Chapter 37 If the Undead Can Fight in Groups
"I hit it! I hit it!"
A skeleton berserker shouted excitedly. He didn't even look at the knight's sword that was chopped towards him. He tightly grasped the blue bone knife in his hand and roared while making another move.
"Undead Slash!"
Critical damage -218!
This move directly hit the Temple Knight's neck, and a large amount of blood spurted out.
"The defense is broken! The protective fighting spirit has disappeared!"
The Skeleton Berserker laughed excitedly. Even though his chest bones were shattered by the sudden attack of the Knight's sword and his head and shoulders fell to the ground, he was still laughing.
Because he heard the prompt sound of the Godhead system.
[Dear player, you have successfully attacked a Temple Knight, mission reward points +5. ]
[Dear player, you have successfully severely injured a Temple Knight, mission reward points +10. ]
The Temple Knight was indeed powerful, with a thick health bar. Even after being hit in the neck, he was not dead yet.
He just covered the wound on his neck, quickly retreated behind his companions, then treated the wound and restored his fighting ability as soon as possible.
"These humanoid monsters are a bit smart and hard to deal with."
I Love Berserker sighed and yelled, "Those of you who have already received the mission points, please move to the front. Die early and leave the chance to kill monsters to the brothers behind you!"
"okay!"
The players agreed loudly and changed their formation.
After a brief initial confrontation, five or six of the twenty or so players had already died.
But this does not affect the players' fighting spirit at all. They have long known that the Temple Knights are not weak and can kill players in seconds. But it is precisely because the Temple Knights are strong that the rewards may be richer.
Not to mention anything else, the mission points alone are enough to drive players crazy.
Using a one-hour resurrection cooldown to exchange for a batch of points is a profit no matter how you look at it.
“We can’t go on like this.”
A temple knight spoke up, swinging his sword to chop at the undead around him, and said with a strange expression: "Don't you realize that these undead are different from what is described in the divine book!"
"Low-level undead are not afraid of death. I know that."
"But why are they not afraid of death, and yet they can send out soul messages and scream loudly, and they seem to be very happy even after death."
The conversations between players are all exchanges at the soul level, which can be understood by any intelligent life form without disguise, which is equivalent to normal dialogue and communication, so the Knights Templar also heard the players' laughter and conversations.
I'll beat you if you want. What's the point of laughing a few times before you die?
What? Are all the undead perverted?
"Did you notice that they only laugh when they hit us?"
"They are still saying something incomprehensible. What is a point reward? What is pulling monsters, killing monsters, and fighting in a group? What is an NPC monster?"
"The weirdest thing is, they seem to be coordinating with each other."
"It's not like that. They are using a battle formation we have never seen before! The low-level undead are actually intelligent, can cooperate, can talk, and know how to hit the same place to break the protective fighting spirit. This is completely different from what is recorded in the divine book!"
"The low-level undead recorded in the divine canon are simply a group of low-level magic puppets without the ability to think, but they don't look like puppets."
The temple knights were communicating with each other very quickly, and the leading temple knight's expression gradually became serious: "We must tell the temple about this news! Let the adults know this!"
"The strength of the undead is different from what is recorded in the divine scriptures."
If the Temple had known that this group of low-level undead was so difficult to deal with, it would have sent out more powerful combat forces to wipe them out, rather than just a group of Temple Knights.
After all, in the temple's impression and understanding, low-level undead are just a group of cannon fodder. Apart from their large numbers, they have no advantages at all and can be eliminated with just a few tactics.
But the current battle situation is beyond everyone's expectations.
This group of low-level undead are actually better at coordinating than the knights!
“Ahhhh!”
The Temple Knight who had been bitten before screamed, stopped breathing, his eyes became dull, and he fell to the ground covered in blood.
His body was covered with wounds from the attack, and blood was all over the grass.
[Dear player, you assisted in killing a Temple Knight, and the mission reward points are +21. ]
[Dear player, you assisted in killing a Temple Knight, and the mission reward points are +8. ]
[Dear player, you assisted in killing a Temple Knight, and the mission reward points are +5. ]
…
With the death of the Temple Knight, the players who attacked him were prompted by the Godhead System.
"Shit, it exploded! I got the final kill, 21 points!"
A skeleton archer laughed loudly, as excited as a skeleton child: "And I leveled up directly! Killing an NPC can plunder a lot of life points!"
A black light flashed across the body of the Temple Knight, and his remaining life points were directly plundered by the Godhead System.
“What good luck.”
The players were envious and jealous, and their attention turned to the remaining few Temple Knights.
Although two players died just now, this did not stop the remaining players' enthusiasm for killing monsters.
"superior!"
I love the Berserker adjusting his strategy. He aimed at a Temple Knight who had words jumping above his head and was constantly suffering from damage and losing blood.
I love the Berserker and pointed his finger: "Just kill him!"
“Ahhhh!”
The players rushed forward screaming, each of them as if they were full of energy.
"We agreed that you'll let me take the kill this time!"
"It all depends on your ability!"
"His health bar is low, everyone hurry up!"
"I don't have any other requests, I just hope my brothers will let me chop a few more times."
Chatting while killing monsters is a common practice among veteran players.
Even in the tense atmosphere of a team fight in a virtual league, one can find time to scold teammates, let alone now.
The cooperation among the players caused headaches for the Temple Knights.
