Chapter 162: Fierce Battle in the Sea of Undead
The souls of the dead in the pit continued to flow out like a surging spring.
Mo Yu had not expected that there were so many undead hidden in the land of the dead near the territory.
It's like a powder keg with sparks.
If we leave it alone, you never know when your house will be flooded by these undead spirits when you go out.
I have to say that I am quite lucky to be sent to such a place.
His only luck was that, with an army of defense towers at his disposal, he wasn't afraid of the ordinary sea of the undead.
Facing these gushing skeletons, the defense tower does not need to aim, and each attack will smash a large number of skeleton soldiers.
If this were a game, you would now be able to see the experience points on the defense tower's head rising rapidly.
This is indeed the case. The advancement progress of the defense tower is increasing rapidly.
In this situation, a random attack would kill dozens of undead.
Even throwing a stone can hit several skeleton soldiers, not to mention the attack from the defense tower.
Outside the pit, the Flame Wolf spewed fireballs, blowing the oncoming skeleton soldiers into pieces.
When their magic power was exhausted, they waved their giant claws and rushed forward to fight.
The Flame Wolf is huge in stature, and is not at all inferior to these skeleton soldiers.
There were also a large number of iron zombies lying around them, waving their claws and fighting fiercely with the skeleton soldiers.
As soon as the engagement between the two sides began, it was extremely brutal.
Skeleton soldiers have no emotions, are not afraid of life or death, and their aggression is extremely fierce.
Some just climbed up, grabbed the nearest creature, and dragged it down with all their might.
There were also those who rushed forward and knocked their opponents down directly.
They don't care about their own bodies at all, and attack the summoned creatures nearby like crazy.
Under this desperate attack, Mo Yu's defensive line in the pit quickly became shaky.
After all, the number of summoned creatures under his command is limited, and their strength cannot reach 100% crushing.
It only lasted about ten minutes before the lines near the pit were breached one after another.
A large number of skeleton soldiers and skeleton warriors jumped out from it.
Their numbers were so huge that they drowned the summoned creatures like a flood.
However, not all of these summoned creatures died.
Although there are many skeleton soldiers, their attack power is not outstanding, especially when they lack weapons.
The summoned creatures gathered in groups of three or five, barely forming a formation to resist the attacks of the skeleton soldiers.
Escape is definitely impossible, and now they can only do their best to kill these undead.
The only troops that retreated were the Ambush Corpses who hid underground.
They joined forces with the Rock Armor Army Ants and Rock Armor Giant Ants that Mo Yu had not yet sent to the front line to form a new defensive line in front of the defense tower position.
The sea of skeletons quickly flowed towards this side, and the overwhelming skeletons were no weaker in momentum than the sea of insects seen that day.
Even though Mo Yu had experienced and defeated the sea of insects, his expression changed slightly at this moment.
This scene of a large number of creatures rushing in has a natural sense of oppression.
But soon, he returned to normal.
The current Mo Yu is no longer the country farmer who farms and fishes, but a lord from another world who has experienced several wars.
The Undead Territory, the Zerg, the Fallen Demon Tribe... one enemy after another had already tempered his courage.
Facing the sea of skeletons that was coming like a wave, Mo Yu remained calm. He mobilized the sniper positions consisting of explosive towers and arrow towers and launched layers of sniping.
Defense towers such as the Exploding Arrow Tower, the Fiery Sea of Fire Tower, and the Earth Spear Stabbing Tower concentrate their fire to extinguish the opponent's arrows, wherever they appear.
The most exaggerated thing is the giant catapult. After the round boulder landed on the ground, it did not stop, but rolled all the way down under the action of inertia.
Along the way, the blocking skeleton soldiers were crushed in large numbers.
After rolling for a while, some of the boulders stopped due to the obstruction of the skeleton soldiers' bodies, while others rolled into the pit.
There was another burst of flying limbs and broken bones.
Although the giant catapult is a defense tower against buildings, it can still unleash astonishing destructive power in this dense formation today.
Just one random stone would kill hundreds of skeleton soldiers.
The dense rain of attacks immediately slowed down the speed of the Skeleton Sea.
However, this level of casualties seems nothing compared to the endless sea of skeletons.
There are too many skeleton soldiers, and even if the defense tower attacks like rain, it is difficult to completely block them.
As one skeleton fell, a new one soon appeared.
They advanced one after another, pushing the front line forward step by step, and approaching the front of the defense tower position.
Soon, the skeleton soldiers arrived at the first line of defense built by the golden bone shield wall.
Mo Yu did not completely block the defense line constructed by the golden bone shield wall, but left many gaps, forming a winding passage with layers of golden bone shield walls.
The skeleton soldiers, who had no intelligence at all, automatically dispersed and squeezed into these passages after pouring in.
Some of them stepped on their companions' heads and tried to climb over the golden bone shield wall.
