Chapter 986 Plan frustrated

"Stop moving forward." The Skeleton Cavalry Lord obviously sensed something was wrong, and immediately let out a soul roar, trying to stop the legion from moving forward.

The result was that his own legion was torn apart.

This place was far enough from the skeleton pool, and the number of skeleton cavalry he directly controlled dropped significantly, with only one-third of the guards around him stopping.

The remaining two-thirds, still maintaining inertia, rumbled forward, and plunged into the enemy's trap.

"Attack!"

With the thunder-like command.

The two skeleton bags lit up a dazzling blood-red light from the inside to the outside, and the bones on the surface flew. One by one, the killing skeleton soldiers holding swords and shields jumped out from below and directly engaged in a melee with the skeleton cavalry.

The killing skeleton cavalry, who had been chased by the skeleton cavalry legion, turned around and rumbled back under the leadership of the skeleton lord.

The first one was the dog demon Andrew who had been shrinking in size and hiding in it.

After regaining his body shape, he still had an absolute size advantage even in front of the Skeleton Cavalry. The result of the collision between the two could be said to be overwhelming.

Compared to the blue bear that Gavin transformed into, the dog demon was a light tank.

But compared to the Skeleton Cavalry, he was an absolute heavy armored vehicle.

The bone hammers of the Skeleton Cavalry hit the dog demon, making a crisp roar, and were bounced away.

These bone hammers did not even touch the hair of the dog demon, but were blocked by the magic shield wrapped around him.

This is the powerful damage reduction ability brought by the extraordinary body, and only those powerful magic weapons can break it.

The bone weapons of the Skeleton Cavalry are naturally not magic weapons, at least most of them are not.

Even if they break through this layer of damage reduction, there is another layer waiting for them, which belongs to the powerful damage reduction of the dog demon itself.

Damage reduction is divided into two types.

One is this external magic shield, and the other is internal and physical, such as the fur and muscles of the dog demon, and Gavin's battle armor.

The two can be superimposed on each other, belonging to double-layer armor and double-layer defense.

The dog demon, which has already soared to nearly 100 kilometers per hour, does not need to make additional attack actions at all. The collision is extremely deadly. Seven or eight skeleton cavalrymen, including their mounts, flew backwards and hit the skeleton cavalry behind them, curbing their offensive.

After being surrounded by the skeleton cavalry, the dog demon jumped up and jumped on their heads, running on the air. In the blink of an eye, he jumped out of their encirclement and soon joined the killing skeleton cavalry behind him.

Levitation.

One of the spell-like abilities of the dog demon, which can be used at will.

This is also one of the powerful places of this demon. His spell-like abilities are all biased towards misleading and teleporting, making him elusive. Coupled with his excellent combat power, once he is targeted, it is difficult to get rid of it.

This time, the dog demon did not continue to fight alone, but as the vanguard of the killing skeleton cavalry, rushed to the place where the enemy seemed to have the most complete organization and the strongest attack power, and tore them apart.

After his repeated struggles, the momentum of the skeleton cavalry corps was completely curbed.

Although the number of the killing skeleton cavalry was small, the organization was complete and the momentum was strong. They knocked dozens of skeleton cavalry off their horses and blocked the narrow road.

The killing skeleton soldiers who were ambushed under the skeleton pack took the opportunity to kill out and rushed into the skeleton cavalry, and got into a melee with them.

What is the strongest point of the cavalry?

Mobility.

The most terrifying thing about them is the group charge, and the moment they tear the enemy army apart, the skeleton cavalry is no exception.

When they are entangled with the infantry, their strength is greatly reduced. At best, the skeleton warhorse can help them kick the skeleton soldiers.

Now there is no such opportunity. The passage between the two skeleton packs is not large.

The two armies were mixed together, and the place was tightly packed. The skeleton horses had difficulty even turning around, let alone attacking.

Both sides could only fight with each other with hammers and swords.

In this kind of attrition war, the skeleton cavalry was at a disadvantage in terms of quantity and special abilities.

