Blood tax

Chapter 296 Tactical Control
The chaos in the square alarmed the Summer Palace.Griffith sensed that several powerful auras were surging, and the supernatural beings at the party were about to make a move.

In this case, what Griffith has to do is to stabilize the outer entrance to prevent the living corpses from rushing in to threaten Sonia or cause chaos, and at the same time protect the safety of Miss Mirantis.

As soon as he put the princess down, there were dense sounds behind him, like summer thunder, or like falling rocks crashing down from the top of a mountain.Surrounding the monster suspected of being a death knight, a large group of living corpses like a cloud of poisonous insects in the southern jungle gathered, and began to charge towards the summer palace with all its strength.

They attacked the line of defense with the explosive acid corpses as the vanguard, followed by huge suture monsters and densely packed living corpses, rolling over from the side of the wide square, soldiers and civilians who couldn't dodge wherever they went were killed The tidal devouring disappeared instantly, even wearing solid armor would dissolve in the successive explosions and splashed dark green acid.

These explosive corpse monsters are stronger than the similar ones that appear in Revan, running and rolling on all fours, the corrosive acid explosion has a wider range, and moves faster, quite similar to the self-explosive ball used by Griffith.

A large group of them rolled in densely, and even the powerful noble guards flinched and dodged one after another. Only fifty or sixty foot cavalry at the entrance of the main entrance of the Summer Palace were left standing in their way.

The Storm Squadron couldn't retreat, but the result of sticking to the entrance could only be that everyone was knocked clean in an instant.

"Nona, protect Miss Mirantis and retreat inside!" Griffith didn't have time to hesitate, and decisively issued an order, "Others, follow my orders."

He put the bloodthorn across the saddle, took the ruler and put it on.

The dark golden helmet enveloped him like a cage, and some strange perception surged again.

Griffith felt that he was in the quiet darkness, and the tension and panic receded quietly. The bloody night wind, the beating gravel, the blood foam, many tiny movements were grasped by his consciousness, and outlined Strange picture.

This feeling is completely different from the arena.He seemed to be one with the world, details of killings, threats, hostility, location, and the passage of time presented in an indescribable way, and a suffocating mass of information flooded into his brain like a tidal wave.

The Dominator is scouting the battlefield at lightning speed, identifying the environment and danger signs and presenting them to him.

It is said that a transcendent of the ranger path can control the movement of every flower, stone, plant, and tree on the battlefield, looking for fighters and dangers in the swaying petals and the gentle breeze.Griffith's perception at this time was magnified to such an astonishing level.

Praise to Galadia, and thanks to Lady Aviana!

Come on, undead, let's dance to a tune.

Griffith's sharp gaze pierced through the visor of the helmet, like a scarlet moon sweeping across the surging tide of corpses. He blocked a lot of messy information in the dark, and obtained the ripples of psionic energy that appeared in his mind A scene intertwined with the terrain.

Different psychic ripples allowed him to identify terrifying death knights, huge stitch monsters, swift ghouls, rotting corpses...

Among the layers of monsters, he found the life signal of the acid corpse, as if he found a hidden bush in a patch of grass, and locked it firmly in an instant.

Tactical control starts!

Through the strengthening of the command, Griffith's perception has been magnified to an unprecedented level, and he has obtained a local battlefield map projected on his consciousness, and quickly locked the most threatening unit in the densely packed large group of enemies.

He activated the feather flag with psychic energy, and said silently in his heart, a clear echo immediately passed through the chaotic battlefield filled with wailing and screaming, and directly contacted the captains, deputy captains and some sergeants of the nearby squads.

"Follow my orders, reorganize, and prepare to throw your guns."

The sergeants heard his will and for a moment didn't understand what was happening, but the unwavering discipline of being an elite unit got them into action.

They received orders in a way they had never experienced before. The three squads of armored cavalry and dragoons, with the squad leader, deputy captain, and sergeant as the core, formed ten combat groups of five or six people and rushed towards the tide of corpses. Raised the spear in the direction.

The acid ghoul had already driven out the nearby army like a cripple, and charged towards the only squadron that was still in order in the entire Square Mountain.The acid ghoul is ready to go. The inflated strong corrosive acid and the bloated air bag will burst at any time. Just waiting for it to hit a human will explode the acid that can melt bones and steel.

