Soul echo

Chapter 40 The Burning Dawn ([-])
Feisal threw away the scimitar that was nearly broken, and condensed a new one.

It has never encountered such a disgusting enemy in its life.

Its strength is far inferior to it, but no matter how many combat skills it switches, the Dongtu native will also change its moves at the moment it moves, and the movements are smooth and not stiff at all.

If it fought alone, maybe it would be killed by him.

However, it is a general, and it has its own legion!

Separate half of the army to attack the fortress and perform sacrifices, and the remaining half of the army is enough to kill the Eastern native in front of him.

"After all, you haven't even been able to cross the 'Extraordinary Barrier'..."

Feisal raised the scimitar and rubbed against the shield.

Zhong Ye frowned slightly, and glanced to the sides.

The undead soldiers surrounding the castle left their original positions and moved to both sides of the street where Zhong Ye was standing through the streets, forming an encirclement circle.

This encirclement is relatively loose, but every undead soldier is quite far away from Zhong Ye, no matter which way he flees, he will be attacked from other directions.

Zhong Ye also believed that after several trials, these undead should have understood their own action patterns, and if they launched another spear attack, it would probably be omni-directional and high-density.

No matter how powerful he is, he only has two hands, and it is impossible to defend against attacks from all directions.

Use other undead soldiers as cover...

Zhong Ye looked at the distinctive undead standing in front of him, and took a light breath.

——It seems that it should be impossible.

The hands holding the handle of the big sword moved their five fingers, and Zhong Ye lowered his body.

coming!

Feisal swung the scimitar suddenly, and saw the warrior suddenly appearing in front of it, but instead of using the blade, he used the hilt to attack.

This made it stir up the soul fire, and hurriedly moved the shield.

The heavy sword hilt hit the shield, and Feisal, who was in a hasty defense, couldn't maintain his posture and staggered back.

Zhong Ye took advantage of the situation to stand firm, swung the blade of the scimitar away, swung it in a semicircle, and slashed down.

Feisal hastily raised his shield, but it didn't stand still, and was directly knocked down by the sword.

At this time, the spear thrust came from the front again, and the sound of throwing a spear and breaking the wind came from behind his head.

Zhong Ye didn't rush after him, but rolled on the spot, easily dodging all incoming attacks.

"really."

They were rigid and mechanical, and they might feel that there was a tacit cooperation at the beginning, but after a long time of fighting, Zhong Ye had some doubts about those undead soldiers.

Staged or staggered attacks are often more effective than uniform attacks, but these undead have never used them.

Obviously they had many chances to kill him directly, but they didn't do that, Zhong Ye didn't think they were merciful.

The undead soldier was already rather sluggish, and this situation further deepened after he fought against that unique undead.

"These undead are controlled by you, they have no self-awareness at all."

The undead didn't answer, and Zhong Ye didn't care.

This just solved one of his doubts, and it didn't bring him any actual help.

Rather, after knowing these things, his scalp was a little numb.

What he had to deal with before was only an army of undead. They cooperated with each other tacitly and had excellent combat skills, but each one was an individual. As long as he found the right method, he would be able to win the battle sooner or later.

But now, he knows that his enemy is a monster that can control an army of nearly a thousand undead...

Zhong Ye frowned, doubting whether he could escape from this monster.

His action this time was indeed a bit reckless, and he jumped out without knowing the true strength of the enemy.

"...You know, so what?"

Feisal stood up from the ground, the magic power vibrated the air and made a faint sound.

Then, seeing Zhong Ye take a deep breath, it turned around and ran away.

--It's now!
While turning around, he shouldered the great sword, and Zhong Ye strode towards the direction he had already aimed at. In that direction, there was only one undead soldier guarding him.

Feisaler was stunned for a moment, and by the time it reacted, Zhong Ye had already come to the undead soldier, raising his sword and slashing.

The undead soldier reacted subconsciously, but his head was still chopped off. The helmet and skull fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

After knocking away the headless body, Zhong Ye turned into the corner of the street without looking back, and disappeared from the sight of the army of undead.

Although he could still find Zhong Ye's location using 'Life Perception', the distance had already been drawn, and he couldn't use spear-throwing attacks.

"...Haha!" Feisaler 'laughed' out of anger.

It was only at this time that it realized that it could still feel anger, and thought that it had no other emotions left besides hatred.

"Chase!"

Following an order, more than 100 undead soldiers stepped forward at the same time, making the ground tremble repeatedly.

Feisal threw away his shield, turned around and walked into the castle, watched the attack and defense of the fortress, and silently ordered the undead soldiers to collect the corpses as soon as possible.

The King of Wisdom did not issue any other orders, but there were already no less than three big demons urging him.

…………

Zhong Ye ran wildly on the street, his eyes constantly searching both sides of the street.

He wasn't running away, just retreating tactically.

Reckless will definitely not be able to defeat that monster. Even the remaining troops in the United Castle have no chance of winning, so they can only find another way.

And the premise of all this is to survive first, otherwise everything will be out of the question.

The background of Dan's world made Zhong Ye a little bit blind. He didn't know what the earth was like in the same era in history, and he didn't know what could defeat that terrible monster. All he could think of was gunpowder and flames.

Laurel City has a strong religious atmosphere. Although Luna and Luna Church don't care about mages, in the eyes of religious commoners, many things mages do are 'blasphemous', and they spontaneously resist things related to mages. Therefore, there is no magic item shop in Laurel City.

He didn't know where to look for gunpowder. There might be mines, but it was more likely that there were no mines—he heard that the Dan world was still using inefficient manual mining.

Apart from gunpowder, he didn't know anything in this era that could be used to create an explosion. After all, his cultural level was not high.

Therefore, the only thing he can think of now is 'flame'.

Both oil and wine can be used as combustion aids, but Zhong Ye doesn't think that the alcohol content of wine in this era is high enough, and many merchants like to add water to wine, so he can only find 'oil'.

However, it is unknown whether internal combustion engines have appeared in Dan's world, leaving him with few options.

——He doesn't even know if restaurants in this world use oil when cooking!

Suddenly, Zhong Ye saw the sign of the tailor shop and walked in.

Walking into that room, he saw blood all over the floor, thinking that the owner of the tailor shop might have been killed unfortunately...

Silently rummaging through the store, Zhong Ye found enough leather and fabric, as well as a pair of scissors.

When he walked out of the shop, he took a deep look at the pool of blood.

Walking onto the street, he heard the sound of undead soldiers approaching, frowning slightly, and walked away with a bag of leather and cloth on his back.

Found flint and knapsack at the grocery store, toner and firewood at the smithy, then entered some big houses, searched for combustibles and crossbows, and it turned out that in one big house, he not only found a jar of olive oil , also found several bottles of inferior perfume.

The bottles and cans in the backpack were separated by leather and cloth. Just when Zhong Ye was about to give up looking for crossbows and go to the castle, he was pleasantly surprised to find a well-preserved short bow and a pot of arrows in a house.

Putting the quiver and short bow on his back, Zhong Ye looked in the direction of the castle, tightened the bag of his backpack, pulled out the moonlight, and walked towards the undead soldier who appeared at the end of the street.

The shimmering blade left a long and narrow arc of light on the long street, and chopped off the head of the undead soldier!
