Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 52: You Reap What You Sow
The arrogant Graveson rejected my intention to negotiate and unilaterally cut off my spiritual connection. I could not sense its specific location through spiritual induction, and it was not visible in my field of vision, so my plan to launch a "mental attack" failed. Moreover, it did not seem to intend to deal with me personally, and the tactic of capturing the thief and the king that I was used to using seemed useless. Otherwise, with the help of my "mental attack" and Red Star's "life-seeking flying gun", I might still have a chance. As long as I killed the Witch King and replaced him, the siege of the corpse witch would naturally be lifted without a fight.
The other party refused to compromise and made it clear that they were determined to destroy me. Although as a player I would not be truly killed, once I died I would not only lose some of my mental power limit, but the "Supreme Corpse Crown" on my head would certainly not be able to be kept. I never expected that after just escaping the "heavenly punishment", I would be plotted against by the corpse wizards again. They lured the enemy deep into my territory and ambushed me from all sides. They were even more vicious than Santos, the "law enforcer". They all wanted me dead. Why was my life so miserable!
Insisting on resisting is definitely a dead end. One or two hundred thousand zombies against twenty or thirty thousand corpse wizards will probably be completely wiped out in a short time. Only by taking advantage of the enemy's just formed a siege and before launching a joint attack, can we seize the time to break through, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope. Alas, it's a pity that the initiative of forced offline is not in my hands. It can only be implemented by the system according to the specific situation of the player (such as lack of energy, machine failure and other force majeure factors). Otherwise, if the situation is not good, I can immediately escape. Although Taotao and Hongxing are unlikely to be spared and will still lose 6% of their mental power limit, I can at least save my life and not lose everything. Moreover, even if half of the income is deducted by the system, there are still more than 200 corpse wizards left. It's not in vain. It's really man proposes, God disposes!
At this point, it is useless to think too much. We should quickly decide how to break through. There is at least one witch king guarding the front, and his strength should be the strongest. I guess with the wisdom of the corpse witches, they will not play the trick of "making the real false and the false real". If they can think of such a sophisticated tactic, then I have nothing to say. I will admit defeat sincerely. Even if the left and right wings break through, they are still in the deep area of the corpse witches' territory. If they want to escape safely, they have to flee a long distance. They cannot leave the battle as soon as possible, and the enemy has time to mobilize to intercept. There are too many variables in the enemy's territory , and the consequences are really unpredictable. The only solution now was to make a desperate effort to break out from the rear. Although there would undoubtedly be more people deployed to defend the rear, as long as they broke through, they would be close to the edge of the corpse witch's territory, and their hope of escaping danger would increase greatly. Instead of being constantly intercepted and attacked by corpse witches on the way to break out, running around, their strength being constantly weakened, and being on the verge of death at all times, it would be better to fight to the death with all their strength now. If they did it in one go, they might have more chances of success. Moreover, the closer they retreated to the two corpse kings, the more powerful their "mental attack" would be. Once they encountered the corpse witch king and other strong men, they would have more confidence in competing with them.
I left 20,000 zombies on each of the other three sides to contain them, and the other 100,000 zombies turned around and rushed back the way they came. I mixed in with my men and quickly advanced along the path they made. Zombies can only be used to distract the attention of the corpse witches and confuse the situation. If we really want to fight our way out of the siege, we have to rely on the impact of the dark knights and black warriors.
Under attack from all sides, the zombies on the periphery kept falling down. Fortunately, the corpse wizards were slow in their movements, and it would take some time for them to form a combined attack on us who were surrounded in the middle. Except for the side we were approaching, which encountered relatively strong resistance, the attacks from the other three sides were not very fierce. In a short period of time, most of the corpse wizards were unable to participate in the attack on us because of the long distance.
This time, the corpse witches were particularly tenacious. Even when the zombies were about to rush in front of them, they still fought to the death and released "death cloud bombs" to attack. The dense magic missiles almost covered all the space within a hundred meters. Every step forward would cost hundreds or even thousands of zombies. I guess they had to do this. According to my calculations, there was not much space behind them for them to maneuver. It was impossible for them to retreat and counterattack like the previous luring troops. They could only defend with all their strength. After all, according to the "Law of the Dead", undead creatures should generally abide by their duties and not cross the border. This is why the witch king could not send troops to attack directly and had to lure me into the territory of the corpse witches before killing me. It was a pity that they were reluctant to sacrifice too many companions and killed too many zombies too early. I was determined to conquer them and did not rush forward blindly. Therefore, they did not go too deep. Otherwise, the retreat would be cut off, and it would be even more difficult to break through.