With this differentiation, the wave of skeleton soldiers was divided into several groups at a level visible to the naked eye.
Inevitably, the forward momentum of the Skeleton Sea's waves came to a halt.
The second line of defense, composed of rock-armored army ants, rock-armored giant ants, and crouching iron zombies, was interspersed between the golden bone shield walls, resisting the oncoming skeleton soldiers.
Because of the obstruction of the golden bone shield wall, only dozens of skeleton soldiers could squeeze out of the passage each time.
These elite summoned creatures were located at the end of the passage, easily blocking a large number of skeleton soldiers from moving forward even a single step.
Their offensive was firmly blocked fifty meters away from the defense tower position.
However, as a large number of skeleton soldiers accumulated, they began to automatically move to both sides like flowing water.
After all, the defense line formed by the golden bone shield wall is limited in length and has an end.
These skeleton soldiers slowly advanced to both sides of the golden bone shield wall at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, at the end of this golden bone shield wall, there is another golden bone shield wall slanting downwards.
The skeleton soldiers split up again, some squeezed into the passage, some continued to climb over, and others continued to rush down along the golden bone shield wall.
It can be clearly seen from the sky that the ocean composed of skeletons, like water, is slowly wrapping around the defensive position built by Mo Yu in the center.
However, faced with the solid defense composed of more than seventy golden bone shield walls, the skeleton soldiers were unable to break through it for a while.
On the contrary, under the intensive firepower of the defense tower, the number dropped rapidly.
Especially at the rear side of the entire defensive position, Mo Yu left three gaps and filled them with three epic totem towers.
With every range attack, hundreds of skeleton soldiers fell.
It just so happens that in the entire defensive position, these three locations have the largest space for outflow.
Just like water flows to lower places, the Skeleton Sea involuntarily converges to these three places.
This also results in the three epic totem towers having extremely astonishing killing efficiency.
Under the formation designed by Mo Yu, the number of skeleton soldiers was rapidly decreasing at a rate of nearly a thousand per second.
Defense towers and summoned creatures are killing these fragile skeleton soldiers with extremely efficient and astonishing efficiency.
Even if there were hundreds of thousands of undead in the Skeleton Sea, they would not be able to withstand being consumed like this.
However, the undead commander hiding in the dark has no better way to control these mindless skeleton soldiers.
Although the Skeleton Sea has advantages, it also has natural flaws.
That is the difficulty in command.
A large number of low-level undead who can only understand the most basic commands.
For example, destroying everything in sight.
If they were given an order to bypass the outer creatures and go for an assault and decapitation, they would be completely incomprehensible.
Even if the order is given, it will just flow forward in chaos in the end.
When you encounter water, cross it; when you encounter a wall, climb over it. That's all.
We don't build bridges over water or ladders over walls.
"Why don't you come out now? If you don't come out now, I will kill all of you brothers."
Mo Yu stared at the red dot on the tactical radar tower, his eyes flashing with a terrifying light. It would be best if the undead commander in the dark attacked with anger, so that he could achieve his goal in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, the other party would hide underground and never show up, and Mo Yu really had no better solution.
At most, they would send a group of ambush zombies to cause some trouble in the opponent's lair, but it would be difficult to break in.
After all, ground rats are the most hateful.
However, he did not take it lightly.
Because it can be clearly seen on the map that there are hundreds of undead hidden in the pit.
These undead are the opponent's true elite force, and they are also the elite undead that are truly under their control.
Therefore, the Bone Decay Tower has been automatically casting spells into it.
The only pity is that because there are too many targets, the Bone Decay Tower cannot guarantee that the attack can accurately hit the undead commander.
We can only ensure that every attack lands near it to weaken this group of undead as much as possible.
Time passed by minute by minute.
This undead commander with great patience finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Because the rioting sea of skeletons was gradually calming down, and nearly half of them had been killed or wounded without anyone noticing.
White bones piled up like a mountain outside Mo Yu's defense tower position.
But despite this, the skeleton soldiers were still unable to break through the blockade of summoned creatures and defense towers.
But the sacrifice of these skeleton soldiers was not completely in vain. Most of Mo Yu’s defense towers’ ammunition was almost exhausted.
At the same time, under the laying of their numerous bones, the effect of the golden bone shield wall became increasingly weak.
This is the case when many bones are consumed by fire, explosions, etc. Otherwise, they will only be filled up faster.
In this situation, Mo Yu could feel that the undead leader hiding in the dark was beginning to stir.
On the tactical radar tower, the red dots, which had become noticeably larger, began to move.
"coming soon!"
"go!"
Mo Yu raised a smile and jumped onto Zuo Xi's back.
Salt also showed a helpless smile and rode on the dragon eagle beside him.
A group of dragon eagles, led by two dragon eagle knights, gradually took off into the air.