"volley!"

Amidst the dense whistling sound as if tearing the air, a piece of silver light swept away like falling stars, piercing through the swollen corpses, piercing through their chest cavity and skin pouch.

Buzzing and crackling sounds one after another.The zombie monsters in the front row were exploded on the spot by this head-on shot, and the tumbling tide of corpses seemed to hit an invisible wall and suffocate instantly.

This round of salvo was not enough to destroy all the acid corpses, and more monsters immediately jumped over the exploded ones and approached the foot cavalry.

The moment the projection was completed, the squad leader and the sergeants received a clear will.This will even formed a near-picture track in their minds, ordering them to disrupt the shield wall and dense formation, move in groups according to the direction of the clock, and shoot guns while moving.

The foot cavalry followed the team leader's order, and did not immediately shoot the second round of javelins, but moved in front of the corpse monster that was almost in front of it, and scattered like blooming petals.

The acid corpse rammed towards the squadron, only to find that a large empty space suddenly appeared in front of it, scattered soldiers and gleaming gun forests in all directions.

New orders followed.

"Stop!"

"Shoot at the wight!"

Following Griffith's order, the scattered cavalry had already held their spears in their hands, and turned around to shoot another round of intensive spears at the rushing corpses.Before the rushing monsters had time to disperse and chase their prey, a silver ring had already locked towards them.

The death knights commanding them were stunned.In the hissing roar, the corpse monster was projected from front, back, left, and right. There were no groups of soldiers nearby, and he didn't know where to charge for a while, watching the dense rain of guns pouring on his face.

Bang bang bursts one after another, and the dark green acid exploded into a ball like a flower, splashing on the floor tiles, making a terrifying hissing sound.

"Hiss - oops!"

The last acid corpses swarmed up, and the stitch monsters, ghouls, and ordinary living corpses also skimmed over the rotten liquid that hadn't been drained from the second round of explosions, and rushed towards the scattered foot cavalry.The soldiers who had just projected suddenly turned around together, and retreated towards the surroundings again.

They didn't go far, took off the sharp spears and held them in their hands as they walked, turned around after only eight or nine steps away, and shot another round at the group of corpses surrounded in the middle.

"Oh!"

Throwing spears through the broken flesh of the living corpse, nailing several heads together and falling down together.This round of volley also blasted some of the acid monsters in the crowd of corpses. The acid splashed down and dissolved the remaining bones and carrion of the crowded living corpses.

These three rounds of volleys and two rounds of tugging smashed the tide of corpses.The monsters that were originally progressive in layers became a mess, and there was not a single acid corpse, and other monsters also festered and disintegrated in the overwhelming corrosive liquid explosion.

……

Griffith felt dizzy and almost fell off the saddle.It was the first time he was exposed to such complex battlefield information and used it as a command. His brain was almost bursting, and a hot stream surged in his mouth instantly, and it sprayed out from the corner of his mouth.

He raised his hand to wipe it, and looked down to see blood on the gauntlet.

I didn't expect it to be such a burden on me!Griffith's heart trembled, and he hurriedly rode his horse back a few steps.

The volley just now interrupted the attack of the tide of corpses, but the main force of the enemy is still there.A monster that appears to be a death knight is gathering its forces, preparing to attack across the wall of acid mist.

The soldiers of the Storm Squadron have also stopped throwing their guns.They scattered from each other, and couldn't even get together for a short time.

However, by this time, there was no need for Griffith and the squadron to take action.

The majestic chant came from above the head, like the earth cry before the eruption of the volcano, and also like the wrath of the gods in the legend.The chanting goes on and on, continuously blessing the astonishing ripples of spiritual energy, which is so solemn that people cannot look up.The singing stopped abruptly, and flames spewed out from the balcony on the second floor of the Summer Palace.A throwing gun wrapped in flame roared out, and threw it in the direction of the death knight.

This blow swept up the sky, and the living corpses wherever it went were directly rolled up by the flames, and turned into ashes like grass.

