Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 71 The Escaped Wizard

Six black arrows were shot from six directions, targeting the bone dragons that were attacking Gandalf.

Under everyone's expectant gaze, six black arrows flew rapidly towards the bone dragon in the sky.

But... the black arrow passed through the bones of the bone dragon, or hit the hard bones and was bounced off directly, causing no harm to the bone dragon at all.

"The undead are coming!"

Behind the wooden wall, a soldier looked through the gap and saw the undead charging at the chevaux de frise, and immediately shouted loudly to others.

"Fire arrows!"

Following a cry of surprise from the soldiers on the wooden wall, the general commanding behind the wooden wall immediately gave loud orders.

In an instant, thousands of arrows shot out from behind the wooden wall, shooting at the Undead Shield Soldiers who had already rushed to the front of the barricades. (As mentioned earlier, the Witch King of Angmar adjusted the marching deployment)

Looking at the arrows shot from behind the wooden wall, the undead whose charge was blocked by the chevaux de frise raised their shields to block and moved the chevaux de frise that blocked their way.

For a while, arrows kept falling, but the damage caused to the undead was minimal. Even if some arrows could penetrate the shield and hit the undead, they would only hit insignificant bones and could hardly injure the head of the undead core.

Behind the shield skeletons, the skeleton archers also began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, counterattacking the archers behind the wooden wall.

In an instant, more arrows were shot at the Rhovanion soldiers behind the wooden wall.

"Raise your shield!"

Looking at the arrows shot from the other side of the wooden wall, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Rhovanion raised their large shields to protect themselves and the archers.

"catapult!"

At the command, the catapults that had been prepared in the rear began to throw kerosene.

Jars of burning kerosene were thrown over the wooden wall and hit the shield soldier skeletons who were moving the chevaux de frise.

A raging fire instantly broke out among the skeletons of the shield soldiers moving the chevaux de frise, with raging flames and billowing smoke.

Although the undead are not as afraid of fire as the living, they can still be burned by fire.

"Hahaha, you damn monster, taste what it feels like to be burned by fire!"

Looking at the undead souls covered in fire, the soldiers behind the wooden wall laughed heartily, and the pressure in their hearts seemed a lot less.

"Be careful, the bone dragon is coming!"

A cry of surprise suddenly rang out among the soldiers.

Hearing the exclamations, the soldiers looked up to the sky.

Under the soldiers' horrified gaze, three skull dragons unexpectedly gave up bullying Gandalf and flew towards the soldiers along the wooden wall.

Under the horrified gaze of the soldiers, a skull dragon spewed out hot blue-white dragon breath from its mouth, covering the soldiers who had just laughed at the undead being trapped in the sea of ​​fire, and also burned a huge gap in the wooden wall.

The other bone dragon went towards the catapult behind. Under the dragon breath of the bone dragon, the catapult that had just caused great trouble to the undead suddenly caught fire.

The last bone dragon flew outside the wooden wall and above the undead covered in flames.

What spewed out of its mouth was not hot dragon breath, but cold frost.

Covered by frost, the fire burning outside the wooden wall was quickly extinguished and the burning kerosene was frozen.

The sudden turn for the worse shocked everyone.

"Thunder crack!"

At this time, Saruman's ultimate move was finally ready.

In an instant, the sky, which was already covered with dark clouds due to the arrival of the undead, became even darker.

Blue lightning snakes shone in the dark clouds.

"Boom!"

The next moment, six blue thunders fell from the sky one after another and hit a skull dragon in the sky.

The bone dragon that was struck fell from the sky immediately, smashed heavily on the grass, and scattered bones all over the ground. The soul flame burning in the huge dragon's head was extinguished in an instant.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of the remaining bone dragons.

The remaining six skull dragons that had been besieging Gandalf immediately split into four and attacked Saruman, who was preparing to attack again. Thunder was definitely more powerful than light spells in restraining the undead. Of course, in terms of the degree of disgust of the undead towards the two, the light spells were preferred.

Gandalf heaved a sigh of relief as he watched the four bone dragons fly away. If he continued to be beaten by so many bone dragons, he might not be able to hold on.

Looking at the four-headed skull dragon flying towards him, Saruman, who had just started to chant, decisively shut up and cast a defensive shield with his staff.

The next moment, the bone dragon's breath sprayed onto his magic shield.

Now, he and Gandalf have held back six skull dragons and killed one. Six black crossbows against three skull dragons, as long as they can kill two more, this blocking battle will still be fought.

"Skeleton cavalry! Skeleton cavalry are coming up from the Anduin River!"

Just then, shouts of fear were heard from the west.

In the west, in the gentle Anduin River, a large number of undead cavalry came ashore from the river and charged at the soldiers behind the wooden wall like a flood.

The leading Death Knight was like a sharp knife, easily tearing through the formation of the Rhovanion Kingdom soldiers.

A large number of soldiers fell to the sound of the Skeleton Cavalry's galloping hooves, and the western defense line collapsed directly.

"It's careless!"

Seeing the situation in the west, Saruman, who had put up a defensive shield, was horrified.

He ignored the fact that the undead did not need to breathe and could march from rivers.

He knew that they had lost this blocking battle. Under the siege of bone dragons and undead cavalry, even the soldiers here had no chance to retreat.

After only a few seconds of hesitation, Saruman made a decision in his heart.

Taking advantage of a gap in the bone dragon's attack in the sky, he cast a flash spell.

Saruman's staff suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and when the light disappeared, Saruman was nowhere to be seen.

'The defense line is over!'

Gandalf was conflicted for a moment, and took advantage of the bone dragon's attack to cast the flash spell.

Without the two wizards to attract them, the six-headed skull dragon also joined in the slaughter of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Rhovanion.

In an instant, under the dragon breath of the bone dragon and the charge of 30,000 skeleton cavalry, the battlefield became a one-sided massacre.

~~~
"A familiar escape routine! Saruman, Gandalf, we will meet again soon!"

In the rear army of the undead, the Witch-King of Angmar sneered disdainfully at the two flashes on the battlefield.

If the Lich King Fusu had not stopped him from taking the lives of these two wizards, how could he have left a loophole for these two old friends to escape.

But he also knew that the two wizards had special identities, and Fusu was worried that killing them might attract the gods behind them.

After all, Fusu has not yet gained enough benefits, and does not want to fight against those ignorant gods for the time being.

-------

On the plains of Barad-dur, the commanders of the allied forces gathered in the command tent. The atmosphere was solemn and no one spoke.

The emergence of new dark forces has been beyond everyone's expectations, and now the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, directly pushing the allied forces that were about to win to the brink of defeat.

They have received messages from many parties.

Two hundred thousand undead attacked Mirkwood and adopted the strategy of setting the forest on fire, not giving Mirkwood any chance to delay.

Oropher, the Elf King of Mirkwood, said nothing as he took his 50,000 elves home to put out the fire overnight.

The battle to block Dol Guldur was also declared a failure. The undead army supporting Mordor had already entered the Brown Plains and would probably appear behind them in a few days.

If the orcs of Mordor also took the initiative to attack, then they would be attacked from both sides. And the possibility of this if is very high!

There are now two paths before them.

One way is to defeat the orcs of Mordor as soon as possible at all costs and destroy the Lord of Darkness Sauron first. This way is very risky. Once the undead arrive before they defeat the orcs, the allied forces will face the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Another way is to retreat, retreat before the undead reinforcements arrive, and conserve strength.
