Chapter 983: Chapter 984 Attack_1

Chapter 983 -984 Attack_1

The dark rolling clouds and rumble of thunder in the sky guided Song Jian, who ignored the winding roads and headed straight for the necromancer’s castle.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a desolate wilderness; a magnificent city appeared before their eyes.

“A level three castle… I didn’t expect it to have advanced to level three already…” Catherine said somewhat absentmindedly as she looked at the iconic building, the City Lord Mansion, with a complex expression.

“Level three?” Song Jian thought of his own castle. The City Lord Mansion had not yet finished upgrading, and many buildings had not been constructed due to a lack of resources. His castle, which was not quite level one but definitely better than level zero, could be considered an almost level one castle.

“After capturing this castle, maybe I can use it as my main city…” Song Jian thought contemplatively.

“If you’re planning to become an undead lord, that’s not a bad choice!” Catherine said bluntly, “This castle is filled with the Force of Death. Ordinary people can’t stay in there for long before they turn into undead creatures. All the buildings within are constructed to enhance the strength of undead troops. Do you really think you could lead an army composed entirely of undead soldiers? How long do you think you can command them before a complete mutiny?”

Song Jian suddenly fell silent. To the people of this world, this knowledge was common sense, but for an outsider like Song Jian, he was unaware of it—even in the City Lord Mansion, it was impossible for him to be briefed on every single piece of information thoroughly.

“Well, that’s a pity…” Song Jian shook his head and said.

“If you could capture the lord of this place, maybe you could make him a hero under your command. Then it would be no problem for him to continue to lead this castle,” Catherine suggested.

“Oh, that’s a good idea!” Song Jian’s eyes lit up.

Catherine looked at Song Jian and was momentarily speechless. Leading a team whose main forces were composed of first- and second-level troops, not only did he foolishly dream of seizing a level three city, but he also wanted to capture a necromancer lord to become a hero under his command. To Catherine, this was pure madness.

“I must be crazy too, to have followed you here!” Catherine murmured under her breath, while she reached into her bosom and moved a scroll to the most accessible position to ensure that if necessary, she could take it out in the shortest possible time.

It was a Teleportation Scroll, capable of teleporting all of one’s allies to a previously set safe location during battle. This was her biggest trump card and assurance for daring to follow Song Jian here.

On the wilderness, a squad consisting of several dozen spearmen and archers, three griffins, and seven or eight crusader warriors, led by a female knight hero, charged with suicidal courage toward the level three City of the Undead, shrouded in the Force of Death.

As for Song Jian, he rode a mutated unicorn, appearing like a carefree traveler, constantly surveying his surroundings.

The closer they got to the City of the Undead, the more abundant the Force of Death became. Ordinary humans felt uncomfortable in such an environment. If it weren’t for Catherine’s possession of a lucky gem, it’s likely that morale would have plummeted at least three or four points along the way.

Morale could reach up to twelve points; surpassing ten points would result in exuberant spirits, maintaining high skill trigger rates and damage. If morale fell below six points, soldiers would be dispirited and their skill trigger rates would be very low, with increased chances of attacking errors. Should morale plummet below three points, the soldiers would be highly prone to fleeing in battle.

Therefore, while the lucky gem was only a treasure of rare quality, to the lords of this world, its effect was even more useful than some low-grade artifacts.

Catherine led her troops to a halt 800 meters from the City of the Undead. This distance was not ideal for a siege, but it was suitable for a retreat.

“The enemy has at least three hundred skeleton warriors, over a hundred ghosts, fifty vampires, and more than ten necromancers…” Catherine took out a monocular telescope and carefully observed the walls of the City of the Undead: “The wall is equipped with three automatic crossbow Arrow Towers and two necromancer shooting platforms!”

After putting down the telescope, Catherine turned her head, and with a blank expression, said to Song Jian, “Just three automatic crossbow Arrow Towers and two necromancer shooting platforms alone could kill our entire army under the walls!”

“It doesn’t matter; you just need to launch the attack. By then, your name will spread throughout the human world!” Song Jian revealed a confident smile to Catherine.

“Or it could be the image of a fool who overestimates his own abilities that gets spread everywhere!” Catherine rolled her eyes and retorted.

Song Jian did not wish to explain anything, but simply smiled lightly and said, “Attack.”

Catherine took a deep breath, drew her long sword, and, using all her strength, shouted towards the thunderous City of the Undead, “Soldiers, attack!”

“Kill, kill, kill!”

The morale of the human soldiers was high, as they let out roars, and even the three griffins flapped their wings and screeched.

The troops slowly started moving forward, beginning their charge towards the City of the Undead, eight hundred meters away. Song Jian moved even faster than them. Flame Light Wings emerged behind him, and like a bolt of lightning, he flew off the back of the mutated unicorn.

Catherine, seeing the dancing Flame Light Wings behind Song Jian, revealed a look of surprise and murmured to herself, “Is this…the wings of a high-ranking archangel?”

Angels are the seventh-tier troop type of the human race and are among the strongest beings. However, according to legends, above the angels, humans also have the eighth-tier troop type known as high-ranking archangels.

Many lords believe that high-ranking archangels are the evolved form of the angel troop type, but many human lords possessing angel troops, after leveling their angels to the top tier and evolving them into archangels, find that while these angels become greatly strengthened, they still do not break through the seventh tier to reach the eighth.

The most noticeable feature is that angel troop types have white wings, but after evolving into archangels, their wings turn pale gold.

But the legendary high-ranking archangels have wings like rainbows of light, just like the wings behind Song Jian at this moment.

Song Jian was unaware of the great shock his Flame Light Wings caused to Catherine. In mid-air, he had already entered the warning range of the City of the Undead more quickly than the human army.

The three Arrow Towers and two necromancer shooting platforms had already locked onto Song Jian in mid-air, and the crossbow bolts, gleaming coldly, made a “thud, thud, thud” sound as they shot towards him;

On the necromancer shooting platforms, the two necromancers’ hands emitted dense green Death Clouds that also flew toward Song Jian, enveloping a large area in front, behind, and to the sides of his position.
