Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

The Magic Energy Crossbows in their hands could also unleash lethal power against Black Iron Tier enemies.

Steel arrows fired incessantly from the city walls, resembling streaks of black lightning.

Some were blocked by the shields held up by the Beastmen.

Some arrows pierced through the Beastmen’s shields, then tore apart their armor, fully embedding into their bodies.

The pathway close to the city walls was littered with the corpses of Black Skull Beastmen.

On the blood-soaked slopes, many Beastmen died with their eyes open.

"Boom!"

After multiple hits, the Defense Array of an Enchanted Cloud Ladder was shot and blasted by a giant Magic Energy Bed Crossbow.

Before the Defense Shield could reboot, it was hit again by two massive crossbow arrows.

The enormous explosion flipped the entire ladder, its fragments flew in all directions, leaving the Beastmen behind it wailing.

Fang Zhou in the Central Tower wasn’t idle either.

He, along with his Silver Tier Blood Spirit Mage, continuously cast spells.

Skeleton Storm!

Upon successful casting of the magic, some phantom runes appeared beneath the shield-wielding, advancing Beastmen, immediately followed by an incredibly sharp Skeleton Storm.

The pain infiltrated both body and soul, slowing the Beastmen down.

Some weaker Beastmen were directly sliced into a pulp of blood.

Even the Bronze Tier Beastman Warriors, channeling their entire Battle Qi, could barely resist a bit.

Poison Cloud Skill!

Another Group Attack Magic, a massive amount of undead energy was amassing.

"Quick, scatter!"

A Silver Tier Beastman Shaman sensed the accumulating energy.

He was too late to cast a dispel curse, so he could only shout loudly to warn the Beastman soldiers.

The Casters did not participate in the fierce defense of the city wall, they provided some auxiliary magic from afar, beyond shooting range.

But those Beastmen affected by the Skeleton Storm had no time to scatter now.

They could only barely explode their Battle Qi, hoping to withstand the strike.

"Boom!!!"

The Poison Cloud Skill, charged for eight seconds, directly enhanced the corrosive poison damage to its peak.

The Silver level attack was something these Black Iron Tier and Apprentice Tier Combat Professionals couldn’t withstand.

It was like a bomb exploded in the crowd, broken Beastman corpses and armor pieces flew everywhere.

The Beastmen not hit by the magic stared in disbelief at the scene before them, this strike took out at least dozens of Beastman soldiers.

The Beastmen following behind them seemed to have taken a bloodbath; they hadn’t even started climbing the walls yet and were already drenched in blood.

"Scatter formation!"

A Bronze Tier Beastman officer shouted loudly.

Following behind the main force, as a grassroots commander, he supervised and guided these soldiers.

Upon receiving his order, the densely packed Beastmen hefting shields, no longer worry about evading the arrows from the walls, formed into small clusters holding shields together.

By scattering like this, even if hit by magic, the losses wouldn’t be as devastating all at once.

Fang Zhou shook his head regretfully and did not continue to attack.

The Silver Tier magic was still very depleting for him at this moment.

Right now, his Spirit Attribute totaled just over three thousand points, fully firing could release many times Silver Tier magic.

But this is a war where death lurks in every corner.

Who knows how long the battle will last?

Every drop of mana must not be wasted.

To maintain prolonged combat effectiveness, Fang Zhou must occasionally enter shallow meditation, using Mana Conductor Specialty to recover mana.

As for drinking potions to speed up mana recovery, the situation hasn’t reached that point yet.

Fang Zhou is in the Central Tower now, very safe.

...........

Ladders, one after another, were exploded by giant Magic Energy Bed Crossbows on the pathway approaching the city walls.

This enormous loss made the spectating Beastman nobles unable to stop their hearts from trembling.

The cost of the ladder itself was not expensive; even though it incorporated many Magic Materials, its value remained within an acceptable range.

However, in the primitive spellcasters among the Beastmen of the wild, caster professions requiring intelligence were scarce.

