Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

Accompanied by the sound of "puff puff puff" into the flesh, the lead bullets penetrated into the rotting bodies of the undead like a storm.

Those ordinary zombies transformed from human corpses, as long as they are hit by lead bullets, their limbs will be broken and their flesh will be splashed.

Even the giant walking corpse transformed from the corpse of a huge ogre cannot withstand the shooting of human muskets.After the lead bullets were shot into their thick, foul-smelling skin, they suddenly released radiant energy in their bodies, and then exploded suddenly.A shot of buckshot can create a huge cavity in the body of the giant walking corpse.

The enemy's firearms are so powerful, far beyond Count Noctos' expectations.

Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Valentina came over, observed carefully for a while, and said, "Humans should have engraved some kind of magical imprint on their bullets. In this way, the bullets will be attached to it." It is said that the Marquis of Lamanche is a magician who is very good at making all kinds of magic props. Are there no spellcasters of this profession in your hometown?"

Count Noctis snorted, but did not answer Valentina's question.Even if the strength displayed by the enemy is unexpected, he will not waver.

"So what? I want to see if the enemy's enchanted lead bullets are enough to kill all my undead army!"

The earl's army is still advancing.Taking advantage of the gap when the infantry unit attracted a large amount of enemy firepower, the vicious bats who had just set off from Black Castle more than ten minutes ago arrived at the sky above the human army formation first.

Earl Noctis immediately ordered that these be powerful enough to grab a full-grown flying monster and swoop down on the human artillery emplacements.

As long as the opponent's artillery is dealt with, and the necromancer colossus suppressed by the artillery fire is put back into the battlefield, the victory is still secure.

The Dire Bat attack is well timed, right after the human musketeer's reload gap after a round of fire.The melee infantry couldn't react for a while, and only the giant shield crossbowmen could launch a counterattack against the fierce bats that swooped down.

The giant shield crossbowmen took out a cowhide water bag from their waists and poured it into the quiver.Then, they took out the crossbow bolts stained with crystal water droplets, wound them up, and fired.

After this kind of crossbow hit the target, the ferocious bat immediately let out a scream of pain, and the wound expanded rapidly like a cup of flame.

During the dive attack, corpses kept falling from the black cloud-like swarm of ferocious bats.

Ma Youfu's army preparation for the undead is not a joke.For this reason, he gathered almost all mages who met his requirements in Provence to engrave the magic mark on the lead bullets used by the musketeers.

This was originally an artificer's exclusive ability, but after Ma Youfu split it, it became the two steps of "engraving on a metal object" and "instilling magic power into the imprint".

In this way, two steps can be completed by the craftsman and the caster respectively to achieve mass production.

Of course, it is said to be large-scale, because the craftsmanship required to engrave the magic imprint on the lead bullet is extremely high, and the caster must also have learned at least one evocation spell of the radiant energy type, and know how to control the radiant type of magic power.Therefore, the production speed of enchanted lead bullets still only stays at the level of refined manual workshops. Before the start of the war today, only a total of more than 700 bullets were produced.Among the four hundred musketeers, each of them only had about four enchanted lead bullets.

Compared with the ammunition used by musketeers, it is much easier to make the weapons of giant shield crossbowmen and melee infantry restrain the undead.

It is only necessary to set up more holy water basins in large and small churches in Provence.Through the prayer ceremony, the water in the holy water basin gets holy power and becomes holy water containing the power of the seven saints.Then, pour this holy water into a specially treated cowhide water bag, and it will maintain its effectiveness within a month.

As long as it is a cold weapon that does not touch fire, after being poured with holy water, it can greatly restrain the undead and other evil creatures.

Although it is not difficult to produce holy water, but to mobilize so many churches and do a good job of storage, so that every soldier can have at least two bags of holy water when the war starts, it is not small in terms of logistics management and financial supply challenge.

If it weren't for the fact that the two major trading companies have rich financial resources, and have recruited a group of educated talents for the army and established a professional logistics department, Ma Youfu would not have been able to equip the army with such a complete set of special materials for dealing with the undead. .Not to mention other rulers who are still at the level of feudal lord management.

The giant shield crossbowman's air-to-air shooting killed almost one-fifth of the ferocious bats, and slowed down the opponent's dive speed, but after all, they couldn't stop them from attacking the artillery positions.

