Chapter 122: Ocean of the Dead



Such an impact was extremely frightening. After more than twenty days of journey, the army of undead finally approached the Teke Province, the most border province of the empire.

The city walls were already filled with magicians in various costumes, and Lin Xingchen and more than 2,000 of his men also joined in.

The Magic Butterfly Car kept switching and finally delivered the support personnel. Similarly, Lin Xingchen provided support not only with magicians but also with food.

The Stranford Empire and its surrounding countries also provided people and food. Standing on the city wall and looking at the dense sea of ​​bones like a tide below, many people were shaking.

After everyone's discussion, they finally jointly elected a commander who could be trusted by all parties. As the person who connected this support, Lin Xingchen's character won the respect of everyone, so he was appointed to lead this foreign support army.

However, Lin Xingchen still took Albert and the empire's commander-in-chief, Bartlet, to discuss. The two were still thinking about how to kill each other a month ago, but now they were lying on the sand table discussing how to team up with each other.

Lin Xingchen met his former partners in the empire. He was very happy to see the four of them and the child. Lin Xingchen told them about the source of the incident. They still felt a little regretful. If they had not been so curious, they might not have released Justin.

On the city wall, Gustav has already started his third speech. This old man is indeed a politician and is very good at grasping people's hearts.

At the forefront of the undead army were not the humanoid skeletons with good combat power, but the vanguard composed of the corpses of various animals on the grassland.

These things were densely packed in front, filling the entire sight, and they surged towards the city wall like a tide.

Lin Xingchen, the commander of the nominal support troops, ordered the attack. Everyone reserved their magic power. After all, this was just an appetizer before the big battle.

Countless bones fell before reaching the city wall, but more of them fell under the city wall, where they became the stepping stones at the bottom like a human pyramid.

Lin Xingchen dodged a flying bone arrow, but unfortunately an archer behind him failed to dodge and was hit in the face and fell to the ground and died.

Someone on the side hurriedly carried the dead or injured teammates to the side for treatment, and someone naturally took the vacant position. The catapult had never stopped since the beginning, and stones could be felt being thrown out continuously and landing in the middle of the sea of ​​bones.

A large amount of light magic continuously smashed into the sea of ​​bones. Any skeleton that was hit or splashed by the light magic instantly fell apart and could never get up again.

Although in theory the high elves can master the seven lower elemental magics, they are only a minority. Even in an environment like the Elf Age, there are still many high elves who can only master the few types of magic that they are most familiar with.

The bones under the city wall piled up higher and higher and soon reached the same level as the city wall. At this moment, the skeletons that were originally scattered on the ground suddenly began to tremble.

In Lin Xingchen's eyes, the bones of these things formed a huge skeleton just like Transformers. The city wall was at least eight feet high, but the thing in front of him was half a body taller than the city wall when it stood up.

It would be fine if it was just this one Transformer, but the problem is that there are more than twenty such skeletons, and every time they raise their hands, they can smash the city walls and leave broken bones all over the ground.

And one attack could take away some soldiers who were unable to dodge or were frightened. The skeleton in front of Lin Xingchen raised his left arm high and smashed towards him on the head.

Just as he was about to take action, a luminous magic hit the skeleton, and the huge Transformer's bones were scattered all over the ground like a snake with its bones pulled out.

"Thank you for your support, Captain!" Lin Xingchen turned his head, looked at Caitlin and said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense and think of a solution quickly!" Caitlin's face turned pale, which was caused by excessive consumption of magic power.

"The only way to get rid of these bones is to find the caster, but I don't know where that cunning guy is hiding. In this situation, we can only block the bones first." Just as Tian Er was speaking, a panicked shouting came from behind him.

It turned out that the soldiers or civilians who were killed or injured by the undead had all mutated, and the people who were taking care of them were ambushed by their former friends and comrades, and they all looked in disbelief.

Destroy these people quickly, they are infected with the Undead Plague. If we don't eliminate them, we will be attacked from both inside and outside.

Master Edwin understood what was going on and quickly told everyone what he remembered: "Anyone killed or injured by the undead needs the blessing of the priest of light or the priest of the Church of Life, otherwise they will be infected and turned into undead."

The more than 200 priests of light and the priests of the Church of Life, who were already busy, became even busier. The infected people under the city wall were quickly cleared. However, the smile did not last long, as news came from the command center that the entire army should retreat.

