Chapter 170: The Price of Fanaticism
Chapter 170 The Cost of Fanaticism
In the abandoned land, the Zombie King and the Skeleton Lord are high-level existences of the same level. Each Zombie King has no less than one million zombie warriors under his command.
The iconic weapon of the Skeleton Lord is the Grim Reaper Scythe, and the Zombie King also has a signature weapon - the corpse whip.
The zombie king with a corpse whip can use the corpse whip to drive away all zombies within three kilometers of the body. Whether these zombies are loyal to themselves or to other zombie kings, as long as the corpse whip is in hand, they can drive them to die.
Through soul contact, the zombie king Pombirava has learned about everything that happened in the human plane in the abandoned land, so he chose the right time to jump out and pull a great swordsman into the space channel in one fell swoop.
On the other side of the space channel is the zombie world in the abandoned land. No matter how powerful this great swordsman is, facing the endless zombies there, his best choice is to commit suicide.
Under the command of Pombiraffe, tens of thousands of zombie warriors in the circular area went crazy, and they rushed out even more bravely.
Since the moment the Zombie King appeared, the magician Bingge's nerves became nervous and quickly pushed the magic to get the Light's Tower closer to the Zombie King. The two great sword masters were also ready to attack under the cover of their companions. Once the Light's Tower approached the Zombie King, they planned to kill the Zombie King in seconds with their most powerful attack methods.
"Human, damn it!" Pombiraffe's weapon is more than ten meters long, so he has a great advantage in distance.
The corpse-driven whip suddenly soared into the air and whistled towards the four great sword masters.
Because they had never had the experience of fighting with the Zombie King, the four great sword masters were more cautious. When they saw the corpse-driven whip coming, they raised their swords to greet each other, a fighting armor burst out on their bodies.
"Papapapapapapapapapapapa." With four crisp sounds, Ponbilafa's corpse-driven whip did not directly twitch the great sword master, but picked up four whip flowers in the air. The four yellow zombies beside the zombie king suddenly disappeared. Then, they appeared above the heads of the four great sword masters, wielded rotten limbs, sprayed pungent venom, and howled and rushed towards the four great sword masters.
This is the power of the corpse whip. It can act as a portal within a limited distance and instantly move the zombie warrior to the enemy.
The four yellow zombies were naturally not in the eyes of the great sword master. As soon as they appeared, they were thorned into pieces in the sword light of the great sword master. The venom sprayed by the yellow zombies, and even a corner of the great sword master's clothes was not touched.
However, there were not only four yellow zombies coming over the corpse whip. The sound of a whip like a fried bean was heard. Pombirav's corpse whip kept waving. Each time he waved, there would be five or six, or even more than a dozen zombies appearing above the heads of the great sword masters.
Without the obstacles of the Light Road, these zombies can attack the Great Sword Master unscrupulously. Although they are destined to land on the Light Road and be burned by the sacred power, they are fearless.
Faced with the zombies falling like hail, the four great sword masters quickly became tired of dealing with them.
Finally, two zombie generals suddenly appeared above the head of a great sword master. They broke through the great sword master's defense line, leaving several claw marks on the great sword master's body, as well as two mouthfuls of venom.
At the critical moment, Bingge knew that his Light Road could no longer protect the Great Sword Master. He hurriedly waved his hands and the Light Road backed back, wrapped the four Great Sword Masters in the middle, and flew onto the earth slope where Bingge was.
After coming out of the Tank of Light, the injured great swordsman immediately sat on the ground, mobilizing the fighting spirit in his body, and desperately resisting the invasion of venom.
"Let the sacred light wash away the evil on you." Binger pressed his hands on the head of the great sword master, and a milky white light rose from the great sword master. Soon, the part scratched by the zombies returned to its original state, and all the venom was discharged from the body.
Without the great swordsman stirring in the middle, the zombies' attacks became even stronger.
Fortunately, at this time, some magicians have recovered some of their magic power after resting, and magic attacks have begun to appear frequently in the circular area.
The battle had been going on for several hours, and Gonzalez's second army arrived in time. Although dozens of magicians did not play any big role, the five thousand archers relieved the pressure of the Holy Knight in time.
Some of the archers stood outside the Holy Knights, while others stood on the nearby earth slope, shooting various sharp arrows into the circular area, causing great damage to the zombies inside.
Unless ordinary bows and arrows shoot the heart of zombies, they cannot cause significant damage to zombies. However, this archer legion is specially prepared to deal with skeletons, and their bows and arrows are all attached to sacred power.
Although the mass-produced arrows contain very limited sacred power, they can still cause the carrion on zombies to start burning.
