Among the hundreds of thousands of undead legions here, nearly ninety-nine percent were zero-tier skeleton soldiers.
If it were a one-on-one fight, each of them, as undead, would be slightly stronger than the night wolves that appeared on the first night.
And after the Death Knight's command, a layer of grayish-white fluctuations covered each skeleton soldier like armor!
The skeletons, already strengthened by the "Undead Legion" skill, had their strength elevated once more!
Under the impact of these hundreds of thousands of troops, it was as if heaven and earth were shaken.
In the front of the undead legion's charge, Chen Luo, leaning on the Mage's Hand suspended in mid-air, remained unfazed.
And on the ground, within the spatial gate, thousands of red-armored soldiers were continuously emerging.
[You have observed the Death Knight (Calamity Tier) casting the "Death March" skill]
[Arcane Eye activated, you have grasped partial skill information]
[Death March (S-class Legion Skill)]
[Effect]: Greatly increases the enhancement effect of death power, and greatly increases the legion's movement speed!
"Roar!!" The skeletons let out terrifying roars. Empowered by the mysterious skill, these zero-tier skeletons' aura strength was already close to tier one!
The aura of death seemed to have solidified at this moment. The death power of hundreds of thousands of undead, during the legion's charge, coalesced into a sky-devouring skeleton, intent on completely devouring the enemy.
Facing an enemy more than a hundred times their number, the mere thousand red-armored soldiers had no power to resist!
Even though they were immortal under the legion's descent, the difference in strength was real!
The soldiers in crimson armor silently raised their weapons. No words were needed; only battle.
The tide of death surging from all directions formed a stark contrast with the silent human warriors, but time continued to flow!
"Swift as the wind!" "Fierce as fire!" "Immovable as a mountain!"
Boom!!!
The undead legion's might and the red-armored legion collided instantly!
Fragments of bone flew up continuously. Under the dual S-class skill enhancement, the strength of these undead had become extremely close to that of the triple-buffed red-armored legion.
The moment the collision occurred, the battle entered a white-hot state.
After a warrior slew a skeleton with their weapon, more undead surged out like a tide.
Speed and strength were no longer absolute advantages. When the enemy completely held the numerical advantage, the legion's soldiers were continuously eliminated, turning into white light and retreating from the battlefield.
Behind the undead legion, the Death Knight, who had exerted its full power to enhance the legion with the Death March skill, felt a long-lost fatigue.
But looking at the troops under that man, being destroyed one after another under its attacks, a sense of pleasure welled up in its heart:
"You... are strong! But... your... soldiers.. are too weak!"
Hearing the Death Knight's taunt, Chen Luo glanced at it lightly and then, with a casual wave, new troops rushed out from the spatial gate once more.
The white-hot battle, under Chen Luo's continuous summoning, entered a stalemate.
Every moment, hundreds and thousands of skeleton soldiers perished along with dozens of legion soldiers.
But what was strange was that while the legion soldiers could continuously enter the battlefield thanks to Chen Luo's skills, the skeletal tide showed no sign of decreasing even after tens of minutes of attrition. xxs1
Chen Luo, standing in mid-air, summoned the legion once more and looked towards the rear of the undead legion.
There, dozens of massive Flesh Abominations were waiting.
And on the shoulders of the Flesh Abominations stood hundreds of figures shrouded in black robes.
As Chen Luo's gaze focused on one of the black-robed figures, its black robe could not obstruct Chen Luo's vision.
When the clothes were penetrated, a pale skeleton was revealed within.
However, its aura was far stronger than that of ordinary skeleton soldiers.
In Chen Luo's eyes, as this black-robed skeleton raised its hand, system information suddenly refreshed in his ears.
[You have observed the Skeleton Mage (Elite Tier) casting the "Undead Revival" skill]
[Arcane Eye activated, you have grasped partial skill information]
[Undead Revival (C-class)]
[Effect]: Mobilizes death power to revive dormant undead.
"Interesting, a spellcasting unit of the undead? But this is good. Let these ordinary skeleton soldiers hone my legion well."
With that thought, Chen Luo closed his eyes, diverting a portion of his consciousness to maintain the legion summoning and buff additions on the battlefield.
His primary consciousness continued to focus on skill improvement.
...
Meanwhile, on another end of the battlefield, the Death Knight was quite satisfied with the current situation.
With the Tower of the Dead constructed by that great being at its back, its command over death power within this city was practically infinite.
This monstrous human mage before it, instead of attacking directly, was using these weak human soldiers to engage the enemy?
The Death Knight had indeed noticed that Chen Luo's soldiers, under the effect of some skill, seemed unable to be killed.
But the Death Knight was unconcerned, because such an overpowered skill must come with a massive energy expenditure.
Yet, this level of energy expenditure only resulted in a pile of weaklings being drowned by the skeletal tide.
Simply foolish!
Human beings have limits.
No matter how profound your magic power, relying solely on yourself to sustain such high-intensity spellcasting will eventually drain you!
Heh, let it remain a stalemate like this.
No matter how strong you are, as long as your magic power is depleted, before our undying undead legion, you can only regret your defeat!
Time continued to advance. The battle that began at dawn, after entering a stalemate, dragged on from dawn until noon.
Over several hours of combat, the Death Knight noticed that the humans emerging from the spatial gate seemed to have become slightly stronger.
And some of the weaklings who died shortly after entering the battlefield began to be replaced by those wearing red armor.
As a tier-one Calamity-class existence, ordinary-class creatures of tier zero, whether level one or level ten, were all incredibly weak in its eyes.
Therefore, the Death Knight paid no mind to their changes.
What truly made it concerned and somewhat anxious was the figure with closed eyes in mid-air.
The Death Knight could sense that a terrifying number of spells were being continuously released around that man.
But the Death Knight received no attacks and could not comprehend the purpose of the human's continuous skill releases.
Even less could it understand why, after several hours, the man's aura showed no sign of weakening.
The Death Knight began to harbor doubts about its idea of persisting until this man was exhausted.
As this self-doubt grew, the sun slid from its zenith, and time continued to flow forward...
Meanwhile, within Starfire City, the scene was entirely different.
