Master Tongtian

Chapter 159 The Necromancer’s best tactics (34)

Owl Watch.

After taking a deep breath and calming down, Sharina quickly issued a battle order.

"Fighters, free fire! Don't let any undead puppets get close to the sentry!"

"Rosen, deal with those who slip through the net."

"Felin, Darui, you two raise your shields to protect Rosen!"

"clear."

"clear."

Following the order, the sentry warriors began to draw bows and arrows, while the exorcist warriors used crossbows.

‘Quack, quack~~ Beng Beng! ’

One after another, the enchanted arrows emitted a bright yellow stream of light, shooting towards the undead puppet more than a hundred meters away like a meteor on the ground.

Regardless of whether the arrow hits the target or is inserted into the farmland, it will quickly catch fire and turn into a fiercely burning torch.

It's okay to stick it in the farmland, but once it penetrates into the body of the undead puppet, it will burn violently inside the body, scorching the body tissues of the undead puppet.

If an undead puppet is hit by one, its mobility will be greatly affected. If it is hit by two, it will be lit into a human-shaped torch. It will be burned and lose its mobility in just ten seconds.

The undead puppet was only advancing slowly at first, but now it suddenly accelerated.

They howled like a whimper, and when they howled, they occasionally sprayed out various strange mucus from their mouths. At the same time, they spread their arms, leaned forward, and started running staggeringly.

Because of the obstacles of farmland and crops, the running speed is not very fast, and undead puppets often fall down.

But even so, in 20 seconds at most, he could cross a distance of more than 100 meters and rush under the guard wall.

With the combat qualities of the sentry warriors and the exorcist warriors, if the numbers of both sides were equal, or even only a few times different, it would be impossible for undead puppets of this level to rush within a hundred meters.

In the blink of an eye, the enchanted scorching arrow will be shot,

But there were too many of them. With a huge gap of 7 times, undead puppets continued to penetrate the defense line composed of arrows.

The fastest ones were less than 60 meters away from the protective wall, and the smell of rotting corpses in the air became very strong, making people sick to smell it.

This scene is truly appalling.

The exorcist warrior was okay, but the sentry soldiers all looked horrified, and their archery hands began to shake. Only the sentry captain Angelou could barely remain calm.

"Rosen!"

Xia Lina was also unable to bear the huge psychological pressure, and loudly called for a spell to strike.

"coming!"

Following these words, a whistle-like sharp sound accompanied by yellow-white light spots flew out from the sentry, rushing towards the undead puppet that had just entered the maximum range of the missile.

'drop! drop! drop! drop! ’

Each light spot was about the size of a little fingertip. It was excited very quickly and flew very fast. In one second, six light spots actually appeared.

Deft spellcasting. Six consecutive hits of extraordinary missiles.

Because the scale of the spell is extremely small, less than 30%, the maximum casting speed is extremely fast, coupled with the master-level proficiency, it results in a violent attack effect of six bullets per second.

And because of the use of Thrandis's parallel casting technique, the actual casting difficulty is only about 5 stars.

The most shocking thing is that the yellow-white light spots are like a goddess scattering flowers. They seem to be scattered, but they penetrate into the mouths of different undead puppets with extreme precision. After rushing into their chests, they explode violently.

‘Bang bang bang bang~~’

The scorching flames were scurrying around inside the body of the undead puppet, half of which penetrated into the abdominal cavity, and the other half of which sprayed out from its mouth, eyes, and nose, instantly rendering it incapacitated.

But he was not dead yet. After falling to the ground, he still slowly but surely wriggled towards the sentry post.

But the threat to the sentry has been lost.

Feilin burst out laughing: "Rosen, your spells are getting more and more powerful!"

It wasn't so violent last time.

Rosen smiled faintly: "I have been practicing hard during this period."

After that, the missiles always appeared in time and accurately intercepted every undead puppet that slipped through the net, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.

But Sharina was still worried: "Rosen, do you have enough magic power?"

She kept counting silently in her mind. From before the war started to now, Rosen had released more than 40 spells.

Although the power is not very strong, considering that Rosen has just reached the middle level, even if it is all low-level spells, it is not close to reaching the limit.

Rosen gestured to her, meaning: "Don't panic, I still have 90% of my mana."

