Chapter 296: Undead Siege (3)
The city wall of Kalanli Royal Capital is not very tall, but even this not-so-tall city wall makes the gloom in the hearts of the soldiers who defend the city even more serious.
From a distance, the wave of undead could not be seen, and the cloud of death oppressed everyone's nerves. If they were not well-trained, their hands and feet might tremble when they set up their bows and shoot arrows.
This is not the first time that players have experienced urban warfare.
Just one day ago, they fought against the elves of the Emerald Forest.
However, the sense of oppression brought by the undead is beyond the reach of the elves, even if the elves have a legendary mage.
Some players with trypophobia have squatted on the ground holding their heads.
The bleak southwest wind brings cold air, mixed with the stench of rotting corpses. This rotten smell is unique to the undead army. It can not only interfere with the human sense of smell, but also make people feel more panicked.
"Damn it, it's so cold... What the hell, why is King Kalanli colder than the Emerald Fortress..."
"This should be the cold effect of the undead breath. The buffs are already stacking under your health bar..."
"Ah this..."
A priest player behind him quickly cast a purification spell on himself. The [Abominable Cold] debuff dissipated and he felt a little more comfortable after being roasted by the flames on the city wall.
…
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."
A hissing and lung-splitting whimpering sound came from the wave of undead. All the undead raised their heads and roared. The bottom of the city wall had already been filled with skeleton knights. They only needed to speed up their pace and rush up the city wall on the skeleton knights.
"Hiss, hiss, haha..."
The sound of weeping sighs almost sounded in the ears of all the city wall defenders.
This sigh made the human defenders on the Kalanli city wall wail in pain. They dropped their weapons and fell to the ground, covering their heads.
Some even broke out of the city walls.
The entire defense line on the Kalanli city wall collapsed instantly.
The undead skeleton warriors rushed towards the top of the city wall unimpeded.
Only some veterans and the Crusaders from Winter City still relied on their tenacious will to fight against the charging skeleton warriors.
Players saw an avenue branching out from the undead army.
A vehicle made of white bones slowly drove out. Standing on the vehicle's frame was a girl wearing a gorgeous priest's uniform. She covered her face and seemed to be crying.
That weird sigh came from her mouth.
[Priest of Pain-Silinna-Higher Undead (Level 59)]
[Threat Level: Fatal]
"These soldiers should have been mentally attacked, but we players are completely immune to such mental attacks..."
He touched his chin without doing anything else, and immediately gave instructions in the team channel:
"Warrior players who can shoot arrows take over the soldiers to defend the city wall, mage players attack freely, and priest players clear buffs for human soldiers!"
Just when all the players began to be evenly distributed on the city wall and launch a powerful counterattack against the undead vanguard skeleton army, the much-anticipated epic battlefield mission was finally triggered.
[The mission to rescue Kalanli City has been completed]
[Rewards have been distributed]
[The mission has been refreshed, triggering the epic battlefield mission to protect Kalanli City]
[Task description: The heroic alien warrior relies on his special ability to return to Kalanli City instantly, but the real hard battle has just begun. The number of undead legions is endless, and the mysterious existence behind the undead is still unknown. The entire Kalanli city
The defense line in Licheng is facing severe challenges]
[Task requirement: Persistence]
[Mission rewards: Advanced equipment lottery ticket
), five coins, massive experience points, undead pets (obtained with probability)]
In order for the players to fight with all their heart, Xiwei even lost his face.
Where can he find rare mounts for players?
Not at all!
As for the high-end equipment enhancement coupons and lottery tickets, they only increase the probability.
Other rewards such as loyal followers are actually very simple. Players and these soldiers will always encounter a few followers after life and death.
At that time, just arrange a subsystem binding.
Let’s talk about undead pets, that’s all for nothing.
Massive experience points, you can get energy by killing the undead. The system eats part of it, and the rest is given to the player. All the rewards are only five copper coins, which are real ones, and the rest are just cakes drawn by Xiwei.
But as a ruler, you have to be able to draw cakes.
As for how to cash out the rewards after the war, that will be discussed at that time.
At worst, he can use a hundred flying dragons as mounts for players. Apart from being a bit of a loss, it's also a good idea.
But this is the last option that really has no other choice...
After seeing the mission rewards, all the players got excited. Following the King of Winter, there was indeed meat to eat. Any mission was a big deal.
"Woo-"
Suddenly, a dull horn sound came from the undead army in the distance. On both sides of the giant skeleton chariot, skeleton trebuchets slightly shorter than the skeleton chariot were pushed out by a group of undead.
The trebuchet's ladle was burning with a miserable green undead flame, and the entire structure looked crumbling, quite in the style of the undead being decayed and dilapidated.
"What? These undead can also play trebuchets!?" ωωw.
The players laughed.
Trebuchets pose no threat to professionals like them. Even with the protection of mages, the entire city wall of Kalanli is hardly threatened by backward siege equipment like trebuchets.
"That's not right!" Wu Shi narrowed his eyes.
"They may not be throwing stones, but something else..."
His eyes were sharper and he observed more carefully. He saw two rotten undead soldiers tying a bloody object to the trebuchet's ladle.
"What else can a trebuchet throw if it doesn't throw stones, but corpses? Don't be kidding..."
The player hasn't finished speaking yet.
"Roar--!"
A thunderous roar came from the undead army.
With this roar, these undead also acted in unison to cut off the tight hemp rope on the trebuchet. With a heart-wrenching "bang bang" sound, the trebuchets operated one by one, and the bloody things also
was thrown into the sky.
"I think you guessed it right..."
Looking at the meatballs getting closer and closer, his expression turned ugly.
"These damn undead are indeed throwing corpses, they are throwing themselves over!"
"Be alert! The mage gathers the corpses in the sky and knocks them down for me!"
Chapter completed!