Taking advantage of the short time gained by the giant shield crossbowmen, the gunners left their gun positions one after another and retreated to the rear.

Count Noctis looked at the fleeing human artillery with a smug smile on his face.It's just that he didn't notice that before the artillerymen fled, they threw black objects the size of fists onto the artillery array one after another.

Seeing the human artillery running towards the cavalry formation, Count Noctos gave an order to the ferocious bat: "Leave those humans alone, destroy those artillery!"

The saliva secreted by the dire bat is sticky and thick, which can quickly block the fire door of the cannon, making it impossible to fire on the battlefield.In this way, the enemy's artillery can be quickly incapacitated, and the cannon can be captured as intact as possible.

After the Necromancer Colossus was suppressed, Count Noctis had to admit that the artillery made by the Marquis of Lamanche was not bad, not inferior to the artillery of the Human Empire in the world of Anduri.After it is captured, it is not difficult to transform it into a cannon that uses necromancy gunpowder.

But when the vicious bats landed on the artillery position and were about to destroy the cannon, an explosion of white light shattered the wishful thinking of the vampire lord.

Since coming to this world, since the first battle with the wool soldiers in the monastery, Ma Youfu, who has been using grenades, will of course develop the usefulness of this weapon to the fullest.

He specially equipped each artillery squad with a holy light grenade.This kind of grenade is not loaded with much gunpowder, so it will not damage the artillery, but the dozens of lead bullets that fly out from the inside when it explodes contain radiant energy, which can effectively kill the undead.

Amidst the sound of explosions, the infantry company adjacent to the artillery position began to move, and went to clean up the group of vicious bats that had been maimed by grenades.

Because the spearmen were in a hollow phalanx, they turned more flexibly. They turned around immediately and entered the artillery position.The musketeers began to fire freely.For a while, gunpowder smoke filled the air, gunshots continued, and from time to time, fierce bats pierced by spears screamed.

"My lord, your flying troops are about to be wiped out. And those slow-moving zombies have already lost a lot before they rushed to the opponent's formation..." Valentina looked at the crystal ball, although she was just narrating The facts on the battlefield, but her words still made Earl Noctis irritated.

"Shut up!" The vampire lord said sternly, "I still have magic crabs, a total of 24 corrupted magic crabs!"

The undead know no fear, will not be hungry or tired, theoretically speaking, they are the best soldiers.

But it is not an easy task to turn these creatures that only act out of hatred for the living into an organized and disciplined army that obeys the command of the superior.

After dozens of generations of hard work, Anduri's necromancers finally found a way to effectively command a large number of undead.

Through the special necromancer magic circle, they connect their will with the soul fire of the undead under their command, so that they can command the army like an arm.

But this approach also has a huge flaw.

When the undead army suffers losses, every time a soul fire is extinguished, the will of the controller will be backlashed by the unwillingness and resentment released by the undead when they die.

If this kind of backlash accumulates more and more, exceeding the limit of the controller's will, then he will fall into permanent madness and completely lose his mind.

Therefore, when the loss of the undead army exceeds a certain limit, if its controller is wise, he will choose to directly cut off the connection with the army.Although doing so will cause the undead army under his command to lose control and suffer a lot of losses, it can protect the controller himself.

At this time, because the zombie sailors, giant walking corpses, and dire bats all suffered huge losses, Earl Noctis was constantly tormented by the resentment of his extinct subordinates.

His mood became more and more irritable, and he pinned all his hopes of victory on the Necromancer Colossus and the Corrupted Demon Crab.

At this time, in order to save the artillery positions, the human infantry line was out of touch.Earl Noctis saw this opportunity and ordered all the corrupted magic crabs to rush towards the gap.

These huge shell monsters charge with astonishing momentum, and the soft sand trembles rhythmically.The giant shield crossbowmen and musketeers retreated immediately and hid in the middle of the hollow phalanx in time, avoiding the fate of being slaughtered.

Ma Youfu had dealt with corrupted demon crabs before, and he knew that this undead creature was extremely heavy and had an amazing impact, so he doubled the thickness of the hollow phalanx.

But even so, when the Corrupted Demon Crab charged into the spear array, it pierced through the array almost instantly.

If it weren't for the eight field priests who voluntarily supported the Diocese of Provence, who kept singing and shouting, performing magic spells, and boosting morale, I am afraid that this round of impact might really collapse the human infantry line.

