Chapter 29 The Thief King Has Sent Us a Challenge and Asked Us to Fight Him Tomorrow. How Should We Fight Him?
In the evening, the setting sun was like blood in the desert.
Two armies, one from the underworld and one from the human world, had already mixed up with each other, engaging in the most brutal fight!
The steel knives of the dead tore apart the human bodies, and the human strength was extremely fragile in close combat with the dead army. The Egyptian melee soldiers holding spears and battle axes could only delay time. As long as the dead warriors got close, even the phalanx would be quickly broken through, and once the formation was lost, the huge gap in hard power between the dead soldiers and human warriors would be further magnified!
After suffering several waves of losses in battle, Shada, who was in charge of commanding the Egyptian army, soon discovered the secret that the dead's movements were very mechanical and rigid. After reorganizing the formation, he began to choose a large number of tactics to use long-range archers to fire rockets and catapults to use fire attacks to weaken the combat effectiveness of the dead. At the same time, the melee troops were mainly responsible for attracting attention and using their lives to protect the long-range troops when necessary.
If it is a battle between humans, then unless there are special tactics, long-range weapons such as bows and catapults can only play a role of harassment and deterrence, and the main output is still melee infantry. After all, one arrow can basically not kill a person, and there are also fierce men who continue to fight under dozens of arrows.
But it is different now. Fire is the enemy of the dead. After the fire, there is no undead army that will not be destroyed. At the same time, because the undead army is chaotic and has no formation, each rocket can take away at least one undead, and sometimes they can take down more than one when they are densely positioned; the fireballs thrown by catapults are even more powerful weapons. Once they explode in the undead army, dozens of undead will disappear from this world...
After seeing that this tactic is effective, Xiada immediately invested a large number of bow and arrow chariots to harass the enemy from the flank; these skilled noble warriors come and go freely on the battlefield, and their arrows never miss a target. Most of the undead, who are infantry and all melee, are difficult to threaten the main output of these enemies. Even if the undead army has cavalry, they will often be burned to death on the way to charge.
In this way, humans and undead formed a balance in close combat and long-range combat: Shada did not dare to abandon the formation casually, and Aknadi did not dare to concentrate his strength to launch a charge casually. For a while, it seemed that no one could do anything to anyone.
In fact, this was the effect that the undead army could only achieve with the defected Aknadi as the commander. If there was no leader, when facing a master like Shada, even if the undead could crush humans in close combat, they would only be treated like dogs - they often liked to use the power of the undead themselves and the characteristics of not fearing death to charge like pigs, and then they would be harvested by the enemy with flames in an instant.
However, what was going on now was not just a duel between the undead army and human soldiers - the more important battle was still in the sky.
Air combat, for people in this era without airplanes, seemed to be a very distant thing; but in the eyes of the priest group and the possessed Thief King, this was a fact that was definitely going on.
The gate of the underworld behind Tapir has opened a crack. Although this crack is not enough for the "Underworld Great Evil God Zok" to descend, it is enough for Zok's subordinates to explore the way in this world first. Therefore, Tapir is now controlling the 666 demons sent to him by Zok alone!
Most of the 666 demons are not very strong, but they are in large numbers; and no matter how weak they are, they are relative to the elves. If they are allowed to participate in the battle between mortals below, the consequences will be disastrous.
Air Force vs Army, it has always been a massacre.
On this side of the game, there are less than 200 people in the priest group who can use elves to fight. Although the priests can control their own elves more accurately than Tapir alone to control 666 demons, a good tiger cannot stand up to a pack of wolves. Moreover, in most cases, in terms of individual quality, the demons held by Tapir and the elves of the priest group are only on par.
Soon, priests began to spit blood and fall to the ground. Some were just injured, while others could never get up again. At the same time, Tapir was definitely not feeling well, but he still fought back like crazy.
This level of pain was just a daily routine for him.
Yugi was standing in the camp at this time. In front of him were rows of sitting priests, chanting spells silently, commanding the elves to fight Tapir's demons to death.
