Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 220: First Merit
This is the reality. After seeing the relatively large bone dragon army under my command, the undead wizards who directly participated in the attack, including Qiu Shui Changtian and the other three wizard kings, were all shocked and frightened. I am afraid that they no longer have any expectations for the reward of causing the greatest damage to Almaiti. They probably hope that they can become the lucky ones who give Almaiti a fatal blow in the chaos and fight for another super-valued prize. They can think so and do so, but I can't. If I also have selfish intentions to preserve my strength, the most likely result will be that the bamboo basket will be empty-handed, and everyone will work in vain. No one can expect to kill Almaiti. At that time, after comprehensive consideration, the biggest loss will still be me, who occupies the position of chief undead wizard, and I have to work hard. This damn ghost mission, is it designed based on my strength, so that I can stand up and fight for some benefits for my companions? If I were weaker, without Ibola who could carry out the mission of luring the enemy, and without an army of thousands of bone dragons, I really wouldn't have the ability to take on the tough challenge of Almati.
Of course, without the support of other undead wizards, my bravery alone would not have accomplished anything. The most important help was the "Yin Gathering Chain Array", which was absolutely indispensable. The power displayed by the 108 "Yin Gathering Arrays" set up by more than 10,000 undead wizards was amazing, suppressing the speed of the powerful holy beast-level Holy Angel to the same level as the White Bone Dragon. It seemed that the movements were also affected and not as flexible as before, which would definitely weaken the combat effectiveness of Almaiti to a certain extent. The coverage area was wide enough, and there was no end in sight. In addition, more than 2,000 bone dragons intercepted from it, and the dense Yin Qi gathered had an excellent recovery effect on the undead creatures. It was difficult for Almaiti to get rid of the effect of the formation and exert his due strength. It created a good offensive environment for us, so that it would not evolve into a one-sided slaughter due to the huge gap in individual strength, or let Almaiti easily break through and escape, which had another basic condition for successfully killing him.
Ibola, who successfully completed the task of luring the enemy, has already dodged far away. It is not needed to participate in the battle for the time being. It must first use the gathered Yin Qi to recover from its injuries as soon as possible. The main force of the battle is more than 2,000 bone dragons, which carefully surrounded them from all directions, but did not command them to rush forward to launch an attack. Even though Almati's speed was greatly restricted, his attack and defense capabilities were not affected at all. He was still at the level of a holy beast, and it was impossible to handle it in a short time. We need to have enough patience to hope for success. Such a large battle can be said to be almost all of our strength. This opportunity is only once, and we must not act rashly and easily damage any bone dragon.
Almati had a furious look on his face. He had wisely chosen to give up chasing Ebola. He looked around and flew in one direction instead. He seemed to want to get out of the range of the "Gathering Yin Chain Array" as soon as possible. However, no matter how hard he flapped his wings, he still couldn't increase his speed. He would soon be surrounded by the army of bone dragons rushing in from all directions. As for the more than 10,000 undead wizards who participated in the formation, they only contributed 80% of their mental power and acted as conductors. They did not pose a direct threat to Almati. Therefore, as the dead old man said, even if they were discovered by Almati, they could not destroy the operation of the formation by directly attacking them. They would inevitably have to fight hand-to-hand with the bone dragons. I don't know if these guys, who he didn't even look down on in his normal state, can bring him unexpected surprises.
The first to come into contact with Almetti were naturally the bone dragons under my command. I was too lazy to ask other undead wizards to cooperate in the attack. They all treasured the subdued bone dragons so much that they could not be expected to carry forward their style and contribute to serve as the death squad. They accounted for 60% of the number and more than 90% of the strength. As long as I commanded the 1,000 bone dragons under my command, I could basically decide the outcome of the battle. More than a dozen bone dragons rushed up at the same time, up and down, left and right, and every direction was taken care of. Almetti was also ruthless. He swung a gun and swept several bone dragons in succession. Bone fragments flew everywhere. The huge body of the bone dragon flew out in response to the gun, and it was unable to resist. It crashed into other companions behind, causing people and horses to fall to the ground. One by one, they suffered serious injuries, showing the super attack power of the Holy Angel. However, his speed and agility were greatly weakened by the "Yin Gathering Chain Array". Almati could no longer dodge all the attacks of the bone dragons in time, nor could he swing the light gun in his hand to knock them all away before the attacks arrived. At least more than half of the attacks hit him. Although he failed to break through the protection of the "Holy Light for Body Protection" and cause direct damage, his strength immediately dimmed a little, and his body trembled, which slightly affected his subsequent actions. His movements became a little distorted, and several bone dragons escaped his counterattack.
