The Invincible Overlord of Heroes
Chapter 744 Shadow of Death
The undead probably also wanted to see the strength of humans.
Xu Lai had already prepared for a long battle, but the undead did not let Xu Lai wait too long.
Rodhart, like Sandro, had gradually established a foothold in the human territory after experiencing initial setbacks.
If it weren't for the internal dissatisfaction among the undead, the Knight King and the Skeleton King would have been fighting for territory.
Duke Yuwen of the Eastern Empire, at this moment, let alone the idea of attacking Lionheart City, was lucky to be able to keep his core city.
The priest who was the most restrained against the undead could not give Yuwen Shao too much support, which made the undead look down on humans.
When Xu Lai first came, it was too sudden, and he flew directly into the barrier camp with flying magic.
When Sandro learned the news, Xu Lai's large army was already very close to the World Tree.
In addition, Xu Lai had a team of angels, and Sandro could not compete without mobilizing the Bone Dragon Legion.
But by the time he had mobilized the main force, the humans would have already run into the coverage of the World Tree.
Even if Sandro ordered a full-scale interception, it would only increase casualties. Without the main force of the undead, it would be impossible to eat this human reinforcement.
It was for this reason that Sandro decided to let Xu Lai into the city.
Anyway, fighting the elf army is fighting, and adding a human army is also fighting, there is not much difference.
Moreover, this human army is not small in size. Putting it into the elf's territory will only increase the elf's material consumption.
The undead have always been experts in fighting a war of attrition, but that is only determined by the characteristics of the undead, not Sandro's original intention.
In fact, Sandro himself has been patient for many years, and his patience is really not as great as he imagined.
In addition, Sandro really needs to know the combat effectiveness of humans.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy will win every battle. Even if there is no such saying in this world, there must be such military thinking.
Before his death, Sandro was the founding monarch of mankind, and after his death, he was the leader of the four kings of the undead.
Regardless of his identity, Sandro's military talent is unquestionable.
Moreover, as an undead, the most common thing is cannon fodder.
After the gate of the abyss was closed, Kerrigan was reluctant to let too many cannon fodder die.
But for the undead, no matter how many cannon fodders die, they will not feel sorry.
As long as the mana is sufficient, ordinary bone sticks can find a cursed place and kill a lot of them with one move.
So, the other three Shenmu cities are still shrouded in thick dark sky.
The black fog in front of the city where Xu Lai came suddenly opened, and large patches of white and gray bone sticks emerged from the black fog.
On the black skull flag, there is a huge dragon head printed.
But unlike the general dragon head, this dragon head is a white jade-like skeleton image.
In the entire cemetery camp, only the undead king Sandro is qualified to carry such a flag.
His flag appeared here, and many elves on the city wall were so scared that they lost their voices.
During this period, the undead king Sandro brought too much harm and too much fear to these elves.
When seeing this flag, countless elves remembered the terrifying time dominated by the shadow of death.
Reina frowned and said to the great druid Yin Mu:
"Let the ordinary civilians go down first. They are not only of no help here, but also hurt our morale."
Yin Mu sighed and nodded helplessly.
Then the druids organized these militias and civilians to leave.
And their departure means that a large number of catapults and crossbow carts on the city wall will lack civilians to help transport ammunition.
In addition to ammunition, the elven civilians are also responsible for transporting three meals a day, hot water, bandages and other living and medical supplies.
The elves who have been defeated repeatedly have few warriors available.
So even though he knew that the elven civilians had been scared out of their wits, Yin Mu could only helplessly organize the militia.
Unlike the elves whose morale was so low, humans won battle after battle. Under the leadership of Xu Lai and Lena, they even defeated the devil of hell.
In this situation, a mere bone stick was not taken seriously by these human warriors.
Unlike the nervous elves who were facing a disaster, the human warriors were quite relaxed.
Without the elves to carry ammunition, the sky archers who operated the catapults tried to calibrate the catapults.
