Volume 5: Protracted War Chapter 86: The Battle with the Banshee (2)
The Banshee and the Ghost King haven't joined the battle yet, but those ordinary flesh-eating ghosts have made my undead army so embarrassed that I can't help but get nervous - I have sent out all the elites for this challenge, and I can only win and not lose. Once Xiaobai is defeated and becomes the "official husband" of the Banshee, I dare not expect that the Banshee will be merciful and let us out of the valley. Being trapped in the "Valley of the Wind" is still a small matter. If she is more vicious and arranges a large group of flesh-eating ghosts to guard us and constantly consume our physical strength, making it impossible for us to move freely, then it would be really hopeless, and there would be little hope of getting out alive.
In fact, I should have thought of it earlier. Since the Dark Dragon King of the "Hell Volcano" has the ability to control the changes of the volcano, and he is also the emperor of the "Yinfeng Valley", one of the four forbidden areas, the Ghost Banshee must also have the means to borrow the power of Yinfeng. Xiaobai had just become a demon and had few subordinates, so he didn't realize this for a while, so he didn't remind me to pay attention, and I only considered the ability of the Devouring Ghost itself, so I was a little careless.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. Fortunately, although we are at a disadvantage, we are not forced to be powerless to fight back. The only ones who are directly attacked are the Terror Knight Corps that act as bait. Xiaobai, the ghost wind demon, sits above the cluster of corpse wizards and constantly uses "Yin Sha Duo Po" to weaken the impact of the Yin wind. The Corps of Corpse Wizards is on high alert. As long as the devouring ghosts enter the range, they will release magic to hit them head-on and strive to kill the enemy to the maximum extent - the situation is critical. In order to win, I can't care about these losses.
As the Devouring Ghost Army approached, the Corpse Witch Army also began to launch a counterattack. The gathered Yin Feng was indeed strong, and it could actually weaken the power and range of the "Death Cloud Explosion Bomb". However, magic is their nemesis after all, and once hit, it will still cause relatively serious damage. In addition, Xiaobai spared no effort to lay a barrier above the Corpse Witch Army, weakening the wind, making the battle situation stalemate. Although the Ghost Banshee and the Ghost King have not yet appeared, I have also hidden Taotao, Daxiu and Guben, three flying subordinates, and retracted my bone wings to hide in the army. In addition, with Hongxing's "Life-Calling Flying Spear" and the "Spiritual Attack" launched by the three Corpse Kings, I am waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Ghost Banshee and try to subdue it in one fell swoop.
It was really hard to kill more than 50,000 Devouring Ghosts with only 2,000 Corpse Wizards. The key was that the wind that penetrated the body was too annoying. It not only reduced the physical strength, but also often made the Corpse Wizard lose balance. The "Death Cloud Explosion Bomb" fired by the shaking body was easy to deviate from the direction. If it weren't for the cover provided by Xiaobai, it would have been blown away by the wind. However, Xiaobai's loss was relatively large. If he continued to support it, he would have no spare energy to deal with the Ghost Banshee. I don't know if the Ghost Banshee would be smart enough to hide and try to tire Xiaobai to death.
Fortunately, the Devouring Ghost can only reduce the physical strength of the Corpse Witches, while the Corpse Witches can directly kill them, which is much more direct and effective. In order to further create a favorable situation, I sent Hader into the battle. Its "Netherworld Fire Rain" is suitable for dealing with clustered enemies, and its range and power are both above my "Netherworld Will-O-Wil." I activated the "Touch of Death" to add a layer of protection to it, and rushed forward to start a crazy attack, sweeping a large area. After the rain of fire, it was basically swept away, and there were few survivors. Although the role of an individual is limited, there are more than 2,000 Corpse Witches as a backing, constantly releasing powerful group magic, and with the protection of the "Touch of Death", I am not afraid of the cold wind for the time being. Standing in front of the Corpse Witch army, it looks quite imposing. In coordination with Had's counterattack, Xiaobai also released "Wind Breaks the Sky" to try his best to disrupt the Devouring Ghost's formation. I must put as much pressure as possible on the Ghost Banshee and lure it to directly participate in the attack. Only in this way will it release the "Void Form" and reveal its true form, giving me the opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
Perhaps it was because she saw that her offensive was already somewhat unstable, or perhaps it was because she felt that Xiaobai had consumed a lot of energy and was already vulnerable, the ghost banshee finally revealed her true form and launched a direct attack on the Corpse Witch Corps. However, her attack method was quite unique. Instead of blowing a stronger wind, she howled and made an extremely harsh sound, which made you lose your physical strength and your mind shake, making it difficult to concentrate. This was an extremely large-scale attack skill, and more than 2,000 Corpse Witches were affected to varying degrees, and their offensive was stagnant. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fifty-three ghost kings also appeared together, gathered above the Corpse Witch Corps, formed a siege on Xiaobai, and jointly performed the "Evil Soul Snatcher". The power of the fifty-three "Evil Soul Snatchers" was superimposed, and even Xiaobai could not resist it. He could no longer stand and was blown aside. Wherever the evil wind passed, it quickly blew away the protective net that Xiaobai had painstakingly built, and directly attacked the Corpse Witch Corps. The affected Corpse Witches were even more unbearable, and were blown to pieces and defeated.
The ghost banshee is indeed a veteran royal family, and she really has some tricks. With this arrangement, she completely defeated our seemingly powerful defense in one fell swoop. The defeat was inevitable, and it was difficult to reorganize the team. I felt Xiaobai's apology, and it was also because it was under too much pressure. Almost all of its energy had to be invested in helping the corpse witch army resist the dark wind. In addition, it had just become a demon and lacked experience, so it was bullied by the dozens of ghost kings and suffered a surprise attack, which led to the chaos of the corpse witch formation. But it really can't be blamed. Going deep into the enemy's home field to fight, the weather, terrain, and people are not favorable, and you still expect to gain an advantage? I can only say that I was too optimistic about the problem before.
Although the defeat is inevitable, it does not mean that I have no power to turn the tide. The most elite assault team under my command is far beyond the reach of ordinary corpse wizards. No matter the banshee's shrill howls or the "evil spirits" gathered by the Ghost King, they are not the main targets of attack. They all retain basically intact strength. As long as I can defeat the ghost banshee in one fell swoop, victory will still belong to me.
I tried my best to calm down, issued a surprise attack order, then identified the location of the ghost banshee, linked up with the three corpse kings to launch a "mental attack", and fought hard with the ghost banshee who was howling triumphantly. And Red Star's "life-seeking flying gun" also quickly penetrated the ghost banshee's body after the ghost banshee was suddenly attacked. Now it is in normal state, even physical attacks can bring 25% damage to the ghost banshee. In order to win, we must use all means to inflict damage.
