The Invincible Overlord of Heroes.

Chapter 744 Shadow of Death

The dead probably also want to see the truth about humans.

Xu Lai had already prepared for a long battle, but the undead did not let Xu Lai wait too long.

Rodhart, like Sandro, has gradually gained a foothold in the human territory after experiencing some initial setbacks.

If it weren't for the undead being dissatisfied with each other, the Knight King and the Skeleton King would have been fighting for territory.

Duke Yuwen of the Eastern Empire, let alone attacking Lionheart City at this moment, would be lucky if he could still keep his core city.

The priest, who was the most powerful force against the undead, was unable to give Yuwen Shao too much support, causing the undead to look down on humans.

When Xu Lai first arrived, it was too sudden, and he flew directly into the barrier camp using his flying magic.

By the time Sandro learned the news, Xu Lai's large army was already very close to the World Tree.

In addition, Xu Lai has a team of angels. Sandro will not be able to compete without mobilizing the Bone Dragon Legion.

But by the time he had mobilized his main forces, humans would have probably already run into the coverage of the World Tree.

Even if Sandro ordered a full-scale interception, it would only increase casualties. It would be impossible to defeat this human reinforcement without mobilizing the main force of the Undead.

It was for this reason that Sandro decided to let Xu Lai into the city.

Anyway, you have to fight the elf troops, and you have to fight a human army as well, there is not much difference.

Moreover, this human army is not small in size. Putting it into the elves' territory will only increase the elves' material consumption.

The undead have always been experts in fighting wars of attrition, but that is only determined by the characteristics of the undead, not Sandro's original intention.

In fact, Sandro himself has been patient for who knows how many years, and his patience is really not as great as he thinks.

In addition, Sandro really needs to know the fighting power of humans.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Even if there is no such saying in this world, there must be such military thinking.

Before his death, Sandro was the founding monarch of mankind, and after his death he became the leader of the four kings of the dead.

Regardless of his identity, Sandro's military talent is unquestionable.

What's more, as undead, the most they are are cannon fodder.

After the gate to the abyss was closed, Kerrigan was reluctant to let too many cannon fodder die.

But for the undead, no matter how many cannon fodders die, they don’t feel any pity.

As long as you have enough mana, an ordinary bone stick can help you find a cursed place and kill a lot of enemies with one move.

Therefore, the other three Shenmu cities were still shrouded in thick darkness.

When Xu Lai arrived at the city, the black fog in front of him suddenly cleared up, and large patches of white and gray bone sticks emerged from the black fog.

On the black skull flag, there is a huge dragon head printed.

But unlike ordinary dragon heads, this dragon head is a white jade skeleton.

In the entire cemetery camp, the only one qualified to carry such a flag is the Undead King Sandro.

When his flag appeared here, many of the elves on the city wall were so frightened that they lost their voices.

During this period, the Undead King Sandro brought too much harm and too much fear to these elves.

Upon seeing this flag, countless elves recalled the terrifying times dominated by the shadow of death.

Reina frowned and said to Archdruid Yin Mu:

"Let the ordinary civilians go first. Not only are they of no help here, but they are also hurting our morale."

Yin Mu sighed and nodded helplessly.

Then the druids organized the militia and civilians to leave.

Their departure means that the large number of catapults and crossbows on the city walls will lack civilians to help transport ammunition.

In addition to ammunition, the elven civilians are also responsible for delivering three meals a day, hot water, bandages and other daily necessities.

The elves, who have been defeated time and time again, really don't have many warriors available.

So even though he knew that the elf civilians were already scared out of their wits, Yin Mu had no choice but to organize a militia.

Unlike the elves whose morale was completely destroyed, humans won every battle. Under the leadership of Xu Lai and Lena, they even defeated the Demon King of Hell.

In this situation, a mere bone stick was not taken seriously by these human warriors at all.

Unlike the nervous elves who were facing imminent disaster, the human warriors were quite relaxed.

Without elves to carry the ammunition, the sky archers who operated the catapults worked hard to calibrate the catapults.