They did not need saturation attacks to scare the enemy. The superiors had already explained that the undead would not be afraid of such emotions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Without any orders, just under the unified command of the flag, the human archers could launch dozens of catapults on the city wall at the same time.
There was no need for any advance explanation. Under the command of the grassroots officers, all the catapults smashed the boulders to different locations.
No boulder, not even a crossbow arrow, attacked the same area and the same target.
They were aiming at the most valuable and most numerous targets within a straight-line distance.
Arrow towers and slingshots were natural advantages for the defenders.
Even if the attacking troops had ballistics expertise, they would still be inferior to the walls of a castle-level city like Shenmu City.
And the undead were naturally free of any morale constraints, and of course they would not have any morale bonus.
The boulders that flew several kilometers rolled and crushed countless skeletons and sticks.
But both the skeletons in front and behind ignored their own casualties and continued to move forward at a unified pace.
However, among the skeleton army at the rear, some skeleton mages wearing wizard robes quietly followed.
These skeleton mages don't know any other spells. The only thing they know is skeleton resurrection, which can revive dead skeletons.
But after dying once, the Skeleton Warrior will be downgraded to Skeleton Warrior, and the Skeleton Warrior will be downgraded to Skeleton Soldier.
Ordinary skeletons cannot be downgraded, but due to severe bone loss, even with the help of spells, three skeletons can often only resurrect two skeletons.
However, let alone the loss of one skeleton, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million skeletons are nothing to the undead.
To be honest, this scene is still shocking to ordinary people.
Especially when people see the skeletons that have just fallen and get up again and again, people will have some bad emotions.
What's more, in the vast army of skeletons, ordinary people can't tell that the number of skeletons getting up is less.
Not to mention that ordinary people couldn't see it, even Xu Lai, who was standing on the ancient guardian, couldn't see anything with his good eyesight.
The druids, who were already feeling guilty, gave Reina advice:
"General, this speed is too slow, let's let the militia come up.
Shenmu City is the last barrier of World Tree, so there is no room for failure. "
The status of druids in the barrier is still very high. Most of the high-level officials of the Elf Royal Court and the Elf Elders are druids.
If it weren't for war, the supreme commander of Shenmu City would definitely be Arch Druid Yin Mu.
Not to mention that Reina has been imprisoned for decades, even decades ago, Reina's status within the elves was not as good as Yin Mu.
Reina glanced at Yin Mu. As an elf elder, Yin Mu knew the situation clearly.
“A bunch of skeleton sticks scare you?
Don’t forget, His Majesty the King of the Human Legion is still here. Are you still more valuable than the Eagle King?
Her Majesty the Queen and the group of elders have handed over the command to His Majesty Xu Lai, and Ms. Reina is the commander personally appointed by His Majesty Xu Lai.
On the battlefield, all orders given by Ms. Reina have the highest authority.
I don't care what your opinions are, just shut your mouth at this moment and follow the instructions. "
When the elves were in crisis, Rena's indifference made the elves' upper echelons somewhat dissatisfied.
Although Yin Mu maintained Reina's authority, he did not save any face for Reina.
However, Reina was not angry, and just said lightly: "Thank you, Elder Yin."
Xu Lai, who has equally keen ears and is not far from the command podium, poked Trisly who stayed to guard the side and said:
"Why do I feel like you elves don't welcome us?"
Trishly bit her lip and said, "When our sisters massaged you just now, we didn't seem to feel that you felt like this."
Xu Lai chuckled, but did not continue to struggle with this issue, but asked:
"I just saw that all the little sisters under you were scattered. Are they looking for the undead commander?"
Trislie looked up at the approaching skeleton army in the distance and said:
"Whether these skeleton soldiers are using Sandro's banner to scare us or not.
But as long as we find Sandro's location, we can hope to turn defeat into victory. "
Xu Lai frowned and said: "But I heard that Sandru is a lich. As a lich, isn't it necessary to find their life boxes?"
Trishley said: “If you want to completely kill Sandro, of course you must destroy his phylactery.
