Chapter 10: Necromantic Knights
After the last trombone sound like a charge horn was stirred, the bone warriors in the front row began to charge in groups!
As the white leg bones gradually ran from fast to slow, charging in a group of five rows, the infantry combat regiment of the White Bone Legion rushed forward with shields and long knives. Behind the three charging groups were the skeletal archers who had already prepared their rockets, and these archers followed suit to keep the range of their arrows as short as possible.
The Great War finally broke out with the charge of the Bone Legion.
The ranged shooters of Atlantis had already prepared various ranged weapons in the big tree tower on the edge of the wall, and when the first row of skeleton warriors rushed to a kilometer in front of the treeman warriors, with the heavy shouts of one of the leaders, the various ranged weapons hidden on the big tree tower opened fire.
The sound of "boom, boom" suddenly came from the many trees on the edge of Forest City, it turned out that the Atlanteans had set up a large number of energy crystal cannons in the trees by the wall, and the fire of these cannons was extremely fast, like a series of spar shells like machine guns.
These hedron shells are all natural energy collected from the earth by the Atlanteans, and their effects are different, some can produce a large explosion effect like a human bomb, some can freeze the enemy in a large area, and some can shoot countless arrows after exploding.
In addition to these hedron shells, the Atlanteans' ranged shooters also had a number of small ranged weapons, some of which resembled humans' medium-sized firearms, capable of shooting laser-like rays to attack enemies.
As a wave of spar shells fired, countless laser beams also shot out of the small holes in the tree, and suddenly, countless colored waves or bright white laser beams appeared in the sky. The Bone Warrior who charged ahead was immediately battered. I saw that many of the bone warriors were blown to pieces, many were frozen into ice sculptures, and some of the bone warriors were shattered by lasers and arrows and fell to the ground.
Seeing that his own bone warriors were killed and wounded, the Dark Church and the others were not in a hurry, and Ogugins seemed to have expected this situation, and continued to arrange for his dark mages to make other preparations.
After a few waves of spar shells were fired, the three charging Bone Warrior Infantry Corps were basically wiped out, and some of the Bone Warriors worked hard to protect themselves with the big shield in their hands. At this time, the Atlanteans had almost run out of hedron shells in stockpile.
The rest of the bone warriors who had already charged a few hundred meters in front of the Treant Warrior began to try to move closer together, and they connected the shields in their hands together, gradually forming a tower shield, protecting themselves well under the shield.
When these shields are connected, each bone warrior injects a portion of its own dark energy into the shield in their hand, and the warrior who follows behind them picks up the stumps and broken bones all over the ground, piles these bones behind the shield to support them, and in some mysterious way extracts the remaining dark energy from the broken bones and releases them onto the tower shield.
In a moment, a faint layer of dark energy appeared on a tower shield, and this layer of energy was like a protective shield, blocking out all the laser beams emitted by the Atlantis long-range shooter.
According to the combat intent of the Dark Legion, the main combat mission of the first three charging infantry regiments is to shorten the range of the skeleton archers in the back row and form a defensive formation in the front.
Just as the skeleton warriors in the front row formed a shield wall, the large number of skeleton archers in the back followed with little loss. At this time, due to the shield wall built by the skeleton infantry in the front, the Atlantis long-range shooters have run out of spar shells, and a large number of laser beams have been blocked by the shield wall, and the skeleton archers can safely hide behind the shield wall to draw bows and arrows, and aim and stand by.
I heard a rapid trombone sound from the rear, and tens of thousands of skeleton archers, musketeers, etc., shot in unison in the direction of Forest City. I saw a dense rain of arrows flying in the sky, and the gunfire continued like bursting beans, because considering that the Atlantean cities were all wooden structures, and the treemen warriors in the front row were also wooden, these arrows were stained with diesel or fuel, and the skeleton archers set them on fire before shooting them, only to ignite the fire after hitting the target.
However, the Atlanteans were not vegetarians, and after seeing that the archers had successfully found the range and equipped with firearms, following the orders of the various leaders in the castle, the large trees attached to the wall began to shoot out colorful brilliance from the inside, and these brilliance glowed together and formed a protective shield composed of elemental energy throughout the perimeter.
It turns out that when the Atlanteans first set up the city's defenses, in addition to making some of the energy hedron into hedron cannonballs, they also embedded most of the hedron into the outer trees to form an energy shield.
At this time, the energy shield set up 10,000 years ago finally came in handy, and the rockets and many bullets that were fired like a torrential rain were blocked by the elemental energy shield in the air fifty meters away from Forest City.
After seeing Forest City's energy shield, Ogugins' bland face finally showed a hint of emotion, and he said to himself a little: "I really didn't expect such a trick!"
The first wave of arrows was completely absorbed by the elemental energy shield, and then a second, third, and more rockets shot into the sky. At this time, some seemingly modern skeleton warriors had already pushed mountain artillery and other modern weapons from the rear, and with the sound of "boom, boom", many cannonballs flew towards the multicolored elemental energy shield on the opposite side.
In the original hedron arrangement, the Atlanteans hid most of the energy hedron in the body of the tree, so after resisting the long-range fire of more than a dozen waves of skeleton warriors, the energy shield was still full and did not appear weakened.
After more than a dozen rounds of long-range shooting failed, the Skeleton Legion was also more embarrassed. The skeletal archers' arrows, muskets, and artillery ammunition were almost depleted, and many of them could only stand in place stupidly.
This result was something that Ogugins and the others did not expect, they did not expect that the Atlanteans would have so much elemental energy to support the current situation.
