Chapter 163: Territory Defense, All Members Go into Battle
Going north from the Land of the Dead, after crossing a few small hills, scattered green grass begins to appear.
Going up, the green grass stretches into an endless grassland.
When the skeletons entered such an area, they began to feel uncomfortable instinctively. They hated this vibrant feeling from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to destroy it frantically.
Under the influence of this instinct, the skeleton soldiers' line became increasingly scattered.
In particular, there were more than ten dragon eagles flying in the sky, swooping down every once in a while and wreaking havoc among the group of skeletons.
Whenever they fell, the skeleton soldiers would rush over and try to use their weak claws to capture these strong dragon eagles.
Unfortunately, every time it ended in failure.
After showing off its might for a while, the dragon eagle spread its wings and flew into the sky quickly with the undead hanging on its body before more skeleton soldiers rushed over.
With a show of flying skills, he easily dropped these unlucky guys from the sky.
Under such circumstances, the speed at which the Skeleton Sea spreads forward is inevitably affected.
Even though the Undead Leader forced the Skeleton Soldiers to move forward regardless of everything, every time the Dragon Eagle landed, the nearby Skeleton Soldiers would stop uncontrollably and try to attack.
This will naturally lead to a delay in the progress of the local team.
The Undead Leader was very anxious about this, but there was nothing he could do.
Although its predecessor was the famous Imperial Guard, after it turned into undead, all that was left was its outstanding combat skills, while its past war experience was completely lost.
Moreover, low-level undead such as skeleton soldiers have no intelligence at all and are difficult to control.
This resulted in the skeleton soldiers being like a flock of sheep on the grassland, moving and stopping, scattered and not forming any formation at all.
But overall, they are still approaching Mo Yu's territory.
It was only a few kilometers away, so even if we went slowly, there wouldn't be much time to prepare.
In fact, after about twenty minutes, the vanguard of the Skeleton Sea had already appeared outside the territory.
Mo Yu, who was the first to return to the territory, had already prepared for battle.
He gathered all the defense towers on the south side of the territory and distributed them in stages according to their range.
He was not afraid that the undead would change the direction of their attack.
The main defense towers are generally at level three or level four, and their range has been greatly enhanced, basically covering all areas of the territory.
Mo Yu only needs to adjust the positions of some low-level defense towers in time according to the opponent's actions.
In front of the defense tower were Stef strongmen and goblin civilians holding weapons.
Mrs. Stef was fine. Even though they were all first- and second-level Stef civilians, she was not afraid.
The goblins were in a much worse condition. Some of them had trembling legs and could not even stand steadily.
In fact, Mo Yu was not prepared to let them play in this battle.
These people were called here purely to be an audience.
On the one hand, it is to intimidate them with force, so that they realize the power of the territory;
On the other hand, we also hope to train their courage and gain some basic combat experience.
In the future, whether they are sent out to mine resources or serve as auxiliary troops to assist in defending territory, they will be more relaxed and stable.
In front of this wave of civilians were the territory’s combat troops.
The Stef combat unit led by Bruman, the Minotaur combat squad, the jungle herder Mu Qiao trio and the more than fifty giant wooden puppets under their control, the stone monster unit, and the rune golem unit.
All in all, there are nearly two hundred people.
They mainly serve as mobile forces to intercept the undead that break through the defense lines.
Timo and his scout team were away, and they set out early in the morning to set up camp at the gold mine resource point.
In front of these combat troops are a large number of summoned creatures from the defense towers.
Mo Yu took the lead and returned to the territory more than ten minutes earlier.
Even though the time was short, much of the summoning tower's ammunition had been restored by more than half.
With the constant summoning, a large number of summoned creatures have gathered.
There are more than 300 earth-armored ants in the colony, including more than 30 rock-armored army ants and more than 50 rock-armored giant ants.
In the previous battle, these elite troops in the ant room were placed by Mo Yu behind the defense tower position as guards, and the damage they suffered was not great.
The elite in this wave of ant rooms are still the backbone of the main force in resisting the Sea of Undead.
Next to them, there were more than two hundred crouching iron zombies, more than three hundred stone shadow insects, hundreds of skeleton soldiers, etc.
And in front of the ant colony, outside the territory wall, is an even more numerous pack of fire demon wolves.
The Flame Wolf Summoning Tower can summon fifteen Flame Wolves in each round. In nearly twenty minutes, the more than sixty summoning times restored helped Mo Yu gather nearly a thousand Flame Wolves in one go.
At the front of the Flame Demon Wolf Pack was a majestic wolf king, and beside him were more than fifty rare third-order two-headed Flame Demon Wolves.
This is the confidence that enables Mo Yu to resist the tide of undead.
