With a command from the Berserker Heroic Spirit Olaf, the Skeleton Archers fired another two volleys of Arrow Rain, shooting down the dozen or so Little Inferior Demons at the forefront.
Immediately, the Fiery Demons from the Abyss refused to be outdone.
They spread their arms to gather the churning abyssal flames within their bodies. One by one, scorching Fireballs coalesced into a sea of fire in the air, swiftly surging toward the Skeleton Army.
Facing this destructive force, Olaf displayed his excellent commanding talent.
He calmly issued orders, and the Long Spear Skeletons swiftly changed their formation.
Meanwhile, the Giant Shield Skeletons quickly raised their shields high, forming a solid wall of barriers in an attempt to fend off the imminent fiery onslaught.
The Fireball Skill struck like a meteor shower, relentlessly bombarding the defensive line formed by the Giant Shield Skeletons.
Each impact was accompanied by a deafening explosion and suffocating heat.
Despite the Giant Shield Skeletons' efforts to block, nearly ten of them were blasted to smithereens in the sudden storm of Fireballs.
Their shattered bones littered the ground, a silent testament to the cruelty of war.
Fang Zhou stood at the rear, his expression cold.
He did not waste any Spiritual Power to cast an additional Skeleton Shield on these Giant Shield Skeletons for a second layer of protection.
In his view, these skeleton soldiers were merely fodder, meant to be expended to weaken the enemy. No matter how many were lost, he could always summon more to fill the ranks.
However, the Fiery Demons' success ended there.
Olaf did not give them the opportunity to leisurely unleash a second volley of Fireballs.
Under Olaf's command, about half of the Skeleton Archers drew their bowstrings taut once more.
This time, their target was the high ground occupied by the Fiery Demons. Countless arrows rained down like a meteor shower in the night, causing the Fiery Demons to scream in terror and scatter, frantically searching for any cover. Although not all of them perished in this volley, the desperate scramble cost them the space and opportunity to continue casting Fireballs.
This change undoubtedly relieved a significant amount of pressure on the other melee Skeletons.
Fang Zhou stood at a distance, observing the entire battlefield.
With Olaf's commanding talent, a small-scale battle like this was no challenge at all.
Therefore, he did not interfere or try to snatch command away from Olaf.
Seeing the Demon Army beginning to fall into chaos under the Skeleton Army's assault, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel a flicker of satisfaction.
Fortunately, he had successfully deduced the Skeleton Blade skill. This skill allowed the Apprentice-level Skeletons to possess their own bone weapons. Previously, they could only rely on their pitiful claws, fangs, and raw fighting instincts. This change had drastically enhanced their combat effectiveness on the front lines.
The Giant Shield Skeletons stood firm on the front line, their shields raised to block every arrow and Magic Bullet Screen that tried to penetrate their defensive line.
The phalanx formed by the Long Spear Skeletons resembled a forest of death.
Their skeletal longspears glimmered with a cold light. When the demons' medium and large-sized units tried to break through this seemingly fragile defense, they were met with a surging tide of spear tips.
In the heart of the battlefield, the Great Sword Skeletons and Giant Axe Skeletons became true killing machines.
They swung their greatswords and giant axes carved from bone, each slash accompanied by the jarring crack of bone and the screams of demons.
The Skeleton Archers were positioned on the flanks, using the terrain to their advantage to continuously rain deadly arrows upon the enemy and establish the Skeleton Army's long-range superiority.
Although the power of a single arrow was limited, the continuous harassment and suppression caused the demons' morale to plummet and their combat effectiveness to diminish greatly.
Of course, Fang Zhou's Skeleton Army still had its shortcomings.
Since these Undead Summoned Creatures only had the strength of Upper-tier Apprentices, even with the Skeleton Blade skill, they could only form the most crucial weapons. This initially divided them into two main categories: melee Skeletons and Skeleton Archers. In his vision for the army, he was still missing two core unit types: mobile cavalry and Flying Soldiers.
Furthermore, the Skeletons' racial Combat Power Coefficient was truly pathetic. Even with the support of various skills and the enhancement from Crowned with Death, the Skeleton Army's strength alone was insufficient to defeat a Demon Battle Group of equal size.
However, Fang Zhou's own combat power—built upon the Skeleton Series skill tree—along with the presence of the Berserker Heroic Spirit Olaf, perfectly compensated for the Skeleton Army's lack of high-end combatants.
Wielding his Skeleton Double Axes, Olaf charged to the forefront, taking the lead to meet the frenzied charge of the Horned Demon Commander.
Meanwhile, Fang Zhou cast Resurrection of the Dead to replenish the Skeleton Army, which had suffered losses in close combat against Horned Demons, Little Inferior Demons, and Dog Demons. Simultaneously, he swung his Crystal Ball, unleashing the Death Ripple skill upon the dense Demon Battle Group.
At the same time, Fang Zhou didn't forget to single out the most threatening enemies for attack.
Occasionally, he would launch a surprise Skeleton Flying Spear at the cunning Fiery Demon Leader, aiming straight for its vitals.
Although the Fiery Demon Leader barely dodged the attack with its superior movement technique, the strike undoubtedly subjected it to unprecedented pressure and fear. It could no longer cast spells or command its troops with ease.
To further enhance the Skeleton Army's combat effectiveness, Fang Zhou then activated his Brutal Aura and Iron Wall Aura skills.
