Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 350 The Power of the Skeleton Sea
The video that Maya played next made Owen's expression immediately ugly.

"At first I thought they plundered the population to serve as slaves, or even food, but it turned out to be a sacrifice. This is very bad news." Maya said quietly after zooming in on the image of the mass grave.

On the edge of a huge deep pit, the barbarian warriors standing there in a circle are like chefs holding butcher knives, like slaughtering chickens, wiping the necks of the slaves tied up in a string and throwing them into the pit one by one. The other party's body gradually became cold and hard during the convulsions, and the flowing blood was allowed to cool down at the bottom of the pit and turned into a big lump of ice. At this moment, their knives are cold, their blood is cold, and their hearts are cold. They froze.

The shamans on the side made fresh skulls into decorations and sacrificial supplies like peeling lychees. The original but close to nature sacrifices also became evil, but the effect was remarkable. Thousands of skeletons broke free from the shackles Take off the cumbersome internal organs, remove the useless eyeballs, shake out a large piece of brain, and climb out of the pit cleanly to become a qualified cannon fodder and skeleton soldier.

This is just the beginning. Whenever enough slaves are plundered, the same blood sacrifice will appear, causing the cannon fodder of the barbarian kingdom's army to increase exponentially. More and more people, not even limited to the empire, even the barbarian tribes have become the targets of their plundering blood sacrifices.

Such a grand killing feast excited the head of the demons lurking in the north and the members of the Church of Flesh. They not only participated in the feast, but also joined the army of the barbarian kingdom and became a member of the butcher knife.

"It's wrong, it's too wrong, even if it changes, it's impossible to change so quickly." Owen muttered to himself.

Although the barbarians in the north are brutal and aggressive, and even have some customs that can be called cruel, they will not kill needlessly. Shamans believe in the way of nature. Otherwise, if they let go of hunting, the prey will not be enough for the barbarians.

Therefore, it is inconceivable, unscientific, and contrary to the laws of nature to have such a big change in the situation of living in a corner without external threats. Therefore, there must be other factors that cause this abnormal change.

The situation in the barbarian kingdom must be very bad now. Owen has seen the rudiment of the iron-blooded military kingdom, as well as bloodthirsty cruelty and desire for power. Now it has mixed with the head of the devil and the church of flesh and blood, plus the original evil frost giant Like the dragon people, the barbarian kingdom already has all the elements to become a villain's stronghold.

Although the situation is very bad, the army of the barbarian kingdom is getting farther and farther away from the North City. Owen's territory has not been affected at all. After all, unless the army of the barbarian kingdom makes a deliberate turn, it has nothing to do with Owen's territory, let alone the barbarians. The army of the kingdom had a clear purpose and went straight to the border of the empire. Now the imperial frontier army and the newly formed alliance of northern nobles have received the news and are in panic.

The Northland Noble Alliance can still hide. After all, the Northland is vast. As long as it is far away, the army of the barbarian kingdom will not pursue it specially.

It's a pity that the empire's frontier army has been slack for too long. Even if it is reorganized quickly, it can barely cobble together a hundred thousand regular soldiers, that is, regular soldiers who can fight in armor, and the rest are at most auxiliary soldiers.

This is obviously not enough. In theory, as the defender of the city, relying on the strong pass and strong city, there are no three or five times as many enemies as they can't attack at all. The number of skeletons is still increasing. If these cannon fodder swarm up, no strong city can dare to say that it can stop it.

It's not that the skeleton soldiers are powerful, but because there are too many of them.

Human beings are boundless, not to say that they are really boundless, but that they cannot see the boundaries.

Tens of thousands are like this, and 10,000+ skeleton soldiers are spread out, which can only be described as a sea of ​​bones.

What's more, skeleton soldiers have a high reduction of long-range damage, arrows and bullets are difficult to cause effective kills, and their light and strong bodies are very suitable for climbing city walls. Otherwise, soldiers alone would not be able to defend it, even if professionals joined.

Firstly, a person’s energy is limited, and under the condition of wearing a top helmet and armor and constantly brandishing a weapon, it is not bad if it lasts for half an hour. It can be called an elite. Can't stop the waves of shock.

Facing the same human beings, you can still hold on and wait for the opportunity to change defenses, but facing the tireless and fearless skeleton soldiers coming in waves, daring to change defenses is purely courting death. At that time, no one knows, only that the collapse will happen sooner or later.

This is the most frightening thing about the undead. Fighting with the undead for physical strength, endurance, and will is purely courting death.

Now everyone knows that this large-scale war is inevitable, and it started when everyone was too wrong to prevent it.

As the former shaman who was transferred to the death priest held up various magic tools made of bones, the sea of ​​skeletons caused waves, just like peeling onions, layers of skeleton soldiers stepped towards the city wall, and there was a moment of clattering. The sound of bones rubbing against each other covered all sounds, including the chattering teeth of the defenders of the city wall and the shaking of Soso's trembling body.

Fear and fear are not important. The defender's heartfelt refusal did not change the direction of the skeleton soldiers. The arrows fired and the roar of the artillery did not do the same. The white sea of ​​skeletons was accompanied by falling snowflakes. , moving forward, trying to cover everything.

The war started. Unexpectedly, the huge frontier army of the empire fell into a disadvantage when they came up. Even if the knights and mages were dispatched, they did not regain the disadvantage. The army of the barbarian kingdom was really too much.

First, there is almost no cost to attack the sea of ​​skeletons, and when the defenders' physical strength is almost exhausted, the frost giant who throws a thick ice spear, the dragon man who swoops down and can turn people into pieces, the demon warlock who is good at summoning, and the flesh and blood cultist who likes the distortion of flesh and blood , became a sharp axe, and easily split the defense line of the city wall completely, and then the brave barbarian warriors rushed up to tear the defense line completely, and successfully won the victory.

What's even more frightening is that the barbarian kingdom's army does not need prisoners, only continuous blood sacrifices, and through blood sacrifices, they can easily obtain more skeleton soldiers as supplements, and at the same time, the shaman who has been transferred to the death priest has also become stronger.

Although the whole process was cruel but efficient, even the imperial frontier army with a defensive advantage was powerless to resist, so they could only delay time through layer upon layer of defense.
