Chapter 356: Golden Flames

It was about to be a hard battle, and Kant’s heart was unusually heavy.

The evil aura of the curtain of death, which was emitting a thick darkness, had almost solidified. Even if the golden sun disk above the Oasis Lookout was emitting an infinite amount of gold light, it could not completely disperse the darkness.

The great power of the sun disk could only protect the critical area of this place.

Death was encroaching.

In the outer area that was unable to be illuminated by the golden light, the vegetation and trees that were originally lush and green instantly withered due to the bone-chilling cold. Their entire body turned gray-black as they were completely defeated by the darkness.

If one were to look into the darkness, countless faint blue light spots were swaying within.

An endless army of undead immediately arrived.

They swept across the entire Nahrin desert and unscrupulously flattened it. Only when they reached the Oasis Lookout and the area covered by the sun’s disk did they finally stop and enter a stalemate.

However, Kant and the people in the castle did not think that they had stopped the enemy’s advance.

This was impossible.

The darkness that blotted out the sky was even denser than the golden light released by the sun disk.

It was at the outermost area protected by the golden light.

The black fog churned.

Although the golden light was shining along with the disk, there were still wisps of black gas struggling to fuse in.

But soon, the golden light on the disk would circulate, and the wisps of black gas that broke in would be instantly vaporized, turned into a void of nothingness. It was obvious that the stalemate and confrontation between the two sides would not last long.

“It’s still not working. The sun disk can’t Stop the erosion of the curtain of death.”

Kant clenched his fists slightly.

The evil aura of the curtain of death was too shocking. Although the positive energy contained in the sun disk was still strong, it was clearly not enough to completely disperse the curtain of death.

He could only do his best to protect the area and mitigate the damage from the erosion.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang –”

At this moment, distant drumming was heard.

The sound was intense and dull, like the waves that hit the reef on the eve of a storm.

However, Kant’s face instantly stiffened, including the soldiers on the city wall and arrow tower who were ready. All of them subconsciously tightened the weapons in their hands and stared at the darkness that was pressing down from the north.

That’s right, the curtain of death that blotted out the sun and condensed into darkness was already pressing down on them.

It stretched across the entire horizon and directly surrounded the Oasis Lookout.

Including the sky above their heads.

Then, it closed up, like a demon opening its arms and pulling the Oasis Lookout that was emitting a golden glow into its embrace.

Countless pale blue soul flames were jumping up and down within them like tiny flames. A large amount of noise appeared around the Oasis Lookout. It was the rustling sound of countless feet stepping on the sand. It was the sound of countless undead warriors.

A group of warriors who should have been wiped out in history had turned back into skeletons and stood up!

The undead’s combat unit.

“Skeleton soldiers!”

Kant spoke slowly, his tone heavy.

In the curtain of death, skeleton soldiers with white bones were wearing tattered ancient armor and holding weapons that were also rotten beyond repair. They walked out of the black fog and stepped into the golden light that was covered by the sun disk!

Groups of skeleton soldiers surrounded the circular blessed land like a swarm of ants advancing together!

There were so many of them!

Bandake’s eyes were filled with surprise.

The red light in his eyes flickered. His voice was enhanced by extraordinary power and instantly appeared in the entire space. “The enemy has entered our estate. Everyone, pick up your weapons and get ready for battle!”

“Yes!”

On the city walls, on the arrow towers, on the towers, and even within the castle, a chorus of responses simultaneously appeared.

The voice was filled with determination, and Kant’s suppressed emotions were instantly broken. He turned his head to look at the many solemn faces, but his eyes were filled with vigor. With the soldiers who were fanatical towards war, he also regained his composure.

The enemy had already arrived and was advancing towards them. The war had already begun.

It was useless to think too much.

“Only…”

Kant took a deep breath, his eyes filled with determination. “Victory will be ours!”

Kant unsheathed the king’s sword. Looking forward, his expression was extremely serious as he ordered loudly, “Pass down the order, no free firing. Wait until the enemy has entered the 100 meter vicinity!”

“Understood!”

The desert bandits immediately responded.

They were Kant’s current messengers, so they immediately left after receiving the order. They quickly reported this order to the various city walls, arrow towers, towers, and city gates.

Many of the Swadian crossbowmen and Veruga archers also temporarily put down their bows after receiving the order.

They were facing the undead.

Undead skeletons devoid of flesh and blood, made up of countless bones!

This meant that long-range attacks could only deal minimal damage to the undead. Even if these skeleton soldiers were hit by arrows, they would take no damage at all.

Even if their bones were broken, as long as the soul fire in their heads was still lit, they would be fine.

Unless their spine and skull were completely broken.

Otherwise, the undead would still crawl and attack. With hatred for the living and the oppression from the higher undead commanders, they were fearless in their attacks!

The undead had already lost their sanity. How would they know caution and fear?

