Chapter 1105: Chapter 1105

"Here they come, the Sandpeople are charging over," finally, new information arrived.

In a spare moment, Lin Yucha said, "Their formation is not very disciplined, it seems they are in a rush, which makes our skeleton army even more useful." Lin Yucha, whose consciousness was in the air, could see the situation over there.

It was just a pity that although her Brave Eagle’s Arrow had powerful impact, its force was explosive at a fixed point.

That is to say, although the Brave Eagle’s Arrow could break through successive attacks and defenses, it could only target one creature at a time, and could neither penetrate through multiple targets nor eliminate a series of enemies at once.

Less powerful enemies would be blasted to smithereens by the impact of the Brave Eagle’s Arrow, but it would not harm a second person.

Otherwise, Lin Yucha could have targeted some third and fourth-tier Sandpeople as well to instill greater fear in the enemy.

"That’s good, send the order down, prepare for a full battle. Just follow the original plan," Du You ordered directly, and Luo Jia’s side had already gotten busy. All the commanders began to mobilize their Demonic Flame Skeletons.

"Hmph, I could help too," Lin Yushi said discontentedly.

"Yes, yes, your abilities are stronger," Du You said with a smile, which was not merely to console her. His own Demonic Flame Skeletons were at most level 21, but Lin Yushi’s Demon Extermination Spirits were minus-10 levels.

Now at level 43, Lin Yushi’s highest possible Demon Extermination Spirits were level 33, as long as there were corpses of enemies of corresponding levels.

Thus, among the Demon Extermination Spirits created by Lin Yushi, there were a large number of third-tiers and some fourth-tiers, and with her proficiency in defense, they could hold back the enemy’s mid-level combat strength, preventing her skeleton army from appearing too weak.

As for fifth-tier soldiers, Du You had not dispatched any to the battlefield yet; that would have to wait for the upcoming battles. Fresh chapters posted on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝕟𝕖𝕥

In the distance, the large army slowly advanced, and no matter how hurried they were, the Sandpeople still slowed down to adjust their formation as they were about to make contact. The elites were indeed elite; even with little time, they adjusted their ranks very quickly. Unfortunately, they couldn’t use their underground combat tactics anymore.

With the Death Scorpion controlling the scene, only fourth-tier Sandpeople could burrow into the deeper ground, but their advancement would be slowed. In such a grand battle, having a few more fourth-tiers mixed in was useless.

The enemy was not a traditional army, but a large group of skeletons.

Another important point was that someone had already sneaked in before. But as soon as they emerged, they got stuck in the Devouring Swamp, and were rapidly corroded and killed, which made them even more cautious about passing underground.

On the surface, though it was dangerous, they could walk over the corpses of others. No matter how troublesome the Devouring Swamp was, as long as it was filled with enough corpses, they should be able to cross, right?

Not to mention, they also found that the skeletons were not afraid of the Devouring Swamp. With an abundance of dead skeletons, they could just walk over the bones.

In the sky, an arrow descended from the heavens, flying straight towards a Quicksand soldier. Kaya waved his Magic Staff, and a bloody red quicksand enveloped this Quicksand soldier. The arrow exploded against the quicksand shield, its force largely depleted, easily blocked by the Quicksand soldier’s Dou Qi shield, not killing him.

Although arrows kept falling, the Sandpeople still found some ways to counter them. For example, Kaya, he was the only one who could casually release a defensive spell that could block such attacks.

Those fifth-tier warriors of considerably lesser strength were the ones he was protecting. When attacked, releasing a defense spell was all it took. It wasn’t necessary to fully block the enemy’s attacks, just to weaken most of their force, and then let them fend for themselves. Yet, even so, there were times when Kaya was still too slow to cast a spell, resulting in some Quicksand soldiers being killed.

Moreover, continuously releasing defense spells meant that Kaya’s own Magic Power was depleting rapidly—no amount of potions could keep up.

On their way, they had already suffered more than thirty attacks. Twelve had died outright, five were severely injured and unable to join the battle, and two fifth-tier Sand Sculptures were injured, turning the air force into infantry.

"Kill for me," a Quicksand soldier yelled loudly, leading the main army in a charge. A large number of lower-grade Sandpeople Warriors were already in position, on the verge of making contact.

At that moment, Kaya narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly, "Follow my command, Sand Wave."

A group of priests, following earlier preparations, rapidly chanted incantations, and under Kaya’s direction, huge amounts of Quicksand gathered on the ground, suddenly forming a giant wave like a tsunami charging forth.

Before even making full contact, a large number of skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits were devoured.

"Do these people have no brains? What use is covering with sand? All of us cannon fodders are monsters."

"Strange, why can’t I control them anymore? Mage, check it quickly." They discovered that the skeletons buried by the Sand Wave underground were no longer under their control, unable to crawl out regardless of their commands.

A Mage shouted loudly, "Be careful, the sand contains special powers! All the buried skeletons are dead."

Following that, the Sand Wave did not consist of only one wave but one wave after another, avoiding the Sandpeople’s formation, pouncing into the skeleton army from around, and continuously reducing the number of the skeleton troops.

Fortunately, because the Demonic Flame Skeletons were so numerous, even continuous clearing couldn’t reduce them quickly.

"It won’t work. We can’t wait any longer. Let’s release them ahead of time," said Luo Jia, nodding his head, and at a command, countless skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits burst out from underground, mixing into the Sandpeople’s formation. At this time, the performance of the Sand People elites and the refugee soldiers was vastly different.

The team did not fall into disarray. As soon as enemies appeared, groups of Sand People Soldiers formed squads to engage the surrounding enemies. But these skeletons, mixed within, were not attacked by the Sand Wave.

Although it didn’t throw the enemy’s formation into complete chaos, it still slowed down their progress and increased their casualties. Seeing this, Kaya waved his Magic Staff towards the ground.

"Quicksand Vortex." A great amount of Magic Power was released, creating invisible vortexes beneath the ground that took care of the skeletons and Demon Extermination Spirits hidden below.

However, just at that moment, another arrow flew, striking the layer of red light on Kaya, causing it to tremble continuously. Kaya’s expression changed, and he stopped casting the spell. Continuing to deplete Magic Power on a large scale was unwise.

Besides, there was a powerful archer continuously sniping at them from a distance, presenting a substantial threat.
