The Undead Hero is a death knight riding a horned skeleton horse. He is approaching the city surrounded by middle and high-level soldiers such as corpse witches and vampires, stepping on black smoke. Lin Xiao looks up and looks at him. A familiar cold will hits his spirit. It is the
powerful cold will that he felt in the Undead Ruins that night when he first came. It is now more powerful after being fully awakened.
"Weak human hero, become my subordinate!"
Thick black smoke poured out from behind his tattered cloak. The undead seemed to be stimulated and became more fanatical after his declaration.
He drew out a long sword covered with runes and pointed it. The ghosts and vampires scattered and rushed towards the city wall.
In the back, the corpse wizards in tattered robes raised their bone staffs, black flames surged in their pupils, and waves of mana began to emerge. The skull on the top of the bone staff sent out waves of suction, gathering the death energy around into a vivid black skull. With a swing of the staff, the skull formed by the death energy flew out with a long black smoke, spanning a distance of seven or eight hundred meters and bombarding the top of the city.
Lin Xiao stared coldly at a skull bombarding him, then pulled out his long sword and chopped it down fiercely. With a "bang", the skull exploded to form a ball of dense death energy with a diameter of about ten meters. Those who were in it felt a piercing chill.
This ball of death energy bombardment was cut off by him in advance with one blow, and there was no damage. Dozens of other balls exploded on the city walls and the top of the city one after another. The powerful death energy exploded and impacted a range of ten meters. The subordinates in it were knocked to the ground, but none of them died.
With the bonus of treasures, 30% magic resistance and negative state resistance can make them resist more than half of the damage.
In addition, this impact is range damage, and the damage is shared, so the power is not exaggerated.
But the power of the corpse witch lies in this regular skill, and the damage can be superimposed. If a large number of corpse witches can be gathered to cover the bombardment at the same time, the power will be terrible.
Fortunately, the number of corpse witches in the hands of this undead hero is not large, only forty or fifty in total.
Moreover, after the first wave of bombardment of these corpse witches, Lin Xiao ordered a hundred archers to gather and focus fire and throw in the direction where the corpse witches gathered, and at the same time he personally shot the corpse witches with bows.
The range of the elite archers is lower than the death bombing range of the corpse witches, but if they stand on the city wall and look down and throw, they will exceed the corpse witches, which is enough to reach.
The strongest corpse witches in the hands of this undead hero are these corpse witches. If they can be killed, it will be easy to fight.
As soon as his archers gathered here, the undead hero not only did not retreat, but ordered half of the corpse witches to gather and actually bombarded him.
Lin Xiao was delighted when he saw this. This was a good thing. It directly attracted half of the opponent's long-range firepower.
He immediately controlled the assembled archers to disperse, forming a small team of ten to disperse, so as to avoid being wiped out by a wave of concentrated fire.
At the same time, he stretched out his hand to the sky, and a clear light fell from the sky on all nearby soldiers. All the soldiers affected received a BUFF - attack acceleration: movement speed +50%, attack speed +100%, reaction +100%.
Yes, it was the first-level air-based strategic magic recorded in the magic book - attack acceleration.
This is strategic magic. Not only is the bonus extremely exaggerated, but it is also a large-scale bonus. It consumes five mana points at a time. Lin Xiao now has 100 mana points and can use it 20 times.
Then, he cast the first-level earth-based strategic magic - body shield again.
A BUFF that increases defense by 100% is added to all subordinates in the nearby range.
Then, a large-scale healing spell restores the status of all nearby subordinates to the best, and all injuries are healed.
In another space, Zuo Feng smashed a vampire with a shield in his left hand, and split a ghost that rushed over in half with a sword, turning it into gray gas and dissipating.
Above his head, more than 200 griffins were fighting with more vampires and ghosts in the air. With his powerful strategic attribute bonus, the griffins once directly blocked more than 300 vampires and ghosts.
On the city wall, a large number of archers were pouring arrows madly, and a large number of spearmen were resisting the ghosts and a small number of vampires that rushed over the city. With the
powerful strategic attribute bonus, the spearmen were extremely powerful. They could even block vampires for a short time, but they could not stop the ghost's self-sacrifice.
The half-real and half-illusory ghost jumped over the spearman, with a two-thirds chance of freezing the target, and a one-third chance of directly knocking the target's soul out of the body and killing it instantly. This probability increased with the greater the comparison of the strength of the two sides. If it was higher than the ghost, it would have no power and could be called a cannon fodder killer.
The corpse witches gathered in the distance continuously launched death bombardments at the top of the city, and occasionally cast some evil undead spells, such as fear, weakness, etc., which caused great trouble to the defenders in the city.
The situation seemed to be able to hold up, but Zuo Feng already had a bad feeling in his heart.
He already regretted taking the risk to enter the ruins, but if he didn't come again, the ruins might be snatched away by those players who came in their true bodies. In order to catch up with these players who came in their true bodies, he had to fight hard.
As a result,
he had a hunch that he might still be a little short.
This idea also emerged in Lin Xiao's mind. In terms of the combat power of his subordinates, he felt that he was still a little short. Even if he had a third-level treasure that was quite restraining against the undead, he couldn't narrow the gap between the two hero levels, but fortunately he had a magic book.
