Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 79: Ah San: Our Elephant Cavalry is Invincible
In the territory of Wusun, the 50,000 troops of the Maurya Empire were marching slowly in the desert next door.

In the distant sky, fifteen skull dragons looked at the Maurya soldiers below who were like ants, and each of them couldn't help but have question marks on their heads.

A bone dragon with a wingspan of thirty meters asked doubtfully, "Boss, didn't you say there were three hundred thousand? It doesn't look like there are three hundred thousand at all. Let alone one hundred thousand, I'm afraid there are less than seventy thousand!"

A bone dragon on the right with a wingspan of 50 meters said uncertainly: "Maybe they will march in several groups. This is just one of the groups!"

Another bone dragon on the left with a wingspan of 40 meters heard this and said in surprise: "But the reconnaissance bone eagles didn't find any other troops! Unless they can hide underground, they can't escape the reconnaissance of the bone eagles!"

Listening to his men's discussion, a black bone dragon with a wingspan of 100 meters said in a cold voice: "Why bother with them so much? Kill them first, then extract a few of their souls and see what happens!"

After saying that, the black bone dragon let out a dragon roar and dived towards the Maurya Dynasty army on the ground.

~~~
"Your Majesty, why did you send us to the Western Regions for support? It's hot here during the day and cold at night. What's so good about it?"

"We are not going to fight, we are clearly here to suffer!"

"Who knows how much benefit the Western Regions gave to the King? Anyway, we have no share!"

In the long marching team, several Maurya soldiers walked lazily and complained about the expedition together.

The Maurya Empire's reinforcements to the Western Regions could only bypass the high and cold Himalayas and head north into the Gobi Desert of Wusun.

The detour lasted more than 2,000 miles, and they marched 50 miles a day, and their feet were covered with blisters.

Just as the soldiers were complaining, one of them suddenly asked his companions: "Have you heard? The villagers in the village we passed by before said that they were invaded by the undead. Does anyone know what the undead are? It sounds creepy."

"It should be the name of a country or race." Another veteran shook his head indifferently.

At this time, a soldier said with some concern: "That's not the case! I specifically asked around before, and the villagers all said that the undead are just some undead monsters!"

"An immortal monster?"

Hearing what this soldier said, all the soldiers around him were shocked.

"What immortal monster? There are no such things as ghosts in this world! Even if there really are, can they defeat our elephant cavalry? Our elephant cavalry is invincible. No matter what it is, we can crush it into meat paste with one kick!"

"Anyone who spreads any ghost stories again will be punished by military law!"

After hearing the discussions of his soldiers and seeing that some of them even looked sympathetic, a general immediately shouted at them.

It not only refuted the ghost stories and boosted the morale of the army, but also reprimanded the soldiers and forbade them to talk about ghosts again.

After being scolded, several complaining soldiers immediately shut up.

"hold head high……!"

As soon as the complaining soldier shut up, the sound of dragon roars was heard in the sky.

"Who's making the noise again?"

The general leading the troops immediately shouted angrily. He had just scolded them, and these soldiers dared to make strange noises. They simply did not take him seriously.

"Herod...!"

"Ugh...!"

“Mou…!”

Before the general could find the source of the sound, the horses, sacred bulls and elephants in the army suddenly all neighed in fear and wanted to escape uncontrollably.

"Look at the sky!"

"what is that?"

Some soldiers pointed to the sky and shouted loudly.

Hearing the shouts, the soldiers looked up at the sky. Suddenly, there were more and more screams. The soldiers' faces were full of horror, and they even forgot to control the panicked cattle, horses and elephants.

Hearing the soldiers' exclamations, the general leading the army also looked up at the sky.

In the sky where the dragon roars, fifteen huge bone dragons are swooping down. "What is that?"

Looking at the huge monster swooping down from the sky, the general's face was filled with horror.

Even the invincible elephant cavalry would be eaten in just a few bites in front of such a behemoth.

"hold head high……!"

The dragon roar sounded again, and the huge bone dragon in the sky swooped down to a low altitude.

The next second, the blue and white hot dragon breath was spraying towards the marching soldiers.

Under the horrified gaze of the Maurya Empire soldiers, blue-white flames covered them like an inverted jar in the sky, instantly setting a large number of soldiers on fire.

The screams arose in an instant and then stopped abruptly.

"Monster, run away!"

Seeing their companions being engulfed in white flames and burned to charcoal in just a few breaths, the remaining soldiers were all terrified and fled screaming. The army's formation collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers and livestock scattered across the Gobi Desert like ants running around.

In the sky, a bone dragon was spraying dragon breath directly along the marching route of the Maurya soldiers, burning white scars on the ground.

The sharp dragon claws grabbed the ground like sharp plowshares, directly opening ditches two or three meters deep on the ground. Wherever the dragon claws passed, people and animals were cut in half.

Those elephant cavalrymen who seemed invincible in the eyes of the Maurya soldiers were easily torn apart by the dragon claws and ignited by the dragon's breath. They were simply no match for these bone dragons that were several times larger than them.

The hundred elephant cavalrymen were the main targets of the bone dragon, but they were all slaughtered by the bone dragon in just a few moments.

"Sacred Bull Bless You!"

Some soldiers screamed and ran to the side of the frightened sacred cow, praying non-stop.

But the next second, the dragon's breath swept over, and both the soldiers and the divine bulls in their eyes were ignited by the blue and white dragon's breath, and were burned to charcoal in a few breaths.

A quarter of an hour later, the entire battlefield had become a scorched earth.

"Boom!"

A black bone dragon with a wingspan of one hundred meters dropped from the sky and landed heavily on a battlefield filled with charred corpses. The burning soul flame looked coldly at the charred corpses all over the ground.

Soon after, the other bone dragons also landed one after another, admiring their killing with satisfaction.

"let's start!"

"@#￥%..."

The black bone dragon said something, and then began to utter obscure dragon language. The other bone dragons also began to sing obscure dragon language.

As the dragon's voice echoed, a huge amount of black and gray gas seeped out from the ground and enveloped the entire battlefield.

After a while, ghosts emerged from the corpses on the ground. They were wearing armor and had dull eyes.

The charred corpses stood up from the ground again, and blue flames burned in their burnt eye sockets.

"How many troops do you have here? Where are your other troops?"

Looking at the revived Maurya Dynasty ghost, the black bone dragon immediately asked the ghost general among them.

The dull ghost general replied: "We have 50,000 troops here, and no more troops!"

Hearing this, the Black Bone Dragon was immediately surprised and asked in confusion: "There are only 50,000 troops and no other troops. Didn't they say that there are 300,000 troops to support the Western Region?"

The other bone dragons also looked at each other in surprise. The intelligence clearly said there were 300,000 troops!

The ghost general replied again: "Three hundred thousand is just a claim. In fact, the king only sent our army, which has a total of 50,000 people!"

"Have a drink!" Upon hearing that, the black bone dragon spat in dissatisfaction.

He thought there were 300,000 troops, so he had to run there himself with 15 bone dragons. But it turned out to be a lie. If he had known there were only 50,000 troops, he would not have bothered to run. He could have easily dealt with them by sending five bone dragons. Isn't it nice to sleep in the Undead Mountains?