With the participation of the archers, the Holy Knights can finally get a moment of breathing. They retreat and let the two Apologists Ten Thousand-Arrogant Knights temporarily replace their positions.
Because he did not have to provide sacred blessings to the Holy Knights, the pressure of the magician Bingge was also relieved a lot. He gasped for a while and began to aim his magic at the zombie king Pombirafa.
"Extend the god's hands and grab the devil's legs!" The chain of light suddenly appeared, wrapping Pombiravar.
"The wrath of the gods is coming, purify this evil creature!" Countless thunderbolts and lightnings fell from the sky and slashed on Pombirava's body continuously.
"Damn it!" As Pombiravala roared angrily, the zombie warriors around him immediately divided into two parts. Some jumped up without hesitation to block the attack of thunderbolt lightning for Pombirafa, and the other part rushed towards Pombirafa and sprayed a mouthful of venom onto the chain of light that was wrapped around Pombirafa.
Every time a mouthful of venom was sprayed, the light of the chain of Light became dimmer. Although it was the magic released by the magician, it could not withstand endless attacks. Soon, the chain of Light appeared cracks and was in danger of breaking.
"If Zhebeanda was present, his elf king bow and arrow..." A great swordsman looked at Pombilafa hundreds of meters away, his expression becoming more and more serious.
Yes, if there is an Elf King bow and arrow in his hand, Pombiravar will never be able to endanger the world.
But there are no Elven King bows and arrows here, and even ordinary bows and arrows are rapidly decreasing.
Five thousand archers have been shooting continuously for more than ten minutes. The bows and arrows they carried are about to be consumed, and the zombies are still gushing up from the abandoned land.
At this moment, at least 20,000 zombies were ready to move in the circular area, and the wreckage of more than 30,000 zombies were lying outside the circular area.
In contrast, human casualties are much smaller, with less than 5,000 casualties.
However, no matter how many human warriors there are, how can we fight against the entire zombie community in the abandoned land?
At this moment, Gonzalez was regretting it. When he was sending troops, he repeatedly warned himself to be cautious and not to make the mistake of the last Hukou Pass offensive and defensive battle. However, several small victories still made him confused and ordered the army to accelerate and run here to open a demon's abyss.
I have to say that the orcs' method is correct. If you want to completely stop these zombies, igniting a bunch of fires is the best choice.
However, at this moment, where can I find coal to ignite the fire? Even if I find coal, how can I transport the coal over in a fierce battle and ignite it in a circle?
Four hundred thousand troops advanced rapidly, and most of the cavalry arrived at the Hannover iron mine area, with a total of 150,000 people.
More infantrymen are approaching, and at this moment it is only thirty kilometers away from Hanover City.
"Retreat, retreat northwest!" Gonzalez's sense of crisis became heavier and he did not dare to stay here. He wanted to retreat to the large army. As for the zombies here, let them develop naturally!
"What, what did you say?" As soon as Gonzalez's order was issued, several generals rushed over angrily to accuse him.
"We are believers of the Church of Light and the mortal enemies of the undead. In the great history of our Church of Light, we have never faced the history of the retreat of the undead!" The leader of the Mage Group was furious: "Gonzalez, where has your loyalty gone, and where has your faith gone?"
"Death in battle is our glory, and the Supreme God will reward us!" The leader of the Holy Knights' Order showed more intensely: "If we escape, shame will accompany us for the rest of our lives, and if we die, we will go to hell!"
Gonzalez hesitated because he was commanding a religious war with a very special nature. He could be defeated by secular forces, but he could not be defeated by undead creatures.
Otherwise, it is likely to shake the foundation of the faith of the Church of Light.
"Ahem, I think Lord Gonzalez's words are correct, let's retreat." The Duke of Ultraland stood up to clear Gonzalez and said with tears in his eyes: "This 10,000-person team is already the only cavalry legion in our Ultraland. If they are all here, how can I explain to my hometown elders!"
"Hmph, shameful, cowardly!" A great master of Light glared at Gonzalez and Duke of Ultraland and shouted: "If anyone dares to retreat, be prepared to accept my curse!"
Suddenly, the magician soared into the air and rushed towards the center of the circular area. His body suddenly began to burn violently in the air.
"Great Supreme God!" With a violent explosion, thousands of zombie warriors were blown to pieces.
It was sacrificed by Dafa that the magician finally fulfilled his promise of loyalty to the Supreme God by burning his life.
Everyone was shocked. Faced with such a fanatical religious believer, who dared to say retreat?
"Report!" A messenger rushed over: "Report to the Bishop, the Orc Legion of Hanover City has come out!"
