Chapter 47: Into the Night (First Update, Asking for Monthly Pass Support)
It's tonight.
Rod looked up at the sky, a routine move he had to do almost every day after the battle began. Whenever he saw the moon rising and setting, Rhodes couldn't help but concentrate, he strode up the city wall, only to see that on the city wall, it was already densely packed with soldiers, they stood on the edge of the city wall with gloomy and serious faces, holding a longbow in their hands, and placed arrows soaked in fire oil and magic arrows all over the body, at first glance, it seemed that there was no difference from before, but as long as you look closely, you will find that this time there are more characters in the crowd who have not appeared before.
The horn angel stood quietly at the back of the crowd with a pure white horn in his hand, his white wings completely folded, and at first glance he was no different from a human. And at this moment, within the towering circular tower, for the first time, the angels of the dawn unloaded the heavy crossbow that had been carrying behind them, flattened them, and aimed forward. Seeing Rod's appearance, the soldiers couldn't help but look at him, they knew very well that if it weren't for this fortress, if it wasn't for this lord to lead them, it would be impossible for them to resist in front of the undead legion for so long. Although this lord has always been unsmiling and looks difficult to get close to, but at this moment, seeing Rod's expressionless face, the soldiers felt that their original nervous mood suddenly relaxed a lot——— the existence of this young lord itself seemed to tell them that everything was normal and there was nothing to worry about.
Rhodes walked up to the high platform in the middle of the city wall and looked ahead, the night was getting darker, and the cold wind was howling. There was no snow today, and the bright moonlight fell from the sky, intertwining with the sacred pillars of light rising from the fortress and the ornate circle suspended in the sky, bringing a dreamlike beauty. But Rhodes is well aware. It will soon be the worst nightmare and the bloodiest battlefield.
Thinking of this, Rhodes looked around, this time he dispatched almost all of his subordinates, and even Anne, who had been in charge of protecting others in the rear, was also transferred to the front, and at this decisive moment, the strength of his side was a little more. Annie is also level fifty no matter how she says it, and as a half-beast elite shield warrior, her strength is definitely not to be underestimated. At this moment, Anne was standing on the edge of the city wall with her eyes wide open, looking forward excitedly, looking eager to try. It was evident that she had obviously been looking forward to this for a long time.
On the other side, the nobles, led by Sir Bair, were also serious and nervous, and no one was immune from this situation, although they had already experienced more than one battle with the undead. But it's still too immature. In contrast, people like Marlene and Lijie, who have dealt with the undead more than once under the leadership of Rhodes, are unusually calm, and they even have free time to meditate here, it is obvious that they have fully entered and are familiar with the track of fighting the undead, and there is a faint appearance of a player.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Rod smiled slightly in his heart. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked ahead again. Now. He had been alerted by the system, and a large number of undead creatures were sweeping across the land like a tidal wave of bursting embankments, attacking forward. Collund finally made up his mind, so that Rod didn't have to worry about anything anymore. Everything that can be prepared has been prepared in place, and next. It depends on whose trump card can come out to the bottom!
"Uh............ Woo.................. Woo........................!!! ”
At the same time that Rhodes made up his mind, a low and mournful trumpet sounded from the darkness ahead, as if the wailing sound of countless people were suffering from painful punishment and torture echoed throughout the land, and hearing this strange trumpet, the soldiers on the city wall suddenly moved. They bent their bows and arrows, staring ahead. And the originally calm divine pillar of light suddenly rose up as if it was echoing the sound of this evil and death-filled aura.
Silvery, soft light sprinkled forward, but soon hit the pitch-black barrier, and soon, the natural black receded like a tide, replaced by the figures of the undead hidden in it, they emerged from the darkness, the soul flames flickering in the empty eye sockets were as cold as ever, although they had entered the scope of the anti-death enchantment, the divine power was penetrating the bodies of these undead creatures like a needle, but they still did not say anything, for them, there was only one mission, that is, death.
However, it was not the undead army on the ground that attacked first.
"Quack————!!"
The black clouds of bone griffons and gargoyles bore the brunt of the divine light, and they swept away with the flick of their wings as if they were dark clouds blown by the wind. Under the icy cold wind, you can even faintly smell the smell of fishy rot. They circled in the air, then howled and threw themselves down the walls.
This is the aerial assault that the undead army is best at, but Rhodes knows that his real killing move is not even the claws of the skeleton griffin and the brute force of the gargoyle, but the vampiric species hidden within. Almost all of the vampires are natural combatants, and they are a great threat when they ambush and hide in the dark. And unlike the Dark Elves, these vampires also have the ability to turn their prey into zombies, and although the living dead are slow, it is not pleasant to watch their companions transform into monsters. And this is also one of the most useful trump tricks used by the undead army to break through the strong city defenses, in fact, in the first time in the face of this kind of pure air attack, Rhodes's soldiers were also panicked, but now, they have been prepared. Although these people have not experienced too many battles with the undead, for Rod, the tactics of the undead legion, whether it is before or after improvement, are a trivial matter for him——— don't underestimate the strength of the player.
"Stand back! Release the light curtain!! ”
"Warrior protection, spirit master preparation!"
Seeing those monsters falling from the sky, the city wall immediately resounded with shouts one after another, and soon I saw soldiers gathered around the spirit master, holding up their shields and long swords, and behind them were the archers who had already drawn their longbows, and the spirit masters who were protected in them quickly raised their hands high. As they moved, they saw a series of radiant rays, as if the curtain of light barrier appeared out of thin air, this is a variant of illumination, the curtain of light. It doesn't have much protection or lethality, but it has a first-class effect when it comes to lighting. I saw that the light curtains were connected one after another. The entire fortress walls suddenly seemed to be illuminated by countless searchlights.