Undead creatures are not afraid of death, and the summoned creatures under his command are also not afraid of death.
And until now, several summoning towers are still replenishing troops continuously.
On the contrary, after that wave of undead, the foundation of the Land of the Dead had been completely emptied, making it difficult to replenish troops.
With this increase and decrease, the longer the battle lasts, the more advantageous it will be for Mo Yu.
At this moment, the Undead Leader was in a difficult situation.
If they fail to break through Mo Yu's territory this time, the next step will become even more difficult.
Even if they escaped back to the land of the dead in disgrace, facing the opponent's unreasonable defense tower, it would be nothing more than a slow death.
So even though they knew that the territory in front of them was extremely difficult to capture, they still commanded the undead army to launch a fearless attack.
Click!
Amid the sound of bones rubbing against each other, the skeleton soldiers swept towards the territory like a tide.
Mo Yu was neither anxious nor impatient. He commanded the defense tower to suppress the attack of the skeleton soldiers.
Ouch!
The Flame Wolf King howled fiercely, and many Flame Wolfs spewed out fireballs at the same time, which crashed into the group of skeletons like an overwhelming force.
The explosive flames and shock waves immediately slowed down the spread of the Skeleton Sea.
Amidst the flying bone fragments, a large number of skeleton soldiers were shattered by fireballs.
After a moment, another shot...
After five rounds of attacks, the Flame Wolf King issued an order to retreat, and the Flame Wolf pack split into two.
The rare two-headed fire wolf, led by the wolf king, quickly retreated back to its territory.
The remaining Flame Wolves were guarding the walls.
At this time, the group of skeletons had followed closely and engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Flame Wolves guarding under the wall.
It has to be said that there is a reason why skeleton soldiers are considered weak in combat.
Before evolving into an Iron-Bone Skeleton, an ordinary White-Bone Skeleton, even if promoted to the third level, has quite ordinary strength.
Especially since most of them are alone and don’t even have a decent weapon, let alone armor.
Faced with the claws and bites of the Flame Wolf, they found it difficult to resist.
However, the skeleton soldiers had an absolute advantage in numbers and soon suppressed the Flame Wolves. They also began to quickly strangle those Flame Wolves guarding outside the wall to attract fire.
Mo Yu noticed that among the last remaining sea of skeletons, there were still a considerable number of iron-bone skeletons and even a small number of silver-bone skeletons hidden.
The advanced forms of these skeleton soldiers are even more powerful.
The Flame Wolves could still fight against the Iron Skeletons, but the attacks of the Silver Skeletons overwhelmed them and they were quickly defeated.
Mo Yu would not let these silver skeletons ravage, the Holy Sword Tower stared at them and killed them. Soon, a small number of silver skeletons were killed.
At this time, the city walls on the east and west sides were also attacked by the skeletons.
They stepped on the bodies of their teammates and climbed over the city wall.
Mo Yu had been prepared for this and had arranged personnel to guard against the small number of skeleton soldiers that might attack from the other two sides.
On the east wall, Bruman led the Stef warriors and minotaurs to guard under the wall.
This group of giants all used heavy weapons such as giant axes, large shields, and sledgehammers, or at worst a wooden stick.
Using heavy weapons to attack skeleton soldiers is surprisingly effective.
One strike could easily shatter the skeleton soldiers' bones, much better than a sword.
There are also small stone monsters among them, assisting in the defense.
On the other side, Mu Qiao, Mu Shan and Mu Guan were commanding the giant wooden puppets, waving branches to sweep away the skeleton soldiers who tried to climb over the city wall.
These gigantic wooden puppets stood behind the wall, looking down from above, waving branches and keeping watch tightly.
Under the giant wooden puppet are Annis and 12 magic apprentices, as well as 50 rune golems that have given command to Annis.
The occasional skeleton soldiers that were missed had no chance to move far after landing and were quickly killed.
After the Skeleton Sea experienced a wave of consumption by Mo Yu, the number of fish left was already limited.
Most of the remaining 10,000 or 20,000 were concentrated on the front battlefield, with only a small number of troops dispersed on both sides, which was not enough to form numerical suppression.
In addition, they lack tactical skills and find it difficult to seize fleeting opportunities on the battlefield.
The chaotic attacks were purely based on numbers, so how could they create enough offensive pressure?
Unfortunately, they lack weapons, neither siege weapons nor long-range weapons.
So even though most of Mo Yu's men were new recruits who were experiencing such a battlefield for the first time, no accidents occurred for a while.
All fronts were maintained firmly.
On the front battlefield, the Flame Wolf was quickly surrounded and killed by many Skeleton Soldiers.