They did not need a saturation attack to scare the enemy. The superiors had already explained that the undead would not have fear.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Without any orders, but only under the unified command of the flags, human archers can launch dozens of catapults on the city wall at the same time.

There was no need for any prior instructions. Under the command of the grassroots officers, all the catapults threw the boulders at different locations.

Not a single boulder, not even a single crossbow arrow, attacked the same area or the same target.

They were aiming at the most valuable and numerous targets within a straight-line distance.

Arrow towers and catapults are the natural advantages of the defenders.

Even if the attacking force has expertise in ballistics, they will still be inferior to the walls of a castle-level city like Shenmu City.

The undead are naturally not bound by any morale constraints, and of course they will not have any bonuses from high morale.

The huge rock flew out for several kilometers and rolled, crushing countless skeletons.

But both the skeletons in the front and the back ignored their own casualties and continued to march forward in unison.

However, some skeleton wizards wearing wizard robes quietly followed into the skeleton army at the rear.

These skeleton wizards do not know any other spells. The only spell they know is skeleton resurrection, which allows them to pull dead skeletons back to life.

But after dying once, Skeleton Warriors will be downgraded to Skeleton Warriors, and Skeleton Warriors will be downgraded to Skeleton Soldier.

Ordinary skeletons cannot be downgraded any further, but because of the severe bone loss, even with the help of spells, only two skeletons can be resurrected from three skeleton corpses.

However, let alone the loss of one skeleton, even if it was ten thousand, one hundred thousand, or one million, what would that mean to the undead?

To be honest, this scene is still very shocking to ordinary people.

Especially when seeing the skeletons that had just fallen down getting up one by one, everyone would feel some bad emotions.

What's more, among the vast army of skeletons, ordinary people cannot tell that there are fewer skeletons crawling up.

Not to mention that ordinary people couldn't see it, even Xu Lai, who was standing on the ancient guardian, couldn't see anything with his excellent eyesight.

The druids, who were already feeling uneasy, gave Reina some advice:
"General, this speed is too slow, let's send the militia up.

Shenmu City is the last barrier of the World Tree, and it cannot be lost." Druids still have a very high status in the barrier. Most of the high-level officials of the Elf King's Court and the Elf Elders are druids.

If it were not during wartime, the supreme commander of Shenmu City would definitely be the Archdruid Yinmu.

Not to mention that Reina has been imprisoned for decades. Even decades ago, Reina's status within the elves was not as good as Yin Mu's.

Lena glanced at Yin Mu. As an elf elder, Yin Mu understood the situation clearly.

"A bunch of skeletons scare you?
Don't forget, His Majesty the King of the Human Legion is still here. Are you more valuable than the Eagle King?
Her Majesty the Queen and the Council of Elders have handed over the command to His Majesty Xu Lai, and Ms. Lena is the commander appointed by His Majesty Xu Lai himself.

On the battlefield, all orders issued by Ms. Reina have the highest authority.

I don't care what opinions you have, just shut up and follow my instructions at this moment."

When the elves were in crisis, Reina's indifference made the elves' upper echelons somewhat dissatisfied.

Although Yin Mu maintained Rena's authority, he did not give Rena any face.

Lena was not angry, but just said calmly: "Thank you, Elder Yin."

Xu Lai, who also had sharp ears and was not far from the command platform, poked Cui Sili who stayed behind to protect him and said:

"Why do I feel like you elves don't welcome us?"

Trisley bit her lip and said, "When we sisters were massaging you just now, we didn't seem to feel that you felt this way."

Xu Lai chuckled, but did not continue to dwell on this issue, and instead asked:

"I just saw that all the sisters under your command were scattered. Are they going to find the commander of the undead?"

Cui Sili looked up at the skeleton army approaching from a distance and said:

“No matter whether these skeleton soldiers are waving Sandro’s flag to scare us.

But as long as we can find Sandro's location, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

Xu Lai frowned and said, "But I heard that Sandro is a lich. As a lich, shouldn't he find their life box?"

Trisley said, “If you want to kill Sandro completely, you must destroy his life box.

But the purpose of the life box is to help the lich revive, what if the lich is not dead! "

"You mean, we want to capture Sandro alive? And seal him into prison?"

