Chapter 44: The 7th Wave of Undead Swarming Out
Chapter 44: The 7th Wave of Undead Swarming Out
[7th Wave, Your Comprehensive Strength: Tier 1 Champion, This Time's Wild Monsters: 100 Tier 2 Elite Corpse Knight, 2000 Tier 1 Skeletons, 1000 Tier 1 Zombies, 1 Undead Race Hero Unit]
"Are you kidding me? This many?"
The concept of 3000 undead was overwhelming. While it might not cover the sky and the earth, just the sheer number of them could drown Qin Muye in saliva, let alone if they were to attack. Even if these undead didn't have saliva, the threat was still very real.
Through the Reconnaissance Skill, Qin Muye saw that these skeletons had no treasures, and their bare stats were 24 attack and 22 defense. This was simply absurd.
Even after the novice period, the skeletons' stats had improved from 2 attack and 1 defense to 4 attack and 2 defense. However, being augmented to this level by the Corpse Knights was truly terrifying.
From this, it could be deduced that the Corpse Knights' attack and defense stats must be at least 200, considering that a hero's attack and defense boost the units by 10%.
Qin Muye had also probed the Corpse Knights, who were at level 20, but couldn't determine any further details.
[Unit Name: Corpse Knight]
[Unit Tier: Tier 2 Elite]
[Health: 200/200]
[Attack: 80]
[Defense: 80]

[Treasures]

[Nightmare Long Blade: Attack +10]
[Nightmare Blessing: Health +100]
[Nightmare Greaves: Movement Speed +10]
"Is this a Tier 2 unit? That's outrageous. Besides the base 80 attack, there's an additional 30 attack damage. Who can withstand that?"
Qin Muye was completely stunned. Just these 100 Corpse Knights were enough to be the leaders of the wave.
Their health was also absurdly high, and with their fast movement speed, they could easily engage in guerrilla warfare, making them impossible to catch.
It was worth noting that the Goblins had no movement speed bonuses. Thankfully, they were just cavalry and not archer cavalry; otherwise, they could have kiteed Qin Muye to death.
The opposing Corpse Knights didn't use any magic, nor did they pay attention to the skeletons and zombies. They simply charged forward with their 100 Corpse Knights.
The speed was quite fast, but fortunately, the Demon Blood Reacted promptly, leading the Bloodthirsty Goblins into the fray.
At this moment, there was no time for anything else. Xieyu began to release various negative status effects to forcibly suppress the Corpse Knights and the opposing Undead Hero's stats.
Qin Muye also focused on disrupting the Undead Hero by continuously firing Magic Arrows.
However, even with the Bloodthirsty Goblins' Blood Frenzy and Xieyu's weakening effects, their stats were still at a disadvantage. The opponent had a staggering 200 attack and defense, while Xieyu, at level 5, had only 57 strength. Even with the additional weakening from other spells, it was impossible to reduce the opponent's stats below 100.
The Demon Blood Goblins didn't even have 100 attack and defense, so how could they possibly win?
Fortunately, Qin Muye and Xieyu managed to keep the Undead Hero distracted and heal the Demon Blood Goblins, barely holding their ground.
As for the Corpse Knights, they were not as formidable as the Undead Hero. After being weakened, the Bloodthirsty Goblins were able to surround and attack them.
This was good news.
As long as the Demon Blood could hold on, and the Bloodthirsty Goblins could eliminate all the Corpse Knights, skeletons, and zombies, they would then focus on the Undead Hero.
A hero can indeed change the course of a battle, but only if that hero has overwhelming power or a decisive edge.
For example, Xieyu had the ability to turn the tide, but Demon Blood did not reach that level.
If Xieyu's debuffs had not suppressed the enemy, Demon Blood would have been killed by the Undead Hero long ago, and there would be no way to hold out.
However, even with this, there were still many casualties. Most were not caused by the battle between the Undead Hero and Demon Blood, but rather by the Corpse Knights.
The Corpse Knights had an attack and defense of 80, even after being weakened, their stats were still significant. Even though the Bloodthirsty Goblins had advanced to Tier 2 through the Magic Goblins Factory, they were only evenly matched. Xieyu's Death Curse Aura would need to stack up more layers to suppress them, which would take at least 20 minutes.
The other Goblins could hold on for 20 minutes, but Demon Blood could not. He was restraining the Undead Hero and needed Qin Muye to heal him, otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.
The reason for the casualties was that Qin Muye did not have enough mana to cast the healing spell repeatedly. His mana was not infinite, and even at full, it could not withstand such constant use.
Therefore, they had to end the battle quickly. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for Qin Muye and his team. Although Xieyu's Death Curse Aura stacked over time, a 1-point reduction in attack and defense was negligible for the Undead Hero.
Once the Corpse Knights were killed, the remaining zombies and skeletons, though numerous, would not be a significant threat. Their attack and defense would be reduced to zero, and 100 Bloodthirsty Goblins could easily wipe them out.
The remaining hundreds of Bloodthirsty Goblins all went to support Demon Blood.
The Undead Hero was quite straightforward, focusing solely on the one Goblin.
Of course, if the enemy wanted to kill Qin Muye and Xieyu, they would first have to break through Demon Blood and then face a large number of Bloodthirsty Goblins. Otherwise, they would not be able to breach the defense.
As the Corpse Knights began to die in large numbers, the Undead Hero became increasingly anxious. After all, these were his elite troops, and it would not be easy to rebuild such a powerful force. The Red Wind Plain had limited habitable areas, which also highlighted the scarcity of resources.
Without sufficient resources, everything was futile.
He remained calm, despite his anxiety, and was thinking of a way to turn the tide.
In the end, he realized that he needed to kill the Goblin that had been constantly opposing him. Otherwise, it would all be for nothing.
As for the so-called Heaven's Gift Lord hiding behind, he saw that as a waste of time. One strike, and the other would become a corpse.
However, the Goblin in front of him seemed impossible to kill. Each time it was on the brink of death, it would burst with powerful energy to delay him, and then be healed.
As the balance of power shifted, he found himself at a disadvantage.
With the Corpse Knights dead, a large number of Goblins surrounded him and began to attack without hesitation.
He might very well be worn down and killed.
