Chapter 102: Unexpected Group Battle
The actual area of ​​the Undead Courtyard in Roman City is much smaller than the 375 Courtyards in Bear Pig Town, but it is also equivalent to the area of ​​two or three regular provinces.

The Dead Sea Basin occupies about one-seventh of the entire courtyard. Although it is called an area, its area is actually very large.

Except for the central forest, there are few densely packed tall trees in the Court of the Dead.

The Dead Sea Basin has a flat terrain, and mineral veins have been detected in the hills bordering the forest to the west. The battle between humans and the undead here has never stopped.

"Ga~ Raven, weak, summoned beast, friend." In the southern part of the Dead Sea Basin, a raven stood on Mu Hua's shoulder and spoke incomprehensible words.

"Well, go ahead. It's very dangerous here. Keep those ravens away from here." Understanding what the ravens meant, Mu Hua pointed to the flock of ravens circling in the sky.

Because of the death energy, most monsters are not adapted to survive in the Courtyard of the Undead, but there are also some monsters in the Courtyard of the Undead that are not affected by the death energy.

The Blind Raven is one of these species.

Ravens are very smart, and blind ravens are very adaptable and omnivorous. They can also survive by absorbing magic from the outside world.

But because blind ravens are relatively weak among the monster population, they are at the bottom of the food chain and prefer to stay in an environment with fewer monsters.

For example, in the Courtyard of the Undead which is filled with the breath of death, you can usually see them in certain places.

The Dead Sea basin is inhabited by large numbers of blind ravens, which will eat human carcasses but usually do not attack humans.

Blind ravens are not very aggressive, and ordinary people will not suffer any physical harm if they are pecked or scratched by them. However, if they are frightened, they will gather in groups and attack those who scare them.

Blind ravens are used to avoiding undead creatures, so humans are usually the only ones who can scare them here.

Perhaps, in their hearts, humans are still an object that can be fought back.

Following the instructions, the raven on Mu Hua's shoulder flew towards the flock of ravens in the sky. A moment later, with a burst of strange cries, the ravens in the sky flew in all directions.

These blind ravens are surprisingly easy to talk to.

They were startled by humans because a battle was about to take place here. If they had continued to hover overhead, in order to avoid being attacked by them during the battle, they would probably become necessary targets to be killed before the war.

"Heh, Mu, that's a good idea. I think I need to get a raven to raise. How did you sign a contract with them?"

Not far from Mu Hua, a thin middle-aged man saw the crows flying away and put on a stiff smile on his face. This was a man who was not used to smiling.

"Raise more, raise them from a young age, communicate with them often, and try your luck." Mu Hua said nonsense.

On a slightly higher hill, Mu Hua and Taibesha gathered together, watching the skeletons of the undead surging like a sea of ​​bones in the distance.

Skeleton warriors, skeleton guards, skeleton generals, and in the distance there was a thick fog of ghosts gathering. There was also a black-armored skeleton general wearing black bone armor, and two death knights riding skeleton warhorses.

When Mu Hua and Taibetha arrived at the Dead Sea Basin, they happened to encounter a small-scale war between humans and the undead.

The human side was led by two demon hunting teams and a battalion of garrison soldiers, with a total number of more than 200 people.

The number of individual undead units is estimated to be two to three thousand.

The battle affected a large area and also affected Mu Hua and Taibesha's hunting. Adventurers would come here from time to time and join the human camp, and Mu Hua and Taibesha were also involved.

The group of skeleton generals summoned by Mu Hua were also valued by the leader here and became important support for the human side.

The undead in the distance gathered into a formation, and a tense battle was about to break out.

Many people often have some misunderstandings about battle formations. The ultimate goal of battle formations is indeed to kill the enemy, but its essence is actually to avoid hitting one's own people in the chaos of battle, thereby indirectly improving the efficiency of killing the enemy.

The so-called formation is meaningless. To put it simply, when large-scale attack units or ranged units attack the enemy, they do not harm the melee units in front of them that are fighting the enemy. As for other statements, they are basically nonsense.

At this time, the Undead side had few ranged units, and their formation could not be considered a battle formation, but more of a queue or gathering.

"Shh~" The sound of the truck's air valve opening.

As the five trailer trucks opened their doors, countless ghostly figures climbed out of the carriages and stood behind the relatively small group of adventurers.

Dark blue skin, goblins, big goblins, jackals, black dogs, two-headed hounds, pig-headed men, and even a few huge ogres.

They have uniform pale eyes and dark blue skin.

Zombies, those that have not yet reached the level of corpse demons, are also classified as constructed undead. Among the zombies transformed by the Wuche Necromancer are some constructed skeletons, and they will also become the fighting force of the human side.

Faced with the huge number of skeleton undead in the distance, these zombies make the human lineup no longer seem so thin.

Unlike corpse demons, zombies' bodies have no life at all and they smell very bad.

A faint scent of incense filled the air, coming from the zombies, a deodorant developed by a necromancer.

It can largely eliminate the foul stench emitted by zombies. Of course, if the zombies' bodies are damaged, even this highly-reputed deodorant will have a hard time suppressing the odor they carry.

