Blood Dragon

Although the distance is far away, those monsters that are rushing towards the army are indeed ghouls.At this time, this twisted and weird beast rushed out of the mist, while letting out a beastly low growl, it rushed straight towards the giant sword soldier's position.Leto noticed that the formation of the ghouls, although quite chaotic, was somewhat orderly on the whole.From the looks of it, the vampires have already lined up their battle formations as quickly as possible.

The harassment of the cavalry just now did not seem to have the expected effect.However, that's all.

But it's a little surprising that vampires would let ghouls play the front line.All the records clearly pointed out that despite the wild and weird appearance, the ghoul is actually a rather cowardly creature.As long as the battle is unfavorable, or the number of enemies is found to be large, these monsters will choose to flee - the reason why they enter the battlefield is the powerful magic and will of the vampire itself.Therefore, although the ghoul's claws are highly poisonous on the surface, and it has a strong ability to endure damage, its combat effectiveness in actual combat is mediocre.It's fine to fight against the wind and let the ghouls take charge of the assault-this makes it impossible to understand what the vampires want to do.

"Why did the vampires let these ghouls be the front line?" Leto asked the people around him.He originally thought that the vampire would send his elite graveyard guards as the vanguard.

"Your Highness, I guess it's because he didn't expect the bat swarm to be wiped out so cleanly." A subordinate replied. "He was counting on the bats to entangle the artillery. If that's the case, it's not surprising to have the ghouls on the right flank. It's just that when he finds that the bat swarm won't delay much time, he can only let the ghouls The ghosts are attacking, because it is too late to change the battle formation."

"Ha, that's all it is." The subordinate's reasonable explanation put Leto in a good mood.The vampire has lost his most difficult unit--indeed, the bats are the most troublesome kind of unit.They may not be able to talk about combat effectiveness, but they are definitely extremely difficult to deal with.According to the intelligence, the vampires frequently let the bat swarms take on tasks such as back-breaking, harassment, and surprise attacks, and the results are very good.The Bin tribe is also helpless with bats, which makes it impossible for them to pursue the retreating enemy in every small battle.As long as you pursue it, you will definitely be intercepted by the bat swarm, and then watch the undead army retreat in the battle with these small animals.

"Pass my order, let the musketeers prepare, and shoot when the ghoul enters the firing range." Leto issued this order lazily.He wasn't worried about the ghouls at all, maybe a round of musketry would scare the monsters away, since there wasn't a black mage among them overseeing the battle this time.And if there is no magical suppression of black magic, ghouls can easily flee.

However, the vampire can't do any tricks now.Leto squinted at Bernando beside him.The latter really stares into the distance.To be honest, the guys from the church like Bernando were really too cautious, and they even superficially tried to find a way out for themselves.Did they think they would lose the inevitable battle?

At this moment, in a place far away from the battlefield, Yilan was sitting on a chair, resting her chin with one hand, staring at the image that emerged in the air ahead.Beside her, stood another figure in a gray and white cloak, watching with him.

In front of them, the air seemed to condense into a mirror, clearly showing the battle that was going on at the purple stone at this time.This picture is not what people on the battlefield see, but is condescending, as if a bird saw something from a bird's eye view from a high altitude.This picture does not seem to be affected by the mist covering the battlefield at this time, everything is quite clear.

"It's so interesting. Those things don't look like ordinary ghouls. Zoom in on the camera." Yilan looked at the troops on the right wing of the vampires with great interest.These ghouls have entered the firing range of the musketeers, so now the white smoke is constantly rising from the rear of Ryan's army, which is the musketeers shooting.But there seems to be a very interesting phenomenon-the musket doesn't seem to have any effect, because none of the ghouls are knocked down by the bullets.

The picture is enlarged.Now, being able to clearly see the charging ghoul seemed a bit different.They're much bigger than normal ghouls - but that's not simply getting bigger.Although this ugly and huge monster is very similar to a ghoul, and has the same hunched body and trotting gait like a ghoul, but their eyes are shining with a terrible evil light, and they are full of desire for fighting.Their bodies are also far tougher and stronger than ordinary ghouls, and bone spurs can be seen protruding from their spines.

"These things are... I remember naming them grave ghosts?" Yilan recognized these monsters.

"So that's the case." The gray-white cloak sighed with emotion. "It seems that we pushed the Scarlet Duke too hard. In order to survive, he had to make a final decision."

"Hehe, it really is the man I fancy, and he is really tough. He is far more cruel, resolute, and ruthless than I expected." Yilan laughed for a while. "If he wants to create a grave ghost, he should cut his own blood vessels and let the ghouls suck his precious blood. He created so many... I remember that the last observation did not find this This kind of monster, which means that he created these all at once. I think, he is probably going to risk his life once."

"But in terms of facts, it's worth it." The gray-white cloak analyzed in a calm tone. "You see, bullets mean nothing to these monsters. They are about to charge into the enemy line. I remember this creature with a deformed metabolic system, but it can withstand even the most severe trauma."

