Chapter 68: Air Support

As the altitude of the floating ship became lower and lower, everyone saw the battle situation in front of them more and more clearly. It can be seen that the first line of defense in Dragon Canyon is already a little crumbling, these undead creatures are not high-level units, not even the death knights and bone trolls riding nightmares. The double flanking of the skeleton griffin and the skeleton soldier was enough to keep the soldiers on the defensive line scrambling. Although they work very hard, there are limitations in manpower. The walls are much lower than Rhodes' Land of Atonement Fortress, just over three meters high. Those skeleton warriors didn't even need siege ladders at all, but directly used their bodies to pile up, and they were already about to pile up one path after another. Not to mention the agile ghouls, many skeletal warriors could already be seen rushing up the city walls, and from time to time some soldiers fell to the ground screaming. Although they are still holding on for now, judging from the battle situation below, defeat is only a matter of time.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Seeing this scene in front of her, Marlene couldn't help but gasp, only by seeing the embarrassment of the other defense lines with her own eyes can she appreciate how strong and powerful Rhodes's fortress of the Land of Atonement is, if it weren't for the tall walls and moats, I'm afraid that when they faced the large-scale attack of the undead before, they would be as embarrassed as here. No, maybe it's not as good as here, in any case, Dragon Canyon is a defense line that has been in operation for many years, but there are three to fifty thousand soldiers in charge of guarding it all year round, which is almost several times the number of the Land of Atonement Fortress, and unlike those rookie recruits, the soldiers here are seasoned veterans, and the armor and weapons they are equipped with are the best equipment that the Shania family can provide. But at this moment, in the face of the attack of the undead army. Even they looked so embarrassed. According to Marlene's observations, the number of undead troops attacking this time was only about 10,000 to 20,000.

However, it was this undead legion of less than 20,000 that made the entire defense line crumbling.

Because there is no death-proof barrier, and there is no divine power to help, those who are in Marlene. The Bone Warriors, who looked like they were going to be shattered by a beating, finally showed their great strength at this time, although on the surface, these Bone Warriors only looked like they had bone frames, and they couldn't help but be weak. But in fact, since they were shaped by soul fire, the bones were a hundred times harder than welded steel pipes, and it was impossible for ordinary people to know where the soul center of the Dao Skeleton Warriors was, and blind attacks would bring them the threat of death. Marlene saw a warrior stab the body of a skeletal warrior with a sword, but his sword was stuck between the opponent's ribs. Before he could withdraw his sword, the skeletal warrior stepped forward and lowered his sword, and then saw the warrior fall to the ground without a sound.

"Boom, boom!!"

Soon, the magic cannons defending the walls opened fire again, but their numbers were clearly too small, in front of the undead army that had been completely spread out. The only effect that these dozen magic cannons can play is to stir up a little wave in the undead army.

"Are these skeletons so powerful?"

Seeing this scene in front of her, Anne's eyes widened in surprise.

"At the time of the Land of Atonement. Aren't they shattered when struck? ”

"That's because the Death Prevention Barrier weakens the soul power used to strengthen the body of the Bone Warrior, so they become so fragile in the Land of Atonement, and in fact, this is the true strength of the Bone Warrior." Standing at the bow of the boat, Rhodes heard Anne's startled words and turned to explain to them. It's better for them to see for themselves than to go out and encounter the undead in the future, and clean up according to their experience in the Land of Atonement.

"Not only that, but it's pure soul power. Therefore, the Bone Warrior's body is also very resistant to magic, and in this state, unless it is a spell of the upper level of the outer ring, you can't do any damage to it. Moreover, the soul power used to maintain the bone warrior is quite powerful, and if you can't completely defeat all the soul power enveloped in its body with a single blow, then the remaining soul power will also manipulate its limbs to continue attacking, like this. ”

As he spoke, Rhodes pointed to the defensive line, and happened to see a soldier shattering the skeleton soldier, but his damage was obviously not enough to completely kill the undead creature, only to see that the skeleton warrior with only the upper body was actually faster, crawling with two hands and pounced on the soldier in front of him, facing this scene in front of him, the soldier obviously did not have the slightest psychological preparation, and soon he screamed and was thrown to the ground by the bone frame, and then there was no more sound.

"Wow, that's a hassle."

Seeing this scene in front of her, Anne frowned and complained. However, Rod knew that this didn't really make a difference to Anne. She is now level fifty, plus the bonus of the demonic beast bloodline and wind element attributes, even if the death knight comes, it is a question of whether she can block Annie's full force and not die with one blow, these skeleton warriors are really scum with five combat power in front of her, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Rod, it's almost time to get ready for action."

On the contrary, Marlene was very worried at this time, no matter what, this is also the territory of the Senia family, and those who died were the soldiers of the Shania family, although Marlene is not yet the official patriarch, but watching the soldiers in the family die like consumables, she is obviously a little unbearable.

"Almost."

Hearing Marlene's words, Rhodes calculated the approximate range and time, then nodded, and then he raised his hand and gestured to the captain.

"Open the cargo hold."

"Open Cargo Hold β€”β€”β€”β€”!!"

Hearing Rod's order, the captain hurriedly shouted into the microphone next to him, and soon, he saw that the floating merchant ship in front of him began to gradually changeβ€”β€”β€” the bottom of the cabin that was originally closely connected began to spread out to the sides like an open wallet, and soon, the statue of the Holy Maiden emerged from it, it was firmly bound with a rope made of steel thread with magic, and the head, body and legs were firmly bound. It hung horizontally in the cabin. At this moment, with the relaxation of the rope, the statue of the Holy Maiden that was originally hanging horizontally was gradually erected. Then, with the sound of gears running, the deck above the cargo ship gradually opened, and in a short time, the statue of the Holy Maiden was erected in the middle of the deck of the floating merchant ship.

