Chapter 43: Frontal Battle
The sealing of Salene and the Khan ignites a necromantic creature frenzy.
Dense skeletons crawled out of the dark abyss and surged towards the dwarves' resting place.
When dense footsteps were faintly heard in the black mist, the dwarven cannons began to roar.
The artillery carried out indiscriminate covering attacks into the black fog, and each shell that fell and exploded shattered and injured four or five skeletons around it. The bursting flames burned out the black mist at the same time, like a rag full of holes, and countless blank spots were blasted out of the black mist.
The skeletons that crawled out of the dark abyss seemed endless, and the skeletons in front were only shattered, and the ones behind were immediately replaced, and these necromantic creatures kept approaching under the attack of the dwarven cannons.
When the dense shadows of the necromantic creatures in the black mist were visible, the dwarven musketeers began to shoot.
The dwarven musketeers attacked in a row, and a volley of musketeers sent the necromantic creatures in the black mist down in a row. The first row of musketeers fired six rounds in a row, then retreated to the last row to reload, and then switched to the next row of musketeers to continue firing.
The necromantic creatures were still firing a salvo of muskets, and some large monster skeletons could take a dozen or even dozens of shots before they fell.
Initially, a volley of musketeers would wipe out approaching necromantic creatures, but later it would take two or three rows of musket salvos to slow down the skeletons' advance.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in the air, and the necromantic creatures with the ability to fly rushed to the top of the dwarven army.
Flying necromantic creatures, though a tiny fraction of the skeleton army, were extremely troublesome and difficult, and their aerial rush into the ranks of the dwarven musketeers immediately disrupted the dwarven firing formation.
Many dwarven musketeers had to aim at the necromantic creatures in the air for free fire, and after the platoon was disrupted, it was no longer possible to completely suppress the charge of the necromantic army, and a skeleton had already rushed in front of the dwarven army.
The drums of war sounded, the dwarven army launched a counter-charge, and one by one the dwarven warriors rushed forward with a roar of big axes and giant hammers, and a tragic hand-to-hand combat began in an instant.
Although the dwarven warrior is the tallest of all the warriors, he is strong and brave in battle, and the great axe is slashed, and the giant hammer swings to split and smash a skeleton.
The dwarven warrior wiped out the necromantic creatures at the edge of the black mist with a single charge, and then quickly retreated.
When the necromantic creatures behind rushed to the front of the formation again, another group of dwarven warriors pounced.
The army of necromantic creatures is endless, and the dwarven warriors always maintain a strong attack, smashing wave after wave of skeletons in front of the formation.
In the middle of the dwarf army, the dwarf king's heart that has been hanging is gradually letting go, although there are many of these necromantic creatures, but the overall combat power is not strong, and the dwarves are not killed or injured, as long as they persist any longer, sooner or later these necromantic creatures can be wiped out.
As if to see the dwarf king's thoughts, Professor Shalene said softly: "This is just a skeleton on the periphery of the dark abyss, the more you go inside, the stronger the necromantic creatures become, and the most powerful of the three may need the dwarf king to deal with it personally." ”
As Saran was talking, there had been changes on the battlefield, and there were more and more huge monster skeletons rushing to the front of the dwarven army, and it was often five or six dwarven warriors who could withstand the attack of a single monster skeleton.
When the dwarven warriors couldn't quickly destroy the monster skeletons that rushed up, the necromantic creatures that poured up from behind gathered more and more, and the dwarven defense line kept retreating.
With the sound of a whining horn, the dwarven cavalry on both flanks rushed forward.
The huge body of the Drill Demon Lizard is almost no less than that of some small Demonic Beasts, and with speed and heavy armor, it pounces forward and knocks the Demonic Beast skeleton to the ground. The dwarven cavalry on the back of the Drill Lizard followed up with a few heavy blows and smashed the soul fire of the monster skeleton.
The dwarven cavalry overwhelmed a large number of necromantic creatures from a powerful onslaught from both sides, quickly turning the tide of the battlefield.
As more and more powerful necromantic creatures rushed forward, the advantage of the dwarven cavalry battlefield lasted only a few moments before they were entangled and engaged in melee with undead creatures.
The earth dragon under the dwarven king suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, and all the dwarves were shocked, it was an order for the dwarven army to charge in full force.
With the exception of the dwarven musketeers and artillery units, all the dwarves roared and charged, and tens of thousands of dwarves rushed towards the necromantic creatures in the black mist, fighting everywhere across the vast battlefield.
Even general-level dwarves like Steel Bean rushed forward, and there was never a shortage of powerful warriors among the dwarves, and these dwarven generals specialized in the powerful existence of necromantic creatures.
The seven or eight meter-long skeleton of the powerful demonic beast was hit on the head with a blow from the steel bean, and the skull was smashed along with the soul fire.
"Don't look at the excitement, let's go too!" Arthur, who was in the battle formation, also brandished the Starfall Greatsword and charged with the dwarven warriors.
Arthur singled out the massive monster skeleton, and he indulged in the feeling of swinging his great sword and slashing at the battlefield.
The spirit feather who fought side by side with Arthur for the first time hovered above his head, and the frequency of the spirit feather's shot was not high, but every time he shot was as fast as a meteor, often with a flash of wings, the soul fire of a skeleton was extinguished.
Joan hides behind Arthur and is responsible for the firepower, and the bursting fireballs are faster and more fierce than the dwarven cannons, and they are precision-guided, basically where Arthur's sword slashes, Joan's bursting fireballs will hit wherever they go.
But no one can compare to Ayi's limelight, this is Ayi's first battle after advancing to the silver body battle spirit, her original weapon scythe has become a more exaggerated death scythe, the long handle can resist the shoulder, the blade of the scythe is longer, the arc is larger.
Ayi's small figure held the huge Death Scythe, like a black lightning bolt wandering around the periphery, and the lightning passed through a skeleton body in two, even if it was a huge monster skeleton, it was turned around by the Death Scythe at the thick neck, and the huge head fell to the ground instantly.
In terms of the number of enemies killed, Ayi far surpasses Arthur and Joan, this is a killing machine.
Arthur's small team quickly harvested the necromantic creatures with great efficiency, and even gradually pushed back towards the dark abyss.
Like Arthur and the others, there is also an orc army in the Lethe Gorge.
Black mist surged through the canyon, but to the surprise of both the High Priest and the Wolf Elder, the necromantic creatures that burst out of the cave were not as endless and powerful as they had imagined.
When the orc army wiped out all the necromantic creatures that rushed out of the first group, the attacks behind the necromantic creatures became sparse, and there was never a large-scale attack again, and in the end, it was even a long time before a few holes occasionally rushed out, and naturally they were smashed by the orc warriors as soon as they came out.
"Something seems wrong with the situation, are there only so few necromantic creatures under such a powerful seal?" Elder Ghost Wolf wondered.
"We went in and only knew what was going on inside when we saw it with our own eyes. The high priest fell to the ground with one step, and with another step he had gone into the cave.