"Puff... Uh ah!" Very close to Yugi, a young priestess who was dressed similarly to Mana spit out a mouthful of blood. She covered her neck tightly. Her little face, which was as pretty as an apple before, was now completely pale and bloodless.
From her dress, it can be seen that she should also be a priest of the same school as Mahad and Mana. It can be said that she is very good to be able to summon spirits at this age. Her spirit was a "Magic Valkyrie" which was more common among the priestesses in the black magic school. The reason why this happened just now was because her "Magic Valkyrie" had its head bitten off by a "Dead Zoma"!
The damage of the spirit was fed back to the owner, causing the girl to hold her neck and breathe out more than breathe in on the ground. In this case, she would probably not survive.
She was not the first priest to fall. As an old and famous black magic school, two of her predecessors had already fallen in this battle. But now Yugi could only watch all this and could not do anything - because for him, the pressure was still not small.
"Ang!" Osiris's roar resounded through the sky! A shining "Thunder Summoning Bullet" shot out, but was flexibly dodged by the opponent with a demon head and snake body on the opposite side.
"Hiss——" The voice of the spirit beast Dirbondo was like a vicious rattlesnake. He never confronted the God of the Sky head-on, but found the right opportunity to give the opponent a hard blow, which made Yugi very embarrassed.
"Hahahaha, useless, useless, useless!" Under the heavy protection of the Undead Legion, Tapir laughed, "Yugi, have you forgotten? Last time, the sky dragon was cut in two by Dirbondo!"
In the previous "once-existing" battle, when the God of the Sky wanted to give Tapir the final blow, Dirbondo, who was dodged, used the sword of "Gem Knight King·Brilliant Diamond" to cut it down from the sky, staining the sky with blood.
And now, Yugi has summoned "Osiris's Sky Dragon" again. Does it mean that he wants to repeat the same mistake?
Obviously, it is not like that.
"Ang!" Seeing that "Thunder Bomb" could not attack the opponent, Sky Dragon chose "Super Conductive Wave" with higher attack power under the order of Pharaoh.
However, "Super Conductive Wave" is originally a heavy attack of "Osiris Sky Dragon". Its attack power and speed are stronger than "Thunder Bomb", but its preparation time is also longer than "Thunder Bomb" used for harassment, which makes "Super Conductive Wave" easier to dodge than "Thunder Bomb"; why does the game choose to use "Super Conductive Wave" here?
"It seems that you want to calculate the lead time and fight hard? Well, I have to mention that you have mastered the game very accurately. If you keep going like this," Baku Liang stood on the high ground and quickly read the game's thoughts. He smiled evilly at the phantom god and the elf beast fighting in the sky, and waved his hand and said: "Dilbondo, cut off the other dimension!"
"Hiss!" The elf beast Dilbondo in the sky opened his power library, and the shadow of a female warrior holding a light sword was crushed by Dilbondo and then used - this is the power of the spirit "female warrior in another dimension" recovered from a cadre of the "Light Society", which can cut the dimension in a short time and let the elf beast Dilbondo hide in it!
After the opponent hid in the other dimension, the "superconducting wave" of the sky dragon naturally returned in vain!
The big move was dodged, and the Sky Dragon seemed to be in a state of stiffness at this time, and Tapir's Dirbondo instantly tore through the dimension, "Dirbondo, release the power of 'Gladiator Caesar' and 'Magic Heavenly Warrior Dulemond'!"
"Hiss!!" A red strange sword appeared in Dirbondo's hand, and at the same time a rainbow-like ultimate magic spiral began to wrap around the strange sword-this sword, even if the opponent is the Lord of the Sky and the Underworld, will be cut in half at this "weak" time!
However, at this time, the Sky Dragon suddenly moved quickly!
"Nani? Shouldn't you be..." The Thief King controlled by Tapir widened his eyes-at this time, "Osiris' Sky Dragon" should be in a "stiff" state, right?
In a hurry, Tapir temporarily left the Thief King's body and looked at the chessboard-but found that there was a chess piece hidden under the chess piece of "Osiris' Sky Dragon"! At the same time, the Lord of the Sky and the Underworld was not completely stunned!
