Chapter 256: What you think is war: Total War, what it actually is: Dynasty Warriors.
When the Abominable Butcher fell, a large amount of soul fire and soul energy particles exploded. At the same time, these [trophies] were absorbed by the surrounding skeleton warriors as soon as they appeared.
Each skeleton warrior absorbs the spoils according to some unknown consensus and in proportion to the output.
Then, the changes began.
The skeleton warrior's bones gradually turned black, emitting a faint metallic luster, and the soul fire in the skull was stimulated by the soul energy particles, burning like a flame with fuel added.
The small round shield on his arm began to change, stretch, and show right angles, becoming a long shield that could block half of his body. In the center of the shield, a seven-headed, ten-horned red dragon logo was branded with flames.
The long sword in his right hand was also changing shape, with a slight arc on the blade, making it easier to chop. At the same time, there was always a faint green light flashing on the blade that could not be ignored, and even undead creatures would be wary of it if they saw it.
When the undead dead have to face death again, the arrogance of despising the living will always be replaced by vigilance against being hurt.
The skeleton warrior who evolved first seemed to have more flexible intelligence. He stood in front of the skeleton warriors and became like a captain.
At this time, Mo Cheng also obtained enough information from the feedback of his skills.
Skeleton Warrior Advanced——Black Iron Sword and Shield Skeleton.
Rank: Black Iron
Position: Centurion
Weapons: Curved sword, long shield
Abilities: Soul Plague, Killing Evolution, Vampire Soul [Blessed], Speedy Walker [Blessed]
The information fed back was very simple, but it was enough for Mo Cheng to understand the capabilities of the Black Iron Sword and Shield Skeleton. It was a mediocre soldier with all attributes, but it was also an indispensable force in war.
With the appearance of the Skeleton Centurion, the skeleton warriors' movements seemed to become more flexible. When facing attacks, they no longer stupidly charged forward without any protection, but would consider dodging or raising their shields to block.
This directly increased the survival rate of the Skeleton Warriors. Originally, a single sweep by the Abominable Butcher was enough to break the bones of more than fifteen Skeleton Warriors.
But when the Centurions appeared, the Skeleton Warriors began to understand how to use the skills, which meant that the Hateful Butcher would need at least a second strike to completely destroy a Skeleton Warrior.
Even though a single sweep by the Hateful Butcher was enough to hit more than ten Skeleton Warriors, there was no doubt that their effective output was halved at this moment.
On the other side, the Skeleton Knight burst into a very high charge speed in a short period of time, intercepting the charge of the Dread Knight in advance. But this is not without cost, as the Dread Knight, as a high-level undead, has the ability to easily slaughter the Skeleton Knights.
Even Mo Cheng knew very well that these assembled skeleton legions were, in a sense, just a group of [recruits].
It may not even be qualified to be called a militia.
But so what?
Mo Cheng sat on the throne, watching the sacrificial skeleton waving the scepter in his hand. With every wave, the shattered bones and bone explosions seemed to be resurrected and gathered together to form skeleton warriors again.
Whether the Skeleton Warriors are militia-level fighters or civilian fighters, they can die countless times with the presence of the Sacrificial Skeletons. A battlefield filled with negative energy and soul energy particles is the best resurrection pool for the Skeletons.
But if even one Undead dies at the hands of the Skeleton Legion, the Undead will face skeleton warriors whose strength and skills have been enhanced.
With the blessing of Mo Cheng's [Bloodsucking Soul] and [God of Speed], the threat faced by the Undead from the Skeleton Legion is increasing exponentially.
"I just like to start a civil war among the undead. No matter how we fight, we can always revive them."
If both sides were not negative energy beings, the negative energy and soul energy particles on the battlefield would definitely not be so abundant. If it were a war between the undead on one side and the living on the other, the situation would be much more troublesome.
At least it would not be so easy to sacrifice skeletons to resurrect skeleton warriors.
The enemy also realized the importance of sacrificing skeletons. No matter when, the nurse, especially the nurse who can be resurrected, will be the top priority target for killing.
The gargoyles in the sky were about to swoop down, using the kinetic energy of falling from a high altitude to inflict powerful damage , but they were forced back by the bows and arrows of the skeleton archers. Unlike the skeleton warriors, the arrows shot by the skeleton archers were attached with flames that burned the soul.
Gargoyles are not afraid of ordinary physical attacks, but they dare not resist the fire that targets the soul.
At this time, the gargoyles and ghosts kept circling in the sky, trying to cross the numerous defense lines to attack the sacrificial skeletons, but the arrows of the skeleton archers forced them to wander in the sky and dare not come down.
In order to avoid being killed by a volley of shots from the skeleton archers, the gargoyles and ghosts were spread out.
"Tsk, this method of summoning Hope to the most defensive meteorite..."
"Playing with Hope's meteorite protection, this gargoyle must have a lot of stories, right?"
Mo Cheng didn't know how many stories there were about the gargoyles and ghosts, but he knew that his skeleton archers were being tied up. A large group of gargoyles and ghosts were eyeing them covetously. He really didn't dare to let the skeleton archers provide long-range support to the battlefield at this time.
Once the firepower from the air defenses is weakened, the gargoyles and ghosts in the sky will definitely launch suicidal attacks in an attempt to kill the sacrificial skeletons.
As we all know, the Undead Army never cares about death and sacrifice.
The skeleton wizard at the rear of the legion also raised the bone staff in his hand and started a long-range bombardment with the corpse wizard troops in the distance.
The corpse wizards shot out negative energy rays. The skeleton wizards did not have complicated spells, just the simplest and most direct lightning. They bombarded the corpse wizards with the power of lightning in their hands from a long distance.
This is also the only type of soldier in Mo Cheng's Skeleton Legion that can gain the upper hand in front of the enemy. The skeletons themselves are naturally extremely resistant to negative energy rays, but the corpse wizards' resistance to lightning is not that high.
But after two rounds of bombing, the skeleton mages ran out of fire, and their own strength could only support two rounds of lightning.
"It seems I still have to take action, but these guys' fighting ability is acceptable."
A group of skeletons that are strictly speaking just blank slates were able to delay for such a long time, which proved their usefulness, even though the army in front of them was not the main force.
"I really want to see what level of combat power your main force has, but my subordinates are a bit weak. I will come back to fight again after I gain some experience."
After saying that, Mo Cheng raised his hand.
In an instant, all the undead creatures present felt a sense of fear, the fear of death.
The higher-level undead creatures were even more shocked and immediately ordered their subordinates to leave.
But it's too late.
The sky suddenly illuminated the earth, and a door appeared in the clouds.
It was like the door of heaven opening, shooting out a thick ray of holy light toward the earth.
The holy light descended straight down like a space-based weapon, and the moment it hit the ground, it spread out in all directions, sweeping across the ground.
All the filth, all the darkness, and all the evil along the way were purified by the pure white holy light.