The flame throwing spear went straight to the death knight.The monster pulled out a huge sickle-like silver scimitar and swung it forward, and the spear exploded into a huge orange fireball, swallowing the corpses clustered around it.

"Heh, it doesn't look like a fake at all~"

The Extraordinary Demon Hunter of Odessa, Diraz the Light and Shadow, made a move.He stepped on the scorched and smoking broken wall, and he was condensing the second throwing gun with tumbling flames in his hand.

The death knight emerged from the smoke and dust, and as soon as he raised his hand, an invisible force would spread.

Oops, that trick!Griffith immediately realized that this was a group mutation that had appeared in Raven, which could infect a living person injured by a living corpse into a terrifying corpse in a short time.If it succeeds, the army of undead creatures will have terrifying lethality in an instant.

Under the grip of the death knight, the surrounding area was extremely calm, as if a more turbulent tragedy was brewing.Griffith was shocked all over his body, and hurriedly looked around, and found that some passers-by who had been bitten looked pained, but they did not die from the outbreak of infection.

"Don't worry, knight," said Miss Mirantis who was hiding behind with a relaxed face. "The transcendents have delayed their action until now. They must have taken necessary sealing measures."

Only then did Griffith notice strange psionic energy fluctuating in the air, as if an invisible wall enveloped the sky.The extraordinary power of the death knight was actually imprisoned in the wall of psychic energy and could not spread.

His Excellency Seydlitz, the strongest transcendent under the Odessa demigod, Shi Shiran came to Diraz by the window.He played with the wand in his hand, and looked at the monsters in the square with great interest.After a while, he spoke slowly:
"Smash them and leave the death knight behind."

As soon as the words fell, a cold light like a crescent moon swept out from the summer palace, cutting through the densely packed corpses like a sickle, cutting hundreds of monsters in two.

The death knight immediately realized that something was wrong. It drove the tide of corpses to cover, and was about to escape with its horse, but it bumped into an invisible wall.

An invisible barrier hundreds of meters long blocked the way, and the undead creatures were like mice caught in a trap.

The extraordinary wizards Regin, Solan, and Killian of Odessa made a move.They wrapped themselves in layers of magic shields and mage armor, waved their wands, and set off fire storms and hailstorms from the sky.The overwhelming attacks of ice and fire smashed into the tide of corpses, crushing them piece by piece.

Immediately after the sound of bugles, there was the sound of orderly footsteps near the square, and the gleaming gun forest flickered in the darkness.

Griffith subconsciously became vigilant, and saw a large number of Odessa city defense troops swarming from all sides.They were equipped with chain mail or leather armor, with a small shield in their left hand and a long spear in both hands. They poured out from all the streets like tributaries merging into a river. The crowd of corpses surrounded the square, pressing down on them with a thunderous force.

Although these soldiers cannot be compared with legionnaires, their firm steps and solid formation can also tell that they are not ordinary militiamen.The most important thing is that although the undead attack happened for a while, it was still very sudden for the mobilization of the army. After being attacked suddenly, it is by no means easy to assemble a large city defense army in a short time .

The strength of Odessa cannot be underestimated!Griffith dismounted, leaving Nona to lead the squadron, and accompanied Miss Mirantis back to the hall quickly.

……

The nobles and officers from Bayeran were all on the verge of an enemy.They clustered around the prince, observing the movement in silence.Griffith didn't even look at the prince when he saw many Extraordinary people, and his eyes were firmly locked on the Odessa local noble elders headed by His Excellency Seydlitz.

As long as there is a Mars, the people here can do it.

"Your Highness!" Miss Mirantis simply wiped away the blood and ran towards the prince.Seeing her appear, eyes from all directions gathered.

Griffith stared at Lord Seydlitz's eyes, trying to find clues there.Who would have thought that this great man would run over like a rabbit, weeping bitterly beside the princess, while confessing his incompetence, while swearing that he would kill all the undead monsters.

I'm really more excited than the prince...

Prince Commodus comforted his fiancée kindly, and then led her away under the protection of a large group of officers and extraordinary people.

When the danger happened, the prince didn't come out to help immediately. If it weren't for me, the princess would be in trouble today.Aren't they a model couple?That's not the case for couples... Griffith muttered in his heart and slandered the prince.
