Chapter 703: The Verge

With Alice's order, a bright red magic projectile shot out from the signal magic item carried by Wiches and exploded in the sky, forming a light as dazzling and eye-catching as the sun.

The magic light lasted for about ten seconds before it gradually dimmed. And in these ten seconds, more than a dozen people from the Red Country had already moved forward quickly, rushing out of more than ten meters.

However, just as the Red Nation forces were about to move away from the Yellow Nation's chaotic forces, in the direction of their rapid retreat, there was a strange Caracalla sound, and one by one the miserable white arms broke through the dirt.

"Captain Allist, look, what's up ahead?" Under the glow of magic overhead, the skeletal arms that stretched out from the ground on the retreat route of the Red Nation stood out in the ground.

"Why, why are there still necromantic creatures here? We've all cleaned it up. Looking at the various humanoid and beast-shaped skeleton monsters crawling out of the earth behind the miserable white skeleton arms, Allist, as the leader of the squad, suddenly became ugly.

It's no wonder that Elis's face has become so ugly, because there are so many skeleton monsters crawling out of the ground in front of them. If it's just a few skeletons, it doesn't matter, even if it's two or three times more, it's not impossible to deal with.

However, the skeleton monsters that appeared on the retreat route of the soldiers of the Red Country now could not be seen at all, and the skeleton monsters that were densely stacked together were not two or three times the size of the Red Country, even if it was twenty or thirty times, or even two or three hundred times, it was not too much.

"I'm afraid these are corpses that were buried in the ground a long time ago, and in the hundreds of years since the Battle for the Crown, countless attacks and accidental injuries have been buried here near this magic gate. Now it's a roadblock to our return, and that's true. ”

After releasing the signal for help, Vitches, who had been following closely behind Allist, after hearing Allist's slightly frightened question, began to observe the skeletons in front of him very calmly, and said his guess.

"Damn, why has there been no problem for hundreds of years, but suddenly it has come out at this time today. What the hell is going on, how the hell are we going to get back? ”

Fiercely poking the weapon in his hand to the ground, Allist's face showed a trace of panic and despair. Although he was appointed as the squad leader to manage the squad for the corpse cleanup this time, Alice did not become the squad leader because of his ability, but because of his popularity.

Allist's own ability is not outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mediocre talent, whether it is management ability or command ability, or even his own combat ability is not strong.

And Allist's own personality is also a relatively timid type, from the chaos just now, Alice decisively gave up the country of Huang and began to lead people to retreat.

Allist's choice to retreat so decisively was not because of how decisive his character was, but because he was worried that he and his comrades would be in danger if he continued to stay there, so he chose to retreat so decisively.

However, although he is a mediocre talent in terms of ability, Alice is not without his own specialties. His specialty is popularity, whether it is a rough comrade-in-arms or an introverted comrade-in-arms, he can chat with Alice very well, and he will soon establish a good relationship.

If the most prestigious of the escort sent by the Red Nation this time is Captain Schwager, then the most popular in this escort is definitely Allist, from Captain Schwager and the leader Teacher Helena, to the ordinary night watch soldiers and the cooks who prepare logistics, he can speak.

"Allist, don't worry. The call for help has been released, and support will come soon, as long as we hold on and protect ourselves, we will be fine. ”

Noticing the panic and despair on Allist's face, Wiches, who was standing beside Allist, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a very affirmative tone. Compared with Allist's panic, Wiches has been very calm.

As Wiches's words came out, the panic on Alex's face finally eased a little. Because Vitches' voice was not deliberately suppressed, it also reached the ears of the surrounding soldiers, and hearing Vitches's words, the tension and fear in the hearts of these soldiers also weakened slightly.

At a time like this, morale is actually a very important thing, and sufficient morale can make these soldiers hold on for a few more seconds, and sometimes, these few seconds may be the key to saving lives.

"They are coming, everyone obeys my command, forms a circle, stands on the periphery with shields to withstand the attacks of these skeleton monsters, and if they don't have a shield, they seize the opportunity to attack me fiercely, don't spare your hands, don't be afraid. After receiving our call for help, the brave will definitely come to our rescue. ”

The soldiers around him were not confused by the number of skeletons, which made Vitches secretly relieved, and he regained some morale while he comforted Alice, which made Vitches even happier.

However, the joy was fleeting, as the skeleton monsters that had crawled out of the ground had finally begun to rush towards them. In the face of the attack of the skeleton monster, Vitches directly seized the command of Alice and began to command the surrounding comrades.

While commanding, Wiches also led by example and stood at the front of the line with his own shield. As Allist's countryman and friend, Wiches is a completely different person from Allist.

Wiches' popularity is not good, if not bad, because his communication skills are very bad. He had been in the army for several years, but he didn't know a few people, even his comrades who lived in a tent were not familiar with him, because he was not the kind of person who was good at talking.

However, Wiches's ability is very good, whether it is the combat command of a small battlefield or his own combat effectiveness is very outstanding. And the soldiers are also very aware of his abilities. Although he is a person who is not easy to talk to, he is a person who deserves their trust.

So, under the command of Vitches, the soldiers were consciously divided into two groups, the one with the shield stood on the outside, forming a circular protective layer, while the rest stood on the inside at any time, ready to vent their attacks on the monsters outside through the gap between the shields.

Boom, with a strong impact, the huge number of skeleton legions finally came into contact with the troops defending the Red Nation Circle. As soon as the two sides made contact, a large number of skeletons were knocked out due to the reaction force of the impact, and the troops of the Red Nation were also rushed back again and again by the powerful impact force.

A big war began at this moment. When the Red Country began to contact the skeleton army, the troops on the Yellow Country side were split in two, one part began to rush towards the zombies to prepare for revenge, while the other part rushed towards the side of the skeleton army.