I have been lurking among the zombies, moving forward slowly under their cover, and have not rashly launched an attack prematurely. The real breakout battle will begin the moment I approach the group of zombie wizards. Before that, I must try my best to preserve the strength of my direct legion to avoid unnecessary losses. One more helper means one more hope of successfully breaking through.
Although the fight to the death maintained the stability of the formation and caused a large number of casualties to the zombies, it also made it impossible for the corpse wizards to rotate. The corpse wizards on the first line of defense faced the continuous attack of the zombie army and could not get a moment's rest. The powerful "death cloud bomb" consumed a lot of mental energy. Using it to deal with low-level zombies was like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken. I'm afraid they themselves would not be able to bear it if more than a hundred were released continuously and quickly. After a round of brutal attrition war, at the cost of tens of thousands of zombies, they finally rushed to the first line of defense of the corpse wizards and fought with them.
Such an occasion is perfect for the Black Warrior and the Dark Knight to display their power. They use swords and knives to quickly deal with the enemies along the way and escort me forward quickly. This is just an appetizer, the real test is still to come. The slow-moving zombies will stay here to resist the coalition forces of the other three corpse wizards. This can at least buy some time. Next, it will depend on my own undead army to make a breakthrough.
According to the results of the emergency dispatch of blood bats to fly high in the sky for secret reconnaissance, the corpse wizards have set up a total of seven lines of defense, each line of defense has about a thousand corpse wizards, and the distance between the lines is about a hundred meters, not too far, probably because of the lack of space, but it is enough to cause us relatively large damage. Just looking at this arrangement, it can be seen that the corpse wizards are indeed a group of intelligent people, who understand some ways of attack and defense, and do not rely on individual strength to blindly act recklessly.
Without getting entangled with the enemy, I quickly broke through the first line of defense. Facing the next batch of corpse wizards who were waiting in full battle array, I first divided more than a hundred dark knights into two rows to accumulate power, and then used the "Flash Assault" to rush over quickly. In a hurry, the corpse wizards were rushed in front of them before they could fire a few "Death Cloud Bombs". In close combat, they were naturally no match for the dark knights. There was a chaos immediately. I took the opportunity to rush forward under the protection of the black warriors, and only encountered sporadic resistance, without causing many casualties.
I rushed to the front of the battle and asked the black warrior to kill the corpse wizard instead of the dark knight. I was ready to continue to accumulate power to perform "flash assault" to attack the next line of defense. The troops were a little scattered for a while, leaving only more than ten black warriors for protection. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden "boom" and a black warrior guarding nearby was immediately blown into pieces. He was killed by a super-large "death cloud bomb" the size of two basketballs. I turned around and saw a corpse wizard wearing a light gray magic robe with silver edges and holding a magic bone staff with a miniature skull on the top standing in the distance. He stretched out his magic staff and grinned at me surrounded by dozens of corpse wizards. From his appearance and momentum, he didn't look like a top-level wizard king. I thought it should be the corpse wizard king. Not only was the distance of his magic attack farther, but he could also kill the black warrior with one blow. His attack power was really amazing.
Faced with such a powerful threat, I naturally would not give it more chances to attack. I fired a "mental attack" that I had been waiting for, causing the arrogant Corpse Witch King to shake violently. The second super-large "death cloud bomb" that was fired almost at the same time deviated from its direction and blew a Corpse Witch beside me into ashes. Unfortunately, I wanted to break through and did not dare to engage in further entanglement with the enemy. Otherwise, if I rushed forward with Red Star and the Blood Bat couple, I might have had a chance to subdue the Corpse Witch King.
I found the trace of the Corpse Witch King, I dared not be careless anymore, I closely monitored the surroundings, to avoid being attacked by the Corpse Witch King again, if I was hit by one, it would be no joke, I would be seriously injured if I didn't die. Fortunately, the Corpse Witch King didn't seem to be as numerous as the Millennium Corpse King, I only found one in the entire defense line, if more appeared, "mental attack" could not be launched continuously, I would suffer a great loss.