Can do this.

One is to save energy through dexterous casting.

The second is the powerful blue potion.

To be honest, the mana he consumes with small missiles is actually almost the same as the recovery speed.

If the effect of the potion remains, he can release small missiles for a day.

When she saw that there was still 90% left, Sharina immediately became calm and immediately shouted: "Purify all dead souls with the glory of the Golden God!"

'collapse! collapse! collapse! ’

The morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, the frequency of the sound of bow strings increased a lot, and even the hit rate also increased slightly.

The undead puppets continued to fall down, and their number continued to decrease.

About 5 minutes later, more than 90 undead puppets had fallen.

Sharina shouted excitedly: "Fighters, victory is at hand!"

In five minutes, she drew the string 50 times and fired 50 crossbow arrows. She shot down 18 undead puppets by herself, accounting for more than 30% of the results of other warriors.

Another master is Angelou. This guy is excellent in all martial arts and his archery skills are amazing. The undead puppets he shot down were almost the same as Sharina's.

As for Rosen, his fire bombs knocked down more than 30 undead puppets.

There are about 50 undead puppets left in the farmland. The one closest to the log wall is more than 80 meters away and does not pose a real threat to the sentry.

Seemingly feeling that there was no hope of victory, the undead puppet received some kind of order and began to turn around and retreat.

"Shoot! Shoot them all!" Sharina shouted immediately.

All the soldiers also tried their best to string arrows to their bows, leaving as many undead puppets as possible.

Under this wave of attacks, another 20 undead puppets fell. In the end, more than 30 undead puppets successfully escaped from the range of the bow and arrow and escaped into the protection of darkness again.

Sharina let out a breath, shook her sore arm, and spat outside the wall without caring about her ladylike image.

"I thought this Necromancer was so powerful, but that's all."

The other soldiers also laughed, a little excited, but more of the joy of surviving the disaster.

"Captain Sharina, what should we do now?"

Angelou asked. His arms were also sore and numb. After relaxing, his two arms began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

"It's still too dangerous outside. Stay at the guard post until dawn and return to the White Horse Town Temple tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she waved to the soldiers: "Everyone, rest~hurry up to rest and recover your strength, and beware of the Necromancer's second wave of attacks."

As soon as these words came out, another layer of gloom was cast in the hearts of the sentry soldiers.

A sentry soldier asked: "Madam, is there a second wave of offensive? Isn't the Necromancer tired?"

Xia Lina sat down with her back against the parapet, gently squeezed her sore arm muscles, and smiled lightly.

"Of course you will be tired, but certainly not as tired as us."

"why?"

"Because he controls corpses. There is a lot of life energy left in these corpses. What he does is only activate these energies, not the mana itself."

Sharina explained carefully.

"In addition, the bodies of the puppets just now are very rotten and their movements are slow, which means they have been dead for a while and are useless consumables."

"So, this first wave is both a test and a way to consume our strength."

"This is also the tactic that Necromancers most commonly use and are best at."

The soldiers on the sentry suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at each other, and most of the joy of surviving the disaster suddenly disappeared.

Angelou was worried.

"Captain Sharina, we don't have many arrows left, and most of our physical strength has been used up. I'm afraid Master Rosen doesn't have much mana left. If we do it again, we really can't defeat him."

What he said was basically correct, except for Rosen's magic power.

But Rosen did not correct him because he felt that the Necromancer was peeping at them in the darkness nearby.

Sharina also felt that she should do something, so she shouted: "We have to change our tactics."

She climbed to her feet and loudly talked about the new tactics.

"There should be a lot of firewood, kerosene and other defensive materials in the sentry post, right? Take them out and set up a fire line around the outer edge of the protective wall."

"If there is another undead puppet attack and we can't stop it, we will all retreat into the mill."

"The outer wall of the ground floor of this mill is made of stone, which has good defense. Let's climb to the top of the mill and attack from top to bottom. Rosen will light a fire at the same time and let the protective wall burn into a wall of fire, which can greatly delay the attack of the undead."

This tactic is feasible, but it is also a last resort.

The soldiers at each sentry had heavy hearts and silently followed Sharina's orders.

The exorcist warriors, who had been calm all this time, also felt a little uneasy.
