The bamboo rafts all fell apart and turned into logs. Naturally, the soldiers of the War Legion above were no better.
With loud splashing sounds, many people fell directly into the rapid river without any precautions.
However, there were a few smart war legionnaires who jumped hard before the raft fell apart, and then used their fighting energy to escape from the river and fly in mid-air.
When other soldiers saw this, as long as they didn't sink to the bottom of the river, they immediately imitated the soldiers and wanted to use their fighting spirit to fly into the air.
It's just that these soldiers who were slower to react wanted to escape, but there was no hope.
Because the skeleton soldiers below have been prepared for a long time.
The soldiers who had fallen into the water had just taken off when several withered bones jumped out from below and grabbed their ankles directly.
"Ah, help!"
With the screams, these soldiers were completely pulled into the bottom of the river the next moment.
And when these soldiers fell to the bottom of the river, they were even more shocked to discover that the bottom of the river had long been occupied by dark creatures.
The densely packed dark skeletons have actually covered the bottom of the river.
The reason why those beings with an average height of only 1.89 meters can reach out of the water so easily is because they are stacked on top of each other like stacks of Arhats.
There are so many dark creatures, just looking at them can make one's hair stand on end.
Of course, what they could see was only for a moment, and then due to lack of oxygen and attacks from dark creatures, these war legionnaires who were dragged to the bottom of the river soon lost their lives.
And scenes like this are appearing in large areas on the river at this time.
Of the thousands of rafts, it can be said that few survived, and only about 10% made it to the shore safely.
As for the 90% of soldiers who can survive, only less than 20%.
The incident on the river occurred so suddenly that neither party could react.
After a while, the high priests of the Kingdom of God came back to their senses.
"This... this... wasn't it just that I was dazzled? There was a blackboard skeleton at the bottom of the river!"
Several high priests guarding the bridge spoke in a daze.
Until now they had no idea that Narante had conquered the dark creatures.
"Guys, this is not a dream, because it is indeed a dark creature, and it is also the dark creature of Baron Nalant!"
"Let me tell you, it turns out that Baron Nalant's follow-up plan is dark creatures. It turns out that they have sneaked into the river long ago, waiting to give these intruders a fatal blow!"
Although the several high priests guarding the bridge did not know the origin of the dark creatures, the two high priests who came to support from the Kingdom of the God of Fire did.
"Baron Narante's dark creature?"
"Yes, you also know that in addition to these human invaders, our Io continent and the Holy Continent have also been attacked by the Death Continent..."
Immediately, the two supporting high priests immediately told several people the details of how Nalant conquered the dark creature.
As for them, they were told by High Priest Dagmar and others before.
"There is such a thing. Baron Nalant is so mighty!"
Several high priests of the Kingdom of God were stunned when they heard this. This was the first time they heard that dark creatures could also be subdued.
Compared to the situation where the high priest of the Kingdom of God was happy because of the unexpected incident.
The leader of the invaders on the other side of the river looked as gloomy as water.
Everyone stared at the middle of the river with red eyes and wide eyes, and their lips trembled involuntarily.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, why are there dark creatures here, and they even hide at the bottom of the river to sneak attack on us!"
The several invader commanders still feel like they are dreaming.
Immediately, several people looked at the envoy beside them.
The envoy's expression was equally ugly, but he did not curse as loudly as they did.
Instead, he immediately flew up and headed towards the river bank.
When he came to the river bank, the envoy immediately drew out his long sword and swung it towards the middle of the river.
Boom!
Boom!
As the divine envoy slashed, waves suddenly exploded on the river.
Along with the waves, a lot of dead bones and blood surged up.
These withered bones naturally belong to the Dark Skeletons, and as for the blood, they belong to the War Legionnaires.
After slashing out more than twenty swords in a row, the divine envoy finally stopped with an ugly look on his face.
Because although the power of the sword he slashed was huge, these dark creatures were hiding at the bottom of the river and could not clearly see the target.
Therefore, every sword strike of this divine envoy is just a blind bombardment.
