Chapter 74 II: The nightmare is coming!
"Line up to meet the enemy!"
Viscount Harrington, the Lord of Blackstone City, broke into a cold sweat and immediately ordered the imperial army to defend.
The sentries at the front of the battle line stepped forward with their left legs, lowered their bodies, slightly bent their knees, held their shields in front of them with one hand, and made a standard defensive posture, preparing to face the first wave of impact. .
The sentry standing in the second row raised his shield again and placed it on the bottom shield, forming an indestructible shield wall.
at the same time.
They held their spears tightly, placed the sharp spear points above the shield wall, and formed a spear array again!
The shield wall and the gun array are combined to form a line of defense that is both offensive and defensive.
This way.
The enemy will pay an extremely heavy price in the first wave of charge.
"Activate the alchemy turret!"
The giant alchemy turret located behind the battle formation aimed its muzzle at the skeleton army.
When the alchemy shells are loaded, the energy core is activated, and all the runes and magic circuits light up one after another, sending out a heart-stopping fluctuation.
"Boom!"
It was accompanied by a deafening sound.
A large number of alchemical cannonballs were instantly released from the barrel, falling like raindrops on the skeleton army.
These alchemical cannonballs are weapons of war that took hundreds of years to be researched by the empire's alchemists and the Academy of Magic.
There are countless magic runes imprinted on the inside of the cannonball. The high temperature and power generated by the explosion are even enough to kill a large number of Holy Light Knights in an instant!
"Boom!"
The alchemy shells exploded in the skeleton army, tearing all the skeletons within a kilometer into pieces.
The Headless Knights who were charging at the front suffered heavy casualties as those who were bombed fell on their backs.
Many natural disaster skeletons were blown high into the sky before they knew what was happening, and then instantly melted in the high temperature.
Under a round of bombing by the Holy Light Empire.
The originally dense and endless frenzy of skeletons now turned out to be a large blank!
If it were another race facing such heavy casualties, their morale would be greatly reduced and there would be signs of panic and retreat.
But the Scourge Legion is not afraid of death, and they don't even know what death and pain are.
The brave and fearless Calamity Skeletons charged again, filling the gaps in the battlefield with their bodies!
Although the alchemy turret has amazing lethality, it needs to cool down for a long time every time it is activated.
The remaining Headless Knights, as fast as lightning, have rushed to the front of the battle line!
But the shield wall formed by the imperial sentries was impeccable, and many headless horsemen and disaster skeletons seemed to have crashed into a mountain.
The shield wall did not move at all, but they themselves were knocked away.
And above the shield wall, there is a forest of spears.
Countless spears stabbed out continuously, and the sharp spear points penetrated their bodies, turning them into a hornet's nest.
See the skeleton army's offensive blocked.
Viscount Harrington finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition to the most powerful Knights of Holy Light, the other legions of the Holy Light Empire cannot be underestimated.
No exaggeration.
The Imperial Legion can sweep the world with just this formation!
These skeletons seem to be numerous in number, but their strength is only that.
“Count Klaus, it seems that this time I don’t need your Holy Light Knights to take action. My legion alone can solve all the skeletons!”
Viscount Harrington looked at Klaus on the horse and said proudly.
"Really? Then I'll wait for your good news." A trace of sarcasm and disdain flashed in Klaus's eyes.
Compared to an army of tens of millions of skeletons, what is this loss?
What's more, the Frost Bone Dragon and the undead lord in the sky have not taken action yet, how can they be defeated so easily?
As time goes by.
Viscount Harrington's expression gradually became serious and ugly. There is indeed no one who can match the imperial military formation, and these sentries are also the best of the best.
But they are flesh and blood after all!
Facing such a high-intensity battle, no matter how determined they are, they will feel tired and tired!
But these natural disaster skeletons are tireless and not afraid of death.
In order to create opportunities for the Headless Knights, they did not hesitate to use their bodies and bones to block the spears!
Under the attack of the skeleton army regardless of the cost.
This indestructible shield wall finally had a gap!
What shocked Viscount Harrington even more.
As the first sentry fell under the skeleton's butcher's knife.
This is where the nightmare comes!
A six-pointed star magic circle emerged and instantly enveloped the corpse.
Next second.
The sentry came back to life, stood up from the spot again, and without hesitation, pierced the body of his companion with the spear in his hand!
“What happened? Why can these sentries come back to life after being killed?”
"No! This is the devil's method! They have become the devil's puppets!"
Panic and death quickly spread among the Imperial Legion. Without even thinking, Viscount Harrington immediately took his attendants with him. , evacuate to a safe area at the rear of the battle line.
"What kind of power does that undead lord have, and why can he bring the dead back to life?"
A trace of solemnity flashed in Klaus's eyes, but he did not take action immediately, but chose Continue to sit back and watch.
After all, the Knights of Holy Light are also blessed by the power of Holy Light.
Even if they are killed by the enemy, they can still be resurrected from the same place!
“Activate the alchemy turret and blow up these demons for me!”
Viscount Harrington ordered hurriedly with a trembling voice.
"Lord City Lord, there are also soldiers from our empire in the crowd..." someone reminded.
"Ignore those people, fire right away!" Harrington roared almost at the top of his lungs, making it unclear whether he was angry or fearful.
Under Harrington's firm orders.
Dozens of alchemy turrets have been loaded and the energy core is activated again!
“Boom!”
Countless alchemy shells once again rained down on the skeleton army, and the battlefield once again became blank.
Only this time.
The Imperial Legion also suffered heavy casualties, and many sentries were blown away before they had time to react.
The smoke filled the air.
Countless broken limbs and broken arms and rain of blood fell from the sky, making the entire battlefield look extremely tragic, like a purgatory on earth.
It didn’t take long.
The natural disaster army swarmed forward, once again filling the gap on the battlefield.
"Klaus, where are your Knights of Holy Light? How long do you have to wait?!"
Harrington was desperate, looking at Klaus half angry and half asking for help.
"Oh? Viscount Harrington couldn't hold on so quickly? I thought you could hold on for a while longer."
A flash of contempt flashed in Chris's eyes.
But he also understands.
If the entire Imperial Legion is destroyed, even if he wipes out the entire Wasteland of Bones, he will not be able to explain to the Empire.
So.
He took a deep breath and clenched the sword in his hand.
Decided to lead all the Holy Light Knights to end this absurd and boring farce!
