"Okay, then please wait for me here for a moment. I will bring the skeleton soldiers over. Let's observe the environment first."
The soul officer turned around and walked down the city wall, but he was already considering in his mind whether these unreliable challengers should be reported directly and replaced, or whether they should be temporarily observed.
Qian Hai didn't pay attention to the subtle changes in the other party's expression. He walked leisurely on the five-meter-wide city wall passage and casually patted the edge of the nearly one-meter-high thick wall. "The city wall of the Soul Clan is quite solid. On the surface, A layer of alloy has also been poured, it’s enough for you to guard it when I see it.”
"You guys, don't touch the city wall casually. There is a special energy array engraved by the soul clan on the surface of this wall." An Xiu held his glasses and carefully observed every detail on the city wall. "If the war hasn't started yet, you can destroy the city wall." If the energy array on you is damaged, the Soul Clan will definitely not let you go easily."
"Tsk, if something goes wrong with this city wall even if I just touch it twice, then the Soul Clan might as well just abandon the city." Qian Hai took out the wine bottle and drank it nonchalantly.
"Since we have accepted the employment of the Soul Clan, we should not be too lax,"
Sister Nuan walked to Qian Hai, took the wine bottle and took a sip, and then handed it back to Qian Hai, "Put the wine away. The most taboo thing for all armies is drinking before war. When the beast tide comes, I will be with you." Get off the wall."
"I want to go down too." Pijialou held the Jala knife eagerly and looked towards the desolate ice field in the distance.
"Can you please stop underestimating the enemy so much?" An Xiu frowned slightly, stood up and said seriously, "Our first priority is to defend this section of the city wall, killing ghosts and evil beasts and accumulating records is only second. If the city wall is lost, it will be meaningless no matter how much record we accumulate. .”
Lao Bai also said steadily: "I think An Xiu is right. There is a difference between resisting a group of enemies and fighting in battle before. Moreover, even the Soul Clan, one of the seven civilizations at the top of the Inner Sea, attaches such importance to the beasts. The tide is probably not as simple as we thought.”
"Okay, let's wait until the beast tide comes, and then we'll look at the specific situation," Qian Hai put away the wine bottle and spread his hands and said, "Just like Sister Juan said, when people hire us, they naturally have to do a good job."
An Xiu finally accepted Qian Hai's attitude. After calculating the approximate range of his spellcasting on the city wall, he turned to look at Laura and asked: "On this city wall, what is your approximate shooting distance?"
Laura stuck her head out of the city wall and looked down, "This place is about 4 or 50 meters from the ground. If you calculate it this way, my effective sniper distance should be 2,000 meters. But I am a little worried about shooting ghosts from such a long distance. Evil beast, can the trial mark capture the energy that escapes when the evil beast dies and absorb it into my body?"
"Don't worry about that," Qian Hai said with a smile: "It's impossible for the Creator to fail to consider this little thing."
Laura turned back and rolled her eyes at Qian Hai, "Hey~ You usually talk about how you are not afraid of the Creator, but you don't look at how powerful you are in front of the underground palace manager."
Qian Hai was stunned by Laura and argued: "They saved our lives at that time, so shouldn't I be polite to them?"
"Humph~ Are you just being polite? I think you're just afraid of being harsh~" Laura made an unconvinced face at Qian Hai.
"Am I afraid?! Let me tell you, when I first met the Demon God—"
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
Suddenly, the sound of neat and dull footsteps came from the city, and even the city wall under Qian Hai and the others began to tremble slightly.
Qian Hai and the others quickly lay down on the city wall and looked into the city. They saw an endless line of skeleton soldiers wearing dark armor, holding long swords in their right hands and weighted shields in their left arms. They lined up in strict formations and lined up all the main streets in the city. Walk towards the city gate.
Amidst a long and ethereal horn sound, the heavy city gates located in the four directions of the city slowly opened at the same time. The solemn and orderly phalanx of skeleton soldiers walked out of the city gate in an orderly manner under the command of the soul sergeant, and went to the city wall. A dense defensive formation was formed on the vast ice sheet outside.
"I'll go!! There must be at least one hundred thousand skeleton soldiers!" Qian Hai exclaimed: "There are so many skeleton soldiers in this small fortress!? Why haven't we seen it before!"
Lao Bai said in a deep voice: "Qianhai, you underestimate the true strength of the Soul Clan. Today's Soul Clan civilization was originally composed of three main forces that separated from other civilizations. One of them is the Netherworld Ghost Sect of our Hongwu Civilization. .”
"When I was young, I saw some ancient records in ancient books at home. In the world where the Hongwu Civilization once existed, the Netherworld Ghost Sect had been passed down for thousands of years, and it had repeatedly used its power to compete with other major sects. They joined forces. It can be said that the Netherworld Ghost Sect was one of the main reasons for the collapse of the world."
Qian Hai looked at Lao Bai in surprise, "Holy crap, the Netherworld Ghost Sect is so powerful!? This is one of the three forces of the Soul Clan!"
"Without such strength, how do you think the Soul Clan has developed so far on this barren ice field?" Sister Nuo looked at the solemn and silent skeleton army formation below, "Do you know that in the hundreds of years in the new world, there were How many races have been exterminated by the three major civilizations?”
At this time, countless translucent undead souls suddenly flew out from the scattered houses in the city through the walls. They quickly gathered in the sky without making any sound, and flew out of the city as if they were covering the sky and the sun.
"Oh my God," Laura looked at the sky with a dull expression, "Rock City doesn't seem to have that many troops, right? Alou, you grew up in Baizu City, can Baizu City have such strength?"
"If Baizu City fights with all its strength, it will definitely defeat the entire Soul Clan army in front of us. I think Rock City also has this strength," Pijialou whispered fearfully: "But these troops are not as powerful for the Soul Clan. It’s just a part of the troops invested in fighting the beast tide that attacks several times every year.”
Sister Nuo looked at the sky and said: "I think these troops are probably just a small part of the Soul Clan——"
"Sorry," the voice of the soul clan officer interrupted everyone's discussion. He led 160 elite skeleton soldiers up the city wall, "I have kept everyone waiting. This time the beast wave came in a bit urgent, so it took some time to coordinate the distribution of troops. "
Qian Hai quickly turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. It just so happens that we have never seen such a spectacular sight."
"When the beast tide comes, the scene will be even more spectacular." The Soul Clan officer handed a jade bone token to Qian Hai, "This is the token for dispatching these 160 elite skeleton soldiers. Just put it inside the token Just inject spiritual power and that’s it.”
"Okay, thank you." Qian Hai took the token and handed it directly to An Xiu, "As per the old rules, you will coordinate the arrangements from behind."
