Chapter 356: The Power of the Sea of Skeletons

Chapter 350 – The Might of the Sea of Skeletons
The next image that Maya played made Owen’s expression directly turn ugly.

“Initially I thought that they plundered the population to serve as slaves or even food, who knew that it was a sacrifice, a very bad news.” Maya said quietly as she zoomed in on the image of the mass grave.

At the edge of a huge deep pit, the barbarian warriors standing there in a circle were like chefs carrying butcher knives, slaughtering the slaves tied up in strings with ropes like chickens, wiping their necks one by one and throwing them into the pit, letting each other’s bodies gradually become cold and hard in the midst of the convulsions, and letting the flowing blood cool down at the bottom of the pit and turn into big icy lumps, at this moment their knives were cold, their blood was cold, their hearts were cold, and they were frozen on They are freezing.

Shamans on the side like peeling lychees, fresh skulls into decorative and sacrificial items, the original, although primitive but close to the natural sacrifice has become evil, but the effect is remarkable, thousands of skeletons to break free from the binding flesh and blood, remove cumbersome viscera, minus the useless eyeballs, shaking out the large chunks of brain, clean climb out of the pit, become qualified cannon fodder, skeleton soldiers.

This is just the beginning, whenever enough slaves are plundered, the same blood sacrifice will appear, causing the cannon fodder of the barbarian kingdom’s army to grow exponentially, and because the number is getting bigger and bigger, the ripple effect is also getting wider and wider, at the same time, more and more slaves are plundered, and even it is no longer limited to the empire’s people, even barbarian tribes have also become the object of their plundering and blood sacrifices.

Such a grand killing feast, let lurking in the north of the devil’s head and the church of flesh and blood people also excited, not only participate in the feast, but also joined the barbarian kingdom’s army, become a member of the sword of slaughter.

“It’s not right, it’s too wrong, even if it transformed, it couldn’t have transformed so quickly.” Owen muttered.

Although the Northland barbarians are savage and aggressive, and even some customs can be called cruel, but will not kill unnecessarily, the shaman even believes in the way of nature, otherwise let go of hunting, how many prey are not enough for the barbarians to Huo Huo.

So in the case of living in a remote area without external threats, there is such a big change, is incredible, is not scientific, is against the laws of nature, so it must be because there are other factors, will cause this abnormal change.

Now the situation of the barbarian kingdom must be very bad, Owen has already seen the prototype of the iron blood army kingdom, and the bloodthirsty cruelty and desire for power, and now also mixed in the head of the devil and the church of flesh and blood, together with the original evil frost giants and dragons, the barbarian kingdom has all the elements to become a villainous base camp.

Although the situation is very bad, but the barbarian kingdom army is getting farther and farther away from the north city, Owen’s territory has not been affected at all, after all, unless the barbarian kingdom army purposely turn around, otherwise it is not compatible with Owen’s territory, not to mention that the barbarian kingdom army has a clear purpose, heading straight to the border of the empire, now the empire’s border army and the newly established northland nobles alliance have received the news, and they have fallen into a panic.

The Northland Noble Alliance can still hide, after all, the Northland is vast, as long as it is far away from the barbarians, the Kingdom of the army will not specialize in chasing, but the Imperial Border Army can not hide, can only prepare for war with all their might.

Unfortunately, the imperial frontier army has been too slack for too long, even if the tight integration, now is only barely put together a hundred thousand soldiers, that is, armor can fight regular soldiers, the rest of the top as auxiliary soldiers.

This is obviously not enough, theoretically as a defending side, relying on the strong city, no three or five times the enemy simply can not attack, but the barbarian kingdom’s army simply can not be calculated by common sense, even worse is up to more than a hundred thousand, and the number of skeleton army is still increasing, these cannon fodder if a swarm of up, no any one of the strong city dares to say that they can not be blocked.

Not that the skeleton soldiers are powerful, but because the number is too much.

People a tens of thousands of boundless, not really boundless, but can not see the border. Tens of thousands are so, more than 100,000 skeleton soldiers spread out flat, can only be described as a sea of bones.

What’s more, the skeleton soldiers have a high mitigation of long-range damage, arrows and bullets are difficult to cause effective killing, plus the light and sturdy body is very suitable for climbing the walls, really like a sea of bone waves coming in constantly, unless a few legendary mages shuffle the ground together, or else the soldiers alone can’t really defend it, even if the professionals join in.

First of all, people’s energy is limited, in the case of top helmet with armor constantly wielding weapons, can last half an hour even if it is good, called an elite, a hundred war veterans but also know how to distribute physical strength, the same is not iron, can’t carry a wave of impact.

Faced with the same human, can also hold on and wait for the opportunity to change defense, but the face of tireless and fearless waves of skeleton soldiers, dare to change the defense is purely looking for death, can only add oil to the same constantly hard to hold on, as for what time to hold on, who does not know, only know that the collapse is a matter of time.

This is the place where the undead are most feared, and the undead spell stamina spell endurance spell will, purely looking for death.

Now everyone knows that this grand scale war has been inevitable, and it unfolded at a time when everyone was unable to defend themselves.

As the former shaman who had been transformed into a death priest held up all kinds of spells made of bones, the sea of skeletons set off waves, just like peeling an onion, layer after layer of skeleton soldiers took steps towards the city wall, for a time the sound of clacking bones covered all the sounds, including the sound of the teeth of the city wall guards chattering and the shivering bodies vibrating the armor leaves.

Fear and trepidation didn’t matter, the defenders’ heartfelt refusal didn’t change the direction of the skeleton soldiers’ advance, the arrows shot, and the roar of the artillery also didn’t do the same, the white sea of skeletons accompanied by falling snowflakes kept advancing, trying to cover everything.

The war began, to people’s surprise, the huge volume of the imperial border army came up and fell into a disadvantage, even if the knights and mages were deployed, they did not equalize the disadvantage, it was really the barbarian kingdom’s army that was too much.

First of all, nearly no cost skeleton sea impact, wait until the defending army stamina consumption almost, throwing thick ice gun frost giants, swooping can turn people into broken pieces of the dragon man, good at summoning the demon warlock, like flesh and blood aberration of the flesh religious, became a sharp axe, easily will be the wall of the wall of the defense completely split, and then the brazen barbarians warriors rushed up to completely tear apart the line of defense, successfully won the victory.

What was even more terrifying was that the Barbarian Kingdom’s army didn’t need prisoners, only constant blood sacrifices, and through blood sacrifices, they easily obtained more skeleton soldiers as supplements, while the shamans who had turned into death priests became even more powerful.

The whole process was brutal but efficient, even the Imperial Border Army which had the advantage of defense was powerless to resist, and could only delay the process by setting up layers of defense.