It turned out that other parts of the city wall had been breached, and the undead poured in like a flood that had broken through a dam. The outermost part of the Teke Province could no longer be defended.

"Everyone of the coalition forces, retreat to the second line of defense. Don't fight too long and retreat safely and quickly!!!" Although his position as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was just a nominal one to facilitate unified management of everyone, he still played a role at this time.

Everyone began to retreat in an orderly manner. Without any obstruction, the sea of ​​bones quickly submerged the town, and those who retreated to the second line of defense could finally breathe a sigh of relief and take a good rest.

Lin Xingchen called the leaders of the coalition forces and Bartlet and took out a large number of magic potions. It's not that I'm stingy, these potions were originally reserved for the decisive battle, but I didn't expect these skeletons to be so difficult to deal with. I can only take them out for you in advance. I hope you can hold on. If the two masters, Howard and James, can find that damn lich, we can win.

Ever since Lin Xingchen took out the potion, he has never appeared on the city wall again. Everyone placed him on the last line of defense, and he kept preparing the potions that everyone needed all day long.

Likewise, all the pharmacists in the empire became Gustav's subordinates at his request. They worked together, put aside their differences, and began to work hard to prepare potions.

The name of the Undead Scourge is worthy of its name. As long as the gray fog covers an area, all the skeletons buried underground in this area will be summoned.

The accumulation over the years has led to the continuous joining of new people, and the scale of the natural disaster has become larger and larger. First, the Teke Province announced its surrender after holding out for half a month, and then the Skako Province next to the Teke Province only held out for three days before having to give up.

The reason they only lasted three days was due to the terrible schistosomiasis. More than half of the people in the entire province were killed or injured, which immediately provided the Scourge with hundreds of thousands of troops.

The snowball has been getting bigger and bigger, so big that no one dares to hold back. Once the Sharpnero Empire is destroyed, the surrounding countries will not have a good ending.

The news that a natural disaster of undead had occurred in the southwest corner of Plano spread throughout the continent, and many righteous people who received the news rushed to help resist the invasion of the undead.

The resistance has reached the point of exhaustion. Humans, elves, and dwarves all need rest, but the undead don't need them to. More and more people can't hold on under the round-the-clock continuous attack.

In order to save time, everyone implemented four shifts at the suggestion of Lin Xingchen and tried to get enough rest time.

The resistance army has been retreating again and again, and there are less than seven days left before they reach the imperial capital. Now the position of the resistance army has become extremely dangerous.

The next step forward is the imperial capital. Once the imperial capital falls, there will be plains or grasslands behind it. Without a large number of cities guarding it, the resistance army will be even more difficult to stop. After consultation with Lin Xingchen and others, everyone strives to resist for a few more days before the imperial capital, because they received an exciting good news that the Knights of Light of the Church of Light will arrive in three days.

Not only the Knights of Light but also the Guard Corps of the Church of Life are about to arrive. These two legions can be said to be the nemesis of the undead, but the legion personnel have always been scattered across the continent to preach. Now they have assembled and will arrive soon.

While everyone was rejoicing, Lin Xingchen didn't think so in his heart. If the legion had not been assembled, he could have sent as many as he could. But he waited until the Sharpnero Empire was in dire straits before taking action. Maybe he would just take advantage of it.

But this matter didn't matter to him. After all, it was his Sharpnero Empire that paid the price. After this battle, the empire would probably never regain its previous confidence.

On the city wall, Lin Xingchen kept waving his staff to smash the bone frames. He used the elemental incarnation. Although there were many magicians on the city wall who cast the elemental incarnation, it was just a drop in the bucket and could only resist temporarily.

Just when Lin Xingchen was considering whether to retreat, a chanting sound came from far away. The singing was the singing of the Church of Light, and a vibrant magical fluctuation appeared on the left.

Compared to the pretentious Church of Light, the Church of Life is much more real, and they arrived earlier than the Church of Light.

These people walked among the sea of ​​undead bones one by one. Wherever they went, the surrounding skeletons would dissipate. When they had almost cleared out the undead in front of them, the Church of Light stopped singing and instead rode on all white horses into the sea of ​​undead bones to start their invincible deeds.

Perhaps they were trying to regain the limelight that was stolen by the Church of Life, so they attacked with all their might. Each of them radiated a brilliant light, and ordinary undead had no way of stopping them wherever they went.