The injured white bone dragon did not continue to fight, but temporarily retreated to the side, absorbing and converting the abundant Yin Qi to heal its injuries. As long as the body was not seriously damaged and the vitality was not greatly depleted, the damage to its mental strength could be quickly recovered, and it was completely able to catch up with the second round of attacks, without sacrificing in vain. The intact bone dragons behind it would then pounce on it and launch a fierce attack. This was a protracted battle, and we had to fight with Almetti with absolute advantage in numbers and exhaust him, so that we could have a chance of winning.
Every time, more than a dozen white-bone dragons would pounce together. After being repelled by Almetti, the injured would withdraw, and new forces would be quickly added to launch a new wave of attacks. Without hesitation or delay, they would never give Almetti more breathing time, allowing him to easily break through the perimeter of the formation. I don't have the time to argue with other undead wizards and tell them to do whatever they want. The example has been set, and whether to advance or retreat is up to them to choose. They are all top players, and they should understand the principle of interdependence. No one would be stupid enough to let me consume Almetti's strength first and let them take advantage, right?
The speed of the bone dragon was not as fast as the bone dragon. It arrived at the battle circle after several waves of attacks. Most of them should be the subordinates of Qiu Shui Chang Tian, Tian Xing and Qing Wu Fei Yang. They did not stop and wait. They took advantage of the gap when the bone dragon's attack was repelled and rushed forward. In this way, they expressed their respective attitudes. The bone dragons were not as strong as the bone dragons. They were hit by the light gun of Al Metti. The first few who bore the full force of the attack were killed immediately. The following ones were also seriously injured and many bone fragments were smashed. However, they still relied on the absolute advantage in numbers. More than half of the bone dragons attacked Al Metti. They did not cause any direct damage, but consumed a little more of his mental and physical strength. With the support of other undead wizards, the bone dragon's attack became even more fierce, leaving Almetti with even less time to react. He needed to dodge and attack constantly. Without the absolute advantage in speed, it was a fatal blow to Almetti. He seemed a little stretched in dealing with the siege of multiple people. He could still exert most of his strength, but he no longer had the domineering aura of a super strong man who was invincible.
According to the attack power of El Metti, if he could concentrate all his efforts to deal with one, even the bone dragon could be killed with one strike. However, every time he was besieged by more than a dozen bone dragons, it was impossible to use the method of thrusting the spear straight to exert the greatest killing effect. In order to more effectively reduce the attack on himself, he basically swept the spear horizontally and forcibly drove away as many bone dragons as possible. The main purpose should still be to rush out of the range of the "Gathering Yin Chain Array" as soon as possible and get rid of the restriction on his speed. Unfortunately, under the influence of the "Gathering Yin Chain Array", facing the more than 2,000 bone dragons we gathered, his breakthrough plan could not be implemented smoothly. He encountered stubborn sniping and had to repel at least one wave of attacks every time he advanced. Anyway, as long as he was not killed with one strike, the body would generally not be damaged too much. Most of the loss was mental power. He retreated to the side with the help of the almost substantial Yin Qi that filled every bit of space. It would not take long for him to recover and continue to fight. As long as they live, they fight without stopping. They take turns to fight, which is equivalent to at least five times the combat power of the bone dragons. They try their best to trap Almati in the "Juming Chain Array". While constantly sacrificing, they also pay a certain price.
If in the human world, the quality of the subordinates is still important due to the limitation of "summoning the dead", then in the "dead space", the human wave tactics that emphasize quantity are the only way for us undead wizards to enhance our strength and deal with or subdue higher-level undead creatures. Every battle where the weak defeats the strong is almost always accumulated with the lives of many low-level undead. Fortunately, I have never relaxed my expansion of strength. Even when Wu Ma evolved, I was trying my best to seize every opportunity to subdue the white bone dragon and ensure that I had enough bone dragon legions to dispatch. Otherwise, it would not be easy to entangle Almaiti. It's a pity that Qiu Shui Changtian and the others were promoted to the sixth-level magician profession too late. If they could advance a month or two, they might be able to subdue hundreds more bone dragons, and this battle would be more certain.
More and more bone dragons died in the battle, but their sacrifice was not in vain. Almetti was trapped in the "Gathering Yin Chain Array" and could not break out smoothly. His weapon was still a light gun, which he kept waving and sweeping away the bone dragons that attacked him, but he had changed his armor, eliminating the light armor with a pair of light wings and replacing it with solid heavy armor. Under the continuous attack of the bone dragons, the "body protection holy light" finally couldn't withstand the consumption. The protective ability was getting lower and lower, and it could no longer effectively block the attacks of external forces. The main body began to suffer direct damage continuously, forcing Almetti to strengthen his own protection. With the strength of the bone dragon, it could only cause him a little slight damage, and he still showed a very strong performance without showing any signs of decline. However, without the assistance of a pair of light wings, Almetti's speed was further reduced. He often repelled several waves of attacks in succession before he could find an opportunity to move forward a few steps. He was exhausted from dealing with the attacks that followed one after another, and it was even more difficult to break through the siege.
