Lord of War

Forty-four. The Fallen

For the undead, the breath of life is like a lighthouse in the dark, and they can't see it even if they want to.

For those undead with only biological instincts, once a living person enters the dead place, all the undead will be alarmed instantly, because the breath is too obvious. Therefore, once the breath and aura of the living change, it is also the easiest for the undead to feel.

Therefore, when the momentum of the defenders of the wild fortress changed and they began to truly regard death as home, the breath of life they erupted was naturally so bright that it could be called dazzling. This caused a commotion in the entire army of undead. If there were no real high-level undead pressure, this seemingly ordinary army of undead would be in chaos.

Without him, I can make chaos.

But the momentum of the defenders became stronger, and the undead on the attacking side naturally became extremely manic. Even without the command of the commander, the undead who acted according to their instincts attacked more quickly.

However, no matter how fierce and crazy the battle situation ahead became, there was still a huge army of undead behind the formation that did not move at all. Even if the momentum of the defenders became stronger and more attractive, they only returned to normal after a little disturbance for a while, and did not completely confuse the entire army.

And in this army, which can be called the headquarters of the vanguard army, there are two figures standing.

One of them has a strong momentum, no matter how restrained and controlled it is, the few wisps of breath that leak out unintentionally still look really terrifying.

The other way is the opposite. Not only is there no aura leaking out of his body, but he doesn't even seem to exist in the entire army of undead. If it weren't for the other party standing next to the first imposing figure, the undead who only rely on breath to judge rather than eyes will only when it doesn't exist at all.

"It seems that your tactics are not good." This ordinary figure who has no sense of presence said, "You can't lure the enemy."

It was such a simple and calm sentence, but it caused the undead soul with a fierce momentum to feel a burst of panic. However, his panic was restrained in his heart, but his face was gloomy and ferocious, and the bones of his hands were clenched.

But along with the change in his mood, a strange change occurred in its body.

It was originally the appearance of a skeleton, but at this moment there were waves of phantoms shaking, revealing a burly figure over two meters tall.

This figure is wearing a black battle armor, and a black cloak is flapping behind him, but if you look closely, you will find that the cloak is not black at all, but is soaked with so much blood that it is completely black. The burly figure didn't wear a battle helmet, so he could still see the skull, but the burning flames in the eye sockets were not the dark green of ordinary skeleton cannon fodder, but bright red that was almost purple.

This kind of soul fire can only be possessed by undead who have reached the eleventh level.

Once it turns purple, it is a symbol of the legendary ghost fire, which means that the undead is a real legendary creature.

It's just an army of undead like cannon fodder, how could there be such a powerful undead?

"Are you trying to ruin me?" The skeleton who had no sense of existence opened his mouth, but such a plain sentence made the soul of the undead next to him, who was already in the upper sanctuary realm, feel a burst of soul freezing. the cold.

"Subordinates don't dare." The undead, who was hiding his identity, said,

The tone is respectful.

Only called subordinates, not subordinates.

This shows that this undead is not a subordinate of another undead, but a subordinate of another army of undead that has an equal and opposite relationship with it, but because its own status and rank are lower than the other, That's why they call themselves subordinates.

It is natural to imagine the strength of another person who can make the undead of the eleventh level call themselves subordinates and show such a respectful attitude.

After saying this, the undead's aura was completely restrained, and the state of the unstable phantom revealed on his body was finally slightly stabilized, and it no longer kept changing and repeating. But even so, it would be difficult to completely suppress the wisps of powerful coercive death aura, and there was still a strong death aura pervading the entire ground. It's just because the scale of the undead army is relatively large, so there is still a reasonable explanation for the escaping death energy.

Of course, this is also the reason why the army of undead in this headquarters dare not go too far.

With the perception of this undead strong man, he naturally knows that there are two legendary strong men in the fort ahead, and they are not ordinary legendary strong men, but belong to the kind with relatively strong combat power. Vibrations can be felt. However, these two people are not within the scope of his response, but the real strong man beside him is responsible for solving them. There is only one real goal of his trip, and that is to capture this fortress.

Except for a woman named by her lord who must be kept alive, other people in the fortress are dead or alive.