It was only a matter of time before they were eaten away by the killing skeleton soldiers.

The only chance for the skeleton cavalry corps was the 600 elite soldiers led by the skeleton cavalry lord.

Gavin's strategies and tactics have always been linked together, so how could he leave such an obvious loophole.

He also had an ambush, which was himself.

In other words, the ultimate goal of this ambush was not to split and annihilate the skeleton cavalry's living force.

But like the last time, let the skeleton cavalry lord take the initiative to expose himself, so that he could launch the king-capturing tactics.

Unfortunately, the shape of the skeleton cavalry lord was not as unique as the skeleton lord, and he could be distinguished from the skeletons at a glance.

Gavin could only repeat his old trick, transforming into a giant bear, and rushing forward like a heavy tank.

He slapped with his right palm and transformed with his left palm.

With just one person, he made this elite skeleton cavalry fall to the ground, making them look miserable.

The killing skeleton cavalry following Gavin were like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.

The skeleton cavalry lord had never seen such a scene before.

A giant bear was several times faster than a cheetah, and its strength was terrifying. With one paw, even those skeleton cavalrymen wearing skeleton armor were smashed into pieces.

The key is the opponent's ability to transform skeleton cavalrymen. Even those high-level undead or demons can only dominate these low-level lords, rather than directly seize their control of troops.

"Retreat!" The skeleton cavalry lord did not dare to fight at all. He issued a retreat order without hesitation and ran towards his own skeleton pool.

As long as he returned there, he would have tens of thousands of skeleton cavalrymen and skeleton horses to call on, and use the skeleton sea tactics to block the opponent.

The premise is that he can return smoothly.

The running speed of the giant bear is obviously higher than theirs.

Even if the skeleton cavalry lord keeps sending troops to intercept, he still can't get rid of them.

The four or five kilometers of the way home is like an insurmountable natural barrier.

The number of skeleton cavalrymen following the Skeleton Cavalry Lord was decreasing, but more and more of them defected to the enemy.

The Skeleton Cavalry Lord could clearly see the figures of his own skeleton cavalrymen, and gradually established spiritual connections with them.

Some skeleton horses and skeleton cavalrymen had begun to respond to his call and came towards him.

It was a pity that he was an emotionless undead, otherwise he would definitely experience what it meant to be ecstatic.

Bang!

A terrifying force came from his back.

The Skeleton Cavalry Lord only felt the fire of his soul trembling wildly, and the whole person flew out directly from the skeleton horse.

Crack!

The moment he landed, the bone armor on his body also flew out and was smashed to pieces.

The Skeleton Cavalry Lord had no chance to get up at all, and a huge bear paw pressed on his body, and the blood-red light surged wildly into his body.

Extreme joy leads to sorrow.

When the Skeleton Cavalry Lord established a soul connection with the Skeleton Cavalry, the soul power released exposed him to Gavin.

He is a psychic, and is most sensitive to this.

"Huh!" Gavin couldn't help but let out a surprised cry.

The killing power he injected into the Skeleton Cavalry Lord was actually blocked, and he felt an immense power in it.

This was the first time he encountered this situation after mastering the killing power.

In terms of strength, this Skeleton Cavalry Lord and the Skeleton Lord are the same, both with thirteen life dice.

This situation did not occur in the Skeleton Lord, so the reason can only be attributed to the Skeleton Pool.

Because the power Gavin felt from the Skeleton Cavalry Lord's body was exactly the same as the feeling given to him by the Bone Plain, both were cold and ruthless, gloomy and evil.

This should be a kind of plane will, a kind of protection for the lord of his own territory.

After discovering this characteristic, Gavin immediately adjusted his tactics and slapped the Skeleton Cavalry Lord's mount to death, stripping off his arms and legs, leaving only a body and head, and letting a Killing Skeleton Cavalry carry him and run away with the newly transformed Killing Skeleton Cavalry.