The situation gradually stabilized.Even if the spearmen's weapons are smeared with holy water, it is difficult to pierce the thick carapace of the corrupted demon crab.However, they have completed the mission by stagnating these extremely powerful monsters.

The musketeers and crossbowmen were also unable to maintain their formation, but each looked for a favorable position to shoot freely at the huge corrupted demon crab that was like a live target.

Count Noctis was too impatient, causing the Corrupted Demon Crab to charge prematurely, so that he was out of touch with the undead infantry who were still climbing slowly behind.

Therefore, as long as Ma Youfu wiped out the corrupted demon crabs as soon as possible, he would be able to free up his hands to easily deal with the huge number of zombie sailors and those giant walking corpses.

Chapter 370 Our Army Has Been Defeated

However, if the human army cannot eliminate the corrupted demon crabs as soon as possible, the battered formation will not be able to reorganize in time, and it will fall into an absolute disadvantage when facing a large number of undead infantry troops.

Therefore, Ma Youfu joined the cavalry as a reserve at this time.

Joan of Arc, who had been waiting impatiently behind, immediately clamped her horse's belly, and rushed out at the head of the horse.

Her fluttering silver hair and golden pupils burning with a strong fighting spirit are quite different from her usual image.It's just that the cavalry following her charge didn't care about the changes in the appearance of the Holy Maiden.Ma Youfu said that Joan's change was because she had acquired new abilities.The fighters immediately accepted the explanation, and even welcomed it.

Because, the new changes of Lady Saint can bring them more hearty victories on the battlefield.

The cavalry led by Joan made a semicircle on the battlefield, arrived at the right front of the infantry line, and then began to charge towards the flank of the corrupted demon crab swarm.

She drew the sword of Saint Catherine.Amidst the battle roars of many cavalrymen, the holy sword suddenly began to burn.The raging flames spread rapidly and attached to the weapons of the nearby cavalry.Then continue to jump and spread, until the entire cavalry unit, the weapons in their hands are attached to the power of Hephaestus, the Greek god of fire.

After a period of hard work, Joan successfully separated the residual jealousy of Vulcan from its flame power, and then merged it into Aphrodite's lust priesthood.

In this way, when the Holy Maiden sees her lover surrounded by other women, even if she feels jealous, she will not have the urge to destroy everything with flames, but she will want to do it very much.Apart from making Ma Youfu more and more tired, no one was injured by it.

It is gratifying to congratulate, gratifying to congratulate.

And the pure power of flames allowed Joan to gradually acquire many new abilities.The power she casts now can enchant the weapons of up to [-] warriors with flames, which Ma Youfu calls "the halo of divine flames".

This kind of flame contains high-dimensional power such as divine power, so the effect is stronger than ordinary magic flames.Even if the cavalrymen's weapons strengthened by the divine flame are not included in the extra impact force given by the charging state, they can effectively break through the thick carapace of the corrupted demon crab.

The corrupted demon crab, which was entangled with the spear infantry, was attacked by two hundred cavalry led by Joan of Arc, and more than half of them were killed or injured in one fell swoop.

Seeing that the deep-sea undead monsters he had placed high hopes on suffered heavy losses before they overwhelmed the human front, Earl Noctis put all his final chips on the undead colossus.

Now, the human spearmen and cavalry surrounded the corrupted demon crabs one by one, and continued to charge and kill them.At this time, it happened to give the Necromancer a good opportunity to bombard it with long-range artillery.

In the dense and chaotic battlefield, as long as one shell penetrates through it, it can cause objective damage, plowing a road of flesh and blood in the human battle formation.Not to mention, the Necromancer Colossus with three bursts of revolving cannons has an astonishing rate of fire. It can definitely blow up all the human soldiers who gathered together in a short time and run away.

Although the opponent's artillery was saved, the artillery position had already been reduced to a battlefield where corrupted demon crabs and human soldiers strangled each other.Without the cannon, Ma Youfu's army had no means of countering the Necromancer Colossus at all.

Thinking of this, Earl Noctis still had confidence in victory.After he gave the bombardment order to the Necromancer Colossus, he waited patiently for the action of the killing giant.

