Chapter 40 Chapter 35 Death Tide

underground The scorched earth on the Lost Wasteland, the magic army rolled over here like a raging fire. The first large-scale revenge battle against the undead tribe since the slaughter of Moku City, the 80,000 demon army easily swept away in one day at the cost of thousands of people. The 350,000 undead army.When the seraphs rumbled away, their cheers seemed to be echoing in the underground kingdom, leaving only the remains of countless dead souls behind. Go straight down in one go, and hit the Hot Spring Pass at the entrance of Limu Keyi Road!Zigzarit thought so, the elaborate tactics succeeded, and the undead were indeed caught off guard.No trace of the high-level necromancer was found in the Battle of the Lost Wasteland, which shows that Luhua Meiya's attack on the Kufaka Palace did kill a large number of ghouls, and the price of the five thousand flying dragon army was not paid in vain.If we can arrive at Hot Spring Pass in time, we may have a good start, which will make the journey of the demons out of the ground unexpectedly smooth.After entering the Rimky Passage, as long as Jan Tecrida can stick to the Hot Spring Pass and the Seraph can break through the undead gathering area in the Rimky Passage, the central army will be less dangerous, and the demons can avoid being killed in the underground plain. The danger of siege wiped out.

But Lu Huameiya objected to this point: "It is still two thousand miles away from Hot Spring Pass, and it will take nearly two days for the flying dragon army to fly there without stopping. Even if the infantry travel with the speed of the six-winged dragon army, it will take at least ten days. Not as fast as the ghast mages." "The most important thing is that all the elites of the magic army are running fast, and the distance between them and the Chinese army with women, children, old and weak is wide. If an undead army appears from the gap, how to rescue them?" Even Lu Huameiya, who is known for using flying dragons to attack with lightning, objected, maybe Zigzarit should think carefully.

But the flying dragon scouts sent early in the morning have returned, and nearly a million undead tribes are gathering in Hot Spring Pass!But no trace of the evil spirit archmage was found. There is only one fight.Zigzarit punched heavily on the map: "The situation at Thermopylae is like a lost wilderness. It's just that some little evil spirits are driving the undead army to gather first. Is it necessary to wait for the million undead army to arrive after the arrival of the evil spirit master?" , became an almost impenetrable bone wall with evil magic for dozens of miles, and then launched an attack? Arriving a day earlier, maybe there is 100% more hope, it’s not that I’m too impatient, we have no other choice but to take risks.”

"I understand what you mean..." Lu Hua Meiya lowered her head in deep thought, then raised her head again, her lavender hair fluttering, "Then, if you want to go, I will go first! I will keep the fire at Hot Spring Pass burning until you catch up For this reason." Lu Hua Meiya said. "That's it, Luhua Meiya!" Zigzarit didn't want to say more words of gratitude. Huayou Bingsi couldn't help but smile wryly when he received a letter from Zigzalit, knowing that the Seraph Corps was leaving the Chinese army at a speed of nearly two hundred miles a day.Of course he understood Zigzarit's urgency, if the Seraph Army lost its maneuvering strategy, its power would be reduced by half.Sitting and waiting for the enemy was not their original policy, and now that they have received the help of Yustina, the dark power has been restored, and they can no longer drag the Seraphim Dragon Army by their side.Now he can only hope that there is no undead army hiding near the Chinese army.Although the spies sent out reported that there was no trace of the undead army within two hundred miles, those skeleton monsters could come out from under their feet at any time.

At this time, the Idel boys who were striding in the front line of the Chinese army were eager to fight. "Why is the formation of the Seraph in front getting faster and faster? Let's hurry up and catch up." If he provokes in the formation, sneaking into the new formation is only his first step, and he must rush back to the Seraph army. is his final hope. "I don't know, the main force of the Seraph rushed to Hot Spring Pass last night, and the front is just an outpost battalion left by the five thousand for our Chinese army." Campbemis said, "It seems that even They all think that we are walking too slowly, but we have a fart way, we have to wait for the big troops behind."

"What!" Ruo Ruo felt anxious, "It's over, it's over...I've been completely thrown off by the legion, I can't catch up with the war, and I have no chance to make meritorious deeds..." He really felt that the flame in his chest was burning so fast that he couldn't stop jumping, wishing he could jump out now Fly to catch up. "You are in a hurry, let go of my neck!" Campbemis slammed his elbow on his waist. At night, all the Chinese troops set up camp. The camp stretches for hundreds of miles, with hundreds of thousands of fire piles and tens of millions of warning flints placed on the wooden fences that divide the camp. In the eyes of flying dragons patrolling in the sky, it looks like a huge galaxy on the ground. .

