Chapter 407 Spell Turret, the Allure of the Necromancer!
One can imagine that if this were a group of low-level monsters with low morale, such as goblins or kobolds, the front-line troops would probably have already triggered a chain reaction of fear, leading to the collapse of the entire army.
But here, the discipline and fighting power of the undead army are on full display.
Just as the mutated filth was locked in battle with the undead army, Ark's voice came from behind.
"Olaf, hold them off!"
Olaf, wielding two skeletal axes, responded to the challenge.
"Bone Armor!"
A faint blue light flashed, and Olaf was instantly enveloped in a layer of gray death energy.
This layer of armor not only enhanced his defense but also made him appear even more imposing and extraordinary.
Just then, four mutated filth creatures rushed forward with red eyes.
They let out low growls, their eyes filled with a frenzied killing intent.
A dozen or so battle axes, gleaming with a cold light, were swung at once, each swing carrying immense power, as if to smash the enemy before them into a pulp.
But when these battle axes struck Olaf, they produced a series of metallic clanging sounds.
Ye Yinzhu had already prepared for a rescue, but the scene before him made his eyes widen in disbelief: "Holy crap, is this real? How come it doesn't break my defenses at all?"
As Ye Yinzhu said, although more than a dozen battle axes made Olaf's body rattle all over, he could clearly see that these attacks did not penetrate his defenses at all.
As an evil creation of the Lava Demon after its fall, the Aberrant Filth's attack power is beyond doubt.
However, looking at the scene with such a stark visual contrast, if Ye Yinzhu hadn't learned well in the Abyss Monster Encyclopedia class, he would have almost mistaken them for weaklings.
However, it now seems that it wasn't that the mutated filth was too weak, but rather that the undead creature summoned by the Ark was far too strong defensively, and there was no need to provide them with any assistance.
Ark, having also noticed this, smiled with satisfaction.
"Gu Yueyuan, Liu Diewu, Zhang Wu, do not stop the attack."
Ye Yinzhu, think of a way to delay the lava demons behind you.
Let's kill all these mutated filth first!
Olaf, as a berserker hero, was tentatively summoned by Ark from the zombies this time.
Therefore, he not only inherited the tough and resilient nature of zombies, but also retained his original berserker fighting instincts.
Olaf's innate invulnerability skill tree makes him virtually invincible against enemy attacks.
In addition, the series of auxiliary skills used by Fang Zhou and other students from Haicheng Military Academy further enhanced his defensive capabilities.
These skills not only enhance Olaf's physical defense, but also increase his resistance to various negative status effects.
Therefore, even the fierce attacks of the mutated filth posed no real threat to Olaf.
Because they have multiple arms, their attack frequency is quite good, but their attack power is not as terrifying as one might imagine.
Even the mutated filth itself felt helpless; its roars were filled with anger and resentment.
"Despicable humans, vile undead!"
With a gunshot, the Lava Demon leader, wielding an enchanted weapon, killed another Skeleton Warrior with a single blow. However, this did not pose much of a threat to the students of the Sea City Military Academy.
Because the Ark's undead army formed a tight protective net, the Lava Demon leader's shooting line of sight was completely blocked, making it impossible for him to inflict effective damage on the Ark and its allies.
He could only vent his frustration and anger by taking out his precious ammunition on the skeletons and zombies, and each shot made him more impatient and angry.
After confirming that he was safe, Ye Yinzhu burst into laughter: "What, you shorty, do you think you're powerful just because you have horns on your face?"
"Didn't we take care of your men?"
Since the mutated filth has no brains at all, they continued to attack Olaf relentlessly, even though their attacks were completely ineffective.
The monsters' attacks appeared chaotic; they simply swung their weapons mechanically, attempting to break through Olaf's defenses.
However, all this is in vain.
Olaf wielded his skeletal double axes, each swing striking the mutated filth precisely to its vital points, slaying them one by one.
His movements were clean and efficient, without any hesitation, demonstrating the demeanor of a top-notch warrior.
