Chapter 288: The Power of the Necromancer (Part I)

"Don't worry, the thieves don't make it. "Saleen is very calm. His vision is higher. Compared to Rex's swordsman battalion, the average thief Bessho is not even as good as Aini's private soldiers.

The thieves have a numerical advantage, but Saleen has enough weapons.

"Get rid of the thieves in the town first. "Aini couldn't sit still, his cargo was more vulnerable to loss than Shaman's, Shaman was transporting armor, and he was transporting Warcraft. It's okay to say that this kind of demonic beast specially used for domestication, once it dies, its value plummets.

"Want to help?" asked Shaman.

"Leave two hundred men to defend, and the rest of the men will drive the thieves of the town south. If those people resist, do it. "These thieves are disguised as residents, and there are no nobles in either caravan, and if you want to kill, you have to show your flaws to the other party.

Thieves are not only robbers, but also framed crimes.

Ani went in a rage, and he didn't even notice that the people in the town were disguised, which was really embarrassing. He said that the other party resisted and then made a move, but in fact he had already made a murderous intent.

Bringing his fifty own soldiers, Aini spent another ten minutes summoning fifty skeletons, and then asked the swordsman disguised as a mercenary to hold back. Began to go door-to-door to evict thieves.

From the very beginning, Ani started to do it, and his own soldiers were all lightly armored knights, and the weapons were all bladed spears, which were very useful for stepping down immediately. That family is four middle-aged men, at this time Aini even if he is stupid to understand, the war is chaotic, if there are weak people left in the family, it is better to say, these four men are thick and powerful, and the position of the callouse on their hands is simply left by the perennial use of weapons.

Twelve skeletons swarmed up, and every third skeleton surrounded one person, and Aini's cavalry launched a charge at a distance of more than ten meters. Ordinary horses can't speed up at this distance, but Aini's cavalry doesn't rely on the impact of their horses to kill the enemy, and their blades and guns are in their right hands, and they charge almost in a line.

Blood rushed into the sky, and the speed of the cavalry was not fast, but the four men were also surrounded by skeletons and could not move. The skeleton's combat effectiveness is not good, but it is not afraid of death or damage, as long as it can make the enemy lag for a while.

He killed three households in a row, all of them were men in the prime of life, and the oldest was less than forty years old. Aini was sure that there were no strong people among these people, and they were all ordinary swordsmen.

How could the residents disguised as thieves be willing to let him kill one by one, at this moment, some people had already gathered on the street, blocking the way of Ani and the others from afar.

Anile was delighted, these thieves didn't even have leather armor. He wore cloth armor that had been eliminated from the army. The lifespan of cloth armor is very short, and after the expiration date, the defense power is greatly reduced. The weapons in the hands of these people are also uneven, most of them are long knives, a few use heavy swords, and some use short knives, and more than 200 people do not have a long sword or long weapon. In the hands of the dozen thieves in front of them was a hunting bow, and the range of this hunting bow was only twenty or thirty meters, and it was difficult for even leather armor to penetrate.

Fifty skeletons, under the control of Aini's magic, let out a strange roar and rushed towards the thieves. The thieves were not small, and when they saw these undead, they were not afraid at all, and they brandished their weapons and rushed back.

Aside from these low-level skeletons, Aini doesn't perform high-level magic. Skeletons are enough, these skeletons slow down the enemy's charge, cutting the enemy vertically into four columns. The weapon is slashed on the skeleton, as long as these first-level and second-level skeletons are cut by a swordsman above the intermediate level, a bone will be chopped into pieces, if it is a swordsman, he can basically kill this low-level undead in seconds.

It's just that the thieves have to face a second round of attacks. Aini's cavalry rushed up and rushed through the passage squeezed out by the skeletons, and everywhere they passed, the sound of blood ** seemed to be the gasping of several huge monsters.

The thief's hunting bow was useless against metal armor, and after fifty cavalrymen completely divided the thieves and killed nearly a hundred, the mercenaries behind had arrived.

"Rabble!" Aini waved his hand, and a mage stepped out of the mercenaries and unfolded a scroll, sending dozens of clumps of spider silk down from the sky, sticking to the more than twenty thieves who were stubbornly resisting.

Before the remaining thieves could understand what was going on, the mercenaries had already swarmed him up and shot him dead with arrows.

More than a dozen skeletons survived, and more than thirty skeletons were chopped by thieves with knives and returned to the undead plane. Ani pointed at the newly dead thief, and as he muttered a word, black smoke rose from the corpse, and the thief's corpse moved slightly, and opened his eyes, which were already hollow.

Ani snorted, "Get up!"

With his shout, the thief's corpse staggered to its feet and walked toward Aini. Aini smiled and stopped chanting the incantation, and the living corpse immediately plopped and fell to the ground.

Aini's own soldiers didn't care, and the mercenaries were a little frightened, and one of the mercenaries said, "Lord Aini, is this necromancy?"

