Volume 4 Dungeon Dungeon Chapter 168 Assassination
Outside the human stronghold of Yu Fang, the area was now surrounded by the spirits of Scourge. The once lush green grass of Cao Jia Zhou Ri Jiu and the ravaged by plague had withered into black, tattered leaves.
Looking at the terrified humans on the outpost tower, John finally managed a smile.
At this moment, as the commander of this Undead Army, he only needs to give the order, and the hordes of zombies and Ghoul will break through the roadblocks set up by the human army, bringing destruction to those humans.
At that point, his mission will be complete, achieving two goals at once.
His only regret was that he probably wouldn't have time to deal with the other team of reincarnators.
The black men originally sent were merely bait for John to test the enemy's strength.
Given the Black man's combat strength, if he could easily cause trouble for that squad, he could then confidently collect those points. However, the result was that the Black man was killed.
This means that, in the other team, besides the Tian-level expert who ambushed them, there were other level-3 reincarnators present.
It's true that Yue Chao was crazy, but he wasn't a reckless fool.
Especially at this crucial juncture when he was about to advance in his level, he couldn't afford any mistakes, so John temporarily put aside the other reincarnation team and focused all his attention on the mission to conquer the human stronghold.
The opposing paladin team was also solemnly worshipping on the huge white stone wall.
"Attack!" John gave the order for a general offensive.
Large numbers of Undead began to surge forward, while the human strongholds retaliated with logs and arrows.
One side attacked, the other defended. The fighting was incredibly fierce. But to John's surprise, the Scourge failed to breach the stronghold for an entire morning.
Clearly, the number of defending troops within the stronghold has increased.
"How is this possible? That guy Scottlin shouldn't know I'm coming to attack!" John was completely baffled. He knew the strength of the troops in the store quite well. Even with the paladin squad, the total strength was only a few, while he was leading a nearly 10,000- Undead Army. There was no way they couldn't take it down.
But the truth is, even after suffering heavy losses, his Undead Army still failed to capture the stronghold.
"Damn it, Scottlin must have heard the news, that's why he's on guard!" Joshua hurriedly ordered all the Undead to stop attacking. If they continued this assault, all his men would die here. Jumping off a huge skeletal warhorse, Joshua walked alone towards the city wall in the direction of the stronghold.
On the opposite stronghold, another person jumped down; it was clearly Scottlin, a paladin whose combat strength had reached the Bow level.
"It's you?"
When Scottlin saw John, he could not hide the shock in his eyes.
As the commander of the southern stronghold, he naturally recognized John, who was called the instructor captain. At the time, he felt that the man's origins were unknown and his whereabouts were strange. Now it seems that he was indeed a spy sent by the Scourge.
Of course, his hatred for the Forsaken tipped him off lessened considerably. If it weren't for the tip, allowing him to urgently recall the soldiers defending the surrounding villages, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack of so many Undead.
Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Scottlin immediately cast a holy light upon John launched his attack at the same time.
The battle between the two powerful figures was naturally thrilling.
At this moment, no one noticed that behind the Undead Army, a team of dozens of Abomination had appeared.
One of the men in the group, riding a skeletal warhorse, glanced at the two sides in the battle and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness I made it in time!"
This person was none other than Li Wei.
After successfully creating dozens of Abomination, he led these powerful soldiers to the human outpost in the south without stopping.
According to Li Xian's calculations, John should have already led the Undead Army to attack this stronghold by now.
If this Undead Army is completely annihilated, it will definitely increase the score at the end of the mission. Moreover, Li Wei will never let Yue Chao, who has become an enemy, go.
Behind him, dozens of uniquely designed Abomination stood ready.
"Kill!"
Li Wei shouted and led the group of Abomination into the Scourge army, immediately throwing the remaining Scourge soldiers into chaos.
The Abomination created by Li Wei are extremely powerful, especially those enhanced by the Stacking Technique, which are virtually unstoppable.
Their weapons and claws easily tore through the bodies of the Scourge soldiers, and Ghoul fell to the ground one after another. Dozens of Cave Demon didn't even have time to spit out spider silk before their heads were twisted off by the monsters.
John, who was locked in fierce combat with Scottlin, also sensed the chaos behind him, but he was tightly bound by Scottlin and couldn't break free at all.
Scottlin, however, upon seeing a Forsaken squad attacking the Scourge from both sides, decisively made a hand gesture to his subordinates at the stronghold.
The gates of the human stronghold slowly opened, and more than ten human warriors, wielding swords and shields, joined the battle. In an instant, the battlefield was filled with chaos and fighting.
