Chapter 1163 (1/2)
A skeleton stood close to the wall of the fortress, bent against the wall, and then raised the shield in his hand on his skull. Then, a very unique bone material ejected from it and adhered to the walls around the city wall to form a solid bone layer, which looks like a bone adhered to the wall.
Then the second and third skeletons followed quickly.
They are very close to the first one, and the log shields in their hands overlap each other to avoid the exposed gap.
As more and more skeleton soldiers approached the wall, a wooden shield ladder was soon built at the edge of the whole wall.
With more and more skeleton soldiers pouring into the city wall, the scale of this ladder is becoming faster and faster. And with the gradual formation of the first step, more skeletons began to build the second step instead of the first step.
A skeleton soldier jumped onto a wooden shield, repeated the previous action, pressed his body against the wall, and then began to stick to the wall. However, compared with the ”ladder” based on the bottom layer, the height of the second skeleton is obviously not high. It seems that it looks like squatting, but its firmness is not much inferior.
Moreover, with the gradual formation of the second ladder, a new group of skeleton soldiers no longer climbed to the third floor, but close to the first floor, and then put the rusty sword in their hands through the body of the first skeleton soldier, directly with the whole arm through the ribs. The wooden shield in their hands is placed on the front wooden shield, which is not simply supported, so that the wooden shield of the second row of skeletons will not have a gap.
As the two skeleton soldiers approached, some powdery substance secreted from their bones soon adhered to them.
The area of the stairs has been expanded.
People standing on the city wall can see this scene clearly almost as long as they lower their heads a little.
This is the unique war art of the undead family - the white bone ladder.
With the expansion of the ladder area, new skeletons soon climbed to the third floor, and then began to build the ladder of the third floor.
In this way, whenever the height is built one floor, the ladder of the lower floor will immediately follow and expand.
However, it was only more than ten minutes. A six story white bone ladder had been built under the whole fortress wall. The extended range is 20 or 30 meters away. And this is not the end. There are still a steady stream of skeleton soldiers charging towards the wall. Skeleton archers still hide in the array of skeleton archers and shoot those white bone arrows at the wall. On the contrary, those skeleton mages don't dare to come forward at the moment because one of them died in an accident.
Compared with those that can be sacrificed and consumed, even if the skeleton mage has only three levels, it is very difficult to summon materials - not all the Summoning Magic of the dead can summon skeleton mages. They must need certain auxiliary materials, and the dead must have certain magic talent before they die.
Otherwise, even magic apprentices or magicians who have stepped into the silver world can only ordinary skeletons or corpses.
This vanguard force can gather so many skeleton mages, and even many skeleton mages, which may have occupied a quarter of the whole southern undead army. Such a huge scale is only used for cannon fodder consumption, which is simply an unimaginable thing. If you cooperate with the forces of the undead regular army, it is enough to destroy the whole first-class kingdom.
No one knows what these undead creatures are thinking.
The only thing you can know is that the building speed of the white bone ladder is getting faster and faster. It only depends on less than 20000 steel wings - although there are 50000 regular army formations with steel wings, less than 20000 people are specialized in bow shooting skills. Others or guest archers are only responsible for blind shooting of coverage attack, but if you really want to shoot accurately, It is obviously impossible - it is impossible to control the construction speed of the ladder at all.
”They're speeding up.” Abaza wiped the blood on his left face.
He just leaned out a little because he wanted to pay attention to the construction speed of the white bone ladder. As a result, he was wiped across his cheek by a tributary arrow and scratched a blood mark. Although the injury is not very serious, the white bone arrow shot by the skeleton Archer carries a certain amount of toxin. Although emergency treatment has been carried out, Abaza still feels numb in his cheek.
”If they continue to lose like this, they will use the arms of the skeleton system.” Levi glanced through the gap of the impact shield and said, ”are we just letting them build the white bone ladder?”
All eyes were on William.
But William's face showed another intoxicated smile: ”laissez faire? How is it possible It's just that it hasn't had much effect yet. Wait a minute. Let the main force of the War Bow force put on those archers, whether bones or skeletons, and shoot at me. ”
Although Abaza didn't understand the reason, he nodded and began to order.
Soon, the counterattack center of gravity from the steel wings was adjusted. Originally, the archer shooting of the War Bow force was to find the skeleton archers as much as possible, and then several people nearby cooperated to directly solve it with a powerful shot. But now, because they no longer pay attention to which skeleton archers are in the hands of the skeleton archers, the dense arrow rain covered the attack, which soon made these skeleton archers suffer.
For a time, the army of the dead, who had already suppressed the arrow rain at the head of the city, was immediately suppressed again.
But what everyone didn't expect was that after these undead who were responsible for long-range operations were suppressed, the construction speed of the white bone ladder was much slower. More than ten minutes ago, a six story ladder was built. At this time, more than 20 minutes later, it was just two floors again.
Eliza's eyes lit up and looked at William with a bright look.
”This is a suppression tactic, isn't it?” Levi whispered.
”Yes.” Eliza nodded, ”and it's a very accurate strategic push suppression I've been observing the key nodes of each other's white bone ladder before. Originally, I thought the key should be those skeleton mages. As long as their summoning speed can be limited, the construction speed of the white bone ladder will be slowed down, but I didn't expect that the most critical place is not here. ”
Levy nodded and understood what was going on.
But Abaza didn't understand. He touched his head and asked modestly, ”Your Highness Levi, why is this?”
The strong in the legendary realm are all called his highness to distinguish the huge gap between the Holy Land and legend.
Of course, this is also the reason why they are not very familiar with each other.
Like Rena and shefanio, although they are also real legendary strong men, generally no one calls them their highness. Dwight, who was born in the cavalry regiment, still called them chief and envoy or saint, while old people such as Alfred called them Rena and shefanio.
”Because of the offensive.” Levi said, ”the previous attack was suppressed, so the skeleton soldiers can charge without scruples. But now the other side's offensive is suppressed by us, so they have to bear more damage. But those skeleton mages did not dare to continue to move forward, so once the skeleton soldiers in front of the front lost something, they could not continue to summon because of the casting distance. ”
