[One more chapter, four chapters tomorrow. This is the last two weeks of the year. This is the first time I'm seriously asking for votes. Let me have a better result at the end of the year. Seeing the comments section saying that I'm not asking for votes makes me cry. I really need it …]
The Vatican had a divine spell that could resurrect bones. The Winged Skeleton said that he wanted this Elemental Magic Shooter dead. With a swing of the giant axe, the Magic Shooter's head was already in his hand. The Winged Skeleton held the Magic Shooter's head and turned to look. He saw that Tris was still using his limbs and tail to hit the level-4 Mages.
A clumsy but effective attack!
Under Tris' violent attack, the five Mages' organs were ruptured. The elemental Ice Pattern Armor was still there, but the people inside were no longer breathing.
Qin Yin's soldiers were aghast. They saw the eight-meter-tall giant demon swinging the bodies of the Mages, creating hundreds of craters on the ground. Everywhere it passed was a mess.
The Magic Shooter's body behind the Winged Skeleton emitted green smoke. It started corroding from the neck and turned into a puddle of blood. Even if Pope Dinicio came, he wouldn't be able to save this Mage.
Only when the body melted and the soul was shattered could he be considered truly dead.
"Tris, let's go!" The Winged Skeleton shouted. He tucked the Magic Shooter's head on his waist and rushed to Trish's side. He grabbed Trish's tail and shook off the Great Mage that was wrapped around Trish's tail. Then, he chopped down with his axe.
The Ice Pattern Armor that was already full of cracks was cut open by the giant axe. The Mage inside was split into two.
Tris' eyes were bloodshot. His giant tail was about to wrap around the Winged Skeleton's body. The Winged Skeleton opened his mouth and shouted again. This time, Tris' body shook and regained some consciousness. He looked around and saw that the giant chariots in the distance had turned around and surrounded him.
He couldn't fly. Being surrounded by these chariots and being shot by arrows, he would definitely be heavily injured. He might even die here. Qin Yin's Alchemy Crossbow was extremely lethal. Tris immediately dropped the four dead Mages and slowly shrunk his body.
Tris didn't forget to pounce on the Battalion General. He picked up the whip and stomped on the Battalion General's head. The Battalion General died an unjust death. If he had dodged directly, he would not have been seriously injured without using his long sword to knock Trish's whip.
Seeing that Trish's body had shrunk, the Winged Skeleton spread its bone wings, grabbed the belt on Trish's Demon God Armor, and flew into the sky. Qin Yin's soldiers surged forward again. The surrounding Alchemy Crossbows could not adjust their angles in time, so they could only shoot randomly. No Mage could lock onto the Wing Skeleton and Trish.
The giant alchemy arrow brushed past the Wing Skeleton's body, creating a crack in its armor. The Winged Skeleton secretly felt lucky. If there was a Great Magician controlling these alchemy crossbows, it would probably have to escape with a few holes in it. He might not die, but he would definitely delay Salin's plans.
The Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was still with him, and the battle off the sea almost depended on his undead subordinates. Kushui Prefecture was located inland, and Rex didn't have many sailors he could use.
The Winged Skeleton rose into the air, carrying Trish with it. Its speed did not decrease at all, and the few people hidden in Qin Yin's army could do nothing about it. Twenty thousand people was the size of a main force. There were bound to be some experts among them.
However, there would not be more than two who could fly, and the rest could not catch up with the Winged Skeleton.
The army could not surround experts who could fly, unless there were a large number of small Alchemy Crossbows to suppress them at close range. The Alchemy Crossbows on the chariots were powerful enough to destroy a normal city wall, but they could not aim at a small dot in the sky.
The Winged Skeleton flew extremely high, almost a thousand meters, and drew an arc in the air, heading straight for the city tower.
Beheading the Magic Shooter. This time, the action was unusually fast. The Winged Skeleton returned to the top of the city wall with the Magic Shooter's head. Mu En came back to his senses, and under the control of the Winged Skeleton, he shouted to the people below the city wall.
"You all! Madmen! The commander has been beheaded, retreat now! " As he spoke, Mu En threw the head that the Winged Skeleton had given him into the sky. The Magic Shooter's head floated in the air, transforming into a huge shadow, and started screaming in pain.
"Master Mu En, spare me! I won't dare to do it again … "
"Master, please forgive me, please forgive me!!!"
Six or seven different voices shouted at the same time. The soldiers below the city wall, who were still trying to enter the city, heard their commander and the sorrowful cries of the Magicians who were usually high above them.
At this time, the Qinyin army in the distance also blew the horn to retreat.
After losing so many Magicians, the battle could no longer continue. If they did not retreat, the remaining soldiers would also die outside this town.
With a rumble, the earth trembled, and a huge sand pit appeared near the city wall. The metal battering ram had also sunk in. The soldiers outside the city had already lost their minds. The battering ram was destroyed, and the soldiers outside heard the horn to retreat and turned around to escape. The battle at the top of the city wall was not fierce. Very few soldiers climbed over the city wall, and they were all stabbed and captured by the revenants and the Bitterwater Prefectural Kingdom's soldiers.