Cui Sili said bitterly: "I know this is not easy, but we have no other choice.

Even if we kill Sandro, we won't be able to destroy his huge undead army.

The only way is to control or seal Sandro, otherwise the shadow of death will always accompany the elves. "

Sandro had two main purposes for attacking the elves' lair. One was to plunder a large number of dragon corpses to mass-produce bone dragons.

Another purpose is to obtain the secret of rebirth and resurrection by controlling the World Tree.

Although the dead have eternal life, they have forever lost all sense of being human.

Taste, smell, vision, hearing, touch and even human emotions, these are all things that the dead desire but cannot obtain.

No matter what Sandro's purpose is, he must conquer the Elf King's Court. The World Tree and the Dragon Tomb are here.

Xu Lai was silent for a moment, then turned to Elvy and said:
"If the ranger gives a signal, don't kill Sandro this time."

Elvy shrugged and said, “Although Sandro is a wizard, his level of danger is not much less than that of Kerrigan.

Moreover, the higher the level of the undead, the more time and accumulation required for resurrection.

If Sandro died, the undead army he left here would be leaderless.

Even if we can't kill all the undead, we should still have a chance if we can drive away and kill most of them."

It was obvious that Elvy did not agree to show mercy to Sandro.

Xu Lai smiled bitterly and said, "You decide. If it's really dangerous, I'll kill him.

At worst, we can stay for a while and help you drive away the army of undead before we leave."

Tracy nodded silently. As an elf, she really did not have the right or face to let her allies take the risk for the elves.

The offensive and defensive battle on the ground is still going on, and Gisele and the phantom shooters have already started shooting.

They did not stay on the city wall, but on the rows of ancient guardians inside the wall.

After the ancient guardians took root, they grew into towering trees, and with a group of phantom shooters crowded on them, it was really easy and enjoyable.

With the help of the ancient guardians, the phantom archers have no shortage of arrows.

Anyway, killing this group of skeletons, using Wood Spirit Arrows or Phantom Arrows is the same, one arrow kills one and you don't need a second arrow.

At this moment, the only thing the Phantom Shooters need to worry about is not whether they have enough ammunition, but how long their own physical strength can last.

The Phantom Archers' extremely long range and the Ancient Guardians' height higher than the city walls allow them to attack before the Arrow Towers.

Just above the ancient guardian next to Xu Lai, Giselle drew her bow and arrow and was the first to use the rain of arrows skill.

The huge rain of arrows instantly took the lives of hundreds of skeleton warriors.

But even with the output of the Phantom Shooter added, it was just a drop in the ocean for the entire skeleton group and could not cause much waves.

When using Wood Spirit Arrows, the output of Phantom Archers cannot carry the phantom, and the output is almost 8 times less.

However, even if the output increased by 8 times, it would be of no use facing this group of skeletons that crawled up again shortly after their death.

Seeing this scene, even Xu Lai couldn't help rubbing his brows and said:
“Before the undead’s attack actually arrived, I couldn’t help but feel a chill.

It's really not easy for you elves to hold on for so long without collapsing."

Tracey sighed and said, “These skeletons are used to wear down our morale and ammunition.

To deal with them, the energy and arrows wasted were countless, and most of the skeletons couldn't even climb up the city wall.

But we have to deal with them. With so many skeletons knocking at us, even the strongest city walls will eventually be broken down."

Even if a 9th-level Seraph faces a 1st-level Skeleton Soldier, there is a huge gap of 8 levels between the two sides.

But even so, Seraph cannot say that he is truly invulnerable.

The probability of causing basic damage will become smaller and smaller according to the difference in attack, defense and level, but it is by no means zero.

In the world of magic, as long as the number is sufficient, not only can walls and seraphim be killed, even gods can be killed.

Of course, there is always someone stronger than you, and there is no one who is truly invincible in this world.

Seeing that the effect of physical damage was not ideal, Reina snapped her fingers.

After hearing the snap, the magic archers, whose positions in the arrow towers were vacated by the phantom archers, drew out the red-glowing arrows from their quivers. (End of this chapter)