Because it was hit by several twelve-pound shells in succession before, the response of the Necromancer Colossus was much slower.After it managed to stand up, something happened that made Count Noctis fall into despair.

A series of huge footprints suddenly appeared out of thin air on the beach next to the Necromancer Colossus.Immediately afterwards, a stocky and tall metal humanoid construct suddenly appeared.

This is Ma Youfu's Mark I golem.

Although this metal construct is two-thirds shorter than the Necromancer Colossus, its ferocious aura is not bad at all.

After approaching the Necromancer Colossus through invisibility, the Mark I golem immediately launched an attack.

First of all, forty rounds of enchanted lead bullets, which are equivalent to the enhanced version of the classic attack spell "Magic Missile", were fired from the shoulders and back of the golem.

These lead bullets dragged a light blue trail of arcane energy, and they all hit the knee joint of the left leg of the Necromancer Colossus.It was originally hit by a twelve-pound gun, and now it was hit by a concentrated bombardment like a metal storm, and it broke apart with a snap.

The Necromancer fell to the ground.

The colossus consciousness condensed by countless tormented souls of the dead let out a low whistling sound full of resentment and destruction.

Constructs without emotions are not affected, however.

The Yangyan bodyguard on the Mark I golem started to activate, and at the same time, the blades on both arms spread out rapidly.It jumped up, jumped directly onto the Necromancer Colossus, and then began the dismantling project calmly and efficiently.

After being hit by metal objects weighing more than half a ton, the body of the Necromancer Colossus immediately made a crackling sound, and collapsed a large piece.Then, there are wooden boards, iron sheets, scarlet pieces of meat, whitish human tissues, etc., all the materials that make up the Necromancer Colossus were cut off piece by piece, and then roasted by the mixed energy of flames and brilliance.

The air near the Necromancer Colossus was filled with a burnt smell.

At this moment, in Castle Black, Valentina looked at Count Noctis who was staring at the crystal ball, but did not speak.

She could feel that the current vampire lord, because of the destruction of the undead colossus she was proud of, coupled with the continuous loss of undead troops, was suffering from more and more serious spiritual backlash, and was close to the edge of madness .At this time, it is best for a smart person to say nothing, and then quietly look for opportunities to escape.

Suddenly, Earl Noctis' tall body trembled violently, causing the golden armor on his body to make a rattling noise.

Then, in his red eyes, the craziness and chaos that had been churning suddenly disappeared, replaced by blood-like richness and depth.

"Our army is defeated." Earl Noctis whispered.

After successive losses of ferocious bats, corrupted demon crabs, and undead colossi, although he still retains more than [-] zombie sailors and giant zombie troops, if he continues to fight, he will not only be unable to cooperate with the human multi-armed troops. If you don't win, you may lose control due to the backlash that is getting stronger and stronger.

So Earl Noctis decisively severed the spiritual connection with the magic circle.

The undead who lost their command suddenly became a mess.They instinctively hate the living, but also instinctively fear the light.In broad daylight under the sun, under the attack of the human army with sufficient reserves of holy water, even if the number of these undead is huge, it is only a matter of time before they are defeated.

Count Noctis gave the order to Black Castle to evacuate, then walked up to Valentina and sat down.After pouring himself a glass of scarlet wine and downing it violently, he said, "Now, Ms. Valentina, we can talk about cooperation."

"From 'mouse-like dark elf' to 'Ms. Valentina', my lord, the rapid change in your attitude is admirable." A smile appeared on the corner of Valentina's mouth.

"Although I am a proud blood nobleman, wisdom and rationality are the principles of my actions. Since I have lost this battle to test the strength of the enemy, it shows that the civilized race on this planet is not what I imagined. I need to reassess the opponent's strength and try to increase my own strength. Finding a reliable ally is an effective way to enhance strength."

Valentina nodded: "Your Excellency the wise blood noble, now that you have a correct understanding of the enemy, we can indeed have a serious talk."

Thanks to the excellent performance of the human army, Valentina believes that she can complete the task assigned by Strozzi very well.She recalled the Marquis of La Manche who she had dealt with before, and said to herself: "I didn't expect him to defeat the mighty undead pirates this time. That Siris always surprises people. I chose him, and sure enough That's right. According to Strozzi's arrangement, I will meet Ma Youfu again soon. At that time, do you want to give him a little sweetness? Hee hee..."
