Chapter 20 Turning Points
(Please add to bookshelf)
The sound of clicking footsteps quickly approached Baishi Town like a call for life. A series of ferocious and violent ghost howls came out at the same time at this moment, and the surrounding gray fog suddenly became more intense.
It was so dense that the sky began to become hazy, making it difficult for sunlight to shine down. Coupled with the gloomy wind around it, it gave the people on the city wall a sense of despair.
"Bomb them hard! Don't let them come."
Rand shouted loudly, and streaks of fire blasted toward the sea of skeletons. Pieces of bones and debris flew up at this moment. But as time passed, things in the distance began to become hazy, and only a few could be seen.
Pairs of blue will-o'-the-wisps kept beating and approaching, and the surrounding area seemed to turn into a gray ghost realm.
On the city wall, almost 90% of the soldiers fell to the ground and were evolving, while the soldiers who were still standing looked at the endless will-o'-the-wisps outside the city wall, their expressions became extremely ugly, but fortunately here
The artillery ammunition here is still sufficient, although the skeleton soldiers
If you waste some shells, you can still hold them back. As long as you can hold down the evolved people until they stand up, the battle will be somewhat certain. Therefore, the standing soldiers don't have any panic expressions and keep lighting up.
The artillery fired at the will-o'-the-wisp in the distance.
Although the gray fog has become thicker and the vision has become blurry, there are too many skeletons after all. Even if you fire with your eyes closed, it will be shattered into pieces. Therefore, although the sea of skeletons is slowly approaching, it cannot be attacked for a while.
Come up to the city wall.
While some soldiers continued to light the artillery, the soldiers nearby were also staring at the will-o'-the-wisps in the distance. Although these evolved veterans had not encountered such a natural disaster legion before, they still took a breath of air.
Looking along the city wall into the distance, dense blue will-o'-the-wisps filled the eyeballs, and finally spread to the end of the line of sight. Even more blue will-o'-the-wisps emerged, and waves of necromantic energy that extinguished everything shot straight into the sky.
, as if the world is about to die at this moment, it is hard to imagine how many skeletons are gathered outside this city.
Seeing this, Li Luo's heart sank. This undead army obviously still has reinforcements!
"Now we're in trouble. I didn't expect these skeletons to have reinforcements. If these guys on the ground don't wake up, I'm afraid these monsters will rush over." A soldier next to Li Luo said with a solemn expression.
"Don't let the city gate be breached. My son is just one month old. He is a damn undead!" Another soldier wiped his eyes and said with a cry.
Looking at the dense sea of skeletons, he narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be thinking about something. After hearing the words "Don't let the city gate be breached", he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly rushed towards the bottom of the city wall, and soon came to the only
in front of the town gate.
What caught the eye was a pool of blood. A group of soldiers guarding the city gate were all lying on the ground. In front of the city gate, a figure in a black dress was shaking a wheel, and the city gate was slowly lowering.
"You're looking for death!"
Li Luo roared, held the long sword in his hand, stepped on it suddenly, and with a bang, his whole body disappeared on the spot.
Feeling the sound of breaking wind behind him, the figure turned around in admiration, revealing a pale and handsome face.
From the pale face and the fallen group of soldiers, it was not difficult for Li Luo to tell that he was a blood slave. Without any hesitation, he directly activated his fighting spirit, and the long sword in his hand turned into a silver light and pointed directly at the blood slave.
The slave came in a flash.
The blood slave not only did not dodge in the face of the sword light, but instead swiped at him with his backhand claw.
A banging sound.
There was no imaginary scene of cutting off the arm, but after a sound of gold and iron, the blood slave's arm and sword sparked a dazzling spark, and Li Luo and the blood slave were pushed away by the reaction force. .
If you look carefully, you will see that there is a black iron claw on the blood slave's arm. Under the weak sunlight, the iron claw glows with a faint green light. It is obvious that some kind of powerful venom has been applied to it.
After a round of fighting with this blood slave, Li Luo judged the strength of this blood slave. A high-level blood slave was only one step away from being promoted to a vampire! If another person had encountered this monster, he might have fallen here, but If Li Luo met him, he would still be somewhat sure of killing him.
But Li Luo didn't dare to be careless, after all, his melee level was one level weaker than this blood slave's.
Glancing at the half-fallen city gate behind him, Li Luo knew clearly that he could not delay any longer. He saw a look of determination in his eyes, veins popped out on his wrists, and his body spun like a top, swinging in front of the blood slave. Come.
What followed was three silver sword lights, slashing at the blood slave in the shape of three half-moons. In this dim environment, the three sword lights were like three bright moons in the darkness, shining brightly. The pool of blood on the ground reflected three dazzling silver lights, which flashed away.
brush!
The two of them passed each other, and the blood slave's black dress was directly torn with three sword marks, but no blood flowed out. If he looked carefully, he saw that more than three iron rings on the black close-fitting mail armor were broken into pieces.
In this attack, Li Luo added nearly one-third of his fighting spirit. It was a sure-fire move, but it was firmly blocked by the chain armor made of an unknown material.
