Two days later, because the crevice was only so wide, it would not be appropriate to bring too many people down. As such, Zhao Fu only brought 10 Archers, 10 Shieldbearers, 10 Infantrymen, Bai Qi, and Old Logue down the stairs to the bottom of the crevice.
Now, their equipment was completely different. The Infantrymen's weapons were all iron sabers, and the Shieldbearers' shields were now covered with a thick layer of iron, greatly increasing their defense. The Archers' arrowheads had also been replaced with iron ones, and everyone wore leather armor.
Right now, Qin Village was unable to create iron armor, as there were many ways to make iron armor. They required blueprints, and they cost eight times more than normal weapons.
Bai Qi held a Blue grade sword, which was one of the weapons that he had obtained at the bottom of the crevice. After some simple repairs, he wore a Blue grade leather armor, which was the skin of the Violent Flame Rabbit that he had killed.
Zhao Fu stayed at the back and did not charge at the front, so he wore a Normal grade leather armor. The Blue grade leather armor was more suitable for Bai Qi.
Afterwards, the group of people raised their torches and went to the bottom of the crevice. Bai Qi and the Shieldbearers were at the front, followed by the Infantrymen. Zhao Fu, Old Logue, and the Archers stood in the third row, acting as Mages.
As they slowly advanced, the heads of the five Skeletons at the front lit up with blue flames. They raised their weapons and rushed towards Zhao Fu's group. These five Skeletons were all Infantrymen, and they held sabers, swords, spears, and axes.
Seeing the five Skeleton Infantrymen rush over, Bai Qi and the Shieldbearers formed a wall and blocked the five Skeleton warriors. The five Skeleton Infantrymen instinctively swung their weapons and attacked the Shieldbearers, but they were all blocked by the Shieldbearers.
The Archers at the back took this opportunity to shoot arrows. Archers dealt very little damage to the Skeleton Infantrymen, and unless they hit their heads, they would not be able to harm the Skeleton Infantrymen at all. However, they could be used as support professions, hindering the Skeletons and creating opportunities for the Infantrymen to attack.
This time, Bai Qi and Old Logue didn't do much, and the five Skeleton Infantrymen were split apart by the Shieldbearers. The Archers shot arrows at the Skeletons, causing them to pause for a moment. Following this, the Shieldbearers slashed at the Skeletons, forcing them back a few steps and causing them to lose their balance. The Skeletons then moved out of the way, allowing the Infantrymen to follow up with their attacks.
After this happened three or four times, the Skeleton Infantrymen turned into piles of bones. After all, the Skeletons relied on their soul energy to move, and if they ran out of soul energy, they would naturally die. This time, the five Skeleton Infantrymen had dropped three Refined Martial Souls and five weapons.
This time, there were 6 Skeleton Infantrymen and 2 Skeleton Archers.
The 6 Skeleton Infantrymen raised their weapons and raised their skeletal legs without any hesitation as they charged towards Zhao Fu's group. The 2 Skeleton Archers behind them took out an arrow from their quiver and drew their rusty bows.
Xiu! Xiu!
Two air-piercing sounds rang out as two arrows drew two arcs in the air, flying towards Zhao Fu's group.
Seeing this, the Shieldbearers hurriedly raised their shields and blocked the two arrows. However, the 6 Skeleton Infantrymen were about to reach them, and if the Skeleton Archers continued to shoot, they would completely disrupt Zhao Fu's group's rhythm. Moreover, if they were caught off guard, they would be shot by the Skeleton Archers, resulting in casualties.
Zhao Fu immediately said, "Old Logue, attack!"
Old Logue obeyed and raised his wooden staff, shooting out two blood-red fireballs that blew away the 6 Skeleton Infantrymen.
Zhao Fu then yelled, "Archers, fire! Suppress those 2 Skeleton Archers!"
The Archers also drew their bows and arrows shot towards the Skeleton Archers, interrupting the Skeleton Archers who were about to shoot again.
