Regardless of Gaven or the Dog Demon, both demonstrated extraordinary speed, and General Sethstein had no chance of winning in a frontal attack against them.
Seeing that it’s impossible to take down the Corpse Hound and General Sethstein, Gaven and the Dog Demon stopped their aggressive assault. Instead, they circled around them, trying to hold them in place as much as possible, preventing them from tearing open the Six-ard Skeleton army’s defense line and buying more attack ti for the Skeleton Cannons to eliminate more living forces, especially the Skeleton Giant Cavalry that General Sethstein led as guards.
General Sethstein obviously realized this and naturally wouldn’t let the opposing side succeed, beginning to slowly advance with the Corpse Hound.
In such a large-scale battlefield, the Corpse Hound, as a monster made of corpses, had abilities that were too demonic.
As long as it couldn’t be dealt a devastating blow in a short ti, it possessed an Undying Body.
General Sethstein also had no particularly good way to deal with the enemy.
Their speed advantage was too evident, especially after Gaven realized that the Reaper Demon Lord’s shape-shifting ability was not very useful. When he transford into the Dog Demon, it was even more so.
The main ability of the Reaper Demon Lord focused on the Negative Energy Burst, which was a divine skill for self-healing and supporting Undead Soldiers, but for Gaven, it was not very useful.
Instead, its body was too clumsy, its movent slow, unsuitable for the current chaotic battle.
Most importantly, as an Undead lacking constitution, he couldn’t activate a Transcendent Body or Legendary Body.
When General Sethstein, bringing along the Giant Corpse Hound, struggled hard to advance in front of the Six-ard Skeleton army, there were almost no Skeleton Giant Cavalry left that had charged forward with him initially.
More correctly, the whole front attack force had thinned a lot, and ordinary Undead Soldiers were caught in the saturation shelling of Skeleton Cannons, all blasted into pieces.
General Sethstein tore through the Six-ard Skeleton army’s defense line with ease.
A five-ter-high slope of shattered bones, they lifted their feet and passed over it, knocking those Six-ard Skeleton Soldiers off balance with a casual strike. The Half-Giant Skeleton Soldiers sward up behind them, quickly establishing a foothold, greeting more Half-Giant Skeleton Soldiers coming up.
When facing each other head-on, the advantage of Six-ard Skeleton Soldiers drastically reduced, and as more Half-Giant Skeleton Soldiers surged up, the casualties began to rise rapidly.
The roar of Skeleton Cannons had significantly decreased; those defects made from ordinary skeletons mostly backfired and were scrapped after such prolonged frequent use.
The other three directions gradually began to break through as well; although there weren’t Skeleton Giant Cavalry led by General Sethstein there, there were plentiful Corpse Hounds and Death Stalkers. When they pushed up, particularly the latter, they easily established a foothold.
Once the Undead Army completely rushed up the Bone Hill, victory tilted entirely towards General Sethstein.
But General Sethstein couldn’t feel any joy; he felt like he had fallen into a giant trap, a ticulously prepared trap for him.
Just like the previous Six-ard Skeleton Corps, this Six-ard Skeleton Army’s role was to deplete his living forces, especially the Skeleton Giant Cavalry he led, which was the main target of the enemy’s attack.
If all goes smoothly, the offense and defense will switch, and they will face the siege of enemy cavalry.
General Sethstein had reason to suspect that this trap began with those Six-ard Skeleton Corps; their role wasn’t just to consu the Undead Army’s living forces but primarily to guide himself, concentrating the backbone of the Undead Army to use as elite forces.
To facilitate the enemy to use surprise saturation attacks to take them out in one wave, preparing for the next wave of war.
The bone cannon tube fragnts scattered across the ground silently proved this point — these things had a usage limit, and from the start, the opposing side never intended to take them away.
Facts proved that General Sethstein was not imagining things.
Thunderous roars sounded from a distance, and a Skeleton Cavalry charged towards the Undead Army from the outside.
Although not nurous, only about thirty thousand split into over a dozen corps.
Like the Six-ard Skeleton Soldiers, those Skeleton Cavalry were also extrely peculiar in appearance.
Most, at first glance, looked like Half-Centaur Skeletons, but their lower body wasn’t horse-shaped but cow-shaped, and the upper body wasn’t human but a mixed Minotaur-type body.
Their speed was noticeably slower than Half-Centaur Skeletons, but they possessed weight the others lacked, especially donned in thick bone armor, making their charges particularly terrifying.
These special troop types were the enemy’s true main force; the previous Six-ard Skeleton Soldiers on the Bone Hill were just cannon fodder to attract their attention.
More than a dozen corps, like more than a dozen iron combs, forcibly scraped from behind the Undead Army, tearing off chunks of bones.
When General Sethstein reacted, the enemy had already thundered away into the distance.
But they hadn’t gone far, regrouping within visible distance, preparing to launch a second wave of assault.
This ti, it was a blatant nibbling.
With no cavalry left at hand, General Sethstein faced such a situation and temporarily had no good solutions.
Undead Soldiers never excelled at mobility speed, another reason why they frequently used the Undead Sea tactic.