"What is the undead army doing now?" Huayou Bingsi stood on the high ground, looking at the magnificent camp.The cavalry patrols galloped back and forth inside and outside the camp, like flowing rocks in a sea of ​​fire.He understands that this scene is both spectacular and fragile. Now, how many of this vast and vibrant fire will continue to shine after the huge darkness strikes? In the camp of the Young Nouveau Army, Campbemis felt that there were fewer and fewer people around him. "Have you all gone to sleep? It's only been a while since we finished eating." A pair of generals came to him, the guy was only fifteen years old, with a childish face and ill-fitting armor.

"The flag collar..." "What's up?" "Many people have sneaked through the fence and ran to the inner camp to find their parents... I just..." "Bastard!" Campbemis jumped up immediately, "go and chase them back immediately!" It's over, too careless, not enough patrols, and such a mistake.Letting so many people leave the camp privately would be beheaded, and Campbemis couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. Abiqiino, the young man who was almost thrown off by the army formation, now sneaked into the dark gap between the battalions.

But when he first joined the army, he obviously underestimated the majesty of the discipline of the magic army. "Crack!" Before he had time to react, a whip hit his back, pulling him far away, his body hurting like it was about to split open. "Which army formation?" The torches were lit up, and a patrolling army on horseback appeared in the darkness.With their riding skills and special horseshoe leather, they gallop in the dark without making a sound. But at this time, there was also a shout from the other side, and the other stragglers were discovered again. "Go back to the formation immediately, or you will be killed immediately!" The cavalry soldier sounded like a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, his voice was fierce but not deep, and he rushed to the other side, really ignoring anyone Ask for names individually.

Abiqi was so painful that he almost didn't want to wake up, but he was afraid that the scout would really kill him when he came back, so he stood up reluctantly, knowing that it was hopeless to find his mother and sister.There are so many camps, how can he find them.Mother also couldn't know that he was whipped, and from then on, she was the only one who suffered so much.The boy couldn't help crying silently in the dark. But another man was not so easily caught back. That is naturally what if.Although his leg is still injured, it is still a trivial matter for him to escape the patrol.The patrol rider's eyes can see things in the dark, but he can see farther. The patrol rider can run silently in the dark, but he can feel the vibration of the ground. Otherwise, how can he be called the son of darkness?

