Chapter 234: Skeleton Army, Counterattack

Whooosh

The wind swept up a layer of gravel, raising a sky full of sand dust.

Under the hazy sky, amidst the vast desert, a battle was about to commence.

The moment the enemy was spotted, the entire army swiftly transitioned from a marching formation to a combat formation.

Ji Chen gazed ar rhe rapidly approaching horde of skeletal creatures, his expression growing unusually solemn.

This skeletal legion… couldn’t be underestimated.

Their numbers weren’t excessively large, around fifty thousand, yet they were all composed of “elites

Among them, there were no common white skeletons, which were typically used as cannon fodder. The lowest rank among them was the third-tier Black Skeleton. The composition mainly consisted of Black Skeletons and Skeleton Hounds, interspersed with a multitude of Skeleton Mages.

What’s more, Ji Chen also sported over a hundred Skeleron Behemoths emerging from rhe ground and even thousands of Skeleton Knights that he had never seen before.

Their attack formation was powerful yet disciplined, suggesting a skilled Skeleton Commander behind it all.

With such elite composition and clear objectives, their origin was unmistakable.

These were the Skeleton King’s forces sent to hunt them down.

Ji Chen couldn’t afford to be careless. He chose a defensible sand dune as the battleground, setting up defensive lines on the slope.

As rhe saying goes, fight from a higher position to a lower one, leaving your opponent stupefied.

By engaging the enemy from above, not only could they maximize their firepower advantage, but also weaken the enemy’s attacks.

In this kind of terrain, even those obviously high-tier Skeleton Knights would struggle to unleash their feared charging ability.

Seeing this, the enemy’s Skeleton Commander must have realized this too. Instead of directly sending the Skeleton Knights charging, it had the Black Skeletons initiate rhe attack.

These Black Skeletons accounted for a significant portion of the army, numbering over twenty-five thousand.

in an instant, this number enclosed the entire sand dune in layers, not charging all at once but rather only a portion attacking.

Approximately five thousand Black Skeletons began to climb the sand dune.

The defensive lines were about seventy meters from the bottom of the dune, with a slope of thirty to forty degrees. Even the agile Skeleton Hounds struggled to move in such terrain.

At this moment, the soft sand became rhe best obstacle. The skeletal creatures struggled to climb, their hollow leg bones preventing them from standing properly, and sand constantly trickled our from the gaps.

At a glance, countless Black Skeletons were burying rheir heads, exposing their most vulnerable skulls.

Seeing this, Ji Chen smiled slightly with a touch of satisfaction.

The reason he chose this sand dune for defense was naturally because he spotted this vulnerability.

Without wasting any time, he immediately ordered an attack.

At this distance, the attacks of the Dragon Blood Murlocs and Elemental Sea Pixies could be fully unleashed.

Tridents and water arrows pierced directly into the skulls of the Black Skeletons. These deadly attacks instantly obliterated hundreds of them, a remarkable achievement.

However, the skeletal remains that ended up buried in rhe gravel became hard surfaces, providing leverage for the subsequent Black Skeletons to avoid the sand and climb even faster.

The Black Skeletons were using their own lives and bodies to pave a path forward for their allies.

Yaska watched as his Black Skeletons were slaughtered like pigs, feeling no emotional attachment and even displaying a hint of displeasure.

For Yaska, these Black Skeletons weren’t much different from the ordinary White Skeletons; they were all cannon fodder. The only distinction was that the Black Skeletons were slightly more advanced cannon fodder, capable of consuming a bit more of the enemy’s stamina and mana.

What displeased Yaska was that the progress of the Black Skeletons was painfully slow.

Immediately, he sent another five thousand Black Skeletons to attack. As long as they could defeat rhe enemy, it didn’t matter even if all the Black Skeletons died.

Amidst this relentless assault:

Within the seventy-meter distance between the defensive line and the base of the sand dune, numerous Black Skeletons were shattered, covering the ground with a dense layer of bone carpet.

The Skeleton Legion had lost a full one-third of rheir Black Skeletons before they finally managed to reach the frontline.

Leading the charge was the Naga Berserker, already evolved into a fourth-tier unit with its strength multiplied several times.

Facing these Black Skeletons, it no longer required several strikes to deal with them as before. Now, a single swing was enough to easily take down one.

The Naga Berserker, adopting a strategy of using minimal effort to defeat the enemy, flashed with a red light in its eyes. Its dual blades crossed, slicing off the heads of two Black Skeletons in an instant, causing the soul fire to extinguish as the decapitated heads rolled away.

Half-Orc Warriors were also at the forefront. Compared to the Naga Berserkers, they had a tougher time, but they still relied on their strength advantage to swiftly eliminate the enemy.

Ji Chen observed the Black Skeletons that had reached the frontline, tightly enveloping them, but his face remained calm.

With just these advanced cannon fodders, it was absolutely impossible to breach the defensive lines. The only true concerns were the legitimate fourth-tier Skeleton monsters and the concealed Skeleton Commander.

That was the real threat.

T aking advantage of this moment, he glanced at the panels of the Skeleton Knights.

Ji Chen’s eyebrows twitched.

My, oh my, a fourth-tier Skeleton Knight with 5 stars.

The power of a charging cavalry at full speed was no joke. If these thousands of Skeleton Knights managed to charge, it would probably collapse the defensive line with a single encounter..