Of course, if he can leave more and more perfect material, then he will naturally be rewarded. And it was precisely because of this consideration that he adopted this disguise tactic that was rarely seen in the army of the undead.

In fact, this undead general was not an undead pulled by Lake from the plane of bones, but a local product made after conquering the southern territory of the Millennium Covenant Empire. Before his death, he was a powerful and excellent general. He was especially good at the way of war. He was one of the three pillars of the thirteen golden provinces.

Fallen people refer to humans who surrender to demons, devils, and undead. According to the different belief goals of surrender, there are demon fallen people, devil fallen people, and undead fallen people. The essence of these fallen people is still human, so they retain all the instincts and memories that belong to human beings, but because they are limited by the fallen belief, they will be implanted with special means of operation, and their appearance will be changed to a certain extent. Variety.

The price Adirozo had to pay was to peel off all his flesh and blood and become a skeleton with white bones. But because he has endured such severe pain, he has also gained the great benefit of strength improvement-as a human being, he is only in the realm of the lower sanctuary, but after becoming a fallen person, his strength has been raised to The upper sanctuary is only short of that last kick to become a legendary powerhouse.

Originally, he would never try to become a legend even if he tried his best all his life, but now he suddenly has the opportunity to become a legendary powerhouse. What is he dissatisfied with? It’s just that Ed Rozzo doesn’t know that even if he dies in this life, he will never be able to become a legendary powerhouse, and he will always be just short of this goal—from the moment he becomes a fallen person, he will never be able to become a legendary powerhouse again. He has the ability to improve his strength, so at the moment when his flesh and blood peel off, no matter how much his strength can be improved, he will only stop here in the future.

But Lake didn't tell him, so he didn't know it himself.

"The enemy has stopped shooting." The skeleton standing beside Adroso looked at the bone ladder that had been erected at a frenzied speed after losing the arrow rain, and suddenly said, "The bone ladder is about to be completed. How is your Black Death Army prepared?"

"Just wait for the Bone Staircase to be built." Adrozo replied in a deep voice.

The Fallen are the people who surrendered to the dark creatures.

But even if they surrender because of this, for dark creatures, they are "not my race, and their hearts must be different", so they are generally not reused at all. If they want to be reused, they must develop their own direct line troops, and then also speak for themselves with their military exploits. However, they are only qualified to speak, and the demon kings, lords, and maharajas who accept their surrender will never let these fallen people govern their own troops.

It is also because of this that all fallen people will have a skill similar to a natural ability: transformation. This ability is also called demonization and pollution, but no matter what it is called, it has only one essence, and that is to develop army deployment for themselves and strengthen their own legion combat effectiveness, nothing more. Of course, there are also some powerful fallen people. Their ability is not to lead troops to fight, but to be like a lone ranger.

But those devil kings, lords, and maharajas don't care about that. You can do it alone, or you can lead the army to fight, anyway, as long as you can complete the task.

And the Black Death Army is the army transformed from Adroso's pollution, which is the army standing behind him at this moment.

This is a skeleton cavalry with more than 30,000 people, and there is also a legion of close to 100,000 skeleton infantry armed with various weapons.

In fact, this huge undead army is the real headquarters of the undead vanguard this time, and it is also Edrozo's direct line. This army of 130,000 people is not a skeleton creature, but his deployment before he became a fallen man, but after he became a fallen man, this army did not escape bad luck, and all of them were destroyed by his demons. polluted by culture, becoming an army of fallen, half human, half undead.

Of course, the appearance of the skeleton now is only caused by the blessing of illusion like him. In fact, the combat effectiveness of this army is not inferior to the sixth-level army of the human empire. Even because of being completely demonized, the combat power is much stronger than the general sixth-level army. It may not have reached the real seventh-level army standard, but the difference is not too far. There must be quasi-level seven troops.

This undead vanguard army is indeed a vanguard, but it is not cannon fodder.

Levi didn't know this, but judged with ordinary logic, so it was simply inexplicable that this cannon fodder army actually brought tens of thousands of skeleton mages.

