Chapter 235: Skeleton Army, Counterattack (2)

Fortunately, he was clever enough to secure this steep sand dune in advance, which alone caused significant casualties to their forces.

Today, I won’t retreat any further. I’ll make a stand right here!

As a mage, Yaska knew that his personal defense was not remarkable, so he understood the need to hide himself.

At this moment, he inconspicuously hid within the crowd of skeletons, secretly commanding the Skeleton Army.

He was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t anticipated that the army brought by this human would possess such extraordinary strength, effortlessly blocking the Black Skeletons’ assault. His assessment of them was elevated as a result.

Quietly communicating with the other Skeleton creatures in his mind, he gave commands.

The Skeleton Lizard that had been staying in the rear received the order. After diving into the ground, it emerged at the base of the sand dune, plowing through numerous obstructing Black Skeletons, and then burrowed into the gravel once again.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen became instantly alert.

He was concerned about these Skeleton Lizards capable of launching attacks from underground.

The Skeleton Lizards might not be able to inflict damage on his forces. Still, if they managed to break through the defensive line due to their size, it could provide an opening for other Skeleton creatures to exploit, creating a troublesome situation.

The Skeleton Lizard, a massive one, plunged into the gravel, evading ranged attacks along the way. It suddenly leapt out before the defensive line, its immense impact sending the Naga Berserker flying and creating dozens of breaches.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the area that had been bogged down just in front of the defensive line suddenly found an opening. Hundreds of Black Skeletons squeezed through the gaps.

Just as they were ferociously charging toward the vulnerable backline, a singing voice halted them all in their tracks.

Alice promptly employed the Enchanting Song, immobilizing the Black Skeletons and Skeleton Lizards that had broken through the defensive line in their positions.

Taking advantage of this moment of respite, the Naga Berserker who had been knocked aside quickly climbed back up, fiercely hacking and slashing. Working in coordination with the rear line, they gradually pushed the enemy back and reestablished the defensive line.

Seeing the Skeleton Lizard successfully breach the defense line and hundreds of Black Skeletons charge in, Yaska couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

However, upon hearing the singing, its connection with the Skeleton Lizards and Black Skeletons was disrupted. It lost control over them, leaving it bewildered and suspicious.

Damn it! What’s happening!? Why can’t I control them anymore?

Could it be because of the singing? The song is somehow disrupting my control over the other skeletons. What kind of miraculous spell is this?

As he watched the breached defensive line being repaired while the Skeleton Lizards and Black Skeletons were helplessly slaughtered, Yaska’s expression would have been incredibly grim if he had a face.

Although their previous assault was thwarted, they still had a massive numerical advantage.

This human relied solely on the strategic advantage of the terrain to halt their progress; there was no inclination whatsoever to confront them directly in battle.

Therefore, as long as they could temporarily contain him and send troops to nearby Skeleton camps for reinforcements, they could bring in more Skeleton creatures.

With enough numbers, they could overwhelm him!

Moreover, as long as the Skeleton clan’s soul power remained unharmed, they could sustain an endless assault. This was an advantage beyond the reach of living beings.

The key was to bide their time until the enemy was utterly fatigued – that would be their moment!

With this thought in mind, Yaska immediately dispatched Skeleton Knights. He had them split into several groups to search for reinforcements at nearby Skeleton camps. He also sent more Black Skeletons to encircle the area, ensuring the enemy wouldn’t escape before the reinforcements arrived.

On the sand dune, Ji Chen watched as the Skeleton Knights suddenly broke formation, charging outward and disappearing on the horizon. He was momentarily puzzled, wondering why they suddenly left.

However, as he witnessed a sizable horde of Black Skeletons swarming the sand dune, enveloping it entirely and cutting off any possible escape routes, he swiftly grasped the gravity of the situation, experiencing a sudden insight.

They’re going to fetch reinforcements!

His heart was filled with delight rather than worry.

Let’s see how he plans to overcome these Skeleton creatures without the assistance of those Skeleton Knights!

At the same time, Ji Chen pinpointed the approximate location of the Skeleton Commander.

He quietly said to Daro beside him, “During the counterattack, lead the

Half-Orc warriors and charge at this cluster of Skeleton creatures. You don’t have to fully break through, but do your best to flush out the enemy Skeleton Commander hiding among them.”