He didn't go towards the inner camp, he ran directly to the outermost Seraph outpost camp some distance from the main camp circle.Maybe there will be his old acquaintance there, maybe he can lend him a fast horse. He ran in the dark open space for several miles between the main camp and the outpost camp, while keeping an eye on the movements of the patrol riders. The lights ahead are getting closer. But at this moment he heard another voice. Rushing, like drizzle on the ground, like countless snakes crawling on the ground. He saw in front of him, between him and the lights of the front camp, countless dry figures stood up—skeleton soldiers! At that moment, a kind of fear penetrated through the pores of his whole body, making him tremble and screaming, because beside him, countless dirt bumps were rising. "Undead Army!" If the whole body trembled, he shouted with all his might. The scouts in the distance heard the shout, but it was too late, he had already been hit by dozens of bone arrows, and he fell down with his horse. The Seraph outpost battalion in the distance seemed to respond immediately, and the attack was also launched at this moment.Suddenly, fire snakes danced wildly in the air, and the cold wind howled. The two sides shot tens of thousands of arrows at each other in an instant. The undead army, which seemed to have suddenly emerged from the night, formed a dense mass, and surrounded the flaming seraphim outpost camp. If he drew his sword and frantically slashed at the skeletons crawling out around him, but those skeletons just kept rushing forward as if they couldn't see him at all. The rockets shot from the magic army camp flew by Ruo, and a cavalry rushed out of the camp. Under the cover of the shooters behind, they wanted to break through the siege, but they were immediately surrounded by a sea of ​​skeleton soldiers.The soldiers in the battalion watched them disappear in this sea of ​​bones in an instant, and they could only shoot the rain of arrows in fear. The magic army's hair stone machine threw fireballs, which rolled on the ground and drew fire paths. The hair stone machines threw fire in different directions, and the fire paths formed a staggered fire net on the ground, but these ordinary flames had no effect on the skeleton soldiers. , Countless bone claws stepped over the fire. If you are still hacking and killing all the way, but you are rushing in the opposite direction to the undead army.Behind him, the undead army has gathered into a dense bone formation, and there is no way to join up with the six-winged dragon army.He had no choice but to rush back to the camp of the new army. Those children who hadn't passed through the battle line were afraid that they would be blown away. At this moment, he suddenly saw a gray-white shadow floating in the air. Without light, it is light, but it absorbs light. This terrifying shadow is slowly spreading its wings like arms. Evil Spirit Archmage!A terrible death magic is about to be unleashed. No!He turned his head to look at the Seraph army fighting in the encirclement. Suddenly a huge black ring covered the camp, and all the flames flickered at that moment. The black light was a ring-shaped smoke, and countless terrifying shadows screamed in the smoke, blowing towards the demon army. Where the black light swept across, the demon army fell down in pieces, and a group of bones immediately stepped over their bodies, and the battle circle shrank. If you rush towards the mage, he seems to be floating in the distance forever, and will never reach the mage. In the new barracks The teenagers have formed a battle formation, holding the knives in their hands tightly, waiting to meet the impact of their first battle. The difference from the sudden attack on the Seraph's battalion was that in front of their battalion, the bones formed an array, a long, white line, with no ends visible, and they were advancing in unison. The palms of the Idel boys were sweating. They wanted to hear the order to charge, because seeing death approaching was more terrifying than rushing to death. Campbemis can't even shed a drop of sweat now. He feels his body is stiff due to tension, and it takes a lot of strength to raise his head.Such a big battle should now be directed by him alone. Should I give the order to charge, to stand firm, or to shoot arrows?Should infantry rank ahead of archers? He didn't know, he'd rather be alone now. Huayou Bingsi stood on the high ground, watching the incident of the fire below, and listening to the constant messages from the Dragon Knight. There is no need for a map, as daylight lies ahead in his mind. At least 200,000 undead troops appeared in the cracks of the company camp as an underground surprise attack. It is believed that the necromancers have used the concealment technique to the limit.There are underground probes in the magic army camp, so the gap between the camps became the place where they gushed out. If he had a real army in his hands, he could go back to his tent and sleep now, and come to hear the results in the morning. Because appearing in the middle of the camp he set up is looking for death, not to mention the flanking and changing of the infantry, the diversion and assault of the cavalry, and the movement of the entire battalion of shield pistolmen... the arrow waterfall between the battalion alone can shoot to death all those who dare to attack. Something that pops up. If in front of him was a company with millions of troops, he would have the confidence to sweep the ground, so why bother to go on an expedition and leave his homeland. But the scale of the magic army only appeared during the Millennium War. When the silver moonlight army of the human race was first established, all future paladins trembled before the black tide of the magic army. It's a pity that there are only the cries of women and children under the feet, shaking the sky endlessly.The guards stabbed the fence with long spears to prevent the crowd from fleeing, and the camp became a cage. For the survival of the group in wartime, all personal dignity is not important. On the edge of the company camp, fierce battles were going on, countless death magics rose there, and the screams were like purgatory. Huayou Bingsi wanted to step on the flying dragon and rush there immediately, but he couldn't. He understood that in the dark, a terrible evil spirit was waiting. But they