The person in the magic image is probably a human. His skin is particularly pale against the background of his black robe, and his body is covered with a thick but lingering black fog. He holds a heavy book decorated with white bones in his right hand, and a crow with a knife like look in his eyes is standing on his shoulder.
——I know it's not a good stubble at first sight!
"Listen, lizard man."
His voice was like that of metal scraping, shaking his eardrums slightly.
"I declare the end of your tribe, put down resistance, join my army, and accept your equal death without pain. Otherwise, you will die after unimaginable torture, and your soul will always suffer as my booty."
The huge magic image is big enough for the lizard people of the whole tribe to see. The figure in black will become a nightmare for them all their life.
"You have five minutes to think and enjoy the last five minutes."
The magic image shrinks back to the sphere, and the sphere breaks like a mission and breaks into pieces of metal, as if it was announcing the future of the disobedient.
The wind with the breath of the dead is still blowing, and even the bravest lizard man feels a chill in his heart.
"Don't be overwhelmed by his momentum!"
The old patriarch roared loudly, and the people in a state of trance looked at him one after another.
"We have survived countless disasters. This is just a part of the experience of the claw tribe. Everyone continues to act according to my order!"
The trust in the patriarch dispelled the fear of undead creatures, and the whole lizard tribe moved again. Except for the white bone vultures still hovering in the sky and the irresistible fear in the heart, it seemed that nothing had happened just now.
But everyone, including the patriarch, knows that the worst has happened. The other party is the eternal enemy of all creatures, the necromancer.
And the target is their claw tribe.
"Kuran, evacuate the people immediately."
"Old man..."
The patriarch patted his grandson on the shoulder. He was still young and brave, but he was not smart enough. He still had time to slowly teach him everything, but now I'm afraid he has no spare energy to think about it.
"People, please give it to you."
Kuran clenched his teeth, clapped the patriarch's hand, turned and walked towards the people preparing to retreat, because he didn't want the old man to see his humiliating side.
"Oh, Kuran is obedient at last."
"It's rare. No one will accept this boy."
The old guys around the patriarch joked, as if they had put everything down.
"Yes, but he will be a good patriarch and certainly surpass me."
The old patriarch also turned and looked at the soldiers who gathered around him at some time.
"Sorry, I'm afraid we can't go back to the campfire to eat fresh fish this time."
"You can't let young people do this."
"We old bones can die for the glory of the tribe. Our ancestors will smile and open their arms to welcome us."
Lizard people are very united. This is a concept formed in the harsh natural environment. As long as it is for the survival and reproduction of the tribe, they will make great strides forward without hesitation, even if it is dangerous and dead.
"The last five minutes..."
Only five minutes, which is far from enough time for all the people to evacuate, and the insufficient part can only be won by them.
"Let the necromancer see the backbone of our claw tribe!"
"Oh!!!"
The wind and rain seem to be more urgent, but they can't quench the fighting spirit of lizard people.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The rain is getting smaller and smaller, which is normal for a thunderstorm.
But the dark clouds overhead still showed no sign of dispersing, and the thunder gathered in the clouds became more dense, making the black clouds look as if they were wrapped by gold wires.
A slight rustle gradually echoed in the lizard man's ears. At first, they thought it was the light sound caused by the wind blowing through the vegetation leaves, but they soon found that the sound was too neat and getting louder and louder.
"It's undead! The quantity and quantity are unknown. There are too many!"
The scout on the tower informed the soldiers below, which was not good news.
"Are you coming..."
On the edge of the tribe, an army of undead creatures composed of skeletons and zombies can be seen emerging from the shadow, just like demons climbing out of the underworld.
"Hey, hey, are you kidding? This quantity..."
"Did he mobilize the undead creatures of the whole swamp?"
Undead creatures move forward in neat steps. For undead creatures that move only by hating the living, their actions are too regular and obviously controlled by someone.
And the number is unusually large.
Just now, the number of undead creatures who came out of the swamp to the open space in front of the tribe has roughly exceeded 2000. Lizards people also see that more undead creatures are coming out of the shadows, as if endless.
"Give you equal death without pain..."
The old clan leader was holding a war hammer. If it weren't for the lizard man's expression, he must have smiled bitterly now.
"There's really no element of boasting."
The army of undead creatures did not stop, nor did they make any meaningless roars. They just kept moving forward in silence, which was chilling.
They totally don't exist as the lizard tribe not far away. Perhaps for them and the necromancer behind them, the claw tribe is just a stone run over by the wheel, which is not worth mentioning.
But even a stone will struggle to survive. Even if it is broken to pieces, it will never be run over by the wheel in vain!
