Chapter 578: Battle of the Coast (II)
The sound of the waves.
Seeing the retreat of the ghost fleet, a burst of cheers erupted from the city walls. Although everyone knew very well in their hearts that it was impossible for the undead army to leave so easily. But there is always a psychological comfort in being able to see them retreat. Only Montgomery's expression remained unchanged, he knew that this was just the beginning, and it was impossible for the undead army to retreat so easily.
"Whoa......... Whoa........."
The waves crashed against the shore, and I don't know if it was a psychological effect, it seemed that the waves were getting louder and louder. Soon, the people on the city wall also heard this strange sound. I couldn't help but look ahead, but there, there seemed to be nothing but the dark water.
"What's wrong? What's going on? ”
"Will there be a tsunami?"
"Are you blind? Tsunami, how is that possible? The sea has not receded, huh? ”
"Whoa............ Whoa........."
In the midst of the arguments of the crowd, the sound of water grew louder and louder. And it was only at this time that Montgomery finally heard a hint of it. There was something wrong with the sound of the water, it sounded like the sound of the waves, but it felt more like something was wading through the water. Otherwise, the voice wouldn't have been so urgent. Although Montgomery was not familiar with the seaside, he was also used to hearing the sound of waves during these days on the Chaos Coast. The sound of the waves is usually long and slow, one after the other, and it sounds very good. But the sound of the water in front of me was much faster, not like the sound of the waves, but like something wading through the water, and getting closer and closer. Could it be...............
"Holy Light Technique!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Montgomery raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly. As he spoke, a beam of light burst out from the sword in Montgomery's hand. Then a dazzling ball of light formed in the air, and in the blink of an eye, I saw a dazzling light that illuminated the sea in front of me. The thing that was originally hidden in the darkness was completely revealed to everyone. Seeing the scene in front of them, including Montgomery, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
"It's ............!"
I saw that under the light of the holy light, in the clear water, rows of skeleton soldiers were slowly moving forward with weapons covered with aquatic plants and moss. It's as if they're marching on land, walking in the middle of the sea. Look around. Beneath the surface of the sea is an army of the undead who march silently forward. How many of them are there, exactly? Tens? Several hundred thousand? Multimillion? Tens? Or is it more? No, I'm afraid it's more than that...............
The effect of the Holy Light Technique slowly disappeared, and the sea in front of everyone's eyes was once again dark, but at this time, the city wall was already silent, and neither soldiers nor generals could hide the shaking in their hearts. Even Montgomery was solemn at the moment.
That's amazing.........
Although the situation in front of him was unfavorable, Montgomery was still full of emotion for the other party's move. In fact, almost no one thought that the undead would appear in front of them in this way. Although Montgomery was a general, he was a human after all. In fact, it wasn't just him, even others, when anticipating the undead legion's offensive. Almost all of them tend to think that if the other side wants to land on the Chaos Coast, it must be through ships. But they forget that that's what humans think. Not necromancy.
Indeed, in the midst of the necromancy. High-level creatures like vampires and ghosts have little to do with flowing waters. But that doesn't mean that the undead are all afraid of water. In fact, in the middle of the sea, there are ghost ships. The rumors of banshees and water ghosts, they are also undead creatures, aren't they also very moist in the sea?
Montgomery didn't know if the endless undead had come straight from the other side of the coast, or if the ghost fleets had brought them in and "thrown" them into the water. But either way, they now have to face the fact that since the other side's soldiers do not need to be transported by boat, their previous plans are basically nullified. Originally, Montgomery also hoped to be able to use the power of divine protection to destroy as many undead creatures as possible. But now, the plan is on the verge of going bankrupt.
Thinking of this, Montgomery glanced at the crowd around him, and they also thought of this. After all, this is a plan that everyone has decided, and at this moment, sensing Montgomery's gaze, many people are grim-faced, and it is obvious that a battle like this, which is out of the plan from the beginning, everyone knows that the next step is not easy.
But for them, there is only one option at the moment.
"Prepare for battle!!"
Looking at the endless sea of skeletons, Montgomery lowered his voice and gave the order. Almost at the same time, countless skeleton soldiers emerged from the sea, silently clenching their weapons as they stepped onto the shore in unison.
"Boom!!"
Fierce flames erupted from the empty beach in an instant, and then dozens of skeleton soldiers were seen flying high into the sky like this, and the skeletons that had originally used negative energy to combine were completely shattered under such a violent impact, splitting apart and scattering in all directions. In the blink of an eye, a series of fires formed a straight line from one end of the harbor to the other. Explosions thundered one after another, like an entrance to hell, mercilessly devouring anything that dared to break in.
To Jenn, it was a very pleasant sound.