Without zombies as cover, we had to endure the attack of the corpse wizards head-on. In order to break through the second line of defense, we lost more than 20 dark knights and black warriors. If we continue like this, we can only make it to the fifth line of defense at best. I had to use the "Chaos Ball" and "Blind Fog" to trap the corpse wizard in front of me. Fortunately, I didn't use this life-saving skill for the sake of merit, otherwise I would have to wait for death now.
With the help of the cover of the "blinding fog", I broke through three lines of defense in succession. However, the number of corpse wizards far exceeded that of my undead army, and they used long-range magic attacks. Under the attack from both sides, casualties occurred every moment. The situation was much more critical than I expected. The "mental attack" could only affect the corpse wizard king for a while, and he would recover soon. There were four or five corpse wizard kings chasing me, and they were very tight, forcing me to flee in panic. Many times I had to sacrifice my men in exchange for a chance to escape.
When I rushed to the sixth line of defense, I was almost in despair. There were only a dozen dark knights left, and they were all injured. It was obvious that they could not hold on. The slower black warriors had been wiped out, and there was not a single one left. If it were not for the "three shields to protect the body" and "mental attack", if it were not for the much stronger Red Star and Blood Bat couple who desperately attacked and killed a corpse wizard king with the "life-seeking flying spear" at the critical moment, saving me, and making the other corpse wizard kings afraid and dare not approach recklessly, I would not have been able to hold on until now. However, there are no soldiers available now, and even this sixth line of defense may be difficult to break through, not to mention the seventh line of defense in front, which is even more powerless. If there is a slight delay, the corpse wizard army in front and behind will attack me, and I will be unable to escape, and I will only die on the spot. Poor me, the No. 1 Corpse King, "the best undead wizard in the world". Because of his carelessness, he did not pay attention to scoping the surrounding environment and eventually died at the hands of the insidious corpse wizard. It was really sad and lamentable!
I sighed and prepared to let the blood bat couple transform into bats and escape. They would die if they stayed anyway, and they couldn't be resurrected. It would only increase the losses. I would fight to the end with Taotao and Red Star. Corpse witch clan, four witch kings, you wait. When I have the strength in the future, I will definitely conquer you completely and enslave you to avenge the trap and killing you today.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a commotion at the seventh line of defense in front of me. It seemed that they were attacked by the enemy, and the momentum was not small. The surrounding corpse wizards also became agitated. I couldn't help but feel very strange. I had no soldiers to mobilize. Tens of millions of zombies were far away and could not quench my thirst. Xiaobai and his more than 100 brothers would die if they came. It would not help. The more than 500 corpse wizards I had subdued had not recovered their vitality. If they stayed still and did not take action, they could still save their lives. Once they took action, they would definitely be regarded as traitors and blown to pieces. Who helped me to attack the corpse wizards at this critical moment? Could it be that they had natural enemies or provoked other enemies?
Just as he was wondering, he suddenly received a mental wave, "Brother Ah Dai, a group of friends and I are harassing the corpse witch from behind, you should rush out quickly while the chaos is going on."
He was so ambitious. Only the fifth corpse king had the ability to communicate with me over a long distance through the "Corpse King's Crown". I didn't have time to ask him why he showed up here in time. Anyway, he must have come to help me. With their support and harassment, I might be able to break out of the siege. I didn't expect that I was kind enough to let this dwarf wizard become the fifth corpse king to improve his strength. Now he actually helped me when I was facing a life-and-death situation, giving me a glimmer of hope. Regardless of whether I can escape successfully in the end, at least this friend is not in vain.
I was shocked and mustered up my fighting spirit. I was harassed and covered by the remaining dozen dark knights. I used "One Rider" and " Shadow of Disappearance" to withstand the dense attacks of the corpse witches. With the cooperation of Taotao, Red Star and the Blood Bat couple, I tried my best to break through. With my left hand, I activated "Touch of Death" to absorb the spiritual power of the corpse witch to make up for the consumption caused by the attack. With my right hand, I waved the magic wand to apply "Three Shields" to myself from time to time. With the addition of a layer of protective shield added by the artifact, I miraculously withstood the fierce attacks of the corpse witches.
