C510 Archer? Cavalry?
Hearing Wuya Anqin's hypothesis, the hearts of the few of them couldn't help but shiver.
It wasn't as if they hadn't 'singled out' a group of people before. At the mouth of Yunshan Mountain, it was a very good example. Those hundred plus people were all killed within a short period of time.
However, out of the hundred plus people present, even if there were another three to five hundred people, they would still be able to handle them. However, this did not mean that they could face the army of thousands with ease.
One had to know that a dozen people, tens of people, and even over 100 people could at most be considered to have the numbers advantage, but it was still far from being able to cause one's heart to tremble.
However, when faced with thousands and thousands of troops, it was just another experience. One could only see people everywhere. Perhaps the word 'big' could not really make people feel shocked.
This was also the reason why those highly skilled people who roamed the martial arts world could challenge several great sects, but no one dared to prove that they had clashed with an army. This was not determined by the level of one's power, the key to success or failure was a type of 'momentum', a kind of magical power that could crush everything.
In fact, many of the main forces in a frontal confrontation were fighting in the 'power' aspect. This was the essence of the scheme.
"Boss, should we choose to fight or retreat? We believe in your judgement! " Pig Man stared at Wuya Anqin with sparkling eyes, and spoke with great trust.
"Wait first. If the enemy doesn't move, then I won't. If the enemy moves, then retreat immediately!" Wuya Anqin cautiously asked while observing the skeleton's movements.
"Yes sir!"
Not long after, a large number of skeletons had already gathered, and they were still showing up. It was as if there were an endless number of skeletons, and no matter how one climbed, they would not be able to finish.
"Boss, how about we rush up to them and give them a try?" The giant didn't like to wait like this. He liked to fight with his fists more, and he really wanted to know if the other party was really arrogant and wanted to take revenge for his ass.
"What's the hurry? If you want to die, no one will care about you! Right now, the most important thing for us to do is to figure out what those skeletons are doing! " Pig Man scolded from the side.
The current situation was not so serious that he had no choice but to make a decision. However, the behavior of the skeletons in front of him was unfathomable. At the same time, this place was an unknown and strange illusion. It could be said that anything could happen, and in that situation, the only thing he could do was to calm down and carefully observe.
"Let me test it out!" Waiting is not a good idea! " Wuya Anqin muttered to herself for a while before she made her suggestion.
For them right now, the sooner they could escape the better, and the only thing blocking their path was these countless skeletons in front of them.
However, this was the first time they had encountered these skeletons. Forget about their actual abilities, they didn't even know if they had a fatal weakness. How could they fight in this kind of situation?
Most importantly, Wuya Anqin really wanted to know if her illusion skills could affect these skeletons.
The best way to know all this was to find out what had happened to the enemy. Besides himself, the only one with the lowest movement ability was the giant fellow, and he was also injured. If he had to run away, he would definitely be the first one to die.
Thus, this suggestion from Wuya Anqin came out, the moment he said it, the others immediately knew Wuya Anqin's goal, and decided to just shut their mouths. Although they sympathized with the giant man, they knew that this was the best way to look at this situation.
"Boss, wouldn't this move them in advance?" and get them to attack us? " Pig Man thought for a while, then asked about it.
"How about this, Big Bro, use your full strength and ruthlessly attack the huge skeleton in the lead. No matter what reaction it has, you immediately retreat!" Wuya Anqin also hesitated, he was also a bit worried that something like this would happen, but after thinking about it carefully, she decided to make the arrangements.
"Just for a moment?" The giant man was not very smart. Hearing Wuya Anqin's arrangement, he did not think about it, but felt that it was not enough and even asked a question in reply.
"It can only last a moment. If we turn around and run, you have to keep up. Otherwise, if we get torn apart by those skeletons, we can't be blamed!" Wuya Anqin was almost amused by the giant man's question. Had this sacrifice finally come to his senses? They even offered to send him to his death?
"Oh, got it!" The giant also couldn't help but gulp down his saliva when he heard Wuya Anqin. He also understood a bit of what Wuya Anqin meant.
With the exception of the giant, everyone else had made their preparations to turn and run away. They stared at the skeleton army s in front of them.
"I'm going up!" The giant man charged forward and said to the four men who were ready to run away.
"En!" The four answered in unison.
"If I'm no match for him, you guys can give me a hand!" The giant thought for a moment, then added.