won't wait forever. ... Suddenly, countless black-winged birds appeared in the sky. They folded their wings and plunged downward. When a flag was high, they suddenly spread out, hovered above the crowd, and suddenly penetrated a person's body, and the person screamed loudly. Then his soul was taken away and turned into a pile of dust. Screaming, crying, trampling on each other, the fire was kicked away, and chaos spread in the camp. The ghast laughed wildly in the air, proud of the horror it had created.But his laughter was only for a moment. Ordinary swords can't kill ghosts, but Huayou Bingsi's sword can.Huayou Bingsi's sword was raised high towards the sky, and clouds began to gather in the stratum, rumbling and rolling, giving birth to light.When the lightning shot straight down, the ghast was wiped out. A frenzied attack was launched against him, and there were at least a hundred medium necromancers and three archmages within a dozen miles. The land under Huayou Bingsi's feet began to crack, and the scene in front of him began to change.The earth opened its bloody mouth and sucked the crowd down.The night was torn apart, and a huge phantom beast rushed out from the flames.The dead letter birds surrounded him like a black cloud, piercing him like a rain of arrows.A wall of bone rose around him, twisting and twisting. All kinds of curses surround him, destabilizing his mind, damaging his body, confusing his eyes and reducing his strength. But Huayou Bingsi is still standing, even if all the rocks around him collapse, the soil under his feet is still faithful. The dead letter bird exploded into black ash as if it hit a mountain, and the phantom beast was stirred into a ball of light in the night by the light of the sharp sword. Amidst the curse, the lightning kept hitting, one hit, two hits... All the evil spirit mages suspected that the curse had returned to them, because they were falling into a nightmare.All the wraith mages were hoping that they could bless and pray that the lightning wouldn't fall on them, because every thunder made them tremble. They backed away into the darkness, staging the next storm of death. No one knows how much power Huayou Bingsi still has. After a hundred lightning bolts, can he still support it? Although he is strong, he is not a god.His armor was broken and his face was covered with blood. The ground beneath his feet is on fire, and if he does not move, he will suffer. Perhaps not all of the dead letter birds were shattered, how many had invaded his soul? "Huayou Bingsi is still standing!" The orderly shouted and passed this sentence to the company. The old and young people in the camp looked up to the high ground. They saw the rock-like shadow and gradually calmed down. down. "Huayou Bingsi is still standing, what are we afraid of?" the mother comforted her children. These children grew up later. They saw the sun. During the long war, whenever they faced a desperate situation, they would say: What are you afraid of? On the top of the mountain, Huayou Bingsi is still standing. The outpost battalion of the Seraph, where the battle broke out at first, has long been without lights, and has become a dead tomb in the sea of ​​undead. In addition to popping up everywhere between the camps, the undead army swarmed in groups from the periphery.Seen from a distance from a high place, the outside of the main wall of the magic village seems to be surrounded by a circle of gray fog, which is frantically gnawing at the wall made of rough wood and stones. The so-called wood in the ground is actually a slow-growing species of half stone and half plant, called rock wood. It only grows a small section after hundreds of years, but it is spread all over the ground in an astonishing amount.There are other plants that can grow without sunlight, but they are much rarer.The rock wood is very heavy, but extremely hard. Due to the semi-lignified interior, it will slowly burn red and red like charcoal after being roasted with a high-temperature flame, and burn from gray-brown to gray-white.The current main wall of the Mozhai is like this. It was burned red by the flames of war, and a long line flickered in the wind, like a spectacular spectacle.But they were still strong enough to crush every Skeleton that swooped up. The first line of Mozu soldiers stabbed out from behind the wall of the Yanmu village with long spears, the archers stood on the wooden platform of the second line and shot arrows outward, and behind them were trebuchets of various sizes, throwing fireballs or boulders outward.The large stones that flew out piled up in front of the wall, hindering the impact of the undead army, and the magic vine seeds thrown by the magic army quickly grew among the stones.The undead army seemed very unaccustomed to walking among these rockery vines, and often stumbled to the ground, the heads of the skeleton soldiers rolled around, and the zombies couldn't find their hands and feet.And then the gravel that flew rapidly smashed them into pieces. But even so, there are still countless undead army swarming in front of the wall. They piled up like hills and climbed towards the high wall. shot down.Some fell in and landed behind the spearmen, and were immediately smashed by the shield hammermen of the magic army.Relying on the solid wall, the main village of the demons has not been washed away for a while. What the magic army feared the most was the undead mages who were floating in the air at that time.Wherever they appear, there will be giant hands of death, sweeping down a large army of demons.When the reserve battalion on the back line saw the gray figure of the undead flashing somewhere, they knew where to prepare to defend. No one knows how many tens of thousands of undead tribes there are, and no one knows how long they will stick to it. There is no day and night underground, and maybe their new day will never come. Until the sound of dragon howling came from the sky. Until a light arrow passed through the body of the ghost mage. The magic army raised their heads and listened to the roar of the dragons. Dragon Army is back! Lu Huameiya drove Liejiao across the air, and below was the boundless gray sea of ​​undead rushing forward. At least one million undead troops surrounded the company.But the target of the flying dragon army was not them, except for throwing the magic fire bombs, they split up and went straight to