The hidden chess piece... is the "Black Magician of Fantasy"!
"That is the spirit of the priest Mahad who holds the 'Millennium Wheel of Wisdom'." At this moment, the Biao Yugi sitting opposite Tapir said seriously to the spokesperson of the great evil god: "He has been hiding in the mouth of the 'Sky Dragon of Osiris', just to prepare a fake 'superconductivity wave' to mislead your judgment!"
"What..."
Biao Yugi moved in time and said: "Now, your 'Dilbondo' is attacking with all his strength, and is also in a state where he cannot dodge... another me!"
"Okay, aibo!" Dark Yugi, who could vaguely hear Biao Yugi's voice since the beginning of this war, was determined to win at this time, and stretched out his index finger and shouted: "Osiris, superconductivity wave!"
The real superconductivity wave tore the half-charged Dilbondo in half!
"Cough...ah!" Tapir coughed up a mouthful of blood. At this time, the demon army was in chaos. Tapir had to control the Thief King and trembled and ordered: "Retreat...retreat..."
The weak Thief King gave the order. After hearing this order, the dark high priest Aknadi abandoned the evil spirit army on the battlefield and ordered them to withdraw. Then he focused all his attention on the demon army.
At this time, the Egyptian army suffered a lot of losses, so Yugi had to issue an order to withdraw the troops - Tapir was injured, and his condition was not good. Osiris had been injured too many times before; the poor rat bit the dead cat. If he let the pursuit go, Tapir's methods might really overturn.

That night, in the camp of the Egyptian army
Humans who have been fighting all day need to rest, but the other side, as undead, does not need it; however, undead cannot forcefully attack when their master is seriously injured. In the battle between Sky Dragon and Dirbondo in the morning, Yugi had already dealt a heavy blow to Tapir. If Aknadi had not taken over the authority of the demon army in time, Yugi would probably have won now.
However, the Egyptian army now dare not rest casually. Even when sleeping, the soldiers did not forget to keep their weapons in a place where they could take them easily.
At this time, the Pharaoh, who had just won a game, was not as relaxed as everyone thought; in the central army camp, Yugi looked at the priests and generals in front of him, and his heart was still a little difficult.
Today, he had tricked Tapir Liang, but judging from his recovery ability, he might be full of energy tomorrow. At the same time, Dierbondo probably has the ability to revive; and his Osiris was counterattacked by Dierbondo before he died, and he still needs to rest for the time being.
"Pharaoh!" Just as Yugi was thinking about the next move, Isis suddenly walked in from outside the tent. At this time, she was holding a roll of papyrus in her hand and said seriously: "Important things."
"Isis, I remember you should be leading the patrol. What's the matter this time?" Before Yugi spoke, Shada asked first, and at this time, the other priests and generals temporarily took Shada as the leader - the command of the previous battle was enough to show that this priest who was usually in charge of punishment actually had strong military strength.
It seems that even if he lost the Millennium Key, he can still have his own role to play.
At the same time, Yugi nodded, motioning Isis to continue.
Isis looked around, and then said with some embarrassment: "The Thief King has issued a challenge to us, and asked us to have a decisive battle tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? So soon?"
"This guy, he was clearly hit by Osiris's full-strength attack... He recovered so quickly."
"Final battle? Wasn't he just defeated by the Pharaoh today? Are you looking for death by having a decisive battle now?"
"Idiot! Do you still want the Pharaoh to take action himself and put himself in danger?!"
...
A stone stirs up a thousand waves. The news that Isis brought back was not good for everyone, but it was not bad either. The bad thing was that everyone did not expect that the Thief King would recover so quickly, and the good thing was that the Thief King would actually do such a thing as "issuing a challenge", it seems that the other party is not completely uncommunicable.
"Pharaoh, how to fight the enemy?" After hearing the news, Mahad, who was sitting closest to Yugi, first looked in the direction of Yugi and asked what the Pharaoh meant.
