Under the Winged Skeleton's forbidden spell, the Cloud Flow people suffered a fatal blow. Night of the Undead? The blood rain covered the entire front line, which was more than three thousand meters wide. Under the blood rain, only the mages were still holding up magic shields to resist. At the edge of the blood rain, the soldiers in fully-enclosed armor stood there in a daze.
This spell was terrifying not only because of the powerful penetrative power and area of effect of the blood rain itself, but also because when the blood rain was formed, the mournful howls of the countless dead souls in the huge black vortex would also intimidate living beings.
Apart from Sword Saints and above, ordinary soldiers couldn't even move for a short period of time. They could only stand there and accept the blood rain's slaughter.
It was almost impossible to defend against this spell. Magic Shooters could protect an area of two to three hundred meters around them, Archmages could only protect a few dozen meters, and the low-level mages in white robes could only protect themselves.
The other soldiers were all turned into undead one by one. The blood rain lasted for half an hour. The blood clouds moved slowly in the air. Apart from the vanguard near the city wall, more than a hundred thousand people in the center of the Cloud Flow people were attacked by the blood rain.
The only flaw of the first half of the spell was that it was almost useless against mages.
Ordinary soldiers of lower levels were turned into sieves by the blood rain and didn't even have the chance to turn into undead. Only slightly stronger soldiers could ignite their soul fires in the blood rain.
After the Winged Skeleton finished this spell, the bone wall around him was also shattered by the blood rain. The huge blood drops had a penetrative power that surpassed any alchemy crossbow. This wasn't a physical attack, but a necromancy spell.
The blood clouds thinned, but the color of the sky didn't fade. The clear night sky was covered by a transparent red film. Moonlight penetrated the red film and sprinkled on the ground. The entire area covered by the spell emitted a thick smell of blood.
On top of the city wall, most of the people from Kushui Prefecture were dumbfounded. There were six hundred thousand Cloud Flow people attacking outside the city. Although most of them were in the rear and flanks, there were more than two hundred thousand on the front line. After several battles on top of the city wall, Liang City had only killed less than fifty thousand Cloud Flow people and injured less than a hundred thousand.
Great Liang City's losses were not small either. Other than the number of dead soldiers, the total number of casualties had already reached a third of the Yun Liu people.
The heavy cavalry and heavy magic infantry that rushed out of the city were also within the attack range of this Night of the Undead. The Winged Skeletons couldn't control the range of such a high-level spell. Fortunately, there were still a large number of Undead rushing out of the city. These Undead showed their advantage at this moment. They picked up the nearby soldiers and fled back into the city.
The people in the city were stunned for a moment before they quickly sent out more troops to rescue the soldiers affected by the Night of the Undead. Fortunately, this spell was cast far enough away that the howls of the undead near the city walls could no longer affect anyone.
A huge spell directly killed more than 100,000 people from the Cloud Flow tribe. In the end, more than seventy thousand undead were transformed from these one hundred thousand people. The surviving Mages and Sword Saints were among the undead.
The seventy thousand ghouls let out shrill cries at the same time after the blood rain stopped. They no longer had vocal cords, so they didn't need to breathe. These sounds seemed to be the sound of their skulls shattering.
When the Winged Skeletons saw that the spell was finally completed and all the newborn Undead began to have battle awareness and distinguish between friend and foe, it unhesitatingly spread its dark golden wings and flew in the direction of the Castle of Bones.
"Wait for me!" The mechanical undead doppelganger quickly changed shape and turned into a triangular metal sheet. It flew into the air and chased in the direction that the Winged Skeletons had left.
There was a reason why the Winged Skeletons had fled. If it continued to stay here, it wouldn't be able to kill many enemies. But if that level-nine Magic Shooter appeared among the enemies, it wouldn't have a chance to escape.
The Winged Skeletons had been defeated once and destroyed all its equipment. Now that it was fighting with its own abilities, it was even less of a match for that level-nine Magic Shooter.
When the mechanical undead doppelganger saw the Winged Skeletons fleeing for its life, it didn't dare to linger on the battlefield. It knew what the Winged Skeletons were afraid of. Without the Undead Magic Tower, the Winged Skeletons couldn't fight against that level-nine Magic Shooter. The Winged Skeletons didn't dare to fight against the Magic Shooter, nor did the mechanical undead doppelganger. Unless it grew to surpass the Monarch level, its ability to escape was inferior to the Winged Skeletons on this continent.
This time, the Winged Skeletons simply abandoned the Undead it had brought with it. It didn't know how long that level-nine Magic Shooter would take to rush over. If the Winged Skeletons knew, it would definitely stay on the battlefield and decide the outcome in one battle.
That level-nine Magic Shooter was regretting destroying Rex's palace and already had the intention to return to Cloud Flow City to hide.
There were still close to 400,000 people in the attacking forces outside the city, but among these 400,000 people, less than half were soldiers. There were also some soldiers in charge of large equipment and raising magical beasts. What they had to face now was 70,000 Undead.
The red in the sky was getting lighter and lighter, and the voices of the Undead echoed throughout the entire battlefield. At this time, Great Liang City was preparing to go out to battle again. The two battalions guarding the western city wall were quickly mobilized. Now, there was no need to worry about the Cloud Flow people splitting up to attack. The Cloud Flow people had already lost their best opportunity.