"The preparation for retreat has been completed, but there are too many undead creatures and they are encircling us."
"Let the people evacuate from the rear. There should be some gaps to escape. Kulan should know how to do it."
There are too many undead creatures, and they have surrounded the whole tribe.
Just encircling an area also requires circuitous movement time. The front and both sides are naturally the fastest, while the latter is the slowest. There is a glimmer of vitality.
It is not so easy to gain this chance of life. The time is too short. So what we have to do now is to contain the enemy's troops from the front, delay the encirclement of the other party, and buy time for the retreat of the people.
"All soldiers!"
The old clan leader raised his hammer and roared fearlessly in the face of the undead creature striding forward:
"Charge with me!"
"Ooh!!!"
The remaining 80 lizard soldiers roared and followed their patriarch to rush to the Silent Army of the dead. The number of only 80 was a moth to the fire in front of the almost invisible undead army, and the burning will made them willing to contribute their lives.
"Soldiers! Your ancestors are watching you! Don't let your ancestors be ashamed!"
The old clan leader smashed the skull of a skeleton with a hammer and took the lead in the attack while shouting words to boost morale.
Each lizard man has to face more than five enemies, but the level of skeletons and zombies is not high. When facing elite troops, the advantage of a large number of miscellaneous soldiers takes some time to play.
And this time is exactly what they need to strive for.
The scene has become a battlefield with a completely unequal number of bones. The sound of bone fracture continues to ring. At the level of skeleton and zombie 10 ~ 15, it can not pose a great threat to lizard soldiers for the time being.
But they are undead creatures. They have no pain, no morale, no will, and no upper limit of endurance.
As long as the fire of the dead doesn't go out, the undead can move forward endlessly!
These guys only have a large number and have no tactics at all. Does he think they can overwhelm us only by a large number?
Or did the other party underestimate the enemy?
The old clan leader secretly planned that if the other party underestimated the enemy, it would be better. This time, let's win more time!
"Ah!"
What interrupted the old clan leader's consideration was a scream. He looked at the source of the scream. It was one of the old guys who had accompanied him through life and death. He was stabbed into his chest by two skeletons with swords and shields.
Skeleton soldier! Is this the main force of the other party!?
Although skeletons and skeleton soldiers are different in appearance, only the latter is armed, but their combat effectiveness is by no means the same.
"Shrink the line! Don't be careless, there are skeleton soldiers among them!"
With the command of the patriarch, the lizard troops that originally launched the impact formation quickly contracted into a circular array.
That's right, but it's not so easy to change the formation. During this period, several lizards fell under the knife of skeleton soldiers.
But the circle finally formed.
The lizard soldiers left behind to resist are skilled soldiers. They have experienced countless battles in their life. With their help, even if the undead creatures surrounded are all skeleton soldiers, they can persist for another period of time.
However, there is a thing in the world called Murphy's law. The less you want it to happen, the more likely it is to happen.
There was a buzzing sound from the release of the bow and crossbow. The old clan leader pulled out the war hammer from the Zombie's skull and looked up.
"Arrow rain is coming! Protect the key!"
A torrential rain of arrows composed of white bone arrows fell, and the target was the lizard man in a circular array.
Is it just my delusion to despise the enemy! The other party actually calculated that we would form a circular array!
Intensive arrow rain does not have high lethality to scattered troops, but its lethality to dense formations is explosive. Obviously, the other party did it on purpose.
Some lizard people hold simple wooden shields in their hands, while more lizard people simply protect the vital points of their heads with broad palms. However, in this way, they insert a lot of arrows on their left hands, which is the result of lizard people's natural scale armor protection. If other mortal races were replaced, they might be finished in the attack of this round of arrow rain.
And the offensive is not over.
The white bone vultures circling in the sky rushed down. They followed the arrow, saw the moment when the lizard man defended the arrow, and cooperated with the skeleton soldiers on the ground to launch a raid on the lizard man.
"Fight back! Fight back!"
Smash a vulture trying to grab his head, Lao Zu growed.
Buy more time, more! More!
Even if fewer and fewer soldiers follow him, even if the hope is more and more slim, he still unswervingly implements his goals
Buy time for the people, even one more second.
At this time, he felt a slight vibration under his feet, a bit like an earthquake, but it felt more like something of a huge size moving.
——Long!!!
A 20 meter tall earth giant climbed up from the swamp in the view. Its roar made lizard people breathe.
Earth element elder?!
No, alchemists?
The clay giant's forehead was carved with magic words, and its chest lit up like lava, which was the light emitted by the operation of the alchemy core.
Kuran, my grandson, your grandfather is going to return to his ancestors today
