I didn't understand.
I didn't understand it literally.
The way this skeleton communicates is somewhat like telepathic communication.
And if you're going to communicate with me via brainwaves, at least send me something positive! Why are you sending me a bunch of gibberish?
The five players cursed each other inwardly for not using the common language, but outwardly made no extra move.
The skeleton knight didn't understand why these cavalrymen weren't answering him at all, so he continued to approach them.
At the same time, a new message appeared in a group chat that does not exist in this world:
"Do it!"
"Roar!"
A deafening roar resounded once more. The skeleton soldiers on the city wall had no idea what had gotten into the half-tree monster this time; they simply watched as the monster launched another charge and then retaliated.
However, the green giant was now displaying power and mobility completely different from before!
It nimbly dodged the rain of arrows from the outer wall, and after accelerating, it rolled and rapidly approached the wall, forcing the skeleton soldiers on it to lean out of the wall to fire.
The half-tree monster that arrived at the foot of the city wall had already Alienation a thick layer of tree bark on its upper body, and the damage from arrows began to decrease rapidly.
Its hands and feet gradually grew sharp, curved claws, which hooked into the city wall with just a light swipe.
Then the half-tree monster began to climb, braving the skeleton soldiers' gunfire. With each step closer it got, the skeleton soldiers on the city wall grew less emboldened.
Inside the sandcastle, near the city wall.
With a roar that could drown out all other noises, a dark brown robe was flung at the skeleton knight.
With a single stroke of his sword, the skeleton knight cleaved his robes that obscured his vision and witnessed a scene he would never forget:
Five human figures leaped into the air, each wielding a different weapon, and launched an attack on him.
At that moment, how could he not realize that he had been tricked?
With all attention focused on the half-tree monster, who would care whether the creature on the skeletal horse's back, beneath the Alliance robes, was actually a skeleton?
The situation is likely similar now; the monsters outside are drawing attention again, while these despicable humans launch a surprise attack.
I just don't know how they manipulated that monster to work with them.
As a Middle Tier fortress knight, although he was slightly inferior in strategy, he was far superior to these mere humans in combat!
A pale white hand brushed against the long military knife, and a mottled stream of Psionic Energy was attached to it.
By the time he reached the Middle Tier knight level, he was able to perform basic Psionic Energy Manifestation, which he could then use to enhance his weapons so that they wouldn't easily break or chip in battle.
In the instant the blade flashed, the skeleton knight unleashed a powerful initial strike at the nearest enemy.
Metal clashed, swords flashed.
In a battle where he was outnumbered five to one, the Middle Tier fortress knight quickly realized a problem—
The coordination of these five humans was almost too exquisite.
As a Middle Tier knight guarding the border for the Skeleton Alliance, his combat experience is considerable. Over the past twenty years, he has frequently clashed with small elite forces of the Empire, with a record of more victories than defeats.
However, he had never seen such enemies before. Their fighting style was extremely chaotic, sometimes at a distance and sometimes close, yet they were able to coordinate perfectly with each other.
He had severed one of the men's arms, but to his surprise, the man was able to continue fighting despite the pain.
But the most bizarre thing was yet to come. One person was cleaved in two from the left shoulder down to the lower right abdomen, almost being cut in half.
Even such severe injuries did not kill the enemy immediately.
He let out a cry of pain and voluntarily stepped back, pulling his body away from the military knife. He was then protected by the others and quickly began applying something strange.
Less than half a minute later, he was back in the fight, full of energy once again.
In the preceding half-minute, although the remaining four struggled against the skeleton knight, their formation did not collapse, and no further serious injuries or casualties occurred.
But once that person recovered quickly and rejoined the battle, things returned to how they were before.
Something's not right here!
If this continues, I'll eventually be worn down and die!
Furthermore, none of my skeleton soldiers have arrived yet, which suggests there must be a problem on the city walls as well. We must finish this quickly!
The skeleton knight's sharp gaze swept over the crowd. After parrying, he dodged a stray arrow shot from the corner, then reached out and stroked the blade again, giving it a second "enchantment."
He then spotted one of his enemies, lunged forward, and swiftly slashed down, attempting to replicate his previous feat of nearly killing someone with a single blow.
Having learned his lesson the hard way, [ Easily Soluble in Water ] raised his weapon to block with all his might, only to receive a powerful front kick from his opponent.
His body flew backward, knocking down another player in the process.
The fortress knight parried with his saber, then swiftly changed direction and delivered a horizontal slash.
"Bite!"
A metal hidden blade and a short sword made of iron birch wood were crossed on the left side of [ Howling Pothos ]'s body, absorbing the entire powerful blow.
Seeing this, another player quickly stepped forward to attack, but the fortress knight dodged by dodging left and right.
As he dodged the player's attacks, [ Howling Pothos ] showed no signs of weakening, as if a part of his body had been nailed to this space.
Despite the immense force, [ Howling Pothos ]'s entire body trembled, but even so, he couldn't push the blade that had already slashed his shoulder any further.
With one foot braced against the ground and the other delivering a series of kicks, the fortress knight brought down his opponent and looked at the Soul Returner before him:
"Just as I thought!"
The skeleton knight in front of her opened its mouth, and this time [ Howling Pothos ] understood its words:
"As expected, they were hiding a Middle Tier one."
Yes, at one point the fortress knight suddenly realized the biggest problem in this battle: one of the five opponents seemed to be particularly good at cooperating with others.
Whenever his strike was about to hit someone's vital point, someone would always block it at just the right moment, as if the target had suddenly gained a third hand.
However, when that person does this, there is always someone between them, making it difficult to determine which one it is amidst the chaos of battle.
Fortunately, my eyesight was sharp enough that I managed to find it after observing for a while.
Now, the situation should be reversed!
In the blink of an eye, the fortress knight pressed his left hand against the back of his saber and applied pressure a second time, causing the blade to sink a few inches into [ Howling Pothos's ] left shoulder once more.
The damage inflicted further weakened the strength in his left shoulder, leaving him powerless to resist and allowing the blade to penetrate even deeper...
