Skeleton Army

At dawn the next day, Demon Blood took a team and set out to look for the traces of the nearby undead race.

He didn't come back until about eleven o'clock, but unfortunately he didn't find the base, just cleared some wild monsters.

These wild monsters were all undead. In this way, Qin Muye was more and more sure that there was an undead base around. Otherwise, it is impossible for all random wild monsters to be undead.

But now Qin Muye has no time to think about these things, because the monster siege is about to start.

[In the second wave, your overall strength: Tier 1 elite, this time the monsters are: Tier 1 Elite Skeleton Infantry x 400, Tier 1 Elite Skeleton Archer x 100]

"Career change? It's a bit too much. Yesterday there were only 100 skeleton warriors. Today, it's skeleton infantry archers, it could almost be considered army with 500 units."

Qin Muye saw the black skeleton soldiers coming in an uniform manner in the distance. In the front were 400 skeleton infantry holding swords and shields and wearing armor, and at the back were skeleton archers with long bows and short swords.

In terms of discipline, this group of skeletons is indeed better than the magic spirits. Even the magic spirits who trained last night are not comparable. It is like a group of rabble facing a group of regular troops.

To be honest, the skills of the three elite units of the Skeletons arms are actually not much different, and their attributes are also similar.

For example, the attack and defense of the skeleton infantry were both 5, which is very average, while the skeleton archers have 8 attack and 2 defense, and the skeleton warriors have 6 attack and 4 defense.

The real difference should be in coordination.

The skeleton infantry marched steadily towards the territory, even though the number was only 400, but from Qin Muye's point of view on the top of mage tower, it was also a moving piece of darkness.

There are only 182 magic spirits and demon blood on his side.

"Put a curse on the Skeleton Archer first, then their attack can't break the defense!" Qin Muye, seeing the Skeleton Archer starting to draw his bow, naturally hurriedly informed the Demon Blood.

Although it is said that the spirits have the blessing that adds to 2 points of defense to them from demon blood, it is better to be more stable.

Demon Blood didn't respond, but he expressed his actions with actions, and immediately put a curse on this army of skeletons.

Then release the bloodthirsty thaumaturgy and attack acceleration magic on his own side.

At present, the magic spirits need have a ratio of 1:2 against skeleton infantry and as the two armies collided, this time it was not as devastating as the first time they faced the skeleton warriors.

The shields equipped by the skeleton infantry defended the first wave of attacks.

This is the gap. The magic spirits under Qin Muye have no weapons or armor, so when there is a collision, they will be at disadvantage. But immediately after the skeleton infantry was smashed to pieces, although the casualties were not large, at most a few broken bones.

Then the arrows shot down from the sky, and there was a clanging sound from the magic spirits, because the 9 points of defense after the blessing plus the skeleton archer being possessed by the curse reduced 3 points of attack with only 5 points left couldn't break the defense of the magic spirts.

Qin Muye, who was hiding in the mage tower, was also relieved.

After all, this is 182 vs. 500 where his side have absolutely no advantage in quantity. More importantly, the other party has equipment and a long range.

In fact, he wanted to pick up the equipment of wild monsters, but unfortunately, the monsters would disappear with their equipment after death, so there was no way to do it, otherwise, how could someone like Qin Muye, a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, let go of these equipment.

From the current point of view, the situation is stable, and the demon blood takes the lead in charging, tearing a long crack in the skeleton infantry like a sharp sword.

With the attack power of the magic spirits, the shield cannot be broken, so they can only find a way to kill them with one blow, but these skeleton foot soldiers are obviously professionally trained.

Advance and retreat in an orderly manner, especially the shield technique, which is quite skilled, and can block the attacks of magic spirits.

However, the number of times of this resistance is limited. With the continuous attack of the magic spirits, cracks appear on the shield, and sometimes even if the defense is enough, the magic spirits will punch the skull with a punch.

The Demon Blood side is much simpler. He has a standard long sword and enough attack power. Even a shield can't block it. If he slashes with a sword, even the skeleton soldiers with their shields have to be shattered by him.

His goal is very simple, that is to kill the long-range first.

As a defender, not having long range really hurts.

Even if Qin Muye was a layman, he could see that today's battle was much more difficult than yesterday.

Equipment disadvantages, quantity disadvantages, only with the attribute and skill advantages was the battle situation barely smoothed out.

Now some magic spirits have begun to lose blood, but this is also good news, after all Elemental Resonance provides 1 point of attack power with every 1 point of health lost, which makes the attack of magic spirts more violent.

In addition, the 100 magic spirits that were trained last night also had a lot of experience, so after realizing this, the magic spirits began to consciously hurt themselves to increase their attack power.

Because the magic spirits found that the front line was moving back a little bit, these skeleton infantry were not as good as them in attack and defense, but they fought steadily and eroding them step by step will be more difficult.

"The difference in combat experience, it seems that the attributes added to the elite level may be just the icing on the cake. What is really powerful is the experience and quality that matches the word elite." Qin Muye understood the difference between the elite and the ordinary.

The skeleton warrior who attacked last time can be compared to a river and lake ranger, all relying on courage.

This time, the skeleton infantry and skeleton archers are different. They can be called elite troops. As long as the attack power can break the defense, the magic spirits will definitely be damaged. Then Qin Muye will also have to play the role of a healer and keep healing to restore blood of his arms.

But fortunately, archers weren't able to break the defense!

Of course, this is not absolute. If you suffer too many attacks, there will be damage, so the magic spirits can lose blood and increase the attack power.

As the number of skeleton archers and skeleton infantry decreased, the advantage gradually returned to Qin Muye's troops.

When the last skeleton infantry was defeated by the magic spirit, the monster siege event for today finally came to an end.

Yesterday it took three minutes to solve it, but today it took nearly fifteen minutes, a difference of nearly five times, which made Qin Muye's heart sink.
