Summoning Total War

Chapter 36 Surrounded

Dead silence.

In this dead silence, a gust of wind suddenly blew, the kind of wind that made people feel cold, as if the blood had solidified. The dark wind carried an aura of death, including a trace of rot, and blew through the entire town in an instant, shrouding everyone in it. As this dark wind blew by, a mist actually rose from the surrounding land. The mist gathered together, and soon there was a gray feeling all around.

The cold breath came from the ground, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

"It's getting foggy!"

Murphy looked around, feeling something was wrong more and more. He frowned and said to everyone in a deep voice: "Everyone come closer to me and light the torch!"

The surrounding fog is getting thicker and thicker, and what can be seen is getting blurry.

After Murphy lit the torch, other surrounding mercenary groups also lit the torch one by one as a mark of distinction to avoid causing confusion. These torches are made of special grease, with some small magic added to them. Although they appear to be flickering in the thick and cold mist, they can still barely distinguish the surrounding situation.

"Let's exit first! Things are not quite right here!" Murphy used amplification magic on himself, and then said loudly.

As Murphy's voice spread, the leaders of the surrounding mercenary groups also responded. The situation in this town was really weird. First there was no trace of a demon, and then suddenly such a heavy fog rose. If there was an ambush inside and he rushed in so rashly, I'm afraid everyone would have to explain it here. After all, the mercenaries were not a regular army, and they each had their own teams. As soon as they saw something was wrong, some of them started to sneak back.

Seeing this situation, Murphy smiled wryly and shook his head.

Although this plane is very powerful, it also has an obvious drawback, that is, it doesn’t obey anyone!

From the beginning of the human empire, even until now, there has been no truly authoritative leader. Even the legendary Queen Isabella is only a nominal leader. The power of various trade unions, parliaments, and associations restrains each other. Although they can unite together in the face of the abyss invasion, they cannot cooperate sincerely, and may even be held back!

There is only one reason, and that is that they have no absolute leader!

In this plane filled with a large number of heroes, there is almost no one who can convince everyone and make the strong men of other races obey his orders!

Even Murphy was a little worried about whether the warriors of various races gathered on Zenda's battlefield could cooperate sincerely!

A good army.

What is required is not only strong personal combat power, but more importantly, team cooperation and absolute discipline!

If faced with the invasion of the abyss, the three major knights of the human empire, the paladins, and the court mage group could support other races, such as the dwarfs' legion of gods, the elves' druid order, and the orcs' Berserker, Fire Blade Sword Saint, Shaman Order, etc., then the power of the abyss will never be able to take over most of the territory of this plane so quickly!

But what is the final result?

The human empire has resisted the invasion of the abyss for hundreds of years. After its strength was exhausted, when the once glorious empire civilization collapsed, all races also suffered annihilation after losing their barrier! First, the Druid Order of the Elf tribe was severely damaged, and then the Berserker Legion of the Orc tribe was completely annihilated. Although the Fire Blade Saints and the Shaman Order blocked the abyss invasion for a period of time with their powerful power, they were still inevitably destroyed in the end. destiny!

Immediately afterwards, the dwarf Celestial Legion, the most powerful infantry legion on this plane, was all killed!

They may have left behind a brilliant record, but if they could cooperate with the Templars of the Human Empire from the beginning, would this catastrophe that affected the entire plane happen again?

sorrow?

This is something that is difficult to explain clearly, but it is not an easy thing to let all races put aside their past grievances and unite together.

There was nothing to say about who was right or wrong in the past, but how can we avoid such a tragedy now?

………………

There was a bit of chaos in the assembled mercenary team. These mercenaries, who each had their own tasks, were fine fighting on a small battlefield, but in such a battle of thousands of scales, their shortcomings of fighting on their own were exposed! Those who ran fast had already run out of the town, those who were slow to react were just retreating, and some who didn't plan to leave were gathering together and continuing to move forward!

Looking at the messy situation around him, Murphy couldn't help but sigh: "Mercenaries are just mercenaries, they can never be compared to the army!"

This situation really made Murphy, a battle-hardened commander, feel helpless. No trace of the enemy had been seen yet. It was just a heavy fog that caused chaos within the team. It can be said that even the lowest militia team in the Kingdom of Athens knows what discipline is better than these mercenaries! It seems as if the prohibition does not exist at all to them!

