Chapter six hundred and eighteen natural disasters
slgrad city
Because of the addition of Sandru and Aisha, Gru's troops have become slightly richer from the original extremely tight state.
When fighting on the continent of Erathia, no matter which race they are, in addition to the undead, they will try their best to deal with the corpses of their companions. Cremation is the most basic operation. Sometimes some holy water will be sprinkled to prevent the corpses of the dead from being used by the undead.
.
When the two forces were fighting, Dia's necromancers had often done things like sneaking into the battlefield to make some money and take some corpses away.
But on this continent, magic has basically disappeared in the thousand years since the disappearance of the elves, and no force has the awareness to dispose of corpses in time to prevent necromancers.
Many times corpses are disposed of because they are afraid of causing local contamination and causing a plague. However, the war in Sirgrad City is extremely fierce. The orcs have not even disposed of the corpses outside the city. How can they have time to dispose of the corpses in Sirgrad City.
The city of Sirgrad, with corpses piled up everywhere on the streets, has completely become a material warehouse for Sandro and Elsa. In just one day, Sandro and Elsa created an army of tens of thousands of undead.
…
A courtyard outside the city lord's palace
Surrounded by skeleton warriors patrolling back and forth, walking from the gate to the school grounds in the courtyard, there were guards covered with bones and bones along the way. Walking among them felt like accidentally stepping into the world of the dead.
A group of human soldiers struggled to drag a huge dragon corpse to the vicinity of the other courtyard. Then, ignoring the skeleton soldiers with green fire eyes on both sides, they went straight through the gate and sent the corpse all the way to the campus of the other courtyard.
At this time, the school ground was no longer as empty as usual. It seemed a little crowded after more than twenty dragon corpses and a large number of orc warrior corpses were piled up in rows.
"Sir Sandro, this is the last white dragon corpse that can be found in the city. Although at least fifty white dragons were killed in the past few days, most of them fell outside the city and in the city controlled by the orcs."
After the orcs launched a full-scale attack, they had already controlled nearly half of the territory of Sirgler. They were lucky to be able to find twenty white dragon corpses.
"The number is not small, but these white dragons are simply the sea tribe among giant dragons."
Sandro, who was walking on the school ground in a black robe, was looking at the corpses placed on the school ground. His attitude was not as if he was facing each of the corpses, but as if he was selecting merchandise for display.
In the game, the necromancers perform spiritualism by converting the number of dead enemy soldiers into skeleton soldiers in proportion after each battle, but in reality it is of course quite different from the game.
Although Sandro can continuously create an army of the undead, he is still limited by magic power and materials. Some corpses that have been dead for too long or are too damaged cannot be used as materials for spiritualism. Sandro may be able to summon them all at once.
There are thousands of undead warriors, but it is difficult to summon an army of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of undead in an instant. At least it is impossible with the current strength. Otherwise, other forces in Erathia will not have to mix, waiting to be destroyed by Diya.
Unification is all.
Aisha moved around on the battlefield, constantly creating skeleton warriors to supplement various defense lines, while Sandro was waiting in this courtyard for some good materials to be sent over by the defenders.
Apart from the corpses of some strong orcs, the most valuable thing on the battlefield is of course the white dragon that died in the battle some days ago.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the white dragon's corpse, Sandro still walked to the middle of a pile of corpses and began to use spiritualism.
After an obscure but eerie spell, about half of the more than twenty white dragon corpses began to change.
Although he has been dead for two or three days, Bailong's powerful body has not completely lost its activity. Under the influence of spiritualism, the original flesh and blood slipped from Bailong's body, and the hard dragon scales softened immediately after falling to the ground, as if they were brand new.
The sofa leather suddenly aged more than ten years.
When the flesh and blood on the corpse fell to the ground, its original dark red color quickly turned into black and gray, which was comparable to bacon that had been hanging moldy for several years in the south.
But the only remaining white bones have undergone considerable changes. The originally stronger keel bones actually showed a faint luster. Under the influence of magic, all the energy in the flesh and blood was transferred to the keel bones, and the flesh and dragon bones were lost.
After being scaled, this skeleton will face the enemy directly.
Finally, scarlet soul fire ignited in the bone dragon's eye sockets, which looked more aggressive than the light green soul fire of the skeleton warrior.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Half of the white dragons whose corpses were already cold turned into bone dragons under the spiritualism. The first thing when more than a dozen skull dragons got up from the ground was to roar at the sky, announcing their arrival.
Creatures like dragons cannot change their nature even if they become undead.
"It's really incredible."
The officers responsible for transporting the corpse and the surrounding human soldiers looked shocked when they saw the corpse of the white dragon they had delivered, half of which had lost its flesh and blood and turned into a skeleton before standing up again.
Even though they had seen skeleton warriors and zombies in the past two days, they were not as shocked as the Skeleton Dragon.
Afterwards, the officer leading the team became excited again. When these bone dragons enter the battle, they will be enough for the orcs to drink. If they create some undead, they may be able to counterattack the orcs. These days, the orcs rely on them.