"Yes, to cast out evil spirits. The necromancer is able to mobilize the corpses that he has killed to attack the enemy......"

"It's amazing. One of the mercenaries couldn't help but stick out his tongue.

Aini smiled, this mercenary was originally recruited by him, and he had not yet been hooked up with Rex's forces. However, these mercenaries were also trained by him and Daniel, and they usually don't use necromancy in front of them, but when they saw it for the first time today, they were quite calm.

Summoning skeletons and driving corpses away are two different things, and it seems that the latter is more disgusting.

However, this is where the necromancer is most powerful, and in the Shikoku War, the necromancer's team that killed the enemy would drive the corpses to the next town. Even the people controlled by the dark mage are no exception, and once they die, they are equivalent to contributing to the necromancer.

On the other side of the town, Sharman's guards were doing a lot of damage as they drove away the thieves.

When Aini returned to the barracks, he found Sharman puffing up. It turned out that she and Aini divided their troops, and Aini's side simply killed all the thieves, but she lost more than a dozen soldiers.

This is a big victory, but Aini has the undead, and he can make the skeleton soldiers do some of the most dangerous things, and even if they are lost, they can still be summoned next time.

"The town was emptied, and things were just beginning. There is no telling how many thieves there will be outside the city. Sharman ......"

"Hmph, I know, I'll let them cooperate with you. "Shaman is not good at marching and fighting, and now there are too many enemies to exceed her command ability.

"Give the order now, I'm going to arrange for a patrol. ”

Aini smiled, and Sharman had no choice but to call all the soldiers around him and tell them to obey Aini's arrangement.

"The town of Terensu belongs to Baron Terensu, a baron of the first rank, and belongs to Qin Yin. "Nania has sorted out the information. Give it to Salin. These official files were originally memorized by magic, and Nania didn't find them because she was searching for the Phoenix nobles.

This fief of Baron Trensu was north of Phoenix, but in fact it was a nobleman of Qinyin, and this strange thing wasted a little of Nania's time.

"Don't worry about it, we're just crossing the border and we'll deal with it when we get back. Saleen motioned to Nania to be nosy, Baron Trensu wasn't here anyway. This baron is estimated to be the eyeliner of the empire, and Emperor Qin Yin still arranged some cronies in Phoenix, such as Baron Cook.

Chanak the Great is dead, and these agent-like existences no longer mean anything to Rex.

Naria was silent, and Ani discussed it with Saleen and followed Saleen's advice. He transformed the corpses of the slain thieves into undead spirits and blocked the north side of the town.

The city wall of this town is only about 500 meters, and there is a gate in the north and south. Hundreds of undead blocked the North Gate, leaving behind a mage hidden among the mercenaries, and ten of Aini's cavalry.

As night fell, there was a whistling sound outside the town, and the noisy procession approached, and they hesitated to see the north gate wide open.

The person in charge of guarding the north gate immediately sent a signal to Aini, who wanted to take a break, but was also disrupted. He got up and knocked on the door to wake Shaman up. Said: "I will guard the north gate, if there is an attack from the south, you listen to Salin, I will leave a hundred mercenaries for him." ”

Of course, Aini would not say that Saleen was also one of the sponsors of this mercenary, in fact, this mercenary was established by him and Saleen's funds.

The battle started very suddenly, and the thieves were obviously not from the same place, and the command was a little confused. Their equipment was much better than that of the people in the city who disguised themselves as residents, most of them were leather armor, and some of them were metal armor, all of them were swordsmen.

There are thousands of thieves at the North Gate, although disorderly. But the combat power is obviously much higher than the thieves who were killed in the city. However, when a small group of thieves tentatively entered the city, they saw hundreds of corpses standing in the middle of the street, eyeing them.

Some of these corpses are easy to identify, and some of them have their heads cut off in half, and the blood is congealed, and what are the white flowers inside!

The squad of thieves was still hesitating, and the corpses that had been made into undead by Aini had already pounced on them like crazy. A first-level corpse soldier really has no wisdom to speak of. These corpse soldiers don't even use their weapons, relying on sharp nails that grow out of their hands more than a dozen centimeters long.

These nails are highly poisonous, and a little skin can kill a person.

"It's a necromancer! Run away!" shouted a small group of thieves who entered the city gate, and before the corpse soldiers could approach, the thieves were already in chaos. The person who hit the head turned around and ran, and the person behind him was a little stunned, and he was swept to the ground by the fleeing thieves.

The strongest of these people is only an intermediate swordsman, I heard that the enemy is a necromancer, and when he saw the disgusting corpse soldier in front of him, he suddenly lost the courage to fight, and was scared out of the city by Aini.

The speed of the corpse soldiers was a little slow, and by the time they reached the city gate, the thieves had already escaped more than five hundred meters, and they could only see a back.
