Captain Skeleton



Two days later, the stairs were finished. As it was not too wide at the bottom, Zhao Fu only brought 10 Shieldbearers, 10 Infantry, 10 Archers, Bai Qi, and Old Logue. They were currently walking down the stairs towards the bottom.


Now, their equipment looked completely different. The infantry all used iron swords and swords, while the shields the Shieldbearers possessed had a thick layer of iron on the surface, increasing their defensive capabilities greatly. The arrows that the Archers were now using were also iron, and everyone was wearing leather armor.


Great Qin village is currently unable to make plate armor – there are many types of plate armor, and they all need blueprints. Also, the price of making armor plates was roughly eight times more expensive than making normal weapons.


Right now, Bai Qi was using the Blue – class sword that was one of the weapons they obtained last time from this place, and it was reusable after a few simple improvements. The Blue-class armor he was wearing was from the Violent Fire Rabbit that he had killed before.


Zhao Fu stayed behind – he was not the one who rushed at the enemy, so he was only wearing a Normal grade leather armor as it would be more suitable for Bai Qi to have a Blue grade leather armor.


Their group held torches, and the formation was as follows: Bai Qi and Shieldbearers in the first row, Infantry in the second row, Archers in the third row, and then Zhao Fu and Old Logue, respectively, the Mage, on the fourth row.


As they slowly advanced, blue flame tongues appeared on the heads of the five Skeletons in front. They raised their weapons and rushed to the human group. These five Skulls were all Infantry and held swords, swords, or spears.


Bai Qi and Shieldbearers created a defensive wall, blocking the Skeleton warriors. The Skeleton warriors swung their weapons at the Shieldbearers, but they were blocked by Shieldbearers' shields.


The Archers drew their bows and fired arrows at the Skeleton warriors. Arrows were not very effective against Skeletons because unless the arrow hit the Skeleton head, the arrow would not produce much damage. However, the arrows could deter Skeleton warriors, giving the Infantry a chance to attack.


This time, Bai Qi and Old Logue did not do much about – five Skeleton soldiers were split by Shieldbearers while Archers made them difficult to attack, and the Infantry attacked the Skeleton army, causing them to retreat. After the Skeleton army lost its balance, the Infantry wildly attacked them without any worry.


After doing this three or four times, the Skeleton warriors became a pile of bones. Since the Skulls were driven by spirit power, once their spirit power dried up, they would naturally 'die'. Five Skeleton soldiers dropped three Fine Martial Souls and five weapons.


After advancing, they encountered six Skeleton Infantry and two Skeleton Archers.


The six Skeleton Infantry raised their weapons and rushed to Zhao Fu's group fearlessly. The Skeleton Archers drew arrows from their quivers and drew their rusty bows.


Swish! Swish!


Two arrows tore through the air and drew bows as they flew towards the group of Zhao Fu people.


Shieldbearers quickly raised their shields, blocking the two arrows. However, now, the six Skeleton Infantry were right in front of them. If the Skeleton Archers continuously fired arrows, they would interfere with the coordination of Zhao Fu's army. Moreover, if they were not careful, they would be hit by Skeleton Archer arrows, causing injury or death.


Zhao Fu immediately called out, "Old Logue, attack!"


Old Logue obeyed and raised his wooden staff as two blood-colored fireballs flew into the Skeleton, blasting the six Infantry Skeletons backwards.


Zhao Fu once again ordered, "The archer, suppress those two Skull Archers!"


The Archers drew their bows, sending arrow after arrow towards the Skull Archers, who were about to attack again.


After this, Zhao Fu ordered, "Bai Qi, hurry over there and deal with those two Skull Archers."


Bai Qi ran around the six Infantry Skeletons that had been blasted backwards and charged towards the two Skeleton Archers.


Now, the six Skeleton Infantry slowly came back to their feet, and Zhao Fu quickly shouted, "Shield! Separate them and attack them like last time! ”


Zhao Fu gave many orders, and everyone quickly carried them out. Shieldbearers and Infantry formed six small teams and separated the Skeleton Infantry while 10 Archers shot at them whenever they found a chance. Bai Qi rushed to the Skull Archer and swung with his sword, which was covered with sword qi.


Old Logue looked up and looked at Zhao Fu giving the order. Before, even when they were enemies, Old Logue felt extremely afraid of him because she felt that Zhao Fu was very calm and rational when dealing with problems.


Zhao Fu quickly analyzed the situation and quickly gave orders in a coherent and calm manner, twisting this situation for them. Old Logue felt that it was natural for his village to submit to Zhao Fu, and his Loyalty towards Zhao Fu increased.


Now that their allies and enemies were fighting within such a close range, Zhao Fu and Old Logue could only stand and watch.


Bai Qi was the first to succeed. He cut off one of the Skeleton Archer's heads and slashed his sword in another way, sending another Skeleton Archer crashing against the wall, after which it shattered into shambles.


Shieldbearers and Infantry were also coordinating as they did last time, and they were handling the Infantry Skeleton one by one.


This time, they obtained 10 weapons: eight were Blue class and two were White class, and two White class weapons were Archer short swords. There were also five Fine Martial Souls.


After a short rest, they continued their journey.


It was completely dark inside that passageway, and the dark made him feel as if there was no end. It was also silent, making everyone feel quite alert.


At this moment, the voices of the Skulls coming to life could be heard. There were 12 Skeletons at the moment; 11 of them were Skeletal warriors holding swords, while the latter wielded large swords and wore armor. The last Skeleton name displayed was [Captain Skeleton].


The situation instantly became extremely dangerous for Zhao Fu and his soldiers.


The Skeleton Captain unsheathed his sword and roared as shapeless sound waves rippled out, his voice extremely ear-piercing.


After this, the Skeleton Captain rushed over with the other Skeleton soldiers behind him, and they did not seem to be awkward or disorganized at all. They followed behind the Skeleton Captain as if they were living soldiers, and they gave off an unstoppable aura as they charged towards Zhao Fu's army.


"Is this Captain's Skeleton effect?" Zhao Fu muttered before shouting, "Set up the formation!"


The expressions of the soldiers became gloomy as they started to move. Shieldbearers formed a shield wall with the Infantry behind them, and the Archers prepared their arrows.


"Fire!"


The Archers obeyed, and arrows shot through the air, reaching the Skeleton in an instant. The Skeleton Captain brandished his greatsword, and a cold light shone when five or six arrows were cut from the air.


At this moment, Zhao Fu roared, "Logue !!"


Old Logue was fully prepared, and he raised his wooden staff, unleashing his full strength. Two blood-colored fireballs appeared above his head, and it was twice the size of the previous one.


Old Logue waved his wooden staff, causing two blood-colored fireballs to fly into the Skeleton.


The Skeleton Captain did not seem to be afraid of those two fireballs at all. The Skeleton Captain tilted his sword as a gray ray of light extended from the sword, and it would slash into the two fireballs.


At this moment, Zhao Fu coldly clucked. He had long drawn the Iron Wood bow, and the arrow knocking on it shone with a mystical yellow light as he let go.


Whooshing sound!


The arrow shot out like a bolt of lightning.