the necromancers in the air. The necromancers immediately summoned dead letter birds, phantom beasts, and night shadow warriors to resist.But the wyverns rushed past them quickly, shooting magic arrows at the necromancers. Either afraid of the powerful flying dragon, or frightened by Luhua Meiya's voice in Kufaka Palace, the necromancers disappeared into the night. Lu Huameiya knew that it was not time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the necromancers might sneak attack at any time.She led the flying dragon army to patrol back and forth in the air, ready to shoot sharp arrows at any evil spirits she found. But for the army of millions of undead below, the role of the five thousand flying dragon army is limited. The manufacturing process of the magic bomb is complicated, and only specific dragon knights can carry it. You can't throw as many as you want.What's more, the low-flying dragon riders have to beware of the bone spur spears shot out from under the soil. These giant spears about two people high are powered by magic and can shoot nearly a hundred meters into the air. Even a flying dragon, a spear is fatal. What shocked the undead army was the sound of war drums from a distance behind them. The sound of war drums was suddenly covered by the sound of galloping cavalry like a storm. The black tide behind the undead army attacked, and the six-winged dragon army came back. Twenty thousand cavalry rushed into the sea of ​​undead, and the gray tide was torn apart. Although there are millions of undead troops, they are all distributed around the Baili Company Battalion. The undead on a single front cannot withstand the impact of the magic cavalry at all. The six-winged dragon army divided into two groups and swept towards the two wings of the camp. For the undead army with low defense, cavalry on flat ground was their nightmare. But suddenly a bone wall rose from the ground, and the bone spurs pierced through the cavalry, knocking the horse and the knight over. The flying dragon army came to the sky above the cavalry in time, and shot magic arrows into the soil with a strong bow. The soil was arched by the magic explosion, and no necromancer dared to stop in front of the magic cavalry. Wherever the Six-Winged Dragon Banner went, there were thunderous cheers in the camp.Huayou Bingsi understands that it is time. Where the six-winged dragon cavalry rushed, the gate of the village was lowered, the magic army rushed out, and the counterattack immediately began. It is impossible for the Seraph Army and Flying Dragon Army to rush back, because at this time the warning signal should not have arrived in time, and there is only one reason, that is, they have never left!Those who rumbled towards Hot Spring Pass were just a group of suspicious soldiers. But even if the reinforcements returned, the undead army had no intention of retreating, and began to give up attacking the wall and attack the Seraph army. The sea of ​​undead in front of the cavalry was getting bigger and bigger, and they would soon be engulfed in it. The counterattack troops of each battalion charged out from behind the undead, covering their retreat. Although the magic of the undead mages is terrible, they don't seem to have attended the War College, tactics are not the director of the undead army, not to mention that the mages have been killed to pieces.The undead army is a puppet army that is being manipulated. When there are not enough mages, they often don't have a team to protect them.But the tens of thousands of people suddenly turned their heads neatly, as if they were countless shadows of a single person, enough to frighten some recruits who have not experienced a big battle. The scuffle continued for another day, and almost all the men of the Idel tribe rushed out to fight, and young women and children over the age of fourteen began to be required to guard the wall. At some point, the demons whose eyes were bloodshot from killing found that the undead around them began to thin out. The undead army gradually receded into the darkness in the distance. This time the tide of death has finally subsided for the time being. I don't know when the ground became so uneven. There are countless corpses. In this battle, the demons kept Dazhai, and hundreds of thousands of people joined the battle, annihilating about 400,000 undead troops, but they also suffered tens of thousands of strong casualties. The undead army and mages who secretly attacked the inner camp also killed two There are more than ten thousand people, old and young. Compared with the smooth battle of the Lost Wasteland, this battle really made the demons see the horror of the undead army. The tide of death was once used by the human race on the ground to describe the demon army, but at that time, the undead army and the demon army were allies. Now, the devil himself has experienced the fear of this tide. But what's really scary is that you don't know when the waves of death will come again. Foreseeing that the undead army might be hiding around, but unable to detect where the undead are, the four generals came up with a strategy of the six-winged dragon army pretending to attack Wenquanguan to lure the undead army to appear.But no one thought that there were so many undead armies hidden around them!The most cautious Yang Tekrida once thought that there were only 200,000 hidden undead at most. Could it be that they have been following around them since the demons left the city? There are still at least half a million undead troops hiding in the dark mountains and underground around Dazhai, but perhaps because too many ghost mages have been killed, they dare not launch the next round of attack for the time being. Should the demons stick to it or break out?If they encounter a surprise attack by the undead army during the march, it may really cause a big collapse. But sticking to it means waiting for all the undead from the underground to gather here. Even if the devil appears at that time, they will not be able to rush out. The four generals didn't talk for too long, and the demons set off again. Moving forward, there are ten thousand possible endings, but fear and hesitation, there is only one ending. The Idel people who are on the move always have a kind of auditory hallucination, and they can hear a rumbling sound in the distance, like a mountain stream, or the footsteps of a million troops.