The Bone Dragons and Green Bone Dragons that dared to fight had almost all been lost, and the rest were all hovering on the periphery. The other twenty or thirty undead wizards, including Qiu Shui Chang Tian, had almost fulfilled their responsibilities and could no longer help much. They left a few of their men behind in the hope that they could fight at the last moment and see if they were lucky enough to be the lucky one who gave Al Mity a fatal blow. They estimated that Al Mity would not fight until it was determined that it would be defeated. This is also human nature and there is nothing wrong with it. The pressure was concentrated on me, who had just arrived near the battlefield on Tao Tao. It can be said that we share the same interests. If I can't kill Al Mity, not only will the hundreds of bone dragons under my command die in vain, but I am afraid that I will be blamed for most of the failures, which will affect my reputation. These guys are really insidious. I was originally worried that they would not work hard and would be selfish and unwilling to fight with their full strength. I didn't expect them to be so brave, even more desperate than me. They made my white bone dragons lose a lot of attack opportunities, fought cleanly early, lost their combat effectiveness, and retreated to the side to watch me.
As the person involved and the center of attention, I was definitely unhappy. But I have to admit that this is indeed an excellent countermeasure. It not only leaves me speechless, but also allows me to deal with possible unexpected results. As far as the war is concerned, it did not have much impact. They have already done what they can. I was the main force in the original battle. Without their low-level bone dragons interfering, the offensive I organized would be more coordinated and perhaps more efficient. The all-white bone dragon assault immediately made Almati even busier to deal with. He endured thousands of attacks and killed more than 600 bone dragons and green bone dragons, as well as 200 white bone dragons. The damage he suffered was not serious. The continuous battle also consumed a lot of his energy. In the "Gathering Yin Chain Array", the ability given to him by the Angel of God Michael to recover in the "Dead Soul Space" was also greatly reduced, and it could not play a few effects. As long as we continue to launch attacks and keep the pressure on him, drag him until he shows signs of decline, and we can still preserve a certain amount of strength, there is a great hope of successfully killing him.
Ibola also went to the battle. With the help of the abundant Yin Qi, it has recovered 80% of its condition. The remaining injuries cannot be healed in a few hours, and it still needs some time. Perhaps it suffered a lot on the way to lure the enemy, and hated Almetti to the bone. After observing that his speed had slowed down a lot and the threat to itself was greatly reduced, Ibola showed a strong fighting spirit eager to fight. If I hadn't been suppressing it, I'm afraid it would have rushed over and fought. It was not until there was no interference from the bone dragons under the other undead wizards, and Almetti's "body protection holy light" was in name only and had little protective effect, that I let it mix in with the group of bone dragons and try its best to cause more damage to Almetti.
Without the advantage of speed, the situation was completely reversed. Almetti was completely unable to resist Ibola's "elusive" attacks. Whether he moved to dodge or blocked with his light gun, he was slower than Ibola's attack. It was futile and useless. He could only rely on his own defense ability to bear the damage again and again. Although the attack power of the snake-tipped spear was not enough to cause much damage to Almetti, who was at the holy beast level, it had a very high hit rate. It could almost be said that every shot would hit the target. The cumulative damage effect was also very considerable, leaving countless dense small pits on Almetti's light armor. Combined with the crazy attack of the white bone dragon, his heavy armor had been shattered once, which increased his losses.
In order to stop Almetti from escaping, we had to fight him head-on. The bone dragons were limited in intelligence. Unlike the players, they didn't know how to cooperate and cover each other. Using them as the main force in the battle would inevitably cost us a greater price. Fortunately, I had the strength to kill more than 600 bone dragons in succession. Many of the remaining ones were injured and rotated. Finally, Almetti showed his weakness. He changed his equipment again. He replaced the light gun he had been using with a one-handed sword and a round shield. He gave up the strongest attack form and had to further strengthen his defense. In this way, unless he could consume us to the point where we could no longer maintain the operation of the "Gathering Yin Chain Array" or kill all the bone dragons under our command, it would be even more difficult to rush out.
My white bone dragons gradually gained an absolute advantage. The battle was drawing to a close. Anyone could see that, if nothing unexpected happened, Almadi was already struggling to survive and would not be able to escape. After testing that Almadi was unable to kill the green bone dragon in one fell swoop even with a sword, the thirty-seven undead wizards who had been spectators for several hours were ready to move, and they successively commanded their few bone dragons to join the battle. After all, bringing more damage to Almadi would be very helpful for their reward assessment, and they could also seize a favorable position to make a fatal blow to Almadi. The scene was a little chaotic again, but I didn't care at all. I continued to attack according to the original tactics, but I didn't let the white bone dragon give way to the bone dragons and green bone dragons. No matter who it belonged to, anyone who dared to block it would be kicked away. In addition, the elusive Ibola not only made me the first to receive the most damage, but I also had a great chance of getting the reward for the fatal blow.