Gavin tried to control the behavior of the Skeleton Cavalry Lord with the power of killing, just like poking a hornet's nest. The remaining Skeleton Cavalry and Skeleton Warhorses in the Skeleton Cavalry territory all stopped wandering aimlessly, all turned their eyes to him, and rushed over with a rumble.

The Skeleton Cavalry and Skeleton Warhorses here are ten times more than the Skeleton Cavalry Lord had controlled before. After entering the commotion, the scene can be said to be quite spectacular.

Gavin's goal is to completely control this place and complete the iteration of the arms, rather than killing them all. Now he can only avoid the sharp edge temporarily, study what is going on, and then come back.

Before the half-crippled Skeleton Cavalry Lord ran to the ambush battlefield, the Skeleton Cavalry and Skeleton Warhorse stopped chasing and resumed their previous aimless wandering state.

This reaction obviously has a distance limit, which should be related to the influence range of the skeleton pool.

When Gavin returned, the battle here was also nearing its end.

The remaining Skeleton Cavalry were almost wiped out, and Gavin's Killing Skeleton Soldiers also lost nearly 1,500, and the battle loss ratio was almost equal.

The strength of the Skeleton Cavalry was there, and the equipment was excellent. Fortunately, the Killing Skeleton Soldiers had the Killing Blessing, otherwise, even if the 3,000 Killing Skeleton Soldiers were killed, they might not be able to bite it off.

Gavin raced against time to transform the Skeleton Cavalry that had not been torn into pieces by the Killing Skeleton Soldiers to make up for his own losses, and the rest were left to the Killing Skeleton Soldiers to play freely. They were like picking up rags, picking and choosing on the battlefield, not only changing weapons and armor, but also changing arms and legs.

After this battle, although his own forces were further reduced.

There were only 1,500 killing skeleton soldiers and 1,000 killing skeleton cavalry left, but the quality was further improved.

Especially the four or five hundred skeleton cavalry that Gavin transformed during the process of hunting down the skeleton cavalry lord, they were the essence of the entire skeleton cavalry lord. The average life dice was infinitely close to extraordinary, and they could carry more killing power, so their combat effectiveness was naturally stronger.

Gavin summoned the skeleton lord to discuss with him the reason for the failure of the skeleton cavalry lord's transformation. At present, he only had this person to discuss with.

The skeleton lord was naturally the first time to encounter such a situation. After thinking about it, he finally replied dryly: "The problem should be with the skeleton pool.

Those high-level lords control the low-level lords by controlling the bone pool. Why don't you, Lord, try this method too. "

"I originally wanted to control the Skeleton Cavalry Lord in one step and directly control the Skeleton Cavalry Lord. Now I can only use the old method and transform it bit by bit." Gavin approved the Skeleton Lord's suggestion.

After all, the information he had in hand was limited, and he could only follow the threads.

Now his interest in the bone pool has been aroused to the maximum. He wants to see how magical it is and whether it can collide with his own killing power - control the bone pool and disguise himself as a demon lord. .

After the battlefield here was cleaned up, Gavin did not rush over with his entire army hastily. Instead, he and the dog demon repeatedly tested the area.

Let’s see if the previous situation of skeleton riots in the entire territory still exists.

The result was favorable to Gavin. The previous skeleton riot should be the result of his attempt to control the skeleton cavalry lord with his killing power.

Simply approach the Skeleton Cavalry Territory, where the undead skeletons will react the same as ordinary skeletons.

Only those skeletons who see them will take action. Those outside the sight will still go their own way.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of testing, Gavin directly transformed into a giant prairie eagle and launched an aerial reconnaissance of this territory.

The territory of the Skeleton Cavalry Territory is not very large, with a diameter of no more than five kilometers. It is dominated by skeleton cavalry and skeleton war horses, and the density is obviously higher than in other places.

The bone pool that the Bone Lord mentioned was not difficult to find. Gavin saw it when he first plundered it.

The first time he saw it, Gavin understood why this thing had such a unique name as the Bone Pool.