The blood slave glanced at the broken metal ring on his body, with a hint of fanaticism on his face, and his eyes flashed scarlet, as if a beast that had been hungry for a long time had encountered its prey.
I saw streams of blood gushing out of his body, and his whole body began to shake around him. The speed was so fast that Li Luo could only barely capture the afterimages.
Li Luo's heart moved, and he deliberately exposed a flaw. The blood slave's eyes flashed fiercely, and countless afterimages rushed towards Li Luo almost at the same time.
At this moment, Li Luo spun on the spot, and countless sword rays pierced out. He seemed to have turned into a hedgehog in an instant, and the dense sword rays turned into a silver full moon, firmly protecting Li Luo.
At the same time, due to the inertia of the blood slave, he pounced directly on the sword light, clanging! After a series of sounds of gold and iron, the blood slave flew directly upside down, and blood continued to flow from his body. Even through a layer of chain armor, it was not difficult to tell that Li Luo's move had made countless bloody holes in the blood slave's body.
This blood slave was indeed a monster who was about to become a vampire. He flashed and landed next to a soldier's body. He grabbed the body and bit it down.
After sucking in mouthfuls of plasma, the blood slave's injuries quickly recovered, and at the same time, the eyes he looked at Li Luo were full of ridicule.
But the next moment, Li Luo's actions made his pupils shrink suddenly.
I saw that Li Luo had stretched his left hand behind him at some point. When he put it in front of him again, there was an extra red ball. After giving the blood slave a mocking look, he threw the ball away with his hand. passed.
Then, as if the ball locked onto the blood slave, it burned directly in the air, exploded in the wind, and turned into the size of a football. It was as fast as a cannonball, and hit the high-level blood slave firmly.
.
boom!
Although Li Luo's spiritual sea had not yet fully recovered its mana, the power of the fireball still blew the blood slave and the surrounding corpses apart.
Li Luo endured the feeling of mental exhaustion, quickly ran towards the door control turntable, and started turning it with all his strength.
The handle that originally required five people to work together was easily turned by Li Luo alone, and the city gate was quickly lifted up to protect the entrance again.
At this time, Li Luo took a long breath.
After resting on the spot for a while, another group of soldiers ran down from the city wall.
"Lord Li Luo, what happened?" One of the guard captains asked with a tense look on his face.
Li Luo pointed to a pale head not far away, then pointed to the dead soldier, and said nothing more.
This group of soldiers understood immediately, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
"Lord Li Luo, leave this place to us."
The guard captain glanced at the dead soldiers, picked up the torch on the wall, lit it, and said while swallowing. It was obvious that he felt very unsure when he said these words.
Li Luo waved his hand and said: "I will stay here for the time being. You stay away from me. This is the crimson potion, specially used to restrain vampires. If you are a human race, just drink these potions." After he finished speaking, he threw several bottles of potions towards this person.
The soldiers handed it over.
The soldiers didn't hesitate at all and drank the potions in one gulp, and Li Luo felt relieved.
Then he stopped talking, sat cross-legged, and began to breathe out the Knight's Breathing Technique, quickly regaining his fighting spirit.
After his fighting spirit was almost restored, Li Luo saw that there was no danger here, so he walked up to the city wall again.
Looking around, dense blue will-o'-the-wisps were already approaching the city. Wooden ladders were set up on the city wall, and were pushed away by the surrounding soldiers.
"Quick, there are skeleton soldiers climbing up to the west." Ross shouted from the west wall.
After hearing this, Rand came to the west city wall with a few flashes. The cross sword was drawn out, and the silver sword light flashed. The skulls of each skeleton were cut off before they could stop on the city wall for a few seconds.
Turned into a pile of dead bones and scattered on the ground.
After pushing down the wooden siege ladder on the west side, the freckled young knight attendant on the east side also shouted, "There's an emergency on the east side! Come and support us!"
Rand looked back, his eyes full of anxiety. Now that he ran over, it was obviously too late.
The next moment, to his great relief, Li Luo had returned to the city wall. In a few breaths, he came to the east city wall. With a sweep of sword light, all the skeleton soldiers were cleared away, and several
The old soldier had quick eyesight and quick hands. He endured the chops of the skeleton soldiers and pushed hard, and the wooden siege ladder was pushed down again.
But as more and more wooden siege ladders were erected, even if Li Luo went up to the wall to support, skeleton soldiers kept coming up. Just when Li Luo was extremely anxious, the situation began to take a turn for the worse.
I saw the evolving soldiers who had fallen to the ground standing up one after another. After understanding the surrounding situation, they drew their weapons and rushed towards the skeleton soldiers who were coming up. This kind of skeleton soldiers may be very difficult to deal with civilians.
It's useful, but it's not enough for warriors with a little training.
Everyone slashed at the skull's head, and with bones and debris flying, the skeleton soldiers fell off the city wall one after another. It was obvious that the most dangerous moment had passed.
Chapter completed!