The skeleton soldiers had already broken through the defenses of the wall and poured into the territory.
The summoned creature troops, which had been prepared for a long time, welcomed them warmly.
The giant jaws of the rock-armored giant ant swept across, and large numbers of skeleton soldiers were turned into broken bones.
In addition to the fierce attacks from elite troops such as the Rock Armor Army Ants and the Two-Headed Flame Demon Wolves, the fallen Skeleton Soldiers could not even stand firm.
At this moment, the Undead leader in the rear could no longer hold back.
The Undead Leader originally intended to use the Skeleton Sea to launch a wave of attacks, and then find a flaw to break into the territory.
But the strange thing is that the territory in front of it seems to have an invisible barrier, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
Therefore, the Undead Leader decisively chose to attack.
If we continue to wait, once this wave of skeleton cannon fodder is used up, there will be even less hope of victory.
With this thought in mind, the elite undead who had been on the sidelines in the rear finally began to move.
Mo Yu has been paying attention to the situation in the rear.
Seeing these iconic red dots start to move, he realized that a tough battle was coming.
He immediately mobilized some defense towers to attack the approaching undead team.
As for the ordinary undead on the front battlefield, their offensive power weakened a lot after a small number of silver-bone skeletons were killed.
Just by summoning creatures and cooperating with some defense towers, they can be easily kept under the wall.
If a few were missed occasionally, they would be quickly killed by Lai Fu.
This stupid dog's current strength can easily crush the undead, especially since he also possesses the characteristics of a skeleton killer. He is simply the natural enemy of these skeleton soldiers.
It also enjoys the feeling of bullying others.
Killing them one by one is much more exciting than biting the golden bone shield wall.
Da Zhuang controlled two powerful weapons, the Fiery Fire Tower and the Exploding Arrow Tower, striving to cause the greatest damage to the skeleton group.
At the same time, he always keeps an eye on the battlefield, and will remedy any problems as soon as they occur.
The elite undead army encountered heavy attacks from the Victory Gun Tower, the Holy Sword Tower and the Aurora Light Tower, and began to suffer casualties.
Mo Yu, who was standing on a high platform and watching the battlefield, noticed keenly that most of the casualties were the third-order rare undead who were following behind.
The real main force, the Wraith Battle Armor, did not suffer much damage.
These ghost soul battle armors have strong defensive capabilities, and most importantly, no one knows where their weaknesses are.
The attack from the Victory Gun Tower penetrated the armor on their bodies but did not cause any substantial damage.
The Aurora Electric Tower was completely useless. The electric current passed through the armor, only causing them to slow down slightly.
Only when the Holy Sword Tower's attack hits it can it be killed directly.
However, the blade of the Holy Sword Tower is too large and can be easily dodged.
Mo Yu frowned slightly. He realized that these ghost soul battle armors were not actually their bodies.
Their true form is actually the souls of the dead attached to the armor.
Therefore, it is difficult to harm their bodies through normal attacks.
"In that case, try this!"
Mo Yu's eyes turned fierce, and he brazenly activated the equality mode of the Victory Gun Tower.
In the mode of equality for all beings, all life forms are the same. It doesn't make sense that a mere Wraith Battle Armor can ignore its attack.
Even the dead soul cannot escape the attack of the Victory Gun Tower.
Puff, the spear shot into the defense of the Ghost Battle Armor like a piece of paper, easily breaking through it.
But, failed to kill it.
However, the Ghost Battle Armor was inevitably affected, and its speed dropped by more than one level.
Sure enough, the Victory Gun Tower can also hurt them in the equality mode.
After two more shots, the Ghost Soul Battle Armor finally stagnated, as if it had lost its support, and fell to the ground.
[Reminder: You have killed the Wraith Battle Armor and gained 928 points of magic power.]
With one strike, the Victory Gun Tower was able to kill the Wraith Battle Armor.
Mo Yu felt relieved after finding a way to restrain the Nether Soul Battle Armor.
Direct the Aurora Light Tower's attack towards the other undead, and concentrate on manipulating the Holy Sword Tower and the Victory Spear Tower to encircle and eliminate these ghost armors.
They are the core of the entire undead wave.
As long as they are successfully strangled, the crisis will be resolved automatically.
Bang, bang, bang... With the Shengzhan turret firing at full power, the ammunition was decreasing very quickly.
Three rounds per second, and 100 rounds every ten seconds to maintain equality for all.
After just one minute, the Victory Gun Turret had only 263 rounds of ammunition left.
The result obtained was just over forty pieces of Nether Soul Battle Armor.
There are still nearly half of the ghost soul battle armors, who have led the remaining undead elites into the battlefield under rapid attack.