Soon, the low-level units of Scourge Undead were eliminated, leaving only high-level Undead, whose numbers increased from the initial few hundred to a significant number.
This sudden attack from both sides completely stunned John.
As a reincarnator, he was strong enough, but as a commander, he was far from adequate.
Compared to Scottlin, a seasoned paladin, his judgment of the battle situation was on a completely different level. Even Li Wei was full of praise for Scottlin's on-the-spot command.
If it were me, I might not have had the courage to open the city gates and launch such a surprise attack amidst the chaos.
In short, under the combined attack of their own Abomination and human warriors, the Scourge's army was completely disintegrated, leaving only some high-level Undead. Although they were individually powerful, they were no longer able to cause any trouble.
However, compared to the defeat on the main battlefield, John's side gradually gained the upper hand.
"Card: Fire Dragon" The red card in John's hand suddenly transformed into a ball of flame, which then gradually expanded into the head of a Fire Dragon more than three meters tall, spewing fireballs at Scottlin.
Without the protection of the Holy Shield, Scottlin also suffered wounds. This was the first time he had encountered such a terrifying opponent, whose single spell was enough to keep him constantly on the run.
However, this situation was completely reversed after Li Wei joined the battle.
Even if Yue Chao were incredibly powerful at this moment, he couldn't possibly fight against two super experts. He knew he had been outmaneuvered by Li Wei, this reincarnated being.
Anger nearly made him lose his mind, but Yue Chao knew that this was definitely not the time to act impulsively.
One of the opponents is a Paladin of the Bow level, and the other is a swordsman of the Blink level. They are both skilled in close combat. As long as they keep their distance, they are not too difficult to deal with. If it were a one-on-one fight, I am confident that I could take down either of them in a few minutes.
However, after being attacked from both sides, his card attacks became useless. Rather than being tied up here without any progress, it was better to retreat early.
As long as he can return to the Scourge camp and lead more Undead troops here again, it's not too late. There are still three days left in the mission, and he can make ample preparations during this time.
Next time, we must eliminate the southern stronghold and this reincarnator.
With that in mind, John took out a blue card.
This is a card that grants him the ability to fly. Once he takes to the air, he can escape the battle and return to the Scourge camp.
John didn't care about the three slaves, including Catherine, who were still fighting. He could have as many of them as he wanted. The only pity was Catherine. That beauty was really good at martial arts; it would be a shame if she died here.
After using the card's effect, a pair of wings sprouted from his back, and he was about to take flight.
At this moment, John also glanced at the paladin Scottlin, who seemed unable to stop him, and at the "dumb" reincarnator standing still. Perhaps they were both very unwilling.
However, what could they do? Neither of them had any ranged attack capabilities, so they could only watch helplessly as they left.
But why do both Scottlin and the reincarnator have such strange looks in their eyes?
John, still puzzled, had already flown several meters off the ground when suddenly a white object shot out from the hand of the idiot reincarnator.
John was greatly surprised by this sudden situation, but he was not afraid. His body had long been covered with "Iron Skin" and magic, so neither bullets nor arrows could harm him.
However, John soon discovered that it was not a bullet or arrow at all, but a ball of sticky spider silk.
Caught off guard, Yue Shu was completely enveloped by the cloud of silk, and his wings were also bound. Without any upward momentum, he fell straight down.
"Oh no!"
John's mind went blank; he hadn't expected his opponent to possess magical abilities.
Fortunately, the opponent was still more than ten meters away. It would take time for them to attack immediately, giving him enough time to unleash a defensive card.
Just then, John suddenly felt a chill on his chest, and a black blade appeared and pierced through his chest.
Immediately, the excruciating pain spread from my chest throughout my body.
"How is that possible?"
Yue Chao was utterly horrified, and then he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
There was clearly no one around, so why was I assassinated the moment I landed?
Seeing the Ascendant Reincarnator behind him wielding a black longsword, John was filled with rage, but bound by spider silk, he was unable to dodge. The wound in his chest seemed to have drained all his strength, and the card in his hand fell limply to the ground.
The moment Li Wei stabbed John, he channeled his true energy into the blade, destroying John's chest cavity and internal organs. At this moment, even an undead Undead would definitely not be able to stand up.
Of course, Li Wei would not give the other party any chance to retaliate. In John's horrified eyes, he slapped John on the forehead with his palm. The powerful force of the palm instantly turned John's brain matter into a mess.
Now, even if a celestial being were to come, they wouldn't be able to save him.