Although the Curtain of Light itself is not lethal, as a divine spiritual technique released by a spirit master, it also has the power of divine brilliance. For human beings, this kind of brilliance full of divine power may be dazzling, but it is not impossible to look at directly, it is more like the light of an incandescent lamp. But for the undead, it's like looking at the sun without sunglasses. I saw that with the explosion of the light curtain, the bone griffin bore the brunt of the scream, after all, they were just low-level undead creatures. At this moment, he was illuminated by such a dazzling divine light, and suddenly instinctively flapped his wings and stopped, and tried to fly backwards in a panic.
But in this way, the originally neatly organized team immediately appeared in chaos, compared to the chaos of the skeleton griffin, the gargoyles obviously did not care if there was any divine light in front of them, they still rushed towards the lower part of the body according to the order, and in this way. The whole team suddenly became disjointed. The skeletal griffons shrouded in the outside desperately retreated, while the gargoyles inside continued to move on. This made the whole team look like a peeled banana, and under the light of the light curtain, a large area of darkness with a little soul light on the outside quickly retreated, and the core force composed of gargoyles and vampires inside was completely exposed.
Gargoyles don't react to this, but vampires don't, they are hiding among gargoyles and skeleton griffins. The type that came to fight with the help of darkness to hide his form, but now the entire fortress is illuminated by the Curtain of Light and the Statue of the Holy Maiden as bright as day, although this is not really sunlight, so that the vampire species will not die due to spontaneous combustion. But for them, the divine aura and dazzling light of the Death Prevention Barrier are still their great enemies.
“Wintuyor!!”
And at the same time that the gargoyles and vampires were stripped from the cover of the skeletal griffin. The spellcasters also began to move, only to see that Marlene, Serena and the leaders, including the mages brought by the nobles and the sea elves led by Agapy, were all chanting loudly at this moment, and with their movements, they saw that the originally calm moat water suddenly surged at this moment, and one after another water columns rose into the sky, like water snakes impacting the black clouds that had been peeled off.
"Ahh!!h
To gargoyles, these columns of water are nothing, but to vampires they are painful. Soon, under the impact of the water column, several pitch-black figures fell from the sky with screams, and due to the blessing of the Holy Maiden Statue, all the water sources in the area it covered were attached to the holy water characteristics at this moment. This water source filled with divine power has no negative impact on humans, but it is as terrifying as sulfuric acid to the undead, especially pure undead like the Vampires. I saw that under the impact of a column of water, the vampire species suddenly lost their original balance, the holy water eroded their skin, and the naked eye could even see those vampire seeds covering their faces with their hands, and the wings behind them were rotten and deteriorating, and they were covered in white smoke, so they fell directly down and fell heavily to the ground. Even if the vampire species are called undead, they will definitely not be able to fall to the ground defenselessly from high in the air. For a while, I saw a lot of bloodsuckers fall to the ground like this, like flattened frogs, the flesh and blood are blurred, and some of them are even unlucky to fall directly into the moat, and then they howl miserably and turn into white smoke and are completely corroded to the point that there is not even scum left. Even if some of them barely managed to escape the great difficulties and finally climbed the city wall, they immediately fell into bad luck in front of the sharp blades that had already been prepared. Although in terms of average strength, the average level of both gargoyles and vampires is higher than that of humans, but under the suppression of the anti-death barrier, they can't even exert half of their strength. On the other hand, under the light of the statue of the Holy Maiden, the soldiers on the city wall were more confident and courageous to attack the enemy in front of them.
In addition, the effect bonus of [Harvest Land] brought by the Phantom Ball has also subtly played a lot of role in these soldiers, in the case of doubling the speed of upgrading and upgrading, after several battles with the undead, at this moment, almost all of the soldiers under Rhodes have nearly forty levels of strength, coupled with the "inhumane" training of small bubble gum and canary, so that they still have the strength to fight in the face of this overwhelming enemy.
Under the double impact of the light curtain and the water column, the air forces of the undead army were gradually crumbling, the skeleton griffons wailing and retreating, and the vampires screaming and trying to flee, but then an overwhelming rain of arrows whistled by, enveloping them. With the retreat and collapse of the bone griffin and the vampire species, the only remaining gargoyle does not have much of a threat, as an alchemy creature, the gargoyle itself has no intelligence, so naturally it will not save time and make a moderate choice. Soon, they were alone and united with the soldiers who were already on the city walls. However, the gargoyle itself is not very strong, and most of the general mass-produced models are only around level 15 to 20. Although their bodies were very hard, they were nothing to soldiers who were already approaching the elite stage of level forty. Soon I saw gargoyles being dismantled and tumbling down from the city walls.
But that's just the beginning.
The undead legions on the ground were completely blind to the chaos in the air, and they still moved forward silently and quickly, like angry waves, rushing towards the solid embankment in front of them. Seeing the scene in front of him, Rod squinted his eyes, he held the hilt of his sword, and at the same time secretly calculated, and at this time, in Rode's eyes, he suddenly saw a blood-colored light flashing from the black "cloud", and then, bright red lightning shot through, hitting the city wall hard, accompanied by a violent explosion, for a while, I saw that the soldiers there suddenly turned on their backs. Then, I saw a middle-aged, dressed in gorgeous clothes, a pale vampire came out of it, he held a long sword in his hand, and his eyes flashed with a little red light.
Duran? The vampire count himself went into battle? It's a lot of fun.
Seeing this scene, Rod snorted coldly, he stretched out his left hand and waved it vigorously, and soon, the black mist dispersed, and the figure of Selestina appeared.
"Over to you, Celestina, kill that old immortal!" (To be continued......)
