Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 621 - 302: Deep Blue Gemstone Dragon

"Click-clack click-clack——"

The chaotic and dense sound of bones came from afar.

Under the moonlight, thousands of skeleton creatures rushed toward the military camp like a bursting flood.

Their skeletons glimmered with a ghastly white light under the moonlight, and faint Soul Fire flickered within their hollow eye sockets.

"Raise shields! Hold tight!"

The soldiers swiftly formed ranks at the shout, heavy wooden shields bracing the entrance of the barricade.

Long Spears protruded from the gaps, a black line of sharp spearheads glinted coldly.

The torchlight reflected on their sweat-drenched faces, every breath hurried and heavy.

Behind them stood rows of archers, their longbows drawn low with arrows ready, waiting for the command to attack at any moment.

The officer stood on a high platform, staring intently ahead, and when the white torrent was about one hundred and fifty meters from the camp, he issued a command,

"Archers ready!"

"Aim above the target's center line, elevate fifteen degrees!"

"Fire!"

Swish swish swish!

With the command, hundreds of arrows shot from the strings, the piercing sound cutting through the air was sharp and ear-splitting!

Rain of arrows drew black arcs in the sky, raining down into the horde of skeleton creatures in a slant!

In an instant, the sound of breaking wooden shafts and arrows piercing bones mingled together, rows of skeleton creatures fell to the ground helplessly!

The second wave of arrows followed closely behind, another sharp sound arose, ruthlessly harvesting the running skeleton creatures!

Except for the skeleton creatures whose heads were pierced and their Soul Fire dissipated, the others would still drag themselves forward on their arms even if their legs were shot through!

Until their skulls were crushed by the skeleton creatures behind!

Round after round of arrow rain descended, yet still failed to halt the skeleton creature's advance.

The first batch of skeleton creatures soon pounced on the barricade, bone claws scratching the wooden stakes, the sharp sound was hair-raising!

The soldiers pressed hard against the shields, and Long Spears thrust out violently, easily shattering the advancing skeleton creature's heads!

This scene brought relief to the initially nervous soldiers, smiles involuntarily emerging on their faces.

The veteran soldiers who survived the previous encirclement of the skeleton creatures had said these monsters' bones were as hard as metal, and ordinary weapons could hardly harm them.

Their words had planted seeds of fear in the soldiers' hearts.

But now, everything that happened made those seeds of fear wither away.

The soldiers' morale soared, they fought fiercer, and the skeleton creatures were utterly unable to breach the defenses.

At this moment, Leon stood atop, watching the endless stream of skeleton creatures, his brow furrowing involuntarily,

"This time the skeleton creatures are somewhat too weak."

Leon's words caused the officer beside him to freeze for a moment.

——Isn't weaker skeleton creatures a good thing? Could it be that his commander has some peculiar habit, wanting stronger skeleton creatures to ravage everyone?

However, the officers didn't ask such questions, maintaining silence waiting for Leon's next words.

Salido was equally puzzled, smiling as he asked, "Lord Commander, do you think these weak skeleton creatures can't validate our Dawn Church's strength?"

Lusen understood Leon's meaning, also furrowing his brow,

"Indeed, they're too weak."

Lusen explained, "Commander Leon's point is, previously over two thousand silver skeleton creatures posed no threat to our army."

"Now these skeleton creatures have weak Soul Fires and brittle bones, appearing to be merely low-level bony skeletons, ordinary soldiers can easily slay them."

"What qualifies them to attack our camp of four thousand soldiers?"

Lusen's words immediately made everyone understand Leon's intention, at the same time raising doubts in their hearts.

Lusen's assessment was still quite conservative.

Because Leon, as the Commander, had the camp centrally located, with two other Noble Alliance Army and Empire corps stationed five miles away on either side.

These skeleton creatures were now equivalent to a turtle scrambled into a net, about to be completely wiped out with a three-sided siege.

Such a suicidal act was really foolish.

"Perhaps it's the Western Alliance's conspiracy."

Leon ordered sternly, "Notify the third and fourth Allied Corps, the Giant Bear's Roar and Golden Banner Corps, double the scout teams, carefully investigating any abnormalities around."

"Yes, my lord!"

The officer behind him immediately responded, swiftly relaying the command onward.

"Lord Commander, Lusen, you are overthinking the undead."

Salido suddenly spoke, looking at the endless skeleton creatures,

"They are naturally drawn to slaughtering life and spreading death, allowing them to quickly bolster their strength and the entire undead group."

"You don't really need to worry so much."

Salido, appearing relaxed, suggested, "The Necromancer must be nearby, we should send an elite squad to find him, solving all problems."

Salido looked at Leon, "Our Dawn Church's Holy Temple Knights can charge at the front."

Leon didn't speak, turning his head to look at Lusen on the other side,

"What do you think, Lusen?"

Lusen paused silently, glanced at Salido, then slowly spoke,

"If we can find the Necromancer, it would be the best solution, perhaps a way to completely resolve this trouble."

"But..."

Lusen hesitated, watching the scene ahead.

At that moment, his mind filled with doubt, sensing something was amiss.

Yet he couldn't discern the true aim of the opponent.

The battle situation changed instantly, Lusen dared not hesitate further, gritted his teeth, and looked at Leon,

"Lord Commander, I think we could try Bishop Salido's approach."

"Since both of you find this method feasible, let's try then."

Leon looked at Salido, "Bishop Salido, it will be under your leadership, and you can arrange the team composition!"
