Chapter 102 An unexpected team battle
The actual area of the Undead Courtyard in Luomen City is much smaller than the 375 Courtyard in Xiongzhu Town, but it is also equivalent to an area equivalent to two or three regular provinces.
The Dead Sea Basin occupies about one-seventh of the entire courtyard. Although it is an area, it covers a very vast area.
Except for the central forest, there are few densely populated tall trees in the Court of the Dead.
The Dead Sea Basin has a flat terrain, and mineral veins have been detected in the hills bordering the forest to the west. The battle between humans and the undead here has never stopped.
"GahRaven, weak, summoned beast, friend." In the southern part of the Dead Sea Basin, a raven stood on Mu Hua's shoulder and spoke incomprehensible words.
"Well, go ahead. It's very dangerous here. Keep those ravens away from here." Understanding the meaning of the ravens, Mu Hua pointed to the group of ravens hovering in the sky.
Because of the death energy, most Warcraft are not adapted to survive in the Garden of the Undead, but there are also some World of Warcraft that are not affected by the Death Energy in the Court of the Undead.
The blind raven is one of them.
Ravens are very smart, and blind ravens are very adaptable and omnivorous. They can also survive by absorbing magic from the outside world.
However, because the Blind Raven is relatively weak among the Warcraft group, it can be said that the Blind Raven, which is at the bottom of the food chain, prefers to stay in an environment with fewer Warcraft.
For example, the Garden of the Undead is filled with the aura of death. You can usually see them more or less in such places.
There are a large number of blind ravens living in the Dead Sea basin. They will eat human corpses, but usually do not actively attack humans.
Blind ravens are relatively weak in aggression, and ordinary people will not suffer any physical damage if they are pecked or scratched by them. However, if they are frightened, they will attack those who scare them after gathering in groups.
Blind ravens are used to avoiding undead creatures, so the only ones that can scare them here are usually humans.
Perhaps, in their hearts, humans are still objects that can fight back.
Following the instructions, the raven on Mu Hua's shoulder flew towards the flock of ravens in the sky. After a moment, with a strange cry, the ravens in the sky flew away in all directions.
These blind ravens are surprisingly easy to talk to.
They were startled by humans because there was going to be a battle here. If they had been hovering overhead, to avoid being attacked by them during the battle, they might become necessary targets to kill before the battle.
"Ha, Mu, that's a good move. I think I also need to get a raven to raise. How did you sign a contract with them?"
Not far from Mu Hua, a thin middle-aged man saw the raven fly away, with a stiff smile on his face. This is a man who is not used to smiling.
"Raise more, raise them from an early age, communicate with them often, and try your luck." Mu Hua said nonsense.
On a low hill with slightly higher terrain, Mu Hua and Tebitha gathered together, watching the undead skeletons surging like a sea of bones in the distance.
Skeleton warriors, skeleton guards, skeleton generals, and ghosts like thick fog gathered in the distance. There were also black-armored skeleton generals wearing black bone armor, and two death knights riding skeleton horses.
When Mu Hua and Tebitha came to the Dead Sea Basin, they happened to run into a small-scale war between humans and the undead.
The human side is led by two demon hunting teams and a large group of garrison soldiers, with a total number of more than 200 people.
The number of individuals on the undead side is estimated to be two to three thousand units.
This battle spread over a large area, and also affected the hunting of Mu Hua and Tebitha. From time to time, adventurers came here to join the human camp, and Mu Hua and Tebitha were also involved.
The pile of skeleton generals summoned by Mu Hua were also valued by the team leader here and became an important support for the human side.
The undead in the distance gathered in formation, and a tense battle was about to break out.
Many people often have some misunderstandings about battle formations. The ultimate purpose of battle formations is indeed to kill the enemy, but its essence is actually to avoid hitting one's own people in chaotic battles, so as to improve the efficiency of killing enemies.
The so-called formations are all fancy and meaningless. To put it simply, it means that when a large-scale attack unit or a long-range unit attacks the enemy, it will not damage the melee unit confronting the enemy in front. As for other statements, it is basically nonsense.
At this time, the undead side had no long-range units, and their formation was not considered a battle formation, but could be seen more as a queue and gathering.
"Chi" The sound of the truck's valve opening.
As the five tractor-trailer trucks opened the doors of the carriages, countless ghostly figures crawled out of the carriages and stood behind the relatively small number of adventurers.
Blue and black skin, goblins, big goblins, jackals, black vicious dogs, two-headed hounds, pig-headed men, and even a few huge ogres.
They have uniform pale eyes and blue-black skin.
Zombies, zombies that have not yet reached the level of zombie demons, are also classified into the sequence of constructed undead. The zombies transformed by the five necromancers are mixed with some constructed skeletons, and they will also become the fighting force of the human side.
Facing the huge number of skeletal undead in the distance, these zombies made the human lineup no longer look so thin.
Unlike corpse demons, zombies' bodies have no vitality at all, and their smell is also very unpleasant.
A light incense spreads, the aroma comes from those zombies, it is the smell of a deodorant developed by the necromancers.