The power is due to the blocking and absorption of the water flow, and it can only damage a straight line affected by the sword light.
To the densely packed dark creatures at the bottom of the river, these more than twenty slashes were not as damaging as a salvo of hundreds of magic cannons.
The divine envoy paused in the air for a moment before returning to his original position.
Only then did the invader commanders dare to ask cautiously, "Master God Envoy, now that the raft has been destroyed, should we increase the support from the stone bridge?"
"Or just let the legionnaires fly from the air to the other side?"
Now that half of the troops are on the other side, the invader leaders have no choice.
It is necessary to find ways to project troops to the battlefield on the other side as much as possible, so as to avoid too many casualties to the soldiers on the other side.
"The stone bridge is still blocked by the enemy for the time being, so let the legionnaires try to fly across the river!"
The envoy responded in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
"Yes, Lord God Envoy!"
Upon hearing this, several invader commanders immediately went to take care of things.
The few soldiers who had escaped from the raft had safely crossed the river after taking off. This is why several intruder leaders thought of a way to let the soldiers fly directly over.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, they would not choose to take such a risk.
Soon, following the instructions, the team that had been waiting for the raft to be loaded on the river received the order and began to use their fighting spirit to fly to the other side of the river.
Of course, for safety reasons, these teams were divided into several groups.
There are a total of five thousand people in each batch, so that accidents can be avoided to the greatest extent.
And soon, the leaders of the invaders had to feel lucky for their caution.
Because just when the first batch of soldiers began to fly over, they flew more than a hundred meters and arrived in the middle of the river.
Suddenly, the originally calm river suddenly began to surge.
The upper bodies of dark skeletons emerged from the river.
Each of these dark skeletons holds either a long bow or a wooden staff.
"Ah, damn, there's an ambush!"
"Everyone, fly over quickly, there is an ambush below!"
Naturally, the legionnaires flying in mid-air were the first to notice the sudden situation on the river.
Then everyone started shouting in panic, and some were even so frightened that they became unstable.
Whoosh whoosh!
Before they could make any further reaction, with a roar one after another, arrows or a few fireballs formed a fire net, covering dozens of meters in the sky.
If it were on flat ground, the attacks from these lowest-level dark creatures would pose no threat to the soldiers of the Sky Knight.
It only takes an easy dodge to avoid it.
But at this time, the soldiers of these war legions were hanging in the air.
To be honest, the flying ability of many soldiers is at the rookie level, and they come with the roar of arrows.
In panic, many of them lost their center of gravity and fell into the river.
Only a few experienced soldiers could stabilize their bodies and fly quickly after dodging.
However, this part only accounts for less than a thousand people out of the five thousand people.
Therefore, apart from these more than a thousand people, there are only hundreds of legionnaires who are smarter.
Wishong received a blow from the Dark Skull, but he did not dare to dodge quickly at will, causing himself to fall.
In the end, of the 5,000-strong invader army, only a mere 1,500 people crossed the river.
All in all, the loss rate actually reached 70%.
"Damn it, how did these dark creatures appear, and why did they deliberately target our war legions!"
Faced with this second wave of defeats, the leaders of the invaders had veins popping out.
It's not like they have never encountered dark creatures, and they have even personally dealt with several invading Death Continents in the past.
In this way, they know that the dark creatures will not deliberately target a certain biological camp, but any living creature they encounter will become their enemy.
But no one could figure it out that in this backward continent, such a strange thing happened.
"Look, there are dark creatures over there!"
At this moment, another intruder leader suddenly exclaimed.
It turned out that in the lower reaches of the river, there were already dense dark creatures slowly approaching the battlefield on the opposite side.
"Damn, there are so many, are all the dark creatures from the entire Death Continent here?"
"Then why have I never heard of those captured soldiers from the Kingdom of God's Guards mentioning it before?"
Seeing those dark creatures appearing, the other invader leaders were frightened.
Because the dark creatures coming from a distance are no longer just low-level dark creatures like dark skeletons.