The ghost's [Physical Strength Drain] and the banshee's negative state caused the knights' combat effectiveness to decline continuously.
Skeleton archers and skeleton mages hid behind and released evil spells. The attack damage was enough to threaten the lives of the knights, but the knights had no way to break through the entanglement of the skeleton soldiers and gargoyles.
These damn guys are just like flies, they can't wait to pounce on me and take a few bites.
So disgusting and difficult!
What makes the Knights Templar most desperate is that there is an undead that they have never seen or understood.
This undead did nothing but stand behind all the other undead, being closely protected. It would raise its hands from time to time.
"call out!"
A black light spell hit a gargoyle. The gargoyle, which was almost broken apart, recovered and continued to rush over to fight with the temple knights with full energy.
This mysterious undead ghost was casting incomprehensible evil spells while yelling.
"Lao Kuang, we can't go on like this! I'm the only one healing, I can't handle it! I don't have many life points left to use skills!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'll transfer the money to you and continue to nurse the front row! Don't think I don't know that nurses can also get points as rewards."
"Fuck! Thank you, Lao Kuang, for giving me 100 days of life. That's really generous!"
"This is the strategic funds reimbursed by Brother Cong. If you can't eat these NPC monsters, you will all have to go back and get scolded!"
…
"No, this won't work!"
The leading Temple Knight noticed it. He gritted his teeth, pointed at the Berserker and the Preacher, and roared, "We have to kill those two undead first!"
"good."
The other three temple knights nodded, and they changed their defensive posture, covering the knight captain as they rushed towards the Berserker and the Preacher.
"Protect the nurse and the team battle commander!"
I love the Berserker and yelled, "What a bastard NPC! He actually knew to kill the nurse first! He's so sneaky!"
"Go ahead, brothers!"
"Cut points, cut points!"
The players rushed forward one after another, surrounding the knight captain and hacking him desperately.
Even though the knight captain had great strength, he could not withstand the siege of so many undead; at the beginning he could kill the gargoyles and skeleton berserkers with one sword.
But with the interference of the banshee and the ghost, it now takes him several swords to kill a gargoyle, not to mention rushing over to kill the skeleton archer and skeleton mage behind it.
And the zombies summoned by these wizards are really disgusting, and the germs they carry are too deadly, so the Knights Templar have to pay special attention to them.
"Have no idea!"
The captain of the Temple Knights had a look of despair on his face, and he shouted, "Don't worry about me, just run! Get out and spread the news!"
The temple miscalculated. This group of undead was much more difficult to deal with than imagined.
Although the remaining Knights Templar were filled with grief, they still followed their captain's instructions and began to charge together to break through.
But it's too late to break out now.
Under the banshee's constant negative state and the severe consumption of their fighting spirit, the strength of the temple knights dropped a lot.
One of the Temple Knights had used up all his fighting spirit, and his strength was equivalent to that of an ordinary strong human. He couldn't even defeat a Skeleton Berserker, so he could only breathe his last in despair and fell to the ground and died.
"Another one died!"
I love the Berserker's excited shout: "Hurry up, kill the next one!"
"Old Man, these NPCs look so miserable, should we let them go?"
"Are you crazy? You're actually sympathizing with a bunch of statistics? Are you a Pisces? So sentimental."
I Love Berserker yelled, "We've already invested so many life points. If we can't make back our investment, I'll eat you all alive!"
"Stop talking, surround them quickly, they are trying to escape."
"Why is there a bird on your head?"
"This bird also has a health bar. It was brought here by these NPCs. Skeleton Archer, shoot the bird down for me!"
"Fuck, I get points for shooting birds!"
Under the joyful siege, the players paid a heavy price.
Two-thirds of the players were killed, and finally the Temple Knights patrol was annihilated.
"So many players died just by killing five NPCs."
I love the Berserker and shook his head and sighed. No wonder it was a world-class mission. The difficulty was too high. You have to know that the player he brought with him was already considered the top player in the game at this stage.
However, the death of so many players is not a disadvantage, as basically everyone got the mission points.
"Everyone, clean up the battlefield. I'll take some people to check out the battle situation over there with Cong Ge."
"Fuck, blue equipment!"
A skeleton archer stroked the armor and greatsword on the corpse of the Temple Knight and couldn't help but exclaimed: "They are all blue-grade equipment! And the properties are all very good!"
"Really? Let me see it?"
"I'm rich! These are five complete sets of blue equipment, and they are light-themed sets!"
"Can the undead also use light-related equipment?"
"I don't think so. It says on this equipment that damage to undead is increased by 10%."
"Wait, I remember there is an NPC in the Kingdom of God who specializes in transforming equipment for free, and can make equipment items degenerate into the Undead type."
My beloved Berserker spoke up. He waved his hand with great pride and said, "Strip them naked! Put away all their equipment!"
This battle yielded rich rewards.
The points reward alone is enough to pay for the investment, and the five sets of blue suits can be considered an extra bonus.
"I finally found it."
A Skeleton Mage player lamented: "It turns out that in this game, only humanoid monsters can drop equipment."
"I noticed that too."
"From now on, I will specialize in killing humanoid NPCs."
"+1"
"That's reasonable, but why would a mage like you hold a knight's greatsword?"
"I want to try and see if I can change my job to a combat method."
"Brother, you have a lot of ideas and are suitable to be a planner."