The most common caster professions they had were Shaman, Warlock, and Priest.

But the most vital part in making ladders was the Defense Array.

This was something the Beastmen could only rely on their very few tribe casters to produce.

Their Array Magic expertise was far inferior to human casters of the same level, so production efficiency was extremely low and production costs were extremely high.

Every Enchanted Cloud Ladder’s Defense Array was expensive, especially in the Beastman tribes.

Every ladder that was exploded, the next crossbow arrow accurately hit the body of the Defense Array beneath the ladder.

This left the Beastmen no chance to salvage the Array’s core.

"Order them to accelerate the offensive!"

Purigo, the Warlock, clenched his hands tightly, the enormous loss made his hands tremble with distress.

"Woo woo woo!"

A short horn sound reverberated.

This was an order to speed up the attack, heard by the Beastman nobles commanding under the four sides of the walls.

Those Beastman nobles had no choice but to order their private soldiers to quicken their attacking pace.

After this, Beastman soldiers carried ordinary siege long ladders also started attacking the city walls.

With Enchanted Cloud Ladders and siege long ladders, it temporarily gave a breath for the Defense Shield of the ladders.

And the repeatedly battered Beastman soldiers found their outlet.

Holding shields with one hand, biting war axes in their mouths, they climbed up the walls using both hands and feet.

After the Beastmen began ascending the city, the defending troops facing the wall could not shoot at these enemies due to the angle.

But the soldiers on a neighboring section, due to the angle, could very well strike at these Beastmen.

Arrows descended crazily for a while, and the Beastmen crawling on the long ladders had no opportunities to evade, causing the casualties to soar.

Corpses continually fell from the ladders, sometimes even tumbling over other Beastmen climbing behind them.

"Boom!"

The surviving two Enchanted Cloud Ladders finally hooked onto the city walls.

The Enchanted Cloud Ladders were higher than the city walls, with several javelin-throwing Beastman warriors standing atop them.

The board in front of the ladder was lowered, and the claws at the end firmly gripped onto the city walls and secured themselves.

And the Beastman soldiers packed like canned goods inside the ladder were now howling as they charged out.

Utilizing their superior position, they directly charged at the defending troops on the wall.

And the Beastmen throwers on top of the ladder weren’t idle either, hurling their javelins with force.

"Ah!"

A stationed soldier held a Magic Energy Crossbow, continually firing.

The intense battle left him flushed, ignoring the impending danger.

Thud!

The javelin thrown by the Beastman hit him.

The javelin, imbued with Battle Qi and propelled by the Beastman’s tremendous force, created a large hole through his chest and abdomen.

This soldier could only emit a scream before perishing in battle.

The Beastmen rushing out from the ladder were all formidable warriors, at the very least they were Black Iron Tier Beastman Warriors.

As Vanguard Warriors, they were better equipped.

Their purpose was to hold the battleground on the city head, providing a foothold for comrades behind.

The incoming Vanguard Beastman Warriors held shields and wielded blades; some even carried giant swords, their immense strength made them wield these weapons with ease.

"Owoo!"

These Beastman soldiers crammed in the ladder for a long time, now like vicious beasts released from their cage, they howled excitedly.

But awaiting them wasn’t weak troops, but fearless Blood Spirit Warriors.

The Silver level Blood Spirit Warriors in full Flesh Armor acted as defense pillars atop the city wall, waiting for these climbing Beastmen.

They specifically targeted the elite.

Under the burning Ghost Skull and Soul Fire, the Blood Spirit Warriors charged head-on against the attacking Beastmen, a swing of the Iron Shield dazed one of the fastest charging Beastman Warrior.

The charging Beastman Warrior saw the Iron Shield approaching, the shield gleaming with green lights grew closer in his perspective.

His keen eyes even glimpsed the mysterious runes faintly visible on the shield.

"Bang!"

The Iron Shield bashed the Beastmen backward with heads raised, the brains of the Beastman Warrior were knocked out.