"Leto doesn't seem to have noticed that these are not ordinary ghouls, but it's too late to find out now." Yilan said.Her tone was very relaxed, and she didn't worry about the battle situation at all. "That idiot, he placed the cannon too far... In fact, he shouldn't have chosen such a small place as a battlefield at all."

"It can't be helped. After all, he's just a primitive man on a wild planet." The gray-white cloak also replied in a mocking tone. "You can't ask for too much... Oh, look, the giant sword soldiers can't stop the charge of these tomb ghosts."

……

"Your Highness, those are not ordinary ghouls!" cried one of the generals.

No matter how slow Leto was, he had already sensed something was wrong.The musketeer's burst of bozzes had no effect at all-not even a single ghoul was defeated.If this still makes people wonder if they have read it wrong, then the next thing will immediately reveal the truth.The archers and crossbowmen in the rear began to shoot towards the sky as usual, using falling arrows to kill and injure the enemy.But it didn't cause any damage.Due to the close distance, Leto could already see a lot of "ghouls" with multiple arrows stuck in them, but they continued to rush towards them fiercely, as if they didn't care about their injuries at all.Ordinary ghouls don't have such a large body, nor do they have the vitality to endure such a degree of damage, nor do they have such ferocious and warlike courage.

Leto's lips quivered.He had already noticed his fatal mistake, but it was too late, he could only hope that the giant sword soldiers could resist the pounce of this monster.

These weird ghouls rushed into the formation of giant sword soldiers with an unusual ferocity and swiftness.

The giant sword soldiers are the elite of Ryan's infantry, all equipped with high-quality breastplates, and holding a two-handed giant sword that can split a heavy armored knight in two.But these sophisticated equipment did not give them an advantage in this terrible battle.Hordes of tomb ghouls fought their way across the front lines with unimaginable force.The leading tomb goblin wields crude weapons such as broken tombstones, ornamental sculptures, or cemetery fences, sweeping aside any warriors who stand in their way.

These gigantic creatures are not lumbering monsters, but lightning-fast killing machines.The battle line of the giant sword warrior was quickly torn apart.Tomb goblins wield their weapons or simply fight with their razor-sharp fangs and claws, which are far more poisonous than ordinary ghouls.As long as the wounds caused by their minions, even the insignificant wounds, can make the human warrior collapse in a few seconds.

"Magic! Magic!" Leto yelled at Bernando, who suddenly awoke from the numbness caused by the shock just now, and realized that he had to do something else.But his reaction was still a little slow, because Bernando was closing his eyes tightly at this moment, muttering words, and he knew that he was trying to cast a spell.

"Damn it, those black magicians interfered with us!" After a long time, Bernando opened his eyes and let out a curse. "However, in terms of casting distance, we have an advantage. As long as we go all out, they will definitely not be able to break it!"

He closed his eyes again.This time, Bernando's expression became extremely serious, and he could clearly see sweat condensing on his forehead.

"My lord, you don't need to panic. This is not a major crisis. It's just a failure in the battle." A subordinate reminded him, which made Leto suddenly come to his senses.By the way, he didn't need to be so gaffe.Now it's just the forwards fighting. It's still too early to say the outcome.Not to mention other things, it is not so easy to break through the thick formation he stepped down.

Although these weird ghouls are still deep into the front of the giant sword soldiers, they have caused heavy casualties.But they are also moving more and more slowly.The giant sword soldiers are all well-trained veterans. They persisted in fighting and defeated a few enemies more or less.On the whole, these monsters are being stuck little by little, and their impact is being absorbed little by little.

Directly in front of Leto, the rest of the vampire's army had emerged from the mist.The formation of the vampires is very simple, obviously laid out hastily, the central part is almost all skeleton warriors, while the left flank opposite the armored knight is all zombies.In the crowd of zombies, there were corpse trucks with disgusting shapes.The vampires and those elite barren grave guards didn't show up, but they were probably hiding in the rear, serving as a reserve team and ready to look for gaps to make an assault.

Bernando let out an angry shout, and suddenly, a bolt of lightning erupted from the fort, violently sweeping across the entire battlefield, jumping wildly among the giant ghouls.The blow worked better than expected.These seemingly immortal monsters couldn't hold on under the blazing lightning, and fell down one by one.After each monster fell, the giant sword soldiers rushed up and slashed their swords until they were chopped into pieces.The twisted life force of these monsters is truly haunting.

This magic became the end point of this assault.The giant ghoul's attack was contained.When the lightning dissipated, the battle had completely turned into a melee and a tug-of-war.Although these powerful monsters are still attacking fiercely, and there are many ordinary ghouls coming up behind them, the giant sword fighters have stabilized their positions.Relying on excellent equipment and orderly cooperation held back the enemy's progress.

After seeing all this, Leto was relieved.He now feels ashamed and angry because of his gaffe just now.