It was a pond filled with countless bones, but neither the pond water nor the bones were real, but the embodiment of highly concentrated plane power.

Although the surroundings were calm, the bone pool was squirming rhythmically, like a living creature. It would spurt out from time to time, and then a skeletal horse or skeleton soldier would jump out of it.

After those skeleton soldiers jumped out, they would automatically look for the nearest skeletal horse.

Those skeletal horses did not resist, and allowed the skeleton soldiers to ride on their backs, and a skeleton cavalry was just born.

Gavin couldn't help feeling itchy, he dived down, wrapped himself in Ankh's will, avoided the skeleton cavalry, and touched the side of the bone pool.

Carefully inject the killing power into it.

boom!

The bone pool, which was originally undulating rhythmically, immediately began to fluctuate violently, with a huge force repelling the immersion of the killing power.

The power was not as strong as Gavin imagined.

In terms of quantity, the other party has an absolute advantage.

Qualitatively, the opponent's flattery is not as good as the killing power.

It is extremely difficult to exclude them.

To use a very simple analogy, the bone pool is a piece of tofu, and Gavin's killing power that penetrates deep into it is a steel needle.

The tofu cannot squeeze out the steel needle just by squirming on its own.

Not to mention that this steel needle has extremely strong dyeing ability. With it as the center, the tofu is being transformed and controlled.

Divine power is a highly condensed body of faith and ideas. In terms of its ability to imbue it, no power can surpass it.

In particular, the power of killing and the power of immortality are closely related and difficult to separate.

But Gavin gave it a try and once again turned into a giant prairie eagle and soared into the sky.

Because the previous attempt to convert the Skeleton Cavalry Lord reappeared, the surrounding Skeleton Cavalry all locked their hatred on Gavin. Even the disguise of a ghost cloak could not deceive them.

Let’s not talk about whether Gavin can withstand the attack of tens of thousands of skeleton cavalry. Even if he can withstand it, he will not be able to transform the bone pool while distracted.

The most important thing is that he clearly felt that if he wanted to saturate the bone pool with the power of killing and bring it under his control, he would need more than a tiny bit of killing power, and it might even be more than just the divine power of killing. It may even be necessary to use the killing divinity.

For Gavin, the divine nature of killing is easy to handle, but the divine power of killing is always stretched to the limit.

His military strength has always remained at around three thousand, not because he doesn't want to convert more, but because his killing power doesn't allow it.

Those skeleton soldiers with high hit dice mean that they occupy more killing power, while the killing skeleton cavalry takes up more. After all, knights and mounts are separate and need to occupy the killing power separately.

Even so, Gavin still had unconcealable joy in his heart.

As long as it works, the rest is easy.

Especially the killing power, just carry out crazy killing.

He has a psychological burden for killing people, but he doesn't have any for killing undead.

This plan is complementary to capturing the Skeleton Horse Pool. Since the undead here have a symbiotic relationship with the Skeleton Pool, they should be cleaned up before transforming the Skeleton Pool and let them become sacrifices for transforming the Skeleton Pool.

At that time, transform the bone pool again to see if it can still move!

Once you have a plan in place, the rest becomes much easier.

The killing skeleton cavalry led by the dog demon in front launched repeated attacks on the skeleton cavalry group, tearing them into pieces and cutting them. The killing skeleton soldiers behind them swarmed up and ate them completely.

Because there is a pool of bones waiting there.

Therefore, Gavin was very cautious when converting his troops in the future and raised the standard again.

The minimum standard for killing skeleton soldiers has been raised to level eight, and the number remains at around 2,000.

The knights who kill skeleton cavalry are also level eight, and the minimum standard for skeleton warhorses is level five, and the number is also maintained at 2,000.

Even so, the accumulation speed of killing power is very slow at the beginning.

Most of it is used to update the soldiers.

It was not until the update was almost complete and no longer used frequently that the speed suddenly soared. (End of this chapter)