As time went on, the number of deformed filth gradually decreased, and their attacks gradually weakened.
Because the distance wasn't close, by the time the lava demon wielding the enchanted gun realized something was wrong, all the mutated filth had already turned into corpses on the ground.
The lava demon was instantly enraged. He roared, "You damned human scum, I'll kill you!"
Then, he ordered the lava demon warriors, who were arrayed in formation, "Kill them! We don't need prisoners this time!"
The extra fangs on the faces of the lava demon warriors gleamed with a fierce light.
They responded in unison, and one by one, with slow but firm steps, they rushed towards Fang Zhou and the others. Although their movement speed was slow, the distance was only about a hundred meters, so it wouldn't take long.
These lava demon warriors are different from the mutated filth that was killed before.
They are all lower-tier units in the Black Iron rank, well-equipped, and excellent in both offense and defense, practically like humanoid mini-tanks.
They wore heavy metal armor and wielded huge two-handed battle axes or indestructible shields; each of them looked imposing.
Most importantly, they know how to cooperate. The Lava Demon with the shield not only protects itself, but also helps the Lava Demon behind it who is wielding a two-handed battle axe to block arrows.
Their shields, made of pure metal, were clearly far more effective at defense than the shields used by the giant skeleton warriors.
It not only improved defense but also significantly increased the parry rate.
Apart from the Ark, the other skeleton archers can only deal extremely poor damage.
Most of their arrows were deflected when they struck the Lava Demon's shields and armor, and those that did manage to penetrate only left shallow marks on the armor.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yinzhu and the others all felt a sudden toothache.
All of them are Black Iron soldiers, and these are extremely defensive and impervious to both soft and hard attacks.
Without the unexpected arrival of Fang Zhou, this would definitely not be a task they could have taken on at this stage!
The lava demon in the distance, wielding an enchanted gun, burst into laughter.
He was confident of victory. He believed that when the soldiers actually reached the enemy, if these damned guys didn't run away, they would be facing a massacre.
These lava demon warriors are not mindless, mutated filth.
Even if they can't break that nasty mutated skeleton right away, they can choose to go around it!
The combined forces of humans and the undead were no match for his warriors.
However, this is just his opinion.
Ark quickly issued an order to Olaf to intercept him via telepathy.
Upon receiving the order, Olaf immediately wielded his skeletal twin axes and led his skeleton warriors and zombies to meet the enemy.
The lava monsters initially tried to go around them, but they soon discovered that Olaf was actually faster than them.
These lava monsters, though enormous, were clumsy and unable to flexibly counter Olaf's attacks.
Seeing this, Ye Yinzhu smacked his lips, a hint of eagerness flashing in his eyes, but in the end he didn't move.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but as a bard, his skills in singing and dancing were essentially used to boost morale and enhance the fighting power of the troops.
These skills have absolutely no effect on machines, undead, or elemental creatures.
The lava demons soon discovered that they could neither bypass the enemy in front of them nor ignore the enemy's existence.
With the aid of various magical effects, Olaf and the undead army were able to pose a threat to them and were even trying to break through their formation with their overwhelming power.
And this is precisely what they absolutely cannot accept.
Because they have short arms and legs and no ranged attacks, they rely on their formation!
Fang Zhou and Ye Yinzhu both smiled simultaneously.
So what if your defenses are strong?
With ranged units providing continuous damage from behind, we'll wear you down, even if it takes a lot of effort!
Seeing that he was already engaged in battle with the main force of the Lava Demons, Ark continued to cast spells and summoned another 40 Skeleton Warriors.
These newly summoned skeleton warriors quickly flanked from the side and then attacked the enemy's small square formation from both sides.
Although these dozen or so lava demons were as tough as iron turtles with weights on them, he believed that this would at least distract the opponent and indirectly reduce Olaf's pressure.
These newly summoned skeleton warriors quickly joined the battle, and their arrival further disrupted the lava demons' formation.