The good thing is that after these dozen rounds of long-range shooting, although it has not had any effect, some large siege equipment has been pushed to the front of the formation, only a few hundred meters away from Forest City, and all preparations before the final siege have basically been completed.
Without hesitation, Ogugins ordered the final siege after the skeleton archer had basically shot all the arrows in his hand, and then, he turned his head to look at the several Dark Church elders who were busy behind him, called Bresta to his side and asked, "Are you almost ready?"
"Tell the Vice-Sect Master, we are ready to summon the Necromantic Knights on the second page of the Necronomicon at any time. However, several elders had consumed a huge amount of mana in order to summon as many skeleton warriors as possible, and although they had taken the recovery pill given by the deputy sect leader to supplement it, they could not fully recover, and according to the current state and estimates, it was expected that they could only summon less than a thousand necromantic knights. Bresta told the truth.
"That's enough, listen to me in a moment, and when I beckon, you will immediately summon the Necromantic Knights. Augustins commanded calmly.
It turns out that although this large chest of necromancers looks like a huge book, there are only a few thick pages in it, and according to the summoning spells of the Necronomicon Tome, different levels of dark golems can be summoned from each page of the tome to fight, for example, the first page is the skeleton army, and the second page is the necromantic knight. Although the Necronomicon is only a few pages, the further back you go, the stronger the dark golems that come out.
The trombone sounded. With the final siege order, all the skeleton warriors had no other concerns, and all brandished their weapons and charged in unison, and those skeletons that were originally archers also pulled out their short knives at their waists and turned into infantry.
Looking at the skeleton warriors in the back row, they are also pushing the large siege equipment forward. The Skeleton Legion finally launched the final full-scale assault, only to see that these dark puppets are not afraid of death, and they are really killing machines in the hands of the Dark Church.
Seeing that the other party launched the final siege battle, the leaders of Atlantis hurriedly ordered the warriors of the city to prepare for all the battles, and at the same time, under the orders of the Atlantean mage, the Treant warriors who had been waiting outside the wall for a while also launched a counter-charge against the skeleton warriors attacking from the opposite side.
The huge treemen also brandished the giant machetes in their hands, and their thick legs and branches slowly ran with great steps, and the thousands of behemoths ran like this, only to shake the ground around them slightly.
At this point, the Atlantean shooters who fired long-range weapons in the trees were no longer able to shoot the spar shells, but their laser guns were still usable, and the Skeleton Legion removed the shield wall shield due to the attack, just so that the Atlantean shooters could continue to shoot enemies with laser weapons.
The tall Treant Warriors and the oncoming Skeleton Legion fought together on the open ground two or three hundred meters outside the city, and saw the giant machetes of the Treant Warriors slashing horizontally and vertically, and they could smash several bone warriors around them with one sword, which was really fierce and fierce.
However, these Bone Warriors have a tenacious fighting style and unyielding will to fight, a dozen Bone Warriors surround a Treant Warrior to fight, several Bone Warriors try to attract the Treant Warrior's attack as flexibly as possible, and the other Bone Warriors see the opportunity to pour diesel fuel and other fuel on the Treant Warrior.
In the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, although the Tree Man Warriors had the advantage of strength, body, and height, the White Bone Warriors also embodied the advantages of unity, cooperation, and tenacity.
The long-range shooters on the big tree tower continue to shoot lasers to kill the white bone skeletons one by one, but in the chaotic battlefield, the huge body of the treeman often obstructs the archers' aiming sight, and sometimes the laser is accidentally shot on the treeman warrior, so that the Atlantis long-range shooter does not dare to shoot easily.
The Bone Skeletons fought hard to dodge the Treant's massive machete, pouring diesel fuel on the Treant while allowing the Bone Warrior in the back row to prepare rockets and gunpowder.
After paying a huge price, the Bone Warriors began to attack the Treant Warriors with firearms.
Because many of the tree people had been splashed with oil or had flammable and explosive materials such as gunpowder attached to their bodies, the bone warriors ignited them with rockets, muskets, torches and other shooting objects or projectiles, which immediately caused a large fire.
In an instant, the battlefield was a sea of fire, like a hell of fire, and the treemen continued to wield machetes and giant trees under the raging fire, while the bone warriors continued to fight to the death.
After the fire broke out, the Atlantean mages hidden in the towers of the trees hurried to the sky in unison. Due to their familiarity with elemental energy, a large number of dark clouds appeared in the sky in a short time, and it seemed that the Atlanteans wanted to use water to extinguish the fire on the Treant warriors.
At this time, the battlefield has completely turned into a white heat, under the burning of the raging fire, the white bone soldiers can no longer bear it, and some of the white bone soldiers are burned by the fire, emitting black smoke. Although the rain had begun to fall, the fire could not be extinguished for a while due to the fact that the tree people were covered with some fuel.
The Skeleton Legion has reached the end of their lives in this sea of fire, and will be incinerated by the fire, if not destroyed by the Treants. At this time, all the bone warriors began a complete suicidal attack, trying to get close to and hug the treant warriors in the flames, and then trigger the dark energy in their bodies as if they were self-destructing.
After the White Bone Warrior blew himself up, the flames on the Treant suddenly erupted further, and a few wisps of black ran along the Treant Warrior's body with a few wisps of black in the eruption. The rain in the sky, which had turned to heavy rain, could not do anything against the black flame, and although it doused some of the flames from diesel fuel, it could not extinguish the black flame.
The fire rose and fell, and many of the Treant warriors began to struggle in the flames, shaking their thick branches, trying to shake off the flames entangled in their bodies, as if they were enduring the pain of burrowing their hearts.
