Chapter 385 The Troublesome Corpse Legion
Chapter 385 The Troublesome Corpse Legion
A spatial rift appeared in front of Jiang Han, and then a large number of undead creatures rushed out of the spatial rift.
The first to charge out was the skeletal Nether Dragon Long Da, which was nearly a hundred feet long. It flew into the air and let out a loud dragon roar. The four white bone claws on its belly gleamed with a sharp, cold light, and the pair of bone wings on its back, which had a wingspan of several hundred meters, flapped suddenly.
In an instant, a gale howled, and the walls of fire on the ground swelled again due to the gale. Several skeleton soldiers that were about to rush out were forced back by the scorching flames.
Next up is Long Er. Although Long Er, at the peak of his leadership, is slightly less imposing than Long Da, his combat power is by no means weak. As soon as he appeared, he used a venomous breath to wipe out a large number of skeleton soldiers.
After Long Da and Long Er came out, there were nearly a hundred white bone lizard demons, more than ten undead giant lizards, and more than twenty undead lizard skull giant demons that had not yet advanced.
As Jiang Han's undead creatures burst out of the spatial rift, large numbers of skeletal creatures were torn apart and devoured by the white bone lizard demons, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Sha Yuan team and amazed many of the Guardian Mages.
"Wow, are all young people these days this terrifying?" Judge Shi Zheng, who hadn't witnessed Jiang Han's strength before, remarked.
"Doesn't it give you the feeling of the new generation pushing the old one aside, while the old one is left lapping at the beach?" Du Xiao Lie Wang joked with a laugh.
"A minor monarch-level bone dragon, a giant lizard pseudo-dragon at the peak of the Grand Commander level, and nearly a hundred warrior-level white bone lizard demons—his combat power alone is perhaps stronger than half a legion of mages," Li Yujian commented, looking at Long Da and Long Er in the air.
"Yes, we absolutely must get this kid into our Ancient Capital Garrison District after he graduates," said Military Commander Yaoting.
"Commander Yaoting, it's not even daytime yet, why are you daydreaming?"
"Let's not even talk about whether Jiang Han will join the Guard Department. Even if he does, he wouldn't come to your Ancient Capital Guard District. Many members of the Jiang family are serving in the Southern Guard District. Do you think they would send someone over so easily?" Zhu Meng said with a smile.
"It's really troublesome. I'm a little unwilling to just let this promising talent go." Zhu Meng's words immediately put Yao Ting, the military commander, in a dilemma.
While Zhu Meng and several other high-level mages were chatting, the windship constructed by the Guardian Mages accelerated its advance once again. Outside the fire wall, the skeleton army, led by Bone General and Bone Minister, was engaged in a fierce battle with the Bone Lizard Demons. Skeleton soldiers were constantly being torn apart by the Bone Lizard Demons, and undead Lizard Giants were also constantly being surrounded and killed by the skeleton soldiers.
Although Jiang Han's undead creatures suffered losses, their overall strength continued to grow stronger in the battles. The remaining undead lizard giants either advanced to the warrior-level white bone lizard demons or were torn apart by skeleton soldiers, becoming nourishment for other creatures of the same kind to grow stronger.
Despite the onslaught of the skeletal lizard demons, the Royal Guard mages barely expended their magical energy before breaking through the skeleton army's blockade and encountering a massive army of rotting corpses.
Because of the leadership of the Mountain Corpse, the Corpse Legion is more organized than the Skeleton Legion.
Under the command of the higher-level corpses, a large number of rotting corpses surrounded the Sha Yuan team. If they were surrounded, their way back to the inner city would be completely cut off. The Mountain Corpse's goal was to annihilate the main force of humanity outside the city.
"The Corpse of the Mountain is commanding the horde of corpses! All personnel, prepare for battle!!!" The team's commander, a mind-based mage, communicated this message to everyone in the team via telepathy.
As their gaze swept across the area, a vast, black tidal wave surged forth, accompanied by a gray-black aura of death and miasma that once again permeated the air along with the horde of corpses.
"Corpse poison! It's the Corpse Corpse Legion's corpse poison storm!!!" the commander shouted again through telepathy.
Countless high-level water mages simultaneously cast high-level water magic, and the dazzling blue constellation light was so beautiful that it could be seen a kilometer away. The deep blue water screen enveloped every guard mage on the outer perimeter.
Countless curtains of water cascaded down from the sky like waterfalls, enveloping the entire team in front, behind, left, and right, forming a small safety barrier that completely shielded them from the outside.
"Water Bloom Sky Curtain!!!"
The storm of corpse poison surged in and completely engulfed the entire team, making it impossible to see any trace of the Sha Yuan Squad from the outside. Just as many people on the city wall were worried for them, countless golden rays of light burst forth from the gray-black storm of corpse poison.
The sacred light that shone through the poison storm was like tens of thousands of golden, hundred-foot-long swords piercing the bodies of poisonous beasts, clearing away the poisonous fog and allowing the guard mages on the city wall, as well as Han Ji and others, to spot the group's whereabouts.
Gold and cyan alternated, instantly illuminating the figures of the mages in the group. Then came a dense array of star trails, star charts, and constellations forming a magnificent and inspiring annihilation storm magic array on the battlefield.
The Annihilation Storm Formation continuously dispelled the corpse poison released by the army of rotting corpses. At the same time, the fierce wind blades in the storm tore many rotting corpses into pieces of flesh scattered everywhere. Even the general-level corpse generals could not escape, and some unlucky tumor-like corpse ministers were directly and severely injured.
The Bone Lizard Demon and the Undead Giant Lizard also seized the opportunity to rush up and frantically devour the undead crystals that fell to the ground.
As the Bone Lizard Demons devoured and evolved, Jiang Han's system points surged once again. At the same time, his soul power also slowly increased due to the feedback from the Bone Lizard Demons. He believed that it wouldn't be long before his soul would completely enter the sixth realm, and his control over various magic types would also surge again.
"No, there are too many zombies; it's too difficult to break through."
"Young man of the Jiang family, have your two summoned beasts cooperate with the fire-type guardian mage to clear the way." Zhu Meng's voice rang out from mid-air.
"Okay." Jiang Han contacted Long Da and Long Er through the contract, instructing them to cooperate with the Imperial Guards and clear the way ahead.
While passing through the skeleton army, the wall of fire built by the guard mages was repeatedly breached by the bone generals. If it weren't for Jiang Han's white bone lizard demon taking timely place, the team might still be surrounded by the skeleton army.
Unlike the disorganized skeleton army, the rotting corpse army, led by high-level corpses, charged directly at the Sha Yuan squad, stepping over the bodies of their own kind and frantically crashing against the blue water curtain. If this continued, the magic energy of the mages constructing the water curtain would be consumed at an accelerated rate.
"Ooh!!!"
"roar!!!"
The loud roar of the dragon and the howl of the second dragon rang out at the same time, and the terrifying power directly caused many corpses to prostrate on the ground. The fire-elemental guard mage took the opportunity to release high-level fire magic, and countless rains of fire fell from the sky into the army of corpses.
The flames continued to scorch the rotting corpse, filling the air with a stench comparable to years of silt settling in a sewer.
Long Da and Long Er's sudden attack on the Corpse Legion naturally attracted the attention of the Mountain Corpse. The Mountain Corpse, as large as a mountain, flowed through the vast sea of corpses and slowly walked towards Long Da and Long Er.
