The King

  Chapter 38 Supplements

  Courage potion is not a simple potion, it can make people bloodthirsty and warlike, but human instinct is still there.

  In the face of a terrifying thing like a skeleton that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, it's too late for everyone to hide, so how could they take the initiative to get close to it?

  If you know it, you know it, but the old man in gray robe is still not reconciled. If you don't seize the opportunity to rush into the camp, this operation will fail again.

  Regardless of maintaining a superior image, the gray robe appeared behind the team and strictly ordered the rebels to keep up with the skeleton monsters.

  …

   "Pour fire oil on it and burn this pile of skeletons!"

   As soon as the voice fell to the ground, the pouring fire oil directly enveloped the five skeleton monsters, and instantly transformed into five mobile fire skeletons.

   Vaguely, Hudson already smelled the smell of burning bones. From time to time, I heard a heart-piercing roar, which was the fear from the depths of my soul.

   Maybe it was stimulated, or maybe it was dying, the skeleton monster burned by the flames became more and more crazy, forcing the coalition soldiers to retreat steadily.

   "Hold on to me, these monsters are about to die."

   Hudson worked hard to mobilize the road.

  Although he knew that the skeleton monster was the craziest at this time, fighting him at the front was dancing with his life, but Hudson had no choice.

   One will succeed and ten thousand bones will die. Those who are generals are the most jealous and soft-hearted, and at times like this, it is even more important to remain rational.

   As expected of a silver-ranked skeleton, the kerosene was burned out, and the skeleton was still alive and kicking, but a few more bones on its body were broken.

   Obviously, the fire just now had an effect. Without any hesitation, Hudson ordered again: "Splash water!"

   Only the sound of "呵呵呵" sounded, and countless cracks instantly appeared on the originally solid skeleton frame. Seeing this scene, the morale of the originally panicked soldiers was instantly boosted.

  The soldier with the sledgehammer rushed to the front and dealt a burst of output to the skeleton monster.

  Although there were still a lot of casualties, Hudson felt that it was all worthwhile looking at the bones and scum all over the floor.

   A skeleton monster was shattered, and the soul fire without the protection of the bones flew out, flying around the camp.

   Hudson, who hadn't reacted yet, directly collided with the fire of the soul, and the mysterious compass lurking in his body suddenly moved, and then there was no more.

  It’s all energy. Magic crystals and magic cores can be the food of the compass. It seems that there is nothing unacceptable to eat some skeleton monster’s soul fire.

  At this moment, the remaining four skeletons were no longer hateful enemies in Hudson's eyes, but energy packs delivered to their door.

   Judging from the reaction of the compass, the effect of swallowing a group of silver skull's soul fire is better than swallowing more than a dozen magic crystals before.

   There was no accident. After persisting for a while, the four skeletal monsters who were seriously injured finally turned into food for the mysterious compass.

  Without the threat of the skeleton monster, Hudson's hanging heart was mostly relieved, even though the enemy had already rushed into the camp at this moment.

   "Retreat to the third line of defense, and the archers are responsible for covering!"

  …

   Breaking through two lines of defense in one fell swoop can be described as a complete victory. The gray-clothed old man in the rebel camp was not happy at all.

  The five skeletons who had high hopes were defeated too quickly. Although the preliminary plan was completed, the results achieved were not satisfactory to him.

   It seems that hundreds of ordinary soldiers of the enemy were taken away, but dozens of their own people died at the hands of the skeleton monster.

  I originally thought that tearing down the enemy's camp gate would allow them to drive straight in. I didn't expect that the opponent was too "doggy". After breaking through the camp, there would be a second line of defense, a third line of defense...

  Although each line of defense is not considered strong, just a few rows of wooden horse-repelling posts + fences, it is still a threat to the charging soldiers.

  The moment they are blocked by obstacles, the enemy's archers have already moved. Clearing the roadblocks can only be carried out under the rain of arrows. With the crude equipment of the rebels, every step forward, someone will fall down.

  The elite food-burning team with high hopes was originally supposed to sneak in secretly, but was forced to rush to the front line and became the Death Squad.

  The tragic situation was unbearable to look at directly, and in an instant, more than half of them were lost under the rain of arrows. Apart from cursing his subordinates for their incompetence, the old man in gray robe found that he couldn't do anything now.

   Summon the skeleton again, just think about it. How can there be no price for casting such a heaven-defying sorcery?

   It seems that the old man in gray robe has not changed much, but in fact it is quite the opposite. If it weren't for the protection of the Skeleton Lord, his soul would have been swallowed by the undead world long ago.

   Seeing that the effect of the medicine was about to end, the old man in gray robe stamped his feet anxiously. The more flustered you are, the easier it is to make wrong decisions.

  Under the command of the gray-robed old man, countless rebel soldiers launched round after round of desperate attacks. Hudson, who commanded the battle, was shocked.

  I have seen people who are desperate, but I have never seen such desperate people. If there are tens of thousands of rebels, there is no problem with directly taking human lives to pile up.

   But now it is obvious that there are more defenders. According to this desperate style of play, what if the entire defense line is torn apart?

   After looking at the battlefield, it was preliminarily determined that the casualties of the rebels had exceeded 20%. If it were a normal army, it would have already collapsed by now.

  The effect of the potion of courage paralyzed the nerves of the rebel soldiers, making them bloodthirsty and warlike, but the companions around them kept falling, which also hurt their nerves.

   Fear began to spread in the minds of the rebel soldiers, but the hindsight caused by nerve paralysis made them still fight instinctively.

  On the observation deck, Hudson picked up the bow and arrow, and locked the target on the old man in gray robe.

  A sharp arrow shot out like a flash of lightning, but unfortunately a soldier in front suddenly rushed over, just in time to block the arrow for the old man in gray robe.

  The thrilling scene made the old man in gray die instantly. As a mage, he is not good at hand-to-hand combat.

   Without the slightest hesitation, the gray-robed old man decisively chose to retreat. His intuition told him that if he didn't run away quickly, he was going to see the Skeleton Lord.

  Glanced at the battlefield in remembrance, the gray-robed old man was ruthless, and fled directly into the woods, disappearing from Hudson's sight in an instant.

  Failed to do his best, Hudson was not only not annoyed, but extremely happy.

  The arrow just now was just to scare the rebel commander, but he didn't expect to be able to take away a rebel soldier 150 meters away.

   Extra long play?

   In my mind, this thought just flashed across, and immediately took out another sharp arrow and shot it at a rebel leader.

   With a sound of "whoosh", a rebel leader who was a hundred meters away was hit by an arrow and fell down.

   "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

  Within one hundred and fifty meters, anyone who is targeted by him will die. Such a precise hit rate made Hudson suspect that he had become a marksman.