[Destroy a dungeon invader, +15 XP]
[Destroy a dungeon invader, +15 XP]
………………………
Looking at the prompts that frantically flipped up on the screen in front of him, Jenn nodded in satisfaction. The main reason why he was willing to come to the front line to drag Klein's hind legs this time was naturally for his own dungeon. There's nothing easier to farm experience than countless undead. You must know that in the game, the craziest thing for players to brush up on experience was the [Wrath of the Lich King] special mission given by the production team when they were linked to a certain mountain. In the face of the undead creatures that were like a tide, although there were many dungeon lords who watched their homes being demolished with hatred because they were weak enough to resist the opponent's attack. However, there are also many dungeon masters who have gained considerable experience after fending off the undead. Not to mention that the player's creativity is endless, especially in the medium term. After a player named "Sister is My Love" invented the "Lizard Tail Breaker" strategy, the undead have become the best choice for all players to frantically brush up on experience. So much so that when the event ended. Almost one-fifth of players have reached the top by farming the Undead Legion. For a while, there was a sense of defeat at a glance, but it didn't take long. The operation updated the patch with a level increase cap and once again kindly told "Dear players, I am your father".
But here, there shouldn't be anything to update the system.........
Thinking of this, Jenn pursed his lips, then looked in the direction of the shore again.
The sound of explosions continued one after another. The most important feature of the magic trap in the dungeon system is that it cannot be destroyed, it can only be removed. In the game, only the two adventurers with the skill of disarming the trap are able to remove the trap of the dungeon, and the other adventurers are useless. And now in reality. Jenn hadn't seen a thief or ranger successfully disarm his dungeon magic trap. After all, these magic traps simply disappear after they are placed, and unless they are triggered, there will be no trace at all. In this case, the average thief has no way of detecting it at all. And when they find out that something is wrong, it is their time of death.
If it were an ordinary army, I am afraid that it would have already chosen to retreat in the face of such a fierce resistance. But the undead didn't do that, they didn't have fear, and they didn't take their losses to heart, in the minds of these undead. Only forward, forward, and forward. Until all the obstacles and enemies in front of you are crushed, until all the living are completely destroyed. Until they or the world itself are completely dead.
There is no other choice to survive or perish.
The undead legion's reckless onslaught of attrition has finally paid off, though the magic traps are almost constant. But it also takes at least two or three seconds from the explosion to the cooling down to the outbreak again. And the layers of undead don't care about the explosion in front of them, and they don't care that their companions are trampled under their feet and turned into pieces. They just raise weapons and shields. The mechanical one moves on, and dies. Destruction, there is nothing to fear here, and nothing to fear about.
"Are we going to start attacking? My lord? ”
And at this moment, in the trench below the cliff, a heavily armed soldier held the long steel box in his hand, aiming at the undead army in front of him. Although the heavy mask obscured his face, the tense tone revealed his innermost thoughts.
"Shut up!!"
Unfortunately, no sooner had the soldier finished his sentence than Patilina swept his spear and struck him in the head, causing the hapless man to shrink down.
"I said, wait until within three hundred meters before you start, it's still early, you cowards!"
As she spoke, Patilina turned around and glanced at Tinidel and Elise, who were beside Jenn.
"Remember, this is the first time you've shown your face in front of your master, and you've done me a pretty job! Did you hear that? If I see any of you lose my face, I'll just throw him down and feed the undead, and then smash his head with my own hands!! ”
Hearing Patilina's words, everyone shrank their heads and looked ahead intently. They knew very well that this terrible demon king of the mixed world was definitely not just talking casually, and if it really didn't go her way, then he would really die.
And almost at the same time, Jenn also raised his head and glanced at the light curtain in front of him.
It's almost time.
Magic traps also require the mana of the dungeon to be activated, and each activation requires enough mana. An explosive trap requires 50 mana to activate at once, although it's not much. But ten times is five hundred, and besides, Jenn now occupies the entire Endless Harbor. In order to protect his sub-base intact, Jenn has placed tens of thousands of magic traps. In addition to the Explosion Trap, there are also Lightning Traps and Ice Traps. This means that these traps will cost hundreds of thousands of mana points once they are activated. If it is an army of the living, then the large-scale damage and consumption has enough deterrent power. But the undead don't have this kind of consciousness, in fact, now in front of Jenn's eyes, the consumption of mana needs millions a minute, and if this continues, then the magic power on his side, I'm afraid there will be problems.
Thinking of this, Jenn reached out and snapped his fingers. Soon, with his movements, he saw that the inner trap instantly stopped working, leaving only the outermost three-layer explosion trap to resist the enemy. And in this way, the undead legion, which had lost its ferocious firepower, once again showed their formidable might. Despite heavy losses in the explosion, they passed through the outermost line of defense and continued to move forward.
Two thousand meters, one thousand meters.
The explosions were incessant, and the glittering firelight lit up the entire coast, and under the radiance, everyone could clearly see the heart-stopping soul flames of those skeleton soldiers lighting up in the dark eye sockets one by one, like the cold stars in the dark night.
500 meters, 300 meters.........
It wasn't until the skeletal soldiers stepped into the last stone brick on the beach that Patilina suddenly raised her right hand and swung forward.
"Fire!!" (To be continued.) )