Zhao Fu once again yelled, "Bai Qi, charge over; I'll leave those 2 Skeleton Archers to you."
Bai Qi obeyed and leapt over the 6 Skeleton Infantrymen that had been blown away and rushed towards the 2 Skeleton Archers.
By now, the 6 Skeleton Infantrymen were slowly climbing up from the ground, and Zhao Fu hurriedly said, "Shieldbearers, go up and split them up. Split them up and attack them like we did last time! "
Zhao Fu gave out a string of orders, and everyone quickly carried them out. The Shieldbearers and Infantrymen split into 6 teams and split up the 6 Skeleton Infantrymen, while the 10 Archers drew their bows and looked for opportunities to shoot. At the front, Bai Qi had already rushed in front of the 2 Skeleton Archers and slashed out with his sword.
The situation of the battle was now under control, and it was slowly turning in Zhao Fu's favor.
Old Logue raised his head and looked at Zhao Fu, who was earnestly watching the battle. Even though he had been Zhao Fu's enemy before, he felt quite afraid, and he felt that Zhao Fu was incredibly calm and quick-witted in the face of trouble.
In just an instant, he had come up with a detailed strategy and given out a string of orders, turning the situation around. Losing to him was not a loss, and Old Logue's loyalty towards Zhao Fu increased by a bit.
Now that both sides were fighting at close range, Zhao Fu and Old Logue could not act, so they could only watch from the side.
The first to succeed was Bai Qi. He sliced off the head of a Skeleton Archer with a single strike, and he then slashed out with his sword, sending the other Skeleton Archer flying. The Skeleton Archer heavily slammed into a wall, and its body immediately fell apart.
As for the Skeleton Infantrymen, they worked together like last time, dealing with the Skeleton Infantrymen one by one.
This time, they obtained 10 weapons: 8 of them were Blue grade, and 2 of them were White grade. They were the short swords that the Skeleton Archers used. They had also obtained 5 Refined Martial Souls.
After resting for a while, everyone continued onwards.
By now, the passageway was completely dark, and it seemed as if there was no end to it. It was deathly silent, and everyone was on guard.
At that moment, the sound of Skeletons reviving could be heard from ahead. There were 12 Skeletons this time, and 11 of them were saber-wielding Skeleton Warriors. The last one had a large saber at its waist and was wearing armor. Its name was [Skeleton Captain].
The situation immediately became quite bad.
"Roarrr!!"
The Skeleton Captain drew its saber and roared, causing formless soundwaves to ripple out.
Following this, the Skeleton Captain charged forwards, and the Skeleton Warriors behind it did not seem clumsy or disorderly at all. They followed behind the Skeleton Captain like a group of living soldiers, giving off an aura of bravery as they charged forwards.
"Is this the effect of the Skeleton Captain?"
Zhao Fu thought to himself before yelling, "Get into formation!"
The soldiers' expressions became serious as they obeyed. The Shieldbearers formed a line with the Infantrymen at the front, and the Archers at the back.
"Fire!"
The Archers obeyed Zhao Fu's orders, and arrows flew out, reaching the Skeleton Warriors in the blink of an eye. The Skeleton Captain swung its saber, and a saber light flashed, sending 5 or 6 arrows flying.
At that moment, Zhao Fu yelled, "Old Logue, fire!"
Old Logue had been prepared for a long time. He raised his wooden staff and used all of his strength, and the two blood-red fireballs above his head became twice as large as before.
Old Logue waved his wooden staff, and the two blood-red fireballs shot out.
Seeing the two blood-red fireballs fly towards it, the Skeleton Captain did not seem afraid at all. It gripped its saber, and a gray light spread out from its blade. Just as the Skeleton Captain was about to swing its saber and slash at the two fireballs …
At that moment, Zhao Fu coldly harrumphed. He had already drawn his Ironwood Bow, and a mysterious yellow aura rose from the arrow as he released the bowstring.