On the contrary, from low to high, including the abyss maw, dark giant python or dark bone dragon, it is definitely a complete army of dark creatures.
Dark creatures of this size can only mean that this land has been invaded by the Death Continent.
But if there is really an invasion, it is impossible that they have not heard of it before.
"Notify them and ask the legionnaires on the other side of the river to pay attention to the dark creatures, and try to let these Kingdom of God guards encounter the dark creatures head-on!"
At this moment, the envoy issued an order to everyone.
Seeing so many dark creatures appearing, even at this moment, they vaguely felt that maybe it was just a coincidence that the dark skeletons dealt with them before.
Maybe they happened to be crossing the river, so they became the main target of the dark creatures hiding in the river.
"Yes, Lord God Envoy!"
Several invader leaders responded immediately and soon used their horns to warn the teams on the other side.
Of course, despite the warning, they will soon know that everything they do is unnecessary.
Because those dark creatures are completely aimed at them.
Even if they reacted in advance, they deliberately adjusted their formation so that the Kingdom of God’s Guards would face the dark creatures head-on.
But in the end, when those dark creatures arrived close to the Kingdom of God's escorts, they did not attack them.
Instead, they bypassed these Kingdom of God escorts and went straight to the soldiers of the War Legion.
"This...this...dark creature is really a trick from the other side. The dark creature is coming for us!"
As the dark creatures joined the battle group and began to attack the legionnaires, the invader leaders finally confirmed in disbelief that the dark creatures had really formed an alliance with the opposite Kingdom Guards.
"Lord God of War, how did those damn Kingdom Guards do it? How did they make the dark creatures become their allies?"
"Do these kingdoms believe in the damn Void Demon God?"
The leaders of these intruders felt that their outlook on life had collapsed, and they really couldn't understand why such a thing happened.
Of course, the main reason why they find it so difficult to accept is that these dark creatures are not helping them.
For example, the high priests of the Kingdom of God on the opposite side accepted this fact very easily at this time.
And seeing that with the addition of dark creatures, their Kingdom of God's escorts began to gain the upper hand, the high priests of the Kingdom of God were even more astonished.
"This feeling is really amazing. I never thought that one day we would fight side by side with dark creatures!"
"Yeah, this feeling is so amazing. The dark bone dragon just passed over my head. I almost couldn't help but raise my sword to defend myself!"
A group of high priests from the Kingdom of God marveled at each other while fighting.
"By the way, there are also the dark creatures in the river. Although they are only the lowest-level dark skeletons, they have also played the greatest role. They have directly blocked the enemy's ability to cross the river. They have simply made the river an invasion.
The natural chasm of the world."
"Yes, I can only say that Baron Nalant's arrangement is too reasonable and powerful."
"Fortunately, I was just worried about whether Baron Nalant was taking a risk by letting us stay and fight the enemy."
"Now it seems that this is not risky at all, because everything is under the control of Baron Nalant!"
While marveling at this, the high priest of the Kingdom of God did not forget to praise Nalant.
The most important thing is that at this time, the occupation has slowly tilted towards them, and everyone has finally gained confidence in winning.
Now that they have confidence, the previous distrust of Nalant naturally makes everyone feel ashamed.
Whoosh!
But at this moment, a sudden scream interrupted everyone's excited chat.
"No, it was the divine envoy who took action!"
It turns out that the situation turned around a few times.
Because the following teams were unable to cross the river, and there were a large number of dark creatures supporting them, the envoy finally could no longer sit still and prepared to take action himself to complete what he had prepared previously and single-handedly turn the tide of the battle.
Not to mention, with the strength of the divine envoy, it is still possible to reverse the situation of the war at this time.
He first came towards the high priests of the Kingdom of God at the bridge.
Just deal with the high priests of the Kingdom of God, and then defeat the guards of the Kingdom of God blocking the bridge.
The follow-up support of the war legion can be directly across the river. Even if there are so many dark creatures, they may not be able to defeat their war legion.
