Blood tax

Chapter 487 Army of the Dead

Bayerland's cavalry had just been hit by a round of shelling.The shells of the ship of the dead flew their flesh and blood.These black cannonballs are actually surrounded by a strange black-purple mist, falling from the sky and emitting a terrifying howl like a banshee, which almost tears away the human mind!

Murat's squadron of Veronese cavalry and mercenaries suffered the most damage.It was just a salvo, and some people were shelled. The black mist on the shells bit their bodies like flames and burned them, killing them in the blink of an eye.Others witnessed the tragedy, screamed frenziedly, and immediately dispersed.

"Come closer to me!" Griffith reined in his horse, held up Hanguang, and stood like a lighthouse in the raging waves of battle.

The fiery breath swept away following his orders, and the somewhat chaotic storm and the cavalry of the Black Wolf Squadron subconsciously lined up.As they leaned together, courage returned and the chaos subsided.

They were almost lined up at the muzzle, and the black gun barrel of the giant ship of the dead on the flood might launch a second round of shelling at any time, smashing the shells on their heads.However, the will of the cavalry overcame their fear, and they re-arranged into a neat formation.

"Lana, Murat, regroup our forces. Those who flee, let them go."

Griffith said to his comrades.In order to launch this charge, against the possible high-level combat forces in the rebel army, the reliable Lana and Murat acted with him.

"Enemies are everywhere here! If the elves can provide reinforcements, they'd better come now!" Lana pointed to the tentacle monster transformed into Iseus, which was in the front of the phalanx, facing the infantry like a mountain The defense line is pressed down.

"That's exactly what I mean," Griffith pointed at his collar, "but not now, you attack the rebels from the rear, contain them, and support the defense line on the low hill. I'll deal with Iseus. "

"What about that ship? They're going to blow us to pieces from behind! (You're dealing with so many enemies alone?)"

Lana and Murat were taken aback by the idea and blurted it out almost simultaneously.

As soon as the words fell, the sky was full of wind and clouds, and a bright light pierced the darkness, bombarding the ghost ship on the river.The blow seemed to shatter the shield and hit the battleship's hull directly.

Under this blow, the battleship actually let out an inhuman terrifying roar like a living thing, and a powerful evil will faintly appeared.It left the cavalry in front of it, turned around and headed towards the direction of the low hill.

At the same time, an indescribable spiritual energy also rose from the top of the low hill. On the noisy battlefield, it made people feel happy and comfortable in the embrace of the clear starry sky and the quiet forest.

"Action, gentlemen," Griffith immediately added [-] points of fighting spirit, "Galadia is here to support us!"

……

"The contract has been signed."

The black mud was spreading, and a terrifying and distant sound came from the magic circle.The terrifying breath frightened the crowd, causing them to flee in all directions.

The cavalry were all taken away by Lana and Murat.However, monsters full of withering and death came one by one.

"Report progress."

Griffith's tone became low and hoarse.The heavy horseshoes and Xi Lili's neighing echoed around him.At this moment, death hovers under the iron hooves of the war knights.

The corpses were pulled up from the ground by the bone ring Minos.

They recombine and coalesce to form fearsome minions headed by the stitch monster Guratoni.Darkness followed them, and the sound of death howled from their mouths.

Griffith gave the order to call up the Army of the Dead.However, this time, he sensed some familiar aura——

Units of undead become more powerful and ferocious.They are creatures killed and enslaved by Griffith.

"Did you summon us? Lord Death Knight," in the roar of thunder, the stitched monster like a mountain of meat shook its huge body and shook off the pieces of flesh. everything!"

"Lord Anselm, leader of the ghouls, at your service. I eat brains and nothing else!"

"Necromancer Conix, obedient to your will, invincible death knight. May the queen be well."

"Sif, the undead banshee, is on call, I hate it so much~"

Even the strange gold coin taken from the island of Neopolis trembled and hummed.All the mystical properties of death hail their new ruler—

Griffith, the holder of the bone ring Minos, an extraordinary knight who wields the authority of Sequence 5 "Death Knight"!

Layer upon layer of ravings enveloped Griffith's Extraordinary characteristics, most of which were used in the battle to defeat the fire dragon, and there were not many left at hand.He could only rely on his own psionic power to pull up a mixed army consisting of rotten corpses, necromancers, 24 ghouls, twelve self-destructing balls, six suture monsters and six beasts.

The intense consumption of spiritual energy almost crushed him, and something seemed to seep through the gap in his will.

