician, the only 2 times of the day's eighth-order magic were exhausted. She didn't stop casting, the elemental second-order [Rock Fist Technique], the third-order [Fireball Technique], the fourth-order [Blizzard], and the fifth-order [Chain Lightning]...... Wave after group of spells bombarded the densest part of the skeleton army.

All the horses were wounded, and Henry tossed the knight's spear aside. Pull out your two-handed greatsword behind your back and use the [Sweep Thousands of Troops] skill on the skeleton troops that continue to surge, constantly slicing enemies 120° in front of you to the ground. At the same time, he cast the [Fever Aura] skill. This aura increases the physical attack speed of nearby allies. All aura abilities have a range of effect and actual buffs based on the Knight's Charisma attribute. Henry's charisma is obviously not low, because Jim and Wendell, who are in the middle of the team, are both affected by the aura and throw rockets more quickly.

Primo and Henry were back-to-back, slashing at the skeletons that surrounded them. However, the number of enemy troops swarming up the hill was much faster than they could clear the enemy, and many skeletons bypassed them and ran towards the priests and magicians in the middle of the formation.

"Edward! Help me! Julia screamed for help as she slammed the Scepter into the skeleton.

Hearing the shout, Kanna said to her comrades, "You two go to the west, and I'll guard here alone." ”

Garcia said uneasily: "But ......"

Kanna nudged him and said, "Don't do it, go quickly." ”

Edward pulled Garcia to the west and threw down the phrase, "Can't bear it and call us." ”

Kanna wielded Ashley as light as the wind and found the most efficient way to attack in the current situation. I saw Ashley dance faster and faster, and even the trajectory gradually blurred, and each blow slashed at the skeleton soldier's thigh bone. One by one, the skeletons who fell to the ground due to their broken legs rolled down the slope, and more skeletons fell down the cliff with them. Alone, Kanna pushed the line forward.

On the west side, a knight and three warriors lined up, like a wall to keep the skeleton army out of the perimeter. But the impregnable feeling didn't last long, and suddenly I noticed that the speed of the skeleton soldiers rushing up doubled.

Monica, who was behind her, said helplessly: "My mana has been exhausted. I've also drunk the mana potion, and I can't use magic for a short time. ”

Suppressed by the tsunami-like skeleton soldiers, Henry and the others had retreated to the two priests, and the team was about to be surrounded.

Unlike Julia, who wears priest's robes, Lucy wears a suit of chain mail and carries a shield. I saw her rush to the front of the formation, resist the attack of the skeleton, and began to chant the seventh-order divine technique [Group Super Undead], and continued to chant to maintain the effect of the divine magic, and the mana value naturally continued to be consumed. The surrounding skeleton troops turned into dust one by one.

Henry canceled the [Fever Aura] skill and used [Defense Aura] to protect Lucy instead. Edward uses the Soldier's special skill [Survival Roar] to increase the temporary health of nearby allies.

Lucy quickly ran out of mana, and the line she had managed to resist was forced back. Jim pulled out his dagger and slashed, although the dagger couldn't do much damage with the swing, but it didn't take much care of it, and it was easier to hit a skeleton than a thrust. Monica swung her staff and smashed it at the approaching skeleton. Julia, on the other hand, constantly uses healing magic to help injured teammates, and when the skeleton is too close to her to concentrate on casting spells, she raises her cross scepter and waves it around.

Seeing that all the spell classes were in hand-to-hand combat, Primo used [Battle Roar] to increase the physical attack power of nearby teammates. [Battle Cry] is originally a special skill of the Berserker faction, but as an ordinary warrior of the golden balm, as long as the talent allows, almost all the warrior faction skills can be learned, but the effect is not as good as that of the warrior who specializes in the route.

After more than two hours of fierce fighting, most of the skeleton army was wiped out. However, the teammates were gradually exhausted, and all of them were injured and in a desperate situation.

Before the team was completely surrounded by the skeletons, Wendell threw away his shortbow and slipped out, quickly jumping up a large tree. I saw him sitting in the treetops, holding the vielle, and trying the sound a little. Then he played a tune and began to sing.

Wendell's voice is bleak, but his singing voice is full of unyielding strength. Beautiful singing filled the battlefield. Immersed in this song, even Edward, who didn't like Wendell, suddenly felt a force in his body erupt out, and he could no longer feel the fatigue before.

Lucy, who was already good at hand-to-hand combat, joined knights, warriors, and assassins to fight for her life.

Monica and Julia also forgot that they had never been hand-to-hand on the battlefield, roaring like beasts, smashing every close skeleton with their staff and scepter.

After clearing the enemy on the east road alone, the scarred Kanna, dressed in tattered and bloody chain mail, cut a passage all the way to the west and made her way to her teammates.

The battle continues. The singing continues.

Until the sun sets.