This time, Salin did not give the order to massacre. The target of this battle was the Qinyin people, and Salin had to consider the Qinyin Empire's feelings. Killing the commander was enough. These ordinary soldiers, if the enemy did not ransom them, could be incorporated into the army as auxiliary soldiers. Those who obtained military merits could even become regular soldiers.
This had been the way things had been on the continent for more than a thousand years, and Salin did not want to change anything completely.
The city gate was sealed by the Ground Trap Spell, and the thousand or so soldiers who entered the city were now surrounded. Only then did the number of revenants increase.
The people in the city could also hear the horn to retreat. The city gate was sealed, and the huge rocks fell. These soldiers could not resist, so they all threw down their weapons and squatted on the ground. If the enemy was the Tanggulas people, these soldiers would fight to the death and fight to the end. However, the enemy was Rex's ally. At this point in the battle, the soldiers' morale was completely worn down, and they could only surrender.
Presumably, the enemy would not carry out a massacre in Rex's territory.
The skeleton soldiers came to the side of the Qinyin soldiers and took away their weapons one by one. At this time, Earl Bessita's bodyguards appeared and took off their armor. On the other side, the new soldiers in the town took out long clothes from the warehouse and distributed them to the surrendered soldiers.
The surrendered soldiers were finally relieved. After they took off their armor, the clothes inside seemed thin in the autumn wind. If no one gave them clothes, it meant that they would meet a tragic end.
Seeing that the battle was over, the Winged Skeleton reached out and called back the floating human head. He still had use for this human head. The head of a Magic Shooter was a natural material for refining weapons, and it was very useful for Necromancers. Because Magic Shooters had strong mental strength, their skulls had already mutated, and were suitable for storing some mental spells or spells to control the undead.
The Winged Skeleton fished up a lot of magical beast bones from the sea, but the number of human skulls was too small. There were a few powerful human skulls that the Winged Skeleton did not have the ability to refine yet. The fresh head of a Magic Shooter was perfect for the Winged Skeleton to practice Necromancy Alchemy. After it was made into a magic staff, it could store more than six Necromancy spells, which was far more powerful than any magic staff made from any other material.
Tris was a little dispirited and directly returned to Salin's side. Although he was not an undead creature or a dark creature, the hundreds of tiny light arrows had caused considerable damage to his body.
Human magic was unpredictable, and it was impossible to kill a level-seven Magic Shooter without paying a price. Tris had yet to think of a way to deal with the huge light spear, and it seemed that he could only rely on his own strength to resist it.
"Your Highness, what should we do with these 1300 surrendered soldiers?" Earl Bessita was in a dilemma. Asking him to guard these people was not only costly, but there was also a lack of manpower. The quality of these 1300 surrendered soldiers was much higher than that of the new soldiers in the town. If anything happened, he would not be able to suppress them.
Salin personally came to the small square, and after a simple look, he said, "They are all good soldiers. Hmm, I will bring them to Great Liang City. Rex will have a way to deal with them. Write a letter to Great Liang City and tell them that I will arrive in five days.
Salin was not in a hurry to leave at this time. There were still more than ten days until the end of the month. Even if he arrived in five days, he could still make it.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Bessita saw that Salin had helped him solve the problem of these surrendered soldiers, and was relieved.
Putting aside the aftermath of the battle in the city, Salin returned to his room and called Tris in. "Tris, I heard that your injuries are not light?"
"It's all because of that fellow Bing …" Tris could not help but complain. The Winged Skeleton's bet with him was simply a trap. Letting his huge body attract the enemy's strongest attack, while the Winged Skeleton took advantage of the situation.
Salin smiled, and had no intention of persuading Tris. The Winged Skeleton was the most loyal subordinate, and it did a good job this time. It directly killed the opponent's Magic Shooter, and even escaped unscathed. It was not left behind by the hidden experts in the army, nor was it injured by the Alchemy Crossbow. Using a few minutes of battle to destroy the enemy's attack, such an ability represented the Winged Skeleton's intelligence. As for letting Tris be the scapegoat, this was also the right thing to do. After all, the Winged Skeleton did not give up on Tris at the last moment, and brought him back.
"Give me your treatment, Tris."
Tris helplessly laid on the ground, and revealed his demon body. Fortunately, Salin's room was big enough, and Tris was not uncomfortable on the ground. His wings were spread out, and there were thousands of holes on them. Salin took out a magic fluid and dripped it on the wounds.
The healing of a Mage was not inferior to that of a Mage. Under Salin's control, the magic fluid seeped into the wounds, and was quickly absorbed by Tris. Salin used the magic fluid to heal, and at the same time, he used the Spring Rain spell to catalyze Tris's shrinking wounds, and only then did they truly heal.
"It's a pity that Teacher is not here, and I am only a Level Six Mage. If not, you would have recovered immediately, and don't fly for now." Salin finished treating all the wounds, and gestured for Tris to get up.
"Tris, what Bing did was not wrong, and it was not without benefits for you. Now you should understand the difference between you and a human Magic Shooter, right?" Salin finished treating Tris's wounds, and then told him about the Winged Skeleton's method.
Trish didn't get angry. Instead, she seriously thought for a moment before saying, "I understand. If I had to face a 7th Rank High Mage by myself, I would be able to kill him, but I would most likely die, or … only be seriously injured. If I were to face more than two Level Seven Magic Shooters, I would definitely die. "