The good news is that this is a powerful force. The blood baron who once fought Griffith, the garrison mage of Neopolis Island, and the fallen elves of the Belomon ruins also appeared in the enlisted battle sequence.Griffith absorbed or retained their extraordinary characteristics, and now they have become a famous elite unit that is more powerful than ordinary undead creatures.

"It is interesting."

Griffith groaned.He has already felt the difference of the bone ring Minos. After defeating the dragon and Iseus, this dormant Lord of the Rings has clearly been promoted to a Sequence 5 position.

"The power of Minos is unmatched," echoed the will of the bone ring, "waiting for your command, knight of the apocalypse. Where should the filth of the undead be spread?"

Griffith waved his sword and pointed, and the army of undead immediately rushed forward according to his will.

They tore through the chaotic formation of the rebels, and soon came near the monster Iseus had become.

The behemoth that was still wriggling and wriggling just now seemed to have frozen and stopped at a position less than two miles away from Byerland's defense line.Thick, ferocious, dark red flesh curls upwards, and the towering fang pillars are densely covered with astonishingly strange markings, and a turbulent and strange breath almost turns into a solid body.

It stands on the ground without any movement.This doesn't look like a monster, but a lair of flesh and blood!

Griffith watched suspiciously for a while.He came to stop him, but he didn't know how to do it... He is a Sequence 6 war knight, wielding the authority of a death knight, but he can't see through the thing in front of him at all.Iseus has become like this, there must be something to do...

"Minos can gain vision of controlled units," Bone Ring reported. "Suggest sending a scouting force."

This is good news.Griffith nodded slightly, ready to deploy troops to check.Just then, he heard someone talking...

"What is the boss waiting for? Could it be that he intends to let us go in to explore the way?" Baron Anselm was yelling, "There is no personal grudge between us! I will never say that he ate some parts of me! Oh no, I'm dead, but I still won't say it!"

"I am willing to obey," the necromancer Conix said calmly, "obedience is my destiny."

"Shut up, skinny," roared Gulatoni, the rotting soul corpse, "Boss is just slow to react!"

Griffith suddenly felt a headache, and the thoughts muttered by these undead creatures were mingled in his head.He took a deep breath and gave the ghoul the order to strike.

"Fight for Al! Ah, I mean the death knight!" Baron Anselm yelled, and was rushed in by other ghouls.

Unexpectedly, the troops rushing in became confused in a blink of an eye.Griffith could sense their aura, but couldn't get their vision. There was an inexplicable impulse and confusion interfering with the command.

There is something here that affects undead creatures.

Griffith then glanced at Sif, the undead banshee.

you go!

"Let me be your eyes, Lord Death Knight," the former Canaanite purifier and fallen elf immediately turned into a cloud of smoke, rushing towards the frozen flesh and tentacles, leaving only a bitter whisper, "I hate you."

Soon, the banshee's consciousness came back.All kinds of people were stunned on the spot.

A group of distorted tentacles entrenched on the chitinous carapace above the head, and hanging above it were pieces of cocoon-like containers, all wriggling inside were actually human shadows.

Bone spurs, bone chains, and spikes grew on their bodies, and the aura of each was strengthening, and almost all of them were transforming into monsters and hybrid experimental bodies.

At the moment of witnessing this scene, a series of chaotic inspirations appeared in Griffith's mind like lightning, and he immediately searched on the ground.

Soon, he found a bunch of surging tentacles growing on the gray-black bag-like body... Except for the shape of the stretched and groping tentacles, it looked like a split lump , a hole deep into the ground... The sick organs of this horrible and disgusting creature immediately made Griffith sound like the earth burrower he had seen before.

This fortress with tentacles of flesh and blood is actually manufacturing mysterious creatures in batches and digging tunnels leading to the front line!Once it's on top of the line...

"Anselm, Sif, get out!"

Can't wait any longer!Griffith immediately activated the Lord of the Rings "Khazini's Miracle", and the six weapons - long sword, javelin, halberd, battle axe, war hammer and flail - presented illusions in turn, like six comets shining and taking shape.

Griffith summoned the breath and soul of the ancient weapon, and then used a lot of psionic energy to create an almost illusory shape of the mysterious weapon.

"Zircon!"

A flickering arc of light appeared in Griffith's hand, buzzing and trembling unceasingly, and then he let go of his hand and blasted towards the top of the Flesh Fortress.

"Boom!" There was a sudden explosion in the sky that went straight into the sky, and the deep red arc even penetrated the dome, tearing a shocking gap.

This blow was one of Griffith's strongest attacks, strong enough to penetrate dragon scales.However, under this blow, the Flesh and Flesh Fortress showed no signs of collapsing. Instead, the cracked parts quickly healed and flesh grew rapidly.