I was feeling aggrieved by being bullied by my superior strength, but now I finally had a chance to feel proud.
Compared with the humans of Erathia, the humans on this continent do not have the fear of the undead as Richard imagined. After all, they have not experienced the pain caused by the undead army like the lives on the Erathia continent. Instead, these undead warriors are like
Like timely rain, they were rescued from a difficult battle.
In peacetime, there may still be people who are afraid and resistant to the existence of the undead, but after the war reaches this level, everything is done for the sake of victory. As long as they can kill the enemy, in the eyes of these defenders, the skeleton warriors are nothing.
Can be a skinny beauty.
"Sure enough, it is too weak. There is not even a ghost dragon. Even if it is a level weaker than the ordinary bone dragon, if it does not have the flying advantage, it may not even be able to defeat the Terror Knight."
Compared to the shocked and excited human soldiers at the scene, Sandro was still a little dissatisfied with the white dragon. The bone dragon was originally weaker than the ordinary dragon, and now it is even weaker due to the limitation of the white dragon's strength during his lifetime.
Well, after all, even if it has turned into a skeleton, the white dragon is still smaller than other giant dragons.
As a seventh-level soldier in the cemetery, he may not be a match for some sixth-level soldiers now.
Fortunately, the success rate this time is not low. For advanced undead creatures such as bone dragons, even Sandro, the legendary necromancer, has a success rate that is not too high. Relying on Sandro's superb attainments in undead magic, the success rate is not too high.
Only with a treasure trove and a little bit of luck can we achieve this astonishing half success rate.
As for the other white dragon corpses, they lost the possibility of igniting soul fire after the soul summoning failed, and their remaining functions could only be to be stripped and stripped to make armor and bow strings.
After feeling a little comforted, Sandro turned his attention to the other undead creatures around him. There were not only twenty white dragon corpses in the yard, but also hundreds of corpses of warriors and masters above the knight level. They were also standing at this moment.
They were almost a third of the way up, and they were basically still wearing the armor they had in life. The style had not changed much, but the armor had turned into black and gray under the erosion of the death energy.
Ten skull dragons, more than a dozen death knights, and nearly two hundred black warriors, this is a group of high-level undead that can support a large-scale battle.
It is also worth mentioning that the materials used by Sandro to make undead creatures include not only orcs, but also humans.
Among the more than 200 black warriors in the yard, there are more than 20 who are obviously smaller in size. The black warriors wearing human standard armor look out of place with the tall black warriors around them.
These were all human knights who had recently died in battle. The human defenders had no objection at all to being made into undead creatures to continue fighting. After learning that they could be resurrected and continue fighting after they died in battle, they were all very enthusiastic.
On this issue, the Golden Dragon Kingdom is more inclined to pragmatism. Pragmatism is the tone set by the first generation of monarch Aragorn, although usually everyone will also pay attention to a person's death and burial, and will punish those who desecrate the corpse.
However, the overall atmosphere is not particularly conservative. It is much more cost-effective for these soldiers to kill a few more orcs than to rest in peace.
Therefore, the scope of Sandro's soul-calling is even wider. Not only the corpses of orcs, but also the corpses of human warriors are within the scope of his soul-calling.
Looking with satisfaction at the bone dragon fluttering in front of him and the black warriors who had formed their formation, Sandro said to the officer next to him:
"Go tell Gru that the counterattack can begin."
"Yes, Lord Sandro."
After receiving Sandro's order, the officer who had been doing the dirty work of collecting and transporting corpses hurried away with his men. His light steps could not conceal his excitement. Finally it was the turn of those damn orcs.
…
"kill!"
"Smash their heads! Cut off their waists!"
"Dang, Dang..."
To the east of Sirgrad City, on several streets classified by Gru as the East Fourth District, a fierce battle broke out between the orc army and the defenders again. However, this time the main force fighting the orcs was not the flesh-and-blood human defenders before.
Instead, they are a group of undead armies that are emotionless, tireless, ugly and gloomy.
Originally, the human defenders here had reached the point where they were running out of gas. Half a flag regiment of more than 2,000 people had been beaten down to less than 1,000 people. Without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the orcs completely captured them.
But because hundreds of undead warriors joined in, not only was the place not captured by the orcs, but the defense line was also much more stable. The orcs had been attacking fiercely all morning, but nothing was gained.
"Chi!"
An orc warrior struck a skeleton warrior on the waist with an axe. The heavy and sharp battle ax chopped the skeleton warrior into two pieces in one stroke.
After losing the support of his lower limbs, the skeleton warrior who looked ferocious just now immediately turned into a typical example of incompetence and rage.
The upper half of his body fell to the ground and he kept struggling, waving the weapon in his hand and trying hard to slash at the orc warrior in front of him, but without his lower limbs, it was difficult for him to even move. How could he possibly hit the orc warrior in front of him.
"boom!"
The next second, the orc warrior turned over the battle ax in his hand and hit the skull warrior on the head accurately. The head was broken, the green flame in the eye socket was extinguished, and the skeleton warrior suddenly stopped moving and fell to the ground.