Upon hearing this, Dalo earnestly nodded. Ji Chen then turned to Anina and said, “Once Daro forces the enemy’s Skeleton Commander out, you kill it directly.”

“Leave it to me. I’ll definitely complete the task,” Anina said confidently as if it was a minor matter.

“Alice, as soon as the remaining Skeleton Lizards of the enemy move, immediately take control of them.”

“Alice understands.”

“Benbo, when the time comes, lead the Dragon Blood Murlocs and Elemental Sea Pixies to clear a path down the dune.”

“Yes, great lord.”

Everything was ready.

Ji Chen waited for some time, ensuring that the Skeleton Knights wouldn’t return in the short term and had distanced themselves sufficiently. Then, he issued the order to launch the counterattack.

In an instant, the defensive army that had been holding its ground charged downward aggressively.

Tridents and water arrows rained down on the enemy like a deluge, using the concentrated assault to carve out a path dozens of meters long and twenty to thirty meters wide.

Seeing this, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate to shout loudly:

“Execute the plan as scheduled!”

“Soldiers, charge!!!”

“Ura!!!”

The second line of attack was led by Daro and the Half-Orc warriors. At this moment, they charged downward through the cleared path, rushing toward a group of Skeletons.

The enormous axes they wielded swung up and down, smashing through a dozen or so obstructing Black Skeletons and Skeleton Hounds.

Following behind them, a multitude of powerful Half-Orc warriors marched like an unstoppable force, thrusting into the heart of the Skeleton horde like a formidable wedge.

Hidden amidst the Skeleton creatures, Yaska, upon seeing this scene, almost jumped in shock.

Damn it, this human actually launched a counterattack!? How dare he?

Yet, in this instant, its thoughts were consumed by a more immediate concern. These fierce Half-Orc warriors had inadvertently targeted its position for their assault, leaving no room to contemplate the impending issue.

Observing their advancing speed, they were probably going to reach its position in no time.

No, it needed to get away quickly.

Yaska began to maneuver backward slowly, attempting to retreat to a safer distance.

But this movement didn’t escape the notice of Ji Chen, who had been closely observing the situation.

The reason was simple: among all the Skeleton creatures pushing forward, there was suddenly one that was moving backward, standing out conspicuously.

Ji Chen’s eyes lit up instantly. “That Skeleton creature wielding a staff is the enemy’s Skeleton Commander!”

Upon hearing this, Anina, who had been hiding among the Half-Orcs, immediately poked her head out and took a glance. Once she confirmed the target, she charged forward.

Any Skeleton creature blocking her path, whether it was a Black Skeleton or a Skeleton Hound, was cleaved apart with a single swing of her sword, advancing even faster than Daro.

Hearing Ji Chen’s words, Yaska suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Seeing Anina, who was even fiercer than the Half-Orcs, charging straight toward it, it was almost scared out of its wits. It immediately ordered the remaining dozens of Skeleton Lizards to block her way, buying itself some time to escape.

However, it seemed to have underestimated the power of Anina, the humanoid whale.

Seeing a four to five-meter-long Skeleton Lizard charging at her, Anina felt no fear. With a sword in one hand, she delivered a powerful punch.

Krak—

The hardest part of the Skeleton Lizard’s body, its skull, shattered in all directions around the point of impact, turning into countless fragments.

The force of that single punch was terrifying!

After taking down the Skeleton Lizard, Anina didn’t pause for a moment, continuing her pursuit.

Everywhere she went turned into a storm of white bones.

But the Skeleton horde, having realized the situation, rushed forward recklessly under Yaska’s control, using their bodies to block her path.

Uncontrollably, Anina’s speed slowed down a bit, and Yaska managed to escape even further.

Seeing this, Ji Chen decisively gave the order.

“Elemental Sea Pixies, provide support! Don’t be stingy with your mana. Blast them to pieces!”

Upon hearing the command, hundreds of Elemental Sea Pixies immediately changed their targets. Water arrows rained around Anina, exploding the blocking Skeleton creatures into bits and pieces.

With their support, Anina’s speed picked up again as she continued her advance.

Watching Yaska getting closer and closer, a cold light gleamed in her eyes..