Olaf seized the opportunity to intensify his attacks, each swing becoming more powerful, gradually dismantling the Lava Demon's defenses.
The surrounding skeleton warriors and zombies also adjusted their formation, focusing their attention on the enemies wielding shields.
The skeleton archers also adjusted their firing angles, concentrating their firepower on the gaps and weak points in the shields.
At this moment, Gu Yueyuan seized the opportunity and directly commanded the swarm of insects to rush towards the only enemy in the camp.
His swarm of insects followed the same paths taken by the lava demons, so he didn't have to worry about the threat of traps.
The swarm of insects surged toward the camp like a black torrent, its target naturally the lava demon leader.
Despite everything seeming to be going smoothly, Ark has become increasingly vigilant.
The enemy had demonstrated intelligence that was in no way inferior to that of ordinary people, yet they showed no panic or fear whatsoever when faced with Gu Yueyuan's imminent surprise attack.
This indicates that the enemy must have other tricks up their sleeve!
An ominous premonition welled up in Fang Zhou's heart. He quickly looked around and his gaze fell back on the huge lava volcano.
What kind of surprise will the other party give him?
Could it be some kind of fire elemental creature?
However, let's deal with the enemy in front of us first!
So, Fangzhou decided to give it another push.
He took a deep breath and waved his hands rapidly in the air.
As the magical light flashed...
Poison Cloud Technique.
A rotting halo.
Corpse Explosion Technique.
Large amounts of colorless and odorless undead putrefaction emanated from the Ark's necromantic orbs, engulfing the once-proud lava demons.
The poisonous gas rapidly corroded their armor and skin, causing them excruciating pain, with coughs and screams echoing throughout.
Olaf, leading his elite skeletons and elite zombies enhanced by the Undead Crown, stood like gatekeepers, firmly blocking the enemy.
As the distance between them closed, joy gradually appeared on Gu Yueyuan's face.
Although his Zerg army was far inferior to Ark's in both quantity and quality, it was still enough to give a mere low-ranking Black Iron monster leader a run for his money.
Once the swarm of insects successfully gets close, coupled with the assistance of my own Hive Walker spellcasting, even if the opponent is very strong, there is absolutely no chance of survival!
However, in the next instant, Gu Yueyuan suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Because the other party not only showed no fear, but suddenly burst into laughter.
"Ha ha, my lord, let these pathetic scum taste the fruits of your latest research!"
The Lava Demon leader's voice was filled with fanaticism and confidence.
His gaze suddenly fell upon the raging lava volcano.
Ye Yinzhu and Fang Zhou and the others in the distance immediately focused their attention, preparing to meet the Lava Demon's next move.
They have eliminated the mutated filth and tied down the lava demon warriors who were forming a square formation.
Once we crack the opponent's pre-planned tactics, victory will ultimately belong to our side!
But to Ark's surprise, there was no response from inside the volcano, as if nothing had happened.
The lava demon was immediately filled with doubt and uncertainty, and he couldn't help but repeat his words loudly again.
This time, the volcano finally reacted.
First came an extremely faint sigh, like an ancient whisper from the abyss.
Immediately afterwards, the flames of the volcano surged up, as if ignited by some powerful force.
With a deafening roar, a gigantic monster engulfed in flames burst forth, flapping its enormous fins and instantly taking over the sky.
The monster was enormous, several meters tall, and its entire body was covered in raging flames.
Its two fins are broad and powerful, and each flap generates a strong heat wave that distorts the surrounding air.
Its body surface gleamed with a metallic sheen, clearly indicating that it had undergone some kind of enhancement and possessed extremely high defensive capabilities.
The head and feet show obvious signs of modification, indicating the Lava Demon's meticulous design.
With just a pounce, a slap, a sweep, and then a swallow.
The swarm of insects in Guyueyuan was reduced by more than half in an instant under its attack, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
The insects' antennae and claws burned rapidly in the flames, turning to ashes.
The insects that managed to escape also scattered in all directions as the monster pursued them.