The tragedy for the Cloud Flow people was that they actually didn't arrange magic chariots in the center of the main battlefield. Even if there were three to five magic chariots and ten Great Mages, it wouldn't be easy for the Winged Skeletons to complete the forbidden magic. The Winged Skeletons couldn't even finish chanting the incantation.
There were no fluctuations of emotion in the Winged Skeletons' pitch-black eyes. Now, its soul fire had completely turned black. The mechanical undead doppelganger following behind it complained all the way. It changed its shape several times, but it still couldn't catch up with the Winged Skeletons' speed.
The level-nine Magic Shooter was in the Distant Sea Barracks. The Cloud Flow people outside Great Liang City had already lost their will to fight. The surrounding troops didn't even know what had happened.
After the first deserter appeared, the Cloud Flow people's defeat was like water bursting out of a dam.
When the troops in Great Liang City finished mobilizing and rushed out of the city, they only saw the shadows of the Cloud Flow people in the distance. Most of the corpses left behind were made by the 70,000 undead, but many were the result of the Cloud Flow people trampling on each other.
The Cloud Flow people only had a hundred thousand elite soldiers. Most of them were concentrated in the front, the position closest to the Winged Skeletons' magic. The blood rain killed the most elite part of the Cloud Flow army.
Looking at the tragic scene caused by the Winged Skeletons, Rex's desire for revenge faded a lot.
Now, Rex thought that if the level-nine Magic Shooter of the Cloud Flow people could deal with it, then the barracks that the Cloud Flow people had set up along the coast could be broken.
The Cloud Flow people fled in panic. At this time, something happened that made the people of Great Liang City not know whether to laugh or cry. Some of the Cloud Flow people lost their way and actually turned to the west of Great Liang City. They could actually escape in the opposite direction. The two barracks of Great Liang City were already outside the city and directly captured these nearly ten thousand Cloud Flow people.
The Cloud Flow people, who were being chased by the undead, fled all the way to the Distant Sea. For the Cloud Flow people, only the water was the safest. There were still Magic Shooters in the barracks along the coast.
After chasing for dozens of miles, the soldiers of Great Liang City retreated. Rex did not allow them to go too far away from the city. Although the Winged Skeletons' method completely destroyed the Cloud Flow people's attack, it also created a bad precedent, which was to use powerful area of effect magic to kill ordinary people in war.
Basically, there would be no law to punish Mages for killing people. However, if they killed a large number of ordinary people, Alchemy City would come out to clean up such Mages. Because such Mages would not only make ordinary people fear them, but also hate them. The status of Mages in Qin Yin was not obtained through power.
Of course, this was just a superficial statement. In reality, Alchemy City did this to maintain their authority. Even if they were not Alchemy City's Mages, they still had to abide by their rules. Otherwise, Alchemy City would send out a large number of Magic Shooters, which would be enough to kill any Mage who dared to go against Alchemy City.
Fortunately, Salin and Alchemy City had almost completely fallen out. Did that Huo Jinna send the news back?
The undead chased the Cloud Flow people all the way to the new city near the coast. The defeated army startled the Magic Shooter who was about to rest. The Magic Shooter didn't know what had happened. He flew into the air and saw the defeated army all over the wilderness. He couldn't believe his eyes.
His havoc in the city had already caused the morale of Daliang City to plummet to the lowest point. Why was it his army that had been defeated?
Could it be that Daliang City was hiding a powerful Mage? Or was there a new Mage joining the ranks? No, Rex had given the Seal of the Six-Winged Snake to Salin. This thing seemed to be able to command the hidden power of the Glücos family.
Could it be that Qin Yin's Mages had appeared?
The Ninth-level Magic Shooter panicked at the thought of the power of the House of Glücos. He didn't even go to support the defeated troops outside the city. Instead, he simply returned to the camp and informed the remaining Eighth-level Magic Shooter before hurriedly flying towards the sea.
Beyond the sea was Cloud Flow.
The Magic Shooter didn't want to stay any longer. He was afraid that this was a trap set by the Glücos family for him to jump into. Had the fact that he had a magic amplification device been exposed? Once Alchemy City knew that he had such a thing, they would probably want it at all costs!
Rex would never have imagined that the aggressive Magic Shooter who dared to destroy his palace would actually escape! If she had known this outcome, she would definitely have taken advantage of the new victory to flatten all of Cloud Flow's camps and destroy the warships at the sea.
The Winged Skeleton was also in a state of shock. If he wasn't worried about Salin, he definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative to attack. He flew all the way back to the Bone Castle and immediately hid in the Magic Tower, not daring to come out again. Wouldn't that Magic Shooter go crazy after killing so many enemies?
The attack that the people of Cloud Flow had planned for more than half a year had come to an end just like that. When the sun rose, the undead scouts of the Bone Castle discovered that the people of Cloud Flow were building small ships to transport their soldiers away.
There was no other way. The Level-Nine Magic Shooter had escaped, and the remaining Level-Eight Magic Shooter was no longer able to take charge of the situation. Although there was a general in the army, without a Level-Nine powerhouse to hold the fort, the people of Cloud Flow couldn't feel at ease.
Rex was filled with regret as he read the report. When she fought with the people of Cloud Flow, she saw that their soldiers were very brave. She thought that the legends about the people of Cloud Flow were all made up and that it was just a habit of ridiculing them. But now, Rex finally believed that Cloud Flow had the worst army in the entire continent.