But it’s no wonder that Levi doesn’t understand. It’s because the knowledge base he’s been in contact with hasn’t been updated for a long time. I don’t know that there is a special existence of the so-called “fallen person” in the world, let alone a person himself. A fallen man who is good at army strategy. In this kind of war situation where the intelligence is completely unequal, it is not surprising that Levi did not see through this inferior tactic, and even William did not find anything wrong.

After all, no one would have thought that there would be undead who know how to disguise, pretend or even show weakness to the enemy.

There are a total of 350,000 undead, except for the main force of 130,000 and tens of thousands of skeleton mages, the remaining 200,000 are real cannon fodder, which can be sacrificed at any time, and are only used to build the bone ladder.

However, the bone ladder has not been fully constructed at this moment, so Ed Rozo still stands still.

He was still waiting, and immediately led the cavalry to launch a charge after the step of bones was completely completed. As long as a hole is cut by him, the infantry of the Black Death Army behind him can take advantage of the situation to enter, and then expand the results of the battle, and gain a firm foothold on the city wall——As a fallen man who was formerly human, of course Ed Rozzo Knowing what is the most important point in a city siege battle, if you can't gain a firm foothold on the city wall, you don't even think about breaking the city.

At this moment, a new defense method suddenly appeared in the wild fortress that had been quiet for a long time.

Countless boulders as big as millstones were lifted up the city wall, and then thrown straight down towards the bone stairs built against the city wall.

One or two huge millstones may not be able to smash the bones under the shield that have been glued to the city wall, but the falling of a large number of huge millstones is enough to cause cracks in these bones. And once cracks are formed, the firmness is naturally not as good, and then a few more times, these bones of the bones will naturally collapse a lot. And the threat of these millstones is far more than that. After smashing and collapsing the bones of the bones, the millstones rolling down the stairs naturally caused heavy losses to the skeleton soldiers behind.

Before they were completely turned into piles of bones and stuck to the city walls or their companions, these skeleton soldiers were only first-order undead creatures after all, no better than an adult, so they were hit by boulders, and many skeletons It is simply smashed directly. Of course, most of them were not shattered because of this, but it is normal for the body to suddenly lose one or two parts, and after the amount is reduced, it will naturally no longer be a material for building a ladder of bones.

"Death struggle." Seeing the new defense measures in the fortress, the undead standing in Edrozzo sneered.

This kind of defense method is indeed a dying struggle in the eyes of the undead. After all, how many millstones can a fortress have? The smashing down of these pieces may be able to slow down the construction speed of the bone ladder, but it still does not help the general situation, they are just built a little slower. But there are a full 200,000 road-making materials, and there is really no difference for the undead to be faster or fuller.

However, that undead creature whose strength is definitely above the legendary one obviously didn't want to waste any more time, so he took a big step forward, the soul fire that was hidden deeply in his eye sockets suddenly lit up for a moment, tens of thousands of people in front of him The skeleton mage immediately divided into two columns.

The front ranks stepped forward together, and soon entered the full range of the Iron Wing Bow Troops. But this time, even though several of them were shot and killed by soldiers with steel wings, there was no commotion or retreat. Instead, they began to activate their magic power to run magic, and a large number of skeleton soldiers who died in battle were summoned one after another. The skeleton soldier with a broken leg was also repaired by the magic of the undead, and quickly recovered.

Not only that, whether these skeleton soldiers were newly summoned or repaired, as if they were assisted by some magical power, they ran towards the bone ladder like crazy, and then turned them into materials for road construction.

For a time, the construction speed of this ladder was not slow but fast.

The skeleton mages in the front row stepped forward to call, and the skeleton mages in the back row also stood in formation. A huge amount of magic power quickly condensed in the formation of these skeleton mages, and then projected into the sky. Soon, huge dark clouds gathered in the sky of the entire fortress. These dark clouds were purely condensed by magic power. These dark clouds floated towards the fortress, and immediately blocked the golden brilliance emitted by Gulu in the fortress. The entire fortress Suddenly it became cloudy.

But Cecilia, who was standing on the city wall, felt a powerful magical power gathering at this moment. The entire black cloudy sky seemed to be brewing some powerful magical attack.

This made Cecilia's face extremely solemn. 〖To be continued〗【】