"Slow down, get ready to stop β€”β€”!!"

With the captain's order, the floating merchant ship gradually slowed down. Fortunately, since each defense line of the Principality of Moon was established at the beginning of the need for reinforcements from the magic guide fleet, most of the positions of the defense line and fortress were covered by the wind tide, otherwise I am afraid that Rhodes and they would only be able to watch the fire from the other side now.

Looking at the defense line in front of him, Rhodes narrowed his eyes, he reached out and played with the ring in his hand, which was as white as jade, and continued. His brow furrowed slightly.

"Die!!"

The old man in armor shouted and waved the flail in his hand, and the heavy flail whistled by, knocking a skeleton warrior to pieces, and the old man did not stop his movements, on the contrary, he made a wrong step, and the chain sword in his hand swept to the side, only to hear the sound of flesh collapsing. A pitch-black ghoul whined and flew upside down, crashing beneath the walls. There was no trace of him. Seeing this scene, the old man laughed, and then he turned around suddenly, and the flail in his hand flew over again, grazing the scalp of a young man who was screaming and squatting.

"Wow, ah, ah, ah!! Are you trying to kill me, my lord? ”

"Nonsense. Where do I have this spare time, I can't kill those undead creatures! ”

Hearing the words of his attendant, the old man's eyes widened.

"What are you doing here, what's the ?!! the?"

"Great, sir. This line of defense is almost untenable, let's quickly evacuate to the second line of defense, Lord Kuba, they are ready, just waiting for you........."

"Bah, do you think I'm that fool who didn't plant in Kuba? There are no cowards in the men of our Hines family, no failures in our dictionary! Lao Tzu has already led people to repel this group of eight lambs thirty times, and he doesn't mind repelling thirty more times, you have this kung fu to raise your hands here to surrender, it's better to hurry up and help Lao Tzu kill a few undead creatures, move fast, be careful that Lao Tzu throws you down and feeds that group of bones!! ”

"Ah, yes, yes! My lord!! ”

Hearing the old man's angry shout, the attendant hurriedly picked up the long sword in his hand tremblingly, rushed forward, and joined the team guarding the city wall. And this time, the old man did not immediately rush in to prepare for battle, but squinted his eyes and looked at the battle line in front of him. In fact, he doesn't need his attendants to talk much, as a veteran of the battlefield, he naturally understands that the current defense line is about to be undefended, but will he give up like this? What are you kidding, if you can drag on here for a moment, I won't back down! Thinking of this, the old man widened his eyes, shouted loudly, waved the flail, and rushed forward.

"Boom!!"

And at this moment, suddenly, a dazzling light pierced the dark night sky.

What happened?

Even the old man, at this time, involuntarily turned his head and looked in the direction of the light, he didn't remember that there was such a big battle in the defense line of that fool in Kuba, even if it was a magic cannon, it was not so brightβ€”β€”β€” but soon, the old man saw a silver-white pillar of light, shining in the night sky, beautiful, holy light like a fountain gushing down the water flow enveloped the entire night sky, and merged with the protection of the dragon soul of light. And with the diffusion of this dazzling brilliance, the old man only felt that the stench of air that had been made by the group of bones suddenly became sober. Not only that, but his body, which was originally tired from continuous battles, actually regained its strength again at this time!

"Holy Soul above, what's going on?"

The old man turned his head in a daze, not only did they feel the powerful force, but the offensive of the undead legions that had been attacking like a tide also stagnated, and they slowed down a lot. Even those skeleton soldiers didn't seem to be as brave and terrifying as before, but even their movements became sluggish. I don't know exactly what this is all about, but it's clear that the situation is in my favor. So the old man did not hesitate any longer, and immediately raised the flail, shouted and rushed forward.

"The Holy Soul is above! For Moon's sake, boys follow me!! ”

"Oh!!"

Hearing the voice of the old general, the soldiers defending the city wall immediately cheered up, just like the old man, although they didn't know what was going on with this sudden pillar of light, but it was obvious that they had given themselves the strength and courage to defeat the undead legion, and the soldiers at this moment immediately cheered up and began to resist the attack of the undead legion again. At this time, these soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that their opponents were much weaker than before. The skeleton, which was originally as hard as steel, was like tofu scum at this time. And even if someone is unfortunately injured, the wound is not as dark as before, and the whole body is weak. For a while, the morale of the army defending the city increased greatly, and there was even a vague intention to completely suppress the undead creatures.

"What's that?"

At the same time, on the other side, the necromancer who led the undead legion also looked in amazement at the overwhelming tide of light that spread in all directions. It was confident that it would be able to capture this line this evening and then take advantage of the situation to attack, and maybe advance to the enemy's base camp before dawn. But now, under this strange tide of light, it seems that his plan has completely come to naught. Not only that, but to the surprise and horror of the necromancer, it found that its spell had actually weakened under the shroud of this tide of light, and not only that, but the whole air was filled with a pain that seemed like a pinprick to it! This surprised the necromancer, who would never feel physical pain without losing his body, which meant that it was an attack directly from the soul level!!

Wait a minute!

Thinking of this, the necromancer's face suddenly changed. It suddenly remembered the information it had received earlier.

Isn't that right, is it? But how is this possible? Doesn't that thing say it's in the Land of Atonement?!

Before the necromancer could figure out what was going on, the mutation was back up.

Lines of golden light whistled across the night sky, outlining an incomparably exquisite array of ornate spells, from which sacred runes emerged. The necromancer looked up, his staff of bones in his hand, staring horrified at the runes of the power of primordial rules made up of luxurious circles that appeared above the night sky.

β€œAumositerlor”

In the next moment, the whistling, rushing torrent of light swallowed it up and disappeared. (To be continued......)