They could only fight to the death!

Thus, Kant ordered the archers to stop firing freely.

They were only allowed to fire when the enemy was within 100 meters of the city wall, allowing the archers on the city wall to look down from above and directly shoot through the skulls of the undead, piercing through the forehead and extinguishing the soul fire!

However, before the undead could get close, the skeleton soldiers that had entered the golden light were actually moving slower and slower.

That’s right, their movements were indeed slowing down

It was as if they were carrying a mountain on their backs, and their footsteps became heavier and heavier.

The blue soul flames in their eye sockets flickered incessantly. Even if there were intense sparks, they would not be able to escape from their eye sockets. The skeleton soldiers’ movements became more and more laggard.

In the end, every step they took was as stiff and halting.

There was also a tiny black fog emerging from the joints of their bones.

Under the golden light, the group of skeleton soldiers clearly encountered true pressure. The dense positive energy emitted from the holy pressure was something that the skeleton soldiers could not withstand at all!

Moreover, just as Kant and the others narrowed their eyes, the black fog on the bodies of the skeleton soldiers became denser and denser.

Then, in an instant, a ball of golden flames exploded!

“Huff, Huff, Huff –”

The golden flames attached themselves to the skeleton soldiers’ bones, especially on their skulls. They burned fiercely, bringing with them the holy power of positive energy. The scorching temperature was like the sun burning, directly engulfing the skulls.

The already faint blue soul flame was swaying.

However, the golden flames spread in recklessly.

“Huff, Huff, Huff –”

The group of skeleton soldiers that were enveloped by the golden light felt the same.

The golden flames all over their bodies continued to burn.

Their forward movement finally stopped. The already weak bones finally collapsed and fell to the sand under their feet. Along with the fragments of the armor and weapons, the entire army collapsed into a pile of bones.

“This is… The sun disc!”

Kant raised his head.

In the sky, at the center of the golden disc, the sacred sun pattern formation was slowly glowing.

Along with the pure golden light, the entire sacred sun pattern formation seemed to be circulating. Every time it rotated, the skeleton soldiers at the bottom burst out with golden flames, completely engulfing their skeleton-like body.

This made Kant instantly understand that this was the power of the sun disc!

[ special effect 3 evil expulsion: any evil troops will not be able to approach within a 10-hectare area. If they approach, they will be automatically attacked by the holy attacks until all evil troops are defeated, leaving no one alive. ]

The holy attack from the sun disc.

It belonged to the natural holy positive energy, the opposing mode of the evil negative energy!

And it was precisely because of this that the undead skeletons that had gathered evil and negative energy were mercilessly attacked by this divine artifact when they entered the area covered by the sun disk.

Golden flames that contained positive energy burst out from their bodies, and even their soul fire were extinguished by the flames!

It was extremely cruel.

But it was extremely effective!

Kant looked at the skeleton soldiers that had just entered the area covered by the sun disk and were bathed in golden light. In the blink of an eye, golden flames burst out from their bodies, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. “Very good.”

The skeleton soldiers burned in the golden flames and quickly turned into piles of bones, which were scattered on the sand.

Layer by layer.

A large number of skeleton soldiers disintegrated and died in the golden light.

However, Kant’s smile did not last long. His face became solemn again.

Because the piles of skeleton soldiers had turned into skeletons. Even the bones on the ground were piled up to be more than half a meter high and more than ten meters long. However, in the curtain of death that covered thesSun’s disk, there were still endless skeleton soldiers coming through.

This was not a test attack, but more like a final attack with no fear of casualties!

Especially on the north side.

It was also the first position that appeared in the depths of the Nahrin desert.

Groups of skeleton soldiers surged out. Their messy appearance did not have any formation to speak of. However, the relatively intact ancient armor and the seemingly good weapons on their bodies showed that these skeleton soldiers were stronger!

They belonged to the true skeleton soldiers. They could not be compared to those skeleton soldiers who were like cannon fodder!

“Unfortunately, it still can’t be done.”

Kant narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his eyes, those stronger skeleton soldiers pushed forward. The faint blue soul fire in their eyes was even more profound.

However, as the distance between them closed in, they pushed forward a hundred meters toward the direction of the city wall. More and more black smoke spread out from their bodies. In the end, the entire skeleton body exploded with golden flames, following in the footsteps of the previous group of skeleton soldiers.

The numbers of these evil spirits were superior, but compared to pure positive energy, they were still inferior on a fundamental level.

The sun disk’s power was unparalleled!

Originally belonging to the era of the ancient gods, it was a strange object that showed the glory of the sun god. After undergoing a structural change through the magic system of the Enfath Empire in the Warwind world, it completely changed from a symbol to a war machine!

When it came to the concept of war, the world of warwinds, which had been in chaos for tens of thousands of years, was never inferior to any other world!