"Don't worry!" Green-skinned Man replied impatiently.
The giant was still anxious. Although these people said that they were relieved, but once he was in danger, they would run faster than anyone else.
Just as the giant was preparing to charge with all his strength, a change happened to the skeletons on the other side.
First, the huge skeleton skillfully retracted its huge bone sickle, and after a few more blade strokes, it heavily smashed the bottom of the handle to the ground.
As he smashed forward, the skeletons that were originally disorderly and disorderly started to quickly assemble in formations that only the military had. It was as if he was silently giving out orders.
This scene caused Wuya Anqin and the others to be dumbstruck. They simply could not understand what was happening, could it be that these skeletons possessed a human's consciousness? Could it be that they had done these actions countless times before they died, and these actions had already been deeply imprinted into their bones?
If it was said that Wuya Anqin was surprised and puzzled by the formation of skeletons, then the following movements of the skeletons made the five of them feel a sense of unease and fear.
This was because the assembled skeletons naturally formed a few square arrays, and each square array had a certain distance between each other, as if they had been deliberately measured.
At the same time, as the square formation changed, it gradually formed into a large army formation with a set pattern. It was just that Wuya Anqin had never come into contact with battles before, so she could only vaguely guess that the enemy's skeletons had formed a special attack formation!
When the last few arrays appeared in Wuya Anqin's line of sight, Wuya Anqin no longer had any thoughts of remaining calm and collected. He only thought of the word 'escape'.
The reason for that was because the few newly formed square formations were actually made up of skeleton archers with bone bows in their hands, each and every one of them armed with a body covered in bone arrows.
If it was just the Skeleton Infantry soldiers, then perhaps it wouldn't be so frightening, but the appearance of these Skeleton Archers proved that their fighting strength had more than doubled.
The crossbowmen were the main force that could kill from a distance. Since they were not good at close combat, shooting from a distance was considered an art form. This art wouldn't show its pleasing side, but would only give people the feeling of 'black cloud pressing down on one's heart', and the feeling of 'omnipresent' being powerless.
And in the Honglong Empire, only a few large groups of armies would be equipped with a set of crossbows, but this army that was formed from skeletons actually also possessed this kind of army of 'mass destruction'.
For those martial artists, the infantry might not make them feel any lingering fear, but the crossbow army really did make them feel some fear.
"Boss, this ?" Pig Man's face was pale white, but he didn't know what to say!
"Damn it, they were not waiting for something just now. They were gathering their troops. F * ck, quickly retreat with me!" Wuya Anqin was so shocked that she shouted with all her might.
Before this, he hadn't been able to understand why these skeletons hadn't attacked them. They did not know what they were waiting for. Now, they finally knew that these skeletons were gathering more troops. They did not plan to let the five of them go.
Hearing Wuya Anqin's words, the few of them were first stunned, then they all reacted. They did not care whether or not they would be attacked by the skeleton archers behind them, and only desperately ran back to the road they came from.
They had chosen to stay where they were before, so how could it be so easy for them to run away now?
Wuya Anqin and the rest did not run far, when suddenly, they heard a series of short 'tat tat tat' sounds coming from behind them. It sounded very much like the sounds of horses' hooves, and the sounds became more and more frequent.
But where did all this noise come from? Could it be that this skeleton army not only had the Sagittarius troops, but also cavalry?
As they thought of this, they all turned around to look behind them. As they looked, their hearts felt like they had lost their ability to beat, and the cold air around them was sucking in air with all their might.
In their line of sight, there was actually a skeleton cavalry unit, and its scale was not small at all.
Every single Skeleton Cavalry soldier seemed to be carved from the same mold. They all had bone spears and short crossbows, and even had a small shield on their arm, looking exquisite and simple. At the same time, a crescent shaped scimitar hung on the back of the horse, which was a testament to the excellent quality of this skeleton cavalry.
The Skeleton Horse below the Skeleton Knight was not entirely composed of bones. On the body of the horse was this ink-black robe, and at the gaps of the armor, a faint blue light could be seen, as if it was a transparent ribbon floating in the air.
If one observed carefully, it was obvious that the surrounding plants would be covered with a thin layer of frost where the horses were.
"What kind of horse is this?" The five of them all had a question in their hearts. Let alone seeing it, they had never heard of it before.