Mo Yu's mind moved, and he opened the door of war, taking in the defense towers on the ground one after another.
Without the defense tower's protection, the swarm of skeletons swarmed forward and soon completely submerged the small slope.
But they are destined to gain nothing.
Having lost their target, the skeletons wandered around, somewhat at a loss.
At this time, the group of undead hiding underground finally showed up.
"What kind of undead is this?"
Mo Yu was stunned when he saw the undead jumping out of the pit one after another.
After being promoted to the third-rank lord, his eyesight was greatly enhanced.
Therefore, even at high altitudes, one can clearly see the appearance of the undead.
This is a group of silver-black armors, yes, armor, a pair of walking armors.
Inside the armor was empty darkness, and no living creature could be seen supporting it.
【Wraith Battle Armor】
[Level]: Rare level 3
[Status]: Angry
[Abilities]: Indestructible Body (The Wraith Armor will not perish with the destruction of the armor), Will of the Undead (The damage caused by spiritual and magic skills is reduced by 50%), More Courageous with Fighting (With continuous fighting, the strength of the Wraith Armor will become stronger)
[Description]: An elite undead creature created by the fusion of the deceased soul and the immortal battle armor by chance.
So, this is the armor becoming a spirit?
Just as Mo Yu was looking for the leader among the group of armors, Salter was suddenly moved.
"This is the Norman Empire's Royal Guards, were they destroyed here?"
"Norman Empire? When was this power established?" Mo Yu was a little confused.
"During the Third War Era, there was an empire in the human camp that was fairly strong. Their Royal Guards were an army with an overall average strength of up to level six."
"Look, the silver double sword patterns on those armors are the symbol of the Norman Empire."
Mo Yu looked over and saw two crossed ancient silver swords on the armor on the chests of those ghost warriors.
He couldn't help feeling sad.
This world of war seems to be extremely brutal.
The natural elves that had been destroyed before, and now the Norman Empire, one force after another perished in this place.
Even powerful races like the elemental elves chose to withdraw from the world.
As humans from the blue planet, how can such a naturally weak race survive on this land?
At this moment, a trace of confusion flashed through Mo Yu's heart.
But soon, he put this strange feeling behind him.
He has already taken the top spot in the Lord's Competition Tower, so why should he be so self-deprecating?
It's man-made.
It is still uncertain who will be able to stand firm on this land in the end.
However, after this group of ghost souls in battle armor emerged from the ground, they were at a loss.
The enemy who was so aggressive just a few seconds ago, ran away... ran away... in the blink of an eye.
What does this mean to them? They were slapped by you dozens of times, and they worked hard to crawl out from the ground, but you can’t find them?
This was also a little idea that Mo Yu came up with.
If you can't defeat them, run away and wait for the defense tower's ammunition to recover before attacking again.
It turns out that these Wraith Battle Armors are not fools.
After quickly gathering on the spot, they actually took the remaining undead and headed towards Mo Yu's territory in a mighty manner.
Obviously, even though it is underground, the Wraith Battle Armor is not completely ignorant of the situation on the ground.
It has been confirmed that the enemy just now came from the nearby territory.
Mo Yu was not flustered. He looked at Salt and they split into two.
Mo Yu was the first to return to the territory and organize people to prepare for defense, while Salt harassed the advancing undead on the spot.
Salt was very brave. He swooped down with the dragon eagle, and after wreaking havoc among the undead, he took off easily.
With his strength, as long as he doesn't commit suicide by getting trapped in that batch of Nether Soul Battle Armors, nothing will happen to him.
The undead were in a commotion, but facing Salt in the sky, they were powerless despite their efforts.
Soon, the commotion subsided, and the Nether Soul Battle Armor forced them to march towards Mo Yu's territory.
Leaving the land of the dead, under the scorching sun, the spirits of these skeletons inevitably became weak.
The movements were not as swift as at first.
At this marching speed, it will take at least twenty minutes to reach Mo Yu's territory.
This time is enough to prepare.
In fact, Mo Yu was not worried that this group of undead could cause any damage to the territory.
Now, there are about one hundred rare third-level Wraith Battle Armors, which is considered the most elite force.
There are about two hundred remaining third-order rare undead.
In addition, there are about 10,000 to 20,000 ordinary undead left.
Meanwhile, in the territory, in the ant chamber inside the Earth Ant Nest Tower, there were more than 130 elite rare-level ants, including 20 to 30 fourth-level rare-level ants.
There are also a number of light defense towers. When the Skeleton Sea attacked just now, Mo Yu was able to hold back and not attack at all, so as to recover the ammunition.
The ammunition of the other defense towers was mostly restored in these twenty minutes.
The territory also has a number of soldiers including Stef Warriors, Rune Golems, and Stone Monsters, and there are also walls, which will make this battle even easier.
