The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Page 136

Asuduo was stunned.

Under the illumination of white light, what is fed back is also white light.

But this layer of white light is eerie, terrifying, and lifeless—

There were white skeletons one after another, holding bone knives and bone shields.

They were endless, stretching as far as the eye could see, from the vicinity of the city walls to the end of the horizon! !

"..."

What kind of mutation is this?!

Asuduo just felt dizzy.

At first, he thought that the Tang army appeared out of nowhere and wanted to launch a surprise attack, but -

"Young Master!" An older Tumo warrior beside him screamed in fear.

"Tang Army!"

"It's the Anxi Army!!"

"It's the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty!"

"What did you say?" Asuduo looked at the Tumo warrior in confusion.

The Tumo warrior did not answer Asudo again. He just looked at the familiar figure tremblingly.

A faint soul fire burned in the hollow eye sockets, white hair, heavy armor, and a dark red flag fluttering in the night sky—

If that's not the Anxi Army, then what is it?!

Then, his gaze shifted to another figure under the flag.

Beneath that stunningly beautiful face, her eyebrows and eyes seemed a little...

"Shu Chuanfeng!!"

For a moment, this usually brave Tumo warrior was like a frightened chicken or duck, screaming in fear.

"It's Shu Chuanfeng! It's the Anxi Army!"

"They all crawled back from hell!"

"It's over, it's over, we're all going to die here, we're dead!"

He began to talk nonsense.

Seeing that the warrior beside him suddenly went crazy and started screaming, Asuduo quickly used a clearing spell on him.

"What's going on? Explain it to me!"

He grabbed the Tumo warrior who had regained some consciousness and asked.

"Evil ghosts, all those who come here are evil ghosts."

The Tumo warrior replied fearfully.

"They are all evil spirits who are out to take our lives!"

After some explanation, Asuduo barely understood.

Both the Anxi Army and Shu Chuanfeng were dead.

Now the dead are coming to attack the city with endless skeletons. Isn’t that the evil spirits coming to claim lives?

"...Hiss." After listening to the explanation of the Tumo warrior, Asuduo couldn't help but look outside the city with a bit of fear in his eyes.

He had encountered vengeful spirits and evil ghosts before.

But on such a large scale——

It can even take the initiative to attack the city.

What a hell!

The situation was slightly different from what Asudo had guessed before.

The Tang army did arrive.

It’s just that the person who came was not a human.

"Tang people..."

Asuduo felt his scalp tingling, and he pondered for a long time before he uttered a word.

"Are there so many hard-core people among them?"

He can't understand!

Asuduo couldn't imagine it.

How did the Anxi Army survive in such a hopeless situation?

From the young boy with tender eyes...

He persevered until middle age when wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

He continued to hold on and became an old soldier with white hair and beard.

I thought that when all the white-haired veterans were killed, the matter was finally over.

But no one could have imagined——

Even though everyone was dead, the white-haired ghosts of the Anxi Army were still able to pick up their horses, draw their horizontal swords, and launch an extremely frightening counterattack toward their fallen homeland!

Just when there was chaos on the Shule city wall.

Miya Zhuola came to Shu Yichao's side.

"Hey, grandson, it seems like there's some trouble."

After defeating the Tumu army stationed outside the city, Shu Yichao's troops increased in number again, but it also seemed that Shule City reacted.

Now, the Shule City Wall raised its defense shield, lit up the Thunder Tower, and pulled out the crossbow carts—

This means that Shule City has become a fortified city!

"I'm afraid the skeleton soldiers you brought with you will suffer heavy losses."

Is there such a good thing?

Shu Yichao looked back at the endless skeleton soldiers behind him and was overjoyed.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

"I was just worried there were too many of them—"

"attack!!"

With a single command, countless skeletons instantly transformed into a sandstorm that raged across the Gobi Desert, carrying a terrifying momentum that seemed to engulf both heaven and earth.

The huge white waves hit the walls of Shule in the blink of an eye.

"They're coming!"

"Prepare to attack!!"

Seeing the skeleton soldiers launching an attack, the Tumin people on the city wall quickly operated their defensive weapons.

"Ziz!!" The Thunder Defense Tower immediately locked onto these unmarked outsiders.

The terrifying thunder and lightning immediately transformed into greedy silver snakes, extending their invisible tongues and sharp fangs, biting the swarming skeleton soldiers.

"Crackling!!"

Silver-white lightning jumped among the skeleton soldiers. The skeleton soldiers with zero magic resistance could not withstand such powerful lightning at all.

Almost in an instant, the large number of skeleton soldiers rushing forward were electrocuted to pieces, either turning into charcoal all over the ground, or exploding into pieces.

With the simultaneous power of several Thunder Defense Towers, nearly a thousand Skeleton Soldiers were evaporated in one go!

"call--"

Seeing the skeleton soldiers reduced to ashes, a sigh of relief could be heard from the city wall.

"so far so good."

Many Tumo soldiers even covered their chests with their hands in relief.

But they were scared to death.

At first, when they saw the huge wave of bones sweeping towards the city, they thought they were dead.

As a result, those skeleton monsters were good-looking but useless. They looked powerful, but were actually as weak as a farmer.

Such monsters, though numerous, are of little use—

After seeing the vanguard troops killed or wounded in the blink of an eye, these monsters must have panicked, hesitated, or even turned around and fled.

however……

"Eh?"

Under the incredulous gaze of the Tumo soldiers—

The terrifying lightning strike from the Thunder Tower blew the skeleton into pieces.

The shield corroded with a hissing sound, dissolving skeleton after skeleton.

The beast heads at the city gate spewed out raging flames, burning the skeletons into fireballs.

In a short while, a thick layer of ashes was piled up under the city wall! !

But those skeleton soldiers still had no intention of retreating and continued to rush towards the city.

"broken!"

Seeing this, Asuduo couldn't help but blurt out.

Could this be the same as the war puppet his teacher had developed, a monster with no mind at all, that didn't know what fatigue or fear were, and was born solely for fighting?

If that is the case, to defeat these monsters, one must either kill the wizard who commands them, or kill all of them.

The second option was immediately rejected by Asudo.

Just looking at the number of skeletons outside the city, you can tell that this is an almost impossible task.

And the first option...

The one under the Tang army's banner should be the wizard who commands the monsters.

But to kill him, it seems like you need to complete the second option first?

"There are wolves in front and tigers behind."

The riot in the city has not been quelled, and the monsters outside the city are attacking the city again -

hiss--

Asudo made up his mind and gave orders to the warriors and wizards.

"You guys hold on here first."

"Those monsters can't take down the city in a short time."