It can eliminate the rotten odor emitted by zombies to a great extent. Of course, if the zombies' bodies are damaged, this deodorant with excellent reputation will be difficult to suppress the smell they carry.
"Ha, high-end game." Mu Hua chuckled, while Tabitha looked at the zombies with some discomfort. Because there are several human corpses inside.
"That's why people have so much ambiguity about the Necromancer. Mu Hua, don't create such a thing in the future." Tebitha said with disgust.
Leading this battle are two teams of demon hunters, one composed of necromancers and the other a group of witches.
These zombies are most likely from the Necromancer's team.
Compared to the more serious necromancers, witches are usually more inclined to cast spells and control ghosts. Even if they have to choose zombies, they will try to choose powerful monster corpses to make corpse demons.
"Attention all, attack!" With the appearance of the zombie army, the skeletal undead in the distance have begun to charge towards the short hill. They are no longer waiting for more undead to gather here.
The death knights further behind seemed to be the commander of this undead army. As the messengers shouted, the casters chanted, and many of them had cannons on their shoulders.
Holding the staff high, the mage chanted incomprehensible words.
Flames, thunder and lightning, earth, rocks, wind blades, the earth shook and surged under the influence of earth magic. The surging water turned the ground into mud, and also caused the charge of the skeleton undead to suddenly slow down.
"Boom"
"Boom"
The rocket dragged its tail flame and exploded into the sea of bones. Flames were everywhere and broken bones were flying. Unfortunately, the result was not outstanding.
Low-level skeleton undead have simple minds, but the reason why skeleton generals are called generals is that they already have intelligence that is not weaker than that of normal creatures.
What's more, the person commanding this undead army is probably a death knight. The formation of the skeletal undead is not concentrated when charging.
Facing these skeletal undead who have no fear, one rocket can only blow up three or four skeletons, let alone stop the skeletal undead from charging.
"Thunder Roar Cannon!"
"Fire Demonic Spear!"
"Burst flame!"
As fireballs and gravel struck the sea of undead bones, higher-level magic blasted into the enemy group as several witches swung their staffs.
Two to three thousand undead skeletons were scattered, and from a distance it looked like a sea of ferocious bones.
"boom!"
"boom!"
The explosion, which was stronger than the artillery, exploded into the sea of bones, and the halo of the magic circle also flashed in the sea of bones.
"Bone wall!"
"Magic barrier!"
"Purification barrier!"
Thick bone walls rose from the ground, magic barriers shimmered with glaze halo, and light rain fell on the low hills. As the defensive magic on the human side was built, many thunderbolts and bone teeth were shot out of the sea of bones.
Lich, in addition to the skeletons and undead, there are also lichs lurking in the sea of bones.
They are spellcasters among the undead, but they are not orthodox undead. They are all transformed from other species. They are the forgotten ones who gave up their original race and threw themselves into the embrace of death.
"Sniper!" the messenger shouted.
"Bang"
"Bang"
"Bang"
The snipers who had been waiting on the low hill for a long time either drew their bows and arrows or pulled the triggers. Their targets were these lichs.
Firearms have very limited damage to the skeletal undead, but these lichs still retain many of their original biological characteristics.
Although hitting the head, eyes, heart, and spine may not necessarily kill them, it can also prevent them from casting spells and restrict their movements.
Estimating the distance, Mu Hua also focused on a lich.
That should be a crimson cat girl. Her originally delicate face is now like dry tree bark, her hair has fallen off, her tail is broken, her body is skinny and her skin is drooping. Take care of your body.
"Fireball!" Instead of using firearms, Mu Hua chose a more effective attack method in the face of this lich who might already be able to use a bone shield.
Dozens of fireballs roared out, and many casters in the battle group subconsciously looked in the direction of Mu Hua.
"Bangbangbang" The arcing fireball caught the lich off guard.
In the continuous attacks, the bone shield was broken and the magic shield was exhausted. Finally, a fireball hit the Lich's face, and another fireball hit the back of its head as it fled.
"Bangbangbang" The snipers who had already locked onto the lich did not miss this opportunity. Before the flames ignited the lich, several exorcism bombs had already bitten into its body.
The head was exploded, the shoulder blades were penetrated, and the spine seemed to be broken. Liches are a kind of transformed undead. They are strong and weak.
The strong one can command the dragon, while the weak one can be beaten by the necromancer.
Obviously, these lichs here do not have such appalling and terrifying abilities.
"Inherent magic?" Among the witch team, a witch holding a thick staff looked at Mu Hua in surprise.
The domain magic in the devil's mouth is recognized by humans as inherent magic.
Mu Hua's fireball technique is quite impressive, but in a battlefield of this scale, explosions of concentrated fire can be seen everywhere, and only commanders who are always paying attention to the overall situation will notice it.
"The ghost is coming! Guard team, drink the potion of spiritual vision!" The witch's surprise could not last. Behind the sea of bones of the dead, a large number of evil spirits, evil spirits and dead souls also rushed towards the short hill.
"Squeaksqueak" The sound of mechanical twisting.
Several tanks turned the direction of their on-board cannons.
"Stab" The rapid-fire bullets no longer sounded like normal gunshots, and the flames of the machine guns swept towards the dark cloud-like ghosts.
