Chapter 92: The Undead Scourge Appears
Above the sky, countless black spots are getting closer and closer.
As a 7th-ring warrior, Susetani had extremely sharp eyesight and finally saw clearly what those black spots were.
That's a dead vulture!
This is an undead creature similar to a vulture. It is not very powerful and is about the same as an ordinary skeleton.
But quantitative change leads to qualitative change. When those thousands of vultures swooped down to eat human flesh and blood, it was enough to cause damage to the legion.
If it were just these dead vultures, Susaytani would not be worried. Facing the tens of thousands of troops led by him, these dead vultures could not cause any trouble.
But when the continuous black shadows on the ground came into Susaytani's sight, his expression finally changed drastically.
"The entire army stops advancing and faces east!"
With the power of his communication aura, Susetani's order spread throughout the army in an instant.
The square formations that were advancing stopped as ordered, and there was only a slight disturbance in the entire formation before they all turned around.
Yanshui City is not important at this moment. What is important is the sudden arrival of the undead army!
"Lord Susetani, where do these undead spirits come from!"
The deputy legion commander also saw the true face of the endless black shadow and said in horror.
"They are the undead in Dragon Grave Canyon."
Susetani's face was solemn and he clenched the sword in his hand.
"How is this possible? How can the Dark Moon Church have the ability to command the undead in Dragon Grave Canyon? If they have this ability, why are they controlling these undead now?"
The adjutant murmured in disbelief.
"Son of the Dark Moon... Not long ago, the Son of the Dark Moon was born! Stop talking nonsense and prepare to fight the enemy!"
"Yes!"
"Rogue Legion, listen up! Crossbows—fire!"
Thick crossbow arrows, carrying hurricane force, were shot out from a square formation and landed in the undead army thousands of meters away.
The crossbow arrow hit the ground, creating a deep pit, and the storm blew away the undead around it.
Some skeletons were directly shattered, and some zombies lost half of their bodies.
But as long as the core of the undead is not damaged, the undead will not stop and will not fear death.
The skeleton picked up the bones of other skeletons from the ground, put them on his body and continued to move forward.
The zombie, having lost half of its body, was still crawling forward using the other half.
Although the undead cannot achieve the uniformity of human armies, they are also more difficult to kill.
Because they are dead!
Seeing that the giant crossbow's physical attack did not do as much damage to the undead as expected, Susetani calmly shouted loudly: "Mage, warlock legion, use the three-ring fireball spell, fire!"
A phalanx of dozens of mages and warlocks, chanting spells and making casting gestures together.
immediately,
One after another, blazing fireballs shot up into the sky, drew a beautiful parabola, and landed among the undead army.
“Boom boom boom—”
The earth shook violently, there were deafening explosions, and blinding flames enveloped the earth.
The shock wave spread violently, smoke covered the battlefield, and each fireball was like a 155MM howitzer, tearing apart all living things.
Even the undead army was blown into pieces by the firepower of this artillery battalion.
No matter what school you belong to or what spells you know, Fireball is a must-learn magic for a military wizard!
Seeing the huge damage caused by the spell, Susetani was shocked and prepared to let the mage empty all his spell slots.
But just then——
A huge black shadow enveloped the earth, and a giant dragon covered in frost flew over the earth with pale flames burning at the joints of its bones. The terrifying dragon's might enveloped everything, causing the neatly organized army to commotion at that moment.
"A dragon, it's a giant dragon!!"
The soldiers in the army shouted in fear.
Susaitani rode his horse and shouted back and forth: "Calm down, stay where you are, don't be afraid of a mere dragon!"
Susaytani's prestige and strength calmed the army temporarily.
The huge bone dragon in the sky opened its mouth, and a strong magical aura gathered in its mouth, and a frosty breath passed across the earth and the crowd!
The earth is frozen, and humans who touch the edge of the breath will be immediately frozen into ice sculptures.
The dragon's breath kept spewing out of its mouth, and after freezing hundreds of people, it fell into the mage's position.
The mages fled in panic. The lucky ones rolled over to avoid the breath, or used protective spells to block the splash.
But those unlucky mages, when their bodies were hit by the freezing breath, turned into lifelike statues on the spot and shattered at the slightest touch.
This magician formation, which could only fire 155MM howitzers, was immediately scrapped.
Susetani was stunned for a moment, and then he shouted, "Griffin Knights, Falcon Knights, and Druids who can transform into flying creatures, go stop this giant dragon!"
Although the dragon's appearance was unexpected, Susaytani remained calm.
As the commander of the legion, if he loses his composure, the army will undoubtedly be defeated.
Hundreds of griffin riders, falcon riders and druids pounced on the frost dragon.
Five loud dragon roars were heard from the sky again, and five bone dragons descended from the sky.
Lightning and fire spewed out from the mouths of these bone dragons and fell on the earth.
The human roared and cursed, but still could not stop his body from being burned by the dragon's breath and turned into charcoal by the lightning.
Seeing these five bone dragons causing chaos in the army, Susaytani's eyes were bloodshot.
Is this a bone dragon? Is this really not a dracolich? I've never heard of a bone dragon being able to spit out dragon breath!
"Giant crossbow, shoot!"
Susetani screamed loudly, and a crossbow arrow several meters long was launched from the launcher again, bombarding with a hurricane.
The power of this giant crossbow, although its hit rate is not high, is enough to penetrate a real dragon.
However, when facing these bone dragons, their effectiveness is greatly reduced.
Those arrows might even be able to penetrate through the bone gaps of the bone dragon!
After discovering the giant crossbow position, six giant dragons bravely broke through the encirclement despite the overwhelming number of griffins, falcon knights, etc., and released their breath onto the giant crossbow position.
"These undead creatures are commanded by someone, the Son of Dark Moon!"
Undead creatures don't have such intelligence and will choose to deal with the most dangerous things of the enemy first, which means that someone is commanding them.
"Where is the Dark Moon Child?"
The undead army is getting closer and closer, the weird cries are endless, and the rotten smell makes people want to vomit.
Susaytani temporarily gave up the search for the Son of Dark Moon and took command of the army first.
"The Big Shield Legion, move forward and withstand the first wave of impact!"
Human soldiers holding huge shields rushed forward one by one, forming an iron line of defense.
From the gaps in the shields, spears more than ten meters long stretched out, forming a hedgehog-like thorn defense line.
But the Undead Legion doesn't care about that.
Led by the burly, foul-smelling abomination, the undead army and the human troops finally collided.