"No! This fog is poisonous!" The old Templar who had been following Murphy suddenly changed his expression and shouted.

As a Templar who believes in Holy Light and Justice, he has a far superior perception of many evil things than ordinary people. Even now that the power of the Holy Light has declined, he quickly felt the strangeness in the mist.

"Quickly exit!" Murphy's expression changed when he heard this, but he still believed what the Templar said and ordered immediately.

Hearing that the mist was poisonous, the mercenaries who had been preparing to go deeper were also stunned.

Immediately, they started running out in a hurry. While running, many people opened magic scrolls and tore open some low-level magic scrolls they carried with them, such as purification, anti-toxicity, detoxification, hair drying, etc. The scene was quite chaotic for a while. Many people bumped into each other in the thicker fog, and then curses could be heard.

"Kakaka!"

"Click!...Click!..."

There were sounds of bones rubbing against each other, and the mercenaries who were retreating couldn't help but be stunned. When they turned around, they immediately found that the ground in front of them was loose, and then pale hand bones stretched out from the ground. When they came out, any living thing caught by them was immediately grasped tightly, and the pale finger bones even penetrated into the flesh and blood. Even if they were all cut off, these pale finger bones could not be removed!

"Bone Prison!"

"It's the Bone Prison! There is a Necromancer nearby! Everyone, be careful! There are undead!"

Many experienced mercenaries shouted, reminding everyone around them. Fortunately, Murphy was alert early, and only a small number of people stepped into the trap of the Bone Prison. Otherwise, they would have lost their lives. Lots of manpower! The sound of 'click, click, click' was still heard, and the soil in front of them stirred, and then pale hand bones stretched out, and then the soil above was peeled away, and skeletons stood up one by one.

Their eyes were flashing with blue flames, they were holding sharp swords in their hands, and they were walking towards the crowd step by step without any sluggishness.

"These skeleton soldiers were not temporarily resurrected. They were buried underground and then awakened again!" Murphy said with a solemn expression to the people around him.

Most of the temporarily resurrected skeleton soldiers have no weapons, because they cannot conjure weapons out of thin air!

The swords held by these skeleton soldiers in front of them were all sharp weapons, with almost no rust. It looked like they had been prepared for them in advance.

This is a trap!

Murphy looked ahead with a solemn expression, pulled out the knight's sword from his waist, and said in a deep voice: "Get ready to fight!"

"Ready to fight!"

"Ready to fight!"

There were loud shouts and echoes. Amidst the clanging sounds, the mercenaries surrounding Murphy drew their weapons and formed a simple defensive formation. Murphy's preparation time was limited, and at most he could only train them into a few useful defensive formations. If you want to reach the level of soldiers in the Kingdom of Athens, this kind of short-term training is simply impossible to achieve.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"There are enemies behind you too! Be careful! Ah! It's a devil!!!"

At this time, there was a scream of misery from the rear of the line, and the demons who had disappeared without a trace appeared behind the mercenaries at some point. They took advantage of the thick fog to sneak up on those who were eager to retreat. The mercenaries were killed by surprise! At this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. In front was a vast army of skeletons, and behind was a large army of demons. The mercenaries were suddenly trapped in the town!

but.

After all, these mercenaries were experienced for a long time, and after the initial chaos, they quickly stabilized.

Although they are not good at large-scale combat, they are extremely proficient in small-scale and small-team cooperative combat! I saw a small team of several or even dozens of people gathered together. They were holding a variety of weapons, either cooperating for defense or taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. They cooperated with each other to fight, and they actually blocked the demons behind them in one fell swoop. Our attack!

Although they are not good at large-scale battles, the mercenaries in this plane also have their own fighting methods.

Once the small teams were separated, the attacking demons also dispersed. What was originally an encircling battle between the two armies suddenly turned them into a melee, with demons and humans mixed together. There was no command at all, it was just a chaotic fighting style of fishing in troubled waters!

But unfortunately, this fighting method was extremely practical for the mercenaries. After a short battle, they stabilized their formation and began to work together as a small team to kill the surrounding demons.

This kind of fishing in troubled waters but extremely effective fighting method really made Murphy stunned.

——"Kick the old master to death with random punches!"

That's it.