The effect of these strategic magics was too great, especially the attack acceleration and group healing, which were simply too practical.
He didn't skimp on his mana at all. He used it whenever the opportunity was right, especially healing. Whenever a subordinate was seriously injured, he immediately pulled him down and used it to maximize the effect when a certain number of wounded soldiers accumulated.
With this group healing skill, he managed to kill all the opponent's corpse wizard troops with the help of nearly 200 archers in the back, and lost about 50 to 60 of his own.
The mutual loss of the second-level troops against the fifth-level troops was almost the same in number, which was still worth it.
Without the long-range bombing of the corpse wizard, his pressure was greatly reduced.
The skeleton zombies were still chiseling the city wall, and the catapults in the distance were still bombing the city wall. Although the city wall was blown into pieces, the corpse wizards were killed too quickly, and they died early, which had an irreplaceable impact on the battle situation.
Apart from these, the only ones who could attack the city were the flying ghosts and vampires.
But the ghost's special skills were directly abolished under the effect of the third-level treasure Crystal Heart. If it was a one-on-one fight, it was estimated that even an elite spearman could not beat it.
And the vampire did not dare to fly to the top of the city at this time.
The undead hero withdrew it and prepared to rush in after the city wall was smashed.
A few minutes later, a section of the city wall was finally blown open by a war catapult. A gap of about two meters was finally opened, and a large number of skeletons rushed over there.
But what greeted them was the defenders led by five fourth-level swordsmen, who firmly blocked the skeletons there.
The fourth-level swordsman was extremely terrifying under the strategic attribute bonus of Lin Xiao. He could easily chop down a skeleton with one sword, and with the support of other troops, he firmly held the gap.
But not long after, the second section of the city wall was blasted open by the catapult, and the other five swordsmen led a part of the spearmen and stone men to guard there to block the skeletons.
It can be predicted that if this continues, the city will be breached sooner or later.
But the premise is that the enemy has enough troops.
After fighting with the corpse witch, the ghost, who can be called a cannon fodder killer, was restrained by the crystal heart, and the advantage of the undead was no longer that great.
Taking advantage of the defensive advantage of the city wall and constantly killing and wounding, thousands of skeletons and zombies have been killed, and the defenders can continue to receive group healing. The war damage is very small, and the strength of both sides is constantly being pulled closer and smaller.
The undead hero also understands the changes in the battle situation, so when the second hole in the city wall was smashed, he raised his sword and roared loudly.
Nearly two hundred vampires and more than three hundred ghosts flew up and formed a long skirmish line to launch a full-scale attack on the city.
Lin Xiao knew that this was the most crucial battle. He raised his sword and shouted to boost morale. He also invited out the two knights who were in reserve at the back.
As a sixth-level extraordinary soldier, these two fully armed knights were the strongest force in the city and the only reliance of the defenders. He had been keeping them in the back to conserve their strength. Now they were just in time for the crucial battle.
When the dense ghosts and vampires rushed to the top of the city, the two knights drew their swords like lightning and stepped forward to cut them. With a flash of sword light, the two vampires were directly split into two and turned into ashes and scattered on the ground. More than
a dozen ghosts rushed to a knight at the same time, but they were directly bounced away and could not rush in. With the addition of the crystal heart, the ghost special effects were directly immune.
Of course, with the force of the sixth-level knight, the ghosts could not do anything to them.
Seeing this, the undead hero roared again, and the ghosts gave up entanglement with the stone men and spearmen and rushed to the archers who were shooting arrows behind.
The vampire also got rid of the opponent with super fast speed, took off into the air and rushed to the archers behind.
"Finally I'm smart for once!"
Lin Xiao complained. The previous operation of the undead hero to let his core corpse wizard fight against the archer was really wise. If it were him, he would not have engaged in the battle.
Now, the core corpse wizard is dead, and there is no long-range.
Although the remaining fourth-level soldiers, vampires, are the highest in rank, the iron men and stone men are not inferior to any fourth-level soldiers when they are upgraded to elite. Archers are also comparable to third-level soldiers when they are upgraded to elite. They are not inferior in individual strength and can fight head-on.
In fact, Lin Xiao's confidence began to swell after the death of the corpse wizard, and his command began to be unrestrained.
The ghost vampire went around and attacked the archers. The prepared spearmen quickly returned to defend. Anyway, the elite archers were able to withstand the attack after the protection shield, and they had group healing, so they could withstand it for a while.
If you look at it from another angle, it's like he used archers as bait to lure ghosts and vampires over, and then besiege them. If
the archers can withstand it, it's called luring, and if they can't, it's a failure.
The result was that they held on, successfully luring the ghosts and vampires, and the spearmen and stone men cooperated to kill a large number of people.
The undead heroes outside the city quickly reacted and ordered a retreat, but at this time, hundreds of ghosts and more than 30 vampires had been killed, and the elite archers also lost 20 to 30 people under the siege. This was a loss that could not be recovered even by healing. After all, the mana was limited, and this spell could not be used all the time.