"Oh, a high-end game." Mu Hua chuckled, and Taibesha looked at the zombies with some discomfort, because there were still a few human corpses inside.

"That's why people have so much ambiguity about necromancers. Mu Hua, don't make this kind of thing in the future." Taibesha said with disdain.

Leading the battle were two teams of demon hunters, one consisting of necromancers and the other a group of witches.

These zombies are most likely from the Necromancer's team.

Compared to the heavier-tasting necromancers, witches usually prefer to cast spells and control ghosts. Even if they have to choose zombies, they will try their best to select powerful monster corpses to make zombies.

"Everyone, pay attention, attack!" With the appearance of the zombie army, the skeleton undead in the distance have begun to charge towards the low hill. They no longer wait for more undead to gather here.

The Death Knights further back seemed to be the commanders of this undead army. Following the shouts of the messengers and the chants of the spellcasters, many of them mounted cannons on their shoulders.

Holding the staff high, the mage chanted indistinguishably. Flames, lightning, earth and rocks, wind blades, the earth shook and surged under the influence of earth magic, the surging water turned the ground into mud, and also suddenly slowed down the charge of the skeletons and undead.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

The rocket exploded into the sea of ​​bones with a tail flame, flames rose and broken bones flew everywhere, but unfortunately the results were not outstanding.

Low-level skeleton undead are simple-minded, but the reason why skeleton generals are called generals is that they have intelligence that is not inferior to that of normal creatures.

What's more, the commander of this undead army is most likely a death knight, and the skeleton undead's formation is not concentrated when charging.

Faced with these fearless skeleton undead, one rocket could at most blow up three or four skeletons, let alone stop the skeleton undead from charging.

"Thunder Roar Cannon!"

"Flame Demon Spear!"

"Burst flame!"

As fireballs and rubble struck the sea of ​​undead bones, higher-level magic blasted into the enemy group as several witches swung their staffs.

Two or three thousand skeletons of the undead were scattered around, and from a distance they looked like a hideous sea of ​​bones.

"boom!"

"boom!"

An explosion more powerful than that of a cannon blasted into the sea of ​​bones, and the halo of a magic circle also flashed in the sea of ​​bones.

"Bone wall!"

"Magic barrier!"

"Purify the barrier!"

The thick bone walls rising from the ground, the magic barriers shimmering with glazed halos, the rain of light falling on the low hills, and as the humans constructed defensive magic, a lot of lightning and bone teeth shot out from the sea of ​​bones.

Lich. Besides the skeletons and undead, there are also liches lurking in the Sea of ​​Bones.

They are spellcasters among the undead, but they are not orthodox undead. They are all transformed from other species. They are forgotten ones who have abandoned their original race and embraced death.

"Sniper!" the messenger shouted.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

The snipers who had been waiting on the hills for a long time either drew their bows and arrows or pulled the triggers. Their target was these liches.

The damage caused by firearms to skeleton undead is very limited, but these liches still retain many of their original biological characteristics.

Head, eyes, heart, and spine. Although hitting these places may not necessarily kill them, it can hinder their casting of spells and restrict their movements.

Estimating the distance, Mu Hua also set his sights on a lich.

That should be a crimson cat girl. Her originally delicate face is now like dry bark, with falling hair, rouge, a broken tail, a skinny body and sagging skin. Her appearance is horrible and disgusting. After the orc transformed into a lich, she no longer cared about her body.

"Fireball!" Instead of using firearms, facing this lich that might have already cast a bone shield, Mu Hua chose a more effective way of attack.

Dozens of fireballs whizzed out, and many spellcasters in the battle group subconsciously looked in the direction of Mu Hua.

"Bang~bang~bang~bang~~" The arc-shaped fireball caught the lich off guard.

In the continuous attacks, the bone shield was broken, the magic shield was exhausted, and finally a fireball hit the lich's face, and another fireball hit the back of its head as it fled.

"Bang~bang~bang~" The snipers who had already locked onto the lich did not miss this opportunity. Before the flames ignited the lich, several exorcism bullets had already bitten into its body.

The head exploded, the shoulder blade was pierced, and the spine seemed to be broken. Liches are a kind of transformed undead, and they are strong and weak.

The strong ones can enslave dragons, while the weak ones can be beaten by necromancers.

Obviously, these liches here do not have such horrifying and terrifying abilities.

"Inherent magic?" A witch in the witch team, holding a thick staff, looked at Mu Hua in surprise.

The domain magic from the devil's mouth is recognized by humans as inherent magic.

Mu Hua's fireball technique was quite powerful, but in a battlefield of this scale, explosions of concentrated fire could be seen everywhere, and only a commander who was always paying attention to the overall situation would notice it.

"Ghosts are coming! Garrison, drink the clairvoyance potion!" The witch's surprise did not last. Behind the sea of ​​undead bones, a large number of evil spirits, fierce spirits and dead souls also pounced on the hill.

"Squeak~Squeak~" the sound of mechanical twisting.

Several tanks changed the direction of their onboard machine guns.

"Swish~" The rapid-fire bullets no longer sounded like normal gunfire, and the machine gun's flames swept towards the dark cloud-like ghost.