An ordinary white skeleton, like a corpse that had been killed for many years on an ancient battlefield.
"clang!"
"Damn, it's so powerful. A dead person is stronger than a living person."
After just finishing off a skeleton warrior, a tall zombie wearing orc armor immediately approached the orc warrior.
Both sides used orc battle axes. The first blow was a complete confrontation of strength. In the confrontation, the warrior-level orcs did not take any advantage. They were forced back half a step by the power of the zombies.
This guy is much harder to deal with than those skeletons.
Ordinary orc warriors won't have much of a problem against the Skeleton Warriors one on one. After all, the Skeleton Warriors are only barely at the threshold of a quasi-knight in terms of combat power. Their shortcomings are very obvious and can be killed with a little targeting.
But zombies are different. After sacrificing part of their speed and flexibility, zombies gain greatly increased strength and ability to withstand blows. Even the orc warriors have to spend some effort to defeat the opponent.
"Use a pickaxe to hit the heart!"
"boom!"
In order to save their fighting spirit as much as possible, the orc warriors did not directly burst out their fighting spirit and forcibly kill the zombies. Instead, they relied on their strength to hold the zombies head-on, and then immediately called for assistance.
Two orc warriors rushed over with sharp pickaxes on their heads. Taking advantage of the stalemate between the zombies and the orc warriors, they hoeed down the zombie's back heart. The pickaxe disappeared completely. At this depth, as long as the heart is not wrong,
Those who have passed away must have been completely heartbroken.
Sure enough, the zombie, who was still able to compete with the orc warriors in terms of strength, suddenly softened and fell to the ground with a gentle push.
The heart is one of the key points of a zombie. As an undead creature, a zombie cannot bleed, and most of its organs have lost their function. Only the heart and head are the key points.
Compared with smashing open the zombie's helmet, it takes less effort to pierce the heart directly from the weak point of the armor on the back.
"Fortunately, apart from being a little scary, their combat power is not that strong, and none of them can even use fighting spirit."
The ability of orcs to learn in battle is also far better than that of most races. After just one day of fighting, they found the weaknesses of skeleton warriors and zombies, and immediately developed targeted tactics.
With their powerful military strength, the orcs still took the initiative. After tens of thousands of undead warriors, mainly skeleton warriors and zombies, joined the battle, they only temporarily stabilized the battle line, and they were still far from taking the initiative.
"boom!"
"Continue the attack!"
"The legion commander's order is that the two-story stone building must be captured before dark."
After smashing the last skeleton warrior in front of him, the leading orc warrior pointed at the stone building a hundred meters away and gave the order to continue the attack.
After obtaining some information about the undead, the top orcs still gave the order to continue the attack. After all, there were already so many casualties in the early stage. The city gates were opened and most of the city had been occupied. It is not easy to give up.
, we have to give it another try no matter what.
Facing the undead, in addition to summarizing their weaknesses and informing the soldiers, the orcs continued to play their advantage cards and increase their troops.
On the streets of the East Fourth District, which together were less than two thousand meters apart, at least a thousand orc warriors poured in. With their sheer numbers, they overwhelmed the hundreds of undead warriors guarding the place.
The remaining one or two hundred human defenders were defending near the stone tower in front. As long as this stone tower was captured, this area would basically change hands.
"None of these humans who insulted the corpses of our warriors will be spared."
"Roar!"
Just when the orc warrior was secretly feeling cruel, a roar came from mid-air that made him instinctively frightened.
The roar of the giant dragon, even though it has been heard countless times, still makes people unable to help but fight.
Subconsciously looking up, the attacking orc warriors saw a scene they would never forget.
Ten skeletons in the sky flew towards them with flapping bone wings. Even without the dragon scales and flesh, they could still easily identify that they were giant dragons.
After losing its flesh and blood, the dragon's head, which was only white bones, looked even more ferocious, and the scarlet soul fire was still particularly conspicuous even from a distance of several hundred meters.
Not only did humans summon the fallen warriors to continue fighting, but the dead dragons could not escape the fate of being continued to be driven...
"boom!"
"boom!"
"ah!"
Although the speed of the bone dragon is slightly slower than in life, the distance of a few hundred meters is still a short distance for them. In the few seconds when the orc warriors were stunned, the bone dragon had already swooped down.
Several streaks of cold white dragon breath fell on the street where the orc warriors were.
When they attacked the stone house just now, the orcs were in a dense formation. Most of them were crowded on the street. Facing the dragon's breath falling from the sky, they didn't even have room to hide. They were burned alive by the bone dragon's breath on the street.
.
The orc warrior who rushed at the front of the team, as the first target of the bone dragon, was directly transformed into a charred corpse in the dragon's breath.
A large number of figures also appeared in the direction of the stone house in the distance, occupying the entire street in the blink of an eye. Skeleton warriors, zombies, black warriors, death knights...
A steady stream of undead appeared on the battlefield, instantly drowning the orc army that was still in chaos, and many of the fallen orc warriors stood up again and joined the undead army...