But the function of the phylactery is to help the lich resurrect, what if the lich is not dead! "
"You mean, you want to capture Sandro alive? Seal him in prison?"
Trisili said bitterly: "I know this is not easy, but we have no other options.
Even if we kill Sandro, we can't destroy such a huge undead army.
The only way is to control or seal Sandro, otherwise the shadow of death will always be with the elves. "
Sandro had two main purposes in going to the Elf Lair. One was to plunder a large number of dragon bones to mass-produce bone dragons.
Another purpose is to gain the secret of rebirth and resurrection by controlling the World Tree.
Although the undead have eternal life, they have forever lost all sense of being human.
Taste, smell, vision, hearing, touch and even human emotions are all things that the undead desire but cannot obtain.
No matter what Sandro's goal is, he must conquer the Elf King's Court, where the World Tree and Dragon Tomb are located.
Xu Lai was silent for a moment, then turned to Elvi and said:
"If the ranger gives a signal, don't kill Sandro this time."
Elvi shrugged and said, "Although Sandro is a mage, he is not much less dangerous than Kerrigan.
Moreover, the higher the level of the undead, the more time and accumulation it takes to resurrect.
If Sandro died, the undead army he left here would be leaderless.
Even if we can't kill all the undead, we should still have a chance to drive and kill most of them. "
Obviously, Elvi does not agree with holding back Sandro.
Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "You decide. If it's really dangerous, we can just kill them.
At most, we'll stay for a while and help you drive away the army of undead before we leave."
Tressley nodded silently. As an elf, she really didn't have the right or face to let her allies take the risk for the elves.
The offensive and defensive battle on the ground was still going on. Giselle and the phantom archers had already started shooting.
They didn't stay on the city wall, but on the rows of ancient guardians inside the city wall.
After the ancient guardians took root, they were towering trees. It was really easy and pleasant to have a group of phantom archers on them.
With the help of the ancient guardians, the phantom archers didn't lack arrows at all.
Anyway, killing these skeletons with wood spirit arrows and phantom arrows was the same. One arrow killed one and no second shot was needed.
At this moment, the only thing the phantom archers needed to worry about was not whether they had enough ammunition, but how long their own physical strength could last.
The long range of the phantom archers and the height of the ancient guardians higher than the city wall allowed them to attack first before the arrow towers.
Just above the ancient guardian next to Xu Lai, Giselle drew her bow and arrows and was the first to use the arrow rain skill.
The huge arrow rain instantly took away the lives of hundreds of skeleton warriors.
But even with the output of the phantom archers, it was just a drop in the ocean for the entire skeleton group, and it could not make too many waves.
Using the wood spirit arrows, the output of the phantom archers could not carry the phantom, and the output was almost 8 times less.
However, even if the output increased by 8 times, it would still be useless against this group of skeletons that climbed up again not long after they died.
Seeing this scene, even Xu Lai couldn't help rubbing his brows and said:
"The attack of the undead hasn't really come yet, but I can't help but feel a chill.
It's really not easy for you elves to hold on for so long without collapsing."
Tsui Si Li sighed and said: "These skeletons are used to wear down our morale and ammunition.
Deal with them, the physical strength and arrows wasted are countless, and most of the skeletons can't even climb up the city wall.
But not dealing with them is not good either. The endless number of skeletons keep knocking, and even the strongest city wall will be smashed one day."
Even if the 9th-level Seraphim faces the 1st-level skeleton soldiers, there is a huge gap of 8 levels between the two sides.
But even so, the Seraphim dare not say that it is truly unharmed.
The probability of causing basic damage will become smaller and smaller according to the difference in attack, defense and level, but it is by no means equal to zero.
In the world of magic, as long as the number is sufficient, let alone the city wall and the Seraphim, even the gods can be killed.
Of course, one thing subdues another, and there is no real invincibility in this world.
Seeing that the physical damage was not effective, Reina snapped her fingers.
The magic archers who had been vacated by the phantom archers in the arrow tower, after hearing the snap, drew out the red arrows from their quivers. (End of this chapter)
